1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad you with us. It is day three hundred.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Etch this into your brain cell and that means too, well,

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: what is basically America and the entire world on the brink. Well,

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: let's not be so serious about it or anything. It's

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: not like this is a real tipping point election. I

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: thought we've had many tipping point elections in our history.

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: But this is it. Three hundred days until election day,

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: and that means you, we the people, We the people

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: of the United States of America, get to render the

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: final decision on the future direction of the country. Fascinating day.

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: I watched the president's remarks, thought they were pitch perfect.

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: One of the most amazing things in all of this

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: is well, part of this is predictable, part of it

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: is not. The part that's predictable is there's nothing Donald

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: Trump can do that the mob and the media, the

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Democrats will ever ever, ever, ever, ever, ever ever ever

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: alike or support taking out solo money. I mean when

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: you have David Petray so I have such deep respect

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: for this is bigger than Ben Lauden. And here's why.

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: But look, most people don't follow events in the Middle

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: East as closely as our national security team has to.

22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: That's that's why we try to hire the best people

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: in the case of a president to be the commander

24
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: in chief. Were we're not monitoring, and we don't have

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: to monitor, and we're blessed that we don't have to

26
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: monitor because we live our lives and we do our

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: thing every day and we're off, you know, doing what

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: it is that we do, and that's usually work our

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: twelve fourteen, sixteen hours a day. And we're responsible, law abiding,

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: god fearing, gun toting, irredeemable, deplorable, smelly Walmart shoppers. I guess,

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: but what do we do. We take care of our families.

32
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: We get our kids up, we feed them, We shuffle

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: some coffee down our throat. We work, we run out

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: or work. We pay our taxes. You know, we try

35
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: and build a better life for ourselves, our kids and

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: future generations. And that's what Americans do, and all of

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: us in some capacity, we're all in the service industry.

38
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: You're either creating goods of services for other people, whatever

39
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: it happens to be, and in the process you make

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: a horrible thing called a profit. And the profit allows

41
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: you to pay the contractor that built your home, the

42
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: electrician and put the electrical wiring in, and the plumbers

43
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: that put the plumbing in, and the way our economy rolls, which,

44
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: by the way, we have good numbers in the economy

45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: today that I'll get to at some point today. What

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: I liked about the President's speech today, and this is

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: the predictability part, is the mob in the media and

48
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: the Democrats. Nothing he does will ever satisfy them. The

49
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: part that was I think very very clear needs to

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: be very clear to the American people and perhaps unpredictable

51
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: to them. And maybe because of the cartoon caricature of

52
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: a president that the mob and Democrats have created, is

53
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: I think they would have preferred Donald Trump when two

54
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: drones were taken out of the air, that he would

55
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: have fought back. Then. I'm not taking this boom because

56
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: while he's so uncontrollable on Twitter, well, Twitter is not

57
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: launching weapons at a foreign country. Or when the tankers

58
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: were being pirated and hijacked by the Iranians in the

59
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: Straits of hoor Moose. We're thirty percent of the world's lifeblood,

60
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: of the world's economy, oil passes through. You can't allow

61
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: the Iranians to take over the straits or moves strategically,

62
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: geo politically, this is of such heightened importance. One of

63
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: the best things the President philighted today's well beyond the

64
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Obama Biden bad deal is our need to be energy independent,

65
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: and we're now the number one producer of oil in

66
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: the world today, No thanks to the New Green Deal

67
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: or Obama and Biden. But when the President could have

68
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: acted after the drones were shot down they're pretty expensive,

69
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: he didn't. When the President could have engaged after the

70
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: tankers were being pirated and held hostage by the Iranians,

71
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: he did not. Then either, when the Saudi oil fields,

72
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: they make no mistake. That was. As much as I'm

73
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: not a fan of Saudi Arabia, anyone that's listened to

74
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: this program knows, I'm not particularly fond of their treatment

75
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: of women, gays, lesbians, their human rights record as atrocious.

76
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Life under Sharia law in Saudi Arabia is not exactly

77
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: compatible with the values we hold dear in this country

78
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: of freedom. But with that said, it was an unprovoked

79
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: attack against the Saudi's lifeblood of their oil production. Now,

80
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: the purpose of which was to disrupt the free flow

81
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: of oil market prices and frankly to increased their profit

82
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: share of oil in the world marketplace by taking out

83
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: one of their competitors production capabilities. The President didn't act

84
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: then either. The President was very clear, if you're kill

85
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: an American, that's it. Well, the end of December, it

86
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: was either the twenty sixth or the twenty seventh. At

87
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: the end might have been the twenty sixth. Reported on

88
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: the twenty seventh they killed the American contractor outside of

89
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: kirk Koot. And then and by the way, Solo many

90
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: up to his eyeballs and all of this I laid

91
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: out in detail on this program right here yesterday, and

92
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: I'll do more tonight on Hannity. I did some last night,

93
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: the brutality of their version of these IEDs and how

94
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: potent and deadly and at just evil incarnate. That was

95
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: all Solomny killing hundreds of Americans in Iraq. So the

96
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: President drew that line in the sand. American contractor killed old.

97
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: Then we had the the military guys also injured severely

98
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: in that attack. And then we've got the embassy being attacked.

99
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: And what is that. That's American sovereign territory. This is

100
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: Americans in a foreign land. But there are family that's

101
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: our citizens, and you don't get to attack America here

102
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: or abroad, and we will protect our family, our fellow Americans.

103
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: Unlike Benghazi, when they did nothing and innocent people died needlessly,

104
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 1: and heroes a mile away begging to go, We're told

105
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: three times at least to stand down. We had Mark

106
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: Eist on the program a week ago last Friday, and

107
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: they went anyway. And in the end, they're the ones

108
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: that saved dozens of American lives that day in Benghazi,

109
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: and thank god, they risked their life and through their

110
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: career to the wind and said the hell with you,

111
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna go fight for our fellow Americans. And they

112
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: were effective at fighting back. So we weren't going to

113
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: have that happen again. And that was another line in

114
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: the sand. You know what, the idea that you cannot

115
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: even give the president credit in this particular case for

116
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: killing Solomony, it just speaks volumes about who these democrats

117
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: and members of the media mob are. David Petrea saying

118
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: it's bigger than Ben Lauden. Think about that. General Petreas

119
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: is an American war hero. He's also I know him.

120
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: He's a brilliant guy. He's somebody that I think very

121
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: seriously when he speaks out. And so the president then acted.

122
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: Now imagine if the president didn't act. Let's just imagine

123
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: this for a second. Six months from now, a year

124
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: from now, whatever a rand does in the interim, we

125
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: find out somebody in the intelligence the one percent, not

126
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: the ninety nine percent, the distinction I make all the time,

127
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: but the one leaks out, Oh, we had a clean

128
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: shot at Baghdad Airport against Solomni and we didn't take it. Colnextually,

129
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: why didn't Donald Trump take the shot? He can't win

130
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: for losing here, so he did the right thing and

131
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: the Iranians. Now this is where it gets fascinating what

132
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: happened last night. I'll use the Business Insider piece, but

133
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: it's fairly if you know anything about the specific ballistic weapons.

134
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: By the way, these are the real deal weapons. These

135
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: weapons can hit the head of a pin at whatever

136
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, long distances they're following leaving outside the orbit.

137
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the real deal. These are real

138
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: weapons that are known to be really, really accurate. Now,

139
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: the way Business Insider put it is, Iranian authorities are

140
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: refusing to hand over a flight recorder recovered from Wednesday's

141
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: plane crash. I ran to the bow plane manufactured, et cetera,

142
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: et cetera. But here's the interesting part of it. Did

143
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: the Iranians purposefully miss Hannity or you're like like Area

144
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: fifty one, Rosvo Rachel Maddow conspiracy theorist. I don't know

145
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: the answer to it. I do know this. The weaponry

146
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: they have is known for its deadly accuracy. Now, the

147
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: other part of this that the only thing has gotten

148
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: enough play is a rack was given a heads up

149
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: we're about to start bombing these Air Force bass hand hand.

150
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: They were told ahead of time. Then we also have

151
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: our own warning systems, which the president referred to, and

152
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: so they do this for okay, we're gonna save face.

153
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: You took out our number two guy, the guy that

154
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: is you know, is you see a people are reacting

155
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: in Iran, and you know, fifty people die at a funeral.

156
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: How do you have fifty people die at a funeral

157
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: and dying to touch the casket of Solomoney or remains

158
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: whatever is left. I guess his hand was left because

159
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: they've identified him by the ring. And so is it

160
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: an accident that the fifteen missiles they fired ballistic missiles,

161
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: missed that they did just a little outside where it

162
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: was supposed to lead. It's a little hard for me

163
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: to believe. Do I know that? Can I say affirmatively no?

164
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: But I think it's a it's an educated guess that

165
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: this was for them about face saving. And more importantly,

166
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: it exposes something that I think everybody needs to understand,

167
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: and that is they fear Donald J. Trump as president.

168
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: Now over the weekend, if you're looking at any social

169
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: media and the people on Twitter, and people on Twitter

170
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: are just funny. Amen. Even the stuff they do about

171
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: me sometimes trashy me, it's funny. I mean, I love

172
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: when Ricky Gervais said to these Hollywood elite us, it's

173
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: a joke. Learn a laugh at yourself. If you're in

174
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: the public eye, you're gonna get hit. And they make

175
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, all sorts of jokes about me, memes about me.

176
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: I laugh at them when I see them because they're

177
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: genuinely funny. And there was one where it was a

178
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: picture of Solo money asking Donald Trump, hey, are you

179
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: gonna give us one hundred and fifty billion in money's

180
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: like Obama and Biden and then they have a Trump answering, Yeah,

181
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you the money. Just meet me at

182
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: the Bagdad Airport. This was a big deal. And the

183
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: unpredictability is everybody in the media mob wants you to

184
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: believe Donald Trump is unhinged, crazy, insane, unpredictable. He is unpredictable.

185
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: He's never going to be an establishment politician. We did

186
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: not elect it establishment politician. And everything seems to be

187
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: getting done and getting better. And that will be one

188
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: of the questions you ask yourself in three hundred days,

189
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: are you better off than you were four years ago?

190
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: And the answer and every level to me is yes.

191
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: And then, of course, did he lose any of his

192
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: support from twenty sixteen? I don't think so at all.

193
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: I think that you can thank Nancy Pelosi in the

194
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: insane Democrats in the media because they have only strengthened

195
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: the president's supporters. And I don't think he's ever gonna

196
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: poll well, so most of the polls that we'll even

197
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: talk about are useless. But putting all that aside, the

198
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: President today showed everybody that pieced through strength works the era.

