Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
*Pewds Screams* Well, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound We'll all be playing.
How then a jail I know.
And if you want a little bang and yang yang, come along.
We are rebuilding a system that was entirely dismantled.
But do 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 um business relationships have anything to do with who should be president of the United States.
So I I didn't find I don't find it to be interesting.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show.
America trapped behind enemy lines.
Day number two forty.
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 I it's a minor mirror.
Um anyway, so uh Scott Pelley did the report, and it was interesting to watch his face.
I couldn't read what he was thinking because Zelinski was so strong in in chastising Western Europe, even the US and NATO and the UN, and what good is a uh 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.
Pretty amazing.
Now, one thing that was interesting, and I had been so critical of Ukraine over the years, because the political corruption had been rampant.
Um, I mean, look at the quid pro quo uh 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.
Um, this is Zelinski, again translated by Scott Pelley.
You know, what evidence does he have of war crimes?
I'm like, Scott, look at your own footage.
Why this is a stupid question in light of what they also showed in the in the interview last night.
But anyway, listen.
Is there of war crimes across Ukraine?
But it who will slow bespeck, yeah.
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 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?
I do believe he's one of them.
The saddest part of the interview for me, and again, I I I've been very strong in my advocacy that the the not only NATO and Western Europe, but the US did not, there's no 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 Mary pol and the massacre in Bucha, where uh you know, of all these people in mass graves, all the residencies, all of the neighborhoods, you know, blown to bits and hospitals.
I mean, they have they just it was indiscriminate murdering uh the murdering of of innocent men, women, and children.
That's that I mean, this there's no care for human life at all here.
This is the last cut, and then we're gonna bring in Cash 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.
Just as long as the legendary 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, Cash Patel, he's a former Pentagon chief of staff uh to talk about this and other issues.
Um 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 this 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 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 focused 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 lame stream media by putting up headlines, you can 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, um, 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 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 is the difference between when you were working at the Pentagon and you were the chief of staff of the Secretary of Defense.
I mean, uh 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 and Joe wasn't smart enough to either push them back and buy time, uh, 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 then have to, you know, 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 five thousand 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 decision 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 the Ukraine.
You know, when Boris Johnson's on the ground in the Ukraine, and 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 invade it under the United States.
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 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 ten billion dollar nuclear facility for the Iranians, uh, 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 and and beg the and kiss the ass of Maduro, the murdering thug dictator of uh of Venezuela.
I never thought that would happen.
No, you're right.
And Iran is uh, you know, the perfect example.
Being the state's 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.
By how do you do that?
You take out the Solomonis of the world, you crush their economy with sanctions, you wipe off their access to the international banking system.
In some, you take us out of the JCPOA and the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, which you referenced, which we paid around 150 billion dollars 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 Kutz force in Solomani, 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 Kutz forces on the rise, they are GCs 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 and 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 I'm honestly Sean, I don't, you know, 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 uh uh 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, uh, 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 you and it's gonna 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 um in America.
All right, quick break, right back.
We'll continue more with Cash Patel, former Pentagon chief of staff.
Uh look, more with Cash 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 I've I've told the story from my sources about the killing of Solomani.
You are actually in the s 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 confirmed.
Thanks for bringing it up.
I don't think I've ever actually talked about it on TV or radio before.
We killed uh Baghdadi, number one terrorist in the world.
After we call 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 Sotlaff family, the Cassick 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 Baghdad.
The next one was we're not done yet because Baghdadi wasn't the only one.
He said, I want the the rest.
They were the so-called Beatles of the ISIS group.
Kote and Shafiz al-Sheikh.
We went out, manhunted, 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, uh for terrorism related charges where they will be convicted and go down for life.
I just met with the Muellers and the thought loss in the uh this past weekend.
Well 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 Solomon, 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.
Um they obviously did not want civil civilian casualties, collateral damage.
They waited for all of the passengers to disembark.
There's Solomonni 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 gonna be careful what I say here.
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 gotta watch what I say.
What what I can 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 seniors leadership, take out the Solomon's 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 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 in uh I with ISIS and Baghdadi.
You were there, and Solomony, 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 the in Afghanistan after the former Soviet Union invaded, and the help that he gave the freedom fighting Contras and Nicaragua against the Sandinistas and Daniel Ortega.
So those are the two guiding principles I have.
What's frustrating about Ukraine is we're not they've taken on the the Reagan doctrine, but they don't have the urgency to do it the right way.
And that's why Ukraine that is fought so valiantly is at risk today.
With the with the proper amount of weaponry, they can beat the Soviet Union.
Probably even take Crimea back.
But we'll see.
Anyway, Cash 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.
Sean Hannity 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 the in and out burger's 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 ha are still in a state of emergency in California.
Um you don't mention us.
We're a border state too, a sanctuary state, and they just passed the AB2Q five.
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 gonna 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's Elden 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 we th I think a Republican could have been elected governor in that state.
You saw you know 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 the as the DC bureaucracy has grown, uh all these Democrats have moved into Northern Virginia and they just dominate the state.
