Duration: 30:04


=== Melania's Violent Political Rhetoric (10:36) ===

[00:00:00]  This is an iHeart podcast.
[00:00:02]  Guaranteed human.
[00:00:03]  All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
[00:00:07]  Toll free, here's our telephone number.
[00:00:08]  It's 800 941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
[00:00:13]  The first lady taking on Jimmy Kimmel, rightly so, for the insanity of his statements just, you know, what, 24 hours or so before.
[00:00:23]  Oh, she's happy because she's going to soon be a widow.
[00:00:27]  What is he really saying?
[00:00:29]  He's saying that he's talking about a president being dead.
[00:00:35]  Is that supposed to be funny?
[00:00:36]  Because I don't find anything funny about it.
[00:00:39]  And the first lady's saying, No, sorry, it's disgusting.
[00:00:43]  And ABC should be reconsidering somebody that thinks it's funny to be talking about dead presidents.
[00:00:49]  Here, listen.
[00:00:50]  How far you've come?
[00:00:51]  30 years ago, you were just some rich guy on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet out of Teeterboro, but you worked hard, you stayed friends, you shared some wonderful secrets.
[00:00:59]  And because of that, you were able to fly on that plane seven more times.
[00:01:03]  Dreams really do come true.
[00:01:04]  Am I right?
[00:01:08]  Dog the bounty hunter?
[00:01:08]  That's right.
[00:01:11]  We miss you so much.
[00:01:12]  And of course, our first lady, Melania, is here.
[00:01:15]  Look at Melania.
[00:01:16]  So beautiful.
[00:01:16]  Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.
[00:01:19]  We had a little roast.
[00:01:20]  Again, this was Thursday, and there was no big reaction to it until this morning when I greeted the day facing yet another Twitter vomit storm.
[00:01:30]  And a call to fire me from our first lady, Melania Trump, saying I should be fired because of a joke I made, again, five nights ago.
[00:01:40]  It was a pretend roast.
[00:01:41]  I said, Our first lady, Melania, is here.
[00:01:43]  Look at her, so beautiful.
[00:01:45]  Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow, which obviously was a joke about their age difference and the look of joy we see on her face every time they're together.
[00:01:59]  It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he's almost 80 and she's younger than I am.
[00:02:03]  It was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination.
[00:02:09]  And they know that.
[00:02:10]  I've been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence in particular.
[00:02:14]  But I understand that the first lady had a stressful experience over the weekend, and probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house.
[00:02:22]  So, this is how he's made his living.
[00:02:24]  His show has failed spectacularly.
[00:02:26]  I mean, Colbert's going away.
[00:02:29]  What he's missing is he's joking about a dead president.
[00:02:34]  And this is why people don't want to watch this guy.
[00:02:37]  He just, people, and they don't care.
[00:02:39]  And I think the first lady is right to call him out.
[00:02:42]  There's nothing funny about joking about dead presidents.
[00:02:45]  Now, if you want to learn from the master of late night, probably the person to listen to would be people like, oh, let's see, maybe the great late Johnny Carson, because this is a clip of Johnny Carson from the Oscars addressing the Reagan assassination attempt at the time.
[00:03:04]  Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:03:06]  I'm sure that all of you here and most of you watching tonight understand why we'd have delayed this program for 24 hours.
[00:03:13]  Because of the incredible events of yesterday, that old adage, the show must go on, seemed relatively unimportant.
[00:03:20]  The Academy, ABC Television, and all of us connected with the show felt because of the uncertain outcome, as of this time yesterday, it would have been inappropriate to stage a celebration.
[00:03:31]  But the news today is very good, as you know.
[00:03:33]  The President is in excellent condition at last reports.
[00:03:35]  He's been conducting business.
[00:03:36]  And he is, and he happens to be in very good spirits.
[00:03:45]  I mean, just a class act and so different.
[00:03:48]  Mark Beckman is with us, senior advisor to the First Lady.
