All right, hour two, Sean Hannity Show Toll Free.
Let me give you our number.
It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, not many people in the last 10 days have taken note that at our border, there were 19 Iranians that came into contact with our Department of Homeland Security and our border patrol officers, 17 others from Syria.
Now, I've said this and I stand by this, and I pray to God that my prediction is wrong.
When Joe Biden aids and abets lawbreaking the way he has at our border, and that means we already have over 7.5 million people that have entered this country illegally, according to that congressional report just a couple of weeks ago, 99% of them get to stay.
I guarantee you, among that group, it'll be 8 million in three years that Joe lets into the country.
And if any of you, by the way, ever went to the border and picked somebody up and said, what city would you like to go to?
And you got caught, you would be arrested for human trafficking.
But that's a side note.
As a president, he has sworn oath to uphold our Constitution and the laws of this land.
And he has been actively doing just the opposite.
You don't get to pick and choose what laws you like and don't like and which ones you're going to enforce and not enforce.
And they've taken it even a step further by aiding and abetting in the process.
99% stay.
So we know for a fact, I am as confident as I've ever been that I can tell you America has enemies.
We have not vetted these nearly 8 million people.
And among those 8 million people, I would bet every penny I have.
There are people that have terrorist associations and alignments, and that as a result of this, they are probably plotting, planning, scheming some attack on our homeland.
And when that day comes, assuming I'm right, I pray I'm wrong.
I'm assuming I'm right.
It'll be the blood will be on Joe Biden's hands for not doing his job.
We are a nation governed by the rule of law.
We are a constitutional republic and you cannot have open borders.
And when people don't respect your laws, your sovereignty, your borders, you've got a problem.
There are many innocent people that are there with their families that want a better way of life.
I can appreciate that.
If I lived in a country with poverty and I thought I'd have a better way of life for my family and I had to take this perilous journey to make that happen, I would probably do it.
But that doesn't mean America needs to allow every single person in.
We should have a legal process for anybody that wants to come in, even just visiting the country.
I want to do a background check in the middle of a pandemic.
I want a health check.
I also want to make sure that you don't become a financial burden on the American people because we can't afford to take care of you.
You know, now we're responsible for 8 million more people.
That is, you know, food, water, shelter, medical care, education.
Many kids can't speak English.
And now the school districts are overwhelmed, you know, trying to get these kids up to speed when they've already been failing American children before this even started.
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida put out a couple of tweets this weekend.
I don't want the U.S. to go to war with Iran, but if they attack, we've got to respond.
And he also now has put forward an effort that he tried to pass a resolution calling the president on the president to enforce our laws and revoke the visas and initiate deportation proceedings for any foreign national here in the U.S. who supports, especially, the terrorist activities of Hamas.
Well, that would be basic to me.
That'd be fundamental to me.
Anyway, Senator Marco Rubio joins us now.
Senator, how are you?
I'm good, Chantan.
Thanks for having me on.
You know, I thought I was unshockable 30-some-odd years on radio, 28 years now at Fox.
I don't get shocked very often, but this has really kind of hit me very hard.
I had no idea in our country that there would be universities and protests as large as they are, basically in support of a terrorist organization known as Hamas, whose own charter calls for the destruction of Israel.
And yet that's what we're watching, and that's what we're hearing worldwide, hearing just, you know, virulent hatred, anti-Semitism.
I mean, I didn't think I'd see that in our lifetime, Senator.
Maybe I was naive.
Maybe I thought differently.
Maybe I thought we'd learned something, but apparently we have not.
Well, Sean, I think it's an unmasking of what's happening in higher education in particular.
Also, I think places like TikTok have become cesspools of this kind of misinformation and indoctrination.
It's actually brainwashing.
It's reflected in the polling, you know, where Americans under a certain age, under 35, I think, or what have you, are amazingly pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas in their views of what's happening in the region.
And these things don't happen in a vacuum.
It's a constant bombardment of information and anti-colonial messaging and all this other ridiculousness that sort of made his way.
And this is what we've paid for.
And I think the most shocking part about it is you go out there and you see some of these people that stand for every liberal cause you can imagine, LGBTQ rights and this, that, and the other.
None of those rights exist in the places that they are defending.
So that's number one.
They'll obviously say we're not pro-Hamas, we're just pro-Palestinian, but none of these demonstrations were happening.
