	This is an iHeart podcast.
	All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
	Toll Freed, let me give you my, not mine, our phone number is 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	We have a lot of fallout.
	I cannot believe the insanity of the squad that really dominates the Democratic Party agenda.
	If you want to know where the climate alarmist religious cult started, that's all AOC in the squad.
	I always said Nancy Pelosi was speaker and name only.
	Same thing with Hakeem Jeffries.
	I mean, because this is madness.
	Somalia first, Congresswoman Omar.
	Really?
	Not America first?
	Somalia first?
	Okay.
	AOC blasting Biden for pulling funding from the UN organization where apparently 12 of the workers participated in the October 7th terrorist attacks and have been apparently helping Hamas for a long period of time.
	You know, how about we just get out of all of these globalist organizations?
	And I mean all of them.
	Give the United Nations, let China have them, let Russia have them.
	Let them deal with the traffic problems.
	Let them fund the United Nations.
	Why are we giving them $7 billion plus more a year?
	Why are we supporting the WHO?
	Why are we supporting the WEF?
	Why are we the sucker nation that goes into the Paris Accords, but it's an agreement that allows China and India to be developing nations or have developing nations status so they don't have to pay the freight like we do?
	I mean, it just drives me insane.
	But, you know, it's beyond time that America really rethink our funding for all of these groups.
	New York Post even had an editorial about this today.
	You know, they employ actual Hamas terrorists at the UN.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, Donald Trump wasn't funding this particular part of the UN, and Joe Biden brought it back.
	Donald Trump got us out of the Paris Accords.
	Joe Biden got us right back in.
	Donald Trump put sanctions on Iran, driving them into bankruptcy, and they were working, and you saw unrest beginning to spread all across the country.
	And Joe Biden comes in and turns a blind eye to the sanctions and allows them to make money and facilitates them selling oil, some $80 billion to China alone.
	And now the mullahs in Iran are rich again, meaning they can spend money on their nuclear program, fomenting more terror as the number one state sponsor of terror.
	You have a secretary general supporting Hamas, demanding an end to attacks on the terror group that started a war against Israel.
	Really?
	Why are we a part of this organization?
	It makes no sense.
	You know, it's Court of Justice claims Israel is a possible perpetrator of genocide, that they aided and abetted mass murderers, demonized an innocent democracy, Israel.
	They don't even know who the real victim of terror is.
	Why are we funding this?
	You know, and it's not just the 13 UN relief and work staffers that took part in the massacre on October the 7th, including at least nine actual Hamas terrorists.
	As UN watches, you know, Hillar Naur notes that, you know, this group, the UNRWA's ostensible mission is to provide social services for refugees of the Arab 1948 war against Israel is a front.
	Actual refugees are handled by the UN's High Commission for Refugees.
	And Joe Biden, you know, we put a whopping $750 million in their coffers.
	And here's AOC.
	You know, you got to ask, whose side is she on in this for crying out loud?
	You know, she's outraged that the Biden administration suspended money to the funding of this UN agency after they discovered their workers were participants in the October 7th terrorist attacks of Hamas against Israel.
	That is the definition of insanity.
	Anyway, so the White House defends, I mean, they always get there a day late and a dollar short.
	Trump had the right policy on the borders.
	That's why this whole border argument that they need legislation is a crock, as we went through in great specificity and detail on this program yesterday.
	In the first hundred days that Joe Biden was president, he rescinded every policy of Donald Trump's Mexico policy, every border policy that was working.
	He rescinded all of them.
	And if he wants to fix the border, which he doesn't, he should stop lecturing Congress because everything that he rescinded, he did with a stroke of a pen, with another stroke of a pen, he can reinstate the policies that were working.
	Not that complicated.
	John Kirby, by the way, calling for a thorough investigation into Israel's terrorism allegations against UNRWA employees on Monday.
	I don't really care what John Kirby has to say.
	How about we are not funding you if you're supporting and funding terrorism?
	How about we start there?
	And you know the group CARE, the Council on American Islamic Relations?
	Yeah, apparently Nihad Awad, according to a report out today, is a supporter of what happened on October the 7th, demanding the U.S. restore funding to the U.N.
