Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show. I
Speaker 1: am Jeffrey Lord of the American Spectator or Newsmax and
Speaker 1: all over the place the Word of the Lord Podcast.
Speaker 1: We can't forget that, and I am sitting in for
Speaker 1: Sean as we wind down the year. You can call
Speaker 1: in at eight hundred and nine four one, seven, three
Speaker 1: two six or eight hundred and nine four to one Shawn.
Speaker 1: And we now are going to move on to our
Speaker 1: next guest, one, Selena Zito. Hello, Selena, Hey.
Speaker 2: Joff, how are you nice to hear your voice?
Speaker 1: I am, I am fine. Let me just tell our audience.
Speaker 1: Selena is a I'm biased is a terrific journalist who
Speaker 1: joined The Washington Examiner in twenty sixteen as a Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: based columnist and reporter covering national politics and culture from
Speaker 1: a perspective outside the Beltway. She is the author of Butler,
Speaker 1: The Untold Story of the near Assassin of Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and the Fight for America's Heartland and the Great Revolt.
Speaker 1: She began her career at the Pittsburgh Tribune Review as
Speaker 1: a reporter and columnist covering national politics, and she has
Speaker 1: been a contributor at The New York Post and The
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, and is currently contributor at the Washington Post. So, Selena,
Speaker 1: it is great to talk to you.
Speaker 2: Well, right back at Jeff, thank you so much. I
Speaker 2: hope you had a very very Christmas.
Speaker 1: I did, indeed, I did, indeed, And now it's on
Speaker 1: to twenty six, which is exactly where I wanted to
Speaker 1: start with you. Let's start out with your thoughts on
Speaker 1: twenty six, both in terms of what's going to be
Speaker 1: happening in Pennsylvania politically and then anywhere else in the
Speaker 1: country that you have found of interest.
Speaker 2: Well, as most people know, a mid term election for
Speaker 2: the party in power traditionally but not always tends to
Speaker 2: benefit the opposing party. But we're in very different times,
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't place a bet on that there. You know,
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of sort of speculation because of
Speaker 2: what happened in Virginia, New Jersey, but what happened in
Speaker 2: Virginia in New Jersey is exactly what always happens, and
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't use that as a as a stepping
Speaker 2: stone to say, well, this means this, or that we're
Speaker 2: in very sort of turbulent times, not just in our politics,
Speaker 2: but also in how this country is changing in terms
Speaker 2: of our economy. We are going through a version of
Speaker 2: the Industrial Revolution, only this time it centers on tech.
Speaker 2: And so with that turbulence becomes unpredictability in American politics. Now, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 2: as always will be the center of a ten. We
Speaker 2: have a governor's race between Democrats Josh Shapiro and Republican
Speaker 2: Stacy Garrity. This, uh, well just will be a very
Speaker 2: different matchup than the one between Shapiro and Mastriano. And
Speaker 2: and so I would look to this to be competitive.
Speaker 2: But Shapiro has done a very good job of earning
Speaker 2: Trump voters in the last election cycle, So I wouldn't
Speaker 2: I would be cautious to think that this is something
Speaker 2: that would be easily won by a Republican. Shapiro does
Speaker 2: a very good job of having a moderating voice. And
Speaker 2: so we also have I would say three competitive races
Speaker 2: in the House and the and and for Congress, and
Speaker 2: also for this for the State House and the State Senate.
Speaker 2: Both parties are being be pushing to get the majority
Speaker 2: in those in those in those legislative bodies.
Speaker 1: How much do you think the governor Shapiro's eye on
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight will affect what happens with him in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: I think what Shapiro wants to do is, obviously, when
Speaker 2: the seat right, he wants to win reelection, but I
Speaker 2: think he also wants to show his muscle and try
Speaker 2: to get a larger majority of the State House. They
Speaker 2: only have it by one seat. That's not a lot
Speaker 2: of power. And I think he wants to also win
Speaker 2: the state the majority in the state Senate, which they
Speaker 2: do not have. I think Republicans have the majority by
Speaker 2: about five or six seats. So that's what he is
Speaker 2: going to be putting his effort into, not just his race,
Speaker 2: but also also show his political chops by saying, hey,
Speaker 2: look what I did. I not only won the governor's race,
Speaker 2: I brought majorities in Now that's what he wants to do.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that that's what's going to happen. Pennsylvanians
Speaker 2: notoriously split their tickets, and I suspect this will over
Speaker 2: year will be no different.
