Duration: 30:27


=== Competent Men and Good Women (04:01) ===

[00:00:00]  This is an iHeart podcast.
[00:00:02]  Guaranteed human.
[00:00:04]  All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
[00:00:06]  Here's our toll free number.
[00:00:07]  It's 800 941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
[00:00:12]  You know, I got to tell you something.
[00:00:14]  There's so many toxic people online.
[00:00:19]  I'm just learning with the launch of our new podcast, hanging out with me, Sean Hannity.
[00:00:23]  And by the way, you can find it on YouTube, wherever you get your video podcast.
[00:00:28]  And then you got the crazy people out there, the anti Semitic people out there, the isolationist lunatics out there, people with With insane agendas that are, you know, say things that are just not true, but they make it sound so believable that I guess people are drawn to the mystery of total complete Adam bullshit.
[00:00:47]  And it just is frustrating to me.
[00:00:49]  And then when I find good people that offer really, really good advice, I'm like, oh, well, this is refreshing.
[00:00:57]  And I found that in this guy by the name of Nick Freitas, his name, and he has a new book out.
[00:01:02]  And I started looking at it.
[00:01:03]  I'm like, this is awesome.
[00:01:04]  And whether you're young, old, doesn't matter.
[00:01:07]  You always look for ways to improve.
[00:01:09]  You should be embracing something called lifelong learning.
[00:01:13]  And, you know, the book is a list of hard lessons learned through marriage and fatherhood and war and business and politics, you know, all in one.
[00:01:23]  Retired Green Beret, husband, father, Virginia legislator.
[00:01:26]  He spent a lifetime, very demanding life that he's had.
[00:01:30]  He's thought deeply about the standards that every man, we're not talking about manosphere, we're not talking about being Barney Rubble.
[00:01:38]  I am the head of my household.
[00:01:40]  Where is my dinner at six o'clock?
[00:01:42]  When I walk in the door, I want that dinner set.
[00:01:44]  I want it.
[00:01:46]  Why can't you cook the steak the way I like it?
[00:01:48]  I mean, no.
[00:01:50]  Being loving and kind.
[00:01:51]  You know, when you break down the word gentleman, it has a word before it gentle man, kind, loving, thoughtful, patient, kind, all of these things.
[00:02:01]  Anyway, so he kind of goes through this in this new book of his.
[00:02:04]  He calls it the man book.
[00:02:07]  And you're not the man you want to be because none of us are.
[00:02:10]  It's a quest, it's not a destination.
[00:02:13]  And it really is a cool book and how to win an argument fairly, how to plan the perfect date, how to win a fight, how to prepare a steak.
[00:02:21]  And by the way, he could not give me advice on that because I cooked the perfect steak.
[00:02:27]  You know, how to pit a car, all of this.
[00:02:30]  Anyway, the answer to the crisis of masculinity is not a bunch of weak, wimpy, pathetic men.
[00:02:37]  That's not the answer.
[00:02:38]  And it's not toxic masculinity that I believe that men.
[00:02:43]  Should pay for any date that they go on.
[00:02:45]  And I know they got this new Femisphere thing, and Linda and I will talk about it in the next half hour.
[00:02:51]  And I guess that's in reaction to these Bam Bam characters that are out there that think they're manly and they're not.
[00:02:56]  They're a bunch of jackasses that treat women like crap and use them for their own personal reasons.
[00:03:05]  They don't know what the word love really means.
[00:03:07]  They don't understand what it means from a Christian standpoint to serve other people.
[00:03:11]  Anyway, you can get it on Amazon.com.
[00:03:13]  We're going to put a link up on Hannity.com and now in bookstores everywhere.
[00:03:18]  Anyway, Nick, I've become a little, from a distance, a bit of a fan of yours.
[00:03:22]  I like the way you approach life.
[00:03:26]  Is there anything that I said in the lead up to this that you disagree with?
[00:03:29]  No.
[00:03:30]  No, no.
[00:03:31]  I think you did a great job.
[00:03:33]  Can you just ghostwrite the next one?
[00:03:35]  That would be great.
[00:03:36]  Well, I mean, here's the thing do you believe a man should pay for the date and a man should ask a woman out?
[00:03:44]  Yeah, absolutely.
[00:03:45]  Absolutely.
[00:03:45]  Should a man open a door for a woman?
[00:03:49]  Yes.
[00:03:49]  A man should open a door.
