Sean Hannity leads with one of the most incredible speeches he has ever witnessed by a U.S. president! Donald Trump's recent address to the United Nations. Sean dives deep into how Trump challenged institutions, allies, and adversaries on everything from failed policies to global crises, framing the speech as a "Trump Doctrine" or manifesto, unique in modern presidential history. Key points: Trump's unapologetic defense of American interests, his scathing critique of the UN's inefficacy, direct calls for NATO resolve against Russia, and a case for peace through strength.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you want to join us, in a minute, we're going to go over, I think, one of the most incredible speeches I've ever seen in my lifetime a U.S. president give.
We're even going to play it maybe in the next hour, and then we'll talk about it in the hour after that, because it was that deep, that impactful.
It was that profound.
There's not been a president in our lifetime that I can think of, as much as Reagan understood it, that understands the power, the might, the purpose of the United States and how it must be a force for good.
The president held nothing back, you know, challenging everything, every institution for its failure, their old way of thinking from the United Nations itself, you know, straight on through,
you know, calling out our friends, our foes, our allies, you know, taking on the insanity of green energy, taking on the insanity of economic policy, taking on the insanity of illegal immigration.
He stopped nowhere.
And especially, you know, I planned on maybe taking on the stupidity of Kamala Harris and these interviews she's doing.
I mean, it is such a dramatic, if you compare and contrast, it's so dramatically different.
I mean, she goes right back to, you know, MSDNC, Trump is a tyrant and a communist dictator.
That is exactly the closing argument she lost on, and she's stuck in the mud.
And oh, now she's going to tell us that Joe Biden, you know, I was reckless not to challenge Biden on running in 2024.
Oh, you mean you knew?
You knew he was a cognitive mess?
What a shock.
Because I knew, and we reported it in 2019.
And I can't pick Pete Buddhajudge, who I really wanted to pick.
Why?
Because he happens to be a gay man, and I think so little of the American people that I think that the American people must be bigoted.
And we were already asking that an African-American woman who's, I guess, her husband is Jewish and it was just too much, the identity politics game of the Democratic Party.
Then goes a step further, endorsing commie Marxist Mamdani for mayor of New York City, claims her election against Trump was the closest in the 21st century.
It was not.
He's just wrong.
We have news to begin the show today.
Jurors have found Ryan Roth.
That's the guy that would be assassin of Donald Trump at Trump International.
I'll never forget that last year.
I'd gone to breakfast that morning with Steve Witkoff, who was playing golf with President Trump.
He's begging me to go.
And I'm like, I haven't picked up a stick in six or seven years.
I since have, by the way, occasionally, not much, but I did.
And not as bad as I thought, Linda.
You'd be proud of me.
And then anyway, about an hour and a half after we had breakfast, he's out playing golf with the president.
I get a call from him.
I get a call from the president.
I got in touch with him, talked to him many times.
Then I was on TV for the next number of hours because they were giving me the details of all of this.
And anyway, so let me explain what happened today is there's just nobody else like President Trump.
There's nobody that's going to go to the United Nations and call them out the way that Donald Trump did and call out friend and foe the way Donald Trump did.
I mean, first he said the only thing I got from the U.N. is a broken teleprompter and a broken escalator.
And then he just launches into every single solitary thing.
He laid out what he has accomplished as president and how in his first term, the guns of war have been shattered and he was able to forge peace in his first term.
And, you know, after four years of weakness, lawlessness, radicalism under Biden and Harris, you know, our nation, you know, it literally delivered our nation into a repeated set of disasters.
He called it all out and it goes deeper and it goes further and he goes, he just went there on every issue.
There was no sacred cow.
Talked about the state of our economy, the calamity, as he called it, that we inherited from the previous administration.
He talked about inflation.
We're learning, by the way, that the jobs numbers under Biden were absolutely manufactured, just like we're learning that crime statistics are totally, they're cooking the books all over the place.
And he pointed out with four years of Biden, we had less than a trillion dollars in new investment.
We have spoken at length.
It is incalculable what the largest tax cuts in history, what $17 trillion in committed investments and manufacturing, what he's been able to get in eight months, they only got a trillion in four years.
I guess, you know, I guess Hunter was too busy doing his own personal business deals for the, you know, for the family with Burisman, CEFC, et cetera.
$17 trillion, that means we're going to manufacture in this country automobiles, semiconductor chips, necessary pharmaceuticals, which we have outsourced for years, rare earth minerals, all of that.
$17 trillion versus $1 trillion in four years, $17 trillion in eight months.
And so he did lay out the case.
You know, he talked about America's open borders and how idiotic it is and also talked about how entire countries are being transformed.
He talked about deporting criminal aliens that Joe and Kamala and Majorkas unvetted that they allowed another country.
