Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Speaker 2: Write down our toll free telephone number if you want
Speaker 2: to be a part of the program. ATS eight hundred
Speaker 2: nine to four one, Shawn if you want to join us.
Speaker 1: It looks like.
Speaker 2: The talk ceasefire talks that were supposed to take place
Speaker 2: in Pakistan. We don't know if they're going to happen,
Speaker 2: and I'd say the odds are probably pretty high they're
Speaker 2: not going to happen. State TV Iran upset about what
Speaker 2: they described as mixed messages from the US. It has
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the US. That's not what's going
Speaker 2: on here. The President now saying that he expects to
Speaker 2: be bombing as now. This ceasefire deadline is looming and
Speaker 2: Central Command now aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is receiving
Speaker 2: supplies as they have been replenishing since the ceasefire began,
Speaker 2: and the blockade continues as as it has been. The
Speaker 2: US forces now have ordered twenty eight ships to turn
Speaker 2: around return to port during this blockade and they have
Speaker 2: been effective in doing so. And now we have reports
Speaker 2: that the son of the late Supreme Leader Ayato Lahamani,
Speaker 2: the younger Haminee, who the older Haminee never wanted to
Speaker 2: take power, take control if he died, has lost. They're
Speaker 2: unable to contact this guy, and now the Military Council
Speaker 2: has controlled everything. And what you have is an emergence
Speaker 2: of an intramural fight for power inside of Iran. I
Speaker 2: think Lindsay Graham described it describe what's going on best.
Speaker 2: You have the guys that want to negotiate, the guys
Speaker 2: that were making promises to President Trump that obviously they
Speaker 2: are unable to keep. Those are the guys in the suits,
Speaker 2: the guys with the guns, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. They
Speaker 2: are the ones that have, it seems, the upper hand
Speaker 2: in terms of this power struggle. And they, of course
Speaker 2: the elite branch of the Iranian armed Forces, and anyway
Speaker 2: they are now it's seemingly pushing out the son of
Speaker 2: the former Supreme Leader who was apparently appointed Supreme Leader
Speaker 2: but really nobody's ever seen or heard from him. Apparently
Speaker 2: was injured in the initial strike of Epic Fury. But
Speaker 2: there clearly is a huge shift going on and a
Speaker 2: power struggle going on. And if the IRGC, in fact
Speaker 2: it gets control of this, and it appears to me
Speaker 2: that they are, then what have I been saying for
Speaker 2: the last number of days, it's either going to end
Speaker 2: the easy way or it's going to end the hard way.
Speaker 2: And as this deadline now is coming to an end.
Speaker 2: By the way, for example, Vice President Vance never left
Speaker 2: today because we never got word that the Iranians were
Speaker 2: definitely showing up. But so as the deadline looms, and
Speaker 2: the president is now re arming and saying that he
Speaker 2: expects to be bombing as this ceasefire deadline looms, what
Speaker 2: do we have it? Who does it appear now to
Speaker 2: be in charge? This guy, Ahmad Bahadi Bahdi is his name.
Speaker 2: He is Iran's new Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps chief, who,
Speaker 2: by the way, has been tied to global attacks. He
Speaker 2: is a radical. He's one of these Death to America
Speaker 2: ideology ideologists. He's bought into that ideology and he has
Speaker 2: a long record of terror and repression, hardline ideology. And
Speaker 2: Bahdi recently elevated to the top of the Islamic Revolutionary
Speaker 2: Guard Corps. They're elite parliamentary force within Iran's military. There's
Speaker 2: about an estimated remaining because they've taken out a lot
Speaker 2: of them. One hundred and thirty thousand of those troops,
Speaker 2: but very sha Revolutionary Guard commander, long history of terror, repression,
Speaker 2: hard line ideology, and anyway, he seems to be the
Speaker 2: one in with the guns, emerging as the most powerful
Speaker 2: guy in Iran, which means he doesn't want a deal.
