Speaker 1: Our two Sean Hannity Show toll free. It is eight
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one Shawn, if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Obviously, this is the
Speaker 1: most important midterm election year that I think we'll see
Speaker 1: in our lifetime. Either President Trump and Republicans win or
Speaker 1: all progress stops and investigations and impeachments take over. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's going to be your choice. And I hope all
Speaker 1: of you will make a commitment in your mind and
Speaker 1: heart and soul that you're going to vote in November.
Speaker 1: It's not a lot to ask, you know what. I
Speaker 1: want this country to continue to progress. But anyway, I
Speaker 1: had a chance yesterday to travel to DC and sit
Speaker 1: with President Trump. I sat with him for a long time,
Speaker 1: both on air and off air, and we talked about
Speaker 1: a lot of things. There's a lot happening in the world,
Speaker 1: from Venezuela and Cuba and Iran and Russia. You know,
Speaker 1: we basically skipped around the globe. We talked about the economy.
Speaker 1: Here is that interview.
Speaker 2: There's really not much in the news, so there's not
Speaker 2: a real lot to talk about. But start with Veniceituela
Speaker 2: narco terrorist indicted guy that we're losing two Unite Americans
Speaker 2: a day to drugs. Yeah, walk us through this decision
Speaker 2: in Venezuela.
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't a hard decision.
Speaker 4: Democrats wanted them and Republicans wanted them, and nobody had
Speaker 4: what it takes to get him or didn't want to
Speaker 4: get him.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Something happened, but he killed a lot of people. He
Speaker 4: sent a lot of bad people into our country, who
Speaker 4: emptied his prisons into the United States. He emptied his
Speaker 4: mental institutions and insane as adams.
Speaker 3: Into the United States and did a lot of very
Speaker 3: bad things. But he was a big drug pushy.
Speaker 4: You see that because all the boats that we shot down,
Speaker 4: they came out of Venezuela a lot of drugs. There's
Speaker 4: a lot of boats and a lot of drugs. Are
Speaker 4: very few boats operating right.
Speaker 3: Now, so there's no boats. You can't find any boats.
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone would go fishing on there.
Speaker 4: Not a lot of people want to go fishing anymore.
Speaker 4: But we've knocked out ninety seven percent of the drugs
Speaker 4: coming in by water, and we are going to start
Speaker 4: now hitting the land. With regard to the cartels, the
Speaker 4: cartels are running Mexico. It's very, very sad to watch
Speaker 4: and see what's happened to that country. But the cartels
Speaker 4: are running, and they're killing two hundred and fifty three
Speaker 4: hundred thousand people in our country every single year. The drugs.
Speaker 4: It's horrible. It's devastated. Families lose a child or a parent.
Speaker 4: I mean, parents are dying too with drugs. So we've
Speaker 4: done a really good job. We're knocking it down. The
Speaker 4: numbers are really getting to be They're always going to
Speaker 4: be too high if you have one person, but they're
Speaker 4: going down.
Speaker 3: Just like the border.
Speaker 4: The border was a total mess for years. I did
Speaker 4: it the first time very quickly, and this time I
Speaker 4: did it even better because this was a bigger mess.
Speaker 3: This was a border like no other, probably in the
Speaker 3: history of the world.
Speaker 4: There's never been a border like that when anybody could
Speaker 4: just walk into your country.
Speaker 2: Borders ostensibly really closed.
Speaker 4: Now close, you can't come in, and nobody comes, nobody
Speaker 4: even tries. And the people in Texas, Arizona, all these
Speaker 4: places that are won by such big numbers, they are
Speaker 4: so happy with the border. They had homes that they
Speaker 4: weren't even able to live in their home.
Speaker 3: Every day.
Speaker 4: People were knocking on their door every hour, and it's
Speaker 4: just a great honor to.
Speaker 3: Be involved with it.
Speaker 4: The Ice and Border Patrol and all of the people
Speaker 4: have been so good. Tom Home and Christine Home. The
Speaker 4: people have done such an incredible job. You have no idea.
Speaker 2: You've made a number of profound announcements and then a
Speaker 2: new announcement today.
