Speaker 1: An hour two Sean Hannity Show told free it's eight
Speaker 1: hundred and nine foot one Shawn. If you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program, we have gone over
Speaker 1: in great specificity, great detail, what President Trump has been
Speaker 1: able to do with Israel in terms of devastating Iran
Speaker 1: and I just I honestly, I go back to where
Speaker 1: I've been for a long time, is if Donald Trump
Speaker 1: cured cancer, the left in this country would would be critical,
Speaker 1: He'd have his critics. They'd be never ending, non stop.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Now, the president over the weekend, you know, he was very,
Speaker 1: very strategic in hitting carg Island, all the military targets
Speaker 1: except for their oil infrastructure, which by the way, proves
Speaker 1: to the Iranians he can wipe them out in terms
Speaker 1: of their economy in a matter of minutes, and they
Speaker 1: can destroy the oil within five minutes if they want.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to do it. The President wanted a
Speaker 1: deal unless you're, you know, a conspiracy theorist that doesn't
Speaker 1: want to believe Steve Whitdkoff who sat there with the
Speaker 1: Iranians and they insisted that they had an inalienable right
Speaker 1: to have nuclear weapons and bragging about how they were
Speaker 1: you know, had four hundred and sixty kilograms of sixty
Speaker 1: percent enriched uranium, which in seven to ten days would
Speaker 1: be weapons grade ninety percent. I'm not going to spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time on this show arguing with people
Speaker 1: that have learned nothing from history and are just ignorant
Speaker 1: and just absolutely you know, married to either an ideology
Speaker 1: or just stupid. I mean, it's really that simple. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to argue it's stupid anyway. So this is
Speaker 1: the President describing how everything on Cargo Island was destroyed
Speaker 1: except for the oil.
Speaker 3: As you know, we attacked Cargo Island and knocked it,
Speaker 3: knocked it literally destroyed everything in the island except for
Speaker 3: the area where the oil is. I call it the pipes.
Speaker 2: We left the pipes.
Speaker 3: We didn't want to do that, but that we will
Speaker 3: do that. We can do that on five minutes notice,
Speaker 3: it'll be over. But for purposes of someday rebuilding that country.
Speaker 3: I guess we did the right thing. But it's uh,
Speaker 3: it may not stay that way. Just one simple word
Speaker 3: and the pipes will be gone too, but it'll take
Speaker 3: a long time to rebuild that.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The President also it's not just the United States as
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, the United this country now being
Speaker 1: energy independent, we could survive one hundred percent on our
Speaker 1: own with the lifeblood of the world's economy, which is
Speaker 1: why energy has been so critical. Going back years ago
Speaker 1: on the show Grill Here, Drill Now, Save Money, New
Speaker 1: Gingrich started that, and we we champion that with him
Speaker 1: for a long long time on this program. When when
Speaker 1: things started in his first term to go really, really well,
Speaker 1: we started connecting many of you out in this audience
Speaker 1: with companies that were offering high paying career jobs. I
Speaker 1: mean like one hundred thousand dollars to train you and
Speaker 1: all the overtime you can take and a place to live.
Speaker 1: It was insane, and there were plenty of jobs available,
Speaker 1: and people would call us and tell me that their
Speaker 1: lives would transform because of these high paying career jobs.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna now put all of them online again.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the President rightly is pointing out that it's
Speaker 1: not just the United States that needs the straight of
Speaker 1: Horror moves open. It's it's all of the rest of
Speaker 1: the world. And now he's saying to you know, uh,
Speaker 1: Western Europe in particular and other countries, no, you help
Speaker 1: protect the straight of horn moves.
Speaker 2: Here's what he said.
Speaker 4: We are talking to other countries about working do this
Speaker 4: for the policing the straight and I think we're getting
Speaker 4: good response and we do that straight and we know
Speaker 4: that's good. Remember as an example of many cases that
Speaker 4: NATO countries, we're always there for NATO. We're helping them
Speaker 4: with a great it's got a.
Speaker 2: Notion have been within us.