Speaker 1: How do you think you know? One of the things
Speaker 1: when I first when I was a teenager getting involved,
Speaker 1: I was a page not to date myself. I was
Speaker 1: a page at the nineteen sixty eight Republican Convention. I was,
Speaker 1: I think seventeen years old, and I started, you know,
Speaker 1: having conversations with my political elders of the day, and
Speaker 1: one of the things that was explained to me was
Speaker 1: about what Pennsylvanians know as the t and for those
Speaker 1: not from Pennsylvania, basically that means that Democrats would do
Speaker 1: well in the east in Philadelphia, and in the world
Speaker 1: west in Pittsburgh and surrounding counties, and then this huge
Speaker 1: swath of Pennsylvania that goes right up the middle from
Speaker 1: between those two spots and goes right up the middle
Speaker 1: to from the Maryland border to the New York border,
Speaker 1: and then goes left and right all the way over
Speaker 1: to Erie and the right over to Scranton and Wilkesbury.
Speaker 1: How much of a role do you think that that
Speaker 1: sort of formulation is going to play in the governor's race.
Speaker 2: As they go on, Well, not much has changed about
Speaker 2: the Key other than the middle of the Key has
Speaker 2: gotten wider. Uh, you know, there's more there has been
Speaker 2: more power exercised in counties like Luverne and Erie and
Speaker 2: but also Cambria, Beaver Washington, Westmoreland. Back in those days,
Speaker 2: those were still Democrat reliable Democrat counties. That has changed
Speaker 2: over the past two ten years to the point where
Speaker 2: most locally elected offices are now held by Republicans. So
Speaker 2: that has given Republicans more power and more ability to
Speaker 2: win statewide elections. You saw that with President Trump in
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. You saw it more so with President Trump
Speaker 2: in twenty four where he expanded those wins. And you
Speaker 2: also saw it with Dave McCormick. So the power has
Speaker 2: shrunk away from Billy and Pittsburgh and went one point
Speaker 2: where there's those cities and the counties that surrounded them
Speaker 2: determined elections. That's not the case anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, what was I going to say to you
Speaker 1: here about how much do you think President Trump is
Speaker 1: going to affect things in Pennsylvania in in our election,
Speaker 1: whether it's for the governorship or or just in general
Speaker 1: for other candidates lower down on.
Speaker 3: The on the ballot.
Speaker 2: I think that the president is going to be really
Speaker 2: really focused on the congressional races and also on the
Speaker 2: state legislative races. I suspect in our state that's where
Speaker 2: he is where he's going to use his political muscle,
Speaker 2: and and that's where I expect him to to to
Speaker 2: come out and be supportive and do the things that
Speaker 2: those candidates need for them to win.
Speaker 1: And I have to ask, what are your thoughts on
Speaker 1: the state of the Pennsylvania Republican Party and how it
Speaker 1: How it's.
Speaker 2: Doing well, I mean, it has its challenges. I think
Speaker 2: that the state Party should have not focused on the
Speaker 2: Supreme Court races this past November to the extent that
Speaker 2: they did. They were never going to win them. Those
Speaker 2: are races that are hard to win. And also, I think,
Speaker 2: most importantly, because you know, I'm old and I have
Speaker 2: history of historical recollection, in twenty fifteen, Republicans lost those
Speaker 2: state Supreme Court races and everybody thought everything was over
Speaker 2: for the Republican Party and then look what happened in
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. So I'm really reluctant to believe what happened
Speaker 2: this past November with those state Supreme Court races matters.
