Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thanks chet Chawn. An hour two Sean Hannity Show,
toll free, it is eight hundred and nine four one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program.
In a minute, we're going to head to the ground
bird's eye view of what's been happening to Tel Aviv.
Amazing to watch the majority of Democrats are citing with
the radical, virulent squad as represented by Congresswoman Omar. Listen

(00:27):
to her comments to be.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Coming out of our country. I mean, I grew up
in a dictatorship and I don't even remember ever witnessing
anything like that. To have a democracy, a peacan of
hope for the world to now be turned into one
of the you know, one of the worst countries, where

(00:52):
the military are in our streets without any regard for
people's constitutional rights, while our president and spending millions of
dollars prompting himself up like a failed dictator with a
military parade. It is really shocking and it should be
a wake up call for all Americans to say, this

(01:14):
is not the country we were born in, This is
not the country we believe in, this is not the
country our founding fathers imagined, and this is not the
country that is supported by our constitution, our ideals, our values,
and we should all collectively be out in the streets
rejecting what is taking place this week.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
That is Congresswoman Omar, that is the virulent anti Semitic
wing of the Democratic Party, and those that are not
a part of it, their silence has been deafening. The
only voice that has been outspoken in support of Israel
has been Pennsylvania Senator Democrat John Fetterman. Here's what he

(02:00):
has said.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Now, you say, show no mercy, and if you have
to take the supreme leader out, do it.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Explain your position now.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Sir, Yeah, yeah, I think they should have targeted him absolutely,
gone taken him out. I think the way Israel operates,
they just take out the leadership, just like they did
with Hesbola, and they've already done that with the Iranian leadership,
just took them out, even laying in their beds, and
they didn't take down the whole building. They actually targeted

(02:27):
where they lay in bed. And now they eliminated the
military ones and the nuclear ones. That's magnificent and the
precision which they've done that, And I don't know why
they would have left the leader out all right.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Joining us now is Roy Katz. He is a journalist,
TV and radio host in Israel. He's been in Tel
Aviv as they have been, you know, witnessing and living
through an onslaught of Iranian ballistic missiles. We became friendly
with Roy when we were in Israel. A couple of

(03:01):
times we broadcast from FM one O two out of
Tel Aviv, and more importantly, they actually facilitated my ability
from the United States who host a separate radio show,
separate and apart from this one, just for the people
in Israel. And Roy has been on the ground from

(03:21):
day one, and he has been pointing out the Iranian
stock exchange has been suspended in Israel. On the other hand,
the stock exchange continues to operate, and the profound differences
between the Israeli economy and that of the Iranian economy
the most amazing thing with Israel controlling the skies over
the entire land mass of Iran. Anyway, Roy, great to

(03:46):
have you back. I wish under better circumstances. Our prayers
are with you and the people of Israel. But this
is a fight that has been a long time coming.
I've been asking people on this radio show. How many
missiles would it take fired into the United States at
any small town or big city by an enemy and
outside adversary before you would expect your military to fiercely

(04:10):
defend your country and win that conflict and win that war. Now,
since the times I've been through Israel, there've been hundreds
of thousands of missiles that have been fired into Israel.
And of course what happened on October seven, so this
has been a long time coming. They have been fomenting
terror hamas Saysbalah, Islamic jihad, the Huti rebels. Then you

(04:33):
have the Syria militia, the Iraqi militia, and now firing
ballistic missiles for the third time themselves. How are things
on the ground.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
Well, first of all, thank you Sean. It is great
to talk with you again. I appreciate you giving me
this platform to share the reality of what's happening in
Tel Aviv and across Israel. You know, Israeli families are
becoming just experts in sprinting to and brown shelters in
their pajamas. It's evening here in Tel Aviv. This is

(05:06):
really our new normal. For the last couple of days,
Israeli kids are you know, they're learning to count sirens.
They mean ninety seconds to shelter. Now, no child should
have that kind of mass homeworks. And you know, civilians
killed by ballistic missiles in their own neighborhoods. And this

(05:27):
is what happens when a terrorist regime targets civilian areas,
you know, instead of military sites. And that's a regime
that openly calls for wiping Israel off the mat while
building nuclear weapons. And that isn't seeking peace. They are

