In the final hour, Sean Hannity continues his focus on Iran and speaks with Ambassador Nathan Sales about the U.S. Navy escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, the risks of Iranian retaliation, and the leverage created by economic pressure. Sales explains that Iran’s divided leadership, shrinking oil revenue, and weakening economy could force the regime toward negotiation, but he warns that the situation remains fluid and dangerous. Hannity also takes listener calls on energy prices, Iranian resistance, and whether the Iranian people can realistically challenge the regime. Later, the hour shifts to domestic politics, with Hannity criticizing wealth taxes, high-tax states, New York leadership, Seattle’s political direction, and the continued migration of wealthy individuals and businesses to Florida.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right news round up in Information Overload Hour. Here's our
toll free telephone number this Monday. It is eight hundred
and nine fourt one, Shawn. If you want to be
a part of the program.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
The President now is taking the events and Iran to
the next level. The US Navy escorting ships through the
Strait of Ormuz. Is it risky?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I think the President's plan B is to obliterate them.
I do.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Will the Iranians fall into the trap, We'll see. Only
time will tell. But as the President rightly has been saying,
the Iranians are fighting themselves more than they're fighting anybody else.
And there has not been one group of leadership to
emerge to actually have a real negotiation with Here's what
he said.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
We're doing everything in terms of negotiating right now. In
terms of the negotiation telephonically, they've made strides, but I'm
not sure if they ever get there. Tremendous discord, this
tremendous having a tremendous problem getting along with each other
(01:05):
in Iran. The leadership is very disjointed. It's got two
to three groups, maybe four, and it's a very disjointed leadership.
And with that being said, they all want to make
a deal, but they're all messed up.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's pretty messed up anyway. Here to analyze what's going
to happen next, we have Ambassador Nathan Sales. Now, he
did serve in the first Trump administration as the Ambassador
at Large for counter Terrorism and acting under Secretary of State.
I understand what the President is doing. I understand the
situation he's dealing with. I understand also because I had
(01:42):
the conversation with him, that he can obliterate them in
fifteen minutes or less, so that option always remains on
the table. However, I get a little nervous when American
ships are escorting other ships through the Straight of Horn moves,
knowing the short distance at its narrowest point is what
twenty four miles something like that.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yesom, thanks for having me on. The situation today is
obviously very fluid. The US announced that we were going
to be reopening the Straight and working with commercial shipping
companies to reduce the risk that their cargoes and cruise face.
We're also seeing Iran lashing out. Who and Iran it's
actually not clear who's responsible for making these decisions to
(02:25):
attack ships in the Gulf and to launch drones at
the United Arab Emirates or these rogue commanders on the
front lines who have taken matters into their own hands,
or is this a strategic decision that's made by leadership,
such as it is leadership that's remaining in Tehran. So
we've got to watch the situation very very closely. I
think the overall picture here, what the President is trying
(02:48):
to do is maximize his leverage over the Iranian regime,
using all of the instruments of the American power, diplomatic, economic,
and military, to coerce the Mulas to the table to
get a good deal. It looked yesterday as though we
were starting to see some progress. The Iranians were starting
to say, okay, well maybe we'll give up nuclear Enrichmond
(03:08):
for fifteen years. Previously they only said five. Now fifteen
is still way too short. But the fact that they
were willing to move a little bit in the right
direction suggest that they were starting to feel the heat
of the economic blockade. So there's a lot of moving
parts here. Let's watch the situation very.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Carefully, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Scott Besson said we're suffocating them economically and they're not
able to pay their soldiers. He's also saying that Iran
has gotten a pittance of hormones. Holes they're losing, we're told,
between four and five hundred million dollars a day, and
their ability to store the oil that they are currently
(03:45):
pumping is running out very quickly, which would mean they'd
have to cap those oil wells, which would mean if
they ever do reopen them, probably they'd be at best
fifty to sixty percent capacity of where they are today.
Not a good option for them, No.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Not at all. And that's really the economic leverage that
the United States has over Iran right now. We have
their economy, and a vice script, so much of their
economic strength, or such as it is, is dependent on
oil revenues. If you turn that off, their economy craters.
And their economy is not in great shape to begin with.
They've been mismanaged for forty years, fifty years, they faced
(04:23):
decades of American sanctions pressure. The war has completely obliterated
their industrial base, and so their ability to weather economic
storms like we unleashed with this blockade is very, very limited,
and so it's ultimately a question of who's going to
blink first. The Iranians think they can outlast the United States,
and President Trump is looking at their fragile economy and saying,
(04:46):
I've got all the cards. I've got all the time.
So that's the question is over the next couple of weeks,
is the Iranian regime going to continue to feel that
economic pressure and ultimately blink and come to the table
for a good deal.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
What is your best Yes, I mean, at this point,
we don't even know who's in charge. I know that
they are fighting for the leadership role. They seem to
have no concern at all about any impact on the
Iranian people. The one thing that I wish has happened
and they've not been able to accomplish it at this point,
and maybe they will be able to accomplish it, is
arming the Iranian people.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, the Iranian regime has no regard for the Iranian people.
The Iranian people have been victimized by this regime for
the past fifty some years, and most recently they killed
about forty thousand of them. So American pressure on the
regime has to be to impose costs that actually matter
to the regime, not costs that are going to be
born by the Iranian people, And that's why I'm glad
(05:43):
that the President moved off as into earlier threats to
target a lot of Iranian energy infrastructure and transportation infrastructure.
That's going to disproportionately hurt the people of Iran. And
if you ask the leaders in Tehran whether they care,
the answer is going to be a big, fat no.
What they care about out is regime continuity. They care
about their abilities.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But they can say they don't care. But at that
point then their days are numbered. I mean things are
already bad enough. Half their workforce is out of work.
