Hour two, Sean Hannity show 800-941-SEAN is our number.
If you want to be a part of the program, still following our breaking news.
War raging on now, officially declared war against Israel, getting hit by both Hamas, again, Iranian funded and Hezbollah, Iranian funded.
But no, it has nothing to do with the six billion that Biden promised in funds to be released.
This obsession goes back to Obama and Biden and that horrific initial Iranian deal.
Remember, there were no American inspectors at all that never mind any any place, anywhere, anytime inspections to see if they were standing by their end of the bargain.
None of that.
And there's ransom payment for hostages.
Well, they've got about uh at least as we know of this hour, about a hundred other hostages that they have taken.
And we believe there might even be Americans among that list.
We know nine Americans were killed in this uh surprise attack.
Well many are now referring to Israel's nine eleven.
Caroline Glick is with us.
Now she is with the Jewish News Syndicate.
She's their senior contributing editor and host of the Caroline Glick Show.
And Leel Libowitz is with us of Tablet Magazine.
Uh he's been getting uh we've been getting a lot of first hand accounts of the tragedies, you know, at the hands of Hamas.
Uh Leo, let's start with you, because you're getting kind of up to the minute information on what's going on.
Yes, sir.
Uh listen, it it gives very little pleasure uh to to stories or share them uh, but especially as the American media is so sanitized comes to sharing these stories uh of uh victims, uh I think they need to be told.
I've been spending the last 48 hours talking to people who have survived uh this uh inferno uh and the stories that they tell uh really beckon belief, uh, their act of complete barbarism.
I've heard stories of uh people who received videos of their friends uh raped among the bodies of the dead revelers at that outdoor music festival.
I've heard from uh an acquaintance by the way, the music festivals where 260 people died in one place.
Uh and and again, obviously there were no uh eyewitness accounts to to the to the most horrendous uh acts because so many people have died.
Uh but these animals uh took videos uh of of their crimes against humanity and then shared them widely on social media.
I've spoken to some people who have seen them firsthand.
Uh it is it is gory and indescribable.
Uh I've uh talked to a person who uh logged on to her grandmother's Facebook account uh only to see a video of uh Hamas terrorist uh execute her grandmother filming the execution on the grandmother's own phone and posting it to Facebook.
Imagine finding out about the death of a loved one like that.
Yeah, I can't imagine.
Uh as we know, Caroline 2.
You have your sources on the ground, people you've been talking to.
And it's as brutal as it's been, and uh, although we're really waiting for the full force of Israel's response, that has not occurred yet.
Well, you know, I think that uh Israel is caught, our IDF was caught with its pants down essentially.
Uh we it was a surprise attack.
Uh we're gonna have to figure out how exactly that happened.
Uh but uh they've regrouped and uh they're priming for a massive offensive uh we just received word from the home front command that uh all of us are supposed to prepare uh for uh prolonged stay throughout the country of three days in our bomb shelters and our protected rooms and uh uh get enough water, batteries, etc.
food to be able to um just uh sit in our shelters for up to 72 hours at a stretch.
So I think what that really speaks to is that uh uh uh the assessment of our military is that um the Lebanon uh front is going to be opened it it already has.
I mean, we had a cross-border infiltration today of Hezbollah fighters, and they attacked.
It's not clear exactly the details, but we do know that seven of our soldiers were wounded, mainly lightly.
One was critically wounded.
So that is sort of slowly coming into gear.
And so we have mobilized 300,000 reservists.
we have three to divisions that are either have made it already to Gaza or are going there.
I know our family has five soldiers that are going, nephews and my husband's sons.
So we have, you know, every family basically does, and members of our community were mobilized.
They came into our synagogue on Saturday after the initial invasion and started taking people out to go to their units immediately.
So, you know, there's full mobilization and motivation among our forces is very, very high, very high.
And we'll just have to see it through.
So the counteroffensive is beginning now with massive aerial bombardments of Gaza.
And as you said, Sean, they're threatening us and saying that if we don't stop our bombing, that they're going to start executing the hostages.
But I mean, this is part of, you know, a very major component of terrorists.
war doctrine of the jihadist war doctrine is humiliation, dem d demoralization and uh terrorizing your enemy um with its own people.
So what Liel was saying about the stories of rape especially and child abuse and just rank uh uh Jew hatred of the worst Nazi like kind um being played out on social media on their postings on their WhatsApp groups to inspire people like-minded monsters to join them, like-minded Nazis to join them.
You know, this is a critical element of Hamas's war doctrine just as it is ISIS.
