Did you like my introduction? Did I miss anything? You're the greatest Trump impersonator I know. We both grew up on Long island, both moved to Tennessee. What am I missing?
Sean Farish
No, I think you hit it all nail on the head. Maybe. Long suffering New York jets fan. I don't know because that is the truth.
Haley Caronia
But other than, well, it could be worse. My, my producer Andy's a Cowboys fan, so I don't know what's worse. The Cowboys are the Jets. It's not looking good. I'm a Giants fan also. Not that great, but anyway, we won't get into all the rivalries here, but I want to talk to you. I actually, I haven't spoken to you since there was a swatting attempt on your house. When did this all take place and what has happened since? Take me through everything.
Sean Farish
So, yeah, this was on March 13, 2025, and my wife and I just moved into the house about a month and a half before. Then we bought at the end of December, repainted the whole thing in January. The only day we took off was inauguration day and then. And when we had the flu and then we moved in. There was an old fence in the backyard. We ripped it out that day and I was tired, so I'm laying down on our couch I take a nap.
Andy
30 minute nap, right?
Sean Farish
And this is like when we started to realize that I'm not allowed to take naps anymore. Because about a year ago on July 13, 2024, I also took a nap and my wife woke me up and said, yeah. She goes, yeah, I might want to wake up. There's a shooting at the Trump rally. They're saying it was like an assassination attempt. Like, what is going on? So she wakes me up from this nap and she goes, there's cops in the yard with guns. What's going on? And I said, straight up, right? And I go, we're being swatted. Like, this is. This is what's happening. She's. What does that mean? And I said, yeah, there's a bunch of people online this happened to that morning that I had read about. And what she described is exactly what was happening. There were cops in the yard pointing guns at the house. So I told her, sit down, right? You know, let's. She called. She called her mom. So somebody was on the phone, right? I started texting people who I know, you know, who I knew in the media, right. Just in friends, family, when being swatted. I'll tell you more later. I just want you to know, you know, some local people here and some folks, you know, in different outlets. But, yeah, there were. There were literally cops in the backyard and the front yard and the sides of the house with guns pointed at the house. There was one officer who was actually. He kept kind of peeking out from behind our shed in the backyard with the gun. And I said to my wife, don't even look.
Andy
Just sit down.
Sean Farish
Ignore that he's there. You know, I had people telling me.
Unnamed Producer
You should film it.
Sean Farish
I said, I am not sticking a phone up in the direction of these people with the big gun. Right? It's like, I got to do that. It was unnerving. I got a phone call from the sheriff's office and said, you know, we had a call about, you know, the 911 call. I'm trying to actually pull a disc. I have the disk right here. This is the actual copy. I got it from our sheriff's office of the 911 call. The. The 911 call was somebody pretending to be me and said that I had killed both of my parents and that I was planning to commit suicide by cop, essentially trying to get the cops to kick the door in.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
And. And they didn't. They called me first and told me what they had heard, and I said back to them, you know, I'M willing to demonstrate that that is not, not what's going on here. Tell me what we have to do. And that's what we did. So we went out, hands up, they patted us down, they went in the house, checked every room, came out. And then it was, you know, police report and the case has been handed over to the FBI. There's been about 19 or 20 other people this happened to across the country. We wound up getting pizza deliveries for weeks after that because they had our address. So they were pranking us. And some of those deliveries actually wound up going to my mother in law's house, my parents house on Long island, and even the house of my deceased grandfather. They didn't know, I guess, that he passed away. So I went to the house that he was last staying at as well. So just, I mean, it was wild. Definitely unnerving. But the amount of support that we wound up getting from everybody was, was really awesome to see people kind of saying, keep your head up, you know, it means you're over the target, you're doing something right. But I would rather, you know, the support come without the swatting because, you know, all it takes is one person having an off day. And that could have been a totally different situation. We could have slept. You know, we have cats, one of them jumps in the window. Who knows what happens? You know, whoever you know is on the ground. Law enforcement could be having a rough day, right? They could be trigger happy. Thankfully, our law enforcement, sheriff's office, they were unbelievably professional. They were calm, they were very deliberate and clear. We communicated with one another, we stayed calm. We now have a good relationship, right? We do at the sheriff's office. Thankfully, they handled themselves like consummate professionals, right? I mean, just absolutely attention to detail, calm, cool, collected, deliberate about everything. But it could have been a lot different had we been dealing with, you know, let's say, a force that possibly was composed of, you know, dei or folks that were trained, you know, inadequately in a situation like that. So thankfully we wound up all right. It hasn't happened since. Everything has slowed down and, and our neighbors now know who we are.
Haley Caronia
Okay, I was just going to say this is one way to, you know, introduce yourselves to the neighborhood. You had just moved in and, you know, all of a sudden you're the talk of the town. Is, are the cops aware now of who you are? You said you have this relationship. So the next time, if there is a next time that something like this happens, because it seems like whoever's behind this is still harassing you and your family. Do they know now to just call you first and check in to see what's going on?
Sean Farish
Right. So there's kind of like that, you know, handshake and a nod, agreement. Right. They can't say, hey, we're not going to take any swatting calls that come from this address. Seriously.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
But it is my understanding that, you know, because of what happened the first time, that there would be at least some sort of like notification, right? That, hey, we got another one and they have to send somebody because the one time they don't would be the time that something bad, you know.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
But hopefully not a full fledged response like that anymore. Thankfully, the whole pizza thing has slowed down. There's none. We haven't had that in months. So that's been, you know, that's been, you know, slowed down. We think maybe there's been a development. Haven't been told anything. But yeah, the relationship we have with the sheriff's office is good. And our neighbors, thankfully, you know, we're in Tennessee, right? Not New York or New York City, where these politics that, that I'm very proud of would not be welcome. The block, the neighbors on the block are like, wait a second, you know, is it because of like, what's on your truck? And I'm like, yeah, it's because of everything that's on the truck. Yes, yes, Trump and all this. And they say, well, you know, now at least we know you're good people. So that's, that's.
