Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free this Friday.
It is 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
The descriptions from people that have been coming out of Iran in terms of the magnitude of brutality and death and evil and the massacre that has taken place there.
I know the president says he was able to stop the executions.
There's conflicting reports as to whether or not the crackdown continues.
I saw that Lindsey Grant just put out an ex-post.
I just landed in Israel, the one and only Jewish state, America's strongest ally and friend since its founding.
If you think I flew all the way to Israel after having not slept much in days to make sure that we do not hold the Ayatollah's murderous regime accountable for the slaughter of its own people, being the largest state sponsor of terrorism with Americans' blood on its hands, and who has an endless quest to cheat and obtain nuclear weapons to advance their sick religious Nazi beliefs, then you've missed a lot.
I look forward to meeting with our Israeli allies and see how we can build up momentum created by President Trump's bold, unprecedented leadership in Iran, where he picked the people over the Ayatollah.
The people are right to demand an end to this regime.
We cannot allow this historic moment to pass.
And I agree with President Trump.
The downfall of the Ayatollah and the regime would be on par with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Remember, President Trump is not Obama.
I believe he's Reagan Plus.
Now, Mike Walls was at the United Nations.
Obviously, the United Nations, I am tired of us spending billions of dollars annually on an organization that has put countries like Iran and Iraq at the time and Syria on their human rights board.
I mean, it's absolute insanity and madness on their part.
And we pay all of this money and nothing ever happens.
They have a history of nothing but virulent anti-Semitism and, frankly, anti-Americanism.
Mike Walls, who is the ambassador to the UN, said this yesterday.
Unarmed, peaceful people who love their country are taking to the streets in pursuit of their legitimate aspirations for a better future.
Well, this is our message.
President Donald J. Trump and the United States of America stands by the brave people of Iran.
Now, the president himself has said that help is on its way.
I interviewed Trey Yanks last night.
Tensions are high.
Most air travel, except for international travel, is my understanding, has been shut down all throughout the country.
Anyway, the calls for Donald Trump to help out these unarmed people that have been slaughtered, estimated to be well over now 20,000 people, are ongoing.
Listen.
I would say that the Iranian people are deeply hoping for the President Trump's administration to intervene, whether it's through cybersecurity attacks or like federates through a military operation.
So people are waiting for the promised help of President Trump.
I mean, that was a call from the beginning of the protest, right?
Now, Trey Yangst had that interview with somebody who had just escaped from Iran.
Mark Wayne Mullen, Oklahoma senator, said this is not the Arab Spring under Barack Obama.
No matter what the president decides to do, whether it be targeted military strikes under Article II authority or otherwise, we're going to support the freedom of the Iranian people to choose their own leadership.
He joins us now.
Senator, great to have you as always.
How are you, sir?
Sean, I'm doing great.
Thanks for letting me on your show again.
It's always a privilege.
When I was in Washington recently, I had a chance to see Senator Mullen.
I mean, he's a serious martial artist.
Like, you're really into, like, the belt system and working out.
I understand you got, like, how many senators now are you whipping into shape every day?
Oh, we have about 12 that work out us in a bipartisan manner.
But, you know, on the other note, my wife is too.
My wife's actually going for her third degree in karate, and my daughters are in karate, too.
And, you know, she used to be a kickboxer herself, so I apologize quickly to her.
The reason why I stay in shape and I still can, I don't compete in jiu-jitsu, but I still roll in jiu-jitsu is so she can't abuse me as bad as she used to.
Oh, ouch.
Sounds like a modern day marriage to me.
Congratulations.
This is serious.
I mean, we've seen the images.
Unfortunately, I've seen images that I can't air on television.
You probably have seen them also.
And I have not seen the level of horror and evil, it just shocks one's conscience.
Over the years, I've, you know, as part of my job, I've had to look at beheadings, ISIS beheadings, for example.
I've had to look at, you know, I saw videos from the IDF of what actually took place on the ground that day on October 7th.
It shocks the conscience.
These are not images that you will ever forget in the course of your life.
They're etched into your memory as like this horror.
And those are the images that I've seen coming out of Iran.
And I can't obviously play them on TV because you never know young children are watching.
I mean, this could literally change somebody forever.
Is that horrifying?
And it changes.
It actually takes a sense of innocence from you.
You know, I have spent a lot of time in the Middle East.
I've worked in the Middle East.
And one thing they do understand is peace through strength.
But the type of humanity that we have in the United States is not any comparable to what they go through every day when they live underneath a murderous regime like this.
