Kash Patel on Ukraine - April 11th, Hour 2
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
We're coming to your city.
A system that was entirely dismantled.
But you acknowledge you're likely going to see a surge.
We very well could.
Any concern by folks around here that these migrants will take the phones and just toss them?
Do you have a record of people throwing phones away?
The Hunter Biden's business relationships have anything to do with who should be president of the United States.
So I don't find it to be interesting.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to Revolution.
And the scene's information on breaking news.
Inspired solutions for America.
This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show.
America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines.
Day number 240.
Right.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show.
Toll-free.
It's 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program?
It might have been, Linda, as I said in the last hour, might have been maybe the only 60-minute segment worth watching in maybe the last 15 years.
Because it's corrupt and abusively biased in every way.
Anyway, so Scott Pelley did the report, and it was interesting to watch his face.
I couldn't read what he was thinking because Zelensky was so strong in chastising Western Europe, even the U.S., and NATO, and the U.N.
And what good is a Security Council?
I want to play some of these moments.
You know, it's translated by Scott Pelley.
You know, how ridiculous efforts of NATO, the UN Security Council that led to the destruction of Ukraine.
Listen.
In speaking to NATO, you called them weak.
In speaking to the UN Security Council, you said, if you can't help, you shouldn't exist.
Not very diplomatic of you.
I wonder why you feel the need to speak so bluntly.
When you're working at diplomacy, there are no results.
All of this is very bureaucratic.
That's why the way I am talking to them is absolutely justifiable.
I don't have any more lives to give.
I don't have any more emotions.
I'm no longer interested in their diplomacy that leads to the destruction of my country.
A lot of countries have changed their mind about Ukraine and about our people, but I think we've paid too high a price for that.
These idiots.
Pretty amazing.
Now, one thing that was interesting, and I had been so critical of Ukraine over the years because political corruption had been rampant.
I mean, look at the quid pro quo call with Joe Biden.
You're not getting a billion dollars unless you fire a prosecutor who's investigating my son being paid millions that has no experience.
This is Zelensky, again translated by Scott Pelley.
You know, what evidence does he have of war crimes?
I'm like, Scott, look at your own footage.
This is a stupid question in light of what they also showed in the interview last night.
But anyway, listen.
Is there of war crimes across Ukraine?
The Ukrainian security service has intercepted communications, he told us.
There are Russian soldiers talking to their parents about what they stole and who they abducted.
There are recordings of Russian prisoners of war who admitted to killing people.
There are pilots in prison who had maps with civilian targets to bomb.
There are also investigations being conducted based on the remains of the dead.
Should Vladimir Putin be prosecuted for war crimes?
Look, I think everyone who made a decision, who issued an order, who fulfilled an order, everyone who is relevant to this, I believe they are guilty.
Do you hold Putin responsible?
Vajan, I do believe he's one of them.
The saddest part of the interview for me, and again, I've been very strong in my advocacy that not only NATO and Western Europe, but the U.S., there's no sense of real urgency of what's going on here.
And they captured the images, a lot of which I've been trying to show on TV every night, of the massacre in Mariupol and the massacre in Bucha, where you have all these people in mass graves, all the residencies, all of the neighborhoods, you know, blown to bits and hospitals.
I mean, they just, it was indiscriminate murdering, the murdering of innocent men, women, and children.
I mean, no care for human life at all here.
This is the last cut, and then we're going to bring in Kash Patel.
And this is him saying that he doesn't have confidence Ukraine will get everything they need to win the war.
What are you expecting now in the East and in the South?
We think this will be a new wave of this war.
We don't know how much Russian weaponry there will be, but we understand there'll be many times more than there is now.
All depends on how fast we will be helped by the United States.
To be honest, whether we will be able to survive depends on this.
I have 100% confidence in our people and in our armed forces, but unfortunately, I don't have the confidence that we will be receiving everything we need.
Anyway, joining us now, Kash Patel.
He's a former Pentagon chief of staff to talk about this and other issues.
To me, the world is lacking the urgency.
There's only two issues on the table here, Cash.
Getting the Ukrainians who have shown courage, valor, willingness to defend liberty in their country and fight for their country, getting them the weapons they need quicker.
I also would include the MiGs that Poland offered.
And secondly, Western Europe, we don't need a task force.
They must get off Russian energy and do it like yesterday because it's funding these atrocities.
Hey, Sean, it's great to be with you.
And look, I think you're largely right.