Reports are that the IRGC is not getting paid, Reports
are their currency is down to zero, reports of a
two hundred percent inflation rate, reports of food and shortages
(06:24):
of other goods and services. So the Iranian people and
if they're not paying the Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces, they're
going to start to rebel too.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, that's a real risk that the leaders have to
worry about in Tehran because the economic pressure we're applying
directed at regime targets can create fissures within the regime,
can create factions. It's a smart way to exploit divisions
within the regime and cause them to turn against one
another and another thing that happens is if you're squeezing
the pocketbooks of the revolutionary guard core and they're not
(06:56):
getting paid Sean, as you said, maybe they start to
consider alternatives. Maybe not leaders who are super ideological and
committed to shea revolutionaryism around the world, But what about
the rank and file who saw, now you know, this
might be a good way to get ahead in life
and make a good buck. Those folks who are more
monetarily motivated, maybe the loss of the paycheck causes them
(07:17):
to consider alternatives.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
What about these other countries that are way more dependent
on the Straight of Horror moves than we are. We're
not dependent on the Straight being open at all. I mean,
why does France and Western European countries that do rely
on energy coming out of the Straight, why don't they
get involved?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, I'd like to see more from our European friends.
They get about twenty five percent of their energy. I
think from the Straight of Horror moves we get about
ten or less. So the Europeans certainly have skin in
the game. Now, the Brits have talked about a maritime
coalition to keep the Straight open. I think that's valuable.
I think we should encourage that and be grateful for it.
All that said, it would be nice to see more
(07:56):
effort and to see it sooner so that it comes
at a time when it actually matters the most, which
is right now when the Iranians are taking shots at
a Korean ship and Amorat ship. And it's not just
the Europeans who we'd like to see stand up and
be counted. The golf partners of ours have a huge
economic interest in continuing to be able to export through
the Strait, and our Asian friends South Korea, Japan and
(08:18):
others have a huge interest in being able to import oil.
So we'd like to see some help from those guys
as well.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
With China and all of this, because they get a
lot of their oil through that straight Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And China has really been a huge beneficiary of Iranian
oil over the past number of years because the Iranians
have a hard time selling it on the open market
thanks to American sanctions, but the Chinese Communist Party is
perfectly happy to take a discount. China and iran are
inextricably linked. They have economic ties, they increasingly have military ties.
(08:49):
A lot of the military equipment that our forces were
able to go in and destroy during the opening hours
and days of the campaign. We're Chinese, so we have
to want under whether Shijin Ping has a lot of
confidence in the ability of his equipment to withstand American
military might. But what we need to do is try
and separate China as much as we can from Iran.
(09:11):
Don't provide them intelligence information, don't provide them with dual
use capabilities that could be used for military purposes, and
Iran certainly don't provide them with weapons. I have to
imagine that that's the key message that the President and
his team are delivering Decision Ping in advance of a
meeting in the upcoming weeks or months.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I think it's probably next week. I'm scheduled to go myself,
so I might be there. Wish me luck getting in
and out of China.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
If I go, don't.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I am on Air Force one, so I should be
fairly protected. I'm hoping, but you never know. But it
is China. But the Iranians have been getting help from
the Chinese, from the Russians and the North Koreans. That's
where a lot of their weaponry came from. Now, if
I'm China and I'm Russia and I'm North Korea, and
I watched the obliteration of all of our missile defense system,
(09:59):
ballistic system, air defense systems, and nuclear systems that I'm
sure they assisted with. What are they thinking at this point?
Are they thinking, Wow, we underestimated America's military might.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I think the overwhelming dominance of the American military in
this campaign is going to send a clear deterrent signal
to Russia and a clear deterrent signal to China. How
confident is Russia about in the future, God forbid taking
a fight with NATO, not just Ukraine, but actually fighting
against NATO. When you've seen what American military capabilities look
(10:34):
like in Iran, I'm.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Not sure NATO's going to exist when this is all
said and done.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Right, Well, you know, the eastern front country is poland
the ball the Romanians. These guys are super committed to
the alliance, and they're putting their money where their mouth
is because they realize that it's on them first and
foremost to descend their homelands against the Russian threats.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
And so see.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But I could see us going into bilateral negotiations and
agreements with those countries that have been loyal and have
been supportive and basically saying goodbye to Spain and France,
maybe even Great Britain Italy that have not been supportive,
that have frankly undermined our efforts.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, there's a lot of Western European countries that have
yet to get true religion. Spain it is at the
top of the list. Spain has said they're not going
to spend the requisite five percent of gross domestic product
on military spending, and the reason is because we choose
not to make this sacrifice. I think that's a direct
quote from Pedro Sanchez, the leader of Spain. And when
(11:36):
an American here is that, what they think is, well,
why should we make a sacrifice for Spain if the
Spanish are not going to make a sacrifice to defend
their own country. So that's not I.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Don't think, I don't think we should do you.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, well, no, I mean NATO is before you get
to Article five collect a self defense, you have Article two,
and that talks about readiness and preparedness, and if you're
not prepared to invest in your own capabilities in your
own defense, it's not reasonable to expect other countries to
make up that flax. So clearly one of the key
things that's come out of President Trump's two terms is
(12:09):
more and more NATO ally stepping up. Not everybody is
stepping up, and we need to see more of it.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Oh, it's going to be interesting to watch this play out.
We appreciate your time, Ambassador and Nathan Sales.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Thank you, Thank you, Sean Kent.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Let's get back to our.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Busy phones eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if you
want to be a part of the program, Stacy my
free State of Florida.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Stacey, how are you glad you called? I am great.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
How are you, Sean?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I'm good? Thank you.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I have a two part question. The first one is
why are we knee deep in the Strait? Why when
we know once we open it up, i Ran will
be continue in its business with China. Iran's a huge
supplier of China and oil. My other one is is
(13:13):
if we're only if the Strait isn't that important to
the United States as getting our crude oil so forth,
why is our oil and our gas prices so high?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Well, it is temporarily because world markets do impact local markets,
and that's just simple economics. But once this is over,
and I do believe it will come to an end
sooner than later. I think that those prices will come
down rather precipitously, and I think it's going to happen quickly,
and I think it'll be good for everybody. And the
(13:48):
reality is is that we're impacted by the price of
oil worldwide, regardless of our ability to be energy dominant,
energy independent. And the President is trying to accomplish something
here without going without using the nuclear option, and I'm
not talking about nuclear weapons without without going scorched earth
(14:11):
on Iran. That option remains on the table. It's always
remained on the table. But the President and even said
so last week, for humanitarian purposes, he's not chosen that
route yet. But it may come down to that. If
the Iranians, whoever may be in charge, whatever fourth fifthier
layer of leadership that is calling the shots there, if
(14:32):
they're stupid enough to take us on on the straight
or Hormuz, I think they will seal their own fate,
and then I think this will come to a quick end.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Very well, very well, And you had also mentioned during
your show, is harming the people might be the answer
for them to fix their own country. Is what I
believe is maybe we should look at that.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
When all this well, they have been looking at it.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
There have been attempts to make it happen on Unfortunately,
you're dealing with a lot of unsavory characters. And my
understanding is is that you know, for example, working with
the Kurds, they were stealing ninety percent of the weapons,
so that's not helpful. Whether we can find a different
path to get arms into the hands of the Uranium
people and they can be the masters of their own destiny.
