In the final hour, Sean Hannity warns that renewed military action against Iran may be becoming inevitable as Iranian forces continue attacking commercial vessels, neighboring countries, and U.S. forces below the threshold of full-scale war. James Robbins joins the program to analyze Iran’s remaining military capability, the effectiveness of the blockade, the pressure on Iran’s oil economy, and whether the U.S. should target regime assets, oil infrastructure, or the IRGC. Hannity also discusses the challenge of arming the Iranian people, the possibility of internal regime collapse, and the risks of a death-cult ideology driving Tehran’s decision-making. The hour closes with calls on Secret Service security failures, the FBI burn bag revelations, and the need for accountability inside federal agencies.

All right, news rounds up and information overload hour toll
(00:02):
free A numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Sean
if you want to be a part of the program.
As it relates to where this conflict with Iran is going,
I sense military action is now becoming inevitable. I think
the Iranians have taken the benevolence of Donald Trump as
weakness on or at least that's their interpretation of it.
(00:25):
Plus they're so crazy and radicalized that I just don't
think they quite understand that they've had, you know, seventy
five percent of their military targets wiped out, the other
twenty five percent of next and maybe with it their
entire economy, and it probably would take less than fifteen
minutes to do at all now. The Chairman of the
(00:47):
Joint Chiefs, General Dan kin Raising Kane said earlier today,
since the start of the ceasefire, Iran has attacked the
US more than ten times and that they are delivery
deliberately attacking their neighbors. Okay, let me interpret this for
you before you hear it. That means they're about to
get hit, Lissa.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Since the ceasefire was announced, Iran has fired at commercial
vessels nine times and seized two container ships, and they've
attacked US forces more than ten times, all below the
threshold of restarting major combat operations. At this point, you
can also see the group of tankers and cargo vessels
(01:29):
in the US blockade line.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
As I mentioned, as a result.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Of Iran's indiscriminate attacks across the region, there are currently
twenty twenty two thousand, five hundred mariners embarked on more
than one thousand, five hundred and fifty commercial vessels trapped
in the Irambian Gulf unable to transit. In addition to shipping,
Iran has continued to deliberately attack its neighbors. Just yesterday,
(01:56):
Iran attacked Doman once and the UAE three three times,
including an attack on Pragyra oil terminal which was successfully defeated.
They also launched cruise missiles drone small boats at US
forces defending commercial shipping in the Straits, and United States
Navy MH sixty helicopters and Army AH sixty four Apache
(02:17):
helicopters successfully defeated those threats.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And the President also said when he was asked, does
Iran need you know?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
What?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Does Iran need? To do to respond to violate the ceasefire.
He says, they know what not to do. Listen, what
do they need to.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Do to violate the ceasefire?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Well, you'll find out, because I'll let you know. They
know what to do, and they know what to do,
and they know what not to do. More importantly, actually,
and you know they fired them in little boats with
P shooters, you know, to P shooters, a little boat
with little you know why, because they don't have any
boats anymore. The navy is comprised of they call them
little boats rests.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And they're fast.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, they're so fast that that tha had eight of them,
and they're all gone. And they're fast, but they're not
fast like a missile. A missile was slightly faster.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
They're all gone.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
So they're looking around for a little boats to try
and compete with our great navy.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Now one more cut of the president. He was asked,
you know, people in Iran want to protest, but they
don't have guns. This is a point I've been raising often. Uh,
it has been problematic to get guns in the hands
of the uranium people. I know efforts are underway. I
don't know the extent of the success of those efforts.
But I think that that's going to be a critical
(03:40):
part for the Uranium people if they ultimately want to
regain their once great culture. The Persian culture is phenomenal. Anyway,
here's how that went out.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
He said it was something that keep Alan Aranians were
armed they had took over to regime.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Do you plan to arm them?
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Se Well, I don't want to say that, but yeah,
I mean, people say, why aren't they protesting? They want
to protest, but they don't have any guns. So you
could have two hundred thousand people protesting and have five
or six sick people with guns, and when they start
shooting them right between the eyes and you see a
guy fall and another one fall. When you have no guns,
(04:18):
very few people would be able to stand there.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Here to respond to all of this is James Robbins's
former special assistant to Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and the Institute
of World Politics Deed. All right, well, let's get your
take on it. My take is, Okay, they've pushed it far.
They cling to their death cult. They underestimated President Trump
(04:42):
before Midnight Hammer. Okay, we know the result, fourteen bunker
buster bombs, epic fury, is pretty much wiped out their
entire military, and now they're in a power struggle. We
don't know who's really in charge. However, there are enough
people in charge that are making really dumb decisions that
(05:02):
are pretty much going to force President Trump's hand. That
is going to be blockade, embargo plus more military strikes.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Your thoughts well, Sean, Yeah, I think so. Before the
forty one day military action, the President said the reason
for that was rama's getting too cute in the negotiations,
and he said something similar now, saying that they'll say
one thing in public and one thing in private. So
I think getting cute with Donald Trump is a mistake
on their part. These attacks, we don't know who's ordering them,
(05:33):
you know. Is it the same people were negotiating with,
is it some other faction. We don't know. The Joint
Chiefs Chairman said that it was just like small scale
harassing attacks. But on a certain point, if they're going
to do that, I think that we're going to strike back.
Maybe start to hit the bridges and power plants, as
the President said, maybe start to hit their oil infrastructure.
(05:54):
You know, carg Island is just sitting there and we
can hit that pretty severely.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well, I mean that's a question that I have, and
this came up a lot on TV last night.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
If we hit carg Island.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Now, there's two strategies that are that have emerged, and
I guess it's probably an internal discussion as well. I mean,
do we take over carg Island. If we do that,
then that means our military presence would would have to
remain longer than I think the President would like, or
you just wipe it out. But if you wipe it out,
(06:26):
that's ninety percent of their economy, and that means the
Iranian people, some ninety million plus people, won't have an
economy to rebuild at least for another decade.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Well, you know, carg Island doesn't have any intrinsic value
to us. I think if we occupied it, we would
just be setting up a target. Every drone in Iran
would suddenly be aimed at that place. And I don't
think that it's worth one dead marine to take carg Island.
