Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thanks scottsch In an hour two Sean Hannity Show,
eight hundred and nine to four one Sean, if you
want to be a part of the program, we watched
in horror as Vladimir Putin rather than take the opportunity
to bring peace to Europe and the region and stop
this onslaught, just decided to just fire at innocent civilians
(00:23):
and take them out. It angered President Trump, who said
that he's gone absolutely crazy, which he's been for some time.
I've always said he's a murdering dictator, thug. And as
a result of all of this, we now have eighty
one Senators that are backing Lindsey Graham's plan, which is
(00:43):
to impose crippling sanctions on Russia. The latest outrage by
Russia will not go unaddressed, gram writing on X Without
China support, Putin's war machine will come to a halt.
Eighty one senators have pledged their support of a bill
to impose sanctions against the Kremlin, as well as a
five hundred percent tariff on imported goods from countries that
(01:07):
buy Russian oil and gas and other products. You know,
one of the reasons, I mean, we see similarities in
both the Middle East with Iran and number one state
sponsor of terror and Putin and Russia. One of the
similarities we see and just this common denominator is both
these countries get rich because of stupidity. Russia was allowed
(01:31):
to get rich because Western European countries were buying up
gas and doing multi billion dollar deals for gas with
Vladimir Putin. That's why Angela Merkel when she was Chancellor,
got the white flag of surrender from then President Trump
for helping to make Russia rich. And that obviously it
enriches their coffers, which results in military spending, which resulted
(01:54):
in the Ukrainian invasion. And so what is ultimately going
to happen here? One of the according to one of
the leading newspapers in Ukraine, Russia's three day bombardment of
Ukrainian cities over the weekend has convinced President Trump to
consider lifting all restrictions on what Ukraine's military can do
with US supplied weapons. And now there's talk of the
(02:15):
Ukrainians going full on and straight for Moscow. Now, there
was one report this weekend that Russian President Vladimir Putin's
helicopter came under Ukrainian fire by some of their drones
in the Kursk region last week, and at least that's
what they're claiming. But the bottom line is this is
(02:37):
now coming to a head and we'll see what happens.
Here's what Jack Keene had to say on Fox that
Putin is targeting civilians to get Trump to back away.
I don't think that's going to work.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, there's no doubt that Russia will do another offensive
this summer. There certain in preparation for that, but I mean,
right in front of us, I think clearly what is
happening is Russia is not going to any peace cease fire,
you know, temporary for thirty days or so, and certainly
not to a permanent one in the near term. They've
(03:10):
been unwilling to make any concessions whatsoever. And I think
the fact that they continue to target civilians and kill civilians,
I believe is Putent's attempt to put more pressure on
the president because the President got involved in stopping this
war largely because of the killing that's taken place, and
he's set of time and time again, and I think
(03:31):
it's very sincere about that, and Putin sees that as
an opportunity to put pressure on the president to get
him to back away. And I think that's what's happening.
And listen, twenty five years we've known Putin, and for
those twenty five years he's been a war criminal and
as targeted civilians. He's doing it right now, as we
see on a daily basis.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Joining us now is Rebecca kauflat Away in on all
of the strategic military intelligence analysts, formerly with the US
Defense and Tel Agency. She put out a best selling
book called Putin's Playbook. You've been pretty accurate so far
that he was going to try and delay and avoid
what I think one day will be inevitable, and that
is Putin is going to have to realize that when
(04:14):
the world turns against him, that it is going to
be a dramatic shift in what it is that Russia
expects the life that they have enjoyed with the support
of the West.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I wish, Sean, I could give you some positive news,
but I make a living by accurately predicting Putin's behavior
based on a very rigorous intelligence analysis. And like you said,
so far, I have had a very strong record. No,
the world is not going to change against Putin. Even today,
(04:46):
as we speak, there are one hundred nations representatives from
security councils.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
All over the world.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I'm meeting in Moscow for a conference that is Russia's
equivalent of Munich, of our Western Munich conference. Putin is
not making concessions despite the predictions of the various experts,
the same ones they called him a warmonger and a criminal.
(05:14):
Somehow they expect Putin to act like a nice guy.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
But now he is.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Not going to end this war in Sanctions are not
going to change his behavior because, in no shape or
form if his decision calculus on the war in Ukraine
is driven by economic concerns. So the best thing for
President Trump right now is to simply walk away. And
(05:44):
I'm afraid he doesn't have good advice from his people
who don't understand how Putin thinks. That simpleton thinks like
a Russian. He doesn't, and so this war isn't well.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
But let's take let's take President Trump out of it
for a second, because he's trying to bring peace of
the region. And let's look at Western Europe for example,
because they continue to import Russian gas and energy and
they're making plut and rich.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
This is their continent.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
This is not our continent, and one has to wonder
why they continue to fund that one percent.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I mean, Ukraine is not part of America's vital interest.
What does it mean? It means that America's security and
long term stability is in no shape or form reliant
on Ukraine. So it's really unclear why before President Trump,
every single President Obama, Bider and going back to Bush Clinton,
(06:42):
why they decided to court Ukraine in Tornato. Ukraine is
a highly corrupt country. It's the number one country in
the world. And so who basically is trying to restore
his strategic security paramater which is similar to our Monroe
doctrine and.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The whole Well, if he's trying to do that, why
don't we go back to the former Soviet Union days
and Poland and Hungary and Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. You know,
why don't we bring back are his territorial ambitions that large?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
No, that's not he That's what Europeans want to want
you to believe that he wants to invade a NATO country.
But Putin is not suicidal. NATO, at least in conventional fence,
holds advantage in combat potential. Putin is waging the war
just below the threshold of triggering US and NATO boots
(07:38):
on the ground in Ukraine. If a Poland were to
be attacked, and even one of the Baltics, then Article
five would be triggered collective defense and Putin is done.