Speaker 2: And by any standard, Bahitis considered more radical than maybe
Speaker 2: even the regime that was there before. Putting this guy
Speaker 2: with such a bloody, murderous record at the top of
Speaker 2: the Revolutionary Guard Corps confirms the regime is not moderating
Speaker 2: under pressure. On the contrary, they're going to double down
Speaker 2: on men who's you know, on careers of people who
Speaker 2: have been built on hostage taking, assassination, domestic repression and
Speaker 2: torture and of people. And by any standard, he is
Speaker 2: considered as radical as the regime's hardline elite that was
Speaker 2: in power now. Vahits rise could shape whether Iran moves
Speaker 2: towards peace or a deeper conflict. The thing is is,
Speaker 2: you know, there is stupid on top of this. You
Speaker 2: would think logic would dictate that after the after President
Speaker 2: Trump gave Iran fifty days before he gave the green light,
Speaker 2: in spite of these idiots and their proclamations.
Speaker 1: Israel Is controlling Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: BBE is controlling Donald Trump, Fox News is controlling Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: none of which has been true. But this new Iranian
Speaker 2: Revolutionary Guard Court chief, he's been tied to nothing but
Speaker 2: terror and global attacks and death to America. And with
Speaker 2: this power increasingly being concentrated outside of formal institutions, I
Speaker 2: don't think the guys in suits that would like to
Speaker 2: make a deal that see the handwriting on the wall,
Speaker 2: that saw what happened after the fifty day deadline ended,
Speaker 2: and on day fifty one, Israel bombed the living daylights
Speaker 2: out of Iran. The same people that were in power,
Speaker 2: and they were given a warning before Midnight Hammer to
Speaker 2: stop enriching uranium and give up those enrichment sites, and
Speaker 2: they decided not to do it, and then that ended
Speaker 2: in a disaster for them with fourteen bunker buster bombs.
Speaker 2: You would think after Operation Epic Fury, which sunk their navy,
Speaker 2: their air force, most of their military capabilities, the ballistic
Speaker 2: missile capability, drone capability, and you know, you would think
Speaker 2: at this point they'd recognize defeat.
Speaker 1: Even after Midnight Hammer.
Speaker 2: I mean that went on for twelve days, and the
Speaker 2: Iranians said, okay, enough, we want a peace steal and
Speaker 2: then of course we find out when we negotiate with
Speaker 2: them they're bragging about their four hundred and sixty kilograms
Speaker 2: of sixty percent of rich uranium. But Bahits rise comes
Speaker 2: at a moment where their political institutions are weaker than ever.
Speaker 2: This would be a good moment had they had the
Speaker 2: ability to get armed into the hands of people for
Speaker 2: them to rise up against them. But you know, long
Speaker 2: before the world ever knew about General Solomani, the longtime
Speaker 2: commander of the elite Cuds Forces that was killed by
Speaker 2: President Trump and a drone strike on that tarmac, Bahiti
Speaker 2: was one of the men that helped build the infrastructure
Speaker 2: for the Iranian overseas terror operations, and he himself served
Speaker 2: as the commander of the Cuds Forces before Solomani took over,
Speaker 2: that elite unit responsible for foreign operations, covert actions, and
Speaker 2: support for proxy groups. Anyway, analysts that have studied Wahiti
Speaker 2: you know, say he played a very central role in
Speaker 2: building Iran's network of terrorist allies all across the Middle East,
Speaker 2: especially his Bala in Lebanon, amas in Gaza, the Huti Rebels,
Speaker 2: one person describing it as describing this guy as the
Speaker 2: embodiment of the Islamic Republic's most militant wing. As Solomani's
Speaker 2: predecessor at the Kudz Force, he helped build Tehran's terror
Speaker 2: infrastructure abroad.
Speaker 1: They say he.
