1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Our two Sean Hannity show toll free. It is eight 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one Shawn if you want to 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. So the President will 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,159 Speaker 1: finish the work that he started as it relates to 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: the threat that is a nuclear armed Iran. In the process, 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: we have discovered that NATO allies are absolutely pathetically useless 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: and it's frustrating and it's unnecessary. We've seen it with 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: Macron and France. We've seen it with Spain, We've seen 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: it with now Italy. Great Britain has been pathetic. I 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: think a lot of this comes from internal political pressure 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: in most of these European countries. They have absolutely abandoned 12 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,959 Speaker 1: their national security and defense needs on their own. They 13 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: have been reluctant and resistant to be being good NATO 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: allies and partners, never wanted to pay their fair share. 15 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: Now they are beginning to harden their resistance in terms 16 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: of even keeping open the straight of hor moves anyway. 17 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: The President told the UK, for example, buy your oil 18 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: from America or you open the straight of horror moves. 19 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,639 Speaker 1: And Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, said the straight 20 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: of horr Moves is going to open one way or 21 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: the other warning the Iranians of real consequences, and you know, 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: on the other side of it, President Trump saying, well, 23 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,639 Speaker 1: we really don't need the straight for ourselves. We're energy 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: dominant and energy independent, and you know, we'll get our 25 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: own oil, and the President saying, you get your own oil. Yeah, 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: there's going to be this temporary disruption which has raised 27 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: the price of a gallon of gasoline. Nobody likes it. 28 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't like it, You don't like it. But here's 29 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: the question you have to ask for the short term, 30 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: is it worth it to prevent handing off an America 31 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: under the threat of a nuclear armed Iran with long 32 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: range intercontinental ballistic missiles. I think it's kind of a 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: no brainer. Now here's the Secretary of State Marco Rubio 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: calling out Spain other NATO countries for denying the US 35 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: use of their bases. 36 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: Listen, I think it was very disappointing you have this 37 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: and again, look, the President and our country will have 38 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: to re examine all of this after this operation is over. 39 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: But one of the reasons why NATO is beneficial to 40 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: the United States is it gives us basing rights for contingencies. 41 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: It allows us to station troops and aircraft and weapons, 42 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: and in parts of the world that we would normally 43 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: have bases, and that includes in much of Europe. And 44 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 2: to see that in the time of need, the United 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: States has identified a grave risk to our national security 46 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 2: and our national interests and we needed to conduct this operation. 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: And we have countries like Spain, a NATO member that 48 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: we are pledged to defend, denying us the use of 49 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: their airspace and bragging about it, denying us the use 50 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: of their bases. And there are other countries that have 51 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: done that as well. And so you ask yourself, well, 52 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: what is in it for the United States? 53 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: What is in it for the United States? 54 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: Now, if you want some numbers, an explanation in terms 55 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: of national defense spending for the US in NATO and 56 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: put it in context and the aggregate total defense expenditures 57 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: when we talk about personnel, equipment, operations, research, development, et cetera. 58 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: You know, twenty twenty five NATO total defense spending estimates 59 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: range from one point four trillion to one point six trillion, 60 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: and the US share is close to a trillion of that, 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: a little shy of that, about nine hundred and eighty 62 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: billion dollars. And you know that equals roughly sixty two 63 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: percent of the NATO wide total. Let me let me 64 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: interpret that for you. That means that NATO is nothing 65 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: without the United States, and as they now have allowed 66 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: their defenses to deteriorate over decades, as they have embraced 67 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: radical socialism and climate alarmism, as they have allowed unfettered 68 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: illegal immigration without assimilation, resulting in Sharia courts in Great 69 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Britain and no go zones in France and other parts 70 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: of Europe. I think they're looking at a voting constituency 71 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: and factoring in what the domestic cost would be if 72 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: the if these respective countries pledged to help us, in fact, 73 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: where to get involved in any way. 74 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: And