=== Reality Shows and Abuse (09:25) ===

[00:00:00]  This is an iHeart podcast.
[00:00:02]  Guaranteed human.
[00:00:29]  And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
[00:00:33]  And I've taught a lot of undocumented students, and those students tended to be my most patriotic students.
[00:00:41]  Businesses looking at Texas, they're not going there because they have a nicer governor.
[00:00:45]  I know that for sure.
[00:00:47]  But they're going there because of the tax rate.
[00:00:49]  No, Jim Crow 2.0.
[00:00:52]  No Jim Crow 2.0.
[00:00:55]  All right.
[00:00:56]  Freedom is back in style.
[00:00:59]  Welcome to the Revolution.
[00:01:02]  Where we're coming to your city.
[00:01:07]  Going to play our guitars and sing you a contra song.
[00:01:11]  Sean Hennerty, the new Sean Hannity show.
[00:01:14]  More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
[00:01:23]  Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
[00:01:28]  And news roundup, information overload hour.
[00:01:30]  Here's our toll-free number.
[00:01:31]  We'll get a lot of your calls in this final half hour.
[00:01:33]  It's 800-941.
[00:01:34]  Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, have you ever seen Linda a copy of or the show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?
[00:01:47]  Have you ever seen that?
[00:01:49]  I have not.
[00:01:50]  I actually have.
[00:01:52]  Don't ask me why.
[00:01:53]  I have people over the house.
[00:01:55]  What's not in my free time?
[00:01:57]  In your free time?
[00:01:57]  In my free time.
[00:01:58]  In my free time.
[00:02:00]  No, it's not my favorite.
[00:02:02]  All those shows, the housewife shows, all of these things, these people are nuts.
[00:02:07]  A lot of these people are cray cray.
[00:02:10]  I'm not saying all of them.
[00:02:11]  I'm just speaking more generally, my observation, not exactly the type of people I'd want to be with.
[00:02:16]  All right.
[00:02:17]  So it's a bunch of kind of like rebel Mormon wives and it's basically the real housewives.
[00:02:24]  If you've ever seen any episode of any one, they're kind of all the same.
[00:02:28]  And there's so much drama.
[00:02:30]  It just is, I mean, it gives you a headache.
[00:02:32]  But I just happened to catch this show, maybe an episode or two.
[00:02:37]  And anyway, there is one of the people on this, and she's kind of a dominant personality on the show from what I can pick up.
[00:02:43]  Her name is Taylor Frankie Paul.
[00:02:46]  And anyway, I guess she was so popular that she was going to be on the latest season of The Bachelorette, which I guess some people like to watch that show.
[00:02:56]  Have you ever watched that show?
[00:02:58]  So I'm going to teach you and tell you a little something about me.
[00:03:02]  I do not watch, I do not watch any reality television at all.
[00:03:07]  I have a hard enough time.
[00:03:09]  I have seen episodes of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Older Bachelor, whatever you want.
[00:03:14]  I've never even seen one, not one.
[00:03:16]  I'll be honest, because my daughter likes to watch some of this garbage and she makes me like check it out.
[00:03:21]  I'm like, oh, good grief.
[00:03:22]  Why do you watch this stuff?
[00:03:24]  But what's your question?
[00:03:25]  You should be watching your dad.
[00:03:28]  Although she more and more is interested in coming to like podcasts.
[00:03:31]  Like she wanted to meet Matthew Kachuck.
[00:03:34]  I mean, so she came to that podcast.
[00:03:37]  The video podcast, we've not, yeah.
[00:03:39]  I mean, so there's certain people, if she wants to meet them, she'll come meet them.
[00:03:43]  So she is more and more interested as she gets older and stuff.
[00:03:46]  But anyway, so I check this out.
[00:03:48]  I'm just like, good.
[00:03:49]  It's like a, this is train wreck television.
[00:03:52]  And maybe that's the allure of it.
[00:03:54]  Although it doesn't have massive ratings.
[00:03:56]  I've looked at the ratings of those shows.
[00:03:57]  They're not really that high up.
[00:03:59]  Anyway, long story short, she was going to be in the next episode or the next installment or this season's version of The Bachelorette.
[00:04:09]  In light of the newly released video that just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family.
[00:04:23]  Okay.