199
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: You know, what is the Trump doctrine? Think about it?

200
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want war. We're definitely not

201
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: getting im protracted wars anymore. I'm gonna beat the Caliphate,

202
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: but I'm going to do it from the sky. And

203
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: he did it because our weaponry is getting more sophisticated

204
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: every single day, thank god, and we need to continue

205
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: down that road. Then, so he beats the Caliphate and

206
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: he reacts to Syria with the red line that Obama

207
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: had crossed and didn't follow through on. Then what's the

208
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: rest of the doctrine that you're killing American, You're gonna

209
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: get hit hard, You're killing American. That's his line. No

210
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: long protracted war, no boots on the ground. I don't

211
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: want any of that because these idiots in the swamp

212
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: they don't know how to fight wars anymore. They put

213
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: handcuffs on people, especially on military rules of engagement, and

214
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: then they want to put him in jail if they

215
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: didn't follow it perfectly in the second that they have

216
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: to decide. So he beat back, and our great intelligence

217
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: look at what a success. They knew where he was.

218
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: He was on a commercial flight and bagged at airport,

219
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: and they military nailed his ass. And the President made

220
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: the call that is Donald Trump doctrine here it is

221
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: like everything else, Donald Trump, It's not complicated. They make

222
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: it complicated about to momb but when we just want

223
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: you to take cover where you need propaganda purposes USA. Today,

224
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: US officials had advanced warning of Iran's missile assault. The

225
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: damage to Iraqi bases apparently not much of anything, and

226
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: apparently the Iraqis themselves were additionally warned, we're about to

227
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: do this. Why because they needed some propaganda purposes, But

228
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: not a single call back. I love Nancy Blow, I'll

229
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: call him back. She put her house business and dinner

230
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: apparently ahead of Mike Pence's call about the attack. That

231
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: they complained that they don't get a heads up on um.

232
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: You know, then you got to Jeremy Corbyn, US killing

233
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: of Solomoni illegal, you know, okay whatever, It is an

234
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: amazing thing, and we all ought to be grateful tonight

235
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: and today that the President number one said Iran will

236
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. And I'm

237
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: pleased to inform you the American people should be extremely

238
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: grateful and happy. No Americans were harmed and last night's

239
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: attacked by the Iranian regime, we suffered no casualties. All

240
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: of our soldiers are safe and only minimal damage was

241
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: a state at our military bases. Our great American forces

242
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: are prepared for anything. We need to be thankful for

243
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: these men and women. They're amazing. Well more on the

244
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: other side. All right, twenty five now until the top

245
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one sewn.

246
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program. I mean,

247
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: just amazing events unfolding here. The mob is out of

248
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: their minds. They are so out of touch with we

249
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: Smelly Walmart Trump voters is it's a spectacular disconnect on

250
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: so many levels. I'll get to that in a minute.

251
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: So I want to go over some other news before

252
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: you get back to this. Obviously our top story today,

253
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: there are mixed reports here. I'm looking at political for example,

254
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: and Democrats are now finally acknowledging that their efforts to

255
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: extract the concessions from Mitch McConnell and the House and

256
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi being able to dictate what the Senate does

257
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: and the process is yeah, that's not very tenable. And

258
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: they go on to say the longer it goes on,

259
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: the less urgent it becomes, said Senator Diane Feinstein. So

260
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: if it's serious and urgent, send them over. If it's

261
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: if it isn't, don't send it over. Several other Senate Democrats,

262
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: also showing their impatience with the Democratic leader's strategy, mentioned

263
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: saying that they should Democrats should move on turn the

264
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: articles to the Senate, and John Tester said he's ready

265
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: for the trial to start. So we need to get

266
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: folks ready to testify. We need more information, but nonetheless

267
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I don't know what leverage we have. It

268
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: looks like the cake is already baked. I respect the

269
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: fact that she's concerned about the fact whether or not

270
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: there's going to be a quote fair trial. Now, remember

271
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer was saying, they're on the Clinton peach. I'm

272
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: not fair, I'm not objective, and McConnell rightly is calling

273
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: Pelosi's bluff. She doesn't get to dictate. Now, the Senators

274
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: pretty much have agreed that they'll do it the way

275
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: they did it with Clinton. Okay, you have your house

276
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: managers present your case. We already know what the case is.

277
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: They're not gonna get all their hearsay witnesses and opinion witnesses,

278
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: and they're so called constitutional expert witnesses in they have

279
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: one fact witness, and that one fact witness said, now

280
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: he asked for nothing, no quid pro quo. It's the

281
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: biggest waste, you know what it is. It's beginning to

282
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: be said. It's just hurts the country. Let's put it

283
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: that way. And they obviously don't care. But they're gonna

284
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: end up folding in the end because they have to.

285
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: They're going to be more articles of impeachment. Who could

286
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: predict These people are nuts. They don't even that solo

287
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: monies as dark and evil as we get on the

288
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: planet today, they don't even you care about that. McConnell's

289
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: ready to start the trial without any deal on any witnesses,

290
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: nor should he make a deal, And you got the

291
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: slate piece out. Democrats are mobilizing their plan to lose

292
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: the impeachment trial. The strategy to beat Mitch McConnell starts

293
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: with letting him win. Oh okay, and then they'll make

294
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: a big deal. Well, we needed this witness, we need

295
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: that witness. Well, that was the House's job to impeach

296
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: the Senate. Then lets the House present what they found.

297
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: We don't start. It's not the Senate's role to do

298
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: their job, but that's what they wanted. Well, if we

299
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: gotta hear from John Bolton, Okay, what if John Bolton

300
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: and I didn't like the way he exited the White House.

301
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: I've been friends with John Bolton for a long time.

302
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: But John Bolton, whatever issues existed, rumors are between him

303
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: and mulvaney or him and Pompeio. I don't know anything about.

304
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't get into palace intrigue in any of this crap.

305
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, what if he

306
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: happens to say, no, there was no quid pro quel. Okay,

307
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: it's over, and there is something his executive privilege that

308
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: probably is going to be fought out in the courts

309
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: before he ultimately ever decides anyway, in spite of recent

310
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: comments that he might have made. But we'll see. I mean,

311
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: I have no inside knowledge on that, so we'll see

312
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: what happened. As the shift show he's trying to get back.

313
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: He now wants to subpoena more people. I'm like, oh, okay,

314
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: none of this makes sense to anybody. You know what

315
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: it is, don't. Republicans need not lend credibility to what

316
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: is insanity? And an abusive power and democratic corruption. They

317
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: ought not be a part of that. And that's what's

318
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: obvious in this case. Just like the obstruction charge. Well,

319
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: they claimed executive privilege like every other administration. So we're

320
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: going to say because you claimed it and you sought

321
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: remedy in the with the judicial branch of government, there

322
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: for that substruction. No, that would be when there's a

323
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: conflict between the executive branch and legislative branch, you do

324
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: seek remedy with the judicial branch, but not that any

325
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: of that matters. Really a big beat down on Biden

326
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: from Obama's former Defense secretary Robert Gates, you know, saying

327
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: that Trump's decision to take out terrorist mastermind Solo Money

328
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: was quote the Biden had said it was dangerously incompetent,

329
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: and the Secretary of Defense, Gates said, I think Joe

330
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: Biden has been wrong on nearly every foreign policy and

331
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: national security issue over the past four decades. Send in

332
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: your memoir, Joe Biden is impossible not to like. Quote.

333
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: He's a man of integrity and capable of hiding what

334
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: he really thinks, and one of those rare people you

335
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: know you could turn to for help in a personal crisis. Still,

336
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: I think he's been wrong on nearly every major foreign

337
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: policy and national security issue over the past four decades.

338
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: Would he be an effective commander in chief? I don't know.

339
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I stand by that statement.

340
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: He and I agreed on some key issues in the

341
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: Obama administration. We disagreed significantly on Afghanistan and some other issues.

342
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: I think that the vice president had some issues with

343
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: the military, So how he would get along with the

344
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: senior military and what that relationship would be, I just

345
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: I think it would depend on the personalities at the time. Yeah,

346
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's it depended on the personalities

347
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: at the time. That's about the nicest way you can say.

348
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: I think he'd be horrible that you can think of

349
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: one of the thing. And this is something to pay

350
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: attention to. Again. Three hundred days we promised the best

351
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: election coverage available in your radio and TV dials, and

352
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: we are dialed in and we are locked in on

353
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: everything that's happening. So we hope you'll stay with us.

354
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: And we have Joe Lieberman today and Bill O'Reilly and

355
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: Lindsey grahanamall coming up. Anyway, the census Bureau and the

356
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: i RS release state population growth and income migration data

357
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: for the twenty eighteen Now, this is an amazing thing.

358
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: Do you see a mass exitus from high tax to

359
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: low tax states accelerating? Four states lost population since twenty ten.

360
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: West Virginia, Illinois, Vermont, Connecticut states experienced declines. Last year,

361
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: New York lost one hundred and eighty thousand people leaving

362
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: for better business and other climates. Over the last decade,

363
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: New York has lost more of its popular other states

364
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: seven point two percent, other than Alaska, which kind of

365
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: rough to live in Alaska. I've admire people that do it.

366
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated with all those Alaska shows on reality shows

367
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: on TV. I watch them all the time. Illinois six

368
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: point eight, Connecticut five point six, New Jersey five point five.

369
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: We've already pointed out California. You know, it's twenty one

370
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: hundred bucks to go to La to Texas, and it's

371
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: about three or four hundred to go from Texas to California. Why,

372
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: because you're doing you haul of favor if you take

373
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: it back. One other follow up piece of news before

374
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: we get back to our top story, and that has

375
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: to do with Nicholas Sandman, remember the coming and high

376
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: school kid that did everything right, trash smeared, slandered, besmirched,

377
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: bloodied up by the mob that always rushes to judgment. Well,

378
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: this time Fake News CNN is paying. What did I

379
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: tell you? I think by the time this kid has

380
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: done with Lynnwood is his an attorney. And I've known

381
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: lynn Wood. He was Richard Jules attorney Lynnwood. Not only

382
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: is it a great guy, he really is. He doesn't

383
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: need the money. He's doing this because he is a

384
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: champion against the slander and libel that the mob and

385
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: the media gets away with. Well, the first settlement has

386
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: come in. Now they didn't give the figure, but Nicholas

387
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: Sandman was suing Fake News CNN for two hundred and

388
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars and the amount of the settlement.