Speaker 4: Does it affect us if we've helped them? It'd be
Speaker 4: interesting to see what country wouldn't help us with a
Speaker 4: very small endeavor, which is just keeping the straight up
Speaker 4: and why aren't we maintaining harbor straight?
Speaker 5: But I's trow you there for China and many other countries,
Speaker 5: why aren't they doing it? And that's because we had
Speaker 5: week leadership, to be honest with you, But I'm bringing
Speaker 5: it up down because I think even long term, I
Speaker 5: think it's something that by the countries should help us
Speaker 5: with something that we don't need and these countries learning
Speaker 5: and yet for years it's like for years we've been
Speaker 5: maintaining and.
Speaker 6: Doing a great job.
Speaker 5: And now that the war is, now that.
Speaker 4: They've been adminished in terms of military there military has
Speaker 4: been greatly diminishing. I think it's a good for other
Speaker 4: countries to come in. I were really up commanding that
Speaker 4: these countries come in and protect their old territory because
Speaker 4: you their journor, it's the place from which they get
Speaker 4: their energy, and they should come and they should help us.
Speaker 1: Now, the other story that we are monitoring and watching
Speaker 1: is the president with Cuba. Now, the anti Castro Cubans
Speaker 1: tried to actually burn down their local Communist party headquarters
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I would tell you any day this
Speaker 1: week if Cuba fell, it would not shock me.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: The President is obviously dialed into what's going on in
Speaker 1: this conflict with Iran and wants to get this wrapped
Speaker 1: up as soon as possible. I don't know if if
Speaker 1: if this four hundred and sixty kilograms becomes an issue
Speaker 1: of a risk of getting into the wrong hands, and
Speaker 1: at that point it gets a little bit more complicated
Speaker 1: keeping the Strait of Hormoso open as complicated watching internally
Speaker 1: because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris allowed all these unvetted,
Speaker 1: you know, illegals into the country, including known terrorists from
Speaker 1: you know, over to their countries, including countries with terroritize
Speaker 1: that's a big worry, big concern for everybody, but we're
Speaker 1: getting there anyway. Ambassador Nathan Sales is with us. He
Speaker 1: was in the first Trump administration Ambassador at Large for
Speaker 1: counter Terrorism and by the way, acting Secretary of State.
Speaker 1: He played a massive role in the maximum pressure campaign
Speaker 1: against the Iranian regime and its terror proxies, and in
Speaker 1: twenty two was sanctioned by Iran. Today he talks to
Speaker 1: us about Iran, carg Island, and Cuba. Ambassador, First, your
Speaker 1: thoughts on Cuba before we get into the whole Iranian
Speaker 1: situation where we are just a little over two weeks
Speaker 1: into this.
Speaker 7: Well, Shan, thanks for having me. Things are looking better
Speaker 7: for the freedom loving people of Cuba and pro democracy
Speaker 7: elements in Cuba today than they have in recent memory.
Speaker 7: That's not to say that the communist dictatorship is going
Speaker 7: to collapse inevitably. Nothing is inevitable in geopolitics. But the
Speaker 7: regime is weak and its needs a little bit of
Speaker 7: a push, and maybe the long suffering people of Cuba
Speaker 7: will find liberation at hand. What's that push look like,
Speaker 7: who knows. It's impossible to predict, but the pressure that
Speaker 7: this administration has been putting on the Cuban economy. And actually,
Speaker 7: let's take a step back. Cuba has been putting pressure
Speaker 7: on its own economy for the past two generations because
Speaker 7: that's what communism does. It destroys markets, it destroys innovation,
Speaker 7: it destroys risk taking in the private sector. So Cuba's
Speaker 7: economy is weak and going to fail even without help
Speaker 7: from the United States. But what this administration has been
Speaker 7: doing is cutting off the economic lifeblood from other countries,
Speaker 7: and that's oil Venezuela, and oil is no longer flowing
Speaker 7: to Cuba, and the administration has clearly messaged to other
Speaker 7: countries you're going to be facing American repercussions if you
Speaker 7: continue to subsidize the Cuban regime with free or heavily
Speaker 7: discounted oil. So I think the pieces are now in
Speaker 7: place for maybe finally some change in Havana.
