WEBVTT - When the Left Won’t Answer 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.040 Our two Sean Hannity Show toll free. 0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:04.280 Our number is eight hundred and nine foot one Shawn 0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:07.159 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.840 In a minute, will be joined by former Ambassador Nathan Sale, 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.880 served in the first Trump administration Ambassador at Large for 0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:20.759 counter Terrorism and acting under Secretary of State. However, there's 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:22.959 a lot of news out there as it relates to Iran, 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:25.520 and most of it is good, some of it not 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.319 so good. I have been through this in my life 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.639 where I've had fatwaws, you know, on my head, confirmed 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.839 by the Masad and confirmed by NYPD and our government. 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.920 I've been hacked by the Iranians. I mean, the level 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:44.320 of sophistication all these countries have and their ability to 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.559 hack people is unbelievable. It's not something I talk a 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:52.440 lot about. But in light of Iranian state media broadcasting 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.720 this chilling three minute video fantasizing about killing Baron Trump 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:02.520 and threatening Milania Trump and friends of THEIRS. The clip 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.319 entitled where to kill Baron Trump? You know he's a 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.560 twenty year old kid claiming you know he's fully monitored, 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:15.560 showing depictions of dorms at New York's at NYU ET cetera, 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.480 et cetera. I mean, you got it's a clear and 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.600 present dager. You got to take all of this seriously. 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.560 That's what I tell people when they get threats. They 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.160 don't like to hear it. Other colleagues of mine over 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:26.880 the years that have come to me, what do I do? 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:27.960 What do I do? What do I do? 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.319 And you know, but there is other news that is 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.520 actually fairly good news, and that is that last week 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.440 we had four hundred ships get through the Straight of 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.479 Horn moves and report after report after report showing that 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:48.360 the Iranians now are going bankrupt, don't have the ability 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:53.720 to pay even the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, you know, even 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:58.880 before Treasury Secretary Scott Besson sets out you know, new 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.280 moves to pressure Iran's economy. That's that seems to be 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.040 their weakest point. But anyway, you know, you have oil 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.680 now flowing through the straight o'hr moves, meaning Teyran's gambit 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.560 of closing it has failed. The price of oil has 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.640 come down dramatically, and the news was huge. Now I 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.480 told you on Friday that the Atlanta Fed is predicting 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.280 four point four percent GDP growth for the third quarter. 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.440 Great economic news on top of other economic news that 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.840 we went into great specificity on Friday. But anyway, US 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.919 escorts now have you know, steadily, you know, these ships 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.440 flowing through the Strait a four hundred percent increase from 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.960 just two weeks earlier. And Iran's leaders are now doing 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.640 another roundabout of good cop, bad cop. But the heat 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.160 on Iran to make this deal now is going on 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.760 and on and on. Now President Trump is saying, yeah, 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.400 they want a deal, but we're not ready to do 0:02:55.480 --> 0:03:01.400 a deal. Here's what he said, not work there towards 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.440 broad the fact indicates up the military options in. 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:05.960 The region are limited. 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:07.040 Oh, not at all. 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.200 It just means that we're seeing what happens. They have 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.560 no money, they have no maybe they have no air force. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.639 They are not paying their soldiers, they're not paying their police, 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.480 they have three hundred and fifty inflation. 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.960 So we're just going to sort of see what happens. 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.800 And we have total control, as you know, of the border. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.320 We have total control. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.320 If you look at the blockade, we have total control 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.960 of that entire region having to do with the straight 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:40.520 of Foremones, and that means well into it the land areas. 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.600 So they would love to make. 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.000 A deal, but they're not ready to make the right. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.480 Deal in my opinion, remember any deal they made there, 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.520 there's definitely two factions that are battling for controls, so 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:58.040 that has been problematic. However, when once you get the 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.720 armed forces and THEGC and theynre not getting paid and 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.120 the people not getting paid. Now they're dealing with unrest 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.440 within the country, which usually never ends well, which means 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.520 that this is effective. Here Scott Bessen, the Treasury Secretary, 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:14.320 talking about. 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:19.520 It, Treasury has mapped every node, every facilitator, and every 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.839 network that Iran has used to smuggle oil and evade sanctions. 