WEBVTT - Ukraine's Future - February 21st, Hour 2 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.680 Right hour two Sean Hannity's show Toll Free this Friday. 0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:05.680 It is eight hundred and nine to four one Shawn, 0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:08.080 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.000 We have focused a lot of our attention on the 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:14.400 President and deporting illegal immigrants and secure in the border, 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:19.239 and his efforts to get Congress now to get rid 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:23.479 of the Biden Harris budget and get a budget in 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.119 place that is going to be more sensible. We've focused 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.920 so much on doge and waste fraud in an abuse, 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.839 but now the President also is turning his attention in 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:39.000 major ways to international issues, things that he campaigned heavily on, 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.479 and that is ending war in Europe and ending war 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:47.120 in the Middle East. We saw the utter barbarity on display, 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:53.080 one of the saddest things I've ever saw, and the sickening, disgusting, 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:58.400 repulsive spectacle of this handover yesterday of the remains of 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:04.880 two toddlers, their mother and another hostage, and the actions 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:09.160 of hamas you know, no dignified transfer of the remains 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.560 of innocent people just slaughtered for no good reason at all. 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.839 They staged this twisted parade of coffins in a cemetery 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:22.160 before the crowd cheering, you know, of the cheering civilians, 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:27.360 you know, And this is why Gaza will be demilitarized 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.720 by the end of this Prime Minister Netanyahu in this case, 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:32.600 he's going to settle the score. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.160 It's coming, you know. 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.920 At we're outrage that these Hamas monsters. The voice of 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.720 our dead, one dead ones blood cries out to us 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.480 from the ground. It requires us to settle accounts with 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.280 the depraved murderers, and we will settle the score with them. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.360 And he quoted Psalm ninety four, Oh God of vengeance, 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.600 Oh Lord, Oh God, show vengeance, and the Israeli Defense 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.840 Minister echoed that outrage, said that Hamas will pay for 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.000 what they have done. Amas subducted, Hamas murdered, Hamas will 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:08.280 be destroyed. But there's got to be a resolution and 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.440 has got to be permanent. Now the Ukraine situation is 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.400 also gotten way out of control. And I'm gonna be honest, 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.799 you know, Yes, Putin is a murdering dictator, thug. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:23.480 I've never said anything different. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.359 He had his territorial ambitions and he starts building up 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:29.560 troops along the border. 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.760 It's going to be what the three year anniversary. I 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.200 believe in on Monday. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.000 Now, part of the negotiations have been okay, Well, the 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.840 US spent nearly two hundred billion plus dollars, you know, 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.839 because of Joe Biden, just get candying money over left 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.240 and right. It became a proxy war between the US 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.520 and Russia. And it all could have been both these conflicts, 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.520 I believe would have been stopped. And one of the 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.680 questions that came up that that President Trump said that 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.000 they agreed to was his mineral deal that would pay 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.120 back the American taxpayers all the hundreds of billions of 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:10.720 dollars that they gave for this conflict. Zelenski apparently, according 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.240 to Trump, agreed at the time that they had a 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.640 deal and now has pulled back on it. That's where 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.639 some of this hostilities is coming from. 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:20.639 Anyway. 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.760 It's a bit of a complicated mess. Rebecca Koffler is 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:28.760 with US. He's with the Strategic Military Intelligence an analyst 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.360 and wrote the book Putin's Playbook and served as a 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.760 senior official in the Defense Intelligence Agency and work with 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.520 the CIA's National Clandestine Services. And Cliff May is the 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.280 founder and president of the Foundation for Defensive Democracies. 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:45.080 Welcome both of. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.000 You, Thank you, thank you. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.920 John, Neither one. 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.360 Is an easy fix, but I think in both cases, 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.120 I think there there is a way to thread a needle. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.560 I don't have all the answers, Rebecca, but I would 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.880 imagine in Europe it's going to be exactly what I said, 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.040 and that's going to be no NATO number one, number two. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.360 There's probably going to be some mineral deal with America 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:16.440 that would probably result in some defense agreement, and likely 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.440 you know, the Dombos region, I would imagine would be Russia's. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:25.840 Absolutely, this is the only solution, Sean. President Trump is 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:30.880 doing the right thing. There was absolutely no path for 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:35.600 victory from Ukraine from the very beginning. It was mathematically impossible, 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.520 and I was talking about it for three years. Why 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:43.160 is that? It's because from the combat potential standpoint, which 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.839 is calculated as a combination of weapons, systems, military forces, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:52.160 the ability of the multi industrial complex to scale up 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:57.280 to produce the necessary amount of armaments to win the war. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:03.320 In defense economics, Russia outweighs Ukraine massively, and they also 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:07.520 have three times more people to throw into Pudent's meat grinder, 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.880 and Europeans never wanted to provide for their own security, 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.520 So this is why they decided to throw Ukraine and 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.480 Ukrainians as human shields to protect themselves from Pudince. Well, 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.159 President Trump wants to stop the killing of Ukrainians, He 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.000 wants to stop the bloodshed, and he wants to stop 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.719 the bleeding of US cash and our own armaments because 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.120 we have depleted our weapons by giving it to Ukraine 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.520 too dangerous levels is going to take from five to 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.360 eighteen years, depending on the weapon systems, to replenish it. 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.799 And that's the only solution is to bring peace to Ukraine. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.880 And President Trump is the only one who is capable 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:48.560 of doing it. Agree with him. 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.480 Look, my take is the power and I would love 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.040 to see Putin, who, as you suggest it and is 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.480 an outlaw, is a war criminal, is a thug, is 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.840 an aggressor trying to restore the Russian Empire by pulling 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.800 Ukraine back into it. Who took two provinces from Georgia, 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.840 Who's made a vassal state out of Belarus. I'd love 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.960 to see him defeated. It's not in the cards. I 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.520 understand that I wrote a column earlier this week though 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.720 Washington Times, and I said, what is possible? This was 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.560 before the spat between Zelenski and Trump, and I said, look, 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.919 there are goals that President Trump has set out, and 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.359 they're good ones, and they're very simple. Just here's what 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:35.159 would happened. Is that you would end Russia's war against Ukraine. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:40.680 You would establish an economic partnership between Ukraine and the US, 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.520 and that would be based on an untapped natural resource, 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.000 rare earths, and you'd help Ukraine build it. The terror 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:53.320 capacity is lacked three years ago, and that would be 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.160 a reasonable outcome. By the way, if Ukraine is sending 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.840 rare earths to the US, that means Ukraine is not 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.160 under the jackboot of the Russians and sending rare earths 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.560 to China. That's a good outcome. Is it the best outcome? No, 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:09.560 but it's a good outcome. 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.560 Well, it's the only outcome based on the mess that 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.200 that Donald Trump inherited here. I mean, now there's the 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.840 little little signs that we're seeing here the US. I 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:25.800 don't know, maybe just accidental timing. I don't think anything's accidental. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:33.200 But our military successfully launched in unarmed icbm Vandenberg Space 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.400 for space out in California, about one hundred and fifty 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.920 miles from Los Angeles, I don't think that was an accident. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.440 I don't think it was an accident, Rebecca, that bunker 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.720 buster bombs arrived in Israel. Since Donald Trump has become president, 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.360 I think that's a wink and a nod that once, 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.400 once these hostages and these bodies are recovered, I think 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.000 the handcuffs are off, and I think there's going to 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.880 be hell to pay for hamas his ballah and for Iran. 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:05.360 President President Trump is doing right now. He is signaling 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:11.880 that our strategian deterrence doctrine is at play here. The 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.560 reason why Putin invaded Ukraine in the first place is 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.760 because he knew that he boxed us in with that 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:24.280 nuclear escalated to de escalate, and President Biden was not 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.880 capable of providing the right amount of weaponry to Ukraine 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:33.280 in order to win the war because Putin present tactical nukes, 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:37.839 while President Trump likes to win the right way. The 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.400 art of the deal for President Trump is to win 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:46.240 without fighting. How do you do that? The ancient Chinese 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.920 motory strategist San Zoo rose in his seminal to the 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.320 Other Wars, to win one hundred victories and one hundred 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.840 battles is not the supreme excellence. The supreme excellence is 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.400 to subdue the enemy, to break his resistance without fighting. 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.400 Prisident Trump does not want to fight the stupidest way. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.720 He wants to fight the right way. And by telegraphing 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:12.240 that we have the capability, whether it's ICBMs or whether 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:17.199 it's building the ballistic medical defense shield over the United States, 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.079 that by the way, right now doesn't fully protect the US. 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:25.560 He is signaling through the adversary not only we are 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:31.760 protecting ourselves and our ally, we also are capable or 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:38.040 it's twixting the incalculable damage on you, whether it's the 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:43.440 the Ayatollahs, whether it's the rocket land or Hamas he uh. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:48.600 And they understand when Trump says something, he means business. 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.320 But words don't count by themselves. So that's why when 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.040 when Biden called Putin the kill or this and that 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.280 Putin knew that, uh, that Biden does not have the 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.640 kahonas and we didn't we have the actual fully operational 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.960 piece of bullet to fight a nuclear. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:05.559 War with Russia. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.720 Well that is all going to change because Trump is 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:13.040 going to back up his words with full combat capability 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:17.280 that if Joan fails, we can fight and actually wins 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:18.200 this war. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.400 A couple of things. One is it's important to remember 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.160 that Putin is right now in a no limits partnership 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:30.559 with Shijing thing in Beijing, and he has a military 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:35.160 economic relationship as well with the Jihadis in Tehran, with 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:41.520 Tehran's sending various drones and missiles to Russia to use 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.760 against the Ukrainians. Putin also has a relationship that it's 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.480 very close getting ever closer with Kim Jong un in 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:54.319 North Korea. Kim John's been sending munitions and sending Korean 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:58.400 soldiers known mostly to die as cannon fodder in Kurse, 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.360 which is a region of Russia where the Ukrainians have 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.600 invaded and taken over so they can trade it later. 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.440 This is the kind of access of Aggressorsi. There are 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.839 those who think, oh, we can make prudent into our friends, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.679 let's do another reset of our relationship the way Obama did. 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.840 I think that's total, total fiction. So the way this 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.040 works out is you can think of South Korea after. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:20.640 The Korean War. 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.560 South Korea is chronically threatened by North Korea, but not 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.679 emitively threatened because it's an ally of the United States. 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:32.120 Or another example is Finland. In nineteen thirty nine, the 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.720 Soviet Union tried to invaded Finland, tried to pull it 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.760 into the Soviet Empire. The Finns were very courageous, like 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.480 the Ukrainians are. They fought. How did it end? They 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.440 lost eleven percent of their territory, but they retained their 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.679 independence and guess what two years ago they joined NATO. 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:50.959 Yeah, they really did. 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.360 All right, quick break, we'll come back talking more about 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.080 how we get on peace in Europe and the Middle 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.240 East with Rebecca Kafler and Cliff May more, and then 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.240 we'll get to your call. This Friday, eight hundred and 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.079 ninety four one seawn our number if you want to 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:07.520 be a part of the program. I would continue now 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.160 talking about the possibilities of peace in Europe and the 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.560 Middle East with Rebecca Kappler and Cliff May. 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.400 I'll give you the last word. 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:21.520 Rebecca, Well, I think President Trump is going to resolve 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:26.080 the situation with the access that Cliff correctly pointed out, 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:30.240 the evil access of Russia China on in North Korea. 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.040 How is that the Russians and the Chinese are actually 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.960 not strategic partners the way that they are trying to 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:41.439 present it. To the world they are they're actually opponents 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.640 and even adversaries. The chief of Russian General Staff in 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.440 two thousand and nine, the previous one, Makata actually stated 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.120 the quiet part of loud. The Russians never stayed publicly, 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:57.719 but we know this from our intelligence announces. So Makatoff 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:03.400 said that China is actually Russian security threat number two, 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.400 following the United States and Mail. And why is that. 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.800 It's because they have Russian China and an extremely long 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.320 border in the Far East, and the Chinese have been 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:21.040 incrementally encroaching upon that border by economically trying to integrate 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:26.200 that part into China, and then the the Russian, the 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:31.120 Chinese marrying, the Russian intermarrying. So uh, this is why 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:37.040 exactly Putin developed that tactical nuclearic capability is to deter China. Well, 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:41.720 President Trump is going to split up that alliance, and 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.640 the Chinese already bothered by the recent phone call that 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:49.319 was not Trump held with Putin. Why is that because 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.680 there's sensing that Trump is actually onto them. And there's 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.360 a reason also why Trump held the first meeting. Uh, 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.360 and reards, you know, between the Ussian team and the 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:05.880 American team, just pick the negotiations on Ukraine because he 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:11.920 wants to unleash the energy dominance that actually, uh you know, 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.640 when Biting canceled Keystone, right, he inadvertently or maybe purposefully, 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.480 I don't know, finance police war machine because the supply 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.560 of world jobs and the police revenues energy rating is 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.440 jacked up. So Trump wants to change all that. He 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.680 wants to have Saudis and outside. So Trump is actually 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:37.080 playing a multi dimensional chess game and couldn't understands that, 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.760 and he is actually frightened by that. So slowly but 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.440 surely Trump is going to dismantle just like he's dismantling 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.640 the deep state here in America. He's going to dismantle 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:53.720 that access of evil of Russia, China, Rocketman and the Iotola. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:58.880 We talk forever, but it's certainly, you know, worthwhile if 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.400 we can get this done, and it's going to be 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.680 better for the world, and we've got to we got 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.360 to think out of the box. And just like with Congress, 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.000 they're not going to get everything they want. Rebecca Koffler, 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.320 thank you, Cliffmate, thank you. We appreciate both of you. 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.080 Eight hundred and nine to four one. Sean, if you 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.200 want to be a part of the program. So the 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.480 radicalism and the insanity of the left continues. I played 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.200 this earlier in the week. Let me play it again. 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:27.160 It's Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and oh, she's against giving those 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:31.280 savings back to Americans. Five thousand dollars is nothing. And 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:35.480 I'm sitting there thinking, well, from four years ago, Americans 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.160 are paying on average twelve to thirteen thousand dollars more 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.720 for the same items when you include energy as well. 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.600 And it's like, what are you talking about. Fifty five 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.600 percent of the country if they if they have a 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:53.840 one thousand dollars unexpense expected emergency expense, they're in trouble. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.600 That just came out a couple of weeks ago. I mean, 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.720 that is that. That's a dire economic news. I know 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.320 what it's like. I've been there. It's not fun. And 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.760 this is but this is the modern extreme, radical left 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:08.840 wing mindset. 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:09.240 Listen. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.000 Now, President Trump says he likes the idea of giving 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.720 some of the savings from DOGE back to Americans as 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.400 kind of a dividend. Would you support that? 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.960 Listen, He's just telling a lie right now. What they're 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.000 going to do is say, hey, we want to give 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.800 you a refund, but Congress won't let us because they 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.520 already know that there's just no money for that. So no, 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.000 we are not in the business of giving out money. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.840 And honestly, I don't know what five thousand dollars will 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.960 do for you if you are unable to find a job, 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.440 because I am telling people we are headed towards the recession. 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:46.200 What were you telling people during the Harris Biden years? 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:50.200 Well are you telling them then? Anyway, it's pretty unbelievable. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.320 Now she said other dumb things this week, Let's go 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.480 to her actually claiming people who typically vote Republican are 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.360 less educated and no want to read and enlighten themselves 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.440 on the fat let me, let me, let me, let me, 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.919 let me tell you something. This is outrageous because this 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.720 is like Tom Hanks on Saturday Night Live in that 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:13.920 fiftieth anniversary show, almost supporter, and I'm not going to 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.040 shake an ara for good Americans. And I mean, that's 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.600 what they think of us, because that's not who we are, 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.760 and they want to create caricatures, but they really you know, 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.240 she's she's out there claiming that, you know, people who 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.400 typically vote Republican are I'm very smart. 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:32.040 Listen, when you look at who's voting for who the 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.480 less educated folks. And when I say educated, I'm not 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.520 even talking about formal education. I'm talking about people that 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.720 literally don't want to read and enlighten themselves on facts. 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.520 Those are the people that typically vote for the Republicans. 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.520 And it's one of the reasons that we have to 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.800 stop writing in theses as Democrats, right Like, we want 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.400 to give you every single little detail that we can 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.760 find so that you can have all the information. But 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.520 the reality is that the average person that is going 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.760 out there and voting, they're not paying attention to that. 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.639 No, this is what happened on Saturday Night Live with 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:02.359 Tom Hanks. 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.439 If more folks weren't to church, we wouldn't be in 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:07.720 this mess we're in now. 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:08.800 You know what. 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:10.720 I agree with you, Doug. I'd like to shake your hand, sir. 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:16.280 Here we go. No, no, oh no, no, just a handshake. Ye, 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:18.080 You're welcome at Black jeff Gey Time. 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.920 Thank you, my mind by brother, and maybe I'll start 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:24.120 a show for you. 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.760 To come on and we'll call it what Jeopardy. 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:28.040 No, we don't need it. 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:29.280 We don't need it. 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.720 Okay, I got it. Here's more, Jasmine Crockett. I'm rooting 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.879 for Canada and Mexico. They're the one streak speaking truth 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.720 to power, rooting against your own country. 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:42.520 Really, listen, the. 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.439 Fact that I'm rooting for Canada and I'm rooting for 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.280 Mexico a lot is really wild. But they are really 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.680 the ones that are speaking truth to power right now. 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:52.560 They can see what it is, and they were like, 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.960 we are not messing with this crazy regime from mary 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.560 A Lago and basically calling them thugs. 