Sean Hannity takes on the dangerous consequences of political rhetoric after controversial comments suggest ICE agents could be targeted under “stand your ground” laws. Sean is joined by Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, who explains why those claims are legally false and why law enforcement leaders across the state are sounding the alarm. The discussion highlights how misinformation from elected officials puts officers and civilians at risk while eroding trust in public safety. Sean also addresses responsible gun ownership, situational awareness, and why de-escalation matters in a volatile climate. This hour underscores how words from leaders can carry real-world consequences.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, News roundup and information overload hour. Here's our
(00:02):
toll free telephone number if you want to be a
part of the program at eight hundred nine four one
Sean if you want to join us. There is a
lot going on as it relates to Iran. If I
had to guess, is going to be soon some action
by President Trump. And we have now seen a ratcheting
up of the tensions we've had the USS Abraham Lincoln
(00:27):
had to send up fighter jets to take out an
aggressive drone and American forces now shot that down. As
the naval build up is continuing, and I would imagine
you're going to see probably a series of attacks against
those people responsible for cracking down and murdering innocent people
who were actually peacefully protesting from all that I could see,
(00:51):
and it's you know this, look, this is a Nazi
theocracy regime. This is a regime where people do not
have rights. This is a regime that literally kills people
for no reason. And you know, women are treated like
third class citizens. God forbid, if you're gay or lesbian,
(01:13):
they're going to put you up on a roof and
throw you off the roof. And they have been the
number one state sponsor of terror for a long time,
which is why Donald Trump took out their nuclear sites.
This is why he took out Solamani. This is why
also Donald Trump beat back the Isis Caliphate. But they
have been fomenting terror around the world for a long
(01:33):
long time, and they can chant, and they've been chanting
in the last week, death to America again. You have
the leaders now talking about well, in a month or
two from now, we will be talking about the death
of Donald J. Trump. They're threatening our president directly. If
you go back after the Iotola commandee came back from
(01:55):
he was in isolation in France. I can't believe France
put him up, by the way, but that's a different
story for a different day. But after the Shah was
overthrown incomes this religious theocracy and anyway, America lived through
and I remember it well, four hundred and forty four
days Americans were held hostage inside of Iran. One of
(02:20):
them is going to join us in a minute. Kevin
her Manning is a marine held captive four hundred and
forty four days. Upon his release, he continued in the military,
completed thirteen years in the Marine Corps, earning multiple honors,
including the Prisoner of War Medal, the Defense Notorious Service Medal,
the US State Department's Award for Valor. And you know
(02:43):
he knows a thing or two about this, you know,
Nazi fascist deocracy regime that is terrorizing and now murdering
the people in that country, the Persian people. Rightly, I
think it's the natural state of man to want liberty
and to want freedom. Our founders are discussed that that
is the natural order of things endowed by our creator,
(03:05):
that rights come from God, they don't come from man anyway. Kevin,
welcome to the program. Glad you're with us.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, thank you, Sean. And you know you and I
have been around long enough to know and when it
comes to Iran, the most dangerous mistake we've made is
pretending that it's a new problem or a misunderstood regime.
Wouldn't you agree with that?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, of course I'd agree with it. And you know,
I want people to fully understand when you were being
held hostage during that time. Four hundred and forty four
days is an awfully long time. I want to know
how you were treated, and I want to know mentally psychologically,
did you always know that your country was behind you,
(03:45):
supporting you, and that would do everything possible to ensure
your release.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Well, to be honest, no, we didn't know that the
United States was even concerning itself with us. Obviously our families,
but we didn't know until after the failed rescue mission
Operation Eagle Cloth, that there was something proactively being planned
by our US government, our military, and really that was
(04:10):
way in April of nineteen eighty. But you know, when
we were first captured, I was a young Marine security
guard twenty years old at the time. But marine security
guards have a dual responsibility. One is to be of
course adhering to our military responsibilities through the Department of Defense,
(04:32):
but also because we have a dual manager, if you will,
or leadership of the Department of State, which is about diplomacy,
and so really marine security guards they're supposed to try
to do their best at diminishing chaos, diminishing conflict. And
the ambassador way back on November fourth, nineteen seventy nine,
(04:52):
Charge de Pair, Bruce Langen, he's the one who ultimately
made the call to lay down our weapons and to
surrender the embassy. But honestly, it's because he and everybody
involved was expecting the Iranian government to do its job
under a millennia several millennia of international law, and that
was to come to the aid of the diplomats and
(05:14):
the staff at the embassy to clear the compound. And
you know, we would go about our daily life. But
indeed the Ayahtola and his followers, they saw this as
an opportunity to consolidate their power, and we became the
Great Satan and the representative of the Great Satan, and
so we were captured. I would say to you one
(05:38):
thing that might be relevant, relevant is that our CIA
station chief, his position was finally declassified about thirteen months ago.