[00:04:23]  TMZ comes up with this video showing this person, the star of the Secret Lives of Mormon wives in the upcoming season, repeatedly just beating the crap out of her partner, some guy named Dakota Mortensen.
[00:04:41]  I don't know how to say his name.
[00:04:42]  Anyway, and anyway, the guy recorded the whole thing.
[00:04:46]  She's throwing chairs at the guy, like multiple chairs, and just beating on this guy, pounding on this guy.
[00:04:54]  And you don't get the full flavor of it.
[00:04:56]  Maybe we'll show the video tonight.
[00:04:58]  But anyway, let's play it.
[00:05:02]  Yeah.
[00:05:03]  Yeah, look at you.
[00:05:05]  Look, look.
[00:05:06]  Yeah, look.
[00:05:08]  This is called physical abuse.
[00:05:10]  Come on.
[00:05:12]  Yeah.
[00:05:17]  Yeah.
[00:05:17]  See, Taylor, this is all you do.
[00:05:20]  It's the only thing you know how to do.
[00:05:22]  I guess Liver's okay.
[00:05:23]  Holy shit.
[00:05:25]  I don't let me go.
[00:05:28]  Stop.
[00:05:30]  Dude, leave me alone.
[00:05:32]  Oh, my.
[00:05:34]  Oh, my God.
[00:05:38]  I mean, there's a little girl there, and she's wailing one chair after another at this guy.
[00:05:43]  Now, and in all fairness to the guy, short of just running out the door, which is what I would have recommended for him.
[00:05:52]  I mean, he didn't fight back.
[00:05:54]  He recorded it.
[00:05:56]  Now, she apparently pled guilty in this case already to aggravated assaults from this incident.
[00:06:03]  Apparently, it happened in 2023.
[00:06:07]  I don't understand.
[00:06:09]  If you don't like your partner, your spouse, your significant other that much, what are you doing?
[00:06:16]  Why would anybody ever act like that?
[00:06:19]  Are you asking me this question?
[00:06:21]  Of course, I'm asking you the question.
[00:06:23]  Because I, so there's so many things wrong with this.
[00:06:27]  I'm sure that I haven't seen this video.
[00:06:29]  I don't, I'm hearing it for the first time as you're playing this.
[00:06:33]  People like this that are on, I would think, multiple reality shows from what you just said.
[00:06:38]  She's on this Mormon show, and then she was scheduled to be on another reality show.
[00:06:43]  Like, go get a job.
[00:06:44]  Go get a real job.
[00:06:46]  Be a mother.
[00:06:46]  Raise your children.
[00:06:47]  Maybe not attack your husband in front of your children.
[00:06:50]  I mean, it's the same thing.
[00:06:52]  Domestic abuse is a serious thing, whether it's, you know, women against men or men against women.
[00:06:56]  I think unfortunately for men, when they have these psycho-women in their lives who are attacking them, hurting them.
[00:07:02]  Well, let me ask you this question.
[00:07:03]  It's a hard question.
[00:07:05]  Wait, I wasn't done.
[00:07:06]  But they don't have marriage.
[00:07:10]  Well, I was going to ask, what if it was a guy doing this?
[00:07:12]  He'd be in jail.
[00:07:14]  He wouldn't be for exactly.
[00:07:16]  Put her ass in jail.
[00:07:17]  She should be in jail.
[00:07:19]  I can't stand the double standard.
[00:07:21]  It honestly, it goes across the board, the double standard for men versus women.
[00:07:26]  Women always get the fair, you know, they get they're privileged in court, and it's not right.
[00:07:32]  Men get just as abused by women.
[00:07:34]  And a lot of times in these, you know, domestic abuse situations, it's men that should be getting custody of the children because these women are nuts.
[00:07:42]  It's not fair.
[00:07:44]  The only thing I can say that this guy did right was record it and he didn't fight back.
[00:07:49]  I would have grabbed that.
[00:07:51]  I would have scooped her up and I would have got out of that house.
[00:07:54]  I don't know if he could.
[00:07:55]  It sounds like Daughter, it's probably her daughter, but if I was him, and if anyone ever finds themselves in a situation like this, you know, there's certain rules that guys have to a code that men have to live by.
[00:08:10]  Number one is certain words you never use in front of a woman, period.
[00:08:14]  You just don't use them.
[00:08:16]  You know, you could basically run through the alphabet and figure out what they are, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, you know, and go on from there.
