And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
The ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States to a whole nother level.
You have employees who are celebrating genocide, and you are saying it's despicable for me to answer ask the question.
After the horrific attacks of October 7th, calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism.
That will not happen.
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 The new Sean Hannity Show More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.

It's 800 941 Sean on number if you want to be a part of the program.
So as we look at the situation in Israel, what are the biggest challenges?
And remember the Israelis um value human life, so that they're trying they tried to warn the population.
If you stay, you will die.
That went on for nearly a month leading up to this ground invasion.
But militarily, what are the things that they're gonna need to accomplish?
Well, one, they're gonna have to accomplish in uh in Gaza, the elimination of Hamas.
Uh they're gonna have to accomplish the destruction of the network of terror tunnels, some 300 miles of them.
In the north, they're gonna have to uh eliminate the threat that is Hezbollah, because from the north and south, you're talking about hundreds of thousands of missiles over the years that have been fired into Israel.
That threat must forever be removed as a result of this military, you know, um response to these this massive act of terror.
Uh, then on top of it, then we got the declaration of war by the the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
I'm not sure what manifestation that's gonna take on, and if they're gonna keep firing rockets out of Syria, and then you're gonna have to deal with Iran, or if Erdogan really is following through on his threat to involve himself, well, that's gonna expand it out even further.
None of these tasks, not one of them, is going to be easy.
The question is, at any one point, how many fronts will on in this war will Israel have to be fighting to defend the frankly.
This is a fight for their survival at this point.
All right, joining us now, IDF Major General Yaqov Ami draws with us.
Uh General, great to have you on the program.
Uh, first, my deepest uh sorrow and condolences.
Um, if we extrapolate out the population of Israel and compare it to the U.S., the 1400 people killed on October 7th, that would be the equivalent of 38,000 plus Americans that were killed in a single day.
Uh, I can only imagine the pain, the suffering, and the difficulty your country's facing.
And now you're facing a minimum of a two-front war.
You have other countries now firing rockets, Syria, and you've got the Houthi rebels now firing uh missiles into your country, uh, which complicates things even further.
What are the military objectives that you see?
I've mentioned things that are obvious to me.
What do you see?
And you're in you're on the ground in Israel.
The uh the goal and the target of the war in Gaza is very clear, defined by the cabinet as destruction of all the military apparatus of Hamas organization and to destroy Hamas' ability to control the Gaza street.
The meaning of it um if you go to the physics at the end of the day what the military is supposed to do is to go and to find all the offices, the factories of manufacturing uh weapon systems, uh headquarters, uh command and control, uh the under ground tunnels and the people themselves, the commanders in all the ranks of this organization and to destroy and kill them.
So it is a long mission that will take time.
It's it's not going to be ended in a few weeks.
It will take probably few months and the but the the the result is very clear.
The threat from the South will um not exist anymore in the future.
When you say that you mean that there will no longer be an ability of Hamas to fire rockets into question of Israel period end of sentence that that threat will forever be removed.
Yeah.
And it's not about if they uh want to do it or intend to do it or wish to do it.
It's about capability.
We want to initiate their capability to attack Israel.
And it will take time and we but we will probably do it.
And I think that this is this is something that you should focus on it and and because of that the fact that the Houthis are launching missiles from Yemen this is why we build the Aero two and three and we are intercepting them.
One of the cruise missiles was intercepted by F-35, something that we bought in the United States of America.
But let me ask you, General, because I've been there when there's been flare-ups and I've been there.
I was in the town of Starot, and when I was there the night before a kibbutz was hit with missiles, when I was there, you know, kids can't even play outside.
They play in underground bunker playgrounds.
Because the missiles are so close, they get there in 13 seconds.
And I know the Iron Dome is great, but in many ways, isn't the Iron Dome just a Band-Aid?
In the course of 10 years in that one little border town that I visited, they had shot 10,000 missiles over a 10-year period.
That's a lot of missiles.
And we're saying here the same thing, and that is any ability of Hamas to fire any more missiles from Gaza into Israel, that that has to be eliminated in this.
Now, let me ask you.
It's got to be on the table.
I mean, if Israel wanted to obliterate Gaza, you would have the ability to do it militarily, but you don't choose that method.
Do you think maybe you need to be more aggressive with an air war and basically just say, okay, this is...
this this city is going to be leveled if Hamas continues to do this.
No I think that that that would be um um a huge mistake what we should do is to eliminate the organization uh and the capabilities of the organizations and then if if uh Gaza will be there this is not the existence of Gaza by itself is not a threat to Israel.