[00:03:50]  A man should protect.
[00:03:51]  A man should provide.
[00:03:52]  Now, look, and I go into this in the book, too.
[00:03:54]  I think there's other things, too, that, you know, again, a good woman owes a good man just like a good man owes a good woman.

=== Biblical Standards for Marriage (11:37) ===

[00:04:01]  I think that God made us to actually be cooperative, not competitive with one another.
[00:04:06]  That's one of the lies that gets spewed by wokeism, by modern feminism.
[00:04:11]  But yeah, I think God calls us to be strong.
[00:04:14]  He calls us to be competent, he calls us to be capable.
[00:04:16]  But he also calls us to do it for something more than just pursuing our own, you know, hedonistic end states.
[00:04:22]  We do it to honor God.
[00:04:23]  We do it to be good husbands, to be good fathers, and to be the sort of patriots that can actually sustain a good and free country.
[00:04:30]  Well, I mean, it's very biblical in terms of what you're saying.
[00:04:33]  The Bible couldn't be any more clear on all of this.
[00:04:36]  You know, very clear instructions when it talks about the teachings on how men should honor their wives.
[00:04:44]  The most direct verse is Peter.
[00:04:46]  You know, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman.
[00:04:52]  It says this is a weaker vessel.
[00:04:54]  Linda, our producer, is going to have a fit when I go through this.
[00:04:58]  But anyway, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, and two joined together shall be one, live with them in understanding, show honor.
[00:05:10]  And, you know, I really think, and husbands, love your wives, love them.
[00:05:15]  Don't be a jackass, impatient, Jerk.
[00:05:18]  And then, you know, later that night, you know, expect that you're going to, you know, hold your wife closely.
[00:05:25]  Good luck with that.
[00:05:27]  Yeah.
[00:05:27]  Well, I think, you know, this is another thing where my wife and I, we both came from, you know, homes of divorce.
[00:05:33]  And then we got married at 19 and 20.
[00:05:35]  I was in the military.
[00:05:37]  So we lived on the other side of the country away from our families and our support group.
[00:05:40]  And I've had a lot of people tell me, well, you just got lucky.
[00:05:43]  I'm like, if I just got lucky, then we set ourselves up in all the worst possible ways in order to one day get into a divorce.
[00:05:50]  And yet we didn't.
[00:05:50]  So why is that?
[00:05:52]  And it goes back to what you're saying there we actually took Scripture seriously.
[00:05:55]  She took Scripture seriously with respect to her roles, responsibilities, and duties to me.
[00:06:00]  And I took Scripture seriously with respect to my roles, responsibilities, and duties to her.
[00:06:07]  And again, it just goes to show that when you treat the Bible as if it's the truth instead of just another book to read, and you actually try to apply it, even when you do it imperfectly, God blesses a faithful attempt.
[00:06:21]  And that's what we found in our relationship.
[00:06:23]  I spent the first 10 years of my marriage away from home, whether it was training, whether it was combat deployments.
[00:06:28]  We had all three of our kids in the military.
[00:06:30]  I learned a lot about how do you effectively raise a son?
[00:06:33]  How do you effectively raise daughters, especially in difficult circumstances?
[00:06:37]  And, you know, the way I wrote this book was it wasn't meant to be preachy at all.
[00:06:41]  There's like 53 things that I think it's important for men to know.
[00:06:44]  And I wrote it more from the perspective of here's some things I've learned, oftentimes the hard way.
[00:06:49]  But if I had to do it all over again and I was looking for advice, this is the sort of advice that older Nick would give to younger Nick about.
[00:06:56]  The way to think about life, about marriage, about combat, about fatherhood, about politics, about your faith.
[00:07:03]  And again, it was a lot of fun writing.
[00:07:05]  There's some funny chapters in there.
[00:07:08]  You're going to have some people asking you, why do you need to know how to pit a car?
[00:07:11]  And the first thing I'm going to tell you is you need to get rid of that friend.
[00:07:14]  You don't need that kind of negativity in your life, right?
[00:07:16]  It's cool to know how to pit a car, and you never know.
[00:07:20]  But there's also a lot of other stuff where we really delve in deeply on how do you effectively argue for your faith in an intellectually rigorous way?
[00:07:27]  How do you have difficult discussions with your wife?
[00:07:30]  I had somebody tell me this belongs in the fiction section because they have the audacity to.