Speaker 2: What do you think that looks like?
Speaker 1: Because I can imagine if in fact, the Cuban people
Speaker 1: are free, I could see a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: make Cuba make a great again flags and this will
Speaker 1: be a liberation long in the making, because they, like
Speaker 1: the people in Venezuela, have been suffering in poverty when
Speaker 1: both nations can be extraordinarily wealthy. I mean, the geography
Speaker 1: of Cuba, with all of its waterfront and ocean front property,
Speaker 1: is just spectacular. I could see immediately American investment and
Speaker 1: worldwide investment in building out resort after resort after resort,
Speaker 1: and property values soaring, and also the quality of life
Speaker 1: of the Cuban people going through the roof in ways
Speaker 1: that they never dreamed of, you know, a year ago.
Speaker 7: I think that's right. And Cuba has a number of
Speaker 7: extraordinary resources that would position it to become an economic powerhouse.
Speaker 7: And you mentioned the landscape and the geography. I think
Speaker 7: the most important resource Cuba has is human people. The
Speaker 7: intellectual capital of the Cuban people, much of which is
Speaker 7: now residing in the United States. The entrepreneurs, the innovators,
Speaker 7: the risk takers. They don't want to live under communism,
Speaker 7: and they got out and a lot of them came
Speaker 7: to Florida, a lot of them came to Miami. Imagine
Speaker 7: what Cuba would look like ten years from now with
Speaker 7: those entrepreneurs, unleashed by democracy and freedom to invest in
Speaker 7: their homeland and turn it into something extraordinary. You don't
Speaker 7: need a heavy handed government bureaucrat to dictate outcomes. They're
Speaker 7: all you need is freedom and the resources and innovative
Speaker 7: capabilities of the Cuban American diaspora, and great things would happen.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on to Iran and carg Island
Speaker 1: and in the Northern Persian Gulf. It's about thirty four
Speaker 1: miles northwest of the mainland. The island service as a
Speaker 1: terminal for nearly all of Iran's oil exporting and they
Speaker 1: have a loading capacity of about seven million barrels. I
Speaker 1: think the President rightly and cleverly hit the military targets
Speaker 1: on the island, but did ignore the oil infrastructure, but
Speaker 1: he made it very clear that that would be an
Speaker 1: easy target. How important is this strategically and does it
Speaker 1: in any way you think impact whoever is in charge
Speaker 1: of Iran they're thinking in terms of stopping the free
Speaker 1: flow of oil through the straight of Horror moves?
Speaker 7: Well, I think it's very important, and it's a direct
Speaker 7: response to the play that we've been seeing from the
Speaker 7: Iranian regime over the past week and a half, and
Speaker 7: that is to hold the world's energy markets hostage by
Speaker 7: shutting down shipping in the straits of Horror moves. I
Speaker 7: think it's twenty million barrels a day transit the Strait,
Speaker 7: which is a substantial percentage of the world's supply, and
Speaker 7: that's really been cut to a trickle because of Iranian
Speaker 7: attacks on civilian shipping. And that shouldn't come as a
Speaker 7: surprise that Iran would attacks civilians. That's what terror regimes do.
Speaker 7: That's why I ran as the world's worst state sponsor
Speaker 7: of terrorism. So the ad ministry's response is to say, well,
Speaker 7: we can take a hostage too, and that strike on
Speaker 7: Friday after the markets were closed, By the way, that
Speaker 7: strike on Friday evening sent a very clear message we
Speaker 7: have the capability to creator your economy. We're not doing
Speaker 7: it because that's not the outcome we want. We don't
Speaker 7: want death and destruction beyond what is necessary to achieve
Speaker 7: our military and political objectives. But that should have sent
Speaker 7: an extremely clear message to the Ayatola as a supreme leader,
Speaker 7: if he's even conscious right now, that we're not messing around.