[00:08:22]  And another thing is, I was raised very old school.
[00:08:26]  When my sisters would fight me and I would fight back, and I was the youngest, I got in trouble.
[00:08:33]  I was always the one to get in trouble for defending myselves when they were wailing on me.
[00:08:38]  I'd get in trouble for fighting back.
[00:08:40]  And I learned the lesson.
[00:08:42]  And my father's rule was very clear: you never raise your hand to a woman.
[00:08:45]  I'm like, dad, they're kicking the crap out of me.
[00:08:47]  What do you want me to do?
[00:08:49]  But it did stick with me.
[00:08:50]  It's a little different when you're young and seven, eight years old.
[00:08:54]  I agree.
[00:08:54]  And I think in this situation, again, clearly this woman has problems.
[00:08:59]  I don't know to the extent of what her problems are, but you can't raise your hands to your spouse.
[00:09:05]  And you certainly can't raise your hands to anybody with small children in the room.
[00:09:10]  The hypothetical abuse is terrible.
[00:09:11]  By the way, and which of my sisters do you think was the worst offender?
[00:09:15]  You know her and love her.
[00:09:16]  I do love her.
[00:09:17]  She tough.
[00:09:19]  No, this is the one I wish would love me less.
[00:09:22]  I mean, she just is constantly on top of me.

=== Money, Control, and Advice (15:12) ===

[00:09:25]  But dude, buddy, did you sleep a lot?
[00:09:26]  Buddy, buddy, you go too fast.
[00:09:30]  The first time I met her and she started to talk to you, I don't know if you remember this many minutes ago, but she kept calling you buddy.
[00:09:36]  So I asked you, I was like, is that like your nickname?
[00:09:39]  Like, why does she, she doesn't even say your name?
[00:09:41]  And you were like, no.
[00:09:42]  She's been calling me that my entire life.
[00:09:44]  You know this guy, Nick Shirley?
[00:09:46]  How old is that kid?
[00:09:47]  Do we know how old he is?
[00:09:48]  I think he's like 23.
[00:09:51]  Okay, he's the one that exposed all of the fraud, Somalia community in terms of daycare and hospice and all this stuff.
[00:09:59]  Now he's gone into California.
[00:10:01]  He's exposed $170 million worth of fraud that he thinks he found out in California.
[00:10:08]  And for example, there's a report, you know, he found this one office building on a side street in Los Angeles is now being labeled as ground zero, an example of, you know, suspected widespread hospice care fraud and child care fraud.
[00:10:25]  And anyway, this 32,000 square foot stucco glass building in Van Nuys in California, in the neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley, reportedly the home of 89 licensed hospice companies.
[00:10:38]  And he keeps showing up where these facilities are supposed to be and nobody's there.
[00:10:43]  Unbelievable.
[00:10:46]  Not only is nobody there, there's nothing there.
[00:10:49]  There's no equipment.
[00:10:50]  There are no beds.
[00:10:52]  It's not outfitted to be a hospice center.
[00:10:55]  It's just blank empty space.
[00:10:58]  I want to know why kids can't read, write, do math, and why we are failing.
[00:11:03]  We spend more per capita on education per child than any other industrialized country in the world with the worst results.
[00:11:10]  I'll give you the latest example.
[00:11:11]  Chicago Teachers Union petitioning the local school board to excuse any student absences so they can join the union's anti-Trump protest.
[00:11:22]  I mean, no wonder these kids can't read, write, do math, science, you know, and they're not ready for, you know, the real world when they become adults.
[00:11:32]  Is it any wonder?
[00:11:33]  It's horrible.
[00:11:34]  Public schooling is a very scary thing.
[00:11:36]  And I will tell you, it is one of the reasons why we're pulling our youngest out.
[00:11:40]  We can't do it anymore.
[00:11:41]  Not to mention the fact that you go to homeschool?
[00:11:45]  No, I'm going to do Catholic school.
[00:11:45]  You're sent to a private school.
[00:11:47]  Yeah, I'm going to do Catholic school.
[00:11:48]  We have a private school.
[00:11:51]  My parents couldn't afford anything, but they worked overtime.
[00:11:54]  My mom lived in a prison because she was a prison guard.
[00:11:57]  It's kind of sad because she was a valedictorian in her class.