The threat is done by people and these people should be killed and their capabilities should be eliminated and then the good the people all right but the threat is by people but you can't judge by looking at somebody what's in their heart, their mind and their soul and I played the cartoons they indoctrinate children in Gaza at the youngest ages to quote hate the Israelis,
hate the J Jews and kill the Jews and become a martyr this is why we decided to destroy the military capability that even if they have the intention they will not have the capability.
It is not about the ideology.
Ideology you cannot cancel.
You cannot kill ideology.
That probably will remain in Gaza.
But what we can and we will is to eliminate all the military capabilities.
Even if they want, they cannot launch any rockets or missiles.
And in the future, when we will get out of Gaza, we're pulling out all our forces at the end.
I know if it takes six, seven months.
We will keep the freedom to act within Gaza, as we are doing today within Gaza.
uh uh Nablus or um Shwan because we um well as this is the this is the way that uh allow us to keep the level of threat in the minimum level and in the future we will not hesitate we will strike and we'll go with ground forces to eliminate any attempt by anyone to build the nuclear capability inside Gaza.
It's a three-phases operation.
One is what we are now, to gain control, then to destroy all the facilities and to kill as many people as possible from the leadership of the organization, and then when we are pulling out of the area to remain in a situation in which we can and will act in all our capabilities to destroy any attempt to rebuild the military apparatus in the garbage tree.
then next about the network of ter terror tunnels and um general in case you may not know I've actually been there I've been inside these tunnels over three hundred miles of them that they have built out by the way w using international aid money including money from the US and money from Israel uh but they built this massive three hundred miles of underground tunnels,
terror tunnels as we call them and we're also being told that maybe some of these hostages are in those tunnels certainly part of any military objective has got to be to eliminate this network of terror tunnels.
How do you do that by balancing the reality that there are likely hostages within those tunnels?
That's going to be a very hard, it's hard to discern.
We made once in 2014 an operation against the tunnels which entered into the Israeli sovereign state.
Now we are dealing with the huge amount of tunnels under the Gaza Strait.
They are not going into Israel, they are around within the Gaza, around the whole Gaza Strait.
Unlike 2014, we we have now methods and and and uh um and systems technology which allow us to deal with the with the tunnels we are in much better position to deal with the threat of the tunnels and uh probably we'll learn a lot through the operation itself but we are coming to the operation in much better best methods but by the end of this though that network of terror tunnels will have to be destroyed in some way, shape, manner or form.
You agree with that?
No question.
Quick break right back more with IDF General Yaakov army draw as we continue also your call's coming up 800 nine four one Sean or number if you want to be a part of the program.
From Israel now let's go to the north let's go to Lebanon let's go to Hezbollah and let's go to the rockets as you pro now fight a two front war and they're firing rockets from the north what is the strategy as it relates to Hezbollah and and how do you destroy that terror network?
Tomorrow um Nasarala the Secretary of Isbala is going to give a uh speech and everyone is waiting to see what will he say from what we he is doing in the last f uh four weeks he wants to show that he is involved in the war against Israel but is not ready to take the risk of big war against Israel.
Meaning of that is bringing Palestinians into the into the border help them to cross the the defense none of them succeeded to do it up to now all of them eliminated on defense.
Then is is launching uh um anti-tank missiles all of them Russian made by the way into Israel position and uh we um learn the the the the the way that it is done and we succeeded in the last uh four weeks to kill more than fifteen members of Hezbollah our casualties are six people uh one of them uh civilian and five from the other.
Do you think ultimately you can prevent in the future any more missiles being fired out of Lebanon by Hezbollah or any group into Israel?
How do you stop that?
How do you push them back far enough there?
Very, very, very good question.
Let's see how Nasserala is ready to take part in the war.
We have an interest to focus on Gaza and not to to fight two front uh wars at the same time.
After the war in Gaza, we will have to think what should be done about Hezbollah, because Hezbolla is ten times more stronger than Hamas and and why we will make the same mistake about the Nah and about uh uh Hezbollah and met Hezbollah to to be stronger in the future.
So it's a very good question that should be asked after the war because the war in the war itself, we should concentrate on Gaza.
We are ready.
If uh if Nasala decide to open a war, we have huge forces in the north, and the whole oil force will go to the north to fight the Hezbollah.
Um the list of targets in Lebanon is All right.
Let me then ask the worst case scenario as I can see it, not only a possible two front war, then you've got Syria firing missiles into Israel.
You got the Houthi rebels firing missiles into Israel.
You can now you have the threat.
Well, first of all, you have the head of the snake, Iran, which is you know, that they've been responsible for the military plotting planning and the providing of missiles against Israel.
Uh so you got Iran, and then you got now even the threat of Turkey.
