Sean Hannity condemns legacy media and Democrats for ignoring Iran's existential threat, citing their funding of October 7th attackers and recent threats to kill Americans. He highlights a "good faith" gesture where Iran allowed eight oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz as proof of fear regarding Donald Trump's 15-point plan, which demands the surrender of 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, the abandonment of ballistic missiles, and full payment for the conflict. Drawing parallels to appeasing Hitler, Hannity argues that decapitating Iranian leadership via airstrikes has forced them toward child soldier deployment, predicting a war conclusion in four to six weeks if terms are met, otherwise facing total destruction.

If you want to be a part of the program, it's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to join us, well, I'm kind of, Linda's going to be happy because I'm kind of pissed off on a couple of issues today.
One, I'm sick and tired of the negative naysayers that are all over the left-wing legacy media mob and all the punditry class and all the, you know, and all the Democrats.
This has been one of the most incredible military operations in the history of warfare.
And it doesn't mean that things can't go wrong or things won't at times go sideways, but it has been enormously successful.
And every single time we turn around, you know, we hear nothing but negative, chatter.
And all I can say is to all these people that are so negative, why didn't you demand, you know, what is your answer?
And are you really willing to hand off to your children and grandchildren a nuclear-armed Iran?
Or are you one of these idiots out there that doesn't believe that radical Islamic terrorism is a real clear and present danger?
Or you don't think that the Iranians mean it when they chant death to America?
Or that you don't really care about all the Americans over the many years that they have killed from Beirut straight on through every other terror attack they've been involved in.
Or you don't care that they foment terror and they help to train and fund what happened on October 7th.
I mean, at some point, you know, if you want to put your head in the sand and be dumb and ignorant and stupid, I can't stop stupid.
And the same goes for illegal immigration.
I am sick and tired of reading about families that have lost loved ones by another Biden, Harris, Mayorkas, Sanctuary City, State, Democrat policies that the most preventable national security disaster in our lifetime.
I'm fed up with it.
And Americans should be fed up with it.
And Americans should be fed up with the lying.
And Americans should be fed up with a party that doesn't have a heart or conscience or a soul.
And, you know, it's just frustrating on every level.
I mean, to think that this idiot, John Brennan, who may be indicted, he's now has multiple referrals against him.
We'll see what happens with that.
A lot of chatter that something could be imminent.
We'll see.
I don't know for sure.
I'm just listening and reading like all of you.
You know, saying that he trusts the Iranians more than he trusts Donald Trump.
You know, at first, you know, when the Iranians first denied that there were conversations going on with President Trump, that's all the fake news media, all the Trump haters, they were clinging to that like it was manna from heaven.
And meanwhile, we now know that, in fact, a 15-point plan has been presented to the Iranians, and then we know this.
And President Trump revealed earlier today, you know, he had talked yesterday about a very significant present that the U.S. received from Iran, and that is that, you know, and then yesterday there was all this speculative, well, what are these eight tankers that are passing through the Strait of Hormuz?
Turns out that was the gift.
The Iranians offered safe passage for these eight tankers through the Strait of Hormuz as a means of showing good faith to the president.
The president teased that Iran had offered the U.S. a mysterious present without revealing what it was.
Steve, can I reveal the present?
You can do anything you want to stay.
They said to show you the fact that we're real and solid and we're there, we're going to let you have eight boats of oil, eight boats, eight big boats of oil.
This was two days ago.
And they'll sail up tomorrow.
That was three days ago.
And I didn't think much about it.
And then I watched the news and they said, a very good anchor, actually.
Happy to be Fox.
But I watched it and they said something's unusual happening.
There are eight boats that are going right up the middle of the Hormo Strait.
Eight big tankers are going loaded up with oil right through.
And I said, well, I guess they were right and they were real.
And I think they were Pakistani flagged.
And I said, well, I guess we deal with the right people.
Okay.
Now, why would the Iranians do this except they are scared to death of Donald J. Trump?
And, you know, Iran's good faith present to Trump was allowing these tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
And that present is their way of communicating.
They want a deal.
Now, if you're the Iranians, why wouldn't you want a deal?
But if you listen to the legacy media, you listen to the Democrats, you know, who was it?
The congenital liar, Adam Schiff, you know, not believing that these talks are real, not believing negotiation is real.
No, it's real.