Think about it.
What was the catalyst for these demonstrations was Hamas came across the border and slaughtered a bunch of Jews in Israel and innocent people.
And that's what this, and they didn't start protesting once the bombardment started.
They came out almost immediately as a counterreaction.
So that's very disturbing.
Equally and more disturbing is that we know that a lot of the people out there, whether it's putting stuff on social media or they're like, are not Americans.
They are here on a student visa.
They're here as a visiting professor, whatever.
They are a guest in the United States.
They have a visa.
And our laws say very clearly, if you are a supporter or if you are encouraging others to support a terrorist organization, you're not supposed to get a visa.
Well, I think it's logical that once you're in the country and you do that, you lose the visa.
And so I think the administration should identify as many of those people as they can, revoke those visas and remove them from the country.
They shouldn't be here.
And I thought that was pretty common sense.
Unfortunately, a Democrat, probably on behalf of the majority leader, came down and blocked it.
And we're going to keep trying because I think it makes all the sense in the world.
It makes all the sense in the world.
But what's missing in Washington is common sense.
Why wouldn't they want to go on record with this?
Why is this even controversial?
I mean, that's another thing that I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around.
Well, they're arguing about First Amendment.
People are the First Amendment.
It's funny they've now discovered the First Amendment.
They're now anti-censorship and so forth.
But this is not about the First Amendment.
I'm not saying that people don't have a right to hold these views as repugnant as they are.
What you don't have a right to is a visa.
The visa has nothing to do with the First Amendment.
It is a pass or permit to be in the United States for a defined period of time.
And that's what I'm saying.
I'm not saying these people should go to jail or their speech should be signed.
I don't think they should be removed from the country because they support a terrorist organization.
And they're not entitled to, there is no constitutional right to a visa.
There's no constitutional right to visit the United States from abroad.
And so they've got their argument upside down.
That's what they hide behind.
I think the notion, the reality of it is that there is, you know, they also stood up and objected to an anti-Semitism resolution that Josh Hawley had.
Because I think there's still an element in the Democratic Party, which is the core of their base.
I mean, it's big enough to decide elections, I imagine, in their mind.
That they've already upset enough, I suppose, in their mind about being too strong for Israel.
And you see some of that blowback internally in the Democratic Party starting.
So, look, I don't know what their motivations are.
Suffice it to say that it really, to me, makes no sense.
And I hope we do it because I think it makes all the sense in the world.
Let me ask you, as it relates to your other tweet, that you don't want the U.S. to go to war with Iran.
I don't want that either.
But we now have our closest ally in the Middle East, and that is Israel.
And it looks like Israel will be fighting a two-front war.
And that is Lebanon, Hezbollah from the north, again, being supplied with both strategic information from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and with weaponry and rockets, etc.
And then on the south, you got Gaza.
And I'm very concerned because they're now also threatening to get directly involved themselves.
And what you wrote is, I don't want the U.S. to go to war with Iran.
I agree with you.
But if they attack Americans, we must respond.
And Iran appears to have concluded that they can use the proxy groups they control to target, injure, and kill Americans.
We lost over 30 in this terror attack on October the 7th, and a number of Americans.
We don't know the total figure.
Two were released last Friday, but we have at least about a dozen that I know of, that I've heard of, hostages being held by Hamas.
And you said that is why tonight is one of the most important messages you were talking about when President Biden was speaking is that we will consider attacks against our troops by these groups to be an attack by the government of Iran.
What is the response in the Senate to this?
Yeah, so, well, I think most people would, again, haven't even focused on it yet, to be honest with you.
And I think most people would agree with the concept.
But here's the problem we have.
Iran, in addition to Hezbollah and Hamas, Iran has a series of groups, the Houthis, and in particular in Iraq and Syria, these militia groups, they call themselves these Shia militia groups, that are total agents of the Iranians.
I mean, they get their direction from them, they get their weapons, they get their training, they get intelligence, they coordinate operations.
Those groups do nothing without Iranian support.
And in fact, for the last about year and a half, they really haven't been targeting American.
We have a small contingent of American troops in Syria and in Iraq, primarily on a counter-ISIS counter-terrorism mission in those countries.
So they attack us.
Suddenly, from one moment to the next, you see this huge uptick.
It is pretty clear that these groups are attacking us at Iran's direction.
Iran has basically decided, they believe that they can hide behind these troops and they can say, well, we didn't attack you.