He was held captive. He was held in solitary consignment
for four hundred and twenty five days. And I don't
know how Tom Ahern managed that to endure, and I'm
(06:00):
out a hole man. But after forty three days, I know,
at least for me in solitary, following a failed escape attempt,
that was enough. I was ready to get out of
solitary for sure, and I pretty much was begging the
guards to put me with another room mate. And we
didn't know that was right around the time, right before
when I came out of solitary reciement was right before
(06:22):
the failed rescue mission. And I guess I would be
remiss if you didn't give me ten seconds to say that.
People have referred to the hostages as heroes or what
we've endured, but indeed the only real heroes were those
eight men who selflessly laid down their lives for people
they didn't even know, just so we might have been
(06:42):
freed earlier.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Let me let me talk about how you were treated
when you were being held in captivity. How were you
treated well?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Early on? A lot of blindfolds, a lot of you know,
there was a lot of solitary confinement early on. My
colleagues there were some who were beaten severely during their
interrogations that went on, but you know, just being denied
the BAI.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Why do you think they were beaten and you were
not being beaten?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, I mean I had my own share of that
very early on and then during my following my failed
escape attempt. But some of these guys, senior military officers,
Colonel Schaeffer, Colonel Scott, they were senior military officers and
in the Air Force and the Army military attaches there.
They knew the Shaw's leaders so the Iyahtola and his followers,
(07:34):
those who captured us, they wanted to try to extract
information from these guys. But the information that people working
at embassy largely have Sean And you know some of
this because you've interviewed many people in national security and
diplomatic positions, that their information was really about how can
(07:55):
the United States collaboratively collaboratively work with foreign governments, either
adversaries or allies. And for at least twenty six years
when the shot was in power, we certainly saw a
very tight relationship between the US and Iran. And we
have to go all the way back to those days
(08:15):
because the Soviet Union, the former Soviet Union, shared about
a twelve hundred mile border with the northern northern border
of Iran, and so Iran was a very important player
in the geopolitical front. And so when I think about
these guys who endured that type of treatment and behavior,
(08:38):
and not all of them spent much time, if any
time in solid dr confinement, but just the beatings because
of the interrogations. They played Russian roulette with us. Early on,
they were trying to force the Marines to open up
safes that we didn't have combinations too, and there, you know,
(08:59):
just being isolated Sean, just not knowing what the next
day was going to bring. They would play a lot
of mind games with the correspondence letters to our families
and from our families. The letters that I received from
my folks had every single thing torn out of it
that had anything to do with the negotiations that might
(09:21):
have been going on. What was our government doing to
try to secure our release? And as a result, you know,
we were really very much kept in the dark.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Quick break right back. We'll lot more with Kevin her Maning.
He is a former marine. He was held captive in
and Iran for four hundred and forty four days. More
on the other side, we'll talk a little Super Bowl
food with Linda and much more. Now we continue. Kevin
her Maning is with us, held hostage in Iran for
four hundred and forty four days. You know, it's got
(09:49):
to be so hard. What was the lowest point for you?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, I think the lowest point for pretty much maybe
two thirds of the hostages was in February of nineteen eighty,
about three months after we were captured. They decided to
really play a severe mind game on us. They dragged
us out of our cells that we were in at
the time, lined us up against the wall, stripped us
(10:15):
down to just our shorts, and then while one of
their guards, a couple of their guards went running up
and down the hall, up and down the hallway behind us,
started shouting out execution commands at the top of their
lungs and then chambering their weapons as though we were
about to be executed. And I remember a good friend
of mine, another fellow from Wisconsin, actually Dave Raider, Colonel
(10:40):
Dave Raider and an Air Force fellow. He had enough and
he basically started cursing at the Iranians and shouted to
them to just get it over with if that's what
they really wanted to do. But for all of us,
I would.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Say that was how how did they react to him
fighting back on that?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Or I would say astonished They didn't think that it
was a lot There was a lot of mind game
being played, mind games being played by both sides throughout
the situation, but at that particular time, they were just
so taken aback that that type of resistance was happening.
I mean, we were handcuffed behind our backs and there
(11:21):
wasn't a lot we could have done physically other than
just speaking up.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And I had the I mean, imagine if they're trying
to intimidate you and scare you, and you're saying, go ahead,
pull the pull the trigger. I'm going to see Jesus.
Go ahead, I want to go see Jesus. Tod I
pull the trigger, pull it, do it now?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And and what's interest?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
In other words, you don't give them the reaction that
they want.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
No, they didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
They want to create fear, they want to intimidate, and
I'm not I'm not saying the average person naturally would
respond that way.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
But if bring about submission, no question.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Well, and you know you you you can choose not
to do you obviously, as a marine, I would have
imagine you were probably more equipped than others in the
embassy of the time to handle the stress of that.
And I'm sure that a lot of people that were
held hostage for that length of time were never the same. Again,
you sound like you've recovered really nicely and that you
(12:14):
put this chapter in your life in its proper perspective
and moved on. But I'm sure a lot of the
people that you stayed in touch with did not.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yes, And I would say the following on that topic.
