Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, Deuce Roundup and Information Overload Hour.
Toll-free our number is 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I can't take the lying that is never ending nonstop.
You know, it's just a flurry of lies.
We've we've gone over the history of the Biden administration and their appeasement of Iran.
We we went back to the Obama Biden administration.
Remember, you know, estimates on the amount of money that became available with the Iranian deal of Obama and Biden with the Iran that that was 150 billion dollars.
We talked at length about the 400 million, you know, in a cargo plane and cash and other currency dumped on their tarmac and how insane this is.
We talked a lot about how important it was that Donald Trump stepped up as president and Donald Trump stopped the Iranians from being able to sell their oil on the world market.
And those sanctions had real, real impact on the Iranians, where we were beginning to see the early signs of people rising up against this regime.
Joe Biden becomes president starting in March of 2021.
He's importing sixty-six thousand barrels of oil a day under under Joe Biden.
You know, would the president welcome Iranian oil into the U.S.?
Well, we'll we'll we'll talk about that if we get to that point.
That was in February.
By March, they were importing it.
Then of course, Joe wanted to, you know, transfer uh and and basically pay ransom of six billion dollars that he had freed up for Iran, and then he gave a waiver to the Iranians to get uh ten billion dollars in payments from the Iraqis for electricity,
and then the worst thing that he did is he turned a blind eye and allowed the Iranians, in spite of the sanctions on them, to go ahead and and produce oil, resulting in anywhere from uh eighty billion to a hundred billion dollars.
Now, what does that money do for the Iranians?
Well, that number one strengthens their ability to to to be an oppressive regime.
It allows them to fund these proxy wars, whether it's Hezbollah in the north out of Lebanon or Hamas in the south out of Gaza or the Hoody rebels.
It lets them do all of this.
None of this would happen.
And then buy weapons that they're now providing to Russia.
Now Russia's reciprocating by by showing military support and military aid to Iran as they, you know, they they took this new unprecedented step in escalation and attacking Israel directly on Saturday night.
You know, why do you think Biden has been calling for an immediate ceasefire after October 7th?
Why doesn't Biden have the moral clarity and and and sense to understand that radical Islamists need to be defeated?
Why wouldn't this country support Israel in their war on terrorism?
Why would Joe Biden make Israel the enemy in this in this pri with in this case?
Because his his entire party has been radicalized, and they sympathize with the wrong people here.
And as a result, Joe Biden, by saying, Well, we're not going to be with you if you return fire against Iran.
He's basically emboldening the Iranians to do whatever the hell they want to Israel at any point that they want.
What is wrong with him?
You know, Biden administration waiving sanctions on Iranian civilian nuclear activities when asked to make a comment on the threat of Iran attacking Israel, his one big answer.
Don't.
Hey, Joe, don't didn't work.
They did.
And you saw the the raining rockets fired, cruise missiles, and drone attacks.
At what point do you stand on the right side of history?
Not just Joe, it's the entire Democratic Party.
Chuck Schumer calling for new elections as Israel is now, you know, reeling and battling back after the worst terror attack in their history.
Nancy Pelosi, you know, she has to weigh in as well.
Why why keep Nancy Pelosi out of it?
She doesn't even want Biden to sell weapons to Israel, which which would render them, you know, helpless again in this war against terrorism that they have to engage in.
And now the modern extreme radicalized Democratic Party, though the entire Democratic Party basically has become the squad.
You know, Congresswoman Shale uh Talib posting videos accusing Biden of supporting genocide.
All Biden cares about here is he is looking at his eroding base.
He sees it with African Americans, with Hispanic Americans, young people, suburban women.
And he's also seeing it in massive numbers by the radicals, for example, out of Dearborn in Michigan, among them, some of them chanting death to Israel, death to America, and they saw the numbers in the Democratic presidential primary, and 18.9% of voters are uncommitted.
They didn't vote for Joe Biden over this issue.
Over a hundred thousand people in total out of Michigan.
So Joe Biden, rather than put principal first, has abandoned our number one ally.
That's what's going on here.
All right, let's get back to our phones.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh let us say hi to Jeff in Michigan.
Hey Jeff, how are you?
What the hell happened to your state?
Man, I wish I knew.
Uh other than the children are in the office, and we really need to get some adults back up here.
Um, as you were just saying with the chance that were going on down in Detroit, which just sickened me that people in America would be chanting death to Israel, death to America.
America really needs to open its eyes and start paying attention and looking at the bigger picture.