meanwhile, you know, all. 75 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: These countries, they're the ones that need the energy from 76 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: the straight of Horror moves, not the US anyway. James Robbins, 77 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: former Special assistant to Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and Institute of 78 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: World Politics Dean Welcome to the program. Thanks for being 79 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: with us. I don't blame Secretary of State Rubio for 80 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: viscerating Spain and other NATO allies, so called allies, you know, 81 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: for denying the US military their airspace and then boasting 82 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: about it. There will be a price to pay. I know, 83 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, I've known them for thirty years. There's going 84 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: to be a price to pay. 85 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 4: Well, Sean, you're absolutely right. I think President Trump is 86 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: when he says, go get your own oil, he's trying 87 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 4: to help them clarify their thinking. You know, they have 88 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 4: to look at the long term on this. By saying 89 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 4: that we don't have your back on this particular fight. 90 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 4: The US secures freedom of navigation globally and has since 91 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 4: World War Two. I mean that's been a job that 92 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 4: we have taken on and they have benefited from that, 93 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 4: you know, even beyond the Atlantic Alliance. And now when 94 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: the Strait is closed, they can't get their oil and 95 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 4: they're saying, well, you know what, we're not even going 96 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 4: to help you, even with overfly rights or even with 97 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 4: basing rights. Well, you know, they have to think about 98 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 4: the bigger picture because that could mean an end of NATO. 99 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: Well, they're not thinking about the bigger picture. I honestly 100 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: think this is the end of NATO. How do you 101 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: come back from this? Well, they're unreliable partners and allies, 102 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: and we pay the bulk of money is to defend them. 103 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 4: Well, It's really difficult because the question keeps coming up, 104 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 4: and it came up at the recent NATO conference. What 105 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 4: exactly are we defending in NATO? We have the shared 106 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 4: history with Europe, we have the shared culture with Europe. Okay, 107 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 4: all of that is the past and to an extent, 108 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 4: the present. But then when you look at like you said, 109 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 4: the domestic questions that, well, maybe they're not helping us 110 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 4: out with Iran because of their own immigrant population or 111 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 4: the direction that their countries are going, well, that says 112 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 4: a lot about Europe's future. And so if we wanted 113 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 4: to defend the Europe of the past, that's fine, but 114 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 4: we have to look forward. Is the Europe of the 115 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 4: future something that the United States wants to continue to 116 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: make an investment and in terms of defending it? 117 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 1: But they have been now in a in a decades 118 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: long decline in terms of their values, have they not? 119 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: They have not. 120 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: They have not upped the ante in terms of their 121 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: commitment to the next generation of weaponry. They're not doing 122 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: it as individual countries, they're not doing it as a continent, 123 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: as a as a whole. They've all had this unfettered, 124 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: unvetted illegal immigration, no assimilation mandates at all. And and again, 125 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: did you ever think in your lifetime you'd have close 126 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: to one hundred sharia courts in Great Britain or no 127 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: go zones in in Europe and in France and other countries. 128 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: I never thought i'd see that. 129 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 4: Oh no, it's crazy. I mean when you have something, 130 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 4: you know, in Britain where the ruling party is saying 131 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 4: that that rural Britain is too white, you know, for example, 132 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 4: like they're you know, the immigrants are all focused in 133 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 4: the cities, but you got to like somehow spread them 134 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 4: out in the countryside, you know, to enrich it with diversity. 135 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 4: I mean, well, you know, if that's still going to 136 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 4: be England. Again, this raises the question of what exactly 137 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 4: are we defending in the Atlantic Alliance? Is it our 138 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 4: market access? You know, what the heck is it? We 139 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: knew what it was in the Cold War, we were 140 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 4: defending them against you know, communist aggression from the Soviet Union, 141 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 4: But you know, we don't exactly know what it is now. 142 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 4: And so when when the Europeans do things like this 143 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 4: and just don't back us up, it just raises these 144 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 4: questions again. I mean, they are they are really losing 145 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: the bubble in terms of if they want to preserve NATO, 146 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 4: they really need to step up on this because this 147 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 4: is more of their