What is happening right now is the.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
European But as part of the settlement, I don't mean
to interrupt you, but this is important to me. As
part of the the negotiated settlement, Ukraine would never be
a part of NATO that he would get to keep Crimea,
which he annexed in twenty fourteen. This war started under
Joe Biden, it didn't start under Donald Trump. Donald Trump
(08:14):
recognizes that certain areas of Ukraine, like the Dombas region,
which is eighty percent Russia national, was likely going to
end up in Plutin Sands anyway. And he seems to
have been offered almost everything that he wants. But yet
this indiscriminate killing of innocent men, women and children continues.
Why and does why does why do European nations, especially
(08:36):
Western European nations, continue to help make Russia rich.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm answering your question, right now, so yes, you absolutely, Coreig.
The war started under Biden and even under Obama because
Obama was pushing really hard for Ukraine to be in NATO.
It would have never started under President Trump. What now
is happening. Not only the Europeans continue to buy energy
(09:03):
in addition to India, China and Turkey, the EU is
also important energy financing putting war machine. But they're also
using Ukrainians as human shields effectively because as Ukrainians are
being killed, and right now more than one million between
the Russians and Ukrainians are killed. That's why President Trump
(09:25):
is really frustrated. So but they're degrading Russian or they
think they are the Europeans instead of paying up increasing
their contributions, they are using Ukrainians, throwing them into putting
meat grinder, hoping to degrade the Russian economy. But they're
now going to degrade the Russian military and economy. Here's why,
(09:47):
because putting transitions in twenty fifteen, his military on a
war time footing and his sanction proved his economy, and
NATO knew that because I personally briefed them. So right
now Russia produces in three months more military hardware than
the entire NATO alliance including the United States, produces in
(10:10):
one year. Think about that, and that's intelligence analysis coming
from NATO Secretary General Mark Rudder. The reason why Putin
is not settling for with President Trump, even though Trump
is promising no NATO membership, is because it's two reasons.
One is there's significant war fighting capability stationed right now
(10:36):
in Ukraine, Western capability including a CIA basis and including
a major NATO combat training center which is about six
miles away from Polish border in the Awards, and Putin
is trying to basically destroy that capability because he doesn't
(10:58):
trust us because he views that Remember Joe Biden, Initially
he was saying, no, we will never allow Ukraine to
strike deep Interrussia, and then he turned around and he
changed his mind. Same with President Trump. And don't get
me wrong, I love President Trump. I'm just because I'm
an intelligency analyst. I am telling you how it is.
(11:18):
I'm not gonna lie to you or your viewers.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
So then President Trump, first he removed intelligence sharing in
military assistance from KIO from Ukraine and then she put
it right back in.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
So for that reason, Putin is simply not believing US.
And it's right out untenable situation and it's not going
to get resolved.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
All right, quick break right back.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
We'll continue more with Rebecca Kaufler on the other side,
author of the best selling book Putin's Playbook, formerly US
Defense Intelligence Agency and strategic military intelligence analysts.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
We continue now.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Rebecca Kaffler is with US she Putin's Playbook, also a
strategic military intelligence analyst formerly with the US Defense Intelligence Agency.
So at this point, you're suggesting that Trump just walk
away from it. But that doesn't solve Europe's problem, and
it doesn't solve NATO's problem. And we're a part of NATO.
(12:18):
And this is why it's been so important that President
Trump insists that these NATO allied nations that they pay
start paying their fair share. I mean, Canada pays about
half what they're supposed to pay, which is what five
percent of GDP. We we pay more than any other
country by far. And again I go back to my point,
this is their continent. They're making Putin rich on the
(12:39):
one hand, they're not building up their defenses on the
other hand, and they're creating a vulnerability that you know
that has not existed since World War Two.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
That's exactly why they've been using US as ponds, the
US tax daya. Not only we have been financing their defense,
but more than a day. And like I said, I
personally told them at the highly classified level in twenty
thirteen what Puten was going to do. And yet only
(13:10):
at that time only eight countries out of thirty two
contributed even two percent. Germany, the richest country, didn't, So
they were using their three month vacations, the free healthcare.
We were financing all of this. So the only reason
I'm saying is we must walk away is to save
us money and reduce the risk of a direct genetic confrontation.
(13:32):
Because look, the same people who spend twenty years in
Afghanistan just telling us, oh, the victory is just around
the corner, and we spent two point two trillion dollars
and six thousand lives only to walk away. And that
military they ave gone some doesn't even have a regular
military for US, And NATO wants to get us into
(13:53):
war with Russia that has six thousand nuclear warheads that
quality and in a variety right now hold advantage over
US weapons. Arsenal, nuclear weapons, Arsenal. It's precisely why prisident
Trump wants us to augment that. So these people are
(14:14):
absolutely delusional. She needs to get better advisors who are
going to tell them the reality and not like using
these sanctions like it's some sort of canna see. It's
like giving us for into a dead person.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
These sanctions unbelievable and these are definitely scary times. Rebecca Kafla,
We appreciate your insight. I hope people are paying attention
because this is this is getting.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Worse by the day.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yes, sir, anytime, eight.

