1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: All right, gladuate with us on this Friday. We have

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: some breaking news is we begin this day. It appears

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: that the Iranians, now very stupidly, this is really dumb,

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: have seized a British flagged oil tanker in the Straits

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: of Hormuz amid what is obviously growing tensions in the region,

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: which you know, really are caused by the fact that

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: the president and his sanctions have been phenomenal. It's had

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: a great impact, a negative impact. We now see and

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: intelligence people that I know that are really smart, that

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: know the goings on inside of Iran, they've all been

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: suggesting that the younger population has been resisting, risking their

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: own lives on a regular basis to take down this

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: regime problem. When you get in a situation like av

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: and Iran, you can't win revolutions with slingshots. It's never

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna hampen, or a cocktails that's never gonna happen. And

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: they have no compunctions about killing and imprisoning anybody that

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: they deem as any type of threat to this radical

18
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Islamic regime that they have. But things have been growing,

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: and of course we had the one tanker that was hit.

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: We had the drone that was hit yesterday. We took

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: out their drone because they had a drone flying within

22
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: a thousand yards of one of our ships in the

23
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: Straits of Hormuz. And anyway, so the report that we

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: now have is that apparently this British tanker was approached

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: by unidentified small crafts and a helicopter during transit through

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: the Straits of Hormos. Now, I just want to back

27
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: up for a second here. Strategically, tactically, I mean, the

28
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Straits of Hormuz has been always this very sensitive area

29
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: where the free flow of oil at market prices, A

30
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: lot of the world's oil has to pass through those straits.

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: He narrow straits or hor moves. Anyway, the vessel was

32
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,639
Speaker 1: in international waters. The shipping company that owns the vessel

33
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: set in a statement we are presently unable to contact

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: the vessel, which is now heading north towards Iran and

35
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Rand's Revolutionary Guard Forces, and a statement on their website

36
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: say they seize the ship for quote non compliance with

37
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: international maritime laws and regulations and it's being brought to

38
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: an unnamed Irany import. According to the AP websites that

39
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: are tracking the ship's path, show it turning sharply in

40
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: the direction of this island off of Iran instead of

41
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: its intended destination, which was Saudi Arabia. Quote. We're urgently

42
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: seeking further information and assessing the situation following reports of

43
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: an incident in the Gulf, according to a UK government

44
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: spokesperson telling Fox News, Mike Pompeo is speaking. Now, let's

45
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: can we dip in and hear what Mike Pompeo's Oh no,

46
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: he just cut off, Okay, but where you know. Obviously,

47
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: as information becomes available, we'll share it with you throughout

48
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: the afternoon. Second time now in just over a week

49
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: that the UK has been the target of this escalating

50
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: violence by this radical, insane Iranian regime. The US will

51
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: continue to work with our allies and partners to defend

52
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: our security and our interest against Iranian's malignant behavior. And

53
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: there have been no reported injuries. Obviously, the safety of

54
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 1: the people aboard this British oil tanker is a primary concern,

55
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: and this comes after Iran last week warned the British

56
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: that they will face repercussions over the mean and wrong

57
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: seizure of one of its supertankers in early July. That

58
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: authorities believe was operating in violation of European Union sanctions.

59
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: So that's really all we know. Now Iran's revolutionary guards

60
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: saying that it sees the British oil taker in these

61
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: straits or hor moves. Now this on the heels. Yesterday

62
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: the President shot down an Iranian drone after giving multiple

63
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: warnings of the drone flying close to a US vessel

64
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: in international waters. All right, so let's just stop for

65
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: a second here and let me just sort of lay out.

66
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: We have our friend, Daniel Hoffman is going to be

67
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: with us. He's a thirty year cia OP officer, knows

68
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: a lot about Iran and the inner workings of this

69
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: radical regime. And one thing we can first start and

70
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: be thankful for is that, for the first time in

71
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: seventy five years, because the President kept his promise and

72
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: eliminated burdens and regulation, well, we're now energy independent. And

73
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: I have said this for years and years and years

74
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: and years and years. We have more resources natural resources

75
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: than the Middle East combined. We do not need to

76
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: get our energy, which is the lifeblood of every econom

77
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: me from countries that hate our guts. Now, with that said,

78
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: the radical mullahs in Iran that I thought Biden and

79
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Obama fix this problem. I thought they made a deal.

80
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: I thought when they dropped a hundred and fifty billion

81
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: dollars in cash and other currencies in the tarmac and

82
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: cargo planes in Iran, I thought they were gonna like us.

83
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: This naive foreign policy view that Democrats so often have

84
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: is despicable. You know, as Bill Clinton as as a

85
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: good deal for the American babel when he allowed Kim

86
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Jong ill, Kim Jong Gun's father, well, they tried to

87
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: bribe him too, and they bribed him, but yet they

88
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: allowed him to continue to do, you know, build centerfuges,

89
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. And it was just a horrible deal.

90
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: The Iranian deal allowed the Iranians even after ten years,

91
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: it would be okay, they can have, you know, build

92
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: their own nuclear weapons. This was a temporary band aid

93
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: that was dumb. I don't know what it is about

94
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: the liberal mind that believes an appeasement. Somehow we never

95
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: learn the lessons of history. You're not gonna convince brutal

96
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: regimes to change, and money and bribery and appeasement and

97
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: ask kissing doesn't work. The only thing that evil will

98
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: respond to is certain military force against them. And the

99
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: Iranians obviously, now with all the saber rattling, they've been

100
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: picking a fight with all of us. Now, what's happened, though,

101
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: is almost there isn't there? Think about the situation the

102
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: Camp David Accords. Let's let's go back to the UN

103
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: partition plan. You know, there's never been a moment like

104
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: we currently have, and I'll explain why in a minute.

105
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: There's never been a moment where an alliance of countries

106
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: in the Middle East that was perhaps the most unlikely

107
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: is happening right before our very eyes, and now by

108
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: the Iranians taken on the US as they've already constantly

109
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: picking fights, fighting proxy wars against Israel and funding his

110
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: Balah and these terrorist attacks against Israel. Then of course

111
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: they've been fighting a proxy war with the Hoodahs in

112
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: Yemen and those forces there. And so you know, now

113
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: the Saudis are on board. So you got the US now,

114
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: the UK and Israel, and the Jordanians and the Egyptians

115
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: under ALCC, King of dull and Jordan and putting aside

116
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: Kashogi for just a minute, even the Saudis are now

117
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: aligned against Iranian hegemony. Now, the Straits are Hormus are

118
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: have been historically the single most strategic transportation lanes for

119
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: what is I've always said the lifeblood of every economy,

120
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: and that's oil and gas. In our case, oil and gas,

121
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: FreeFlow of energy at market prices. Now, the fact that

122
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: the Iranians are foolish enough now to take on everybody

123
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: only makes what eventually has to happen easier. That's a

124
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: good thing now because of the fear of Iranian hegemony

125
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: and because of the radicalism and the proxy wars and

126
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: the terrorism that is funded by the Iranians. They're the

127
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: biggest state sponsor of terror, and now because of the

128
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: saber rattling, because they want attention, because they want the world,

129
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: They want the appeasers that are still a part of

130
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: the stupid deal that Biden in Mama made. They want them. Oh, oh, please,

131
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: President Trump, you you've got to capitulate. No, he doesn't

132
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: need to capitulate. What needs to happen now is something

133
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: that at some point we're gonna either regret we didn't

134
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: do or be glad we did. It's a simple mathematical formula.

135
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's there's math formulas. You know, what

136
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: is it the speed of light? Energy equals blah blah

137
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: blah blah. What is mc squared? What is it equals

138
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: equals mc squared? Okay, I'm not a mathematician, right, but

139
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: it's that's again brilliant on on the on the part

140
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: of people that have mathematical talents. I could only dream

141
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: of a squared plus B squared equals C squared. Radical

142
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: Iranian mullus that believe in a caliphate and believe in

143
00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: in in strategically planning, generational convert or die. Just a

144
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: quick update, Sean Fox thanks now reporting that he claimed

145
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: a second now says brand is now claiming I'd just

146
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: see acrossing the wires claiming they seized a second oil tanker.

147
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: Is that also from Great Britain. That's the only thing

148
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. We don't know the origin of

149
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: the tanker. We don't know. So what I'm saying is

150
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: we're not dependent now for the first time in seventy

151
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: five years. The Straits of Hormuz for the United States

152
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: is less important than it's ever been, but it's important

153
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: for the world. So you now have the biggest terrorist

154
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: state in the world. They're now decided that they're going

155
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: to pick fights with everybody. If they're going to pick

156
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: a fight, obviously they chant death to America, death to Israel,

157
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: burn the American flag, burned, the Israeli flag, threatened to

158
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: wipe Israel off the map, the United States off the map.

159
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: A square B squared C squared is radical Islamic terrorists

160
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: that run this regime. The Mullahs that Biden and Obama

161
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: bribed and some of our weak allies that are appeasers

162
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: bribed with one hundred and fifty billion in cash and

163
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: other currencies used to kill people and fight proxy wars

164
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: and fun terrorism. Well, now you have a situation where

165
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: the world has aligned against them because they realize if

166
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: those radicals that believe in convert or die get weapons

167
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: of mass destruction, the same people that would strap bombs

168
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: on their own kids to kill innocent men, women, and children.

169
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: The second tanker is a British tanker also that they

170
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: would were strap bombs on their own kids. We can't

171
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: have radicals with nuclear weapons. We just can't, because that

172
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: would be a squared the radicals B squared The nukes

173
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: equals a potential modern day Holocaust. We can't risk that

174
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: now that the British are going to join us, as

175
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: they've kind of been with us from the beginning. We

176
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: always can count under British and israel Is certainly with us.

177
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: The Saudis hate the Iranians there with us. The Jordanians

178
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: are with us, and that would be under King Abdullah

179
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: and General Alcsi's with us of Egypt and I, you know,

180
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't care what the French president thinks. I don't

181
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: care what Putin thinks, you know, but this can't continue.

182
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to just shoot out and stop the

183
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: free flow of oil market prices. If you do now,

184
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: we're going to have to make a decision at some point.

185
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: At some point, we better take out these nuclear sights. Now.

186
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: When the Israelis did it in the eighties in Iraq,

187
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: there was worldwide condemnation. When they did it in Syria,

188
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: it's like the most underreported greatest military attack effort. They

189
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: took out the Syrian sights by flying under Syrian radar

190
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: to get the job done. Hardly anybody even knows that happened.

191
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: It's so amazing. But if we allow the Iranians to

192
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: do this without doing this is now giving us the

193
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: opening that we really at some point need to take

194
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: and have to be today. But it's got to happen.

195
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: It'll be a safer world for our kids and grandkids.

196
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: The President has been informed. We'll get an update throughout

197
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: the show today as this continues to unfold. Right if

198
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: you're just joining us, two British tankers now have been

199
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: seized in the ever so strategic Straits or horn Moves

200
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: if you look at a map, so you got these

201
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: very narrow straits which strategically have been so important for

202
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: the passage of oil, which is the lifeblood of every economy.

