Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, News round up and information over load hour.
(00:02):
Here's our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of the program. It's eight hundred and
ninety four one Sean if you want to join us.
With the exception of John Fetterman, Democrat Pennsylvania, Linda's Senator,
with the exception of him, most Democrats in the House
and the Senate have been nothing but critics of Donald
(00:23):
Trump taking out Iran's nuclear capability and insisting that Iran
can't have a nuclear weapon. Why they're so shortsighted, I
don't know why they are so naive, I don't know.
I guess they would have preferred that Donald Trump following
the footsteps of the likes of Obama and Joe Biden,
and drop you know, cargo planes full of cash and
(00:46):
other currency on the doorstep of the Supreme Leader and
the Ayatolas and the Mullahs in Iran. But instead Donald
Trump chose to partner with Israel and take all of
these people out. And then when they had their you know,
security council meeting to pick the next Supreme Leader, they
took all those people out, and probably anyone else that
(01:09):
emerges as a potential leader. I would say their life
is in imminent danger. The cut forces leader also now
has been taken out. This is this is a class
to be studied for centuries in terms of the magnitude
(01:29):
of the intelligence and military might of the US and
our partners in Israel in this endeavor. And I can't
think of anything that's been so far more successful. And
I can't think of a more noble cause than preventing
our children and our grandchildren from one day having to
(01:49):
do with a nuclear armed Iran, which is a radical
Islamic fascio state, fascist state that that is, you know,
hell bent on death Israel, death to America. It was
either take it out now while you can, or you
will be held hostage. The world will be held hostage
forever until they eventually likely one day use it all
(02:13):
Because there are a lot of hardliners there. Why is
it that there are so few on the left and
then this little pocket of isolation as lunatics on the
right even that don't understand the existential threat that is
a nuclear arm Durant, I'm having a hard time understanding
their mindset, or why is Hikim Jeffrey saying we're gonna lose.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'm like, oh, you're cheering for us to lose, Sean.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I don't get it either. We are winning. You heard
Caroline Levitt's latest update and I was in that classified
brief last night with General Raisin Kine, with Secretary Rubio,
Secretary hegsas Director Ratcliffe. Look, we've destroyed their navy. We've
now struck more than two thousand targets. We're only in
(03:00):
to day five of this conflict. It's remarkable what's happening, Sean.
We're going to look back at this moment over the
course the next few weeks when we look at history,
President Trump will be rewarded richly. And you said it
very well. We're parents, are four, we're grandparents now of seven.
We're taking the fight now to the Iatolas into this
(03:23):
regime and removing their nuclear capabilities before avenging, they will
take us if you don't get a second chance against Iran.
They weren't on the cusp of building out the nuclear
capabilities as well as their ballistic missile capabilities that would
overwhelm Israel, overwhelm our bases in the Middle East, and
we would have capabilities to hit the homeland. So this
(03:45):
is one of I think that's one of President Trump.
You've got a lot of greatest of all time moments.
I got to put this one on the short list.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I mean, between the intelligence and the precision military operation.
And you know, I've been saying for years the future
wars are not going to be fought on a battlefield.
They're going to be fought in their conditioned offices and
people are going to be pushing buttons, and that's how
war will be fought. And we better be on the
cutting edge of that technology.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I think we.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Already are well on our way, and obviously the Golden
Dome will be a big part of that. To defend
this country against any attack by any other enemy country.
We have a lot of geopolitical foes. But you know,
I've never seen an operation this successful. It starts out
in the first thirty seconds by taking out not just
(04:34):
the Supreme Leader Ali Hamani, but all of his top
forty lieutenants. And then when they have the Supreme Council
meeting to pick his successor, they took out everybody in
that room while they were voting. I would imagine there's
not too many people that really want to line up
to be the next leader.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Of Iran. That's my guess, Sean.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You and I are both old enough to remember the
pre or.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You're older than me, so let's not push it here.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Well, you know, I serve in the Senate, after all,
it's an old place. But I'm you think about forty
seven years of this regime. There have only been two
Ayatolas in forty seven years. The first one that came
to power seventy nine during the revolution, served ten years. Almine,
the Iotola that the Israelis took out on the first
(05:23):
minutes of this campaign, he was there for thirty seven years.
So I think sometimes we might lose perspective around how
significant that initial strike was in terms of their leadership
and command can control. But that was cutting off the
head of the snake. Followed up with this incredible, massive
(05:44):
campaign from the air and has been reported publicly. The
cadence and tempo of what we are doing with the
two most powerful air forces in the world, to quote
General Kine, are the United States and the Israelis. We
now are in full sledge take out their launchers. Has
been said. You move from intercepts on what they shoot
(06:06):
at us to now going after the archers. They say
shoot the archers and we can stop worrying about the
arrows because they're going to take out all of their
ground based missile launch capabilities. This is absolutely when they
want to look back at this one of the greatest
military exercises. You combine what the Delta Force guys did
under President Trump's direction with Maduro in Venezuela with what
(06:28):
they're doing in Iran, it's truly remarkable. And this is
going to be a reset for the world. Imagine a
world where Iran, God willing when the Iranian people rise
up and replace the regime, a world like we had
decades ago, where Iran would be pro West, a signer
perhaps someday of the Abraham Accords. What would that do
(06:49):
for a reset in the Middle East? And what it
also does in terms of the pressure puts on China
and Russia on the overall global chess board. So this
is a moment that again and the President is going
to be rewarded richly by the history books.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
My hope in prayer is is that the end result
of this is peace in the region that we have
not seen in what a thousand years. For crying out loud,
and I think it's going to there is a real possibility,
the president's relationship with Gulf state countries, the president's relationship
with other countries in the region, the president's special relationship
(07:27):
with israel I. Think when this is all said and done,
and hopefully the Iranian people will rise to the occasion
and they will now put in place a democratic republic
and a duly elected leader that is not part of,
you know, some religious, fanatical theocracy, and freedom once again
will flourish. The Persian people in the past have flourished greatly,
(07:50):
and they have been a press since nineteen seventy nine.