If we're going to do something to it, we should
just vomit. If yes, it would mean highly disrupting their economy,
(06:58):
which is kind of disrupted anyway. I mean, they've got hyperinflation.
They can't export anything. They're in dire straits. If it
means rebuilding, fine, but it could finally pressure them to
either make a deal with US or get the revolution done.
But I mean, if the choices between bombing it or
occupying it, the result would be the same either way,
(07:18):
except if you occupy it, you're creating a really difficult
military situation. So I would just go for the air
power solutions.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well, the air power seems to have been the most effective.
If I had my way, my dro others, what I
would be looking for. I mean, we've pretty much wiped
out three tiers of leadership, and it seems that the
most extreme element remains with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Forces
and or Guard Core, whichever you prefer, the IRGC. So
(07:51):
my question is should we be looking to take them
out hoping that more moderate voices might emerge, people that
maybe are looking at all the other dead leaders before them,
thinking well, I don't want to be next.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
I don't think you're going to get any moderates out
of this regime. I think if there were any moderates,
they were purged a long time ago. But you might
get some people who are more pragmatic, who don't want
to die. I think that's really the key. If the
people there right now want to be martyrs, I think
that we can accommodate them, you know, let that happen,
and try to find some people who don't want to
(08:25):
be martyrs. But the key is that military military force
isn't the only thing that we have going for us. Obviously,
we're putting on economic pressure, there's a diplomatic track, which,
who knows, maybe they'll finally wake up to that. There's
probably some kind of intelligence activity going on. There are
a lot of ways we're putting pressure on this regime
(08:46):
and kind of waiting for it to collapse. If we
do go to a military option, then yes, definitely we
should add some regime targets to that and just try
to get some better decision makers in there. I don't
know if it's going to happen anytime soon, but another
limited strike it might get their attention, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What about the idea of arming the Iranian people. I
know that there have been attempts. My understanding is my
sources have told me that they attempted to work through
the Kurds, but the Kurds were stealing ninety percent of
the weapons.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Yeah, it's too bad if they're doing that since we've
been really good friends with the Kurds, so you know,
they probably shouldn't do that. That's a big mistake on
their part.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I think that it's well, there's so much honesty in
that part of the world.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I mean, you're really surprised.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Yeah, you know, we do what we can do, I
guess with the partners that we have. But one way
I think would be to encourage army units like the
regular army, not the IERGC, but just the regular Iranian
military forces.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
If we are you talking about the Kuds forces or
just regular army.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
No, like just the regular army, like the draftees and
the officers who who aren't part of the IRGC, but
just like the regular the army. I mean, this is
how the coup happened under Mosiedek. Get those guys to defect.
They have weapons, and if they can be convinced that
the future of Iran is not this totalitarian theocracy, but
(10:13):
you know, restoring kind of national pride in Persian culture,
maybe those are the kind of people that we can
get to do something. Also, if we're seizing the accounts
of the IRGC, you know, the private accounts that they
have in the West to underwrite the lavish lifestyles of
their kids, you know, living in the US or Britain
or France. If we can start seizing those accounts and
(10:34):
then use that money to buy the arms and underwrite
the revolution, I think that would serve two purposes. One,
it would get the attention of those leaders whose you know,
fortunes are suddenly vanishing. And secondly, it would give us
the money we need to help underwrite this thing.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Now, the blockade has been tremendously affected by every objective measure,
and according to Scott Pessen, the Treasury Secretary, he's claiming
and saying that the Iranians no longer really have any
storage capability, which means they're week two weeks, maybe three
weeks out of having to cap their oil producing wells,
(11:11):
which if they ever reopened them, at best they could
hope for maybe fifty percent of the capacity that they
currently are producing. I'm just not an expert in the
field of oil production, but apparently when you cap a well,
you never get back to where you were. That's my understanding.
Presidents talked about it, Scott Besson has talked extensively about it.
(11:34):
So that moment seems to be coming. You would think,
just from a purely practical standpoint, that they would understand
that that's not a good situation for them, their economy,
their ability to stay in power. I mean, when you
have a currency that's worded zero, you have a two
hundred percent inflation rate, you have half the workforce not working,
(11:56):
and really you have shortages of food and other bare
necessity these at some point this is going this is
going to boil over, is it not.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Absolutely, I mean that's the strategy to increase these types
of pressure, particularly on the economic side, until you know
they decide it's just not worth it anymore. I think
when you have ideologically driven people, they tend to they
tend to take on suffering a little better. Also, there's
a question of if the people suffer, it doesn't mean
that the elites are suffering. I mean they may not
(12:27):
really care. I mean, this is a group that would
kill forty thousand of their own people.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Just yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
But there is a report that they're not even able
to pay the IRGC at this.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Point, right. So see, this is when we get to
the inflection point when those people start going home and
they say it's not worth it anymore. When even if
even IERGC people start saying, what are we fighting for anyway?
We could just make peace with the Americans and have
a future of prosperity, maybe have a little more political freedom.
I think we're kind of reaching that point. It may
(12:57):
take a little bit more encouragement using military means, whether
it's taking out their gasoline refineries which would really cripple
their economy, or you know, we mentioned the oil option,
could be some other options in there, but just to
really get their attention, because I think they think that
Donald Trump is in a political crisis, that the Western
(13:19):
economies are collapsing, or whatever else they hear from mainstream media.
I think they think we're under pressure and all they
need to do is hold out.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, it's going to be interesting to wait, watch and see,
but certainly the economic pressure is very real.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The biggest problem we have is this is a death cult.
