Speaker 1: Well, we have come in.
Speaker 2: To your city. I wanta way I get those saying
Speaker 2: you a conscious cell. Will all be higher high til
Speaker 2: and if you want a little banging, a union and
Speaker 2: come along.
Speaker 3: But regime change is not the policy of the United States.
Speaker 3: It is not the purpose of this attack. Yet we
Speaker 3: refuse to accept a fascist America.
Speaker 4: You are the community to this president's chaos, and together
Speaker 4: we build a future of opportunity and justice for all.
Speaker 2: Trado is back in style. Welcome, we have coming to
Speaker 2: your city, going the way I get talis and saying
Speaker 2: you a conscious sill.
Speaker 3: The New Sean Hennity Show more I'm the Scene's information
Speaker 3: on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 5: Coming up next our final News round Up and Information
Speaker 5: Overload Hour.
Speaker 3: A news round Up Information Overload Hour. Our toll free
Speaker 3: number is eight hundred and ninety four one Sean. If
Speaker 3: you want to be a part of the program. If
Speaker 3: you're following Jerome Powell the Fed share in any way, shape,
Speaker 3: matter or form, it is clear he does not like
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. To me, it's gotten personal, especially on the
Speaker 3: issue of interest rates, because when you look at the
Speaker 3: economy and you know all of the doomsday predictions have
Speaker 3: fallen flat. And it's getting a little bit frustrating to
Speaker 3: me because with what he is now, his incredible reluctance
Speaker 3: and resistance to do any thing that would be wise
Speaker 3: and smart to help the economy, it just defies logic
Speaker 3: and common sense. Because every measure Trump is arguing that
Speaker 3: the Fed's key borrowing rate should be at least two
Speaker 3: percentage points lower. I agree with him, you know, and
Speaker 3: sure enough, predictably, Powell, you know, when you know, goes
Speaker 3: on and on repeating, regurgitating things that just never have
Speaker 3: come to viruition. And I don't blame the president for
Speaker 3: being unhappy, you know, And it is it just from
Speaker 3: a from a financial standpoint, from the economy standpoint. You know,
Speaker 3: if you look at Donald Trump, you know, every prediction
Speaker 3: they made about what tariffs would do to the economy
Speaker 3: and higher inflation, a massive unemployment, none of this has
Speaker 3: come true. None of it. The CPI measure of inflation,
Speaker 3: you know, is you know, for the twelve months ending,
Speaker 3: you know, we we're now at the lowest levels we've
Speaker 3: had in four years. Consumer confidence has never been high,
Speaker 3: the number of jobs available for Americans that's never been higher.
Speaker 3: And yet interest rates remain ridiculously high. And by the way,
Speaker 3: the one area of the economy that is hurting as
Speaker 3: a result of it is the home building industry. Because
Speaker 3: interest rates are so high, nobody's going to give up
Speaker 3: their three percent thirty year fixed rate mortgage to get
Speaker 3: a seven or seven and a half percent thirty year
Speaker 3: fixed rate mortgage. And you can't blame people if not
Speaker 3: wanting to do that, is what Powell said in his announcement.
Speaker 6: Changes to trade, immigration, fiscal and regulatory policies continue to evolve,
Speaker 6: and their effects on the economy remain uncertain. The effects
Speaker 6: of tariffs will depend, among other things, on their ultimate level.
Speaker 6: Expectations of that level, and thus of the related economic
Speaker 6: effects reached a peak in April and have since declined.
Speaker 6: Even so, increases in tariffs this year are likely to
Speaker 6: push up prices and weigh on economic activity. The effects
Speaker 6: on inflation could be short lived, reflecting a one time
Speaker 6: shift in the level. It's also possible that the inflationary
Speaker 6: effects could instead be more persistent. Avoiding that outcome will
Speaker 6: depend on the size of the tariff effects, on how
Speaker 6: long it takes for them to pass through fully into prices,
Speaker 6: and ultimately on keeping longer term inflation expectations well anchored.