[00:07:34]  Title chapter on how to argue with your wife and win.
[00:07:37]  And yet, I've done it.
[00:07:39]  So, how is that possible?
[00:07:40]  And we go through a lot of those questions.
[00:07:43]  I think a lot of men, especially now, especially young men that have been living in a time where culture, Hollywood, arts, entertainment, politics have just tried to demoralize young men.
[00:07:53]  And I want them to understand that the reason why so many efforts on the left, especially, have been made to demoralize you is not because you don't have power, it's because you do.
[00:08:03]  And we need you to step up and we need you to exercise it.
[00:08:05]  And older men need to come along.
[00:08:07]  Side younger men, in order to show them and train them and disciple them in the way to do that.
[00:08:11]  I think that's a great analysis.
[00:08:14]  One of the words that I like in the Bible is to serve your family as Jesus served the church.
[00:08:22]  Love others as I have loved you.
[00:08:23]  Those are very deep, profound things that Christ Himself taught us that will never reach that standard, obviously.
[00:08:32]  However, it is to aspire to.
[00:08:35]  You talk in this book about how to win a fight.
[00:08:39]  Explain.
[00:08:40]  Yeah.
[00:08:41]  I think men should be protectors and providers.
[00:08:43]  And one of the things I always tell young men is you should have a violent hobby.
[00:08:47]  So it could be shooting, it could be hunting, it could be MMA, it could be boxing, whatever.
[00:08:51]  By the way, I'm like, check, check.
[00:08:54]  I'm not a big hunter, but mixed martial arts, guns, more guns, and a lot more guns.
[00:09:00]  And yeah, I train situational self defense.
[00:09:03]  I've been doing it 15 years.
[00:09:04]  I agree with you.
[00:09:04]  It's great training.
[00:09:06]  Well, and it really helps a man with their sense of confidence.
[00:09:10]  And it also adds confidence to your wife and children.
[00:09:14]  The joking way I explain this is when your son says, my dad can beat up your dad, you want that to be a true statement, right?
[00:09:22]  But the way I try to put it to bring it home.
[00:09:24]  See, what some people listening to this, if a liberal's listening in California right now, this is toxic masculinity, what they're talking about.
[00:09:31]  Talking about stakes and pitting a car.
[00:09:34]  Why would anyone need to learn to pit a car?
[00:09:36]  No, you're talking about loving your family and being the protector of your family.
[00:09:40]  And I think that that is, men are physically stronger than women.
[00:09:44]  If you want to dispute that, go right ahead.
[00:09:46]  But in generally speaking, that's the case.
[00:09:48]  And if your wife is stronger than you, good luck.
[00:09:50]  Let her take control of the defense of your family if you want.
[00:09:53]  Well, the way, when I say, when I tell men, hey, learn how to fight.
[00:09:58]  And again, you don't got to be a professional fighter.
[00:09:59]  You don't got to be a professional soldier.
[00:10:01]  But the way I try to bring it home for them is this I said, I want to imagine you're married.
[00:10:05]  You love your wife.
[00:10:05]  You love your children.
[00:10:06]  I want you to imagine they're in a situation, and the only way you can help them is.
[00:10:11]  It is to call another man in to provide for their safety.
[00:10:15]  Not because you couldn't have acted in the way you did, but because you never trained, you never thought about it, you never prepared for it.
[00:10:21]  You just assumed that the world was always going to be a safe place for you.
[00:10:24]  And now you have to rely on somebody else.
[00:10:26]  Your wife and children have to rely on somebody else to protect them because you couldn't.
[00:10:30]  Not because you didn't have the opportunity, but because you didn't take it.
[00:10:34]  I said, if you don't want to be that kind of man, then you need to start planning for it now.
[00:10:37]  And I'm a former Green Beret, and one of the things I learned throughout that is that training is incredibly important.
[00:10:45]  Guys that think, well, if I was ever in that situation, I would just do the right thing or the brave thing or the strong thing.
[00:10:50]  Okay, maybe, maybe.
[00:10:52]  But if you actually want to come out the other side on top, then you need to train.
[00:10:56]  So you need to dedicate some time in your life.
[00:10:58]  Did you ever watch the average video that goes viral of two people fighting and they're just wailing away and they have no clue what they're doing?
[00:11:05]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:11:06]  Oh, it's especially this day and age with minimal training.
[00:11:11]  You're now better than 90% of the population at a fight.
