In a fiery address, President Trump announced a complete halt to U.S. subsidies for Colombia, accusing President Gustavo Petro of running an illegal drug empire and allowing narco trafficking to flourish. Trumps remarks on Air Force One framed Colombia as a drug manufacturing machine, calling Petro a lunatic and threatening direct U.S. intervention in coca fields if local authorities fail to act. Sean Hannity discussed the news with guest Derek Maltz, former DEA Special Operations chief, who credited Trumps administration for taking unprecedented steps to dismantle narco terrorist networks linked to Colombia and Venezuela networks Maltz argues kill more Americans than many designated terrorist groups. This matters as the push signals a dramatic shift toward harsher tactics, aiming to disrupt the cartels deadly impact on American families and communities.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right news round up in information overload our auto
(00:02):
free numbers eight hundred and nine point one sean if
you want to be a part of the program, the
President has had it. And by the way, this fifty
three percent drop in the amount of fetanol coming into
the country because of number one secure vords Number two
is the President clearly has taken on Maduro and these
narco terrorists. The President now targeting and accusing Colombia's President
(00:27):
Gustavo Petro being an illegal drug dealer and announcing that
his administration is now cutting off all subsidies to the
South American country. He further trashed his Colombian counterpart is
a very unpopular leader, Warren Petro to close up these
drug fields or else the US will close them up
for him, and it won't be done nicely, he said.
(00:51):
President Gustavo Petro of Colombia is an illegal drug dealer
and strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs in a
big and big and small feels all over Colombia. It
has become the biggest business in Columbia by far, and
Petro does nothing to stop it despite large scale payments
and subsidies from the US. That are nothing more than,
(01:14):
you know, a long term ripoff of America. The US
sent by the way Turner and seven million dollars worth
of foreign aid to Columbia this year. Here's the President
saying that we're dropping all money that we're giving to
Columbia because their president is a lunatic. He set it
on Air Force one.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And in fact, even when they had better presidents than
they have right now, they were that's how they're making
a lot of money from drugs. I used to complain
about it when they had a very nice president, but
he wasn't done.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It was it was all taught.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
They are a drug manufacturing machine Columbia, and we're not
going to be part of it. So we're going to
drop all money that we're giving to them. It has
nothing to do with them stopping drug production.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And you look at the fields.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
The fields are loaded up with drugs and they're refined
the drugs, and they make tremendous amounts of cocaine and
they send it all over the world and they destroy families. No,
Columbia is out of control. And now they have the
worst president they've ever had. He's a lunatic who's got
a lot of problems, mental problems Columbia.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The plumbing president says that US killed the innocent Clumbian
fisherman in one of the strikes.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You said that when we shot down a submarine that
they were just fishing.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
This is a subparate.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So this was a submarine that was meant by the way,
this was a subarte that was meant for one reason
and made for one reason, to carry massive amounts of drugs.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Anyway, joining us now is Derek Maltz Is with US,
former agent in charge of DEA's Special Operations Division, joining
us to discuss the President's efforts to defeat narco terrorism
and the nations that support it and allow it, which
we all know results in the deaths of untold on
numbers of Americans. Anyway, we appreciate you being back, Derek. No,
(02:59):
this this has gone on unabated for a long time.
It only got worse because our borders were wide open,
and while all of the tens of millions god knows
anywhere between twelve and twenty million unvetted Biden Harris may
Orcus illegals came into the country, including cartel members, drug dealers, murderers, rapists,
(03:20):
other violent criminals and known terrorists. What the what the
drug dealers particularly were doing is okay, Well, all of
America's resources were being used to, you know, basically give
people a free past and transportation to whatever state they
wanted to go to. Well, say what you will about
how evil drug dealers are. For ten dollars, they'll kill
(03:43):
somebody and not blink an eye. But on the other hand,
they're not stupid, and they were using the other open
parts of our border to smuggle their drugs in and
do it, you know, unimpeded.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
So Sean like you know, this administration, even during the campaign,
made it real clear they're going to stand up for Americans. First,
they're going to stop all the deaths in this country,
hundreds of thousands of kids, as you reported over several years.
And you know, I work with the families. I was
at the rally in DC this weekend, these poor families,
all these babies. Now they're infants that are dying. So
(04:17):
thank god, this administration is using all tools of national
power to take care of the mission to shut them down.
And the reality is, and the sad part is, when
I was acting Administrator of the DEA, I met with
the new Columbia National Police General, and they were talking
about the record amounts of coca production and cocaine production.
(04:38):
But now what they're doing is they're able to move
this stuff around the world, not just into America, because
parts of Europe and all over like New Zealand and Australia,
they're addicted to cocaine. So they're trying to you know,
make billions of dollars and they're standing stuff around the world.
But the president has stood up strong and Meduro and
that corrupt regime in Venezuela. We've watched that grow sean
(05:01):
for over twenty years, starting with Chavez, and they actually
were very aligned with Hesbola as they were working with
the you know, the low setives cartel and they were
moving billions of dollars in proceeds. So that Venezuela has
been a command and control hunt the global distribution of
dangerous drugs for many years. So it's about time we're
(05:25):
standing up strong and shutting them down.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Well we have to, I mean, you know, and I
know there's going to be opposition to this, as pretty predictably,
it doesn't matter what Trump does. And I'm really not
sure why Americans are not more outrage because you have
all of these young kids that are dying and all
these people that use drugs that are dying. I mean fentanyl.
(05:48):
If you have three grains of salt, you take a
two hundred and fifty pounds man, and that's spent in
all you're dead. It's over. And they're elacing these drugs
make them more powerful. And the people that do it
didn't exactly go to you know, chemistry school at MIT,
or get a degree in chemistry at any school, and
(06:09):
they don't care for fifteen dollars if somebody drops dead
from an overdose.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Right, Sean, in America, people have to look at this
a little differently. Right, Al Qaeda has for and ISIS
are known terrorist organizations. And how many people have they
killed in America? How many citizens combined have they killed?
Not even close to what the cartels have done. So
the American public should have known. In January, when President
(06:35):
Trump came on board, he made it clear he was
going to declare these drug traffic networks terrorists because they're
not just drug traffickers. They have expanded beyond even transnational
criminal organizations. They are terrorists. Like in Venezuela, for example,
people don't realize how it works. But the farc in
eln in Colombia are the ones that are bringing all
(06:57):
the cocaine over the border that's manufactured in Colombia, and
they have free passage right into Venezuela. Then they stoppile
these drugs. They put him in these semi submersibles. Sean.