Speaker 5: Announcement number one was.
Speaker 2: Thirty to fifty million barrels of oil that they will
Speaker 2: be handing over to you, and you will sell it on.
Speaker 5: The market from the market prices.
Speaker 2: That money will be used for the people of Venezuela
Speaker 2: and the people of America. Then they made an announcement
Speaker 2: yesterday that they will buy all of their goods.
Speaker 5: From this country. Today we learn that.
Speaker 2: The holdovers since Maduro's gone, have agreed to free all
Speaker 2: all of the political prisoners.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: It indicates they want peace with Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: To me, how do you interpret it? We asked them
Speaker 4: to do that, and they've been great. They really have been.
Speaker 4: I mean, everything we've wanted they've given us. We went in,
Speaker 4: we took Maduro out. Amazingly that nobody.
Speaker 3: Was killed, We didn't lose a soldier.
Speaker 4: We had some people wounded, but we didn't lose a soldier.
Speaker 4: A couple of very brave helicopter pilots were wounded pretty badly,
Speaker 4: but they're good. They're in good shape, and it was
Speaker 4: an amazing attack. The other side was lost a lot
Speaker 4: of people, unfortunately.
Speaker 3: But you know, this house was in the middle of.
Speaker 4: A fort with thousands of people and soldiers and everything else.
Speaker 4: So we went right into the middle of a fort.
Speaker 4: Who would think he could do that and not lose anybody,
Speaker 4: But they had it planned so beautifully. General Raisin Kane
Speaker 4: and Pete Haikseth were fantastic. Marcu has been doing a
Speaker 4: great job. Vice President. The whole group is it's just
Speaker 4: a fantastic It's a fantastic group.
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about you make these decisions.
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's this case Operation Midnight Hammer.
Speaker 5: In the one case, you're here in the.
Speaker 2: White House in the situation room, you're watching this unfold
Speaker 2: in real time. In this case, you have operationally the
Speaker 2: same thing, a situation room.
Speaker 5: Direct in Palm Beach at Marrow Lago. You make that
Speaker 5: ultimate call.
Speaker 2: You are the commander in chief, right you're watching it
Speaker 2: unfold in real time.
Speaker 4: What is that like, well, I've done it now quite
Speaker 4: a bit. We took out Salamani, which was a big deal.
Speaker 4: I mean a very big deal. At least it was
Speaker 4: very bad. People killed a lot of people. Everybody you
Speaker 4: see just about ninety five percent of the people you
Speaker 4: see walking around without legs, without arms. That was the
Speaker 4: roadside bomb. That was his baby. He loved it. We
Speaker 4: took him out. We took out Al mag Daddy, he's
Speaker 4: the founder of ices. We did Midnight Hammer, which was
Speaker 4: a literate the Iran nuclear threat, and it was a
Speaker 4: total obliteration that, as they found out, there be two
Speaker 4: bombers and the best pilots anywhere in the world. They
Speaker 4: did it at night with no moon, totally dark, and
Speaker 4: every bomb went right down an air shaft into deep
Speaker 4: into a granite mountain.
Speaker 3: It is amazing.
Speaker 4: And we did this and there's similar in a way.
Speaker 4: I don't know this this seems to have gotten the imagination,
Speaker 4: maybe even more than the other ones, but I think
Speaker 4: they're very equal in many ways. But I don't know,
Speaker 4: you know, maybe taking out the nuclear threat from Iran
Speaker 4: it's very important. But in terms of captivating attention, this
Speaker 4: seems to be something that is beyond anything that anybody's seen.
Speaker 2: The operational details, well, the bravery involved.
Speaker 4: You know. I mean to have people coming going into
Speaker 4: an army force with you know, thousands of soldiers, land
Speaker 4: a helicopter right in the middle of it, break down
Speaker 4: a steel door because you know it's a fortified house,
Speaker 4: break down a steel door, run through the hallway shooting,
Speaker 4: and come out ten minutes later with a guy who
Speaker 4: wasn't quite able to get into a safe house.
Speaker 3: You know there's a safe.
Speaker 2: I heard they got to him within three minutes.