[00:12:01]  The most brilliant woman I knew, she could do the New York Times crossroad puzzle.
[00:12:04]  Have you ever tried to do that?
[00:12:05]  She can do it.
[00:12:06]  It's very difficult.
[00:12:07]  Yeah, that's hardcore.
[00:12:10]  I'm lucky if I can fill in three spaces.
[00:12:12]  I mean, she would have been the person that went on Jeopardy and would set the record.
[00:12:16]  I mean, she died young because she worked herself to death.
[00:12:20]  But my parents did that so their kids could go to Catholic schools and get a better education.
[00:12:25]  And frankly, also to get out of the neighborhood because they didn't like, you know, me hanging out with all the kids in the neighborhood because they knew we were up to no good, which wasn't always true.
[00:12:34]  We play sports, but there'd be no good associated with the sports.
[00:12:38]  Just saying.
[00:12:39]  All right, quick break, right back.
[00:12:40]  More of your calls coming up this Friday, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
[00:12:52]  Question.
[00:12:53]  How many liberals does it take to make a common sense statement?
[00:13:00]  Yep, you're right.
[00:13:02]  Fake news, not even possible.
[00:13:05]  You're locked in on The Hannity Show.
[00:13:36]  All right, back to our phones this busy Friday, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program.
[00:13:42]  Jim in California.
[00:13:43]  Jim, how are you?
[00:13:44]  Happy Friday.
[00:13:45]  Glad you called.
[00:13:45]  I was wanting to talk to you about the housing market here in California.
[00:13:49]  Just tell you a little story about what's going on here.
[00:13:53]  My wife and I, we make, you know, make a decent living, and we're going to try to buy a house.
[00:14:00]  We got two daughters.
[00:14:01]  We were going to try to buy a house, and we found a house that we wanted in the 400s, you know, three high threes, low 400s, and credit's good and all that.
[00:14:13]  And we went to the bank, and they said our income's not high enough.
[00:14:18]  And then, right, you know, right behind me, I see all these illegal, illegals here in California that are getting free housing, free housing, and all this free medical, and everything's free.
[00:14:31]  But, and we're close to $100,000 a year is our salary.
[00:14:36]  I would think that would be enough to afford that house.
[00:14:39]  Do you have enough?
[00:14:40]  Can I get personal?
[00:14:41]  You don't have to answer this question.
[00:14:43]  How much money are you putting down on the house?
[00:14:45]  It was going to be $20,000.
[00:14:46]  Okay.
[00:14:48]  What if you put down a little bit more?
[00:14:50]  Would that help?
[00:14:51]  Well, what they said, they said our debt to income, that with how much the house would be, we would not qualify that with our income would not qualify for the monthly payment.
[00:15:01]  Now, I don't know what your situation is, but I'm going to throw something out at you.
[00:15:05]  What kind of work are you in?
[00:15:08]  I work for Water District, County in the State of California.
[00:15:13]  And you probably have a lot of years on the books, and you're probably, how many years away from retirement?
[00:15:18]  I am 12 years away from retirement.
[00:15:21]  How many years have you served?
[00:15:23]  We're going on 18.
[00:15:25]  You see, I really hate this because now you're kind of trapped because you've been building up this retirement.
[00:15:31]  You have to, you know, get those 12 years in to get it.
[00:15:35]  And now you're kind of shut out of the market.
[00:15:37]  This is why your state's going bankrupt.
[00:15:40]  You can thank Gavin Newsom in the highest income taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, and they still can't balance their budget because of all the freebies he's giving in his sanctuary, state, and city to illegal immigrants, including Medi-Cal, health care, education, other welfare programs.
[00:16:00]  And this is why your state is such a mess.
[00:16:04]  And I would otherwise have told you to get out, but I understand you can't run away from that pension.
[00:16:09]  That pension is going to mean a lot to you in your old age.
[00:16:12]  You can't run away from that.
[00:16:13]  I wouldn't advise you to run away from that.
[00:16:15]  The only thing I would suggest, if there's anybody in your life that maybe knows that you are somebody of good character and that they could co-sign the loan or lend you a little bit more money for a down payment and you'd be able to pay them back and you could afford that, you know, look for creative ways to get around that and maybe make the math work.
[00:16:38]  That's my best advice, but it sucks because you see all around you all your money going to pay for all these people that don't even belong in your state.
[00:16:46]  It sucks.