I was in one of those semi submersibles. I was
fascinated because it was like tight quarters. But they can
they can fit you know, tons of cocaine, for example,
(07:17):
tons of drugs in these semi submersibles. So I was
personally excited when I saw the strike on the semi
submersible because I call that like a mother load. Right,
It's not just a couple of kilos of cocaine's that
could be two, three tons maybe more of cocaine. So
bottom line is like people have to realize that when
these babies are dying in our country, like that four
(07:38):
kid up in New York City, the Dominican boy, one
year old in the daycare center was crawling along the
mats and he touched apparently defended and all, and then
he died. Well, you know this is what's happening all
over I gotta wear a T shirt with dead babies
on my shirt just so people when they say why
are we hitting these boats, Well, why these little babies
(07:59):
dying from poison coming in. And let's not forget, by
the way, that that Meduo exported those TDA monsters all
in our communities around America, those monsters that are now
terised as well. So he took advantage of the wide
open border and the weaknesses store in the last four years,
and President Trump almost instantly shut that down. As you reported,
(08:21):
the border has virtually nobody coming in where they released
what zero the last four months into America the nation Yeah, yeah,
the nationwide encounters are down. So these cartels shrawn, they're
getting a little, you know, uncomfortable. They have to make money.
They're trying to keep up the lifestyles. So now they're
going to just produce more and more, and not just
(08:44):
in Colombia but Bolivia and Peru. It's off the shots,
the production. The transnational criminals are making billions of dollars,
but our citizens are dying. So thank you for this administration.
I love the fact that the Apartment of War is
using all the tour I know right now, Sean, because
I was in the meetings when I was still in
the government. You know, they are working closer together in
(09:07):
his whole government approach. I dreamed of something like that
when I was the head of the Special Operation.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
This this is a real war on narco terrorism. And
my prediction is you're looking at a Maduro that knows
he's on his last legs. In the White House on Friday,
the President was very very clear that Maduro is now saying, well,
I'll do whatever you want. I think probably the best
thing that can happen is he pack his pack you know,
(09:35):
getting an airplane packet and go to Russia, get or
seek refuge or asylum somewhere in the world. Maybe he'll
seek it in Columbia. I have no idea where he's
going to go. But the best thing that can happen
is the woman that won the Nobel Peace Prize that
said that Donald Trump deserved it. Who is the opposition
leader in Venezuela would probably be a good candidate to
(09:56):
maybe take over and run that country. I think it
was I think it was or Hey, Ramos did some
reporting from Venezuela. You know, with all of the natural
resources this country, that country has in terms of oil
and energy, et cetera. They should be they should be
one of these energy rich countries, and they're not because
of all the corruption and you know, people eating out
(10:19):
of garbage trucks and they don't have enough food to
you know, provide for their families. It's a disaster there.
And you know, the days of Maduro seemed to be
ticking away. In the days of this Columbia president also
seemed to be ticking away. Petro doesn't seem I don't know.
I'd say his days sound to be number two.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Yeah, So showing two things for my entire life. Everybody
talks about the war on drugs. To be honest, there
was never a war on drugs. We never used military
weapons to go after drug boats. We needed a war
on drugs to shut them down years ago. We could
have saved so many American lives, but unfortunately the last
four years they were soft on crime. They gave the
(11:00):
bad guys the advantages. But it's just really refreshing as
a career DEA guy. My father was thirty years in
the DEA and to be able to say, yeah, now
we have a war on drug traffics, on terrorists that
are killing our kids. So again it's just very very
different environment now, but we're going to see drastic reductions
(11:20):
of deaths from this poison. But Sean, we do have
to educate the kids. We have to get social media
messaging out there by celebrities and influences.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
We have to have it in school.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Because just shutting down a supply is not going to
stop the Chinese. As they're sending all these isom nitazines, nitaizines,
proto nitazines, meta nitazines, carbent and no xylazine. This stuff
is more powerful. So the chemical attack from China is
still ongoing and they will take every advantage of the
attention that we're pushing into the region of South America
(11:54):
in Venezuela, Columbia. So we have to keep multiple balls
up in the air at once. But the edge case
to the kids is really critical and we have to
be way more aggressive. This is not like Grandpa's Grandpa's
opioid crisis. Even the marijuana now is being made by
the Chinese. That's spring Chinese pesticide. They're actually making THHG.
(12:15):
You're very high in the marijuana. Kids' brains are getting
you know, destroyed. Debates now coming in from China, so
we have a much bigger chemical attack on the country.
But I'm really happy. It's very you know, proud of
the administration's efforts. Right now we're on the right track.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Derek Maltz, we appreciate your former agent in charge of
the DEA Special Operations Division. Thank you, Sarah. Great to
hear from you again. All right, quick break. When we
come back, we'll take a call and calls in our
final a half hour coming up as well. Eight hundred
and nine to four one, Sean. If you want to
be a part of the program, give us a call
and we'll come back on the other side. Straight ahead
(13:00):
to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine one. Shawn
is on number CJ is in North Carolina on the
Sean Hannity Show. What's up, CJ.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
How are you hey, Sean. I appreciate your time, so
I just want to mention you. They had the big
thing over the weekend here from the Democrats, and if
you got out five forty heading what we call east
on five forty, which is a big loop around the
north side of Raleigh, there were eleven fires set right
along the highway. It was just a mess man and
(13:29):
I was pretty you know, when I got on there,
there's only one fire engine all the way down that road.
It was towards the last one near Leesville Road where
they had set fire. You know, they're saying this is
all arson, and I think it's going to be coming
from this President's thing, the or the Kings thing they
set up because where they were actually all gathering at
five forty in Capitol Boulevard, there were huge fires near
(13:51):
the highway. They had to shut five forty down.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
It was so bad. Yeah, look, I mean I warned
everybody last week stay away. I thought it had all
the potential for violence. I think that there was a
lot of preparation, I believe. According to Crowdsource on Fox
News dot com dot com, the CEO of that group
said his organization turned down an offer that he said
(14:15):
would have been more twenty million dollars to recruit for
a nation national rally against Trump and interest aligned with
the organizers of the July seventeenth movement, you know, approached
them as goes back you know, earlier in the year,
and in fact we rejected an offer that was around
worth around twenty million dollars. And anyway, it SAIDs crowds
(14:37):
on demand. A company based in California specializes in that.