And that's my hope, and my hope is is that
there will be peace deals, you know, building upon the Abraham.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Well Sean, you talked about the future of warfare, how
it will be increasingly sophisticated and run from air conditioned offices.
But what's so dangerous about the future with the current
regime in Iran is that over time will combine a
very sophisticated military capabilities with medieval ideologies. That's the danger
(08:24):
with Iran. They're stuck in medieval times with the brutal,
radical Islamic ideology. That is absolutely the most dangerous combination
on the planet, and that is why we had to
act now, because they were on the path to get
nuclear capabilities and at some point Sean we would have
been virtually unable to knock out Iran without having incredible
(08:50):
losses on our side. And so this is why President Trump.
You know, seven presidents have dealt with this. We finally
had a great one there in President Trump, who took
the action. It's not easy to have moral clarity and
to take these make these difficult decisions, but he did it.
And I can tell you something, I'm so proud of him.
I'm so proud of our military Sean as well. They
(09:10):
are just executing virtually flawlessly in this campaign. And our
prayers are with the families who are behind, with their
loved ones in harm's way, to God to protect them.
And we'd be victorious decisively here, sooner versus later.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
What do you say to those people I find breathtaking lee,
naive and even downright stupid that try to make the cases, well,
this is not in America's best interest. It absolutely is
an America's best interest, or you know, this is really
Israel's war that President Trump has been pressured into fighting
Israel's war. I've known Donald Trump for over thirty years.
(09:46):
Donald Trump doesn't take orders from anybody, period end of sentence.
Or the isolationists that would like to put their head
in the sand and not breathe proactive but rather react,
at that point, it's too late. At that point, you're
risking losing you know, millions of not tens of a million,
(10:08):
millions of American lives.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
And I'm like, what.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Part of this are you missing, What part of this
radicalism are you missing? What part of you know, death
to America are you missing?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Sean, When somebody calls the United States of America the
Big Satan and they say death to America, you need
to take that seriously. Look, they call it Israel the
little Satan, they call us the big Satan. We are
the number one target of Iran, of this current regime.
I let me be careful to separate the people of
Iran from this regime. But that is why taking the
(10:41):
fight to him now is absolutely the right thing to do,
because this this will save countless lives over the course
of you know, the future years. Perhaps the next generation
with Iran with a nuclear weapon with intercontinental ballistic capabilities
would literally be able to take the world hostage. And
(11:01):
you know, there as we are seeing in terms of
the RAINYUS capility to fight. They've got some pretty good
ballistic missiles, They've got some pretty good capabilities. It's just
we are far superior. But now we could take them
out with minimal types of collateral damage. Imagine what this
might be like in a few years from now, ten
years from now, you would not be able to repeat
what we're doing right now.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
All right, quick break more with Senator Steve Danes of
Montana on the other side. Then we'll get some more
of your calls coming up. Eight hundred nine to four
one Sean as we continue. We continue now with Montana
Senator Steve Danes is with us. What do you make
of I see that Speaker Johnson announced that he's going
(11:43):
to bring the save back back to the House and
schedule that for a floor vote. And you know, it's
a simple, you know, not no brainer to me. Proof
of citizenship to vote in an American election, voter ID
to vote in an election. But the idea that the
House will will allow this to go forward and even
(12:08):
let the Democrats, you know, have a standing filibuster, I
think is a good idea. I know that in the
Senate they've been reluctant to do that. Where do you
stand on it, Sean?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
In Montana, if you came out, you want to get
a fishing license, You've got to produce a valid ide
at Walmart to get it. You want to shoot a deer,
you got to produce a valid ID to get it.
You want to vote, you should have to produce a
valid idea.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You want to buy a beer in Montana? Do you
need Do you need to have an ID? If you
want to buy a bottle of wine? Do you need
an ID? If you want a jewel pod or a
nicotine pouch? Do you need an ID?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
All of the above? Sean? And that's why it's just
ludicrous the Democrats would fight us on this. This is
a foundational issue of election integrity. The Democrats should join
us these you vote with us and vote for this.
And I relished ability to put Democrats on the record
in terms of being opposed. And the issue is an
(13:07):
eighty twenty for most Americans left or right side of
Teeter Ttter.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
It's an eighty twenty issue. And I don't believe in
these fake filibusters anymore. Now I know what the fear
is in the Senate that, oh, well, if you do that,
you force a real filibuster. Then the Democrats have control
of the floor and they could try to force votes
on issues that they believe they want to put the
Republicans on record on. I would argue to Republicans, you
(13:34):
don't need to show up for those votes. You don't
need to listen to what Chuck Schumer's agenda is.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Well, we generally try to put earplugs in when Chuck
Schumer speaks anyway, But no, I agree. We need to
take this fight, take it to the floor, and we
need to put the Democrats on record, and this is
important one to prevail on.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I totally agree. All right, what kind of fishing do
you do out in Montana? But you know, when I'm
having rough days, I'm thinking maybe a ranch in Montana
would be a good life for me.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Hey, Sean, give me a call. I can show you
some great places. I've had a fly ride in my
hand since I was a little boy.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Now, fly fishing is too much work.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You got to keep casting and casting and casting, and
then I don't know how to cast the right way
and people try to teach me and I suck at it.
Is there any other just regular fishing. I can drop
a line in a body of water and catch something good.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
We can do that, Sean. But let me just tell
you something before you get too quick here to criticize
fly fishing. What we do is put in your drift
boat on a great river like the Yellowstone of the Madison,
and unlike a river runs through when Brad Pitt was
making those massive casts with a stunt double, you just
have to cast about twenty feet in front of you.