Speaker 7: And so hopefully the market will respond to this, and
Speaker 7: hopefully the Iranian regime will start to back off of
Speaker 7: the campaign of terror that has been waging against ships
Speaker 7: for the past ten days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's very very critical. I quick break
Speaker 1: more with Ambassador Nathan Sales. He served in the first
Speaker 1: Trump administration as Ambassador at Large for counter Terrorism and
Speaker 1: acting under Secretary of State. More with him on the
Speaker 1: other side than your calls coming up this Monday, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one, Sean. If you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program, the.
Speaker 8: Radio show, the mainstream media love State, this is the
Speaker 8: Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: All right, we continue Ambassador Nathan Sales's with us now.
Speaker 1: He served in the first Trump administration as Ambassador at
Speaker 1: Large for counter Terrorism, acting under Secretary of State. As
Speaker 1: we analyze what is happening in Iran and Cuba on
Speaker 1: the verge of collapsing. I've never in my lifetime and
Speaker 1: I'm not a big supporter of war.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 1: And however, after I interviewed Steve Wikoff, I realized what
Speaker 1: the President realized and what he had to factor in,
Speaker 1: and that is they were seven to ten days away
Speaker 1: from being able to enrich uranium to weapons grade in
Speaker 1: that short period of time. And that's when Steve Wikoff
Speaker 1: publicly said, and that's when I kind of got the
Speaker 1: impression this was going to be a go because the
Speaker 1: President had been amassing a huge military presence in the region.
Speaker 1: Is once they were hell bent on getting nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1: I'd believe that, you know, unfortunately for President Trump in
Speaker 1: this sense, but fortunately for.
Speaker 2: We, the American people.
Speaker 1: It's you know, how do you ever calculate how many
Speaker 1: lives likely down the road are saved because he prevented
Speaker 1: a nuclear arm torn With all my heart, I believe
Speaker 1: in my soul that if they got this weapon, they
Speaker 1: would use it, but you're never going to be able
Speaker 1: to quantify that. But I don't think he had any
Speaker 1: short in this matter. And I just think the media
Speaker 1: has been brutally abusively corrupt, bias and unfair, and people
Speaker 1: with their agendas nauseate me.
Speaker 9: Well, that's the.
Speaker 7: Nightmare scenario that Iran, the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism,
Speaker 7: gets the world's deadliest weapon and they would use it.
Speaker 7: That doesn't necessarily mean they would use it to detonate
Speaker 7: a bomb over Tel Aviv, but they could use it
Speaker 7: in other ways. They could use it to threaten the
Speaker 7: United States and threaten Israel and threaten our allies in
Speaker 7: the region. They could use it to cause the mere
Speaker 7: existence of it to sow confusion and chaos and doubt
Speaker 7: about the strength of the American security commitment to our
Speaker 7: allies in Europe. So no question, Iran cannot have a weapon.
Speaker 7: And the fact that the regime was doubling down on
Speaker 7: enrichment tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.
Speaker 7: They're not enriching uranium because they want nuclear power. They're
Speaker 7: enriching it because they want to preserve a pathway to
Speaker 7: a bomb. It's obvious, and at a certain point you
Speaker 7: have to say, all right, negotiations are our first option,
Speaker 7: and we would like to negotiate a peaceful end of
Speaker 7: this program. But ultimately it's up to the Iranians if
Speaker 7: they're going to take the olive branch. And the regime
Speaker 7: decided not to take the olive branch and they got
Speaker 7: the arrows instead.
Speaker 1: Spectacular that they learned nothing from Operation Midnight Hammer to
Speaker 1: me anyway, ambassadorselves, we appreciate you being with us.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Eight hundred nine one. Shawn is her number.
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of this program.
Speaker 6: The Sean Hannity Show, a Thermonuclear Mma Assault on Facing News.
Speaker 8: Hannity's on right now.
Speaker 1: All right, twenty five now to the top. Of the hour,
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine. Shawn is her number if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. I barely I
Speaker 1: I didn't know the the Oscars were on last night.
Speaker 1: My understanding is I think they're moving after I guess
Speaker 1: being on ABC since the seventies. My recollection Linda is
Speaker 1: that they're moving to YouTube at some point.