These groups attacked you.
But we know these groups are basically agents of Iran.
Their weaponry is made in Iran.
Their targeting information comes from, and they wouldn't do without Iranian support.
The only way to keep that from happening, the only way to keep these groups from opening a front and not just targeting us in Iraq and in Syria, but potentially U.S. troops in Kuwait, U.S. troops stationed in Jordan and other parts of the region, is for there to be deterrence.
Iran needs to know if these guys attack America, America is going to hit Iran.
And so we don't want that to happen.
They don't believe it.
They believe there is a threshold of Americans they can injure and potentially even kill and not have it come back on them.
Will the Americans respond against the militia groups?
Yeah, but these groups are small groups.
They hit and miss.
They move around, but not against Iran.
And so I think the president, if he hasn't done so, and I don't know what he's tried to do privately through intermediaries, but what he has to message pretty clearly to them is you can't hide behind this facade anymore.
If these groups attack us, we're going to hit, we're going to blame you for it, and we're going to respond accordingly.
It is the only way to deter this from happening.
Otherwise, they are going to unleash these groups against us, and we're going to find American troops being besieged across the Middle East, wherever they're stationed, and not just in Iraq and Syria.

Hi, we can sit here with Florida Senator Marco Rubio is with us.
I've been talking a lot long before anybody else about what I saw unfolding before our eyes, which is a new axis of evil, and that is China, Russia, Iran.
And those relationships seem to have only gotten stronger.
I would argue as a void of American or America abdicating its role on the world stage of being a leader.
I think Joe Biden is viewed by the majority of the world as being weak and frail and a cognitive mess the way most Americans see him, which is why I thought it was beyond insulting that Jordan and Egypt and even the Palestinian Authority and Mahmoud Abbas wouldn't meet with him when he was over in the Middle East.
I thought it was a slap in the face to him.
But in light of that, you know, what should Americans expect here?
Because if Iran gets further involved in this and Israel's back is against the wall, I don't think there's anything that B.B. Netanyahu will take off the table to protect his state from being destroyed, which is what the Iranians say they want to do.
And that is wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
I don't think any of the countries in the region or any of these groups can defeat Israel militarily.
What they can do is harm their economy, make it life unbearable, kill a lot of Israelis.
If their barrage of missiles come across from Hezbollah, these missiles that they have now from Iran, they have a lot more of them.
They're precision-guided.
They can overwhelm the Iron Dome system.
And then Israel has to decide do we protect military sites or civilian sites.
So it gets really hairy pretty quickly.
And so that's why everybody hopes that doesn't happen, although it could.
But I think the bigger point that you've raised about the Iran, China, Russia axis, these are three countries that most certainly cooperate, primarily united by a desire to redo the world so that it's less friendly to America and more friendly to their worldview.
But I think also incentivized by the belief that we have an administration that's trying to cut it, trying to play nice with China and not confront them too much on trade.
So they get always looking to do some sort of climate deal with them through John Kerry.
They've been able to infiltrate people into our government in key positions, including O'Malley, the guy that was actually the negotiator with the Iranians that we now know was, at a minimum, a sympathizer of the Iranian regime and their point of view of the world.
I think the same is true with our withdrawal from Afghanistan.
You know, that was going to happen, but the way it happened, it was so chaotic.
It did not look like the work of a power.
It looked like the work of a collapsing once great power in decline.
I think in the Chinese case, at the same time as all this is going on, they're ramming a Filipino boat yesterday in the Pacific over their fault claims to own a certain piece of land.
So we are being tested now in multiple places by nations that not only want to displace us, but that frankly think America's in decline and can get away with it, and with a leader that they think, frankly, they can predict how he's going to respond, and they're not too worried about it.
In the case of Iran, it's most certain that they believe that Joe Biden at all costs wants to avoid a conflict with them.
So they think that their runway and their wiggle room is a lot more than it should be.
And that just invites us being tested.
So this access is real.
It's not like on a piece of paper like a NATO would be.
But these are groups that share intelligence now.
They share weaponry.
And they coordinate tactics at the end of the day in terms of how they're going to approach us.
And so it would not surprise me to now see greater tests from China and the Asia-Pacific region because they think we're distracted or they view it as we're distracted by what's happening in the Middle East.
I wish people were listening more to you, Senator.