Speaker 2: Was part of the original generation of Iranian operatives that
Speaker 2: forged ties with militant groups in Lebanon before the nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy nine Islamic Revolution. I mean, so this is his
Speaker 2: life's work culminating here. Some accounts suggest he trained in
Speaker 2: camps link to Palestinian Lebanese factions in southern Lebanon, laying
Speaker 2: the foundation for his alliance with Hasbala and Vahiti. Has
Speaker 2: been linked to, you know, analysts Western governments, some of
Speaker 2: the deadliest attacks carried out by Iranian back networks over
Speaker 2: the past four decades. But as commander of the kuds
Speaker 2: Forces for the ten year period of nineteen eighty eight
Speaker 2: to ninety eight, he has been connected to the nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty three Beirupe Barracks bombing that killed two hundred and
Speaker 2: forty one US service members, the Kobar Towers incident in
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia, and when that took place, thousand and eight
Speaker 2: attack on the US embassy in Yemen, and Bahiti has
Speaker 2: been implicated, for example, by Argentinian prosecutors in ninety four
Speaker 2: for a bombing that took place there at a Jewish
Speaker 2: community center in Buenos Aires. Eighty five people were killed
Speaker 2: in that bombing. Investigators in courts linked Bahiti to the
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires.
Speaker 2: And you know, if you want a little bit more
Speaker 2: background on him, I can keep going. But he's under
Speaker 2: multiple layers of sanctions by both the US the European Union.
Speaker 2: So what does this mean? He is the most radical faction.
Speaker 2: He's got the guns, he's got the forces behind him,
Speaker 2: and the guys that would be more reasonable and understand
Speaker 2: the costs that is about to come their way are
Speaker 2: not gonna It looks to me, I would say the
Speaker 2: odds now are much lower that we're going to have
Speaker 2: a peaceful agreement. I think the odds are much higher
Speaker 2: that this is the bombing campaign. Will we'll start anew
Speaker 2: and I think it will be devastating. And the sad
Speaker 2: part is the president has not wanted to do this.
Speaker 2: The sad part is the president, like he did before
Speaker 2: Israel attack first after fifty days and before Midnight Hammer
Speaker 2: and before epic fury. He has given the Iranians a
Speaker 2: time for peace. Each time they have made the wrong choice,
Speaker 2: and it looks like the hardliners once again will make
Speaker 2: the wrong choice. Will the Iranian people as a result
Speaker 2: suffer in the short term, Yeah, they're going to suffer,
Speaker 2: unfortunately because of the leadership. But this might create the
Speaker 2: vacuum that is needed for the change that would once
Speaker 2: again help the Persian people re emerge. The President put out,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this today, Linda, the
Speaker 2: President put out pictures of the women that this Islamic
Speaker 2: Republic is preparing to hang. You put out the pictures
Speaker 2: of these women, beautiful young women in the prime of
Speaker 2: their life because they dared to stand up against this regime,
Speaker 2: are about to go to their own hanging. The President
Speaker 2: put out to the Iranian leaders, I would greatly appreciate
Speaker 2: release these women. I'm sure that they will respect the
Speaker 2: fact that you did so. Please do them no harm.
Speaker 2: Would be a great start to our negotiations. And now
Speaker 2: the President has had to say they have violated our
Speaker 2: ceasefire many times, and the President really is kind of
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's probably throwing his hands up. They just
Speaker 2: reject common sense, logic and peace.
Speaker 3: And may I say, Sean, one of the young girls
Speaker 3: that the regime is planning on hanging to death is
Speaker 3: sixteen years old, like these are not. This is sixteen
Speaker 3: years a young.
Speaker 1: Women, some of them, A lot of them look like
Speaker 1: they're in the I don't know, twenties. What do I know?
Speaker 1: How my I don't even know how old you are.
Speaker 3: They're babies, but I mean they're babies. They're out there
Speaker 3: just trying to, you know, speak for their freedom. People
Speaker 3: don't know how good they got it. I wonder where
Speaker 3: the movement is now. Believe the women stand behind women,
Speaker 3: they're very quiet.