0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:58.560 That's what it is. 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.280 But I'm like, y'all knew who he was when ya 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.080 hefted him, So don't at surprise. 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.159 No, so don't like surprise. All right, let's get to 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:09.320 our busy phones. Long Island, New York. Gene is there, Geene? 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:09.679 How are you? 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.560 How's my old stomping grounds? Anyone there? Miss me? Hopefully? 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:13.520 A few people? 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.480 Yes I should, Yeah, we really do. We miss you. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.119 If I was a little younger, I'll move down there also, 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.560 But I'm eighty, so you know my children are up here. 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:24.480 Well, you know what my accountants used to say to 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.280 me for years and years, and I'd look at him 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.520 like we'd have an annual meeting. And they'd be like, 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:30.600 all right, whatever you do, don't die in New York. 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:33.680 And I'd look at him like, what, Okay, I'll have 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.760 a conversation with God. Let me call up God and say, God, 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:38.640 please make it so I don't die in New York 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.119 or as a New York resident, which I am not 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:46.000 any longer, so it's not an issue anymore. But I'll 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.440 tell you it's you'd like the weather down in South Florida. 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:55.600 Yes, they do. Sometimes I visit my friends that they 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.560 live in near Miami, so sometimes I go down there. 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:00.840 But the reason I want I had to call you 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.679 is you've been coming into my living room since the 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.679 Hannity and Home Days. We've been watching you for so 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:10.720 many years and you've thank you and I love your 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.960 shows that I enjoyed the interview that did with Trump 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:19.119 at Musk. You really humanized Musk. You know, here's a billionaire. 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:21.520 How many times do we get to see a billionaire 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.840 really come down to your own level and tell you 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:25.920 what he's going to be doing with a sincere heart. 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.760 I mean, I truly truly appreciated that. 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.480 Yeah, Litten, listen, it was my pleasure. You give me 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.000 the ability to do that thank you for your support 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.159 over these many years. I love what I do and 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:40.200 it's only because of people like you, and I want 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.080 that that was my goal. I wanted to get to 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:46.719 know him. I am frankly disgusted that a man of 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.280 such incredible accomplishment, that has done so much good in 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:55.120 his life and continues to do it is just viciously, 0:20:55.440 --> 0:21:00.879 you know, in this repulsive, vile way, demonize, smear and slandered, 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.680 and it's like that, that's not who this guy is, 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.719 and they don't want to tell the story of who 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.640 he is and they're not going to so having had 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:15.520 the opportunity I did, and this is why I try 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.160 to make this show different than other shows out there. 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:21.080 And I would argue partly that's one of the reasons 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:24.040 we've had any success is that we do things other 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.840 people don't don't do, won't do, and if they did 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.240 do it, they'd sit there arguing over who was in charge, 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.800 and you know, conflict, conflict, conflict. Then they waste all 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:37.200 their time and you learn nothing about who Elon Musk was. 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:40.199 That I did ask those questions, but that was not 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:43.200 my main focus of interest, to be very honest personally, 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:45.119 and nor do. I think it was what the audience 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:45.680 wanted to hear. 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:48.879 Well, thank you so much. You know I met you 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:51.240 twenty years ago, close to twenty years ago at a 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:54.880 fun ring with Joe Felman. He was running for your district, 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:58.200 and I took them. Yeah, my wife and I, Joe 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.520 and you, and I want them to send it to 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:02.480 you and get a signature or take a picture of 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:03.600 it tax it to you. 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:05.840 Well, we'll make that happen. We're gonna put you on 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.320 hold and they'll get the picture to me. I'll sign it, 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:10.960 and I'll do it with pleasure to have them. 0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:12.399 Okay, I have. 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:14.720 One thing for a new for a new segment for 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:16.720 you or a new show, that you would take the 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.240 tour of the White House. I would love to see 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:21.359 you do that for and Millennia. 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:23.520 You know what, I think that's a really cool idea. 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.439 I know what I think. I give me time. I 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:31.480 know the President's really busy and uh, but I think 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:33.760 that's a really cool idea. I have done it in 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:37.480 the past, but not that is exhaustively or extensively. He's 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:42.199 given me a tour personally, and it's an amazing experience. 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:44.480 You remember when the hostage got back. He said, like 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:46.000 three times, I'm gonna if you want to see the 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:49.240 Lincoln better, it's pretty cool and it is cool and 0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:53.040 uh and and just being in that Oval offices, it's 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:55.240 a very special place. And I'm glad he's the guy 0:22:55.280 --> 0:23:00.000