	No, we shouldn't give the U.N. a single red cent.
	Not one penny goes to the U.N. Nothing.
	Zero.
	Zip.
	And that goes for the WEF, the WHO.
	That goes for the para climate accords.
	That goes for everything.
	That money belongs in your pocket.
	Anyway, rightly, House Republicans, they want to ban funding for this agency.
	He's actually given, Joe Biden has actually given over a billion dollars to the UN agency that helped Hamas massacre Israelis.
	That was a report today in the Daily Caller.
	Remember, it was Donald Trump that canceled all their funding in 2018.
	And when you look at donor records from the UN, here's what they found, that the United States is the single largest donor to the Palestinian people, having contributed more than $1 billion to the UNRWA since 2021.
	Well, where do you think the money, what was that money supposed to be spent on?
	Schools, infrastructure, hospitals?
	What did they spend it on?
	Oh, terror tunnels, you know, a 350-mile-wide network of tunnels to kill Israelis and foment terror in Israel and bring terror to Israel.
	Now the White House is defending the UN Relief Agency.
	Let's not impugn the good work of a whole agency because of the potential bad actions here by a small number.
	No, that's a pretty large number.
	That's pretty unbelievable to me.
	And then that brings us now to the issue of Iran.
	And this might very well be one of the, if not the most consequential decisions of Joe Biden's presidency.
	What is Joe going to do?
	How is he going to respond?
	By the way, only nearly 200 attacks late because all these other attacks in Iraq and Syria have been done by Iranian proxies.
	Everybody's known that the entire time.
	That's not a surprise.
	I mean, be it Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, the Houthi rebels, all of them are being funded by Iran, all of them.
	Anyway, so what's Joe going to do?
	I mean, is it going to be the typical Joe Biden, not meaningful pinprick response and hit an empty warehouse again?
	You know, which are they just going to botch it up altogether?
	Senior military leaders have briefed Biden on the potential targets.
	Tony Blinken is saying that the Middle East has not been this dangerous since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
	The Biden administration's terrible track record of communicating with the American people continues.
	White House says there's no scheduled remarks to address the attack.
	Well, we lost three Americans and we have over 40 others injured.
	Maybe that's a time when we need to hear from a president.
	Well, we're going to respond.
	What does that mean we're going to respond?
	Well, you responded to previous attacks and you hit empty warehouses.
	That's not a response.
	That's not a proportional response.
	Now, if you really want to show the world that you mean business, maybe your response would be taking out their refineries.
	Maybe after nearly 200 attacks against U.S. soldiers abroad, maybe it would warrant something of that magnitude.
	Now, Hannity, you're advocating for another foreign conflict and extending.
	No, I'm not.
	But I'm also saying that no country on the face of this earth has the right to be firing at and killing and injuring Americans abroad because that's what they're doing.
	And the reason that they're doing it is because Joe Biden is nothing more than an appeaser in chief and he is weak.
	Now, it gets a little scary because I don't actually think the Mullows in Iran, being as radical as they are, are actually going to be too intimidated by mutually assured destruction.
	But according to the United Nations weapons inspector that kept track of Iraq's nuclear weapons program in 2003, this guy actually believes Iran now has the capacity to produce nuclear weapons pretty much any time that the Mullows give a green light.
	Alarming reports about Iran moving at an astonishing fast pace to possess a nuclear weapon have emerged since last month in December.
	Reuters reported that a confidential IAEA report released to member states said it had increased its production of highly enriched uranium, reversing a previous output reduction from mid-2023.
	In a report that's titled How Quickly Could Iran Make a Nuclear Weapon Today, former UN weapons inspector David Albright contended, quote, Iran can quickly make enough weapon-grade uranium for many nuclear weapons, something it could not do in 2003.
	He said Iran has a crash nuclear weapons program and then it changed to a more dispersed nuclear weapons effort.
	And today Iran would need only about a week to produce enough enriched uranium for its first nuclear weapon.
	It could have enough weapon-grade uranium for six weapons in a month.
	After five months of producing weapon-grade uranium, it could have enough for 12 nuclear weapons.
	Not good.
	Now, there's going to be no schedule remarks.