[00:11:15]  And so.
[00:11:16]  Again, I encourage men to do this.
[00:11:18]  It gives them a great deal of self confidence.
[00:11:19]  It's usually an incredible workout.
[00:11:22]  And it's not just good for the physical and mental side, too.
[00:11:25]  It's also good for your cognitive side.
[00:11:26]  The more we find out about lifting weights, about staying strong, the more it not only helps you maintain physically, but maintain cognitively as well.
[00:11:33]  Plus, the way I always tell the guys, I'm like, look, when my wife married me, I'm the only guy she gets for her whole life.
[00:11:39]  I would like her to be happy about it.
[00:11:41]  So, yeah.
[00:11:43]  All right, quick break right back.
[00:11:44]  More with Nick Freitas on the other side.
[00:11:46]  The man book, point by point guide to sucking it up, getting the job done.
[00:11:51]  How to plan the perfect date, how to be the best husband you can be, win an argument fairly, how to win a physical fight, how to prepare a steak.
[00:11:58]  You know what even pitting a car is, Linda?
[00:12:00]  I bet you don't know what pitting a car is, do you?
[00:12:03]  Anyway, more with Nick on the other side as we continue.
[00:12:09]  Is with us.
[00:12:10]  By the way, I'm sure this will be deemed a toxic masculinity segment.
[00:12:13]  He wrote a terrific new book.
[00:12:15]  It is called The Man Book, a point by point guide to sucking it up, getting the job done, how to be a great husband, how to plan the perfect date, how to win a fight physically, how to prepare a steak, how to pit a car.
[00:12:26]  You know, all guy stuff.
[00:12:27]  Anyway, we continue with Nick.
[00:12:28]  All right.
[00:12:29]  So you actually give dating advice too.
[00:12:32]  And one part of your book, you deal with how to plan the perfect date.
[00:12:36]  And I think after you get married, I think a lot of people stop that.
[00:12:41]  That courtship part that you love so much.
[00:12:43]  And I think that's a huge mistake people make.
[00:12:45]  Yeah.
[00:12:46]  What is the perfect date?
[00:12:47]  Oh, it's going to depend entirely on who your wife is or who your girlfriend is, the girl that you're courting.
[00:12:52]  That's part of one of the things I really emphasize too with respect to dating, which is very unpopular right now, but I promise you it works, is to not get physical right away.
[00:13:02]  You need to actually fall in love with who that person is, who that woman is, how they think, what they want out of life, all of those things.
[00:13:08]  And the more you actually spend the time getting to know them that way, if you love them for who they are, for what they think, for what they believe, Then you're going to have all the necessary information to be able to plan something that is truly romantic and personal and is going to signify to her that you cared enough to understand about what she cares about, what she likes.
[00:13:25]  You're going to remember little details, and that's going to signify to her that you're someone that pays attention and truly cares.
[00:13:31]  And so those are the things that I go into.
[00:13:33]  And again, I always emphasize that look, my wife is going to read some of these chapters and go, you need to do more of this.
[00:13:39]  But it's true.
[00:13:41]  When you can have that special moment that you created where you spent that time focusing very, very specifically on her, that's Sticks with her over time.
[00:13:49]  It's not just the, you didn't just win points for that moment.
[00:13:54]  You win points for every time in the future that she thinks back to it.
[00:13:57]  And so I just encourage men to really consider that.
[00:13:59]  By the way, there's no way you cook a better steak than me.
[00:14:02]  No way.
[00:14:03]  Can't happen.
[00:14:05]  Impossible.
[00:14:05]  I cook a perfect steak every time and I make it almost every day.
[00:14:09]  So I'm an expert at it.
[00:14:10]  That's what I eat.
[00:14:11]  Eggs and meat.
[00:14:15]  But no, this is really good advice, especially some of our younger listeners, or even if you're in a marriage and maybe marriage is kind of, Stalled out, stale, boring, dull.
[00:14:25]  Maybe it's time for you to up your game a little bit.
[00:14:28]  And maybe if you don't know situational self defense, you know, what's the big deal?
[00:14:32]  I've trained people for the first time and I have them join me.
[00:14:35]  And sometimes people are so weak, they can't even do two push ups.
[00:14:39]  And I'm like, all right, well, just start with two.
[00:14:41]  Do what you can do today, tomorrow, three.
[00:14:44]  And, you know, in a month from now, you'll be doing 10.