[00:16:47]  And I'm sorry about that.
[00:16:48]  I really, because, you know, to me, when I got my first house in life, paid $100 and, I don't know, $12,000 for it in Georgia, I was so happy.
[00:16:57]  To me, I had achieved so much of my life.
[00:17:00]  And I was so grateful.
[00:17:02]  And I'm still grateful today that I can live in a nice house, to be honest.
[00:17:06]  Anyway, I wish you luck, you and your wife.
[00:17:09]  But as soon as you get your pension, I'd get the hell out of there.
[00:17:12]  That's my humble advice.
[00:17:13]  Maybe go to Nevada, Arizona.
[00:17:16]  I don't know, Texas.
[00:17:17]  But I mentioned earlier, Chuck Norris passed away.
[00:17:21]  Knew him.
[00:17:21]  I knew his wife, Gina.
[00:17:23]  They were lovely, lovely people.
[00:17:26]  Ethan, doing great production for us, went back in time, found a clip of Chuck on this show explaining why he can't run for office because he'd end up choking out any opponent for attacking his character.
[00:17:40]  Listen.
[00:17:41]  You follow the politics very closely.
[00:17:42]  Both of you do.
[00:17:44]  You're not happy with the direction of the country.
[00:17:46]  Oh, heck no.
[00:17:47]  You know, it's really, you know, I feel like I'm in a nightmare and I can't wake up, John.
[00:17:52]  And I really don't, you know, I wish I knew what to do.
[00:17:56]  You know, the thing is, I have solutions, but, you know, why don't you run?
[00:18:02]  No, no, there's a solution.
[00:18:04]  Why wouldn't you, Chuck Norris, could be governor of Texas one day?
[00:18:07]  You know why?
[00:18:08]  Because I'd be sitting here with my opponent and debating, and then he'd start attacking my character, and I'd jump over there and choke him unconscious.
[00:18:18]  You have more control than that.
[00:18:20]  I don't.
[00:18:21]  He probably would.
[00:18:22]  He'd probably get a lot more money.
[00:18:23]  That's the problem.
[00:18:24]  I have a thin skin, and it was really tough in the film world.
[00:18:28]  And believe me, in the political world, I'd be killing himself.
[00:18:32]  He was a very special guy.
[00:18:34]  I mean, he would devote so much of his time to young people and helping them, teaching young kids self-defense and, you know, getting them disciplined in martial arts and giving them purpose.
[00:18:48]  He was amazing.
[00:18:50]  Now, on the other end of the scale, James Carville continues his spiral downward.
[00:18:56]  I don't know what's happened to him, but this is not the guy that I once knew.
[00:19:01]  He used to be fun to hang out with.
[00:19:04]  Now I got full-term derangement syndrome.
[00:19:07]  I got it.
[00:19:08]  I don't want to get rid of it.
[00:19:09]  I ask God Almighty to bless me with more Trump derangement syndrome.
[00:19:14]  That's what I'm asking.
[00:19:16]  Almighty God, to bless me with more.
[00:19:18]  Going crazy.
[00:19:19]  This is his latest rant about Donald Trump.
[00:19:22]  And you son of a, you sorry, low-life sack, you nothing.
[00:19:27]  You're going to tell parents who are trying to teach kids how to read.
[00:19:30]  You'll tell parents who have children that have learning challenges.
[00:19:34]  You tell parents who have children that learn differently.
[00:19:37]  You're going to tell them that kid can't go after any president.
[00:19:39]  yourself.
[00:19:40]  You understand that?
[00:19:40]  You get that strike.
[00:19:41]  And I look at all you we fat slob ignorant supporters out there talking about you're a good person.
[00:19:48]  You're no such thing.
[00:19:51]  And you do not determine who in the f ⁇ is going to be successful in this country because you are a model for the theory that a fat, stupid sack can get elected president because that's what you're fat, stupid sack.
[00:20:07]  I don't know what has happened to him.
[00:20:09]  He's lost it.
[00:20:10]  He's gone crazy.
[00:20:12]  Anyway, let's get to our phones this Friday, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
[00:20:18]  Let's say hi to Victor in Long Island, New York.
[00:20:20]  Victor, hi, how are you?
[00:20:21]  Glad you called.
[00:20:22]  Where in Long Island are you?
[00:20:25]  Out in Suffolk County.