You know, take those in reverse order because task forces have always asked to put these task forces together so you can go out and tell the world you're supposedly doing something.
You don't need a task force when you've got 10 million government employees dedicated to focus on efforts such as the Ukraine.
They're already there.
They're ready.
Let them do their jobs and get out of their way.
But when you make policy decisions that are political on the national security front and you just want to satisfy the lanesream media by putting up headlines, you end up with task forces to nowhere.
And that is the reason why you are seeing a delay in aid Ukraine on any front, humanitarian, weapons, allies, what have you, money, anything, any sort of airlift programs.
That's why actually my former boss and colleague, Secretary of Defense Miller, is on the Eastern Flank right now as a private citizen trying to get it done for the Ukrainians.
That's what it takes.
And a lot of the guys I serve with are going over there themselves, you know, signing up with programs, creating charities and nonprofits, and seeing how we can get the Ukrainians such little things such as drones and basic weaponry.
And it's sad that we as private citizens are doing the mission of the United States Defense Department.
Well, I mean, this was the difference between when you were working at the Pentagon and you were the chief of staff of the Secretary of Defense.
I mean, there is this question, and Donald Trump has said it in numerous interviews, including in an interview with me, that if he was president, there's no way that Putin would have done this.
And I believe that to be true.
Just like as soon as Trump got out of office, the Taliban began their march from the south all the way up to the north, and Joe wasn't smart enough to either push them back and buy time.
He waited till they got to Karzai International Airport before he decided to evacuate.
Yeah, everything he's done has been either too late, not based on intelligence, or for political reasons.
I mean, of course, he's got the biggest political animal of all, Mark Milley, advising him incompetently into the ground and at the destruction of the U.S.
But if you recall, it's basic decisions that they don't want to make because, like you said, Donald Trump made the right decisions on national security.
He didn't let go of Bagram Airfield.
He didn't let out 5,000 terrorists overnight, one of which exploded a suicide bomb and killed 13 U.S. service members at Kabul International Airport.
That was Joe Biden and his administration and his decisions to be political.
And that's the kind of failed leadership that continues to echo over Ukraine.
And Joe Biden is out there saying he's sort of leading this effort against Ukraine.
You know, when Boris Johnson's on the ground in the Ukraine, but Joe Biden is being left off of call sheets and our allies normally in the Middle East who would receive him and take his phone calls won't even take them.
I mean, that to me, in and of itself, shows you how far we've fallen.
We cannot get Middle Eastern leaders and allies in Western Europe to take a phone call from the current president of the United States.
That's the difference.
That's why Putin would never have invaded under the US.
Now we have, we literally, I don't think anyone would have ever anticipated this.
Now, under Donald Trump, something happened that I wouldn't have anticipated, and that is the alliance that emerged with the U.S. and Israel and the Egyptians and the Jordanians and the Saudis and the Emirates, aligned intelligence sharing, everything in between against Iranian hegemony in the region.
And of course, standing strong against them ever getting nuclear weapons.
Now, Joe, Biden is willing to release tens of billions of dollars to the Iranians, allowing Putin to negotiate the deal of all people.
He also would allow, according to reports that are even talking about Putin, Russia building a $10 billion nuclear facility for the Iranians, and then we would lift the travel restrictions on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the biggest terrorist in the number one state-sponsored terror country in the world, and beg the and kiss the ass of Maduro, the murdering thug dictator of Venezuela.
I never thought that would happen.
No, you're right.
And Iran is the perfect example.
Being the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world, President Trump said, we are going to take them out and try to help the citizens of Iran.
How do you do that?
You take out the Soleimanis of the world.
You crush their economy with sanctions.
You wipe off their access to the international banking system.
In sum, you take us out of the JCPOA and the disaster Iran nuclear deal, which you referenced, which we paid around $150 billion in cash and allowed them re-entry into the global markets.
Now, Trump shut that off.
We wiped out the terrorists.
We destroyed the IRGC and the Quds force in Soleimani.
We returned American hostages detained in Iran home under President Trump.
And now, what do you have?
You have our allies, such as the Saudis, hosting the Iranians instead of us in Riyadh.
You have the Emiratis hosting Bashir al-Assad, the dictator in Syria, instead of us.
They are getting together with our allies and adversaries outside of us to take over the global oil market, to take over the global economy.
And we, America, are paying more for it.
And by the way, Afghanistan, the Taliban's on the rise, and Iran, their Quds forces on the rise.
The RGC is on the rise, and their terrorism is on the rise.
And they're just waiting.
