Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
News Roundup Information Overload Hour, toll-free.
Our number is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we go back to our top story, uh, announced yesterday by the White House that Donald Trump will make his decision on Iran within the next two weeks.
Now, that could be today, that could be tomorrow, that could be over the weekend, that could be next week, within two weeks.
Uh, here's what she said.
Now, regarding the ongoing situation in Iran, I know there has been a lot of speculation amongst all of you in the media regarding the president's decision making and whether or not the United States will be directly involved.
In light of that news, I have a message directly from the president.
And I quote Based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future.
I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks.
That's a quote directly from the president for all of you today.
Wow.
Anyway, here to weigh in on all of this, what it means is uh Jeff Lord, a friend of the program, longtime friend of the program, host of the Word of the Lord Podcast, which is probably the best name of a podcast ever made.
Uh anyway, and Aaron Cohn is with us, an Israeli trained uh career special ops and intelligence veterans.
Um welcome both of you.
Um I uh I don't want to read too much into the president's decision, certainly as information that none of us have and intelligence that none of us have, and and maybe this has to do with military operations and and getting all your ducks in a row to maximize the chance of success here.
I'm not really sure.
Jeff, what's your take?
Yeah, I I think that uh you know it reminds me, as you know, I work for President Reagan, and uh he reminds me very much, and I've said this to him on occasion, he used to he used to joke when he was running that I was always on TV comparing to Ronald Reagan, but I think there's a reason for it.
Uh President Reagan was very much the hardliner.
Um one of the stories that kind of a couple stories, one of the stories uh uh told to me by my friend Ken Duberstein.
We were at the Franklin Marshall College together, and he later became Reagan's chief of staff.
He was in the car with President Reagan on the way to the Berlin Wall, uh where he gave that famous speech.
And the deal was that this speech line Mr. Gorbachev carried down this wall had been in and out, put in by the speech writers, taken out by State Department types, et cetera, back and forth back.
I thought it was I thought it was taken out repeatedly and Reagan kept putting it back in.
Am I wrong on that?
No, no, you're not you're not wrong.
You're not wrong.
But there are others on the staff that wanted it in and others that wanted it out.
So they're in the car, literally on the way to the wall for him to give this speech.
And Reagan is going through the draft and it's not in there.
And he turns to Ken Duberstein and says, It's not here.
What should I do?
To his everlasting credit, Kenny replies, You're the president, Mr. President.
Hack in it went.
And as we know, the rest is uh the rest is history.
And he didn't fool around with this stuff.
Early on when he first took office, one of his uh one of our staff members asked him, you know, Mr. President, how do you think this will come out?
What what is your view of all this, meaning the Cold War?
And Reagan says, simple.
We win, they lose.
Uh, I think Donald Trump is very much of that uh of that mindset when he deals in foreign policy.
I think he is too.
Uh Aaron Cohn, as you analyze events here, uh clearly uh Iran has become a clear and present danger.
They've got too close to nuclear capability.
Uh I think the Israelis have done a masterful job of taking them out.
And so from my vantage point, uh uh I mean, even Prime Minister Netanyahu said with or without America's help, the the Four Doe uh nuclear facilities not gonna survive.
Uh I do think it would be better if it was a joint military exercise.
That's my own personal view, but you know, he President Trump is the one that's elected.
He's the commander in chief.
He has access to intelligence that I don't have access to.
It's up to him.
Yeah, Sean, I agree with you.
Uh I I think that this pause is part strategic pressure.
And I think he's watching uh Iran, and I and you know, how long is it gonna take for Israel to keep softening Iran?
So right now the IDFS total air superiority, uh they're flying over with live intel.
They're hitting whatever they want, Sean.
It's like it's a turkey shootout there right now, which is what I'm hearing from my sources in Israel.
And Trump knows the longer Israel has the freedom of operation, the more damage gets done, and the less the U.S. has to lift outside of Four Doe, which I think he's evaluating right now.
And so if the U.S. bunker busters are needed, meaning if Israel doesn't put together an actionable plan that can get to the core of that mountain, 300 feet underground there, uh, he'll use them.
I think he will.
I don't think Trump, you know, I don't think he's a BSer.
I think he's the real deal.
When he says he's gonna do something, he's gonna do it.
But if Israeli special ops, you know, can bring in some kind of magic operation that neutralizes the site without dragging America into anything broader, I think he'll lean into that.