Speaker 2: Is that true?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I just heard that too, because I don't know that
Speaker 10: much about it, And in prepping for today's show, I
Speaker 10: was like, Okay, so twenty twenty nine, they are leaving
Speaker 10: ABC after how many years? Since nineteen seventy six they've
Speaker 10: been on ABC.
Speaker 1: Right years ago, I would have been inclined to at
Speaker 1: least tune into it. You know, there was a point
Speaker 1: when when Hollywood had a stature, they had a certain
Speaker 1: class about not everybody in Hollywood. It was woke, left wing,
Speaker 1: you know, insane the way they are now and it's
Speaker 1: just it's just it has evolved into an unwatchable hate
Speaker 1: fest and I wouldn't even bother tuning in.
Speaker 2: It just is not worth it.
Speaker 1: I've been watching the series ad by Roma Downey and
Speaker 1: her husband Mark Burnett. It's actually on Fox Nation dot Com.
Speaker 1: It's a great series. I don't know if you watched it,
Speaker 1: and I have. It's really good. It really is well.
Speaker 1: First they have the Bible, the history of the Bible.
Speaker 1: You watch that version, and then it leads it starts
Speaker 1: with the Crucifixion all the way through the acts of
Speaker 1: the Apostles. It's pretty cool, uh, and the early days
Speaker 1: of of of the Christian faith.
Speaker 2: It's it's pretty fascinating.
Speaker 10: Watch Passion of the Christ this time of year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's well.
Speaker 1: I'll watch it at least once a year, sometimes twice,
Speaker 1: sometimes more. And The Chosen is a great series. I've
Speaker 1: watched that at least five times start to finish. I
Speaker 1: can't wait for the you know, yeah, uh huh. I'll
Speaker 1: watch like an episode of a night, you know, until
Speaker 1: I finally get through all the seasons. Some nights I'll
Speaker 1: sneak in two episodes because I don't want to stop
Speaker 1: watching it, so nobody watches. Here's Jimmy Kimmel, for example.
Speaker 1: I guess he was given out one of the awards.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: Conan O'Brien, you know, from all I read this morning,
Speaker 1: there was there's a lot of hate trumpet this thing,
Speaker 1: and it's just not a surprise. But it's not funny either,
Speaker 1: and is this not worth anybody's time? That's the worst part.
Speaker 1: They have rendered themselves irrelevant, and even the mainstream media
Speaker 1: is writing about its lack of relevancy. Anyway, here's Kimmel.
Speaker 9: As you know, there are some countries whose leaders don't
Speaker 9: support free speech. I'm not at liberty to say which
Speaker 9: let's just leave it at North Korea and CBS. Fortunately,
Speaker 9: fortunately for all of us, there is an international community
Speaker 9: of filmmakers dedicated to telling the truth, oftentimes at great risk,
Speaker 9: to make films that teach us, that call out injustice
Speaker 9: and aspire us to take action. And there are also
Speaker 9: documentaries where you walk around the White House trying on shoes.
Speaker 7: Here are the.
Speaker 9: Nominees for Documentary Short Film.
Speaker 2: I'm just not impressed. It's just not funny.
Speaker 1: That's this whole act, every single second of every day,
Speaker 1: and it's the is boring. And you know, there used
Speaker 1: to be a time where you know, very very you
Speaker 1: know what that's from.
Speaker 2: Right, wonderful life, very good?
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not good, uh, and where it had prestige
Speaker 1: and esteem and Bob Hope would you know, would go
Speaker 1: with our troops and conflict conflict and war, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Those days are gone. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: happened to joy Read. I don't really understand it. Once
Speaker 1: defended her right to stay. I never called for people
Speaker 1: to be fired, canceled, boycotted the way the left does
Speaker 1: to conservatives.
Speaker 2: But just listen to this comment.
Speaker 11: Our regem has secret police. They have secret police. Our
Speaker 11: regime is oppressing women, taking away abortion rights, taking away
Speaker 11: women's rights in like twenty six country, twenty six states.