(05:48):
preparing genocide for us. And it's yeah, it's quite scary.
I must admit.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Well, the people of Israel are resilient, thank God. I mean, unfortunately,
Israel has had to build out a bunker system that
has prevented a far greater loss of life. The Israelis
now have taken out two of the three big nuclear
sites inside of Iran. Now there is a debate whether
or not whether or not there'll be a joint operation

(06:18):
between the United States and Israel, and the US would
provide the bunker buster bombs and probably the B fifty
two s to take that last facility out. The President
has been steadfast, he has been unambiguous. He has been
clear that is that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,
and uh so, I at the at the end of

(06:42):
this process, at a minimum, the Iranians won't have a
nuclear weapon. Now at that point, you know, probably the
United States role will be defending their troops in the region,
their interest in the region, helping Israel defend against any
missile attacks, which we've been doing and will continue to do.
But then the then the Israelies are going to have

(07:02):
to make a choice. They could wipe out their entire
electric gas electric grid that's separated apart from their refineries.
The no electric power and no source of income would
absolutely devastate the regime.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
Your thoughts now, Sean, I heard your monologue the other
day saying Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, period, and
that's the end of the sentence. Now, the US has
the bunker busting bombs that can reach Iran's deep underground
nuclear facilities, and if need American firepower to finish this job,

(07:42):
I think, and I want to say one more thing,
I think America's choice is quite simple, because helping Israel
destroy Iran's nuclear program now or facing a nuclear armed
Iran threatening threatening American cities later. Now, every day America
waits to join this fight is another day. I think

(08:04):
Iran is getting closer to putting nuclear warheads on missile
aimed at New York City.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
Now. I know there is a big argument in the States.
I know there is a big argument even in them.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's really, it's really not that big. The poll came
out today by two of our favorite posters. They nailed
the twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, and twenty twenty four election,
and it was overwhelming and it was incontrovertible that the
question was, what is your opinion of President Trump's position

(08:36):
that Iran must be prevented from developing a nuclear weapon
by any means necessary. Seventy four percent to twenty three
percent favor the President taking that side out. The President
clearly by warning Tehran and the citizens that Tehran to
get out, I think is sending a clear message a

(08:56):
lot like Israel. They we care about human life on
life like the Iranians. But it seems imminent to me.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
I'm happy to hear it. I mean, what we see
on media is an argument between you know, both parties
in the States and within the GOP. But I'm happy
to hear your answer. Now, when we are talking politics,
I want to mention one more thing. You know, when
I see Israel's harshest opposition leaders stand with the government

(09:30):
on this war, you know that the threat is real.
You know, politics stops at survival, and our opposition parties
fight the government, fight Natanielle on everything, but except when
it comes to preventing a second Holocaust. Now, left wing
politicians who spent years criticizing Prime Minister Nathaniel are now

(09:52):
saying we support this operation. And that tells you, and
that tells the audience everything about Iran danger. Opposition leaders
are in Israel are telling their supporters we'll resume fighting
Nathaniel after we finish fighting Iran's nuclear program, and that
tells a lot, because you know, in a democracy where

(10:13):
politicians argue about everything, we see here in Israel almost
unanimous support for this operation. And that speaks louder I
think than any intelligence.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Briefingly, all right, quick freak, We'll come back more with
Roy Katz. He's a friend of ours, journalist, TV radio host.
He's in Tel Aviv. He's been in a spending a
lot of his time. Unfortunately, like everybody in Tel Aviv
and bomb shelters will continue to get his first hand
look what's going on on the ground in Tel Aviv.

(10:45):
As we continue eight hundred and nine four one Shawn
as our number. We'll also get to your calls. Coming
up straight ahead the radio show, the long Stream Media
Love Stay.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
This is the Sean Hannity Show.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Hey Sean Hannity here. You know I've been buying precious medals.
Somebody gave me great advice. I'm so grateful every day
that I did, and I've been doing it for decades.
Every paycheck I get, no matter what I put aside
a portion of money to diversify into precious metals now,
especially during uncertain times, remember the two thousand and eight
financial crisis. Who do I choose to make my gold

(11:23):
and silver purchases with? What company do I now use?
Who do I trust? Well, I've been partnering with a
great company for three years. I am a customer. The
company is called gold Co. Gold Co will send you
right now well free twenty twenty five gold and silver
kit to learn more about diversifying with precious metals now.
This kit from gold Co has been a huge help