So I think he's prepping.
Uh and then there's also that little piece about the regime change.
I know Trump has been very clear we don't want that right now, but what Israel pulled off with the Mossad being behind the wire, Sean for months, building uh building a uh an actual base outside of Tehran with those drones where they unleashed hundreds of them across Iran to take out missile sites and batteries and different bases and and leadership.
Remember, Sean, in the first 48 hours, uh the IBF eliminated the chief of staff of the IRGC.
So, you know, in that first phase.
So I think now he's talking about the Iranian revolutionary guard for people that don't know, but they also took out their top scientists, they took out the top military leaders.
Uh the fact that the Israelis had were able to get drones inside deep deeply penetrated inside Iran and had a a line on where all these people were is amazing.
Yeah, I mean it's it's what Israel does best, uh especially when they're under direct threat.
Israel has to be creative.
You know, this isn't a this is survival for us.
So when Israel comes together, it gets it done.
But I feel like there's a piece in me that believes that there's some quiet exploration about what happens if that bunker buster gets dropped.
Can there be some type of dissent plan put in place for someone like Pahlavi who's in DC, the son of the former Shah?
Can those military generals, whoever's left and the police and the security forces, can they be migrated to really make a legacy play here at the same time?
Now I don't think that's the first goal of this operation, but ultimately I think the bigger picture needs to be looked at.
And Trump's made some pretty incredible strategic decisions.
You were with him in the Middle East at the uh when he was down in the Gulf and he pulled in trillions of dollars from the Arabs in the Gulf States for investment.
So I think he's just sort of looking at the whole thing.
Meanwhile, you know, let's hurry up and wait.
Let Israel keep softening and flying over the skies.
And let's have some talks with Pahlavi.
Can we pull a revolution together that's gonna be minimal damage, uh minimal civilians injured or killed?
And can we flip this regime?
Because at the end of the day, you can go hit the you can get hit, you can hit Ford, Sean, but you can't change the crazy making the calls.
So what's the real root of the problem?
It's this Islamic whacked out leadership.
And I've got to think he's having those conversations.
Well, I I've got to believe he's having those conversations.
Um I I do think there are different motivations for both the United States and Israel.
I mean, I'm paying very close attention to the president's words, Jeff.
And they cannot have a nuclear weapon, unconditional surrender.
That's a that's a very Reagan-esque trust but verify.
That's right.
That's that's uh exactly the situation here.
And one of the things that I think cannot be underestimated is the feelings with the Iranian people themselves.
I think that this regime is not at all popular with their own people.
And I think that given the right circumstances, uh their people are gonna turn on them.
And uh that would be a very amazing thing to see.
Well, I think that certainly the people have been oppressed.
It was interesting.
It's fascinating.
I think one of the most fascinating things to watch all week, uh, Aaron is when Donald Trump took the social media and said, if you're in Tyran to Iran, get out now.
And then all of a sudden the streets were clogged with millions of people.
There's a population there of ten million people, and they're getting the hell out of Dodge listening to Donald Trump.
Well, it's obvious that uh Trump is is speaking farsi through through some no nonsense signaling.
Uh I feel like he's understood this since day one when he took office.
Uh uh good.
Let those images come out.
Let's see the miles and miles of uh of Iranian civilians fleeing into uh Azerbaijan or wherever they're headed.
Uh uh Israel's got plenty of friends in Azerbaijan too who can keep an eye on things over there.
If anyone crosses over that shouldn't be disappearing.
Uh I think the Iranians are fed up with this regime, Sean.
So I think well, I think that was evident though during Trump's first term, wasn't it?
Because as they were going bankrupt, uh the people were rising up in the streets of Tehran and and Joe Biden sent them a lifeline by turning a blind eye to the sanctions that were bankrupting them.
That's right.
And he didn't hesitate, uh uh President Trump didn't hesitate to send a little love package, a little care package to uh Suleimani, uh who was the number one bully for the IRGC, and he and he went bye-bye.
And uh so I think it's Israel continues to do its forward operations, and I think uh uh let's keep putting all those images out there to show the like here's where I'm at.
I think it's about showing the Iranian people through Mossad, that incredible operation.
I think it's about all the air, uh uh this air campaign where Israel's just absolutely obliterating all of these targets.
It's about showing the Iranian people you have nothing to be scared of.