Speaker 6 (15:37):
Robert F.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Kennedy Junior announcing the COVID vaccine has beneficially removed from
the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for healthy kids and pregnant women.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Listen, Hi, everybody, I'm Robert F.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Kennedy Junior, your age age as secretary, and I'm here
today with NIH Director doctor J. Bodicharia and FDA Commissioner
Doctor Marty McCarey. I couldn't be more pleased to announce that,
as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and
healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended
(16:12):
immunization schedule. Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children
to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of
any political data to support the repeat booster strategy in children.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
That ends today. It's common sense, that's good science.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most
countries have stopped recommending it for children. Were now one
step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America
healthy again.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't even want to ask how happy you are?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
You like that?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
There are no words, There are no words.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
No, I'm with you too.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
By the way, this is a fabulous and amazing moment
of truth. We relied to our children were hurt, pregnant
women lost their babies, and now we can finally stop it.
We can protect our children, the unborn and the born,
and stop all the nonsense. It was utter nonsense to
begin with. There wasn't one ounce of science that supported
(17:13):
kids getting this stupid vaccine.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Well, they weren't dying from COVID now. If you go
back to our interviews with Robert Malone, who took a
lot of heat publicly he is the creator of the
mRNA technology. On this very show, and on TV he
said multiple times that this technology was not perfected, that
(17:36):
this was not tested, and he said with that said
he would allow emergency authorization because older people were tended
to be a lot more impacted by COVID than others,
and those with pre existing conditions and comorbidities, etc. He
said he would only allow it for those people that
(17:57):
chose it. He wouldn't have mandated anything, and based on
information and consultation with your doctor, based on your medical history.
And for that he was excoriated. And meanwhile, there wouldn't
have been any shot but for his technology. He didn't
He didn't invent the shot. And he said the idea
that kids get it and younger people get it, and
people without pre existing conditions or care morbidities. I mean,
(18:20):
that should have been everything we needed to hear at
the time. Now we aired it, we aired it regularly,
and nobody wanted to hear it. And all people wanted
to know is what is your status, Hannity, And I'm like,
it's none of your business what my status is.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Go jump in a lake. And then I had another thing.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
It wasn't just about status. It was about control. Every
single person in the world and it didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Work, but there was there was enormous pressure brought to
bear on me on both this show and on the
TV show for me to tell people what to do,
and I wasn't going to do it. I refused and
I and then we brought on people like doctor Malone
and so many others that had very different points of view,
and we were excoriated for that. They paid a price
(19:06):
themselves for doing it. Doctor Oz, by the way, was
one of the people that came on and was very
outspoken about the need for people to be very careful
with this, and he got excoriated for his position. It
really is an unbelievable time historically for all of that
to have happened.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
It really is.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
And I hope, I'll tell you what, I'm looking forward
to Fauncy the fraud actually being brought up on charges
for all that he did because he knew what he did.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Okay, he got a preemptive pardon. It ain't gonna happen.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
Yeah, But if they're signed by autopen then I don't
really think that counts, does it, Sean?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I don't know, But you know what, I don't know
what would prevent states from bringing cases against him. I
mean that happens all the time. They did that to
Trump all the time. Sure, I mean, if we're really
going to hold people accountable, because we went over those emails,
and then if you remember, there were a number of
groups that came out, and there were a number of
caches of emails that came out that showed that they
(20:01):
knew darn well that NIH money went to fund this
Wuhan virology lab, that they knew where they did coronavirus
research and gain of function research, and Fauci himself was
quoted even if it results in a pandemic, I still
support gain of function. I mean, how stupid can you be?
By the way, and he made a lot of money
(20:24):
in the years that ensued. Apparently MPR was trying to
get people to ditch their gas grills this holiday past
holiday weekend. Electric grills are a climate friendly option to
fossil fuel grills. Uh gas is the cleanest burning fuel
(20:45):
that exists. Even know what they're talking about. Anyways, Americans
are gearing up a Memorial Day. MPR decided to have
a beef with how people cook their meat and anyway. Correspondence,
some are grilling usually starts with filling a propane tank
and buying a bag of charcoal. But some people are
ditching these fuels for more climate friendly electrical These people,
(21:06):
you know what I came away with. These people are
never going to stop. They are never going to stop.
Later in the program, at the top of the hour,
we will get into the latest with Laurel Libby, the
state legislator from Maine that won her case and her
role in the main politics with the help of the
Supreme Court ruling in her favor, but she's struggling to
do her job. And female athlete groups are suing Minnesota
(21:29):
officials for allowing boys to compete against girls. That's still
going on, and trans high school track and field dominate
qualifying for California state files finals and multiple events. I mean,
how much is enough with this radical left? They're not
going to change. Had one left wood give these left
(21:50):
wing TikTok stars applauding this deadly DC shooting, this anti
Semitic shooting, and left wing streamer was suspended from Twitch
after a fall flag comments on DC Jewish Museum shooting.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
It just doesn't stop.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And then you have on top of that, I don't
know if you saw did you see the viral clip
showing Brittany Griner calling Caitlin Clark trash and an effing
white girl.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Court size.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
Sure did, Sure did.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
By the way, Duck Dynasty star, the patriarch, Phil Robertson,
passed away. Our love and prayers go out to that family.
The guy was a trip. Remember when I went to
West Monroe, Louisiana, and I interviewed him, and I interviewed
the family. It was at the height of Duck Dynasty fame.
A couple of great things happened that day. We grilled out,
(22:40):
which was awesome. He lived in a trailer and then
he had a million dollar kitchen that he built for
his wife. You couldn't make that up, miss Kay, and
goes Hannity. You want to get them ratings up, We'll
go back there in the swamp and I'll baptize in
the name of Jesus. I said, I watched your show.
There are alligators in that swamp. I've seen the alligators
(23:01):
on your show. Because yep, you have to show a
little bit of faith going back there to get baptized.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
That's what he said to me. Pretty funny.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
I thought that you enjoyed that doesn't everybody enjoy swimming
in a swamp with a man praising Jesus and some alligators.