There was a lot of astroturfing, but it's neither here
nor there. Democrats took part in it. It is meaningless symbolism.
They have no substance. They have nothing to offer we
the people, and that's why they find themselves in a
position where they're held hostage by the radicals that now
(14:59):
run their party. And if you are a moderate, if
you are, you're keeping your mouth shut out of just
pure political survival instincts and fear, and you're putting your
own personal ambition above what's right. Hi twenty five nots
to the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine

of the program, your calls coming up here. Listen. You

(17:03):
Sean Connery and Michael Douglas's wife. What's Michael Douglas's wife's.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Name, Catherine z Ada Jones.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Catherine Zada Jones. Okay, remember the movie and they were
doing that height scene and they were preparing for this big,
you know, big heist, and it was just awesome, great movie.
And I like that a lot better than say Ocean's
eleven because I can't stand George Cloney. But putting that aside,
so did you see what happened in France this weekend
(17:32):
at the Louver and this targeted heist that took place.
I mean, it was the way they planned this out.
They use a mechanical lift, they breached the museum. They
did all of this in seven minutes. They walked out
with unbelievable history and items that are irreplaceable that we're
(17:54):
in the museum. Eight objects were taken. You know, you
got the staffirs and necklaces and earrings and you know,
I'm not going to go through the whole history of
it all.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
One one professional expert said. The sad part is they
may be melted down or priced out separately, and they'll
punch stones out of the crowns and they'll cut the
stones and they'll market them individually, and you know, to
take their fingerprints off it. But I mean, so they
get this, they get like a truck that pulls up,
(18:26):
it has a ladder, they break it in the window.
They get these, if you will, crowned jewels, if I
may use the term, and they get away on motor scooters.
Did you see that this weekend?
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It's crazy. I thought it was like, oh, like, is
this a Babylon b story? This can't be real. How
much more embarrassing can France get? It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I don't know what was the name of the movie
with Sean Connery. It was So I said it to
you and.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Trapman, Sean Connery and Catherine Zata Jones.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I never remember the names of movies. I just watched them.
I've watched that movie probably three times. She's very good
in that movie. He's great in that movie. And Sean
Connery's great in that movie. He did he was phenomenal.
I know he recently passed away, but he's phenomenal.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
As far as these France like raw, it's like this
is the thing that bothers me. Right, It's like they're
saying that it's an inside job.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It does it bother you? I could care less about
what happens.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Why because it's embarrassing they escaped on motorbikes.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Why you might embarrassed by a robbery in France. I'm more.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
In American cities, police officers of it's embarrassing to Leo's everywhere.
You have to be able to get little tiny men
on motorbikes. You gotta be kidding me. It's embarrassing not
to mention the fact.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Have you ever been to Paris?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Do you know how that you know what the louver
looks like when you come out of well, first of all,
every drives like a complete moron.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I don't know how you.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Pay attention to the geography lesson. We're getting to you know, Yeah,
I have traveled to Europe, and yes, but I don't
go into museums. I think that I walk into museum
and I'm drained of every bit of ounce of energy
I have in me.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
You get absolutely no disagreement for me. I can't stand
if I.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Walk into a mall, I am drained the second I
walk in. I'm like, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
I don't do malls. I don't do museums. I don't
do a lot of shopping.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Here you go now, and no, actually I have a
desire to go. How funny is that? You do want
to see? I want to listen. I'm sorry, but I
think this is hilarious that in this day and age,
that they allowed this to happen, and they allowed it
to happen. You can't, but you can't pass the bucket
blame them. I mean I could see if it happened here,
(20:37):
Democrats would probably blame Donald Trump hit along line.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
I think they're right. It looks like an inside job.
I mean, it does look like an inside job. There's
too many things they got that they had nine targets.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Well, there had to be some kind there had to
be some understanding of when they could do it. They
had seven. Again, we're playing, you know, inspectacleuse oh here,
but well.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
We're Monday morning quarterbacking the moment. But it's seven minutes
eight pieces of priceless jewelry or priceless artifacts or whatever
they took. I don't know if it was all jewelry.
And then it's in broad daylight on a Sunday. I'm like, really,
I mean, obviously somebody had an inside tip.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Let's get to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine
four one, Sean. If you want to be a part
of the program, let's go to the buck Guy State Ohio.
Nick is on the Sean Hannity Show. Nick, Hey, how
are you glad you called? Sir?
Speaker 6 (21:27):
I've been looking at how much money our insurance discussed
since Cincinnati, and it is getting pretty embarrassing and expensive.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
We you know, OHI they I'm gonna have to call
Billy Counter. Sean Hannity are a great American and God
bless you, God bless America. I want a full report
on a scale of one to ten. How good is
that imitation?
Speaker 6 (21:44):
It's not too bad. But he's actually the reason for
the call. You might want to call him up and verified.
A part of this, the court system is letting people
out on no money bail. The recipivism is incredibly bad.
And at the same time, the mayor is not letting
the police department do their job, and the effect. The
(22:07):
end effect is that we have insurance rates going through
the roof. At one in the morning, I was over
near my house and saw a car with a drunk
watter mile and then illegal who launched the entire car
through a brick railing, then through the front brick wall
of this house. And he was up in there about
eighteen feet. I mean, then that's just one.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Because I was talking to Willie I was on his show.
I don't know, maybe two weeks ago, but we were,
we've been We always talk off air, and I was
talking to him. And Hamilton County, for example, do you
live in Hamilton County? Yeah, that's ours, Okay, So it
used to be a very red county. It's not anymore.
And the state of Ohio demographical areas have changed and
(22:52):
shifted dramatically. It's more Democrat now. And so why does
that not surprise me? Oh't you have a Democratic mayor
elected there now? They had new Yeah, well, I mean,
what do you expect? What do you think is about
to happen in New York City?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Our city council is just as bad.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, the city that they're terrible, you know, And I
hate to tell you that oftentimes I mean, obviously, the
federal government has its ultimate role in defending our nation,
but local government makes decisions about your schools, about law
and order and safety and security in your towns. They
put restrictions on cops, they have no bail laws, all
(23:28):
this madness. You know, I would have hoped that Mike
DeWine seems a little bit tired to me, and I
think we need a shot of a vake Ramaswami adrenaline
in Ohio. I think that'll help a lot. I think
Viveke has learned a lot watching Donald Trump. I think
I think he'll duplicate on the state level what Trump's
done nationally. So anyway, my friend, I appreciate it. Hang
(23:51):
in there eight hundred and nine four one shown. If
you want to be a part of the program. Let's
say hi to Todd in Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Todd, how are you hello?