Speaker 11: Some states where they're trying to have the death penalty
Speaker 11: for having an abortion, they also oppress women there. They
Speaker 11: had the highest rate of women who are in stem careers.
Speaker 11: We're kicking women out of the military, out of university.
Speaker 11: We're saying that DEI means women can't be hired for
Speaker 11: high positions in the sciences. So we're we're marginally better,
Speaker 11: and we're doing it for Christianity. They're doing it for Islam. Right,
Speaker 11: So it's like we don't get told those things because
Speaker 11: it would take it would it would take away the
Speaker 11: kind of American exceptionalism narrative.
Speaker 1: Okay, you want to you want to break that down
Speaker 1: for me. You know what state has the death penalty
Speaker 1: for abortion, could you know? Because I don't know. I've
Speaker 1: never heard of that before.
Speaker 10: I have to say this has been an ongoing struggle
Speaker 10: recently with the left making these broad, sweeping, obscene claims
Speaker 10: saying and the research shows or I've heard or sources
Speaker 10: tell me. I'm like, okay, I would be interested in
Speaker 10: what sources and what facts you have to back up
Speaker 10: what you're saying, because to say that there's the death
Speaker 10: penalty for getting abortion, if you want to kill your baby,
Speaker 10: there are plenty of places you can do it. There's
Speaker 10: a lot of say people out there, and there's a
Speaker 10: lot of states that let you do it.
Speaker 1: So have a A Supreme Court codified the use of
Speaker 1: the abortion pill, which is from basically the first trimester,
Speaker 1: so let's start there. That's nationwide. That's why it's not
Speaker 1: the issue that it once was. To say that fast,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I said, I want to make sure
Speaker 1: that it's rare and legal, legal and rare.
Speaker 2: And I would say early the word early to yeah.
Speaker 10: Now they're like, hey, if your kid's walking, you know,
Speaker 10: it's still okay you to take them out. I mean
Speaker 10: the idea that you can have a nine month child healthy,
Speaker 10: alive next to you on the table, and you're allowed
Speaker 10: to kill it. That's not abortion, that's murder.
Speaker 6: Guys.
Speaker 2: That is a child. That isn't fanticide.
Speaker 1: That is a child that is capable of living outside
Speaker 1: the womb on its own. But it doesn't matter that,
Speaker 1: just the absurd claims. And here's the thing. I you know,
Speaker 1: I've spent a little bit of time, not much, but
Speaker 1: a little, and you watch these people that spread these
Speaker 1: these falsehoods and these conspiracies, and here's the sick part.
Speaker 1: They're actually very good at spreading their lives. I know
Speaker 1: that may sound a little contradictory. They make it so
Speaker 1: convincing that if you are in I'll use Russia's term,
Speaker 1: I'll steal it from him, a low information voter, a
Speaker 1: low information person. Overall, you're going to believe the lie,
Speaker 1: the conspiracy theory, and they're going to be really convincing
Speaker 1: selling it to you. And that's the scary part. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to our busy phones. Jim and Texas. God
Speaker 1: bless Texas. Jim, how are you?
Speaker 12: Hey? Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call. That's a
Speaker 12: tough conversation to follow. I'll tak you that right now. Anyways,
Speaker 12: I want to talk about the thing you guys are
Speaker 12: talking about with Lindo on Friday. This is really for Linda.
Speaker 12: You can give up cursing for Lynn. You can give
Speaker 12: up cursing altogether. And I'm proof positive that it can
Speaker 12: happen because when I left the army in eighty seven,
Speaker 12: I had a foul mouth. It was just it was terrible.
Speaker 12: And I met my soon to be white and my
Speaker 12: buddies will call me up and I'd be on the phone,
Speaker 12: and she knew exactly who I was talking to by
Speaker 12: the way I was talking, and so I knew I
Speaker 12: had to retrain my brain to not curse all the time.