Speaker 1: Look at how women are treated.
Speaker 2: If they're not covered properly, they're beaten, if they're really
Speaker 2: if they dress provocatively, like Solomoni's niece and grand niece,
Speaker 2: they would be They would be murdered, just like gays
Speaker 2: and lesbians are murdered. Just like anybody that dared to
Speaker 2: speak out against this tyrannical regime is now being hung.
Speaker 2: This is a brutal regime, the number one state sponsor
Speaker 2: of terror, and they wanted a nuclear weapon. And this
Speaker 2: is This is what compelled the president thinking long term,
Speaker 2: understanding the lessons of the last century. I've said this
Speaker 2: many times. Either you learn from history or you doom
Speaker 2: to repeat it. Would it be smart to neutralize threat?
Speaker 2: It's like Mao and Stalin and Hitler and Mussolini and Tojo.
Speaker 2: If you saw emerging threats and you knew in the
Speaker 2: end that millions of people would die, of course it
Speaker 2: would be smart. Does that make any of this easy? No,
Speaker 2: none of it's easy. Does it make any of it pleasant?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: War is not pleasant either.
Speaker 2: Then you've got, you know, this whole cadre of people
Speaker 2: that are out there cheering for the president to fail.
Speaker 2: Look at Chris Murphy, you know, he reacted to an
Speaker 2: Iranian propaganda report claiming that at least twenty six Iranian
Speaker 2: shadow fleet vessels by passed the blockade. He writes, awesome
Speaker 2: of an American senator rooting against the US military. Does
Speaker 2: it get any more disgusting and repulsive than that. That's
Speaker 2: the radicalized Democratic Party today, radicalized leftists today. That's also
Speaker 2: the legacy media mob. They have not reported on any
Speaker 2: of the success, I mean, unprecedented, historic military success of
Speaker 2: the president in this in this effort with a minimal
Speaker 2: amount of casualties in the shortest amount of time. Now
Speaker 2: it's going to come to a conclusion, and it's going
Speaker 2: to be looks like the hard way, not the easy way.
Speaker 2: And how are we going to find define victory? Will
Speaker 2: either in tomb the nuclear dust, keep eyes on it
Speaker 2: if they ever dare to go near it, or just
Speaker 2: go in and take it, or eventually they'll just wake
Speaker 2: up and make the deal. And the straight of horn
Speaker 2: Moves is going to be open the hard way, And frankly,
Speaker 2: it's not even our problem because we don't get any
Speaker 2: oil from the from the Straight of horn Moves, So anyway,
Speaker 2: that's where it seems to be as of now. I
Speaker 2: would imagine that this radical leader that has now emerged
Speaker 2: is probably going to choose, you know, stupidly. Bahiti will
Speaker 2: be dumb. He will cling to his indoctrinated radicalism and
Speaker 2: not to common sense, not to human decency, because it
Speaker 2: doesn't exist in people that can kill innocent men, women
Speaker 2: and children with abandon and believe that they're going to
Speaker 2: be rewarded by Allah with seventy two virgins.
Speaker 1: But that's the mindset.
Speaker 2: Let me explain, and I want to have time in
Speaker 2: this segment to really get into it deeply. Let me
Speaker 2: just give you a headline. Let me explain why it's
Speaker 2: not my preferred option. My preferred option would have been
Speaker 2: a negotiated settlement. But let me explain why on the
Speaker 2: other side, why it's not the best choice. Draining the
Speaker 2: swamp one a corrupt politician at a time.
Speaker 5: This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2: So there is a proposed constitutional amendment vote in the
Speaker 2: Commonwealth of Virginia today. It is the most you know,
Speaker 2: corrupt power grab, blatant power grab that I have seen
Speaker 2: in modern history. Now, we do know Democrats. They don't
Speaker 2: want integrity in our elections. They don't want simple things
Speaker 2: like proof of citizenship. They don't want voter i D.