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Sean from the Bluegrass state just below the buck Got
state geographically. Anyways, I'm calling to share a perspective. You know,
they can textualize his president's Trump efforts. I'm a former
military intelligence officer and taught national security strategy on a
graduate level. And actually your previous called the DA mentioned
that a little bit. You talked about the tools of
national power. Well, national leaders, they have three primary tools
(24:25):
or instruments of national power. That's diplomatic, economic, and military.
And the job that President Trump has been doing.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Is phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I mean diplomatic, it's ability to you.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
Know, influence other foreign leaders or you know, respect you
that you can negotiate with them. We've seen none of
that with President Biden. Unfortunately. The economic aspect, you know,
it's if you've got to have a strong economy to
be able to leverage your will to avoid military conflict,
which is you know, the third tool, which obviously we're
using down in Central America because obviously you can't you know,
(24:59):
negotiate with with narco leaders and stuff like that. But
you know, anyone who truly wants peace should be ecstatic
over President Trump's use of diplomatic and economic power, especially
these last nine months, because honestly, I think don't nobody
would disagree that if President Trump wasn't successful in the
Middle East, that the hostage is probably you're not coming home,
(25:21):
and he's just just doing the phenomenal. But we compartmentalize
so much. We see a diplomatic effort or success story,
and we don't realize how that plays in to our
whole national strategic interest because if they're not being leveraged,
if the tools aren't being used, then we have no
national strategy. We're just we're being shaped by the environment
(25:42):
rather than shaping it. So you know President's trump use
of diplomatic and economic and now military tools, as far
as the Narco terrors, it's just it's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And if you just stand back and look. The first
thing President Trump had to do was was secure our
borders and begin the process of removing criminal illegals that
were allowed in under Joe Biden. He did that, check
that box. The next thing he had to do, of
big importance was to set the foundation for significant economic
(26:15):
growth and reverse the disaster of the Biden Harris economy.
Now the foundation's been set, we're not fully seeing or
bearing the fruit yet, because you know, the seed's been planted,
the seed's been watered, it's being nurtured. You have seventeen
trillion in the pipeline of new manufacturing moneys coming online.
You have the largest tax cuts in history. They are
(26:37):
coming online. Remember it took a little while for it
to kick in and the Reagan administration and it will.
And then we ended up doubling revenues to the government
by cutting taxes. Twenty one million new jobs, longest period
of peacetime economic growth. The president has unleashed the potential
for American energy dominance. Again, it needs time will kick in.
(27:00):
We are now seeing the process of his economy. You know,
a lot of very good significant indicators in place. Interest rates.
You know, we had point twenty five basis points reduction.
Next week, we'll see if it's point twenty five. Maybe
we can pray for point five to zero half a
pot half a basis point, all of which, but we
will get a new feedch heare or may that'll accelerate
(27:22):
that portion of the economy. And once interest rates come down,
you know, watch out because that's going to unleash sale
of pre existing homes, new home construction. And you know
when you build these manufacturing centers with the seventeen trillion,
I mean, I don't think we've ever been poised better.
So now he's turned his attention to foreign policy. Now,
are we going to experience hiccups in the Middle East?
(27:45):
We see, you know, yeah, we got the release of
the hostages that in and of itself is a massive
accomplishment because that takes away leverage from Hamas. All right,
but now Hamas is killing his own people or anyone
deemed not to want them the power, perceived as not
wanting them in power. I don't think this Arab coalition
has been quick enough to act. Probably Israel's going to
(28:08):
have to go in and clean it up and finish
the job, is my guess. But that's okay because then
a real rebuilding will begin with the help of neighboring
countries that are now committed to the process. The next
thing is Vladimir Putin. You know, President Trump gave the carrot,
gave the carrot, gave the carrot. Now he's going with
the stick, and that got Putin's attention, especially when he's
(28:32):
now putting tariffs on countries that import Russian oil, the
lifeblood of their economy and the second portion of leverages.
You know, maybe we'll just take the handcuffs off Zelensky.
Zelenski then pounding the refineries, the heart the heartbeat of
Russia's economy, and also now offering Tomahawk missiles. That got
(28:52):
Putin's attention. Now Putin's back at the table. So you know,
the all of these things are big, consequential, transformational and heard.
But you can see that there's a method to his madness.
Also dealing with narco terrorists, now that's the next part. Anyway,
let me get back to our phones. Appreciate it. Let's
see Kansas City Jay on the Sean Hennity Show. What's up, Jay?
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Happy No King Monday.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
You know, Steven A. Smith writes man, I said, Steve
and I, those crowds are meaningless. I said. The Democrats
have all of those people. That's them, that's their base.
I said, here's their problem. The rest of America is
going to watch this, and whether you're a Democrat and
you're more moderate in your thinking, or you're a Republican
(29:42):
and you're watching that, you're thinking, these people are absolutely
that Adam Shift crazy. That's it. I said, win for
Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
I had just had a quick Kansas City observation for you,
and also a concern on what I observed Friday was
this long, long line of Porta Potti's out there. I thought, oh, wow,
that's for the King's rally or something, and then I
found out, no, no, no, that's for the Kings City
Marathon that actually happened the same day. And then it
was like, oh, well that makes sense.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
I guess because it's.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
No king, so they wouldn't have thrones, right, portable thrones.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Uh huh, I get it. Understand, that's their throne. It's
all it is is performative art, waste the time, and
all the Democrats do is reinforce there in saying image
to the American people, I appreciate to call my friend.
That's going to wrap things up to today this terrorist
AMAS terrorists found in Louisiana. We'll check in with speaker
(30:40):
Mike Johnson who is from there. Also the latest on
the Schumer shutdown, No King's rally. Independent journalist Nick Sorter
was there. We'll get a first hand view from him
with video. Oh you know it was on tonight. Linda,
George Santos, and Emily Campanno. Anyway, all coming up, say
you DVR tonight Hannity nine Eastern on Fox. Will see
(31:00):
you then back here tomorrow. Thank you for making the
show possible.
