How them a jail and if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
How are you seeing it?
He's not president yet.
I mean, I are you envisioning another Hitler?
Is that what you're saying?
That's exactly what I'm saying.
As a country, it's very difficult for people to believe that racism and misogyny they're just alive and well.
What a shocker that the people who see everything through the lens of race and sex see their election loss as a result of racism and sexism.
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.
Sean Hannity.
The new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
Right, news roundup information overload hour, toll free on numbers 800-941.
If you want to be a part of the program.
Now, usually when there is a transition and you have an outgoing president that knows that an incoming president has a very different plan on something as significant as a national security issue.
that president doesn't make a bold, insane move like Joe Biden made this week.
And we are seeing this unfold when it comes to Ukraine.
It seems like they want to trap Donald Trump before he ever gets into office into having a never-ending war in Europe and one that could certainly uh spread far and wide if we're not careful.
And what Joe Biden and the Biden administration decided to do is to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with U.S. provided missiles, and it could change the course of this war dramatically.
And the problem is is now Vladimir Putin is responding and threatening to use nuclear weapons if Ukraine fires American missiles into Russia.
Now, unfortunately, what this has evolved into is a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia, and we're the ones providing the weaponry.
While simultaneously, we're learning from Prime Minister Netanyahu that Wink and Tony Blinken and Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have been withholding aid and and weaponry from Israel that was attacked, the worst terror attack in their history, and they're fighting a forefront war.
They have ballistic missiles being fired out of Iran.
They have the Hoody rebels that have been firing missiles out of Yemen.
They've got Islamic jihad and Hezbollah in the north out of Lebanon that have been attacking them.
And of course, Hamas in the south.
And this is a real battle against radical Islamic terrorism, all of it funded by the number one state sponsor of terror.
Okay, so they they won't take a stand.
They don't have the moral clarity.
And I don't know what part of murder and kidnapping and rape and torture and beheadings that Harris and Biden don't seem to understand as they cater to the radical pro-Hamas wing of their party, but it is what it is.
So anyway, the Biden administration, the very Biden administration, that at the very beginning of this conflict, you know, Joe Biden was talking, well, is it a minor incursion or is it a big incursion?
The same Joe Biden that told Poland they could not give Ukraine 28 MIGs that they wanted to provide Ukraine for their defense at the beginning and the onset of this conflict.
The same Joe Biden that has put handcuffs on the Ukrainians and forced them to use money a certain way, telling them what what weapons they can use and can't use.
So now here we have a new incoming president, and now they're willing to escalate this to the point where Vladimir Putin is threatening nuclear weapons.
Listen to this report from ABC News.
Vladimir Putin has a new warning for the United States after President Biden authorized Ukraine to use long-range missiles supplied by the U.S. to strike inside Russia.
Chief foreign correspondent Ian Panel starts us off from Ukraine.
Good morning, Ian.
Yeah, good morning, George.
Nuclear saber rattling from the Kremlin This morning with Vladimir Putin appearing to threaten to use nuclear weapons if Ukraine fires American-made missiles into Russia.
The Kremlin's saying the doctrine was updated in response to what it calls the new situation.
The new Russian policy essentially authorizes the use of nuclear weapons in response to what it calls, quote, critical threats of aggression using conventional weapons.
Now remember, President Biden lifting restrictions on the attack on ballistic missiles, which are, of course, conventional weapons, essentially allowing them to be fired into Russia.
Putin has made nuclear threats before that has proved to be hollow.
A senior Ukrainian military source telling me this is blackmail, but also warning nuclear weapons are a Pandora's box that shouldn't be opened.
This move likely aimed as much at President-elect Trump, who's promising to end the war when he takes office, but it'll make that all the harder.
All right, pretty scary scenario.
Anyway, here to analyze how bad this is and how stupid this is and how dangerous this is.
Rebecca Koffler is with us, a strategic military intelligence analyst, author of Putin's playbook.
And she served as a senior official in the Defense Intelligence Agency and worked with the CIA's National Clandestine Services.