Because right now the IRGC is looking weaker by the minute.
The moment the Iranian people feel confident that they can stand up, which is just a question of time.
At the end of the day, Sean, the the the mullahs are gonna lie.
They're going to continue to mislead about even if it even if a deal is made, they're gonna lie.
It's in their blood.
It's part of their doctrine.
No wait it out till the next turn, till someone else comes into office.
So again, I'm gonna go back to what are we doing to get to the root of the problem and can we change uh uh create change uh i i in a world where we're not really good at changing regimes.
Is there a way to do that and really remove these idiots, dangerous, dangerous mullahs from the table completely?
We'll kill as many of them as we can, but what's the next play to make sure it's well I mean it it i I I've always found regime change to be somewhat precarious because you don't know what you have on the other side of it.
However, and I'll throw this to Jeff Lord, uh however, uh can you really do any worse than what you got now?
And I don't think that's gonna be the U.S.'s goal.
It the Israel, after being hit with uh hundreds of thousands of missiles, they could do whatever they want, as far as I'm concerned, because they've been the victim of this terror state, the biggest victim.
If we have learned anything from history when these in these kind of situations, there are people there in Iran right now, and neither you nor I nor the world at large knows their name, but they're there, and they are there working their darndest to overturn this regime and get them out.
And uh I and I'm sure they believe, and I think they could well be right, that they've got a lot of popular support for it, so that it's just a question of time before this comes into play.
But I think that that's what's happening in slow motion right in front of our eyes.
Yeah, I think uh it it's uh definitely happening.
Quick break, we'll come back more with Jeff Lord and Aaron Cohn on the other side, then we'll get to your calls.
800 nine four-one Sean on number as we continue this Friday.
All right, we continue.
Aaron Cohn and Jeff Lord is with us, eight hundred nine four one Sean is on number.
We'll get to your calls coming up this Friday as well.
I do take the president at his word.
I think that this is gonna be a very critical two-week period.
I think that the U.S. military's clearly on the march and they're getting well positioned in the area in the region.
And I think the president obviously has every intention to strike if need be.
Where do you think this heads, Aaron?
Final prediction.
Um I think that Trump will drop that bomb if the Israelis can't pull it off.
Uh I think the Israelis might be able to pull off something at Fordell.
I think the next two weeks are going to be extremely kinetic.
Uh But again, where I come out is you don't flip Iran with a bomb.
You know, you flip them by decapitating them and pulling together a legitimate opposition leader.
And the millions of Iranians ready to risk it all, Sean.
And I believe they're not alone.
They're all abroad in the diaspora.
I think that's the only real solution, but the next two weeks are going to be a thump.
It's going to be genetic.
Four d'O might get blasted.
Good.
You know, let's let's at least set the nuclear program back a couple of years.
Because that's what counterterrorism is, Sean.
We just want to buy time.
You can't defeat terrorists unless you pull in a new regime.
And if that's not on the table, then let's blow them down.
Yeah.
Aaron Cohn.
Uh we'll give the last word to Jeff Lord.
Jeff, how's this going to play out?
Yeah, I I I think there will be change.
I think change is underway right this minute.
And we may not know it all yet, but I think it is in the process of happening.
And I think that the people themselves are on the edge of uh popular rebellion here.
And I think that that's what's going to push this over.
I mean, we've just seen this too many times in human history, is that they don't they they they sort of count out the people, and then you know, there's a there's an uproar.
And I think that's in the process of happening right this minute.
Well, I appreciate both of you.
Don't forget Jeff's podcast.
Uh the word of the Lord, Jeffrey Lord and Aaron Cohn.
Uh, appreciate both of you.
Thank you both for being with us.

Silver palette, pasta sauce, silver palette pasta sauce, silver palette pasta sauce, and I guarantee you it is better than Prego and Rio.
Okay.
Anyway, no added sugar.
Nope.
Clean, no junk, honest ingredients, garlic, basil, extra virgin olive oil, family-owned, quality-driven, and the best part.
Absolutely.
From the same folks, Peter Harris and his dad that brought you grainberry cereal, of course, that manages sugar, packed with antioxidants and fiber.
Uh look, now they are bringing new products to the market, and their people are loving it.
Anyway, when you go to the store, you want the best pasta sauce for your family, the healthiest one as well.