389
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: And typical that's usually when you have any type of settlement,

390
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: it's as some confidentiality agreement, nondisclosure agreement, whatever, that's the law.

391
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: You make the agreement, you take the money. But so

392
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: they agreed not to tell everybody how much they paid.

393
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: My interpretation is that means they paid a hell of

394
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: a lot. I would bet and I'm guessing I have

395
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: no inside knowledge, I would not be surprised at one

396
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars or more paid by fake news CNN.

397
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: They were that guilty because even after the facts were known,

398
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: they kept going and going and going and digging deeper

399
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: and deeper and deeper and deeper. And now then you

400
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: got the other lawsuits that are out there. My buddy

401
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: Mark Levine had lynnwood on last year, and you know,

402
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: there was probably more vicious in their direct attacks on

403
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: Nicholas and the Washington Post. But he's suing the Washington Post,

404
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: and he's suing NBC Universal, and I'm guaranteeing that probably

405
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: a lot of other people are being sued as well,

406
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: just not being announced as as quickly and expeditiously. So

407
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: I think that is pretty amazing. Oh, by the way,

408
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: there's pictures of Bill Clinton aboard the Lolita Express. The

409
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: UK Son has obtained photos of Clinton traveling on the

410
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: Lolita Express loops Daisy seen smiling on the steps of

411
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: the plane next to this woman just laying maxwell astonishing

412
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: pictures that they picked up by the sun. Why do

413
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: I think that this is going to get bigger and

414
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger. I don't even know what to say

415
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: about the mob and the media, except they they're so

416
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: out of touch now with we the people and obsessed

417
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: with their psychosis. They're lying their conspiracy theories. I don't

418
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: think they can ever get over it. The best thing

419
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: that can happen in three hundred days is that the

420
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: words that either in three hundred days or the next day,

421
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: three hundred one days, early in the morning, we can

422
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: now project Donald J. Trump has been reelected the forty

423
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: fifth president of the United States. I mean, I could

424
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: literally see them having heart attacks on the air. It

425
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: will shock the world. We think the shock the world

426
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: the last time. They're going to be shocked again. They

427
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: won't be able to I don't think they'll be able

428
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: to deal with it. FAA has banned flights over Iraq

429
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: and Ran anyway, you have Area fifty one Roswell Rachel

430
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: Maddow's channel literally airing baseless Iranian propaganda about dead US soldiers.

431
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: You know, the Republic had killed thirty American military members. Yeah,

432
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: Chris Matthews brought in their Tehran bureau chief repeating the

433
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: Iranian propaganda claims to NBC Conspiracy TV's national audience. We're

434
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: getting reports now second wave I rocket attacks have been launched,

435
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: and the IRGC saying the Ayatollah Commanee, the Supreme Leader,

436
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: was in control and this but I'm not a bit

437
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: surprised as sure about this before sharing the unverified propaganda claims.

438
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: But Iran state media is claiming thirty US soldiers have

439
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: been killed in this attack. And there's a source for everybody.

440
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: Let's use the Iranians as our source. And you got

441
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: fake news CNN. They gave a platform to the spokeswoman

442
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: for the nineteen seventy nine US embassy hostage takers to

443
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: push Iranian propaganda. They conducted a lengthy interview with an

444
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: Iranian government official who once served as the spokeswoman for

445
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: the group of students who held fifty two diplomatic Americans

446
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: hostage over four hundred and forty four days. You have

447
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: Christian Almampor doing little to push back on the assertions

448
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: that the US carried out a terrorist attack by killing

449
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: the terrorists Solomani. You got you know, MSNBC, Conspiracy TV,

450
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: Chris Hayes. War with Iran is madness, strategically and morally

451
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: a disaster. Well, it's not that choice, it's not. Oh,

452
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: we have to go to war with Iran. Never was

453
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: that choice President, you know, it was very clear President

454
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: showed more restraints. This is what drives him crazy. He's

455
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: not the cartoon that they actually would probably have convinced

456
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: themselves that he is, or the caricature Scarborough. He has

457
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: to bring it to Russia or Joe. I used to

458
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: like Joe hard to believe Trump would launch ran attacks

459
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: without speaking first to Putin. I mean, you can't make

460
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: the you got fake news a costa Iran missile attack

461
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: exactly what foreign policy and national security analysts have feared

462
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: after the strike on the terrorists Solomany. Why don't they

463
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: give the history of Solomany like we've done on this show,

464
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: and we did last night on Hannity Gambling with Lives

465
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: a costa fake news, Acosta claiming Trump had a dangerous

466
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: night at the casino, and CNNPBS host I'm on poor

467
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: more defiance too, well, I'm sorry, excuse me, more deference

468
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: to the Iranian VP than our own secretary of state

469
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: and you just can't make that. That's how sick. This

470
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: is now all gotten with them New York Times defending

471
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: Soulomni Iran is in mourning oh, George Lopez fantasizing. Breitbart

472
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: has three times about killing Trump. Unbelievable. This is the

473
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: state of news. It's not news. This is state run TV, democratic,

474
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: state run TV. This is this is what's at stake

475
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: in three hundred days. Hard to imagine three hundred days.

476
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: These years have gone by fast, haven't they fast? And

477
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: look at all the success, Look at all the success.

478
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: Thank God for success. We're gonna get sick of winning.

479
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sick of winning. You know. The presidents has

480
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: some funny lines. He goes a letter, A letter was

481
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: a perfect it's a perfect letter. You're gonna win so

482
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: much you'll be sick of winning. See them, they're all

483
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: fake news, fake news. CNN sucks. It's hilarious. That's horrible.

484
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: That's horrible. That's so horrible. It's not horrible, it's funny.

485
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: But thank God, our our brave men and women are safe.

486
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: I am thankful for that. We have a lot to

487
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: thank God for. We live in the greatest country God

488
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: gave man, and the greatest fighting force in the face

489
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: of the earth, and the greatest intelligence people the ninety nine,

490
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: and we even have the greatest law enforcement arm the FBI,

491
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: of them, but you know, it looks like they may

492
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: have sabotaged their own missile attack, which is pretty amazing.

493
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: Michael Pragent is his name. A former Army intel officer

494
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency. He thinks last night's

495
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: missile strike was basically staged to appease Iranian hardliners back home,

496
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: but they were afraid of Trump. As long as I'm

497
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed

498
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: to have a nuclear weapon. Good morning. I'm pleased to

499
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: inform you the American people should be extremely grateful and happy.

500
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: No Americans were harmed last night's attack by the Iranian regime.

501
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: We suffered no casualties, All of our soldiers are safe,

502
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: and only minimal damage was sustained at our military basis.

503
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears

504
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: to be standing down, which is a good thing for

505
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world.

506
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: No American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the

507
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: precautions taken the dispersal forces, and an early warning system

508
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: that worked very well. I salute the incredible skill and

509
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: courage of America's men and women in uniform for far

510
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: too long, all the way back to nineteen seventy nine

511
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: to be exact, nations have tolerated Iran's destructive and stabilizing

512
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over.

513
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: Iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism in their

514
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. We will

515
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: never let that happen. There's the President speaking earlier today.

516
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: Now there is an update Trey Yanks, who's been doing

517
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: the local Baghdad coverage for Fox, confirming that rocket fire

518
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: into Baghdad's green zone has occurred. We don't know where

519
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: it came from or another report, and again I've not

520
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: been able to confirm this. Three Catusha rockets landed inside

521
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: the green zone. You know, there's so many different terror

522
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: groups that probably want to piggyback on the and again

523
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm speculating at this part. So I want to be

524
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: very clear and distinct. Here breaking news on Twitter that

525
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: two rockets believed to have fallen into Baghdad's green zone.

526
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: No word on any damage or injuries. Wouldn't surprise me,

527
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: copycat type of crimes, etc. But anyway, Senator Lindsey Graham

528
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: joins US Senator Great to talk to you. I know

529
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: you've been in meetings all day about intelligence and what

530
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: we knew leading up to the killing of Solomani. I'm

531
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: not sure what you think of this news. That's kind

532
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: of breaking. I don't want to make too much of

533
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: it unless I know more. Well, let's start with a

534
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: briefing today. The chairman Milly, who I've known for years,

535
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: made the most compelling case that the intelligence regarding Sulimani

536
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: was real time imminent attacks in a window of days,

537
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: no specific target, but the embassy was under assault. A

538
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: contractor had been killed. Sulimani was directing the forces that

539
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: killed the contractor. He was directing the forces that were

540
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: attacking their embassy. We caught him red hand did talking

541
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 1: to the head of the Shield militia about another wave

542
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: of attacks that were coming in the near future, that

543
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: we're going to be widespread. The CIA backed him up.

544
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: My Democratic colleagues have lost their mind when it comes

545
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: to Trump. I hope none of them ever get in

546
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: charge of our national security. A third grader would have

547
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: been convinced that we had to do something. Now you

548
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: can make an argument about what that something is, but

549
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: Sulemani was the brainchild of the embassy attack. He was

550
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: the brainchild of the attack on our contractor. He's been

551
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: the brainchild of attack on Americans for over twenty years.

552
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: And Moore was coming our way. And I am a

553
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: thousand percent convinced that the intelligence here was far better

554
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,959
Speaker 1: than it was where Ben Ladden was at. What didn't

555
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: you think of David Petraeus's comments when he thought this

556
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: is bigger than Ben Ladden and begged Daddy and they

557
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: explained why now? And I need to point this out,

558
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: I think he said on TV last night. Now, you'd

559
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: been in a rack and Africa Anistan fifty seven times,

560
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: so I know you know and have known as I

561
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: have even known, and many others that follow incidents and

562
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: everything going on in the region about Solomoni and the

563
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: Kood's forces for a long time, and his role in

564
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: killing Americans, which I described in great depth and detail

565
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: here on this program yesterday last night on TV. I

566
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: mean depravity and evil of this man. It shocks the

567
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: conscience and soul of any decent human being. So what

568
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: we did is take off the battlefield permanently the heart

569
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: and soul of the revolutionary movement in Iran, the Ayatola

570
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 1: is the supreme leader. He's the keeper of the faith.

571
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: But the heart and soul of the military movement for

572
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: the last twenty years has been Sulamani. He's the right

573
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: hand in the fifth of the Eyetola. He operates outside

574
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: the normal military chain of command in Iran, reports directly

575
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: to the Aetola. Since two thousand and seventeen, he has

576
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: been more aggressive. We've got him on record saying a

577
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: war between the United States and Iran is inevitable. He

578
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: was the brain child, the brains, and the emotional support

579
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: network for the largest state sponsor of terrorism. He has gone.