What if a worst case scenario unfolds at that point?
I would argue, General, that all bets are off and Israel will have to do whatever they have to do to preserve their country from being destroyed.
Let's be realistic about the situation.
You mean you can bring everything to the salah.
Uh Turkey is not in a condition with of war with Israel, and I don't think Turkey attacking Israel.
Uh okay, I hope you're right.
What about Iran?
Iran has been it, a minute, a minute.
Let me answer.
The Houthis can launch rockets and can launch uh long uh range missiles and cruise missiles to Israel.
Israel has a very good defensive system that prevent ninety percent of it from reaching Israel.
I would not recommend to go to war against the Houthis when they are launching this.
Okay, after the war we will see what can be done.
It's a huge problem, mainly for America, not for us.
And the Houthis are the long arm of of Iran, and if that's what Iran success succeeds to do, it is something that we know how to deal with.
South Syria is totally another story.
It's a no main's land.
There are Shiite militias there, but the capabilities uh of the Iranians in Syria is very, very, very limited.
They have some capabilities, but it's very, very limited because in the last eleven years, we are bombing there every week at least once, and some of the weeks more than once, and they didn't succeed to beat what they had in mind.
So the threat from the Golden Heights from Syria is is minimum.
There is but it is not a big one.
The big big threat and the real threat for Israel is Hezbollah.
And what to do with Hezbollah, how to deal with Hezbollah is a big question that should be asked immediately after we're war if Nasarala decide not to broaden his involvement in the in the war more than it he did up till no up till now.
If he decides to intervene, Israel is ready.
Well, General, I want you to know um you have the support of many, many good Americans here, and many around the world that see this for what it is, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
And uh I do know how this is all gonna end, and it will end with Israel having a victory in all this.
So uh we wish you God speed, sir.
Um, we're very sorry you have to live through this.
Not fun.
Thank you very much.

All right, joining us now, he is one of the great senators, former governor of the great state of Florida, of which I soon plan to be a resident.
Can you believe it?
I'm finally getting there, Senator.
I'm finally about to make the jump.
I know.
You know, so I became friends with you and Bobby Gindle and um oh, what's the Texas uh Rick Perry.
Perry.
Okay.
I used to see you guys all the time, because whenever you were coming up to New York uh like every other month, all of you, and you were all competing with each other in a friendly way, and you were luring businesses out of New York, you were doing all doing it successfully,
and you'd incentivize them and you'd you say, you know, give them the benefits of what it would be like to run their business down in Florida, uh, or in the case of Bobby Gendal, Louisiana, or in the case of Rick Perry down in Texas, and how much money they're gonna save and how much better the life's gonna be.
And how many businesses do you think you lured away from New York?
I did over a thousand.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, not no, no, not just New York.
I'm sorry, just New York.
Well, New York was probably with about 20% of it.
Wow.
We got we did unbelievable because are big businesses.
We're not talking about little mom and pop shops here.
There are 200, 500,000 jobs at a time.
You know, in my eight years, I mean, I first I was competing with Rick Perry, uh, who is a gold standard for job creation.
Bobby was Bobby Gindle was doing the same thing.
Uh and so what we were all doing is saying, how do we make our states more competitive?
All right.
So by the way, there was a friendly competition between you all.
You all knew what you were all doing.
And but you, you know, it was funny.
One one of you would be in one week, one would be in the next week.
It was hilarious.
Well, Cuomo was really good for us.
Uh Deblasio was really good for us.
Um so, you know, Wolf in Pennsylvania was great for us.
So you had these these these places up there, they're running businesses out of there.
Look, I grew up in public housing.
I know the most important thing is get somebody a job.
You know who does that?
Businesses.
So we we got companies like Verizon and USAA and you we got all these companies took fans hurts to move their corporate office down uh to Florida, but we just went after business after business, and Rick and Bobby did the exact same thing, and it was all tied to making a better place for job creation.
And and uh the good news is is that it worked.
Now it worked.
We had one point seven million jobs.
Now not government in Florida, but in my eight years of there, the private companies, we added one point seven million jobs.
I think COVID really accelerated all this.
Tell me if you think I'm wrong here, but you see this mass migration from states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, and then you see states like Florida.
The last time I checked, it was about you're you're gaining uh about eight hundred new residents a day.
Is that about right?
That's right.
That's right.
And it's not just in that case, it's not just the job creation.
It's people say it's better schools.
Um, you know, your University of Florida is now the number one uh public university in the country.
We're at a when I left we were forty seven year low in our crime rate, and I think it's continued to go down uh since Governor DeSantis took over.