Haley Caronia
Now you can make some friends, you know, because of this whole thing. But it is very scary that they sent pizza and they found your other family members. I mean, it's obviously an intimidation tactic. I'm sure you didn't eat any of the pizza. But it's very scary. And I'm sure it's very scary for you and for your wife. You know, you're not allowed to take naps anymore, which I can understand. What time of day did this take place?
Sean Farish
This is at 6:30, which is hilarious because. And by the way, I still take naps. I nap like nobody takes naps like I do.
Unnamed Producer
I nap like nobody's ever seen.
Sean Farish
But it was usually when I'm cooking dinner. So the funny part was if I was awake, I would have been outside grilling pork chops with these cops coming into the yard. And I would just been like, hey, you guys hungry? That's what I would have said. What are you doing here? I mean, you don't want to listen whatever I make on that when I make them pork chop. They're so good. I post the pictures on Twitter. Everyone's every. But they're so good. I would have said to the cops, put the, just put the guns down. Nothing's happened. What do you think? Yeah, I killed somebody and now I'm outside grilling. Come on over. You could have some. We'll all have a nice little barbecue. But yeah, I was asleep. If I wasn't, that's what I would have been doing. Who knows how that would have ended? But yeah, but, you know, hopefully not badly. But that's what was, that's what would have been happening at that time. 6:30. Around. Around 6:00'. Clock. 6:30 at night. So I'm usually outside girl. And so. And I wasn't, thankfully.
Haley Caronia
So is it the same group of people or the same person that is behind all this? Because there's a bunch of people in conservative media who were swatted, I think. Who else was it? Cat turd. Someone else can't turn.
Sean Farish
Gunther Eagleman. Juanita Broadrick. Chad Caton. Steve loves ammo on X. Beard vet Owen Schroyer. Chase Geezer from Infowars. Nick Sorter's family. Nick Sorter wasn't swatted himself, but his family was swatted. I'm sure I'm, I'm sure I'm missing somebody. Oh, Dustin Grage from Minnesota. Larry Taunton in Alabama. Like, so there, there's been people, you know, and we're all talking to each other. Matt Van Swell in North Carolina. We, we all, we all still talk to each other, but we compared kind of notes and 911 calls and whatnot. I don't know. I mean, it could be the same person. It's probably someone either in the same group or it's the same person. I don't know. I, I don't know what the latest developments in the investigation are. I'm not sure if that's because they don't have the information or because they don't want it getting out. Right. You got to think the, the people who were swatting, people who would talk.
Haley Caronia
Yeah.
Sean Farish
Social media. Right. Like influencers and journalists and whatnot.
Haley Caronia
Right.
Sean Farish
So I mean, if I was the FBI, I'd want to be like, hey, we got something. But I can't tell you because I, because, you know, like what our jobs are, which I wouldn't go out there and be like, they caught him and this is the person. But, you know, I would. I don't blame them for being hush hush about it. I Want these people caught, obviously I want them charged, you know, with terrorism. Because I'll tell you one thing that, that people don't talk about enough. And I've said this a bunch of times, it's not just us that got impacted by this.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
Like in this house. Yes, we dealt with it. Our pets are still traumatized and it's terrible. But I talked to some of the neighbors, a few of them have children and they're always out on, you know, on the cul de sac out here running around, riding bikes, etc. And it was, that was, you know, at the beginning of spring, it was sort of getting nice out. But I asked one of these, these little guys, he's a little boy, he's, I don't know, 9, 10 years old, full of life. I mean, this kid is hilarious, Nicest k the world. Always riding his bike, always playing, always happy. He's always got a smile. And so I asked him, I said, you know, what were you doing when that happened? And you know, he said, he said he was hiding under his desk crying because he didn't know if he was going to get shot. Okay, so, so think of this, right? So you have a 9 year old, 10 year old boy who is absolutely full of life, crying in his room because he doesn't know what's going on in his neighborhood that he's lived in.
Andy
For longer than I've been here.
Sean Farish
Right, right. Because some person on the Internet that doesn't like what I say and doesn't like the way I vote, you put that kid now through hell, okay? And he didn't know if he was going to live through the day. That's terrorism. That's unacceptable. Okay? And again, I've never seen this kid have a bad day. I'm sure he does, but I've never seen this kid have a bad day. He's always out there with a smile. The fact that because someone didn't like what we do on the Internet, they put him through that, that makes me more upset than them coming into my house in the first place. Exactly. It's not just us that got impacted. This whole neighborhood has never had a response like that in this neighborhood, ever.
Unnamed Producer
Okay?
Sean Farish
It's a quiet neighborhood. That's never happened. So now you got people they know. A new group of people moved in, a new, a new family, a new couple moved into the house. And now all of a sudden there's a full SWAT response. What do they think?
Haley Caronia
Who are these people?
Sean Farish
Yeah, you know, now luckily they found out because it went all over the place. And, you know, it was politically motivated thing, and our politics agree with, I guess, 95% of the neighborhood here. But, you know, you still have people maybe who don't know and are wondering if they live near a terrorist.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
It's just not fair to the rest of the neighborhood. The heck with us. I mean, it's, it was terrible for us, but the rest of this neighborhood was literally including that little boy, terrorized. And that's the worst part of it. And nobody talks about that enough. I don't think they talk about that enough. The peripheral impact.