(15:18):
It's it's proven difficult, but I'm sure we could probably
come up with an alternative plan, and I would expect
that to happen. You can't win a revolution with a
sling shot.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Not I do appreciate your time and have a great day.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I appreciate you call eight hundred and nine foot one.
Shawn is on number this Monday. Quick break right back
and more of your calls coming up straight.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
Ahead, solid as a rock, honestful. This is the Seanhannity Show.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Hey dot org.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Remember last week we played this idiot mayor in Seattle.
Her name is Katie Wilson, you know, telling wealthy people.
And by the way, the former head of Starbucks, Howard
whatever his name is, moved to my free state of Florida,
just like Mark Zuckerberg moved to Florida, just like all
the co founders of Google moved to Florida, just like
(16:37):
Larry Ellison of Oracle moved to Florida. Just like all
of the private equity firms, big banks, investment firms in
New York are all moving to Florida and Ball Street
South because of the oppressive taxation. And she just mocked people.
She said, you know, basically get lost because she's putting
(16:59):
in place in her city of Seattle a wealth tax.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave
our state are like super overblown.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
And if you know the ones that leave, like by.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So now, I mean, if you go back in time,
New York is way ahead of where they are in Seattle,
and you can go back, for example, and you have
Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
If you're pro stual.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Weapon and you're pro life, you were not in New
Yorker and there's no place for you in the state
in New York. And he said that, and I'm like, okay,
that's when that was in twenty fourteen. I believe and
all these governors. I said, well, if I'm not wanted,
I'm going to leave. And I just couldn't leave at
that time. I'm now three years gone, and now the
(17:55):
current governor pathy Hokeel. Remember she was telling Lee Zelden,
Resident Trump, other conservatives get on the bus, got down
to Florida.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Remember, Bruce, and we're here.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
To say that the era of Trump and Zelden and
mon Arro. Just jump on a bus and head down
to Florida where you belong. Okay, get out of town,
get out of town. Because you don't read, you don't
represent our values.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
You are not New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I got out of town because I agree with them.
I like them. Well, now Bruce Blakeman, who was running
against her, uses that and then concludes it with her
now backtracking and saying that we've got to go down
to Palm Beach and beg people to come back to
New York.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Listen to this, Zad, just jump on a bus and
head down to Florida where you belong. Okay, get out
of town, get out of town.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Do you got to let me?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
No?
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Shoot?
Speaker 7 (18:57):
I still you shoot I go.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
If you say that, you Amma, I'll be here til
the end of time.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
So you've got to let me know.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Shoot, should I go?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
And so.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
First steps? Should we go down to Palm Beach and
see what you can bring back home?
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Because our tax base has been wrote it.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
It's fine.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Now I've reached out to Kathy Hokle's office.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Did you know that Linda I did not know that.
I want to invite her on my shows. I'll invite
her down to Palm Beach. I'll have a conversation with her,
and I'm going to tell her exactly why I don't
feel that I want to go back to New York
and maybe she should listen to people like me. Now,
Ken Griffin who was used by Mum Donnie Marxist Cammi
(19:56):
Mumdanni in that ad saying he doesn't even live here. Well,
he's scheduled to invest. He's the head of Citadel, which
is a big investment firm they now are. Their home
bases is in Wall Street South in South Florida. He
owns a ton of property all the way from Miami
to Palm Beach and very very wealthy billionaire and he
(20:20):
had planned to spend six billion dollars. Bumdani, that dope
does this ad attacking Ken Griffin that he wants to
tax him even more. And now Ken Griffin is saying,
I'm not sure I'm going to spend the six billion
dollars in New York. Apparently he was going to meet
with Hockel. My only advice to him is, I don't
think you can trust Hochel. I mean, there was one
(20:41):
moment of clarity with Cuomo back when he was governor,
and he said.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Tax the rich, tax the ridge, tax the rich. We did,
God forbid the rich leave.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
Listen, so encourages he income New Yorkers to move to
other states. And what you have to remember is even
if a small number of high income taxpayers leave, it
has a dramatic effect on this tax space.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Tax the rich, Tax the rich, Tax the rich. We did.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
Now god forbid the rich leave.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Well, the rich have been leaving in droves.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I know because I live in South Florida, and in
South Florida there are plenty of people that once lived
in New York that are far wealthier than Sean Hannity is.
I promise you and those people are not going back.
They're not bringing their businesses back. They're all predicting what
I'm predicting they think a wealth tax will be put
(21:42):
in place in New York and New York City. Look
at Mamdannie's proposal. For example. On the death tax. Now,
New York State has a ten percent death tax. This
is money you've already paid taxes on, and you die
if you die in New York. My accountants, when I
live there, you used to always say, whatever you do,
I don't die in New York as a New York resident. Well,
I'm not a New York resident anymore. So I can
(22:04):
die in peace because they don't have a death tax
in Florida. And I'd say, I'll talk to God about that.
I'll see what God has to say about that, because
I don't really have much say in the day that
God calls me home. And they would say, don't die
in New York. I'm like, okay, we have that conversation
every year. It sounds stupid, but I got it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
And so in New York.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
So the federal death tax is forty percent, which I'd
like to see Trump get rid of because it's it's
money you've already paid taxes on. Why does the government
get a part of your wealth, your.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Savings that you would prefer.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Maybe you want to give it to charity, Maybe you
want to leave it for your children, Maybe you want
to leave it for relatives, maybe for people that have
been nice to you in your life. And I, by
the way, I always suggest people out of state plans.