I mean, keep in mind, Sean, in Iran in 1977, the year I was born, you would argue that Iran was more westernized than the United States.
I mean, they had more women elected to public office than the United States did.
They had more professionals working in the workplace that were women than the United States did.
And then when the regime, the murderous regime came in and overthrew the shawl and ever since then, you know, they killed thousands, if not indirectly or directly around the world because of the number one sponsor of terror.
They also don't allow women to even teach their own children, much less little girls, how to read and write.
If they do, they'll literally be stoned in public for it because they believe Sharia law is the law of not the land, the law of the world.
And so when the president has expressed strength and the world knows that the president doesn't bluff because now we've not only seen what his capability is and overrunning Iran's defense system and taking out their nuclear system, he's also proved that we can go and get you wherever you're at with very precision type of a strike with Maduro.
And that type of strength that the president has expressed has got these, has got individuals' attention because keep in mind, during that 12-day war, the president made it very clear he knew where the Ayatollah and the rest of the murderous regime in Iran was at, and he could have taken them out at any given time.
Right now, I bet you that technology where we knew that they were there is still in existence.
And so in those images that you're talking about, Sean, the recent briefing I just received was even something I hadn't seen in quite some time.
The hospitals that Iran has, The Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which is comparable to the SS for the Germans, extremely loyal to the regime.
They have stationed people at the hospitals and are refusing care to anyone with a gunshot room or beating or life and death is literally making doctors lay them out on the street and slowly watch them die.
And that's the most humane way we've seen it.
We've also seen extreme torture taking place by the Revolutionary Guard by these people by making them examples.
So it's horrifying, and I know the president has seen it.
So let me be clear because I want to understand, I want this audience to understand.
Now, the administration apparently did stop over 800 scheduled executions.
I don't know if they've taken place in the interim, but that was as of yesterday.
Yes.
And however, is the crackdown continuing?
Are they still actively involved in shooting and killing these protesters?
To my knowledge, unless it's changed in the last 15 hours, the answer to that is yes.
Yes, it is still happening.
I believe the reason why the president hasn't gone in for two reasons.
One, he'll go in on his own time when he's ready to make a very impactful strike, not just a strike for messaging pieces, but an impactful strike that's precision-driven and target-driven.
And also the Arab nations in the region are trying to work diplomacy, which doesn't work for the murderous regime.
It's time for the regime to move.
But the president is working with the Arab nations around there because we've got to think of what the next option is, too.
Because like I said, we're not into the regime change like Secretary Hillary Clinton was, which caused chaos.
We want Iranian people to be able to have a democracy that they choose to live underneath and restore the freedoms that they once used to have, because that generation that lost it still is alive today and they still remember it.
All right, quick break more with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen on the other side.
800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, we're going to get to your calls in a minute.
800-941-Sean, a final moments with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma, who's with us.
You see, I mean, it's far more complicated than I think a lot of people would understand.
Donald Trump can say, okay, I'm going to crack down.
I'm a big believer in the Trump doctrine.
I think the president has thread the needle perfectly in terms of using the absolute might and power of the United States military as a force for good around the world.
Defeating ISIS, to me, it was a no-brainer.
Thank God he did it.
That's the convert or die mentality ideology.
I think taking out Iran's nuclear sites, that wasn't complicated for me.
They had a window of opportunity.
They took it.
The world would be a far more dangerous place if the Iranian mullahs ever had those weapons of mass destruction.
I think also taking out Soleimani, who's killed many Americans included, and the people that are the number one state sponsor of terror, all of these things.
What do you say to those people?
And there are even some people in our party that believe in isolationism, and they don't support the Trump doctrine.
The Trump doctrine is no boots on the ground, no forever wars, but that doesn't mean no military action.
What is America to do?
Does America, if possible, if they can help people in the middle of a slaughter, you know, do we, should we have the moral obligation to do something if we can help?
Again, keeping within the parameters of that doctrine.
I believe we should.
Well, let's look at Iran and the threat they've had to the United States chanting death to America for 40 years.
They are a threat.
So it is in the United States' interest for this regime to be removed.
Now, that doesn't mean we get involved in every conflict around the world.
We've got to make sure it's our interest.
But being an isolationist, we're not an isolationist country because our economy is not isolationist.
Our currency isn't isolationist.
Peace through strength shows that there is a superpower for good.
China is not a superpower for good.
China is a superpower for China.