fight. The horn moose fight is 148 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 4: much more of their fight, and it was Iran that 149 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 4: dragged him into it. Cure Starmer's saying that we're not 150 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 4: going to be dragged in. Iran illegally escalated the war 151 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 4: by attacking neutral countries, attacking civilian shipping and closing an 152 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 4: international waterway. That wasn't US that did it. 153 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 5: That was Iran. 154 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 4: And so if the Europeans don't see that as a 155 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 4: threat to their self interest, not to mention the fact 156 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 4: that Iron lied about the range of their missiles and 157 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 4: you know, lied about their nuclear program, if they don't 158 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 4: see all this as a threat to them personally, but 159 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 4: forget us, it's a threat to them and they need 160 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 4: to step up. 161 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: Well, I think you just alluded to something that came 162 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: out of this conflict that we didn't expect, and that 163 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: is well, it shouldn't really surprise anybody because international organizations 164 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: have always underestimated where the Iranians are militarily, and we've 165 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: learned that they have much longer range ballistic missiles than 166 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: we had thought and guess what Iran can now with 167 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: the range they currently have with their missile systems. They 168 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: can reach Paris, they can reach London. You don't have 169 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: the ability yet to reach the US as far as 170 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: I can see. However, you know, if they get those 171 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: booster rockets. Gordon Cheng was on the program talking about 172 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: these yesterday, they are well on their way to intercontinental 173 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: ballistic missiles, which then gets to the core of why 174 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: the President made this decision in the beginning was the 175 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: sixty percent enriched uranium that they have, which could be 176 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: turned into weapons grade uranium in ninety day I'm sorry, 177 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: an eleven days or so, anywhere between seven and eleven days, 178 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: which would mean they'd have ballistic intercontinental ballistic missiles and 179 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: eleven nuclear warheads. They're not within range of this country, 180 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: but they are within range of these these so called 181 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: NATO allies, Oh for sure. 182 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 4: When you look at Oran space program, for example, where 183 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 4: they were setting up satellites, I mean, there's a very 184 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 4: little difference between an ICBM and a rocket that can 185 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 4: launch a satellite. In fact, if you look at the 186 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 4: origins of our space program, it was very connected to 187 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 4: our nuclear program. So Ron was going down that same road, 188 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 4: and the UN inspectors already had found that Iran was 189 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 4: working on nuclear capable warheads. Well, why would they be 190 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 4: working on nuclear capable warheads if they had nothing to 191 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 4: put in them. So this threat has really been downplayed 192 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 4: by the people who just want to ignore it or say, 193 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 4: you know, it doesn't matter, or didn't want to see 194 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 4: this conflict roup, or who thought that things like the 195 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 4: Obama JCPOA agreement was going to stop it, which it wasn't. 196 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 4: I mean, eventually this had to happen, And Okay, it's 197 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 4: happening now, and whether or not the Europeans like it, 198 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 4: it is happening, and they need to get in on it. 199 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: All right, quick break, we'll come right back more on 200 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: the other side. James Robbins for More, Special Assistant to 201 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and the Institute of World Politics, Dean 202 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: More on NATO Operation Epic Fury. What needs to happen 203 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: to wind this all down? On the other side? Eight 204 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, our number. If you 205 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program, have you. 206 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 5: Ever ready to get out of the media spin room? 207 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 6: You've come to the right place. Is the Sean Hannity Show. 208 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 3: All right, we continue now. 209 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: James Robbins is with us discussing another failure and frankly, 210 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: the complete meltdown of the NATO Alliance as a result 211 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 1: of the absolute distrust that now European ally I used 212 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: to have instilled in every American and especially me. I've 213 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: had it with these people. As far as I'm concerned, 214 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: they should be on their own. Well, I can't. I 215 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: can't see that this is going to end well for them. 216 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: I just can't. I mean, Donald Trump, Look, he was 217 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: very very clear in what he said. He added, the 218 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: UK had to learn to fight for themselves and the 219 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: US won't be there to help them anymore. That's a 220 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: pretty clear indication that he's separating himself from NATO and 221 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: the NATO Alliance. 