Speaker 3: Hi joining us now to respond. Joe Lavornia is with
Speaker 3: US Treasury economist, and he's here to discuss Powell's inability
Speaker 3: to step outside of his own political bias and help
Speaker 3: the American people. He's also costing the country a fortune
Speaker 3: because we're paying the higher interest rates as well. What's
Speaker 3: your reaction to me, it's personal and political. Your thoughts, oh.
Speaker 1: Hi, Joan, thanks very much for having me as as
Speaker 1: counselor to Secretary Best and we don't want to weigh
Speaker 1: in on monetary policy, but you did raise a couple
Speaker 1: of very key points, and that is under President Trump, inflation,
Speaker 1: which is one of his primary goals on the campaign rallies,
Speaker 1: he has delivered in spades. Inflation, as you've correctly said,
Speaker 1: has come down white dramatically and is going to continue
Speaker 1: to drop in all likelihood because of what it should
Speaker 1: be imminent passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, which
Speaker 1: will help expand the supply side of the economy and
Speaker 1: continue to lift blue collar wages, which I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if you saw this shown, but the White House to
Speaker 1: put out earlier in the week, are growing at the
Speaker 1: fastest rate for an initial term. I'm assuming that I'm
Speaker 1: treating this a Trump term as basically a new term
Speaker 1: because of the gap in between. It's the fastest five
Speaker 1: month increase in real blue collar wages we've had on
Speaker 1: record in the day to go back sixty years. So
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good stuff there, and the President
Speaker 1: deserves credit for it, you know.
Speaker 3: But I'm having a hard time understanding, and it seems personal.
Speaker 3: If you look at the comments of Powell, the economy
Speaker 3: has been resilient, and part of that is our stance.
Speaker 3: So he's like he thinks he runs the economy, almost
Speaker 3: like he believes he's president. Now he'll be out in
Speaker 3: May of twenty six, and frankly, from my perspective, come Andy.
Speaker 3: It can't come soon enough. I think the frustrating thing
Speaker 3: is we have to wait that long and and maybe
Speaker 3: Scott Bessing, his name has been floated as a possible
Speaker 3: replacement the Treasury secretary. But somebody that understands the economy understands,
Speaker 3: you know, we we we had a target rate, for example,
Speaker 3: the inflation rate of two percent where to two point
Speaker 3: one percent, so we reached that target rate. Joe Biden
Speaker 3: brought that number up to nine point what four percent
Speaker 3: or five percent, so it definitely played. You know, raising
Speaker 3: interest rates temporarily had its place, but that time has
Speaker 3: come and gone, and frankly the President is just you know,
Speaker 3: apoplectic about it, and he stuck with this guy until
Speaker 3: May of next year.
Speaker 1: The you know, it's when you talk about inflation, and
Speaker 1: he was at a forty five year high under under
Speaker 1: President Biden. And the tariffs and how inflation has come down.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's remarkable how the the professional analytical community,
Speaker 1: the professional forecasters has gotten the inflation wrong. So what
Speaker 1: I can tell you is that and we've seen it
Speaker 1: how resilient the economy is, and how oftentimes people when
Speaker 1: they say certain things are going to happen, there's no
Speaker 1: question you have to have higher prices because of tariffs.
Speaker 1: And what we've seen, of course, is a terriff being
Speaker 1: absorbed in the margins of the foreign sellers, and it's
Speaker 1: happened as inflation's actually come down, which is which is
Speaker 1: very positive. Youth economy Sean, as you know, is extraordinarily resilient.
Speaker 1: And with the bill imminent passage of that, I we
Speaker 1: should be we should be talking about three percent growth.
Speaker 1: And I know you've talked here about the FED. But
Speaker 1: the other thing I want to mention though, is when
Speaker 1: people talk about deficits because of greasury.
Speaker 3: You know, we you did see the Atlanta Fed what
Speaker 3: a two week and a half, two weeks ago, you know,
Speaker 3: they have projected GDP growth of the second quarter. They
Speaker 3: were up to four point six percent. I'm not sure
Speaker 3: where it is today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's around, it's four maybe a little bit less.
