WEBVTT - Deal or Deception 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.360 Our two Sean Hannity Show eight hundred and nine to 0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:04.680 four one Sean. If you want to be a part 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:07.840 of the programmer right, massive developments as it relates to 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:12.479 the issue of Iran with the President this morning and 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:18.079 now confirmed that in fact, the Iranians they want a deal. 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.920 By the way, it's a joke that the Iranian state media, 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:26.360 there is no state media upon the instantaneous announcement that 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:29.400 there is a possibility now that the Iranians may give 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.239 in here. I think that, you know, even the presidents 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.120 saying the war could be settled in a five day 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.280 period if things go well. Let me play the President 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:42.400 from earlier today that Iran has agreed to Knowen Richmond 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.839 even for medical purposes, which is a long way from 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.160 what they were telling Steve Woodcoff and Jared Kushner when 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:53.000 they were negotiating up until Operation Epic Fury began. 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:54.920 Are we doomp into Iran directly? 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:55.600 You know? 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:00.720 Pimal the thank you all right? 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.960 So, and the President said, we've had strong talks with Iran. 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:05.959 If they want to make a deal, we'll make a deal. 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.400 We have had very very strong talks. We'll see where 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.959 they lead. We have points of major points of agreement. 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.560 I would say almost all points of agreement. Perhaps that 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.880 hasn't been conveyed. Communication, as you know, has been blown 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.480 to pieces. They were unable to talk to each other. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.680 But we've had very strong talks. Mister Witchcoff and mister 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:33.800 Kushner had them. They went I would say perfectly. 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:35.960 I would say that if. 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:41.160 They carry through with that, it'll end that problem, that conflict, 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.319 and I think it'll end it very, very substantially. We 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.400 have very much in mind our partners in the Middle East. 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.280 We've had great relationships with a lot of them. As 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.320 you know, a lot of them were surprisingly hit and 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.280 I was surprised to see it, and so was everyone else. 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.720 But we have they're very much in mind and discussions. 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:05.200 So the discussions took place yesterday, they went into yesterday evening. 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.440 They want very much to make a deal. We'd like 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:11.399 to make a deal. 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.440 Too, all right, Then, the President said, Iran, and this 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.960 is critical here. This is what they wouldn't agree to, 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.080 which became the imminent threat. Coupled with the sixty percent 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.799 enriched uranium. He said, they've agreed to not having a 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.440 nuclear weapon. This if in fact this turns out to 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.280 be true. This is game changing. Listen, though, you said there's. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.200 Many points of agreement with Iran, right now, what can. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:38.200 You give us the like fifteen points fifteen points? Yes, well, 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.680 they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. That's number one. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.120 That's number one, two and three they will never have 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:44.040 a nuclear weapon. 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.400 Yes, they've agreed to that. 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.239 That is huge news. And anyway, joining us to analyze 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:54.800 what's going on here, we have doctor Michael Mulkowski is 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.720 with US President's CEO of the Jewish Institute for National 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.440 Security of America, and our friend Ambassador Nathan Sales, who 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.280 served in the first Trump administration as Ambassador at Large 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:09.440 for counter Terrorism and acting Under Secretary of State Ambassador. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.120 I like the idea of hope. It sounds like they've 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.720 just been defeated. You know, it's almost like saying unconditional 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.320 surrender without unconditional surrender. But I do think there's got 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.120 to be a component here. If they have all this 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.280 sixty percent enriched uranium, that's got to be a part 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.320 of it, and I would imagine the President would insist 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:29.560 on it. 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.840 I think so too. The Iranian regime has proven itself 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.400 over the years to be completely untrustworthy. No matter what 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.360 they promise, no matter what they put in writing, the 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.400 key question is always going to be is it actually 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.560 going to be implemented? And you know, for years they 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.920 said we don't have a nuclear weapons program, and then 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.160 Israel knuck into the country and stole their archive and 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:51.840 brought it out for the world to see. Oh, it 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.960 looks like they do have a nuclear weapons program. For 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.880 years they told us our ballistic missiles can only go 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.520 two thousand kilometers. Well they just took a shot at 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.560 Diego Gar about four thousand kilometers away. So clearly anything 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.720 they commit to, anything they say, has to be taken 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.240 with an entire shaker of salt. So right now, I'm 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.480 not surprised that the regime would be desperate for some 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.360 sort of deal to preserve whatever is left of their 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.680 ballistic missile capabilities or their nuclear capabilities. If we're not 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:23.320 going to end the war militarily but diplomatically, right now, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.320 we have to make sure that the endgame accomplishes all 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:30.200 of our military objectives, no nuclear program whatsoever. And as 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.080 we've seen, their ballistic missile program is even more dangerous 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:34.880 than we thought it was. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.160 That's got to go to agreed, Doctor Mukowski, what do you. 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.159 Think, Yeah, tell me various keptical Look, if we could 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.000 get a great deal, that would be terrific. But I 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:49.760 think a great deal means to completely cleanse this country 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:55.720 of Iran any of its nuclear material, not just all 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.800 the nuclear facilities, but any of that highly rid geranium. 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.200 All has to be a counted for And because what 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.160 worries me if the regime survives. If you have a deal, 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.320 by definition, the regime will survive. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.760 Well, tell me who the regime is? At this point, 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.920 do we even know who the regime is? I mean, 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.440 I'm sure the president and Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.839 are convinced that they know they're talking to the right people. However, 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.479 we'll know very quickly. We'll know in short order, because 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.160 I would imagine one of the first things they want 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.440 to do is they're going to go in and extract 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.599 any sixty percent and rich uranium and it will be 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.840 in our possession, So we'll know right away if they 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:34.359 mean it or not. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:34.680 Right. 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.720 Well, yeah, except, I mean, by the way, your point 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.720 is well taken. Who is the regime? I assume one 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.520 of the people they're speaking to, and that I think 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:46.479 been reported is the Speaker of the Parliament. But you 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.919 do ever kind of weekend at Bernie's kind of situation 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.640 with the with the so called Supreme leader there. We 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.880 don't know if he's alive or dead. However, I think 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.279 it's got to be all the mguranium, not just the 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.880 sixty percent. My concern about if a deal would be 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.279 that the Iranians then will try to drag this out, 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.720 because we all know that that's what they do. So 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.640 if there was such a deal, there'd have to be 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:12.679 immediate disclosure and access to all enrich uranium, the stuff 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.960 that's buried everything, and destruction then of all those facilities, 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.200 and that would have to be immediate that they start 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.440 playing around. I think then we would have to resume 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.240 our military operations. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:25.279 Well, I think. 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.240 It's going to be a little bit more complicated than 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.320 just blowing it up, Ambassador Sales, because if you blow 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.680 it up, then you run the risk of a you know, 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.400 a radiation leak the likes of which we've never seen 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.960 well you know since Hiroshima and Nagasaki probably on steroids 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:42.080 and human growth form one. 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:43.000 Am I wrong about that? 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.120 Yeah? It could be very dicey. Sean and so you know, 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.239 I agree, one of the key outcomes of this war, 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:54.080 whether accomplished via military means or through diplomacy, has to 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.920 be a complete accounting of all Iranian and rich uranium 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.560 and it's removal from the country. And it's not going 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.159 to be we trust the Iranian to go look for 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.080 it and give it to us. We're going to have 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.800 to go in and get it ourselves. Now, ideally we 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.520 would do that after the bullets stopped flying. We don't 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.160 want to put our force at unnecessary risk. But we 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:19.120 actually have highly capable, highly trained special forces that have 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.920 trained precisely for this mission to go into hostile territory 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.680 to identify enriched uranium and to exfiltrate it one or 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.360 two to dilute it on site so that it can 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.520 never be a threat to the United States again. So 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.960 you know, the best case scenario would be after we 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.520 accomplish our military objectives in this war and the fighting stops, 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.320 one of the terms one of the conditions of the 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.680 cease fire is we're going to go in and get it, 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.760 and we're going to do it in a controlled way 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.760 so that those risks you just identified of damaging the 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.000 canisters and nuclear fallout. We never have to worry about 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.840 that because we control the environment on the way in 0:07:57.960 --> 0:07:58.800 and on the way out. 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.320 Maybe you can explain to me. 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:04.080 I've had others try, and I'm. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:04.200 Not well versed in this. 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.360 My understanding is they can be preserved in those canisters, 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:12.280 but they would be in gas form, not necessarily liquid form. 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.800 That's how little knowledge I have about enriched uranium. Do 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.040 you know any more than I do? 