When you obliterate their nuclear, their ability to enrich uranium with 14 bunker buster bombs, Operation Midnight Hammer, when you obliterate, you know, their entire Navy, their entire Air Force, their ability to fire, you know, 90% of their ballistic missiles and everything else that we've done to them and hitting nearly 10,000 targets, I think we had the effect of getting their attention.
There was a reason that the, after Midnight Hammer, that that was only a 12-day war, it's because they were crying, uncle, they said enough is enough is enough, and they wanted peace.
Now, the imminent threat was what Steve Witcoff had said, which is they're bragging about enriched uranium.
So that brings us to the 15 points.
Now, this has not been released publicly, and I don't know what's in the 15 points, but I can take a pretty good, educated guess about what's in there.
Number one, Linda hates when I say 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, which is enough for 11 people.
I hate it.
The audience is an American transplant.
You know what?
All week over this.
Well, that's how they refer to it.
But if you want me to say, you know, 1,000 plus pounds, whatever the conversion is, most people get it.
It's enough for 11 nuclear weapons.
Now, we also learned something else in this conflict, that as per usual, international organizations, and I can't stand these globalist organizations.
And in the case of the UN, the IAEA, you know, always underestimate what Iran's real capability is.
In other words, the Iranians just flat out lie to them and convince them that their capability is far less than what it really is.
And that's extremely frustrating to me.
It drives me up a wall.
And this is, so now we're at the point if there are 15 points, I can imagine what some of them are.
And Linda, if you want to add a couple, feel free.
I think The top three, as the president said, is you can't have nuclear weapons.
You can't have nuclear weapons.
You can't have nuclear weapons.
And this is where I have really little to no respect for a lot of dumb people or people that have political motivations or people that have no knowledge of history or a combination thereof that don't understand when you have that much enriched uranium.
And now we know that they have a missile range longer than we thought that they had and a range that could actually hit Paris and London.
And this gets to the heart of how stupid our friends in Western Europe are that those nuclear warheads could have been put on those missiles.
It really, really is remarkable to me how stupid some people are, and how they're willing to gamble our children's future away.
I can't believe that there are people that haven't learned the lessons of history.
And I used the simple example yesterday.
I'll use it again today.
If you had an opportunity to stop Adolf Hitler before he committed mass atrocities and murder and the Holocaust, and you could save millions and millions of lives, why wouldn't you act sooner?
And that's the whole argument.
That's why Winston Churchill is praised, rightly so, for the great historic figure that he is.
And he was trying to warn the people of Great Britain what Hitler's intentions were.
And then you have people that didn't want any conflict.
And the appeasement crowd led by Neville Chamberlain meeting with Hitler in Munich and coming back and telling the people of Great Britain, we have found it.
We have peace in our time.
They're not going to engage with us.
No, they're not.
And then the country came calling at a moment when the nation was in great, great peril.
And you had a prime minister that walked the streets of London every single day during the bombing of London, bombing of Britain.
And he was out there among the people.
And he was doing nothing but motivating a nation to go up against what he called a monstrous tyranny.
Blood, toil, tears, and sweat.
What is our aim?
Victory.
Victory against this monstrous tyranny.
That was Winston Churchill.
But before him, there were stupid people that couldn't read the handwriting was on the wall.
Anyway, so that's their good faith presence.
But among the things that the president is going to have to insist on, number one, the Iranians will have to be willing to turn over their 60% enriched uranium.
They're going to have to give up their ballistic missile system.
They can't have nuclear weapons.
We're going to have to have American inspectors anywhere, any place, anytime.
Now, you might argue, Hannity, you're asking for too much here.
Well, if they don't want to be obliterated, then that's the price they're going to have to pay.
Then they're going to have to pay Donald Trump back.
I know Donald Trump's thinking.
I guarantee you.
And I don't have any confirmation of it.
Donald Trump is going to demand that Iran pay for this entire conflict, the entire cost to the American taxpayers, which is the right thing to do.
Now, the Iranian Navy chief in charge of blockading the Strait of Hormuz, we have news about him today.
Did you hear about this guy, Linda?
I have news for you.
This actually puts me in a better mood.
An Israeli airstrike killed the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy and had been located near the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, they were able to confirm that today.
Now, this Prime Minister said that, you know, a great deal of blood on his hands and that he was, quote, the person who led the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
One anti-Iran war protester in Philly openly rooting for U.S. troops to be killed and saying Senator John Fetterman called the protesters disgusting and appalling.
Anyway, these Philly protesters, you grew up in Philly.
