1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: Where we're coming to your city, saying you will all 2 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: be desire and if you want a little bang, come along. 3 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: Everything seems to be in place for Russia to engage 4 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: in a major aggression against Ukraine. Let me be clear, 5 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: these are totally defensive moves on our part. We have 6 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: no intention of fighting Russia. I have only one scene 7 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: to say from the bottom of my art, President put 8 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: you stop your troops from attacking the Ukraine. Give peace 9 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: a chance. Too many people have already died. Freedom is 10 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: back in style. Welcome to the Revolution, where coming to 11 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: your city you want to play our guitars and saying 12 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: you accounts new show'd the scenes, information on freaking news 13 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: and more bold inspired solutions for America. This is a 14 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: special edition of The Sean Hannity Show America Trap Behind 15 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: Enemy Lines, Day number one ninety five. All right, our 16 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: two Sean Hannity Show toll free. It's eight hundred and 17 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: nine for one, Shawn, if you want to be a 18 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: part of the program. We're gonna get into the intelligence 19 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: side of this. The cybersecurity threat that exists all as 20 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: a result of Vladimir's invasion of Ukraine, and there are 21 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: still people that are saying, well, it's not like he 22 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: wants to take over the whole country. I'm like, look 23 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: at the map. He's bombed every area of the country. 24 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: He's now in the process. We expected in the next 25 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: forty eight seven two hours that he will take over 26 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: the capital. He's toppling the government. Zelinski will either fly 27 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: out with the probably a planeload worth of cash like 28 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: most leaders do, or he's going to be captured and 29 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: or killed, or captured and or in prison and the 30 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: government will collapse. That is what is going to happen, 31 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: probably no later than the time we get on the 32 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: air here on Monday. It was very interesting. Look, I've 33 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: had my issues in terms of corruption in Ukraine, and 34 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: they're all legitimate. There's there's no disagreement. I mean, it's 35 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: been pretty well chronicled, the whole Barisma deal in and 36 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: of itself. The real quid pro quo. You're not getting 37 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: a billion dollars unless you fire that prosecutor that's investigating 38 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: my son, Hunter Biden, who's being paid millions, the same 39 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: hunter that goes on GMA and asks It was asked, 40 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: do you have any experience in the energy sector? No, 41 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: have you had any business dealings in Ukraine before. Nope, Well, 42 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: why do you think they're paying you millions? I don't know, 43 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you think maybe because your dad's 44 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: the vice president? Probably probably you know, a real quid 45 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: pro quote. But I digressish So I do have issues 46 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: in terms of corruption, but that's not a factor here. 47 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: The factor is whether or not a sovereign nation is 48 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: going to be invaded by Vladimir Putin. And watching what 49 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: happened in Georgia and o Wait, and watching the annexation 50 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: of Crimea in twenty fourteen and satellite states set up 51 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: in Belarus and Moldova, etc. You know how far did 52 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: these Putin territorial ambitions go? That's the question. Former President 53 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: Petro Porschenko said. Putin is mad and crazy and then 54 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: he's come to kill Ukrainians. And by the way, that's 55 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: what he's doing. Listen, pill deal with Putin like with 56 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: the man of the Lost Reason. And he's just he's 57 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: just some met he's just simply crazy. He's just simply 58 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: heavil to come here to kill Ukrainian Ukrainian who is 59 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: we lost now about one hundred and thirty Ukrainian soldiers. 60 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: That's exactly why we shall secure Ukraine today and to 61 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: support Ukrainian with tent tomorrow. I have a feeling that 62 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: I am a specific target of the Russian polready eight years, 63 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: and this is me is just a symbol we are 64 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: not afraid of them. And just now, while we are here, 65 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: we have a report for our civil defense that in 66 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: the five minutes we will have a Russian bombay in 67 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: the center here. Our Congressman, Pat Fallon of Texas is 68 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: with US. An Air Force VET member of the Armed 69 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: Services Committee, Daniel Hoffman, Fox News contributor, thirty year CIA 70 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: ops officer, spent a lot of time, let's just say, 71 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: understanding Russia on a very deep personal level. Congressman, let 72 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: me begin with you militarily. I mean I've gone over 73 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: the numbers repeatedly, and they're just arms at such a 74 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: higher level that it's really a David Goliath scenario. And 75 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate the fact that the Ukrainians are fighting back, 76 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: but they can't win this, can they? No, Well, someone's 77 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: conventionally no. I mean, obviously the Ukrainians are far outmatched. 