The United States is a superpower for good, supporting the democracy, just supporting individuals and supporting America's interests home and abroad.
And so we have to be out there.
There's going to be in the world since history has been written, there's always been a superpower out there.
There's just never been one like the United States because we're not into conquering.
We're into expanding our freedoms and expanding the opportunities for people home and abroad.
So it's hard sometimes when you deal with someone like Rand Paul because he looks in his world in his own backyard and the world doesn't exist that way.
President Trump isn't looking for wars to expand like underneath Obama and Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State.
What the president is trying to do is end the wars.
That's why he's already ended eight wars.
That's why he's trying to end the war in Russia and Ukraine.
That's why he's used peace through strength by using precision by going in and taking out Maduro, who was destabilizing the entire region and poisoning our streets.
That's why he ended the nuclear threat that Iran had, which would have completely destabilized the entire Middle East.
And so the president's approach is absolutely, as you said, Sean, spot on.
And someone has to be there.
And I'd rather it be us than someone else.
I'd rather it be us too because look, I just believe in the natural state of man.
Our framers and founders, they all discussed this, that we were born to be free beings, all created by the same God.
And unfortunately, if you look at the last century, for example, 100 million human souls murdered in the name of some ism, communism.
Look at Mao and China and Stalin and Russia and Hitler and Nazi Germany and fascism and Mussolini.
There is evil in the world.
And, you know, but for a country that, you know, stands for good and has the strength of the United States, I see this as a very dark, evil, ugly world full of death and destruction like the videos that unfortunately I had to see this week.
And you're right.
It is a life-altering.
It does change you and it never leaves you.
And trust me, when I tell people they don't want to see the things that I'm sure you've seen and I've seen and that they'll never see on TV because you'll never erase those images from your mind.
We really appreciate you, Mark Wayne Monde.
I'm not going to roll with you.
I'm just too old for that, but we can compare notes because I've been training now for 15 years.
I'm not into the belt system.
I'm into an eclectic blend of arts and situational self-defense.
And I do a workout with it.
So I'm sure yours is different and hard.
And maybe we'll show you the things we do too.
And you'd have fun with it.
I'd love to work out with you.
Remember, you're into confidence building, which competence building brings assurance in who you are and what you do.
So that is more important than anything by having a belt patcher around your waist.
Appreciate you.
Oklahoma Senator Mark Waymullen.
Thank you.
All right.
Let's go to Ryan in North Carolina.
Ryan, hi, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Sean, thanks for taking my call today.
Real quick, I just wanted to get your thoughts on some of the tactics we're seeing ICE use in Minneapolis.
Obviously, illegal immigration is a huge problem in the U.S.
And, you know, Trump was elected to do something about it.
But we're seeing a lot of instances of American citizens being detained by ICE for refusing to ID when there's really no suspicion of them being an illegal other than them being Hispanic or whatever, or we're seeing them go door to door in just random knock raids.
It just seems like we may be taking some of this a little bit too far and we may be delving into some things that could be against the Fourth Amendment.
I'm not saying that everything has been done perfectly by ICE, but I think you got to look at the big picture.
And I think this is very important and a question that you're raising.
And they've not been perfect.
No law enforcement is ever perfect.
But when you look at the, number one, the magnitude of the problem under Biden, Harris, Mayorkas, again, we've mentioned this many times, 12 to whatever many million people unveted allowed in the country.
Among them are terrorists, known terrorists, murderers, rapists, other violent criminals, cartel members, gang members, drug dealers.
I have a list in front of me of 16 pages long of the worst illegals under President Trump since he's gotten back into office from all over the globe that have been convicted of murder, manslaughter, rape, assault, drugs.
I can't tell you the number of instances where children are sexually assaulted, raped, brutalized, trafficking, and the list goes on and on and on.
And so that is the majority of the cases.
The media would like to highlight on the few cases where maybe they had suspicion and maybe it turns out that they were not right.
Now, there are cases where if there are people, do I think they should be using their resources and going to places like Home Depot or Target?
I think adjustments already have been made.
As a matter of fact, I know they've been made.
And they are really focused on the vast, overwhelming number of illegals that are criminal aliens.
But I will say this, and I played this earlier in the week, both on radio and TV, when Barack Obama used ICE to get rid of illegals.
Most of them were not criminal aliens.
Most of them were in the country illegally.
ICE was mandated to go get them, and it was never an issue.
And the only difference that I see here is the problem is at a magnitude that is a thousand times worse, the threat level to American citizens that much greater.
