1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: Our two shot Hannity's show, Toll Free. It is eight 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: hundred and nine foot one Sean if you want to 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. All right, as we 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: went through, whether people in the media want to acknowledge 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: or listen to Donald Trump or not, it doesn't really matter, 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: because it's going to play out exactly well, I can't 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: say exactly, because it's either going to play out one 8 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: way or it's going to play out the other way. 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: But it's going to be on the verge of wrapping 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: up no later than three weeks from today, is my prediction. 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: People don't really seem to want to listen to the 12 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: actual words of President Trump. They don't want to listen 13 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: to Marco Rubio, they don't want to listen to what 14 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: the mission has been. While it certainly has been regime 15 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: change in the sense that Ali Hamani and his top 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: advisors and the next tier and the next tier of 17 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: so called leaders in Iran are all dead, that by 18 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: definition you can argue is regime change, but it has 19 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: never been. It has never been about that for the president. 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: And when the President tweeted out and again I wish 21 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: people would listen to him that this has always been 22 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: and then you go back to my interview with Steve Wikoff. 23 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: This has always been about never allowing the Iranians to 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: have nuclear weapons because they are an existential threat to 25 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: the United States. And the President said, the US is 26 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: in serious discussions. We now know it's the head of 27 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: the Parliament, which we had confirmed for you last week, 28 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: although nobody seemed to want to listen to that either. 29 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: But anyway, there are serious discussions with a new more 30 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: reasonable regime to end the military operations. By the way, 31 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: is evidence, as the President said, with the twenty tankers 32 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: they've allowed through the straits of horn moves that would 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: not have happened, or the straight of horm moves if 34 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: they were not quote open for business, he said, great 35 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: progress is being made. If for any reason a deal 36 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: is not shortly reached, which it probably will be the 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: horror move straight open for business, well you know that 38 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: would mean our life stay in Iran will be blowing 39 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants, 40 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: oil wells, carg Island, and possibly desalinization plants which we 41 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: have purposely not touched. This will be retribution for our 42 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: many soldiers and others that Iran has butchered and killed 43 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: over the old regime's forty seven year reign of terror. 44 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. 45 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: Trump. Let's go aboard the air Force. 46 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: One yesterday, the President said, well, Iran gave us twenty 47 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: boats of oil, which I think is kind of like 48 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: proof of life in a kidnapped postage situation. If they 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: can allow your tankers to go through with no problems 50 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: at all, that means they have a pretty high degree 51 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: of power in terms of who is now actually in charge, 52 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: is what he said. 53 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: Oh, he's destroyed many, many targets. Today was a big day, 54 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: and we are negotiating with him directly, and it directly. 55 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: You have emissaries, but we also are dealing directly. And 56 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 3: as you know, they've agreed to send eight boats two 57 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 3: days ago, and then they edited another. 58 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: Two so it was ten boats. 59 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: And now today they gave us as a tribute. I 60 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 3: don't know, I can't define it exactly, but they gave us, 61 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 3: I think, out of a sign of respect, twenty boats 62 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: of oil. Big boats of oil going through the are 63 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,839 Speaker 3: most straight and that's taking place starting tomorrow morning. Over 64 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: the next couple of days, spout of boats, and I 65 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: would only say that we're doing extremely well in that negotiation, 66 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: but you never know where ran because we negotiate with 67 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: them and then we always have to blow them up. 68 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: And then the President said, we are weeks ahead of 69 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: schedule in terms of Iran. And again this is now 70 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: culminating in this pivotal moment. Either they will voluntarily give 71 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: up their nuclear material or the President is indicated and 72 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: is showing enough military force that America would intend to 73 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: take it. They'll either open the straight to Horn moves 74 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: or they won't. And otherwise pretty much every other military 75 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: objective will be achieved. And I am predicting this will 76 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: then come to a natural conclusion much faster than these 77 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: naysayers have said. 78 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: From the beginning. 