The the Yunkin message is one that I think is right, we should put every state in play.
But to I'll tell you why I'm I'm very c I'm not very optimistic for a state like California or New York is because the people that are 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 of sixty, you know, percent of their income, seventy percent of their income.
And right, yeah.
Is there somebody you like in particular?
Well, I mean, I grew up here, I was born and raised here, and I I love it here.
Um and we are fighting like heck out here.
Um 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 rate wave growing.
And we've got to replace Alex Padilla, we've got to replace Newsom.
I mean, we need we need the nation's help or the nation's gonna turn into the dumpster fire that we are.
We're trying so hard, Sean.
But but the problem is it already has.
You know, you know what, you know, 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 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 two thousand, three thousand dollars for that U-Haul.
Now, if you take a U-Haul from Texas back to California, it's costs like three maybe four hundred, and you could probably talk them down to two fifty because you're doing them a favor by bringing it back because the they all their trucks are there.
So they charge you next to nothing.
That that that speaks volumes, doesn't it?
You know it does, but Sean, we are we are dealing with insane gas tax.
We're dealing with the A B 2225.
I don't know if you've noticed it.
Um 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.
Um I I was Democrat, I was a teacher, I was involved in the union, and your your 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's thousands of people like me.
By the way, we call it we've had you.
Look, you know, you sound like so you know what I love about you.
I hear an optimism in your voice.
Linda, right?
I mean, you you're so you you you uh 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, you know, California dreaming and people wanting to live out on on the West Coast.
Uh 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, uh what in the early eighties.
And I gotta tell you something, it's a beautiful place.
And I I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
We're gonna we'll do a deep dive into it.
Let me take a look.
Let me see some numbers.
I have friends of mine in the poll.
I'm gonna 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 after in the recall effort, it kind of deflated me on the state, and I'm like, uh, you know, here we go again.
But you know what?
Maybe if the i 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 drove in droves.
So I'm gonna 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 appreciate it.
Now listen, I I hear what part of uh what part of California are you in?
I live in beautiful San Diego, Farbrook, California.
I love San Diego.
The nicest hotel in the entire world is there, and you know which one it is, right?
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
Beautiful place.
You gotta come see us.
We need you.
We need your help.
You know, I uh I've got to make my way out to California again.
I haven't been there in a while, and I I do enjoy the people in California a lot.
I love the Reagan Library.
I've had great times at the Nixon Library.
Uh anyway, thank you, Lindsay.
Have an In N Out Burger Animal style uh on me today, okay?
I'll have it on you.
Thank you, son, for everything you do.
Well, thank you so much for making it possible.
Uh Tom is in North Carolina.
Hey, Tom, how are you?
Glad you called.
Um great.
Thank you for taking my call.
What's on your mind?
Real quick.
Uh I you know, in in these crisis moments that we live when the president says there's gonna be a food shortage, and then we're here we have this gasoline crisis that's going on.
I I'd like to understand and 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 it's it's mind-boggling that we seem like that we do not have any representation with respect to these issues.
It's just we have to hear the president say, Oh, you're gonna have shortages.
I'll 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 is a you probably have a Republican Congress.
This is one party rule right now.
He's not uh your congressman is not saying that to be flippant, meaning I'm not gonna 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 I have no good economic news to share with anybody.
Oh, okay.
Uh maybe gas prices for a day went down ten cents a gallon, so I paid four dollars and eighty cents when I filled up my gas tank this weekend per gallon, all right.
Uh it's it's that is hardly successful when Donald Trump was president and it was what, two dollars and twenty-five cents 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 gonna move faster into renewable energies.
What that means is they're just like you know, Pete Buttig and Grandholm 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 gonna spend massive amounts of money.
They're still gonna 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 gonna at some point find out it didn't work, and now we're gonna 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.
We I don't think we could ever fully recover.
I i it it will not be easy to fully recover.
Let's put it that way.
I'm not gonna say impossible because all things are possible with God, right?
So I yeah, I'm a priest and I've been at the gas plots, 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 of the gas in my car.
I'll pull out the church credit card and I'll fill the car up with gas.
I've never seen anything like this in my life.
So what you are are you a Catholic priest?
Well, I'm an English Catholic.
I'm I'm I'm an Anglican.
But yeah, we're we're we're yeah, I'm a priest.
I was in the uh episcopal church for a while, but now I'm in the Anglican church and uh I actually this Palm Sunday went to an episcopal church.
Very similar to the Catholic Mass.
But I I I the institutional corruption was too much for me.
I couldn't justify, you know, they i 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 um because I I I I think all of it was rooted in money from the beginning.
Eleven of the twelve apostles were married.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
The first eleven hundred years of the church, priests were allowed to marry.
Why did they stop that?
I I have two kids.
So uh yeah, I mean, uh well, come on over to the Anglican church.
We'd love to have you.
Well, let me ask you, you're gonna fill up my gas tank if I see out in in North Carolina?
Absolutely.
I'm Tom 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 uh Jesus said.
All right, quick break, right back to the phones.