I mean, that's really testing your faith.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Boss, listen to I've watched this man. That Bible was
read cover to back cover over and over and over again.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I mean, was he was the real deal?
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Oh no, yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
And you couldn't joke around with him.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
I mean he came in and we were joking. The
one day he goes, I don't joke about the word
of the Lord.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
I'm like, okay, moving on.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Sorry, Yeah, no, he but you know what he was.
He was a good guy. He was very nice to me.
And I know people want to bring up the controversial statements.
Those were just deeply held religious views. And you know what,
I thought liberals like free speech, but apparently not all Right,
back to our phones eight hundred nine four one, Sean,
(23:54):
if you want to be a part of the program.
Jerry in Connecticut, Jerry High, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 9 (23:58):
Hey, Sean. Over the past weekend, we've had a lot
of the acknowledgment of the fifth year anniversary of the
death of George Floyd and as you know, the whole
world saw and heard his dying words, I can't breathe.
But the purpose that I call is to remind your
listeners that at that exact same point in time in
(24:20):
history April May into early June of twenty twenty, thousands
and thousands of people died in Blue state Democrat nursing homes,
where their dying words very mel very well may have
also been I can't breathe. What Andrew Como did to
(24:41):
those people, putting the most infectious people in with the
most vulnerable people is unconscionable. What Rachel Levine did pulling
her mother out of the nursing home before sticking the
COVID infected people in the nursing home is unconscionable.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
But unlike Derek, let me tell you this is going
to play out. You're ready, I'm going to jump to
the conclusion the finale, Andrew Cuomo will be the next
mayor of New York and it won't even be close.
So that's how much people cared about it.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Well, then there's then then it's on them, right. That's
the problem with the democracy is that ultimately the voters
are responsible. So when the next crisis comes, and Andrew
Como finds it convenient to kill off the people who
might be running up the tab for healthcare costs. And
remember before, before they put the sick people in, they
(25:32):
would not let the families in under these the guys
that we don't want to bring the disease in. But
what they're really doing was getting rid of witnesses.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I think it would have been better served if he
was more honest and just said I didn't know, I
didn't understand. But the problem is there were health officials
that were telling him, and he was holding his daily
press conferences, etc. It was a bad time in New York.
I'm telling you I was I lived through it. And
I also think that when President Trump built out the
(26:03):
Jacob Javitt Center and built all these thousands of hospital
beds and brought in a Navy hospital ship, and they
didn't use the resources that were being provided to them,
I think that was a big mistake.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
And I think that.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I mean it was again I go back to I
think he would have been better off had he said
I just didn't know, and even though people were warning him,
he could have. I think he should have owned it
and acknowledged it better. Instead, he was writing a book
about leadership and it became obviously a big controversy, and
I think led to you know, his early demise then
(26:43):
as governor. I remember, Democrats are the ones that kicked
him out. It wasn't Republicans. Republicans have no power in
New York none at all, And it was Democrats that
wanted him out. But now Democrats want him back, and
he will be the next mayor of New York period
and descentence New York City. And I saw Michael Bloomberg
is supporting him, supporting him and raising money for him. Also, oh,
(27:04):
you know, I guess all is forgiven to the minds
of the media.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
When they forbade the family from going into the nursing
homes before they put the COVID positive people in with
the with the vulnerable people, that's a terrible positive. They
knew there would be a problem because they kept healthy
people out, but then they turn around and put sick
people in. So to me, ignorance or lack of good
(27:30):
information is this is malice In my judgment, There is
no oh I didn't know or no one told me
that because you knew he already.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Well, talk to your fellow New Yorkers because they're about
to re elect this guy. All right, quick break right back.
We'll continue. More of your calls coming up eight hundred
and nine polt one Shawn. As we continue, don't forget
our punchlines on Patriots Tour. Tickets available at Hannity dot com,
haul Hannitysocial Media, and it'll be me and Jimmy Faylor.
We have a great night planned in Clearwater, Florida, Saturday,
(28:02):
the twenty eighth of June and Sunday the twenty ninth
in Fort Lauderdale.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Hope you can join.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Us up next our final round up and information overload an.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Hour busy phones Chris and Mississippi. Hey Chris, how are you?
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Hey? Sean? How are you doing? I would also like
to say I'm formerly Chris from New York. I am
now left New York. I am now a Mississippian, and
I'm very grateful for it.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
I happen for you. I bet you. Everybody in Mississippi
says you talk funny.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yes they do. They all call me a yank too, so,
but that's okay. That doesn't bother me. My wife and
I moved down here to be chruck drivers down here
instead of up in New York. But I've got a
question for you, and I don't even know if this
is possible. I would like to see or I would
like to hope that there's some democratic patriot out there
that will come clean with the auto pen the Biden
(29:04):
policies that are absolute disaster, and I wonder is it
even possible for President Trump to offer them a pardon
to come clean because the American people deserve to know
the truth what happened in this absolute disaster is four
years of the Biden administration and a lot of people
that I talked to Sean are really upset about this.
Like the biggest thing they're upset about is how is
(29:26):
his wife running cabinet meetings.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I mean, everybody, anybody that says they didn't know is lying.
I'll start there. Number one, they acted undemocratically. I mean
for even you know, fake Jake Tapper to come out
and say this is it could be a bigger scandal
than Watergate, Well he was a part of it. Well
I didn't know, I didn't see, I had no idea.
(29:52):
I'm not buying what any of these people are saying.
And you know, it's got barnered a lot of attention.