Speaker 2: They should have focused more on local elections because that's
Speaker 2: what meaning you know, row offices and counties like Bucks
Speaker 2: and Eerie and Westmoreland. I think that's where that's where
Speaker 2: the state Party is most muscular, and they should take
Speaker 2: advantage of what they're best at doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think I'm curious what you think about
Speaker 1: the state of industry in Pennsylvania. I mean, once upon
Speaker 1: a time it was all steel and coal, and now
Speaker 1: I think there are other things coming to the fore
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, twenty first century technology and all that kind
Speaker 1: of thing. What are your thoughts on that as to
Speaker 1: how we're doing, how the state is doing with that
Speaker 1: kind of thing and changes that may lie ahead or
Speaker 1: are already in progress.
Speaker 2: Well, thanks to President Trump, the steel industry is going
Speaker 2: to be booming. It already is. They've been hiring at
Speaker 2: a robust clip because of the deal between Nippon and
Speaker 2: US Steel. So as the steel manufacturing is only going
Speaker 2: to get bigger and better in our state. And coal
Speaker 2: is also on the rebound in the state in particular
Speaker 2: because of the most important emerging industry in our state,
Speaker 2: which is the AI data power centers. Now, while they
Speaker 2: don't typically employ a lot of people, the data are
Speaker 2: power centers themselves to build them and maintain them does
Speaker 2: and we have rich abundant energy in coal and natural
Speaker 2: gas to build the facilities and energy components needed to
Speaker 2: supply the energy to those data power centers. So we're
Speaker 2: going through a boom right now in our state, and
Speaker 2: we are for the at least the next ten years.
Speaker 2: We've got hundreds of billions of dollars of investment, not
Speaker 2: only in western Pennsylvania, but also in Luzerne and other counties.
Speaker 2: There's going to be one upcoming in Green County where
Speaker 2: you are going to see and also Indiana County where
Speaker 2: you were going to see a sturge of hiring. It's
Speaker 2: already started and you're going to see these little boom
Speaker 2: towns start to form around these jobs.
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's great news because I think that you know,
Speaker 1: I was a little more than a little concerned about
Speaker 1: our state of Pennsylvania, and uh when when I was
Speaker 1: starting out and eventually watching my old boss, Senator John
Speaker 1: Hines working very closely as staff members. We had to
Speaker 1: work on the energy industry, and we also and I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe you can update us on the status
Speaker 1: of what's going on with shipyard construction and I don't know,
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Navy Yard is that's still uh still in
Speaker 1: business as it were.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Senator McCormick and President Trump announced just a few
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago. Yeah, a couple billion dollar investment
Speaker 2: in the shipyards. So in terms of manufacturing, uh and
Speaker 2: blue collar work, you know people that work in the trade, right,
Speaker 2: the biggest challenge is to finding people to fill the jobs.
Speaker 2: Not that the jobs aren't there. There are lots of jobs.
Speaker 1: Well that's that's good to know because when I worked
Speaker 1: for Senator Hines, that was that was one of my
Speaker 1: assignments that he made they would get This was directly
Speaker 1: tied to the Reagan defense build up. And the deal
Speaker 1: was that there were aircraft carriers and battleships that needed
Speaker 1: to be They called it the SLEPT program s l
Speaker 1: e P, which stood for Service Life Extension program and uh,
Speaker 1: it was it was a battle for Senator Hines to
Speaker 1: get others around around the country, Uh, to you know,
Speaker 1: come pete against them and win so that we would
Speaker 1: get those ships into the Philadelphia Navy Yard. And a
Speaker 1: lot of times it happened, but sometimes it didn't happen,
Speaker 1: and UH, that's a that's a problem. Well, my friend,
Speaker 1: it was great to talk to you. We will doubtless
Speaker 1: be seeing you talking to you again. Have a great
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, And I would just remind our audience
Speaker 1: our numbers eight hundred nine four one seven, three two six,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four to one Sean, and we'll
Speaker 1: be back very shortly. All right, this is Jeffrey Lord
Speaker 1: sitting in for our friend Sean Hannity, and let me
Speaker 1: give out our number here, Sean's number eight hundred and
Speaker 1: nine four one seven, three two six and eight hundred
Speaker 1: and nine forour to one Sean, and you are welcome
Speaker 1: to call in and check in and see what's going on.