And so the federal government, federal government gets forty percent
in New York, New York's state gets ten percent. That's
(23:02):
fifty percent. Now, Mamdani is supporting if you live in
New York City, a fifty percent New York City death tax,
which would mean one hundred percent of your estate short
of now right now, there is a you don't start
paying the estate tax until you reach seven point five
(23:24):
million dollars in wealth. It may sound like a lot
of money for a lot of people in the country
in New York City, that is not a lot of money, Linda,
am I overstating the case.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It just isn't. No, not at all, it's not.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
It means you would probably have a decent apartment, maybe
two or three bedrooms, and a nice part of town,
and send your kids to a private school if you want,
probably afford to go out to dinner. But you're not
saving a lot of money every year you're probably you know,
using your four oh one k paying your retirement. It's
not making you filthy rich, I promise you. Because the
(23:58):
cost of living is so h and so now he
wants to lower that threshold. You wouldn't start paying the
death tax until you hit the deductible of seven point
five million. Now he wants to lower to seven hundred
and fifty thousand. That means nobody will ever. You will
(24:19):
not be able to pass on a penny to people
that you love in your life, your children, your grandchildren,
loved ones, friends, neighbors, charities, whatever you want to donate to.
When you die, you won't be able to pay a thing.
But why does the government charge us for dying anyway?
I mean, after you pay taxes your whole life.
Speaker 10 (24:37):
Well, I think to add a little bit of color
to this conversation, we should remind the audience that Mayor
Wilson was actually a recipient of revenue made in New
York because both of her parents live here in New
York State. They're both you know, in the education system,
both professors, and they subsidize her and she lived off
(25:02):
of them because they were wealthy and they have done
so well and they were giving her upwards of twenty
two hundred dollars a month, which she said was totally
relatable to the voters because she was working so hard
on her campaign.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I'm like, do I sound.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Like a cheapskate when I say I don't want to
give my kids a penny?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
No, you sound like normal in their adult life.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I think God created in every person. I think that
we're not on this earth to be served. We're not
kings and queens, we're not princes and princesses. And I
think that God designed us to serve other people in
any capacity.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I've told my kids, I don't really care what you do,
but you've got to pay your own weight. Doesn't mean
I won't leave the money, but I don't want to
create trust fund brats.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (25:51):
And that's a real problem and look like a spoiltick.
This woman is out of her mind. First of all,
she has absolutely no big business background. You know, her
father some kind of biology guy, you know. And they're
rooted in this, you know, ideological socialism works. That's their
whole platform in their personal life. So now they're trying
to make it the platform for her city. And unfortunately
(26:14):
it's not going to work. In fact, it's not working,
and people are leaving and they're taking all of their
money with them.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And she's an idiot. I'm just telling you.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
If Florida is full of people that have escaped New York,
you just tell them.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
To leave their politics behind.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Your politics home. That's number one. That's the number one rule.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Number two rule is you better get out sooner than later,
because New York's going to have a wealth tax and
then they're going to have an exit tax.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
What is an exit tax?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
That means, let's say you leave next January, then New
York is going to claim and make as a matter
of law that they still have the right to tax
your income and this was proposed in California for up
to ten years. Yet out while you can, because they
want to pick your pocket. And it's not just it's
(27:05):
not just money, it's also quality of life. I mean,
did you see this zombie video of all these people
on this new drug out in San Francisco. I've never
saw more zo It's like Dawn of the Dead, right.
Speaker 10 (27:20):
But that's what happens in that state. They have absolutely
no border control. They've got a sanctuary state, and god
knows what they're bringing across that border. And remember when
we were doing those deep dives with Sarah Carter. A
lot of the people that were along those borders across
Texas and California, they weren't just from Central America and Mexico.
They were from China and they were bringing with them
(27:40):
all of these laced drugs. They were bringing the meth infentamine,
they were bringing the fetanyl. They were bringing the marijuana
with the fetanyl. And these are lethal doses a fetanyl
and people are.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Out of their Derek Carter's on TV to I did
you know that?
Speaker 10 (27:52):
I did not. She's amazing.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I will watch, well, you should watch anyway. Are you
watching it?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
No?
Speaker 10 (27:58):
But now I'll watch and I might like wind and
watch it again just because she's great.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Woody in Gavin's Communist Utopia of California. Next, what's up, Boddy?
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Hey? Thank you predicting my call. I listen and watch
it every day.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Thank you, my friend. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Yeah? I wanted to talk about fraud. I know I'm
off topic here.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
But.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
I think President Trump and the whole Republican Party should
be running those numbers on a loop reminding people of
the fraud because I know, pissed off people vote and
if the Democratic Party was in power right now, you
wouldn't even know about that fraud.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Well, I've just got to tell you the fraud, waste, fraud,
abused corruption, it's being exposed. The person that's exposing the
most is doctor Oz and he's telling me it's hundreds
of billions of dollars. By the time we get through
an audit of Minnesota and places like New York and
(29:03):
New Jersey and your state of California, it's going to
be hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud, waste, fraud, abuse, corruption.
Look at what Nick Shirley was able to expose in
just a short period of time.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
They're trying to outlaw the Nick Shirley's of even exposing anything.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Well, I mean, they have this law that they proposed
out in your state, like the you know, silence Nick
Shirley act out there right unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
Crazy crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
All right, my friend, we got very little time here.
Really quick, We'll say, Hi, did Julio is in South Carolina? Julio,
you got less than a minute, Gosar.
Speaker 11 (29:44):
Listen, I was in Columbia, South America. About three years ago,
Ivanka Trump was there same place. I was staying in
the Grand Hyatt and Bowata, Columbia. I went sightseeing with
my distant family and but I get back, there's m
sixteen guys all over the place, not allowed to go
back in until I had credentials get into my room
(30:05):
and to the lobby. And when I get up to
my room, I felt as if somebody's been in my
room or our dog's been in my room. Why can't
we do that here? That's ridiculous that we can't do
that here. You know, I had the pleasure of meeting
our president back in when he was forty five. What
a wonderful man. We got to take care of him.
He is changing the world for the better.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Well, he's consequential, and I think that's one of the
reasons they hate him so much. And all these attempts
keep happening, and we've got to protect our president, period.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
And the sentence. We appreciate you, Julio, God bless you.
Eight hundred.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
All right, that's going to wrap things up, But today
it looks like military action back on the table. We'll
check in with General Keith kell Ogg, Lindsay Graham tonight.