But I can just tell you right now that they
was saying an obvious cover up, and then the question
now becomes who was in charge. I think the answer
will shock everybody when we eventually get to know, and
(30:13):
we will eventually know. That's why I like the idea
Dan Bongino in the FBI and now opening up the
investigation again into the cocaine in the White House, which
ended after ten exhausting days of investigation, and oh, we
have no evidence. I don't believe that either. Anyway, my friend,

All right, thanks scottsch In an hour two Sean Hannity Show,
eight hundred and nine to four one Sean, if you
want to be a part of the program, we watched
in horror as Vladimir Putin rather than take the opportunity
to bring peace to Europe and the region and stop
this onslaught, just decided to just fire at innocent civilians
(00:23):
and take them out. It angered President Trump, who said
that he's gone absolutely crazy, which he's been for some time.
I've always said he's a murdering dictator, thug. And as
a result of all of this, we now have eighty
one Senators that are backing Lindsey Graham's plan, which is
(00:43):
to impose crippling sanctions on Russia. The latest outrage by
Russia will not go unaddressed, gram writing on X Without
China support, Putin's war machine will come to a halt.
Eighty one senators have pledged their support of a bill
to impose sanctions against the Kremlin, as well as a
five hundred percent tariff on imported goods from countries that
(01:07):
buy Russian oil and gas and other products. You know,
one of the reasons, I mean, we see similarities in
both the Middle East with Iran and number one state
sponsor of terror and Putin and Russia. One of the
similarities we see and just this common denominator is both
these countries get rich because of stupidity. Russia was allowed
(01:31):
to get rich because Western European countries were buying up
gas and doing multi billion dollar deals for gas with
Vladimir Putin. That's why Angela Merkel when she was Chancellor,
got the white flag of surrender from then President Trump
for helping to make Russia rich. And that obviously it
enriches their coffers, which results in military spending, which resulted
(01:54):
in the Ukrainian invasion. And so what is ultimately going
to happen here? One of the according to one of
the leading newspapers in Ukraine, Russia's three day bombardment of
Ukrainian cities over the weekend has convinced President Trump to
consider lifting all restrictions on what Ukraine's military can do
with US supplied weapons. And now there's talk of the
(02:15):
Ukrainians going full on and straight for Moscow. Now, there
was one report this weekend that Russian President Vladimir Putin's
helicopter came under Ukrainian fire by some of their drones
in the Kursk region last week, and at least that's
what they're claiming. But the bottom line is this is
(02:37):
now coming to a head and we'll see what happens.
Here's what Jack Keene had to say on Fox that
Putin is targeting civilians to get Trump to back away.
I don't think that's going to work.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, there's no doubt that Russia will do another offensive
this summer. There certain in preparation for that, but I mean,
right in front of us, I think clearly what is
happening is Russia is not going to any peace cease fire,
you know, temporary for thirty days or so, and certainly
not to a permanent one in the near term. They've
(03:10):
been unwilling to make any concessions whatsoever. And I think
the fact that they continue to target civilians and kill civilians,
I believe is Putent's attempt to put more pressure on
the president because the President got involved in stopping this
war largely because of the killing that's taken place, and
he's set of time and time again, and I think
(03:31):
it's very sincere about that, and Putin sees that as
an opportunity to put pressure on the president to get
him to back away. And I think that's what's happening.
And listen, twenty five years we've known Putin, and for
those twenty five years he's been a war criminal and
as targeted civilians. He's doing it right now, as we
see on a daily basis.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Joining us now is Rebecca kauflat Away in on all
of the strategic military intelligence analysts, formerly with the US
Defense and Tel Agency. She put out a best selling
book called Putin's Playbook. You've been pretty accurate so far
that he was going to try and delay and avoid
what I think one day will be inevitable, and that
is Putin is going to have to realize that when
(04:14):
the world turns against him, that it is going to
be a dramatic shift in what it is that Russia
expects the life that they have enjoyed with the support
of the West.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I wish, Sean, I could give you some positive news,
but I make a living by accurately predicting Putin's behavior
based on a very rigorous intelligence analysis. And like you said,
so far, I have had a very strong record. No,
the world is not going to change against Putin. Even today,
(04:46):
as we speak, there are one hundred nations representatives from
security councils.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
All over the world.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I'm meeting in Moscow for a conference that is Russia's
equivalent of Munich, of our Western Munich conference. Putin is
not making concessions despite the predictions of the various experts,
the same ones they called him a warmonger and a criminal.
(05:14):
Somehow they expect Putin to act like a nice guy.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
But now he is.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Not going to end this war in Sanctions are not
going to change his behavior because, in no shape or
form if his decision calculus on the war in Ukraine
is driven by economic concerns. So the best thing for
President Trump right now is to simply walk away. And
(05:44):
I'm afraid he doesn't have good advice from his people
who don't understand how Putin thinks. That simpleton thinks like
a Russian. He doesn't, and so this war isn't well.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
But let's take let's take President Trump out of it
for a second, because he's trying to bring peace of
the region. And let's look at Western Europe for example,
because they continue to import Russian gas and energy and
they're making plut and rich.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
This is their continent.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
This is not our continent, and one has to wonder
why they continue to fund that one percent.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I mean, Ukraine is not part of America's vital interest.
What does it mean? It means that America's security and
long term stability is in no shape or form reliant
on Ukraine. So it's really unclear why before President Trump,
every single President Obama, Bider and going back to Bush Clinton,
(06:42):
why they decided to court Ukraine in Tornato. Ukraine is
a highly corrupt country. It's the number one country in
the world. And so who basically is trying to restore
his strategic security paramater which is similar to our Monroe
doctrine and.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The whole Well, if he's trying to do that, why
don't we go back to the former Soviet Union days
and Poland and Hungary and Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. You know,
why don't we bring back are his territorial ambitions that large?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
No, that's not he That's what Europeans want to want
you to believe that he wants to invade a NATO country.