222 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 4: You know, I think so we saw this kind of 223 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 4: flurry of activity about a week or two ago when 224 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 4: they were like sending some ships in the Mediterranean. They 225 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 4: were having discussions about how they could do something, and 226 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 4: then that all kind of faded out, and now we're getting, 227 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 4: you know, denial of basing and overflight rights. They have 228 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 4: to know that Donald Trump is serious. He's always been 229 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 4: a serious guy. If he's talking this way, he's intending something, 230 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 4: and Secretary of Rubio saying we're going to reexamine everything afterwards. 231 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 4: That debate was already going on. That's already a strong 232 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 4: debate and Republican party. So the Europeans, I think they 233 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 4: still have a chance to respond. But if they just 234 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 4: set this one out, it's going to end badly for them. 235 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: I think it's too little, too late to be very 236 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: blunt and very honest at this particular point, I don't 237 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: see how they recover. Let's get to what needs to happen. 238 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: As both the President and the Secretary of State have indicated, 239 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: this is now coming to a quick end. It seems 240 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: to me that there are certain things that are going 241 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: to have to happen. One is, whatever nuclear material or 242 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: enriched uranium they have at sixty percent will have to 243 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: be either handed over or taken. I hope it would 244 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: be the former, not the latter. The strait of for 245 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: moves would have to be opened up, and probably the 246 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: President would prefer to leave Ran a little better than 247 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: he found it with some type of commitment, although I 248 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: don't think it's his top priority that they stop killing 249 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: their own people. 250 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that would be. It'd be great if they 251 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 4: had a revolution, if they had a popular epport. I 252 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 4: think that's the only way we're going to get a 253 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 4: guarantee on any of this. The Iranians, you know, whoever 254 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 4: we're negotiating with, and there seem to be multiple power 255 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 4: centers over there. They can sign an agreement. 256 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 5: Will they live up to it. 257 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 4: I doubt it. How will we verify and and force it? 258 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 4: I don't know. But we have to stand by what 259 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 4: we said that they can't have a nuclear program, they 260 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 4: have to restrict their missile program, the strait has to 261 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 4: be reopened, and you know, they have to be good citizens, 262 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 4: stop supporting these insurgency groups around the world, stop being 263 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 4: the leading supporter of proism. I'm surprised they haven't just 264 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 4: signed off on all that and said sure, we agree, 265 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 4: you know, and then betray it later. But so long 266 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 4: as we're negotiating with them, you know, they're going to 267 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: keep fighting. I think they think if they survive at all, 268 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 4: that it's a win for them. So I'd love to 269 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 4: see the Iranian people take matters into their own hands. 270 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to understand the mindset that you 271 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: watch the warning for Midnight Hammer. You watch the warning 272 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: for Epic Fury, you saw the results of ignoring those warnings. 273 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: Now they're being warned again that everything is going to 274 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: be destroyed. And yet why is that even a question? 275 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: And I guess the fourth or fifth tier leadership, you 276 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: would think they would have learned something. 277 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 4: You know, at some level, you're going to find someone 278 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 4: who would rather live. You know, find somebody who would 279 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 4: just say, you know what, maybe living in peace with 280 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 4: our neighbors, maybe having prosperity is better than what we got. 281 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 4: And like the President said, hopefully we can find that person. 282 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 4: I don't think we've found them yet, but eventually, someone 283 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 4: like that has got to stand up and say, hey, 284 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 4: why are we doing all this? Why are we a 285 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 4: leading source of pass in the world. Why can't we 286 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 4: just have a normal country and just live in peace? 287 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: Well, you would hope. So I hope it ends quickly 288 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: and successfully and the Iranians no longer will be a 289 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: nuclear threat, and then it's going to be up to 290 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: the people of Iran to do what they think is necessary. 291 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: That has never been our goal regime change, although the 292 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: regime has changed not once, twice, three times, maybe four 293 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: or five times, by this point, I can't actually keep 294 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: up or count anyway. 295 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 3: We really shit you being with us. 296 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: James Robbins eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn, if 297 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program standing 298 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: up for what's right with America, we're back on the 299 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Uh okay, let's get to our busy phones. 300 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: Doug Upstate New York on the Sean Hannity Show.