All right news round up in information overload our auto
(00:02):
free numbers eight hundred and nine point one sean if
you want to be a part of the program, the
President has had it. And by the way, this fifty
three percent drop in the amount of fetanol coming into
the country because of number one secure vords Number two
is the President clearly has taken on Maduro and these
narco terrorists. The President now targeting and accusing Colombia's President
(00:27):
Gustavo Petro being an illegal drug dealer and announcing that
his administration is now cutting off all subsidies to the
South American country. He further trashed his Colombian counterpart is
a very unpopular leader, Warren Petro to close up these
drug fields or else the US will close them up
for him, and it won't be done nicely, he said.
(00:51):
President Gustavo Petro of Colombia is an illegal drug dealer
and strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs in a
big and big and small feels all over Colombia. It
has become the biggest business in Columbia by far, and
Petro does nothing to stop it despite large scale payments
and subsidies from the US. That are nothing more than,
(01:14):
you know, a long term ripoff of America. The US
sent by the way Turner and seven million dollars worth
of foreign aid to Columbia this year. Here's the President
saying that we're dropping all money that we're giving to
Columbia because their president is a lunatic. He set it
on Air Force one.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And in fact, even when they had better presidents than
they have right now, they were that's how they're making
a lot of money from drugs. I used to complain
about it when they had a very nice president, but
he wasn't done.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It was it was all taught.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
They are a drug manufacturing machine Columbia, and we're not
going to be part of it. So we're going to
drop all money that we're giving to them. It has
nothing to do with them stopping drug production.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And you look at the fields.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
The fields are loaded up with drugs and they're refined
the drugs, and they make tremendous amounts of cocaine and
they send it all over the world and they destroy families. No,
Columbia is out of control. And now they have the
worst president they've ever had. He's a lunatic who's got
a lot of problems, mental problems Columbia.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The plumbing president says that US killed the innocent Clumbian
fisherman in one of the strikes.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You said that when we shot down a submarine that
they were just fishing.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
This is a subparate.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So this was a submarine that was meant by the way,
this was a subarte that was meant for one reason
and made for one reason, to carry massive amounts of drugs.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Anyway, joining us now is Derek Maltz Is with US,
former agent in charge of DEA's Special Operations Division, joining
us to discuss the President's efforts to defeat narco terrorism
and the nations that support it and allow it, which
we all know results in the deaths of untold on
numbers of Americans. Anyway, we appreciate you being back, Derek. No,
(02:59):
this this has gone on unabated for a long time.
It only got worse because our borders were wide open,
and while all of the tens of millions god knows
anywhere between twelve and twenty million unvetted Biden Harris may
Orcus illegals came into the country, including cartel members, drug dealers, murderers, rapists,
(03:20):
other violent criminals and known terrorists. What the what the
drug dealers particularly were doing is okay, Well, all of
America's resources were being used to, you know, basically give
people a free past and transportation to whatever state they
wanted to go to. Well, say what you will about
how evil drug dealers are. For ten dollars, they'll kill
(03:43):
somebody and not blink an eye. But on the other hand,
they're not stupid, and they were using the other open
parts of our border to smuggle their drugs in and
do it, you know, unimpeded.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
So Sean like you know, this administration, even during the campaign,
made it real clear they're going to stand up for Americans. First,
they're going to stop all the deaths in this country,
hundreds of thousands of kids, as you reported over several years.
And you know, I work with the families. I was
at the rally in DC this weekend, these poor families,
all these babies. Now they're infants that are dying. So
(04:17):
thank god, this administration is using all tools of national
power to take care of the mission to shut them down.
And the reality is, and the sad part is, when
I was acting Administrator of the DEA, I met with
the new Columbia National Police General, and they were talking
about the record amounts of coca production and cocaine production.
(04:38):
But now what they're doing is they're able to move
this stuff around the world, not just into America, because
parts of Europe and all over like New Zealand and Australia,
they're addicted to cocaine. So they're trying to you know,
make billions of dollars and they're standing stuff around the world.
But the president has stood up strong and Meduro and
that corrupt regime in Venezuela. We've watched that grow sean
(05:01):
for over twenty years, starting with Chavez, and they actually
were very aligned with Hesbola as they were working with
the you know, the low setives cartel and they were
moving billions of dollars in proceeds. So that Venezuela has
been a command and control hunt the global distribution of
dangerous drugs for many years. So it's about time we're
(05:25):
standing up strong and shutting them down.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Well we have to, I mean, you know, and I
know there's going to be opposition to this, as pretty predictably,
it doesn't matter what Trump does. And I'm really not
sure why Americans are not more outrage because you have
all of these young kids that are dying and all
these people that use drugs that are dying. I mean fentanyl.
(05:48):
If you have three grains of salt, you take a
two hundred and fifty pounds man, and that's spent in
all you're dead. It's over. And they're elacing these drugs
make them more powerful. And the people that do it
didn't exactly go to you know, chemistry school at MIT,
or get a degree in chemistry at any school, and
(06:09):
they don't care for fifteen dollars if somebody drops dead
from an overdose.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Right, Sean, in America, people have to look at this
a little differently. Right, Al Qaeda has for and ISIS
are known terrorist organizations. And how many people have they
killed in America? How many citizens combined have they killed?
Not even close to what the cartels have done. So
the American public should have known. In January, when President
(06:35):
Trump came on board, he made it clear he was
going to declare these drug traffic networks terrorists because they're
not just drug traffickers. They have expanded beyond even transnational
criminal organizations. They are terrorists. Like in Venezuela, for example,
people don't realize how it works. But the farc in
eln in Colombia are the ones that are bringing all
(06:57):
the cocaine over the border that's manufactured in Colombia, and
they have free passage right into Venezuela. Then they stoppile
these drugs. They put him in these semi submersibles. Sean.