580
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: Now what to expect. President Trump did something that is

581
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: a game changer. We went from playing poker with Iran

582
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: at ten dollars a hand a thousand dollars a hand.

583
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: That speech today was historic, It was compelling, and I

584
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: thought it was a home run. We've closed the chapter

585
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to Iran, and we've opened a news

586
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: We've closed one book and we're about to write another one.

587
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: The Trump doctrine is pretty simple. We will not tolerate

588
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: you being the largest state sponsor of terrorism any longer.

589
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: We will not tolerate you coming against Americans and our allies.

590
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: We're never going to give you a mean have an

591
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: eclipower program, and if you keep building missiles, you're you're

592
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: going to run into us. So the President today shine

593
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: change the game between US and Iran in a big way.

594
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: It is amazing to me because you know, people like

595
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: you and I understand completely the danger that exists in

596
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: this world today and the evil that exists in this

597
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: world today. And yet we both know that the swamp

598
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: where you work every day and you're I'm not saying

599
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: you're a part of it that has this history now

600
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: of sending people to war and then putting handcuffs on

601
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: them and rules of engagement, and then politicizing it and

602
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: then saying, oh, never mind, we can't have that, Senator.

603
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: We can't put our national treasure on the ground door

604
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: to door, nor do we need to. With the advancement

605
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: of the weaponry has occurred for this country. Also, I

606
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: think the point is well made here is what does

607
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: the Iranian regime want? Okay, they're the largest state sponsor

608
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: of terrorism, what does that mean? They're taking Shiite minorities

609
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: and majorities all over the Mideast, They're trying to radicalize them,

610
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: and they're arming them. They're trying to take over the

611
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: Iraqi government. They're trying to take over Lebanon. They're trying

612
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: to take over Damascus. Whine. They want a Shia crescent

613
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: from Tehran all the way to Damascus. They're trying to

614
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: spread their religion. They're evangelical in nature. They're trying to

615
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: spread their form of Shiism. They think the Sunnis are infidels,

616
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: like they thank you and I are infidels. Number two.

617
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: They want to destroy enemies of Islam, and the biggest

618
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: enemy of all is the state of Israel. So if

619
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: they get a nucle weapon, they will use it. Now,

620
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: people didn't believe Hitler wanted to kill all the Jews,

621
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: but he wrote a book and people just wrote off

622
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: the book as all talk. The regime has a stated

623
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: policy of toppling governments in the region to replace it

624
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: was she had dominated elements to destroy the stately visual

625
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: and to drive us out of the Mideast. They are

626
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: not kidding. The only thing stopping them is the lack

627
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: of capability. Donald Trump is going to have one hell

628
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: of a twenty twenty. What he's done is reset the

629
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: game with Iran. Here's what I worry about they will

630
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: get out of the JCPOA that was a bad deal anyway,

631
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: and they're going to start enriching at a very high

632
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: level and try to get a bomb in the next

633
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: coming months. If that happens, the President is going to

634
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: have to act. And I hope Democrats understand a nuclear

635
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: armed Iran is the worst nightmare for the civilized world.

636
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: This is the this is the million dollar question here.

637
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: And the President I loved how he walked out today

638
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: and the first thing he said, we will never tolerate

639
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: a nuclear armed RN hello before he said hello. And

640
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: by the way, we can't. It is because a squared

641
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: B squared to C squared. If you got this, and

642
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: we spoke about this last night, radicalism married to nuclear weapons.

643
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: We're talking about a modern day Holokay, as long as

644
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm President of the United States, Iran will never be

645
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Now this is a

646
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: million dollar question. How do we prevent that from happening

647
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: without at some point taking out the sites because it

648
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: just has to get done. Okay. So I think the

649
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: first thing the President's got to do is tell the

650
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: Congress what they'll never get a nuclear weapon means, explain

651
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: that what that means is if they start enriching uranium

652
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: at a certain level, then you can make a bomb

653
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: in months, not years. So we have to watch their

654
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: enrichment program. We have to set redlines, and we have

655
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: to tell the Iranians if you do X, Y and Z,

656
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: that's a provocation and we will take military action. He

657
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: needs to inform the Congress, don't let us off the hook.

658
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: He shouldn't have to do this by himself. He needs

659
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: to talk to the Israeli's what worries you to most

660
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 1: about enrichment in Iran. He needs to talk to the Arabs.

661
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: He needs to get everybody in the Mideast on the

662
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: same sheet of music and convey to the Ranians if

663
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: you start down this road of an enrichment, that will

664
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: be considered a hostile act and we will take action.

665
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: He needs to do that very soon. We need to

666
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: increase our presence in a rock We're lucky people didn't

667
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: get killed. Remember this talk last night that they intentionally

668
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 1: missed us. Yes, I'll talked. You don't believe that briefing.

669
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: I am a thousand percent, But those rockets are so precise, Senator,

670
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, we know their capability don't we.

671
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: I am telling you Sean, no, no, no no, listen, you

672
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: know more. I defer to you. You get to hear

673
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: information I don't. Is clear to me that these rockets

674
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: the reason they didn't kill Americans, it's because four of

675
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: them malfunctioned and we moved the people out of harm's way.

676
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: But we didn't have Patriot batteries there. We need to

677
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: harden our infrastructure inside of a rock because what do

678
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: we learn last night? They're coming after us. And to

679
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: those who believe they did not intend to hill Americans,

680
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: that is a bad assumption after what I heard today.

681
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: So where do we go from here? What about those

682
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: Totusha rockets reported now having They're just everything you just said.

683
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: These are one off groups. You got every nut job

684
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: and are trying to piggyba. So the Iranians used ballistic

685
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: missiles short range of nature, fired from their territory toward

686
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: our troops. We're fortunate nobody died in the president, why

687
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: did they warn Iraq? And obviously we have our own

688
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: early detection and I was we were We were fortunate

689
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: because of our intel and our capability that nobody was killed.

690
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: But let's just assume for a moment. We got a

691
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 1: reset here. The President gave them a chance to stand down.

692
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: I applaud him. Retaliating for the sake of retaliation is

693
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: not necessary. Here nobody got killed. I think we were fortunate.

694
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: Now what do we do going forward? I think we

695
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: harden our sites. What did the Ie told us say yesterday?

696
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: His goal is to drive us out of the Mideast?

697
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: Why can we not let that happen? When we were

698
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan, the Taliban took over and they planned

699
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: the attacks of nine to eleven from Afghan territory. If

700
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: we give over the mid East radical Islamic elements, it'll

701
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: only be a matter of time do they hit Israel

702
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: and come after us. So send our national security interests

703
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: to stay in place and to support our allies. So

704
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: the President is going to have to harden our infrastructure

705
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: and a rock to deter Iran from doing this again.

706
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: All right, as we continue sending a Lindsey Graham, all right,

707
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: we only have two minutes. You will be on Hannity

708
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: tonight and we have Joe Lieberman and O'Reilly coming up.

709
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: Explain the ballistic missile, and then what you think we

710
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: do going forward? Well, what we need to do is

711
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: make sure that if we respond, we respond in a

712
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: way to end this. We need to go after their

713
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: econom I MC targets, you know, knock out their ore

714
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: refineries if they keep escalating. But the site militias, in

715
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: my view, need to be understood as not directly controlled

716
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: by Ron per Se. Many of them are. I would

717
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: if I were the president, I would be I would

718
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,479
Speaker 1: make sure that I had to act before I act,

719
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: because the next time we act, we're gonna have a

720
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,959
Speaker 1: real shooting more with them with a run when we're

721
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: so based on what you're saying, your intel's just showing you.

722
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 1: I want to be very clear here. Yeah, the attack

723
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: on our embassy led by Solomoni was imminent. Well, it

724
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: was ongoing. There were another wave of attacks coming. He

725
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: was on the ground talking to the site leader about

726
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: a new round of attacks that were coming. In matter

727
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: of days, not weeks, we had the embassy ablaze. We

728
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: just lost a contractor, and the belief was he was

729
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: headed back to Tehran to execute the attack. Let's put

730
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: this way, if we didn't hit him, I imagine the

731
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: Democrats would be saying something else if we did lose

732
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: some people. Now, next question, which I think is very

733
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: very important, is you are convinced that last night it

734
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: was not by accident that they missed. You think they

735
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: were trying to kill Americans, which, by the way, if

736
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: that's the case, then then we're going to be at

737
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: war with these people in the sense not a traditional war. Well,

738
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: here's what President Trump did. He gave them a chance

739
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: to reset. I believe the target the attack last night,

740
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: where fortunate no Americans were killed. President Trump is smart

741
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: enough to allow a resetting. Here. We'll see if Aron

742
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: is smart enough to take it. These attacks in a

743
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: rock tonight are disturbing, but I think they're of a

744
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: different nature and character than the ones we experienced last night.

745
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: We need to be cautious, We need to watch, we

746
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: need not Senator Graham will be on TV tonight, Joe

747
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: Lieberman next, Bill O'Reilly coming up. Last week, we took

748
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: decisive action to stop a ruthless from threatening American lives.

749
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: At my direction, the United States military eliminated the world's

750
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 1: top terroist, Cassam Solomany. As the head of the Kudz Force.

751
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: Solomany was personally responsible for some of the absolutely worst atrocities.

752
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: He trained terrorist armies, including Hezbollah, launching terrorist strikes against

753
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: civilian targets. He fueled bloody civil wars all across the region.

754
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: He viciously wounded and murdered thousands of US troops, including

755
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: the planting of roadside bombs that maim and dismember they're victims.

756
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: Solomany directed the recent attacks on US personnel in Iraq

757
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: that badly wounded for service members and killed one American.

758
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: And he orchestrated the violent assault on the US embassy

759
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: in bag Dead In recent days, he was planning new

760
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: attacks on American targets, but we stopped him. Solomony's hands

761
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: were drenched in both American and Iranian blood. He should

762
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: have been terminated long ago. By removing Solomony, we have

763
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: sent a powerful message to terrorists, if you value your

764
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people.

765
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: All right, glad you with us twenty five now until

766
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. That was the president earlier today.

767
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 1: Amazing what the Iranians. This whole thing reveals so much

768
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: about who they are and the fear based regime that

769
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: exists there. Now, one of the sad parts in all

770
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: of this, you would think everybody would agree this is

771
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: a good thing. Maybe they don't go as far as

772
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: David Petreus, General Petreus thinking this is bigger than Ben

773
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: Laden This was a big deal. This guy helped form

774
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: his Bollah from the get go, you know, one of

775
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 1: the deadliest terrorist organizations. I went into chapter and verse

776
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: yesterday about the specific projectile I eds, the pernacious evil

777
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: that killed many Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. You know,

778
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: there has been so few in the media or in

779
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party the game just state the opposite obvious,

780
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: which is, thank god, this evil monster is dead. You know, Oh,

781
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: you have no right to do this. Now, bomba shot,

782
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight hundred drone shots Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan. Nobody says

783
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: a word. Donald Trump takes out Solomani. It's a big deal.