We just we 316 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 4: appreciate them and everything they do. 317 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: You know, most people are like you. The only people, 318 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: the only lunatics that are not are the radical left, 319 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: and they're the ones that call them Gestapo, Nazi, fascist 320 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: and murderers and all this. They're the ones that want 321 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: to defund them. I mean, you know, I'm reading a 322 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: lot about the upcoming election, and there's too much that's 323 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: going to happen between now and November to really begin 324 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: the narrative, the conversation. But I'm going to tell you 325 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: what it's going to come down to. The Left is insane. 326 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: They're radicalized. They don't want to fund ice. They're perfectly 327 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: okay calling them Gestapo and Nazis and fascist. They don't 328 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: want to fund the police. They want defund dismantled, no 329 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: bail laws. They want open borders, they want sanctuary cities 330 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: and states. They sat silently as murderers and rapists and 331 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: child molesters and other violent criminals, terrorists known terrorists or 332 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: out into this country. They voted for the largest tax 333 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: increase in history. They're the party that wants windmills and 334 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: doesn't want us to be energy dominant. They're the party 335 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: that just hates Donald Trump twenty four to seven. So 336 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: if if you know, people are taking hope that somehow, 337 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: the crazy, insane, radicalized left in this country that we're 338 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: out there protesting all weekend is their future. It may 339 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: be their future, but it's the end of America as 340 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: we know it if they ever got power. So you know, 341 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: I am not where others are in terms of being 342 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: nervous anyway, Doug, appreciate your man. Eight hundred and ninety 343 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: four one Shawn Jim and Pennsylvania Jim. How are you 344 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: glad you called? 345 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 7: How are you today, mister Annedy, I'm good, sir. 346 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 3: What's going on? 347 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 7: Well, I was listening the other day and we hear 348 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 7: a lot of talk about these new Kings rallies and 349 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 7: the three point something billion chairleon that was spent to 350 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 7: finance them. So my question is is that money being 351 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 7: spent in the United States? Are they then? 352 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 3: I would assume so? 353 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: Or are you saying is the source of that money 354 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: from inside the US? 355 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 7: Well, I'm going to talk about the what was spent 356 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 7: on the US because I'm thinking, would those people protesting 357 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 7: no Kings then be benefiting those said Kings with their 358 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 7: tax dollars and the money they're spending in the United States? 359 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: Well maybe in a sense, I mean I can I'm 360 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: not sure where you're going with this. 361 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 3: What do you mean? 362 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 7: Well, I'm curious about the money that was spent and 363 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 7: the three point somewhat billion that was used and trickled 364 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 7: down through to finance these protests. That money was spent 365 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 7: in the United States, therefore that money should be taxed 366 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 7: as income for the receivers. Therefore that tax money would 367 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 7: then go to benefit these said kings that they're protesting against, 368 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 7: would it not. 369 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: Well, you do know that they're usually funneled through quote, 370 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: charitable organizations, political organizations, etc. So I'm not sure what 371 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: the exact tax ramifications are depending on how the they 372 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: spend the money. If it's direct you know, if it's 373 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: money being directly handed to people, Yeah, and they don't 374 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: have an organization behind it that is that doesn't pay 375 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: taxes four one seed three for example, then I don't 376 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: see how they could get avoid paying taxes. But I 377 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: don't think that's the case. I think they usually hide 378 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: behind some organizational nonprofit so to speak. 379 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 7: That's a shame. I was hoping that there was a 380 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 7: silver lining in this somewhere because I'm just I'm not 381 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 7: on the committed conservative my whole life, the whole family, 382 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 7: and I see this kind of stuff and I'm just 383 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 7: hoping there's some way our country can benefit from that 384 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 7: money being spent. Since we have to spend so much 385 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 7: to prove them wrong. 