Speaker 1 (00:01):
I thank you, Scott Shannon. Hour two Sean Hannity Show,
eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn or number if
you want to be a part of this program. We're
awaiting a announcement from the President. We expect he will
rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War,
as we have been telling you. Also, this just basically

(00:22):
crossing the wire. At the bottom of this half hour.
This could get very, very interesting. It has been announced
that Eric Adams will make an important campaign announcement. What
mayor Adams will make an important announcement regarding the future
of his campaign. Let me interpret for you. Sounds to

(00:43):
me like he's getting out. That's what it sounds like
to me. Now, there's been a lot about this, I
mentioned earlier in the program. If you look at the
front cover of the New York Post today, it's very
clear that Donald Trump certainly has has weighed in on
the issue, and actually is It's kind of a rip

(01:04):
off an old New York Post cover that said forward
to New York City, drop dead, New York City wanted
to be financially bailed out. Trump to City drop out
tells GOP donor he's talking about businessman John custom Attitis.
He owns a huge grocery chain all throughout New York City.

(01:27):
It's a billionaire. Anyway, that he apparently Trump told cast
the Attitis and the Post got word from him that
Trump called him and told him to help Winnow the field.
Winnow the field to one candidate that can beat Marxist
Kami Mumdani. And I think he thinks that one person

(01:48):
would be Andrew Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo seems to have gotten
a ceiling in the polls. There have been polls that
have been broken out. If the Eric Adams were to
get out of here. Eric Adams been in single digits.
I mean, the three candidates that have been getting you know,
in order, it's been Mom, Donnie Cuomo, and Curtis Slee

(02:09):
has been coming up, you know, pretty dramatically. Slee wa
quoted in Today's New York Posts, is saying he won't leave.
And he said the same to Charlie Gasparino, who confirmed
that in his column in the New York Post as
well today. But anyway, we'll find out what Adam's announcement is.
My guess is he's getting out. Andrew Cuomo clearly is

(02:31):
not he was, according to The New York Post, huddling
earlier this morning with the Reverend Al Sharpton and anyway,
Cuomo requested the Regency Hotel breakfast sit down ask Sharpton
to have an open mind if the raids get race
gets winnowed down to a one on one matchup between
the ex governor and Socialist Democratic mayoral nominee. I'll be

(02:54):
the first to tell you it would be in New
York City's much better interest to have Sleewa first first,
Andrew Cuomo's second, not Mam Damie. But you know, we'll
see what happens anyway. I'm very impressed with Mamdani, but
I've known Andrew for forty years. Sounds like like Reverend

(03:15):
Al might be open to endorsing the former governor, But
we'll see what happens anyway. We do have another story
that I think is a bombshell report new memos that
have been discovered by just thenews dot com our friend
John Solomon, founder editor in chief and chief investigative reporter,
and the headline is biden aides believed that he should

(03:37):
sign pardons by hand. He outsourced the approval to Vice
President at the time, Kamala Harris. Now, this is on
the heels of John Solomon's breaking news report that well, first,
The New York Times had reported that he only set
up criteria and standards for pardons and commutations, not actually

(04:00):
signing off specifically on each one, which questions the validity
of all of this, and then in a previous report,
John Solomon pointing out that there's more evidence that he
knew absolutely nothing about it. He joins us, Now, sir,
how are you.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm doing well.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
If you were in New York City, I'm guessing you'd
vote for Cammi Mom, Donnie. I'm just guessing.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
You know, Ever since I became a reporter, I've never
voted because I've made the decision that voted an ultimate
expression of opinion. So I won't vote until I hang
up my spurs as a journalist. But I know a
lot of people in New York are worried about what
this outcome of this race will be. And I think
we have to trust the good people of New York
will make the right decision after they have all the facts.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I don't trust the people in New York City to
make the right decision. I lived in New York for
whatever reason, every single poll shows that mom Donnie has
legs and that he's doing better now. Difference between voting
in a general election and a primary. I'm sure that
that's right. Big business in New York is going to

(05:06):
probably dumb billions of dollars in the hopes of supporting
if they can make this a one on one race
or a three person race. They're hoping that they can
get anybody but Mumdani. But I don't know. He's getting
money from all over the country. Every radical, extreme socialist
in America is all on board for Kami. Mumdani.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, listen. I think what you see here is that
this liberal urban base that the far left part of
the Democratic Party now is owned by. They're anti capitalists,
they're anti American, they're anti Semitic often, and they are
anti capitalism. There's just not any doubt about it. Now.
It's a small segment of America. It's centralized in these

(05:46):
big blue cities favored by liberals. And this is going
to be this shining moment where America is going to
look and say, what New York did. Let's suppose they
do electa Mandami. What New York did do we really
want that to be the face of capitalism of the
greatest city in America. And I think it's going to
be a big debate in one of the things Democrats
have to be worried about, and by the way, they

(06:06):
are worried about the people I'm talking with on the
Democratic Party side, that Mam Donnie becomes a boomerang that
really hurts the Democratic Party in the twenty twenty six
elections because he'll be doing things that Democrats in modern
districts that will the side control of Congress aren't going
to be happy about.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Listen, it's in America's best interest, in New York's best interests,
especially New York City's best interest, not to have this
guy elected, is no doubt about it. But if you're
asking me politically, who benefits the most Republicans because he
will be the face of the radicalized Democratic Party. I
don't know if you notice the AOC, and I know
we're a little off topic here. We'll get to your