And when people are indoctrinated into a death cult and
they believe that they're dying for a cause, and that
by dying for that cause they get rewarded in paradise
with seventy two virgins, it's kind of hard to break
a lifetime of indoctrination in my view, So anyway, we
(13:59):
really appreciate you. James Robbins, thanks so much for being
with us.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Thanks Sean, my pleasure.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Eight hundred and nine point one, Shawn is a number
if you want to be a part of the program exposing, uncovering,
unpacking the lies of the left every day. This is
the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
If you own your.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
Own he never stops working for the good of a country.
(15:09):
Sean Annity with behind the scenes information on today's breaking news.
Hannity is on right now.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I think this might have been between the podcast I
did with Dan Bongino followed up by the one we
just dropped this morning with Cash Bettel, might be the
most enlightening in terms of exposing just how politicized and
weaponized our FBI, not all rank and file people that
(15:45):
it became under Komi and Director Ray, and I had
hoped in the Director Ray that he would restore the
FBI to its former greatness. Unfortunately he didn't do that,
and one of the most amazing things to come out
of both of them. And again, if you just go
to YouTube wherever you get your video, podcast you know,
(16:08):
Apple Spotify wherever you watch it. You know, you just
type in hang out with Sean Hannity and you can
see you can see both of them. But we just
dropped the Cash Bettel won the FBI director today and
Dan Mangino, I don't know if you saw this, Linda
Bongino said to me. And it shocked me, he felt,
and and then I got clarification from Cash. He felt
(16:29):
that they were honest, good rank and file agents that
were given burn bags, which is classified information to be destroyed,
and they purposefully put it in a place it turns out.
I mean a lot of people in their homes have
a safe rule. This was a room that they didn't
even know existed. And Dan believes that they did it
(16:53):
on purpose, that they left a trail of crumbs in
the hopes that that new two people would find it
and get to the bottom of the corruption within the FBI.
And then Cash Pattel and I'll play this here talked
about this burn bag room that nobody knew even existed.
(17:14):
I mean, if you have a safe room in your home,
it should be a room that you can get into
and that if somebody broke into your home and they
were looking for you. They can't get to you. Imagine
that room. Well, apparently there was one such room. And
this is Cash talking about.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
So what we did was when we walked in the door,
I said, hey, this conspiracy continued. It didn't end because
the documents we released under the House Intel days showed
that there were individuals who are continuing the work of
the Steele dossier. And I said, these documents, computer hard
drives have to exist somewhere. And this is the part
(17:52):
that's frustrating to me too. People are saying, rightfully, so
where's the accountability, Where are the arrest We're undoing thirty
years of weapons. We are doing that while delivering record
results on crime reduction in America, and we got to
get it right. So we found that room that Dan
Bongino talked burn bag.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Explain to burn bag.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
It's basically a large paper bag that you use to
destroy and literally shred and burn classified information. So we
not only found burn bags in a room that was
locked away n fbihead and they weren't burned, they weren't burned,
but the room was also off the mat. It wasn't
on our blueprint, and nobody had access to it. So
(18:34):
how did you find it? Well, that's what we do,
that's what I do. I know that these people put
it in places for us to never find.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I mean, Linda, I just can't believe it now. First
of all, I'm grateful. I'm grateful to the rank and
file guys that purposely saved this evidence for people like
Cash and Dan and these are wonderful patriots. And you know,
it's amazing to me that there are people that supposedly
are on our side that have no idea what they
(19:04):
walked into and what they inherited in terms of the
country was not safe, especially after Biden Harris Mayork has
twelve plus million unvetted illegals, known terrorist murderers, rapist, child molesters,
other violent criminals, cartel members, gang members. They had to
put those fires out, and everyone's saying, well, where are
the RFK and JFK files, And I'm like, you know,
(19:26):
they're trying to save our life first, But now they're
investigating a grand conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
And both of them.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Have basically validated, vindicated as if we needed it again,
all of our coverage about the deep state and this
grand conspiracy to get Donald Trump, it's not made up.
It's not fake, it's all real, and hopefully there'll be accountability.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I mean, don't you find that bread taking?
Speaker 7 (19:56):
No.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I think everybody lies. I think every single one of
our agencies is corrupt. I think that the bad out
far out weigh the good, whether it's the CIA, the FBI,
the NSA. Everything I saw from Christopher Ray, from all
of the things that.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
Happened was struck in Paige. Nobody goes to jail.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Nobody is ever held accountable until somebody goes to jail.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
It's just noise. Well it's noise.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
But I mean, at least they were honest people that
were smart enough, wise enough that and cared enough to
understand that what was happening was just fundamentally wrong.
Speaker 10 (20:31):
Yeah, but they didn't walk it over. They left it
in a room nobody knew.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
About because if they did it with komy As the
FBI director or Rays the FBI director, it would have
been destroyed.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, but they could have walked it out, They could
have taken it somewhere. It could have been released. These
guys are supposed to be Why can't they, Why can't they?
Why can't it find its way? So many other things
find their way.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
For example, if you try to take something, if you're
in the Fox News building or where our radio building
was in New York back in the day, and you
try to take out a box, security stops you.
Speaker 10 (21:05):
No question about it.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
But you could take a piece of paper out and
you could say, hey, this is endangering the nation.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
Stuff is really scary. I've got to take take a risk.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
They're going to take the piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But these are bags, I mean, massive amount of classified information,
which by the way, would be illegal to take it
out of that.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
That sure, you know, illegal is a very sick bird.
It's no longer a thing. Everything is illegal, Sewan. These
people are corrupt to the core.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
You got you got to do.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Something, Sandy Bergers shove it down their pants in their.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
For our side of the aisle, for the good of
the nation. Absolutely, I'm sure our founding fathers had been
I think you.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I think the fact that they saved it and put
it in a safe room that nobody knew about and
everybody thought this stuff was destroyed is is pretty spectacular
to me. I think their heroes for doing that. All right,
all right, let's get to our phones. Let's see Boston.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Pete.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I don't know what Boston Pete means in Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina. What's up, Boston Pete?