And Horace Cooper is with us, commentator, co-chair of the Black Leadership Network Project 21, author of Put Y'all Back and Change, How Biden's Policies Harm Blacks.
And it's been a best-selling book.
Welcome both of you, Rebecca.
Let's start with you.
How reckless and irresponsible and why the sudden change of heart, the guy that wouldn't allow Poland to give MIGs, the guy that said they couldn't use cluster bombs, the guy that didn't ordered Ukraine not to attack inside of Russia, now all of a sudden is is allowing them to use American missiles to fire deep inside of Putin's Russia to escalate this war.
It's absolutely deranged behavior, uh, Sean.
What Biden is doing uh is effectively putting US homeland into Putin's nuclear crosshairs.
And he's doing it either deliberately or he's completely off his rocker.
Because remember, uh two years ago, he himself at a political fundraiser told his DMC donors that the reason why he was calibrating US actions, why he was uh trickling down weaponry to Ukraine is because the threat of nuclear armor yet from Putin was real, and he was trying to avoid the potential of starting World War III.
Well, now it's exactly what he was doing because Putin just signed the update to Russia's nuclear doctrine, which allows him it's first of all, it's lowers the nuclear threshold, right?
So he can strike right now Ukraine with nuclear weapons, and he can put he's gonna unleash non-Kinetic attacks, and he's already doing it in Europe and on the United States that will include cyber strikes, uh, space warfare, and other lethal things that the uh intelligence community itself just won by them as recently as September.
Well, the the Russian defense ministry said earlier today that they defeated this initial attack shortly before the Kremlin updated its nuclear weapons doctrine to allow for nuclear strikes in response to foreign ballistic missile attacks.
Uh that's a little scary.
Rebecca will give you the first answer on that, then we'll get to our friend Horace.
Sure, absolutely.
Yes, five missiles were intercepted by Russia's uh air defenses, which are actually very, very robust.
One got through, uh, the debris fell on a military base, and thank goodness there were no casualties according to Russia.
But if there were casualties, that would have been a red line.
So Putin right now almost certainly is uh brainstorming scenarios with its general stuff and putting them into the program software under which exact scenario uh he would actually use those weapons.
So now is the time to de-escalate.
It is exactly why he updated this doctrine because he wants to have the justification with the lower thresholds to actually go ahead and use those in the counterintuitive to the Western analyst mindset to de-escalate.
So He's basically called escalate to de-escalate strategy, and that's the strategy that President Trump revealed to the American people.
And Trump actually had a counter thread uh during his first Trump because he authorized the U.S. military to develop and deploy a nuclear camps sea launched cruise missile.
And when Biden came to office, he canceled the program.
So he exposing America to all sorts of threats and starting World War III and needs to stop.
This is really a scary time.
I I know you have to run Rebecca, you have another commitment, uh, but we do really appreciate you being with us today.
Thank you.
Uh my friend Horace Cooper, let's go to you.
Let's get your initial reaction to this.
I think they have created an extraordinary extraordinarily dangerous scenario here, uh, which opens up the possibility of a you know a a more a bigger war in Europe uh that could impact other countries and that is a scary thought on their way out the door there was no need to do this especially with all the controls that Biden and Harris had put on Zelensky and Ukraine the entire war.
So let me just say this administration is the just less than you need administration.
First they did that with Americans American households all over the country suffered and struggled because they had just less than they need.
But they also have done this internationally that's been true with Israel and it's also true in Europe.
This administration has brought us closer to the brink of war because at every step along the way what they've done is just less than enough.
Now that the elections are over and the American people have spoken this administration should step aside and let Mr Trump and his team with a much more Reaganesque strategy take place.
Remember now Ronald Reagan was able to defeat the Soviet Union without going to war.
What this administration is doing is inching us closer and closer and closer to a conflict their day is done the lame duck is ready to be served please please stop going in the wrong direction.
Why do you think they did this now knowing that Donald Trump is is going to be taken office on January the twentieth and his stated policy has been to put an end to this war and have a negotiated settlement and and the idea of Mendel um why do you think they did this?
Well, the plan is to trap this administration into pursuing the very failed policies that haven't worked on the last four years.