And now Joe Biden wants to give them, what, another $150 billion with re-entry to the Iran deal.
So we have two years and eight more months of this.
I mean, we're really looking at the potential of a reconfiguration of alliances that could impact the world for decades to come because Joe Biden's so weak.
I think you're absolutely right.
And honestly, Sean, you and I have known each other a long time.
And I don't think I envisioned a world in which it could get so bad so quickly where the traditional alliances or Western European alliances or Middle Eastern alliances would actually coalesce almost against America and with each other.
And then they would go out one step further and join with our adversaries and align.
And you're seeing Russia, China, Iran all aligning together with Syria, with some members of the Taliban, and all against American interest.
And you're totally right.
We've seen a tectonic shift change completely in global alliances.
And it's going to happen in the next, you know, it's already happening.
It'll probably be complete soon.
And to unwind this is going to take an entire new regime change in America.
All right, quick break, right back.
We'll continue more with Kash Patel, former Pentagon Chief of Staff.
Look, more with Kash Patel, former Pentagon Chief of Staff, as we continue our discussion about the West and the U.S. and NATO's failure as it relates to Ukraine.
I've told this story from my sources about the killing of Solomani.
You were actually in the situation room with President Trump because you were the head of counterterrorism when we killed Baghdadi and his associates.
Tell us about that and what happened immediately after it was done and confirm.
Thanks for bringing it up.
I don't think I've ever actually talked about it on TV or radio before.
We killed Baghdadi, the number one terrorist in the world, after we called Signal Jackpot in the situation with the president.
He looks at me and the first thing he says is, Cash, I want the phone numbers for the Mueller family, the Sotloff family, the Kassich family, and the Foley family.
And if you remember, and Sean, I know you do, those are the four families whose children were beheaded and raped and tortured by ISIS.
That was Donald Trump's first instinct after taking out Baghdadi.
The next one was, we're not done yet because Baghdadi wasn't the only one.
He said, I want the rest.
They were the so-called Beatles of the ISIS group, Kote and Shafiji Al-Sheikh.
We went out, man-hunted, got those guys under the Trump administration, detained them in Syria, fought British extradition for a year, and brought them to America.
And they are being tried currently in Alexandria, Virginia, for terrorism-related charges where they will be convicted and go down for life.
I just met with the Muellers and Sotloffs this past weekend.
Wow.
And they are ever so thankful to the Trump administration.
And they wanted that story to be shared because their children are being avenged in a court of law thanks to Donald Trump's righteous actions.
According to my source, where they killed Solomani, maybe six people in total knew about the operation.
They followed him and tracked him for two consecutive weeks.
They eyeballed him getting on a commercial flight.
They obviously did not want civilian casualties, collateral damage.
They waited for all of the passengers to disembark.
There's Solomani on the tarmac.
They confirmed the sighting, and they took him and his entire entourage out right there and didn't kill a single civilian.
Yeah, I'm going to be careful what I say here because some of that stuff's some of the most, you know, in short form, it's some of the best.
I have very good sources, Cash.
I know a lot of people.
And I never reveal sources.
I'm a member of the press.
I'm not saying you're wrong.
I'm just saying I got to watch what I say.
What I can give some color to is that that is the MO.
That is how Trump operated.
He said, get it done.
Why aren't we bringing American hostages home?
Why aren't we killing more terrorists?
Wipe out Al-Qaeda senior leadership, take out the solemanis of the world.
And in order to do that, and this is what I'd highlight for Americans all the time, we have it.
Our everyday man and woman that sign up to serve that when they're permitted to do it.
Trump.
There are two doctrines that guide me in my decision-making because we've made mistakes.
We can't have boots on the ground anymore.
And with modern military weaponry and technology, we don't need to.
The Trump doctrine is what he did with the Caliphate with ISIS and Baghdadi.
You were there.
And Soleimani, you were there for that too.
And the Al-Qaeda leader in Yemen, which we haven't even mentioned yet.
And the Reagan doctrine is what Reagan did with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan after the former Soviet Union invaded.
And the help that he gave the freedom-fighting Contras in Nicaragua against the Sandinistas and Danielle Otega.
So those are the two guiding principles I have.
What's frustrating about Ukraine is we're not, they've taken on the Reagan doctrine, but they don't have the urgency to do it the right way.
And that's why Ukraine, that fought so valiantly, is at risk today.
With the proper amount of weaponry, they can beat the Soviet Union, probably even take Crimea back.
But we'll see.