Speaker 11 (22:06):
Thank Sean. I've been listening to conservative talk show for
more years than I care to say. Even the great
Rush Limbaugh never managed to segue like you did this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
You take a.
Speaker 11 (22:18):
Caller who called genuinely concerned about your safety in China
and your potential depth. You segue from that call to
a call about Irish Catholic wake. Never seen anything like that.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
In my life.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well, I mean, you know we're kind of This is
the power of live radio. I mean, you never know
what's coming your way. You just never know what That's
what makes it unique and fun.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Right, Well, do you.
Speaker 11 (22:42):
Know the difference between Irish wake and Irish wedding? No,
I do not Irish and an Irish wake, there is
one less drunk and I after your show yesterday, actually
called my living siblings. I'm the baby of seven an
Irish Catholic family, and I was describing how you described
(23:03):
the wakes. And we've been going to wakes since the
little kids, every big family, aunts, uncles, everything, and it's
exactly the way you described it. The funeral home downtown Danvers,
which is how I grew up in. You walk in
the room on the right is where the cast is
going to be. The family's going to be standing next
to it. Everybody goes through the line and then split
into one of three rooms. The guys are all in
one room with bottle of jamison, and then everybody's got
(23:26):
a shot glass, the ladies, it's so true the room,
and then the children are all in the back room
wondering what's going on in the other two rooms and
wishing we were old enough to be there, And we
just laughed hysterically over that. You brought a lot of
joy to the Collins family.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Oh then you got the group of people that are wailing,
and then you got the weirdos that are touching the
dead body. And oh, creeps are kissing the dead body.
I'm like, oh, you're creeping me out.
Speaker 11 (23:51):
Stop people who wouldn't kiss him when he was alive,
but now they don't.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, that's probably true too, unreal.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
Thank you brought a lot of laughs of those family
last night.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
If my advice put everybody put in their will, close casket.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I don't want to see your dead body.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Well, bust Impete Linda, if you go before me, please
put in your will, close casket.
Speaker 10 (24:16):
What do you want me to do? Put it close?
You'll look at my face.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
What do you want me?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I'll go right up to you want me to hold
your hand and start? You know, I'm going to look
good in my casket. I'm not worried about it. It's
going to be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
You're going to look good dead, that's what you're telling me.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
You're going to look amazing dead. I'm going to make
sure that I have a professional makeup artist. I'm going
to hire them before I.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
As a professional makeup artist.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
When they who the hell has a professional makeup artist?
Speaker 10 (24:40):
No, they don't.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
They have an home has a make Let me tell
you something.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
My father was a funeral in Bomber. Okay, so I
know a little bit about this business more than the
average bear. And my father, God bless him, was not
a makeup artist. He was a funeral in Bomber, and
he was a dude. And then he was like, I
got to bring somebody in. I don't know what I'm doing.
So what I'm telling you is unless funeral home does,
Oh they don't.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
They don't.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
They have a person just make stuff up every single one.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
Oh my god, they did their.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Body without makeup.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
I have, I have several.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
That's creepy.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Well, I just told you my father was a funeral
bomber when I was a kid. For a hot minute,
he worked there for like two three years. I'm just
telling you I know more than you about this particular issue.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Okay, about a bombing, nothing about makeup. Let's get to
our busy phones. Let us say hi to George and Maryland.
Hey George, are you hey?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Sean? How are you? First time?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Good sir? What's going on?
Speaker 7 (25:39):
A long time listener, first time caller back in the
days with Home Sink?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Thank you?
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Hey Sean. So that was a retired secret service agent
military for twenty seven years.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Thank you for your service.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
Thanks Sean and Sean. You know it's great that you're
bringing out smiss HAPs that have been happening, you know,
all too often, regardless from administration to administration. By the way, Sean,
I met you back in I think it was two
thousand or two thousand and four when you were at
the RNC in Minnesota, when you were getting ready to
do a live set and you had the makeup artist there.
(26:16):
You know, pepping you off, by the way, and you
and you told me specifically hate you guys do a
great job. I'll never I'll never forget that time. But anyway, Sean,
getting back to my point, Sean, these mishaps occur for
a reason. There's a lack of resources and there's a
lack of training. When I was on the job, granted
(26:37):
we would qualify twice a year, but then it was
downgraded to once a year maybe thirty minutes. And this
is just the average rank and follow agent. You know that,
you know it's supposed to, you know, be proficient in firearm,
but the specialty units like Caine.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Okay, well you're breaking up on me. Oh I hate that.
I want to hear what I have to say. Luke
and Wisconsin. Luke, you're on the show on Hannity Show.
We got about a minute.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Luke.
Speaker 12 (27:05):
Yeah, thanks, John. I would love to talk to your
last caller because my concern is the mishap with the
White House Correspondence Center was such a blatant failure in security.
They had an unsecured door yards from the checkpoint and
I'm not even trained in security, and I know that's
a vulnerability. They didn't control the foot traffic. They allowed
(27:25):
Cole Allen to just wander into that room. I really
think Trump needs to take a look at current because
Kurrent lauded the performance of those people there, but those
people overlooked very basic security things, and I think someone
needs to take accountability for that.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Listen, I have outlined in great specificity and detail the
problems that we experienced in Butler in terms of the
perimeter was not the proper distance. There wasn't enough of u.
There aren't enough perimeters. And I described as a sweeping
(28:02):
problem that existed in Butler. How does a guy with
a rifle get on the property or get near the
property with a ladder and climb on a roof?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
How does somebody you know?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
How how did we not sweep the area around Trump
International a known area where paparazzi congregate and you have
a clean shot at the president and the same thing here.