Speaker 1: We're going to have a good guest coming up with
Speaker 1: our friend Jeff Bardos, who was very involved in Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: and UH is now also moved to the international stage
Speaker 1: at the UN, and we're going to want to talk
Speaker 1: to him a little bit about that. The UN is
Speaker 1: always as long as I've been around in life, it's
Speaker 1: always been a source of of of conversations with various
Speaker 1: ambassadors from the United States making a case eloquently for
Speaker 1: the United States and sometimes UH scolding others and all
Speaker 1: of that. It's always very interesting and very interesting atmosphere.
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to talk to UH to Jeff
Speaker 1: about that. And after that, I think, UH, we'll just uh,
Speaker 1: we'll see what's going on here. We do have news
Speaker 1: coming out with Prime Minister net and Yahoo and President Trump,
Speaker 1: and uh, we'll we'll see what that has going on
Speaker 1: for it. So we will be back very shortly.
Speaker 4: Breaking news straight from the source. This is the Sean
Speaker 4: Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: All right, this is Jeffrey Lord sitting in for our
Speaker 1: friend Sean Hannity. Welcome to Shawn's radio show, and you
Speaker 1: can reach us at eight hundred and nine four one
Speaker 1: seven three two six or eight hundred and nine four
Speaker 1: one sewn. So we're going to play a little We're
Speaker 1: gonna dip into this press conference that was just held
Speaker 1: President Trump and President Prime Minister net and Yahoo and
Speaker 1: actually I think some of it may even still be
Speaker 1: going on, but there's a lot of stuff happening here.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know what President Trump has managed to
Speaker 1: accomplish in the Middle East with the various countries and
Speaker 1: getting peace agreements and all of this kind of thing, uh,
Speaker 1: I think has been astonishing, and getting Israel and some
Speaker 1: of Arab countries to work together. Jared Kushner has been
Speaker 1: out there working very hard on all this. So we're
Speaker 1: going to just play a little bit here for you
Speaker 1: to sort of get the flavor of what's going on.
Speaker 5: Can you clarify to us, did you talk about what
Speaker 5: are you talking about.
Speaker 6: With the president?
Speaker 5: There's really President Hartok. Did you talk with him directly?
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh, we like you got to say that. No,
Speaker 7: I think he's going to be in great shape. He's
Speaker 7: a wartime prime minister at the highest level. He's achieved
Speaker 7: tremendous success. And I'll say it. You know, if you
Speaker 7: had eight out of ten prime ministers in his position
Speaker 7: right now or before right now, maybe you wouldn't have
Speaker 7: Israel any longer.
Speaker 3: Israel would not exist.
Speaker 7: I'd say two of them would in eight of them
Speaker 7: would that. Those are not good odds. You needed a
Speaker 7: very special man to really carry through and really help
Speaker 7: Israel through this horrible jam. You know, these are major factions,
Speaker 7: and it started with our negotiation with Iran.
Speaker 3: I think it probably started with Solomony.
Speaker 7: That was really where you mentioned that today, which started
Speaker 7: with Solomoni bad guy doing bad things, hurting a lot
Speaker 7: of people, killing American soldiers and other soldiers. But it
Speaker 7: started right there would probably be the starting point, and
Speaker 7: then from that point forward, but you would you have
Speaker 7: a wartime prime minister at the highest level. There could
Speaker 7: be other wartime prime ministers, but that'd lose. He won,
Speaker 7: and I think the people of Israel appreciated. I think
Speaker 7: a lot of the people in the world appreciated, actually,
Speaker 7: and because of that victory, we were able to get
Speaker 7: peace in the Middle East. If you had a different
Speaker 7: kind of a personality, if you had a weak person
Speaker 7: or a stupid person, and there are plenty of both
Speaker 7: of them, you would not have had success, and you
Speaker 7: might not have Israel. And you report for Israel, I
Speaker 7: know you're very proud of it, and you do a
Speaker 7: great job. You might not have a job because they
Speaker 7: might not be an Israel right now if you had
Speaker 7: a different prime minister. That's a big statement. But to me,
Speaker 7: it's a very simple statement to make. I'm looking at
Speaker 7: Pete Hegseth and he's sort of nodding. If they don't
Speaker 7: have a strong prime minister, Pete, you might not have
Speaker 7: Israel today.