And I just want to add one last thing on that, which is that when we think about ISIS, we always think of them as the greatest barbarians in human history and what they did to the Ozidi women and what they did with beheading their prisoners, etc.
What we had on Saturday in Israel was uh an attack on the Jews of Israel that was much much larger than anything that ISIS ever perpetrated um ever.
And we have messages on their social media that they intend to take our women and sell them into slavery.
So everything that the world condemned from Afghanistan in the Taliban from ISIS in Iraq in Syria, Al Qaeda, everywhere they feed um is is happening in Gaza here at our doorstep and so from from the perspective of most Israelis and I think from the perspective of our government certainly it's the demand coming from the ground is that um the experiment of coexistence with a jihadist
regime at our doorstep has failed and uh and uh this war can only end with complete obliteration of the Hamas regime in Gaza and anybody who does care about the Palestinians as so many uh Jew haters on the streets of of America and Europe are claiming America,
Europe, Australia is For them to be calling for Egypt to open up the border and let the civilians such as they are in Gaza leave.
Because, you know, from our perspective, the pe the perspective of the Israeli people who have just experienced the largest single day of killing of Jews since the Holocaust on our country in our on our territory.
Um the people on the streets of Gaza who are cheering as their women were paraded after being raped down the streets of Gaza are terrorists.
And they should be treated as such.
You know, we we've seen this history and it never seems to go away.
And you know, these problems don't get solved, and and frankly, to see even within the halls of Congress, uh virulent anti-Semitism is is beyond shocking, Leo.
I think it's beyond shocking, but I think there's there's an even bigger problem here.
You know, I have two uh two small children, and and they asked me when they saw these horrific things, you know.
Uh uh, how could this happen?
They said, Look, that's a question that'll take a lot of time to answer how the Israeli intelligence fails in such a way.
How could you know a thousand guys would pick up trucks of penetrate the billion dollar fence and and and subdue the fifth greatest army in the world?
So while we don't know how it happened, uh I think we have a great idea of why it happened.
And here's how I explain it to my kid.
Um, imagine you went to the zoo and you opened the lion's cage and then put a bloody stake right outside the lion's cage, and then half an hour later, the lion escaped, ate the meat, got a taste for more, and started eating people.
You know, who would be at fault?
The answer is obviously the person who opened the cage.
The Obama administration, insisting on their mad, you know, uh realignment regional integration position, uh, brought Iran uh from a state of animosity into a state of being the United States partner.
The Biden administration tripled down on this disastrous policy.
They're the ones who sent money to the Iranians, they're the ones who sent um to Iran's proxies, including Hezbollah and Lebanon.
They're the ones who worked to subdue Israel by forcing Israel to sign a disastrous border top uh maritime border agreement with Hezbollah, and by repeatedly delegitimizing Benjamin Netanyahu's the democratically elected leader of the state of Israel, uh, and intervening in Israel's domestic policy.
So when you weaken Israel, when you intervene in its domestic policy, when you do everything in your power to call its democratically elected prime minister a fascist, illegitimate gov uh ruler, and when at the same time you send money to Iran and and signs that they are the key part of America's foreign policy, something like that happening is just a matter of time.

We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.

All right, we continue our final moments with Caroline Glick and Liel Liebowitz are with us.
Caroline, you mentioned earlier the intelligence failure.
I mean, look the the Israelis' intelligence capability is is looked at as the gold standard in the world.
Um they seemed as you pointed out, I think you use the term caught completely off guard guard.
How did that happen?
I I don't I don't know.
Um there's a lot of information that um I don't know um and that uh is not gonna come out for a while.
Um I'm not sure that the people who need to know know.
Um but what I will say um on this is that uh it's it's very clear that we have outside powers assisting Hamas, not only Iran, Iran clearly coordinating uh between Hezbollah and Hamas, and we saw all of us the Wall Street Journal article yesterday.
Well that are that article suggests they orchestrated the whole thing, the whole planning and execution of it.
And by the way, I would argue, and I did back in two thousand and six that actually what we refer to as a second Lebanon War, which was the first Israeli war with Hezbollah was really the first Israeli Iranian war, and everybody forgets that that war from two thousand and six began in Gaza with the cross border tunnel uh through which Hamas terrorists came into Israel and abducted one of our soldiers named Gilad Shalid and killed his tank crew,
and then Hamas proceeded for two weeks to attack Israel with a barrage of missiles and rockets and mortars before Hezbollah launched its initial cross border assault on Israel on July twelfth, two thousand and six.