And it's a clear and present danger to the safety and security of people in every small town and big city around the country.
It's an acute problem that has to be dealt with.
And it was the most preventable national security disaster in the world.
And they're not going to be perfect every time.
I don't think I don't like any mistakes, but it's inevitable considering the magnitude of the problem that was handed off to these agents.
And I think we got to give them a little bit of slack.
I think it's a hard job what they're doing.
And they don't know who they're dealing with on the other side of anything.
They don't know that a woman in a car is about to accelerate towards them.
They don't know if the person's armed.
They don't know if they're going to grab shovels and broom handles like what happened this week in Minnesota and go after them.
So you see what's happening to them.
The atmosphere is horrible.
And a lot of these people are being the activists are being whipped up by elected officials calling them Gestapo and Nazis and terrorists and fascists.
And that has done nothing but pour kerosene on an already inflamed situation caused, again, by Biden, Harris, and Democrats in general and their sanctuary state policies and city policies.
And so it's very, very difficult to, it's a very complicated issue at times.
It's not black and white.
Sean, I understand where you're coming from.
And, you know, there's no argument for me that we want to get rid of those illegals who have been convicted of rape, murder, all these horrible crimes, you know, because they're a clear and present danger to American citizens.
But you don't know who they are.
In other words, when you're looking for illegals, and for example, you're told this particular area has a lot of illegals in it.
With every individual you are encountering, how are you ever able to ascertain their status if you don't talk to them, if you don't stop them and say, okay, may I see your license?
Let me ask you, if a cop pulls you over and says, can I have your license and registration, you did nothing wrong.
Would it bother you?
I mean, if I did nothing wrong and the cop acknowledges I did nothing wrong, why is he pulling me over to begin with?
Okay, but I'm saying, if a cop, let's say you're not speeding, let's say your taillight's not out, but you get pulled over, can I have your license and registration?
is your reaction um if i'm getting pulled over by a cop i'm going to give him my license and registration but that's and you're going to say yes sir and And they're going to say, okay, thank you, appreciate it, and send you on your way, right?
Correct.
But it's a little different when you're driving than having a cop just walk up to you and say, hey, give me your ID without any other reasonable suspicion that a crime was committed.
And I know the burden on ICE officers has been lessened in the recent Supreme Court case, but it just seems like it sets a really dangerous precedent that could be easily abused by Democrats if they're ever in power again.
I hear what you're saying, but I think the threat level is such that we better get rid of these people.
I mean, in Minnesota alone, the worst illegals, I'll scroll it again on TV tonight.
Take a good hard look at it.
And then you ask whether or not people need to cooperate with ICE.
And for example, if you talk to somebody on the street and they don't speak English, what do you think the odds are that they may be illegal?
I would say that that would be a reasonable and articulable suspicion that, yeah, that person may not be here legally.
But, you know, there's a lot of cases, as I said, they're going to.
Or they speak very little English.
I mean, is that reasonable to you?
That would be reasonable, but we're seeing a lot of enforcement efforts where they're just going and knocking on.
No, we're not really seeing a lot.
What you're seeing is a corrupt legacy media that is never telling you about the worst illegals that I have been putting on the air.
The worst of the worst that are being arrested and the good job that they are doing.
And they'll focus on the one or two cases where maybe they made a mistake or maybe it was somebody that is in the country legally.
And I'm not saying I want any mistakes.
I don't, but I don't expect perfection either, especially considering, again, as I said, the magnitude of this.
But I appreciate the call.
I want them to get it right.
And I think that the president is keenly aware of where their focus should be, as is Tom Holman and Christy Noam and all the leaders.
They're aware of this issue.
They don't want to go after people that are in the country legally.
They don't.
That's not their mission.
Their mission is to find the bad guys.
It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program this Friday.
James, Texas, next Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, James?
God bless Texas.
Yeah, thanks, John.
This is James from Corpus Christi, Texas.
I've just got a couple of things.
First off, if the blue states would honor the detainers, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
But what I'd like for you to do is be a lot safer for everybody, wouldn't it?
That's a great point.
Yeah.
I want you to text Donald Trump for me for James from Corpus Christi.
Hang on.
Mr. President, James Corpus Christi.
Go ahead.
I'm taking notes.
Okay.
Before he, you know, pulls the trigger on the Insurrection Act.
Okay.
Donald Trump is, he's, you know, how good he is on the phone.
And he needs to talk him off a cliff.