Speaker 2: You know, if you want integrity and elections, you have
Speaker 2: voter i D, signature verification, chain of custody, controls for
Speaker 2: mail in ballots. I think you should limit mail in ballots.
Speaker 2: I think early voting should be only for people on
Speaker 2: a need to have basis. You need updated voter roles,
Speaker 2: and you need partisan observers that would want the voting
Speaker 2: all day, in the vote counting all night, and then
Speaker 2: we'd have confidence in results. Both Democrats and Republicans have
Speaker 2: complained bitterly after certain electoral losses. Now the question is
Speaker 2: jerry mandering, and they put this constitutional amendment on the ballot.
Speaker 2: People are voting today in Virginia. If you're listening, I
Speaker 2: hope you're paying very close attention. And here's how they
Speaker 2: write this question. Could the Constitution of Virginia be amended
Speaker 2: to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional
Speaker 2: districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections while ensuring
Speaker 2: Virginia's standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after
Speaker 2: the twenty thirty census. Oh, it sounds fair, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: we have to restore fairness. The way this thing is
Speaker 2: worded is the most abuse usily corrupt and partisan wording
Speaker 2: you can ever imagine. Because what the net result of
Speaker 2: this is is a power crap. We heard James Carvill
Speaker 2: and we played it yesterday. James Carvill says Democrats get
Speaker 2: controlled the House, the Senate, and the presidency. He wants
Speaker 2: d C statehood, Puerto Rico statehood, and he wants to
Speaker 2: pack the US Supreme Court. Okay, when it comes to elections.
Speaker 2: Democrats don't want the Save Act, they don't want proof
Speaker 2: of citizenship, they don't even want voter ID. If you
Speaker 2: want to go to a Democratic national convention, you need
Speaker 2: multiple IDs with your picture on it, and you have
Speaker 2: to stop at multiple locations. I know because I've been
Speaker 2: to the last number of them. But you need it
Speaker 2: for everything else that you buy. Everywhere else you go
Speaker 2: to drive a car, etc. To get a pack of cigarettes,
Speaker 2: if you smoke, to get a six pack of Burea
Speaker 2: or bottle of wine.
Speaker 1: That's simple. Anyway.
Speaker 2: Joining us to weigh in on what the ramifications of
Speaker 2: this in a second, but remember this would read district
Speaker 2: in such a way. Donald Trump got forty six percent
Speaker 2: of the vote in the last election, and a nex
Speaker 2: result of this will be ten safe Democratic congressional seats
Speaker 2: in the Commonwealth of Virginia only one safe Republican seat
Speaker 2: in Virginia. This is a power grab and it's written
Speaker 2: in such a corrupt way. I'm not sure if it'll pass,
Speaker 2: you know, muster when it goes before courts. If it
Speaker 2: were to pass, I hope it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 2: Joining us is the former governor Glenn Younkin is with US. Also,
Speaker 2: Jason Miaris is with US, former Attorney General of Virginia.
Speaker 2: I wish these guys were still there. Governor Youngkin, Let's
Speaker 2: start with you on the wording of this. I can't
Speaker 2: think of anything a more corrupt way to write up
Speaker 2: a constitutional amendment proposal.
Speaker 4: No, it's incredibly deceptive, Sean, And in fact, the Washington
Speaker 4: Post even said that it's brazenly dishonest. And we have
Speaker 4: heard from voter after voter, by the way, Republican voters,
Speaker 4: but independent and even Democrat voters that are just flat confused.
Speaker 4: And as a result, this election, which we could solve
Speaker 4: today with enough people coming out today and voting no.
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, this has been
Speaker 4: a corrupt process from the beginning. The constitutionally mandated way
Speaker 4: of a constitution amendment, they violated our state code, and
Speaker 4: they've done it all in order to try to deceive
Speaker 4: voters into voting for something that they don't understand. That's
Speaker 4: just fundamentally wrong. It's an American and Virginians can't stand it.