784
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: But one Democrat did speak out. We've been a friend

785
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: of this program for many, many years, although for years

786
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: he couldn't admit it publicly. Senator Joel Lieberman, formerly of

787
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: the I assume you're still in Connecticut and he has

788
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: the most wonderful wife in the world, hadassa who I

789
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: have no idea why she stays with this man. None.

790
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 1: You keep asking that question again because it's true. It

791
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,919
Speaker 1: makes it one of the mysteries of the universe. Home

792
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 1: how are you, Senator? Good to talk to you, guys,

793
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: good to talk to you, Sean, I honestly agree with

794
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: just about every word you just said. I'm glad to

795
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: be on the program. What a turn of events. So

796
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: the president honestly just seized the moment, seizes the leadership.

797
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: Just as you said. The Iranians have been at war

798
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: with us for years and years and years. Solimani is

799
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: the key leader in that war effort. I agree with

800
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: the General Petreus it is bigger than Ben Lad. Know,

801
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: they'll think that we got up in London for two reasons.

802
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: One is ben Laden was essentially off the battlefield when

803
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: we killed him, and which where Solomoni is still still

804
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: very much the commanding general. Secondly, if you tally the

805
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: deaths that Solomoni caused, mostly Muslims in places like Syria, Iraq, Lebanon,

806
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: it's actually far greater than the Osama bin Lady ever caused.

807
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: So white people can't just say this was somebody who

808
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: deserved to die and the world is safer with him gone.

809
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, but anyway, I agree with you, and

810
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to President Trump for this extraordinary active leadership.

811
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: And look what's happened. The Iranians basically are asking us

812
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: to stop because they did something they had to do

813
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: last night for their own people, but with zero damage

814
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: to our people, thank God. And you know, maybe maybe

815
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: it's the beginning of a new chapter over there. Who knows. Now,

816
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: you went through this period where in Connecticut the Democratic

817
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: Party turned on you. Now you were the strangest thing

818
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: is you were their vice presidential nominee. They loved you.

819
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: I made the silly mistake of saying good things about you,

820
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 1: and it was beginning to hurt you. So I stopped.

821
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: They say, oh, Hannity's even supporting Joe Lieberman. And this

822
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: is something you and I have always agreed on. We

823
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: don't agree on a lot of social issues and other issues,

824
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: but we do agree Radical Islam is so dangerous. And

825
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: the big picture here is the world's got to come

826
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: to grips with us. And the President said it right

827
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: out of the box today. We can't ever allow this

828
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: regime A squared B squared C squared and that is

829
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: radical Islamic terrorists with nuclear weapons equals a real potential

830
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: for a modern day holocaust. We cannot allow that to happen.

831
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't see the will in the world to do

832
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: what would be necessary to stop that or prevent that

833
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: from happening. Well, I curse. I agree with you, and

834
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: this is a kind of policy to stop radical Islam,

835
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: to stop the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is where

836
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: it all started in the revolution there of nineteen seventy nine.

837
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: And not you or me, but the US State depart

838
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm not just under the Trump administration, but back to

839
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: Obama Bush Clinton designating Iran as the number one state

840
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: sponsor of terrorism so really shows you how divided and

841
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: and and dangerously so our politics have become. Because there

842
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: shouldn't be any partisan differences about this. These people, and

843
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: Solomoni particularly threatened the security and lives of the American people.

844
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: I would say, in his way, the Iran is not

845
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: as strong as Rush or China because they there's so

846
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: much on the move and so willing to kill people

847
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 1: that that Solomony actually threatened us more so as I say,

848
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's gone. And I think this shows how

849
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: when you use power selectively on somebody who deserves it.

850
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: It can really change reality. And I think not only

851
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: the Iranians are nervous now. I think every other bad

852
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 1: actor who's thinking about challenging the US now, including Kim

853
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: Jong gun, has got to be worried. President showed we

854
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: have this extraordinary military intelligence, technological capacity. President showed that

855
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: he had been restrained long enough he was willing to

856
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: use it. And I think they're all wondering whether they're

857
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: the next ones to have something drop out of the

858
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: sky and then their lives because they're threatening the security

859
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: of the American people. I mean, they were attacking our embassy.

860
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: That's sovereign territory, that's that's our fellow citizens. President was

861
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: clear this wasn't going to become a second Benghazi. Let

862
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,280
Speaker 1: me ask you a more a broader picture here. Israel,

863
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: of course came to our aid and support. We're now

864
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: headed for a third election senator in Israel. I mean,

865
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: I mean this whole nonsense. I just have a hard

866
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: time with their parliament free system. It's so screwed up.

867
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: I thought our system was screwed up, but it's that bad.

868
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: And oh beebe got cigars, Let's bring them up on charges.

869
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: Free cigars. Well, there's a reason to indict a prime

870
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 1: minister who who spend his whole entire life fighting for

871
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: his country literally physically, and then as prime minister and

872
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 1: in other positions and losing his brother and then Braydon

873
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: and Tebbi. Yeah, no, listen, this is this is frustrating.

874
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: It's actually been embarrassing for those of us who are

875
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: devoted to the security and existence of the of the

876
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: State of Israel. And it's just part of the system.

877
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: Part of it is in a parliamentary system, if the

878
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: voters vote the way they did in Israel two camps,

879
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: they got to be willing to compromise to form a

880
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: government and it just hasn't been able to happen. It

881
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: makes you think that Israel is ready for governmental reform,

882
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,720
Speaker 1: and probably the most logical is to have the direct

883
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: election of the prime minister, just as we have a

884
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: direct collection of the president, and just as uh in

885
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: other countries they have a parliamentary system, but they elect

886
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: the prime minister directly, and so you'd avoid this. I

887
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: hope that on the third round, either somebody wins or

888
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: they get I don't see a coalition government even emerging

889
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,760
Speaker 1: out of this. Things are so crazy. Now, I understand

890
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: twenty percent of the voting population are um are Israeli Arabs,

891
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: that apparently some of the leaders don't even recognize the

892
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: right of Israel to exist. Is that true? Well, I think,

893
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: I think, I think it is true. I mean, I

894
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: don't know how many that's true. Where there certainly a

895
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: lot of them. But some of the leadership, those that

896
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 1: you know wanted to form the coalition against BB Right.

897
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 1: A lot of them opposed the policies of the government

898
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: from from right to left as far as I know.

899
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 1: In other even the liberal Israeli government, the Arab population

900
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: of posts it has been an interesting untouchable and they

901
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 1: thought it might happen in this case, that the whether

902
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: the opposition would bring in the Arabs at least a

903
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: vote for somebody other than maybe even if they weren't

904
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: part of the government. But that's a very unpopular thing

905
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: to do among most Israelities. Incidentally, Sean, and you probably

906
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: have seen this and talked about it. But talking to

907
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: people I know in Israel, they were not surprised that

908
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: the Israeli people and the political leadership supported President Trump's

909
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: decision to take out Solomoni because he was such a

910
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: threat and it killed so many Israelitis was what was

911
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: surprising the people is that it went from all the

912
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: way to far right to all the way far left.

913
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: In other words, this is it was the people felt,

914
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: no matter what your ideology in Israel, that Solomoni threatened

915
00:57:56,120 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: the existence of the country. And I quick break with

916
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: former Senator Lieberman, Great State of Connecticut, will ask him

917
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: about the extremism that has now taken over the modern liberal,

918
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: leftist socialist Democratic Party. Right we continue, Senator Joe Lieberman

919
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: is with us. Well. I mean this is if you

920
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: would have told me five years ago the United States, Israel,

921
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: the Saudis, the Egyptians, and Jordanians and Emirates would all

922
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: be united and sharing intelligence as they are aligned against

923
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: Iranian hegemony, I wouldn't have believed it. Let me ask

924
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: you one last question, and that is about I'm watching

925
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: and I'm skipping around a little bit. I'm watching your

926
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: former party, the Democratic Party. They want every candidate proposes

927
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: a new green deal. The cost is ninety four trillion

928
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: dollars over ten years. Trillion. Yeah, Medicare for all. How

929
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: did that Obamacare thing work out? You know, keep your

930
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: doctor plan and save money. Forty percent of the population

931
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: has one choice. Millions lost their doctors, millions lost their

932
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: health insurance, and everybody is on average paying almost two

933
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent more. We're supposed to save twenty five hundred

934
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: dollars a year, but that's fifty two trillion over ten years. Now,

935
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: I think you're a pretty reasonable Democrat. Do you recognize

936
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: any of that in what you fought for as a

937
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: Democrat all your life? Because I don't see it. I

938
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: don't in the sense that it's just fiscally irresponsible. I mean,

939
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: I've fought for a lot of I'm a big environmental protector.

940
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: I fought for healthcare reform, but you know, and I

941
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: got into a lot of trouble because I opposed the

942
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: so called public option when Obamacare was adopted, and people

943
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: still write about him blame me, But I did it

944
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: because I thought it was a foot in the door

945
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: to national health care, national health insurance, and that would

946
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: bankrupt the government. Also take from people who have employee

947
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: sponsored the employer sponsored healthcare, and that's about one hundred

948
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: and eighty million hundred country insurance of buy and largely

949
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: like so, look, uh, this in the heat of a

950
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: campaign if you make promises in the primary, you've got

951
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: to be able to defend them if you're lucky enough

952
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: to win the nomination in general election. And the price

953
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: tag on some of these proposals is going to make

954
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: people worry about the future fiscal stability of our country,

955
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: our ability to pay for it, and the burden that

956
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: will place on our children and grandchildren and higher and

957
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: higher taxes. So I think they I think you might

958
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: a while say you're now a Trump Republican, aren't you.

959
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: You don't think you're ever coming up. You don't ever

960
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 1: think you're coming on this program and getting a pass

961
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: to you because that's never gonna happen. Well, there's always

962
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: that one moment, you know, I have to be a

963
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: total jerk. I know, I always figure out my staff.

964
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: What used to always say to me, Jesus, should you

965
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: should have hanged up two minutes earlier than you did,

966
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: So that's probably did you know. I will say that

967
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: you're one of the nicest guys to ever be in politics.