I was in one of those semi submersibles. I was
fascinated because it was like tight quarters. But they can
they can fit you know, tons of cocaine, for example,
(07:17):
tons of drugs in these semi submersibles. So I was
personally excited when I saw the strike on the semi
submersible because I call that like a mother load. Right,
It's not just a couple of kilos of cocaine's that
could be two, three tons maybe more of cocaine. So
bottom line is like people have to realize that when
these babies are dying in our country, like that four
(07:38):
kid up in New York City, the Dominican boy, one
year old in the daycare center was crawling along the
mats and he touched apparently defended and all, and then
he died. Well, you know this is what's happening all
over I gotta wear a T shirt with dead babies
on my shirt just so people when they say why
are we hitting these boats, Well, why these little babies
(07:59):
dying from poison coming in. And let's not forget, by
the way, that that Meduo exported those TDA monsters all
in our communities around America, those monsters that are now
terised as well. So he took advantage of the wide
open border and the weaknesses store in the last four years,
and President Trump almost instantly shut that down. As you reported,
(08:21):
the border has virtually nobody coming in where they released
what zero the last four months into America the nation Yeah, yeah,
the nationwide encounters are down. So these cartels shrawn, they're
getting a little, you know, uncomfortable. They have to make money.
They're trying to keep up the lifestyles. So now they're
going to just produce more and more, and not just
(08:44):
in Colombia but Bolivia and Peru. It's off the shots,
the production. The transnational criminals are making billions of dollars,
but our citizens are dying. So thank you for this administration.
I love the fact that the Apartment of War is
using all the tour I know right now, Sean, because
I was in the meetings when I was still in
the government. You know, they are working closer together in
(09:07):
his whole government approach. I dreamed of something like that
when I was the head of the Special Operation.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
This this is a real war on narco terrorism. And
my prediction is you're looking at a Maduro that knows
he's on his last legs. In the White House on Friday,
the President was very very clear that Maduro is now saying, well,
I'll do whatever you want. I think probably the best
thing that can happen is he pack his pack you know,
(09:35):
getting an airplane packet and go to Russia, get or
seek refuge or asylum somewhere in the world. Maybe he'll
seek it in Columbia. I have no idea where he's
going to go. But the best thing that can happen
is the woman that won the Nobel Peace Prize that
said that Donald Trump deserved it. Who is the opposition
leader in Venezuela would probably be a good candidate to
(09:56):
maybe take over and run that country. I think it
was I think it was or Hey, Ramos did some
reporting from Venezuela. You know, with all of the natural
resources this country, that country has in terms of oil
and energy, et cetera. They should be they should be
one of these energy rich countries, and they're not because
of all the corruption and you know, people eating out
(10:19):
of garbage trucks and they don't have enough food to
you know, provide for their families. It's a disaster there.
And you know, the days of Maduro seemed to be
ticking away. In the days of this Columbia president also
seemed to be ticking away. Petro doesn't seem I don't know.
I'd say his days sound to be number two.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Yeah, So showing two things for my entire life. Everybody
talks about the war on drugs. To be honest, there
was never a war on drugs. We never used military
weapons to go after drug boats. We needed a war
on drugs to shut them down years ago. We could
have saved so many American lives, but unfortunately the last
four years they were soft on crime. They gave the
(11:00):
bad guys the advantages. But it's just really refreshing as
a career DEA guy. My father was thirty years in
the DEA and to be able to say, yeah, now
we have a war on drug traffics, on terrorists that
are killing our kids. So again it's just very very
different environment now, but we're going to see drastic reductions
(11:20):
of deaths from this poison. But Sean, we do have
to educate the kids. We have to get social media
messaging out there by celebrities and influences.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
We have to have it in school.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Because just shutting down a supply is not going to
stop the Chinese. As they're sending all these isom nitazines, nitaizines,
proto nitazines, meta nitazines, carbent and no xylazine. This stuff
is more powerful. So the chemical attack from China is
still ongoing and they will take every advantage of the
attention that we're pushing into the region of South America
(11:54):
in Venezuela, Columbia. So we have to keep multiple balls
up in the air at once. But the edge case
to the kids is really critical and we have to
be way more aggressive. This is not like Grandpa's Grandpa's
opioid crisis. Even the marijuana now is being made by
the Chinese. That's spring Chinese pesticide. They're actually making THHG.
(12:15):
You're very high in the marijuana. Kids' brains are getting
you know, destroyed. Debates now coming in from China, so
we have a much bigger chemical attack on the country.
But I'm really happy. It's very you know, proud of
the administration's efforts. Right now we're on the right track.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Derek Maltz, we appreciate your former agent in charge of
the DEA Special Operations Division. Thank you, Sarah. Great to
hear from you again. All right, quick break. When we
come back, we'll take a call and calls in our
final a half hour coming up as well. Eight hundred
and nine to four one, Sean. If you want to
be a part of the program, give us a call
and we'll come back on the other side. Straight ahead
(13:00):
to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine one. Shawn
is on number CJ is in North Carolina on the
Sean Hannity Show. What's up, CJ.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
How are you hey, Sean. I appreciate your time, so
I just want to mention you. They had the big
thing over the weekend here from the Democrats, and if
you got out five forty heading what we call east
on five forty, which is a big loop around the
north side of Raleigh, there were eleven fires set right
along the highway. It was just a mess man and
(13:29):
I was pretty you know, when I got on there,
there's only one fire engine all the way down that road.
It was towards the last one near Leesville Road where
they had set fire. You know, they're saying this is
all arson, and I think it's going to be coming
from this President's thing, the or the Kings thing they
set up because where they were actually all gathering at
five forty in Capitol Boulevard, there were huge fires near
(13:51):
the highway. They had to shut five forty down.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
It was so bad. Yeah, look, I mean I warned
everybody last week stay away. I thought it had all
the potential for violence. I think that there was a
lot of preparation, I believe. According to Crowdsource on Fox
News dot com dot com, the CEO of that group
said his organization turned down an offer that he said
(14:15):
would have been more twenty million dollars to recruit for
a nation national rally against Trump and interest aligned with
the organizers of the July seventeenth movement, you know, approached
them as goes back you know, earlier in the year,
and in fact we rejected an offer that was around
worth around twenty million dollars. And anyway, it SAIDs crowds
(14:37):
on demand. A company based in California specializes in that.
There was a lot of astroturfing, but it's neither here
nor there. Democrats took part in it. It is meaningless symbolism.