Speaker 3: I think you'll go down in the record books.
Speaker 7: And you know I was a big help. I'll be honest,
Speaker 7: with big, big help. Somebody may sit in the room.
Speaker 7: If you don't have Trump, you needed a proper combination
Speaker 7: of everything. And if you didn't have that combination, which
Speaker 7: they had, you would not have an existing Israel right now.
Speaker 3: And the people of Israel know it.
Speaker 7: That's why they like me, and that's why they really
Speaker 7: they actually like him. He's got a little bit of
Speaker 7: a love hate more than I do over there. But
Speaker 7: you know what, even the haters have a lot of
Speaker 7: respect for him. There's a lot of jealousy about him,
Speaker 7: a lot of jealousy. Jealousy is a bad word. But
Speaker 7: I believe you would not have Israel right now. So
Speaker 7: it's a big deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Please.
Speaker 8: A recent Paul showed that as many of as half
Speaker 8: of Gosens would be willing to leave the gods of
Speaker 8: strip of afforded the opportunity to do so.
Speaker 1: Back in February, you said that all Godsens.
Speaker 3: I heard the numbers to the half of Gaza would leave.
Speaker 3: I've always said it.
Speaker 7: I said, if you were given the opportunity to live
Speaker 7: in a better climate.
Speaker 3: They would move.
Speaker 7: They're there because they sort of have to be. I
Speaker 7: think it would be I think it would be a
Speaker 7: great opportunity. But let's see if that opportunity presents itself.
Speaker 7: But we're helping the people of Gaza a lot, so
Speaker 7: is Israel, by the way, So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 7: But I saw that it was a poll. It was
Speaker 7: actually more than half the people would leave if they
Speaker 7: were given the opportunity. And I've been saying that for
Speaker 7: a long time. It was to me it was common sense.
Speaker 7: So it's interesting.
Speaker 8: I wouldn't countries accept them.
Speaker 7: Look, let's not talk about it because we don't want
Speaker 7: the controversy.
Speaker 3: Right now, we're helping guys.
Speaker 7: But if they were given the opportunity, I think even
Speaker 7: higher than that. The person the group that did the
Speaker 7: poll is usually I call them negative pulses. You have
Speaker 7: a lot of them, and yet this poll was I
Speaker 7: think very accurate. Other than it would be more than
Speaker 7: half the people if given the opportunity. But they haven't
Speaker 7: been given that opportunity. So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 6: Have you reach a point of understanding regarding Syria?
Speaker 3: We do have.
Speaker 7: An understanding regarding Syria. Now with Syria, you know you're
Speaker 7: new president. I respect him. He's a very strong guy,
Speaker 7: and that's what you need in Syria. You can't put
Speaker 7: a choir boy, can't put you know, somebody that's a
Speaker 7: perfect person. Everything's nice, no problems in life. You have
Speaker 7: the opposite there. He's a strong guy. We get along
Speaker 7: with him great. I can't ask for anymore. He's been
Speaker 7: with us all the way. We had that misap with Isis,
Speaker 7: and he was with us all the way. He was
Speaker 7: fighting us, you know, he was fighting them. So I
Speaker 7: hope Israel. I'm sure that Israel and him will get along.
Speaker 7: I will try and make it so that they do
Speaker 7: get along.
Speaker 3: I think they will. Maybe Do you have anything to
Speaker 3: say about that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, our interest is to have a peaceful border
Speaker 9: with Sarah. Our interest is to have and we openly said,
Speaker 9: we want to make sure that the border area right
Speaker 9: next to our border is safe. We don't have terrorists,
Speaker 9: we don't have attacks, and we also want to secure
Speaker 9: our Jews friends. And by the way, I think not
Speaker 9: only the Jews, but other mind artists, especially the Christians,
Speaker 9: should be protected as well in Syria and throughout the
Speaker 9: Middle East and in Nigeria. When your efforts we back
Speaker 9: completely because Christian communities are beleaguered around the world and
Speaker 9: especially in the Middle East, but in parts of Africa too,
Speaker 9: and we stand for the same thing.
Speaker 7: And don't forget it was President Erdawan that helped very
Speaker 7: much get rid of a very bad ruler of Syria.