Speaker 1: A bounces around. But here's the thing is, we talk
Speaker 1: about interest rates and debt and all these other things.
Speaker 1: You know, the Congresional Budget Office, I believe it's just
Speaker 1: much too pessimistic forecast. They're assuming the next ten years
Speaker 1: the economy grows under two percent. If we're going to
Speaker 1: start growing a three percent plus in the in the
Speaker 1: third and the second quarter, maybe more, and that is
Speaker 1: the new trajectory, which seems to me to be reasonable
Speaker 1: because under President Trump's first term, before COVID, we were
Speaker 1: growing at nearly three percent. Since then, productivity is accelerated.
Speaker 1: We have an II in AI spending boom that this
Speaker 1: bill coming through is going to lift CAPEX in an
Speaker 1: even more meaningful way. We're going to generate faster growth,
Speaker 1: which is give us faster revenues. And this is an
Speaker 1: important point because they see so much financial press. It
Speaker 1: just talks about these big, large deficits with no admission
Speaker 1: that the assum that the assumed growth rate is too pessimistic,
Speaker 1: and it's just sort of like the fear cells.
Speaker 3: We look, the Congressional Budget Office does not exactly have
Speaker 3: the best track record. You know, one thing that it
Speaker 3: seems nobody is factoring in is, for example, the Reagan
Speaker 3: tax cuts or or the Trump tax cuts. What happens,
Speaker 3: Revenues to the government increase, they don't decrease, and they
Speaker 3: always backer that in as a decrease. For example, in
Speaker 3: Reagan's term, revenues to the federal government doubled. He created
Speaker 3: twenty one million new jobs. At the time, it was
Speaker 3: the longest period of peacetime economic growth in history. The
Speaker 3: first three years prior to COVID. In the Trump years,
Speaker 3: the president created record low after record low unemployment for
Speaker 3: every demographic in the country, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans,
Speaker 3: women in the workplace, African American youth unemployment, gas prices
Speaker 3: never once during his first term ever got above three
Speaker 3: dollars an average per gallon. Gas prices are now down dramatically,
Speaker 3: small business optimism, consumer confidences up dramatically. We have low inflation.
Speaker 3: And the only thing that is that is showing signs
Speaker 3: of trouble is directly related to the Fed's interest rate policy,
Speaker 3: and that is home to And there's an easy explanation
Speaker 3: for that. Who's going to give up a Would you
Speaker 3: give up a three year, I'm sorry at thirty year
Speaker 3: mortgage to get into a new home at at you know,
Speaker 3: double the interest rate, you'd be doubling your payment. It's insane, right, No, So.
Speaker 1: Sure, now I understand your points, Sean, But you know,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Let's take ten year yields for a minute,
Speaker 1: because I spent most of my career has been in
Speaker 1: the private sector. And the good news, and kudos to
Speaker 1: Secretary Best and and that is the we've gotten interest rates.
Speaker 1: You know, interest rates. The market was very fearful right
Speaker 1: around the Liberation Day that and shortly thereafter the ten
Speaker 1: year yelds to move up to five percent. The good
Speaker 1: news is the economy is booming. Market rates are in
Speaker 1: the middle to maybe slightly below their recent range. As
Speaker 1: inflation comes down more, the inflation component of that long
Speaker 1: term interest rate will come down. And the good news
Speaker 1: is market interest rates can still fall with President trump
Speaker 1: policies and that will help homeowners and then hopefully over time,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see those other rates come down as well.
Speaker 3: Well. Once interest straights start coming down, it'll bring the
Speaker 3: real estate market back up and there'll be a lot
Speaker 3: of activity. But right now, people are going to hang
Speaker 3: on to their low interest rate mortgage that they locked
Speaker 3: in years ago. Is one of the things that we're
Speaker 3: not factoring in here, and that is Donald Trump his
Speaker 3: commitments because of his trade policies and the threat of tariffs,
Speaker 3: brought this in of over ten trillion dollars. We've never
Speaker 3: had commitments like that ever in our country's history before.