[00:03:51]  He has newsworthy pieces of information.
[00:03:54]  Why would anybody think that this is a joke to talk about a dead president and the fact that he doesn't get it and the fact that he tries to rationalize and justify what he did here and apparently still has the full support of these idiots over at Disney ABC?
[00:04:10]  Sean, thanks for having me today and thank you for supporting the president and our great first lady all the time.
[00:04:18]  I see what you do.
[00:04:19]  You're incredible.
[00:04:20]  The reality is that Kimmel needs to go.
[00:04:22]  His time is over.
[00:04:24]  ABC needs to take action and they should fire him.
[00:04:28]  Period.
[00:04:28]  And this isn't an issue of the First Amendment.
[00:04:30]  To me, this is a pure commercial enterprise issue.
[00:04:35]  Why on earth would ABC and its parent company, Disney, want to be affiliated with this vile person who night after night for months and months comes with political rhetoric that is against our president, that is against the Republican Party, and is inciting, obviously, some level of violent action, particularly in a time, Sean, just now.
[00:04:59]  The Wall Street reported that there is more violence from the left to the right.
[00:05:05]  It's for the first time in a long time that this data has shifted, and it continues to trend in this direction.
[00:05:11]  So the words matter, and this person is in our homes, entering our homes.
[00:05:17]  50% of the nation supports President Trump.
[00:05:20]  More than 50% of the nation supports President Trump.
[00:05:23]  He's entering our living rooms, and he's creating this divisive language that is resulting in.
[00:05:30]  Action against Republicans that is in many times physical.
[00:05:34]  This is the third assassination attempt on President Trump, as you said over and over again.
[00:05:39]  It's time to get rid of him.
[00:05:41]  I mean, I just don't find anything funny about it.
[00:05:43]  Let me just reverse this and let me be very, very clear.
[00:05:47]  And I can pull all the tapes of all of the times that I said it.
[00:05:51]  I was not the biggest fan politically of Barack Hussein Obama.
[00:05:55]  I'm still not.
[00:05:55]  I think he was a terrible president.
[00:05:57]  However, my producer, Linda, can affirm this.
[00:06:01]  How many times did I say we've got to make sure our president, our cabinet, our vice president are safe and secure?
[00:06:09]  They've got to have the best security.
[00:06:11]  I said it all the time.
[00:06:12]  And I was right then.
[00:06:15]  I'm right now.
[00:06:16]  And again, there's nothing funny about talking about a dead president.
[00:06:21]  You know, he can say, well, it was just in humor, it was roasting humor.
[00:06:24]  He can make up all the excuses he wants.
[00:06:27]  And then this is a guy that goes on TV and cries and wants the nation.
[00:06:32]  And by the way, the nation did respond when his child was sick.
[00:06:36]  And offered their sympathy, their love, and their prayers, and he wanted to be taken seriously.
[00:06:41]  If I ever made a joke about Obama or made a joke, which I never would do, about something as serious as this, I guarantee you, Mark, I would not be on this radio program.
[00:06:52]  I'd not be on the Fox News channel, and I would have been canceled, shut down, boycotted, fired a long time ago.
[00:06:59]  There's no doubt about it.
[00:07:00]  The Democrat Party needs to look in the mirror right now.
[00:07:04]  This type of violent political rhetoric.
[00:07:07]  Is existing across the entire monopolized Democrat cultural ecosystem.
[00:07:13]  It's in entertainment, in sports, it's in fashion, it's in media, it's in news, it's in politics.
[00:07:20]  And over and over again, it's impacting people.
[00:07:23]  And it's time for us to start paying attention.
[00:07:25]  Think about it, Sean.
[00:07:26]  This guy, the shooter that they got the other night, thank God, this guy, what was going on in his mind?
[00:07:33]  He was an educator, he's a teacher on the West Coast, and something convinced him to go and buy a small arsenal.
[00:07:41]  Get on a train, go across the country, check into the hotel room specifically to attack our president and members of the cabinet.