Anyway, Kash Patel, we love having you on.
Thank you as always for being with us.
Thanks, Sean.
Have a great day.
All right, 800-941-Sean, our toll-free number.
You want to be a part of the program.
We'll continue.
He talks to the people involved in the top stories of the day.
Every day, Sean Hannity is on.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
Toll-free, it's 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, all right, let's get to some busy calls here.
Lindsay is in California.
Lindsay, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
I have no idea what you're doing out there, but I guess the weather's good.
I guess In-N-Out Burger is good.
There's another good reason to be there.
Sean, that's exactly why I'm calling.
We need your help out here.
We are fighting so hard.
You know, we are still in a state of emergency in California.
You don't mention us.
We're a border state, too, a sanctuary state, and they just passed the AB225.
I'm a mom of five and a teacher, and we are working our butts off to try to flip this state.
And we need your help.
Who do you like?
I hear you talking about Ohio.
I hear you talking about Arizona.
We never hear you talk about California out here, and we are trying so hard.
Who do you like out here?
You know, I have, I'm going to be very blunt.
I've kind of given up on California, and I almost gave up completely on New York, too, until I saw a poll that showed Lee Zeldon within four points.
Then I remembered what happened in New Jersey and had the country paid a little more attention to New Jersey.
I think a Republican could have been elected governor in that state.
You saw the Yunkin campaign in Virginia.
People like to say Virginia is a purple state.
It's not purple.
It's a blue state.
And in large part, because as the DC bureaucracy has grown, all these Democrats have moved into Northern Virginia and they just dominate the state.
The Yunkin message is one that I think is right.
We should put every state in play.
But I'll tell you why I'm not very optimistic for a state like California or New York is because the people that would be smart enough to say this isn't working have all left, or at least a large percentage of them have left.
And they've moved to states that don't basically rob them of 60% of their income, 70% of their income.
Right.
Yeah.
Is there somebody you like in particular?
Well, I mean, I grew up here.
I was born and raised here, and I love it here.
And we are fighting like heck out here.
I'm a teacher, and I'm fighting the CTA.
I'm a mom of five.
We're fighting, you know, the parental right issue that we're losing.
You know, we've been losing, but there is a red wave growing, and we've got to replace Alex Badilla.
We've got to replace Newsome.
I mean, we need the nation's help, or the nation's going to turn into the dumpster fire that we are.
We're trying so hard, Sean.
But the problem is, it already has.
You know what?
The most revealing thing, and I've told the story many times.
I don't want to repeat myself, but maybe people didn't hear it.
If you take a U-Haul out of LA, San Francisco, wherever, and you take that U-Haul and you move all your stuff and you go start your life over again in Texas, it'll cost you anywhere between $2,000, $3,000 for that U-Haul.
Now, if you take a U-Haul from Texas back to California, it's costs like three, maybe $400, and you could probably talk them down to $250,000 because you're doing them a favor by bringing it back because all their trucks are there.
So they charge you next to nothing.
That speaks volumes, doesn't it?
You know, it does.
But, Sean, we are dealing with insane gas tax.
We're dealing with the AB2225.
I don't know if you've noticed it.
It's the crazy abortion bill.
There are people that are mad.
They are rising up.
And, Sean, I want to let you know: four years ago, you flipped me.
You flipped me.
I was a Democrat.
I was a teacher.
I was involved in the union.
And the way that you eloquently broke down what was happening to Trump, literally, I listened to you every day, and you flipped me.
And I believe there are 10,000 people like me.
We've hanitized you.
Look, you know, you sound like, you know what I love about you?
I hear an optimism in your voice.
Linda, right?
I mean, you're so, I hear just a real love, sincerity, passion for the state that you grew up in, the state that you love.
You hate what you see unfolding in that state.
You know, for the first time in 170 years, California had a decrease in population rather than an increase because, you know, it was always California dreaming and people wanting to live out on the West Coast.
I've driven the Pacific Coast Highway.
I lived in Santa Barbara.
I was the poorest person in town, but I lived there for five years in the early 80s.
And I got to tell you something, it's a beautiful place.
And I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
We'll do a deep dive into it.
Let me take a look.
Let me see some numbers.
I have friends of mine that poll.
I'm going to tell them to do just get a feel for what's going on out there and see if maybe it's possible.
When Gavin Newsom won by a pretty big margin in the recall effort, it kind of deflated me on the state.
And I'm like, you know, here we go again.
But you know what?