But Putin is not suicidal. NATO, at least in conventional fence,
holds advantage in combat potential. Putin is waging the war
just below the threshold of triggering US and NATO boots
(07:38):
on the ground in Ukraine. If a Poland were to
be attacked, and even one of the Baltics, then Article
five would be triggered collective defense and Putin is done.
What is happening right now is the.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
European But as part of the settlement, I don't mean
to interrupt you, but this is important to me. As
part of the the negotiated settlement, Ukraine would never be
a part of NATO that he would get to keep Crimea,
which he annexed in twenty fourteen. This war started under
Joe Biden, it didn't start under Donald Trump. Donald Trump
(08:14):
recognizes that certain areas of Ukraine, like the Dombas region,
which is eighty percent Russia national, was likely going to
end up in Plutin Sands anyway. And he seems to
have been offered almost everything that he wants. But yet
this indiscriminate killing of innocent men, women and children continues.
Why and does why does why do European nations, especially
(08:36):
Western European nations, continue to help make Russia rich.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm answering your question, right now, so yes, you absolutely, Coreig.
The war started under Biden and even under Obama because
Obama was pushing really hard for Ukraine to be in NATO.
It would have never started under President Trump. What now
is happening. Not only the Europeans continue to buy energy
(09:03):
in addition to India, China and Turkey, the EU is
also important energy financing putting war machine. But they're also
using Ukrainians as human shields effectively because as Ukrainians are
being killed, and right now more than one million between
the Russians and Ukrainians are killed. That's why President Trump
(09:25):
is really frustrated. So but they're degrading Russian or they
think they are the Europeans instead of paying up increasing
their contributions, they are using Ukrainians, throwing them into putting
meat grinder, hoping to degrade the Russian economy. But they're
now going to degrade the Russian military and economy. Here's why,
(09:47):
because putting transitions in twenty fifteen, his military on a
war time footing and his sanction proved his economy, and
NATO knew that because I personally briefed them. So right
now Russia produces in three months more military hardware than
the entire NATO alliance including the United States, produces in
(10:10):
one year. Think about that, and that's intelligence analysis coming
from NATO Secretary General Mark Rudder. The reason why Putin
is not settling for with President Trump, even though Trump
is promising no NATO membership, is because it's two reasons.
One is there's significant war fighting capability stationed right now
(10:36):
in Ukraine, Western capability including a CIA basis and including
a major NATO combat training center which is about six
miles away from Polish border in the Awards, and Putin
is trying to basically destroy that capability because he doesn't
(10:58):
trust us because he views that Remember Joe Biden, Initially
he was saying, no, we will never allow Ukraine to
strike deep Interrussia, and then he turned around and he
changed his mind. Same with President Trump. And don't get
me wrong, I love President Trump. I'm just because I'm
an intelligency analyst. I am telling you how it is.
(11:18):
I'm not gonna lie to you or your viewers.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
So then President Trump, first he removed intelligence sharing in
military assistance from KIO from Ukraine and then she put
it right back in.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
So for that reason, Putin is simply not believing US.
And it's right out untenable situation and it's not going
to get resolved.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
All right, quick break right back.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
We'll continue more with Rebecca Kaufler on the other side,
author of the best selling book Putin's Playbook, formerly US
Defense Intelligence Agency and strategic military intelligence analysts.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
We continue now.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Rebecca Kaffler is with US she Putin's Playbook, also a
strategic military intelligence analyst formerly with the US Defense Intelligence Agency.
So at this point, you're suggesting that Trump just walk
away from it. But that doesn't solve Europe's problem, and
it doesn't solve NATO's problem. And we're a part of NATO.
(12:18):
And this is why it's been so important that President
Trump insists that these NATO allied nations that they pay
start paying their fair share. I mean, Canada pays about
half what they're supposed to pay, which is what five
percent of GDP. We we pay more than any other
country by far. And again I go back to my point,
this is their continent. They're making Putin rich on the
(12:39):
one hand, they're not building up their defenses on the
other hand, and they're creating a vulnerability that you know
that has not existed since World War Two.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
That's exactly why they've been using US as ponds, the
US tax daya. Not only we have been financing their defense,
but more than a day. And like I said, I
personally told them at the highly classified level in twenty
thirteen what Puten was going to do. And yet only
(13:10):
at that time only eight countries out of thirty two
contributed even two percent. Germany, the richest country, didn't, So
they were using their three month vacations, the free healthcare.
We were financing all of this. So the only reason
I'm saying is we must walk away is to save
us money and reduce the risk of a direct genetic confrontation.
(13:32):
Because look, the same people who spend twenty years in
Afghanistan just telling us, oh, the victory is just around
the corner, and we spent two point two trillion dollars
and six thousand lives only to walk away. And that
military they ave gone some doesn't even have a regular
military for US, And NATO wants to get us into
(13:53):
war with Russia that has six thousand nuclear warheads that
quality and in a variety right now hold advantage over
US weapons. Arsenal, nuclear weapons, Arsenal. It's precisely why prisident
Trump wants us to augment that. So these people are
(14:14):
absolutely delusional. She needs to get better advisors who are
going to tell them the reality and not like using
these sanctions like it's some sort of canna see. It's
like giving us for into a dead person.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
These sanctions unbelievable and these are definitely scary times. Rebecca Kafla,
We appreciate your insight. I hope people are paying attention
because this is this is getting.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Worse by the day.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yes, sir, anytime, eight.