(06:46):
report in a second. But AOC taking on Schumer and
Hakim Jeffries, calling them out for not supporting Mom Donnie.
I think that maybe the first salvo in an attempt
to unsee Chucky Schumer. If there is a primary between
AOC and Chuck, I'd take AOC in that bed every day.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, no, I think that's right. There are Listen whether
you agree with the mindset of these new young liberal
candidates like a AOC or Mundani or others that are
coming up squad. They are dynamic characters. They're smart, they're magnetic,
they have lots of energy and charism.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
And what has to be done is you have to look.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
If you're a Republican or you're someone who curious about
the country, you have to look beyond that charism. You
have to get voters to look and say, don't be
distracted by their stardom, look at what they're talking about doing.
And I think that that's going to be a really
big challenge for Republicans in twenty six and twenty eight
because this young base of the party has a lot
of dynamic characters who, on the face of it, are

(07:50):
lovable when you first hear them talking, like, oh, that's
an impressive person. But then when you start to study
what it is they want to do to America, that
is the point where most Americans go, well, wait a second,
we do over and I think that it's going to
be a great opportunity for the Republican Party to get
beyond the personality of some of these players and drill
down to some of the anti American, anti capitalist concepts

(08:13):
that these Democrats are now espousing.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Let's get to your bombshell report. Biden aides believed he
should have he should sign pardons by hand. He outsourced
the approval to the VP on the heels of your
previous report that two days before he left office, the
second in charge of the DOJ warned him that he
had to individually sign off on everything, and we believe

(08:37):
that didn't happen, which means that all these pardons and
commutations may not be valid.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, that's I believe what is going to be the
substance of a Trump White House Council Office report that
is likely to be transmitted to the Justice Department soon,
saying that based on the review of documents that are
at the National Archives, there are real questions about the
legality of some of the or the enforcement of some
of the commutations in clemency that Joe Biden issued at

(09:05):
the end of his presidency. Now, what we do know
for sure, no matter where the Justice Department comes down
on this in the future. At the beginning of Joe
Biden's president his staff secretary wrote a memo saying, it
is our belief that legally President Biden must affix his
own personal, handwritten signature on things that are clemency letters,

(09:26):
basically pardon letters. That's set the standard. There wasn't any
doubt in the Biden White House what the standard should be.
Four years later, as Joe Biden is mumbling and bubbling
his way through the end of his presidency, not having
cabinet meetings anymore, really disengaged in many ways, you see
a very different practice in the Biden White House. And

(09:46):
these are Biden Aid's own memos preserved at the National Archives.
They say, hey, Joe Biden told Kama Airis, you make
the decisions for me. Now. If that turns out to
be true, if those memos are an accurate representation of
what happened, Vice President Kamala Harris does not have the
commutation power under the Constitution, nor is the commutation part

(10:08):
of power transferable that Joe Biden can't give it to
someone else, only he can do it. So under the
standards set for him, he needed to personally sign it.
A lot of them are signed with an auto pen,
and under the standards of the Constitution, he couldn't outsource
it to someone. There looks to be some very serious issues,
and I think these new documents, I wouldn't be surprised
if you've seen James Comer in Congress very soon subpoena

(10:32):
Kamala Harrison demand to know did Joe Biden outsource pardon
decisions too? This could become a really big deal this fall.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
I think it's going to be a massive deal. Great
reporting as always just thenews dot com founder editor and
chief chief investigative reporter. We'll have more on this tonight.
John will be joining us on Hannity nine Eastern on
the Fox News Channel. John, thank you for stations along
the Sean Hannity Show radio network. We are likely going
to go through the next break and continue coverage. The

(11:03):
President now in the Oval Office about to announce that
the Department of Defense is being renamed to the Department
of War. Let's go to the Oval Office.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Well, it's difficult for Americans to buy home, particularly after
the last four years, sir, but with the President's signature today,
we're going to make it easy for people to buy
a home without getting hassled. For years, their private personal
information has been bought and sold in the open market,
resulting in them getting innumerable.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Phone calls and text messages.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
But with your signature today, we're going to put an
end to that so that when Americans try to realize
the American dream of owning a home, they're able to
do so without being harassed.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Good job, good it's a great honor, John.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
Okay, there it is, and that's going to help a
lot of the homeowners of our great country. Okay, I
want to hold it. Sure, Thank you John very much,
Thank you very much, Thank you very much. Okay, will

(12:19):
you go ahead, and I'd like to leave you with this.
Gil could stick to it back in ten Say, oh,
I could use that at night.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's an American plant. That's very nice.

Speaker 7 (12:28):
I like.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Thank yous uch very much. That's very nice.

Speaker 8 (12:32):
Next, we have a number of executive orders for your attention, sir.
From seventeen eighty nine until nineteen forty seven, our nation
won some of its greatest military victories under the direction
of a Secretary of War operating within a Department of War. Today,
with this executive order, you will authorize the current Secretary
of Defense and the current Department of Defense to once

(12:55):
again to once again embrace this great lineage and once
again be named the Secretary of War and the Department
of War.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
So this is something we thought long and hard about.
We've been talking about it for months. Pete and I
and Dan came into the fall, by the way, a
great general. He headed up the I wouldn't call it
an attack, almost called that one maybe even more than
an attack, what he did with the RAND. You saw

(13:25):
the success of that operation.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
It was perfect. In fact, we have this was said
to me by the.