Otherwise, he's going to go down as the worst governor in the history of forever.
Here it is, gone down as the worst governor ever.
I mean, he's a disaster.
And I'll tell you right now, I think he's probably going to get indicted.
I think that the odds are very high that that would happen with Tim Walz.
Now, I don't say that in a cavalier fashion because we've expected those types of things to happen in the past and they don't.
But anyway, I'll give you the last word.
And I'm not talking about a Zoom call where he's got five people on your team and five.
I'm talking about just one of those night calls, just the two of them.
And let's talk this through.
Tell Trump that James said to do that.
James from Corpus Christi.
Now, the reason for my call, the main reason for my call, is you talked often about your early career and food services and construction and so on and so forth.
And then you ended up in radio.
And I don't really see you as a broadcaster or a host.
I see you as an entrepreneur.
And all really successful entrepreneurs, which you are, always had that one moment, that one thing.
What was that one moment with you that got you out of painting houses or not out, but you did them at the same time that made you walk into a radio station?
Was it an ad?
You didn't have the internet back then.
That was Flintstone times.
What was that thing?
It's a listen.
When I get more deeply into the podcast that we're doing, and I'll have an announcement about that soon.
These are topics that I'll get into great detail on.
Let me give you the short version.
And I have discussed it before, but I don't know why.
But when I was very young, and I mean 11, 12, 13, I was obsessed with radio.
I mean, and I would listen to it all the time.
And the only thing I did was watch sports on TV.
At that time, I was watching like the Mets, baseball, hockey, and things like that.
But I was obsessed.
And the great pioneers of talk radio, they were formulating talk radio in my youth.
It was not a big thing.
I mean, Barry Farber, Barry Gray, when I lived in Rhode Island, people like Jerry Williams and Gene Burns and David Brudnoy.
I mean, these phenomenal hosts.
And I was obsessed.
My father would scream at me to shut the radio off.
I didn't know why.
I have no idea why.
I remember Barry Farber, God rest his soul, he passed away.
I was friends with him until he passed away.
And Barry Farber said, go get a globe.
And he explained Soviet expansionism, the former Soviet Union, and Hungary and Poland and Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.
And, you know, he was just brilliant.
He spoke like 50 languages.
It was insane.
And so to cut to the chase, is then I went from the restaurant business and then I was in the construction business because I was working my way in and out of college and I'd run out of money and then I'd go back to work, run out of money, go back to school, you know, and go back to work.
And I'd be up on a ladder and I started calling talk radio shows.
And I started to realize that people, I want to talk to that guy that said he's on a ladder.
And people responded more to what I said.
I was very passionate about it.
Then the Iran-Contra hearings happened and I was all over it.
And then at the time, I had moved to California.
I just packed up and moved.
Don't ask me why, just on a whim.
And I saw that there was a local radio station at a college campus that gave shows to people in the community.
And I went down and I applied.
And I can tell you, I did my first show.
That light went on.
I was scared to death.
And it changed my life.
I didn't, I wanted to do nothing else.
That was it.
I love that.
I love that.
And I hung out at that radio station.
They hated me.
Like everyone else, I was terrible.
I deserved to get fired.
I did.
And but then once they took the mic away from me, I wanted to do nothing else.
That's all I wanted to do.
And then I put an ad in a trade paper.
I got hired in Huntsville, Alabama.
My first professional job was 1990.
I'd started in 87 or 8.
And lo and behold, I was making $19,000 a year.
And I'd never been happier, far less than I was making in construction, believe it or not.
But I didn't care.
I loved it.
I tell young people all the time, find what you love and then find a way to make money at it.
And I never expected to be successful ever.
TV was never in the equation, ever.
And I think I've lived an undeserved life and I still love it today.
I don't work.
I didn't work in the beginning for money.
I don't work for money today.
But yeah, I've become a pretty good businessman and I do all sorts of other things that, you know, because I get bored easily.
And, but most of my day is spent studying.
And I love it.
And I'm blessed.
And I thank God every day for the ability to have this microphone and that camera every night.
I hope that does that answer your question.
Yes.
Now be sure to text Mr. Trump, Donald Trump.
I know.
James Corpus Christi, Texas.
Got it.
All right, man.
Appreciate it.
800-941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Linda, do you like my answer?
Oh, yeah.
You don't sound very enthusiastic.
I didn't like that answer.
I didn't like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I just, I'm amazed that people are like, yeah, you know, in your free time, Sean, if you could just reach out to the president for me.