(11:44):
to me. I think you'll learn a valuable lesson. You'll
also learn about their unlimited bonus silver offer. You're not
gonna want to miss out. All you have to do
is call No Obligation eight five five eight one five gold,
or just go to Hannitigold dot com. That's eight five
to five eight one gold. I'll go to the website
Hannitygold dot com. We continue now. Roy Katz is with us,

(12:10):
a friend of the program. He's a journalist, TV radio host.
He's in Tel Aviv. We continue with Roy Katz. Now,
what is it like when the sirens are going off
and people are rushing down into underground bunkers and you
see the incredible success. The IDEF says they're about ninety

(12:32):
five percent successful in preventing these ballistic missiles that are
more powerful than ever, which I think needs to be
pointed out that they have been building up. I call
it their Plan B, which is to try and overwhelm
the iron dome that Israel has used so successfully over
the years. But yet five percent of those missiles are

(12:54):
hitting some targets. The death toll is much much lower
than it would otherwise be had Israel not been always
preparing for this inevitable moment. Knowing the hostilities that surround it,
but many, many lives have been saved because the Israelis
have rightly prepared for what was obviously becoming an inevitable conflict.

(13:17):
On top of the fact that I think it's one
of the most incredible military operations, going back to the
Pager incident, going back to taking out the top leaders
of Hamas and Hzbalah and Anzrella and then getting deep inside,
penetrating within the territories of Iran with the Masad and

(13:39):
having you know, these these drones take out the scientists
and military leaders and other sites. I mean, it has
been spectacular to watch. I would argue Roy that this
is going to be studied for the next two hundred years.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
Oh, I totally agree with that. And we started at
a very low point and on October seventh they encourasioned
by you know, they slaughter us in beds, rape women
and kill children. A year and nine months later, we
control the air over Tehran. It's significant. It's significant. I

(14:13):
want to share with you. You know, when the Sirence
goes off here two or three times at night, I
admit it's scary. You know. I grabbed my kid, I
grabbed my wife. We have ninety minutes to go into
the bomb shelter. I'm not going to light to you,
Sean is it is scary. But we know, we know

(14:36):
that we are not fighting for territory, we are not
fighting for resources. We are fighting against a regime that
has made our destruction their religious mission. And you know,
the choice for us is quite it's quite simple. You know,

(14:58):
stop the nuclear weapons program now or explain to future generations,
not only in Israel, not only in Israel, why we
let these genicidal terroorists get the A bomb.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Well, they can't and they won't and you know, the
world will. You know, in the eighties, when Israel took
out the Iraqi sites, there was worldwide condemnation. They did,
you did the world the favor when they took out
Syrian sits that got very little fanfare and they flew
below their radar detection systems. It was an incredible military operation.

(15:34):
What is going on here is a necessity. And the
difference now is there's an American president that has the
moral clarity to understand that Iran can never have nuclear
weapons and they won't have nuclear weapons, and that will
prevent the possibility of a modern day holocaust. That is
that is as simple, basic, fundamental common sense as you

(15:56):
can ever expect.

Speaker 7 (15:58):
Roy.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Our prayers with you, prayers with the people of Israel,
the Prime Minister, and godspeed in your mission. This is
going to be The world will be a safer place
as a result of all of this. And although no
mission is without risk, and we pray for everyone's safety.
All right, let us go to our busy, busy telephones,

(16:22):
Mike and tennessee. Mike, how are you glad you called?

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Hey, Sean. It's an honor to get to talk to you.
I've been in public service for over thirty years, and
after nine to eleven we were getting intel. When I
was a firefighter man, we were being told to watch
out for our fire trucks and buses and vehicles like that.
Don't leave mon attended because that's something that could easily

(16:48):
be stolen and used against us. And you talk about
missiles being shot into Israel, and how many would it
take to come against America for us to get upset?
Recently we've had a couple of ships hit bridges on
our coats. How easy were it to be when you
see hundreds of containers on a single ship to hide

(17:09):
a nuclear warhead one of those, and you don't even
need it tied to a missile. So for them to
have any nuclear capabilities, whether they see it's for peace
or whatever it is, it doesn't have to be attached
to a nuclear warhead like it does in Israel. It
would be so much easier because of all the groups
that have been let into our country recently. If they're