Also drugs Are Sarah Carter, Greg Jarrett Write's previous Brianna
Lyneman say you DVR news you'll never get from the
Legacy Media Mob. Also a preview of my podcast with
the one and only FBI director Cash Butt Tell. The
(31:16):
stuff he's said is unbelievable. Anyway, nine Eastern Tonight Hannony
on Fox. Will see you then back here tomorrow. Thank
you for making this show possible.
Right news round up in Information Overload Hour. Here's our
toll free telephone number this Monday. It is eight hundred
and nine fourt one, Shawn. If you want to be
a part of the program.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
The President now is taking the events and Iran to
the next level. The US Navy escorting ships through the
Strait of Ormuz. Is it risky?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I think the President's plan B is to obliterate them.
I do.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Will the Iranians fall into the trap, We'll see. Only
time will tell. But as the President rightly has been saying,
the Iranians are fighting themselves more than they're fighting anybody else.
And there has not been one group of leadership to
emerge to actually have a real negotiation with Here's what
he said.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
We're doing everything in terms of negotiating right now. In
terms of the negotiation telephonically, they've made strides, but I'm
not sure if they ever get there. Tremendous discord, this
tremendous having a tremendous problem getting along with each other
(01:05):
in Iran. The leadership is very disjointed. It's got two
to three groups, maybe four, and it's a very disjointed leadership.
And with that being said, they all want to make
a deal, but they're all messed up.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's pretty messed up anyway. Here to analyze what's going
to happen next, we have Ambassador Nathan Sales. Now, he
did serve in the first Trump administration as the Ambassador
at Large for counter Terrorism and acting under Secretary of State.
I understand what the President is doing. I understand the
situation he's dealing with. I understand also because I had
(01:42):
the conversation with him, that he can obliterate them in
fifteen minutes or less, so that option always remains on
the table. However, I get a little nervous when American
ships are escorting other ships through the Straight of Horn moves,
knowing the short distance at its narrowest point is what
twenty four miles something like that.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yesom, thanks for having me on. The situation today is
obviously very fluid. The US announced that we were going
to be reopening the Straight and working with commercial shipping
companies to reduce the risk that their cargoes and cruise face.
We're also seeing Iran lashing out. Who and Iran it's
actually not clear who's responsible for making these decisions to
(02:25):
attack ships in the Gulf and to launch drones at
the United Arab Emirates or these rogue commanders on the
front lines who have taken matters into their own hands,
or is this a strategic decision that's made by leadership,
such as it is leadership that's remaining in Tehran. So
we've got to watch the situation very very closely. I
think the overall picture here, what the President is trying
(02:48):
to do is maximize his leverage over the Iranian regime,
using all of the instruments of the American power, diplomatic, economic,
and military, to coerce the Mulas to the table to
get a good deal. It looked yesterday as though we
were starting to see some progress. The Iranians were starting
to say, okay, well maybe we'll give up nuclear Enrichmond
(03:08):
for fifteen years. Previously they only said five. Now fifteen
is still way too short. But the fact that they
were willing to move a little bit in the right
direction suggest that they were starting to feel the heat
of the economic blockade. So there's a lot of moving
parts here. Let's watch the situation very.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Carefully, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Scott Besson said we're suffocating them economically and they're not
able to pay their soldiers. He's also saying that Iran
has gotten a pittance of hormones. Holes they're losing, we're told,
between four and five hundred million dollars a day, and
their ability to store the oil that they are currently
(03:45):
pumping is running out very quickly, which would mean they'd
have to cap those oil wells, which would mean if
they ever do reopen them, probably they'd be at best
fifty to sixty percent capacity of where they are today.
Not a good option for them, No.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Not at all. And that's really the economic leverage that
the United States has over Iran right now. We have
their economy, and a vice script, so much of their
economic strength, or such as it is, is dependent on
oil revenues. If you turn that off, their economy craters.
And their economy is not in great shape to begin with.
They've been mismanaged for forty years, fifty years, they faced
(04:23):
decades of American sanctions pressure. The war has completely obliterated
their industrial base, and so their ability to weather economic
storms like we unleashed with this blockade is very, very limited,
and so it's ultimately a question of who's going to
blink first. The Iranians think they can outlast the United States,
and President Trump is looking at their fragile economy and saying,
(04:46):
I've got all the cards. I've got all the time.
So that's the question is over the next couple of weeks,
is the Iranian regime going to continue to feel that
economic pressure and ultimately blink and come to the table
for a good deal.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
What is your best Yes, I mean, at this point,
we don't even know who's in charge. I know that
they are fighting for the leadership role. They seem to
have no concern at all about any impact on the
Iranian people. The one thing that I wish has happened
and they've not been able to accomplish it at this point,
and maybe they will be able to accomplish it, is
arming the Iranian people.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, the Iranian regime has no regard for the Iranian people.
The Iranian people have been victimized by this regime for
the past fifty some years, and most recently they killed
about forty thousand of them. So American pressure on the
regime has to be to impose costs that actually matter
to the regime, not costs that are going to be
born by the Iranian people, And that's why I'm glad
(05:43):
that the President moved off as into earlier threats to
target a lot of Iranian energy infrastructure and transportation infrastructure.
That's going to disproportionately hurt the people of Iran. And
if you ask the leaders in Tehran whether they care,
the answer is going to be a big, fat no.
What they care about out is regime continuity. They care
about their abilities.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But they can say they don't care. But at that
point then their days are numbered. I mean things are
already bad enough. Half their workforce is out of work.
Reports are that the IRGC is not getting paid, Reports
are their currency is down to zero, reports of a
two hundred percent inflation rate, reports of food and shortages
(06:24):
of other goods and services. So the Iranian people and
if they're not paying the Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces, they're
going to start to rebel too.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, that's a real risk that the leaders have to
worry about in Tehran because the economic pressure we're applying
directed at regime targets can create fissures within the regime,
can create factions. It's a smart way to exploit divisions
within the regime and cause them to turn against one
another and another thing that happens is if you're squeezing
the pocketbooks of the revolutionary guard core and they're not
(06:56):
getting paid Sean, as you said, maybe they start to
consider alternatives. Maybe not leaders who are super ideological and
committed to shea revolutionaryism around the world, But what about
the rank and file who saw, now you know, this
might be a good way to get ahead in life
and make a good buck. Those folks who are more
monetarily motivated, maybe the loss of the paycheck causes them
(07:17):
to consider alternatives.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
What about these other countries that are way more dependent
on the Straight of Horror moves than we are. We're
not dependent on the Straight being open at all. I mean,
why does France and Western European countries that do rely
on energy coming out of the Straight, why don't they
get involved?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, I'd like to see more from our European friends.