Speaker 6 (13:31):
Great company that makes that particular be two bomber.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
And it was flawless. It was actually flawless. They flew
for thirty seven hours back and forth, and there wasn't a.

Speaker 6 (13:41):
Bolt that was at a condition, There wasn't an engine failure,
there was no problem. It was a perfect attack and
had knocked out any possible nuclear capability for a ran,
which nobody wanted to see and we weren't going to
put up with.

Speaker 9 (13:57):
So.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
Great job, Dan, and we've been talking about this Department
of War. So we won the First World War, we
won the Second World War, we won everything before that
and in between, and then we decided to go woken
we change the name to Department of Defense. So we're
going Department of War, and I'd like to ask our Secretary.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Of War to say a few words.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
Pete Heck said, I think it's a much more appropriate name,
especially in light of where the world is right now.
We have the strongest military in the world. We have
the greatest equipment in the world. We have the greatest
manufacturers of equipment. By far, there's nobody to even compete.
And you see that with this and so many other things,
the patriots are the best. Every element of the military

(14:43):
we make the best by far. So Peter, I'd like
to ask you and maybe Dan Dan raising Kine to
say a few words, please.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Miss President, thank you.

Speaker 10 (14:53):
After winning a war for independence in seventeen eighty nine,
George Washington established the War Department and Henry Knox was
his first Secretary of War, and this country won every
major war after that, to include World War One and
World War Two total victory, mister President, as you said,
then one hundred and fifty years after that, we changed

(15:15):
the name after World War Two from the Department of
War to the Department of Defense.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
In nineteen forty seven, and as you point it out,
mister President, we haven't won a major war since. And
that's not to.

Speaker 10 (15:25):
Disparage our warfighters, whether it's the Korean War, the Vietnam War,
or our generation of Iraq and Afghanistan. That's to recognize
that this name change is not just about renaming.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
It's about restoring words matter.

Speaker 10 (15:40):
It's restoring as you've guided us to, mister President, restoring
the warrior ethos, restoring victory and clarity as an end state,
restoring intentionality to the use of force. So that your direction,
mister President, the War Department is going to fight decisively,
not endless conflicts. It's going to fight to win, not

(16:02):
not to lose. We're going to go on offense, not
just on defense. Maximum lethality, not tepid legality, violent effect,
not politically correct.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
We're going to raise up warriors, not just defenders.

Speaker 10 (16:18):
So this War Department, mister President, just like America, is back.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Thank you for your leadership and your clarity.

Speaker 10 (16:24):
We're going to set the tone for this country, America first,
peace through strength, brought to you by the War Department.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
We're back. Thank you.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
I'm sure very well stated and really it has to
do with the winning. We should have won every one.
We could have won every war, but we we really
chose to be very politically correct or woki and we
just fight forever and then we you know, we win
to lose. We just fight sort of tie. We never

(16:56):
wanted to win wars that every one of them. We
would have won easily with just a couple of little
changes or a couple of little enochs.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
You know.

Speaker 6 (17:05):
I was told that Isis would take five years to win.
And Dan Caine, when I told him how long would
it take, he said, I think about four weeks or
I said, what do you mean four weeks? I was
told five years by the people in Washington, you know
who they were five years.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
I said, you can't do it in four weeks.

Speaker 6 (17:22):
I actually flew to Iraq to meet with him, and
I met him at a big air base.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
And remember that famous day.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
It turned out to be a famous day for our
country because you're now the joint head of the Joint
chiefs of Staff, which is the biggest deal. And he
is because he did things that everybody said couldn't do.
So they said it was going to be five years,
and he knocked him out in about four weeks total.
We took over and Isis was gone and pretty amazing,

(17:53):
but we never fought to win, and now we if
we have to fight it at all.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
You know, we saw seven wars.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
The one that I thought it was going to be
probably one of the easier ones, and that's with President
Putin and Ukraine, and that turned out to be one
that's a little bit more difficult.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
But the seven are done. They were supposed to be
much more difficult to solve. I solved every.

Speaker 6 (18:14):
One of them, and we're going to get the other
one done too. But it turned out to be a
little bit more difficult than I thought, and it'll get
done or they'll be held to pay. But because they're
losing six to seven, we used to be five. I
used to tell you five. Now it's almost seven. I
guess seven thousand people last week, seven thousand, eight hundred

(18:34):
and thirteen people young soldiers died, Russian and Ukrainian, not
American sold But it's a shame and it's just, you know,
the human lives, and I want to see it stop.
But General Kaine's done a fantastic job and again defeated Isis,
which they said would take long time, and it didn't
take a long time at all, and did other things

(18:56):
that people said really couldn't happen. We have the greatest
equipment in the world. We have the greatest soldiers in
the world.