[00:07:50]  Something is wrong, and a lot of it, I believe, is coming from this negative rhetoric within the entire Democratic ecosystem.
[00:07:59]  And they need to look in the mirror now.
[00:08:01]  Why is it that since this incident, since the Kimmel incident, only two people from that ecosystem, Axelrod and Senator Fetterman, have come out and said, you know what, this is not right.
[00:08:14]  This rhetoric is not okay.
[00:08:15]  It's not a First Amendment issue.
[00:08:17]  There are bigger issues at stake here, commercial as well as There's a sickness in America, and it's permeated across the Democrat Party within the entire cultural ecosystem.
[00:08:29]  It really is despicable.
[00:08:30]  How is the first lady doing?
[00:08:32]  And by the way, she put out in her tweet that Kimmel's hateful, violent rhetoric is intended to divide the country.
[00:08:37]  His monologue about my family is not comedy.
[00:08:40]  His words are corrosive.
[00:08:42]  It deepens the political sickness within America, and they shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes.
[00:08:48]  I can only tell you if I ever tried to, quote, joke, About killing a Democratic president, which I never would do, I guarantee you, Mark, I would not be on the air.
[00:08:58]  I guarantee you, the double standard is palpable.
[00:09:02]  There's no doubt about that.
[00:09:04]  You ask how the First Lady's doing.
[00:09:05]  She's focused.
[00:09:06]  She obviously loves being the First Lady of the United States, takes that job very seriously.
[00:09:11]  So she's got the royals there, as you're very well aware, and she's planned some incredible things.
[00:09:17]  That night, though, it was a big event.
[00:09:20]  She shared with me, Sean, and I'll share this with you.
[00:09:23]  We haven't spoken a lot about it yet, but she was actually not frightened when that entire thing happened.
[00:09:29]  She's a very strong minded person, as you know.
[00:09:32]  I know she's a friend of yours, and she knew exactly what to do.
[00:09:35]  She was the first one to duck to get underneath the dais and underneath the table.
[00:09:40]  And she was telling other people that she was sitting with, you know, come on, you got to duck, get under, get under.
[00:09:46]  From there, she was thrilled that no one in the room was harmed.
[00:09:50]  Everybody was okay.
[00:09:51]  And she spoke to me for a long time about the fact that their safety was preserved, not just her and the president.
[00:09:57]  Everyone in the room.
[00:09:58]  And finally, look, she's realistic.
[00:10:00]  She knows we're living in this day and age of political violence.
[00:10:05]  It happens over and over again.
[00:10:07]  It's not just with President Trump.
[00:10:08]  We saw it with Charlie Kirk and beyond.
[00:10:10]  And she realizes that there's an inherent threat that comes with being first lady married to President Trump.
[00:10:16]  And it doesn't matter.
[00:10:17]  It's not going to slow her down.
[00:10:19]  She continues to push forward.
[00:10:20]  In fact, just a few hours ago, she organized another Fostering the Future Together event with Queen Camilla.
[00:10:27]  At the White House, on the tennis pavilion, and she'll keep pushing forward on behalf of America, America's children, and America's families.

=== First Lady Safety Concerns (05:15) ===

[00:10:36]  You know, I wish people knew the person that I knew because she's one of the most loving, one of the toughest people I've ever met.
[00:10:42]  And there is a side to her that people just don't understand, and nor do they really want to, Mark.
[00:10:51]  And by the way, when the president was in the holding room, I spoke with him immediately, and he wanted to go back out.
[00:10:57]  And I'm like, sir, you cannot go back out.
[00:10:59]  We don't know if it's a.
[00:11:01]  A lone shooter.
[00:11:02]  We don't know if it's a grander conspiracy.
[00:11:04]  And I had to give him, you know, my best advice at the time.
[00:11:08]  I've been friends with him for 30 years.
[00:11:12]  Anyway, Mark, we appreciate you.