(17:29):
sleeper cells, they could be just waiting for the right time.
You bring it over on a ship, you let it
set for a while, or on a train, or on
a plane, or use a rider truck or something like that,
and that would be the easiest way to get to
get back at the US or cause terrorism in the unit.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Here's the problem, They're already here. Yeah, we have a
radian assassination squads already in the country and people saying, well,
we're gonna make them mad and we're going to trigger
a internal response in the country. Was spons is coming anyway?
And you can blame Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Alejandro Mayorcus
and every complicit Democrat that either lied or you know,

(18:11):
remains silent with their open borders policies that allowed anywhere
from twelve to twenty million unvetted illegals from over two
hundred countries into our country, including known terrorists and assassination
squads and murderers, rapists, other violent criminals, and cartel members
and gang members and drug dealers. I don't know what

(18:31):
to say. I've been saying it now forever. It's a
matter of when, not a matter of if. That's going
to happen one way or the other, regardless of what
the US does or doesn't do inside of Iraqi exactly.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
And it's so much easier if you've already got the
sleeper cells here. All you got to do is deliver
the package later on.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Well, they may already have the package. That's the scary
part too, could be, you know. And this is the greatest,
most preventable national security threat in our nation's history. And
we will we will suffer because of their stupidity and
their lying and their ignorance and their open border's madness

(19:11):
for for well over a decade to come. And every
person that is murdered and raped and victim of a
violent crime, any terrorist act on our soil, the blood
is on their hands. They did this, They created this
vulnerability just like they allowed the Iranians to get rich
bye by turning a blind eye towards the sanctions that

(19:33):
Donald Trump had in place that were bankrupting them Europe.
I blame them in large part for allowing Putin to
get rich by by doing billion dollar energy deals with
you know, the murdering dictator thug that he is. And
you know what they all they did was fund their
both countries' war machines and their terror regimes. It's sad

(19:55):
and it was preventable.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Iran has enough natural resources that they can all the
electricity that they need, including oil and all though use
those to create their power. They do not need any
type of a nuclear capability to create power or anything
like that. They already have enough natural resources to go
that route.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
They don't need a civilian nuclear program. They're an energy,
oil rich, gas rich country. They don't need any of it. Yeah,
and that's the end of that. Mike and Tennessee good
call my friend eight hundred and nine four one Sean
our number if you want to be a part of
the program. Billy my free State of Florida. Billy, how

(20:36):
are you glad you called Sean?

Speaker 7 (20:38):
Great? Thank you for taking my call pleasure to talk
to you. A question is kind of a I'm sure
it's been looked at, but so clearly whatever's going on
with the Iranians, maybe not even the population, but the
people that are run in the show over there, they
just want certain groups of people to die. And then
I don't know if they've got a plan for if

(20:59):
they were to acomplished that to take that over.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
But these nuclears, well we know what they say. What
they say, you got to believe them, death to Israel,
death to America. So we know they're number one and
number two targets, don't we Oh?

Speaker 7 (21:11):
Absolutely so. Then if they if they were worked able
to accomplish to thank God, we're going to stop it
making these nuclear weapons and they use them and then
they were they would force retaliation. Where's China and Russia?
And you know so much about this this lifetime you've
spent in these politics and up close being trusted by

(21:34):
all of the people that are making the calls, do
you have any insight on because they're neighbors to those countries,
are the same continent, and they're gonna what's gonna end
up happening? Is Heaven forbid this goes down, the planet's
not going to be inhabitable, and are they get satisfied
with all of the contingency plans to well, we'll just
go ahead and start over with populations. I mean, that's

(21:56):
that's what scares me the most out of it. As
far as the people live in our country. I'm sorry
snuck over here winger door to door started fixing those people.
But the uh these that the property that they bought
up around military installations and power plans and whatnot. But uh,
that concerns me about you know, they're they're gonna wipe
the world out, and have they Are they already considering
we're just gonna go ahead and start over. I don't.

(22:17):
I don't think the Iranians have thought that far, but
I know we haven't forbid. The US has. I'm sure
Russell has in China and probably North Korea has. So
you've got any insight on that, that'd be great, sir.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Let me let me tell you right now. It is
imperative that we get this situation resolved, and we've got
to remove and find as many of these these criminals
in this country. I don't know if we can do
it completely and fully, but we've got to try, and
they're trying their heart out. And you see what the

(22:50):
left is doing. They're they're they're going a bat for
the breako Garcias of the world. In Los Angeles, you
got Karen bass And and Gavin Newsom advocating even though
they're finding murderers and child molesters and other violent criminals
and gang members and drug dealers, and they're mad at
Donald Trump for enforcing the laws of our land. It's insane.