Speaker 4: And that's why Abigail Spamberger is the least popular governor
Speaker 4: in modern modern Virginian history. But I saw pol last
Speaker 4: week that had her rated as possibly the least popular
Speaker 4: government America because voters she lied to them. She told
Speaker 4: them that she had no interest in redistricting, and now
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the first piece of legislation, legislation
Speaker 4: she signs, is in fact redistricting Virginia in this corrupt, underhand,
Speaker 4: the deceptive way, and they're trying to trick Virginians, and
Speaker 4: Virginians hopefully you are going to stand up today. We
Speaker 4: need a huge turnout in order to say no, we.
Speaker 2: Will not be lied to any anecdotal information regarding turnout
Speaker 2: in the right locations.
Speaker 4: Well, it sounds like from early voting the data would
Speaker 4: suggest that there was a strong turnout in our red counties,
Speaker 4: and today it sounds like there is again good turnout
Speaker 4: in our red counties. But Sean, we had an uphill
Speaker 4: battle to begin with. We knew it, and I will
Speaker 4: tell you Jason Miarz, who's on the line with us,
Speaker 4: our former attorney general, who by the way, battled every
Speaker 4: day in our courts in order to stand up for
Speaker 4: free and fair elections, has done a masterful job canvassing
Speaker 4: Virginia with me. We've had the best time listening to
Speaker 4: voters and straighten them out because they were confused by this,
Speaker 4: by this deceptive practice. And Jason, you've been on the
Speaker 4: road today as well. What you seen What have you
Speaker 4: been seeing out at the precincts?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, listen, I think we have seen an
Speaker 5: uptick of rural Virginia because rural Virginia voters are being disenfranchised. Sean,
Speaker 5: if this goes through, fifty six counties in Virginia will
Speaker 5: effectively have no voice in Congress because they're going to
Speaker 5: be replaced by Northern Virginia Liberals. If this goes through,
Speaker 5: you're going to have five districts that you're going to
Speaker 5: have five congressmen all live within a fifteen mile radius
Speaker 5: of each other in Northern Virginia. That's not fair. That's
Speaker 5: not democracy. It's not democracy. When forty eight point five
Speaker 5: percent of Virginians voted for a Republican to represent them
Speaker 5: in Congress and leave them a nine percent of the vote,
Speaker 5: you know, the Party of Democracy is right now trying
Speaker 5: to disenfranchise millions of Virginia voters, rural voters and rural counties.
Speaker 5: And so I think that's why you're saying that. But
Speaker 5: to the Governor's point, it is a brazenly dishonest ballot question.
Speaker 5: It is confusing. Oh, it's just talking to somebody this morning.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's confusing. Jason, with all due respect,
Speaker 2: I think this is just outright lying full.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's deceitful that they thought a yes vote meant
Speaker 5: they were going to stop gerrymandering, and so we've seen that.
Speaker 5: But I do think this is a moment that we
Speaker 5: need to defeat this today. But if not, the Virginia
Speaker 5: Supreme Court needs to do its job. As governor, you
Speaker 5: can have.
Speaker 2: Said, well, you're familiar with the court. I mean, worst
Speaker 2: case scenario, I know the best case scenario would be
Speaker 2: and the preferable option would be that the people of
Speaker 2: the Virginia get out and huge numbers and vote. Know
Speaker 2: today that would be don't go along with this scheme,
Speaker 2: this power grab by Abigail Spamberger and Democrats in Virginia
Speaker 2: because they want to basically disenfranchise any Republican even though
Speaker 2: Donald Trump got forty six percent of the vote and
Speaker 2: your last governor is on the line here with us,
Speaker 2: Glenn Youngkin. So they want to disenfranchise half the state
Speaker 2: and they want ten safe Democratic congressional seats, only one
Speaker 2: safe Republican seat. That would disenfranchise ninety percent of the state.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it would. In the reality is, you know,
Speaker 5: I know, the courts have at times been reluctant to
Speaker 5: get involved in what they views at political fight a canley.