203
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: By the way, as a little side note, we'll get

204
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: into more details of this. It just it really brings

205
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: into focus the importance of America not relying foreign sources

206
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: for our energy, the lifeblood of our economy. We've already

207
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: seen this play out where people artificially raised prices. You know,

208
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: when remember when North Dakota was doing so well, what

209
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: happened with Middle East and oil. They purposely drove down

210
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: the price to drive our companies out of business. The

211
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: Middle East knows we don't need them, They absolutely know.

212
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: Why has there been so much talk about the Saudias

213
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: trying to alter shift their economy away from their one

214
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: source of revenue oil because they know we're not needing

215
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: them anymore. And it only took one president to get

216
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: us there. But so strategically a lot of the world's

217
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: oil passed through these narrow straits. Imagine on one side

218
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: you have the Iranians, on the other the UAE and o'mam,

219
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: and so when you have so much of the world's

220
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: oil passing through those straits, it's strategically imperative. No economy

221
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: can live without this energy. That's why it's so insane,

222
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: the New Green Deal. And now that the Iranians, they've

223
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: been now beginning to escalate day after day after day.

224
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: They now have taken in two oil tankers a Great

225
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: Britain in international waters on the heels of shooting down

226
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: a US drone on the heels of US yesterday shooting

227
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: down one of theirs. Although they deny it, it's going

228
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: to precipitate what I think eventually has to happen. I'm

229
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: not done, by the way. This is not an extended war.

230
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: This is a strike. Take out the sights and see

231
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: you later, all right, Just breaking in the last hour

232
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: we now have confirmed that in fact two well, let's

233
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: go to the president. He's walking up to the microphone

234
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: as we speak, and two tankers British tankers seized and

235
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: the Straits are were moved by Iran. Very good numbers. Economically,

236
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: the country is doing really well. We expect great things

237
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: and we have a lot of potential, a lot of

238
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: way to go with the hottest economy now definitely actually

239
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: for the last quite a quite a bit period of time,

240
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: and I think we have tremendous potential for a lot

241
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: of growth. Europe is not doing well. A lot of

242
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: players this is so I just want to let you

243
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: know today what do we act well as science with

244
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: the UK? And we always have. We heard that the

245
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: United States has very few tankers going in because we're

246
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: using our own energy. Now we've made a lot of

247
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: progress over the last two and a half years. Have

248
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: very many times that a warships and we'll talk to

249
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: the UK and we have no we're gonna get the

250
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: better audio. The president is uh now speaking, Yeah, we

251
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: don't have as many tankers. There's straits or hormus are

252
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: less strategic than ever before because we've been smart. Let's

253
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: we'll go back to the president. Good grief. The media,

254
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: really this is their question. If you go back into

255
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: the four Congress women, the things they've said about our

256
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: country are terrible. What they've said about Israel are just terrible.

257
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't say for sure, but certainly

258
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people say they hate our country, and

259
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a disgrace what they've said. I think

260
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: you can't talk that way about the United States, and

261
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: I think, frankly, to say that about Israel. You know,

262
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: we just gave the embassy in Jerusalem, making Jerusalem the

263
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: capital of Israel. I just gave goalon heights, recognized goalon

264
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: heights for Israel. I've done all of this for Israel,

265
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: and then you have these people. I think that Omar,

266
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe. But I hear Omar

267
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: today put in or yesterday put in a sanctions bill

268
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: against Israel and other things beyond sanctions. So when I

269
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: hear that, you just can't talk about our country that way,

270
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: and when people are angry at them, I fully understand

271
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: it that the political shoe that you're having the Congressman,

272
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: Omar and the rest of the democratic direction is the

273
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: good things politically for you turn people off. I don't

274
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: know if it's good or bed politically, I don't care.

275
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: But when people are speaking so badly, when they call

276
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: our country garbage, are to think of that? That's worse

277
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: than deplorable when they call our country garbage. I don't

278
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: care about politics. I don't care if it's good or

279
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: bad about politics. Many people say it's good. I don't

280
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: know if it's good or bad. I can tell you this.

281
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: You can't talk that way about our country, not what

282
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm the president. So I think they've said horrible things.

283
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: They're anti Semitic, and you look at the kind of

284
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: statements they've made about Israel. It's a disgrace. Certain betweenis refreshment.

285
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: They have First Amendment rights to say what they want

286
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: about our country. That's what the Constitution guarantees. Do you

287
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: see not agreeing with you as the same thing as

288
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: hating the country? Sort Yeah, they have First Amendment rights,

289
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean I'm happy about them saying And

290
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: when they say bad things about us, we can certainly

291
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: feel and again we have First Amendment rights also, we

292
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: can certainly feel what and say what we want. If

293
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: you're a statement to say, see what two tanks. So

294
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna be speaking with the UK. And this only

295
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: goes to show what I'm saying about Iran. Trouble, nothing

296
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: but trouble. And remember this, the agreement, the ridiculous agreement

297
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: made by President Obama expires in a very short period

298
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: of time. It was a short term agreement. When you're

299
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: dealing in countries, you have to deal in fifty years

300
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: and a hundred years. You don't deal in the short term.

301
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: I was a ridiculous agreement, and it goes to show

302
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: you I was right about Iran. And let's see what happens.

303
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: But I know that it's not American ship, it's UK.

304
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: I guess it could be one, could be two, and

305
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: we'll be speaking to them. They have a new prime

306
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: minister coming soon and that's a good thing for the UK.

307
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: Go ahead and said that American is the laughing talk

308
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: of the world. That you don't believe in American and capitalism.

309
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: Why agapering you to criticize America but not democratic coalm.

310
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: I believe all people of great people. I believe everyone

311
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: is great. But I love our country and I'm representing

312
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: our country and people can't go around speaking about our

313
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: country and saying garbage. This is the greatest country in

314
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: the world. We now have the strongest military by far.

315
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: We had a depleted military when I took over. We

316
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: spent seven hundred and sixteen billion dollars last year, seven

317
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars a year before. We have a great,

318
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: powerful military, more powerful than we've ever had before. We

319
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 1: have the greatest economy on earth, not even close. You

320
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: can't speak about our country the way those four congressmen

321
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: they said garbage. They say things about Israel that's so

322
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: bad I'm not even going to repeat them right now.

323
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: They can't get away with that. Act not the right.

324
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: These women have said horrible things about our country and

325
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 1: the people of our country. Nobody should be able to

326
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: do that. And if they want to do that, that's

327
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: up to them. But I can't imagine they're going to

328
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: do very well at the polls. And I say this,

329
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 1: If the Democrats want to embrace people that hate our country,

330
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: people that are far so far left that nobody's ever

331
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: seen anything like it, If they want to embrace people

332
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: that are so anti Semitic and anti Israel, they want

333
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: to do that, that's up to them. But I don't

334
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: have to do that. I think what they say and

335
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: what they've said is a disgrace to them, to the Democrats,

336
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: and frankly to our country. A long time ago, yeah,

337
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. I had to fall ago. I will

338
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: h I didn't get along with them. Wait, wait in

339
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: a Sibery cot to a home wherever you want a

340
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: phone poll about I don't really know. I'd have to

341
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: look into it. That's a long time ago. Plastic flaw.

342
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: I do think we have bigger problems than plastic straws.

343
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting about plastic straws. So you have

344
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: a little straw, but what about the plates, the rappers

345
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: and everything else that are much bigger and they're made

346
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: of the same material. So the straws are interesting. Everybody

347
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: focuses on the straws. There's a lot of other things

348
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: to focus. But it's an interesting it's an interesting question, Hurt,

349
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: go ahead, talk up. Just Hung Poe is his Chinese

350
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: counting party. So how does the walk again? So Secretary

351
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: Manuchin did have a call with the Chinese counterpart. They

352
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: had a very good talk. We'll see what happens. We're

353
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 1: dealing with China. We're doing very well. They are not

354
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: doing very well. They had the worst year they've had

355
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: in twenty seven years, and we're having the best year

356
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: we ever had. So we're doing well. But let's see

357
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: what happens. And our farmers are doing very well because

358
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: I've taken some of the billions of dollars of tariffs

359
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: that we collect from China. We collect billions and billions

360
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: of dollars of fees and tariffs, and I gave it

361
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: to our farmers. Talk about false information was fake news. No,

362
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: we I talk about it, but they didn't advise me.

363
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: They told me, but I didn't. It's faked, by the way,

364
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: what you're saying fake news. Well, Rand is a friend

365
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: of mine, but I have really fifty three very good friends,

366
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: and they're in the Senate. I also have a lot

367
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: of friends. You saw that the other day when they

368
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: brought a ridiculous vote up and only four Republicans out

369
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: of hundreds voted against. So I have a lot of

370
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: great friends. I'm ninety four percent in the Republican Party

371
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: approval rating. Rand is a friend of mine, and Rand

372
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: asked me if he could get involved. The answers yes,

373
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: And if other senators asked me to get involved, I'd

374
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: probably say yes, depending on who they were. We'll see

375
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: what happens. But I have many people involved, and Randa

376
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: is gonna work out very nicely. Randa is showing their

377
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: colors gonna work out very nicely. Randa is in big

378
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: trouble right now. Their economy is crashing. It's coming to

379
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: a crash. They're trying to bring soldiers back home because

380
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: they can't pay them. A lot of bad things are

381
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: happening to them. And it's very easy to straighten out,

382
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: or it's very easy for us to make it a

383
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: lot worse. You say it, so you know what's racist

384
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: When somebody goes out and says the horrible things about

385
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: our country, the people of our country that are anti submitted,

386
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: that hate everybody, that speak with scorn and hate, That

387
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: to me is really a very dangerous thing. I think

388
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: these four congressmen, and I could say some worse than others,

389
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: but if you look at the statements they've made when

390
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: they call the people of our country and our country garbage,

391
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: when they hit Israel the way they've hit Israel so hard,

392
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: so horrible, I think, to me, that's a disgrace and

393
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: we should never forget it. We're dealing with people that

394
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: hate our country. No, let me tell you. They had

395
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: an impeachment vote the other day. Just a big waste

396
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: of time. It's a disgrace. No other president should ever

397
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: have to go through it. And the vote was a

398
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: totally lopsided vote, with many Democrats voting in favor. As

399
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, they already took their impeachment vote.

400
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: And the impeachment vote was so lopsided it was a

401
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: it was a massive victory. And you know what, at

402
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: some point they have to stop playing games because they're

403
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: just playing games. No, I won't be watching molaw get

404
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: just trust for top line and I have community men

405
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: up the computer. They take good. What would you not

406
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: to take by the private day of Jimbabwe. Head of

407
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: the function that you went to vote to Zimbabwe say

408
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: can I he will be hard for them? Four you guy,

409
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: we're looking at Zimbabwe right now. Go ahead. You have

410
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: been The first Lady feels very strongly about our country.

411
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: The first Lady thinks that it's horrible what they've said

412
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: about Israel and horrible what they've said about our country.