Speaker 5: Three minutes.
Speaker 3: It was so fast. I mean, nobody said us in
Speaker 3: it and didn't like it.
Speaker 4: But the safe house wasn't safe because they had blow
Speaker 4: torches that go through steel like it's butter. They didn't
Speaker 4: have to use them, but we, uh, we have.
Speaker 3: These are great people.
Speaker 4: These are really brave people, even coming down those ropes.
Speaker 4: You know, they're coming down ropes off the helicopter and
Speaker 4: they run them. I was thinking to myself, I wonder
Speaker 4: if I could do that, I can have to give
Speaker 4: it a try sometimes, but they do it like it's
Speaker 4: like it's a stairway, like it's a beautiful stairway and
Speaker 4: they're on the ground instantly and they're ready for action.
Speaker 4: Is it brave people. We have the greatest soldiers in
Speaker 4: the world. We have the greatest equipment in the world.
Speaker 4: Nobody can match us, you know, a lot, and I
Speaker 4: rebuilt the entire military during my first tim good thing.
Speaker 4: Biden gave some of it away, a lot of it,
Speaker 4: but not a lot roative to what I bought. But
Speaker 4: he gave a big chunk to Afghanistan, which was just insane.
Speaker 4: That was one of the most embarrassing moments in the
Speaker 4: history of our country.
Speaker 3: This was the opposite.
Speaker 4: This was a total you know, if you think about
Speaker 4: Jimmy Carter with the hostages, or you think about the
Speaker 4: Afghanistan disaster that we had not so long ago with Biden,
Speaker 4: where it was just mass confusion and the death of
Speaker 4: thirteen great soldiers who I got to know. I got
Speaker 4: to know the families very well, great people. But also
Speaker 4: and nobody talks about I'm forty eight people so badly
Speaker 4: injured and hundreds of people dead, hundreds of people you
Speaker 4: know when those mobs were off, because I count the
Speaker 4: other side, but there were hundreds of people killed, all
Speaker 4: because of an incompetent group of politics in generals and
Speaker 4: people that shouldn't be there.
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit, maybe an underreported story, but
Speaker 2: we know for a fact that both the Russians in
Speaker 2: the Chinese provided missile and ballistic missile systems.
Speaker 5: They did it to both.
Speaker 2: They helped Iran and they helped Venezuela.
Speaker 5: But you were able to dismantle that.
Speaker 2: You talk a lot about American military superiority, and then
Speaker 2: that goes into the issue that you raised this week
Speaker 2: of raising the budget for twenty twenty seven from one trillion.
Speaker 5: To one and a half trillion dollars.
Speaker 4: We need it, you know, when you look at the
Speaker 4: thread out there, we have the best equipment in the world.
Speaker 4: We make the best equipment in the world. We may
Speaker 4: just you know, there's nothing even close, but we need
Speaker 4: it because there are some real threats out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think we certainly do.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you about this, and I think this
Speaker 2: is important. With every military operation comes risk, and you
Speaker 2: have to obviously weigh that risk. And I think Americans
Speaker 2: would want to know what goes into your thinking because
Speaker 2: there's a whole new military doctrine. I call it the
Speaker 2: Trump doctrine. I think it's widely misunderstood.
Speaker 5: No forever wars.
Speaker 2: However, that doesn't mean you don't use the mite and
Speaker 2: power of the US military. You mentioned Bagdaddy SOLEMANI I'll
Speaker 2: add the mother of all bombs in Afghanistan, the ISIS
Speaker 2: Caliphate and then taking out a Rand's nuclear weaponsites and
Speaker 2: now our hemisphere.
Speaker 5: Are you calling it the Don Road doctrine?
Speaker 4: Well, they call it the donro I didn't go with that,
Speaker 4: but they're calling it this the Monroe Doctor and now
Speaker 4: they go with the Don Road, which is basically safety
Speaker 4: for this part of the world. And yeah, I mean
Speaker 4: it's pretty simple. We don't want drugs boring into our country.
Speaker 4: We don't admit people coming into our country like happened
Speaker 4: for four years under Biden, who's a disgrace, worst president
Speaker 4: the history of our country.