78 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: It's about what price can be extracted, what can they 79 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: make putin pay? And there's this thing as pure victories. 80 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: And the world's got to remember the world's a very 81 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: small place now and all the war crimes. I just 82 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: saw something on TV where a personnel carey, you just 83 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: ran over a civilian car and killed the people on FIDE. 84 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: I have saw that video myself, Yes, Sean, that's awful. 85 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: So the world will see this on social media as 86 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: these crimes happen, and I think that'll solidify world opinion 87 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: against Putine. Okay, so solidifies world opinion. CRIMEA was twenty fourteen. 88 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: Let's be real here though. In twenty fourteen, what happened 89 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: nothing and the world and everyone went about their business, 90 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: and everybody still addicted to Putin's oil. And even Joe 91 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: Biden and his announced me yesterday he's doing nothing to 92 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: disrupt energy, oil, gas production and trade with Russia. So 93 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: that means that the world got addicted to his oil. 94 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: It got exacerbated. The problem was exacerbated because Joe capitulating 95 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: to this climate change cult fanaticism that's taken over his party, 96 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: then cut and ended energy independence in this country. So 97 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: we can supply our Western European and NATO allies with 98 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: the energy needs that they have and Putin's get a 99 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: lot of natural resources. Even there will even be more 100 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: dependent after this. Yeah, with Joe Biden's weakness and woke this, 101 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: I am worried. There's no doubt. I mean, the first 102 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: thing he did when he came in office, he CAMPI 103 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: the Keystone Pipeline and then he green light the norths 104 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: from too. That's exactly in reverse. President Trump was putting 105 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: America first, bidens, putting America left, and we're seeing the 106 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: consequences of it. And he halted leases on you know, 107 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: for energy exploration on federal He's got to reinstitute. I 108 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: don't think he has the brain power to understand the 109 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: mistakes he's made, but he should reverse those decisions immediately. 110 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 1: And you're right, Sean, I don't think he will because 111 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: he is only catering to his far left base. I 112 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: said it yesterday on this program. His speech yesterday to 113 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: the nation should have been I want to inform the 114 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: American people of a phone call I just got off 115 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: of with every top producing energy company in this in America, 116 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: and I have told them, as of noon today, I 117 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: have lifted any and all restrictions on exploration and production 118 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: of energy in all forms. I have asked them to 119 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: as quickly as possible ramp up energy independence and get 120 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: resources to our friends and allies in Western Europe. Dan Hoffman, 121 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: that speech is never coming, is it. No, it's not. 122 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: But it's really a lot larger than that, Sean. We 123 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: utterly failed to develop a strategy to protect Ukraine. That 124 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: would have meant demonstrating to Vladimir Putin that it would 125 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: be prohibitively costly to him in terms of spilled blood 126 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: and treasure to invade Ukraine. That even after Russia, by 127 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: the way, that was never going to happen. And I 128 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: don't support, for example, American boots on the ground, But 129 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: I think what you're saying is when the Manifesto of 130 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: July twelfth came out that spelled out everything that Putin 131 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: was planning to do. Certainly effort should have been should 132 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: have began in terms of arming the Ukrainians, right, I'm 133 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: not talking about troops. But we got back even further. 134 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: You know, when Russian annexed Crimea and invaded dun Vats 135 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, the Ukraines have been asking for military assistance. 136 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: We never gave them enough javelins. We didn't give them 137 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: enough Patriot anti missile weapons or the Harpoon anti ship missiles. 138 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: So those are things that Ukraine could use right now, 139 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: now it's too late and the enemy, Vladimir Putin is 140 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: at the gates of NATO. And if we don't demonstrate 141 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: that we have the strength that caniction to stand up 142 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: for our NATO members on the front lines, the Baltic States. 