413
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: These congresswomen, they can't call our country and our people garbage.

414
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: They can't be anti Semitic. They can't talk about evil Jews,

415
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: which is what they say, evil Jews. That's what the

416
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: first lady. All right, The President now walking away a

417
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: lot to absorb there. The first observation is we just

418
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: had confirmation the Iranians have seized two oil tankers in

419
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: the ever so strategic Straits of Ormuz. Rightly, the President

420
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: points out, well, we have very few tankers there because

421
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 1: he has pursued a policy of energy independence that is

422
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: truthful and honest and important because it's less strategic for

423
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: us than ever before. President affirming our strong friendship and

424
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: alliance with of course Great Britain, went on to say

425
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: about Iran that they are about to crash. He's talking

426
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: about the sanctions have been devastating, which is why I

427
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: believe we're seeing a lot of the saber rattling and

428
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: the incidents now moving forward. And he said, well, it's

429
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: gonna end one way or the other, and there's a

430
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: lot is they're in a lot of trouble, and then

431
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: said he that they're bringing home soldiers because they can't

432
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: afford to pay them. I know from my intelligence sources

433
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: that there is a lot of internal strife within Iran.

434
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: That means people in Iran have been standing up protesting,

435
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 1: risking their lives, many in prison, some have been killed

436
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: as they want a regime change there. Shockingly, but not shockingly,

437
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: the media wanted to talk an awful lot about the squad,

438
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: and the President kept reiterating the point that you can't

439
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: call all America, the United States of America garbage. And

440
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: we have outlined repeatedly the anti Semitic comments like Congresswoman

441
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: Omar and others. And he said to somebody said, well,

442
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: what about their First Amendment rights? He said, yeah, well,

443
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: we have First Amendment rights too, And if you say

444
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: the United States is garbage and you say things that

445
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: are anti Semitic and hateful, we have the right to

446
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: point that out as well. And when you speak badly

447
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: about our country, well, we happen to have the strongest

448
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: economy right now on the face of the earth, which

449
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: is also true. Anyway, here to joining us right now

450
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: is my good friend and colleague Jennifer Griffin from The

451
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: Pentagon reporting on what's been going on in the Straits

452
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: of Hormuz. I gotta imagine there's a lot going on

453
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: behind the scenes right now where you are Jennifer Griffin. Hi, Sean, Well,

454
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: what has been particularly surprising in the last hour is

455
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: to find out that it's not one, not two, but

456
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: three oil tankers that Iran is now holding against their will.

457
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: Two were taken today. We've confirmed one is a British

458
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: oil tanker, the Stina Impiu, and one is a Liberian tanker.

459
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: It's not clear when the Liberian tanker was taken, but

460
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: we do know that the the British flag tanker was

461
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: passing through the Straight of Hormos when it was seized,

462
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: and that we have a statement from the shipping company.

463
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: The UK Security Council is having an emergency meeting about

464
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: how to respond. And while these are not American oil tankers,

465
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: it is definitely a disruption to the flow of oil

466
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: and the flow of shipping and freedom of navigation in

467
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: that very vital Straight of Hormos. Vaggan just interrupt you

468
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: for one second for our affiliates on the Sean Hannity

469
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: Shield network right now, I just want you to know

470
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: we will be continuing our coverage and bypassing this current

471
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: break if you need break, we understand. We go back

472
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: now to Jennifer Griffin now telling us, in fact, Three

473
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: oil tankers have been seized in the ever important Straits

474
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: of Horror Moose. These straits well known for the traffic

475
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: of oil and known for its strategic importance at guaranteeing

476
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of every economy on the face of this earth,

477
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: which is the free flow of oil at market prices.

478
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: Three tankers, I'd only had two, so now we have

479
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: a third one Jennifer. Yes, in fact, Sean. The third

480
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: tanker we've confirmed as a Liberian oil tanker. We don't

481
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: have its name at this moment and it's not clear

482
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: whether it was taken before or after this British flag

483
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: Stina Impyu. We do have a statement from the British

484
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: shipping company saying that the Stina Impiro was approached by

485
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: unidentified small crafts Iranian ships and a helicopter during transit

486
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: of the Strait of Hormuz and the vessel was in

487
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: international waters. They are unable to contact the vessel. There

488
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: twenty three seafarers on board. We learned yesterday that the

489
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: Iranians had admitted that they were the ones who seized

490
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: the United Arab Emirates oil tanker that went missing over

491
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: the weekend. The UAE has been very quiet, most likely

492
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: because they are out there in the region, sitting right

493
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: across from Iran, and tensions are very high between that

494
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: in that very tight region, as you mentioned, and so

495
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: the UAE did not immediately come out and suggest that

496
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: the oil tanker that was missing had been taken against

497
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: its will. But we now know that Iran, according to

498
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,959
Speaker 1: US official is holding twelve sailors on board that UAE

499
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: tanker against their will. So that would mean four tankers

500
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: now have been taken three three total. So you're saying

501
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: the one. Originally there was reports of a second British tanker,

502
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: and you're saying there's only one that we can confirm.

503
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: What we can confirm is that over the weekend a

504
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: UAE tanker was taken by the Iranians. There was some

505
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: confusion and over that for a number of days, but

506
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: the Iranians released video showing their fast boats taking that

507
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: tanker toward Iranian waters. We do know about that one

508
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: at this point. Today two tankers were taken, a British

509
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: flag tanker this Stina Impiro, as well as a Liberian tanker.

510
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: All right, Jennifer Griffin, my Fox News colleague at the

511
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: Pentagon today Jennifer, thank you. We hopefully we'll check back

512
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: in with you later on what's so amazing. I mean,

513
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: there's a possibility now of significant real military action and

514
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: you just heard your medium mob. It is beyond it.

515
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: Just is everything I've said about their sickness, their psychosis,

516
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: this rage and fixation on just hating Donald Trump. Really

517
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: the squad and their significance at this moment is it's

518
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: non existent compared to what may potentially be happening with

519
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: Iran and the Straits of Hormones. Let me explain the

520
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: Straits of Hormones for those of you that don't know.

521
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: It is a very narrow passageway which strategically historically has

522
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: been one of the main points where the world's oil

523
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: passes through. The Straits. On one side, you have Iran.

524
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: On the other side you have the UAE. N o'mam. Now,

525
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: what's important about that is what Jennifer Griffin had said.

526
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: Now that we can confirm, Fox News is confirmed that

527
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: a UAE tanker had been seized over the weekend. Add

528
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: that to what has happened just in the last hour

529
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: hour and a half two hours. One British tanker, one

530
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: Liberian tanker. Add that to the other saber rattling, and

531
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: that of course being the shooting down of an American drone.

532
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: What happened yesterday, the President's response, and all of this

533
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: as a result of the President not following in the

534
00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: footsteps of the appeasement policies of Biden Obama and laying

535
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: cash and other currency from cargo planes one hundred and

536
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: fifty billion on the Tarmacs and Iran. They think they

537
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: can get away with it. What you have in the Straits,

538
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: this is a very narrow waterway, very strategic waterway. It

539
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: is only twenty one miles wide at its narrowest point,

540
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: with the shipping lane just two miles wide in either direction.

541
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: That's how small this is. Now, these are international waters,

542
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: and literally the Straits or Hormuz. They link the Gulf

543
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the

544
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: south and the Arabian Sea beyond it. The UAE the

545
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: Soudiast have sought to find other routes to bypass the

546
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: Straits or Hormuz, including building more oil pipelines. This matters

547
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: because well, let me just give you the numbers. Almost

548
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: one fifth of the world's oil passes through the Straits

549
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: or hormus. Okay, Now, the President rightly pointed out, well,

550
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: we're we have very few tankers now passing through the

551
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: Straits because of the policies of energy independence that he

552
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: has pursued with a passion since his first day in office.

553
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: But a fifth of the world's oil again, oil gas,

554
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of every economy, passes through those straits, and

555
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: some seventeen point four million barrels of oil per day

556
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: versus the consumption of about one hundred million barrels per

557
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: day in twenty eighteen. Now open, how much time do

558
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: we have here? A little? What time we go? All right,

559
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: we'll take a break, we'll come back. Three tankers seized

560
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: in the Straits or hormones by Iran, we'll have the

561
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 1: very latest. Next you're gonna be speaking with the UK.

562
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: And this only goes to show what I'm saying about Iran. Trouble,

563
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: nothing but trouble. And remember this, the agreement, the ridiculous

564
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: agreement made by President Obama expires in a very short

565
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: period of time. It was a short term agreement. When

566
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: you're dealing in countries, you have to deal in fifty

567
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: years and a hundred years. You don't deal in the

568
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: short term. I was a ridiculous agreement, and it goes

569
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: to show you I was right about Iran. And let's

570
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: see what happens. But I know that it's not American ship,

571
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: it's UK. I guess it could be one, could be two,

572
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: and we'll be speaking to them. They have a new

573
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: prime minister coming soon and that's a good thing for

574
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: the UK. Rand asked me if he could get involved.

575
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: The answers yes, And if other senators asked me to

576
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: get involved, I'd probably say yes, depending on who they were.

577
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens, but I have many people involved,

578
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: and Rana's gonna work out very nicely. Randa is showing

579
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: their colors gonna work out very nicely. Randa's in big

580
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: trouble right now. Their economy is crashing. It's coming to

581
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: a crash. They're trying to bring soldiers back home because

582
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: they can't pay them. A lot of bad things are

583
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: happening to them, and it's very easy to straighten out,

584
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: or it's very easy for us to make it a

585
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: lot worse. Very easy to straighten out and very easy

586
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: for us to make it a lot worse. Cladja with

587
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: us our two Sean Hannity Show if you have just

588
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: joined us. That was the President moments ago in a

589
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: press conference. We have now gotten a lot of new information.

590
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: It appears that it is not just one tanker or

591
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: two tankers. It appears to be four tankers now that

592
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: have been seized one the UAE from a couple of

593
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: days ago. I'll explain probably why we had not heard

594
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: about that two British tankers and one Liberian tanker there

595
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: is now the President pointed out in his little gaggle

596
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: with the press. He did point out that we have

597
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: very few tankers in the Straits of hor moves and

598
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: what but we do apparently the US. This is now

599
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: being reported on the wires that the US is taking

600
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: measures to protect one ship near where the two British

601
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: tankers were seized by Iran. So that means we have

602
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: armed aircraft in a region and we're ready to go.

603
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: And according to a US defensive official with direct knowledge

604
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: at the hour, the US military is monitoring the transit

605
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: of a US commercial cargo ship through the Straits of

606
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: Hormuz using armed aircraft overhead. The US will not say

607
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: the location or give any other details. This transit typically

608
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: take six to eight hours, and the seizure of two

609
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: ships was clearly pre planned, coordinated an Iranian Revolutionary Guard operation.

610
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: According to US officials, both tankers were boarded by a

611
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: Republican guard of the Iranians and taken into Iranian waters.