Speaker 12: And I was pretty successful at it, and so ended
Speaker 12: up working for the SAD Agency here in Texas for
Speaker 12: twenty something years and worked with a lady that had
Speaker 12: at mouth what I think Linda has, and she surprised
Speaker 12: me one day. She goes, I've never heard you curse ever,
Speaker 12: no matter what the situation is, I've never heard you curse,
Speaker 12: And like, you can do it. It's not that hard.
Speaker 12: But Linda, here's support for you. You can do it.
Speaker 10: Well, Thank you. I appreciate it. The problem is I
Speaker 10: don't want to do it. That's the first that's the
Speaker 10: first hurdle.
Speaker 1: Well, here's me, And why have you spent all these
Speaker 1: years proclaiming on this show that you're going to give
Speaker 1: it up for lent, only to fail spectacularly?
Speaker 2: Why do we try?
Speaker 6: Try?
Speaker 10: I want to try for our Lord and Savior. I
Speaker 10: just realized that it kind of sucks that I can't,
Speaker 10: so I decided to give up something else.
Speaker 12: I loved that.
Speaker 10: I thought i'd be more successful at.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, you do you hear this song? He's
Speaker 2: like a.
Speaker 1: Liberal, I'm telling you right now, because she's basically saying
Speaker 1: she has no control over us. All, all right, we're
Speaker 1: moving on. Thanks Jim in Texas. This is just a
Speaker 1: colossal waste of time. Let's say I to Zach in
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Hey, Zach, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 9: Hey?
Speaker 13: Sean, good talking to you.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you. What's going on?
Speaker 13: First off, didn't watch the Oscars, didn't have any interest,
Speaker 13: but I tuned into your show regularly. I just want
Speaker 13: to make a couple of points today. Something that I
Speaker 13: think has been quite overlooked by the mainstream media is
Speaker 13: I think nothing our comander in chief does is really
Speaker 13: by accident and the Maduro raid and the access to
Speaker 13: Venezuelan oil is quite a strategic move from where we're
Speaker 13: standing now that if need be, there's potential that we
Speaker 13: have access to that where we wouldn't have had that before.
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you, And this is the beauty
Speaker 1: of it all is I think when I Ran is
Speaker 1: all said and done, why do I think there's a
Speaker 1: strong possibility that we will have oil deals with Iran
Speaker 1: when all's said and done. I can't predict with the
Speaker 1: pinpoint certainty, but I'm hoping you know that that happens.
Speaker 13: I agree with you there, and I think there's potential
Speaker 13: for a economic boom after this war that is going
Speaker 13: to be on something that we haven't seen in many years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you think that what's an unforeseen what?
Speaker 13: I think we're gonna uh, the economy is going to boom,
Speaker 13: and we're there's going to be a period of time
Speaker 13: time we see an abundance.
Speaker 1: Of I don't think it's unforeseen. I think it's inevitable.
Speaker 1: I do, and I hope it happens sooner than later.
Speaker 1: I hope this gets wrapped up sooner than later. It's
Speaker 1: the fact that people any if I would have told
Speaker 1: anybody that, you know, seventeen days into this we would
Speaker 1: be where we are today, would you have taken this outcome?
Speaker 1: Because and this is like if you start caring World
Speaker 1: War one, world War two, if you know, if you
Speaker 1: look at Afghanistan and a Raq, you know, what do
Speaker 1: we conclude at the end of that? It was we
Speaker 1: could never fight wars that way? Ever again, you know,
Speaker 1: having kids stepping over IEDs the way they were, they
Speaker 1: didn't have up armored humvies and so on and so forth.
Speaker 1: And now we now see the next generation of weaponry.
Speaker 1: For those that don't want to spend money on the
Speaker 1: future generations of weaponry, you're making a big mistake because
Speaker 1: if we don't do it, our enemies will. And I
Speaker 1: just understand that there's evil in the world, as evidence
Speaker 1: by the last one hundred years. You know, look at
Speaker 1: the last centrally alone. And I keep referring to that
Speaker 1: some people. That's why I don't want to argue with
Speaker 1: people about the war. I'm like, Okay, you have your views,
Speaker 1: I'm done talking to you. If you don't think that
Speaker 1: it was imperative to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1: I don't really have any room to have a conversation
Speaker 1: with you because it's that simple. To me, it's that basic,
Speaker 1: it's that fundamental. Is it in our best interest to
Speaker 1: do it now? While we could do it? It's not.
