WEBVTT - The Imminent Threat 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.360 Hour two Sean Hannity Show, tolfree. It is eight hundred 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:04.760 and nine point one Sean. If you want to be 0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:07.720 a part of the program. Senator Lindsey Graham of South 0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.160 Carolina will join us in a minute. So you know, 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.400 big splash media following this like its big news. There 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:16.520 has never been as I just laid out a more 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:22.360 successful military effort in the history of warfare. And Donald 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:26.320 Trump has combined three lessons of history really feur and away. 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.800 But he learned the lesson from Reagan peace through strength. 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:33.320 He also learned from the last century that if you 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:37.720 let emerging threats develop, you wait too long, you risk 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:41.200 mass death. Over one hundred million people in the last 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:50.519 century dying because of some ism China, Stalin, Russia, mal Hitler, Germany, Fascism, Italy, Tojo, Japan, 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.560 Pole Pond, the killing field. So he's applying that. He's 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.200 also developed his own doctrine, the Trump doctrine, which wiped 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:02.240 out Isis and Solamani and Daddy and dropped the mother 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:06.520 of all bombs on Afghanistan, took out the Iranian nuclear sites, 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:10.360 standing true to his principal no Forever wars. But now 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:15.280 with the onset of new technology. We don't have to 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.280 follow the bad example of Iraq and Afghanistan where we're 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.640 sending our national treasure on the ground. We can stop 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:27.400 a threat before it becomes a massive threat and risking 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.040 even a potential holocaust in all lifetime. That's how serious 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.480 this whole issue is. So you have this senior administrative official, 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.520 this guy Joe Kent, Director of Counterintelligence Center. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:41.160 He was a known leaker. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.479 According to the White House, he had been shut out 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.520 of White House intelligence briefings for months, and he was 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:51.040 shut out of any and all Iran war preparations. And 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.680 the interesting thing and the update the White House even 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.920 said he's a crazed ego maniaco, was often at the 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.080 center of national security leagues, spend his time working to 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.040 subvert the chain of command, undermine the president. And he 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.160 tries to go out with this big splash today, and 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.120 of course the left wing media is eating it up. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.280 You know, he said, in good conscience he couldn't support 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.840 the war in Iran, and this is what he said, 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.240 a ram post no imminent threat to our nation. So 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:19.880 I'm going to go back to the start of the show, 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.600 and then I'm going to have Lindsey Graham laid this 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.000 out for you, and I'm going to hand the ball 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.440 to him. I want to play Steve Whitkoff on my 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.520 show how he was in the negotiations. The President wanted 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.640 a deal, Jared Kushner Steve Witkoff were negotiating that deal. 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:38.160 This is how Steve Witkoff described the opening of those negotiations. 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.920 They opened up with telling us that they had the 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:45.919 inalienable right to enrich to which we responded that from 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.040 President Trump that they we had the inalienable right to 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.000 stop them from enriching. So but they opened up by 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.640 challenging us. Their next statement to us was that they 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:03.120 had four hundred and sixty kilograms of sixty percent enriched uranium. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.560 Sixty percent enriched uranium would take a week, maybe ten 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.720 days at the outside to bring up to ninety percent 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.960 weapons grade, So it was a clear threat. They were 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.800 boasting about having it, and they said that that was 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.600 going to be something that was going to be very 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.560 valuable at the same time that they were attesting to 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:30.120 wanting nuclear for civil purposes. There is no reason whatsoever 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.040 to be enriching past twenty percent unless you're going for 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:34.920 a weapon. 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:40.280 Deliver eleven nuclear bombs. Back to Steve Witcough. Now, they 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:46.960 offered on behalf of the president US provided civilian use 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:51.160 uranium enriched at a low level, which would be all 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.560 that they need, just in exchange for a commitment, and 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:59.680 of course there'd be trust but verify provisions. They would 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.760 give it to them for free. They just had to 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.920 agree not to enriched uranium and pursue nuclear weapons. They refused. 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.960 Listen, in terms of their enrichment, it was very very 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:15.320 clear they had plenty of twenty percent material. That, by 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:20.960 the way, was another telling sign of of their insidious motives. 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.800 And as I said, they had the sixty percent. We 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:30.200 had a red line on enrichment. However, we were willing 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.240 to help them convert to a civil one two three 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:38.080 non enrichment program. And what you're referring to is as 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.840 a little extra. We suggested to them that we would 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:46.120 provide fuel to them for free for a long period 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.120 of time. And their response to that. You would think 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.560 they would feel that that was something gracious, but their 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.880 response to us was that this was an assault on 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:57.600 their dignity. