SEAN HANNITY SHOW

ISIS in America?
There was a shooting in Garland, TX over the weekend outside an event featuring the prophet Muhammad.

A "draw Muhammad" art contest ended in horror as two gunmen opened fire on a security guard at the Curtis Culwell Center. The security guard has since been released from the hospital. Both gunmen are dead, shot by police.

One of the suspects has been identified as Elton Simpson. According to the UK Daily Mail, Simpson was identified in court papers as an American Muslim and was the previous suspect of an FBI terrorism investigation. He had told an FBI informant that democracy was threatening the Muslim way of life and "We going to fight you to the death." FBI agents and the bomb squad are searching Simpson's apartment in Arizona, including computer records.

A half hour before the terrorist attack, Simpson tweeted his pledge of loyalty to the head of ISIS. It read: "The bro with me and myself have given bay'ah to Amirul Mu'mineen. May Allah accept us as mujahideen. Make dua #texasattack."

Those pledging allegiance to ISIS have officially managed to pull off an attack in the United States. What will our president do, now that ISIS has reached our soil?
  
GOP Field Widens
The field Republican candidates seeking the GOP nomination for president continues to grow. Here's the latest on who has jumped into the race.

Dr. Ben Carson told a local TV station over the weekend that he is running for president, with a formal announcement today in Detroit. Carson pointed out that he's not sure "politics as usual is going to save us." If you will recall, Carson is a world-renown neurosurgeon who recently retired from his position as the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. In 2013, Carson delivered a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, which included President Obama, in which he did not hold back about political correctness and the pitfalls of ObamaCare.

Carly Fiorina announced this morning that she is running for president. She told ABC's Good Morning America, "I think I'm the best person for the job because I understand how the economy actually works. I understand the world, who's in it, how the world works. I understand bureaucracies, and that's what our federal government has become, a giant bloated unaccountable corrupt bureaucracy." Fiorina was the CEO of technology giant Hewlett-Packard from 1999 to 2005. She has been vocal about Hillary Clinton, and today's announcement was no exception. Fiorina told GMA that Hillary is clearly not trustworthy. A video posted on her campaign website features Hillary's announcement video before Fiorina turns it off and says that "America's founders never intended for us to have a professional political class."

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is also running for president; he is expected to announce tomorrow. Huckabee was Arkansas' governor from 1996 to 2007 until running for president in 2008. Because of his time as governor in Arkansas, perhaps more so than most, Huckabee understands how to battle against the Clinton machine. Having also sought the nomination once before, and done quite well, Huckabee is familiar with what it takes to run for the office.

Carson, Fiorina and Huckabee join Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, who have already declared their candidacies. Amazingly, the GOP field still has even more viable candidates who have yet to announcement.

The depth of the GOP bench is inspiring. Let's hope that they bring energy and new ideas to the American people in an inspired way that gives people a reason to show up to the polls in November 2016.

I will continue to provide all of the candidates the chance to speak directly to my radio and TV audience. This will hopefully help you to make an informed decision as to who you feel would make the best candidate in this crucial election.