And I'm sorry, I know some people have gotten annoyed
at me because they've let me know they're annoyed that
I've I've pointed out these problems. But if if we don't,
(28:34):
if we keep making the same mistake, we're gonna end
up with somebody dead and we can't do this anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
It's got to stop.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
All right.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
That's gonna wrap things up for today. A great Hannity Tonight,
nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. We will cover
a part of the Secretary of State's press conference today.
I mean he took over for Caroline Levitch. He just
had her new baby. Bob Harwood, former Deputy commander for
US Central Command, Britt Volokovich is gonna be with us
(29:25):
Byron Donald's, Victor, Davis Hansen, Brett Bear, Tommy larn to
you DVR tonight Hannity on Fox. We'll see you tonight.
Back here tomorrow. Thank you for making this show possible.
All right, news rounds up and information overload hour toll

if you want to be a part of the program.
As it relates to where this conflict with Iran is going,
I sense military action is now becoming inevitable. I think
the Iranians have taken the benevolence of Donald Trump as
weakness on or at least that's their interpretation of it.
(00:25):
Plus they're so crazy and radicalized that I just don't
think they quite understand that they've had, you know, seventy
five percent of their military targets wiped out, the other
twenty five percent of next and maybe with it their
entire economy, and it probably would take less than fifteen
minutes to do at all now. The Chairman of the
(00:47):
Joint Chiefs, General Dan kin Raising Kane said earlier today,
since the start of the ceasefire, Iran has attacked the
US more than ten times and that they are delivery
deliberately attacking their neighbors. Okay, let me interpret this for
you before you hear it. That means they're about to
get hit, Lissa.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Since the ceasefire was announced, Iran has fired at commercial
vessels nine times and seized two container ships, and they've
attacked US forces more than ten times, all below the
threshold of restarting major combat operations. At this point, you
can also see the group of tankers and cargo vessels
(01:29):
in the US blockade line.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
As I mentioned, as a result.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Of Iran's indiscriminate attacks across the region, there are currently
twenty twenty two thousand, five hundred mariners embarked on more
than one thousand, five hundred and fifty commercial vessels trapped
in the Irambian Gulf unable to transit. In addition to shipping,
Iran has continued to deliberately attack its neighbors. Just yesterday,
(01:56):
Iran attacked Doman once and the UAE three three times,
including an attack on Pragyra oil terminal which was successfully defeated.
They also launched cruise missiles drone small boats at US
forces defending commercial shipping in the Straits, and United States
Navy MH sixty helicopters and Army AH sixty four Apache
(02:17):
helicopters successfully defeated those threats.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And the President also said when he was asked, does
Iran need you know?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
What?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Does Iran need? To do to respond to violate the ceasefire.
He says, they know what not to do. Listen, what
do they need to.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Do to violate the ceasefire?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Well, you'll find out, because I'll let you know. They
know what to do, and they know what to do,
and they know what not to do. More importantly, actually,
and you know they fired them in little boats with
P shooters, you know, to P shooters, a little boat
with little you know why, because they don't have any
boats anymore. The navy is comprised of they call them
little boats rests.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And they're fast.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, they're so fast that that tha had eight of them,
and they're all gone. And they're fast, but they're not
fast like a missile. A missile was slightly faster.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
They're all gone.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
So they're looking around for a little boats to try
and compete with our great navy.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Now one more cut of the president. He was asked,
you know, people in Iran want to protest, but they
don't have guns. This is a point I've been raising often. Uh,
it has been problematic to get guns in the hands
of the uranium people. I know efforts are underway. I
don't know the extent of the success of those efforts.
But I think that that's going to be a critical
(03:40):
part for the Uranium people if they ultimately want to
regain their once great culture. The Persian culture is phenomenal. Anyway,
here's how that went out.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
He said it was something that keep Alan Aranians were
armed they had took over to regime.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Do you plan to arm them?
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Se Well, I don't want to say that, but yeah,
I mean, people say, why aren't they protesting? They want
to protest, but they don't have any guns. So you
could have two hundred thousand people protesting and have five
or six sick people with guns, and when they start
shooting them right between the eyes and you see a
guy fall and another one fall. When you have no guns,
(04:18):
very few people would be able to stand there.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Here to respond to all of this is James Robbins's
former special assistant to Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and the Institute
of World Politics Deed. All right, well, let's get your
take on it. My take is, Okay, they've pushed it far.
They cling to their death cult. They underestimated President Trump
(04:42):
before Midnight Hammer. Okay, we know the result, fourteen bunker
buster bombs, epic fury, is pretty much wiped out their
entire military, and now they're in a power struggle. We
don't know who's really in charge. However, there are enough
people in charge that are making really dumb decisions that
(05:02):
are pretty much going to force President Trump's hand. That
is going to be blockade, embargo plus more military strikes.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Your thoughts well, Sean, Yeah, I think so. Before the
forty one day military action, the President said the reason
for that was rama's getting too cute in the negotiations,
and he said something similar now, saying that they'll say
one thing in public and one thing in private. So
I think getting cute with Donald Trump is a mistake
on their part. These attacks, we don't know who's ordering them,
(05:33):
you know. Is it the same people were negotiating with,
is it some other faction. We don't know. The Joint
Chiefs Chairman said that it was just like small scale
harassing attacks. But on a certain point, if they're going
to do that, I think that we're going to strike back.
Maybe start to hit the bridges and power plants, as
the President said, maybe start to hit their oil infrastructure.
(05:54):
You know, carg Island is just sitting there and we
can hit that pretty severely.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well, I mean that's a question that I have, and
this came up a lot on TV last night.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
If we hit carg Island.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Now, there's two strategies that are that have emerged, and
I guess it's probably an internal discussion as well. I mean,
do we take over carg Island. If we do that,
then that means our military presence would would have to
remain longer than I think the President would like, or
you just wipe it out. But if you wipe it out,
(06:26):
that's ninety percent of their economy, and that means the
Iranian people, some ninety million plus people, won't have an
economy to rebuild at least for another decade.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Well, you know, carg Island doesn't have any intrinsic value
to us. I think if we occupied it, we would
just be setting up a target. Every drone in Iran
would suddenly be aimed at that place. And I don't
think that it's worth one dead marine to take carg Island.