Let's not forget that one of the reasons that the Russian government has been acting out the way that they have on the global stage has been that Donald Trump was limited by the Russia-Russia hoax in being able to carry out his robust international strategy about developing the type of relationship with Russia that would eliminate an impact.
these kinds of threats.
It is not true that everything the Russians say or do is good.
In fact, most of what they say or do is the opposite of good.
But it is true that there are some domestic concerns that they have about NATO, that they have about the encroachment within their territorial areas.
Well, NATO has always been a sticking point with them.
And remember, it was James Baker that famously said they would not be a part of NATO, number one.
And the other issue, I guess, territorialism, issue which Donald Trump was successful in keeping at bay has to do with the Donbas region which happens to be a mineral rich region of Ukraine which is why they should be Paying America for all the weaponry that Biden and Harris provided them some 200 billion dollars worth.
That's my my thought.
But the fact is is now Vladimir Putin clearly, but it's 70%, I understand, of Russian nationals there, uh, is now going to want that that region and annex it like he did Crimea.
Well, that's where this looks like it's heading with the commitment that our present leader, Mr. Biden, is making.
The point here is that the answer is not this incrementalism that gets us to a point of no return.
The point is that there always was a need for a far more robust approach.
Not just Eurocentric, but globally.
We need to be sending this signal also to the Chinese government with its territorial ambitions.
What Mr. Biden has done is signaled.
If China were to invade uh Taiwan, we would take the same sort of incremental approach.
What we need to be doing is recognizing the president is coming in, and he is likely to take a chance at negotiations.
Take the opportunity to let negotiations lead an end.
We are spending billions of American taxpayer funds that are only leading us closer and closer to a cataclysmic result.
That's not the right answer.
And after the American people have spoken so robustly, this administration needs to stand back.
This is reckless and irresponsible.
Should Donald Trump, in your view, speak out uh publicly and tell Zelensky to back off and to de-escalate and tell the same thing to Putin.
I think actually what we should have are the European leaders that should stand up.
We should have the UK Sturmer, we should have uh the French government, the German government all say, wait a second.
Whatever this conflict ends up spilling out, it's gonna be on our borders.
Hold on, Mr. Biden.
It's not just that when you come for a summit and we take photos, we're not going to include you in it when it's serious, like this particular threat.
We're asking you to recalibrate.
Absolutely, the direction we're heading is the wrong one.
This administration wants to be the incoming administration, Mr. Trump, wants to be able to sit down and negotiate an agreement that settles, resolves, and minimizes the likelihood that Russia engages in this type of predation going forward.
All right, appreciate your time and uh brilliance as always, Horace Cooper.
We appreciate you being with us.
Coll free, our number is 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh all right, let's get to our busy telephones here.
Let's say hi to Mickey's in New Jersey.
What's up, Nikki in New Jersey?
What's going on in Joycey?
Uh I moved, thankfully, from New Jersey.
I live in South Carolina.
But what I uh wanted to let you know is I was listening to your show yesterday when you were speaking to Mr. Bear about the Daniel Penny case and the circumstances involving the legal factors.
Since I I was with the New Jersey state police, I ran the self-defense unit for ten years.
I'm now retired self-defense expert and uh witness throughout the country.
And what I am seeing is what is happening to Mr. Penny, is that uh people, particularly in my experience in the blue states, when you use self-defense or the police use force, even on very good cases,
they are being charged by the prosecutors off criminally with manslaughter murder or any charges they can uh bring against them, and then they are uh also uh making them defend themselves and go through the court process, which is very taxing and financial and emotionally.
And I have not seen that in the red states.
I'm uh very active even with self-defense cases on homeowners and civilians, such as Mr. Penny.
People have repeatedly testified that we're on that train in this case in this courtroom that that their lives they felt their life was in jeopardy based on the law in New York City you have a right if you believe that just if if anybody believes that you have a right to defend yourself.
What they are creating now is a scenario where the criminals have complete advantage.
This guy came on a uh came into a a a subway car he threatened everybody that he didn't care if they died and he didn't care if he died and it he was beginning to get hostile towards people passengers that were on that on that subway train.