[00:11:13]  Mark Beckman, senior advisor to the First Lady.
[00:11:15]  Thank you.
[00:11:16]  Please send our love and prayers to her.
[00:11:18]  And I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that.
[00:11:21]  I certainly will.
[00:11:22]  Thanks for having me, Sean.
[00:11:23]  Thank you so much.
[00:11:24]  Thank you, sir.
[00:11:30]  Looking for fake news?
[00:11:32]  You'll all.
[00:11:33]  Find it here.
[00:11:34]  You're with Sean Hannity.
[00:11:37]  On the air now.
[00:12:10]  as he phones.
[00:12:11]  Chris in Tennessee.
[00:12:13]  Chris, how are you?
[00:12:14]  Glad you called, sir.
[00:12:16]  How are you doing there, Sean?
[00:12:18]  I have one question for the Secret Service.
[00:12:20]  Why is this suspect not DRT?
[00:12:24]  Why?
[00:12:24]  I'm sorry.
[00:12:25]  Why?
[00:12:25]  Oh, dead?
[00:12:27]  I don't know.
[00:12:28]  Actually, I prefer him not being dead in this sense.
[00:12:32]  Hear me out.
[00:12:33]  Because we can get information.
[00:12:36]  I want to know if other people were involved.
[00:12:38]  I want to know if there's a grander conspiracy.
[00:12:41]  I want to know as much as we can possibly learn from this guy.
[00:12:44]  I want to know what his influences are.
[00:12:47]  In that sense, that is helpful in terms of the information we can get from him.
[00:12:52]  But, you know, dead, alive, no difference.
[00:12:55]  Really isn't.
[00:12:56]  Well, there is.
[00:12:57]  There is.
[00:12:58]  And here's why I'm 180 degrees different.
[00:13:01]  I don't care his reasons, I don't care his motives.
[00:13:04]  I prefer he's dead.
[00:13:05]  It saves a lot of court system time, saves jail time, and saves everything a lot of heartache.
[00:13:11]  It's like I wish Charlie Kirk's shooter was dead.
[00:13:14]  Let me ask you this, though.
[00:13:15]  What if we can get information from the guy that would be relevant in getting other people that might have helped or aided and abetted in this crime?
[00:13:23]  I don't care.
[00:13:24]  I don't care.
[00:13:25]  You can do that.
[00:13:25]  I want him dead.
[00:13:26]  I got it.
[00:13:26]  You don't care.
[00:13:27]  I want him dead.
[00:13:28]  I want him dead, period.
[00:13:30]  And I don't care if the president's a Democrat or Republican.
[00:13:32]  It doesn't matter.
[00:13:33]  I want the guy dead.
[00:13:34]  All right.
[00:13:34]  We're going to put down Chris in Tennessee.
[00:13:36]  He's in the dead column.
[00:13:38]  We appreciate the call, Chris.
[00:13:40]  Cheryl in my free state of Florida.
[00:13:42]  Hi.
[00:13:42]  Hey, Sean.
[00:13:43]  Thanks so much for taking my call.
[00:13:44]  I appreciate it.
[00:13:47]  What's going on?
[00:13:48]  My question is about the first lady.
[00:13:50]  This is Trump.
[00:13:51]  I'm so concerned about her.
[00:13:53]  I know she's strong and she holds the first lady title with grace and with this whole Jimmy Kimmel mess that he's open in his mouth and shouldn't be.
[00:14:05]  And I agree that he needs to be fired.
[00:14:08]  But I'm concerned about her mentally and physically.
[00:14:11]  Is she okay?
[00:14:13]  The answer to your question is, and I don't, I want to respect the fact that the first lady chooses to be a very private person.
[00:14:21]  I know her, I know her better than I ever disclose.
[00:14:25]  And the only thing I can tell you is she is so much tougher than people will ever give her credit for.
[00:14:33]  Way tougher.
[00:14:35]  She is as tough as her husband.