You know, back in January, the Chinese nationalists got pulled over with over a hundred mice in the trunk of the car, and thank the good Lord above that the police officers did their job and tracked them down and figured out what was going on because with no bail laws, the only law they committed, crime they committed was driving with no no identification, no license and stuff.
But they went to a bio lab.
I I couldn't stress this enough for people to start opening their eyes and paying attention.
An underground biolab, totally funded by the Chinese government, Xi Jinping was in California in January.
Do you think he went and visited the biolab?
Probably did.
Well, I can tell you right now, the fact that American money was going to the Wuhan Virology lab, NIH money funneled through the Eco Health Alliance, right into a lab that they knew was involved to gain a function research.
Uh a lab that they knew that was involved with coronavirus research.
Uh and by the way, it's continuing today, and we were all lied to at the highest levels.
Read uh read Senator Rand Paul's book about Dr. Fauci.
It is eye-opening.
I forgot to mention in my little rant there that you know, the Biden administration, they're just full of liars.
The border's secure, the border is safe, the borders closed, blah, blah, blah.
You know, it's Trump's fault that this is all happening in the Middle East.
Uh, Donald Trump is responsible for my bad economic policies and inflation.
Uh, John Kirby actually denied knowing about the the billions and billions of dollars that were unfrozen for the Iranian leaders.
Listen.
Now that we know that the Iranians do not listen to President Biden's public warning.
Is there any regret here about unfreezing billions of dollars for Iranian leaders during the president's administration?
What unfreezing are you talking about?
He unfroze billions of dollars.
Iranian leaders?
Yeah.
Really?
I don't think so.
Okay, so first of all.
It's for humanitarian purposes, but doesn't that you don't believe me?
Well, doesn't that free up money for them to spend on other stuff?
Where do you get the money for an unprecedented number of munitions to fire at Israel?
So, first of all, I'm betting if they're sitting in Tehran, they're taking it seriously when President Biden says he's going to defend Israel.
We put skin in the game, a whole heck of a lot of it, and knocked almost everything out of the sky.
So I'm betting they're taking it pretty seriously.
And as for this uh the this unfreezing, none of that fund, none of those funds, funds set up in an account, by the way, by the previous administration, goes directly to the Supreme Leader of the IRGC, can only be used for humanitarian purposes, and we're watching that account very, very closely to make sure that that's what happens.
Joining us now, Mossab Hassan Yousef, a Palestinian author of the upcoming book.
It's going to be out in August from Hamas to America, my story of defying terror, facing the unimaginable, and finding redemption in the land of opportunity.
Anyway, his father was one of the founders of Hamas, correct?
That's correct.
And and your life took you on a very interesting journey.
And that is where at one point you found yourself as a Hamas terrorist.
What ch what changed you?
Well, you know, this is a long journey of transformation.
You know, today I'm an American, I'm an American citizen, and uh I abide by the uh American laws and the American constitution.
Uh that was my ask.
Did you feel guilty being part of a terrorist organization?
Listen, it doesn't need lawful intelligence to know that violence is a good end and raping, killing, torturing, abusing uh children, uh using human fields, uh blowing up buses, uh killing people indiscriminately does not require genius to know that it's wrong.
Uh most people most people are afraid to pay the price to do the right thing.
They prefer to stay in their darkness.
And I choose not to stay in the darkness, I fought.
And in the in the process I lost uh my family, I lost everything.
But this doesn't mean uh that uh I lost the the war because the final thing is uh uh how do we serve serve humanity, not only serve the tribe and try to uh uh compromise uh our truth for the sake of the family, for the sake of the society?
Isn't this what everybody is doing?
Well, but the problem is is that you have, for example, in in Gaza from the earliest ages, young children are indoctrinated to quote hate the Jews and kill Israelis, and and once that indoctrination takes hold, there's very little free thinking that that takes place in the minds of people that that have been brainwashed.
Uh obviously you are able to overcome your indoctrination.
What do you think the difference was?
Why don't more people overcome it like you did?
Yes, it's uh it's a rigid conditioning.
Uh it's meant for me to die, to die uh to my uh false identities.
Uh you know, I was born free.
I was not born a Muslim, I was not born a Palestinian, I was born free.
Children are just children.
But then uh the uh mullahs and the sheikhs, the imams, the religious authorities, the politicians conspire against the children, and they used us in the worst possible way.
Uh they they wanted us to die uh to uh to serve their political agendas, and they're still doing this until now, and this is part of my anger, this is part of my frustration when I see the death of the children in Gaza, and there they are only Palestinian uh criminals.