Speaker 11 (19:03):
Dan say if you words, yes, sir, thank you, Thank you,
mister President. It's a true honor for me today to
represent the incredible men and women of America's Joint Force.
Today and every day, the two point eight million service
men and women stand ready to fulfill our sacred duty

(19:24):
to protect America at home and abroad. As the President said,
America's military is the single most powerful fighting force in
the world. The mission you and the Secretary have given
us is clear and unambiguous, to deliver peace through overwhelming strength.
And I remind everyone that the US military can reach

(19:46):
any adversary at the time and place of our choosing.
Service to this nation is an incredible gift and more
grateful and honored every day to do so.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Thank you, mister President. Well, thank you. It's an honor
to sign this and we will do that right now.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
All right, the President announcing the Department of Defense now
going back to its original name up until what nineteen
forty seven, I believe they said the Department of War
and everything in between. We're going to continue with the president,
and he's now taking questions. We are also awaiting a
press conference and a campaign announcement from New York City

(20:33):
Mayor Eric Adams. I have to imagine he's thinking about
getting out of the race. We'll cover that as well.
For stations along the Sean Hannity Show radio network, we
will continue our coverage through the bottom of the hour break.
Some of you along our station network may be taking breaks,
we will continue our coverage.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's a big one.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
It's a big one of stress.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Do you have any questions on this subject.

Speaker 6 (21:04):
We're going to be discussing the G twenty in a
couple of minutes, but yes, please right.

Speaker 12 (21:11):
This rebranding a question for you, in the newly minted
Secretary of War. What message does this send to our enemies,
to our allies, to the American people, And again, what
gave you the idea for this rebrand at this moment.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
I think it sends a message of victory.

Speaker 6 (21:25):
I think it sends as really a message of strength.
We're very strong. We're much stronger than anyone would really understand.
And again, you know, having the great equipment. We have
just so much better. You look at all of the
uh just any of it submarines as an example, We're
twenty years ahead of anyone else. Nobody even compares. And

(21:47):
I let a lot of this happen in my first term.
You know, we totally rebuilt our military. Then, of course
you had that catastrophe in Afghanistan where they gave up
a lot of the equipment, but a relatively small out,
but a lot.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
It was a lot in Afghanistan. I think it was
the most.

Speaker 6 (22:04):
General I'd say it was the most embarrassing day and
the history of our country. The way that happened, the
way they went to the wrong airport.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
They should have.

Speaker 6 (22:12):
Gone to Bagram, not the local little airport with no security,
with tight quarters, etc.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
You know what happened.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
I think it was the most embarrassing moment in the
history of our country. Frankly, that was under the Biden administration.
That was terrible, and we were going to be leaving,
but we were leaving with strength and dignity. We were
going to keep Bogram because Bogram's one hour away from
where China makes its nuclear weapons. We're going to have
that all to ourselves, a big, beautiful place built many

(22:41):
years ago for money that today would be the equivalent
of you know, many many billions of dollars.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
You couldn't build it, the longest.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
Runways, the most powerful runways in terms of load capacity,
and we just walked away from it. So stupid, and
there were fools, the people were fools.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Nowhere, we have the strongest military.

Speaker 6 (23:02):
And I think that indicates we have the strongest military.
And you know, we had it, and we won World
War One, we won World War Two, we won everything before,
and as I said, we won everything in between, and
we were very strong, but we never fought to win.
We just didn't fight to win. We didn't lose anything,

(23:22):
but we didn't fight to win. We could have won
every one of those wars quickly, but they went a
route that I think was probably politically correct, but not
correct for our nation. So I think the Department of
War census signal. Yeah, listen, mister, you alloted this a
little while.

Speaker 13 (23:40):
And if you said that three day is a good
reflection where the world.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Is that right now?

Speaker 13 (23:46):
How do you swear leaving it to the part of
war and you've been pursuing peace.

Speaker 6 (23:51):
Yeah, Well, I think I've gotten peace because of the
fact that we're strong. If we weren't strong, those seven
deals I told you about the seven wars, a majority
of them wouldn't have happened.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
They happened for two reasons. Trade and our strength. Those
are the two reasons.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
And probably strength may be more important than trade. So
if we I was very proud of all those wis
wars that could not be settled, and I settled all
of them, and we'll get the other one settled also,
that'll get settled.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
But without the strength, we wouldn't have settled any of
me place.

Speaker 8 (24:24):
Your expectation that Congress will quodify this name change in.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
The law, I don't know, but we're going to find out.
But I'm not sure they have to. We're signing an
executive order today, but we're going to find out. Let
me see if they do. We're going with it, and
we're going with it very strongly. There's a question as
to whether or not they have to, but we'll put
it before Congress.

Speaker 14 (24:46):
You know, this rebrand will actually costs, and are there
any concerns about you know, the Pentagon's mission of actually
cutting back.

Speaker 6 (24:53):
On spending, But not a lot of you know, we
know how to rebrand without having to go crazy.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
We don't have to recarve them mountain or anything.

Speaker 6 (24:59):
We're going to be doing it, not in the most
expensive We're going to start changing the station area as
it comes doue and lots of things like that. We're
not going to be doing things like have been done
in the past when they change the name of forts
that shouldn't have been changed. Those names if the forts,
should not have been changed, at least for the most part,

(25:19):
and as you know, many of them have been changed
back already at the request of the communities. Every one
of those communities said we want our name back, like
Fort Bragg as an example. The people in that community
wanted that name back. They refused to call it anything
else but Fort Bragg. So we're not going to be
spending very much money on that.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (25:40):
Starts when you spoke with the Europeans and Silensky earlier
this week, did you preview this for them, and did
you say what security guarantee.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
They might involved.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
This has nothing to do with anybody but the United
States of America, the people of America.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
This is who I.