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.040 Don I've got a nuclear engineer, so I know about 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:20.560 as much as you do, maybe a little more, maybe 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.280 a little less. I think the key point here is 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:28.600 there's no civilian use, no plausible civilian use for those canisters. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.000 The only reason they could have uranium enriched to this 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.360 level is to preserve a pathway to a bomb. And 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.000 if you leave them with access to those canisters in 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.600 any way, you leave them with a path to a bomb, 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.600 and they're not going to give up on it. They're 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.400 only going to give up if we take the material 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.439 and have a very strict enforcement regime. After the bullet 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:48.440 stopped flying, it. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.120 Would seem to me that the time to do that 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:56.800 would be immediately. Mikemakowsky, in other words, that while our 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.160 military is still positioned that would have to be done 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.560 while they're still there. That would be the trust and 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.079 verified moment on that very important issue as it relates 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.720 to the Iranians having to pay back America for this 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.280 military conflict. I just know Trump well enough. I've not 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.400 disgusted with them, but I would imagine he's going to 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.240 want them to pay us for what we had to 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:18.680 do here. 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.760 Yeah, by the way, I completely agree, we would have 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:26.960 to maintain our forces, and I agree as the ambassador said, 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.160 we can't rely on the iraniance and just disclose. We 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.280 have to make sure that we've gone ourselves and access 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.559 every point that we think that miser facilities are or 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.520 where there could be any enrich uranium, and there'd have 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.200 to be in orderly removal. I will say, though, if 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.679 there is no deal, then we might have to do that, 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.760 I think in the context of this conflict, which would 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.560 obviously pose a lot more risk to our forces. But 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.760 I think for President Trump, who I think is an 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:59.760 outstanding job here to really fully declare victory, there has 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.480 to be be a complete resolution, whether through negotiations or 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.800 through the war. Of the nuclear material and the nuclear facilities. 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.200 Well, I think one of the goals also is to 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.199 be ambassador. No going back. We're done. This is it. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:17.040 This is our last, you know, excursion back to Iran. 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.480 So this has to be one and done and complete 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.840 and move on, which would be fully in keeping with 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:24.720 the Trump doctrine. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:24.960 Right. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.920 I think that's exactly right, Sean. And that's why I 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.400 also think it's important to ensure that our military objectives 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:36.400 are fully accomplished before we call things off. We don't 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.440 want to end things prematurely with twenty five percent of 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.840 the targets on the list still existing, only to find 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.120 out that the Iranians are now six months from now 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:51.800 reconstituting their ballistic missile program, building drones, building centrifuges that 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.079 they can use to enricheranium again. America has made a 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.160 huge investment in this war, in blood and in treasure. 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.280 We want to make sure that we're doing it right 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.040 so we don't have to come back and do it again. 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.440 So that might mean we need a little bit of patience. 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.240 We might need to let this thing cook for a 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.200 little while, let the military work its way through its 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.040 war plan to make sure that it's accomplishing all of 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.680 its objectives before calling things off. Prematurely and letting the 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.320 Iranians up from the mat, which they can then use 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.520 to restart all of the programs that we're concerned about. 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.160 All right, quick break more with doctor Mike Mukowsky and 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.839 Ambassador Nathan Sales with the latest developments out of I 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.679 Rant on the other side than your calls coming up 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.920 eight hundred and ninety four one Shawn this Monday, as 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:41.840 we continue. 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:43.360 Elections, palls, campaigns, the latest news on your candidate. We've 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:48.000 got you covered this election year, knocking in right here 0:11:48.120 --> 0:12:19.640 on the Sean Kennedy Show. 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.640 Can we continue now, Doctor Mike mckofsky is with us, 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.040 and Ambassador Nathan Sales is back with us all these 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:29.240 latest breaking developments. Some hope now in this ongoing conflict 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:34.559 of epic fury with President Trump's announcement this morning that 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:39.800 in fact, the US and Iran have been discussing over 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.400 the last two days, good productive conversations regarding a complete 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:48.480 total resolution to the hostilities. There markets responding accordingly the 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.600 minute that this truth social post went out this morning. Anyway, 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.320 we continue our discussion. As much as people want to 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.720 declare that Donald Trump has full control over Israel's actions, 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.920 I would imagine their objectives are very different than the 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.640 United States, so I would imagine they want regime change. 