WEBVTT - Hannity Breaks Down the Iran Strikes 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:01.559 Thanks to all of you for being with us. Right 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:05.000 down are toll free telephone number if you want to 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:07.320 be a part of the program, it is eight hundred 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:10.560 and ninety four one Sean if you want to join us. 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.640 The Left would like you to believe something that is 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:18.800 just fundamentally false and not true. And I know because 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:22.400 I believe Steve Wikoff, and Steve Wikoff was in the 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:26.680 room with Iranian negotiators, and Steve Wikoff could not be 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.120 any more clear in terms of what the intentions of 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:35.440 the Iranians he was negotiating with were as it relates 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.600 to not posing an imminent threat to our nation. I think, personally, 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.199 and I interviewed him twice, that this was, especially the 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:48.240 second time, the clearest, most defining moment in this conflict 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:53.199 and the president's decision to move forward with Operation Epic Fury, 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:58.000 and I think it bears repeating now, Donald Trump, there's 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.640 a lot of things that guide him and those people 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.400 that act like they know him and know his intentions 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.080 and come up with really strange, bizarre at times conspiracy 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.600 theories that he's being controlled by Israel, Israel's making the decision, No, 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:17.039 that's not true, or that BB influenced him. I asked, no, 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.920 that's not true, or that you know, hawkish conservatives are 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.479 just clamoring for war with a rant. No, that's not 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:30.080 true either. And I know Donald Trump and his history 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:35.280 backs up exactly what the Trump doctrine is, and that 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.800 is when he wiped out the is of Calvate, you 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.520 weren't getting daily updates because he was just bombing the 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.280 living hell out of him and it went on for 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.040 a number of weeks and wiped him out. They grew 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.000 under Biden and Obama and Donald Trump realized that that 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.120 was an existential threat to America just knocked him out. 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.440 It was not a small military feet. It did not 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.640 get the credit, It did not get the attention that 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.040 frankly it deserved. It didn't take that big a deal 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.720 over although it was a big deal because I mean, 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.120 he decapitated Defang, that snake, you know, Convert or die, 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:12.240 was a real existential threat to the free world. And 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.520 then of course he took out SOLEMANI the world's worst terrorist, 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.000 and he took out Bagdaddy and associates and all the 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.639 terror that he is fomented. And he dropped the mother 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.720 of all bombs when he felt he needed to in Afghanistan. 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.359 This is not isolationism, but it also is in keeping 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.840 with the with the Trump doctrine no forever war. So 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.480 I can promise you from all I can see, all 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.560 that I hear, and all that I understand, and I 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.359 have a lot of sources that a lot of people 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.080 that talk don't have, and this is not going to 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.919 be a forever war. They are ahead of schedule. Has 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:52.560 never been a more successful military effort in the history 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.600 of warfare then what we have now witnessed with what 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.280 Operation Epic Fury has done. I mean, they have more 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.880 success today. I just just keeps growing. But I want 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.280 to address what the media is clinging on to because 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.560 they don't want to report that part and the people 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.920 that are angry. There's a lot of angry people out there. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.239 The beauty about Donald Trump, And I'm just going to 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.600 give you the secret sauce of how this how Donald 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.119 Trump's mind works. He will listen to anybody and everybody. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.560 He will look at the intelligence, he will get the 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.440 briefings that none of us have access to. He did 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.799 task Jared Kushner and Middle East don voy Steve Whitkoff. 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.720 He did task them to go get a deal, and 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.760 he repeatedly said I want a deal. He wanted a 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.440 deal before Operation Midnight Hammer. And I think he probably 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.920 was a little more hopeful that after Midnight Hammer and 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.840 fourteen bunker buster bombs that blew out and obliterated their 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.800 nuclear facilities, that hey, maybe they may be more inclined 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.080 to make a deal this time. But just to back 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.360 it up, the President started building up our mill terry 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.160 forces in case they did not want a deal. And 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.520 lo and beholds he sends in Steve Whitkoff, Jared Kushner. 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.480 He wanted peace. He kept saying, I want peace. I'd 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.920 rather make a deal. I'd rather make a deal. It's 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.880 up to them, and they cannot have a nuclear weapon. Now, 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:20.080 this really is fundamentally freeze frame all of that. That 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.160 is fundamentally what the president's mission has been. It's also 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.720 been to degrade their ballistic missile systems. It's also been 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.360 to stop their reign of terror in the entire region, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.000 and you know, prevent them from ever becoming a threat 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.520 to the United States. Noble goals, But in keeping with 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.000 the Trump doctrine, now only time will tell if the 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.360 President is ahead of schedule, by my calculation, we're looking 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.520 at about three four more weeks, maybe a little longer, 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.520 a little less, little more. I don't know, And I 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.440 would imagine that you will see a draw down sooner 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.120 rather than later. He will not drag us into a quagmar. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.440 But the princip that are guiding the president are critical 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:08.039 to understand. And this is what isolationists don't understand. This 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.800 is what the anti Israel crowd doesn't understand. This is 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.320 what the radical left doesn't understand, nor do they want 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:18.360 to understand. And there's no point in arguing with stupid, 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.000 and no point in arguing with with ignorance, because there's 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.799 a lot of it out there. And I just happen 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.279 to know so much of what I read and see 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:32.880 and hear is complete. Adam bull Shift, it's just lying 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.720 because there are principles that guide Donald Trump. There's a 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.760 method behind his madness, and there's no madness there. There's 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.560 actual genius behind it. And that is he learned the 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.640 lessons of history. What lessons did he learn? He learned 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.279 the lesson of peace through strength through Ronald Reagan to 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.240 build up the biggest, baddest, meanest, toughest military on the 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.279 face of the earth. He's trying now to expand out 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.599 that military, which is why he proposed a one point 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:01.200 five trillion dollar military budget, so that we don't ever 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.880 fall behind. We have to always lead militarily so we 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.239 can defend the cause of liberty and freedom. The price 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.400 has been so high over our two hundred and fifty 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.160 year history. So he learned that from Reagan. He also 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:18.480 learned from the last century. He learned that when threats emerge, 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:24.719 to ignore them is beyond foolish, and that millions of 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.640 lives potentially can be lost, and those that failed to 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.839 learn these lessons from history are doomed to repeat history. 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.440 He learned what happened in China with under Mao and 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:43.200 Stalin and Russia and Hitler and Germany and Nazi Germany 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:48.279 and fascism in Italy and Mussolini and Tojo in Japan 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.360 and Paul pot in the killing fields. Because in the 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.279 last century, and my father spent four years in the 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:59.040 Pacific Theater fighting in World War Two, and many other 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.000 relatives have fought well, it wasn't pleasant and they lost friends. 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.159 My father would never talk about it, but in that century, 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.800 over one hundred million people died and the President learned 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:14.160 that historical lesson. President also learned, I mean, in retrospect, 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.200 thank god, military technology has advanced. We're seeing now the 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.480 next generation of weaponry, something we have spoken of often 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.440 on this program and on TV about and the next 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.600 generation of weaponry is only going to get more sophisticated, 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.480 where I would argue future conflicts wars will probably be 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.680 fought in air conditioned offices and they're not going to 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.040 be fought on a battlefield like they were historically, which 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.679 makes the need for a Golden Dome greater than ever. 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:46.200 So you have this this guy that makes this big 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:50.800 splash today and the Trump haters and the isolationist crowd, 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.320 and you know, all those people that are mad that 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.480 Donald Trump didn't take their advice. Donald Trump takes counsel 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.640 from everyone, and then he makes up his own mind. 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:03.480 That is just a an you know, irrefutable fact. Anyone 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.520 that would tell you otherwise obviously doesn't know Donald Trump. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:11.120 And anyway, so you've got this guy, Joe Kent, director 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.880 of National counter Terrorism the National counter Terrorism Center, announcing 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:21.160 his immediate resignation, citing irreconcilable opposition to the ongoing US 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:26.800 military operations in Iran. He declared he could not in 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:31.400 good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran and stating 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:38.200 unequivocally that Iran posed quote no imminent threat to our nation. Okay, 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.480 I've done a little digging, a little background work, and 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:48.000 this guy has and has had his own agenda for 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:52.040 some time. Just to be very clear, And it's now 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:57.040 being reported by Fox News that President Trump knew is 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:01.079 now former director of Counterintelligence Center, was a known leaker. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.680 He'd been shut out of White House intelligence briefings for months. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.080 He was also shut out of any and all Iran 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:13.880 war preparations, and the DNI Director of National Intelligence, Tulsey Gabbard, 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.040 was told that he should be fired, but that didn't happen. 