[00:20:26]  I love Suffolk County.
[00:20:27]  I like Nassau better because I like Bruce Blakeman.
[00:20:30]  But what's on your mind?
[00:20:31]  Just doing it.
[00:20:32]  First of all, happy Friday to you.
[00:20:34]  We're controlling this.
[00:20:35]  See, we're controlling the air.
[00:20:37]  Why can't we, with the helicopters now, bring in guns to the people that want to take their country over in Ireland?
[00:20:42]  I would imagine, I don't know for sure.
[00:20:44]  And if I did know, I wouldn't tell you, but I don't know for sure.
[00:20:48]  I would imagine that's going to be part of the plan.
[00:20:51]  And as the president has said, and as the prime minister of Israel has said, for the people to be ready that their moment is at hand.
[00:20:59]  And the president said, this may be a one-in-a-generation opportunity for you to be the master of your own destiny.
[00:21:06]  Don't let this moment pass.
[00:21:08]  As I've said many times, you can't win revolutions with slingshots.
[00:21:12]  I think it's got to be a very key component.
[00:21:14]  Look, there are a couple of main things.
[00:21:16]  I think that is going to be crucial to increase the odds that they will be successful in changing that country and returning it to its former greatness.
[00:21:25]  It was once a great, great culture, the Persian people and brilliant people, brilliant engineers and doctors, and they were making advancements here, there, and everywhere.
[00:21:35]  And now they've been living under oppression since 1979.
[00:21:39]  That would be great for them.
[00:21:40]  It's the natural state of mankind to want to be free.
[00:21:44]  And I believe that's a God-given state.
[00:21:47]  But, you know, that said, that's not what the mission has been here.
[00:21:52]  The three big components left, that's one of them, making sure you neutralize the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, any loyalists that might still be alive, loyalists to the old regime.
[00:22:05]  I think that's going to be a part of it.
[00:22:07]  I think who controls the oil, which is the lifeblood of their entire economy, that's Carg Island.
[00:22:13]  I would imagine that we're going to play a part in that.
[00:22:16]  I don't know what it is.
[00:22:17]  I'm just guessing.
[00:22:18]  The president purposely did not hit their energy infrastructure there.
[00:22:23]  And, you know, if I had one other component, we've got to make sure that there's no chance that all of this enriched uranium at 60% doesn't end up in the wrong hands.
[00:22:33]  So there's still some things left to do.
[00:22:35]  I'd imagine three to four weeks from now, we're going to have a very good picture of how this is going to emerge.
[00:22:40]  Cool.
[00:22:41]  Thank you.
[00:22:41]  All right.
[00:22:42]  All right.
[00:22:42]  You have a great weekend, Victor.
[00:22:44]  Thank you.
[00:22:44]  Appreciate you.
[00:22:46]  Let's say hi to Colleen in New Mexico.
[00:22:48]  Hey, Colleen, how are you?
[00:22:50]  Hi.
[00:22:51]  Thank you for taking my call.
[00:22:53]  I'm interested in the concerns about American rights and Muslim laws that would support slavery, support racism, and support terrorism, and how the American people can tolerate the idea of twisting American rights to allow for that because I saw a nine-year-old little girl from Afghanistan being sold,
[00:23:21]  and I saw it on my computer.
[00:23:23]  And I don't want to see America have to tolerate the idea of hareming.
[00:23:28]  I'm an ex-military wife, and I didn't know that that even existed until my ex-husband came home and told me about their country and how.
[00:23:41]  You know how they treat women under Sharia law.
[00:23:46]  I mean, there has been modernization, and it's been fairly dramatic in places like Saudi Arabia and others, but that's more, that's Sunni Muslim.
[00:23:54]  In the case of the Iranians, it's Shia.
[00:23:57]  And they all hate each other.
[00:23:59]  And it really has more to do with a succession plan for who is the person that should have succeeded Muhammad, the prophet.
[00:24:08]  But, you know, women, the way they're treated, they're not even second-class citizens.
[00:24:13]  They're like fourth-class citizens.
[00:24:15]  I mean, they're told how to dress.
[00:24:16]  They're told when they can travel, if they can travel in many of these countries.
[00:24:21]  They are beaten.
[00:24:22]  They are whipped if they leave home and they don't have a male's permission.
[00:24:27]  Gays and lesbians are thrown off buildings.