So I mean we this is this state's head in the right direction.
But you know, Texas is doing Texas, you know, Greg Abbott's done a great job.
He took over after Rick Perry.
Uh there's a lot of good Republican governors working their tail off uh to make their states the best in the country.
Unbelievable.
Um I noticed that today, um you usually don't endorse in Florida primaries, and I know your friend your friend you're friends with Marco, you're friends with Governor DeSantis, you're friends with Donald Trump, but you decided to weigh in on the presidential race.
Um tell us about it.
Well, I think we've got to come together.
We've got to win.
We have to win.
And it I think I think Donald Trump is the right person.
Uh the you know, look at what's going on in the world, look at what happened in Israel.
We got a war in Ukraine, we've got a horrible economy, we've got open borders.
We got we got a Biden administration is just destroying this country.
And when Donald Trump left office, um, you know, we had a good economy, not or we had secure border.
Uh so I think it's time we all come together.
Um you're right.
I have a lot of good relationships, and a lot of them are running for president.
They're all wonderful people and be way better than Biden.
I think it's time for us to come together, make sure we win.
We can win, we must win uh in 2024.
You see what's happening in the state of New York, and you know, in New York you have an attorney general that ran on a platform to go after one man, Donald Trump, one family, the Trump family, and one organization, the Trump organization.
Okay, that campaign promise is now being fulfilled in a civil suit.
And they basically want to take over all of Donald Trump's business interests in New York and have it run by an outside entity, prevent him from ever doing business in New York State again, which I don't think he cares about.
Um, and then they want to find him some 250 million dollars.
I mean, I've never seen anything like this in my life.
He has four other, you know, he's been indicted four other times in some of the worst venues for any conservative or Republican, and certainly with somebody with the last name Trump, New York, Washington, DC, Fulton County, Georgia, the other cases in Florida.
I don't think, Senator, and correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think Donald Trump can get a fair trial in in those three top venues, do you?
No, and let's all put this in perspective.
They're they're going after Trump because he's the number one opponent right now for Biden.
Guess what?
Whoever our nominee is, I they're gonna go after us.
That's what they're doing.
They're trying to use the courts to demolish us.
Um so I'm I'm gonna support uh my friend Donald Trump.
I endorsed him.
I as you said I don't usually endorse, I endorsed him after Republican primary in Florida in twenty sixteen, and I we've got to come together, we have to win.
And this persecution of Donald Trump uh and Republicans is just wrong.
You know, often independents they end up picking the winner of elections, right?
National elections.
So if I'm right and he can't get a fair trial in some of these venues, let me ask you this.
If he has a felony conviction or multiple felony convictions, what do you think ha how does that play out in the mind not of Donald Trump's base, not of the Democrats, but independent minded voters that see that Joe Biden is running the country and the world into the ground?
How would that play out?
How would that balance out?
I I think I think independents are gonna say this is ridiculous persecution.
We've got to support this guy, because this is wrong.
The Democrat Party and Democrats and should not be picking the Republican nominee, and that's what they're trying to do.
They're trying to make sure that their you know their number one opponent is not you know, it's not on the ballot.
And that I mean this this stuff is crazy.
This is what you think about in Venezuela or Nicaragua or places like that, uh where they act like they have a democracy when they don't.
So we have got to stand up and we've got to fight this stuff, but this the persecution through the court system and through the legal system of Donald Trump is absolutely wrong.
It's never happened in history.
We're now criminalizing political differences.
I never thought it could get this bad, but I never thought I never thought we'd have policies this bad.
Let me let me ask about Republicans in the Senate, because I don't know if you saw the show last night.
I was in DC and in the the sewer where you work.
Um and I'll tell you I think the House is gonna unite on a lot of these these issues involving our border and border security, energy independence, uh I think funding for Israel.
Uh I don't see a lot of appetite for funding uh Ukraine any further.
They've spent a lot of money on Ukraine, and I but I think they're going to remain united on a as a caucus on these top issues, and then it's going to be sent over to the Senate.
Chuck Schumer and company will shred it.
They'll go into conference, and I don't think the Republicans in the House are going to move very much.
So how does that end?
Well, first off, I think Mike Johnson's gonna do a very good job as speaker.
Um I ran against McConnell twelve months ago because we've got to start working together, and we've got to work with the House, and we've got to support the majority we have in the House.
Uh and by the way, it it takes sixty votes to pass things.
It takes sixty votes to pass things in the Senate.
We've got to stand with our with our House, with our uh all of our House colleagues.
We brought um uh Mike Johnson over to um the Senate.
Um Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, I uh brought him over yesterday.
He did a great job at lunch.
Now we've got to stand together.