Haley Caronia
Yeah, absolutely. And I think, you know, we talk a lot in conservative media about who is funding things. Right. Follow the money. And to me, if I see that, you know, a dozen conservative influencers are swatted all on the same day or the same week, and then people are sending pizzas, I mean, someone's funding this, right? I mean, this, this has to be some kind of a group. Unless this is just like one psychopath who had an extra 300 bucks that he wanted to send pizzas all over the country. It seems like this is probably more of a coordinated effort, but I mean, hopefully with, you know, the good guys at the FBI, they'll hopefully get some answers and maybe you won't know all the details like you said, but hopefully we get to the bottom of who's behind it. And if it's a group, they need to be held accountable and like you said, made to be terrorists, because they are. I do want to go into some more news of the week and the last two weeks that has been absolutely insane, which is Epstein. And of course, last week and this week, President Trump has essentially been telling conservatives to just move on, stop caring about Epstein. I'm not moving on. I'm sure you feel the same way. And a lot of people are kind of drawing the line in the sand. Like when it comes to kids and pedophiles, this is a hard line that people are drawing. I mean, conservatives, like, maybe this isn't the most important thing on the docket that President Trump is working on or focused on, which is fine. And everyone gets that maybe this isn't the one issue that's driving people to the polls, but in my opinion, I think a lot of people were driven to the polls to vote on transparency and draining the swamp. And Epstein is like the king of that. Right. So how do you feel about this? How do you feel about being told to move on? Where do you stand on all of this?
Sean Farish
So I think that the, the number One thing to focus on is the transparency aspect.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
There are two sides of this that I believe are getting way out of control. On one hand, you have a bunch of people who are saying that Trump is covering for pedophiles, which I do not believe is happening. Okay. I want to be very. I don't think Trump's doing it as much as I don't like Attorney General Bondi and the way she handled it, nothing personal, I just don't think she handled it well. I don't think she's covering for pedophiles. I don't think the FBI is doing that. Dan Bongino, Cash Patel, etc. I don't think anybody is actively trying to brush pedophilia under the rug. So that's number one. Then on the other side, you have. If you simply ask for transparency, like, for instance, how did it go from the files are on my desk to the President of the United States calling it a hoax in four months? Right. So. So just asking that question. Now, the other side of this, you know, tribal war comes in here and is, you're a traitor to maga. Nobody's betraying anybody here. I just would like to know how on February 27, the files were on Attorney General Bondi's desk, and on July 16, the files were a hoax. Right. So I need to know how. I need to see that transformation.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
I need to know how we got from point A to. To point B.
Andy
And.
Sean Farish
And I may not like the answer. The fact is, we haven't gotten an answer.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
We haven't gotten if the evidence has been destroyed or tampered with. Maybe say that.
Haley Caronia
Yeah.
Sean Farish
If most of it is under seal, maybe say that. Look, I will say this. Let's be realistic, okay? Releasing a list of names who Jeffrey Epstein did business with might not be the best idea.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
Number one, I don't think there's a master list somewhere, right. That's like Jeffrey Epstein and he wrote it down, and it says, I, Jeffrey Epstein ate a child with Bill Gates 49ft underground on the island. Like, that's not. That's not something that criminals do. Right. You know, you don't have. When you're committing crimes, you generally don't log it on a spreadsheet.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
However, there are. There's got to be some sort of records of who Jeffrey Epstein did business with. But just because Jeffrey Epstein did business with somebody doesn't necessarily mean that he did the bad business with someone. For example, let's say you take your car into a Mechanic, Okay? And your mechanic fixes up your car, but your mechanic also happens to be a drug lord. You never bought drugs from your mechanic. You just had him fix your car. He fixed it up real good. You didn't know any of that stuff. Are you now a meth head because you went to a mechanic who deals meth to people? No.
Andy
No.
Sean Farish
You're guilt by association. Epstein's a little different. We kind of have theories about what he was up to and where a lot of that money went, but let's just say he lent somebody, you know, $100,000 and they rep them.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
Does that mean that that person is guilty of child sex trafficking or pedophilia? Not necessarily.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
I mean, so releasing a list of names, unfortunately, with how much chum is in the water at this point, may wind up implicating people who aren't guilty of anything other than doing business with the wrong guy and not knowing what that guy was into.
Andy
Right?
Sean Farish
The fact of the matter is this, okay? All. All I want. I just want to know what happened. I want to see Attorney General Bondi and anybody else who would like to join her, who thinks it would be a good idea to stand in front of a podium, in front of the press and answer the very, very long list of questions that are going to be asked. Don't just limit it to mainstream media. You could bring in some of this new media that the White House Press Secretary has been talking to since the beginning of this administration and just go through what happened and talk about what you can talk about, right? The set. The only. The only other thing I'll say about this is, look, we just mentioned football before. I'm a Jets fan. Tom Brady is the best quarterback I've ever seen. It hurts me to say that, but even Tom Brady threw interceptions, right? And sometimes you can look at this guy and go, best quarterback ever. What a bad throw, right? I mean, sometimes you make mistakes. I know you're into golf. I'm sure Bryson DeChambeau has missed a few easy putts in his career, right? Great golfer, bad miss, he'll tell you that.
Haley Caronia
I think we're dealing with the same thing, Sean. Don't talk about my man like that.