Speaker 3: Horrible.
Speaker 4: We had some other Bedroins, let me tell you, Obama
Speaker 4: was a terrible president. The divisiveness and the hatred it
Speaker 4: was cause and many of the people allowed into the country.
Speaker 4: But what Biden did was a step beyond anything that
Speaker 4: anybody's ever done. We had millions of people pouring through
Speaker 4: the border.
Speaker 3: Now we have nobody coming in unless they come in legally.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about you said for the interim, you will
Speaker 2: be in charge, Okay, obviously the remaining leadership underneath Maduro.
Speaker 2: They've made I mentioned earlier, three major concessions, thirty to
Speaker 2: fifty million barrels of oil. They're going to buy and
Speaker 2: purchase all their goods from America. Now they're releasing political prisoners. Okay,
Speaker 2: what is your ultimate goal for the governance of Venezuela.
Speaker 4: Prisoners that nobody thought they would ever see again now
Speaker 4: being released. Yeah, and in many cases good people is
Speaker 4: what I understand. But prisoners nobody ever thought they'd be released.
Speaker 4: So we're going to be working with them and leadership
Speaker 4: of the country, and so far we've been working very well.
Speaker 4: You know, we picked up the Russian freighter that trudged
Speaker 4: out there.
Speaker 5: I want to ask you about that.
Speaker 4: Well, they had some Russian ships guarding it and they
Speaker 4: decided not to mess around with us, and we took
Speaker 4: that one. That's unloading the oil. But we're getting we're
Speaker 4: taking billions and billions of dollars worth of oil, and
Speaker 4: it'll be hundreds of billions of dollars, it'll be trillions
Speaker 4: of dollars. But we're going to be there till we
Speaker 4: straighten out the country. We'll see how the country's doing,
Speaker 4: but we'll be running the oil. We're meeting tomorrow with
Speaker 4: all of the big oil executives. We're going to be
Speaker 4: right here in the White House. We're going to meet
Speaker 4: with the biggest oil people in the world. They're all
Speaker 4: coming here. At the top fourteen companies are coming here.
Speaker 3: They're going to go in. They're going to.
Speaker 4: Rebuild the whole oil infrastructure. They're going to spend at
Speaker 4: least one hundred billion dollars. And it's an unbelievable oil
Speaker 4: that they have, and an unbelievable quality of oil and
Speaker 4: amount of oil.
Speaker 2: When they nationalized the oil industry in Venezuela, going back
Speaker 2: to the nineteen twenties, American companies had invested billions. We
Speaker 2: built it, all of it, and then it was taken
Speaker 2: from stolen.
Speaker 3: It was stolen from us, and it was.
Speaker 4: Taken away years ago, over a period.
Speaker 3: Of time, but it was taken.
Speaker 4: Away in the early two thousands, even beyond that, but
Speaker 4: the early two thousands, and I.
Speaker 3: Just took it back.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine them being able to They have the
Speaker 2: largest oil reserves in the world. I can't imagine without
Speaker 2: American investment ingenuity, engineering, and our assistance that they would
Speaker 2: ever be able to tap into the vast resources that
Speaker 2: they have, again the largest in the entire world, So
Speaker 2: that will be a big part of it. What does
Speaker 2: that mean in terms of America's new partnership with Venezuela.
Speaker 4: Well, it means lower oil prices all over the world,
Speaker 4: which is great for everybody.
Speaker 3: It means lower oil.
Speaker 4: Prices for America, which I have it down. Don't forget.
Speaker 3: I inherited a mess. I inherited.
Speaker 4: They talk about affordability. There was no affordability under Biden.
Speaker 4: He had the worst inflation in history, the highest and
Speaker 4: worst inflation in history. Prices were through the roof, and
Speaker 4: I'm fixing it. I inherited a mess. I say it
Speaker 4: all the time. I inherited because people don't understand. I
Speaker 4: inherited a mess. Open borders, millions of people in this
Speaker 4: country that shouldn't be.
Speaker 3: With moving them out.
Speaker 4: We're moving them out pretty rapidly, to murderers and drug
Speaker 4: dealers and just some of the worst people in the world.