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:29.279 Beginning today, the actions of Treasury and other agencies will 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:33.240 tighten the noose and block every potential source of revenue 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:38.359 that funds the IRGC and the evil Iranian regime. We 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.880 are enforcing a zero leakage approach. There will be no 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.720 minimal breathing space for the regime to rebuild this capacity 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:50.720 to inflict terror against America and the world. The final 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:55.560 refuge of this regime is a mistaken conclusion of nations 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.039 that still finance the Iranian threat in the hopes of 0:04:59.080 --> 0:04:59.640 evading it. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.080 Right here to weigh in on all of this Ambassador 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.080 Nathan Sales, who we just told you about. Ambassador, great 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:10.120 to have you back. Look, obviously this is working. Obviously 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:14.480 this takes time. Obviously, you know they had had to 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.160 go back and bomb these coastal areas to prevent their 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.640 drones from being launched and missiles from being launched and 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.039 put in their mind sweepers. But apparently all of that 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.559 has been done and they're successfully now getting more oil 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.120 through than they have in a long time. And I 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.240 don't think the Iranians have much of an option here. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.120 I think you're right, Sean, and thanks for having me 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.279 back on It's great to be with you. I think 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.000 we're entering the third act of display. The first act 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.880 was the military campaign that was incredibly successful at destroying 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:50.159 Iran's conventional army and navy, Air Force don't exist anymore, 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.600 as well as the nuclear program. Phase two was the 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.960 diplomatic phase where we were trying to coax it into 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.720 a deal. The problem with diplomacy is the other side 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.279 all gets to vote on whether to take it seriously, 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.880 and it's obvious that the Iranians didn't. So now we're 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.400 in phase three, and in this phase we're going to 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:13.000 maximum economic pressure. It's basically fighting an economic war on 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.200 terms that are most advantageous to the United States. We 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.760 have the ability to absolutely crush their economy using a 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:25.640 combination of sanctions, the blockade, and enforcement on the high seas, 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.719 we can inflect so much more pain on the Iranians 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.279 than they can on us. We're fighting on terrain that 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.920 is most favorable to the United States, and the markets 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.600 are already reacting. Oil prices are relatively stable because Sean, 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.360 as you said, we have done an incredible job of 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.880 escorting friendly ships through the southern route out of Hormeuz. 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.160 Think about ten billion barrels a day. I saw one 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:48.920 report last week that it went up to as many 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.920 as sixteen million barrels a day. That's stuff at the end. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.360 By the way, that's the level that we had prior 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.000 to any of those conflicts starting. 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.760 Yeah. Yeah, So the markets see what we're doing, and 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:04.279 the prices are adjusting accordingly. Meanwhile, how's the Iranian economy looking. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.800 The President has said they're on the verge of bankruptcy. 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.600 They can't pay salaries today. If you go on Google 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.000 and look at the exchange rate of the US dollar 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.920 to the Iranian real it has fallen so low that 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.400 the exchange rate on Google is zero. The currency is 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.200 basically worthless, so much so that your computer can't even 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.400 do the calculation. So this is a long term play. 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.680 We are able to weather whatever kind of economic turbulence 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.320 Iranians try to throw at us, whereas they are in 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.880 an existential fight to keep their economy afloat. 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.320 Okay, now, look, I've dealt with threats throughout my career, 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.240 and you know, I got the NYPD got a call 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.800 from the Israeli Masade at one point and said that 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.560 there's a flat wah on my head. Probably most people 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.440 have no idea what a flat wah is. I know 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.560 you do, but it's a threat against my life. And 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.960 the flat wall was very specific. It's about putting my 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.640 head on a spike at that point. I mean, I 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.760 had security people inside my house around the perimeter of 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:05.200 my house. 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.520 I mean it was taken seriously. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.600 The person that actually put that fat on ended up 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.160 being dead from a drone strike. But that's the story 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.480 for another day. I'm sure you have had threats as well. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.680 I don't I I, throughout my career have have never 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.360 gone public with it. At the time, I always keep 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.680 a private because you don't want to highlight it. And 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.360 you know, however, the Iranians now have gone public with 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.480 this threat against Baron Trump. Now I just happen to 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.440 know that they take it very very seriously, and also 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.040 a threat against Bolani, but also a threat against their friends. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.600 I mean specifically naming people that. 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:44.760 Are in their lives. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.600 So you know, the only answer to me is they've 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.680 got to They've got to. They need security the equivalent 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.640 of the president at this particular point in time. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.720 Well, I think that's exactly right. We have to take 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.160 these threats seriously, because the Iranians certainly do, and they're 0:08:59.280 --> 0:08:59.880 very patient. 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:00.440 You know. 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.880 They issued a fatwah against Salmon Rushdie, the famous author, 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.800 a number of decades ago, and it was only a 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.640 couple of years ago, and I ran supporting terrorists attempted 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.559 to murder him at a literary festival in New York. 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.680 So they have long time horizons for acting out on 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:18.440 threats they tried. 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.800 This was years and years later he wrote The Satanic 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.320 Verses of I Believe the name of the book was. 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.840 Entitled exactly in the Reagan era during the nineteen eighties, 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.320 and forty years later, the bill came due, and so 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.600 we have to be mindful of the full spectrum of 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.800 Iranian threats. It's not just they might shoot a couple 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.679 of drones at American service members in the Middle East. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.840 They try to reach us here at home. They tried 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.520 to carry out assassinations on American soil. They tried to 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.280 carry out kidnappings on American soil to take dissidence back 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:53.240 to Iran where they'll stand in show trials or crimes 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.120 against the revolutionary regime. They worked through criminal proxies they 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.040 actually worked on They've often tried to work through me 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.280 Mexican cartels, which is why the southern border is an 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.720 absolutely critical national security issue. We can't let the Iranians 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:12.040 infiltrate our country by sending operatives up Mexico, which they 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.760 tried to do on a number of occasions. So the 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.680 Secret Service is the best in the business. They're going 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.400 to do what they need to do to protect the 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.880 President and his family and people close. But we can't 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.760 afford to let up because the Iranian assassination threat is 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:25.440 dead serious. 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.760 All right, quick break more with former Ambassador Nathan Sales 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.400 on the other side than your call is coming up 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.920 this Monday. It's toll free. It is eight hundred and 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:34.480 ninety four one, Shawn, if you want to be a 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.160 part of the program. You know, one of the things 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:37.959 that I warned about, and I said that we will 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.240 be talking about and discussing this for decades is the 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.800 four years of open borders under Biden, Harris and Mayorcis, 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.120 even though they proclaimed to the world that the borders 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.640 closed and the border's secure, just like you know, Joe 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.840 Biden was not a cognitive mess is. You know, over 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:59.680 twelve million people, not including god aways, and you're talking 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.520 about unvetted illegals, and they came from well over two 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.480 hundred countries. Many of those countries had terroritized. We know 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.200 there are known terrorists in the country. Now to the 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.800 Credit to Cash Pattel, the FBI, the cracked out on 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:17.720 crime Tom Homan, and obviously the Secretaries of Homeland Security 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.280 Christy Nome now Mark Wayne Mullen, they've gotten rid of 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.280 a lot of the known terrorists. They've gotten a lot 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.480 of the murderers, rapists, child molesters, other violent criminals, cartel 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.240 members and gang members. Now it's very risky work, etc. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.920 Here's the problem. You know, if we want to know 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.280 what our future would have been. Just take a look 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:41.720 at Europe and because of not only the adaptation of 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:49.120 radical climate alarmism, socialism, and unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation. 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.040 You know, look look at what the result is. Iranian 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.560 hackers were able to shut down UK power plants. Now 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.400 I don't know to the extent that this may be domestic, 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.199 because they've allowed people from all over the world to 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.560 not assimilate to their country. Even Bill Maher suggested, if 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.640 you're not willing to assimilate, you do not belong here, period, 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.040 end of sentence, and stop. But that would have been 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.440 our future if Donald Trump didn't shut the border down 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:16.079 and improved. 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:17.920 He can do it in record time, right. 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.400 John, And the border is important for so many different reasons, 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:25.319 economic reasons, law and order reasons, human trafficking, narcotics trafficking. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:30.480 But don't overlook the terrorism threat. As you said, a number, 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.559 a large number, an ultimately unknown number of known and 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.400 suspected terrorists were able to come across the southern border 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.880 during the last four years, and that takes that's a 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.080 mess that's going to take some time to clean up. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.960 I think the administration has rightly prioritized that tracking down 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.880 god aways, tracking down people who are known or suspected 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.920 terrorists along with criminals and drug dealers. But that is 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.120 a long term play. It's not something you can flip 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.160 the switch and just fix the problem overnight. So thankfully 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.120 the team is looking at it very carefully. But as 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.760 long as that border remained open for four years, we're 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.520 going to be dealing with the aftershocks of that for 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:09.520 a long time to come. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:10.000 Yeah. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:11.959 No, I totally agree with you, and I think that 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.440 this is a really dangerous time for people that don't 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:20.840 understand sharia and the long term strategies of radical Islamis. 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.440 They're thinking in terms of a thousand years and their 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.880 goal is, you know, a worldwide caliphate. Can you explain 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.839 that in the nineteen well sixty seconds we have left 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.240 to my best John. 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.160 When it comes to the Iranian regime, the thing you 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.400 have to keep in mind is this is a revolutionary 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.319 regime that came to power in the late nineteen seventies 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:45.520 seeking to remake not just Iranian society, but global society, 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.720 and it became the leader of what it sees as 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:55.040 initially a regional movement to upend secular governments or Sunni 0:13:55.080 --> 0:14:00.560 governments and replace them with similarly revolutionary, violent terrorist regimes. 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:04.439 That's why you see the Iranian regime supporting terror groups 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.200 like Hezbollah in Lebanon, a state within a state that 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:12.000 serves Iran's interest. That's why you see Iran supporting groups 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.440 like the Hushies and Yemen once again, a violent terrorist 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:19.840 group that can destabilize the society from within and promote 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.440 the revolutionary cause of the Iranian regime. That's what they're 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.240 trying to do on a regional scale, That's what they're 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.520 trying to do on a global scale. 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.720 All right, I appreciate your time, and former Ambassador Nathan Sales, 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.920 thank you, sir for being with us. We'll get to 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.320 your calls coming up straight ahead toll free on numbers 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:35.920 eight hundred and nine to FOURT one. Sean, if you 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.760 want to be a part of the program. We have 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.000 the other news of the day. We'll get to that. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.880 The Bidens just won't go away, and it's driving the 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.080 left insane because they can't stand it and they just 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.680 want them to go away. He sees zero experience Hunter, 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:06.080 you know, finally admitting the obvious after being pushed by 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.720 Bill Maher, You know, to answer the question whether he 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:13.640 profited off his father's political office, No kidding, he admitted 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.840 on Good Morning America, no experience and energy, oil, gas 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.920 coal Ukraine. Yeah, but he got paid millions all his 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:25.280 experienced as anybody, Joe Biden, you're not getting a billion dollars. 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:29.160 You're not getting it, you know, cal Barack, I don't care. 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.760 You're not getting He got six hours and son of 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:37.520 a bee. They fired the prosecutor investigating Paris MA holdings 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.080 and his son. What a nice little arrangement. Anyway, he's 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:42.920 zero experience. Hunter on Bill Maher. 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.840 Now, I think a reasonable person who's not filled with 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.200 hay would say, you both took advantage of some of 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.440 your privileges by being the son of a president and 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.080 vice president, and you also were a target now by 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.040 way that a normal person would not have been. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.920 Is that fair. There's a part of that that is fair. 0:15:59.040 --> 0:15:59.240 I had. 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.400 One of the things that people I think don't understand 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.320 is that when my dad was president, I didn't do 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.560 any business. I sold paintings, and I sold paintings to 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.320 people that then had to testify before Congress under oath. 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.360 I made an average of two hundred and twenty five 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:12.160 thousand dollars a year. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.800 Would you have been working for an energy company out 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:15.480 of Ukraine? 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:16.760 With that? Really? 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.520 The thing you studied in school and you. 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.760 Know a job. I went to law school. I got 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.360 that job because you went Okay, I just did Yeah, 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.840 one hundred percent. As I've said on a million interviews, 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:31.440 is that you know, I'm incredibly privileged. I mean beyond 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.960 beyond anyone's wild it's imagination, not only because of who 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.880 my dad was, but because of the father that he was, 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.240 and so a lot of a lot of privilege comes 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:42.520 from that. 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.840 I've got even more interesting when he told mar that 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.200 he's not running for president? Okay, do you think America 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:53.120 would elect somebody? Admittedly that said he was addicted to 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.000 crack I'm not so sure that whatever happened, But anyway, 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:56.480 here you go. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.400 I've seen you with a crack pipe in your mouth. 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.120 My question, are you running for president? 