Speaker 1: War is never a great option, but sometimes your enemy
Speaker 1: gives you no choice. Do you want to act now
Speaker 1: or later? You see it the same.
Speaker 13: Way, absolutely, And I think one thing for that. As
Speaker 13: you said, we've been highly highly successful thus far, and
Speaker 13: one of the only things that has been less successful
Speaker 13: is the Iranian people rising up to overthrow the regime.
Speaker 13: But if we step back from it, it makes a
Speaker 13: lot of sense when the top contenders to do so.
Speaker 13: The ten to twenty thousand Iranians that were killed in
Speaker 13: the protests were the most had the most zeal to
Speaker 13: pursue the overthrow of the government. So that population has
Speaker 13: been obviously thin significantly.
Speaker 2: And yeah, definitely, don't you know.
Speaker 1: And I just pray that this continues to go as
Speaker 1: well as possible. Every human life is imployed. But when
Speaker 1: you're looking at the potential down the road, and we
Speaker 1: have to see down the road, I mean, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: as president doesn't have the luxury to ignore what a
Speaker 1: potentially nuclear armed Duran looks like for your children and grandchildren,
Speaker 1: and the threat that it would the existential threat that
Speaker 1: it would be to America. And so he's got to
Speaker 1: make the hard decisions, and he does it based on intelligence,
Speaker 1: based on his conversations with our brave men and women
Speaker 1: in the military. Appreciate it, my friend. I quick break
Speaker 1: right back. More of your phone calls coming up straight ahead.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and ninety four one Shaw is on number.
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: As we continue, the final hour roundup is next.
Speaker 6: You do not want to miss it, and stay tuned
Speaker 6: for the final hour free for all on the Sean
Speaker 6: Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: Back to our busy phones. It's toll free eight hundred
Speaker 1: and nine, Sean. If you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program, the Dina South Carolina.
Speaker 2: Only have about a minute. Dina, it's all yours, go
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 14: That's all right, Hey, Sean. I wanted to let you
Speaker 14: know that I agree with Linda as far as you
Speaker 14: good grief purchasing a dog. There's nine hundred and six
Speaker 14: thousand dogs and cats ethanized every year. There's six point
Speaker 14: two million that enter the shelter, and a lot of
Speaker 14: them don't make it out. But as for somebody that's
Speaker 14: been doing rescue for ten years, I can tell you
Speaker 14: that there's a lot of joy and rescuing the dog
Speaker 14: and from the shelter.
Speaker 1: By the way, I've done that once in my life. Well,
Speaker 1: your dog, I've donated. I've donated to shelters in my life.
Speaker 1: But there's one particular dog that I really wanted. It
Speaker 1: is the most insanely cute dog in the world. And
Speaker 1: at the right time, I will introduce my new dog
Speaker 1: to you. But I shouldn't get excoriated because this dog
Speaker 1: was born too. I didn't buy a dog that you know,
Speaker 1: I said, please breed this dog. I didn't do it
Speaker 1: that way. I just it was for sale and I
Speaker 1: bought it.
Speaker 14: I understand that. But if you would have gone to
Speaker 14: the rescue page for that breed, you would have probably
Speaker 14: found your breed that needs to be rescued.
Speaker 1: Also, why do I get criticized because this dog needs
Speaker 1: a home too.
Speaker 14: I just wanted to agree with Linda.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you want to annoying me like Linda does.
Speaker 2: Great are gonna I tell you're having a great show.
Speaker 2: That's ha ha ha you two for two in one hour.
Speaker 1: Good for you, all right, listen if if you find
Speaker 1: yourself still struggling under the Biden Harris economy, things thankfully
Speaker 1: are turning around. I know things are a little tougher
Speaker 1: gas prices, although there's still about six cents a gallon
Speaker 1: lower than there were a year ago