Sean Farish
Just saying, you know, all. All I'm saying is, Trump, great president, lots of successes. This was a bad throw. Your hall of Famer, you know, hall of Fame baseball player, sometimes strikes out with the bat on his shoulders, and in a very important situation, it happens, right? And it is okay for people who support the President to say he's not handling it the way I would want him to handle it, or maybe he can do it better. It's not a betrayal. It's not jumping ship. It's simply that we want our government to answer to the people. And when the people ask questions, we don't really want to be told to sit down and shut up and move on. We would rather be, you know, met with a civil conversation and given something in the way of transparency. And so, you know, there's a lot of people like myself, I'm sure you're in this position where we just want to know what happened so that, you know, we could, A, we could bring justice to these victims, B, we could know for ourselves, you know, in our, for our own, our own records, kind of close the chapter and what happened on, on, on Epstein. We just want to know what went on. How did we go from I've got the thousands of files to the whole thing as a hoax in four months? That's what I want to know. And I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that question and to point that out because in any, in any other example in the political spectrum, ecosystem, whatever, this would be called flip flopping.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
We can't call it that now because a lot of people get offended, which is crazy. But this, if Joe Biden, if Barack Obama came out and said, we've got all this information and then four months later said there is no information, we wouldn't be very happy with it. So I think we should apply the same standards. That's all.
Haley Caronia
Yeah. And I do think to your point about applying the same standards and not being hypocrites on this and calling out the flip flop when it happens on our side, the left loves to call us cult members. And we're all, you know, this just goes to show we are not MAGA is not group think. We do not just blindly follow President Trump. I support Trump. I love Trump. I voted for him three times. I would do it again if I could. I always say this, but I didn't like how this was handled to your point. And he's talking about how this is a hoax all of a sudden, but it's like the guy went to jail. So what part of it is a hoax? I mean, even just calling it a hoax is bizarre. And, and then he's blaming the Democrats for it. I will say I think it's very strange that Democrats all of a sudden care about Epstein. They never cared about Epstein until President Trump wanted everyone to move on from it. Now they're trying to it is breathe new life into this mess where now I think because the way that Trump handled it, Democrats think that he is implicated. And to your point, I agree with you that I don't think that he is. But but the way that he's handling kind of makes it look that way. I think he's covering for Pam Bondi.

Sean Farish
Well, let me be clear. I think right now she's been in the in the position for too long. Again, I like to compare a lot of things to sports. People may disagree with me. Fine. I am for the third time this, this episode, a New York jets fan. Therefore, I know what it looks like when a pick is a bust and this woman is a bust. I have seen enough quarterbacks be picked by that football team to know after one season ain't going to make it right. I mean, the only one I was reasonably fooled by was Mark Sanchez and then we had the butt fumble. So that was, you know, which I was, by the way, in the stadium for. Okay? It was, I am, it's scarred. And I had a bunch of adult sodas, as Dave Boncino would say before that because it was on Thanksgiving night and we did not leave that stadium. Very thankful. But, you know, you could see.
Haley Caronia
So you're saying that Attorney General Pam Bondi is Aaron Rodgers.
Sean Farish
No, Aaron Rodgers was a good player. I'm saying Attorney General. No, I'm saying Attorney General Pam Bondi is Zach Wilson, okay? The only, the only reason people like him is because of his mom, which is weird, you know, I mean, look, that's it. So I think we are seeing that she's not cut out for the position. And I don't get. This is the other thing, right? Like we're watching this whole thing play out and everybody, whether you agree, like whether you want to talk about it or not, Everyone is kind of looking at it, going like, okay, she didn't handle this the best. How does Trump come out and say she's doing a fantastic job? What is fantastic about what? And I get it. I do his voice. So, like, I get it. Like, everything is fantastic. When he wants to talk it up, I understand. But I feel like, you know, you're telling me, like, you know, these aren't the droids you're looking for, right? It's like, no, those are the droids. I know those are the droids I'm looking for. That is R2, D2 and C3PO. Those are exactly what I'm looking. Don't tell me. She's doing a fantastic job because, you know, like, 95% of the country is like, no, she's not.
Andy
Right?
Sean Farish
So I don't know how long she's going to last. If it was up to me, she'd be gone already.
Andy
That would be it.
Sean Farish
Maybe I have too happy of a trigger. Trigger finger, but I would have fired already.
Haley Caronia
Who do you think would make a better ag. And whoever that is, do you think it'll even make a difference? I mean, will they bring someone in who can at least tell the truth and be more transparent? Maybe. But I think, you know, if Pam Bondi gets fired and they replace her with someone else, I think that this person, whoever that may be, hypothetically, is going to maybe not shit the bed the way that Attorney General Pam Bondi did, but they're going to run into the same issues where they either don't have the evidence and they're going to have to answer for Pam Bondi's mistakes, and I think that Pam Bondi needs to answer for those mistakes. To your point, we need a press conference on this. We. We do need to hear her answer questions, because we only saw that one reporter ask the question in the Oval Office. Trump stepped in front of her. I mean, it's really just been a mess. A mess, a mess. And at some point, they need to start cleaning it up. So hopefully we see that. Have you seen people kind of like, twisting on this now? I just saw this week Dinesh d', Souza, who's been all for releasing the Epstein files and stuff, and now he's like, you know, we need to move on. Charlie Kirk is like, I'm trusting the government, which is crazy. I mean, I trust certain people in the government, but I'm not going to trust the government to tell us the truth or anything like that. So, you know, Ben Shapiro basically telling people he's Got like a more nuanced take to it. But he's telling people that, you know, he's ready to move on because the government said so. I don't fall into that. But do you think that certain people are being paid or told to fall in line? I mean, what is this shift that's happening?