[00:14:47]  And five months from now, you'll be doing 30.
[00:14:49]  And that's just simply how it works.
[00:14:51]  And I can't tell you how many people have taken my advice, come back to me later and say, wow, it's It's had a profound impact on me.
[00:14:57]  The book is awesome.
[00:14:58]  It's called The Man Book and, you know, point by point guide to sucking it up and getting the job done.
[00:15:05]  We've got it on Hannity.com.
[00:15:07]  It's on Amazon.com.
[00:15:08]  It's in bookstores everywhere.
[00:15:10]  Nick Pratis, we really appreciate you.
[00:15:13]  Congrats and much success to you.
[00:15:15]  And we hope you'll come back.
[00:15:16]  Maybe we'll have you on the pod one night.
[00:15:18]  Sounds great.
[00:15:18]  Thank you, Sean.

=== Manipulation Between the Sexes (09:49) ===

[00:15:39]  Keeping Uncle Sam accountable to you every day.
[00:15:44]  Hannity is on.
[00:15:49]  All right.
[00:15:49]  So we were just talking to Nick Freitas.
[00:15:51]  I'm talking about the man book.
[00:15:53]  And you keep hearing about the manosphere out there and toxic masculinity, all these phrases that keep coming out of anywhere.
[00:16:02]  Now, I brought this up very briefly yesterday, Linda, and I want to get your thoughts on this.
[00:16:07]  There is a new movement online.
[00:16:09]  With these female influencers urging women to ditch their romantic delusions, be more aggressive in the dating game, and snare what they describe as a high value man.
[00:16:23]  Now, by the way, all of this is not new in my opinion.
[00:16:27]  It's just kind of being spoken about on social media, and now it's become the thing, but it sounds to me like the perfect description of a gold digger.
[00:16:38]  And everybody knows what a gold digger is, right?
[00:16:41]  And this is how it starts.
[00:16:42]  For example, Wall Street Journal did a piece on this.
[00:16:45]  And you have all these people now.
[00:16:48]  You know, men are inherently selfish.
[00:16:51]  That's how this article starts.
[00:16:53]  They're only interested in one thing.
[00:16:56]  By the way, some men are like that.
[00:16:58]  There are a lot of men that are inherently selfish.
[00:17:01]  And women need to understand that not every guy has their best intentions at heart.
[00:17:06]  And if you do think that, you're being naive.
[00:17:09]  And I think you got to learn to stand up for yourself and respect yourself.
[00:17:14]  And you get to ultimately decide the type of person that you want to be with, date, get engaged to, maybe marry one day.
[00:17:22]  All of those decisions will be yours.
[00:17:24]  This article goes on.
[00:17:25]  If you do manage to hook one into a relationship, don't be surprised if you find yourself doing all the housework, tending to his emotions as well as his sexual desires, at least until he decides to replace you with an even more compliant, I'll use their term in the Wall Street Journal, bangmate.
[00:17:46]  Now, I want to make it clear that these are not my personal beliefs, but if you hang around long enough in the quarter of the internet known as the Femosphere, These are the messages you're going to hear.
[00:17:57]  You'll also discover that there's a solution.
[00:18:00]  Women need to harden their hearts, learn how to manipulate men the same way that men have purportedly been manipulating women for millennia.
[00:18:09]  By the way, haven't there always been women that have manipulated men?
[00:18:13]  I remember when, for the 20 plus years that I had a place on the other coast in Florida, and that was my vacation spot, and I owned this place forever.
[00:18:23]  And there was a bar, it was a Naples bar, it was called the Blue Martini.
[00:18:28]  Blue Martini, Linda, was the greatest people watching spot you'd ever see in your life.
[00:18:34]  You had all of these young, very attractive women that would go into that bar, and all these older men were there, and the women were there to meet the rich guy, and the rich guy wanted to meet the pretty girl.
[00:18:48]  You've seen that play out how many times?
[00:18:50]  When you were singing in a band for weddings, how many times did you see that game playing?
[00:18:54]  Oh, many, many times.
[00:18:55]  All right, so.
[00:18:56]  Anyway, the manosphere, loose network, male influencers, and they're like, bam, bam.
[00:19:03]  And I just believe in the biblical definition of how men should, I think men and women should go into a relationship with the idea of serving the other person.
[00:19:12]  What does the other person want?