Speaker 6 (25:54):
Talked to about changing an It is a very important
change because it's it's an attitude and we know.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
How to win. We've been winning and we're going to
win like you've never seen.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
Way do these factories start to open up that are
being built all over the country. You're going to see
things happen in this country that nobody expects. We have
over seventeen trillion dollars in investment coming into the country.
We never did anything even remotely close to that. We've
never no other country has either, by the way, So
you're going to see things that are pretty amazing.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
But it's really about winning.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
S If you're any guarantees aspect of that with you, prance.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Or well, we'll work.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
It will help them. Look, we want to save a
lot of lives, so we'll do something with that.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I think people expect that will help them. Well.

Speaker 6 (26:41):
Europe will be first in by far, and they want
to be first and they want to see it end.
Europe wants to see it end, and it'll end. It'll
end all of a sudden, it's going to come together.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
You watch, Yeah, did you want something right? Yeah? Behind you? Please? Yes?

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (26:58):
You bold decisive offensive action to protect American values strikes
and ron strikes US past Tuesday, and the positively idea
trend Aragua Marco Terris is that going to be a
critical function of department.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
It depends on the individual instance.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
You know, we don't want drugs coming in from Venezuela
or anybody else or any place else.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
So we'll be tough on that.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
And we don't want human trafficking. We don't want to
see people coming in where they open their prisons from
all over the world and they dumped their prisoners into
our country, which is what they did in the Biden administration,
where they took insane asylums and places that held people
that were seriously mentally ill, mentally incompetent, mentally dangerous, and

(27:46):
they dumped those people into our country and we're trying.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
To get them out now.

Speaker 6 (27:51):
What they've done, what the Democrats and Biden have done
to this country will go down in infamy, what they
have done to our country, and especially that you know,
they created the worst inflation we've ever had.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
That's nothing compared.

Speaker 6 (28:07):
To what they did with the people in our country
right now.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
And we're getting them out.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
And it's not easy when you have the liberal judges
destroying our country, but we've won them all we've won
it all, ultimately won it all. Heart process. It should
be easy, and we know who it is. We know
exactly who we're looking for. We had eleven thousand murderers
dropped into our country. We've gotten a lot of them
out or in some cases they're so dangerous we're afraid

(28:34):
to get them out because they'd come back in. But
for the last one hundred and twenty days, zero people
came in. Can you imagine This is me speaking, But
these are figures developed by they say, a pretty liberal
group of people. They admit that zero people came into
our country.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Think of that.

Speaker 6 (28:55):
A year ago it was millions of people were coming in.
Millions they were coming in, and you could look at
them and you could say, big trouble, and that's what
we have in our country. But we're getting them out
and despite that, we're doing really well.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah please run. Yeah. Well, the recruitment is the most
exciting thing.

Speaker 6 (29:19):
So when I was campaigning for the office, numbers were
coming out that the recruitment numbers, generally, you could speak
to it better than anybody. The recruitment into the military,
all branches of the military and police, environment and everything else,
anything having to do with like a public service. The
numbers were horrible, record setting band and now they're records

(29:41):
setting good. We're setting every record every month for recruitment.
We're packed in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard,
my beautiful air I love Space Command, I love the
Space Iceives, Space Command, but Space Force has been We've
got a waiting list of people wanting to go.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
In a year ago, especially a year and a half ago.

Speaker 6 (30:04):
You know, when I took the lead in the palls,
which was very early, it really helped with the recruiting
and what I won from November fifth on it's been amazing.
And over the last four or five months it's been
we're just back. It was very hard to get police offices.
Now the departments are loaded up. Everyone wants to be
a policeman or woman. So it's been a great thing. Jenny,

(30:27):
Do you want to talk about that?

Speaker 10 (30:28):
Sure?

Speaker 11 (30:28):
As you said, serving our nation is an incredible gift
that we give, and the reward on that gift pays
back exponentially.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
A year over year.

Speaker 11 (30:37):
And I think the young people of America are seeing
the importance of service, and whether it's in any of
our armed services or in local police, fire and rescue
service is an important thing that I personally encourage, and
I know everyone else in government services that same reward
and pete recruitment.

Speaker 10 (30:56):
I was down a forbidding the newly properly relamed for
Benning yesterday. Watch watching Army basic training and they're so
full they can't barely handle the throughput.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
It is truly historic across all the services.

Speaker 10 (31:10):
As you said, it's been a surge into the I
was going to say the.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
Defense Department, but I will say the War Department.

Speaker 10 (31:15):
And you might almost call it a vibe shift, an
attitude shift, a feeling that the country is back, that
service is back.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
And you there were military families last.

Speaker 10 (31:24):
Year, mister President, that said, I don't know if I
can recommend I mean, I wrote a book on this.
I don't know if I can recommend service to my
son or daughter, given what's been done to our military.
You heard it over and over and over again, and
I hear from those say military families right now, sir,
and they're saying, I recommend to my kids that they
go into this department, this Pentagon, under this commander in chief,

(31:45):
who they know you'll have their back.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
And they want to serve.

Speaker 10 (31:48):
So it is historic and it's the biggest reflection of
how motivated Americans are a by your leadership, sir.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
You know, really it's nothing more than spirit love for
the country. I guess the spirit of corps. There's a
you have more of that than we've had maybe ever. Frankly,
but to see a turn over a period of less
than a year, I would say, but to see nobody
wanted to go into the military. Now everybody wants to
go into the military. At Jennifer, you want to Yeah.