612
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: They were all in, they were all in their proper area,

613
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: if you will. It's it's obviously a situation that is unfolding.

614
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of insane. But we the President

615
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 1: got more questions about the squad and about freedom of speech,

616
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: and President repeated over and over again, well, when you

617
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: talk about the US as being garbage the way that

618
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: has happened, and when you talk about in very anti

619
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: Semitic tones, Israel the way they have. Sure they have

620
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: a First Amendment, but if they're going to talk about

621
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: badly about America, when I'm the president, I'm going to

622
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: talk about the good of America. But is what they're

623
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 1: saying is not true about America. The President also talked

624
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: about the military, the dramatic increase in spending seven hundred

625
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: and sixteen billion dollars this year alone, seven hundred last

626
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: year alone, the first year of his presidency seven hundred

627
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: billion dollars, pointing out it is the greatest military on

628
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 1: the face of the earth. We also have the greatest

629
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: economy on the face of the earth. And Iran, now

630
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 1: he keeps saying, is going to work out very nicely.

631
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: President doesn't seem to have a lot of fear in

632
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: any way in his voice. Let me also say that again.

633
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: I want to just give you some background on the

634
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: Straits of Horn moves. Strategically, It's always been very important

635
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: lifeblood of every economy. I say it every day, is energy, oil,

636
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: and gas. America now, for the first time in seventy

637
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: five years, is energy independent. We're now a net exporter

638
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: of energy that had never happened before. Those were the

639
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: policies of the president. Previous presidents have basically capitulated to

640
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: the pressure of environmentalists, which made us forever dependent on

641
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: foreign oil, even from countries that hate our guts and

642
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 1: the EBB and flow of whatever the hell they felt

643
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: like charging us. The Straits of Horn moves very very

644
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: narrow straights. On one side, you have Iran, on the

645
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: other the UAE Oman and which is probably why we

646
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 1: didn't hear about the UAE tanker that had been seized

647
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: a few days ago. It is a link it links

648
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: the Gulf North to the Gulf of Oman to the south,

649
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: and the Arabian Sea beyond that. It's an eight hour

650
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: operation getting through those narrow straits. Or they're about it's

651
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: about it's twenty one miles wide at its narrowest point,

652
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: with the shipping lane just two miles wide in either direction.

653
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: They're talking about a very very tight lane for this

654
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: oil to pass through. Now, how much oil passes through

655
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: you might be wondering. Almost one fifth, that's twenty percent

656
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: of the world's oil passing through the Straits or Hormos.

657
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: That would be seventeen point four million barrels of oil

658
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: a day. We as a world consume about one hundred

659
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: million barrels of oil per day. OPEC members, the Saudis,

660
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: the Iranians, the UAE, Kuwait, Iraq export most of their

661
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: crewd comes straight through the Straits of Hormus. Cut Or

662
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: is the world's biggest liquefied natural gas exporter. They send

663
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: a lot of their product through the straits also. And

664
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: because of the US sanctions, as the President has point out,

665
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: they've been extremely effective, and that the Iranian economy is

666
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: now pretty much down on its knees and crashing is

667
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: the word that the President used. They're in a lot

668
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: of trouble now, and either way, he points out, it's

669
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: going to work out very nicely. And these sanctions were

670
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: imposed by the President aimed at halting their again oil

671
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: exports because of their pursuit of nuclear weapons. And Iran now,

672
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: of course, I think a lot of the saber rattling

673
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: is as a result of trying to pressure European allies

674
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: of ours to pressure us to get back into this

675
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: insane deal which would allow them to build nuclear weapons.

676
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: The problem with the Iranians have a nuclear weapons is

677
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: it's a simple math equation. A squared B squared C

678
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: squared radical mullah's that want to destroy Israel, the United

679
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: States and advance the caliphate, that think it's it's justified

680
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 1: to strap bombs on children, to kill Jews and Americans

681
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: and anybody that disagrees with them, that really adopts the

682
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: convert or die caliphate. Yeah, they are a threat to

683
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: the whole world. You give them weapons of mass instruction

684
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: and then you're worried about a modern day nuclear holocaust.

685
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: And they have threatened this before, and now that they

686
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: have escalated to this level, I've got to believe that

687
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: military plans are actively being spoken about as we now

688
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 1: bring you the show. Joining us now as Daniel Hoffman,

689
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 1: Daniel Hoffman knows a lot about Iran. He's thirty years

690
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: the CIA ops officer, also a Fox News contributor. Thanks

691
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 1: sir for being one of us. What are your initial

692
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: thoughts on all of this now that now that we

693
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: know four tankers have been seized, Well, you know, I

694
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 1: think it's important for us to go back to July fourth,

695
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: when the UK Royal Marines East in Irani an oil

696
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: tank or transporting fuel to Syria in violent elation of

697
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: EU sanctions, and it was only a few days later

698
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: that Iran threatened to retaliate, and that was when the

699
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: UK raised the threat level to critical. And now we're

700
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: seeing Iran retaliating by seizing oil tankers. They are clearly

701
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: trying to interfere with the flow of oil through the

702
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. But you know,

703
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: Iran is certainly capable of mounting these sorts of attacks.

704
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: But with the US Bahrain based fifth Fleet in the region,

705
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: there's no way that Iran could close the water where

706
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: but they'll certainly seek to drive up oil prices, and

707
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: again at the at the end of the day, what

708
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 1: they're trying to do is this, along with nuclear blackmail,

709
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: induce US to return to the very flawed nuclear deal

710
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: and eliminate those sanctions which, as you correctly pointed out,

711
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: are crippling Around's economy. The one thing I could say

712
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: with certain Dan Hoffman is President Trump is not going

713
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 1: to bribe the iranium mullus. He's not going to drop

714
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty billion dollars in cash another currency

715
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: on their tarmac so that they can the world's number

716
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: one terrorist state. They foment terror, they fight proxy wars,

717
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: and I actually think they've overplayed their hand here now

718
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: because you and I have discussed privately what nobody really

719
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: in the media has paid attention to the moment in

720
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 1: history that nobody maybe would have imagined even five years ago,

721
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: and that is as a result of Iranian hostilities and

722
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: the potential Iranian hegemony in the region. Well, we now

723
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: have alliances the US, Israel, the Jordanians, King Abdallah, General

724
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: Alsisi in Egypt, the Saudis, the Emirates, They're all aligned

725
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: against this Iranian aggression, which would mean to me that

726
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: the one thing that I think ultimately has to happen,

727
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: and I do not ever want a ground war again.

728
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: I've been talking about the next generation of weaponry so

729
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: we don't have to send kids door to door like

730
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 1: we did in Iraq ever again. But with all this

731
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: new military might we have, it seems to me that

732
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: moment's gonna come when those nuclear sites of Rano going

733
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 1: to be taken out. Your thoughts, well, that's certainly possible.

734
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: You know, the administration has a pretty clear policy right now.

735
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: It's we're not going to return to that flawed nuclear deal,

736
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: which did not deal with Iran's ballistic missile capability, allowed

737
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: the sunset clauses on the nuclear program, and didn't touch

738
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: iron state sponsor of terrorism. At the same time, we've

739
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 1: mounted what a very flexible, proportional response to Iran's military

740
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: aggression in the Persian Gulf, and we've offered an off

741
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: ramp to negotiate, and all of that restraint and sensible

742
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: policy is what's bringing us closer with European and other allies.

743
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: Just recently, India has offered to assist with some of

744
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: the security through the Strait of Hormus and in the

745
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 1: Persian Gulf. That's obviously critical for US. South Korea to

746
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: pan also on board, in addition to the other allies

747
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 1: you mentioned. So I agree with you think that Iran

748
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: is going to continue to mount ramp up their military aggression.

749
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't result in what would be an

750
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 1: all out war. That would be regimes suicide for Iran

751
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: and irrational on their part. Well, now the Brits is

752
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: certainly on our side, and probably that now awakens the

753
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 1: stupidity of some of the other leaders in Western Europe.

754
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: What do you think? I agree with you. I think Iran,

755
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: by taking this aggressive military action, is uniting all of

756
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: us against them. They had tried. One of their key

757
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: tenants to their national to their strategy was to try

758
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: to divide US from European allies. Remember, to get the

759
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: Europeans to provide them with sanctions, releet and financial assistance,

760
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: skirting around the sanctions that we impost. That proved to

761
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: be possible, and now the Europeans are understanding that Iran

762
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: really is a nefarious actor and that we've got to

763
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: take a hard line towards them, albeit one with the

764
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: restraint you've shown thus far. But remember we have the

765
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: USS Abraham Lincoln and be fifty two bombers in the region,

766
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 1: and if it crosses our threshold a red line, we

767
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: will end their regime. Do you agree with me that

768
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: there's going to have to be at some point a

769
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: military action if they obviously, if they're not willing to

770
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: give up their nuclear program, we can't allow the radical

771
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: Islamic extremists to have these weapons. Do you agree with me?

772
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 1: At some point strategically they'd have to be taken out. Well,

773
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: here's the problem. Right now, Iran is stockpiling low grade

774
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: uranium at levels beyond that was what was allowed in

775
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: the nuclear deal. They're also beginning to enrich uranium to

776
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: weapons grade levels. If they enrich the uranium to weapons

777
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: grade levels, to the but do we really know where

778
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: they are? I mean, part of the idiocy of the

779
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: Obama Biden deal is we didn't have anywhere, any time inspections,

780
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 1: and we didn't have our own inspectors, and there's certain

781
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: sites we can't even go to. That's how dumb they were, right,

782
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: and this is the challenge for our intelligence community and

783
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: where frankly, we also work with their allies in the

784
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: region and beyond. But One of the key requirements I

785
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: can tell you from my experience from the executive branch,

786
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: from the President and his advisors to the intelligence community,

787
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: is a where are the nuclear facilities and where are

788
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: their vulnerabilities? And then the President can decide on what

789
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: options there might be if needed, to eliminate those facilities

790
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 1: before they enrich uranium to such a level that Iran

791
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: would have a nuclear bomb and threatened the right, I

792
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: gotta take a break, stay right, that's not the one.

793
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: All right, gotta take a break. Eight hundred and nine

794
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 1: four one Sean if you want to be a part

795
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: of the program, will continue if you're just joining us.

796
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: The Straits or Hormus Iranian aggression. Four tankers have been

797
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: seized to British, one UAE, one Liberian tanker. The President

798
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: has commented and he said pretty much either way, this

799
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: is going to work out fine with iron quick break

800
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: right back. We'll continue exposing the Feloci Party's chaos and

801
00:51:55,840 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: corruption all day, every days. This is a Sean show,

802
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: all right, breaking news if you just are joining us.

803
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: We now have four oil tankers seized in the Straits

804
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: or Hormus by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Two British, one Liberian,

805
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: and apparently a few days ago we weren't aware of it,

806
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: probably because of the close proximity across the streets or Hormuz.