So we're talking about something very similar today happening, just on a much larger scale, and also directed by Iran.
And here too, we have to remember that Iran doesn't operate alone either.
It has two strategic partners.
The first, of course, is Russia, that it worked with hand in glove in Syria in order to protect and maintain the Assad regime, even as he carried out genocide against his own people, eight hundred thousand Syrians he murdered with their assistance.
They are strategic partners, Iran and Russia, as well, of course we see today in Ukraine.
And the second strategic partner is the People's Republic of China that signed a twenty-five year strategic cooperation agreement with Iran, brought Iran into the um to the Chinese economic um zone, uh the Shanghai cooperation council as uh as an observer.
Um and Iran its economy is tied to the Chinese economy, and thanks as Liel said to the Biden administration, which is refusing to enforce US sanctions against Iran.
Iran has made a killing selling its oil even at a reduced price to the PRC.
And both of those nations, Russia and China, have massive cyber capabilities.
And it doesn't seem to me to be an outrageous hypothesis that Israel was subjected to a very sophisticated cyber assault on our defensive systems, um, which all seem to be paralyzed.
And I know that there were a lot of failures of understanding on the part of our intelligence corps, the same intelligence corps that thought signing a surrender of our maritime waters to Hezbollah was a good idea, win-win, as they said together, haha, with the Biden administration.
Um so I know we have significant uh failures among our top level officers in intelligence.
Um, but I don't think that that explains everything.
I don't think that it explains thirty percent of what happened.
And you know, Caroline, uh we're gonna continue our coverage, but we really appreciate both of you.
You both have a lot to offer.
We will be checking in, unfortunately, in the sense that I think this is going to be ongoing and it's about to get very fierce.
And I do believe that Israel will be victorious in the end for sure.
Uh it's just a you know, how bloody will this get?
Probably pretty ugly.
You'll hear what everyone really thinks in DC.
This is the Sean Hannity show.

You can start looking years, even decades younger tomorrow.
All orders upgraded or free shipping results in one day, and you'll get compliments everywhere you go.
Anyway, genu.com slash Sean S E A N. Anyway, Wink and Tony Blinken, you know, he keeps saying this is a false narrative.
They made a deal, six billion dollars, but they think, well, because the money's going to be funneled and approved through Cutter, that somehow that that that has an impact on the result.
No, uh, because if the Iranians know they're getting six billion dollars, and that's going to be spent on infrastructure and other uh you know, other projects, humanitarian, even if it was, which I tend to doubt it will, considering the influence that Iran has on all these countries in the Middle East.
Uh that's six billion dollars that you know they they have freed up that allows them to to foment even more terror as the number one state sponsor of terror.
Yet this idiot Wink and Tony Blinken, you know, keep saying, well, there's a false narrative, unfrozen assets.
Well, okay, how did this plan work out?
When you pay ransom for hostages, what happened?
What happens?
You get more hostages take it.
Listen.
The facts are these uh and uh should be well known.
Uh this involved Iranian resources, not American taxpayer dollars.
These were resources that uh Iran had acquired from the sale of its oil that were stuck in a bank, uh, in this case in in South Korea.
They have always been entitled to use those funds under our law and under the our sanctions for humanitarian purposes.
Uh and the funds were moved from one bank to another to facilitate that.
Uh by the way, not a single dollar from that account has actually been spent uh to date, and in any event, it's very carefully and closely regulated by the Treasury Department to make sure that it's only used for food, for medicine, for medical equipment.
So some who are advancing uh this false narrative, they're either misinformed or they're misinforming.
And either way it's wrong.
And by the way, the Iranian president on record, Lester Holt, MBC News saying that Tehran will spend the six billion released in the prisoner exchange wherever we need it.
But even if they do spend it on humanitarian assistance that they were gonna spend otherwise, again, that's six billion more in terror.
And what do you think the result is gonna be when you you when you when you reward hostage taking, you're gonna have more hostage taking.
Well, now we've got at least about a hundred, and Hamas is threatening to execute them on national television.
Never mind the fact that Blinken can't even get his his words straight with John Kirby, who said he couldn't predict if the billions sent to Iran will free money up for terror.
Of course it's freeing money up for terror.
You'd have to be an idiot to think otherwise.
You insist the Iranian regime won't touch the six billion dollars of Iranian funds being unfrozen.
But isn't it true that this frees Tehran up to spend more on other nefarious goals like supporting terrorism and boosting its nuclear program?
Well, to the degree that they continue destabilizing activities and and it's you know, I can't I can't predict what they'll do going forward here.