Speaker 5: By not getting involved, that's being seen as that they
Speaker 5: are taking sides in a political fight when they just
Speaker 5: got to call balls and strikes. As the governor noted,
Speaker 5: they violated the law. There's numerous legal deficiencies of what
Speaker 5: they did. It's not a close call. And listen, Virginias
Speaker 5: haven't changed. In twenty twenty, they voted by a thirty
Speaker 5: point landslide saying you know what, we don't want politicians
Speaker 5: to be the party drawing these lines. We are going
Speaker 5: to go potentially from one of the fairest maps in
Speaker 5: the country to one of the most gerrymanderd maps in
Speaker 5: the country. That's not Virginia. And that's I think to
Speaker 5: the Governor's point. There's a reason why Abigail Spamberger is
Speaker 5: the least popular governor in Moann Virginia history. There's never
Speaker 5: been a drop off greater the four hundred years of
Speaker 5: the Commonwealth between Governor glennngk and Abigail Spamberger. As far
Speaker 5: as leadership and common sense and governance, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: Governor young kidding, what's your last word to the people
Speaker 2: in the Commonwealth. They're listening to us now, Yeah, let.
Speaker 4: Me just add what's been a amazing is that even
Speaker 4: Democrat leadership Don Byer, Congressman Don Bayer, Senator Tim Kaine
Speaker 4: acknowledged that this is unfair for Virginia, and yet they
Speaker 4: still say vote yes. And it's beyond comprehension how someone
Speaker 4: who's been entrusted to represent the people in Virginia could
Speaker 4: possibly say that this is good in any way for
Speaker 4: Virginians because it is so gerrymandered, it is so wrong,
Speaker 4: and it is so un American. And that's what we're
Speaker 4: asking people to do today is get out and vote.
Speaker 4: Whether you are a Republican, a Democrat, or an independent,
Speaker 4: whether you live in the cities or you live in
Speaker 4: rural Virginia, your voice matters, and we need you to
Speaker 4: vote no because no represents maintaining the fair maps that
Speaker 4: have been drawn by a nonpartisan, independent redistricting committee. They've
Speaker 4: been deemed the fairest maps in America, and what they're
Speaker 4: trying to jam down our throats in this illegal process
Speaker 4: is our maps that represent the most cherrymandered maps in America,
Speaker 4: worse than Illinois, worse than California. And we should not
Speaker 4: ever stand for that in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It's
Speaker 4: time to stand up as Virginians just like we did
Speaker 4: two hundred fifty years ago and lead. And today's our
Speaker 4: day to lead. Get out and vote no, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Governor Glenn Younkin and Jason Mieris. Thank you.
Speaker 2: I hope everybody in Virginia votes know on this ridiculous
Speaker 2: constitutional amendment of power grab by the Democrats and led
Speaker 2: by Abigail Spamberberger. This will be a disaster and I'm
Speaker 2: not sure you can count on the courts to overturn it,
Speaker 2: so assume your vote matters. Thank you both for being
Speaker 2: one of us. Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn
Speaker 2: our number if you want to be a part of
Speaker 2: the program. So, as I was explaining at the start
Speaker 2: of the show, you've got this massive power vacuum inside
Speaker 2: of Iran, and it doesn't look like these ceasefire talks
Speaker 2: round two will take place, And it looks like the
Speaker 2: head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, this guy of Vahiti,
Speaker 2: who has nothing but a history of radical Islamic terror,
Speaker 2: the worst of the worst. You know, a disciple of
Speaker 2: Solomani as the guns has the control. We're watching and
Speaker 2: you know, we have all of these women that are
Speaker 2: about to be eight women about to be hung in Iran.