Don't forget the name, silver palate pasta sauce, or if you're Linda, silver pellet pasta sauce.
Well, that's the whole idea, like rainberry cereal.
Anyway, they have classic marinara, low sodium marinara.
That cereal is amazing and it's healthy, and I just want to add one point to that.
I know we're talking about their amazing sauce, but my youngest son, who is very, very picky, loves greenberry cereal.
So if any of you guys out there are trying to give your kids something healthy, greenberry cereal will work.
Marinera, Lowe's in the sodium marinara, tomato basil.
Uh they have silver palette pizza sauce and vodka sauce.
Anyway, it's how sauce should be made.
Just remember the names when you go shopping.
Rainberry cereal, silver palette, pasta sauce.
Uh anyway, you won't regret it.
You're gonna love it, actually.
Um by the way, remember the moment in the campaign that was a disaster, ended up being a disaster for uh Kamala Harris when she went on that hard-hitting news show, The View, and she was asked a simple hearing about what she would do differently.
Uh Sonny Houston asked the question.
Let me remind you.
Well, uh if anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?
Uh there is done a thing that comes to mind in terms of and I've been a part of of of most of the decisions that have had impact.
Unbelievable.
Now this is what she's saying.
She so regrets she feels terrible about having asked the question.
It was such a hard-ending question.
I ruined the whole thing.
Quite a bit of news, created some viral moments.
Um, I guess we'll start with Sonny.
Sonny.
It's Sonny's fault she didn't win.
We can't ignore the fact that you may have single-handedly taken down the Democratic Party.
Some would say democracy itself.
Um, with one question that you asked Vice President Harris about what she would do differently than President Biden.
What uh how a uh president Do you all remember that?
Yeah.
Hard to forget.
Take me back to that moment and and how hard did you think that question was gonna be.
Well, did you know instantly that that this was gonna be meaningful the way she answered it?
I knew it instantly when she answered it.
Uh which is why I asked the follow-up question.
Is there one thing?
You know, because I I I knew I I just I could see the sound bite and I knew what was gonna happen, but I thought it was a really fair question, and I thought it was a question that she would expect.
It wasn't a gotcha question by any means.
It shouldn't never been a gotcha question.
And now Jake Tapper wrote it in his book.
It's in it's honestly in every 2024 recap book is kind of the moment.
But I it feels terrible.
You can't make this up.
You really can't.
Uh all right, let's get to our busy busy phones.
My free state of Florida, Wendy is standing by.
Wendy, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
How are you today?
I'm good.
How are you?
Somebody just wrote me something that's funny.
Well, we're doing good here.
We're in Clearwater, and all the buzz is about you and Jimmy Shayla coming to town next Saturday.
I know it's a week from tomorrow.
So excited.
And won't be in Fort Lauderdale the night after on Sunday.
I'm really excited.
Are you by the way, are you coming?
Well, uh here's the thing.
I own a restaurant less than three miles from Ruth Eckers.
Wait a minute.
We know each other.
We do.
Because you you you have the brewery, don't you?
We well, it's it's um a restaurant and bar, and we named uh beer after you called the Shannity.

Well, it's it's gonna be flowing pretty heavy uh next Saturday night for sure.
So we wanted to invite you and treat you and thank you because we've been talking to you since we opened during COVID.
So we're in our fifth year, and every time I speak with you, you um you bring people to the restaurant.
Um everybody supports you, they love you.
Um, and so this has been what's everybody's been talking about coming in the restaurant the last like month.
Oh, I've gotta stop by.
I gotta find time to stop by.
Uh I have no idea what my schedule is like that day.
I haven't even looked at the schedule part of it.
We've just been, you know, trying to get the show the way we want it.
And um, how far away are you from Ruth Eckert Hall?
Well, you could you could take a golf cart over.
It's it's not I could take a golf cart over.
When am I gonna go to the villages, get one of those dressed up golf carts and drive it over to the outpost?
We could probably make that happen for you if you need it.
We've um surprised.
I definitely I I I got a question.
Because I love meat.
What kind of meat do you serve in your restaurant?
Everything's homemade.
So everything from pork belly to Philly cheeses steaks to Oh man, I think you just won me over a Philly cheesesteak.
Okay, keep going.
Yep, yep.
And we've got um uh every every kind of meat you can probably think of is on the menu.