Speaker 3: That was President Dawe.
Speaker 7: And he never wanted the credit for it, but he
Speaker 7: really gets a lot of credit.
Speaker 3: Bbe agrees with that. I agree with.
Speaker 7: I mean, I know it, and President one should get
Speaker 7: a lot of good credit for what he did. He
Speaker 7: get rid of some very bad people, and you know
Speaker 7: they've been wanting to do that for a thousand years
Speaker 7: with different names, but for a thousand years in Syria,
Speaker 7: President Erdwan did it, and we give him a lot
Speaker 7: of credit.
Speaker 3: I give him a lot of credit.
Speaker 7: But I think it's going to work out well between
Speaker 7: Syria and Israel.
Speaker 10: About about Lebanon, the Lebanese government, so what we saw
Speaker 10: is not meeting the terms of the ceasefire agreement, has
Speaker 10: failed to disarmed.
Speaker 8: Chrisbala, Actually, in your view, should.
Speaker 10: Israel strike the tourist organization again.
Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna see about that. We'll see about it. Uh.
Speaker 7: The Lebanese government is a little bit of a disadvantage
Speaker 7: if you think of it, with Hesbela, but Hesbela has
Speaker 7: been behaving badly, so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 6: Also, we do another operation of Israel in Iran. You
Speaker 6: said before the meeting with Nataniel that you are in
Speaker 6: support of Israel if the ballistic missile project will take on,
Speaker 6: and also the nuclear weapon. But after the meeting, after
Speaker 6: what you know from the intelligence? How close a week
Speaker 6: to another with the one?
Speaker 7: Well, I don't want to say that, but a run
Speaker 7: maybe behaving badly. It hasn't been confirmed, but if it's confirmed, Look,
Speaker 7: they know the consequences. You know, consequences will be very powerful,
Speaker 7: maybe more powerful than the last time. Yeah, and a
Speaker 7: Rand should have made a deal. The last time I
Speaker 7: gave them the option. I said, you can make a deal,
Speaker 7: do it. I told them do it, and they didn't
Speaker 7: believe me. Now they believe me.
Speaker 3: You evid is behaving badly? And what do you mean?
Speaker 3: This is just what we hear. But usually where there's smoke,
Speaker 3: there's fire.
Speaker 7: Have you heard the expression what do you mean related
Speaker 7: to the nuclear caple? No, I'm hearing that they're not
Speaker 7: nuclear yet, but maybe nuclear too. The sites were obliterated,
Speaker 7: but they're looking at other sites, That's what I've heard.
Speaker 3: They're looking. So it'll take a long time.
Speaker 7: They're not going to go back to where they were,
Speaker 7: but they have other places they can go. And if
Speaker 7: they're doing that, they're making a big mistake. Yeah, there's
Speaker 7: no reason for them to do it.
Speaker 8: Mister President, Is the United States currently UH open to
Speaker 8: engaging in bilateral discussions with Turan? We're hearing reports from
Speaker 8: numerous countries that there may be some discussions. Is that
Speaker 8: something you would support or something that I would support that?
Speaker 7: I would Yes, I have been by the way before
Speaker 7: the war.
Speaker 3: I would support that.
Speaker 7: I said to him, maybe I said, let's negotiate and
Speaker 7: they didn't believe what was going to happen would happen.
Speaker 3: Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 5: China's been doing naval exercises basically to test encircling Taiwan.
Speaker 2: Can you explain to us what your knowledge is of that?
Speaker 2: What do you think about that?
Speaker 5: Have you had any discussions with Well.
Speaker 7: I have a great relationship with Presidency and he hasn't
Speaker 7: told me anything about it. I certainly have seen it,
Speaker 7: but he hasn't told me anything about it. And I
Speaker 7: don't believe he's going to be doing it. No, nothing
Speaker 7: worries me.
Speaker 3: Nothing.
Speaker 5: There's fire, right, So if you're in circle, if you're
Speaker 5: doing naval exercises and air exercises.
Speaker 7: Doing naval exercises for twenty years in that area. Now
Speaker 7: people take it a little bit differently, but in fact
Speaker 7: larger than they're doing right now.