Uh they are con artists, they have been exploiting what's so-called revolution by the name of occupation, by the name of colonialism, by the name of resistance.
They have all these f fancy uh terminology, and their goal is only to get rich, to get power at the expense of children at the expense of uh generations.
They have been playing this for seventy years since Yasir Arafat and all the foreign entities um taken advantage of Let me ask you this.
What should Israel's goal be in their battle with Hamas and Iran?
Should their battle be victory?
Should their battle be restraint?
What do you say?
We only have about a minute.
Look, Israel is not alone in this fight.
I am with Israel in this fight.
And uh it's a vow that we will not retreat until Hamas is defeated, until Hamas is eradicated.
Now, Iran is the root cause of this problem.
The Islamic regime of Iran.
They are not only uh causing uh regional trouble, they want global chaos, they want to change the world order, they want to turn it into an Islamic uh revolution, and this is not acceptable.
Uh Israel uh cannot finish this job alone.
We need we need to give Israel the support.
The United States need to get on board full power.
You know, our president is weak.
Our president is weak and is not taking a firm stand to tell Iran what the heck are you doing?
They just launched hundreds of missiles.
Israel is a very tiny country.
And what are we doing about this?
The uh adequate response is to hit the Iranian nuclear program now.
We cannot allow any Islamic regime to attain uh uh a nuclear power.
It would be a disaster, it's already a disaster.
We cannot give them our technology, our intellectual property, then we give them uh an a nuclear weapon.
This regime is irresponsible, and it's not only Israel's responsibility to stand against all the evil of the Middle East.
Israel is fighting on how many fronts in the north, in the south, in the and such a tiny small nation on its own.
And what is the what is the responsibility of the superpower, the president of the superpower?
He's he he thinks that he's showing tolerance, but on the other side, it's perceived as weakness.
This is what I've been saying for 20 years, that Middle Easterners don't understand tolerance.
They only understand the language of the sword.
And if you show tolerance, they think it's weakness.
This is their mentality.
They don't think like Westerners.
We need to understand their mentality.
I couldn't say it any better.
Mossab Hassan Youssef, uh son of Hamas.
What if his father his father was one of the founders of Hamas?
Look forward to your new book and having you back soon.
Thank you, sir.
All right.

Alright, 800-941 Sean is our number.
Let's check in with Sean in Mississippi.
What's up, Sean?
A trucker.
And to every trucker out there, uh Breaker 19, thank you for all you're doing because our store shelves would be pretty bare and empty without y'all working so hard.
How are you doing?
I'm good, sir.
Thank you for taking my call.
By the way, are you looking forward to the Biden mandate for an al uh for an electric rig?
Absolutely not.
Yeah, there's not one trucker I know that wants that.
No, we have trouble finding a parking spot.
I could only imagine the trouble we would have trying to find a charging station for him.
That's such a good point.
You know what's amazing, and most people don't know this, and you can confirm this is true because I have friends in the trucking business.
For example, let's say your your truck has 300,000, 350, 350,000 miles on it.
Now, true or false, do you go out and buy a new rig, or is it often the case that truckers will will bring their their truck in for service, they'll get a loaner in the meantime, and they strip down the the they strip the truck down of the chassis.
They basically rebuild the truck from the bottom up.
You have a brand new truck with a brand new engine with a with an updated chassis, updated, you know, tr interior, Uh and new tires and everything in between, new brakes, and you're good to go for another three, four hundred thousand miles.
Is that true?
Yes, sir, it is, absolutely.
And it's a lot cheaper than buying a new rig, right?
Oh, a a whole lot cheaper.
Right.
Anyway, what's on your mind today?
Glad you called.
Thanks for what you do.
And I appreciate you taking my call.
But you know, I wanted to touch on the border crisis.
You know, all the illegal immigrants coming over to our country.
I'm just kind of nervous that, you know, with you saying it's not a matter of if, but when we get hit with a terrorist attack, to me, their perfect opportunity would be you to use these 18 wheelers because you see so many people not being able to speak English, I'm trying to put this in a nice way, not being able to speak English from those countries over here driving 18 wheelers, and look how much stuff they could pack into it.
They get to see places that make us vulnerable.
And that's my concern with our border being weak like it is.
So you're basically saying if they loaded up an 18 wheeler with, you know, really powerful weapons, uh, that that could create a lot of damage and and chaos, correct?