If we're going to do something to it, we should
just vomit. If yes, it would mean highly disrupting their economy,
(06:58):
which is kind of disrupted anyway. I mean, they've got hyperinflation.
They can't export anything. They're in dire straits. If it
means rebuilding, fine, but it could finally pressure them to
either make a deal with US or get the revolution done.
But I mean, if the choices between bombing it or
occupying it, the result would be the same either way,
(07:18):
except if you occupy it, you're creating a really difficult
military situation. So I would just go for the air
power solutions.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well, the air power seems to have been the most effective.
If I had my way, my dro others, what I
would be looking for. I mean, we've pretty much wiped
out three tiers of leadership, and it seems that the
most extreme element remains with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Forces
and or Guard Core, whichever you prefer, the IRGC. So
(07:51):
my question is should we be looking to take them
out hoping that more moderate voices might emerge, people that
maybe are looking at all the other dead leaders before them,
thinking well, I don't want to be next.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
I don't think you're going to get any moderates out
of this regime. I think if there were any moderates,
they were purged a long time ago. But you might
get some people who are more pragmatic, who don't want
to die. I think that's really the key. If the
people there right now want to be martyrs, I think
that we can accommodate them, you know, let that happen,
and try to find some people who don't want to
(08:25):
be martyrs. But the key is that military military force
isn't the only thing that we have going for us. Obviously,
we're putting on economic pressure, there's a diplomatic track, which,
who knows, maybe they'll finally wake up to that. There's
probably some kind of intelligence activity going on. There are
a lot of ways we're putting pressure on this regime
(08:46):
and kind of waiting for it to collapse. If we
do go to a military option, then yes, definitely we
should add some regime targets to that and just try
to get some better decision makers in there. I don't
know if it's going to happen anytime soon, but another
limited strike it might get their attention, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What about the idea of arming the Iranian people. I
know that there have been attempts. My understanding is my
sources have told me that they attempted to work through
the Kurds, but the Kurds were stealing ninety percent of
the weapons.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Yeah, it's too bad if they're doing that since we've
been really good friends with the Kurds, so you know,
they probably shouldn't do that. That's a big mistake on
their part.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I think that it's well, there's so much honesty in
that part of the world.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I mean, you're really surprised.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Yeah, you know, we do what we can do, I
guess with the partners that we have. But one way
I think would be to encourage army units like the
regular army, not the IERGC, but just the regular Iranian
military forces.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
If we are you talking about the Kuds forces or
just regular army.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
No, like just the regular army, like the draftees and
the officers who who aren't part of the IRGC, but
just like the regular the army. I mean, this is
how the coup happened under Mosiedek. Get those guys to defect.
They have weapons, and if they can be convinced that
the future of Iran is not this totalitarian theocracy, but
(10:13):
you know, restoring kind of national pride in Persian culture,
maybe those are the kind of people that we can
get to do something. Also, if we're seizing the accounts
of the IRGC, you know, the private accounts that they
have in the West to underwrite the lavish lifestyles of
their kids, you know, living in the US or Britain
or France. If we can start seizing those accounts and
(10:34):
then use that money to buy the arms and underwrite
the revolution, I think that would serve two purposes. One,
it would get the attention of those leaders whose you know,
fortunes are suddenly vanishing. And secondly, it would give us
the money we need to help underwrite this thing.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Now, the blockade has been tremendously affected by every objective measure,
and according to Scott Pessen, the Treasury Secretary, he's claiming
and saying that the Iranians no longer really have any
storage capability, which means they're week two weeks, maybe three
weeks out of having to cap their oil producing wells,
(11:11):
which if they ever reopened them, at best they could
hope for maybe fifty percent of the capacity that they
currently are producing. I'm just not an expert in the
field of oil production, but apparently when you cap a well,
you never get back to where you were. That's my understanding.
Presidents talked about it, Scott Besson has talked extensively about it.
(11:34):
So that moment seems to be coming. You would think,
just from a purely practical standpoint, that they would understand
that that's not a good situation for them, their economy,
their ability to stay in power. I mean, when you
have a currency that's worded zero, you have a two
hundred percent inflation rate, you have half the workforce not working,
(11:56):
and really you have shortages of food and other bare
necessity these at some point this is going this is
going to boil over, is it not.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Absolutely, I mean that's the strategy to increase these types
of pressure, particularly on the economic side, until you know
they decide it's just not worth it anymore. I think
when you have ideologically driven people, they tend to they
tend to take on suffering a little better. Also, there's
a question of if the people suffer, it doesn't mean
that the elites are suffering. I mean they may not
(12:27):
really care. I mean, this is a group that would
kill forty thousand of their own people.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Just yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
But there is a report that they're not even able
to pay the IRGC at this.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Point, right. So see, this is when we get to
the inflection point when those people start going home and
they say it's not worth it anymore. When even if
even IERGC people start saying, what are we fighting for anyway?
We could just make peace with the Americans and have
a future of prosperity, maybe have a little more political freedom.
I think we're kind of reaching that point. It may
(12:57):
take a little bit more encouragement using military means, whether
it's taking out their gasoline refineries which would really cripple
their economy, or you know, we mentioned the oil option,
could be some other options in there, but just to
really get their attention, because I think they think that
Donald Trump is in a political crisis, that the Western
(13:19):
economies are collapsing, or whatever else they hear from mainstream media.
I think they think we're under pressure and all they
need to do is hold out.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, it's going to be interesting to wait, watch and see,
but certainly the economic pressure is very real.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The biggest problem we have is this is a death cult.