143 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: You and I have talked about this, Poland, Mania, Slovakia hungry. 144 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: If we don't demonstrate we could stand up for them, 145 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin's going to test us. We need to be 146 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: prepared for that possibility because his risk calculus has changed. 147 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: So if he does go after the Baltics and they're 148 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: members of NATO, at that point we're going to find 149 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: out whether NATO is a paper tiger or whether or 150 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: not NATO is willing to have a ground war, a 151 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: full on shooting war against Russia. That's what it's going 152 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: to come down to know. Well, the question is whether 153 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin believes that the United States, the US led alliance. 154 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: Does he believe that the United States has the capability 155 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: to leave NATO that you know, he may think is 156 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: in doubt after we left Afghanistan, the way we did 157 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: and the way we have not stood up as much 158 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: as we should for Russia's blatant invasion of Ukraine. Those 159 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: are things that impact Vladimir Putin's calculus for his next steps. 160 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: Kigress been you see that scenario on folding, Well, yeah, 161 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: if we don't the Article five provision is an attack. 162 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: I wanted an attack at all. And he invades they'd 163 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: say Lata, then that's like him invading Nebraska. So either 164 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: NATO exists or not. And one thing I did look 165 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: up shown which is interesting is twenty nine NATO countries, 166 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: only ten are spending two percent or more of their 167 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: GDP on defense, and they a green two thousand and 168 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: sixth if they all should hit that target at the minimum, 169 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: and nineteen of them haven't. Countries like Germany, Spain, Italy, 170 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: Canada haven't done that, and so whop's looking at that 171 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: as well in Germany because of the Nords from two, 172 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: he's probably got them in his hip pocket. So I 173 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: think we have to draw the line in the sand 174 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: at some point, because otherwise we have a choice if 175 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: he attacked the NATO country either leave Europe entirely, or 176 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: we have a hot war with Russia because his appetite 177 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: is clearly not satiated after as you said O fourteen 178 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: and now in the Ukraine and twenty two, Well, that 179 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: would be the line of demarcation that Joe Biden laid 180 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: out in his mumbling, bumbling, stumbling speech yesterday, Dan Hoffman, 181 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: and I think that's a big problem. I think that 182 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: one of the greatest assessments that Putin made was this 183 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: guy's not fully there, and that the United States does 184 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: not have the appetite to be engaged in any type 185 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: of military conflict. And now we have to think about 186 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: what is President She in China thinking. I think President 187 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: she said, though this is very different what Taiwan means 188 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: TuS Taiwan has always been a part of China, so 189 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: he's he's been telegraphing his territorial ambitions. Does that happen simultaneously, 190 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: Because if I was an evil if I had the 191 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: evil mind of a President Chi or Vladimir Putin, I 192 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: would think probably she is thinking this is the moment 193 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: to act, you know, he might Sewan. I think what 194 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: we're seeing right now, and it really gosh, it causes me. 195 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: The greatest concern is that Vladimir Putin is seeking to 196 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: impose a new world order. His world order, meaning that 197 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: only a few countries in the world enjoy real sovereignty. 198 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: That would be Russia, the United States, maybe in China, 199 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: for example, but everyone else is just going to have 200 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: to be part of Russia or China's sphere of influence. 201 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: If that means violating one country's territory integrity, they're gonna 202 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: do it. I'll tell you a quick story. I had 203 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: a conversation once with a Russian intelligence officer, and I 204 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: asked them, what is it about your neighbors. You know, 205 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: you guys have so many problems with your neighbors states. 