Speaker 15 (32:15):
There's some new reporting on North Korea and this Navy seal.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Incident in twenty nineteen. Can you say if the administration has.

Speaker 15 (32:23):
Engaged with North Korea on that incident since it happened recently?

Speaker 2 (32:27):
And then can you share subarb. I don't know anything
about it. I'd have to I could look, but I
know nothing about it.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
You confirm that it happens.

Speaker 6 (32:34):
I don't know anything about it. I'm hearing it now
for the first time.

Speaker 9 (32:37):
Okay, great.

Speaker 15 (32:38):
And now on the Hyundai incident in Georgia with the
arrest of some workers construction workers at the plant, have
you heard any feedback from Hun Dai.

Speaker 16 (32:48):
I just heard about that a little while before the
news conference, and I would say that they were illegal
aliens and I was just doing this, but I know
nothing about the instance.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
It happened a little while ago. There has been a.

Speaker 14 (33:03):
Pushback on that though from South Korea already. And of course,
you know, they pledged to of US one hundred and
fifty billion in the US and they were just here
you know last week. Are you well, And.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
They have the right to sell cars and things in
our country. You know, it's not like a one side idea.

Speaker 14 (33:16):
Are you concerned at all about you know, your immigration
agenda potentially clashing with these economic goals.

Speaker 6 (33:23):
Well, we want to get along with other countries, and
we want to have a great stable workforce. And we had,
as I understand it, a lot of illegal aliens. Some
not the best of people, but we had a lot
of illegal aliens working there. So you know, look, they're
doing their job. That's what they have to do. These
are people that came through with Biden. They came through illegally.

(33:45):
They came into our country, So we have to do
our job.

Speaker 17 (33:47):
Is in the now Department of Wars involved in the
crimes they not in DC. You've tasked Congress with proposing
and passing a crime bill. What are some things that
you would really like to see codified in that crime bill.

Speaker 6 (33:59):
Well, I think one of the things is the cashless bail.
It's killing it when that came out originally, when that
came out the first time, that's when you saw the
real big crime start to happen.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Cashless bail. What a disaster that is.

Speaker 6 (34:12):
You murder somebody, you don't have to put up bail,
and you go out in the.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Street and you murder somebody else.

Speaker 6 (34:17):
That's what's happened, happened so often, and that's one of
the things and other of the things you're reading about.
You know, it's a standard, but just a certain toughness.
I have to say, one of the elements of fascination
for people over the last period of time has been
what's happened to DC. So we've gone from a one

(34:37):
of the most dangerous cities in our country to what
they call a safe city.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
It's a totally safe city.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
In fact, I set up dinner in Washington, DC next week.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
I wouldn't have done that, to be honest. I would
have had an obligation.

Speaker 6 (34:53):
Not to do it before I came into office or
even at the very beginning when things were so corrupt
and so dangerous out on the streets. So Washington, d C.
Has had virtually no crime. We even have a mayor
that's admitting to it. And she's a liberal Democrat, no fairness,

(35:13):
she's a person that hasn't gotten exactly along with Republicans
over the years, and she said she's never seen anything
like it. So Washington, d C. Is a totally safe city.
We have virtually no crime. It's gone from the most
unsafe city in the United States almost just about to

(35:34):
one of the safest cities, maybe the safest city in
the United States. That's a tremendous compliment to our military.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
What we did at the National Guard Center, fantastic. Jeb yup,
please as well.

Speaker 9 (35:45):
We're Florida House Speed or Dame of forzs of the
White House yesterday are part of the leaderships on it
is entertaining member then separately, mister President, what you talk
about and also did you explore in running for.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
For we go?

Speaker 6 (35:58):
I didn't. We didn't talk about that. But he's done
a fantastic job. He's respected all over the country. Really,
he's a leader and he's done just a fantastic job.
We didn't discuss any thing having to do with this future.
I'm sure he'd be very good at that.

Speaker 9 (36:12):
My second question, Alivator Alatraz has sticking with Florida a
major ruling appeals for lack of federals order to close it,
and you remain open for now your reactions.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
I think they've done a fantastic job in building it,
the governor and everybody else that's been involved. It's an
incredible facility. It's housing people for usually a very short
period of time before they get brought back to their countries.
As you know, we focus on criminals before we focus
on anybody else, and we're taking thousands and thousands of

(36:44):
criminals out every month out of our country, some of
the murderers. And I think Florida has done a great
job by building it. And whether it's Alligator Alcatraz or
anything else you want to call it. I was there,
I visited with the governor with other people. I guess
Nikki was there. Tom Holman's been there, a lot. A

(37:05):
lot of people have been there from It's an amazing
facility for what it is.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
It's not a hotel.

Speaker 6 (37:11):
It's not supposed to be a hotel, but they've done
a great job with it, and I'm very happy with
the JUG's decision.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
You also mentioned Venezuela.

Speaker 9 (37:17):
I'll ask more follow a question on that on the
US striking to will tell you Venezuela drug cartel, the
Maduro regime is pushing back today and how they say
the USC's regime changed through military threat. Your reaction to
the words, and also would you like to see regime
change in Venezuela.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Well, we're not talking about that, but we are.