Um steaks and burgers and chicken wings, all the stuff I love.
Yes, everything.
You know, the beauty is when I'm on the road, that's when I like go to town.
And for the rest of my life, I uh my day-to-day grind life, I just am very disciplined in my eating.
But when I go on the road, I can't help myself, so I have to go to the outpost when I'm in clear water and uh come see you a week from Saturday.
I look forward to it.
Well, and we have a Belgian chocolate shop too for the sweet ending.
So No, I I don't that's one thing I don't need his sweets.
I don't have a sweet tooth anymore.
It's gone.
We have your beer on draft, so we can just pour you a beer and make sure there's an ice cube in it for you.
Oh, ouch.
Ouch.
Delinda put you up to that.
Ouch.
No, nope, not saying a word.
No.
No, not saying a word means yeah, she did.
I got it.
Uh well, Wendy, I hope everyone in Clearwater, if they haven't been there, uh go to the outpost.
I have other friends of mine that are gonna be there, they're restaurant owners.
Have you ever been to have you ever stopped at a chicken salad chick?
Oh, I love chicken salad chick.
Absolutely.
Isn't it so good?
It's yeah, the friends of mine own it.
Actually, I felt so bad for them.
One of their locations about a I guess it's going on close to a year now, burned down.
They they've been rebuilding it.
What and um so scary, yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
I know it's so scary.
But uh thank God they've been able to rebuild and uh their their customer they actually opened up like in the parking lot like a few days a week, and their loyal customers come just on the days they're in the parking lot.
How cool is that?
How greater people in the community?
They're so awesome.
Yes, very good.
We're we're hearing all great things, and we can't wait to see you.
So hopefully you'll have to it's gonna be a great show.
It's gonna be irreverent, politically incorrect, no holds barred, and we're taking on all comers.
It's gonna be great.
Sounds good uh all right, Wendy.
I'll be seeing you one one week from tomorrow, then the next night, Fort Lauderdale.
Uh Punch Lines and Patriots are gonna have fun.
Uh Todd in Utah.
What's up, Todd?
How are you?
Yes, Sean, greetings from Utah.
Uh big fan, love your show.
Oh, thank you, my friend.
I love Utah.
Speaking of food, Utah, uh, have you been to a Crown burger?
Uh I almost said that.
Land of the Crown burger.
I know you're a Cramburger fan.
Oh, it's delicious.
It's a good and that all this food talk is making me hungry.
It's not good.
I might have to go get one after this call.
So uh I got a question for you.
So um it seems to me like uh if bom if uh Trump bombs out takes out their newts, the big fear is that their Ayatollah's gonna set loose his proxies and all his uh people all over the place to go after our military bases or our ships at sea.
But my question to you is uh he knows where the Ayatollah is.
Do you think he did the s he did the same thing to him like he did was it the Taliban leader?
I love the story where he he told the guy, look, this is where you are.
If you hurt any of our servicemen anywhere in the world, I'm gonna take you out.
No, he actually what he did was he well before he even would negotiate a withdrawal, he got on the line with the head of the Taliban, and he said, uh to him before we even negotiate it, you understand if if if one hair or one head of any American is hurt, I'm holding you accountable.
And then he sent him his exact location where he was taking the phone call.
Why are you sending me a picture of my house?
Why do you think you idiot?
Because I could take you out right now.
That's a pretty powerful message.
Right, right.
I love that story.
Do you think he did the same thing with the Ayatollah?
Because he knows where he is.
And do you and if he did, do you think it would work on him like it did to the Taliban?
Um the answer is I don't know.
I I mean, Donald Trump's not one to keep a lot of secrets.
He he he's if you want to keep a secret, don't tell Donald Trump.
I can tell you that much.
Uh except for the secrets, obviously ha he has to keep.
But um, you know, he he loves to tell those stories because they're they're history making, and he's been a part of it.
I think my favorite story is when he was debating Hillary Clinton, and the way he tells it is he's in his you know dressing room and he's waiting for the debate, and you know, he know this is right after Access Hollywood, and he's like, All right, uh Mr. Trump, ten minutes, sir.
Ten minutes, sir.
Um five minutes, then he says, Sir, it's time.
And he said he's sitting there and he's standing on one side, Hillary's standing on the other side, and he hears, all right, Asia, five, four, three, two, Asia, Asia, you're alive.
Australia, five, four, three, two, one.