Speaker 3: And that's new manufacturing inside of America, and that includes
Speaker 3: things that are beneficial towards national security. That would be
Speaker 3: pharmaceuticals and semiconductor chips, but also you know, revitalizing automobile
Speaker 3: manufacturing in the country on top of you know, artificial
Speaker 3: intelligence and new technologies all of that. I mean, aren't
Speaker 3: they aren't all these industries going to be creating high
Speaker 3: paying career jobs for people well, well.
Speaker 1: That's it. It's that's what the President's policies are designed
Speaker 1: to do, is to bring back high value added manufacturing
Speaker 1: that pay very high wages. And as you were, giving
Speaker 1: a very accurate description of how things have been playing out.
Speaker 1: As the Treasury Secretary has said, national security and economic
Speaker 1: security are one and the same. They're very you know,
Speaker 1: they're interconnected. And you know, we talk about interest rates
Speaker 1: and getting interested needing you know, you know, people want
Speaker 1: to interest rates lower, which I understand, but the people
Speaker 1: should also know that the tariffs, which have not led
Speaker 1: to any inflation, also right now we're generating around two
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars at an annual rate, and that number
Speaker 1: may even be a lot higher. We're going to get
Speaker 1: a number. We don't have the full numbers for June,
Speaker 1: but the tariffs are bringing in a lot of revenue,
Speaker 1: which also ties into the notion that the president wants
Speaker 1: to rebalance trade, reindustrialize as you said, and of course
Speaker 1: those those foreign capital commitments are also quite substantial.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, quick freak, welcome back. More with Treasury economists.
Speaker 3: Joe Lavorgna is with us, and then we'll get to
Speaker 3: your calls coming up eight hundred and nine to four
Speaker 3: one Sean, if you want to be a part of
Speaker 3: the program, continue with Joe Lavorgno talking about the economy,
Speaker 3: and a very stubborn fed chair who will be replaced
Speaker 3: in May of next year, can come soon enough. As
Speaker 3: far as I'm concerned, what do you think Powell does
Speaker 3: from here on out? Is he just gonna, you know,
Speaker 3: be in this cold war with President Trump? And because
Speaker 3: President Trump obviously disagrees with him, you know he's going
Speaker 3: to show President Trump who's boss until May of next
Speaker 3: year before we can have any hope of, you know,
Speaker 3: significantly lower interest rates at a minimum. I think we
Speaker 3: needed a fifty basis point reduction yesterday. In my view.
Speaker 3: I think the economic numbers warrant that, and I think
Speaker 3: that would be just the start. I personally agree with
Speaker 3: the President. I think a one basis point reduction would
Speaker 3: be appropriate too, and I think it would have the
Speaker 3: added impact of jump starting the economy in ways that
Speaker 3: people aren't even imagining. And if there's one big beautiful
Speaker 3: bill comes in and manufacturing facilities. In other words, if
Speaker 3: you build a facility, I think it's one hundred percent
Speaker 3: you get a tax deduction in year one I mean
Speaker 3: that that's going to incentivize everybody to build immediately.
Speaker 1: They're not going to wait, yeah, no, that's right. Well, yes,
Speaker 1: it's You're exactly right on. It's one hundred percent expensing
Speaker 1: a plant and equipment in addition to factories which we
Speaker 1: even had before. That'll be very very supply side constructive,
Speaker 1: meaning it's not going to cause inflation, actually bring inflation
Speaker 1: down as the economy accelerates, which is what we saw,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned earlier, under Reagan implicitly and also under
Speaker 1: President Trump's first term, where we had effectively three percent
Speaker 1: growth prior to the pandemic and inflation was two percent
Speaker 1: or less. Look long term, that all support certainly low
Speaker 1: interest rates, no question, broadly speaking, and you know I'm
Speaker 1: an optimist, so I do expect the housing market to
Speaker 1: recover over time, that affordability won't remain depressed. The income numbers,
Speaker 1: the blue collar boom we've highlighted is certainly very positive.