	There's going to be no response.
	But all of this is predictable.
	I mean, this is the sad part of this.
	We could have saved the lives of all of these soldiers.
	What is going on in the Biden White House?
	What is going on with our military?
	And that's part of my problem.
	I don't have faith in Joe Biden as commander-in-chief to make the right decision.
	I don't think he has the wherewithal to pull off what would really need to be done here, like taking out their refineries.
	If you really want to go big, get an alliance that Trump had, you know, rebuild the alliance of Jordan, Egypt, the Saudis, the Emirates, and Israel and the United States.
	Why don't they all just pledge that we can't live in a part of the world with a nuclear-armed Iran?
	It is an existential threat to our very existence.
	Maybe they should all just agree, yeah, let's take these nuclear sites out.
	I'm not saying it.
	I'm not for a full-fledged war.
	But if you, you know, A square, B square, C square this out, radical mullahs that think nothing of dying, they think it brings you martyrdom, married to nuclear weapons.
	Well, that equals the potential for a modern-day Holocaust.
	You know, since October, there have been, you know, at least 165 attacks carried out on U.S. forces.
	Why would anyone be surprised that people were killed this weekend?
	How many more times do American troops need to be targeted before this president does something significant?
	I'm not looking to get into a long, protracted conflict with Iran or in that region of the world, but our military technology has become way more sophisticated, and we have the ability now to push buttons in an office building somewhere in the United States where it doesn't matter and that we could hit with pinpoint accuracy any target that we want to hit.
	You know, former President Trump is right.
	This brazen attack on the U.S., another horrific and tragic consequence of Joe Biden's weakness and surrender.
	His foreign policy is that of appeasement.
	You know, Biden had an opportunity to send a strong message to Iran.
	What has he been doing except kissing their asses since he became president?
	You know, turning a blind eye and letting the mullahs in Iran get rich again, selling oil in spite of sanctions that we had in place that were working under Donald Trump.
	You know, he's a $6 billion ransom deal for hostages, a $10 billion waiver so that they can get paid for electricity and energy that they're providing Iraq.
	Why are we letting the mullahs in Iran get rich?
	Why?
	Because then that creates more political stability for them.
	It also gives them money to foment more terror and fight more proxy wars, which is exactly what they've been doing.
	This is pretty much par for the course with Joe Biden.
	The strategy of appeasement is not going to work.
	And Biden's weakness is the reason that Iran is so emboldened.
	It's the reason why the Houdis didn't care after his pinprick strike against them.
	And they started going targeting American flagships from that day forward.
	All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-Sean, our number.
	So we'll see what's Joe's response going to be.
	He faces pressure over the constant Iranian proxy attacks.
	Let's be clear.
	They're not just, this is Iran fomenting terror.
	This is what they do.
	This is why it was critical that Trump killed Soleimani.
	We didn't hear a lot from Iran during the Trump years.
	Like, we didn't hear a lot from Russia or China during those years.
	Putin didn't move on Ukraine.
	China wasn't threatening Taiwan when Trump was president.
	North Korea, what did Donald Trump give Kim Jong-un, little rocket man?
	He gave him his time.
	That's it.
	Biden is apparently slammed after John Kirby refused to say that he would attend the Dover Air Force base for the dignified transfer of the three U.S. soldiers killed in Jordan.
	Wow.
	That would be a slap in the face, or he'd be just there watching, you know, checking his watch the whole time.
	But, you know, Biden's appeasement of Iran has cost lives now, and it's putting lots of American lives at risk.
	And this could have been prevented after the first attack against U.S. soldiers.
	Why didn't he react?
	The mission of saving America as we return to the Sean Hannity Show.
	Linda, I know you're a recent convert to football.
	Indeed.
	The Kansas City game, the AFC championship game had 55-plus million people watching that game.
	The NFC game had over 50 million people.
	I mean, these are massive numbers for a championship game that you don't see very often.
	I got to be honest, though.
	I mean, you know, between the two, I mean, I'm sure you agree.
	Lions 49ers was a much better game.
	What a nail biter.
	I'd like both games.
	I did.
	I know.
	But yeah, definitely the 49er game was much closer.