He talked about Europe.
He challenged Europe so hard in this speech at times.
It was like amazing.
And they have no choice, but they better start listening because their identity, as he pointed out, is absolutely, they have an identity crisis, the likes of which I don't even know if they're going to ever be able to recover from.
Talked about NATO membership, NATO members, that, you know, how idiotic NATO was for buying Russian oil, fueling, you know, the war machine of Vladimir Putin, something we had talked at length about.
How insane is that?
That's what he gave Angela Merkel the white flag of surrender.
But then now forcing NATO members, you know, to commit to increasing defense spending from 2% of their GDP to 5% of their GDP.
President also very clearly said today and put out there that, yeah, if Vladimir Putin enters your airspace, shoot down their planes.
After getting to fully know and understand the Ukraine-Russia military economic situation, after seeing the economic trouble it's causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the EU, is in a position to fight and win all of Ukraine back in its original form.
What time, patience, and financial support of Europe, and in particular NATO, the original borders from where the war started is very much an option.
Why not?
Russia's been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years in what really should have been a real military power would take less than a week to win.
This is not distinguishing Russia.
In fact, it very much is making them look like a paper tiger.
When the people living in Moscow and all the great cities and towns and districts throughout Russia find out what's really going on with this war, the fact that it's almost impossible for them to get gasoline through the long lines that are being formed and all the other things that are taking place in their war economy where most of their money is being spent fighting Ukraine, which has great spirit and only getting better.
President, it sounds very similar, and he mentioned this in his speech to what he did with Iran.
Gave him 51 days.
Nope, they didn't listen.
Boom.
That's it.
The nuclear sites are gone.
The world is a safer place.
But anyway, the president went into how he's trying to build relationships, how he believes in peace through strength, but without forever wars.
He talked about reestablishing trade and understanding the importance and the strength and the need of other countries to have access to our economy with historic trade deals with the UK, the EU, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, many, many others.
And then the president said, you know, he rightly pointed out his role in helping to end war so far around the world and even in places where they've gone on for 30 plus years.
Cambodia, Thailand, Kosovo, Serbia, Congo, Rwanda, Pakistan, and India on the verge of rising conflicts.
And he got involved and he used the strength of the U.S. economy to put an end to that before it got started.
Israel and Iran after 12 days.
Who would have thought?
And then Armenia, Azerbaijan, another example.
And then for me, I've never, never loved the U.N.
I think they are a feckless, impotent, absolutely useless organization.
And we end up funding the vast majority of monies for the United Nations.
I'll go over that in a minute here.
And I'm sick and tired of us paying one more penny.
By the way, just to add one thing to what the president said to NATO nations, if Russian jets violate their airspace, shoot down those Russian jets.
You think that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft that they enter their airspace?
Yes, I do.
I wonder how many other presidential candidates or presidents of the country would ever say that.
And the president goes on, and he makes the case for peace and then lays out the United Nations that they didn't help in any of these peace negotiations that he himself brokered.
You wouldn't think Donald Trump's the guy of peace.
And then he addressed this idea that, you know, yeah, a lot of people, when you look at the Abraham Accords and all these different countries that I played a role in bringing peace to, he said people, and he's been nominated by multiple countries for the Nobel Peace Prize.
He says he doesn't even want it.
He said the real prize is the sons and daughters who live to grow up with their mothers and fathers because millions of people are no longer being killed in endless, you know, forever wars.
And we've saved millions of lives with the seven wars.
And then he addressed the issue that he thought Russia, Putin, Ukraine would be easier, and it's not.
And now he's making the pivot, just like he made the pivot.
And people said, oh, he's giving in.
He's Putin's puppet.
No, he's not.
He understands they're a nuclear power.
He understands the first option is the peaceful option.
And then when you get to a point that that's not going to work, then you really have no choice.
And he's signaling now that he's going to, you know, take the handcuffs off and let NATO and Europe and with the help of the U.S., when he pointed out we do have a big ocean between us and Europe, and this is really their problem.
You know, now take on Putin, who should have won this war.
He was a great military power in seven days.
And that's the end of it.
You know, he says, you know, what is the purpose of the United Nations?
He said he's always thought they have potential.
Yeah, the U.N. has always had potential.
But guess what?
They don't get a damn thing done.
And you look at, you know, all the countries they put on their Human Rights Commission are the biggest violators in most cases of human rights on the face of this earth.
You know, but he's explaining what the goal, what the doctrine is, you know, talks about how the U.N. is wasting a fortune, how he even had guaranteed a $500 million renovation, and they end up going over budget by $5 billion and just what waste, fraud, and abuse takes place there.
The United Nations has devolved into a useless institution.
Frankly, I say give it to China.