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of good things going on,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to be hopeful Seawan that.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the added supply and the higher interest
Speaker 3: rates and lack of activities is making home buying more
Speaker 3: affordable for people maybe that's certainly good. But if you
Speaker 3: really want to stimulate the home buyer market, the single
Speaker 3: best thing you can do is you got to you
Speaker 3: got to get these interest rates now, because they're too
Speaker 3: high and people simply cannot afford to pay two thousand
Speaker 3: dollars more for a monthly mortgage payment just because Jerome
Speaker 3: Powell has an agenda and he doesn't like Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: which is where I feel we're at here. It's to
Speaker 3: me it's gotten personal. Am I wrong on that part?
Speaker 1: Sure? I can't comment on that. I mean, I I'd
Speaker 1: rather not say. I mean, I understand your point, but well.
Speaker 3: I'd rather not say. Is it of a strong possibility?
Speaker 1: Well, here's what I would say again, I would say that.
Speaker 3: It seems per personal to me.
Speaker 1: Well, the I've not talked to the President or cheer
Speaker 1: Power on that, but it seems to me though that
Speaker 1: what we have right now is an environment where we've
Speaker 1: got very good growth, inflation's coming down, that by itself
Speaker 1: will pull long term interest rates down. You know, when
Speaker 1: we talk about housing affordability, the income part is very powerful,
Speaker 1: and that's something the President has directly all over, and
Speaker 1: that's looking good home prices in some places have moderated,
Speaker 1: but I do expect over Timeshewan, that you will see
Speaker 1: affordability pick up, because you'll see market based rates come down.
Speaker 3: And you know we need I got to run, but
Speaker 3: we need interest rates now. But Joe, I appreciate you
Speaker 3: being here. I really do, my friend, God bless you,
Speaker 3: and American people need some relief with this. You are
Speaker 3: listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show, and
Speaker 3: stay tuned more memorable moments, interesting guests, and a lot
Speaker 3: of fun coming up next twenty five Dons to the
Speaker 3: top of the Hour, Punchline and Patriots that is a
Speaker 3: week from this Saturday. And that's in Clearwater and Tampa.
Speaker 3: That is at Ruth deckerd Hall. Tickets very limited seats left.
Speaker 3: Same with Fort Lauderdale. That's the twenty ninth day after.
Speaker 3: If you're interested, we'd love to have you. It's going
Speaker 3: to be ir reverend crazy, fun and absolutely politically incorrect.
Speaker 3: That much I can tell you now. We have gone
Speaker 3: over the numbers. They are overwhelming, and that is you know,
Speaker 3: if you look at even vague news CNN, you got
Speaker 3: seventy nine percent of Democrats, seventy nine percent of Independence,
Speaker 3: eighty three percent of Republicans, seventy nine percent of all
Speaker 3: adults are saying the same thing, and that is they
Speaker 3: oppose Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. I think the definitive poll
Speaker 3: by Robert Kahelli of Trafalgar and an Insider Advantage head
Speaker 3: Matt Towery. They did a joint poll and the question
Speaker 3: was very pointed, what is your opinion of President Trump's
Speaker 3: position that Iran must be prevented from develop a developing
Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon by any means necessary. Seventy four point
Speaker 3: four percent said that they approve and agree with that.