79 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: There have been people that never wanted to listen to 80 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: what Steve Whitkoff told me, not once but twice during 81 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: interviews that they were bragging about their thousand plus pounds 82 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: of sixty percent enriched uranium. That was the tipping point, 83 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: obvious tipping point if anyone's paying attention. But for the 84 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: people that you want to come up with their own fake, phony, fraudulent, 85 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: you know, conspiratorial narratives that Israel made this happen. The 86 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: talk show hosts influence the president. First of all, they 87 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: don't know Donald Trump. They've never really been big Trump's. 88 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: They don't understand what he's saying. He's not complicated. He 89 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: is being very straightforward in terms of what his objectives are, 90 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: what they have been, and what they will remain. Anyway, 91 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: here's the President discussing the last part. 92 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: Are you considering still putting flutes on the ground and 93 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: would you do that? Without going to part I just. 94 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: Have lots of altners. We have tremendous numbers of ships 95 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 3: over there. We don't need them all because of you. 96 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 4: Know, the power. 97 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: Look, I would say we're just like we're a head 98 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: of schedule in the ballroom. In a much bigger way, 99 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 3: we're ahead of schedule with a rand where weeks ahead 100 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 3: of schedule. If you would have said that in three 101 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: days we were going to knock out one hundred and 102 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: fifty eight ships their entire navy, which we did. We 103 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: knocked out their entire air force, We knocked out most 104 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 3: of their missiles. That's why you see missile attacks. But 105 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 3: they're down to they're sputtering and we have a group. 106 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: It's really a new regime. It's a new group of people, 107 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 3: people that we've never dealt with before. They're acting very reasonable. 108 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: It is truly regime change. 109 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: It is Was it our initial goal? No, but that 110 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: ended in the first five minutes of this conflict. Anyway, 111 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: Gordon Chang premiere, I mean you want to talk about 112 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: the premiere expert on the impact all of this is 113 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: having China geopolitical ramifications. We have reports the Russians are 114 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: providing the Iranians with satellite imagery and intelligence. The North 115 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: Koreans are providing weaponry. What might the repercussions of that be? 116 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: Gordon Chang, thank you for being with us. How is China, 117 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,679 Speaker 1: first of all, being impacted because on the other side 118 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: of this, the president has plans to go to China 119 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: to meet with President Chi. I would imagine the Chinese 120 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: want the straight of horror moves open for their own 121 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: selfish reasons. 122 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: Am I wrong? 123 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 4: Well, you're certainly right about that. Sean. On Friday, actually 124 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 4: three Chinese container ships were turned back as they were 125 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 4: about to clear the Hormuz out into the Arabian Sea. Also, 126 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 4: there are six Chinese tankers that trapped in the Persian 127 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: Gulf China would like all of those out, and right 128 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 4: now they are still there. This is interesting because in 129 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: the beginning phases of the war, Iran was allowing Chinese 130 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 4: bound tankers out of the Strait of Hormuz. Now they're 131 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 4: not doing that. So I imagine they're very apprehensive in Beijing 132 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 4: right now about the way the war is going, because 133 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 4: it's not really going in their favor as it was, 134 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 4: for instance, in the first couple of weeks. 135 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: Well explain that because I don't see how the first 136 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: couple of weeks was in any way favorable to them. 137 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 4: Well, they were getting their oil through the strait, and 138 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 4: that was really what they wanted. In the larger issue, though, 139 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 4: there are a couple of things about this war that 140 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 4: are really bad for China. One of them is that 141 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: China has never been more trade dependent in its history. 142 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: We are seeing because of this war, shocks through economies 143 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 4: around the world, which means they won't be able to 144 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 4: buy as many Chinese goods as Beijing needs them to. 145 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 4: But even more important than that, this war and other 146 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 4: wars that are going on right now are deglobalizing the world. 147 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 4: They're severing the links among countries, among companies, among people, 148 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 4: and that is something that has really been would be 149 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 4: really bad for China. China prospered and was biggest beneficiary 150 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 4: of three decades of globalization, so they will be the 151 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 4: biggest victims of deglobalization. They're very worried about that, but 152 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 4: it's not really their fault because they've been empowering Iran, 153 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 4: They've been empowering Russia and Ukraine. They've been creating insurgencies 154 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 4: in North Africa that look like wars. They were behind 155 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 4: the October seventh attacks on Israel. So this is payback 156 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 4: from the world to China in effect. 