807
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: One UAE tanker. Also the President commenting on it earlier

808
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: and he basically saying Iran's economy is crashing, very confidently saying, oh,

809
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna work out, and they're in a lot of

810
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: trouble right now, especially I think based on strategic alliances

811
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: that now have been built Dan Hoppin, I think I

812
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: can say this CIA ops officer thirty years. I think

813
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: I know the President's thinking on this, having interviewed a

814
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: many in times. He is not going to get involved

815
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: in a long protracted conflict. The President and took off

816
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: the handcuffs in Syria, and guess what the caliphate isis

817
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: was beaten back. He bombed the crap out of them,

818
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: and the rules of engagement changed dramatically from one of

819
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: handcuffing our troops to allowing the troops to do their job.

820
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: I would imagine the President is not going to allow

821
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: the Iranians to keep the straits or horr moves and

822
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: hold the hostage. And I would imagine that there's going

823
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: to be an alliance that will engage Iran if this

824
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: behavior continues, and I wouldn't be surprised if something happened

825
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: as early as today or tonight. Yeah, Sean, I agree

826
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: with you one percent about this straight of Hormos. I

827
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: think what we also need to watch for is it

828
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 1: run amounts asymmetric warfare against US. They know they can't

829
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: go toe to with the United States military they'll lose,

830
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: but they've got proxim militias Lebanese, his Ballah militias in Iraq,

831
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: the Yemen, the Houthis, and Yemen. They tried to kill

832
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: the stating ambassador here in the United States. And so

833
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: the concern, I think in our intelligence community and also

834
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: domestically here in the United States will be the Iran

835
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: seeks to mount additional attacks against US, an asymmetric warfare

836
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: beyond the Persian Gulf, and that is also something that

837
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: we'll be looking at it. And And I'm sure you'll hear,

838
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: whether it's back channel or over messaging from our administration

839
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 1: that if Iran attempts to do that and attacks our

840
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: people and our installations even via their proxies, there will

841
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: be hell to pay on the Iranian side in their territory.

842
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,720
Speaker 1: We know, thank you, Dan Hoffman, thirty years ci opts

843
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: officer knows Iran well. I know the President's strategy. It's

844
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: not going to be a protracted war. It's going to

845
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: be overwhelming force and he has a lot of allies

846
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: to do it. I'll tell you the likely moves that

847
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: are coming if this continues. So we're going to be

848
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: speaking with the UK. And this only goes to you

849
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying about Iran trouble, nothing but trouble.

850
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: And remember this, the agreement, the ridiculous agreement made by

851
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: President Obama expires in a very short period of time.

852
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 1: It was a short term agreement. When you're dealing in countries,

853
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: you have to deal in fifty years and a hundred years.

854
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: You don't deal in the short term. I was a

855
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: ridiculous agreement and it goes to show you I was

856
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: right about Iran. And let's see what happens. But I

857
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: know that it's not American ship, it's UK. I guess

858
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: it could be one, could be two, and we'll be

859
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: speaking to them. They have a new Prime Minister coming

860
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: soon and that's a good thing for the UK. Rand

861
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,439
Speaker 1: asked me if he could get involved. The answer is yes,

862
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: And if other senators asked me to get involved, I'd

863
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: probably say yes, depending on who they were. We'll see

864
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: what happens. But I have many people involved, and Iran

865
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: is gonna work out very nicely. Rand is showing their

866
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: colors gonna work out very nicely. Iran is in big

867
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: trouble right now. Their economy is crashing. It's coming to

868
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: a crash. They're trying to bring soldiers back home because

869
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: they can't pay them. A lot of bad things are

870
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: happening to them, and it's very easy to straighten out,

871
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: or it's very easy for us to make it a

872
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: lot worse. Very easy to straighten out, very easy to

873
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: make it a lot worse. Oh, Iran's gonna work out

874
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: very nicely. That was the President earlier today. If you're

875
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: just joining us, a lot of breaking news. We now

876
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: have four tankers that have been seized by the Iranian

877
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 1: oil tankers in the ever so strategic important Straits of

878
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: Horror Moves, the President reiterating is alliance that we have

879
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: with the UK. Two of them were from the United Kingdom.

880
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: We also have the issue of one Liberian tanker has

881
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: been seized by the Revolutionary Guard of Iran. And we

882
00:56:55,280 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: have one UAE tanker, apparently Fox confirming our own and

883
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: Jennifer Griffin telling us this has happened now just a

884
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: few days ago. The world didn't know about it. I

885
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 1: assume because of geographic concerns. You know, the Straits, as

886
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: I've been pointing out to everybody, is only at its

887
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: only twenty one miles at its narrow list point twenty

888
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: one miles wide, and this is the shipping lane for

889
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: the majority, well a significant portion of the world's oil,

890
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: which is the lifeblood of every economy. A full twenty

891
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: plus percent, a fifth of the world's oil passes through

892
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: those straits, some seventeen point four million barrels of oil

893
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: a day. Just to give you some comparison, the world

894
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: consumes almost one hundred million barrels of day. So it's

895
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: a fifth of the world's oil. And you know, this

896
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: is why this has been so strategic. I just want

897
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: to give you some insight. So a lot of you

898
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: are thinking, all right, well, well, what is the reaction

899
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: to all of this. Well we do some reaction now

900
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: from Great Britain. Their Foreign secretary now says that he

901
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: hopes quote that they will resolve the tanker hostage crisis

902
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: by working with Britain's international partners. I'm not sure what

903
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: that means, but if he's thinking about negotiating with Iran,

904
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: good luck with that. The British Foreign Secretary's name is

905
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hunt said he's concerned, yeah, no, no kidding about

906
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: the seizure of these two ships by the Iranian authorities

907
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: in the Straits of Hormuz, and the UK is attempting

908
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: to resolve the situation in Tehran with international partners. I'm

909
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: extremely concerned by the seizure of two naval vessels by

910
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: Iranian authorities in the Straits. I will shortly attend a

911
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: meeting to review what we know and what we can

912
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: do to swiftly secure the release of the two vessels,

913
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: British flag vessels and a Liberian flag vessel Reuters. Now

914
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: you know telling, Yeah, there was two of them and

915
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: they were both headed towards Iran after sing through the

916
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: Straits of Hormuz, and we now know that the Revolutionary

917
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: Guard intercepted them and basically took them hostage. There's a

918
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: lot of considerations here. Number one, Uh, there are people

919
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: and people's lives involved in this, and so that obviously

920
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: would be factored into any any military considerations. On the

921
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: other hand, there's no way that the president and our

922
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: allies are going to allow this to stand. And you know,

923
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: if there's one thing, you know, what, what is the

924
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 1: president's goal militarily? I mean, it's it's a lot of

925
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: people have questions about it. That's why when the media

926
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: went off after the Drome was seized with these again insane, psychotic, ridiculous, uneducated,

927
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, uh, belief systs that they have about Donald Trump.

928
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: It's so it's so distanced from any truth and reality

929
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: and thing I can say, as somebody that has interviewed

930
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: the President as much as anybody else and also have

931
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: a history of twenty three years with Donald Trump, I

932
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: know he's thinking on all of this, and he's very firmly,

933
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, to the extent possible, a non interventionist and

934
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:23,919
Speaker 1: meaning that the President does not want long military entanglements.

935
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: In other words, I can assure you, based on all

936
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: of these interviews that I have had with the President,

937
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be sending boots on the ground or

938
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: proving of boots on the ground in a long protracted

939
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: conflict with Iran, that's not going to be what the

940
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 1: answer is here, Now, what do we know about the Iranians.

941
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: We know that the sanctions have been absolutely utterly devastating

942
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: to the Iranian economy. As the President pointed out earlier

943
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: to the their economy is an utter mess. They just

944
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: they're about to crash. They're they're in a lot of trouble.

945
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons that Iran has been saber

946
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: rattling this way is because of the effectiveness of the

947
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 1: Trump foreign policy. What is the Trump doctrine? The Trump

948
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: doctrine is non interventionist in that sense, but he also refuses,

949
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: as he stated many times during the short press conference today,

950
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: although the media was disgusting, you know, all they cared

951
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: about was, well, what about freedom must media? What about

952
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: what the squad and the squad and the I'm like, guys,

953
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 1: we're on the verge of war with Iran, because that's

954
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: what's there's not they're not. This is not going to stand.

955
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: But we also know a lot more about the President's thinking,

956
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: and he revealed it again today. The President's not going

957
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:59,919
Speaker 1: to follow the usual predictable appeasement policies like we saw

958
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: with Bill Clinton and Kim Jong Ill, Kim Jong UN's father,

959
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: where we're gonna try and bribe dictators and then lighted

960
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: the American people and tell us there's a good deal

961
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: of American people, a good deal. It wasn't a good deal,

962
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: and offering money and we will be nice if you'd

963
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: be nice. What do you need, I'll take care of it,

964
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: But you gotta give me your word. It's never gonna work.

965
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: The same thing that Obama Biden did. Who would ever

966
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: think when you have a regime that whose belief system

967
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: is to advance a convert or die caliphate. The number

968
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: one world sponsor of terrorism is Iran. The number one

969
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: world sponsor or terrorism Iran. The number one funding source

970
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: for proxy wars is Iran. The ones that have been

971
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: saying and chanting death to America, death to Israel are

972
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: the Iranians. The ones who have been burning our flags

973
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: and the Israeli flags are the Iranians. It is a

974
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: simple mathematical formula the world. You would think we learned

975
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 1: something in the last hundred years of human history. You

976
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: think maybe we would have learned the lessons about evil

977
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: in our time. We know appeasement and you know there's

978
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: the Churchill comparisons to all of this versus Chamberlain. Oh,

979
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: thank goodness, Nazisms on the march all over Europe. But

980
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: I met with Hitler and things are going to be

981
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: much better now. No, they weren't. And you know, it

982
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: was a lie and a false belief system, just like

983
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: liberals today. It's a false belief that you can negotiate

984
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 1: with people that you got. You got to understand what

985
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: motivates and drives them. What motivates the Iranian Mullah's is

986
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: their sick, ugly twisted, radical extreme ideology that that kills

987
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: Americans in Iraq, that foments terror worldwide, the phones terror worldwide.

988
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm one state sponsor or terror and fights proxy wars.