Speaker 3: And we can go on to the Havid Harris poll
Speaker 3: eighty five percent. Yeah, Tehran must never ever get the bomb. Now,
Speaker 3: Israel has taken out two of the three sites, there's
Speaker 3: one site remaining, and it seems that that site, the
Speaker 3: Bordeaux site that we keep talking about, would need American
Speaker 3: assistance to make this happen, and hence the decision that
Speaker 3: the President will have to make. And I have every
Speaker 3: confidence that the President understands he's been saying since twenty
Speaker 3: eleven that Iran could not have a nuclear weapon. One
Speaker 3: of the more bizarre conversations to arise out of this
Speaker 3: is against maga. Donald Trump is against forever wars, You're right,
Speaker 3: so am I I'm against forever wars, and with military technology,
Speaker 3: I don't think they're ever going to be fought the
Speaker 3: same way again. But it's the same Donald Trump that
Speaker 3: took out Solomani on the tarmac and that was you know,
Speaker 3: that was done, and all the predictions of doom and
Speaker 3: gloom and retribution. Any military effort has risk associated with it,
Speaker 3: But then you have to factor in the risk of
Speaker 3: a nuclear armed Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror,
Speaker 3: that has fired hundreds of thousands of missiles. They're firing
Speaker 3: them right now into Jerusalem as we speak. They've been
Speaker 3: firing him to heavily civilian areas, populated civilian areas like
Speaker 3: Tel Aviv, and they have sworn to wipe Israel off
Speaker 3: the map in the United States, off the map. They
Speaker 3: have made these threats repeatedly. But it's also the same
Speaker 3: Donald Trump that wiped out the Caliphate, the same Donald
Speaker 3: Trump that took out Bagdaddy and associates. I'm not sure
Speaker 3: how Some are saying that the mag of movement is
Speaker 3: an isolationist movement, which means no involvement at all it's not.
Speaker 3: It is no way contradictory to say that this one
Speaker 3: remaining site needs to be taken out. And if it's
Speaker 3: the United States at a time when their air defense
Speaker 3: systems are down, it's the safest it's ever gonna be.
Speaker 3: But there's always risk with any military operation. And take
Speaker 3: it out and forever end the threat of iranium Mullah's
Speaker 3: married to their sick converter die ideology, and forever remove
Speaker 3: that threat of a modern day holocaust. To me, is basic,
Speaker 3: simple common sense. Yeah, that also would be part of
Speaker 3: the Trump doctrine, and Donald Trump is it's not inconsistent
Speaker 3: if you take out those sites the way you took
Speaker 3: out Solo Mony Bagdaddy and associates, and also the Isis
Speaker 3: Caliphate and not have a forever war. Nobody wants that.
Speaker 3: I definitely don't anyway. Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina is
Speaker 3: with a senator, how are you good?
Speaker 5: Thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 3: Let's get your take on all of this. To me,
Speaker 3: it's a window of opportunity. Their air defenses are down.
Speaker 3: The President has been clear what his policy is. They
Speaker 3: can't have a nuclear weapon. He's been saying it since
Speaker 3: twenty eleven and hundreds of times since, it seems like
Speaker 3: the moment is here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the forever war is started in nineteen seventy nine
Speaker 5: when the Ayatoa replaced the Shaw, they held our embassy
Speaker 5: personnel hostage. Since nineteen seventy nine, Iran has been waging
Speaker 5: war through Moses Blah and the Hoodies against Israel. They
Speaker 5: have American blood on their hands. So that's the war
Speaker 5: I'd like to end. And if you don't believe Iran
Speaker 5: would use a nuclear weapon to destroy Israel, you're not
Speaker 5: listening to what they're saying. If you don't believe they
Speaker 5: would use a nuclear weapon to come after us to
Speaker 5: infidel you're not listening to what they say. Hey, November
Speaker 5: fourth and Iran is commonly referred to as Death to
Speaker 5: America Day. In nineteen eighty seven, they made it a holiday.
Speaker 5: That was the day they took over our embassy. We
Speaker 5: have a military for a reason, to protect our way
Speaker 5: of life, protect our homeland, and protect our allies. You know,
Speaker 5: when my dad was drafted World War two, the term
Speaker 5: was called the duration We're going to fight and we
Speaker 5: beat the Nazis, took Berlin and took Tokyo, and we
Speaker 5: did in this war. We're not going to have ground
Speaker 5: troops and it won't last forever because we have the
Speaker 5: capability to destroy the Iranian nuclear program working with Israel
Speaker 5: fairly quickly. We're down to one site deep underground, about
Speaker 5: a half a mile under the ground. We have technology
Speaker 5: and bombs and capability.
Speaker 1: Israel doesn't.
Speaker 5: It is my advice to President Trump, help Israel finish
Speaker 5: the job. Go all in to destroy the last nuclear site.