They get about twenty five percent of their energy. I
think from the Straight of Horror moves we get about
ten or less. So the Europeans certainly have skin in
the game. Now, the Brits have talked about a maritime
coalition to keep the Straight open. I think that's valuable.
I think we should encourage that and be grateful for it.
All that said, it would be nice to see more
(07:56):
effort and to see it sooner so that it comes
at a time when it actually matters the most, which
is right now when the Iranians are taking shots at
a Korean ship and Amorat ship. And it's not just
the Europeans who we'd like to see stand up and
be counted. The golf partners of ours have a huge
economic interest in continuing to be able to export through
the Strait, and our Asian friends South Korea, Japan and
(08:18):
others have a huge interest in being able to import oil.
So we'd like to see some help from those guys
as well.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
With China and all of this, because they get a
lot of their oil through that straight Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And China has really been a huge beneficiary of Iranian
oil over the past number of years because the Iranians
have a hard time selling it on the open market
thanks to American sanctions, but the Chinese Communist Party is
perfectly happy to take a discount. China and iran are
inextricably linked. They have economic ties, they increasingly have military ties.
(08:49):
A lot of the military equipment that our forces were
able to go in and destroy during the opening hours
and days of the campaign. We're Chinese, so we have
to want under whether Shijin Ping has a lot of
confidence in the ability of his equipment to withstand American
military might. But what we need to do is try
and separate China as much as we can from Iran.
(09:11):
Don't provide them intelligence information, don't provide them with dual
use capabilities that could be used for military purposes, and
Iran certainly don't provide them with weapons. I have to
imagine that that's the key message that the President and
his team are delivering Decision Ping in advance of a
meeting in the upcoming weeks or months.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I think it's probably next week. I'm scheduled to go myself,
so I might be there. Wish me luck getting in
and out of China.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
If I go, don't.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I am on Air Force one, so I should be
fairly protected. I'm hoping, but you never know. But it
is China. But the Iranians have been getting help from
the Chinese, from the Russians and the North Koreans. That's
where a lot of their weaponry came from. Now, if
I'm China and I'm Russia and I'm North Korea, and
I watched the obliteration of all of our missile defense system,
(09:59):
ballistic system, air defense systems, and nuclear systems that I'm
sure they assisted with. What are they thinking at this point?
Are they thinking, Wow, we underestimated America's military might.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I think the overwhelming dominance of the American military in
this campaign is going to send a clear deterrent signal
to Russia and a clear deterrent signal to China. How
confident is Russia about in the future, God forbid taking
a fight with NATO, not just Ukraine, but actually fighting
against NATO. When you've seen what American military capabilities look
(10:34):
like in Iran, I'm.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Not sure NATO's going to exist when this is all
said and done.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Right, Well, you know, the eastern front country is poland
the ball the Romanians. These guys are super committed to
the alliance, and they're putting their money where their mouth
is because they realize that it's on them first and
foremost to descend their homelands against the Russian threats.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
And so see.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But I could see us going into bilateral negotiations and
agreements with those countries that have been loyal and have
been supportive and basically saying goodbye to Spain and France,
maybe even Great Britain Italy that have not been supportive,
that have frankly undermined our efforts.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, there's a lot of Western European countries that have
yet to get true religion. Spain it is at the
top of the list. Spain has said they're not going
to spend the requisite five percent of gross domestic product
on military spending, and the reason is because we choose
not to make this sacrifice. I think that's a direct
quote from Pedro Sanchez, the leader of Spain. And when
(11:36):
an American here is that, what they think is, well,
why should we make a sacrifice for Spain if the
Spanish are not going to make a sacrifice to defend
their own country. So that's not I.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Don't think, I don't think we should do you.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, well, no, I mean NATO is before you get
to Article five collect a self defense, you have Article two,
and that talks about readiness and preparedness, and if you're
not prepared to invest in your own capabilities in your
own defense, it's not reasonable to expect other countries to
make up that flax. So clearly one of the key
things that's come out of President Trump's two terms is
(12:09):
more and more NATO ally stepping up. Not everybody is
stepping up, and we need to see more of it.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Oh, it's going to be interesting to watch this play out.
We appreciate your time, Ambassador and Nathan Sales.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Thank you, Thank you, Sean Kent.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Let's get back to our.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Busy phones eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if you
want to be a part of the program, Stacy my
free State of Florida.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Stacey, how are you glad you called? I am great.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
How are you, Sean?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I'm good? Thank you.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I have a two part question. The first one is
why are we knee deep in the Strait? Why when
we know once we open it up, i Ran will
be continue in its business with China. Iran's a huge
supplier of China and oil. My other one is is
(13:13):
if we're only if the Strait isn't that important to
the United States as getting our crude oil so forth,
why is our oil and our gas prices so high?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Well, it is temporarily because world markets do impact local markets,
and that's just simple economics. But once this is over,
and I do believe it will come to an end
sooner than later. I think that those prices will come
down rather precipitously, and I think it's going to happen quickly,
and I think it'll be good for everybody. And the
(13:48):
reality is is that we're impacted by the price of
oil worldwide, regardless of our ability to be energy dominant,
energy independent. And the President is trying to accomplish something
here without going without using the nuclear option, and I'm
not talking about nuclear weapons without without going scorched earth
(14:11):
on Iran. That option remains on the table. It's always
remained on the table. But the President and even said
so last week, for humanitarian purposes, he's not chosen that
route yet. But it may come down to that. If
the Iranians, whoever may be in charge, whatever fourth fifthier
layer of leadership that is calling the shots there, if
(14:32):
they're stupid enough to take us on on the straight
or Hormuz, I think they will seal their own fate,
and then I think this will come to a quick end.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Very well, very well, And you had also mentioned during
your show, is harming the people might be the answer
for them to fix their own country. Is what I
believe is maybe we should look at that.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
When all this well, they have been looking at it.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
There have been attempts to make it happen on Unfortunately,
you're dealing with a lot of unsavory characters. And my
understanding is is that you know, for example, working with
the Kurds, they were stealing ninety percent of the weapons,
so that's not helpful. Whether we can find a different
path to get arms into the hands of the Uranium
people and they can be the masters of their own destiny.