[00:19:14]  You can get into a little deeper analysis.
[00:19:16]  If you want to analyze somebody's quote, love language and all that stuff, it depends how far you want to take it.
[00:19:22]  But it's a real phenomenon.
[00:19:23]  And, you know, for example, they go into this long strategy about dating and relationships.
[00:19:32]  And, for example, a high value woman is a woman who prioritizes self worth, standards, and boundaries, improving yourself, your looks, your finance, and mindset, lifestyle.
[00:19:44]  A woman who downplays her needs to appear easygoing to men, not making men the focus of your life, having confidence, mystery, intelligence, and control, seductive intelligence.
[00:19:55]  Using emotional and social awareness to your advantage or overall vibe, not becoming emotionally dependent on a man, letting others pursue instead of chasing.
[00:20:05]  I kind of agree with that.
[00:20:07]  Caring selectively to create a connection.
[00:20:10]  Then it goes into more specifics about, for example, and I agree with this, you know, insisting that a man pays for a date.
[00:20:18]  That part I agree with.
[00:20:20]  But they're saying insisting that a man pay in the form of redistribution.
[00:20:25]  To compensate for the overall gender gap.
[00:20:28]  What the hell is that all about?
[00:20:30]  And using sex, they go into great detail about using that as a weapon.
[00:20:35]  Anyway, are you one of these Femosphere supporters?
[00:20:38]  What do you think, having known me for so many years?
[00:20:42]  Just a little bit.
[00:20:43]  No, the answer is no.
[00:20:44]  However, I mean, there's nothing new here.
[00:20:47]  Just like, no, they're just giving it a new name.
[00:20:51]  There's nothing new there either.
[00:20:52]  I think what's annoying about this particular.
[00:20:56]  These are women who are making a buck off of giving it a new title, starting new handles, you know, creating little hashtags for expressions that they use when they catch a big fish, where they sprinkle their little touches on all these different guys and make them think they're interested.
[00:21:12]  The manipulation between the sexes has been going on for a very long time.
[00:21:17]  This is not news.
[00:21:19]  This is not earth-shattering.
[00:21:20]  There's plenty of scumbags on both sides of the aisle.
[00:21:23]  There's absolutely, in my opinion, there are just as many gross women, especially now.
[00:21:30]  This whole idea that we can all sleep around and you don't have to wait for marriage and, you know, we're on our first date and, hey, you want to go back to my place?
[00:21:37]  I'm like, bro, we just learned each other's middle name.
[00:21:39]  Like, I think we can like wait just a minute.
[00:21:42]  It's just all too fast.
[00:21:43]  It's all too much.
[00:21:45]  Wait a minute.
[00:21:45]  When you were dating, you'd make men wait one minute and then you'd go.
[00:21:48]  Ha ha.
[00:21:49]  Very funny.
[00:21:49]  But I mean, you know, you're engaged.
[00:21:51]  You're in this world now.
[00:21:52]  You know, you're about to get married and you're finally taking on this big change in your life.
[00:21:57]  And I think you and Ainsley have great roles in your relationship and you have a true understanding of what you each bring to the table.
[00:22:04]  A large part of it, I think, for success, at least for me, and I'm the last person to be given relationship advice, and I avoid it like the plague.
[00:22:12]  However, it is biblical.
[00:22:15]  I would push back gently.
[00:22:16]  You did have a dating site, so that's not 100% true.
[00:22:19]  No, Hannaday, we had hundreds of people get married.
[00:22:21]  By the way, we should bring it back.
[00:22:23]  No, bro.
[00:22:25]  As a matter of fact, what do you mean, no?
[00:22:27]  You don't get to say no.
[00:22:27]  It's Hannaday.
[00:22:28]  I'm going to be the one running it, not you.
[00:22:31]  Well, we'll get an extra person to help you.
[00:22:33]  Oh, my God.
[00:22:34]  All right, we put a poll up on Hannaday.com right now.
[00:22:37]  Should we bring back Hannah Date?
[00:22:39]  But I'm having my attorneys put up a full disclaimer that you are fully responsible.
[00:22:46]  I can't, there are psycho people out there.
[00:22:50]  And if it turns out somebody's a psycho, don't blame me for it.
[00:22:53]  But see, that's part of the waiting time.
[00:22:55]  You know, you have to wait a little while because I always say, like, three months is the honeymoon.
[00:23:00]  That's the glow period.