Now, just in case you didn't really want to believe it, but um uh Rolling Stone of all places published an interview with uh Israel's UN ambassador, Ilad Erdan, and said that dozens of Americans are being held in Gaza amid this uh un unprovoked attack by Hamas.
Quote, I quote, unquote.
I know that there are dozens, dozens, okay, of Israelis holding American citizenship who are being held hostage in Gaza.
Fox News has confirmed this report.
Many Israelis who have American citizenship, uh, we don't have all the names yet, but we're still working to get all the names.
But yeah, that would be American citizens also being held there.
But they can't predict if the money sent to Iran will free up money.
It's just idiotic.
Now, by the way, the smart thing to do would be if the funds had not been released to Iran, perfect.
Let's void the agreement and freeze the six billion that Donald Trump kept frozen in Seoul, South Korea, uh, as he should have.
Anyway, joining us now is Senator Marsha Blackburn of the Great State of Tennessee.
Uh Senator, you're pushing this effort in in Washington.
Uh, what's the reception to it so far?
We are getting some uh good response.
As you mentioned, we've got a letter that we're sending over to the White House.
It is circulating for signatures right now, and it calls on this administration to freeze those accounts that are there in Qatar.
And as you said, that money moved from the South Korean accounts over to Qatar in September.
We know that.
We know this that is where the money is.
And you cannot allow Iran to have access to those funds while they have helped Hamas and Hamas is carrying out this attack.
Iran is the world's largest sponsor of terrorism.
You look at what is happening with Hezbollah, and they're coming out of Lebanon with the rockets in the north, as well as what Hamas is doing in the South.
And Sean, you cannot allow them to get to these funds.
You have to rescind the waivers that would allow the Iranians to get this money that is there in Qatar.
And then you've got to go back into sanctions and look at what to do the Iran.
Wait a minute.
Isn't it true that the Iranians have a lot more sway what like with countries like Qatar than is maybe widely known.
We've known this for a long time.
So they're gonna do the bidding of Iran, and that means there's not gonna be a lot of restrictions on the money handed over at all, if any.
That's right.
And that's why you have got to rescind this deal and rescind those waivers and disallow this access.
And with Americans that have been killed, we are hearing Americans are being held hostages.
You've got the leaders of Hamas sitting in Qatar, and Sean, maybe they should be extradited to the U.S. for what they are have carried out, these atrocities that are being carried out.
And we all know under President Trump, what did he do?
He cut the aid to the Palestinian authority.
He made certain that he got rid of that Iran nuclear deal.
And what has Joe Biden done?
He's been soft on Iran, he did a new deal.
He has people in his administration like Ms. Tabadaba, who worked for the Iran Experts Initiative, and now she is the chief of staff to a deputy over at DOD, and she has a top secret security clearance.
And we have the Tennessee delegation called me in a letter saying this you've got to resend the security clearances because when you see what they have done in Israel, you see them cheering.
You see the Ayatollah cheering this, talking about this as part of the plan to take down Israel.
Israel is our ally.
We have to stand with them.
They're our strongest ally.
They're in the Middle East, and you cannot allow this to continue or to spread.
Well, it seems to me that that it's fairly obvious here that Israel really has a bigger mission here.
If they're going to get to the root cause of why all this is happening, then you you've got to go to where the military strategizing took place.
And you know, we've now confirmed it's unless you're Tony Blinken and your bl your eyes are winking and closed or you're just dense and dumb and stupid, you know that the Iranians had a hand in all of this, including military strategies involved with this, and the Iranian revolutionary guard was involved in this.
So if you want to cut the you know, if you if you want to defeat the snake, you gotta cut the head off the snake.
The head of the snake here would be Iran, isn't it?
That's exactly right.
And you know that Israel is pushing forward.
They are going to respond in kind to this.
And I know there's all this talk out there, Sean, with people that are saying, Well, we need to figure out where the Intel uh went wrong.
And of course, those things need to be done.
But right now the U.S. needs to support Israel.
They need to freeze these accounts and this money.
Anything Israel needs to defend themselves, whatever shoots, sell, flies, or spies.
They need to get it to Israel right now.
Putting that uh carrier out there in the Mediterranean, that is a good move.
Getting ammo to Israel, that is a good mood.
But I'm telling you, anything that shoots, sells, flies, spies, and you they need it to fight this, what I call the axis of evil, which is Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.
Get it to them today so that they have what they need to defend themselves.
And this administration needs to realize the world is watching.
They want to see how we're going to respond here.