989
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: A mindset that is convert or die, being like them

990
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 1: or die. That's what you're dealing with. So now you

991
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: put convert or die and you know people that would

992
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: even strap bombs on their own children, promise them virgins

993
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: in heaven and tell them they're doing God's will, Allah's

994
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: will if they kill innocent men, women and children, especially

995
01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: Israelis are Americans, and they're gonna go to heaven. And

996
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: if they just pull the cord and kill themselves and

997
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: blow themselves up and kill innocent people. All right, Now

998
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: you take it on a much bigger level, and the

999
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: bigger level would be that thick, twisted, ugly ideology that

1000
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: would do it to their own kids. You know, these

1001
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: people never do it to themselves, always get other people

1002
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 1: to do it. They're just leading to caliphate. But they're

1003
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 1: not gonna strap the bombs on themselves anyway. Now you

1004
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: on a worldwide level, they're stated caliphate, they're stated radical

1005
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: extreme ideology. Now you marry it with nuclear weapons. Now

1006
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 1: we're not talking about a pizza parlor or a shopping

1007
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: mall somewhere where dozens can die or a hundred can die,

1008
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: or a large number of all innocence. And now we're

1009
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: talking about a potential holocaust in our time. Now you

1010
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: might say, Hannity, that sounds extreme. Well, I wrote a

1011
01:05:56,040 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: book about evil, cold deliverers from evil, and what I

1012
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: the amount of research I did it is painful. The

1013
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 1: last century alone, one hundred million human souls destroyed, murdered

1014
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: in the name of let's see communism, fascism, Nazism. And

1015
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: we had Imperial Japan and one hundred million we saw

1016
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:31,959
Speaker 1: a holocaust. In in that century, we fought a World War,

1017
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: two World wars. You know, it's all about now, what

1018
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: do we know about this president. This president now thankfully

1019
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: has spent a lot of money, and he pointed this

1020
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 1: out in his prescount seven hundred and sixteen billion his

1021
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: first year, seven hundred billion. Last year, frankly did an

1022
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: economic deal he didn't want to do, but he wanted

1023
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: the money for the military. Why because what is the

1024
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: president's thinking is he doesn't want to long protract at war.

1025
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: And we saw this play out in Syria because the

1026
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 1: policies of Obama were abandoned where literally the military's hands

1027
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: were tied and they had these insane rules of engagement

1028
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump saying nope, beat them win. That's what

1029
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: Churchill did. Great Britain called on Winston Churchill at that

1030
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: moment because you know, peace in our time never happened.

1031
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: And during the bombing of Britain, there is this one,

1032
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: lone historic figure that walked among the people of Britain

1033
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 1: during the bombing of Britain. That's something that you usually

1034
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: have prime ministers and presidents due Piletill's sweat day to

1035
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: the victory, and I said to those who have joined

1036
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: the government, I have nothing. You offer a blood coil,

1037
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: kid and strick. You aren't right. It up on the team,

1038
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: I will say it is to wage war by sea,

1039
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: landing there with all our might, all all the strength

1040
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: as Jod can give us, to wage war against a

1041
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: monstrous curity never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalog

1042
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 1: of human crime. You are taken on train. One word victory,

1043
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:28,799
Speaker 1: victory all costs, victory in spite of old Cara, victory

1044
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: of a long and hard the road. Maybe I would

1045
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: play it long, but it makes my point here. You

1046
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: have people that are openly advocating a policy of terror

1047
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 1: and murder and their way or the highway death. And

1048
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 1: now if you have they ever get weapons of mass destruction?

1049
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 1: What does that mean? So the president doesn't want boots

1050
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: on the ground. President's not going to use boots on

1051
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: the ground. What have I been saying for a long time? Now?

1052
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: America's future because of the by politicizing wars after we

1053
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:08,679
Speaker 1: start them and sending our national treasure to fight them,

1054
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: only to change our minds later. We need the next

1055
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 1: generation of military might where we can do what we

1056
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 1: need to do from well let's us say an office

1057
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 1: in Tampa or somewhere else in America, and that would

1058
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: mean at some point, if this regime continues and they

1059
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:36,520
Speaker 1: are pursuing nuclear weapons, we cannot allow that mathematical formula

1060
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:40,640
Speaker 1: to occur where radical Islamis with weapons of mass destruction

1061
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: to equal a modern day holocaust, We're going to have

1062
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: to take out the sites. No, I don't want a war.

1063
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: I don't want boots on the ground. I don't want

1064
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: a protracted war. But they're gonna have to go, and

1065
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: you'll see an alliance I predict with Great Britain, the

1066
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: United States. I don't know about these other appeasers in

1067
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 1: our time. Who cares? We don't need them. Well, we'll

1068
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:04,520
Speaker 1: have the Israelis, We'll have the Egyptians, we'll have the Jordanians,

1069
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: We'll even have the Saudis, We'll have the Emirates, and

1070
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: the world will be a safer place. Israel knocked out

1071
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Iraqs nuclear sights in the eighties worldwide condemnation. Thank god

1072
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: they did it. A few years back, they knocked out

1073
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 1: Syrian sights too, hardly even reported on. Well, let's hope

1074
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: that in this case we can get that done, all right,

1075
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine for one Sean Tolfrey telephone number, final

1076
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: hour on a Friday, coming up. So we're gonna be

1077
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: speaking with the UK. And this only goes to show

1078
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying about Iran. Trouble, nothing but trouble. And

1079
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: remember this, the agreement, the ridiculous agreement made by President

1080
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: of Obama expires in a very short period of time.

1081
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: It was a short term agreement. When you're dealing in countries,

1082
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: you have to deal in fifty years and a hundred years.

1083
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 1: You don't deal in the short term. I was a

1084
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: ridiculous agreement, and it goes to show you I was

1085
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 1: right about Iran. And let's see what happens. But I

1086
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: know that it's not American ship, it's UK. I guess

1087
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: it could be one, could be two, and we'll be

1088
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: speaking to them. They have a new prime minister coming soon,

1089
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: and that's a good thing for the UK. Rand asked

1090
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: me if he could get involved. The answer is yes,

1091
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: And if other senators asked me to get involved, I'd

1092
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: probably say yes, depending on who they were. We'll see

1093
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: what happens, but I have many people involved, and Iran

1094
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 1: is gonna work out very nicely. Randa is showing their

1095
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 1: colors gonna work out very nicely. Randa is in big

1096
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: trouble right now. Their economy is crashing. It's coming to

1097
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 1: a crash. They're trying to bring soldiers back home because

1098
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: they can't pay them. A lot of bad things are

1099
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: happening to them. And it's very easy to straighten out,

1100
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 1: or it's very easy for us to make it a

1101
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: lot worse. That's the president earlier today. What is oil?

1102
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 1: It is the life blood of every economy, the world's economy.

1103
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 1: And you know it's funny. I got sweet baby. James

1104
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: actually looks at some of the crazy stuff that crazy

1105
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: people said. That Hannity's calling for war against the Writt No,

1106
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm not not at all. If you're just joining us.

1107
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 1: We now have four confirmed oil tankers that have been

1108
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 1: seized by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and two of them

1109
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: are British, one is Liberian, and a couple of days

1110
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 1: ago we now in by the way, these are international

1111
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 1: waters and one of them the UAE. And now, how

1112
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: do you get from that, Hannity to the idea that

1113
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 1: the Iranian nuclearist sites have to be removed? I am not.

1114
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: I want to be very very clear here. I have

1115
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 1: been saying now for some time on this program and

1116
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 1: on TV that I am not in favor anymore of

1117
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 1: fighting any war in West less we have an intention

1118
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 1: to win it. This is not about a war with Iran.

1119
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 1: President's strategy in Syria worked magnificently. They took off the handcuffs,

1120
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 1: you know, the rules of engagement of our military men

1121
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 1: and women, and he literally went backwards. They pushed the Caliphate,

1122
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: worked all their way back to the first city in

1123
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:45,839
Speaker 1: Syria that the Isis took over, and the Caliphate was defeated.

1124
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean it won't pop up in some way, shape, manner,

1125
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: or form. But a lot of people were killed because

1126
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: the military was allowed to do its job. Now in

1127
01:13:56,600 --> 01:14:01,680
Speaker 1: this day and age post Vietnam, fifty eight thousand American

1128
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: kids died in that war. That's our national treasure. This

1129
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 1: is that we love our children and they they they

1130
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 1: heeded the call their country asked them to go fight.

1131
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: Then the war becomes politicized and at some point we

1132
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: say never mind. And then if you look at Iraq

1133
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 1: and Afghanistan, many of the same you know, the politicizing

1134
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: of that war happened. And while I would argue that

1135
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:37,640
Speaker 1: really the caliphate being defeated in Isis and Syria and

1136
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 1: big deal, and you know it went to a place.

1137
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: We can't let it go again. We can't have American treasure,

1138
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: our sons and daughters knocking on every single going door

1139
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 1: to door in Baghdad or in Ramadi or wherever the

1140
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: hell that you know, god forsaken place that they have

1141
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 1: to go. And I have been now for a long

1142
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: while discussing what we have to do as a country

1143
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: because we can't ask people to go fight wars, put

1144
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: handcuffs on them, rules of engagement, politicize it, criticize them,

1145
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 1: and frankly abandoned the effort without victory. There has to

1146
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 1: be some to find victory. Here's my fear about Iran

1147
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 1: Prime minister in Datan Yahoo, who I've also known for

1148
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: twenty plus years. He is now the longest serving prime

1149
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: minister in Israel's history, now recently passing Bengorian, the first

1150
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 1: prime minister of Israel. And I hope and I pray

1151
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: that the prime minister, I mean, their parliament parliamentary system

1152
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:54,280
Speaker 1: is so messed up that here Bbe wins a massive

1153
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: election and he's one vote shy of forming a government.

1154
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 1: How we had to do it again? It's insane. If

1155
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 1: you're in Israel, you want bb to be the prime minister.

1156
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:10,839
Speaker 1: He has been before Trump, the one single voice of strong,

1157
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:18,480
Speaker 1: clear moral clarity. Prime Minister Netanyahu has been a Churchillian

1158
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 1: figure on the world stage. So what am I saying about? Okay, well,

1159
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 1: are we going to allow? And I've gone over this

1160
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: in the course of the program. I'll remind you again

1161
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: the Straits of Hormuz. They are less strategically important to

1162
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:38,680
Speaker 1: us than they have ever been because we're for the

1163
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: first time in seventy five years, we're energy independent, we're

1164
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: net export of energy. Finally, a president that's not giving

1165
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: in to these environmental extremists and is saying, why should

1166
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 1: we count on countries that hate us for what it

1167
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: is the lifeblood of not only our economy but the

1168
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: world's economy. Which shows the New Green Deal abandoning oil

1169
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: and gas in ten years is it would be the

1170
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: single quickest fastest decline into poverty and pain and misery

1171
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 1: this country's ever seen. If these radical democrats have their way.

1172
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 1: Separate issue at its narrowest point. Now again, if you're

1173
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 1: looking at Iran, Okay, then the Straits of Hormos very

1174
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:30,759
Speaker 1: narrow waterway at its narrowest point only twenty one miles wide.

1175
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: Shipping lane, by the way, is meaning you got to

1176
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:37,879
Speaker 1: keep it between the borders if you will, or the lines.

1177
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 1: It's just two miles wide in either direction. That's how

1178
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 1: precarious is this is in international waters. About a fifth

1179
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 1: of the world's oil passes through the Straits of Hormos

1180
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 1: every single day. That's about nearly twenty million barrels of

1181
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: oil per day versus a little shy of one hundred

1182
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,680
Speaker 1: million barrels per oil per day that are used according

1183
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: to twenty eighteen numbers, the latest numbers that we have,

1184
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:10,599
Speaker 1: so about roughly twenty percent. Now the Iranians, who are they? Okay,

1185
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: it's run by a bunch of radical Islamic extremists that

1186
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:22,680
Speaker 1: have been telegraphing and saying death to Israel, death to America,

1187
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: that have said they're gonna wipe Israel off the map

1188
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:29,440
Speaker 1: and wipe America off the map. Of given the opportunity

1189
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: for some idiotic reason, you have people that believe in appeasement.