[00:23:01]  Six months is the, ooh, we made it six months.
[00:23:03]  It's a more serious period.
[00:23:04]  And one year is where you're like, oh my God, I had no idea this person was like this.
[00:23:09]  And you have to get to that spot before you can do that.
[00:23:12]  And that's what we're not seeing here.
[00:23:13]  Now, these women are strictly looking for, you know, the money, honey.
[00:23:17]  That's a completely different thing.
[00:23:18]  That's not love.
[00:23:19]  It's so cliche that.
[00:23:21]  You got to be friends on top of everything else.
[00:23:24]  And isn't it good to follow the one Christian model, which is you should serve your spouse?
[00:23:30]  I know.
[00:23:30]  I don't know why that became a dirty word.
[00:23:32]  Why is it so horrible to clean your home for your spouse and your children?
[00:23:36]  There's stuff that I do that I really don't want to do.
[00:23:40]  But, you know, if it's important to the other person, I mean, what's the big deal?
[00:23:44]  I mean, really ask yourself what is the big deal if somebody's asking you to do A, B, or C?
[00:23:49]  Is it that big?
[00:23:49]  I will tell you what the big deal is that would solve all of these problems.
[00:23:53]  And I talk about this all the time.
[00:23:54]  With a lot of my friends that are in relationships and married.
[00:23:58]  If you are not grateful, if you do not express gratitude, and if you do not stop complaining about everything, you will never have a happy relationship because everybody is dealing with that.
[00:24:08]  It's just when they're on a daily basis with your relationship with me.
[00:24:11]  Bro, I'm patient with you all day long.
[00:24:14]  That's literally my whole identity from nine to five patience.
[00:24:18]  If this is patience, wow, I'd hate to see him.
[00:24:21]  It's Hannah Fide patience.
[00:24:23]  It's a little different, but it's similar.
[00:24:25]  Yes.
[00:24:25]  All you do is try to push my buttons all day and piss me off.
[00:24:28]  And you're welcome.
[00:24:29]  Your ratings are doing great.
[00:24:31]  Your new Bible called Linditarianism.
[00:24:33]  I mean, it's insane.
[00:24:34]  It's catching on.
[00:24:35]  No, it's not.
[00:24:35]  But in all honesty.
[00:24:36]  We've got a few sycophants that want to get on the air, and they think it's time for them to do it.
[00:24:40]  They'll get on the air.
[00:24:41]  I don't have sycophants.
[00:24:42]  I have true believers.
[00:24:43]  No, you do.
[00:24:43]  There's a difference.
[00:24:44]  Yes, you do.
[00:24:44]  No, it's not sycophants.
[00:24:46]  All right, the Femosphere.
[00:24:47]  Now I've got to do it.
[00:24:49]  It is entertaining as hell.
[00:24:50]  I mean, we literally, I'd bring friends and family, and we'd go to the Blue Martini, and you'd watch this play out, and it was amazing.
[00:24:58]  These young, very attractive women, these older guys look like they have money.
[00:25:03]  A lot of them in Naples, Florida actually do have money.
[00:25:07]  And it's like it is a transactional relationship.
[00:25:12]  It's not one that's destined, I don't think, on paper to be long lasting.
[00:25:18]  You see a lot of that in other wealthy parts of New York City.
[00:25:23]  You see it in places like Palm Beach.
[00:25:25]  It's very common, very, very common.

=== The Price We Are Paying (04:58) ===

[00:25:28]  I don't know.
[00:25:29]  I think you should be friends first and then all of a sudden, no.
[00:25:31]  On a date?
[00:25:32]  I think you should be both.
[00:25:33]  I think that it is more than natural to say, hey, that person's super hot and they're super cool.
[00:25:39]  And hey, we can build a life together.
[00:25:40]  And that might work out if we could stop, you know, if we could stop all the BS about not wanting to serve one another.
[00:25:46]  Serving each other is a privilege.
[00:25:48]  The fact that you can provide for your family is a privilege.
[00:25:51]  It's part of being good at life, period.
[00:25:53]  End of sentence.
[00:25:54]  Called adulting.
[00:25:54]  Serve your spouse the way God served the church.
[00:25:57]  I'm not even putting God into it, although God is a massive part of my life.
[00:26:00]  But some people, it's like, you know, just be nice to your spouse.
[00:26:04]  You know, you got the whole world to hate you.