[00:14:38]  Let's put it that way, if not tougher in some ways.
[00:14:42]  Is it comfortable?
[00:14:43]  No.
[00:14:44]  Is it pleasant?
[00:14:45]  No.
[00:14:45]  No.
[00:14:46]  Is any of that job pleasant?
[00:14:47]  No.
[00:14:49]  Would I ever want that job?
[00:14:50]  Hell no.
[00:14:52]  However, I mean, not first lady, but being involved at that level of government?
[00:14:57]  No.
[00:14:58]  And I just admire people that sacrifice for the sake of their country.
[00:15:01]  They didn't have to do this.
[00:15:03]  Carol, they don't.
[00:15:04]  They had all the money.
[00:15:06]  They could have lived out their life, traveled the world, you know, not dealt with, you know, courts and weaponization, but they want to serve their country.
[00:15:14]  The president's sincere about that.
[00:15:15]  That I know, and so is she.
[00:15:18]  Anyway, I do hope that answers your question, my friend.
[00:15:20]  Thank you, Cheryl.
[00:15:21]  800-941-SHAWN is our number as we continue.

=== Alec Baldwin Radio Show Host (05:06) ===

[00:15:52]  Alec Baldwin's favorite radio talk show host is on the air right now.
[00:15:57]  Right, Mr. Baldwin?
[00:16:00]  Here's Sean Hannity.
[00:16:01]  All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
[00:16:04]  Well, Linda, you'll love this story.
[00:16:06]  A Wisconsin teacher placed on leave following controversial comments in which he said, He's not impressed with recent presidential assassins.
[00:16:17]  Uh huh.
[00:16:18]  I'm not impressed with the recent presidential assassins.
[00:16:21]  It's effing embarrassing.
[00:16:23]  John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald must be spinning in their graves.
[00:16:29]  Make Americans great assassins again.
[00:16:33]  The school district released a statement on Monday saying it had been made aware of the post, and the guy that's worked as a teacher in the district for more than 20 years has been placed on administrative leave.
[00:16:43]  Now, you're going to tell me that this guy, there was no indication.
[00:16:46]  This guy was a left wing radical before this.
[00:16:49]  I have a hard time buying that.
[00:16:50]  Then you've got.
[00:16:51]  I don't know.
[00:16:51]  I don't know.
[00:16:52]  I disagree with you a little bit.
[00:16:53]  I think the Trump derangement syndrome stuff is.
[00:16:56]  Pretty real.
[00:16:57]  Like post COVID, people really went like just, they went out of their minds.
[00:17:01]  There was no warning.
[00:17:03]  United Healthcare had to fire a woman who expressed sadness in a TikTok video that President Donald Trump was not killed in the Saturday shooting during the White House Correspondents Association dinner.
[00:17:14]  In the video, she sarcastically asked, Oh, they're missed.
[00:17:20]  You know, we're cooked as a country when my first reaction to hearing about news of Donald Trump's attempt was it was probably fake.
[00:17:27]  You know what, the first thing that was trending on X immediately following this?
[00:17:32]  Staged.
[00:17:34]  This is how, you know, conspiratorial.
[00:17:36]  And I keep telling people that the online world is not real.
[00:17:41]  How many times am I warning people don't pay attention to this online world?
[00:17:44]  It's cancerous, it's not real.
[00:17:47]  And you have to understand that there are geopolitical foes that are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to try to influence your young children and pushing, for example, anti Semitism and whatever other messaging that they want.
[00:18:01]  They're pushing social.
[00:18:02]  Radicalism, anti Trumpism, and it's all being bought and paid for.
[00:18:07]  And then a lot of these influencers, you know, I'd love to get to the bottom of, you know, whatever shell company might be paying them and wherever the shell company's getting the money from.
[00:18:17]  I'd like to get to the bottom of that.
[00:18:20]  You're going to love this too, Linda.