157 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: Why do you think there's so many people that just 158 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: refuse to listen to President Trump, his words, his strategies. 159 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: He's being as transparent as he can, as is the 160 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Mark or Rubio, and their objectives have 161 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: been clear. I'm not sure if you had an opportunity 162 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 1: to watch or to listen to my interview, which the 163 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: wit cough I had two of them, and the tipping 164 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: point that I believe resulted in the President making this 165 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: decision for Operation Epic Fury was the fact that they 166 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: had all of this sixty percent enriched uranium. We've gone 167 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: through this in specificic great specificity. In detail, it would 168 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: take seven to twelve days to enrich it to weapons 169 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: grade ninety percent enrichment. And we learned something else in 170 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: this conflict is that the ballistic missile range capabilities of 171 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: the Iranians was much further than we had believed it 172 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: to be, which means that they could put a warhead 173 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: on one of those ballistic missiles and they'd be able 174 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: to hit Paris in London and other countries as well. 175 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: So it was a far greater danger than I think 176 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: anybody really anticipated. 177 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 4: Yes, and we should also add to your list of 178 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 4: cities New York and San Francisco, Los Angeles, Kansas City, 179 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: other city in the United States. We know that Iran 180 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 4: has had for quite some time an eighty ton rocket 181 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 4: booster that's the first stage of an intercontinental ballistic missile. 182 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 4: We also know Sean from various open source reporting that 183 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 4: China that Iran has basically all of the components for 184 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 4: Alasongs fifteen missile that's a North Korean ICBM. The only 185 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 4: thing we don't know is whether the Iranians have been 186 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 4: able to assemble all of that under wartime conditions. But 187 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 4: we have to assume that they do have an ICBM 188 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 4: with a range of eighty one hundred miles that can 189 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 4: hit any part of the United States. 190 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: Well, we know from this conflict that a conflict, and 191 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: had to believe that their maximum range maximum would be 192 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and now we know that that number is 193 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: well above that at twenty five hundred plus. Why do 194 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: you get to the number over eight thousand miles because 195 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: because of. 196 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 4: The booster has a has a range of eight one 197 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 4: hundred miles. We know they have the components for a 198 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 4: wah Song fifteen. What we don't know, as I mentioned, 199 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 4: is whether they have been able to successfully integrate all 200 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 4: of those components. But they've had help from the North 201 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 4: Koreans because a wah Song fifteen is a North Korean 202 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 4: missile and we know that essentially every Iranian missile comes 203 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 4: from North Korea, not all of them, but almost all 204 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 4: of them. And so this is in open source reporting. 205 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 4: You can see this from Treasury Department sanction notices and 206 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 4: also reports from the UN Panel of Experts while it 207 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 4: was still in existence. And also we have got just 208 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 4: other indications that show this and this really means that 209 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 4: the threat to the United States was greater than most 210 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 4: people assumed, and I know that the US intelligence community 211 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 4: doesn't agree with the assessment that I just made. 212 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: But when you go actually, I know that that is 213 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: not true. I know that the CIA director himself, John Ralf, 214 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: basically stated pretty much close to everything that you said, 215 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: and that was his assessment. I know they were varying assessments, 216 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: but an assessment is basically an estimate based on the 217 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: intelligence that you're able to gather. It's not a pure science. 218 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 4: Right, And yes, there are different views in the intelligence community. 