I blame you for your fellow Philadelphians.
Not sure where this guy's from, but as a mass ringleader celebrating the death.
What's that?
I am not taking credit for that.
I'll tell you that much.
For every U.S. soldier that returns home in a casket, we cheer.
Those people ought to be, you know, honestly, we ought to deport them.
Let them pick the country of choice.
Let's send them to Iran.
Let them speak out against the Iranian regime in the same way.
The Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu, suggesting to Trump that they issue a joint call to the Iranian people now to rise up against the regime, according to the Times of Israel.
And both President Trump and the Prime Minister have both said that that moment is coming and it might be the opportunity in a generation.
And don't let this moment pass.
The one thing I worry about is there are going to be holdovers that are still loyal to the former regimes.
I mean, I guess we're at here level four or five at this point.
We don't really, they do know who's in charge because whoever is in charge allowed these tankers to get through the Strait of Hormuz.
Now, the president warned Iran to get serious about peace before it's too late again.
He gave 50 days before Midnight Hammer.
He gave, you know, a number of days before Operation Epic Fury as he was building up our military presence in the region.
Now, the president this morning issued a warning to Iran telling the Islamic Republic and these officials to buckle down, get serious about negotiating and end to this four-week old war before it's too late.
The Iranian negotiators, he said, are very different and strange.
He said they're begging us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only looking at our proposal.
Wrong.
They better get serious soon before it's too late.
At this point, if they don't believe Donald Trump, they're not people that can be reasoned with.
And the president also lashing out at sick Iranian leaders confirming the estimated timeline for ending the war.
The president's not going to be there much longer.
I'm telling you, there's not much more militarily that we have to accomplish.
Probably the most difficult and important, though, is going to be making sure that the enriched uranium that we have been discussing, which became the imminent threat that led to the president's decision, according to Steve Witkoff, that that can never get in the wrong hands.
How that happens is going to be up to the president and our military.
Everybody in this, and we'll talk more about law and order and the loss of innocent American lives that's happening all the time and illegal immigrants getting away with murder and being protected by blue states and blue cities.
Trump Derangement Syndrome00:08:36
It's disgusting.
By the way, I just took a look at this.
I couldn't believe I saw this.
And I'm not sure how I missed it earlier.
Iran apparently now deploying child soldiers after watching their entire military infrastructure and chain of command get obliterated in less than a month.
You know, I've said this for many years.
Did you ever notice that all of these mullahs and supreme leaders and imams, they give their fatwas.
They encourage people to strap bombs on themselves.
They make lofty promises of 72 virgins in heaven if they kill innocent men, women, and children.
But they never put those bombs on themselves.
They never kill themselves.
They send other people to do it.
They're living the life of luxury.
And if you ask the left-wing media mob, they have a monopoly on compassion, so they will let you think, but they really don't because they don't tell the whole story.
The Economist has a front page.
It says, advantage Iran.
Now, what objective person in this day and age would ever say up to this point in this conflict that Iran has the advantage?
They've gotten their asses kicked solidly.
But from the opening salvo, wiping out the supreme leader, wiping out the entire leadership of Iran.
And then when the next tier of leadership organizes, they wiped out the 80-plus people that were about to vote for the next supreme leader, gone.
And then they've been targeting the head of the Quds forces and the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces.
And every other leader that has emerged has been wiped out.
And I pointed out earlier that they just took out the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy.
Why?
Because he's mostly responsible for blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
And then the Iranians say, oh, no, we're not having discussions.
And the media and left-wing Democrats, they don't want to believe that Donald Trump is telling the truth.
And then Donald Trump says, and they can deny it all they want.
Then he says they're going to give us a great present.
Then he describes what the present is.
And yesterday, they allowed tankers to go through the Strait of Hormuz undeterred.
Now, why was there a good gesture will?
Because they want the obliteration to stop.
That's what they want.
There's going to be, you know, either the Iranians will agree to what Trump is demanding or they'll be obliterated further and America will finish what it started.
And I don't think there's much more to go.
I think the one question that remains is: we just have to make sure and certain that the uranium does not get in the wrong hands.
You know, there's a foreign policy reads, why U.S. victory on Iran would be bad for Washington and the world.
Who would ever say that?
What is wrong with this?
This is a real condition called Trump derangement.
Iraq was a blunder.
Iran is far worse.
Politico runs that.
Who the hell are these people?