[00:18:21]  The Department of Justice indicted a former senior advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci, your favorite doctor, for allegedly concealing records amid probes into the origins of the COVID 19 pandemic.
[00:18:34]  Now, Rand Paul did write the definitive book on all this with all of the messages that were out there and available.
[00:18:40]  They knew.
[00:18:42]  They knew from the beginning.
[00:18:44]  We had reported.
[00:18:44]  I am so excited about this.
[00:18:46]  I can't even tell you.
[00:18:47]  I saw it this morning.
[00:18:48]  I was out of my mind.
[00:18:50]  Peter Dansick, all these guys, Echo Health Alliance, the conspiracy to keep the lab leak theory, using private emails, keeping it all in your house.
[00:18:59]  I'm telling you, I was so, I can't wait for Fauci to go down.
[00:19:01]  Fauci to fraud.
[00:19:03]  With all due respect, we've been reporting on this since the beginning.
[00:19:06]  I think we were the I know, but we didn't have the legal backing because we had all of the complete and utter warfare from the bench, the lawfare from the bench.
[00:19:16]  They didn't care about the truth.
[00:19:17]  They just wanted to propagate the lie.
[00:19:19]  They were making money off all their schemes.
[00:19:21]  United Healthcare fires the woman over.
[00:19:24]  Oh, they missed a comment on the Trump assassination attempt.
[00:19:28]  These people are so sick.
[00:19:31]  I did this pod with Bongino, and we were both friends with Bongino.
[00:19:35]  And he revealed to me how.
[00:19:39]  He trapped snakes inside the FBI to stop media leaks.
[00:19:43]  He just trapped them.
[00:19:44]  He set a trap for them, gave them false information, and then it got released publicly.
[00:19:49]  I mean, we have within our own government a deep state.
[00:19:53]  And I don't think people understand how pervasive it is and how deeply entrenched it is.
[00:20:01]  And it's all real.
[00:20:01]  And then Dan, you know what Dan's fear is?
[00:20:03]  I don't want to give too much of the pot away.
[00:20:05]  His fear is they're going to come for him.
[00:20:08]  He thinks when they get back in power, they're going to want to arrest him.
[00:20:11]  He's not wrong.
[00:20:13]  They're already playing.
[00:20:14]  Listen, I'm going to tell you right now, and I know you hate when I bring this up because you think I'm nuts, but I'm going to tell you right now.
[00:20:22]  If we do not pass the Save Act, we're done.
[00:20:25]  We're cooked.
[00:20:26]  If John Thune doesn't get off his ass and let us work this filibuster so that we can protect our elections, I promise you they will take over everything.
[00:20:35]  It's not that I care, it's not that I don't agree with you.
[00:20:38]  I'm just telling you, the votes do not currently exist.
[00:20:42]  So then let's hold our feet to the carpet.
[00:20:44]  Let's get them out there.
[00:20:45]  Let's see who's not supporting them.
[00:20:46]  Let's hold their feet to the carpet.
[00:20:48]  Our feet are held to the carpet.
[00:20:49]  I'm on the carpet.
[00:20:50]  I want to put them on the carpet.
[00:20:51]  I want to face them nose to nose, face to face.
[00:20:54]  And I want you to tell me to my face why you don't want to have safe and secure elections.

=== Save Act Or We Are Cooked (07:33) ===

[00:20:58]  I want to know why.
[00:20:59]  You go there.
[00:21:00]  We're going to send you as our man on the street correspondent.
[00:21:03]  Oh, listen.
[00:21:04]  You don't want to send me as your man on the street.
[00:21:05]  Me and Thune do not get along.
[00:21:07]  Trust me.
[00:21:08]  You don't get along at all.
[00:21:10]  Absolutely not.
[00:21:10]  By the way, did you see that TMZ nailed me yesterday?
[00:21:14]  They didn't nail you.
[00:21:15]  That was, oh my God.
[00:21:17]  That was like you guys could have got coffee together.
[00:21:20]  So I said, who are you with?