We need strength out of our president, and we see what happens worldwide when America does abdicate that leadership role.
And it's not pretty, and it's only getting worse.
And I feel and fear that if we're not careful, this is going to be an unmitigated disaster.
And I hope people begin to listen to you sooner than later.
Senator Marco Rubio, thank you, sir.
Thanks, John.
800-941-Sean, our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
All right.
A lot of news going on.
Let us get to our busy telephones.
Let's say hi to Don in the great state of Georgia, my old hometown.
What's up, Don?
How are you, sir?
Hey, Sean.
How are you today?
You know what I could use today?
I need comfort food today.
I could use the varsity today.
That's what I, if I was in Georgia with you today in Atlanta, I'd go to the varsity.
What do you have?
Well, I'm actually near Savannah.
I'm about four hours from Atlanta.
But anyway, my big thing is all about this speaker situation with the Republicans.
It just seems like they're a bunch of kids.
Everybody wants to take their own toys and go home and play it by themselves.
Look, it's going to get resolved.
There are a bunch of egotistical snowflakes in the Republican caucus.
And you know what?
They're just going to have to figure out what I've been telling them from the beginning.
And it is that if they want to win, they got to win as a team.
They don't have a big enough majority to win individually.
That's the problem, too.
They're not all together.
Well, that's been becoming a big problem.
Do I think they're going to resolve it?
Yeah, I do.
Is it, you know, I mean, just the fact that I asked a few of these snowflakes a couple of questions sent them reeling last week.
And you know what?
There are good people in the Republican Party.
But at the end of the day, if they keep it simple, stupid.
All right.
Just keep it simple.
It's the economy, stupid.
It's energy independence, stupid.
It's border security, stupid.
It's safety and security in every town and city, stupid.
It's just, it's common sense.
And they ought to be able to just say, all right, let's focus on this.
Getting the proper appropriations done on time.
You know, don't, you know, do it the right way.
And if I think they'll get there because I think what's happening and developing has nothing to do with me, but the American people are like, we gave you leadership.
Now lead.
So from my perspective is it's really up to these guys now to get their and gals to get their act together.
And let's see if they can pull that off.
That'd be a good start.
Don't you agree?
Do a good job.
I think Donalds will do a good job.
See, my whole thing is I don't want him to let up on these investigations on Hunter Biden stuff.
Let me tell you what I know.
At the top of the next hour, there are at least 12 huge developments that have been simmering that we've not revealed yet because of the great investigative work of John Solomon and some others that shed more light into this corruption, this family syndicate, that are really, they're all bombshells.
And this president, we call it the Joe Biden, you know, bribery, money laundering scandal allegations are real.
And he's in deep trouble.
That's my conclusion.
So it's all going to happen.
Everybody, I know it's frustrating.
You have every right to be frustrated.
Hang in there.
This too shall pass.
And hopefully they'll get back to the issues that we care about that impact this country the most.
And they could turn this around into a big win if they do it right.
Right.
Well, Sean, I sure appreciate you taking my call.
All right, buddy.
I'm glad you called.
I love Savannah.
Beautiful, beautiful town you live in.
Love it there.
It's absolutely gorgeous.
All right, Scott, Mississippi.
Scott, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hey, Sean.
Really an honor.
You're a warrior, spot on on the war.
My family has followed you for 30 years.
They never even changed the channel, actually.
But anyway, I know you.
Well, no, listen, I don't have a job if they change the channel.
Please tell them.
Thank you for me.
My mom and dad, you walk in the house, and it's Fox News 24-7.
It's kind of funny, actually.
But anyway, the reason I called, similar than your previous caller, the speakership.
You know, here we have McCarthy, Salise, Jordan, three of our, you know, strong conservative leaders.
They won't have it.
I got a suggestion.
Okay.
Me if I'm wrong, or can this be done?
Let's throw, let's use the numbers, round numbers, 200 are voting in sync, you know, to elect a speaker.
20 or so are holding this up.
How about throwing the 20 or so into a room, these clowns who are self-centered and don't care about the country, obviously, only theirselves and their agenda.
Let's lock them, give them some tinderfish, a little bed, some naps, some water, and say, give us a don't cut.
Well, I hate to tell you this, but you're stealing my idea, except my idea is a little bit bigger.
I want to throw all of the conference in a room, have them check their ego and check their phones at the door and stay in that room and don't come out of that room.