[00:26:06]  You got one person at home.
[00:26:07]  Just be nice to them.
[00:26:08]  Scott in Arizona.
[00:26:09]  What's up, Scott?
[00:26:10]  Yeah, I totally agree with you about the blockade is brilliant.
[00:26:16]  And where I'm frustrated and I'm kind of getting tired of hearing is about how we're doing such a great job.
[00:26:21]  We eliminated their leadership, we dismantled their military.
[00:26:24]  Trump's saying we're energy independent.
[00:26:26]  We don't need the street.
[00:26:28]  Europe needs it more than we do.
[00:26:29]  It should be easy to clear out since we eliminated their Navy anyway.
[00:26:34]  And I know you recently had a Shell executive come out and explain about how if 20% of the gas is affected and it's going to affect the global market, yada, yada, yada.
[00:26:45]  But as a gas paying American, you know, that's all kind of, you know, just, I don't really care about that.
[00:26:52]  You know, I know it doesn't sound good, but all I really care about is our gas prices going down.
[00:26:56]  I don't want to hear about how Europe isn't helping power, you know, bombing power plants and bridges, negotiations, sea fires.
[00:27:06]  You know, I'm a big overall, I'm a big fan of Epic Fury, but why wasn't the blockade baked into it from the beginning?
[00:27:14]  Like, we didn't care about what anyone thought of when we started Epic Fury.
[00:27:18]  So, why didn't we just go in and clear it?
[00:27:21]  It was factored in.
[00:27:22]  I mean, and the president can end it very quickly.
[00:27:26]  However, the president, I think, rightly is showing restraint and giving Iran the opportunity to preserve some sense.
[00:27:36]  You know, there's 90 million people that live in Iran.
[00:27:38]  The Persian people have a great culture and a great history.
[00:27:42]  And for the sake of people, he's trying not to destroy for decades their ability, their infrastructure of their entire economy.
[00:27:53]  Yeah, there is some short term pain that goes along with making the world a safer place and not allowing the Iranians to have nuclear weapons.
[00:28:05]  Absolutely.
[00:28:06]  However, with all that said, This is going to be over very, very quickly from this point on.
[00:28:13]  We're now at the fish or cut bait point in the operation.
[00:28:18]  Either they'll do it the easy way or the hard way.
[00:28:20]  And regardless of what option they choose, we will then, you know, it will be resolved.
[00:28:27]  You know, listen, I'm a gas paying American like you.
[00:28:30]  I hate to pay one cent more than I have to pay for anything.
[00:28:33]  It pisses me off.
[00:28:35]  I don't like it.
[00:28:36]  However, I do like the fact that we're not going to be handing off to our kids and grandkids a nuclear armed Iran.
[00:28:42]  Because I do believe one day down the road that they would use those weapons and potentially murder millions of people.
[00:28:49]  I really believe that.
[00:28:50]  Do you believe that?
[00:28:51]  No, I get it 100%.
[00:28:52]  I just wish that's the price we're paying.
[00:28:55]  Anyway, Scott, you do raise a good point.
[00:28:58]  I understand people's frustration, I don't want to act insensitive towards it.
[00:29:02]  pain that's going to wrap things up for today uh we have
[00:29:30]  We have a great Hannity tonight, 9 Eastern, on the Fox News Channel.
[00:29:33]  How long will the president's patience hold out now that the Iranians are getting a preview of coming attractions, what life might look like if, in fact, they don't have an economy?
[00:29:44]  It's either the hard way or the easy way, but it's not anything that they can win, especially with the success of the blockade.
[00:29:50]  We'll have an update on all of that.
[00:29:53]  We'll also get comments, commentary.
[00:29:55]  We'll have reporters on the ground all around the region.
[00:29:58]  Lindsey Graham tonight.
[00:30:00]  We will take on Pope Leo and his comments about President Trump.
[00:30:05]  And we'll get reaction from Reverend Franklin Graham tonight.
[00:30:09]  The corrupt legacy media mob.
[00:30:11]  You know, you would think this is the worst run war in the world when it is, you know, the biggest beatdown in the history of warfare.
[00:30:19]  Anyway, all coming up tonight, 9 Eastern.
[00:30:21]  Set your DVR.
[00:30:22]  Hannity, Fox News.
[00:30:23]  We'll see you tonight.
[00:30:24]  Back here tomorrow.
[00:30:25]  Thank you for making this show possible.