Uh he's gonna bring people to together, he's gonna listen to everybody.
We're gonna get the Israeli aid done.
Um, and we're gonna we're gonna have great discussions, but we're gonna get border security done, we're gonna get the Israeli um uh security done, and we're gonna have a conversation about what should we do.
We all want Ukraine to win, we want Russia to lose, but let's we've got to be realistic here.
Uh, we've got a president that doesn't want to win a war.
He wants to just prolong a war.
And so how do we do this when we have a president like Biden that is I mean, this guy is terrible.
Well, I agree with you.
Um I've never been this worried about the country, I've never been this worried about the state of the world.
Uh what are your thoughts on everything?
And the and the thing that really frustrates me is we we we had secure borders.
We had energy independence.
Uh we used to have law and order in our towns and cities.
Uh we didn't have a world in chaos.
Um I really believe the likes of Putin and Chi and Iran, the mullahs there.
I I I think they feared and had a deep respect for Donald Trump.
Uh, and I think they believed him when he said he would do something.
Well, think about this.
I we had I had uh director Ray from the FBI and Majorkis from Homeland Security testifying Homeland Security, and I asked Ray, are we safer today than when Biden took office?
It took him forever to come up with an answer.
But here's what they both acknowledged.
We have we have terror sales in this country that come through our open southern border.
My administration has has quite has But how does Joe Biden get away with aiding and abetting in the law breaking and not and not enforcing the laws of our country?
How does he get away with that?
Because the Democrats in the Senate won't hold him accountable.
We so we don't have majority.
Republicans don't have a majority in the Senate, so we don't get to run any committee.
I'm on the committee that does investigations.
There will be no investigations until we get a majority.
That's why we have to win the House, the Senate, and the White House.
If we're going to turn this country around, we've got to win all three of them, and then we've got to start holding this federal government.
I believe Donald Trump will do it, but we've got to win the Senate.
That's why these city races are really important this year.
Oh man, unbelievable.
Uh anyway, Senator Rick Scott.
Uh, in all those years, by the way, I I really did get to know you and and really appreciate how hard you work.
You know, the one thing you never you were never one of these phony politicians.
You weren't a grip and grab and you know, you know, kind of one of these BSers.
You always just told it like it is, and maybe sometimes it's not the best politics, but it certainly worked for you, and it certainly is work for the great state of Florida.
Uh I think it's one of the, you know, obviously I'm becoming a resident there, so uh full time, can you believe it?
After all these years of threatening.
Well, finally, I've been I've been bugging about this since since the first day I met you.
How stupid I did have contractual obligations that prevented me from doing it, but you know, I'm now been I've been able to uh change that.
Yeah.
Well, I'm you know, as you know, I'm up next year.
I hope anybody that can want to help me can go to Rick Scott.com.
I've got you know, I've got Schumer who spent sixty five million dollars against me last time.
He's picked his candidate, his democrat, and they're gonna you know they're gonna see if they can beat me, but we're gonna work hard, so I appreciate everybody's support at Rick Scott.com.
Thanks.
Well, you've done a great job, uh, like like Marco Rubio.
You guys are a great team together, on my opinion.
He does a great job.
800 941 Sean is a numbered.
Let's get back to our busy phones.
Don Lake Ron Concama next, Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, big Don?
How are you?
Welcome aboard.
Hey, Sean, I just wanted to say I I really enjoyed uh your GOP Town Hall last night.
It was so grand to hear honest answers from direct questions.
Yeah, a little refreshing rather than listening to Mayorcus, huh?
Oh, I'm telling you, when you see that that hearings with Josh Horley and Ron Johnson and and others, it's and Merrick Garland.
I'd like just to see them punished, but uh we're gonna have to wait for that.
But I'm just saying you touched on all top four of the uh questions that I had.
Border security, Israel, the lack of law and order, and uh energy independence in our country.
And uh you did such a great job.
Well, I really appreciate it, Don.
Um I will tell you these are consequential times.
I actually said this, I was talking to the members before we started, and I just said, um, I hope you guys all know that this country needs you to unite.
This country needs you to stand on these principles.
These uh the country's waiting for you to lead them.
And the only way that's gonna happen is if you all get along and you're able to put aside your egos, your differences.
And I actually said to them, I really pray to God that you guys can pull together and get a lot of good things done for the country.
I said there's not gonna be one group of winners and one group of losers here.
You guys will either win together or you'll lose together, and if you lose, the American people lose.
Well, that's true, because during the uh two and a half weeks of uh choosing a speaker, I was a little worried because uh they were all over the map.
Yeah, crazy, right?

Appreciate it.