Sean Farish
Well, I don't know who's being paid by what. All I could tell you is you spend enough time on X and say enough things that people disagree with and you'll get accused of being paid for something. The amount of people.
Haley Caronia
People accuse you all the time.
Sean Farish
My gosh, the amount of people that I am apparently paid by, you would think I don't have a mortgage. I mean, you think I'm just rolling folks. Not the case. Okay, I mean, I'll take it. Look, I've been accused of being paid by Israel. New Jersey gubernatorial candidates, Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, Ron DeSantis, Qatar. I mean, like, I mean, the amount of. I'm apparently. Where are these checks? They're not coming to my house, they're not going to my bank account. So, no, I don't know if people are being paid, if they're doing it because they want to, you know, score loyalty points. I'm not sure. I don't know. I won't accuse somebody of taking money if I don't have the evidence. I'm just not going to do that. That's a pretty substantial allegation. Um, I have seen, though, the tone shift where, you know, not too long ago, it was like, epstein files, Epstein files, Epstein files. And then marching orders came out and it was like, never mind. Well, now I'm going to take you less seriously because when, when you're speaking like, how quickly, again, flip flopping, how quickly will that change?
Andy
Right?
Sean Farish
How quickly will, how quickly will. Will you pivot on an opinion that you're very passionate, passionate, passionate about? Now, there have been people who are very passionate about it and have been very passionate about it for a long time. Those are the people that I will take more seriously going forward. Because despite the fact that marching orders have come out to move on, they're saying, no, we're not gonna move on. We still support everything that Donald Trump is looking to do. Mass deportations. Right. You know, this rescissions package in the Senate, you know, we were there for the big, beautiful bill. Trusted him with the Iran, the Iran, Israel conflict. Right. The tariffs have been an overwhelming success. $27 billion surplus in June, you know, move moving to potentially fire the chairman of the Federal Reserve somehow, who somehow spent $2.5 billion renovating the federal Reserve building, which is more money than the Buffalo Bills are spending building their football stadium. That's insane, right? A 62,000 capacity stadium. 62,000 seat stadium costs less to build in Buffalo, New York than renovating the Fed. Very strange. But I think that there have been certain people who have pivoted and, you know, I don't know the motive. I do find it odd. I don't think it's a good look. I think it's a, you know, it's kind of showing us that the spine is kind of squishy. I would like to see people just take a stand and let the chips fall where they may. And I think the most reasonable position to take honestly is love Trump. I'd vote for him again if he ran again. I don't think he's going to. You know, that's not constitutional. But I would vote for him over and over and over. I just don't think he handled this well. Again, Tom Brady, hall of Fame quarterback, but he just made a bad throw. And it's okay to acknowledge that by saying that he didn't handle this well. Doesn't mean I hate him. Doesn't mean I think the whole rest of the administration and all the work that he's done has been for naught. I just think that he's not handling this well. And in the interest of transparency, just give us something. Press conference or something.
Haley Caronia
Yeah, totally. And I hate that it's giving ammo to Democrats. So I want to put up this tweet. So Gavin Newsom in his office, they have been trolling Chaya Raichik, whose libs of TikTok on, on X and on social media. She was one of the influencers that was given those Pam Bondi binders. So Gavin Newsom's press office tweeted, chaya, this you. This was a few days ago. But I mean, this photo will go down in history. She's not beating these allegations like this is. All the influencers that were put in this position by Bondi, by the way, were made to look very foolish. I don't blame the influencers. I think smiling with a binder of the Epstein files is very strange to begin with, but whatever. So I'm not defending them on that, but they were set up to fail by Pam Bondi. And I think it's crazy that Gavin Newsom and other Democrats are now using this Epstein thing is like their new calling card.
Sean Farish
It's very strange it is strange and I do feel bad to, for a certain, to a certain extent for some of these people who were at the White House to meet Vice President Vance and all of a sudden wound up with this binder. And, and nobody knew that this binder was, you know, essentially radioactive, right. That this was going to stick with them for a very long time. They thought that there were documents in there. And this is the problem you mentioned before, like who comes in if Pam Bondi is, is, you know, fired, if she resigns, whatever, and how do they clean up the mess? Well, you mentioned she has to clean up her own mess first. Right. But the, the whole problem with what happened here at the DOJ on February 26th and all over FOX News was this, this over promising of what was coming and then nothing coming. That's the problem, right. You know, when I used to sell DirecTV, I wouldn't make promises that would be broken as soon as somebody turned their cable on and saw that a channel was missing or that the, the HD channels weren't the ones that I promised them. Right. You don't over promise and under deliver. That's something that you call a bait and switch. Now, do I, do I think she was doing it out of malice and. No. Do I think she did it out of ignorance and incompetence? That's what I think happened. I think she heard there's files coming. So I'm going to get on Fox and I'm going to say, I got files. And then the files hit the desk and she said, they're on my desk. Didn't look at them. Right. Talked a big game up all of a sudden, wound up with these, these files and said, oh, this ain't what we want, binder time. There'll be more, I'm sure more of them come in. It's also not what they expected. And now she's got egg on her face. What never should have happened in the first place is the hype, right? If you're making promises and writing checks that you don't have the balance in your account to cover, you just can't do it.
Andy
Right?
Sean Farish
Because she owes people something now that she can't come up with, right? She said that's, and that's the biggest problem that everyone has. It's the files are on the desk, the list is on the desk. There's thousands of these videos, there's thousands of this. There's, there's sick crimes, so many people and now nothing.