(23:13):
This party has gone off the deep end. Crazy. Anyway,
my friend, I appreciate you being with us. Quick break.
Right back to our busy phones toll free. It is
eight hundred and nine one Shawn. As we continue, Shawn's.

Speaker 7 (23:32):
Got more behind the scenes information.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
More contacts than anybody what more friends, behind the curtains.
Sean Hannity is on on all right, back to our
busy phones, eight hundred nine one, Shawn is on number.
Let's say hi to Monica in Texas. God bless Texas. Monica.

(23:57):
How are you hey, Shawn?

Speaker 8 (23:59):
Thanks for can I call. I have a question and
it is about the oath of office that our senators
and congressmen take. They take an oath to support the
Constitution and protect us against enemies foreign and domestic. But
they are fully behind all of the domestic enemies that

(24:23):
we have that are just causing mayhem in the country.
So I've done some research, but what I can't find
is what the consequences are when they break their oaths?
Do you happen to know that?

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, well, you're saying that the Democrats done. Look, they're
entitled to their opinion. There's a lot of opinions. I
have mostly stayed out of, you know, the the ridiculous
back and forth and the idiotic arguments of the left
and others, because it's just a colossal waste of time
if you don't understand the clear and present danger and

(25:05):
existential threat that Iran poses as the number one state
sponsor of terror, that has been fomenting terror and death,
a culture of death in the region and for the world,
and them on the precipice of a nuclear weapon. I
don't want. I believe in the Trump doctrine, and the
Trump doctrine is Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. And no,

(25:28):
I don't believe in forever wars either. But I've been
telling everybody modern weaponry has changed warfare forever, and I've
been saying future wars now there are. You're gonna need
boots on the ground on some occasions, but not in
this case. We can take out their nuclear sites and
Donald Trump will have accomplished his mission, and then it's

(25:51):
going to be an issue of, you know, finding the
terrorists that Biden, may Orcus and Harris led into the
country that are here, and finding those people that are
sympathetic towards them before they before they attack us, and
protect our troops in the region. I viewed that and
help Israel as this onslaught to destroy them continues, because

(26:12):
it's not easy to you know, shoot all these these
ballistic missiles out of the sky.

Speaker 8 (26:18):
Agreed. I was actually talking about all of the illegal
aliens that they allowed to just come in right our
country without being vetted.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
They've been aiding and embedding in law breaking, and they've
created the most They've created the biggest national security disaster,
preventable national security disaster in the history of the country.
And they light about it for four long years, and
they told you not to believe what your eyes were
showing you. And that's why legacy media is dead, and

(26:49):
that's why the Democratic Party still clings to this like
manna from heaven. It's an eighty five point fifteen issue.
Americans want their borders secured, they want their towns safe
and secure. They want to live free and not have
to worry about any of this. And the government's role
number one roles to protect its citizenry. And under Joe

(27:11):
and Kamala and Majorcus, they have failed spectacularly, and the
Democrats have been complicit. They lied to us along with them,
or they remained silent knowing that the truth was it
was a dangerous situation.

Speaker 8 (27:24):
Well, to me, silence is acceptance of what's happening and
what they're allowing to happen. I just I don't understand
how there is no consequence or penalty for them taking
an oath to protect America and they're completely against America.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
It's unbelievable. It's they, but they are destroying themselves in
the process. And the media that also was complicit in
the lie. They never told the truth about what was
happening at the borders. They're just as guilty. And that's
why Americans ignored them and the lead up to November fifth,
because they threw everything they had and there are all

(28:00):
to destroy Donald Trump. And they were nothing but an
extension of every Democratic you know, sinister plot to ruin
this man, law, fair, and you name it. They've done
everything to smear, slander, call him every name in the book, Hitler, Stala, Masalini,
you know, Nazi, fascist, racist, you know, Oh, he's a convicts,

(28:24):
It doesn't it didn't matter, but nobody listened. That is
what's significant. The American people is sophisticated and smart. They
got it, they understood it, and they saw the failure
and they made the right choice. America made the right choice.
That's why the twenty sixth election. I know it's early,
I know we have other pressing issues. It's imperative because

(28:44):
they'll want to impeach him one hundred more times