Speaker 5: If we take this program on and we don't finish it,
Speaker 5: it will be a disaster. Still I's finished the job.
Speaker 3: I agree with you, and I actually think that the
Speaker 3: Israelis have done a spectacular job on their own. Now
Speaker 3: we have to factor in that Iran and Iran through
Speaker 3: their proxies. And I've been tot Israel a number of
Speaker 3: times as you have been there, many many times, many
Speaker 3: many times more than me. I mean, I went to
Speaker 3: one border town with Gaza at the time, and I
Speaker 3: think twenty fifteen had been hit with ten thousand rockets.
Speaker 3: In ten years. They have withstood Huti rebel rockets, his
Speaker 3: Bola rockets, Islamic Jihad rockets, Hamas rockets, Kuds forces, Iranian
Speaker 3: Revolutionary Guards forces, helped develop the October seventh attack against Israel.
Speaker 3: They provided the weaponry for that. They've been fomenting terror,
Speaker 3: not just in the region, but around the world. There's
Speaker 3: not a single country that wants to come to Iran's defense,
Speaker 3: and we now find ourselves with a window of opportunity
Speaker 3: to forever remove any possibility they'd have this weapon of
Speaker 3: mass destruction married to their ideology. Now, how is that
Speaker 3: any different than taking out Solomani by Dadian associates or
Speaker 3: beating the Caliphate. I don't see that as inconsistent at all.
Speaker 5: Well, I think, yeah, you're dead right. The primary job
Speaker 5: of beating Commander in chief President the United States is
Speaker 5: to protect us our homeland from existential threats and to
Speaker 5: protect our allies, and we have no better allies than
Speaker 5: the state of disrals. Iran has nine hundred pounds of
Speaker 5: highly enriched uranium that could make about a dozen bombs
Speaker 5: if they went to the last mile. They're at sixty percent.
Speaker 5: To get to ninety percent is weeks, not years. They
Speaker 5: have one Savinan reactor. They haven't used any of the
Speaker 5: enriched uranium to run that reactor. They get their fuel
Speaker 5: from Russia. So this is weapon grade material and large quantity.
Speaker 5: They've been doing this for decades, and their goal is
Speaker 5: to develop a nuclear weapons force to use as part
Speaker 5: of their ideology. I don't think Rocketman's going to attack America.
Speaker 5: I don't believe Putin's ambition is to destroy Israel, destroy
Speaker 5: the United States, nor I believe that about China. I
Speaker 5: think they're mercantile. I think they're an adversary. But I
Speaker 5: believe this regime is founded on a religious ideology that
Speaker 5: makes them religious Nazis. They're being told by their version
Speaker 5: of Islam to destroy the Jewish state, to drive out
Speaker 5: the infidels, and to purify Islam. They're not elected. It's
Speaker 5: a theocracy. They mean what they say. Four presidents have
Speaker 5: said Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1: It will be Donald J.
Speaker 5: Trump who makes that a reality period. All we need
Speaker 5: to do is help Israel finish the last site and
Speaker 5: wait and see what happens after that.
Speaker 3: Is that in your mind, and obviously protecting our interests
Speaker 3: in the region, Is that basically the job that you
Speaker 3: want President Trump to accomplish. For example, there are other targets.
Speaker 3: I mean, most of their refineries are on this one island,
Speaker 3: and you can wipe out any ability of them in
Speaker 3: the future to make money. The Israelis could do that
Speaker 3: on their own. They don't need our help or assistance
Speaker 3: for that. Certainly they can knock out their gas power
Speaker 3: grid and the entire country will be without power. That's
Speaker 3: another easy target because the Israelis own the sky over Iran.
Speaker 3: So you know, once the nuclear component is out of
Speaker 3: the way, I guess at that point it's going to
Speaker 3: be up to Israel what they decide to do in
Speaker 3: their conflict with Iran. And frankly, with all the weapons
Speaker 3: they've fired into Israel, I wouldn't I wouldn't put it
Speaker 3: past them to take.