Speaker 1: All right, quick break right back. More of my exclusive
Speaker 1: sit down with President Trump on the other side than
Speaker 1: we have our polsters. Matt Tower, Robert Kahley and one
Speaker 1: year after the Pacific Palisades devastating fire, how come nobody's
Speaker 1: got permits to build their homes. Well, have a full
Speaker 1: report coming up. All right, we continue more of my
Speaker 1: interview with President Trump at the White House yesterday.
Speaker 5: Let me go back to.
Speaker 2: This issue of the political future for the people of Venezuela. Now,
Speaker 2: it's interesting you mentioned all of the criminals and the
Speaker 2: people let out of prisons that were sent to our
Speaker 2: borders in our country. That's trende arrago, that's cartel members.
Speaker 4: Some of the worst criminals in the world were let
Speaker 4: into our country. No one terroritize Biden's open border policy.
Speaker 3: Anybody could come.
Speaker 2: In and that We'll get into the issue of Minneapolis
Speaker 2: going on right now. But back to this one issue.
Speaker 2: Do you foresee a Venezuela.
Speaker 5: That will have free and fair elections?
Speaker 2: And I would have little doubt that the opposition would
Speaker 2: probably win handle it if they were free and if
Speaker 2: they were fair.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do see that.
Speaker 4: I think that's happening. But before we do that, it's
Speaker 4: going to take a while to do it. We have
Speaker 4: to rebuild the country. They couldn't have an election, they
Speaker 4: wouldn't even know how to have an election right now.
Speaker 3: The country has become.
Speaker 4: Third World and they wouldn't know how to have an
Speaker 4: election right now. We're going to rebuild the oil and
Speaker 4: the oil infrastructure. We'll be in charge of it. It's
Speaker 4: going to do great and make a lot of money,
Speaker 4: and we're going to take it from there. But we're
Speaker 4: going to rebuild the country and we'll ultimately you're going
Speaker 4: to have elections.
Speaker 2: When you talk about increasing defense spending, and I go
Speaker 2: back to the campaign, and I go back to your
Speaker 2: first term. Foreign policy usually doesn't get a lot of discussion,
Speaker 2: and in many ways you have dedicated a lot of time, energy,
Speaker 2: and resources very important for our country. Well, how is
Speaker 2: that in America's first interest, because that's what you stand for.
Speaker 4: Well, like the Middle East was blowing up when I
Speaker 4: got in. It was everybody was fighting everybody, which in
Speaker 4: fairness has been going on for about three thousand years
Speaker 4: the Middle East. So we now have peace of the
Speaker 4: Middle East. Nobody thought that was possible. But you have
Speaker 4: some great countries Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Ue and many other
Speaker 4: countries that have.
Speaker 3: Been around a long time.
Speaker 4: They're very wealthy, they were in many ways put out
Speaker 4: of business that weren't able to do business. You know,
Speaker 4: tremendous wealth for the world. The oil supply was hurt.
Speaker 4: Everything was hurt. I mean, you had things happening in
Speaker 4: the Middle East that were bad, not only in Gaza,
Speaker 4: with the death and the destruction going on for years,
Speaker 4: and it's been cleaned up. It's amazing it's been cleaned up.
Speaker 4: Now there'll be some remnants right now. We're gonna have
Speaker 4: to see what happens with Hamas. We're gonna have to
Speaker 4: see what happens with Hesbola and Lebanon. But we have
Speaker 4: fifty nine countries that signed on and they want to
Speaker 4: go in and help. If we should have to do
Speaker 4: something with Hamas, which is a possibility, I think they're
Speaker 4: going to do what they said they were going to do.
Speaker 4: They were going to disarm that they've been armed for
Speaker 4: a long time.
Speaker 2: They've been a little slow to disarm. Yeah, they've been
Speaker 2: Louise support Israel. Will you put them on a time?
Speaker 4: I would, but.
Speaker 3: First we'll see whether or not they're going to be disarming.