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.960 Now, the last thing that is pivotal, he said. They 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.200 bragged about their four unit and sixty kilograms of sixty 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.279 percent enriched uranium. It would take a week to ten 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:11.240 days to enrich that to ninety percent enrichment, which is 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.400 weapon grade enrichment. That would allow them to make eleven 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.000 nuclear bombs. This is this guy saying, no imminent threat 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.520 to our nation. In seven or ten days, they'd be 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.719 able to make eleven bombs. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.760 Listen, and let me say this, because I forgot this 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:32.600 small little detail. In that first meeting, both the Iranian 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:39.120 negotiators said to us directly, with no shame, that they 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:43.159 controlled four hundred and sixty kilograms of sixty percent and 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.800 they're aware that that could make eleven nuclear bombs. And 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:51.680 that was the beginning of the negotiating stance. So that's 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:52.920 they were. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:53.280 Proud of it. 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.360 They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.400 oversight protocols to get to a place where they could 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.240 deliver a le nuclear bombs. 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:07.200 Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina joins US. Senator, tell me how, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.960 based on Steve Witkoff, that that is not an imminent 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:10.760 threat to our nation. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.360 Well, it's most imminent threat we've faced as a nation 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.880 coming from Iran since nineteen seventy nine. Thank god Kamala 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.720 Harris was not in the White House, thank god President 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.280 Trump was. What was now, how do you explain this? 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.359 So Trump is basically saying, if you want peaceful nuclear power, 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.480 which you've been claiming, they've denied they want a bomb, 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.479 even though they've been trying to do everything in the 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.200 world to get a bomb. Trump gave them an offer 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.400 that they couldn't refuse unless they wanted a bomb. So 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.640 he spoke them out. He said, you can have all 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.600 the spent fuel rods you need forever, really for free 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.279 to produce nuclear power. You just can't have the capability 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.839 to go from three and a half percent to ninety 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.480 percent to make a bomb. The difference between sixty percent 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.920 highly enriched uranium and ninety is weapons great nine weapon. 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:04.039 It's about ten to twelve days of enrichment. They thought 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.400 they were talking to Obama and Biden. When they told 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.760 Kushner and Wigoff what they just told them. They thought 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.280 that they would panic, They would beg them not to 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.640 go to ninety and throw a bunch of money at them, 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.400 like Obama and Biden did. When Trump heard that they 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.320 were within two weeks of going to ninety percent. He 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.120 blew up their enrichment program. Instead of trying to bribe 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.800 them and beg them, he blew it up. And that's 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.680 why they don't have a bomb today. If that's not emminent, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.160 what would be. Bottom line is when Kushner and Wigkough 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.920 went to negotiate a peaceful nuclear power program of the 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.040 Iranians made a big miscalculation. They bragged about how close 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.800 they were a nuclear weapon literally weeks. This is an 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.080 episode of twenty four. If people don't get this, they're 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.720 not trying very hard. The media does not want you 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.840 to know this story because it justifies Midnight Hammer on steroids. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.720 After Midnight Hammer, when they blew up all the enrichment, 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.200 so within a week they tried to start over again, 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.720 going deeper in the ground and having no ventilator shafts 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.560 so they can enrich without a bomb coming down the shaft. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.679 That's why we did epic fury. This was a war 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.520 not of choice, but of necessity. The necessity was a 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.160 religious Nazi regime who's been trying to build a bomb 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.440 for decades, and Donald Trump finally stopped him, Thank god 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.240 he did. You could have your opinions of President Trump, 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.840 but you cannot have your own facts. If he had 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.440 not acted when he did, we'd be talking about a 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.720 nuclear armed Iyotola, who would wreak havoc on the world, 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.040 who would control the streets of hormones in the Mid 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.040 East oil supply forever, because he'd have a nuclear weapon 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.679 and he would eventually use it against Isral because he's 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.480 a religious Nazi. He is now dead. Their nuclear program 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.240 has been obliterated. We should be celebrating Donald Trump. Let 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.720 him finish the job, get this over with once and 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.959 for all. So thank you for having Wikoff on your show, 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.880 the most important show in the history of Sean Hannity television. 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.800 With one quick cough, explained to the audience how close 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.000 they were to Obama and how Donald Trump stopped them. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.360 Quick break right back, more with South Carolina, Senator Lindsay 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.520 Graham than your calls on the other side, eight hundred 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:18.360 ninety four one, Shawn, As we continue. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:25.520 Three hours a day of red, white, and blue America crowds. 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.280 This is the Sean Hannity Show. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.559 All right, we continue now, Senator Lindsay Graham, South Carolina's 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.280 with us. Eight hundred ninety four one, Shawn. You're calls 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.920 coming up straight ahead. Let me ask you this because 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.080 I get asked this all the time, and I understand 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.520 that the president, Yeah, he has the Trump doctrine. 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:10.079 I don't think. 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.000 I think there are many people that claim to be 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.400 maggot that don't understand it. As evidenced by his past 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:20.480 military actions including Midnight Hammer, including the ISIS Caliphate, including 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.679 Solomani Bag Daddy and the Mother of All Bombs in Afghanistan, 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:29.040 Donald Trump does not plan on being there very long, 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.040 and they are ahead of schedule according to him, And 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.520 I'm not looking for a drop dead date when this 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.840 thing is going to be over. The what the outcome 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.880 is going to be. Ultimately, the Iranian people are going 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.400 to have to do their part. They'll have a chance 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.960 once in a generation opportunity. Don't ruin it, Trump said 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.560 to them. Pebe said the same, and that moment's coming soon. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.560 How but based on operations where we are, you know, 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.160 I'm not looking for a real timeline. But I think 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.480 Americans want to be assured that this is not a 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.800 forever war. This is not a rack in Afghanistan, which 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:00.160 I know, No. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:00.520 It's not. 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.800 I can promise you Snyder forever war ago. So they're 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.520 not the the Iranian regime. We're running out of targets. 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:12.959 We're killing the Revolutionary Guard guys. We're demitting their ability 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.880 to build missiles and to build drones and to hit us. 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.560 Ever again, uh, we got the regime on the run. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.480 We just killed their number chief security guy today, number 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:23.320 two to Kamani. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:24.280 He was a bit. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.760 It's like losing General Patten. We took him out today. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.360 So we're talking in weeks, not months. And what's the 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.239 goal is to make sure the regime has been devastated 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.160 in terms of their ability to go back to making 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.120 the news weapon producing missiles that can hit us in 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.240 fund terrorism. We're very, very close. But the real goal, 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.960 I think is to give the Iranian people, over time, 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.360 a chance to take their country back. But the biggest 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.360 prize of all is if you could get Saudi Arabia 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.480 back at the negotiating table, to end the Arab Israeli conflict, 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.840 to recognize Israel the one and only Jewish state, have 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.920 diplomatic relations between the center of Islam, Saudi Arabia and 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.200 in the center of the Jewish State, Israel, and they 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.920 make peace. That's the biggest change in two thousand years. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:11.000 October The seventh was designed to stop normalization. Donald Trump, 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.880 once we get Iran in a box, we're going to 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.679 take back up the cause of peace. The gateway to 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.920 peace opens wide when this regime has been neutered and 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.120 can no longer generated another October seventh. You heard it 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.840 on this program. Sooner rather than later, Saudi Arabia and 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.480 Israel will start negotiating an end to a two thousand 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.640 year conflict. It will be because of what Donald Trump 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:38.680 did to Iran, the great disruptor. Iran has kept the 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.439 Mid East in chaos, has kept the world in chaos, 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.760 and their reign of terror is about to end. The 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:48.960 biggest dividend of taking this regime down and debilitating this 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.720 ability to create terrorism is that peace now is possible 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:57.720 between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Historic beyond historic, And there's 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:02.040 one man above all. Our military desert tremendous credit. But 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.400 without a good commander in chief, it doesn't matter how 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.800 good your military is. President Trump is setting in motion 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.720 the end of a two thousand year old conflict piece 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.640 as far as the I can see in the Mid East. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.200 But coss he took on the I tool. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:20.080 It's a myth, you know, It wasn't just Israel that 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.680 was celebrating Midnight Hammer now epic fury. It was every 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.640 Arab country in the region. I learned a lot when 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.800 I went on that Gulf State trip with the President 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:34.880 to Riod and to the UAE into Qatar. I learned 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.960 so much. And they wanted this as much as Israel. 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.520 They did not want a nuclear armed Iran. They did 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.640 not want a rany inngemony in the region. 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.280 You're so right, and that's why I go there to 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.520 try to learn. Remember the last time we took our 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.679 eye off the ball over there and it came here 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:56.319 was nine to eleven. The biggest threat to civilization with 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.600 the religious Nazi the I toolis regime having through weapon, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.600 they would use it. There's three things the theocracies built 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:09.840 around purify Islam. They're Shiites. They hate Sunnism, that's Saudi Arabia. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.000 They would destroy Sunni Islam if they could make them 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.280 bend to their will. They want to destroy all the 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.720 Jews because God commands them to in their twisted religion. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.800 We're infidels and they'd come after us, drive us out 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.880 of the Mid East. Like Hitler. They meant it. People 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.920 didn't believe he meant I want to kill all the 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.040 Jews and I want an Arian race. They were wrong. 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.200 They should have understood him. Minute when the Ietola chance 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.720 death America, death to Israel. If he means it, that 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:38.200 capability to destroy Israel and to terrorize the world is 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.800 being lost every day. The I too was dead, his 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.560 son is virtually dead. The number of the Chief Security 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.360 Enforcer is dead. We're on track to do something historic. 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.960 Give the present a little more time. But to all 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:55.800 those naysayers, if you don't believe we were disclosed within 0:14:55.840 --> 0:15:00.160 a tick of a clock to Alan having ten nuclear weapons, 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.600 you just are in denial. They were, and thank god Trump, 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.080 Pushner and Wickcough found out what they're up to and 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.240 Trump stopped them. So to anybody that everyone wants to 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.240 be president and they say that this was not a 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.080 justified military action, they should not allowed to be anywhere 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.880 near the Oval office. When you sit at that desk, 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.440 like President Trump, the buck stops there. That's what Harry 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.560 Truman said. It was his call. He made the right call. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.000 If he had not made that call, we would be 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.520 living with a newker armed iron as I speak, and 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.280 that would terrorize the world. Forever, and I can't think 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.880 of a worse outcome for the Arab world and the 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.400 civilized world. So I'm going to stop with President Trump. 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.960 This is going to be weeks, not months, and when 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.440 this is over, we're going to have peace like we 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:50.600 never envisioned before, because Ron will be off the table, finally, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.600 after nineteen since nineteen seventy nine, the largest age sponsor 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.520 of terrorism. Their days are numbered in terms of wreaking 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.680 havoc on the region. And when they get weakened, peace 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.960 will breakout. Just remember what I said, When the Iatolas 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.120 regime is further weakened, peace breaks out. 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.400 Senordal Lindsay Graham, South Carolina. Appreciate you being with us, 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:32.880 quick break right back. We'll continue on the other side. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:46.960 Working every day to remember the forgotten man. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.520 This is the Sean Hannity Show. 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.800 Alright, twenty five down til the top of the hour, 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.920 eight hundred and nine point one, Sean, if you want 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.120 to be a part of the program, all right, let's 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:01.480 get to the beautiful blue socialist topia known as Minnesota. 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.360 Jason, how are you glad you called? 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:03.800 Hey? 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:08.800 John the first time caller. Well, people leaven their states 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.080 because of taxes. You know, it's kind of like, uh, 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:16.600 leaving a battle. I guess that's on my mind. And 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.919 the businesses, you know, they're getting tax more. I know 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:23.320 that it's hard to do, but when people just get 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.440 up and leave and just move out of their state, 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.160 it's kind of like not fighting for it. I guess what. 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.960 Do you expect billionaires in Silicon Valley to do when 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.120 they're paying the highest taxes already in the entire country, 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:40.280 and now they have a referendum that will be retroactive 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:45.120 to January of this year, and they're gonna get then 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.160 the government will come in and rob five percent of 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.080 what they've been able to save after they paid taxes. 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.440 What do you say to the people in New York 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.840 If Momdani has his way, he's going to lower the 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:02.920 estate tax threshold from seven point five million to seven 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.040 hundred and fifty thousand, which you can't even buy a 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.360 closet as an apartment for seven hundred and fifty thousand 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:10.959 for the most part in New York. I don't think 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.639 you can get one for that amount of money. You 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.200 work hard, you save your money, you pay your taxes. 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.400 You're paying city taxes in that case, you're paying state taxes. 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.320 In that case, you're paying federal taxes about fifty seven 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.080 cents or six close to sixty cents of every dollar 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.600 already goes to the government. Now, Mom, Donnie wants to 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:32.959 put more taxes on people that he defines as rich. Sorry, 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.800 but if you make half a million dollars in New York, 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:39.239 you're not exactly rich. You're just not. I'm giving you 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.360 the reality. Most people are like rolling their eyes. Well 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:42.840 that's a lot of money. Yeah it is, but not 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:47.040 in New York. It's just not. And so then he's 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.320 going to take he's going to put a whopping fifty 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:55.280 percent of state tax on New York City residents on 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.840 top of the ten percent of state tax at sixty percent, 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.720 on top of the federal state tax or death tax. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.119 That's forty percent. Now do the math for me. 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:07.399 How much money do you get to pass on to 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.439 your children, your grandchildren charity? This is money you've already 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:14.600 been taxed on. If they take forty percent federal, ten state, 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.840 fifty city, how much is that? 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:18.640 Can you help me out? That's simple math. 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.080 Yeah, I understand it all Sean. 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:26.080 One hundred percent. It's it's every penny you've ever saved. 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.480 Why would you stay and try to fix stupid and all? 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.119 I just hate to see. I think it's their plan 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.280 is like tax everybody right out of a state. Then 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:42.360 they just take everything over and pretty soon it's uh. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.840 That's the thing. Anyone that wants to stay in those states, 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:47.320 they can. Here's the thing. If Americans move in mass 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.439 I have a different view. My advice is get out 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:54.800 before the twenty thirty census, and my advice is to 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.159 pack these red states and make them redder, you know, 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.280 move to states that are more marginal and a little 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.440 more difficult to win. Moved to Georgia. Moved to North Carolina, 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.480 you know. Moved to Texas. They keep targeting Texas. Moved 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.160 to Florida, my free state, if you want the whole 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:15.000 Encelada the best state I think in the country. And 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:20.119 there are other great states, places like Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:22.800 the Carolina is They're just great places and the people 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:26.440 a nicer. I'm telling you from my personal experience, and 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:30.439 the way of life is better. 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:31.560 You know. 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.120 Look, I've lived I grew up in Long Island, New York. 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:39.000 I lived in Rhode Island five years, California five years, Huntsville, 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.320 Alabama two years, Georgia four years, then went back to 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:44.040 New York when I got hired a Fox, and I've 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.439 been now. I'm three years down in Florida, and I 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.800 love having moved around as much as I have. It's 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:52.159 the best thing I ever did in my life, A 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.199 great life experience. I know some people are kind of 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.359 set in their ways and maybe fearful of things. Don't 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:02.399 be fearful in your life, you know, be adventuresome and 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:04.440 you're going to find your money goes a lot further. 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:08.919 New York City's proposed budget under Kami Mumdani is higher 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:13.240 than the entire state of Florida. Now, to me, that's 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:17.119 misappropriation of taxpayer dollars, a waste of money, a waste 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:21.359 of taxes. They have the crummiest infrastructure, the worst services, 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.040 and a mayor that doesn't even believe in law and order, 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.440 and a mayor that hires virulently anti Semitic people around him, 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.879 as far as I'm concerned, and his wife applauded, you know, 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:36.919 seventy times on social media post praising October seventh. No thanks, 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:40.240 it's my values are not in sync with that place anymore. 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.280 Yeah, I just the thought of them just being able 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:48.480 to tax everybody are their state, then they can just 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:49.480 spread and spread. 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:53.159 I'm just we'll have bigger margins in red states, and 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.760 they're going to lose congressional seats and they're going to 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:59.800 lose electoral votes because they've chased everybody away. I say 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.600 to everybody, if you can move, do it now, dude, 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.879 sooner rather than later, especially with the shifting economy and 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:09.280 new jobs coming online, and we're going to start, you know, 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:15.480 when manufacturing begins in earnest and energy jobs come online. 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.679 As they come online in a big way, we're going 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:21.200 to make those opportunities available to people. And we'll maybe 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.360 bring on some of the CEOs of these companies because 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:25.159 they're going to want to hire great people and it 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.639 might be a good opportunity for many of you in 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:31.120 this audience. Look, I only care about my audience here. 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:34.240 I want you to know something. You know, the people 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:36.840 that are loyal to the show, I'm grateful because you 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.000 gave me a life I never deserved, and I want 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.240 to try and give back and make your life better. 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:47.160 And I'm telling you these states are they are spiraling downward, 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:49.520 and I don't think you can save them. Your state 0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:52.960 is gone. It's over. And if you want to stay 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.880 and fight, I admire you. Mark Simone and Curtis Sleewer. 0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:59.960 They're staying in New York, but I think they're not. 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:05.800 What's North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Texas. They're calling anyway, 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:08.240 my friend. Appreciate the call. Thank you for being with us. 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:11.200 All right, back to our busy phones.