(15:18):
It's it's proven difficult, but I'm sure we could probably
come up with an alternative plan, and I would expect
that to happen. You can't win a revolution with a
sling shot.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Not I do appreciate your time and have a great day.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I appreciate you call eight hundred and nine foot one.
Shawn is on number this Monday. Quick break right back
and more of your calls coming up straight.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
Ahead, solid as a rock, honestful. This is the Seanhannity Show.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Hey dot org.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Remember last week we played this idiot mayor in Seattle.
Her name is Katie Wilson, you know, telling wealthy people.
And by the way, the former head of Starbucks, Howard
whatever his name is, moved to my free state of Florida,
just like Mark Zuckerberg moved to Florida, just like all
the co founders of Google moved to Florida, just like
(16:37):
Larry Ellison of Oracle moved to Florida. Just like all
of the private equity firms, big banks, investment firms in
New York are all moving to Florida and Ball Street
South because of the oppressive taxation. And she just mocked people.
She said, you know, basically get lost because she's putting
(16:59):
in place in her city of Seattle a wealth tax.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave
our state are like super overblown.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
And if you know the ones that leave, like by.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So now, I mean, if you go back in time,
New York is way ahead of where they are in Seattle,
and you can go back, for example, and you have
Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
If you're pro stual.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Weapon and you're pro life, you were not in New
Yorker and there's no place for you in the state
in New York. And he said that, and I'm like, okay,
that's when that was in twenty fourteen. I believe and
all these governors. I said, well, if I'm not wanted,
I'm going to leave. And I just couldn't leave at
that time. I'm now three years gone, and now the
(17:55):
current governor pathy Hokeel. Remember she was telling Lee Zelden,
Resident Trump, other conservatives get on the bus, got down
to Florida.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Remember, Bruce, and we're here.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
To say that the era of Trump and Zelden and
mon Arro. Just jump on a bus and head down
to Florida where you belong. Okay, get out of town,
get out of town. Because you don't read, you don't
represent our values.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
You are not New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I got out of town because I agree with them.
I like them. Well, now Bruce Blakeman, who was running
against her, uses that and then concludes it with her
now backtracking and saying that we've got to go down
to Palm Beach and beg people to come back to
New York.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Listen to this, Zad, just jump on a bus and
head down to Florida where you belong. Okay, get out
of town, get out of town.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Do you got to let me?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
No?
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Shoot?
Speaker 7 (18:57):
I still you shoot I go.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
If you say that, you Amma, I'll be here til
the end of time.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
So you've got to let me know.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Shoot, should I go?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
And so.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
First steps? Should we go down to Palm Beach and
see what you can bring back home?
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Because our tax base has been wrote it.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
It's fine.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Now I've reached out to Kathy Hokle's office.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Did you know that Linda I did not know that.
I want to invite her on my shows. I'll invite
her down to Palm Beach. I'll have a conversation with her,
and I'm going to tell her exactly why I don't
feel that I want to go back to New York
and maybe she should listen to people like me. Now,
Ken Griffin who was used by Mum Donnie Marxist Cammi
(19:56):
Mumdanni in that ad saying he doesn't even live here. Well,
he's scheduled to invest. He's the head of Citadel, which
is a big investment firm they now are. Their home
bases is in Wall Street South in South Florida. He
owns a ton of property all the way from Miami
to Palm Beach and very very wealthy billionaire and he
(20:20):
had planned to spend six billion dollars. Bumdani, that dope
does this ad attacking Ken Griffin that he wants to
tax him even more. And now Ken Griffin is saying,
I'm not sure I'm going to spend the six billion
dollars in New York. Apparently he was going to meet
with Hockel. My only advice to him is, I don't
think you can trust Hochel. I mean, there was one
(20:41):
moment of clarity with Cuomo back when he was governor,
and he said.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Tax the rich, tax the ridge, tax the rich. We did,
God forbid the rich leave.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
Listen, so encourages he income New Yorkers to move to
other states. And what you have to remember is even
if a small number of high income taxpayers leave, it
has a dramatic effect on this tax space.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Tax the rich, Tax the rich, Tax the rich. We did.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
Now god forbid the rich leave.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Well, the rich have been leaving in droves.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I know because I live in South Florida, and in
South Florida there are plenty of people that once lived
in New York that are far wealthier than Sean Hannity is.
I promise you and those people are not going back.
They're not bringing their businesses back. They're all predicting what
I'm predicting they think a wealth tax will be put
(21:42):
in place in New York and New York City. Look
at Mamdannie's proposal. For example. On the death tax. Now,
New York State has a ten percent death tax. This
is money you've already paid taxes on, and you die
if you die in New York. My accountants, when I
live there, you used to always say, whatever you do,
I don't die in New York as a New York resident. Well,
I'm not a New York resident anymore. So I can
(22:04):
die in peace because they don't have a death tax
in Florida. And I'd say, I'll talk to God about that.
I'll see what God has to say about that, because
I don't really have much say in the day that
God calls me home. And they would say, don't die
in New York. I'm like, okay, we have that conversation
every year. It sounds stupid, but I got it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
And so in New York.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
So the federal death tax is forty percent, which I'd
like to see Trump get rid of because it's it's
money you've already paid taxes on. Why does the government
get a part of your wealth, your.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Savings that you would prefer.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Maybe you want to give it to charity, Maybe you
want to leave it for your children, Maybe you want
to leave it for relatives, maybe for people that have
been nice to you in your life. And I, by
the way, I always suggest people out of state plans.