It's sort of like the College of Cardinals when they're selecting a Pope and don't come out of that room until they can send out a puff of white smoke saying we have decided who the speaker is and then come out and be finished with it.
Now, if you took away the creature comforts of life and you put them in a position that they have to work like we, the American people, work, that's the way I've worked my whole life, then maybe we'd get an answer.
I love that idea.
Put them in a room and you stay there.
No more weekends off.
No more vacations.
You got work to do.
You know, I remember my contracting in my restaurant days.
I didn't go home until I was finished working.
And if it meant that the bar closed at 4, 4:30 and it was a mess and it took me two hours to clean the bar and clean the areas that I was supposed to clean and do my responsibility, I stayed till 6 in the morning.
If it was me on a construction project and I had a deadline, I could tell you many a night that I slept on the floor for a couple hours, got right back up and picked up where I left off.
I mean, that's the way I roll.
If you think I stop working on weekends, everybody on my staff can get on the line here and tell you at any time of the day or night.
Linda, what time did I write you one day this weekend?
But one morning, you're like, really?
5:50.
Okay, 5:50.
And Linda responded at 5:52.
550 and 30 seconds.
Yeah.
I mean, and there's certain people on my staff.
I don't get a response.
I don't care what time of day of night it is.
I expect a response.
Now, if she was sleeping at 5:50, I would have said, okay, she has till 7.
Oh, you're so full of it.
You would have texted me at 5.52.
What's going on?
Hello.
You're taking too long.
It's Saturday morning.
Why aren't you up?
But, you know, it's, I don't know.
Maybe I'm just a dinosaur.
But, you know, when you grow up in a household where your mother works 16-hour days in a prison and your father works all week as a full-time job, family court probation officer, and then on weekends as a waiter and comes home at 5 in the morning.
And I remember he always took us to 12 or 12.15 Mass on Sunday.
And he embarrassed all of us because he'd just be sit down for 10 seconds.
He'd be like, like, you know, every single Sunday.
There wasn't a Sunday I can think of him taking us to church that he didn't fall asleep.
And why did he fall asleep?
Because he was exhausted.
That's why my father fell asleep in church.
And you know what?
I should have been more understanding of that at the time.
Now I understand it.
And when I fall asleep in church, my kids just, dad, it's embarrassing.
I can't, should I admit that I fell asleep in church?
I think a lot of people fall asleep in church.
It depends what church it is.
I go to a lot of people.
I see a lot of people in deep, deep prayer.
Yeah, deep, deep prayer.
They're falling over backwards.
Heavy breathing prayer.
Yeah.
But, you know, get your.
I mean, Scott, how many hours do you work a day?
Seriously?
Right now, I am not working.
I'm taking care of a grandson.
I'm kind of retired.
But let me, I want to go back to what you were talking about, your background.
I'm similar.
I'm a veteran.
Yeah, by the way, those veterans, those warriors really get a lot of downtime, don't they?
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like never.
My dad is a retired Marine Corps officer, 89 years old.
So you know how I was raised.
Sure.
I wanted to say to you, we thank you so much.
You're a warrior.
You're one of the few people out there fighting for us.
I know, you know, Levin and Bongioni and Laura and a few of them, but we need you, man.
You hang in there.
We really love you.
We appreciate what you're doing.
Hattisburg, Mississippi loves you.
That's where I'm, you may be familiar with Hattisburg.
You got to come through here to go to New Orleans and Florida.
Listen, I got to get out of here.
They're stealing too much of my money.
I'm sick and tired of it.
And you know what?
That day is getting very close now because I just had it.
But you know what?
Thank you for serving your country.
Thank you, Dad, for serving the country.
And, you know, yeah, do I get some of the horrible threats that some people send to some of these members of Congress?
By the way, if you're a conservative, don't ever write a nasty, vicious letter to your congressman like some of these people have.
Don't write their wives and their children.
What the hell is wrong with these people?
You know, that's just vicious.
You know, if you have an issue, why don't you intelligently write your representative and say, this is how I feel, and I would appreciate a response.
Be polite and stop attacking the family members.
I've lived through this my entire career.
It's not fun.
Leave the children alone.
Leave the spouses alone.
Leave them alone.
It's none of their business.
It's none of, you know, why would you do that to people?
Those people drive me crazy.
See, this pressure campaign.