It's simple. I've been out with a lot of new
folks in the sport. You'll catch fish, you'll see some
(14:48):
great country, and you'll be hooked on the sport. So
give it a try, Sean. I think you might like
it all right.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I may take you up on I think you're going
to have to teach me how to do it because
I've not been a good student in the past. The
one time I tried it away Steve Daans, Montana. We
do appreciate you, man, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Hey, thanks Sean.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Eight hundred nine.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
One, Shawn is a number you want to be a
part of the program.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Now that we made some money, for our sponsors.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Let's go back to making the liberals crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
The Handman is back on the radio right now.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
All right, twenty five now till the top of the hour,
eight hundred nine one. Shawn, if you want to be
a part of the program health, Wellness, Fitness, Longevity, you
want to be the health these you for twenty twenty
six and beyond. Well, that's where our friend Peter Harris
and his family come in. They have created grain berry cereal.
(16:09):
I want you to do an experiment the next time
you go grocery shopping. I was grocery shopping on Sunday, Londo.
I was there Sunday, and it's terrible.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Free shop by the way, terrible because everybody grocery shops
on Sunday. It's bananas in there.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
No, no, it's empty because I go just before they close.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Okay, you go at night, that's different.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And the other thing.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
The other thing is is they stock up their meats
for the next day, so I get all the new
meat when I go late on Sunday. Very smart on
my part, right, And then I get asked, what are
you doing here?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Isn't it? Does that question not shock you? It shocks me?
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Well, I guess you, because I guess they figure since
you're Keto and you're out doing your ninja all the time,
who could fit in food shopping. But there you are,
in all your glory, your fresh meat.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Well you're the one of the few people that know,
in real life, I am a complete total loser. So
I mean, you could admit that. But while you're there
grocery shopping, look at it. Look at the cereals that
you ate when you were growing up, whatever it was,
I don't frosty flakes brand, raisin brand. Look at how
much sugar or in those cereals. Then you pick up
(17:17):
a box of Grainberry brand flakes, Grainberry raisin brand. They're
honting nut apple, cinnamon, their cinnamon frosted. Then you compare
how much less sugar is in their cereal, and Grainberry
is lower in sugar. It's made with natural plant based
fiber and antioxidants along with their own whole grain on
(17:38):
ex soorgum. Now that that helps slow sugar absorption. The
taste is phenomenal. You're gonna love it, and you can
find it now. It may not even be in your
cereal aisle. It may be in the health food aisle
because it's that much better. And then you can put
cereal back in your diet not worry about all that
sugar you're putting in your body. And the other great
product that Peter Harrison family have is called Linda.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Silver Palette pasta sauce all day, every day.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
No, it's not sauce and it's no sugar added. And
they got great flavors.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Again.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
When you go grocery shopping, look for greenberry Cereal Silver
Palette pasta sauce.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Delicious.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
You're gonna love it, and it's healthier. The official foods
of the Sean Hannity Show. Just to get to some
other news that has been going on, this was a
funny moment today. You had Tim Walls and Keith Ellison
on Capitol Hill getting grilled over fraud and what they
knew and when they knew it. Nancy Mace asking tampon Tim,
(18:42):
what is a woman? Maybe the wrong guy to ask,
but here's how that went down. Governor Walls, what is
a woman? Have you learned that lesson?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Do you know what a woman is?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I'm the governor of Minnesota Country.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
You know I'm not here to be your property obsession.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
What woman is.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You certainly can't define what fraud is. If you can't
even define one a woman is, you can't define fraud.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Well, the problem is this is the same guy that
wanted to put you know, feminine products in boys' bathrooms
in grammar schools. What a dope. All right, let's get
to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine four one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program,
Don in Iowa. Don, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Thanks for being with us, Hi, Sean, thank you for
taking my call.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I'm a longtime truck driver and a marine.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Veteran and sender fire and thanks for what you do
every day. The only reason our store shelves are full
because of you truckers. We appreciate your hard work.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Well, thank you, sir. I appreciate it. I have been
listening to you since the Hannity and Comb's days, so
thank you for helping formulate my opinions on world politics.
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
I was in the Marine Corps during the first hostage
taking at the embassy in seventy nine, and I've actually
have friends that were in that circumstance. I was also
on duty the night that we did the rescue attempt.
I was in CEL communications in a com center, relaying
(20:17):
messages between them and the situation room. So I've got
a little bit more insight onto what's going on. And
I tell you what a lot of liberals don't understand.
This wasn't about liberating the people of Iran. That was
a great unintended consequence. This wasn't just about stopping the nukes,
(20:44):
which Iran has proven that they cannot have any kind
of weapons, because they just launched missiles at everybody just
now because they were being attacked. You know what kind
of responsibility does that show? That shows that they have
absolutely no appreciation for life anywhere. My condolences, by the way,
(21:06):
to the six soldiers and you know, and marines that
were killed recently, five of them I believe, right out
of Des Moines, which is where I enlisted in the
National Guard after my son did in two thousand and two.
You know, it's just that is the price of war,
(21:29):
and it's very unfortunate happened. But again we have stopped
President Trump has stopped nuclear weapons from being in the
hands of an absolute madman. And that was the not
just the biggest thing, it was absolutely essential. He had
to open the straits of horror moves or the world
(21:51):
oil shortage would have been devastating for everybody. We're already
up again over four dollars a gallon, and by the way,
in diesel and gasoline, at least diesel gasoline. I think
is still saying under eup.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
By the way, I'm very sorry about that, because that
means less money in your pocket, and that makes your
job harder. The only thing I can say that maybe
will give you hope. I think this will be temporary.
That's my guess.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It always is with President Trump. He always knows the
right path back to prosperity for us.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
A small price to pay.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
The biggest price came to those six families, and so
I'm willing to pay this small price for all the
freedoms that President Trump has just given on this here
forty seventh year of occupation. That means there are ninety
million people, half of which probably have never seen freedom,
(22:51):
that now have freedom, and hopefully we'll make the right
decisions going forward. Forty five million of them are women
that have never even been able to show their faces
in public liberals listen to that. Think about it. Those
women are free, those children are free to grow up.