And when people are indoctrinated into a death cult and
they believe that they're dying for a cause, and that
by dying for that cause they get rewarded in paradise
with seventy two virgins, it's kind of hard to break
a lifetime of indoctrination in my view, So anyway, we
(13:59):
really appreciate you. James Robbins, thanks so much for being
with us.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Thanks Sean, my pleasure.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Eight hundred and nine point one, Shawn is a number
if you want to be a part of the program exposing, uncovering,
unpacking the lies of the left every day. This is
the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
If you own your.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
Own he never stops working for the good of a country.
(15:09):
Sean Annity with behind the scenes information on today's breaking news.
Hannity is on right now.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I think this might have been between the podcast I
did with Dan Bongino followed up by the one we
just dropped this morning with Cash Bettel, might be the
most enlightening in terms of exposing just how politicized and
weaponized our FBI, not all rank and file people that
(15:45):
it became under Komi and Director Ray, and I had
hoped in the Director Ray that he would restore the
FBI to its former greatness. Unfortunately he didn't do that,
and one of the most amazing things to come out
of both of them. And again, if you just go
to YouTube wherever you get your video, podcast you know,
(16:08):
Apple Spotify wherever you watch it. You know, you just
type in hang out with Sean Hannity and you can
see you can see both of them. But we just
dropped the Cash Bettel won the FBI director today and
Dan Mangino, I don't know if you saw this, Linda
Bongino said to me. And it shocked me, he felt,
and and then I got clarification from Cash. He felt
(16:29):
that they were honest, good rank and file agents that
were given burn bags, which is classified information to be destroyed,
and they purposefully put it in a place it turns out.
I mean a lot of people in their homes have
a safe rule. This was a room that they didn't
even know existed. And Dan believes that they did it
(16:53):
on purpose, that they left a trail of crumbs in
the hopes that that new two people would find it
and get to the bottom of the corruption within the FBI.
And then Cash Pattel and I'll play this here talked
about this burn bag room that nobody knew even existed.
(17:14):
I mean, if you have a safe room in your home,
it should be a room that you can get into
and that if somebody broke into your home and they
were looking for you. They can't get to you. Imagine
that room. Well, apparently there was one such room. And
this is Cash talking about.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
So what we did was when we walked in the door,
I said, hey, this conspiracy continued. It didn't end because
the documents we released under the House Intel days showed
that there were individuals who are continuing the work of
the Steele dossier. And I said, these documents, computer hard
drives have to exist somewhere. And this is the part
(17:52):
that's frustrating to me too. People are saying, rightfully, so
where's the accountability, Where are the arrest We're undoing thirty
years of weapons. We are doing that while delivering record
results on crime reduction in America, and we got to
get it right. So we found that room that Dan
Bongino talked burn bag.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Explain to burn bag.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
It's basically a large paper bag that you use to
destroy and literally shred and burn classified information. So we
not only found burn bags in a room that was
locked away n fbihead and they weren't burned, they weren't burned,
but the room was also off the mat. It wasn't
on our blueprint, and nobody had access to it. So
(18:34):
how did you find it? Well, that's what we do,
that's what I do. I know that these people put
it in places for us to never find.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I mean, Linda, I just can't believe it now. First
of all, I'm grateful. I'm grateful to the rank and
file guys that purposely saved this evidence for people like
Cash and Dan and these are wonderful patriots. And you know,
it's amazing to me that there are people that supposedly
are on our side that have no idea what they
(19:04):
walked into and what they inherited in terms of the
country was not safe, especially after Biden Harris Mayork has
twelve plus million unvetted illegals, known terrorist murderers, rapist, child molesters,
other violent criminals, cartel members, gang members. They had to
put those fires out, and everyone's saying, well, where are
the RFK and JFK files, And I'm like, you know,
(19:26):
they're trying to save our life first, But now they're
investigating a grand conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
And both of them.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Have basically validated, vindicated as if we needed it again,
all of our coverage about the deep state and this
grand conspiracy to get Donald Trump, it's not made up.
It's not fake, it's all real, and hopefully there'll be accountability.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I mean, don't you find that bread taking?
Speaker 7 (19:56):
No.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I think everybody lies. I think every single one of
our agencies is corrupt. I think that the bad out
far out weigh the good, whether it's the CIA, the FBI,
the NSA. Everything I saw from Christopher Ray, from all
of the things that.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
Happened was struck in Paige. Nobody goes to jail.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Nobody is ever held accountable until somebody goes to jail.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
It's just noise. Well it's noise.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
But I mean, at least they were honest people that
were smart enough, wise enough that and cared enough to
understand that what was happening was just fundamentally wrong.
Speaker 10 (20:31):
Yeah, but they didn't walk it over. They left it
in a room nobody knew.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
About because if they did it with komy As the
FBI director or Rays the FBI director, it would have
been destroyed.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, but they could have walked it out, They could
have taken it somewhere. It could have been released. These
guys are supposed to be Why can't they, Why can't they?
Why can't it find its way? So many other things
find their way.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
For example, if you try to take something, if you're
in the Fox News building or where our radio building
was in New York back in the day, and you
try to take out a box, security stops you.
Speaker 10 (21:05):
No question about it.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
But you could take a piece of paper out and
you could say, hey, this is endangering the nation.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
Stuff is really scary. I've got to take take a risk.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
They're going to take the piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But these are bags, I mean, massive amount of classified information,
which by the way, would be illegal to take it
out of that.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
That sure, you know, illegal is a very sick bird.
It's no longer a thing. Everything is illegal, Sewan. These
people are corrupt to the core.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
You got you got to do.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Something, Sandy Bergers shove it down their pants in their.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
For our side of the aisle, for the good of
the nation. Absolutely, I'm sure our founding fathers had been
I think you.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I think the fact that they saved it and put
it in a safe room that nobody knew about and
everybody thought this stuff was destroyed is is pretty spectacular
to me. I think their heroes for doing that. All right,
all right, let's get to our phones. Let's see Boston.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Pete.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I don't know what Boston Pete means in Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina. What's up, Boston Pete?