968
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,439
Speaker 1: You picked the wrong profession. You don't fit in. Well

969
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: it used to be that way. You're very kind to

970
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: say that you're a great friend. You talked about it

971
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: before but in two thousand and six, which was really

972
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: the toughest moment in my political career, when my party

973
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: defeated me, I ran as an independent. You stuck with me,

974
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, some people graped about it, but you know what,

975
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: it helped me a lot more than it hurt me.

976
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: So I'll be. I'll be for every grade. Well, by

977
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: the way, I took a lot of crap on my end,

978
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,479
Speaker 1: just in case you're interested, you know, but I stand

979
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: up for what I believe in. Senator, my best our

980
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: prayers to you and your family. All the best in

981
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: the new years, sir, thank you for being with us.

982
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: Bless you and yours. Take care all right that Senator

983
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: Joe Lieberman eight hundred and nine four one sean, you

984
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program, Bill O'Reilly

985
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: At the top of the hour, we'll get his take

986
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 1: on all of the events in the last twenty four

987
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: hours and much more straight ahead. Hey, I am going

988
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: to ask NATO to become much more involved in the

989
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 1: Middle East process. Over the US three years under my leadership,

990
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: our economy is stronger than ever before, and America has

991
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: achieved energy independence. These historical compliment shades are strategic priorities.

992
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: These are accomplishments that nobody thought were possible, and options

993
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: in the Middle East became available. We are now the

994
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in

995
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: the world. We are independent, and we do not need

996
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: Middle East oil. The American military has been completely rebuilt

997
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: under my administration, at a cost of two point five

998
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: trillion dollars. US armed forces are stronger than ever before.

999
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Our missiles are big, powerful, accurate, lethal, and fast. Under

1000
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: construction are many hypersonic missiles. The fact that we have

1001
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: this great military and equipment, however, does not mean we

1002
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: have to use it. We do not want to use it.

1003
01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: American strength, both military and economic, is the best deterrent.

1004
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: It will not be allowed to go forward, all right,

1005
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: That was the President earlier today. Pretty spectacular developments. We

1006
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: have spent a lot of time for many, many, many

1007
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: years on this program talking about the real strategic importance

1008
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: of energy independence. The benefits should have been obvious for

1009
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: years to everybody. Number One, look at for example, geo Politically,

1010
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: the Straits or hor Moves are less strategically important to

1011
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: us than ever before. We now are the number one

1012
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: producer of oil in the entire world, the number one

1013
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: producer of energy in the entire world, we are now

1014
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: a net exporter of energy. You want to bring down Plutin.

1015
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: The best thing we can do is figure out a

1016
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: way to get our natural gas over to our Western

1017
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: European allies. They won't be so reliant on a hostile

1018
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: regime led by a hostile actor. And then, of course

1019
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: the added bonus and benefits for those of you that

1020
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 1: remember when we partnered with energy companies we were getting

1021
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: jobs were great Americans that were life changing, transformational career

1022
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: jobs in the energy industry and sector where they were

1023
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: training truck drivers and giving them a place to stay

1024
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: and starting salary eighty grand a year and all the

1025
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: overtime they can take. If you're making thirty forty fifty

1026
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: sixty thousand dollars a year, now you're making one hundred

1027
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: and twenty, well, that means of four d f one fifty.

1028
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: That means you put the down payment on the house

1029
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: in the safe neighborhood with better schools. I mean, all

1030
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: of these things that helps the great Americans have forgotten

1031
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: men and women in this country. That's good economically for us,

1032
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: that raises our GDP, that creates job opportunities that otherwise

1033
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: would be non existent. That's why the new greed Neal

1034
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,919
Speaker 1: is so dumb. Anyway, here with his take on all

1035
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: of the events in the last few weeks, in the

1036
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours in particular, we have Bill O'Reilly,

1037
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:03,439
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly come is all things O'Reilly, and of course

1038
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: his best selling book, The United States of Trump, how

1039
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: the President really sees America. And the first thing Bill

1040
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: is gonna say, Annity, I'm a simple man. You're not

1041
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 1: a simple man. I'm just getting get that right out

1042
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: of the way, right off the top. But he was

1043
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: gonna say, I'm a simple guy. Hi, Happy New Year.

1044
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm a simple guy. You know. Just fainted us seeing

1045
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: you tout the energy success of America and dennigrate the

1046
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: Green New Deal. She's now being revived in her in

1047
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 1: her house office. The Trump speech today was fascinating, not

1048
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: to those of us who know the president. Um, if

1049
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: you read the United States of trumpet is clear clear

1050
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump just hated the Iraq War. Joh, I mean,

1051
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: it drove him nuts that we spent blood and treasure

1052
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: over there and then in Afghanistan as well. Although Afghanistan

1053
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: is a different situation. So anybody who knows the president

1054
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: as you do very well, knows he don't want any

1055
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: part of war or conflict, and he's not wagging the dog,

1056
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: and he's not bear baiting the Mullahs all of this nonsense.

1057
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: Yet he finds himself in a position where he had

1058
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 1: to kill the terrorists General Solomany, because Solomony engineered the

1059
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: attack on the American embassy in Baghdad. That's why Solomani died.

1060
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: If Solomoni had not done that, he would not have

1061
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,919
Speaker 1: been killed. But he did it. And as I said,

1062
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: my line is, Solomoni was killed outside the Baghdad airport.

1063
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: He wasn't there changing planes to go to Paris. All right,

1064
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: he's a general. So anyway, Donald Trump smokes him and

1065
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: then all hell breaks loose. And last night with the

1066
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: missile attack, I do believe that attack was not designed

1067
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: to kill Americans. If the Iranians wanted to do that,

1068
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,439
Speaker 1: they would have. It was designed just to show their

1069
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: people the Molars are not going to take this from America,

1070
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: the great Satan. So Donald Trump in his response this

1071
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 1: morning was smart and it helped him the one mistake

1072
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,439
Speaker 1: he made. And I want your opinion on this too,

1073
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: was that he was not specific enough about the twenty

1074
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: fifteen nuclear deal and why he pulled out of that.

1075
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: Because that's the opposition. You pulled out of this deal,

1076
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: and because you pulled out of the Obama deal. Iran

1077
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: not has a right, but we can understand why Iran

1078
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: is misbehaving. I would have liked to have seen the

1079
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: presidents say, look is why I left that deal in

1080
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: very specific terms. What do you think. I think that

1081
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: the president maybe I'm just assuming that. You know, he

1082
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: was kind of clear in his speech today, and I

1083
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: say a little differently than he does. I mean the

1084
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: idea that Biden and Obama and other allies thought it

1085
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: was a good idea to give the Iranian mullahs one

1086
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty billion in cash and of the currency

1087
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: and dropping on a tarmac in Tehran and say here

1088
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 1: you go, please like us. Oh, and by the way,

1089
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: there's any place anytime inspections of your nuclear facilities. There's

1090
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,560
Speaker 1: no American inspectors at all. And in ten years you

1091
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 1: then get to build the nuclear weapon anyway. I mean,

1092
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,640
Speaker 1: that's how bad that deal was. I mean, that is

1093
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 1: the quintessential definition Bill of appeasement, right, But wouldn't you

1094
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: have liked to have heard. Look, but I think the

1095
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 1: President in his own way dealt with it, is what

1096
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 1: I was saying. Yeah, but I don't think he dealt

1097
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: with it strongly enough. So the Wall Street Journal has

1098
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:54,680
Speaker 1: a has an editorial on Biden's criticism, because Biden is

1099
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: up to his eyebrows in this Iranian nuke deal. And

1100
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 1: this is why I say this can really work for

1101
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: President Trump in American politics, in the race. So this

1102
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: will make quote real fast, what the Wall Street Journal

1103
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: says about Joe Biden's assessment. Quote, Iran must have missed

1104
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: that United containment mister Biden is talking about, because the

1105
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: country accelerated its spread of revolution in the wake of

1106
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: the two fifteen nuclear deal flesh with new cash and

1107
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,759
Speaker 1: the promise of investment. Iran expanded its arsenal ballistic missiles,

1108
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:33,440
Speaker 1: Solomoni arm the Hooties, and Yemen spread a missile, says Vladabam,

1109
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: Israel mobilized, she had malicious and made himself Iron's viceroy

1110
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 1: in Iraq. So that's pretty precise what the journal just said,

1111
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: and none of it is disputed. So that's what I

1112
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: would have liked President Trump to say, Hey, this myth

1113
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are

1114
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: putting out about what a great new deal this is.

1115
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: This is nonsense, and just I would even use the

1116
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: board and a little pointer and just run down what

1117
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal has said. Listen, Bill, You're nobody's

1118
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:08,560
Speaker 1: going to say you're not great at communication. This is

1119
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, you had all these years as number one

1120
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: in cables. So I'm not going to dispute any of

1121
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: it here. I will say this, when you look at

1122
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 1: the events and what has been unfolding here, it's kind

1123
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: of miraculous. Do you think they missed on purpose? Because

1124
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: those weapons, those ballistic missiles, you could literally hit them

1125
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 1: on the top of a pin. Yes, I do. I

1126
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 1: think that the Iranians fear Donald Trump. I agree, that's good, right,

1127
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: it's good. But there's a downside to everything because they

1128
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: don't want them reelected. So you have to assume that

1129
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 1: the Mullus will try in the next nine months, eleven months,

1130
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:02,560
Speaker 1: in the next eleven months to disrupt our election, to

1131
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: disrupt the campaign by misbehaving in some way, um not directly,

1132
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 1: because they know that President Trump will hurt them, but

1133
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: they don't want them. They don't want them back. And

1134
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 1: that is a major part of the Middle Eastern canvas

1135
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 1: right now, that the enemies of the United States were

1136
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: much more comfortable. And I don't say this to diminish

1137
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: Barack Obama. I don't Obama because nuts insane. Wait a minute, well,

1138
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: let's be fair. He tried to do it his way.

1139
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: You and I don't agree with him, ribs that chant

1140
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:49,879
Speaker 1: death to America. But look, just step back. Barack Obama

1141
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: tried to do it his way. Peace did not work.

1142
01:11:55,040 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: It never aging that. I'm not arguing appeasement works. I'm not,

1143
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: but he believed. I'm telling you that for history. And

1144
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: you know I'm a historian with seventeen million books in print. No, Bill,

1145
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: you're a simple man. Wait a minute, wait wait, I'm

1146
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: a simple man. I have seventeen history books in print.