They have no substance. They have nothing to offer we
the people, and that's why they find themselves in a
position where they're held hostage by the radicals that now
(14:59):
run their party. And if you are a moderate, if
you are, you're keeping your mouth shut out of just
pure political survival instincts and fear, and you're putting your
own personal ambition above what's right. Hi twenty five nots
to the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine
point one. Sean, if you want to be a part
of the program, your calls coming up here. Listen. You
(15:19):
may feel safe, But a crime in America, unfortunately, especially
in big blue cities, but even in small towns around
the country is on the rise. Island crime under Biden
Harris went up over thirty percent. You've got to take
control of your personal safety security. You've got to protect
your family. There are people that yes, will want to

(17:03):
Sean Connery and Michael Douglas's wife. What's Michael Douglas's wife's.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Name, Catherine z Ada Jones.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Catherine Zada Jones. Okay, remember the movie and they were
doing that height scene and they were preparing for this big,
you know, big heist, and it was just awesome, great movie.
And I like that a lot better than say Ocean's
eleven because I can't stand George Cloney. But putting that aside,
so did you see what happened in France this weekend
(17:32):
at the Louver and this targeted heist that took place.
I mean, it was the way they planned this out.
They use a mechanical lift, they breached the museum. They
did all of this in seven minutes. They walked out
with unbelievable history and items that are irreplaceable that we're
(17:54):
in the museum. Eight objects were taken. You know, you
got the staffirs and necklaces and earrings and you know,
I'm not going to go through the whole history of
it all.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
One one professional expert said. The sad part is they
may be melted down or priced out separately, and they'll
punch stones out of the crowns and they'll cut the
stones and they'll market them individually, and you know, to
take their fingerprints off it. But I mean, so they
get this, they get like a truck that pulls up,
(18:26):
it has a ladder, they break it in the window.
They get these, if you will, crowned jewels, if I
may use the term, and they get away on motor scooters.
Did you see that this weekend?
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It's crazy. I thought it was like, oh, like, is
this a Babylon b story? This can't be real. How
much more embarrassing can France get? It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I don't know what was the name of the movie
with Sean Connery. It was So I said it to
you and.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Trapman, Sean Connery and Catherine Zata Jones.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I never remember the names of movies. I just watched them.
I've watched that movie probably three times. She's very good
in that movie. He's great in that movie. And Sean
Connery's great in that movie. He did he was phenomenal.
I know he recently passed away, but he's phenomenal.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
As far as these France like raw, it's like this
is the thing that bothers me. Right, It's like they're
saying that it's an inside job.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It does it bother you? I could care less about
what happens.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Why because it's embarrassing they escaped on motorbikes.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Why you might embarrassed by a robbery in France. I'm more.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
In American cities, police officers of it's embarrassing to Leo's everywhere.
You have to be able to get little tiny men
on motorbikes. You gotta be kidding me. It's embarrassing not
to mention the fact.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Have you ever been to Paris?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Do you know how that you know what the louver
looks like when you come out of well, first of all,
every drives like a complete moron.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I don't know how you.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Pay attention to the geography lesson. We're getting to you know, Yeah,
I have traveled to Europe, and yes, but I don't
go into museums. I think that I walk into museum
and I'm drained of every bit of ounce of energy
I have in me.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
You get absolutely no disagreement for me. I can't stand
if I.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Walk into a mall, I am drained the second I
walk in. I'm like, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
I don't do malls. I don't do museums. I don't
do a lot of shopping.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Here you go now, and no, actually I have a
desire to go. How funny is that? You do want
to see? I want to listen. I'm sorry, but I
think this is hilarious that in this day and age,
that they allowed this to happen, and they allowed it
to happen. You can't, but you can't pass the bucket
blame them. I mean I could see if it happened here,
(20:37):
Democrats would probably blame Donald Trump hit along line.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
I think they're right. It looks like an inside job.
I mean, it does look like an inside job. There's
too many things they got that they had nine targets.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Well, there had to be some kind there had to
be some understanding of when they could do it. They
had seven. Again, we're playing, you know, inspectacleuse oh here,
but well.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
We're Monday morning quarterbacking the moment. But it's seven minutes
eight pieces of priceless jewelry or priceless artifacts or whatever
they took. I don't know if it was all jewelry.
And then it's in broad daylight on a Sunday. I'm like, really,
I mean, obviously somebody had an inside tip.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Let's get to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine
four one, Sean. If you want to be a part
of the program, let's go to the buck Guy State Ohio.
Nick is on the Sean Hannity Show. Nick, Hey, how
are you glad you called? Sir?
Speaker 6 (21:27):
I've been looking at how much money our insurance discussed
since Cincinnati, and it is getting pretty embarrassing and expensive.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
We you know, OHI they I'm gonna have to call
Billy Counter. Sean Hannity are a great American and God
bless you, God bless America. I want a full report
on a scale of one to ten. How good is
that imitation?
Speaker 6 (21:44):
It's not too bad. But he's actually the reason for
the call. You might want to call him up and verified.
A part of this, the court system is letting people
out on no money bail. The recipivism is incredibly bad.
And at the same time, the mayor is not letting
the police department do their job, and the effect. The
(22:07):
end effect is that we have insurance rates going through
the roof. At one in the morning, I was over
near my house and saw a car with a drunk
watter mile and then illegal who launched the entire car
through a brick railing, then through the front brick wall
of this house. And he was up in there about
eighteen feet. I mean, then that's just one.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Because I was talking to Willie I was on his show.
I don't know, maybe two weeks ago, but we were,
we've been We always talk off air, and I was
talking to him. And Hamilton County, for example, do you
live in Hamilton County? Yeah, that's ours, Okay, So it
used to be a very red county. It's not anymore.
And the state of Ohio demographical areas have changed and
(22:52):
shifted dramatically. It's more Democrat now. And so why does
that not surprise me? Oh't you have a Democratic mayor
elected there now? They had new Yeah, well, I mean,
what do you expect? What do you think is about
to happen in New York City?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Our city council is just as bad.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, the city that they're terrible, you know, And I
hate to tell you that oftentimes I mean, obviously, the
federal government has its ultimate role in defending our nation,
but local government makes decisions about your schools, about law
and order and safety and security in your towns. They
put restrictions on cops, they have no bail laws, all
(23:28):
this madness. You know, I would have hoped that Mike
DeWine seems a little bit tired to me, and I
think we need a shot of a vake Ramaswami adrenaline
in Ohio. I think that'll help a lot. I think
Viveke has learned a lot watching Donald Trump. I think
I think he'll duplicate on the state level what Trump's
done nationally. So anyway, my friend, I appreciate it. Hang
(23:51):
in there eight hundred and nine four one shown. If
you want to be a part of the program. Let's
say hi to Todd in Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Todd, how are you hello?