Speaker 2: The president has tried to appeal to those, but it
Speaker 2: comes down to you have these guys that want to negotiate,
Speaker 2: that understand that ultimately Iran is going to lose this conflict.
Speaker 2: I've been saying for days, it's going to be done
Speaker 2: the easy way, or it's going to be done the
Speaker 2: hard way, but it's.
Speaker 1: Going to be done.
Speaker 2: The Iranians are not going to be allowed to foment terror,
Speaker 2: build out nuclear capability, continue to build out their ballistic
Speaker 2: missile capability, now that we know they had ranged far
Speaker 2: further than we originally thought. Where they get in Paris
Speaker 2: and London and other parts of Western Europe, the straight
Speaker 2: of Horn moves has to be open and in many ways,
Speaker 2: and this is the sad part. If we look at
Speaker 2: this and you bifurcate this into two separate issues, and
Speaker 2: I think this has been What has been paramount in
Speaker 2: the President's mind is the President has spoken out repeatedly
Speaker 2: in favor of a better life and future for the
Speaker 2: Iranian people, and that I think has been the impetus
Speaker 2: for the President to go slow give the Iranian leadership
Speaker 2: a taste of or a preview of coming attractions. He
Speaker 2: has been very clear what our it's been. The message
Speaker 2: can not be any more clear, what our military will do.
Speaker 2: The President's message has not been ambiguous either in terms
Speaker 2: of his commitment to wiping out their infrastructure and their
Speaker 2: ability to make money. They have gotten a preview of
Speaker 2: coming attractions with the with the blockade that has been effective.
Speaker 2: They're losing between four and five hundred million dollars a
Speaker 2: day because Donald Trump is disrupted any trade, commerce and
Speaker 2: energy sales abroad. That is the bulk of their economy,
Speaker 2: that's ninety percent of their economy. We now have a
Speaker 2: currency in Iran that is worthless one hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: percent inflation rate, have half the adult workforce now out
Speaker 2: of work in Iran.
Speaker 1: And so you know, when.
Speaker 2: I say this, please understand this is not my preferred choice.
Speaker 2: I'm with the president. I'd prefer negotiated settlement if there's
Speaker 2: one to be had, If the hardline radical Islamic terrorists
Speaker 2: that have tortured their own people for forty seven years,
Speaker 2: if they're still indoctrinated into their death cult of hatred
Speaker 2: of the West and the desire to destroy Israel and
Speaker 2: destroy the US, in spite of all of the evidence
Speaker 2: that surrounds them that they can't win this conflict. If
Speaker 2: they want to keep going and they haven't learned a
Speaker 2: thing about all of their top leadership, the top three
Speaker 2: layers ahead of them dying, then I guess they leave
Speaker 2: the president no option. It's the it's not the first option,
Speaker 2: and I think the President has gone the extra mile,
Speaker 2: and he's done so out of consideration for the impact
Speaker 2: that this is likely to have on the people themselves
Speaker 2: inside of Iran. But if you want to know which
Speaker 2: option will be most effective, it'd be the military option.
Speaker 2: If we didn't take into account the potential human impact
Speaker 2: of this, it'd be easy to wipe out carg Island,
Speaker 2: their ability to produce energy, their infrastructure, their bridges, their
Speaker 2: power plants, and it will be easy if that's the
Speaker 2: path the President decides to take. What they can have
Speaker 2: a nuclear weapons. What they can't have is the continuation
Speaker 2: of a terror regime that is killing innocent and women
Speaker 2: and children around the globe. It's gonna end, and it's
Speaker 2: just gonna end. It looks like the way they're deciding
Speaker 2: now they want it to end the hard way. Sad,
Speaker 2: but that's evil in our time. One hundred million human
Speaker 2: souls in the last century. You know, we have to
Speaker 2: learn the lessons of history. Unfortunately, I wish evil didn't exist,
Speaker 2: all right. When we come back, we've got new developments
Speaker 2: and disclosures about the deep State. John Solomon, Greg Jarrett