1147
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 1: They're all number one bestsellers. But I'm a simple guy. Okay, Well,

1148
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: that's what it takes, take simplicity and clarity. But Obama's part,

1149
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: this is what Donald Trump should campaign on. He couldn't

1150
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: campaign on. Obama's an idiot and he's a fool. And

1151
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: he did all these terrible things to America. That's not

1152
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: going to persuade independence. What will persuade is Donald um

1153
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:47,679
Speaker 1: Barack Obama tried this way in the economy. It didn't work.

1154
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:54,640
Speaker 1: Income redistribution didn't work. He tried foreign affairs to neutralize

1155
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 1: America by saying we shouldn't be the world's superpower. It

1156
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:02,600
Speaker 1: did not work. I came in and I did it

1157
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: the opposite way, and it did work. Don't you think

1158
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:12,720
Speaker 1: that's a better, more positive campaign than slashing Obama. I honestly,

1159
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: I just see it differently than you. I think you're

1160
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: being a little more gracious than I am. It is

1161
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:26,679
Speaker 1: such a spectacular fail in my mind that it defies logic,

1162
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 1: reason and common sense. When they chant death to America.

1163
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: They've met at war with us. You know this, We've

1164
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,799
Speaker 1: followed four hundred and forty four days America held hostage.

1165
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: Carter lost the election over it. But since nineteen seventy nine,

1166
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: this is who they are, and they've only gotten worse.

1167
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,560
Speaker 1: And somehow a deal that gives them one hundred and

1168
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 1: fifty billion know any place anytime inspections. They keep the money,

1169
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: but it expires in ten years and they get to

1170
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,600
Speaker 1: keep building their weapons in the meantime and threatening to

1171
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 1: destroy Israel in the United States. There's no there's no

1172
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: part of my brain, Bill O'Reilly that can comprehend that. No,

1173
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: I can't. So ram it down Biden's throat. So I

1174
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:12,759
Speaker 1: do that every day and Trump ram it down Biden's

1175
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 1: throat that you did this in the hope that the

1176
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 1: mothers would moderate. Okay, but don't assign a nefarious motive

1177
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 1: to it. See, just take the fact and ram it

1178
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: down Biden's throat, look at him and say, hey, we

1179
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 1: try to your way, Joe, and it didn't work. Look

1180
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: what happened. And every time that Biden says, oh, no,

1181
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: it's your fault. You got out of the nuke deal,

1182
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 1: you say, are you kidding me? Did you not see

1183
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 1: what happened after you signed it and gave him the

1184
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 1: hudred fifty bill. The problem is nobody. This is the

1185
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 1: amazing part. They will never admit they're wrong. Oh, but

1186
01:14:56,920 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: you're shooting for independent votes. That's no on that side.

1187
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 1: You're right, all right, Stay right there, Bill O'Reilly, Hang on,

1188
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 1: hang Hey, I gotta pay bills, Bill, you know, I gotta.

1189
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: I gotta be able to put the show on the air.

1190
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 1: Uh Bill O'Reilly dot com. Uh, the United States of Trump,

1191
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 1: his new book, and his commentary every day on his website.

1192
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: Quick break, we'll come back. I know a lot of

1193
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:21,560
Speaker 1: you want to weigh in on the events in the

1194
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:23,560
Speaker 1: last twenty four hour. We'll hit the phones in the

1195
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,840
Speaker 1: final half hour of the program. Today. We got an

1196
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:28,720
Speaker 1: amazing Hannity tonight at nine. Quick break, right back, and

1197
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 1: we will continue. All right. As we continue, Bill O'Reilly

1198
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 1: is with us all things O'Reilly at his website Bill

1199
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:40,560
Speaker 1: O'Reilly dot com. So let's look at there's nothing that

1200
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:45,320
Speaker 1: this president can ever do. I it's now closed for me.

1201
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 1: I say, if he cured cancer, they'd impeache in procuring cancer.

1202
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 1: Now we take out Solomany. Daryl Petrea is really smart guy,

1203
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: thinks this is way bigger than even Ben Lauden or Baghdaddy.

1204
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: When Petrea said that, that pressed me because Petraeus is

1205
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,719
Speaker 1: one of the smartest guys on the planet. He knows

1206
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 1: exactly what is happening in Tehran and other terror capitals.

1207
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 1: So when he said that, I went, okay. I would

1208
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:16,679
Speaker 1: have done in any way. If you have a general

1209
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:20,959
Speaker 1: in a foreign nation directing attacks on a US embassy.

1210
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:25,320
Speaker 1: You gotta neutralize that. Let me ask this now that

1211
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: they took their shots, I kind of agree with you.

1212
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: There's no way they missed every target by accident. No,

1213
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,799
Speaker 1: So then the question is no lives were lost the president.

1214
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,679
Speaker 1: That was the line in the sand for the president.

1215
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Would you, if you're President Trump or advising the president,

1216
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:46,719
Speaker 1: tell him to hit him back anyway, take out their refineries? No? Nope.

1217
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: Explain why I want to know what I want to know.

1218
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 1: You're thinking, Yeah, President Trump's winning this now in the

1219
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,520
Speaker 1: hearts and minds category, which he needs to be reelected,

1220
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: and also around the world, which is not sympathetic to

1221
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: the United States. So right now, he should do nothing

1222
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: more and let it die down. If it does now,

1223
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 1: if a run continues to provoke, it's a case by case.

1224
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: It's like you, Hannity, you're on your TV show. Someone

1225
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: shot back at him, right, you know, Bill, I'd waste

1226
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,600
Speaker 1: my whole show doing that if I responded to you know,

1227
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: like the humpty dumpies of the world. But you don't

1228
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:27,759
Speaker 1: start it, you, No, I don't. Then guys like Jimmy

1229
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: Kimmel will have to move to a run. Um. So

1230
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 1: it's the same thing you won this round. I think

1231
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: let it go and let's see what happens. All right,

1232

1249
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: song on the show. We wrote that they were not

1250
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: from Alabama. Actually from Jacksonville, Florida about you know why

1251

Speaker 1: my spread hair with him there? Come on, hannay give

1252
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 1: me uh you know, I did a concert tour with

1253
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 1: them for our Freedom Concerts and they're unbelievable. I mean,

1254
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 1: it's an unbelievable um. They're so and Johnny Van's hand

1255
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 1: it sings just like Ronnie van Zan who died in

1256
01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 1: that plane crash, which was so sad. Let me let

1257
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 1: me look at this whole thing. And I wanted to

1258
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 1: hold you over for a second on one big issue here.

1259
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:10,760
Speaker 1: Let's look at through the prism of where the Democrats are.

1260
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 1: Their impeachment a dud. It's dying. You look at television ratings.

1261
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: You can see the numbers, even fake news CNN, Conspiracy TV,

1262
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: Area fifty one, Roswald, Rachel Maddow. They're in the tank.

1263
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 1: You would think this would be a good news cycle

1264
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,560
Speaker 1: for all of them. It's not. It's been a disaster.

1265
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,560
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty candidates are all extreme. How does a

1266
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 1: play out in light of Baghdaddy Solomoni the good news

1267
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:39,600
Speaker 1: on the economy, We had more good news on the

1268
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: economy today. How does it play out? As I said

1269
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: in the beginning of our conversation today. I think this

1270
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: helps President Trump if he doesn't overreact. I don't want

1271
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: him tweeting about it. I want him to be very

1272
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: methodical because it is a life death situation and Americans

1273
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: want their commander in chief to be discipline, methodical, and

1274
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: sober during these kinds of emergencies. Now you'll notice that

1275
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 1: the hate Trump media there. It's a crisis. This is

1276
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 1: what they have. Now. Everything's a crisis. It's not a

1277
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:14,560
Speaker 1: crisis for America if we handle it correctly, and I

1278
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 1: think so far we are. How it extends to the

1279
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 1: campaign is that the Democratic Party is just flawling around.

1280
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: They don't have any they don't have any counter to

1281
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: the economy. Economy is good, all right, They have no

1282
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: countered ISIS. ISIS is destroyed. Now it looks like President

1283
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 1: Trump might be able to neutralize or on if that

1284
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: indeed happens. Democrats are in really bad shape. I really

1285
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 1: don't know why people would vote for them outside of

1286
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 1: a personality issue. But you see, I agree with you

1287
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: about the media. They're they're constantly feigning this culture of

1288
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: outrageous Yeah. But the American people, the folks, as you

1289
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: would call them, the American people have adjusted to the

1290
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: president's style. He's not conventional. But I want to make

1291
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:05,559
Speaker 1: it was one point, hang on, this is important. They've

1292
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: they've adjusted. And my point to you, and my question

1293
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 1: for you, and I really want an answer to this,

1294
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 1: is I think the president showed remarkable restraint. They shot

1295
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:20,760
Speaker 1: down two drones. Bill, he didn't act. They took the

1296
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: British that they took Hanker's hostage in the Straits of Hormus.

1297
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:29,720
Speaker 1: He didn't hit him an unprovoked attack to impact the

1298
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: price of oil worldwide. When they hit the Saundies, he

1299
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: didn't act. American contractors killed. He acted. Now, if you

1300
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 1: listen to the cartoon caricature that the media and the

1301
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 1: Democrats panted Donald Trump, American people saw a president in

1302
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: control and very restrained. In my humble opinion yours, he

1303
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 1: was very disciplined today and I was happy to see it.

1304
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: But all throughout, Bill, he didn't strike after the drop.

1305
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 1: But I wasn't surprised with that restraint, Hannity, because I

1306
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 1: know him so well, and so do you. I wasn't either.

1307
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: But the mob in the media was they were shocked. No,

1308
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,600
Speaker 1: they weren't shocked. They were disappointed. They wanted him to

1309
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 1: be a raving, lunatic madman. That's what they wanted. But

1310
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:20,519
Speaker 1: if you understand Donald Trump, he hates war. YEP. I

1311
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 1: get into this in the United States of Trump. I

1312
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: talk about his Vietnam experience. We go into that very

1313
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: heavy and then the Iraq War. And if you are

1314
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 1: honest about your assessment of the president, he hates war.

1315
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't want it. He feels it's bad on a

1316
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: humanitarian basis and it's terrible for business. So I'm not

1317
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:46,919
Speaker 1: surprised that he's been restrained. I'm happy for the country

1318
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 1: because we don't need a war with Iran. All Right,

1319
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 1: last question, and we're gonna get to the phones here

1320
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 1: and don't get mad at me. But this is fun.

1321
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: So Bill O'Reilly would start a TV show with talking points,

1322
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: talking points memo, and you'd always say talking point says

1323
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 1: and talking point says, and I'm looking at the TV.