Speaker 11 (22:06):
Thank Sean. I've been listening to conservative talk show for
more years than I care to say. Even the great
Rush Limbaugh never managed to segue like you did this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
You take a.
Speaker 11 (22:18):
Caller who called genuinely concerned about your safety in China
and your potential depth. You segue from that call to
a call about Irish Catholic wake. Never seen anything like that.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
In my life.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well, I mean, you know we're kind of This is
the power of live radio. I mean, you never know
what's coming your way. You just never know what That's
what makes it unique and fun.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Right, Well, do you.
Speaker 11 (22:42):
Know the difference between Irish wake and Irish wedding? No,
I do not Irish and an Irish wake, there is
one less drunk and I after your show yesterday, actually
called my living siblings. I'm the baby of seven an
Irish Catholic family, and I was describing how you described
(23:03):
the wakes. And we've been going to wakes since the
little kids, every big family, aunts, uncles, everything, and it's
exactly the way you described it. The funeral home downtown Danvers,
which is how I grew up in. You walk in
the room on the right is where the cast is
going to be. The family's going to be standing next
to it. Everybody goes through the line and then split
into one of three rooms. The guys are all in
one room with bottle of jamison, and then everybody's got
(23:26):
a shot glass, the ladies, it's so true the room,
and then the children are all in the back room
wondering what's going on in the other two rooms and
wishing we were old enough to be there, And we
just laughed hysterically over that. You brought a lot of
joy to the Collins family.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Oh then you got the group of people that are wailing,
and then you got the weirdos that are touching the
dead body. And oh, creeps are kissing the dead body.
I'm like, oh, you're creeping me out.
Speaker 11 (23:51):
Stop people who wouldn't kiss him when he was alive,
but now they don't.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, that's probably true too, unreal.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
Thank you brought a lot of laughs of those family
last night.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
If my advice put everybody put in their will, close casket.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I don't want to see your dead body.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Well, bust Impete Linda, if you go before me, please
put in your will, close casket.
Speaker 10 (24:16):
What do you want me to do? Put it close?
You'll look at my face.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
What do you want me?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I'll go right up to you want me to hold
your hand and start? You know, I'm going to look
good in my casket. I'm not worried about it. It's
going to be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
You're going to look good dead, that's what you're telling me.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
You're going to look amazing dead. I'm going to make
sure that I have a professional makeup artist. I'm going
to hire them before I.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
As a professional makeup artist.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
When they who the hell has a professional makeup artist?
Speaker 10 (24:40):
No, they don't.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
They have an home has a make Let me tell
you something.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
My father was a funeral in Bomber. Okay, so I
know a little bit about this business more than the
average bear. And my father, God bless him, was not
a makeup artist. He was a funeral in Bomber, and
he was a dude. And then he was like, I
got to bring somebody in. I don't know what I'm doing.
So what I'm telling you is unless funeral home does,
Oh they don't.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
They don't.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
They have a person just make stuff up every single one.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
Oh my god, they did their.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Body without makeup.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
I have, I have several.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
That's creepy.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Well, I just told you my father was a funeral
bomber when I was a kid. For a hot minute,
he worked there for like two three years. I'm just
telling you I know more than you about this particular issue.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Okay, about a bombing, nothing about makeup. Let's get to
our busy phones. Let us say hi to George and Maryland.
Hey George, are you hey?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Sean? How are you? First time?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Good sir? What's going on?
Speaker 7 (25:39):
A long time listener, first time caller back in the
days with Home Sink?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Thank you?
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Hey Sean. So that was a retired secret service agent
military for twenty seven years.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Thank you for your service.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
Thanks Sean and Sean. You know it's great that you're
bringing out smiss HAPs that have been happening, you know,
all too often, regardless from administration to administration. By the way, Sean,
I met you back in I think it was two
thousand or two thousand and four when you were at
the RNC in Minnesota, when you were getting ready to
do a live set and you had the makeup artist there.
(26:16):
You know, pepping you off, by the way, and you
and you told me specifically hate you guys do a
great job. I'll never I'll never forget that time. But anyway, Sean,
getting back to my point, Sean, these mishaps occur for
a reason. There's a lack of resources and there's a
lack of training. When I was on the job, granted
(26:37):
we would qualify twice a year, but then it was
downgraded to once a year maybe thirty minutes. And this
is just the average rank and follow agent. You know that,
you know it's supposed to, you know, be proficient in firearm,
but the specialty units like Caine.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Okay, well you're breaking up on me. Oh I hate that.
I want to hear what I have to say. Luke
and Wisconsin. Luke, you're on the show on Hannity Show.
We got about a minute.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Luke.
Speaker 12 (27:05):
Yeah, thanks, John. I would love to talk to your
last caller because my concern is the mishap with the
White House Correspondence Center was such a blatant failure in security.
They had an unsecured door yards from the checkpoint and
I'm not even trained in security, and I know that's
a vulnerability. They didn't control the foot traffic. They allowed
(27:25):
Cole Allen to just wander into that room. I really
think Trump needs to take a look at current because
Kurrent lauded the performance of those people there, but those
people overlooked very basic security things, and I think someone
needs to take accountability for that.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Listen, I have outlined in great specificity and detail the
problems that we experienced in Butler in terms of the
perimeter was not the proper distance. There wasn't enough of u.
There aren't enough perimeters. And I described as a sweeping
(28:02):
problem that existed in Butler. How does a guy with
a rifle get on the property or get near the
property with a ladder and climb on a roof?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
How does somebody you know?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
How how did we not sweep the area around Trump
International a known area where paparazzi congregate and you have
a clean shot at the president and the same thing here.
And I'm sorry, I know some people have gotten annoyed
at me because they've let me know they're annoyed that
I've I've pointed out these problems. But if if we don't,
(28:34):
if we keep making the same mistake, we're gonna end
up with somebody dead and we can't do this anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
It's got to stop.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
All right.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