386 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: Now, our friend seame Is Brunner, who's been on this program, 387 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: trace two hundred and ninety four million dollars to the 388 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: official No King's two point zero partners and organizers, all 389 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: funneled through the same quote riot ink, dark money networks. 390 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: You know, I just don't know a lot about it. 391 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: I've read it, but the reality is there's a lot 392 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: of money that goes behind it and a lot of 393 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: people that that are This is not the organic protesting 394 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: that they would have you believe. You know, this was 395 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: a well orchestrated, well planned out, well funded, you know, 396 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: a group of radical organizations uniting together to create this 397 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: impression that there is a movement bigger than they are. 398 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: What's amazing about it is, you know, and we showed 399 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: some of this last night. When you actually talk to 400 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: the people that show up, there's some of the dumbest 401 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: people that I've ever heard in my life. And their 402 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: their comments are just beyond one. One is more asinine 403 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: than the other, and it makes no sense. They don't 404 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: even know why they're there, except that I guess it's 405 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: a good day to hang out with a bunch of 406 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: other radical leftists. I have no idea anyway, Jim, appreciate 407 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: the call eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, if 408 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, Marty 409 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: in my free state of Florida. Marty, how are you 410 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: glad you called? 411 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 6: Hey? Thank you for taking my call, Sean. I appreciate so. 412 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 6: Listening to myself the last few days, in my thought 413 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 6: is how much of this uranium is what Obama gave him? 414 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 6: Is there any way to prove that? Can they say 415 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 6: I believe what he gave one hundred and thirty tons 416 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 6: of the stuff. 417 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,719 Speaker 1: I don't know that he gave uranium directly. You know 418 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,719 Speaker 1: you're talking about yellow cake uranium. Look if you go, 419 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: if you go back in time, The tipping point moment 420 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: of appeasement to me was Obama's deal with the Iranians. 421 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: Obama and Biden made this deal with the Iranians where 422 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: they flew in cargo planes full of cash and other 423 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: currency to the tune of billions of dollars. And during 424 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: the Biden years alone, they had all of this money 425 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: that was being held worldwide and the Iranians had no 426 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: access to it, and Biden freed up that money. What 427 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: was that money used for? That money was used to 428 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: build out their nuclear program, their ballistic missile program to 429 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: foment terror. And they also gave them the liberty and 430 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: the freedom to continue to sell their oil on world markets, 431 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: which is the lifeblood again of their sourcing for their 432 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: terror funding network. So all of it combined, I would 433 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: argue lies on their shoulders. Unfortunately, but maybe fortunately, Donald 434 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: Trump inherited and I ran on the precipice of being 435 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: a nuclear power. And again I go back to the 436 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: tipping point. And for those that are isolationists, those that 437 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: just hate anything that Trump does, for the radical left, 438 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: I'm not really trying to appeal to them or people 439 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: that might have a disagreement, I can't convince you. However, 440 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: when you have over one thousand pounds of sixty percent 441 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: enriched uranium fourgner and sixty kilograms whichever measurement you prefer, 442 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: that is capable to be turned into weapons grade uranium 443 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: in seven to eleven days, and you now have ballistic 444 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: missile capability with the help of the North Koreans, that 445 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: means that in very short order they could have been 446 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: a nuclear power, and to me, that would have been 447 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: an existential threat to the United States and to the 448 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: entire world. So the final decision, the final nail in 449 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: the coffin, was the negotiations with Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff 450 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: and the Iranians, and they felt that it was their 451 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 1: inalienable right to make to have nuclear weapons and they 452 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: had no intention of giving that up, even after Midnight 453 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: Hammer destroyed their ability to enrich at least for the interim, 454 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: but every indication was they were reconstituting that program. But 455 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: don't kid yourself that the money that they got from Obama, 456 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: Biden and the radical left that were trying to appease 457 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: the Iranians even in that original Obama deal, they the 458 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: Iranians quote promised, Why you'd ever trust them, I don't