[00:21:21]  And I go, TMZ.
[00:21:22]  I said, I love Harvey Levin.
[00:21:23]  Tell Harvey.
[00:21:24]  I'm like going, Harvey, Harvey, Harvey, Harvey.
[00:21:26]  I don't know why they took that out.
[00:21:27]  That's dumb.
[00:21:29]  It's funny.
[00:21:29]  It was very funny.
[00:21:30]  All right, let's get to our phones.
[00:21:32]  800 941, Sean, if you want to join us.
[00:21:35]  Ari in Brooklyn, next Sean Hannity show.
[00:21:38]  Hi.
[00:21:39]  Hi, Sean.
[00:21:39]  Thanks for taking the call.
[00:21:41]  I just wanted to say that the president is on the right track here.
[00:21:47]  I don't know if we started off with a perfect plan, but, you know, when you make the right adjustments and mill it a game, that's the mark of really good thinking.
[00:21:57]  And the Iranians are now seem to be begging.
[00:22:01]  For us to open the strait.
[00:22:05]  And the president's on the right track.
[00:22:06]  In Iran, I understand the price of meat is up 700%.
[00:22:09]  The price of food is up 100%.
[00:22:11]  The mayor of Tehran has asked the population to cut back on electricity.
[00:22:17]  They're storing electricity, they're storing, I'm sorry, crude oil in decommissioned supertankers because they're choking on it and it's going to harm their future ability to produce oil.
[00:22:29]  And the president, we don't even need to bomb them.
[00:22:32]  It seems that they can absorb bombing.
[00:22:34]  They don't really care about their country, their population, but they're in real danger.
[00:22:41]  And if we keep this up, I believe the population eventually will come out and back in the street.
[00:22:50]  And, you know, the president is under tremendous pressure.
[00:22:53]  Europeans, the left, the media, Democrats are all saying, we lost this war.
[00:22:57]  And we did not lose this war.
[00:23:00]  This is the president has checkmated them.
[00:23:04]  And the only thing they can do is flip the board at this.
[00:23:06]  Point.
[00:23:06]  They really have no cards left to play.
[00:23:09]  And the only thing they could do is attack infrastructure of the other Gulf countries.
[00:23:13]  And that would be suicide for them because then obviously that's the end of their ability to, again, create economic means to survive.
[00:23:25]  We have to break them.
[00:23:27]  And at this point, I think the president's blockade is very effective.
[00:23:32]  It's destroying their economy.
[00:23:34]  They're going to, in, I don't know, a week, two weeks, three weeks, Whatever it is, they're going to have to cap their wells.
[00:23:39]  That's going to reduce their production dramatically, number one.
[00:23:43]  And I think the other part, I think the president should go back to military infrastructure attacks as soon as possible.
[00:23:49]  I just do.
[00:23:51]  Okay.
[00:23:51]  And I think we know the outcome.
[00:23:54]  We win, they lose.
[00:23:56]  We know what the outcome is going to be.
[00:23:58]  Yeah, there's no negotiations here.
[00:23:59]  It's capitulation.
[00:24:01]  And in this case, it's without, you know, Germany and Japan were both occupied after they lost their wars.
[00:24:07]  Nobody's looking for that to happen here.
[00:24:09]  We just want them to be, you know, a place that doesn't sponsor terrorism.
[00:24:14]  That doesn't try to control the world economy by controlling the Straits and doesn't need a nuclear bomb because they have no natural enemies.
[00:24:23]  They've only created enemies who need to defend themselves.
[00:24:28]  They have no natural enemies in their part of the world and they have no need for anything like that.
[00:24:34]  Look, I think we got to win.
[00:24:36]  I think the sooner we do, the better, but I don't think it's something that you can rush and you can't put it on a timetable and the president's being patient.
[00:24:44]  I think that the blockade was way more effective than anyone anticipated, and I think it's going to bear great fruit as we now head down the line.