Absolutely.
I mean, if any you're a hundred percent right.
Now, there are for example in New York, many people don't know this.
I wouldn't disclose it if it wasn't already public, but I know people that have gotten like uh a medical exam where they're you know, some type of they shoot 'em with radio l radiology die.
I I don't know the whole process, whatever.
But they have radioactive material in them, and they have these monitors throughout the city of New York that instantly pick them up and police are like stopping people on the street and like, you know, wondering if they have some type of some type of radiology device that that could bring damage, and they're saying, well, I just got back from the doctor, what are you talking about?
Um, but at least that technology exists for some level of defense.
Now, with that said, uh, there are a whole lot of things you can do.
What did we learn with what happened in the Oklahoma City bombing?
You know, a bunch of fertilizer uh and fuel uh caused an awful lot of damage, didn't it?
It did, and it only took 19 terrorists to bring us to our knees on 91.
That's a great point.
And and I'm not wrong in my prediction that there are terror cells in this country that are plotting, planning, and scheming.
They will attack us.
We're gonna get hit, and we're gonna get hit probably way harder than you think.
Absolutely, and I agree with you on that, and I I hope I'm like you, I hope that we're both wrong that it don't happen, but it's it's bound to happen.
With the government that we have in here now, it it's bound to happen.
And fortunately, the risk is much higher.
That's why two hundred and two days from now matters an awful lot.
I don't care who you are.
And Republicans, I'll say it again, and I know you you think I'm a broken record, and I I'm okay with that.
And that is please do not resist voting early, voting by mail.
Please do not resist volunteering.
Please, you know, do everything you can now.
So you don't wake up the morning after the night before election day and wish you had done more.
Get involved now.
They need your help.
All right, my friend.
Listen, God speed on the road.
Stay safe, okay?
All right, thank you, sir.
There's a lot of a lot of jackasses that can't drive on the road.
I deal with them all the time.
Uh anyway, back to our phone.
Sean is number Sean number two.
This one is in North Carolina.
I guess I'm Sean number three today.
Anyway, Sean, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, how we go on.
Uh, thanks for taking my call.
What's going on?
Uh no, I just wanted to bring up uh issue about Arab voters.
Uh, my wife uh is from Iraq.
We've been married for eight years.
And um, I can just see within the community that um many of them have uh switched their stance and will be voting for Trump.
You know, the New York Post had a front cover story about an Iranian woman uh who you know is explaining how real young people and real people in Iran think that they're they don't support this regime.
Donald Trump by Taking the the position of bankrupting Iran was working.
If Iran did not get this influx of hundreds of billions of dollars because of Biden importing their oil and and you know turning a blind eye to sanctions and of providing sanction waivers, they wouldn't have the money to be fomenting terror and the these proxy wars with the Hooty rebels and Hamas and Hezbollah and these attacks that they have been involved in now themselves against Israel.
They wouldn't be giving Putin uh military support.
Now Putin is returning the favor, giving military support.
You know, none of this would have happened.
But nobody wants to get that deep into the weeds, unfortunately, which is sad for our country.
Yeah, they're very aware of the uh the soft power policies of Democrats uh abroad, and um they're they're sick of it.
And um, eight or twelve uh mail in ballots.
Uh I didn't really want to last election, but I did.
Um what did you do with eight mailing ballots?
I signed for them as a witness signature for Oh, you you didn't do anything illegal, you signed the witness part.
Right.
And every single one of those will be Trump voters, uh, this election, and many more, and all their family, um many Arab Americans, uh Christian Arabs, uh Muslim uh Arabs.
So you were a witness of legal ballot harvesting, it sounds like the call.
Thank you.
Adam, Utah, next, Sean Hannity Show.
Hi.
Well, you can call me your uh Crown Burger buddy.
Hey guys.
By the way, just the fact that you mentioned that, and right now I'm so freaking hungry, uh, I really don't like you.
Because I love I'm only kidding.
I love Crown Burger.
You know, it's everyone makes fun of me because somebody calls from whatever city and it's like, oh, Crown Burger, oh, In and Out Burger, oh, uh so and so barbecue, oh uh whatever, or Waffle House or Cracker Barrel, or you know, all the places I love to eat that I only eat when I'm on the road, eat at when I'm on the road.
Yep.
But uh hey, my question is uh um I I'm looking for an opinion.
But uh do you think that uh uh history will record these times as the early days of World War III, why or why not?
It's a great question.
I I hope and pray the answer is no.