Speaker 4: Look, I'm all for it if they If they don't,
Speaker 4: they made the promise that they were. If they don't,
Speaker 4: they've they've made an agreement that they're going to disarm,
Speaker 4: so we're going to have to assume that they're going
Speaker 4: to but you know, it's not their nature to disarm.
Speaker 4: It's not exactly their nature. Hasbel husband a very bad
Speaker 4: and Lebanon. But overall, I mean, we have an amazing
Speaker 4: situation compared to what it was, and we really do
Speaker 4: have peace in the Middle East. And I will say
Speaker 4: so the Arabia quitar Ue and other countries have been amazing.
Speaker 4: They've been, you know, so helpful in getting it done.
Speaker 4: But the biggest thing was the attack on Iran. If
Speaker 4: you if you had a strong Iran and respected Iran,
Speaker 4: a powerful Iran like I guess it was at one point.
Speaker 4: So you know, a year ago, year and a half ago,
Speaker 4: you wouldn't have been able to make peace because the
Speaker 4: other countries wouldn't have been able to have that dark
Speaker 4: cloud hanging over them. And they by by knocking out
Speaker 4: their nuclear potential, they would have had a nuclear weapon
Speaker 4: within two months by knocking that.
Speaker 3: That's why I had to go in.
Speaker 4: Every president wanted to go in, and none of them did.
Speaker 2: I mean, you didn't want to send cargo planes of
Speaker 2: cash and of the currency.
Speaker 4: Oh terrible. I mean, I've never seen hundreds of hundreds
Speaker 4: of millions of dollars were sent in cash on Boeing
Speaker 4: seven fifty sevens, beautiful Boeing seven. They opened the cashers
Speaker 4: piled up to the ceiling. I never even knew a
Speaker 4: president could do that. How do you do that?
Speaker 3: What do you do?
Speaker 4: Call the banks? You know, they emptied out every bank
Speaker 4: in Virginia and Maryland to get that cash, and they
Speaker 4: sent it over there and gave it to him.
Speaker 5: No, we took the.
Speaker 4: Opposite approach, exactly the opposite approach.
Speaker 2: Are you following the protesting that is taking place all
Speaker 2: over the.
Speaker 5: Country of Iran?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm following.
Speaker 2: And have you have you read that the Iatola Ali
Speaker 2: Komani is now has a plan B to go to Russia.
Speaker 4: At some place he's looking to go.
Speaker 5: I believe.
Speaker 2: I think the country is on the verge of collapsing.
Speaker 3: Well, it could be.
Speaker 4: I mean, what they've done is they start in the past,
Speaker 4: they've started shooting the hell out of people, and all
Speaker 4: of a sudden, people without any weapons whatsoever, is standing
Speaker 4: there in your machine guns gunning them down, or they
Speaker 4: take them to prisons and then hang them and kill them.
Speaker 4: So they played rough and I said, if they do that,
Speaker 4: we're going to hit them very hard. Well, we're gonna
Speaker 4: hit them out. We're ready to do it. If they
Speaker 4: do that, we're going to hit them all. And so far,
Speaker 4: for the most part, there's been some of it, but
Speaker 4: for the most part they haven't. There have been people killed,
Speaker 4: some of them. The crowds are so big that some
Speaker 4: of them have had really like we're stumped on literally
Speaker 4: it was. It was terrible. The crowds are just they're massive.
Speaker 4: The enthusiasm to overturn that regime is incredible. But there's
Speaker 4: been people killed, but it's more from death by it's
Speaker 4: literally stomping. It's people running in a certain direction.
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens over
Speaker 3: They know.
Speaker 4: Though, that it's a stampede, is I guess the best
Speaker 4: word they have, Like a stampede.
Speaker 3: You talk about stampede for cattle, but the people.
Speaker 4: Are stampeding and you're losing a lot of people with
Speaker 4: the stampedge. There's so many there's so many people protesting.
Speaker 4: Nobody's ever seen anything like what's happening right now. But
Speaker 4: I have put a random noticed that if they start
Speaker 4: shooting at them. These people are totally unarmed people, and
Speaker 4: they love their country. They want something to happen. Look
Speaker 4: at their country. They've gone, They've gone back one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty years. But I've told them that if they
Speaker 4: do anything bad to these people, we're going to hit
Speaker 4: them very hard.