Could care less at this point.
But on the other hand, the president is just doing their job in their absence because they're not doing it.
I had a lot more to weigh in on this.
We'll get to your calls today.
Let me go back to the speech, and then we're going to play it in the next hour.
President Trump at the United Nations today, I think the best speech he's ever given, I would define this as either the Trump doctrine or Trump manifesto.
He was as iconoclastic a president as I've ever seen.
He took on every bit of institutionalized establishment thinking that ever existed, including calling out the UN for being absolutely feckless and a complete waste of time and money and how they have failed.
He believes in the promise of the UN.
I'm not so sure.
I'm not sure if it's possible.
And there really is this battle between globalism and the globalists versus those that, for example, those of us that believe in America first.
It doesn't mean that we don't want to be a part of the civilized world.
It just means that we're putting our country first.
President Trump has always understood that China and Russia and North Korea are top geopolitical foes that they're always going to put their countries first.
That's fine.
But yet he wants partnerships and he's made all these trade deals that have finally stopped these countries from ripping us off the way they have.
And he offered America's hand in friendship to any country in that assembly today that will join him and us, because really it's only the United States that can do what he's doing.
He singularly knows the power, the might, the influence, the role, the importance of the power of the United States of America to be a force for good around the world.
That's why he involved himself or he involves himself in these conflicts.
He does have better things to do.
However, it's in everybody's best interest if the world is at peace.
And that's why, after trying and trying, as he did with Iran, and then they had no intention of making a deal, okay, they can't have nuclear weapons.
They're the number one state sponsor of terror.
And he spelled that out in his speech today.
And similarly, he's now challenging Vladimir Putin and Russia.
I mean, I'll get into that in a second.
I mean, really calling Putin out, you know, as a paper tiger and what a failed military effort on paper.
Did any of you think, you know, when Joe Biden just stood idly by as Putin's amassing troops and weapons along the border with Ukraine?
Well, first of all, did anyone doubt he was going in?
You shouldn't have, especially after Crimea was annexed in 2014.
But then also that you would think that Russia would have just, you know, rolled over Ukraine.
It wasn't even close.
And there is still, you know, disputed territories.
And, you know, and the president is now saying, well, maybe we have to rethink this.
I've given Vladimir every opportunity I can and every chance that I can to have peace.
He's refusing.
And now he's getting more arrogant by the day.
And he's flying over NATO territory and it's going to stop.
And he even gave permission to NATO nations to take these planes, jet planes, out of the sky because he's doing it on purpose.
Anyway, so, but he's also offering, conversely, the hand of American leadership friendship to any country in the assembly.
He offered that today.
And to join with the U.S. and forge a safer, more prosperous world.
That was the vision.
And it's a world that would be much happier and a future that's dramatically in our reach.
And he said, you know, I made containing threats in his first term a top priority, and he's doing so in his second term.
You know, he said it's like the Trump doctrine.
And I felt even conservatives, some of them, had no, don't understand the Trump doctrine.
Yes, he believes in no forever wars.
With new, you know, modern military technology, I argue future wars, and we're beginning to see the beginning, the beginnings of this, are not going to be fought on battlefields.
They will be fought in air-conditioned offices.
And the president knows that's why we are rebuilding our military.
That's why he's prioritizing the golden dome.
That's why the president is modernizing our military.
That's why he's making these investments.
Joe Biden, you know, pretty much gave every spare part weapon we had to Ukraine.
And now when we support Ukraine, they're paying for the weaponry.
You know, NATO is buying it, and they will pay for it.
We can't afford to be a proxy inviting Russia.
And as he pointed out, there is a big ocean between all of us.
When he was describing Iran, for example, he said his position was simple.
Now, this is the same president that took out Soleimani, Baghdadi and associates, dropped the mother of all bombs in Afghanistan and defeated the ISIS Caliphate in record time, and he did it without creating or starting a forever war.
This is a guy that is now even negotiating to get back Bagram Air Base, which I think is fascinating from the Taliban after Joe Biden left billions and billions of dollars in sophisticated military technology and equipment in that botched exit, embarrassing exit that resulted in the deaths of innocent Americans because of his stupidity and lack of planning and lack of understanding.
And anyway, and then the president went into great specificity and detail.
His position is simple.
The world's number one state sponsor, terror, cannot be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.
He made Iran a generous offer.
He extended the pledge of full cooperation if they'd suspend their nuclear program.
They didn't listen.
Their answer was to constantly threaten their neighbors and foment terror in the region.
And then he did Operation Bidnight Hammer.
And we had seven American B-2 bombers drop 14,000, 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs on Iran's key nuclear facility.
People have been talking about getting rid of this for 22 years.
He talked a lot and at length about Gaza.