1190
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,679
Speaker 1: That's why I was bringing up the Chamberlain Churchill analogy earlier,

1191
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 1: and you know, appeasers, that doesn't work. You can't bribe

1192
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 1: Kim Jong Ill good to ill America, and you can't

1193
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 1: bribe Iranian Mullus. This is the number one state sponsor

1194
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: of terror worldwide. It is the number one funding source

1195
01:18:56,200 --> 01:19:01,799
Speaker 1: of terrorist groups worldwide. It has been fighting proxy wars

1196
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 1: for years. They were killing American soldiers in Iraq. Well, Hannity,

1197
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're calling for war. No, I'm not

1198
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 1: calling for war. I agree with the President, I think,

1199
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:15,600
Speaker 1: and what I've been calling for is the next generation

1200
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: of American weaponry. We will never ever, ever have to

1201
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: ask America's sons and daughters to put their boots on

1202
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: the ground in a place that doesn't want us there. Now, thankfully,

1203
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: this is not as important to us as it once

1204
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 1: was the Straits and hor moves, but it's important to

1205
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 1: the world, and it really is. You know, only one

1206
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 1: country that has to be involved if this is going

1207
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,760
Speaker 1: to be successful. And my mathematical formula is if you

1208
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: buy into this sick, rigid, converted die ideology that would

1209
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 1: strap bombs on children in the name of religion and

1210
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: kill innocent men, women and children, especially Jews and Americans,

1211
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: then if you give allow those same radicals to get

1212
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, it could result in a modern day holocaust.

1213
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:10,640
Speaker 1: What do you mean, Hannity, what is that? What are

1214
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,799
Speaker 1: you saying? I'm saying a square B squadical C squared

1215
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: radical Islamic extremists with nuclear weapons could be a modern

1216
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 1: day holocaust. Well, how do you you're really going off

1217
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 1: to the depend I wrote a book Deliver Us from Evil,

1218
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:29,600
Speaker 1: and in the last century chronicled one hundred million plus

1219
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 1: human souls dead the Holocaust, it happened, Nazi Germany, happened, fascism,

1220
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 1: real communism, Stalin real, the killing fields Cambodia, pulp pot

1221
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: real one hundred million. So if the Iranians think that

1222
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to control the world's economy

1223
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: and impact twenty percent of the world's economy and can

1224
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: troll the straits or moves, and they think they're gonna

1225
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 1: get away with taking tankers hostage again the lifeblood of

1226
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: every economy in the world, somebody needs to tell the

1227
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: squad this. They better have another thing coming now. So

1228
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: what do you do if you don't support war, you

1229
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: don't support group boots on the ground. At some point,

1230
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: if the Iranians are going to continue their ambition towards

1231
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, coupled with their sick twisted ideology. That is

1232
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: a risk I don't believe the world can or should take. Well,

1233
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 1: then what's the answer, Well, the answer is the next

1234
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:44,640
Speaker 1: generation of weaponry we now have. Great Britain certainly is

1235
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: on our side today. The Israelis are on our side today,

1236
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: and we now know that because of the threat of

1237
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 1: Iran in the region. We now know the Jordanians, the Egyptians,

1238
01:21:56,800 --> 01:22:01,040
Speaker 1: the Saudias, the Emirates and everybody else is on our side.

1239
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: It's the only people that are on a rand side

1240
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 1: would be putin the sick twisted actor that he is

1241
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:11,640
Speaker 1: hostile regime, hostile actor that he is, by the way,

1242
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: the way to bring Russia to his knees, outproduce them

1243
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 1: and get our oil energy natural gas over to Western

1244
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 1: Europe cheaper than he can do it. Do that, it's

1245
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 1: over for Russia, over for I Ran too, if we

1246
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:30,680
Speaker 1: really outproduce them. But at some point, if they continue

1247
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: their ambition of nuclear weapons, the only answers on boots

1248
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 1: on the ground and it's not a war. They continue

1249
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: taking tanker's hostage, they continue the saber rattling. They continue

1250
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: the pursuit of nuclear weapons coupled with their sick ideology.

1251
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: We just have to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons. No,

1252
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't want a war. I want there would be

1253
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:59,440
Speaker 1: now a justification for strategic strikes with a world alliance

1254
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: such as I mentioned and maybe other Western European allied

1255
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 1: partners in this. And there probably are about five key

1256
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 1: sites that would need to be taken out where the

1257
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: most enrichment of uranium weapons grade uranium would be happening.

1258
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. No, I don't want. I want

1259
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 1: all future wars to be fought from here with the greatest,

1260
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 1: most sophisticated next generation of weaponry, so we don't have

1261
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 1: to ask our children and our grandchildren and our great

1262
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 1: grandchildren to put on the boots and go to some

1263
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:41,720
Speaker 1: godforsaken place. I don't care about regime changing ran that's

1264
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: up to the Iranian people. All I'm concerned out of

1265
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:48,719
Speaker 1: preventing radicals from getting nuclear weapons. Radicals that have threatened

1266
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: to wipe countries off the face of the earth, That's

1267
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:55,640
Speaker 1: what I'm worried about, and ones that are obviously stupid

1268
01:23:56,840 --> 01:24:01,679
Speaker 1: because the Iranians they really don't know who they're messing with.

1269
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: I think the President has shown great patience, probably will

1270
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,720
Speaker 1: show more, but there's coming a time where this is

1271
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to probably happen eight hundred nine one. I

1272
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: promise we're gonna get to a lot of calls here.

1273
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 1: That's the latest Hannity Tonight ninetiestern on the Fox News Channel.

1274
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: We literally will have the very latest on this and

1275
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: a sick, ugly media today. All they wanted to talk

1276
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:30,600
Speaker 1: about was the squad, not about tankers being seized in

1277
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: the strategic straits or horn moves, which is so sick.

1278
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: All right, as we continue, Sean Hannity, all right, maybe

1279
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 1: it's maybe it's me, Linda, Am I being clear about

1280
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: me not wanting varn a war? Am I clear? I'm clear? Yeah,

1281
01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:54,639
Speaker 1: I'd say Crystal. Can I be any more specific? No,

1282
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,639
Speaker 1: I mean, we have a media that's asking about plastic straws. Well,

1283
01:24:57,680 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: we're trying to find out that's what they did. It

1284
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: was disgusting what they did today. Maybe we should play

1285
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 1: a little of that when we get back. I know

1286
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to I want to take

1287
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 1: calls in the last half hour, but all I'm saying,

1288
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: is I believe in simple math E equals MC squared.

1289
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 1: Isn't that the speed of light? Sure? Sure? Okay that

1290
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 1: was a music major, so I wouldn't take answers for

1291
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:28,959
Speaker 1: a squared A squared post. Is that a mathematical formula? Okay?

1292
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: Radical mullahs with with weapons of mass destruction people that

1293
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 1: I have no problem killing other innocent people that don't

1294
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:41,599
Speaker 1: think the way they do with nuclear weapons. Um, does

1295
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: that have the potential, real potential of a modern day

1296
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 1: holocaust in your view? Yeah? Yeahuff is really scary. Yeah,

1297
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,879
Speaker 1: it's really scary. And one hundred million around human souls

1298
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: were killed in the last century alone. Listen, we visited

1299
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,599
Speaker 1: Israel's Godza strip twice. Communism, it's fascism, and this stuff

1300
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 1: is real. Stuff is real. And all I'm saying is

1301
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to boots on the ground, but I'm

1302
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:07,679
Speaker 1: just saying, if these guys are getting close to a nuke,

1303
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: those sites gotta go. That's it. Simple math to prevent

1304
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,960
Speaker 1: C squared A squared B squared radicalism, nuclear weapons, modern

1305
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 1: day holocaust potential. I don't want that to happen. Your

1306
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 1: calls are next, all right? Twenty five till the top

1307
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: of the hour on this Friday. You know, I was

1308
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: thinking a lot about some of the positions of Congresswoman

1309
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: Omar and I heard what the President had said, and

1310
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, go back and when you fix the you know,

1311
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 1: the country of her origin, which happens to be Somalia,

1312
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 1: she's a citizen. And the President even tweeted, you know,

1313
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 1: you were welcome to stay or god, whatever you want

1314
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:46,040
Speaker 1: to do. The media never highlights that part of it.

1315
01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,040
Speaker 1: And then he said, well, when you fix their problems,

1316
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 1: maybe you can come back and teach us. And I

1317
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 1: think he was being but I think the President, in

1318
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,719
Speaker 1: his own way, was saying, yeah, we're the greatest, best

1319
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 1: place God ever has given man. And some of the

1320
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 1: outrageous things that you have said, anti Semitic remarks you

1321
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 1: have made, you know that you think you're a better

1322
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 1: citizen than other Americans, And you know what a lot

1323
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: of people, I think it just find the whole thing

1324
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:17,480
Speaker 1: repugnant and offensive, anti semited, all about the Benjamin's oh yeah,

1325
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 1: what does she say about Israel, that they're liars and

1326
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: comparing Israel to let's see Nazi Germany, really and Iran,

1327
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:31,599
Speaker 1: you can't be that ignorant of history. Apparently she is.

1328
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 1: And then of course she went for leniency and wanted

1329
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 1: leniency for nine people that wanted to join ISIS. I

1330
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 1: don't want a leniency for people that want to join ISIS.

1331
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 1: I want the book thrown at them. Now. I think

1332
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 1: on top of that, I think that one of the

1333
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: worst things that Congresswoman Omarris said was when she started laughing.

1334
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 1: Let's play her talking about al Qaeda and Hezbollah and

1335
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 1: the way we talk about know what happened that little

1336
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:04,720
Speaker 1: thing that happened on nine to eleven, Some people did something,

1337
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 1: as she says, the thing that was interesting in the

1338
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 1: class was every time the professor said al Kaeda, he

1339
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 1: sort of like his shoulders went up, and you know

1340
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 1: it is al Qaeda, you know, hospital and experts, and

1341
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 1: it was you know, as his name to see him

1342
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: on Yeah, of course I love those guys. But you know,

1343
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: but but but it is. It is that you don't

1344
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:38,720
Speaker 1: say America with an intensity. You don't say England with

1345
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:42,639
Speaker 1: an intensity, you know, you don't. You don't say um

1346
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 1: the Army with an intensity, Cardo. But you say these

1347
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: these names because you you want that that word to

1348
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:57,280
Speaker 1: carry weight. You want it to leave something doing exactly

1349
01:28:57,439 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 1: So it's it's you know, it's it's said with a

1350
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 1: deep voice. You know, if you ask anybody in walking

1351
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:05,839
Speaker 1: on the side of the street somewhere in the middle

1352
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 1: of the world, they will tell you America the Great,

1353
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: but we don't live those values here. And so that

1354
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:17,600
Speaker 1: hypocrisy is one that I'm bothered by. Care was founded

1355
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 1: after nine eleven because they recognize that some people did

1356
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:26,920
Speaker 1: something and that all of us were starting to lose

1357
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:31,919
Speaker 1: access to our civil liberties. Now I just maybe because

1358
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 1: some people did something and laughing, oh the professor the

1359
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:41,560
Speaker 1: way he would say, al qaida, I'm like, I'm my

1360
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 1: blood boils, it really does. I was in New York

1361
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:51,600
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven. We saw two buildings get slammed

1362
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 1: with commercial commercial planes. We saw people that decided their

1363
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:01,360
Speaker 1: skin is burning off. Let me jump out the window

1364
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 1: from the one hundred and whatever floor because it's gonna

1365
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:08,000
Speaker 1: feel better than this and I'm not gonna make it anyway.