Andy
Right?
Sean Farish
So, but she, nope, there are going to be people who are not going to stop until they get what she was talking about, even though it may not exist.
Haley Caronia
Right.
Sean Farish
And that's the problem. She dug herself such a big hole that she's never going to be able to fill back in.
Haley Caronia
Yeah.
Sean Farish
That's why I think. That's why I think she can't remain as the Attorney General, because no matter what she does, she could do some of the greatest work in the world. There are still going to be people who are going, yeah, but she screwed up, Epstein.
Andy
Yeah.
Haley Caronia
They won't trust her. They won't trust her because she already lied. And not only that, I mean, people have their minds made up on Epstein. It almost doesn't matter what the government gives us in the name of transparency or not, people's minds aren't going to change. It is very. It's very sad. And I think the American people are kind of disillusioned. Disillusioned with the government, the media, medical institutions, education institutions. I mean, the American people just have no faith in anything anymore. And, you know, it's people like Pam Bondi that are responsible. So it's, it's very sad. But speaking of Gavin Newsom, did you see he was on Sean Ryan? They did a four hour sit down. Did you listen to any of that?
Sean Farish
I didn't, but I did see that it was that I can't listen to four hours of Gavin Newsom. I can't do it.
Haley Caronia
No. And I.
Sean Farish
But I did hear about.
Haley Caronia
I didn't get through all of it. I was listening to it on double speed and even then I think I got through a little more than half of it. But it was interesting. Sean didn't really push back on much that Gavin Newsom said. The majority of the interview was basically Gavin Newsom patting himself on the back, hyping himself up, parroting these statistics and things that make California look like it's the greatest place on earth. You know, largest economy, all this stuff. He's like pumping himself up. It was like a campaign platform. I mean, it really, it. See, and I like Sean Ryan a lot, but you're always going to be at a disadvantage when you have someone coming in that's like spitting off facts that you can't fact check in real time. So he was just kind of like a sitting duck a little bit. And I saw this as Gavin Newsom is going to be the 2028 candidate for the Democrats, because who else do they have?
Sean Farish
Yeah, they don't have anybody else. Buddha, judge. Right. I mean, are they going to run with Kamala again. Or walls. My goodness. It's probably going to be. Well, it's either going to be Gavin Newsom or it's going to be aoc. You know, AOC can win the nomination. We call her stupid. We call her all these things. And she's not bright, but she's likable and charismatic enough to win.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
So she could do it. I mean, I don't think there's anybody else that can do it. But, you know, you look at Newsom, if. And if you're Sean Ryan and he's got a good show, he's wildly successful, Right. Take nothing away from his accomplishments. But if you're gonna have a guy who you know will lie right to your face, Remember the, Remember the video that came out in January when Los Angeles was on fire and a voter, you know, a constituent went up to him and he said, I'm on the phone with the president.
Haley Caronia
Yeah.
Sean Farish
And she said, let me hear it. And then he said to her, it didn't go through. So he wasn't on the phone with the president.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
So he lied right to a voter's face. He'll do it to a podcast host, he'll do it to an interviewer. He's a politician, okay? Lying is a part of, like the job description. It's what he's supposed to do. So if you're Sean Ryan and you're having a guy who can propagandize as effectively as Gavin Newsom, you have to be able to push back. You have to be ready to push back. I've been on, you know, radio and stuff, and I've taken calls from people who have had issues take, you know, they've disagreed and, you know, I know that this person's on the end, on the air. My producer will say to me, hey, we've got somebody disagrees with this. And I'll sit there and go, okay, I got to think about what this person's going to say and how I'm going to counter the point or that guy or gal is going to own my segment. I can't have that. This is my error. Right? This is not for them. So Sean Ryan needs to be a little more prepared or a little more. There needs to be a little. Maybe, maybe he didn't want to push back. Maybe he didn't want to have a tense moment. Maybe he wanted to be non confrontation. But you have to push back if someone's lying. People, this is a state that has a poop app, right? Like, you know, there's an app DeSantis did this on the debate stage, where it shows you where there are piles of poo on the streets of San Francisco so that you can avoid stepping in it. That's a problem. Don't tell me the place. I don't know. I've never heard any paradise where it's like, you know, five star resort. And by the way, piles of poo everywhere you may step it. Like, that's not appealing to anybody. Right. The homelessness problem, the crime problem, the illegal alien problem, the drug problem. That's all around California. Not to mention the fact that you don't get to keep much of the money that you make. Everything is taxed over there. Apparently, a state that lives next to the largest ocean in the world continuously runs out of water. Right. So I don't understand how you're not ready to push back on Gavin Newsom if you're Sean Ryan. I'm not telling him how to do his job. But again, disappointing when you know the person that you're bringing on is going to do what Gavin Newsom did.
Haley Caronia
Totally. And he just had an answer for everything. And I'm not. I'm not saying that Sean never pushed back, but he would just say, like, well, what about this? And then Gavin would have an answer, and he's like, okay. You know, he would just kind of, like, take his word for it. It's like, we can't be taking Gavin Newsom's word for it. But I want to move now to the New York City mayoral race, because you and I are both New Yorkers. We grew up on Long Island. I unfortunately lived in New York City for about seven years. It was quite the experience. I had some good times, but also some bad times. I had homeless people spit on me. I always tell this story. I was working at Fox News at the time. One of my co workers came into work. Her face was green. And we said, you know, what's wrong? You don't look so good. She said, I'm. I'm sick of what I saw from what I saw in the subway. And we said, what did you see in the subway? And there was a homeless woman who defecated into her hand and started throwing it at people on the subway platform. This is where we lived. Okay? This is crazy. And now New York City, they again get to choose another mayor. And Zo. Zo ran. Mamdani is the Democrat nominee. He won the primary. He kicked out Andrew Cuomo. Now Andrew Cuomo's running as a independent. I mean, the whole thing is crazy. But Zoran Mamdani, he is a rich Nepo baby, cosplaying as a socialist, a democratic socialist. Now, of course, he has all the privilege in the world to want to give money away to everyone else, because it's not his money, it's the government's money. Right? But here's a video of him saying he always had money and he always had his parents to fall back on. Must be nice.