Speaker 2: So if there is mass murder by the raigning Ayatolos
Speaker 2: and those leadership, you're pledging to the people of Iran
Speaker 2: that you will come to their aid.
Speaker 3: I did, very loud and very clear, that's what.
Speaker 4: We're going to do.
Speaker 5: I have this hat.
Speaker 2: I guess you were playing golf with Lindsay Gram.
Speaker 3: I did that for Lindsay Graham.
Speaker 2: Make all says make a Ran great again?
Speaker 3: And what he means by that.
Speaker 4: Because I said, this is a little trick, he had,
Speaker 4: what do you want me to sign this head?
Speaker 5: I don't know he can I sell this. It's probably
Speaker 5: worth a lot of money.
Speaker 4: Kept my signature, but he asked me to sign that.
Speaker 3: I said, you know, there's a lot.
Speaker 4: Of definitions for that, and what he's talking about is
Speaker 4: the people that are protesting. I guess it's the only
Speaker 4: word you can use. It's really the biggest protest I've
Speaker 4: ever seen. The people that are protesting if they take
Speaker 4: over the country.
Speaker 3: He wants to see if Iran can be great again.
Speaker 4: You know, years ago a friend of mine was a
Speaker 4: developer from New York and I was a young developer
Speaker 4: and he went to Iran and he built buildings in
Speaker 4: Iran and he made a lot of money and he
Speaker 4: did very well. And it was like condos and rentals,
Speaker 4: and he loved Iran. He thought it was great, and
Speaker 4: he did a lot of work. I did a tremendous
Speaker 4: amount of work. He loved the people, he thought they
Speaker 4: were so incredible. And then it all stopped. When this stuff.
Speaker 2: Started happened nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like magic, four.
Speaker 2: Hundred and forty four days Americans held hostage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was not a good time for Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 4: Wasn't a good time for America. His politics, Oh.
Speaker 2: Didn't work out very well for anybody if in fact, well.
Speaker 3: You know, I think about that though.
Speaker 4: I could interrupt, because you know, when we were going
Speaker 4: into the middle of Venezuela, was helicopters landing in an
Speaker 4: army fort. We have thousands of soldiers and you have
Speaker 4: people with guns all over the place.
Speaker 3: I thought so much.
Speaker 4: About that Jimmy Carter catastrophe. We had so many hostages
Speaker 4: taken American hostages. We had the helicopters crashing, and you
Speaker 4: had the sandstorms. If you had sam storage, you should
Speaker 4: come back. But they tried to blast through the sandstorm.
Speaker 4: Nature always wins, remember the helicopter. Nature always wins. And
Speaker 4: helicopters don't have that kind of an engine. You know,
Speaker 4: there's a lot of moving parts. They don't like sand
Speaker 4: blowing into their gears. But anyway, they decided to go forward.
Speaker 4: I should have come back. But I was thinking about
Speaker 4: that because here we are going into actually a much
Speaker 4: more dangerous situation if you think about it.
Speaker 3: And Venezuela, we're in a fort, a military army fort,
Speaker 3: and the.
Speaker 4: House was built there for protection, and we're going in
Speaker 4: with helicopters, with jets, with helicopters, I mean, the jets
Speaker 4: preceded the helicopters.
Speaker 3: And did it unbelievable.
Speaker 4: These are unbelievably talented pilots and people, and very brave people.
Speaker 4: So I was thinking a lot about the Jimmy Guno thing.
Speaker 4: I don't know what he would have done or how
Speaker 4: he would have done if that didn't happen. But there
Speaker 4: are those that say that destroyed his chances of winning election,
Speaker 4: and you know, lost that election pretty big. He might
Speaker 4: have lost it anyway, perhaps, but there was no question
Speaker 4: after that mess, and I was saying, well, I hope
Speaker 4: that doesn't happen with me. But we have Raisin Kine
Speaker 4: and all of these great people, and they did an
Speaker 4: unbelievable Jeff, you.