Um however, it would be very, very naive of me to say that.
And let me just you know, I wrote a book, I think it was back in 2004 when I published it.
It was called Deliver Us from Evil, Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism.
Liberals got mad at the title, but if you don't win the political battles, then you're gonna have the appeasement policies like we have in the case of Biden.
And if in the last century, if it's any indication of the depravity of what man's inhumanity of man can look like, then it doesn't bode well for the world situation now with war in Europe, war in the Middle East, the new axis of evil, Iran and China and Russia, uh Russia now quickly coming to Iran's defense and military aid, it seems like.
We had Mao, China, Stalin, Russia, Hitler, Germany, Mussolini, Italy, you know, you had you know Pol Pot, the killing fields, Tojo, Japan, and when you add up all the human death and destruction in that century alone,
my dad spent four years in this uh Pacific fighting in World War II, and you had it all together, the estimates are about a hundred million human beings slaughtered in the last century alone.
Now, we had World War One, we had World War II.
We know how World War II ended with war in Japan, victory over Japan.
It ended with Harry Truman launching, you know, atom bombs into Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
And and to this day, that that that decision is questioned.
I don't question it.
I think he made the right call.
Hard call, not fun, but you know, we didn't start that war.
They they attacked us at Pearl Harbor, they dragged us into it.
Uh it became inevitable that the world had to unite against Nazi Germany because of of the you know, a madman that had taken over.
Evil does exist.
I would argue that we the the regime in Iran is evil.
It's evil on the micro level, the way it treats its citizens, the way it treats women.
If you're gay or lesbian and you live in Iran, they'll they'll they won't blink an eye.
They're going to throw you off a building and kill you.
They're evil in terms of the proxy wars that they're funding and having fought in the entire region and the death and destruction all associated with it.
This attack against Israel was not make pretend it was real.
They they talk about wiping Israel off the map.
I think they believe it.
I think the ideology of convert or die is very real.
I think you have entire generations now that have been indoctrinated into this mentality that uh, you know, if if if you die is as a matter of jihad, that you know, God will Allah will rev reward you with 72 virgins is real.
People with that sick ideology exist in this world today.
So it would be really dumb, naive, and stupid of me to not believe it can happen again.
History does have this uncanny ability to repeat itself, doesn't it?
It certainly seems I let me put it another way.
I've been saying this and I mean this.
I have never been more concerned about the future of this country on an economic level than I am now.
I've never been concerned about the situation in the world as it's currently configured as I am now.
In large part, it's because we have the worst president we've ever had in our lifetime, both on domestic policy, economic policy, border policy, energy policy, and he's abdicated America's role as the leader of the free world.
In its absence, it is that void has been filled by the likes of China, Russia, and Iran, that are now I call the new axis of evil.
So the answer to your question is do I think this could escalate into World War III?
I do.
Yes, I do.
As part of that, do you think there would be some nuclear exchanges?
I I think the the idea of a tactical nuke.
I I've been reading about it all week, the possibility of tactical nukes being used in in conflict.
Yeah.
I think Putin's capable of it, I do.
I think the mullets in Iran are capable of it.
I do.
Do I think Kim Jong-un is capable of it?
I do.
Do I think President Xi's capable of it?
Probably ironically, less so he's a little bit smarter and more strategic, but I do think it's possible, yes.
It's a shame.
Yeah.
These are dangerous, chilling times.
I don't think you can write a novel on anybody like this that anyone would believe at this time, but anyway, 800-941 Sean is our number.
I wish I had more time uh to talk about this.
It's sad, but yeah, I do believe that.
Linda, you do uh disagree with anything I said.
No, not at all.
It is very sad and depressing, like so many other things these days.
Yeah, well, I'd say, you know, get to your pastor's house, even though you won't let me talk to him and pray.
Right.
That's gonna wrap things up for today.
We'll update you on day two of this uh so-called trial in in New York, which is just unbelievable to me.
Nobody in the media wants to tell you the real truth, facts around it, which just shows you how corrupt they are.
Uh, we'll have the latest also out of Israel.
We have Marco Rubio, uh, we have Kerry Kupik is gonna join us.
Uh Alan Dershwich and Greg Jarrett will be joining us together.
Larry Cudlow, Mike Huckabee, Steve Miller, all joining us.
News, I promise you're not gonna get from a very corrupt, abusively biased media mob.
Nine Eastern set you D VR, Hannity on Fox.
See you then back here tomorrow.
Thank you for making this show possible.