219 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 4: The consensus estimate is that North Korea, that Iran does 220 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 4: not have a North Korean missile deck and hit the 221 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 4: United States. But I believe that assessment is incorrect. And 222 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 4: as we have seen, the assessments of our intelligence community 223 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 4: on Iran's missiles have been wrong. After all, on March twentieth, 224 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 4: they did fire those two missiles at Diego GARCIA. That 225 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 4: took our intelligence community by surprise. It should not have 226 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 4: given the a level of cooperation between Piongyang and Tehran 227 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 4: and one other point, Sean, And that is if they 228 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 4: were going to add another chapter to Profiles and Courage 229 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 4: John F. Kennedy's book, they should add one on President 230 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 4: Trump because this was not a popular thing for President 231 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,599 Speaker 4: Trump to start this war, but it was absolutely necessary 232 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 4: to protect the American homeland. And not just because of 233 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 4: the missiles that I talked about, and not just because 234 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 4: of this sixty percent enriched uranium. North Korea had given 235 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 4: Iranians other things that actually could threaten the US homeland. 236 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 4: So it was really important for President Trump to do this. 237 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 4: And the reason why President Trump doesn't get praised for 238 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 4: this is because a lot of people hate him. But 239 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 4: if they were actually to listen to what he says, 240 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 4: to look at what he's doing to assess the situation, 241 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 4: they would be supporting our president on this. 242 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: I quick break more with Gordon Chang on the other 243 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: side than your calls coming up. Eight hundred and nine 244 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 1: four one is number if you want to be a 245 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: part of the program as we continue. 246 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 5: AI you ready to get out of the media spin room, Well, 247 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 5: you've come to the right place. It is the Sean 248 00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 5: Hannity Show. 249 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: All right, We continue now Gordon Chang analyzing the world's 250 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: impact of now Operation Epic Fury and now seeming to 251 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: be in this waning couple of weeks, and what impact 252 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: that will have moving forward. Let me ask you, in 253 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: the short time we have left, assuming that the enriched 254 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: uranium will be negotiated out or taken out, the Strait 255 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: of Hormuz will be open, the destruction of their navy, 256 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: their air force, their ability to make missiles and drones, 257 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: dramatically reducing their missile launchers, destroying their air defense systems. 258 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: At that point, I think the p stated military objective ends, 259 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: and I believe this conflict will then end, and then 260 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: it's up to the uranium people whatever they decide to do. 261 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: That was regime change was never the top priority the president. 262 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: Yes, and President Trump has made it very bigger that 263 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 4: his goal was to protect the United States and the 264 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 4: American homeland, and he's well on the way to doing that, 265 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 4: and the critics should understand that this was absolutely necessary 266 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 4: at this time. 267 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think very well said. I wish there was 268 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: more informed analysis from people like you out there, and 269 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: I wish people would just pay a little bit more, 270 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: a little closer attention to what it is the president says, 271 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: what does objectives have been from the beginning, And then 272 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: you will understand that this president, unlike many in the past, 273 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: actually means what he says. But you know what, in 274 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: the next three weeks I think will determine the outcome 275 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: of all of this in terms of our total success 276 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: in the region. Up to now, it's been extraordinarily successful 277 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: on every level. Gordon, thank you. Eight hundred nine one. 278 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: Shawn is on number if you want to be a 279 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: part of the program. 280 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 5: Mold Inspired Solutions for America. 281 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: This is the Sean Hannity Show. 282 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: Now, Americans rightly are are fed up. Finally, these wonderful 283 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: people that I have met, I don't have the problems 284 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: Linda and sweet baby James have. I don't get wanded 285 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: at every term when I go through TSA. Thankfully, these 286 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: people now are going to get paid. They're getting paid 287 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: this week thanks to an executive order of President Trump. 288 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: Latest Matt Towery Insider Advantage poll shows a huge of 289 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: Americans approve of President Trump's executive order to pay these 290 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: TSA workers. And you know, I know, we've got this 291 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: battle with the Senate. Sharp differences between the House and 292 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: GOP leaders. And you know why they passed this bill 293 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: late on a Friday night is unbelievable. But anyway, the 294 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: House is three times now voted to fund the Department 295 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: of Homeland security President Trump stepping in. Not every Democrat 296 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: is happy about this. They're not happy at all. Wasn't 297 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: a Congressman Jim Hymes claiming that Trump is illegally paying 298 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: TSA agents. He should be celebrating working men and women, 299 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: but he's not. Listen, what did Democrats get out of 300 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: this standoff? 