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:06.480 I'm going to announce? 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:08.240 Yeah? 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.160 Exactly? Have you thought about that? Good? 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:10.960 No, I haven't. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:12.840 Here's here's my thing. 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:16.080 If if if I announced for president, then somebody should 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:17.280 check and see if I relapsed. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:17.639 That's what. 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.960 Billy and my free state of Florida. Billy, How are 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.960 you glad you called sir happy Monday? 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.800 Ah well, thank you, brother Sean. I can check you 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:29.800 off my my bucket list there. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.719 Well, thank you for checking in. Glad you're with us, 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:35.480 Glad you live in a state that's free. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.920 Oh man, so am I? So am I? And h Linda? 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.040 How you blowing over there doing? 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.000 Somebody cares about my feelings? 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.320 This Manda stick a fook from me. I'm going no, 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.960 but a couple of points real quick. You know, as 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:57.120 you stated before, the these are the most critical midterms 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:01.000 this country's probably ever seen. And I think it's imperative 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:07.760 that this administration make a clear, concise and convincing arguments 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.200 for not only our intervention in the rhyme, but our 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.720 continue because those people are just that crazy. You know, 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.040 you got ahold of a nuclear weapon, they use it. 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:16.919 You know. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.400 You know I've read recently that one of these woke 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.720 right people made the statement that, you know, they feel 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:28.399 sorry for anybody that thinks radical Islamis are a threat 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:33.920 to America's And you know, I have nothing to say 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:37.359 to stupid there's my answer, you know, And everyone's trying 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:38.640 to drag me into this. 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:41.680 You know fight amongst you know, a small group of. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.800 People that what am I supposed to say to somebody 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:45.760 like that? 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:47.840 If you don't, I'm not going to convince you. 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.639 And you know there's a there's a rising tide of 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:55.480 anti Semitism, and I'm like, I'm sorry, but if America 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.560 lost forty thousand Americans in a day, that's that's the 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:03.000 equivalent based on pop population size. If October seventh happened here, 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.520 what would you want our country to do? You would 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.320 want our country to obliterate whoever did it right. 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.520 Exactly now, I know you know you you refer to 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:17.560 the media as the legacy media mob, and I would 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:19.760 propose something here for you. When I was studying wrestling 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:23.840 in the Air Force, we learned about the about the 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.080 life in the Soviet Union back in the mid eighties. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.560 And this is kind of ironic because those people would 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.760 stand in line for three to four hours in the 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:33.080 hot sun or the sun. 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:34.840 To get bread, a loaf of bread. 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.800 Exactly, they go into the grocery store and it's wiped out. 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.960 And you know they knew that throughout the which is 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.919 the news agency, which translates to the truth, was nothing 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:49.000 but propaganda. It was BS. So they got their information 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.159 through the ulcnated, which means the line, and that's what 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:54.959 they got the news. So I just want to make 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.560 a suggestion, So we coin a phrase today. Shall we 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.159 call it what it is? The propaganda media BIB. What 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:00.520 do you think? 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.640 What are your thoughts on that propaganda medium mob? Prop 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.600 the media mob, legacy media mob. I mean, we all 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.760 know who they are, you know. I'll tell you one 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:14.159 thing is, I'm extremely grateful to be able to do 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.960 this show every day, and do my TV show every night, 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.560 and now to do my podcast a couple of days 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:19.920 a week. 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:21.160 And I'll tell you. 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.280 Why and you give me this honor and I got 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.240 to work hard for your support every day. 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.679 Is because I know we have a vacuum. 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.840 I can tell you right now, the legacy media mob 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.480 is never going to report on anything positive. We see 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:39.920 massive developments the economy, it's like the Titanic is now 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:44.159 shifting and turning dramatically, and we see the conflict with 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:48.520 Iran is dramatically changing, and they're not going to tell 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.640 you we are only seventy one days from the most 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:53.680 important midterms you rightly point. 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:54.399 Out in our lifetime. 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.159 And you know, I look at it as an honor 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.080 to be able to kind of, you know, sound the 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.639 alarm and make people aware. And all I'm saying is, 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:10.000 if you do not want this country to return to well, 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:14.520 actually to make a turn so radical left that we 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.840