(23:12):
Persians are some of the most intelligent mathematicians in the world,
and the world would never get to experience that without
what Donald Trump and Pete Haggs that just did. It
was just a remarkable thing. I have a son in
the Navy, I have a niece in the Army. I
have a grandson in the Marine Corps, all of which
I pray for all the time. And again, I couldn't
(23:36):
tell you how sorry I am for these six families,
but understand that, again, the price of freedom is always high.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
It's so high, it's so awful.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I wish there there was an evil in this world,
but I will tell you a nuclear armed Iran. I mean,
the potential mass death in the millions is great, and
they fought to protect future generations. And that's what this
fight really is about. It's not about us in this moment,
(24:11):
although they could have had them pretty quickly, and God
only knows what they would have done with them. Thank you,
my friend, Thanks for your service. Thanks for what you
do every day. We appreciate you. Michigan Todd is next
on the Sean Hannity Show, Sir, how are you glad
you called?
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Thank you very much, Sean. Thanks to your call streamers
for keeping me apprized of where everything was and keeping
me affirmed of that. And before I start the call,
I just like to ask all your listeners to remember
our war fighters and our leaders in their prayers.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I can't say it any better, because you know what,
they're putting their lives on the line for again future
generations and for a cause to keep America safe and secure,
and we are forever grateful.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Aimen to that. Now, this is going to be a
strange juxtaposition. I listened to you last week talking a
little bit about hypnosis, and with everything going on in
the world, I appreciate you taking the phone call, but
I was just gonna call it. Maybe set a couple
things straight that you were talking about last.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Week, Sean, Oh, right ahead, all right.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
One of the things that you know you were talking
about was the suggestibility test that the hypnotists do, especially
in a stage show or something along those lines, which
you know, having people lock their hands together, one hand
raises up or one hand goes down. Those were all No, that's.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
The actual technique that that is not a susceptibility test,
but that is that is the way that they literally
can take over somebody's mind. And I believe that hypnosis
is real. Do you do you agree or disagree?
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Oh? No, I'm a practitioner of it and I totally agree. However,
where what I disagree with on that is you can't
give too much power to the hypnotist. The hypnotist does
a fantastic job setting things up, making people believe that
that they have the ability to help people change. But
in all the studies that I've done, in the training
(26:10):
that I've had and hypnosis, one of the things that
we always rely on is the fact that all hypnosis
is self hypnosis. In other words, it has to start
with the person. Because if somebody decides they're not going
to be hypnotized, they're not going to be hypnotized.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
So I'm one of them. You can't hypnotize me. You
can't get me.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You couldn't say to me, sit down and me follow
your orders. You couldn't say to me put your hands together.
You couldn't say to me, take your take your I
don't have a watch, I.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Have a whoop. Take your whoop off.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Every one of those those things that I just mentioned,
Those are commands that not requests, and people start getting
hypnotized long before the hypnotist actually gets to the you know,
put your hands together, and you know, upon my word
when I tell you to squeeze your hands, squeeze your hands.
A whole series of things that are setting people up
(27:03):
ahead of time, and the process is long begun before
they begin to actually do follow the actual commands to
lock into hypnosis.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Oh exactly. And I totally agree with you as far
as that goes. And that's what I was going to say.
The power of the hypnotist is the setup, not necessarily
the hypnosis itself, because hypnosis is such an awful word
in some cases, I prefer to kind of think of
it as as guided meditation as opposed to hypnosis.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I view it as differently. I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I think it's actually very dangerous to put to allow
somebody to kind of take a little control of your
mind in any way, and then you have, you know,
hypnosis of the masses. I mean, I think Hitler, Germany
would be a great case in point. I think the
worship of the iranium Mullahs and you'd see people beat
themselves till they were bloody. You know, at these rallies
(27:58):
that these lunatic you know, supreme leaders would have to
prove their loyalty. I think that, you know, to go
out and kill in the name of Hitler, or for
people to have families and their job every day is
to go to work and kill you know, you know,
thousands of people and go home and eat dinner with
(28:18):
your family. You know, there's something really off. But in
the mind of people that don't have a conscience that
interferes with their ability to do something that evil, oh exactly.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
And that's where I say. I mean, you're not going
to go any deeper and you're not going to do
anything under hypnosis that you wouldn't allow yourself to do,
which is where I say the power lies.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
With I actually don't agree with you on that.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Well you know.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
It.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Well, let me give you an example and tell me
if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Okay, go ahead, all right, look a look at the
images we've seen out of let's use Nazi Germany or
you know, these big massive routes that used to take
place in Iran with iotolical Many and now Ali Hamani
and all these people in the crowd just chanting robotically.
(29:11):
You know how much they love their leader and worship
at the altar of their leader. And these leaders then
indoctrinate them into putting bombs and strapping bombs on them,
and promised them seventy two virgins in heaven if they
killed themselves and killed the infidels and kill innocent men,
women and children. You don't think that's mass hypnosis.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
I'm not exactly sure it is. I think, but in
that particular case, it's fanatical religion is what that is.
But you know, you mentioned you mentioned Hitler as an example.
I mean Albert Speer, who was an architect in the
head of munitions for Hitler, did a marvelous job setting
up all the grounds in Nuremberg where all these rallies
(29:52):
took place. And those people that would come were already
susceptible to what was going to be happening to them. However,
they were the ones that were still in control. Sean
and I don't believe it's it's always the hypnotists that's
in control, because the people have to allow themselves to
allow that to happen to them.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Look, I mean, I don't think we're too far apart.
But all I would say to you is it's real
and that people you know, and there's a fear factor,
natural human fear that causes people to conform versus rebel
and maybe they're two sides of the same coin. That's
a different issue for a different day, but very thought provoking, Todd.
(30:37):
I wish I had more time to delve deeper into
it with you. I think I'm gonna do this maybe
on I don't know, we'll do it on a show
one day. Anyway, I appreciate the call. Eight hundred and
nine one, Shawn is a number, and that's going to
wrap things.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Up for today.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Loaded up tonight, Hannity, we'll have the latest on Operation
Epic Fuel. We have Steve Miller, we have Senator Tom Cotton,
Robert O'Brien, Greg Abbott on the Primaries in Texas, Jim
Jordan grilling the living daylights out of Keith Ellison, and
tampon Tim Walls nine Eastern City DVR, Hannity on Fox.