1366
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:12,080
Speaker 1: We watched our fellow Americans in those towers. We watched

1367
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 1: those towers collapse after another group of people, you know,

1368
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,240
Speaker 1: while everyone's trying to get down in the hell out

1369
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 1: of there. They're going up in the other direction to

1370
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 1: help save people. They die too. And then you look

1371
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:28,439
Speaker 1: at the Pentagon. Well, Barbara Olsen was a friend of

1372
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 1: this program. We lost her and everybody else when that

1373
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: plane hit the Pentagon. We learned a phrase called let's

1374
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 1: roll field in Pennsylvania. Every nine to eleven on this

1375
01:30:45,320 --> 01:30:50,840
Speaker 1: program we play something by Michael W. Smith, and when

1376
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:53,600
Speaker 1: he plays it in concert with an accompanying video, it

1377
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:58,200
Speaker 1: is very powerful. We'll put that accompanying video on our website.

1378
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 1: We made a little alteration to it though, because it

1379
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:07,040
Speaker 1: includes sound of the day nine to eleven. Now we're

1380
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 1: just going to add some of Congresswoman on Mars repugnant

1381
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:17,200
Speaker 1: comments just to make a point. Listen, this just into

1382
01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:20,679
Speaker 1: our newsroom. A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center.

1383
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 1: Another apparently that was another plane seized. An airplane has

1384
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:35,120
Speaker 1: crashed into the World Trade Center lost. There appears to

1385
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:40,759
Speaker 1: be a gaping hole. There goes, there goes, there goes,

1386
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:54,040
Speaker 1: there goes. The full side has collapsed. A filing by

1387
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:04,040
Speaker 1: It was founded after nine eleven because they recognized that

1388
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:10,080
Speaker 1: some people did something. We are planes have crashed into

1389
01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center. This we're not going to be

1390
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 1: cowered by it. That we're not afraid of threeful friend

1391
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 1: the freedom loving nations and the world stand by our side.

1392
01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 1: Stars rout to have the red, white and blue whiss.

1393
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 1: We're not lamp to way rout to be a part

1394
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 1: of his country. Je me, I think about the families,

1395
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 1: children to the freedom itself was attacked and freedom will

1396
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:52,519
Speaker 1: be defended every time. The professor said, okay that he

1397
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 1: sort of like his shoulders went up. And you know

1398
01:32:55,640 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 1: it's command of kaya. You know, hospital experts. You don't

1399
01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:03,680
Speaker 1: say America with an intensity. You don't say England with

1400
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:07,639
Speaker 1: an intensity. You know you don't you don't say um

1401
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:31,320
Speaker 1: the army with just some one to raise nations is

1402
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 1: pretty interested. She stands. You know, if you ask anybody

1403
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:40,160
Speaker 1: in walking on the side of the street somewhere in

1404
01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 1: the middle of the world, they will tell you America

1405
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:47,479
Speaker 1: the great, But we don't live those values here. Um.

1406
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 1: And so that hypocrisy is one that I'm bothered by.

1407
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 1: You didn't see the United States and degree. If I

1408
01:33:55,200 --> 01:34:04,519
Speaker 1: would courageous ardenity, then we will not forget the twenty

1409
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 1: eight hundred people Place and fire not only were heroes

1410
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,719
Speaker 1: at the beginning, but they're still heroes, and then with really,

1411
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:18,800
Speaker 1: we're going to come out of this emotionally stronger, and

1412
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 1: the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of

1413
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:31,240
Speaker 1: our time. But those guys should anyone ever expected over

1414
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:34,639
Speaker 1: this truth. They messed with the wrong city, They messed

1415
01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 1: with the wrong stake. Nobody wants to face how the

1416
01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:43,280
Speaker 1: actions of the other people that are involved in the

1417
01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 1: world have contributed to the rise of the radicalization and

1418
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:54,519
Speaker 1: the you know, the rise of the terrorist acts. And

1419
01:34:54,640 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 1: I just don't want people to forget they all have

1420
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:07,360
Speaker 1: a sense of duty to protect us all we step

1421
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:13,880
Speaker 1: fast in our determination. The rest of the country now

1422
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 1: understand who the true defenders are. Made the Irish hills,

1423
01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:26,320
Speaker 1: Korussian make her lakes and rivers blushies. We see, we

1424
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:29,240
Speaker 1: made the look of the Irish introls. You we've seen

1425
01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 1: stem made the blessings of Saint Patrick. Behold all the

1426
01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 1: God blessed Ireland and God blessed the United States of America.

1427
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 1: She stands now America's embracing a new ethic and a

1428
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:54,479
Speaker 1: new creed. Let's roll the phrase new York's Finest and

1429
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:59,439
Speaker 1: New York's Bravest mean something now, it doesn't This is

1430
01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,720
Speaker 1: a time to reflect and be thankful for where we

1431
01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:13,200
Speaker 1: are today, and through we will rebuild New York City stills. Yet,

1432
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:15,719
Speaker 1: after America was attacked, it was as if our entire

1433
01:36:15,760 --> 01:36:18,479
Speaker 1: country looked into a mirror and saw our better selves.

1434
01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:24,240
Speaker 1: I think it just speaks for itself. This country is

1435
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 1: not perfect. This country didn't deserve what happened on nine eleven.

1436
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:33,160
Speaker 1: Or did we need to hear lectures from Congresswoman oh

1437
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:38,240
Speaker 1: Mar that our policies caused terrorism in the mall in

1438
01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:42,920
Speaker 1: Kenya or that we need leniency for people that want

1439
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:46,759
Speaker 1: to join Isis. I've seen the beheading videos on the beach.

1440
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,639
Speaker 1: Nor do I want to hear any congresswoman ever laugh

1441
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:56,960
Speaker 1: oh my professor, the way he says al Qaeda, I

1442
01:36:56,960 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 1: don't think it's funny. I don't think any of these

1443
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:03,680
Speaker 1: moments are funny. I find her comments repugnant. I don't

1444
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:07,960
Speaker 1: want to shut her down. I don't want to silence anybody,

1445
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 1: but I just want people to understand. You know that

1446
01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:18,760
Speaker 1: this all about the Benjamin's. Israel's hypnotize the world. Israel's

1447
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:22,600
Speaker 1: like Nazi Germany. How about I mean, how far do

1448
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: we have to go here? And people are asking well,

1449
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,599
Speaker 1: what do you think happen in North Carolina. I think

1450
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:32,120
Speaker 1: the people in North Carolina are like me and find

1451
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 1: it repugnant what he has said. And these policies are insane.

1452
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:42,760
Speaker 1: The New Green Deal is nuts. And then you know

1453
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:45,800
Speaker 1: congresswoman to leave first words out of her mouth as

1454
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:51,440
Speaker 1: a congress mother, effer. You know. Look, I like America's

1455
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:57,040
Speaker 1: success in the last two and a half years. I

1456
01:37:57,200 --> 01:37:59,880
Speaker 1: start as the forgotten man and woman. I start with

1457
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:04,000
Speaker 1: no money in my adult life and financially independent, honestly,

1458
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,920
Speaker 1: except for a bed and food in the refrigerator. Since

1459
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm what ten eleven twelve, never asked any money ever

1460
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:15,160
Speaker 1: from my parents. They never paid for college. They did

1461
01:38:15,200 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 1: pay for my high school, not that they were meeting that.

1462
01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:21,960
Speaker 1: I didn't need it. I had my own money, didn't

1463
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:24,679
Speaker 1: want it. I was fiercely independent when I was young

1464
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:30,919
Speaker 1: am today. This country gave this to us. This country

1465
01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:35,960
Speaker 1: There's never been, i'll quote Barry Farber, a country in

1466
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:38,559
Speaker 1: the history of man that has accumulated more power and

1467
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:41,559
Speaker 1: abused it less. And I add to that, there's never

1468
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 1: been a country like the United States of America that

1469
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:49,320
Speaker 1: has accumulated more power and used that power to advance

1470
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 1: positively the human condition. And also there's never been a

1471
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:59,519
Speaker 1: country that has accumulated more power than the US that

1472
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:05,799
Speaker 1: has use that power to advance the natural state of man.

1473
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:10,040
Speaker 1: That this this belief that we are all endowed by

1474
01:39:10,160 --> 01:39:16,800
Speaker 1: a creator and the state of God that has given

1475
01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 1: us this gift is freedom. And when you know, I

1476
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:24,720
Speaker 1: hear people say they're they're playing on everybody's fears, the

1477
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:29,560
Speaker 1: same lies that are always told when promises of everything

1478
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 1: will be taken care of. You have no fear your job,

1479
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 1: your vacation, your healthcare, your retirement, your education, your blah

1480
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:41,920
Speaker 1: blah blah. We're asking questions about who's gonna pay for it. Yeah,

1481
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 1: we're asking questions about who's gonna pay for it. We're

1482
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 1: still watching closely the war drums and the saber rattling

1483
01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 1: in Iran as they've seize this British Royal tanker in

1484
01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:55,839
Speaker 1: the Gulf earlier and their clashed with the Royal Navy,

1485
01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:59,040
Speaker 1: and you know, they keep it up, it's going to

1486
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:03,600
Speaker 1: be brutal. And now they are now creating the coalition

1487
01:40:04,600 --> 01:40:13,400
Speaker 1: that will be their undoing Israel, the United States, Great Britain, Jordan, Egypt,

1488
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:20,600
Speaker 1: the Saudis, the Emirates now in alliance against Iranian hegemony,

1489
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:25,280
Speaker 1: the terror that they sew, the proxy wars, their fight,

1490
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:29,559
Speaker 1: the Americans they killed in Iraq. Just a matter of

1491
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:33,920
Speaker 1: time those sights are gone, meaning their nuclear sights. That's

1492
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:37,400
Speaker 1: my prediction. All right. Eight nine one, Shaun is our number.

1493

Speaker 1: All Right, that's gonna wrap things up today, all right, Hannity.

Speaker 1: media today, you know, I mean, very few questions on Iran.

1499
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:05,599