1324
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, there's no person that's talking points, you're talking points.

1325
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: You're the talking point. But you'd say talking point says tonight,

1326
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,439
Speaker 1: and I mean, like, what are you talking There's no

1327
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:18,360
Speaker 1: such thing as talking points. Talking Hannity, Now I'm going

1328
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: to go into my teacher mode. I'm now teaching Sean

1329
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 1: Hannity student in my class. Talking Point says, it is

1330
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: a literary device. Oh, I'd sit there and I'd be

1331
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 1: I'd be talking points. Talking points. Don't think are talk

1332
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: talking points can't say anything. It's a literary device. It's

1333
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:50,200
Speaker 1: about literature. I am a timble man, but an education Yeah,

1345
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: for putting me right after him. It's a pleasure. One

1346
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 1: comment I did want to make is we were talking

1347
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: along the lines of during the impeachment trials about ambassor

1348
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 1: Ivanovich and we were going on and on and on

1349
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 1: and on about how these ambassadors were patriots. But at

1350
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,719
Speaker 1: the same time, when the Big Dad Embassy was being overran,

1351
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: we didn't hear anything from the left talking about how

1352
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 1: much these people were patriots and that we had to

1353
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 1: really depend them during this overrunning of our embassy. Listen,

1354
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, these are our fellow Americans. We saw what

1355
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:57,959
Speaker 1: happened in Benghazi. This shouldn't be complicated, I think for anybody,

1356
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: because we know what they did in Benghazi, and you

1357
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 1: know the fact that you know those CIA annex guys,

1358
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,600
Speaker 1: you know we're told to stand down three times. It

1359
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 1: shocks my conscience. They like, what do you mean stand down?

1360
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 1: They're killing our fellow Americans. These are our this is

1361
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: our family. We're going and they eventually not only they

1362
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 1: risked their lives in careers and they did it anyway

1363
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 1: and they ended up saving lives. So you know, this

1364
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: is American, This is an attack on America, This is

1365
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 1: American sovereignty. These are American citizens. They were there to

1366
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: kill Americans and it was all led by Solomony, all

1367
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 1: of it. That's why he was at Bagdad Airport. There's

1368
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,840
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. I think the Intel was dead

1369
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 1: on accurate. You know, there's some I got a criticism.

1370
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 1: Linda brought this to my attention. I forget who you

1371
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 1: said said it, but somebody said, well, Hannity spent three

1372
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 1: years trashing our Intel community. I'm I'm so furious about that,

1373
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: because Steve, you listen to the program right how many times?

1374
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 1: But I always say the ninety nine percent of good

1375
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: people and the one percent of bad people in the

1376
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 1: Intel community in the FBI, Didn't I always make that distinction.

1377
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:10,640
Speaker 1: I've heard it many times. We're talking about thank you,

1378
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: there's being incompetent, not the men and women who are

1379
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: constantly serving and actually knocking on doors. And actually, because

1380
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: I admire them so much, I did not want them

1381
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 1: to be tainted by the actions of a few at

1382
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: the top. And it was important to me, important and

1383
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,680
Speaker 1: important enough to me to make the distinction, and I

1384
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 1: made it often so I was crystal clear. M thank

1385
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: you for thank you for bailing me out. Can I

1386
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 1: ask you to just please have all your listeners say

1387
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:44,720
Speaker 1: a prayer for all our sailors, soldiers, marine German going

1388
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,720
Speaker 1: overseason doing that. God bless you. Sean. Thanks for taking

1389
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 1: my call. God bless you. And yes, we need to

1390
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 1: pray for our guys. That we have the greatest fighting

1391
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 1: force on the face of the earth. You know, the

1392
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 1: the intelligence community. What have I been saying? Nine percent

1393
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 1: the greatest intelligence capabilities of any country on Earth. Thank God,

1394
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 1: this was such a win for them. So, I mean,

1395
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 1: who knew Solomani was flying commercial and then they tracked

1396
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 1: him the whole way? Maybe not a dumb idea if

1397
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: you're thinking in an evil sort of way. He's basically

1398
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: using every other passenger as a shield, because if we

1399
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 1: know he's in the plane, you'd think, oh, we'll just

1400
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 1: take out the plane. Problem is, we're going to kill

1401
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: a lot of innocent people in the US and Israel

1402
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: care about human life. That's who we are. That defines us,

1403
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: but that also limits our ability to do some things.

1404
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 1: But a huge military success, a huge intelligence success, and

1405
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 1: a huge success for our commander in chief and I

1406
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 1: and I think the President did surprise people with the

1407
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 1: restraint that he showed leading up to all of this. Indiana, Ronda,

1408
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: Next Sean Hannity Show, Ronda, how are you happy New Year?

1409
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:56,719
Speaker 1: Glad you called? I'm doing great, Sean and I'm thrilled

1410
01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 1: to talk to you again. I just heard recently that

1411
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: our immigration policy is based on love, and I really

1412
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 1: have been thinking that over and I know that it's true.

1413
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 1: The way it's structured, it protects our citizens. It allows

1414
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,080
Speaker 1: people who come in legally to experience the wonders of

1415
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 1: our country, and that is a loving thing that we do.

1416
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:21,519
Speaker 1: I feel that way about our military, and so it

1417
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:27,000
Speaker 1: pains me deeply that people who trash a military disrespect them,

1418
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: when really they are defending us, They are protecting us

1419
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,759
Speaker 1: in our interests. It's our sons and daughters, our husbands

1420
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,320
Speaker 1: and our wives who are in the military. And this

1421
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:42,080
Speaker 1: doctrine of appeasement that I am hearing is so very dangerous.

1422
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 1: It is a false peace. It is a false love.

1423
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: It masquerades as peace, and it masquerades is love when

1424
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:52,720
Speaker 1: all the while you and I know that you can

1425
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 1: never appease evil. And so I am thankful to have

1426
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:02,400
Speaker 1: the president who love the military, who knows what the

1427
01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:05,839
Speaker 1: military does for our country, and who loves our country.

1428
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: That is one of the things I'm grateful for this year.

1429
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 1: And I have to tell you, it was the delight

1430
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: of my year to in December, be able to put

1431
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 1: my own knees on the steps of the Capitol as

1432
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 1: they were impeaching my president, and to bow my head

1433
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 1: and to pray for this country. Look, I think what

1434
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: you're saying. It is so wise what you were saying,

1435
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 1: and so deep and so profound on the one hand,

1436
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:35,799
Speaker 1: and so simple on the other. You know the idea

1437
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:39,000
Speaker 1: that you can you know, I think for some and

1438
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I don't understand appeasement. Ronda,

1439
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 1: I don't. And I was saying this to O'Reilly, I'm like,

1440
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 1: I don't get it. You know what's your Give me

1441
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 1: the reason, the rationale, the intellectual process, if you will,

1442
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 1: that makes you believe, in the case of Chamberlain Neville Chamberlain,

1443
01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:00,719
Speaker 1: we get a peace in our time. Or Biden Obama

1444
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:02,519
Speaker 1: thinking it's a good idea to give one hundred and

1445
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:07,320
Speaker 1: fifty billion to radical Islami terrorists that chant death to

1446
01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:10,680
Speaker 1: your country and want to wipe Israel off the map. Oh,

1447
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 1: here's one hundred and fifty billion. Please like us, but

1448
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:14,800
Speaker 1: we're going to trust you. We won't have any place

1449
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 1: anytime inspections, and it all expires in ten year, ten

1450
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:22,600
Speaker 1: years anyway, it's mind numbing to me. I just I

1451
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:26,799
Speaker 1: don't think that way. You are correct, that is viewed

1452
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:31,640
Speaker 1: as weakness by people that have these evil, sick, ugly ideologies.

1453
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:34,760
Speaker 1: It's hard for good people to conceive that there is

1454
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,760
Speaker 1: such evil out there in this world that we lost

1455
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 1: one hundred million souls at least in the last century alone.

1456
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:44,480
Speaker 1: But there are hitlers, and there are you know, stalins

1457
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 1: and mouths of the world, and there is this interpretation

1458
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:54,600
Speaker 1: of Islam that is radicalized, that thinks it's okay to

1459
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,400
Speaker 1: strap bombs on young kids and teach them to kill

1460
01:30:57,439 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: Americans and Israelis and that God will Allah will reward

1461
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 1: them in heaven. Some people buy into this when an

1462
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:10,000
Speaker 1: entire country is governed by that theology, and you're looking

1463
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:12,960
Speaker 1: at that as the case in Iran, and if you

1464
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: ever marry that with nuclear weapons, we all better be afraid.

1465
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:18,880
Speaker 1: And so there's got to be a day of reckoning here,

1466
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:24,120
Speaker 1: because everyone's saying they can't have nuclear weapons. At some point,

1467
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:26,760
Speaker 1: there's gonna have to be something to make it not

1468
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:30,360
Speaker 1: ever be possible for them to get them. And do

1469
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 1: I want war? Nope, I don't like war. My father

1470
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: fought in World War Two. Never liked to talk about

1471
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:39,680
Speaker 1: it much either. In the Pacific. Wasn't interested when his

1472
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:42,320
Speaker 1: son had a lot of questions about it. Um all

1473
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:44,760
Speaker 1: the people I've ever met that served in the military

1474
01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:47,160
Speaker 1: and war, they don't want to usually talk about it either.

1475
01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 1: It's not pleasant, it's not the better part of the

1476
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 1: human existence and experience. I want to know what radical

1477
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,840
Speaker 1: Islam looks like. Just think back to nine to eleven,

1478
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. Those were radical Islamis. Now that's

1479
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 1: the entire country of Iran that are governed by that sick, twisted,

1480
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:08,679
Speaker 1: evil ideology. And the thing is you can't convince them

1481
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 1: that they're wrong because they're convinced that they're right. And

1482
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:17,599
Speaker 1: that's that even makes it worse in some regards. That's

1483
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 1: gonna wrap things up for today. We're still watching the

1484
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:26,480
Speaker 1: Katusha rockets Green Zone, and my gut tells me knockoff.

1485
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:30,040
Speaker 1: You know, Troublemaker does a lot of them in the region.

1486
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:35,120
Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham, Ally North, General Tony Tata, Senator Jony Ernst

1487
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:41,839
Speaker 1: of Iowa, Jim Jordan, Matt Gates, Alastafonic, Mike Huckabee, Pete Hegseth.

1488
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 1: We got every Angle covered nineties turns, say DVR, Hannity

1489
01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:48,320
Speaker 1: tonight best election coverage. That's our promise. See you tonight

1490
01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: at nine. Back here tomorrow