Speaker 6 (15:37):
Robert F.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Kennedy Junior announcing the COVID vaccine has beneficially removed from
the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for healthy kids and pregnant women.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Listen, Hi, everybody, I'm Robert F.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Kennedy Junior, your age age as secretary, and I'm here
today with NIH Director doctor J. Bodicharia and FDA Commissioner
Doctor Marty McCarey. I couldn't be more pleased to announce that,
as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and
healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended
(16:12):
immunization schedule. Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children
to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of
any political data to support the repeat booster strategy in children.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
That ends today. It's common sense, that's good science.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most
countries have stopped recommending it for children. Were now one
step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America
healthy again.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't even want to ask how happy you are?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
You like that?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
There are no words, There are no words.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
No, I'm with you too.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
By the way, this is a fabulous and amazing moment
of truth. We relied to our children were hurt, pregnant
women lost their babies, and now we can finally stop it.
We can protect our children, the unborn and the born,
and stop all the nonsense. It was utter nonsense to
begin with. There wasn't one ounce of science that supported
(17:13):
kids getting this stupid vaccine.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Well, they weren't dying from COVID now. If you go
back to our interviews with Robert Malone, who took a
lot of heat publicly he is the creator of the
mRNA technology. On this very show, and on TV he
said multiple times that this technology was not perfected, that
(17:36):
this was not tested, and he said with that said
he would allow emergency authorization because older people were tended
to be a lot more impacted by COVID than others,
and those with pre existing conditions and comorbidities, etc. He
said he would only allow it for those people that
(17:57):
chose it. He wouldn't have mandated anything, and based on
information and consultation with your doctor, based on your medical history.
And for that he was excoriated. And meanwhile, there wouldn't
have been any shot but for his technology. He didn't
He didn't invent the shot. And he said the idea
that kids get it and younger people get it, and
people without pre existing conditions or care morbidities. I mean,
(18:20):
that should have been everything we needed to hear at
the time. Now we aired it, we aired it regularly,
and nobody wanted to hear it. And all people wanted
to know is what is your status, Hannity, And I'm like,
it's none of your business what my status is.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Go jump in a lake. And then I had another thing.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
It wasn't just about status. It was about control. Every
single person in the world and it didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Work, but there was there was enormous pressure brought to
bear on me on both this show and on the
TV show for me to tell people what to do,
and I wasn't going to do it. I refused and
I and then we brought on people like doctor Malone
and so many others that had very different points of view,
and we were excoriated for that. They paid a price
(19:06):
themselves for doing it. Doctor Oz, by the way, was
one of the people that came on and was very
outspoken about the need for people to be very careful
with this, and he got excoriated for his position. It
really is an unbelievable time historically for all of that
to have happened.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
It really is.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
And I hope, I'll tell you what, I'm looking forward
to Fauncy the fraud actually being brought up on charges
for all that he did because he knew what he did.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Okay, he got a preemptive pardon. It ain't gonna happen.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
Yeah, But if they're signed by autopen then I don't
really think that counts, does it, Sean?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I don't know, But you know what, I don't know
what would prevent states from bringing cases against him. I
mean that happens all the time. They did that to
Trump all the time. Sure, I mean, if we're really
going to hold people accountable, because we went over those emails,
and then if you remember, there were a number of
groups that came out, and there were a number of
caches of emails that came out that showed that they
(20:01):
knew darn well that NIH money went to fund this
Wuhan virology lab, that they knew where they did coronavirus
research and gain of function research, and Fauci himself was
quoted even if it results in a pandemic, I still
support gain of function. I mean, how stupid can you be?
By the way, and he made a lot of money
(20:24):
in the years that ensued. Apparently MPR was trying to
get people to ditch their gas grills this holiday past
holiday weekend. Electric grills are a climate friendly option to
fossil fuel grills. Uh gas is the cleanest burning fuel
(20:45):
that exists. Even know what they're talking about. Anyways, Americans
are gearing up a Memorial Day. MPR decided to have
a beef with how people cook their meat and anyway. Correspondence,
some are grilling usually starts with filling a propane tank
and buying a bag of charcoal. But some people are
ditching these fuels for more climate friendly electrical These people,
(21:06):
you know what I came away with. These people are
never going to stop. They are never going to stop.
Later in the program, at the top of the hour,
we will get into the latest with Laurel Libby, the
state legislator from Maine that won her case and her
role in the main politics with the help of the
Supreme Court ruling in her favor, but she's struggling to
do her job. And female athlete groups are suing Minnesota
(21:29):
officials for allowing boys to compete against girls. That's still
going on, and trans high school track and field dominate
qualifying for California state files finals and multiple events. I mean,
how much is enough with this radical left? They're not
going to change. Had one left wood give these left
(21:50):
wing TikTok stars applauding this deadly DC shooting, this anti
Semitic shooting, and left wing streamer was suspended from Twitch
after a fall flag comments on DC Jewish Museum shooting.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
It just doesn't stop.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And then you have on top of that, I don't
know if you saw did you see the viral clip
showing Brittany Griner calling Caitlin Clark trash and an effing
white girl.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Court size.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
Sure did, Sure did.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
By the way, Duck Dynasty star, the patriarch, Phil Robertson,
passed away. Our love and prayers go out to that family.
The guy was a trip. Remember when I went to
West Monroe, Louisiana, and I interviewed him, and I interviewed
the family. It was at the height of Duck Dynasty fame.
A couple of great things happened that day. We grilled out,
(22:40):
which was awesome. He lived in a trailer and then
he had a million dollar kitchen that he built for
his wife. You couldn't make that up, miss Kay, and
goes Hannity. You want to get them ratings up, We'll
go back there in the swamp and I'll baptize in
the name of Jesus. I said, I watched your show.
There are alligators in that swamp. I've seen the alligators
(23:01):
on your show. Because yep, you have to show a
little bit of faith going back there to get baptized.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
That's what he said to me. Pretty funny.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
I thought that you enjoyed that doesn't everybody enjoy swimming
in a swamp with a man praising Jesus and some alligators.