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.680 That's never been a stated goal of Donald Trump, although 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.920 he did say at one point the regime needs to go. 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.160 And the regime kind of has gone already, isn't it. 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:17.280 I don't think the Israelis believe that you have to 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.480 end the war with the regime collapse. They'd obviously prefer that, 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.400 as I'm sure President Trump would, but I think I 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.480 don't think that. I think the key is and I 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.920 think both countries share this, that the conditions have to 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:35.400 be set for a collapse of the regime, and and 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.960 and and by the way, you know, it's impossible to 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.959 predict when that could be. It could happen as soon 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.560 as the fighting stops, or it could be, you know, 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.439 months later. I mean, the big demonstrations we saw beginning 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.319 in the end of December early January, those took place 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.600 six months after the Twelve Day War. So they have 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.680 no idea when this is going to start. I don't 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.760 think the Israeli is going to push President Trump to 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:02.000 go until the regime willipse. I think the key is 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:06.720 setting the conditions, which is weakening the conventional and destroying. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:10.160 The nuclear I would imagine maybe there's a final thought here. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.600 We'll give it to you, ambassador, that anywhere, any place, anytime, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.640 inspections have to be part of any deal. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.280 Yeah, and that's one of the things that the JCPOA, 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.880 the Obama era nuclear deal, never had, and that's one 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.440 of the reasons why it was fatally flawed. It ultimately 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.280 depended on us taking the Iranian regime's word for it, 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.840 and that, as we know, is not worth a paper 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.520 that it's written on. So we really robust inspections to 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.240 make sure that they don't reconstitute a nuclear program of 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.360 ballistic missile capability and so on. Are the Iranians prepared 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.520 to say yes? I think we have to watch this 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.640 with a very jaded eye. Don't say anything right now 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.800 to make us stop. Because we've got them down on 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:53.640 the mat and they're desperate to survive. It's easy to 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:54.160 say something. 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.360 We would know within forty eight hours if they meant it, 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.880 because probably within forty eight hours we would have a 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.120 team of people in there to extract any sixty percent 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.320 and rich uranium they have. That's I think I will 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:07.680 have our answer that quickly. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:08.240 In my view. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:12.360 So it's once again the decision will be in the 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:16.160 Iranian's hands, and this time I don't think with all 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.240 of our military in place, I don't think they really 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.200 have any option. It's either that or you know, the 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.080 next layer of quote leadership will be gone. I mean 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:28.440 the CUDS Forces headquarters is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Forces 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.480 headquarters were all taken out today in the last twenty 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.040 four hours. So there's not much there in terms of 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.960 their ability to fight back anymore. Over eight thousand targets, 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.720 all their ships in the straighter horn moves ballistic missile 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.840 capabilities have been diminished by ninety percent. But you know 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.920 they have proven once and again that common sense does 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.000 not dictate what they do. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:50.120 Anyway. 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:54.440 We appreciate you, Ambassador Nathan Sales, Doctor Mike Mukowski, thank you. 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.360 This is what's right with America. You're listening to the 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.040 Sean Hannity Show. 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.480 This was on Fox News Sunday. The Secretary General of NATO, 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.360 who's been very supportive of President Trump. And you know, 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.840 we have been on this program very critical of our 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.480 NATO allies in European nations. Now they have finally gotten 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:38.240 on board. Yes, they get more of their energy because 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.680 of the straight of hor moves way. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:41.440 More than we get. 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.160 And they have been weak and feckless, and oh, we 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.240 don't want to get involved. 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:47.400 We don't like conflict. 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:53.960 And unfortunately, I think that you are watching a decaying continent. 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:59.040 I'm not even sure that Europe has a path to recover. 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.000 I think think the NATO alliance has been weak, and 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:06.880 significantly NATO countries have not kept up with their responsibility 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.760 in terms of national security and national defense. They have allowed, 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:16.440 especially in Western Europe, unfettered immigration without any assimilation, resulting 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.280 in Sharia courts and countries like Great Britain, no go zones, 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:24.880 and countries like France where not even police and medical 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:29.520 personnel are allowed into certain neighborhoods. Why people want to 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.400 emigrate to a country and not adopt to that country's 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.720 values and mores and assimilate. I don't know why they're 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.560 allowed to do it. I really don't know. A couple 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.480 that with their radical socialism that they have bought into 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:46.320 now for decades, and climate alarmism. It's very hard to understand. 