	I mean, third quarter, I was like 24-24, and then they had the field goal.
	I'm like, oh, my God, you got to be kidding me.
	Listen, I'll be honest.
	I thought that the Ravens were going to be the team to beat this year after your Eagles fell apart.
	Oh, my God.
	Terrible.
	It was a disaster the end of this season.
	I know they had a pivot in midseason, and they decided to take it down to zero.
	It was a disaster to Alan Hurts.
	Forget about it.
	I can't believe you're talking football.
	I know.
	It's a wonderful thing.
	Now I am a full and well-rounded human being.
	Just a year ago, I'd say to Linda, Linda, what does it mean to, you know, march down the field, no timeouts, you're on your own 20, two minutes to go, and you got to cross the plane and kick the extra point to win the game.
	What does that mean?
	Did you have any idea what any of that meant?
	No.
	I do now, but I will tell you a year ago I didn't.
	And even more so, I will tell you that now I know it means even more than that.
	It means a crowd of raging fans screaming at you if you don't do it and a coach giving you a look of, hmm, you may sit out for the next year if you don't do this.
	There's so much motion and like just madness on the field.
	Honestly, I don't know how they do it.
	That's a crazy job.
	Anyway, this dovetails perfectly into, you know, this Taylor Swift-Travis Kelsey relationship, I mean, it is just, some people just hate it.
	Like hardcore NFL fans, they can't take it anymore.
	They're done.
	And then you've got other people.
	You know, I think one of the reasons you have these record numbers, you know, Travis Kelsey's jersey sales have gone up a whopping 400% since he started dating Taylor Swift, which is good for him and good for her.
	You know, I don't know why people feel compelled to just, they just obsessively want to hate people for whatever reason.
	I have no reason to hate Taylor Swift or Travis Kelsey.
	None at all.
	Do I know that he's Mr. Pfizer?
	Yeah, I know he's Mr. Pfizer.
	Do I agree with him?
	No, I don't.
	Do I agree with Taylor and her past political positions?
	Not really.
	Are there things that I admire about both of them?
	Yeah, he's one of the best wide receiver.
	I'm sorry, best tight ends in the history of the NFL.
	No doubt about it.
	Is Taylor Swift like one of the most successful solo acts ever in history?
	Yeah, the money speaks for itself.
	But she writes her own songs.
	She's great to her fans.
	She does 40, 45 song concerts, which is a lot.
	She gives big bonuses to the people that do the heavy lifting behind the scenes for her shows.
	And I think she seems very generous and nice.
	Now, people saying, Hannity, why are you supporting this liberal?
	I'm not supporting the liberal.
	I'm not looking to a football player, and I'm not looking to a pop star for my political views.
	I already have them.
	And there's all this speculation.
	Joe Biden is going to be reaching out and trying to get Taylor Swift to endorse him.
	Now, the only thing I would say to Taylor Swift, if this message ever got back to her and Travis Kelsey, I'd say the same thing to both of them.
	Take a look at the images of Joe creepy Joe Biden.
	I'll be glad to send it to him if someone gives me the proper text that I can text it to.
	But take a look at that.
	And then take a look at Joe Biden and went back in time, and there was an article in the Washington Examiner about, and the headline was why Taylor Swift has a legitimate beef with George Soros' family.
	That's the headline.
	And anyway, she called out this family.
	Now, I just say this because if Taylor wants to support the Democrats, well, probably the biggest supporter of Democratic causes and radical Democratic policies and views and groups is George Soros.
	It's pretty well chronicled.
	She says, I want to thank my fans for making me aware that my former record label is putting out an album of live performances of mine tonight.
	She said that she posted in a pretty heated Instagram story post.
	This recording is from a 2008 radio show performance I did when I was 18.
	Big Machine has listed the date as a 2017 release, but they are actually releasing it tonight at midnight.
	I'm always honest with you guys about this stuff.
	I just wanted to tell you that this release is not approved by me.
	Looks like, I don't know, Scooter Braun is, I guess, the person that was the face of buying up her catalog, has seen the latest balance sheets and realizing that paying $330 million for my music wasn't exactly a wise choice, and they need money.