301 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Margaret, the standoff is not done yet. Right, 302 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 6: the president is illegally paying apparently TSA agents. You had 303 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 6: the Senate, as you pointed out with mister Honan Homan, 304 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 6: pass a bipartisan bill unanimously in the United States Senate 305 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 6: to say, look, let's fund everybody else and let's deal 306 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 6: with this thorny issue about ice. And then you had 307 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 6: the Republican House say, hell, no, we're not doing that. 308 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: Unbelievable. The you know, the party that has a monopoly 309 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: on compassion, doesn't care about working men and women. Otherwise, 310 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: they would have voted for no tax on tips, no 311 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: tax on overtime. They would have voted for the largest 312 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: tax cut in history. They would have cared about the elderly. 313 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: They would have voted for no tax on social security. 314 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 1: Nope, Donald Trump's idea has to be bad, all right, 315 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: Let's get to our busy telephones. Let us say hi 316 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: to Keith in California, Gavin Newsom's Marxist utopia. 317 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: What's going on, sir? How are you? 318 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 7: I'm good. I'm concerned about this time that Trump has 319 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 7: given the Iranians to basically make a decision. They asked 320 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 7: for seven days, and he gave them ten days. I'm 321 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 7: wondering why it takes seven days to make a decision. 322 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 7: I'm wondering why Trump gave them ten days. 323 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: Especially, well that's a number of days ago, so those 324 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: days are the clock's ticking. And I would again I 325 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: I'm I have a very high degree of confidence, not 326 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: because of insider information I know, although I do have 327 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: plenty of sources. I have a high degree of confidence 328 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: based on public statements of the President. 329 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 2: This is beginning to wind down. 330 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: There's not many targets left, and the Iranians now are 331 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: this is their moment of truth. 332 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree? 333 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I'm just concerned this. They still have that 334 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 7: sixty percent rich geranium. If we're not in possession, then 335 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 7: I'm wondering if it's a. 336 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: Good idea we're not in possession of it, will either 337 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: destroy it or we won't leave. That is this is 338 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: the fin you're describing, the final piece of the puzzle. 339 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: Another final piece of the puzzle. There's a couple of 340 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: pieces left. Left is the opening of the Straight of 341 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: Horror moves. Frankly, our allies in Europe have been weak 342 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: and pathetic and negligent, and they should have come when 343 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: the President asked. Now they're going to get involved a 344 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: little too little, too late. But I would imagine there's 345 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: a resolution here. Now what's on the table for them? 346 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: It's either that or all of their infrastructure, all of 347 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: their energy infrastructure, even their desalination plans, carg Island, it's 348 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: all gone. So after watching Midnight Hammer an epic fury, 349 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: if you have even an ounce of common sense in 350 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: your brain, and you are the fourth tier level of 351 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: leadership that's actually talking to the President allowing the twenty 352 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: tanker ships to go through the Straight of Horn moves 353 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: without any problem, showing that you have the authority to 354 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: make that happen, I would imagine that they might be 355 00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: willing to take the deal, But they've never proven to 356 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: be that smart up to this point. 357 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 7: You just don't think they'll take this time to regroup 358 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 7: and come back at us. 359 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: It's impossible. It is, It is impossible. By the way, 360 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: this would be to me, would be the riskiest part 361 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: of any military effort on our end. However, if I'm 362 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: if the predicate for this was we can't have a 363 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: nuclear arm Duran, that has been the most consistent thing 364 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: that the President has said. You can't leave behind, you know, 365 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: one thousand pounds of sixty percent and rich uranium for 366 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: the for the whoever takes over at whatever point. And 367 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,239 Speaker 1: there's a question as to who ultimately will end up 368 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: in power. A regime change was never one of our goals, 369 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: was it. 370 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 4: No. 371 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: No, So it's good. It's gonna play out. I'm hoping 372 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: it plays out the right way. I will tell you this, 373 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: It is incalculable for the people that have been way 374 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: too nonchalant and willing to smiths this sixty percent enriched uranium, 375 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: and the people that underestimated the ballistic missile capability of 376 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: the Iranians, never mind the boosters that that Gordon Chang 377 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: was talking about. 