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.320 They also are reporting and people are saying that Kent was, 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:29.880 you know, clearly a source for the anti military action, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.720 you know, radicals. One person, a former deputy White House 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:39.240 Chief of Staff and top Trump advisor, Taylor Watowich, said 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.840 that Joe Kent is a crazed ego maniac who was 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.199 often at the center of national security leaks, while rarely 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.760 never producing any actual work. He spent all of his 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.640 time working to subvert the chain of command. And undermine 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.720 the President of the United States. This is in some 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.960 principled resignation. He just wanted to make a splash before 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.800 getting canned. What a loser. Okay, I can't testify to 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.520 that first time. I never met the guy, but he 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.120 obviously wanted to make a splash. We only have one 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.880 commander in chief at a time, and in this case 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.960 it's Donald Trump. Well, let's take you to this statement 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:19.080 no imminent threat. Steve Witkoff was the person, along with 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.640 Jared Kushner, negotiating this. Let's go to my interview with him. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.640 Rand opened up the negotiations bragging about having foreigner in 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.560 sixty kilograms of sixty percent enriched uranium. As you listen 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.240 to this, understand sixty percent can be enriched to ninety 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:38.800 percent weapons grade in a period of seven to twelve days. Listen. 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.560 They opened up with telling us that they had the 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:46.520 inalienable right to enrich to which we responded that from 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.679 President Trump, that they we had the inalienable right to 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.640 stop them from enriching. So but they opened up by 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.280 challenging us. Their next statement to us was that they 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:03.800 had four hundred and sixty killers of sixty percent enriched uranium. 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:08.200 Sixty percent enriched uranium would take a week maybe ten 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.360 days at the outside to bring up to ninety percent 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.600 weapons grade. So it was a clear threat. They were 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.440 boasting about having it, and they said that that was 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:22.240 going to be something that was going to be very 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.200 valuable at the same time that they were attesting to 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:30.760 wanting nuclear for civil purposes. There is no reason whatsoever 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.680 to be enriching past twenty percent unless you're going for 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:35.200 a weapon. 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.560 There is no reason, then, Wickkoff, in the interview with me, 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.640 he said a Ran turned down the US offer to convert, 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.160 in other words, was civilian purposes. You really need ten 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:51.480 percent enriched uranium and no enrichment capabilities that would obviously 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.640 be backed by anywhere or any place, anytime inspections. So 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.880 again the context is this guy says, there's no eminent threat, 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.440 you decide. Here's Wikoff. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.560 In terms of their enrichment, it was very very clear 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.839 they had plenty of twenty percent material. That, by the way, 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:15.920 was another telling sign of of their insidious motives. And 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.440 as I said, they had the sixty percent. We had 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.600 a red line on enrichment. However, we were willing to 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.240 help them convert to a civil one two three non 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.440 enrichment program, and what you're referring to is as a 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.600 little extra. We suggested to them that we would provide 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.880 fuel to them for free for a long period of time. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.959 And their response to that. You would think they would 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.439 feel that that was something gracious, but their response to 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.720 us was that this was an assault on their dignity. 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:57.680 It's an assault on their dignity. So free civilian use 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:03.959 uranium lowly and rich enrich any further and for ten years, 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:08.079 but really in perpetuity. And then here's wikoff Iran Bragg 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:13.000 that they controlled the foreigundred sixty kilograms of enriched uranium 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.200 and how this could be eleven nuclear weapons. 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.719 Listen, and let me say this, because I forgot this 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:23.560 small little detail in that first meeting. Both the Iranian 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:30.040 negotiators said to us directly, with no shame, that they 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:34.120 controlled four hundred and sixty kilograms of sixty percent and 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.760 they're aware that that could make eleven nuclear bombs. And 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:42.599 that was the beginning of the negotiating stance. So that's 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.080 they were proud of it. They were proud that they 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:49.000 had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.959 a place where they could deliver eleven nuclear bombs. 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.720 And here's the president responding to Kent leaving. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:05.439 Your director National Counterters and Joe Ken he just resigned today. 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.920 He said he can't support your conflict with Iran. What's 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:09.840 your reaction to that? 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.000 Did you well? I read a statement. I always thought 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:13.920 he was a nice guy, but I always thought he 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:18.920 was weak on security, very weak on security. I didn't 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:20.960 know him well, but I thought it seemed like a 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:25.080 pretty nice guy. But when I read a statement, I 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.560 realized that it's a good thing that he's out because 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:32.640 he said that Iran was not a threat. Iran was 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:36.120 a threat. Every country realized what a threat I Ran was. 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.920 The question is whether or not they wanted to do 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:38.880 something about it. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.960 Even after midnight ham or fourteen bunker busters, they still 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.320 would not give up their nuclear ambition. Number one state 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.400 sponsor of terror. Here's the question. Are you willing to 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.080 risk for future generations a nuclear armed Iran? Or do 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:59.800 you believe they truly believe that they want to wipe 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.480 Israel and America off the map. I happen to believe 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.720 they mean it, but I can't convince others that don't. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.680 Chucky Schumer is sure upset because we want to see 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:17.800 where the money went? 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:18.560 Where's the money? 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.200 Maybe we should start with him. How about a Chucky 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:23.400 Where is the dough? 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:42.720 Sean Hannity. So it's a typical, you know, media distraction, 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.600 and we'll get into this. On the other side, there 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:50.840 has never been a greater intelligence military success story than 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:52.560 there has been here, and we'll give you all the 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:56.600 updates it is. It has been the most overwhelming, devastating 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:01.200 intelligence military success that we've ever seen in the history 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.680 of warfare. And this is not going to be a 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:07.000 forever war. That is not how Donald Trump rolls. And 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.240 as much as they want to convince you otherwise, some 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:13.480 people with agendas, it's just not true. And the world 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.600 is and will be a much safer place. And if 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:43.800 you don't see that, I can't help you. Coming this 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:49.280 March seventeenth, Dublin's very own talk show, lebric One Sean 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:58.200 Ohanity dropping them on into you. This is our right wing, 0:16:58.280 --> 0:16:59.120 aren't you can set? 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:00.240 It's a lepric. 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:10.000 Shanahan Happy Saint Patty's Day and all you in New York, Linda, 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.600 aren't you glad you moved to Pennsylvania? All those people 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.400 in the street puking up green beer. I mean, there's 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.960 no part of me that misses that. One of the 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.680 worst days to be in New York City ever. 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.159 Speaking of well, I mean now every day is the 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:27.800 worst day to be in New York City because mom 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:28.600 Donnie is mayor. 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.800 I went through great Speci went into great specificity yesterday 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:38.720 about all his tax proposals, including dropping the estate tax. 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.520 You know, from you had you had a deduction of 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.840 you get to keep the seven point five million, which, 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.399 by the way, in New York that's so a lot 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.880 of money for anybody, But in New York now they're 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.199 gonna he's dropping it down a seven hundred and fifty thousand. 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.600 If you own a closet in New York as an 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.760 apartment and a dump, you probably paid seven fifty Is 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.480 that that's pretty accurate in my wrong and my six percent. 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.960 It's the nuts. I mean, it's incredible how people live, 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:07.280 people that worked. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:08.760 And they want to run everybody out of town. Good 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.480 luck with your empty homeless drug ee city. Good luck. 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.200 Uh, it's just sad. But he wants a fifty percent, 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.159 wants to drop the deduction. So in other words, you 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.320 want to you pay taxes on all this money. And 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.600 in New York you're paying clothes to sixty cents out 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.880 of every dollar in taxis state, local, federal, city taxes, 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.200 and never mind, you know, add the property taxes over 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:35.160 sixty cents of every dollar you make. And now if 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.920 you die and you own anything, uh after seven hundred 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.560 and fifty thousand, you get to keep that and then 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.199 it used to be seven and a half million. He 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:49.320 wants a fifty percent city death tax. We already have 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.679 a ten percent New York state death tax. Not me, 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.879 I'm gone. They also have a forty percent federal death tax. 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:58.800 That's one hundred percent. You don't get to keep any 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.080 or pass on any money to your family. Bye, buy 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.840 New York, you know, just like they keep the more 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.320 billionaires moved out of California announcing yesterday. I think it's 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.040 going to keep growing. Listen, born on America's darkest day, 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:16.879 radical Islamis, terrorists that were war with us. We weren't 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:20.040 at war with them, nine to eleven Commission report. A 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.840 Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been helping America's heroes ever since, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.600 and that means heroes like Detective Victor Vargas now Victor 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.879 dedicated his life to service. He was a United States 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.200 Air Force veteran later became a detective in New York City. 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.320 After the nine to eleven attacks, Victor joined the search 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:41.480 and the recovery efforts at Ground Zero, a self less 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.879 act that would cost him his life later. Now this 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.240 is the twenty fifth anniversary year of nine to eleven, 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.920 we continue to see the toll that that day has 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:54.480 taken on heroes and their families. Victor fought a pancreatic 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:58.280 cancer with courage, leaving behind his loving wife for kids. 