206 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: He said, look, Dan, if you have a really nice 207 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: house and I have a crappy one, I'm just gonna 208 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: go burn years down. That's what Putin wants to do. 209 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: He wants the Baltic states, who are thriving democracies, economically 210 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: vibrant nations, for example, to live the way the Russians live, 211 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: where Putin denies his own citizens basic civil liberties. You 212 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: see all those protesters being taken away in Russia. That's 213 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: kind of the way Vladimir Putin wants everybody else to live. 214 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: Because if they don't live that way, then his regime 215 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: is under grave threat. And that's the risk we face 216 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: right now, Sean, when China doesn't believe that the United 217 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: States will stand up for what's right. I'm looking for 218 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: a Ronald Reagan moment here. When I was a kid 219 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: growing up, President Reagan had that capability and to deliver 220 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: on the strategy, whether it was tear down the wall, 221 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: mister Gorbachev or you know, the Soviet evil Empire, whatever 222 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: it was, he framed the challenge for our nation and 223 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: we stood behind him. Democrats and Republicans were not seeing 224 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: that right now. Yeah, I don't think we're seeing it, 225 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: and I don't think we're going to see it, I 226 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: would continue Congressman Pat Palin of Texas and Daniel Hoppin 227 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: as with US Fox News contributor thirty years CIA OPS officer. 228 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any appetite even among our European 229 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: allies to give up their addiction to Putin's energy and oil. 230 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, look, the most damning thing that that happened 231 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: yesterday is these new sanctions that were put in place. 232 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: But the sanctions biden an acknowledge. We're not designed to 233 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: disrupt Russia's energy exports once he said that, Congressman, it's 234 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: basically business as usual. He's made Russian and Putin rich again. 235 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: Are NATO allies by purchasing energy from Putin? They've made 236 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: Russian Putin rich again? So in many ways they're funding 237 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: there this battle against themselves. That is that a faulty analysis? No, 238 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: In fact, I'd like to say President Hannity, because if 239 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: we had President Nity, we wouldn't have these issues. No, 240 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: but it was word vomit? What what what Biden with 241 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: Danish day was word vomit? And Putin is a chess player. 242 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: He calculated this response instead of something strongly you said, 243 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: with teeth, denying him swift and insisting on that and 244 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: cutting off the energy. Because what this ultimately is, and 245 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: I think Dan would agree, this is an economic siege. 246 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: And who's gonna who's gonna win is the person that 247 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: blinks first. And Putin is sleeping at night. I think 248 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: he's got a solidate hours because he thinks it's gonna 249 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: be the West, because the West hasn't been projecting strength 250 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: and years. But interestingly enough, he didn't rattle his stab 251 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: at a Sean when President Trump was an office for 252 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: four years, because I really think he feared his strength. 253 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: My sources are pretty good on this, and I happen 254 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: to know, for example, there's a reason why when Trump 255 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: dealt with the Taliban, and I've had this confirmed publicly 256 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: in interviews with people that heard the calls with Taliban leader, 257 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: and the Taliban leader was told up front before we 258 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: have any discussion about any potential deal that we might make, 259 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: I want you to understand something. I will obliterate you 260 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: if you don't follow every dotteddy and cross tea. Do 261 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: you understand me? Trump would say over and over again. No, 262 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't think you're understanding me. I will obliterate you. 263 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: And in one particular call, Dan, you'll appreciate this, he says, 264 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: And I know exactly where you are at this moment, 265 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: and he told them where he was exactly now. I 266 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: would imagine that probably scared the crap out of him. 267 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: You get the last word, Well, listen, Sean, we're going 268 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: to war with the president and the administration we have, 269 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: and as a patriotic American, and I'd like to get 270 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: behind my administration and encourage them to do the right thing. 271 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: I think there's been a lot of very constructive criticism 272 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: out there right now about what this administration needs to 273 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: be doing differently. But I'll just tell you we kind 274 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: of run out of time. You know, Ukraine is going 275 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: to lose, and at the very best, I fear we're 276 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: looking at an insurgency and I'm not sure that this 277 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: administration has what it takes to support the Ukrainians, you know, 278 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: fight going forward from an insurgency. And that's I think 279 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: what I'm looking for, just to close on this one, 280 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: is congressional hearings, open hearings, open discussion with Secretary Defense, 281 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: Secretary of State, the d NI, What is the plan, 282 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: what is the strategy? Why are we not standing up 283 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: for democracy in Ukraine? And what are we going to 284 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: do about it? And there the ship is selled. This 285 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: war is over. It was over before it started. In 286 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: my opinion, it's the insurgency. I would like to see it. 287 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: I'd like to think that NATO and European nations would 288 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: defend themselves, but I don't see that happening unfortunately either. 