I mean, that's really testing your faith.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Boss, listen to I've watched this man. That Bible was
read cover to back cover over and over and over again.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I mean, was he was the real deal?
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Oh no, yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
And you couldn't joke around with him.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
I mean he came in and we were joking. The
one day he goes, I don't joke about the word
of the Lord.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
I'm like, okay, moving on.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Sorry, Yeah, no, he but you know what he was.
He was a good guy. He was very nice to me.
And I know people want to bring up the controversial statements.
Those were just deeply held religious views. And you know what,
I thought liberals like free speech, but apparently not all Right,
back to our phones eight hundred nine four one, Sean,
(23:54):
if you want to be a part of the program.
Jerry in Connecticut, Jerry High, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 9 (23:58):
Hey, Sean. Over the past weekend, we've had a lot
of the acknowledgment of the fifth year anniversary of the
death of George Floyd and as you know, the whole
world saw and heard his dying words, I can't breathe.
But the purpose that I call is to remind your
listeners that at that exact same point in time in
(24:20):
history April May into early June of twenty twenty, thousands
and thousands of people died in Blue state Democrat nursing homes,
where their dying words very mel very well may have
also been I can't breathe. What Andrew Como did to
(24:41):
those people, putting the most infectious people in with the
most vulnerable people is unconscionable. What Rachel Levine did pulling
her mother out of the nursing home before sticking the
COVID infected people in the nursing home is unconscionable.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
But unlike Derek, let me tell you this is going
to play out. You're ready, I'm going to jump to
the conclusion the finale, Andrew Cuomo will be the next
mayor of New York and it won't even be close.
So that's how much people cared about it.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Well, then there's then then it's on them, right. That's
the problem with the democracy is that ultimately the voters
are responsible. So when the next crisis comes, and Andrew
Como finds it convenient to kill off the people who
might be running up the tab for healthcare costs. And
remember before, before they put the sick people in, they
(25:32):
would not let the families in under these the guys
that we don't want to bring the disease in. But
what they're really doing was getting rid of witnesses.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I think it would have been better served if he
was more honest and just said I didn't know, I
didn't understand. But the problem is there were health officials
that were telling him, and he was holding his daily
press conferences, etc. It was a bad time in New York.
I'm telling you I was I lived through it. And
I also think that when President Trump built out the
(26:03):
Jacob Javitt Center and built all these thousands of hospital
beds and brought in a Navy hospital ship, and they
didn't use the resources that were being provided to them,
I think that was a big mistake.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
And I think that.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I mean it was again I go back to I
think he would have been better off had he said
I just didn't know, and even though people were warning him,
he could have. I think he should have owned it
and acknowledged it better. Instead, he was writing a book
about leadership and it became obviously a big controversy, and
I think led to you know, his early demise then
(26:43):
as governor. I remember, Democrats are the ones that kicked
him out. It wasn't Republicans. Republicans have no power in
New York none at all, And it was Democrats that
wanted him out. But now Democrats want him back, and
he will be the next mayor of New York period
and descentence New York City. And I saw Michael Bloomberg
is supporting him, supporting him and raising money for him. Also, oh,
(27:04):
you know, I guess all is forgiven to the minds
of the media.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
When they forbade the family from going into the nursing
homes before they put the COVID positive people in with
the with the vulnerable people, that's a terrible positive. They
knew there would be a problem because they kept healthy
people out, but then they turn around and put sick
people in. So to me, ignorance or lack of good
(27:30):
information is this is malice In my judgment, There is
no oh I didn't know or no one told me
that because you knew he already.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Well, talk to your fellow New Yorkers because they're about
to re elect this guy. All right, quick break right back.
We'll continue. More of your calls coming up eight hundred

Speaker 6 (28:06):
Hope you can join.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Us up next our final round up and information overload an.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Hour busy phones Chris and Mississippi. Hey Chris, how are you?
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Hey? Sean? How are you doing? I would also like
to say I'm formerly Chris from New York. I am
now left New York. I am now a Mississippian, and
I'm very grateful for it.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
I happen for you. I bet you. Everybody in Mississippi
says you talk funny.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yes they do. They all call me a yank too, so,
but that's okay. That doesn't bother me. My wife and
I moved down here to be chruck drivers down here
instead of up in New York. But I've got a
question for you, and I don't even know if this
is possible. I would like to see or I would
like to hope that there's some democratic patriot out there
that will come clean with the auto pen the Biden
(29:04):
policies that are absolute disaster, and I wonder is it
even possible for President Trump to offer them a pardon
to come clean because the American people deserve to know
the truth what happened in this absolute disaster is four
years of the Biden administration and a lot of people
that I talked to Sean are really upset about this.
Like the biggest thing they're upset about is how is
(29:26):
his wife running cabinet meetings.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I mean, everybody, anybody that says they didn't know is lying.
I'll start there. Number one, they acted undemocratically. I mean
for even you know, fake Jake Tapper to come out
and say this is it could be a bigger scandal
than Watergate, Well he was a part of it. Well
I didn't know, I didn't see, I had no idea.
(29:52):
I'm not buying what any of these people are saying.
And you know, it's got barnered a lot of attention.
But I can just tell you right now that they
was saying an obvious cover up, and then the question
now becomes who was in charge. I think the answer
will shock everybody when we eventually get to know, and
(30:13):
we will eventually know. That's why I like the idea
Dan Bongino in the FBI and now opening up the
investigation again into the cocaine in the White House, which
ended after ten exhausting days of investigation, and oh, we
have no evidence. I don't believe that either. Anyway, my friend,
appreciate the call, Thank you for being with us. Good