Afghanistan and what happened there did not serve us well.
And they are watching to see how the United States of America stands with Israel.
All right, quick break more with Senator Marsha Blackburn, and uh then we'll get to your calls.
Jay Seculow and by the way, Congressman Mike Lawler coming up.
Uh, he got into a battle with Jen Saki, who has no idea what she's actually talking about.
You know, most people have no idea there's an invisible gap in your home's protection, and that means your home, which for most people is the their largest equity item is at risk.
Now, this invisible threat.
It's actually called house stealing, and from F FBI crime stories, and I quote con artists, they pick a house.
It can be a vacation home, a rental property, or maybe just the the main home somebody's living in right now.
What do they do?
Your your deed is online.
They transfer your deed, they forge your signature uh with their name and they obtain the forms, fake IDs, file the paperwork.
Now they own your home.
They steal it right out from underneath you.
Uh, once the step is complete, they take out loans uh using your home as collateral.
They can even sell your home from underneath you, but you can protect your home from this invisible gap.
Just check on your home's title right now when you go to Home TitleLock.com, use the promo code Sean S E A N, and they'll send you a complete uh uh title scan of your home's title, and your first thirty days of triple uh lock title protection is free.

Final hour roundup is next.
You do not want to miss it.
And stay tuned for the final hour free for all on the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, we continue now with Tennessee Senator uh Marsha Blackburn is with us.
To be very honest, the disaster out of Afghanistan is really only the tip of the iceberg.
Uh, I don't think Joe Biden, particularly, you know, was smart in his response to Vladimir Putin.
You know, he's pretty he's he's setting up his troops for an obvious invasion into Ukraine, and it they didn't lift a finger.
And Joe's response is well, don't don't don't let let's not raise or uh escalate this conflict.
Don't let the don't let Poland give the Ukrainians MIGs.
Uh yeah, we can't use cluster bombs.
You know, you put in handcuffs on the ability of a country to defend its it itself and it's uh and a foreign nation.
The other thing is Europe, you know, we're paying more uh than they're paying to protect their continent.
And that's gotta stop too.
And Joe should have demanded that from day one.
You're exactly right about that.
And uh to say that well, this we don't want to make anybody mad.
When you start appeasing people, and when people see weakness and they detect weakness, then they are going to push you the direction that they want to go.
Because they think you don't have a commitment to your principles and your philosophy.
And that is what the world is seeing out of this administration and about Joe Biden, is that they're going to go soft, and it doesn't matter if it's China, and look at the problems that that has caused us or Russia and not selling to Ukraine before they were invaded, what they needed to defend themselves, you see what it gets.
There is peace through strength.
Ronald Reagan was so right about that.
And having that strong military and focusing on what we need to do to make certain that Americans around the globe are safe and that America as a nation is safe.
And Sean, I have to say one more thing on that.
When you look at the fact that we've had two hundred and forty-six known terrorists at our southern border, apprehended this year, but out of the 7.6 million that have come in, you've got about 1.3 million got aways, and you don't know how many bad guys were in that.
Hey, Senator, let me let me give a Hannity alert here, or Fox News alert from Hannity.
Uh, I guarantee you, as a result of the nearly eight million, it'll be eight million after three years, the illegal immigrants that Joe Biden aided in a betting in the law breaking, entering this country illegally.
I guarantee you there are numerous terrorist cells that have been set up right here in this country, plotting, planning, scheming, and just waiting for the call to to uh to attack this country yet again.
And that will mean there's blood on their hands when that happens.
It's not if, Senator.
Uh, I am convinced it's a hundred percent true.
How could it the math the simple math makes it obvious?
And it is so frightening.
People want to make certain that the homeland is secure, and that we are going to be there to defend freedom, and that we are going to support our allies, and that our allies need to know that that is going to be steadfast.
And when you are not going to be explicit, and when people do not know what your policy is, and they feel like that they can manipulate you and your response, uh, then they're going to try to do it.
And this is why we cannot let our guard down, and it's why we have to stand with Israel through this attack.
It is an unprovoked attack.
And you have Israelis, you have American citizens that have lost their lives.
You have thousands that are injured.
You have people, we're waiting for numbers, as you rightly said, of the number of hostages that are there.
This attack was months in the Planning.
Iran has been a part of this.
And while I think they've been the mastermind behind the scenes, but just out of time, though, Senator, uh, keep in touch with us.
Let us know any updates about what's going on in our nation's capital, if they can ever get their act together and get something done.
We appreciate your time as always.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes, inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