They're some of the dumbest human beings on the face of the earth.
It doesn't mean that we don't have obstacles and difficulties and hard days ahead, you know, to finish this job.
But there's never been in history, the history of warfare, a more devastating intelligence beatdown and military beatdown than what we and the Israelis have put on Iran.
And if you don't believe that, you just, there's some corrupt bias within you that's incapable of just seeing the truth.
You know, the same Democrats, you know, leading the Department of Homeland Security shutdown right in the middle of a conflict with the number one state sponsor of terror.
And then many are like openly rooting, you know, for Donald Trump to fail.
Well, that means America fails.
That means our military fails.
Why would anybody be in that corner?
Fake news, CNN.
Kamala Harris said to appear at a number of Democratic events in April across numerous southern states, most of which she lost by double digits in 2024.
Did you notice that Hillary is making the trek to New Hampshire?
I'm sure Hillary just needs attention.
I don't think Hillary is running for office.
Do you think she's running for office, Linda?
I do not.
And then we've I don't think she could stand the embarrassment, honestly.
She's just like, you know, she loses at everything.
Then we've got no-show governor, full-time Hannity Trump stalker.
You notice Gavin just can't.
I live rent-free in that guy's head.
I do find that entertaining.
You know, full-time ex-poster, full-time podcaster, full-time author of a book nobody will buy, you know, full-time world traveler.
What else is he?
You know, he just is a no-show governor with the worst, the worst conditions in his state, which is why people are leaving in droves.
By the way, I'd like to welcome all of the new billionaires that left Silicon Valley because they don't dare stay in California, risking this referendum that will be on the November ballot that would be a 5% wealth tax with people on paper.
There's a very big distinction when you say that you are worth X number of dollars on paper.
If, you know, the paper is only as good as what its value is at any given moment, but they would tax it at its highest value.
What if the paper value goes down?
Are you going to get a refund?
I tend to doubt it.
I don't think that's going to happen.
Anyway, so we have a lot of good things happening.
And if the president can wrap this up the next three or so weeks, I think we will be that much better off.
I think we are close to that point.
I'm hoping that the Iranian people will rise up and take their country back.
That would be ideal.
I don't know if they can do it, though, if you can't win a revolution with slingshots.
And I've said that many, many times.
Now, Trump has lashed out at the sick Iranian leaders and confirmed the estimated timeline for ending the war.
He said, one of the problems they do have is they deal with us is we deal with people, and the people, you know, aren't able to communicate with anybody else because all of their leadership is gone.
So there is a communication issue that is very real.
Israel says the Iranian leader that ordered the Strait of Hormuz closed is now dead.
I mean, anybody that emerges in any way, shape, manner, or form as a leader ends up dead.
And that's why I guess they tried to show this act of goodwill to President Trump.
But anyway, the president said it would be four to six weeks to achieve the full mission.
I think that would be expedited if the Iranians are smart and want to bring an end to this.
But to do that, they're going to have to eat crow.
They will have to give up all their nuclear ambitions, all their 60% enriched uranium.
They will have to pay us back, and they will have to agree to and abide by anywhere, anyplace, anytime.
Inspections.
And as the president said, you know, because the media reports are he's desperate to make a peace deal with Iran.
He said, no, I'm the opposite of desperate.
He said, I don't really care.
He said in his cabinet meeting.
He was referring to an article in the Wall Street Journal that reported he wants a speedy end to the conflict.
He blasted the report as fake news, and he said if he were desperate, the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, would be the first to know because he would order U.S. military out of the region.
I read a story today.
I'm desperate to make a deal.
And this is where the media is lazy, and the media, there's nothing Donald Trump can do that they ever want to know or understand about him.
But Donald Trump, I can tell you, read the art of the deal.
Media Laziness and Pritzker00:05:54
It may be one of the best books out there.
One of the things that Donald Trump laid out and learned very early in life as he was making business deals is at any given moment in the process of doing a deal with anybody, you've always got to be willing to walk away from the deal or else you're not in a good position to negotiate a good deal.
I mean, I can tell you in Palm Beach, it is mind-numbing that Donald Trump, I think he paid $10 million for Mar-a-Lago, 22 acres, historic property, landmark property.
It's got the beach, it's got the intercoastal, it's got like 50 some-odd bedrooms and bathrooms and 22 acres.
If you look online on realtor.com, zillow.com, wherever you want to look, and you look at any of these websites, you can find empty one-acre, two-acre lots going for $200 million.