(31:18):
We'll see you then back here tomorrow. Thank you for
making the show possible.
All right, News round up and information over load hour.
(00:02):
Here's our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of the program. It's eight hundred and
ninety four one Sean if you want to join us.
With the exception of John Fetterman, Democrat Pennsylvania, Linda's Senator,
with the exception of him, most Democrats in the House
and the Senate have been nothing but critics of Donald
(00:23):
Trump taking out Iran's nuclear capability and insisting that Iran
can't have a nuclear weapon. Why they're so shortsighted, I
don't know why they are so naive, I don't know.
I guess they would have preferred that Donald Trump following
the footsteps of the likes of Obama and Joe Biden,
and drop you know, cargo planes full of cash and
(00:46):
other currency on the doorstep of the Supreme Leader and
the Ayatolas and the Mullahs in Iran. But instead Donald
Trump chose to partner with Israel and take all of
these people out. And then when they had their you know,
security council meeting to pick the next Supreme Leader, they
took all those people out, and probably anyone else that
(01:09):
emerges as a potential leader. I would say their life
is in imminent danger. The cut forces leader also now
has been taken out. This is this is a class
to be studied for centuries in terms of the magnitude
(01:29):
of the intelligence and military might of the US and
our partners in Israel in this endeavor. And I can't
think of anything that's been so far more successful. And
I can't think of a more noble cause than preventing
our children and our grandchildren from one day having to
(01:49):
do with a nuclear armed Iran, which is a radical
Islamic fascio state, fascist state that that is, you know,
hell bent on death Israel, death to America. It was
either take it out now while you can, or you
will be held hostage. The world will be held hostage
forever until they eventually likely one day use it all
(02:13):
Because there are a lot of hardliners there. Why is
it that there are so few on the left and
then this little pocket of isolation as lunatics on the
right even that don't understand the existential threat that is
a nuclear arm Durant, I'm having a hard time understanding
their mindset, or why is Hikim Jeffrey saying we're gonna lose.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'm like, oh, you're cheering for us to lose, Sean.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I don't get it either. We are winning. You heard
Caroline Levitt's latest update and I was in that classified
brief last night with General Raisin Kine, with Secretary Rubio,
Secretary hegsas Director Ratcliffe. Look, we've destroyed their navy. We've
now struck more than two thousand targets. We're only in
(03:00):
to day five of this conflict. It's remarkable what's happening, Sean.
We're going to look back at this moment over the
course the next few weeks when we look at history,
President Trump will be rewarded richly. And you said it
very well. We're parents, are four, we're grandparents now of seven.
We're taking the fight now to the Iatolas into this
(03:23):
regime and removing their nuclear capabilities before avenging, they will
take us if you don't get a second chance against Iran.
They weren't on the cusp of building out the nuclear
capabilities as well as their ballistic missile capabilities that would
overwhelm Israel, overwhelm our bases in the Middle East, and
we would have capabilities to hit the homeland. So this
(03:45):
is one of I think that's one of President Trump.
You've got a lot of greatest of all time moments.
I got to put this one on the short list.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I mean, between the intelligence and the precision military operation.
And you know, I've been saying for years the future
wars are not going to be fought on a battlefield.
They're going to be fought in their conditioned offices and
people are going to be pushing buttons, and that's how
war will be fought. And we better be on the
cutting edge of that technology.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I think we.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Already are well on our way, and obviously the Golden
Dome will be a big part of that. To defend
this country against any attack by any other enemy country.
We have a lot of geopolitical foes. But you know,
I've never seen an operation this successful. It starts out
in the first thirty seconds by taking out not just
(04:34):
the Supreme Leader Ali Hamani, but all of his top
forty lieutenants. And then when they have the Supreme Council
meeting to pick his successor, they took out everybody in
that room while they were voting. I would imagine there's
not too many people that really want to line up
to be the next leader.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Of Iran. That's my guess, Sean.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You and I are both old enough to remember the
pre or.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You're older than me, so let's not push it here.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Well, you know, I serve in the Senate, after all,
it's an old place. But I'm you think about forty
seven years of this regime. There have only been two
Ayatolas in forty seven years. The first one that came
to power seventy nine during the revolution, served ten years. Almine,
the Iotola that the Israelis took out on the first
(05:23):
minutes of this campaign, he was there for thirty seven years.
So I think sometimes we might lose perspective around how
significant that initial strike was in terms of their leadership
and command can control. But that was cutting off the
head of the snake. Followed up with this incredible, massive
(05:44):
campaign from the air and has been reported publicly. The
cadence and tempo of what we are doing with the
two most powerful air forces in the world, to quote
General Kine, are the United States and the Israelis. We
now are in full sledge take out their launchers. Has
been said. You move from intercepts on what they shoot
(06:06):
at us to now going after the archers. They say
shoot the archers and we can stop worrying about the
arrows because they're going to take out all of their
ground based missile launch capabilities. This is absolutely when they
want to look back at this one of the greatest
military exercises. You combine what the Delta Force guys did
under President Trump's direction with Maduro in Venezuela with what
(06:28):
they're doing in Iran, it's truly remarkable. And this is
going to be a reset for the world. Imagine a
world where Iran, God willing when the Iranian people rise
up and replace the regime, a world like we had
decades ago, where Iran would be pro West, a signer
perhaps someday of the Abraham Accords. What would that do
(06:49):
for a reset in the Middle East? And what it
also does in terms of the pressure puts on China
and Russia on the overall global chess board. So this
is a moment that again and the President is going
to be rewarded richly by the history books.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
My hope in prayer is is that the end result
of this is peace in the region that we have
not seen in what a thousand years. For crying out loud,
and I think it's going to there is a real possibility,
the president's relationship with Gulf state countries, the president's relationship
with other countries in the region, the president's special relationship
(07:27):
with israel I. Think when this is all said and done,
and hopefully the Iranian people will rise to the occasion
and they will now put in place a democratic republic
and a duly elected leader that is not part of,
you know, some religious, fanatical theocracy, and freedom once again
will flourish. The Persian people in the past have flourished greatly,
(07:50):
and they have been a press since nineteen seventy nine.