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Sean from the Bluegrass state just below the buck Got
state geographically. Anyways, I'm calling to share a perspective. You know,
they can textualize his president's Trump efforts. I'm a former
military intelligence officer and taught national security strategy on a
graduate level. And actually your previous called the DA mentioned
that a little bit. You talked about the tools of
national power. Well, national leaders, they have three primary tools
(24:25):
or instruments of national power. That's diplomatic, economic, and military.
And the job that President Trump has been doing.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Is phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I mean diplomatic, it's ability to you.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
Know, influence other foreign leaders or you know, respect you
that you can negotiate with them. We've seen none of
that with President Biden. Unfortunately. The economic aspect, you know,
it's if you've got to have a strong economy to
be able to leverage your will to avoid military conflict,
which is you know, the third tool, which obviously we're
using down in Central America because obviously you can't you know,
(24:59):
negotiate with with narco leaders and stuff like that. But
you know, anyone who truly wants peace should be ecstatic
over President Trump's use of diplomatic and economic power, especially
these last nine months, because honestly, I think don't nobody
would disagree that if President Trump wasn't successful in the
Middle East, that the hostage is probably you're not coming home,
(25:21):
and he's just just doing the phenomenal. But we compartmentalize
so much. We see a diplomatic effort or success story,
and we don't realize how that plays in to our
whole national strategic interest because if they're not being leveraged,
if the tools aren't being used, then we have no
national strategy. We're just we're being shaped by the environment
(25:42):
rather than shaping it. So you know President's trump use
of diplomatic and economic and now military tools, as far
as the Narco terrors, it's just it's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And if you just stand back and look. The first
thing President Trump had to do was was secure our
borders and begin the process of removing criminal illegals that
were allowed in under Joe Biden. He did that, check
that box. The next thing he had to do, of
big importance was to set the foundation for significant economic
(26:15):
growth and reverse the disaster of the Biden Harris economy.
Now the foundation's been set, we're not fully seeing or
bearing the fruit yet, because you know, the seed's been planted,
the seed's been watered, it's being nurtured. You have seventeen
trillion in the pipeline of new manufacturing moneys coming online.
You have the largest tax cuts in history. They are
(26:37):
coming online. Remember it took a little while for it
to kick in and the Reagan administration and it will.
And then we ended up doubling revenues to the government
by cutting taxes. Twenty one million new jobs, longest period
of peacetime economic growth. The president has unleashed the potential
for American energy dominance. Again, it needs time will kick in.
(27:00):
We are now seeing the process of his economy. You know,
a lot of very good significant indicators in place. Interest rates.
You know, we had point twenty five basis points reduction.
Next week, we'll see if it's point twenty five. Maybe
we can pray for point five to zero half a
pot half a basis point, all of which, but we
will get a new feedch heare or may that'll accelerate
(27:22):
that portion of the economy. And once interest rates come down,
you know, watch out because that's going to unleash sale
of pre existing homes, new home construction. And you know
when you build these manufacturing centers with the seventeen trillion,
I mean, I don't think we've ever been poised better.
So now he's turned his attention to foreign policy. Now,
are we going to experience hiccups in the Middle East?
(27:45):
We see, you know, yeah, we got the release of
the hostages that in and of itself is a massive
accomplishment because that takes away leverage from Hamas. All right,
but now Hamas is killing his own people or anyone
deemed not to want them the power, perceived as not
wanting them in power. I don't think this Arab coalition
has been quick enough to act. Probably Israel's going to
(28:08):
have to go in and clean it up and finish
the job, is my guess. But that's okay because then
a real rebuilding will begin with the help of neighboring
countries that are now committed to the process. The next
thing is Vladimir Putin. You know, President Trump gave the carrot,
gave the carrot, gave the carrot. Now he's going with
the stick, and that got Putin's attention, especially when he's
(28:32):
now putting tariffs on countries that import Russian oil, the
lifeblood of their economy and the second portion of leverages.
You know, maybe we'll just take the handcuffs off Zelensky.
Zelenski then pounding the refineries, the heart the heartbeat of
Russia's economy, and also now offering Tomahawk missiles. That got
(28:52):
Putin's attention. Now Putin's back at the table. So you know,
the all of these things are big, consequential, transformational and heard.
But you can see that there's a method to his madness.
Also dealing with narco terrorists, now that's the next part. Anyway,
let me get back to our phones. Appreciate it. Let's
see Kansas City Jay on the Sean Hennity Show. What's up, Jay?
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Happy No King Monday.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
You know, Steven A. Smith writes man, I said, Steve
and I, those crowds are meaningless. I said. The Democrats
have all of those people. That's them, that's their base.
I said, here's their problem. The rest of America is
going to watch this, and whether you're a Democrat and
you're more moderate in your thinking, or you're a Republican
(29:42):
and you're watching that, you're thinking, these people are absolutely
that Adam Shift crazy. That's it. I said, win for
Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
I had just had a quick Kansas City observation for you,
and also a concern on what I observed Friday was
this long, long line of Porta Potti's out there. I thought, oh, wow,
that's for the King's rally or something, and then I
found out, no, no, no, that's for the Kings City
Marathon that actually happened the same day. And then it
was like, oh, well that makes sense.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
I guess because it's.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
No king, so they wouldn't have thrones, right, portable thrones.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Uh huh, I get it. Understand, that's their throne. It's
all it is is performative art, waste the time, and
all the Democrats do is reinforce there in saying image
to the American people, I appreciate to call my friend.
That's going to wrap things up to today this terrorist
AMAS terrorists found in Louisiana. We'll check in with speaker
(30:40):
Mike Johnson who is from there. Also the latest on
the Schumer shutdown, No King's rally. Independent journalist Nick Sorter
was there. We'll get a first hand view from him
with video. Oh you know it was on tonight. Linda,
George Santos, and Emily Campanno. Anyway, all coming up, say
you DVR tonight Hannity nine Eastern on Fox. Will see
(31:00):
you then back here tomorrow. Thank you for making the
show possible.