Speaker 6 (37:34):
Talking about the fact that you had an election which
was a very strange election, and to put it in
mid I'm being very.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Nice when I say that.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
I can only say that billions of dollars of drugs
are pouring into our country from Venezuela. The prisons of
Venezuela have been opened up to our country. They've taken
their prisoners. The worst prisoners, murderers, trend dear Ragua, the
worst prisoners that you can ever imagine, are now happily
living in the United States of America.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Now many of them we've gotten out.

Speaker 6 (38:07):
Not easy to get them out because of the liberal
system that we're working with. In many cases, not in
all cases, but millions and millions of dollars and millions
of dollars of drugs are pouring out of Venezuela and
other countries. Look, China, what they're doing with fentanyl is
a terrible thing. It comes through Canada and it comes

(38:30):
through Mexico, but a lot of it's coming through Venezuela,
and Venezuela has been a very bad actor.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
And we understand that. And when you.

Speaker 6 (38:40):
Look at that boat, you look at the you see
the bags of whatever it is. They're those bags where
you know, those bags represent hundreds of thousands of dead
people in the United States, That's what they represent.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
You list the president your reaction to the job for
fourth this morning. Well, I'm got to talk about that
at a minute. We have our great people here, so
I'll talk that in a minute. Let's talk about this.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
We'll give a couple of the because these two people
want to get to work on the Department of War,
so let's keep them first.

Speaker 17 (39:08):
President that you Jay is reportedly considering a ban on
transgender people owning guns after the Minneapolis shooting.

Speaker 6 (39:16):
Do you think are we talking in the military. Okay,
I thought you were.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Talking about it in the military.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
I'll refer to that then differently, because it's not a
military question.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
I'll be able to.

Speaker 6 (39:28):
Pass on that very nicely, unless you'd like to talk
about it, Petes at what any part of that question?

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yes, please, mister.

Speaker 17 (39:34):
President, who do you blame for losing India to China?

Speaker 5 (39:37):
And your post on this day in the morning.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
I don't think we have.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
You know, I've been very disappointed that India would be
buying so much oil, as you know, from Russia, and
I let them know that we put a very big
teriff from India fifty percent terraf, very hot terror. I
get along very well with Mody, as you know, he's great.

(40:02):
He was here a couple of months ago. In fact,
we went to the Rose Garden and it was the
grass was so soaking wet. It was so such a
terrible place to have a news conference. I said, well,
let's use a beautiful white stone emblematic of the White
House SECA.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
And it's been very well received.

Speaker 6 (40:20):
But we had a news conference in the on the grass.
It was my last news conference I had on the
grass because everybody sunk in, you probably sunk in every
reporter out there. They ruined issues. We made that change.
It it's been a really well received change.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Yeah, please God my festations. Along the Sean Hennity Show
Radio network, we'll continue with the President and his impromptu
press conference at the Oval Office after renaming the Department
of Defense now officially is the Department of War, going
back to its original name up until nineteen forty seven.
We are also awaiting a campaign announcement from Gracie Mansion

(40:59):
in New York City from the current Mayor of New
York City, Eric Adams. I would anticipate that he is
likely getting out of the race, probably to assist maybe
Andrew Cuomo in a quest to isolate Mamdani and consolidate
the vote, the anti Mondammi vote. We'll see what happens.

(41:21):
That's straight ahead, but we'll continue our coverage along the
Sean Hannity Show Radio Network through the top of the hour.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
I've got a quarterygo, you.

Speaker 13 (41:28):
Said, Daviill Bessels in the cury, and you're be ancerted
about driving drugs be legally said, how do you describe
this build up, this situation.

Speaker 6 (41:38):
Just to get strong with strong on drugs. We don't
want drugs killing our people. I believe we lost three
hundred thousand. You know, they always say ninety five one
hundred thousand. I believe they've been saying that for twenty years.
I believe we lost three hundred thousand people last year.
I know families that lost their son. Those families will
never be the same. I know family lost a daughter,
a beautiful daughter. In fact, it was like she took

(42:01):
something that she thought was like a minor deal and
it turned out to be riddled out with fentodyl the
size of the head of a pin, and you're dead.
And no were stopping the drugs. We're going to save
a lot of people. Look whether it's one hundred thousand,
but it's not. It's three hundred, three hundred and fifty
thousand people died last year from drugs, and we're not

(42:22):
going to let that happen to this country.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Think of that.

Speaker 6 (42:25):
Think if you're in a war and you lose three
hundred thousand, we'll lose six hundred thousand.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
In the.

Speaker 6 (42:30):
Pretty much between Gettysburg and all of that, the Civil
War we lost what six hundred thousand, So we're losing
half of that every year to drugs.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
We're not going to do it. We're not going to
allow it. To happen. You think of the wars.

Speaker 6 (42:44):
If we lost six hundred thousand people in a war,
but we lost, we lose that every two years more
than that.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
So it's three hundred to three hundred and fifty thousand people.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
And when I see boats coming in like loaded up
the other day with all sorts of drugs, probably fent
it all mostly, but all sorts of drugs, and we're
going to take them out. And if people want to
have fun going on the high seas or the low season,
they're going to be in trouble.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
I will tell you.

Speaker 6 (43:12):
Boat traffic is substantially down in the area that happened.
And if they called it the runway, it's a runway
to it's the runway to the United States. And boat
traffic is very substantially down on the runway.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
You can imagine why.