And that's my hope, and my hope is is that
there will be peace deals, you know, building upon the Abraham.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Well Sean, you talked about the future of warfare, how
it will be increasingly sophisticated and run from air conditioned offices.
But what's so dangerous about the future with the current
regime in Iran is that over time will combine a
very sophisticated military capabilities with medieval ideologies. That's the danger
(08:24):
with Iran. They're stuck in medieval times with the brutal,
radical Islamic ideology. That is absolutely the most dangerous combination
on the planet, and that is why we had to
act now, because they were on the path to get
nuclear capabilities and at some point Sean we would have
been virtually unable to knock out Iran without having incredible
(08:50):
losses on our side. And so this is why President Trump.
You know, seven presidents have dealt with this. We finally
had a great one there in President Trump, who took
the action. It's not easy to have moral clarity and
to take these make these difficult decisions, but he did it.
And I can tell you something, I'm so proud of him.
I'm so proud of our military Sean as well. They
(09:10):
are just executing virtually flawlessly in this campaign. And our
prayers are with the families who are behind, with their
loved ones in harm's way, to God to protect them.
And we'd be victorious decisively here, sooner versus later.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
What do you say to those people I find breathtaking lee,
naive and even downright stupid that try to make the cases, well,
this is not in America's best interest. It absolutely is
an America's best interest, or you know, this is really
Israel's war that President Trump has been pressured into fighting
Israel's war. I've known Donald Trump for over thirty years.
(09:46):
Donald Trump doesn't take orders from anybody, period end of sentence.
Or the isolationists that would like to put their head
in the sand and not breathe proactive but rather react,
at that point, it's too late. At that point, you're
risking losing you know, millions of not tens of a million,
(10:08):
millions of American lives.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
And I'm like, what.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Part of this are you missing, What part of this
radicalism are you missing? What part of you know, death
to America are you missing?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Sean, When somebody calls the United States of America the
Big Satan and they say death to America, you need
to take that seriously. Look, they call it Israel the
little Satan, they call us the big Satan. We are
the number one target of Iran, of this current regime.
I let me be careful to separate the people of
Iran from this regime. But that is why taking the
(10:41):
fight to him now is absolutely the right thing to do,
because this this will save countless lives over the course
of you know, the future years. Perhaps the next generation
with Iran with a nuclear weapon with intercontinental ballistic capabilities
would literally be able to take the world hostage. And
(11:01):
you know, there as we are seeing in terms of
the RAINYUS capility to fight. They've got some pretty good
ballistic missiles, They've got some pretty good capabilities. It's just
we are far superior. But now we could take them
out with minimal types of collateral damage. Imagine what this
might be like in a few years from now, ten
years from now, you would not be able to repeat
what we're doing right now.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
All right, quick break more with Senator Steve Danes of
Montana on the other side. Then we'll get some more
of your calls coming up. Eight hundred nine to four
one Sean as we continue. We continue now with Montana
Senator Steve Danes is with us. What do you make
of I see that Speaker Johnson announced that he's going
(11:43):
to bring the save back back to the House and
schedule that for a floor vote. And you know, it's
a simple, you know, not no brainer to me. Proof
of citizenship to vote in an American election, voter ID
to vote in an election. But the idea that the
House will will allow this to go forward and even
(12:08):
let the Democrats, you know, have a standing filibuster, I
think is a good idea. I know that in the
Senate they've been reluctant to do that. Where do you
stand on it, Sean?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
In Montana, if you came out, you want to get
a fishing license, You've got to produce a valid ide
at Walmart to get it. You want to shoot a deer,
you got to produce a valid ID to get it.
You want to vote, you should have to produce a
valid idea.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You want to buy a beer in Montana? Do you
need Do you need to have an ID? If you
want to buy a bottle of wine? Do you need
an ID? If you want a jewel pod or a
nicotine pouch? Do you need an ID?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
All of the above? Sean? And that's why it's just
ludicrous the Democrats would fight us on this. This is
a foundational issue of election integrity. The Democrats should join
us these you vote with us and vote for this.
And I relished ability to put Democrats on the record
in terms of being opposed. And the issue is an
(13:07):
eighty twenty for most Americans left or right side of
Teeter Ttter.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
It's an eighty twenty issue. And I don't believe in
these fake filibusters anymore. Now I know what the fear
is in the Senate that, oh, well, if you do that,
you force a real filibuster. Then the Democrats have control
of the floor and they could try to force votes
on issues that they believe they want to put the
Republicans on record on. I would argue to Republicans, you
(13:34):
don't need to show up for those votes. You don't
need to listen to what Chuck Schumer's agenda is.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Well, we generally try to put earplugs in when Chuck
Schumer speaks anyway, But no, I agree. We need to
take this fight, take it to the floor, and we
need to put the Democrats on record, and this is
important one to prevail on.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I totally agree. All right, what kind of fishing do
you do out in Montana? But you know, when I'm
having rough days, I'm thinking maybe a ranch in Montana
would be a good life for me.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Hey, Sean, give me a call. I can show you
some great places. I've had a fly ride in my
hand since I was a little boy.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Now, fly fishing is too much work.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You got to keep casting and casting and casting, and
then I don't know how to cast the right way
and people try to teach me and I suck at it.
Is there any other just regular fishing. I can drop
a line in a body of water and catch something good.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
We can do that, Sean. But let me just tell
you something before you get too quick here to criticize
fly fishing. What we do is put in your drift
boat on a great river like the Yellowstone of the Madison,
and unlike a river runs through when Brad Pitt was
making those massive casts with a stunt double, you just
have to cast about twenty feet in front of you.