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.600 And Tunnel to Towers because your generosity was able to 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:05.560 honor Victor and his family by paying off the Vargas 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.679 family mortgage, and we can help more families. There's so 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.760 many more families to help like the Vargas family through 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.160 the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Anyway you can help bring 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:18.080 hope and security to all those that have given us 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.919 so much. Please you know, by the way, you can 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:22.840 donate a car. If you have land, they can build 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.359 a house on that land for a hero. And you 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.280 can donate eleven dollars a month, So there's great work continues. Anyway, 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.800 support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Go to their website, 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.160 the letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org, 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:40.760 letter T number two, LETTERT dot org. So this idea, 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:42.159 and I'm not going to spend a lot of time, 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:46.399 although we'll get Lindsay Graham's take on this, This idea 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:50.040 that it's not an imminent threat is just inaccurate. And 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.240 I understand people have their agenda. And by the way, 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.760 you know, by you know, nearly seventy percent of people, 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:01.320 two thirds of people think that this effort. How could 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:03.680 you not say it's successful? What part of this has 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:07.240 not been successful? You know? The White House calling this 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:09.359 guy a craze loser and ego manning. I don't know 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:13.680 anything about the guy. It doesn't matter. He's not the president. 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.800 End of sentence. The president makes those decisions. And the 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:22.199 idea that these people passing on these conspiracy theories are 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.480 so bizarre to me because they're just not true. And 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:27.320 he can act like the hero that he wants and 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:31.119 goes out of his blazer glory and hang out with 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.800 his isolation as friends. I don't care, because either you 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.119 agree with the president and agree with Steve Witkoff, or 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:42.199 you don't. There's no convincing people to think rationally when 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.800 they can't. By the way, eighty nine percent of MAGA, 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:50.679 the MAGA base, supports this conflict in Iran. Harry Enton's 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:55.919 Henn reported this morning on Polling Shows, Yeah, MAGA, the 0:21:55.960 --> 0:22:01.879 movement created by Donald Trump, that they overwhelmingly Operation Epic Fury. 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.640 That's like eighty nine percent approve of the military action 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:11.000 that is the MAGA GOP base. As data came from 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:14.840 recent recent NBC and CNN. We actually have the clip 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:15.640 of it. Let's play it. 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:19.280 Mark Rubio's chances according to the Calci Prediction markets way 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:24.400 way up. Okay, Why why why are his chances way 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:26.679 way up? Well, one of the reasons why his chances 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.840 are way way up is because the magabase really likes 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:33.000 the US military action in Iran. Take a look here, okay, 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.399 MAGA GOP on the US military action Iran. Look at this. 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.639 Nearly nine to ten, eighty nine percent approve of the 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.560 US military action around that is the MAGA GOP base. 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:48.560 Just nine percent disapprove of it. This is tremendously popular 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.720 among the Republican base, and of course Mark Rubio, Secretary 0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:54.439 of State overseeing the effort. It seems to me that 0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:57.200 a lot of people are taking that into account, including 0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:00.439 President Donald Trump, who has been smiling on an awful 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.159 lot at Marco Rubio lately. 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.920 All right, So there you have it. In spite of 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:11.680 the propaganda. I mean, there are people, you know, Frankly, 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:13.920 I don't even know if they ever were MAGA, but 0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:17.040 they're entitled to their views. I'm a free speech absolutist. 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.560 I don't care what people say. Here's where we are. 0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:23.000 More than seven thousand major military targets have been hit, 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.720 more than one hundred Iranian naval vessels have been destroyed. 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:31.480 Their ballistic missile launches and drone attacks are now down 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:35.160 by over ninety ninety five percent. It has been nothing 0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:40.080 but an utter humiliation for Iran's rogue regime. And you know, 0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:43.000 if you look at you know, our fighter jets now 0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:47.040 fly with impunity. We own the skies over Iran. You know, 0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.800 we are hunting their last remaining launchers stockpiles now going 0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:56.000 after the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Israel took out the deceased. 0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:59.479 I told his personal plane, you know, a new report 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:03.000 emerging about his son, apparently the anointed leader. And we 0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:05.679 told you this yesterday to Intel officials telling the New 0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:08.879 York Post the new Supreme Leader, the son of the 0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:12.359 old Supreme leader, one that they are reporting in the 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:14.280 New York Post that he's probably gay, which is a 0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:18.080 little ironic considering how gay men and how they treated 0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:21.320 women inside of Iran. I mean, they would take the 0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:24.240 gay men and they'd throw them off of tall buildings 0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:27.080 and kill them. And women were beaten if they didn't 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:31.400 dress the right way or follow the draconian rules. And 0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.760 never mind the tens of thousands of people. But that's 0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.879 not why Donald Trump did this. That was, you know, 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:40.840 help is on the way. But we also had a 0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:44.320 clear present danger. The President tried for a negotiated settlement, 0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:48.000 just like he did before Operation Midnight Hammer. Now we 0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:52.240 can't forget how this entire conflict started. We took out 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:55.680 the Supreme Leader and as forty top people. Then when 0:24:55.720 --> 0:25:00.359