	And then she goes on to say, you know, that I like Scooter Braun and their financial backers, 23 Capital, Alex Soros, and the Soros family and the Carlisle group, that they have seen the latest balance sheets and they realize the $330 million for my music.
	So if this big endorsement that, you know, Joe Biden is looking to secure, and maybe he will secure, I have no idea.
	Will it impact the election?
	I mean, she seems to have a lot of influence when it comes to merchandise sales for Travis Kelsey.
	She seems to have a really, really dedicated and loyal following.
	I applaud her success.
	I would just say that maybe there might be things like, for example, I'm sure we could learn a lot from Taylor Swift about the music business.
	I'm not involved in the music business.
	What do I know about the music business?
	I think it was pretty crappy and pretty cruel of people to buy out her catalog and not give her an opportunity to buy it herself.
	She wanted an opportunity to buy it back herself.
	If somebody came, I once had an instance.
	I was buying a home.
	I never told the story on the air.
	And I was in contract to buy this house.
	And anyway, long story short, the seller has seller's regret, or the wife of the seller has seller's regret.
	Gets in touch with people I know that got in touch with me.
	I'm under no legal obligation at all whatsoever to say that the deal doesn't go forward.
	And in a very, very nice, pleasant letter, the woman said that she felt she made a mistake and would hope that maybe I'd consider not buying the home from them.
	I had every legal right to keep the home.
	What do you think I did, Linda?
	What's the right thing to do in that situation?
	You are a very giving person, so I would assume that you.
	And you already know what I did.
	I know.
	But you can say it.
	You can tell the audience.
	No, I mean, I said, I'm not going to take away, if it means that much to you, it's not that important to me.
	That's what I said.
	And by the way, it would have been a great investment.
	But I think the problem here is, and I think it's an important one, is, you know, the Swifties are crazy and they love their Taylor Swifts and they love her music.
	And there are a lot of people that are able to dissect people's political and outspoken beliefs from their music and their movies and all the things.
	I personally am not one of those people.
	I don't think a lot of other people are as well.
	You're better at it than most.
	But for me, when Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift went to a Gaza fundraiser in December to give money to Gaza, I'm like, I'm out.
	Thank you.
	No, thank you.
	That's just gross.
	I honestly don't think they know.
	That's my honest answer.
	That's right.
	So that's why they should be quiet and not use their influence in things they know nothing about.
	I don't think she knows a lot about politics.
	I mean, listen, she's certainly smart enough to know a lot about how she feels about social issues.
	I know she's been outspoken about LGBTQ issues, et cetera, et cetera.
	But I look at this case and here you got this old man that is frankly doesn't even know that today is Tuesday and she's going to end up supporting him.
	Why?
	Because she just doesn't like Donald Trump.
	And my question to anybody is, what do you know about this person?
	If you're going to use the best way to go.
	That's not why she's supporting him.
	She's supporting him because it's cool.
	She's supporting him because that's what all of her other liberal celebrity friends are doing.
	That's why she's doing it.
	Tell me what part of supporting Joe Biden is cool?
	It's not cool at all.
	At the end of the day, none of what's happening is cool.
	It's just that the woke ideology has infected many celebrities.
	And instead of standing up and saying, like a John Rich would do, like, ah, yeah, sorry.
	Earth to God, folks, this is off.
	This is weird, you know?
	Or it's just too much, you know?
	And they're not willing to do that.
	They would much rather be liked and go along to get along.
	Back to the issues.
	Oil sanctions, by the way, can't be undermined without a customer.
	By the way, a report out today, that's where China comes in.
	This is how little respect is, you have the spy balloon.
	You have the aggressive actions against our fighter jets and international airspace.
	We have hostile maneuvers against our Navy and international waterways, hostile aggression against Taiwan, constant talk of reunification, unfair trade practices, intellectual property theft.
	No, nothing happens to China.
	They can get away with anything.
	And it turns out they've imported over $80 billion from Iran in terms of oil.
	Well, guess what that is?
	That's money so they can foment more terror.
	You know, the former head of CENTCOM saying, we're letting people get away with attacking our troops.
	And now Joe Biden's threatened to respond.