No, you have a few nut cases out there.
Anybody that's ever been in the public eye, I can tell you from my experience, I've had many a moment.
I've never come on the air to talk about many of them.
But you know what?
It goes with the territory.
I wish it didn't.
I wish people weren't jackasses, but I don't like our side being jackasses.
You know, I just assume that's going to be their side.
Anyway, brother, appreciate the call.
God bless your family too.
And I mean that.
Finally, some good news.
You know, we talk about this great organization with this great mission, preborn.com slash Sean.
And that's because we believe in their mission.
We just do.
If you consider yourself pro-life, if you believe in the sanctity of life, if you want to help pregnant, expecting moms in crisis, well, that's what they do.
And this is where they're phenomenal.
Linda, I think that the number of people that have joined this cause has been dramatic.
And I'm going to donate again.
I donated two of those 4D ultrasound machines.
And what they're doing is they're offering free 4D ultrasounds to any expecting mom.
And then those moms get introduced to the life within them that is growing.
And they hear the heartbeat within them of the baby that's growing inside them.
And they get to actually see real facial features.
And in many cases, can count fingers and toes.
And then they're like, oh, no, if they had any inclination towards abortion, the odds go up exponentially.
That's not in their head when they leave.
And then they get counseling support and even further support if needed after they deliver the baby.
Yeah, and I think, you know, one of the things that we miss here a lot is that a lot of these young girls that get pregnant, you know, they don't even realize that it's a life they're carrying inside of them.
They're told so often that it's just, oh, it's just, it's not even a baby yet.
It's a, it's nothing.
It's only a few weeks.
And then they go in and they have a sonogram like the one that you mentioned.
And they're like, oh, wow, this has a heartbeat?
This is a living baby inside of me.
It's a completely different experience.
It's eye-opening.
They can't do it without us, though, because the government's not going to help them.
Yeah, I mean, and this is the difference.
Planned Parenthood gets tens and tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars from the federal government.
Pre-born will never get a penny.
And this is the only way that their mission continues, this using the science of 4D ultrasound to save babies' lives, is because of your generosity.
Anyway, there's two ways you can donate.
You can dial pound250, say the keyword baby.
Takes just a couple of minutes on the phone.
Pound250, keyword baby, or their website.
It's preborn.com slash Sean.
And that's S-E-A-N, preborn.com/slash Sean.
And you know what?
Follow through on your convictions and do the work that the government, frankly, should be contributing to.
If they're going to contribute to one side, they should contribute to the other.
Frankly, they're never going to.
They shouldn't be involved at all.
Let the people decide within dollars.
Anyway, preborn.com slash Sean.
You do not want to miss it.
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
Let's get back to our busy phones.
Craig in California.
What's up, Craig?
How are you?
Hey, Shawnity.
Thanks, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
I like Shawnity.
That kind of works.
Shawnity, there you go.
What's going on, man?
A little suggestion for the senator stuff, too, is link it to their pay.
They don't process, they don't get paid.
But I wanted to say something about what I'm not hearing in the protests, and that is there would be no need for a war if Hamas laid down their guns and gave the hostages up and faced the crime of their sentence for their crimes.
And I don't hear the protests in the U.S. doing that.
And those people that are protesting in America should be arrested and deport them back to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iran.
Let them live where they really support.
Take the squad, remove their senator seats, let people in there that are going to support the Constitution and things of that nature.
You know, the left likes to imply that conservatives are authoritarian.
And what I have witnessed since this terror attack on Israel on October 7th, the equivalent of losing population comparisons, 38,000 Americans in a day, and the level of virulent anti-Semitism and hatred and the sheer numbers of people that hold these beliefs that are sticking up for the terrorists,
it makes me sick to my stomach.
It's repulsive.
It is evil.
It is, I never like these analogies people make, but I never thought in our lifetime, after all that we've learned in history, apparently we haven't learned enough, that we'd ever be back at this point where people had such deep, you know, virulent hatred and that they would support the evil perpetrated against other innocent people.
And nor did I ever think it would come from the woke, the politically incorrect, the ones that, you know, just are lecturing us constantly.
I didn't think, I just didn't think I'd see it.
But we're seeing it in real time.
Anyway, my friend, it's very eye-opening, shocking, and I don't get shocked.
I thought it was unshockable at this point.
This has shocked me.
Made me sick to my stomach.