know, 459 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: but they promised, And they were not allowed to build 460 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: out a nuclear program for ten years, okay, with no 461 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: and they didn't include in that deal anywhere, any place, 462 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: anytime American inspections. You know, the IAEA has historically notoriously 463 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: underestimated the Iranian regime's ability in terms of their nuclear capability, 464 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: their ballistic missile capability, which we learned in this most 465 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: recent conflict they had ballistic missiles with a far greater 466 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: range than had originally been, and if the North Koreans 467 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: are in fact, as Gordon Chang laid out in great 468 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: specificity yesterday, providing that technology and those boosters, they are 469 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: well on their way to an intercontinental ballistic missiles or 470 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: they were not anymore. That has been neutralized. Now the 471 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: last part of this operation to follow through on the 472 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: President's consistent message that they can't be a nuclear power, 473 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: is to get the enriched uranium. 474 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 3: Now. 475 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: They'll either do it willingly, or will degrade and absolutely 476 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: make it unretrievable, or we'll just take it. I don't 477 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: know what the options are. I'm not a nuclear scientist. 478 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: I don't know about radiological fallout. I don't know the 479 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: dangers associated with each aspect of it. I know that 480 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: it is not a risk that we should be taking 481 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: as a country or as a world, and that then 482 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: makes it even more profound to me how absolutely abhorrent 483 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: our NATO allies have been in. 484 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 3: This entire endeavor. I honestly I. 485 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: Think NATO is a useless, outdated alliance. After the actions 486 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: of Spain and France and Great Britain and other European countries, 487 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: I think they are europe as a continent is a 488 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: continent in a precipitous, dramatic decline, and I don't think 489 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: moving forward we could ever count on them to be 490 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: a real, true, effective ally to the USA. And all 491 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: we're doing is pouring good money after bad giving into 492 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: them as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, I hope that 493 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: answers your question. It's an important question you're asking.

See, these people they're now looked like the 508 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 5: World War two generation. They there. This is a laid 509 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 5: back society who wants everything. You know, gimme, gimme, gimme. 510 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 5: There's no sacrificial UH personality in the American people. This 511 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 5: is why the immediate just jumps on UH poll numbers 512 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 5: and it's pretty ridiculous. So we need to ignore that. 513 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 5: We got to finish this thing in Iran and then 514 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 5: we can deal with Things will cool in the economy. 515 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 5: You know, the gas will come down, the stock marketable rebound, 516 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 5: you name it. 517 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: Doc market had a nice rebound today. Look, all of 518 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: this I think will happen in very short order. You know, Look, 519 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: I guess there's a part of me that can understand 520 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: those people that have been predicting, oh, this will devolve 521 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: into a forever war. 522 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 3: It will not. Donald Trump won't let that happen. I can. 523 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 6: I can. 524 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 3: I can assure you of that. 525 00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 7: UH. 526 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: And I know more than most of the people that 527 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: open their big fat mouths that don't know him, didn't 528 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: support him most of the time. If anything, they are 529 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: only intermittent supporters and that have absolutely no knowledge of anything. 530 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: So this is going to end in short order. We 531 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: have really two major issues remaining, and then things that 532 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: the president will do. 533 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 3: His draw down. 534 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: Israel will continue to do whatever Israel feels is in 535 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: their best national interest, and then Donald Trump will move forward. 536 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: But I can tell you the world will be a 537 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: safer place. And here's the sad part for Donald Trump 538 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: in the sense but it's a great thing for humanity, 539 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: is that if in fact he's successful and stops Ran 540 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: from ever becoming a nuclear power with their radical ideology 541 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: of live, free, or die, we will never history will 542 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: never record how many lives likely were saved by President 543 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: Trump's bold action. And I guess maybe that's the way 544 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: it's designed to be, but if he didn't do it, 545 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: we would know the other side of it, if they 546 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: ever got them and used them. Anyway, thanks so much 547 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: for being one of us.