And so the federal government, federal government gets forty percent
in New York, New York's state gets ten percent. That's
(23:02):
fifty percent. Now, Mamdani is supporting if you live in
New York City, a fifty percent New York City death tax,
which would mean one hundred percent of your estate short
of now right now, there is a you don't start
paying the estate tax until you reach seven point five
(23:24):
million dollars in wealth. It may sound like a lot
of money for a lot of people in the country
in New York City, that is not a lot of money, Linda,
am I overstating the case.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It just isn't. No, not at all, it's not.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
It means you would probably have a decent apartment, maybe
two or three bedrooms, and a nice part of town,
and send your kids to a private school if you want,
probably afford to go out to dinner. But you're not
saving a lot of money every year you're probably you know,
using your four oh one k paying your retirement. It's
not making you filthy rich, I promise you. Because the
(23:58):
cost of living is so h and so now he
wants to lower that threshold. You wouldn't start paying the
death tax until you hit the deductible of seven point
five million. Now he wants to lower to seven hundred
and fifty thousand. That means nobody will ever. You will
(24:19):
not be able to pass on a penny to people
that you love in your life, your children, your grandchildren,
loved ones, friends, neighbors, charities, whatever you want to donate to.
When you die, you won't be able to pay a thing.
But why does the government charge us for dying anyway?
I mean, after you pay taxes your whole life.
Speaker 10 (24:37):
Well, I think to add a little bit of color
to this conversation, we should remind the audience that Mayor
Wilson was actually a recipient of revenue made in New
York because both of her parents live here in New
York State. They're both you know, in the education system,
both professors, and they subsidize her and she lived off
(25:02):
of them because they were wealthy and they have done
so well and they were giving her upwards of twenty
two hundred dollars a month, which she said was totally
relatable to the voters because she was working so hard
on her campaign.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I'm like, do I sound.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Like a cheapskate when I say I don't want to
give my kids a penny?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
No, you sound like normal in their adult life.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I think God created in every person. I think that
we're not on this earth to be served. We're not
kings and queens, we're not princes and princesses. And I
think that God designed us to serve other people in
any capacity.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I've told my kids, I don't really care what you do,
but you've got to pay your own weight. Doesn't mean
I won't leave the money, but I don't want to
create trust fund brats.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (25:51):
And that's a real problem and look like a spoiltick.
This woman is out of her mind. First of all,
she has absolutely no big business background. You know, her
father some kind of biology guy, you know. And they're
rooted in this, you know, ideological socialism works. That's their
whole platform in their personal life. So now they're trying
to make it the platform for her city. And unfortunately
(26:14):
it's not going to work. In fact, it's not working,
and people are leaving and they're taking all of their
money with them.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And she's an idiot. I'm just telling you.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
If Florida is full of people that have escaped New York,
you just tell them.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
To leave their politics behind.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Your politics home. That's number one. That's the number one rule.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Number two rule is you better get out sooner than later,
because New York's going to have a wealth tax and
then they're going to have an exit tax.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
What is an exit tax?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
That means, let's say you leave next January, then New
York is going to claim and make as a matter
of law that they still have the right to tax
your income and this was proposed in California for up
to ten years. Yet out while you can, because they
want to pick your pocket. And it's not just it's
(27:05):
not just money, it's also quality of life. I mean,
did you see this zombie video of all these people
on this new drug out in San Francisco. I've never
saw more zo It's like Dawn of the Dead, right.
Speaker 10 (27:20):
But that's what happens in that state. They have absolutely
no border control. They've got a sanctuary state, and god
knows what they're bringing across that border. And remember when
we were doing those deep dives with Sarah Carter. A
lot of the people that were along those borders across
Texas and California, they weren't just from Central America and Mexico.
They were from China and they were bringing with them
(27:40):
all of these laced drugs. They were bringing the meth infentamine,
they were bringing the fetanyl. They were bringing the marijuana
with the fetanyl. And these are lethal doses a fetanyl
and people are.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Out of their Derek Carter's on TV to I did
you know that?
Speaker 10 (27:52):
I did not. She's amazing.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I will watch, well, you should watch anyway. Are you
watching it?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
No?
Speaker 10 (27:58):
But now I'll watch and I might like wind and
watch it again just because she's great.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Woody in Gavin's Communist Utopia of California. Next, what's up, Boddy?
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Hey? Thank you predicting my call. I listen and watch
it every day.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Thank you, my friend. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Yeah? I wanted to talk about fraud. I know I'm
off topic here.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
But.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
I think President Trump and the whole Republican Party should
be running those numbers on a loop reminding people of
the fraud because I know, pissed off people vote and
if the Democratic Party was in power right now, you
wouldn't even know about that fraud.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Well, I've just got to tell you the fraud, waste, fraud,
abused corruption, it's being exposed. The person that's exposing the
most is doctor Oz and he's telling me it's hundreds
of billions of dollars. By the time we get through
an audit of Minnesota and places like New York and
(29:03):
New Jersey and your state of California, it's going to
be hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud, waste, fraud, abuse, corruption.
Look at what Nick Shirley was able to expose in
just a short period of time.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
They're trying to outlaw the Nick Shirley's of even exposing anything.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Well, I mean, they have this law that they proposed
out in your state, like the you know, silence Nick
Shirley act out there right unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
Crazy crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
All right, my friend, we got very little time here.
Really quick, We'll say, Hi, did Julio is in South Carolina? Julio,
you got less than a minute, Gosar.
Speaker 11 (29:44):
Listen, I was in Columbia, South America. About three years ago,
Ivanka Trump was there same place. I was staying in
the Grand Hyatt and Bowata, Columbia. I went sightseeing with
my distant family and but I get back, there's m
sixteen guys all over the place, not allowed to go
back in until I had credentials get into my room
(30:05):
and to the lobby. And when I get up to
my room, I felt as if somebody's been in my
room or our dog's been in my room. Why can't
we do that here? That's ridiculous that we can't do
that here. You know, I had the pleasure of meeting
our president back in when he was forty five. What
a wonderful man. We got to take care of him.
He is changing the world for the better.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Well, he's consequential, and I think that's one of the
reasons they hate him so much. And all these attempts
keep happening, and we've got to protect our president, period.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
And the sentence. We appreciate you, Julio, God bless you.
Eight hundred.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
All right, that's going to wrap things up, But today
it looks like military action back on the table. We'll
check in with General Keith kell Ogg, Lindsay Graham tonight.
Also drugs Are Sarah Carter, Greg Jarrett Write's previous Brianna
Lyneman say you DVR news you'll never get from the
Legacy Media Mob. Also a preview of my podcast with
the one and only FBI director Cash Butt Tell. The
(31:16):