[00:24:52]  I'd love to see the next tier of leadership say goodbye to this earth and let them go home and see if they get their 72 virgins.
[00:24:59]  Good luck with that.
[00:25:01]  I appreciate the call, my friend.
[00:25:03]  800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, AL in New York.
[00:25:08]  What's up, AL?
[00:25:09]  How are you?
[00:25:10]  Hi, how are you, Sean?
[00:25:11]  Thank you very much for taking my call, man.
[00:25:13]  I'm a big fan.
[00:25:15]  Thank you for calling.
[00:25:16]  What's going on?
[00:25:17]  So, I wanted to speak regarding that fail of the president's safety.
[00:25:25]  I'm no expert.
[00:25:26]  I spoke to the lady before who received my call first.
[00:25:30]  And I said that originally I served in the IDF for some years, but I'm far from being an expert in any security for any personnel.
[00:25:39]  But even someone like myself can tell that something does not look right here.
[00:25:45]  It actually looks almost very clumsy.
[00:25:49]  Time after time after time, people come too close to the president.
[00:25:54]  And, you know, I can only take an example from what happened in Israel back in 1995 after they assassinated Rabin.
[00:26:02]  And ever since then, I can tell you right now unless you're like deciding to crash an F 15 into the car that's been taking the prime minister of Israel right now, there's no way in the world that you come anywhere near him.
[00:26:22]  By far.
[00:26:23]  And I've actually heard you yesterday on the show talking about that, that you went to interview him in New York and you had to go to layers of security.
[00:26:35]  And I bet you it's going to be far harder to go inside the Israeli consulate in New York than to come closer to our president.
[00:26:45]  So to me, it feels like almost someone from the inside wants our president dead.
[00:26:53]  And I'm not a person who lives by conspiracy theories and all kinds of stories, but it makes no sense, especially after what happened in Butler.
[00:27:04]  I mean, that should have been like not just one red light, that should have been like 10 red lights pumping together.
[00:27:10]  And after that, we had two times that people were able to come far too close to hurt the president.
[00:27:18]  We're going to run out of luck if we're not careful.
[00:27:21]  The same mistake is being made every single time.
[00:27:24]  They're not building out a perimeter.
[00:27:26]  They are not sweeping properly.
[00:27:29]  They are not clearing and they're not holding properly.
[00:27:33]  That happened in Butler.
[00:27:34]  That happened at Trump International.
[00:27:36]  That happened on Saturday night.
[00:27:38]  It's got to be fixed.
[00:27:40]  There is a, it has nothing to do with the bravery of the agents.
[00:27:44]  It has to do with the work that needs to go into an appearance of a president and his cabinet in one room.
[00:27:53]  You know, somebody brought up on the program earlier what if this was seven people that were charging that room and they had automatic weapons or semi automatic weapons?
[00:28:01]  I mean, it could have been a massacre.
[00:28:04]  People could have been wiped out in that room.
[00:28:07]  You had top cabinet officials, you had the president, you had the vice president, you had the first lady, you had, you know, Every, every, you have the Speaker of the House.
[00:28:18]  I mean, we, we, we had every secession level possible in that room.
[00:28:22]  It's not funny.
[00:28:23]  And this has got to stop.
[00:28:25]  The only thing I can tell you is I have now involved myself at a level that I'm just not going to talk about because I've had it.

=== Iranian Economy Impact Analysis (01:32) ===

[00:28:32]  I'm not, this cannot ever happen again.
[00:28:36]  Period.
[00:28:37]  End of sentence.
[00:28:38]  There's no more excuses here.
[00:28:40]  This can't happen anymore.
[00:28:42]  Anyway, I do appreciate the call, AL.
[00:28:44]  Thank you, 800.
[00:28:49]  The world is awake and watching President Trump's every move.
[00:28:54]  I will fight for you.
[00:28:56]  And they're well rested, too, after four years of Sleepy Joe.
[00:29:01]  This is the Sean Hannity Show.