Australia, you're alive.
Europe, you're l you know, it goes through.
And the way he tells it, he he pauses and he goes, then I'm thinking, what the hell did I get myself into?
Which by the way, you could imagine, high pressure moment in life, right?
Right.
I love it.
It's a beautiful story.
Well, I I hope he does.
I hope he puts down the the letter on the law to that guy so that the I told him knows, hey, uh, you set your people loose.
Uh I'm I'm gonna evaporate right where you're sitting.
Uh, because it sure seemed to work on the Taliban guy, and I just hope it works on the Ayatollah, but I'm not confident.
Yeah.
Anyway, Todd, I appreciate your call, man.
God bless you.
Go get yourself a crown burger and appreciate your call.
800-941 Sean is a number if you want to be a part of the program.
Jay in New Orleans.
What's up, Jay?
How are you?
Thanks for taking my call.
Thank you for calling.
Uh I've been seeing a lot of uh Putin and Ji Jinping uh sending Trump advice on how to handle the Iran conflict.
You know, I don't think they really care, but they're making money off of the U.S. sanctions that we put on Iran.
But they both say that they don't want Iran to have nuke.
So why don't we publicly ask them to stop the war by putting severe worldwide war there, worldwide sanctions on them.
Because we can't do that by 'em by ourselves.
Then if they don't agree, you know, we'll see that they don't care.
But if they did agree and do agree and it works, it could eliminate the uh in the war and eliminate the threat.
What do you think?
Uh listen, I'm just telling you right now, from my vantage point, you know, I I think the president's on top of it.
I just have the confidence that he's going to do it.
Remember, he's always got information we don't have, right?
So we have to start with that understanding.
And if you understand he doesn't have it, you know, you gotta trust the process.
He's proven himself over and over again that he's willing to do what is necessary in cases like this.
So I have every every belief and confidence that he will this time.
Do you do you doubt that?
Uh well, I I worry about the long term and really if you gotta worry about the long term.
You gotta worry about the short term.
No military operations without risk, right?
Yeah, but if if Russia and China weren't buying from them, they they would dry up and die.
That's a good point.
You're right.
But you know what?
We can't control the Russians, obviously, and we can't control the Chinese, obviously.
Yeah, I don't think they want to help anyway.
Yeah, I mean, you know, I wish I wish I could I wish everything was sunshine and rainbows and life was like that, but it's not.
I mean, every day you there is evil in this world.
And you have to recognize evil for what it is.
I mean, you wouldn't believe like the evil that exists, you know.
I mean, people that just try to be evil to me.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
But anyway, I appreciate the call.
Andrea is in Texas.
God bless Texas, Andrew.
We got about a minute.
It's all yours.
Thank you, Sean.
I've got a lot of people in my family that are military.
I know you're not, but I want to thank you for the service that you do.
Uh I do have two points.
I promise to be succinct.
Number one, last term, uh Trump's first term, there was the Air Force that had their mil uh anniversary.
They had a massive air show.
It was on Fox.
It was all the airplanes from the beginning of the uh of air until now.
Was he nobody said he was a canom man?
So what's the deal now with the army?
That's it.
They need to remember it's already been done.
So tell them just to hush on that.
And point number two, whatever happens in Israel and Iran, I don't want us to know about it until after it happens.
That's what made World War II successful is we were not, I mean, this need to know.
No, sometimes we don't need to know.
Element of surprise is what we need right now.
Personally, I would love for those bunker busters to go in there and just to show China and Russia, we follow through, don't mess with us.
Uh I think it would be a very strong, powerful message for every evil regime to see the U.S. follow through on their commitment to take out these nuclear sites.
But you know what?
We've got time.
Stay tuned.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
Uh, don't forget Punchlines and Patriots.
One week from tomorrow and one week from Sunday.
One week from tomorrow, Clearwater, Ruth Eckert Hall.
Any remaining tickets are at Hannity.com.
And similarly in Fort Lauderdale, that's going to be at the Broward Center for Performing Arts.
Uh and it's going to be me and Jimmy Phaela.
It's Punchlines and Patriots.
We're going to have fun.
We're going to talk about how great this country is, and it's going to be a fun night.
Hope you can join us.
Uh that's all the time we have.
Thank you for making this show possible.
Have a great weekend.
I will be back here on Monday.
Thank you.