Speaker 6 (43:27):
I think anybody that saw that is going to say
I'll take a pass. I don't even know about fishermen.
They may say, I'm not getting on the boat. I'm
not going to take a chance.

Speaker 13 (43:35):
A venezuela flyas jenis over us.

Speaker 6 (43:38):
And justice again, well, I would say they're going to
be in trouble.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
We'll let them know about that.

Speaker 6 (43:43):
We heard that happen, but it wasn't really over, not
like they described. But I would say, General, if they
do that, you have a choice of doing anything you want.
If they fly in a dangerous position, I would say
that you can, you or your captains can make the.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Decision as to what they want to do.

Speaker 5 (44:03):
We have one and he said they didn't go over.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Say it. How close did they get?

Speaker 7 (44:07):
He said, the plane didn't.

Speaker 6 (44:08):
Well, I don't want to talk about that, but if
they do put us in a dangerous position, let me
shut down. Thank you very much, everybody. So we're going
to now cover the G twenty and I'm going to
let these people go back to the Department of War
and figure out how to maintain piece.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Okay, thanks, thank you very much. Congratulates General. Thanks quit job.

Speaker 8 (44:29):
Sure just before G twenty. We do have one more
EO for you today. And I should also say that
the Department of warrio that you signed was actually your
two hundred EO since you came back into office on
January twenty. If that's more than Joe Biden did in
his entire term in office, more than Obama did in
either of his two terms in office. So it's a
momentous accomplishment, and congratulations.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Good, but I'd never signed one.

Speaker 6 (44:53):
No, everyone figure by the other didn't hey, so we
really beat him by much more than you.

Speaker 8 (45:01):
The two hundred first Executive Order, Sir, this relates to
hostages and wrongfully detained Americans. This provides a new legal
mechanism to declare foreign countries to be countries that engage
in those sorts of practices and gives your administration powerful
tools to get American hostages out. And this has been
a focus of your administration this time around. Adam Bowler's

(45:22):
here and he's done incredible work already.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
This will give him even more and Adam is amazing.

Speaker 6 (45:28):
So, Adam, do you want to describe how many hostages
we've gotten out together? You and I and you and
a couple of other people that we know, and me
and a couple of other people that you don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
But we've gotten a lot of hostages. You want to
describe it?

Speaker 18 (45:40):
As a president, you've brought back seventy two hostages since
your term. If we compare that to President Biden, he
has gotten twenty taken, so he is negative twenty twenty taken.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
They don't take up people so often.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
So, mister President, that's when we spoke.

Speaker 18 (45:57):
You said that that was a primary focus. I'll tell
you that job is easy because of you. And we
paid nothing to We pay nothing. They paid six billion.
They always paid six billion for five people. Six billion.
It was just a number. I kept hearing.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Not only that six billion plus we'd get.

Speaker 6 (46:15):
Like one person and they'd get six. They got one,
the uh Prince of Doom they called him. He was
the number one arms merchant anywhere in the world ever,
and they got him out.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
And on top of that, we paid money. So uh, no,
we don't do that. You know, once you pay money and.

Speaker 6 (46:35):
Then a lot of people start disappearing. They start grabbing
reporters too. They think the reporter is gonna get a
lot of money. And to me, they would, you would
be you'll be well taken care. I better stress that
because otherwise we have headlines.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
He said this. So he said that, No, I'm not
smiling about it, but they would.

Speaker 6 (46:53):
They'd be grabbing reporters, they'd be grabbing everybody, and especially
when you pay the kind of money that Biden and
End they used to pay money. That was crazy. We
don't pay and if you don't pay. They find it
to be not a lucrative business anymore. That's fantastic. Would
you like to say something.

Speaker 7 (47:12):
So, it's really spieda special Envoid bowler, it's Rick Ronell,
it's deep whitcarfro broad Americans home. But with this year
you are signing today, you are drawing a line in
the sand that US citizens will not be used as
bargaining chips. And it provides your sector of state market Rubio,

(47:33):
the same tool set to punish states who take our
citizens wrongfully, the same way that we can punish those
who sponsor terrorists. This is a very significant EO you
are signing today, sir, Thank.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
You, SUSI very good. You're doing a great job too.

Speaker 7 (47:48):
And this is your director passage at the NFC. So
Julie was seminal as well to all of this.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
I heard you're doing unbelievable. Would you like to say something.

Speaker 10 (47:57):
Absolutely, it's a outstair ding EO.

Speaker 8 (48:00):
Absolutely unprecedented action against those foreign adversaries who would take
our people.

Speaker 5 (48:07):
They now know they are on notice and it's not acceptable.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
And if you take our people now, you will pay.

Speaker 6 (48:14):
You know, Adam gave up a job where he was
making tremendous amounts of money, big big stuff, top of
the line Wall Street, and he wanted to do this.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
He wanted to do hostages. I offered them other jobs,
to have very big jobs, he said. I was shocked.
Actually he didn't want to.

Speaker 6 (48:30):
He wanted to do hostage negotiation and pretty amazing.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Thank you very much. Appreciate present, appreciate it. Thank you.

Speaker 6 (48:39):
Do you have any questions for them on this very
important subject.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
I think he showed a lot of your leadership in
are planning for America and plighting for humans and the
thing that you know, Joe Biden, win the negative there