And Daniel Penny felt compelled to keep these people safe.
He was a good Samaritan by every definition.
Why this is even in court based on the law is one of the reasons I don't live in New York anymore because I don't feel safe.
And I had a license to carry in New York.
I surrendered that when I moved to Florida and I will tell you that it is sad who is ever going to want to come forward.
Let's even assume that he gets a not guilty verdict in this case which I hope but he they may if they find him guilty he's facing 19 years in jail this kid and his entire life is going to be ruined.
I mean it's just a shame that you know he's trying to help other people and protect lives and this is what they do to the guy.
You know that's why I tell people all the time about the US C C A. Because if you're in a self-defense situation they have an army that will get behind you of attorneys and and others that are going to fight the battle for you and that's I've been a proud member of the US C CA for this reason for nine years.
I mean there's so many instances we saw this remember there was the bodega guy you know that defended his life and they wanted to put this guy what was his name Alba they wanted to put that guy in jail.
It's unbelievable.
That is correct, and you're seeing that more and more, and you're right.
When you were charged with these crimes, I tell people, you need a good attorney, and you're going to need a self-defense expert.
Because, again, I hate to say it this way, but the blue states are the ones that are charging the civilians, the homeowners, and the police repeatedly, even when the law is on their side.
Of course, you have to take in all the totality of the circumstances.
There's many factors.
it's very difficult uh what they're going through and it's very difficult to uh defend because it's it's so it's an interpretation and you don't know what is going to happen in front of a jury or judge anymore.
You really don't I mean I everyone pray for this guy.
I I think all his intentions were pure it's obvious that there was a real threat on that subway train and he acted and I don't think anyone is ever going to want to act again.
Anyway uh we appreciate you being with us Mickey thanks for what you do to keep people safe we appreciate it Sandy is in Indiana next on the Sean Hannity show.
Hey Sandy how are you?
Hey how you doing you're one hard dude to get a hold of you know that I'm sorry about that I I'm I'm available I'm here every day anyway I got five guys in my life okay first one is God my husband my son my son in law it's like a real son and you and you're I'm f I'll I'll take fifth place with that order.
I think I'm very lucky to be included in the list yeah you're on the bottom but you're there but anyway on the bottom Hannity where you belong but you're there.
No I approve listen I'm happy to be on your list.
Thank you.
Okay you're welcome but anyway there's just a couple things I just wanted to make a comment about.
Can I ask a question why does your son in law why is he ranked ahead of me?
I'm just wondering well let me see well for one thing he invited me to his wedding so an invitation by me to you would would maybe put me in fourth place?
I I needed an invitation anyway go I I didn't mean to interrupt what's on your mind.
That's fine that's fine.
Anyway uh every now and then I think about Riley James how she is fighting you know for these girls you know in their sports and all that and I thought, these transgenders, why don't they get their own team going and compete against each other?
But I figured, you know, they ain't got nothing.
Well, I it's a great idea.
You mean in other words, let trans athletes compete against trans athletes.
I I actually suggested that in the past as well.
If you know we have Title IX for women, if they want to make Title Ten for trans athletes, let them let 'em have at it.
Yeah, and then when you think about it, how many of these uh girls that trans to wanting to be a guy?
You don't see them trying to compete in men's sports.
You see, but they would claim we are discriminating against them because they identify as even though they were born, say a biological male, and they want to play in women's sports.
Um Caitlin Jenner said it best in an interview that we had together.
I don't really care what one's testosterone levels are when they're 20 and they're competing.
What were those levels like during puberty?
I mean, that to me is a tipping point.
Uh but with that said, then we get into the issue of okay, gender-affirming quote care and treatment, life altering, can't go backwards, uh, at least not with modern medicine.
Uh and do we really want minors making life altering decisions at such young ages when they might it might turn out that they regret it.
And then of course they want to be able to do allow treatment like that, the likes of Tim Walls and out in California, Gavin Newsom, without parental consent.
Because they want to declare that I guess the state has more power and knows better than the parents do.