Speaker 3: So we'll see. But they've been doing that for twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five years.
Speaker 8: Yeah, as president, if you don't see Amos disarm in
Speaker 8: that short amount of time they're giving them, can you
Speaker 8: tell us what the next steps would be?
Speaker 7: Horrible for them, horrible, gonna be really really bad for them,
Speaker 7: And I don't want that to happen. But they made
Speaker 7: an agreement that they were going to disarm, and you
Speaker 7: couldn't blame Israel. By the way, we have other countries
Speaker 7: that will come in and do it. They said, let
Speaker 7: us do it for you if they don't. Countries that
Speaker 7: were with them wanted the deal to be made, agreed
Speaker 7: that they would disarm. And now if they say they're
Speaker 7: going to disarm, that's fine. If they say they're not
Speaker 7: going to disarm, those same countries will go and wipe
Speaker 7: them out.
Speaker 3: They don't even need Israel.
Speaker 7: You know, we have many countries, fifty nine countries that
Speaker 7: already agree this is a real peace in the Middle East,
Speaker 7: and Hamas is a small part of it, but it's
Speaker 7: still a part of it. But we have fifty nine
Speaker 7: countries that signed on big countries, countries that are outside
Speaker 7: of the Middle East, as you know, the Middle East.
Speaker 7: They want to go in and wipe out Hamas. They
Speaker 7: don't want Israel, they don't need Israel. They want to
Speaker 7: do it because it's the right thing to do, because
Speaker 7: they were for the deal based on the fact that
Speaker 7: Hamas pledged, they swore that they were going to disarm.
Speaker 7: Now if they're not going to disarm, those same countries
Speaker 7: will wipe out Hamas.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Do you think that the PA should be involved in
Speaker 5: the day after? In data strip even in the near future,
Speaker 5: and the same person enter Prime Minister Nathaniel, do you
Speaker 5: see a real opportunity that the PA will be in Ghaza?
Speaker 3: Go ahead?
Speaker 9: I think President Trump put clearly the conditions that of
Speaker 9: reform that he wants to see in the PA for
Speaker 9: them to be involved. And I think he put it
Speaker 9: very clearly what he wants to see, the kind of
Speaker 9: real reforms, not just perfunctory reforms, but real reforms. Stop
Speaker 9: paid the sleigh, change the curriculum in your textbooks, open up,
Speaker 9: you know, a different society and a different future if
Speaker 9: they do it, well, you know, let them, you know,
Speaker 9: I think it was clear you put you put guidelines
Speaker 9: that were, by the way, the Trump Plan of two
Speaker 9: thousand and twenty, and they were put then in the
Speaker 9: twenty points. And it's up to them.
Speaker 3: Remember this.
Speaker 7: If we didn't do what we did to Iran just
Speaker 7: to make these subjects just slightly different, you wouldn't have
Speaker 7: peace to the Middleast. You wouldn't have a deal signed
Speaker 7: in the Middle East. You wouldn't have a deal because
Speaker 7: other Arab nations, which are great, great, great people.
Speaker 3: I know them very well. I know them. They're great people.
Speaker 7: They wouldn't be able to have agreed to peace of
Speaker 7: the Middleast because you would have had a dark cloud
Speaker 7: hanging over everything.
Speaker 3: It wouldn't it wouldn't have been possible.
Speaker 7: So Iran has been greatly reduced in power prestige. I
Speaker 7: don't want to use the word humiliation, because you know
Speaker 7: they're trying to build up again. But we can't let
Speaker 7: them build up because if they build up, they can't
Speaker 7: be peace in the Middle East.
Speaker 3: It was a mistake, you know, when they wiped out Iraq.
Speaker 7: Iraq and Iran were about the same power, and they
Speaker 7: fought each other with different names for a thousand years,
Speaker 7: and then our country came out and blew up one
Speaker 7: of those two countries, namely Iraq, and all of a
Speaker 7: sudden Iran had the.
Speaker 3: But that's not true anymore. That's not true anymore.

Speaker 1: friend Sean Hannity, and we can be found at eight
Speaker 1: hundred nine four one seven three two six or eight