Maybe if the Democrats keep doing what they're doing and you look at the dramatic decline in support with, especially if you're looking demographically, Hispanic Americans and African Americans are leaving the Democratic Party and droves.
So I'm going to, just for you, we will do a dive and we'll talk about it in the days to come, okay?
We would love that, Sean.
We need your help out here.
We really do.
We're trying.
And I really agree.
Listen, I hear what part of California are you in?
I live in beautiful San Diego, Fallbrook, California.
I love San Diego.
The nicest hotel in the entire world is there.
And you know which one it is, right?
The Bell.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's unbelievable.
Beautiful place.
You got to come see us.
We need you.
We need your house.
I've got to make my way out to California again.
I haven't been there in a while, and I do enjoy the people in California a lot.
I love the Reagan Library.
I've had great times at the Nixon Library.
Anyway, thank you, Lindsay.
Have an In-N-Out burger animal style on me today, okay?
I'll have it on you.
Thank you, Sean, for everything you do.
Well, thank you so much for making it possible.
Tom is in North Carolina.
Hey, Tom, how are you?
Glad you called.
I'm great.
Thank you for taking my call.
What's on your mind?
Real quick.
You know, in these crisis moments that we live, when the president says there's going to be a food shortage, and then here we have this gasoline crisis that's going on.
I'd like to understand more fully, particularly why our congressmen aren't raising hell about it and saying the why and how did so much executive power be absorbed that it controls so much of our petroleum and our natural resources.
It's mind-boggling that we seem like we do not have any representation with respect to these issues.
It's just we have to hear the president say, oh, you're going to have shortages.
I call my congressman up and they say, well, there's not much we can do about it.
And I'm thinking, what is going on here?
This is the United States of America.
So you probably have a Republican Congress.
This is one-party rule right now.
Your congressman is not saying that to be flippant, meaning I'm not going to try.
It's just the numbers aren't there for them to accomplish that which we need to accomplish.
The only way we will reverse this, and it is a disaster.
I have no good economic news to share with anybody.
Oh, okay.
Maybe gas prices for a day went down 10 cents a gallon.
So I paid $4.80 when I filled up my gas tank this weekend per gallon.
All right.
That is hardly successful.
When Donald Trump was president, it was, what, $2.25 at times.
It was nuts.
And it's the lifeblood of the world's economy.
Now I'm watching Europe.
They announced this weekend they're even going to move faster into renewable energies.
What that means is they're just like, you know, Pete Buttajudge and Grand Holmes and Biden and Kamala, by rejecting the reality that the lifeblood of the world's economy is oil, gas, and coal, what they're going to do is they're going to spend massive amounts of money.
They're still going to need the oil, gas, and coal, and they'll pay a premium for it because they're buying it from people that are making a huge profit off it that don't even like us.
And then they're going to, at some point, find out it didn't work.
And now we will have spent all of that money.
And in the interim, countries like China and Russia and Iran and other countries in the Middle East that hate us, they will be getting filthy rich off of our stupidity.
And we will not be the economic power we once were.
I don't think we could ever fully recover.
It will not be easy to fully recover.
Let's put it that way.
I'm not going to say impossible because all things are possible with God, right?
Yeah, I'm a priest, and I've been at the gas plants, you know, putting gas in my car.
And I've had two people within the last three weeks come over to me and say, hey, Father, can you help me out?
I need some help.
I can only put $10 worth of gas in my car.
I pull out the church credit card and I fill the car up with gas.
I've never seen anything like this in my life.
So are you a Catholic priest?
Well, I'm an English Catholic.
I'm an Anglican.
But yeah, I'm a priest.
I was in the Episcopal Church for a while, but now I'm in the Anglican church.
I actually, this Palm Sunday, went to an Episcopal church.
Very similar to the Catholic Mass, but the institutional corruption was too much for me.
I couldn't justify, you know, it started at the local parish and it went all the way to Rome and nobody fixed it.
And I can't believe it.
And it's sad because I think all of it was rooted in money from the beginning.
11 of the 12 apostles were married.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
The first 1,100 years of the church, priests were allowed to marry.
Why did they stop that?
I have two kids.
So, yeah, I mean, well, come on over to the Anglican church.
We'd love to have you.
Well, let me ask you, are you going to fill up my gas tank if I see you out in North Carolina?
Absolutely.
I'm teasing.
I'm teasing.
Anyway, keep us in your prayers, Father.
God bless you.
What you're doing, you're saving souls.
You are a fisher of men, as Jesus said.