Sean Farish
I worked until January, and then I took time away from my job, and one of the major reasons I could do so was because I knew that if I ran out of my savings, my family would be able to support me.
Haley Caronia
Must be nice. I don't have that kind of luxury. Do you?
Sean Farish
No, no, don't have that kind of. You know, it's funny, the stuff that you described, by the way, in New York City, when people in Tennessee asked me, what brought you to Tennessee? I said, new York brought me to Tennessee. That's my response. And they go, oh, good answer. Good answer. This guy is so dangerous. And. And it's. It's crazy because I'm not sure when you left New York, but I was there during COVID Were you in New.
Haley Caronia
York during COVID Yeah, I moved to. I moved to Nashville in late 2021.
Sean Farish
Okay. So my wife and I moved in early 2023. But we experienced. You and I experienced Cuomo during COVID and that was brutal. Okay. It is unbelievable that in this seat. All right, today, that I can, without lying, say that Andrew Cuomo is a better alternative than somebody else running for the mayor of New York City. Right. That I can actually say that with full confidence as much as. And I'm telling you, we had protests at his house. We had. We brought him a birthday cake on his birthday.
Haley Caronia
We.
Sean Farish
We did. We trolled him on national television. He hated us.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
It was really, really bad.
Haley Caronia
I think I met you. I met you for the first time at a. A rally right outside of Cuomo's house. I think that's when. Yeah, that's when we met.
Sean Farish
So, I mean, that was stuff that we had been. And it was. It was just. He didn't like me. I didn't like him. I still don't like him. The fact that he is. Is a better choice than somebody else. He, in this race, is astounding. But I'll tell you what I think he's doing, because this is how Andrew Cuomo works. And I'm going to make a little prediction, right? Not that this is going to happen. However, if it does, this is why? Cuomo is running as an independent and he's trying to get Adams and Sliwa to sign on to this unity pledge. He has this idea, okay, Andrew Cuomo. If independents were allowed to vote in New York City primaries, Andrew Cuomo would have won.
Unnamed Producer
Okay?
Sean Farish
The independents in New York City don't want Zoran Mamdani.
Haley Caronia
Right.
Sean Farish
And they will coalesce behind a more moderate Democrat candidate. They're not going to vote for Curtis Sliwa as much as, you know, great. What he did for New York City.
Haley Caronia
Right.
Sean Farish
You know, what he did for New York City was amazing. But a lot of people's view, unfortunately, unfairly view Curtis Sliwa as more of a caricature than an actual politician, which nothing wrong with Curtis. I like Curtis, but that's just how people see him, right? Adams is done. We all know Adams is done. So Cuomo asked about this unity pledge and basically said, if whoever's leading in the polls by mid September will basically be the sole opponent to Zoran Mamdani. Okay. And what I think Cuomo is banking on is those independents. He obviously has courted a lot of the Jewish vote in New York City, spent a lot of time. It's really the only campaign that he ran for mayor was in Jewish sectors of. Of New York City to shore up, you know, these, these Jewish communities that have been affected by all the, you know, anti Israel protests that have gone on at these colleges and all over the place. I think he's got that locked down. He's obviously got Italians locked down. He'll get. He'll get independence. And if he's the sole opponent to Zoran in November, he may win. And if he does, he will govern in New York City as, as somewhat of a moderate. I believe he's going to empower. Despite the fact that Andrew Cuomo is the guy who put cashless bail into effect in New York. He will give the police a little bit more power. He will try and make New York City safer, because then he can come out in about five or six years and say, look at me, I saved New York City. And, oh, it's 2032 and I'm running for president, Right? That's what Andrew Cuomo wants to do. He wants to use this race as a way to kickstart some momentum and build that political bank account and accumulate some political capital to run for president in seven years. And if he does win the mayor's race, you can take it to the bank. He's going to run for president in 2032.
Haley Caronia
Wow. This is a good. This is a good prediction, I will say. And Cuomo is trying to revamp his image. Here is a video that he put out on his own social media trying to jump the car of a paid actor. Watch this. There's Andrew Cuomo. He's got his jumper cables out. He's just being a good guy. So phony man of the people. There just so happen to be cameras, Sean, to catch Andrew Cuomo being such, like a macho man and a good guy.
Sean Farish
What are you talking about? Every time my car battery dies, I always record whoever jumps it. I don't know. I've had it happen. If I'm always like, wait, wait, wait, wait. We have to document this. I mean, come on. This is. But this is peak Andrew Cuomo. And I'm telling you, you mentioned he's. He's trying to revamp his image.
Andy
Why? Why?
Sean Farish
To just be the mayor of New York City. Well, he wants to do something that his father, Mario never could do, which was be the mayor of New York City. Mario always wanted to do it. Couldn't get it done. Right. So he would have followed in his father's footsteps as governor and then followed in and eclipsed, essentially, and gone past and overachieved, not achieved his father as mayor of New York City. So that would have been something to kind of keep it in the Cuomo family.