Speaker 2: Know, you started in your first term the Abraham Accords,
Speaker 2: and I would argue beyond Israel, it's other countries in
Speaker 2: the region, Egypt, Jordan, the Saudiast and pretty much every
Speaker 2: country that they probably were breathing a sigh of relief
Speaker 2: as well as the Israelis because they didn't want to
Speaker 2: read in hegemony in the region and a nuclear om Iran.
Speaker 4: Well, you had to step that. You had no jewison.
Speaker 4: It should have been done long before I got there.
Speaker 4: It should have been done earlier. They just you look
Speaker 4: back and Obama should have done it.
Speaker 3: They all should have done it. Clinton should have done it.
Speaker 3: Obama went the other way. I mean Obama decided to
Speaker 3: go with Iran.
Speaker 4: I mean he was I don't know how Jewish people
Speaker 4: can vote for Biden and Obama, they were absolutely on
Speaker 4: the side.
Speaker 2: Of her, and they were again, Donnie, Well, we're going
Speaker 2: to find that favorite mayor.
Speaker 4: Well, I have a very nice relationship, but I thought
Speaker 4: it would take it at least maybe a month or
Speaker 4: two months before he went after me. He hit me
Speaker 4: on attack on Venezuela, which is pretty unusual because not
Speaker 4: too many people have hit us. That was a perfect attack.
Speaker 4: Think of what we've done. I mean, we've taken over
Speaker 4: a whole country. We're going to make the country strong
Speaker 4: and good, and we're going to ultimately be able to
Speaker 4: vote and put somebody in that they like the oil
Speaker 4: that we've taken. We've taken four billion dollars worth of
Speaker 4: oil and one day and that'll increase. We're going to
Speaker 4: have it rebuilt. All the big oil companies are coming in.
Speaker 4: They're going to make a lot of money, and Venezuela
Speaker 4: is going to get some of that money and we're
Speaker 4: going to get some of that money. And we brought
Speaker 4: stability to the region. We brought stability and much lower
Speaker 4: oil prices.
Speaker 3: You know, we have.
Speaker 4: Gasoline now down to in many cases one dollar and
Speaker 4: ninety nine cents gal. And with Biden, it was four
Speaker 4: and a half dollars five dollars.
Speaker 3: We have it way we have. We brought it way down.
Speaker 3: We've done a great job.
Speaker 4: When the word affordability prices are way down, they're going
Speaker 4: to go lower prices. You know, everything follows oil. Oil
Speaker 4: is so big, everything follows oil. If oil prices are down,
Speaker 4: everything's done. I mean, you can look at everything, because
Speaker 4: it's just it affects everything. It affects the truck that
Speaker 4: delivers donuts, It affects the stove that makes the donut.
Speaker 3: It affects everything.
Speaker 2: Two more issues on foreign policy national security than I do.
Speaker 2: Want to get to a deep dive into the economy.
Speaker 4: I want to ask you, ecloy is unbelievable, but that
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: But it's unbelievable you survive without Venezuela and oil. I
Speaker 2: don't see how it can canhusivea Cuba.
Speaker 4: No, Cuba totally realizes on Venezuela for money and for oil,
Speaker 4: and they give Venezuela protection. That was always the deal.
Speaker 4: They're very tough, they good soldiers. They got wiped out,
Speaker 4: as you know, three days ago, wiped out. I don't
Speaker 4: want to even say how many, but they got wiped out,
Speaker 4: but Cuba gives protection to Venezuela, and Venezuela gives Cuba
Speaker 4: money through oil.
Speaker 3: And I work that way for a long time you
Speaker 3: talked about it doesn't work that way anymore.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 3: I don't know what Cuba was going to do. I
Speaker 3: think Cuba was going to fail.
Speaker 4: It's got I don't think there are any alternatives to Cuba.
Speaker 1: Quick break well have more on the other side. Here's
Speaker 1: our toll free number. It's eight hundred and nine to
Speaker 1: four one sean. If you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program, we'll get a snapshot of where the
Speaker 1: polling is in this in the beginning of this all
Speaker 1: important midterm election year, with Matt Towery and Robert Cahali
Speaker 1: coming up straight ahead.