[00:24:30]  I mean, it's so oppressive, and they've created poverty for the people and nothing but terror and secret police.

=== Divorce, Countries, and Rights (02:56) ===

[00:24:37]  And it's just awful.
[00:24:40]  There are no rights there for minorities.
[00:24:42]  Men can divorce their wives by saying three times, I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you.
[00:24:48]  Well, not good.
[00:24:50]  Well, I realize that.
[00:24:52]  And it is a lot worse than that, too, by the way.
[00:24:56]  But we won't go into it now.
[00:24:58]  At the same time, rewriting their religious belief positionings when they move to another nation so that the nation can't be attacked through racism, slavery, or terrorism under their religious belief positionings.
[00:25:12]  Shouldn't that be done?
[00:25:14]  Well, I can tell you right now, the fact that the continent of Europe has allowed unfettered, illegal immigration without assimilation.
[00:25:26]  I mean, I never thought in my lifetime, I'd hear that there are 80-plus Sharia courts in Great Britain.
[00:25:33]  I never thought there'd be no go zones into Muslim neighborhoods, not even for police, not even for fire departments in places like France and other countries in Europe.
[00:25:44]  I never thought that NATO, you know, that benefits far more than we do from the Strait of Hormuz being open, has absolutely no interest in assisting, you know, a path for the free flow of oil at market prices.
[00:25:59]  As far as I'm concerned, I am finished with Europe is finished.
[00:26:04]  I'm accepting a reality.
[00:26:06]  And just like globalist organizations like the UN and the World Economic Forum, and even now, NATO, they have allowed their defenses to deteriorate.
[00:26:16]  They've embraced socialism, climate alarmism.
[00:26:18]  They're done.
[00:26:19]  Those European countries are finished.
[00:26:22]  It's over.
[00:26:24]  I don't see any hope that they're going to make a turnaround because the second they ever tried, probably all these people that they've let into the country are going to fight back within the country against them.
[00:26:37]  It is a form of suicide.
[00:26:40]  Countries have identities, and Western culture and Western values are directly contradicted by Sharia and Islamic, you know, adherence to Islamic law.
[00:26:56]  It just is.
[00:26:57]  It's the antithesis of it.
[00:27:00]  If people want to live that way, that is up to them.
[00:27:02]  I'm not going to be the world's policeman.
[00:27:04]  But why would you allow people to have a separate country, so to speak, or separate communities in your country when you're letting them into the country?
[00:27:14]  If they want to go to Great Britain, they want to go to France, they want to go to any European country, then you must assimilate and become and adopt and be grateful for the opportunity to be, as Arnold Schwarzenegger said it, you are a guest in somebody else's country, and you must assimilate to their ways.

=== Florida Politics and 2028 (06:00) ===

[00:27:34]  And this famously was said by, I think it was Prime Minister Howard of Australia, created a controversy at the time.
[00:27:40]  You come to Australia, you're going to be an Australian, or get the hell out of here.
[00:27:44]  Period.
[00:27:45]  You're not coming here to change us.
[00:27:46]  Anyway, I appreciate the call.
[00:27:48]  Thank you very much.
[00:27:49]  Paul in Chicago.
[00:27:51]  Paul, you know, we could probably sit here sadly and predict how many people in your city are going to be shot this weekend and how many will be shot and killed and probably with some level of accuracy.
[00:28:03]  How sad is that?
[00:28:04]  And there's not one Democrat that will ever know the names of the people shot and shot and killed because they can't weaponize it and politicize it and blame Trump.
[00:28:12]  Well, Mr. Hannity, first of all, it's an honor to be speaking with you.
[00:28:16]  I really appreciate you taking my call.
[00:28:18]  I think you're right to an extent on that.
[00:28:21]  There's certainly a lot of fear going around when it comes to crime rates here in the city.
[00:28:26]  I had a question for you about Ron DeSantis.
[00:28:30]  I'm curious, as we make our way towards the 2028 presidential race, I'm wondering if you think he's lost a lot of momentum since 2024, not turning out in his favor.
[00:28:43]  I'm curious if you think he could be any kind of a clear frontrunner.
[00:28:47]  I know everybody's talking about the Vance Rubio ticket right now, but as a Florida resident like yourself, I'm curious if you think this governor is going to turn out has a solid chance on becoming president in 2028.