Unnamed Producer
Okay?
Sean Farish
He was the mayor. This guy is revamping his image because he wants to run for president. During COVID all you saw and all you heard was was that, oh, the love gov, right? Andrew Cuomo. Those press conferences, those horrible long. He's the slowest talking New Yorker I've ever heard in my life.
Haley Caronia
And it's Italian, right? We talk Italian.
Sean Farish
And then he said, like, that he wasn't, you know, because he was very. You know, he did the hands and the hugging and the kids. I'm not perverted. I'm a tight. Would you stop? My mother's Italian. I'm a tight. No, none of us get too handy, okay? Like, just stop it.
Andy
Right?
Sean Farish
This guy who took a year and a day during those press conferences to get through a cent. We're closing the schools. He took forever. Speak.
Andy
Right.
Sean Farish
This guy is revamping his image because he wants to run for president. He wants to get back into the spotlight where everybody fawned over him because there's nothing that narcissist craves more than all that positive attention.
Andy
He wants to run.
Sean Farish
It's not going to be in 28 if he wins. If he wins the mayor's race when he's sworn in in 26, I think he goes four years, gets reelected, New York City starts to trend back towards a favorable place. And again, I really think his goal here is to use the New York City mayor's race as a catapult. By 2032, people aren't even going to remember the sexual assault stuff. Okay. And the. Forget it. The nursing home scandal that he's never going to be held accountable. Accountable for is going to be something that it's going to be even hard to find on Google at that point. You know, going into that. So, again, he's revamping his image, not just to be the best, to be a mayor of New York City. I think he's doing it to run for president.
Haley Caronia
Well, your Cuomo impersonation is good, but your Trump one is better. So I want to give you, if you don't mind, we're going to head into a more fun section of the show. I want you to, if you can, do some Trump impersonations on the spot. If I give you a topic or something to go off of, can you. Can you give us something?
Sean Farish
Of course. Yeah.
Haley Caronia
Okay. You're very favorite. Okay. So first I saw this tweet, and do you know what a Labubu is?
Andy
No.
Haley Caronia
A Labubu is. It's like this little. Do you remember troll dolls from When? In the 90s?
Sean Farish
Yes.
Haley Caronia
It's kind of like the revamped version of a troll doll, but New York City influencers are getting them, and they're very expensive, and they're putting them on their designer bags. It's dumb. It's a dumb trend. But everyone's talking about Labubus. And then someone posted this on Twitter. If we could just post this. Someone said, I just want to hear Trump say le boo boo. You know, it'd be the funniest pronunciation of anything ever. So can you give us your version of Trump saying le boo boo?
Unnamed Producer
Well, you look at it, I get along very well with Labubu. Right. Look at the boo boo. And there's a lot of people who have a lot of boo boos right now. You know, Crooked Joe got a boo boo when he fell down the stairs. They call it the triple fall. He fell once, twice, and a third time, he also got a boo boo when he fell on the stage. It was a sandbag. I called it the Ghost of Corn Pop. It took him down, and then he.
Sean Farish
Was at the Vatican and he left.
Unnamed Producer
A boo boo on the floor. We called that One operation Tootsie Roll. You're not supposed to talk about it, but that was more of a doo doo than it was a boo boo. But you look at Labubu, I get along well. I have to say that. I get along very well.
Haley Caronia
So, so good. All right, this next one, you go to McDonald's, you're President Trump, of course they give you a filet o fish. When you ordered a 10 piece chicken nugget, what do you say?
Unnamed Producer
Well, I would say, what the hell is this? First of all, I ordered the McNuggets. And by the way, when we started McDonald's, I got along very well with Ronald McDonald. You know, we were going to found it together. It was going to be called Ron and Don, or they were just going to call it Donald's. But I said, no, this is going to be yours. It's McDonald's. But I want the McNuggets. You know, I came up with the idea for the McNugget. I invented the McNugget, and we did a tremendous job together. But they gave me a filet of fish. We're going to say, this order is wrong. We don't want the filet of fish. We want the 10 piece McNugget. We actually want a 20 piece McNugget because Rosie O' Donnell is taking along and she eats a lot. I could tell you that.
Haley Caronia
Incredible. Incredible. All right. President Trump had a very viral tweet from, I don't even know when, 2012, when he said he's never seen a thin person drink Diet Coke. So what would be President Trump's reaction to finally seeing a thin person drink Diet Coke?
Unnamed Producer
Well, you know, I drink Diet Coke a lot, right? I have a Diet Coke button on the, on the desk. A lot of people thought I was calling myself huge, but there's an exception to every rule. You know, I got along very well with Zeus and Apollo. These are Greek gods. And they said to me, sir, what is your secret? You look incredible. I said, I play a lot of.
Sean Farish
Golf, I eat a lot of McDonald's.
Unnamed Producer
The Big Macs are out of control. The Diet Coke, no calories, right? No calories. And so I put Zeus and I put Apollo and I put Neptune. Got along well with Neptune. I put them on my plan and they look great. But everybody else who I see drinking a Diet Coke is huge. They're slobs. They look like Chris Christie or Stacey Abrams, right? Who? You know, I used to call her the Beast of the Southeast, but now we call her because she's a bunker buster. 30,000 pound bunker buster. And we dropped her on Iran with that gap between her teeth she was whistling all the way down. Now we call her the Beast of the Middle east. So. But. And she drinks a lot of Diet Coke, among other things. But no thin people drink Diet Coke. Except yours truly. And I happen to be in phenomenal shape. I can tell you that.