289 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: But I appreciate you both being with us, Dan Hoffman 290 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: and Congressman Pat Fallon. Thank you eight hundred nine san 291 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: your calls were next. We'll continue. Be sure to check 292 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: in as soon as you get to your car after 293 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: work for breaking information you need to know about. This 294 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: is the Sean Hannity Show at twenty five downs to 295 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: the top of the hour eight hundred san on nob 296 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program m. 297 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: Let's get to our phones. Josh is in the great 298 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: state of Kentucky, the home of great bourbon. What's going on, Josh? 299 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: How are you? I'm doing great, mister Hannity, How are you, sir, 300 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm good. What's your favorite bourbon? H Well, it's always 301 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: the most expensive, right whatever. Listen, I personally I cannot 302 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: stand scotch or bourbon. And some of my best friends 303 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,479 Speaker 1: they just love it and they're like, no, you just 304 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: have to keep trying it until you develop a taste 305 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: for it. And I'm like, that's the problem. I can't 306 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,959 Speaker 1: get to that point. But anyway, I drowned my drinks 307 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: with you know, water and whatever juice I'm using them 308 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: of the day. Maybe we don't have to have a 309 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: taste for it. Maybe they just say, keep playing it 310 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: to get drunk and then you don't care. Then you 311 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't notice anyway, right, anyway, what's on your mind today? 312 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: All right? Well, first of all, such an honor to 313 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: be able to speak to you. I've watched your television show, 314 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: I've watched you on the television and uh, you know, 315 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: listen to you for for quite a long time. And uh, 316 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: it's really an honor to speak to you. But what 317 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you was, do you think honestly 318 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: that Putin would be doing what he's doing, trying what 319 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: he's Trump will not even trying doing what he's doing 320 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: if we had the Great President of Trump in office. No. 321 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 1: And I think the answer is obvious because we know 322 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: what he did in two thousand and eight in Georgia. 323 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: We know what he did with CRIMEA when he annexed 324 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: that when Biden was vice president, Obama was president, and 325 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: we see what's happening today. But there is a four 326 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: year interim period there where nothing happened. You know, if 327 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: you think back to the media's you know, breathless hysteria 328 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: over the Trump phone call, when Donald Trump knew all 329 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: these people were on this call, and then we had 330 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: the non whistle blower, hearsay whistle blower and no fact witnesses. 331 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: They only had one fact witness impeachment, and that one 332 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: fact witness said, now there was no quid or pro 333 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: a quo. And then you look at the media that 334 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: ignored the You're not getting a billion taxpayer dollars unless 335 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: you fire a prosecutor investigating my son making millions with 336 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: no experience. Look, Ukraine has its corruption problems, that's not it. 337 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: The answer to your question, very specifically, though, is no, 338 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: it would not have happened. And I'll tell you why. 339 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: I think the world feared Donald Trump. There was a 340 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: certain air of unpredictability because they study American presidents and 341 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: they also saw a pattern that if he said something, 342 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: he usually backed it up and delivered. If you look 343 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: at every promise he made leading into twenty sixteen in 344 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: that election, he kept every single one of those promises, 345 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: building the Wall, energy independence, lower taxes, less regulation, I'm 346 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: going to choose judges from this list. We're going to 347 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: have free and fair trade deals, piece through strength, I'm 348 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: gonna end going to get out of these endless wars, etc. Etc. 349 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: He kept every one of the promises, and so there's 350 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: a certain predictability coupled with an air of unpredictability. In 351 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: other words, Holy Adam Schiff. He's crazy enough that he'd 352 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: do it, and that crazy enough that he would do it. 353 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: Part I think is actually a good thing now that 354 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: to the medium caused them to melt down. Every day. 355 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: Oh my god, he sent out a mean tweet. Oh 356 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: my gosh, I can't believe he's saying these horrible things. Well, 357 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: at least we had a president that knew what day 358 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: of the week it was, and a president that actually 359 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 1: projected strength. And you know, we saw this tape this 360 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: week that I aired here and there he is in 361 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: the face of the head of NATO, just grilling this 362 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: guy over the stupidity of their policies, and that is 363 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: that we the United States, are being ripped off. We're 364 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: spending all of this money to protect all of our 365 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: NATO allies. We're paying the bulk of moneys and countries 366 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: that are in the direct path of Vladimir Putin. We're 367 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: doing this to protect your up from Putin, and yet 368 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: they're making Putin rich. Again, he goes, tell me how 369 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: that makes any sense? And then the guy would try 370 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: to answer, no, answer my question, how does that make 371 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: sense to you? Is that fair to the American taxpayer? 372 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: Because I'm here to represent them. That's the type of 373 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: president that I want. And you know, but I know, 374 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: and I may come with a few mean tweets, It 375 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: may come along with a you know, a few inappropriate remarks. Occasionally, 376 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: it may come along with a lot of drama of 377 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: the media hating him. But you know what, the world 378 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: understood and answers your question. I think anyway, Thank you, Josh, 379 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: God bless you. Let's stay in Kentucky. We have Stephanie 380 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: standing by Stephanie. How are you glad you called him? 381 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: I wanted to thank you for taking my call, my 382 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: real quick. My fifteen year old son Will wanted to 383 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: say hi. And he's a huge fan of her. So 384 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: he's fifteen. His name is Will. Put him on. No, 385 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: he's not on. He's actually at school. Oh he's he's 386 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: at school. I thought it sounded like he was right there. 387 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: You tell Will that, I said, always listen to mom 388 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: and dad, follow the Golden rule, find what he loves 389 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: to do and what he's good at, and find a 390 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: way to make money doing what you love to do 391 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: if you can, and always try to work for yourself. 392 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: This is what I tell my kids all the time. 393 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: Try and try and work for yourself and be your 394 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: own boss and put in the work and you get 395 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: the rewards. There you go, He's following in that footsteps 396 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: of our philosophy. Well, I'm not saying my kids listen 397 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: to me all the time. I mean, you know, they're like, Dad, 398 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: you already gave me the speech one hundred times, Dad, 399 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: Stop stop? All right, go ahead. Yeah. My question is 400 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: or a cup questions, how do the Democratic constituent steel 401 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: about guess prices, the economy afflication, and the current international 402 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: situation under Biden versus what they had under President's Trump's 403 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: policy delay. The answer is easy, that the base of 404 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: the Democrat Cratic Party five thirty eight. The website even 405 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: pointed it out is abandoning Joe Biden and demographically Hispanic Americans, 406 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: African Americans. They see that his policies aren't working independence, 407 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: he's at all time low numbers. There's not a single 408 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: item we can point to. And then they're going to 409 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: try and make a big deal over this appointment of 410 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: you know, a radical liberal replacing another radical liberal in 411 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court. Oh that's a success. Not really, 412 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: and so did they have I mean, so the question 413 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: is can we change the conversation and they have Fire's remorse, 414 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: and how's it? Can I affect the Mitchell I think 415 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: the polls are showing when you're at thirty three percent 416 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: approval rating and your own party's turning on you, I 417 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: would say that's Fire's remorse at the highest level. I've 418 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: never seen anything as bad as this. Here's the question, Stephanie. 419 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: You know Reagan asked it when he was running for reelection. 420 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: Are you better off than you are four years ago? 421 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: Here's the question. Now, can you name one thing that 422 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: Joe is done that's that that's made our lives better? 