[00:29:00]  Well, first of all, let me, I have Governor DeSantis.
[00:29:03]  He's going to be on my podcast next week, and I'm looking forward to having him on.
[00:29:09]  That's number one.
[00:29:10]  So a lot of this, I'm sure, will come up.
[00:29:12]  Number two, he's done a phenomenal job in Florida.
[00:29:15]  Number three, his relationship with Donald Trump has been, you know, like you go back in time.
[00:29:23]  I mean, Donald Trump pissed off everybody who's running against Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, you know, pretty much all 17 people that he ran against.
[00:29:33]  He is a fierce warrior when you're not with him.
[00:29:37]  And that was the same with Governor DeSantis.
[00:29:40]  I think they let bygones be bygones.
[00:29:43]  I know for a fact they play golf a lot, like a real lot.
[00:29:47]  And I know they're friends.
[00:29:48]  And, you know, do I think it's a fate of complete 2028?
[00:29:52]  know.
[00:29:52]  I have a lot of thoughts about it.
[00:29:54]  Right now, I'm keeping them to myself.
[00:29:57]  I don't think anything is going to be decided.
[00:30:00]  And I'm going to tell you one natural thought I have.
[00:30:02]  I think that people should fight it out.
[00:30:06]  I think that the most interesting part of the Vice President Vance, Marco Rubio equation is they have very different philosophies in terms of the Trump doctrine.
[00:30:21]  And my understanding is, and I'm not against people having opposing views and presenting them to the president, but my understanding is people like JD Vance, the vice president, and Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence, did not like Midnight Hammer, Operation Epic Fury, or the Maduro operation.
[00:30:39]  Marco Rubio strongly supported them.
[00:30:42]  Will that have any impact on a primary?
[00:30:46]  It's just too early.
[00:30:47]  He can't tell.
[00:30:48]  And more importantly, we've got the most important midterm in our lifetime to focus on.
[00:30:52]  Now, 2028 will take care of itself.
[00:30:54]  Okay?
[00:30:55]  Sure, that totally makes sense to me.
[00:30:57]  You know, if I could just add one other thing, I was watching a news conference.
[00:31:02]  He was leading.
[00:31:03]  I think he was signing these two bills that came out of the Florida legislature.
[00:31:07]  And, you know, he got asked about all these different Florida sheriffs across the state that are speaking out against mass deportation campaigns that the administration is pushing and that DeSantis is pushing.
[00:31:21]  And he had said, well, I respect their decision to not target people who aren't committing violent crimes but are here illegally, but that's not consistent with our laws.
[00:31:35]  That's what he said.
[00:31:36]  I'm curious.
[00:31:37]  It seems like kind of a soft response.
[00:31:40]  It's something just different than the energy he brought in 2024.
[00:31:45]  Well, I can only tell you that DeSantis is a star in the conservative movement, the MAGA movement in the country.
[00:31:53]  And I know people got mad when he ran against Trump in the last primary, but he got out right after Iowa because he saw the handwriting was on the wall.
[00:32:01]  They've patched things up.
[00:32:03]  And as long as they're good with each other, who am I to interfere with that?
[00:32:07]  I can tell you he's been a phenomenal governor.
[00:32:10]  Him, Greg Abbott, probably my two favorites.
[00:32:12]  Brian Kemp, I like a lot.
[00:32:14]  But we have a lot of good governors.
[00:32:18]  Anyway, we'll have a lot of good candidates in 28.
[00:32:20]  Quick break.
[00:32:27]  Breaking news straight from the source.
[00:32:31]  John Hannity.
[00:32:32]  Talk to the people involved in the top news stories.
[00:32:36]  Sean Hannity.
[00:32:38]  I'm going to wrap things up for today.
[00:33:07]  Hannity tonight, 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel, the latest out of Iran and Operation Epic Fury.
[00:33:13]  Also, Senator Dave McCormick reacts to the insanity of the crazy left that won't fund the Department of Homeland Security.
[00:33:20]  And to top it off this Friday night, Jimmy Phela will put a smile on your face.
[00:33:24]  Don't forget our new video podcast.
[00:33:27]  Just go to YouTube and check it out.
[00:33:29]  It's for free.
[00:33:30]  Have a great weekend.
[00:33:31]  We'll see you back here Monday.
[00:33:33]  Thank you for making the show