Speaker 1: It all out.
Speaker 5: Well, so here's the question for Israel and really the world.
Speaker 5: We can destroy their infrastructure to enrich uranium. There's one
Speaker 5: site left, but as long as the regime is in power,
Speaker 5: they'll rebuild it over time, and President Trump is not
Speaker 5: going to be present forever. So the question for the world.
Speaker 5: The largest state sponsor of terrorism is Iran. Under US law,
Speaker 5: they have a policy to decimate Israel and to reshape
Speaker 5: the entire path in a way to exclude US. Convert
Speaker 5: or die is their ideology, wouldn't it be great for
Speaker 5: the people of Iran and the world if this regime
Speaker 5: went away, and people say, well, what will come next,
Speaker 5: Here's what I'm going to tell you. The guy in
Speaker 5: charge wants to kill all the Jews. He wants to
Speaker 5: kill us. They beat a young girl of death on
Speaker 5: a bus in Iran because she didn't cover her head.
Speaker 5: I'm willing to risk it won't be any worse than
Speaker 5: that guy. So the bottom line is I hope and
Speaker 5: pray that the Iranian people will know freedom. It will
Speaker 5: be up to them to take the rear down. But
Speaker 5: Israel will not tolerate living this way anymore. The Jews
Speaker 5: and Israel are oppressed by everybody around them. They have
Speaker 5: lived in fear, they have lived in an oppressive environment
Speaker 5: since this founding. October the seventh, children were murdered, women
Speaker 5: are raped in front of their children. They've had it,
Speaker 5: they should have it. I am tired of living this way.
Speaker 5: To our friends in Israel, do what you have to
Speaker 5: do to be safe, and they're making us safer. The
Speaker 5: people they're fighting want to kill us two and to
Speaker 5: all these people sitting in the sands. Second guests in Trump,
Speaker 5: you have no idea what you're talking about you wouldn't
Speaker 5: know the differman of Sunni and Ashia than anything. So
Speaker 5: this is a religious deocracy. They're fanatics. They're dedicated to
Speaker 5: killing all the Jews and coming after us. They meant
Speaker 5: it when they say Israel, death of America. So I'm
Speaker 5: hoping in praying we take their nuclear program down. Israel
Speaker 5: wants to take the regime's ability to wage war down
Speaker 5: by destroying their refineries, destroying their ability to wage war.
Speaker 3: So be it well at that point, if the United States,
Speaker 3: in a joint military operation, helps take out this final
Speaker 3: nuclear facility, then it really comes down to the Israelis
Speaker 3: and how far they want to go. I don't think
Speaker 3: President Trump has not expressed any desire for regime change,
Speaker 3: even identified that they know where the Supreme Leader is,
Speaker 3: but they're not going to kill him. But he did say,
Speaker 3: and he has said consistently for now decades, that they
Speaker 3: can't have a nuclear weapon and that would be in
Speaker 3: the best interests of the United States. And at that
Speaker 3: point the Israelis, I mean, after all that Iran has
Speaker 3: done to murder and rape, and you're right on October seventh,
Speaker 3: but it's an ongoing, never ending you know, missile barrage
Speaker 3: funded by Iran and their proxies.
Speaker 5: Well, so President Trump has told the I told you
Speaker 5: attack American bases or interest, that will be the end
Speaker 5: of view. That will be regime change. If they come
Speaker 5: after our forces in the region, that will be the
Speaker 5: end of the Iahtolas. But put yourself in israel shoes
Speaker 5: for a moment. What is the right response when people
Speaker 5: lob rockets consistently at Savillean populations, They raide your country,
Speaker 5: They murder, rape children, women, they have people hostage. What
Speaker 5: would we do if one country, if a country sent
Speaker 5: one rocket in to America, Well.
Speaker 3: I have to go one rocket. I've been making the
Speaker 3: same argument. We would demand immediate military auction center. O.
Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham, appreciate you being with us. It's going to
Speaker 3: be an interesting week ahead, There's no doubt about it.