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.720 And one person that has been pretty stepfast and supporting 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.639 the president is the Secretary General of NATO. And his 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.679 name is Mark Rutt, and he understood that it was 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:01.240 critical the US takeout arounds nuclear capabilities. Why Great Britain, France, Spain, 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.320 other countries have been so weak I can't explain here. 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:05.320 Listen to Mark Rutt. 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.679 Well, let me first of all say that I know 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.320 there's a lot of debate in the US and the 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:14.800 Europe where this campaign of the president against Iran was necessary, 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.360 and let me tell you it is. It is crucial 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.280 that the president at the US is doing this to 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.959 take out the nucle capability and the basticnesshock capability because 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.359 this is posing a threat. It is an existential threat 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.280 to Israel, it's a threat to the religion, it is 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.199 a threat to Europe, to the whole world. And so 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.800 it is really crucial that the US is doing this. 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.120 And I hope that people understand that argument. Even if 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.520 they're doubting whether it was necessary or not, it is 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.000 necessary and a command to presidence leadership on this. 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:47.520 And Mark rad even responded to Trump calling NATO allies 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:52.919 cowards and frankly they were listen, he called them cowards. 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.600 So how does that square. 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.040 With with what you're saying now about their willingness to 0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:58.479 show up. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.960 Yes. Well again, the good use is that these twenty 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.040 two countries are following the President's lead on making sure 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.200 that we free up the rat or form. Most obviously, 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.639 the military campaign is still ongoing, so that's why we 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.480 are working now these countries together and also with the 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.760 US to make sure that we assess what then and 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.719 how we can do this. But we also say this, 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:23.840 the United States has been planning for this for weeks 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:29.119 for obvious reasons, because of security, it was impossible to 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:32.439 share that knowledge with allies because that would then have 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:37.199 prevented the effect of the first attack, because there was 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.280 a risk always of leaking. So I totally understand why 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.960 the US was not able to share this with allies. 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.280 But at the same time, it means that European allies 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.440 and partners all over the world have used the last 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:51.600 couple of weeks to make sure that we come together, 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.280 that they started planning to see what we can do 0:19:55.359 --> 0:20:00.919 collectively as allies, as partners of the United States at 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.000 a moment as possible for the straitor who moves to 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.600 open up and therefore answering the President's school want this, 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.159 and that's what I told him. I said, Hey, they 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:11.000 are following your lead. 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:13.359 And I think that's very important anyway. 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:17.439 That's Mark Rutt, the Secretary General of NATO, and I 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:21.040 don't know if NATO can survive as an alliance. We 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.879 pay more than every other country combined. The President forced 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.200 them to more than double their contribution to our Defense 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.760 Strategy agreement, and it's still not enough on their end. 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.920 And NATO is nothing without the United States. They need us. 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:38.960 And as the President said, what good is an alliance 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.159 if when we need a little help from you? And 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.119 we didn't even really need it, but it was in 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.720 their best interest to help us. They didn't even want 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:46.840 to show up in the beginning. 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:47.600 It was pathetic. 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.600 Let's get to our phones, Alabama. Robert on the Sean 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:52.679 Hannity Show, Hi. 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:55.400 Hey, Sean, how are you? 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:57.400 I'm good, sir. What's going on? 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.239 Just a couple of quick questions. And I was. I 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:04.520 was listening to that conversation you were having with those 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.960 two gentlemen earlier, and it was an interesting conversation about 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:12.400 the uranium. Uh, do we know where the uranium is at? 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.919 I have every belief, according to my sources, we know 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:17.199 exactly where it is. 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:17.600 Yes. 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:21.880 Good because these people, I mean once you know you're 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:25.040 going to push these this is a religious ideology, so 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:27.840 you push these people just a little bit too far, 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:30.359 and you know, they believe dying for the cause is 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:34.800 a win win, so that it seems pretty imperative that 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:37.119 we get our hands on that. 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:40.840