	Let's see what this response ends up being because I don't think it's going to be effective or he's just going to blow it.
	One or the other.
	That's how little confidence I have in him and in his team.
	I do have confidence in many of our military personnel, not Joe, as the commander-in-chief.
	By the way, House Republicans are going to hold a hearing on impeaching Mayorkas.
	And today's hearing is another step towards a full impeachment vote.
	We'll see if that happens.
	We don't know what shutting the border down means exactly.
	Well, that was actually said by Corrine Jean-Pierre.
	You don't know what shutting down the border means exactly?
	Well, she means that it is impervious to people that don't respect our laws, our borders, and our sovereignty.
	Why is that hard?
	By the way, thank God all these Republican governors have supported Abbott.
	You know, Joe's Friday deadline has come and gone.
	And thank God the Border Patrol, Federal Border Patrol, has said they support all of the actions of the Texas National Guard.
	That was them signaling they are not going to get in a confrontation with the Texas National Guard because they actually recognize a simple truth, which is they're all on the same team, which is to secure the border.
	Maybe if Joe would get his ass down there or his borders are would get her ass down there, maybe they'd actually see it for themselves.
	Been down there over 15 times myself over the years.
	I might make a trip down there again.
	But anyway, everybody sees the consequences of all this.
	You know, this open border is going to lead to some disaster.
	I pray to God I'm wrong.
	I don't think I'm wrong.
	It's going to be a disaster.
	You know, look at what's happening in our towns and our cities.
	Look at the cost.
	10 million unvetted, illegal Joe Biden immigrants.
	I mean, it's insane.
	By the way, one terrorist was caught illegally crossing the border, was allowed to roam free for nearly a year.
	According to a memo, federal authorities caught a terrorist at the southern border, released him into the country, roamed freely for nearly a year, then got arrested in Minnesota only days ago, according to an internal federal memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
	The unnamed individual, who the memo only identifies as a member of the Somali terror group Al-Shabaab, was released shortly after being caught illegally crossing into the southern border in San Yosidro in California.
	According to the memo, the terrorist screening deemed him a mismatch after running his name through the terror watch list.
	Well, it wasn't a mismatch.
	Unbelievable.
	And one ex-FBI official warning Biden's open border could lead to the greatest, you know, could lead to a 10-7, meaning October 7th, Israel-style attack, the greatest risk in our lifetime.
	Rasmussen, more than two-thirds of likely voters back Texas with its razor wire showdown with the White House.
	Video shows dozens of illegal immigrants delivered to the border before entering the U.S. illegally.
	But I'll tell you this, Texas Governor Abbott sends a stark message to sanctuary cities.
	And anyway, they've been embroiled in this fight.
	He's going to keep sending them to sanctuary states and cities.
	Gavin Newsom, get ready.
	You know, there's going to be people on your doorstep, but you did promise them free health care, which I give you a lot of credit for.
	If you want all the illegal immigrants in California, you go for it.
	New York, same thing.
	They were all open arms until the cost came in.
	Now they're begging the federal government for billions.
	All right, I've been talking for months now about the Knox entry system, how law enforcement gains access to schools during hostile events, especially when seconds matter.
	And in fact, more than 200 municipalities now currently trust the Knox entry system to provide secure and efficient means to get access where and when they need it.
	Now businesses and airports, they have joined schools, law enforcement, fire departments, they're all using the Knox entry to manage first responder access and or authorize activity to better protect and monitor critical assets.
	Now, Knox Entry allows you to develop customized access strategy complete with an audit trail, rapid flexibility.

	We'll get to some political news.
	Nikki Haley barnstorming the country, telling supporters she's going to win South Carolina, currently down real clear politics average by 31.
	If that's not bad enough, the same poll shows that she is losing to Trump among Republican voters nationwide by whopping 57 points.
	Chris Sununu, the governor of New Hampshire, is doubling down on his belief that Nikki Haley is surging.

	If you look at the prediction, the market gives Donald Trump 94% chance of securing the GOP nomination and a 55% chance of beating Joe Biden.
	That's not exactly high enough for me.
	All right, when we come back, governors around the country supporting Governor Abbott.
	We'll have the very latest and much more straight ahead.