378 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: Uh. 379 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: The saddest part in this equation is assuming the President 380 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: is able to make a deal, get a hold of 381 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: that nuclear material, bring American. 382 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 2: Troops home, we will. 383 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: The world will never know how many lives human lives 384 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: may have been saved, But not to do it would 385 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: have meant I'm pretty convinced now more than ever that 386 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: they would have had nuclear capability and likely ballistic missile 387 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: capability to deliver those weapons that would have that would 388 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: have possibly possibly that could have easily been turned into 389 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: eleven nuclear weapons. 390 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 8: Uh. 391 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: And the President I believe made the right call. 392 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: He removed one of a potential modern day holocaust by 393 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: acting based on intelligence and what he knows in his 394 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: own instincts, and that is you know, when he took 395 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: out the Isis Caliphate, very few people paid attention to it, 396 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: bombing the hell out of them, and nobody really gave 397 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: him credit for that, but he eliminated an existential threat 398 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: to the world. Convert or died anyway, Appreciate the call. 399 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine four one, Sean. If you want 400 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, John san Diego, 401 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: Coco Radio. 402 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 2: What's up, John? How are you glad you joined us 403 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 2: this Monday? 404 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 9: Hey? 405 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 8: Sean? 406 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 4: Hey John? 407 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 9: Okay, Sir, sick and tired of hearing every government official 408 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 9: and every media personality yamaron about what they seek due 409 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 9: process clause means it is very simple, straightforward. No one 410 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 9: can be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process. 411 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 9: That means due process is predicated on the punishment. Being 412 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 9: deprived of life, that means you've been executed, being deprived 413 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 9: of liberty means you've been imprisoned. Being deprived of property 414 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 9: means you've been fined. That's it. You cannot be imprisoned, executed, 415 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 9: or fined without due process of law. You can damn 416 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 9: well be deported without any due process. And the Trump 417 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 9: administration needs to start shoving this down everybody's throat, especially 418 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 9: the idiots in the Democrats party. And this is also 419 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 9: how it has to be argued in the in the 420 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 9: Supreme Court. You can't argue the Alien Enemies Act because 421 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 9: it's a subservient law to the Constitution. When you're when 422 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 9: you're arguing the constitutionality of a law, you argue the Constitution, 423 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 9: not another law. And this is how it has to work. 424 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 2: Otherwise, lawyer, by any chance or no. 425 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 9: No, I'm not a lawyer. How dare you? 426 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: You said no, you sound pretty well versed on the law. 427 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking you are one hundred percent right 428 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: by virtue of the fact that you're not in the 429 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: country legally, you don't have the same constitutional rights. But 430 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: this has been an age old argument. And then do 431 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: process rights, as you're rightly pointing out. Anyway, good call 432 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: Smart Scott, Utah.

I 438 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 8: was dirt poor when I was young, and my father 439 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 8: was a Mason, and he always said, first and foremost, 440 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 8: you're a salesman. I don't care what you do for 441 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 8: a living. You have to promote yourself and your business. 442 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 8: And he was all about rising up. And he did, 443 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 8: and I did, you did, and Mark Wayne Mowens did. 444 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 8: It's the American way. And those Democrats will never get it. 445 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 8: Say they will not. 446 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 2: Get it, you know, I don't know. 447 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: I am so grateful, and I mean to God that 448 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: I've had the upbringing I've had. I am grateful. My 449 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: parents work so much and they were not able to 450 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: be to me what I became to my children and 451 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: Lynda and I often joke about the fact that how 452 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: is it that I had total freedom from the time 453 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm five years old to run the streets, and then 454 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: I became this crazy helicopter parent. 455 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 2: Right. 456 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: But the times have changed and I think demanded it 457 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways. But I was able 458 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: to focus my kids into sports and other things and 459 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: make investments in their future, which you know, thank god, 460 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: turned out okay. But I will tell you the greatest 461 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: thing in my life is that I spent those ten 462 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: years in the restaurant business, in those ten years in construction, 463 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: and never expected when I got into radio i'd even 464 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: remotely be successful.