It's simple. I've been out with a lot of new
folks in the sport. You'll catch fish, you'll see some
(14:48):
great country, and you'll be hooked on the sport. So
give it a try, Sean. I think you might like
it all right.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I may take you up on I think you're going
to have to teach me how to do it because
I've not been a good student in the past. The
one time I tried it away Steve Daans, Montana. We
do appreciate you, man, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Hey, thanks Sean.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Eight hundred nine.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
One, Shawn is a number you want to be a
part of the program.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Now that we made some money, for our sponsors.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Let's go back to making the liberals crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
The Handman is back on the radio right now.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
All right, twenty five now till the top of the hour,
eight hundred nine one. Shawn, if you want to be
a part of the program health, Wellness, Fitness, Longevity, you
want to be the health these you for twenty twenty
six and beyond. Well, that's where our friend Peter Harris
and his family come in. They have created grain berry cereal.
(16:09):
I want you to do an experiment the next time
you go grocery shopping. I was grocery shopping on Sunday, Londo.
I was there Sunday, and it's terrible.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Free shop by the way, terrible because everybody grocery shops
on Sunday. It's bananas in there.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
No, no, it's empty because I go just before they close.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Okay, you go at night, that's different.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And the other thing.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
The other thing is is they stock up their meats
for the next day, so I get all the new
meat when I go late on Sunday. Very smart on
my part, right, And then I get asked, what are
you doing here?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Isn't it? Does that question not shock you? It shocks me?
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Well, I guess you, because I guess they figure since
you're Keto and you're out doing your ninja all the time,
who could fit in food shopping. But there you are,
in all your glory, your fresh meat.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Well you're the one of the few people that know,
in real life, I am a complete total loser. So
I mean, you could admit that. But while you're there
grocery shopping, look at it. Look at the cereals that
you ate when you were growing up, whatever it was,
I don't frosty flakes brand, raisin brand. Look at how
much sugar or in those cereals. Then you pick up
(17:17):
a box of Grainberry brand flakes, Grainberry raisin brand. They're
honting nut apple, cinnamon, their cinnamon frosted. Then you compare
how much less sugar is in their cereal, and Grainberry
is lower in sugar. It's made with natural plant based
fiber and antioxidants along with their own whole grain on
(17:38):
ex soorgum. Now that that helps slow sugar absorption. The
taste is phenomenal. You're gonna love it, and you can
find it now. It may not even be in your
cereal aisle. It may be in the health food aisle
because it's that much better. And then you can put
cereal back in your diet not worry about all that
sugar you're putting in your body. And the other great
product that Peter Harrison family have is called Linda.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Silver Palette pasta sauce all day, every day.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
No, it's not sauce and it's no sugar added. And
they got great flavors.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Again.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
When you go grocery shopping, look for greenberry Cereal Silver
Palette pasta sauce.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Delicious.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
You're gonna love it, and it's healthier. The official foods
of the Sean Hannity Show. Just to get to some
other news that has been going on, this was a
funny moment today. You had Tim Walls and Keith Ellison
on Capitol Hill getting grilled over fraud and what they
knew and when they knew it. Nancy Mace asking tampon Tim,
(18:42):
what is a woman? Maybe the wrong guy to ask,
but here's how that went down. Governor Walls, what is
a woman? Have you learned that lesson?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Do you know what a woman is?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I'm the governor of Minnesota Country.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
You know I'm not here to be your property obsession.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
What woman is.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You certainly can't define what fraud is. If you can't
even define one a woman is, you can't define fraud.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Well, the problem is this is the same guy that
wanted to put you know, feminine products in boys' bathrooms
in grammar schools. What a dope. All right, let's get
to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine four one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program,
Don in Iowa. Don, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Thanks for being with us, Hi, Sean, thank you for
taking my call.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I'm a longtime truck driver and a marine.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Veteran and sender fire and thanks for what you do
every day. The only reason our store shelves are full
because of you truckers. We appreciate your hard work.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Well, thank you, sir. I appreciate it. I have been
listening to you since the Hannity and Comb's days, so
thank you for helping formulate my opinions on world politics.
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
I was in the Marine Corps during the first hostage
taking at the embassy in seventy nine, and I've actually
have friends that were in that circumstance. I was also
on duty the night that we did the rescue attempt.
I was in CEL communications in a com center, relaying
(20:17):
messages between them and the situation room. So I've got
a little bit more insight onto what's going on. And
I tell you what a lot of liberals don't understand.
This wasn't about liberating the people of Iran. That was
a great unintended consequence. This wasn't just about stopping the nukes,
(20:44):
which Iran has proven that they cannot have any kind
of weapons, because they just launched missiles at everybody just
now because they were being attacked. You know what kind
of responsibility does that show? That shows that they have
absolutely no appreciation for life anywhere. My condolences, by the way,
(21:06):
to the six soldiers and you know, and marines that
were killed recently, five of them I believe, right out
of Des Moines, which is where I enlisted in the
National Guard after my son did in two thousand and two.
You know, it's just that is the price of war,
(21:29):
and it's very unfortunate happened. But again we have stopped
President Trump has stopped nuclear weapons from being in the
hands of an absolute madman. And that was the not
just the biggest thing, it was absolutely essential. He had
to open the straits of horror moves or the world
(21:51):
oil shortage would have been devastating for everybody. We're already
up again over four dollars a gallon, and by the way,
in diesel and gasoline, at least diesel gasoline. I think
is still saying under eup.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
By the way, I'm very sorry about that, because that
means less money in your pocket, and that makes your
job harder. The only thing I can say that maybe
will give you hope. I think this will be temporary.
That's my guess.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It always is with President Trump. He always knows the
right path back to prosperity for us.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
A small price to pay.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
The biggest price came to those six families, and so
I'm willing to pay this small price for all the
freedoms that President Trump has just given on this here
forty seventh year of occupation. That means there are ninety
million people, half of which probably have never seen freedom,
(22:51):
that now have freedom, and hopefully we'll make the right
decisions going forward. Forty five million of them are women
that have never even been able to show their faces
in public liberals listen to that. Think about it. Those
women are free, those children are free to grow up.