423 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: Because I can't upset? Maybe wiping out? Um, what was it? 424 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: A leader of like isis? Or you know, Okay, there 425 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: you go. I'll tip my hat to Joe. Joe Joe 426 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: done good, he did a good one. Good for him. 427 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: Or we'll go clop. Yeah, there was one leader. I 428 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: don't remember the specific leader, but there was a strike 429 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: probably at Littleton or nothing to do with it is. 430 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: My guests, remember this is the guy that voted no 431 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: to get Ben Lauden. Hang in there, Stephanie, Let not 432 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: your heart be trouble. Hopefully this year we begin the 433 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: process of turning this glacier around. I don't know how 434 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: we're going to do it, but it's it's very doable. 435 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: All the problems that we discuss every day, the economy, energy, borders, 436 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: you name it, all of them are easily solvable. Conservatism works. 437 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: You know what is conservatism on the border? Oh, stay 438 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: in Mexico, build the wall and enforce the laws of 439 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: the land. What is the conservative position on energy? Don't 440 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: rely on anybody for the lifeblood of our economy. Be 441 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: energy independent and a net exporter of energy. Where do 442 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: we stand on taxes? We want lower taxes. We want 443 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: less bureaucracy. We want law and order so people are 444 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: safe and secure, so they can pursue happiness and their 445 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: God given natural talent. We want choice in schools, and 446 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: we want free and fair trade and peace through strength 447 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: and constitutionalists on the bench. And we believe in liberty 448 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: and freedom in our constitution and capitalism. And we believe 449 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: in the First and Second Amendment. Also in case this 450 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: any ambiguity, all right, back to our busy phones. Let's 451 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: say hi to Roger in South Dakota. Roger, Um, your 452 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: governor is extremely popular. I can tell you when she's 453 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: on TV. A lot of people like the listener, Absolutely, 454 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: we love her. Yes, Um, I guess I was wanting 455 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: to reach a subject that's probably unspeakable and unthinkable. But 456 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: two days ago, I guess on Fox News night before last, 457 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: they were running a stream or something to the effect 458 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: that Putin had said that, you know, if anybody interferes 459 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: with him, he's going to do something that's never been 460 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: done before. Well, likes of which you've never seen before. Yeah, 461 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: and a lot of people interpreted that that I'll knuke you. Well, 462 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: I don't think it's sad. What do you think it 463 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: is similar? Either, it's a emp the technology for a 464 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: long time to the KNU area four miles above the 465 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: United States, and it kills all the power grid and Roger. 466 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: You could be right. But whatever it is, if he 467 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: wanted it to sound bad, he sent the message out, 468 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: and I have a message back for Putin. Whatever you 469 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: do to us, we'll do ten times to you. That's it. 470 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: You know, Look, if we're totally neutralized, and I understand 471 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: something like that would kill all the electronic chips and stuff, 472 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there's that would send us back into the 473 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: stone age, like in a five minute period. Listen, I 474 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: just don't waste my time anymore on social media. But 475 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: I had, Linda, you can confirm this for us, I 476 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: had a general rule that when I decided to engage 477 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: with somebody like a Jimmy Kimmel or an Alec Baldwin. 478 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: By the way, the husband of Helena Hutchins who blaming 479 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: blaming Alec Baldwin was a fascinating interview, but we're in 480 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: the middle of breaking news. We didn't cover it yet. 481 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: It wasn't my rule that if somebody hits me and 482 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: I decided to engage, what is my rule that I 483 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: hit him back how many times harder, ten times, ten 484 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: times harder. If they hit me and I'm going to engage, 485 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: and most of the time I would just let it 486 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: go because I just don't have time. I'm too busy working. 487 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm hitting them back ten times harder. I train every 488 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: single day, an hour and a half during the week 489 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: mixed martial arts, and if I get hit and somebody 490 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: attacks me, my training is I hit back ten times 491 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: harder and in ten different ways and in combinations that 492 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: most people would never imagine. And we practice it every day. 493 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: So but you know, the ideally I would run away 494 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: from a fight. You know, Linda, You've been in situations 495 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: where I'll say, I literally would say, I'm so sorry, 496 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: I let me back away. Can I buy you a drink? Apologize? 497 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: But please don't put me in a position where I 498 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: have to hurt you. And I try to avoid situations 499 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: that might trigger people. Anyway, we got a little in 500 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: the weeds there.