I mean, it only takes common sense if a man can overpower a woman and want to rape her.
So don't that register with them?
They're gonna overpower them in these uh sports events that they want to get into, you know, with these girls.
It's it's not wrong to say or state the obvious that generally speaking, there are exceptions.
I mean, there are there are some women fighters, UFC fighters, for example, that they they would kick my behind so bad, you know, it would and probably could do it in under a minute.
Uh because they're they're that strong and better trained, etc.
Um, but generally speaking, men are physically stronger than women.
It doesn't mean men are better than women.
I mean, I would argue that that there are things that women, for example, generally, there are exceptions, offer children that men don't offer children.
And I'm not just talking about breastfeeding or something like that.
I'm talking about, you know, emotional support of a mother is is just something that generally speaking, and there are exceptions, I say it all the time.
It just is they just have a a natural nurturing capability.
I mean, if you say if you even get into these discussions, I mean it it makes people's heads turn around and they projectile vomit green uh puke.
I mean, it's just they can't handle a discussion about it.
Well, and you know, and just to think, you know, they they when they take God out of everything, that's when everything starts falling apart.
You know, they're falling apart.
We've kicked God out of the schools, we've kicked God out of uh a lot of our life, and I think, you know, it was a great song by John Rich.
I don't know if you ever heard it.
Earth to God.
You gotta watch the video.
Come in God.
You know, because the world has gone half mad.
As a matter of fact, I'll even want me to play a little bit for you.
Yeah, if you want.
All right, listen up.
Earth to God come in, God.
I know you're there hearing our prayers wherever you are.
We need you now to send your love down.
Take away the pain in your holy name.
We asked this now.
We need your act, we need your love to heal the world made.
And save us now, and our dog is down with your amazing race.
Earth to God We're holding on But not long.
Can you pull us all close to the Holy Ghost and keep us strong?
We need your life.
We need your love to heal the world.
And save us now.
with your remains and grace.
Earth to God.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
By the way, isn't that a isn't that a great song?
What do you think, Sandy?
Oh, it's beautiful.
Yeah, wait till you see the video.
Look up the video when you uh go online next time.
It's amazing.
Oh, okay.
What's the name of it again?
Earth to God.
John Rich.
Earth to God.
Okay, John.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
All right.
I recognize the name.
But anyway, you know, um change things.
I was thinking also, you've heard of these little bounty houses that the kids like to play in.
Oh, like those.
Yeah, I'm I'm pretty familiar with that.
Well, I think we kind of got one there.
It's called the Bounty White Houses with liars in it.
Well, an awful lot of lies were told to the country in the lead up to this election.
It was it was almost sung in unison on legacy media.
And they've been singing from the same hymnal, lying about Donald Trump.
And it ended with a crescendo of Nazi fascist, racist, and we're all garbage, and it didn't work.
And as a result, I think we can we can accurately conclude that legacy media is dead.
I declare that at the end officially of this election season, as I predicted in 2007 and eight, the journalism is dead too.
They all claim to be journalists, they're not journalists, they're leftist, radical, extreme talk show host, and they're not honest about who they are.
Anyway, Sandy, appreciate you.
Glad you're out there.
Check in with us anytime, okay?
Earth to God by John Rich.
We'll even put a link on Hannity.com.
How's that?
We'll make it easy for everybody.
Uh, and I'll put it up on my social media accounts as well.
A link to the video.
You're gonna love it.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
Uh, Hannity Tonight.
Their first interviews since being appointed by Donald Trump.
We'll check in with Steven Miller and Caroline Levitt.
You don't want to miss that.
Lindsey Graham, just back from the Middle East.
We'll check in with him.
Uh, we'll get to the latest as it relate relates to Judge Mershawn and the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, and the idea that they want to keep this case over till open till after he's president is insane.
Uh Greg Jarrett, Alan Dershowitz will check in with them.
Greg Abbott, the latest on the border, and all the news that you will never get from the state rum legacy media mob, which by every definition is now dead.
All happening nine Eastern tonight, set you D V R. Hannity on Fox, back here tomorrow.