Let's say a two-acre lot for $200 million.
I know of one in particular.
And sometimes you get a little smaller lot for maybe $100-something million dollars.
And I know that sounds insane for most of you, and it is insane, but it just happens to be with the market bears.
You know, there's only so much beachfront property in the world, and God's not making any more of it that I know of.
Now, he may have other plans.
He may have told Linda.
I'm not sure.
Did God tell you anything about that?
Nope.
You know, I think a lot of what you're saying here about all of these various states, if I can just pontificate for a hot second, and one person you left out that makes me really mad is J.B. Pritzker.
Who's that?
J.B. Pritzker.
Well, we're going to get to him today.
But wait, can I just say one thing?
I should say one thing because I really hate him a lot.
I don't dislike him.
I hate him.
This is a man who is the heir to, he is a billionaire.
He is the heir to the Hyatt Hotels and all their properties, him, his brother, and his sister.
And he has no idea what his constituents are going through.
When Sheridan Gorman was getting shot last week, he was out in San Diego or San Francisco with Clinton and Pelosi and Newsome.
He doesn't care about the people of Illinois.
Not one bit.
It's funny you're saying this because we're going to get into this throughout the program today.
First of all, we're going to have Cheryl Minter and Abigail Spamberger has some explaining to do in Virginia, but we're also going to have Mary Miller.
And she's disgusted by the actions of Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and that alder woman, Maria Haddon, who said about this 18-year-old Loyola student that was murdered.
Oh, it sounds like a wrong place, wrong time thing.
Blaming the victim.
The only person in the wrong place, wrong time is the illegal immigrant that Democrats allowed in and are offering sanctuary to.
Let me ask you, have you traveled at all lately?
I am actually, I have, and I'm traveling again this weekend.
Oh, no.
Where are you going?
Maybe you don't want to tell anybody.
No, no, I'm going.
It's actually my first time ever.
I'm going to Tennessee and I have some work down there and I am dreading it.
But I've been doing the TSA Watcher.
You know, they have all of the blue states.
We're watching the TSA in each of these airports.
And it's not bad because ICE is there.
Although our DA down here, Krasner, he's a Soros bought and paid operative.
And he's saying he's going to arrest all the ICE officers that are in the airport helping to facilitate the ECC.
He doesn't have the jury.
That's your stupid firm.
He's a moron.
It's embarrassing.
He's from your state, not mine, just for the record.
And, you know, people, I'm telling you, I'm hearing from people, and I'm talking to TSA agents.
I have a lot of friends that are TSA.
There's over 500 now that have quit.
They have lines four, five, six hours.
Democrats could care less about the agents.
This is the longest these lines have ever been.
Now, yes, ICE is definitely helping and the lines are speeding up, but there's only so much that they can do, and there's only so many resources available.
By the way, we'll get into this.
And it's terrible.
And five times, Schumer and his fellow Democrats, and they try to blame Trump and Republicans.
Five times they voted against funding the Department of Homeland Security.
By the way, two suspected terrorists indicted for planning an improvised explosive device at McDrill Air Force Base.
According to CENCON, they house CENCOM headquarters.
That's scary.
You're talking about Larry Krasner.
Is that how you say this idiot's name?
The Soros-PAC DA in L.A. In Philly?
In Philly.
You have a deranged House Democrat accusing ICE of carrying out rogue terrorist attacks.
Here we go.
Gestapo, Nazi, fascist, now terrorist.
You have an elderly New York City veteran.
Remember that guy that was shoved onto the subway tracks?
Yeah, he died.
He died.
Unbelievable.
Random attack.
A serial criminal illegal alien.
Guy had been arrested many, many times.
He got an illegal alien MS-13 gang banger sentenced to 35 years in jail, beating and hacking a California hiker to death.
Thanks, Gavin.
Great job.
What are you going to call the family, Gavin, instead of spending your time stalking me and stalking Trump because we live rent-free in that dopey brain of yours?
He should be brought up on charge.
He's guilty.
You let it happen.
All of these people who let it happen, the judges, the governors, the DAs, all of them, they're complicit.
Serial Criminal Sentenced00:00:19
Well, what do I always say?
They have what?
What do I always say?
Blood on their hands.
Blood on their hands.
And Sheridan Gorman, 18 years old, in the prime of her life.
And what do we discover?
Another Biden-Harris Mayorkis illegal that they had in custody twice, not once.