(23:12):
Persians are some of the most intelligent mathematicians in the world,
and the world would never get to experience that without
what Donald Trump and Pete Haggs that just did. It
was just a remarkable thing. I have a son in
the Navy, I have a niece in the Army. I
have a grandson in the Marine Corps, all of which
I pray for all the time. And again, I couldn't
(23:36):
tell you how sorry I am for these six families,
but understand that, again, the price of freedom is always high.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
It's so high, it's so awful.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I wish there there was an evil in this world,
but I will tell you a nuclear armed Iran. I mean,
the potential mass death in the millions is great, and
they fought to protect future generations. And that's what this
fight really is about. It's not about us in this moment,
(24:11):
although they could have had them pretty quickly, and God
only knows what they would have done with them. Thank you,
my friend, Thanks for your service. Thanks for what you
do every day. We appreciate you. Michigan Todd is next
on the Sean Hannity Show, Sir, how are you glad
you called?
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Thank you very much, Sean. Thanks to your call streamers
for keeping me apprized of where everything was and keeping
me affirmed of that. And before I start the call,
I just like to ask all your listeners to remember
our war fighters and our leaders in their prayers.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I can't say it any better, because you know what,
they're putting their lives on the line for again future
generations and for a cause to keep America safe and secure,
and we are forever grateful.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Aimen to that. Now, this is going to be a
strange juxtaposition. I listened to you last week talking a
little bit about hypnosis, and with everything going on in
the world, I appreciate you taking the phone call, but
I was just gonna call it. Maybe set a couple
things straight that you were talking about last.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Week, Sean, Oh, right ahead, all right.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
One of the things that you know you were talking
about was the suggestibility test that the hypnotists do, especially
in a stage show or something along those lines, which
you know, having people lock their hands together, one hand
raises up or one hand goes down. Those were all No, that's.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
The actual technique that that is not a susceptibility test,
but that is that is the way that they literally
can take over somebody's mind. And I believe that hypnosis
is real. Do you do you agree or disagree?
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Oh? No, I'm a practitioner of it and I totally agree. However,
where what I disagree with on that is you can't
give too much power to the hypnotist. The hypnotist does
a fantastic job setting things up, making people believe that
that they have the ability to help people change. But
in all the studies that I've done, in the training
(26:10):
that I've had and hypnosis, one of the things that
we always rely on is the fact that all hypnosis
is self hypnosis. In other words, it has to start
with the person. Because if somebody decides they're not going
to be hypnotized, they're not going to be hypnotized.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
So I'm one of them. You can't hypnotize me. You
can't get me.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You couldn't say to me, sit down and me follow
your orders. You couldn't say to me put your hands together.
You couldn't say to me, take your take your I
don't have a watch, I.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Have a whoop. Take your whoop off.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Every one of those those things that I just mentioned,
Those are commands that not requests, and people start getting
hypnotized long before the hypnotist actually gets to the you know,
put your hands together, and you know, upon my word
when I tell you to squeeze your hands, squeeze your hands.
A whole series of things that are setting people up
(27:03):
ahead of time, and the process is long begun before
they begin to actually do follow the actual commands to
lock into hypnosis.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Oh exactly. And I totally agree with you as far
as that goes. And that's what I was going to say.
The power of the hypnotist is the setup, not necessarily
the hypnosis itself, because hypnosis is such an awful word
in some cases, I prefer to kind of think of
it as as guided meditation as opposed to hypnosis.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I view it as differently. I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I think it's actually very dangerous to put to allow
somebody to kind of take a little control of your
mind in any way, and then you have, you know,
hypnosis of the masses. I mean, I think Hitler, Germany
would be a great case in point. I think the
worship of the iranium Mullahs and you'd see people beat
themselves till they were bloody. You know, at these rallies
(27:58):
that these lunatic you know, supreme leaders would have to
prove their loyalty. I think that, you know, to go
out and kill in the name of Hitler, or for
people to have families and their job every day is
to go to work and kill you know, you know,
thousands of people and go home and eat dinner with
(28:18):
your family. You know, there's something really off. But in
the mind of people that don't have a conscience that
interferes with their ability to do something that evil, oh exactly.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
And that's where I say. I mean, you're not going
to go any deeper and you're not going to do
anything under hypnosis that you wouldn't allow yourself to do,
which is where I say the power lies.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
With I actually don't agree with you on that.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Well you know.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
It.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Well, let me give you an example and tell me
if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Okay, go ahead, all right, look a look at the
images we've seen out of let's use Nazi Germany or
you know, these big massive routes that used to take
place in Iran with iotolical Many and now Ali Hamani
and all these people in the crowd just chanting robotically.
(29:11):
You know how much they love their leader and worship
at the altar of their leader. And these leaders then
indoctrinate them into putting bombs and strapping bombs on them,
and promised them seventy two virgins in heaven if they
killed themselves and killed the infidels and kill innocent men,
women and children. You don't think that's mass hypnosis.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
I'm not exactly sure it is. I think, but in
that particular case, it's fanatical religion is what that is.
But you know, you mentioned you mentioned Hitler as an example.
I mean Albert Speer, who was an architect in the
head of munitions for Hitler, did a marvelous job setting
up all the grounds in Nuremberg where all these rallies
(29:52):
took place. And those people that would come were already
susceptible to what was going to be happening to them. However,
they were the ones that were still in control. Sean
and I don't believe it's it's always the hypnotists that's
in control, because the people have to allow themselves to
allow that to happen to them.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Look, I mean, I don't think we're too far apart.
But all I would say to you is it's real
and that people you know, and there's a fear factor,
natural human fear that causes people to conform versus rebel
and maybe they're two sides of the same coin. That's
a different issue for a different day, but very thought provoking, Todd.
(30:37):
I wish I had more time to delve deeper into
it with you. I think I'm gonna do this maybe
on I don't know, we'll do it on a show
one day. Anyway, I appreciate the call. Eight hundred and
nine one, Shawn is a number, and that's going to
wrap things.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