He talked about, and, you know, it's somewhat disconcerting that I'm not sure when I hear, you know, in the halls of Congress on college campuses around the world, the rise of anti-Semitism.
I'm not sure.
There's no moral ambiguity here.
I'm not sure what part of murder, the equivalent based on Israel's population size versus ours, that would be the equivalent of 40,000 Americans dead in a day.
Murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, beheading.
And the fact you couple that with the hundreds of thousands of missiles that over the last number of decades have been fired from either Gaza by Hamas in the south and Lebanon in the north and the Houthi rebels joining in, all funded by Iran.
You know, what point does Israel get to say enough is enough and win its war?
And the president was strongly condemned Hamas and how Hamas is, you know, by the way, in their charter, he didn't mention this part.
They have the destruction, they call for the destruction of Israel.
Hamas elected by the Palestinian people.
People seem to forget that.
Hamas repeatedly rejecting offers to make peace.
You know, can we ever forget what happened on October 7th?
He says we can't.
And he says, you know, and then to continue the conflict, you know, you have these European nations naively, stupidly learning nothing from history.
And then these pundits, dumb as doorknobs.
I wish they would take some of the trips I've taken to Israel and see the network of underground terror tunnels and visit border cities like Starot, hit with 10,000 rockets in 10 years and go into the underground bunker playgrounds because kids can't play outside because it's only a 13-minute window when a Gaza rocket is fired into this border town and talk to the people there and the lives that they live every
single day.
You know, we still are waiting the release of these hostages.
The president called for all of these hostages to be released.
And, you know, he pointed out about Russia.
Everyone thought that Russia could win this war in three days.
Didn't work out that way.
It was supposed to be just a quick little skirmish.
It's not making Russia look good.
5,000 to 7,000 people are dying every week.
And then he said the war wouldn't have started if he was president.
And he talked about China, India.
And then the worst part of this, the people that are funding Putin's war machine, including Western Europe themselves.
That goes back to what I said earlier about Angela Merkel being handed a white flag by Donald Trump.
What's this?
The white flag of surrender.
What do you mean?
Well, you just did a multi-multi-billion dollar energy deal with Russia, and you're going to be dependent on Russian oil.
You're going to make Russia rich.
And the whole purpose of NATO and the whole purpose of a European Union is to stand against Russia aggression.
And, you know, it's every mindset, every establishment mindset was challenged today.
And then he called on every nation to join in ending the development of biological weapons.
You know, back to Europe for just a second here.
You know, he said, why are you adopting, why are you purchasing Russian oil?
He said, it's inexcusable.
NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products, which he said he only found out about two weeks ago.
They are funding the war against themselves.
He actually used that line, which I thought was great.
And the president, you know, took a bold stance against biological weapons, talked about the horror of biological weapons and the development of, for example, what happened with COVID and how these experiments are still going on.
And then he talked about how useless the UN is and the UN budget is being wasted.
And the UN, you know, is supposed to stop invasions.
But he pointed out that they actually financed illegal immigrants coming into our country by providing cash, $372 million.
What is the purpose of that?
The U.S. is an impotent, ignorant, and frankly, they have historically been anti-Semitic and anti-American in their viewpoints.
You know, he goes on to talk about American sovereignty.
It goes on to talk about immigration worldwide.
He pointed out 50% of inmates in German prisons are foreign nationals, illegal immigrants, 53% in Austria.
In Greece, it's 54%.
In Switzerland, it's 72% of people in prisons are not people from Switzerland.
And he says that's how you repay the kindness of being able to go into somebody else's country.
And he just, he challenged it all and pointed out that these countries need not to lose their identity.
And he talked about he's not going to stop taking out, you know, challenging these cartels, these drug and gang members that are destroying America.
And then went on to just eviscerate, you know, the idea of alternative energy, green energy, and talk about how stupid and bad the windmills are.
Actually, it was very funny in talking about how China makes them.
They wouldn't dare use them.
They're not that stupid.
But they make a lot of money selling it.
And then they use coal and gas and oil to fund their economy.
But they don't mind making the windmills and they don't mind helping the green energy agenda.
And he challenged Obama, you know, all the talk about green energy, and he's flying his plane to play golf in Hawaii and flying back.
He said it's a con job at extreme cost and expense.
He went on to explain that China doesn't care.
The rest of the world, I mean, that was the idiocy of the Paris, you know, the climate accords and how stupid it was.
China and India are developing nations and we pay, you know, a thousand times more than they do.
He just challenged everything.
Anyway, it really is worth playing.
I think his best speech ever, I think this defines a different era in American history, a president that stands and is willing to use the power and might of our country and lead the world to make it a better place.
I know all the Democrats, liberals want to talk about is Jimmy Kimmel.