I think youth has a lot to do with the
resilience that people are able to bring about. I think
that being just twenty years old. And then when we
finally were released and we got back to our communities
and our families, what my experience was the Marine Corps
(12:43):
they put me on the road working out of the
recruiting office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but not as a recruiter,
rather in public affairs, and I traveled the state with
the Marine Corps. They had somebody accompany me, and I
spoke at high schools, in rotary club in kawanas, and
church groups. And as a result of that, it really
(13:05):
became a Catharsis for me. And I don't think that
was a plan for the Marines, but it worked for
me because it helped. It helped me understand that I
would rather be defined for what I've done in my
life and rather than for what happened to me. For
four hundred and forty four days, I had a roommate, Sean,
(13:26):
who became a very good friend of mine. We were
roommates for about six months. Bill Kieo was a giant
of a man, weighing six standing six feet nine inches tall,
weighing about three hundred and fifty pounds, and he lost
half of his bodyweight actually literally a little more than
half of his bodyweighting captivity. But Bill Kiol was an
educator who had only been in Iran for twenty four hours,
and he arrived there as part of an international education
(13:49):
agency to gather records from the former Tehran American High
School which had been shut down by the IATOLA, and
then the Americans who were having their kids go there
left the country anyway. But he would always say to me, Kevin,
you know you're a young man. You were at the
age of my kids. And when we get out of here,
and Shawn, he never said if we get out And
(14:10):
that's what educators do. They encourage people. So he said,
when we get out of here, go back, get involved
in your community, complete your education, and make a life
of relevance. And I've never forgotten that because some of
my colleagues they had much worse experiences than I had.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
What they feed you every day, we.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Have we have a lot of chicken legs, a lot
of rice, a lot of grass, and goat guts soup.
It was supposedly as a Delta dot what soup grass
and goat guts soup?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I never developed a taste for that.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm sure you didn't. Honestly, you know you're an inspiration.
You know i'd your resiliency and you're sharing your story
with us, and thank god you're okay. And to all
the other hostages, we pray for them even to this day.
Nobody should have to live through that captivity. Terrible to
lose your freedom, Kevin. We appreciate you, man, God bless
(15:15):
you and stay in touch with us.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Okay, thank you for having me on you bet.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Eight hundred nine point one Sean. If you want to
be a part of the program, now you want Linda's
air fried French fries? I do you want Hannity cooking
for the super Bowl? It's not even close. We'll get
to that in a minute. Eight hundred nine point one, Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, well,
(15:46):
do you want to talk about the super Bowl anymore?
I mean, you did not How do you not know
who's in the super Bowl? When I first asked you,
you did not know? And then we're going to talk
about food because you're you're not a better cook than me.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I well, I think I am. I don't really think
that even warrants a conversation, but that's okay. If you
want to have it, we can have it on Olan.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
How do you cook your French fries?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
That's how we're rating our abilities to cook as French fries.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
How do you cook your French fries in an air fyer? Okay?
And what other food do you cook in an air fryer?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I mean, you can cook anything you want in an
air fryer, but I don't cook it. What do you
cook it in the airfare? I mean you can cook
fried chicken. You can cook if you make like your
own nuggets from scratch, So they're health.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Everybody listening to my voice right now? Do you want
Hannity fried chicken?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
They want to be Maha olive oil or avocado oil
or olive oil. Or do you don't need any of
the air fried crap?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
How about no oil? How about less calories, same great
taste less?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Okay, these are healthy oils MAHA approved.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
But you know what's the healthiest of oil? No oil?
I'm taking the oil out.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
No, Actually, you're wrong. Olive oil is extremely hard healthy
as is.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I wouldn't say it wasn't. I didn't say.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Okay, So if you cook using you don't need it,
why are you adding and and it tastes better? Because
the point is when you're cooking food, you cook food
that tastes good.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
The reason it doesn't taste better for you?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
What is the other crap that you get? Like, for example,
if you were watching the super Bowl this weekend like
every other American, if you.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Were a lot of people, would you make I talked
to people.
Speaker 1 (17:25):

Speaker 4 (18:12):
I cook it in a pan.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Oh you don't air fry it?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
I told you not. Everything goes in the air fryer
just because I own an air fyer. It's not a
one trick pony. Can you use other things like like
a pan?
Speaker 1 (18:22):

from eating my pie, from eating my other food.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Listen, well, they probably figure they better fill up because
you're you know, you're just now, that's not that's not
why my pork ribs are superbe My pork ribs are unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You can't even match them. You could never match the Yeah.
I also will create a shrimp option. I'm actually actually
two options seafood options. One I will make seafood fraudyavlo
and two I will make shrimp scampy. I'm just telling
you I'm a better chef than you. You can't deal
with it.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
You can say it out loud, I'm dealing.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
To Okay, let's go through the phones and say, Tom,
who would you rather Where would you rather eat on
Super Bowl Sunday? At my house or Linda's? Based on
what you just hurt.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Well sewn, I'd rather eat at your house, and next
to that, it would be my house because that's Phil
Mignon on Coast.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Thank you, all right, stay on the line, don't go
anywhere Tennis and Connecticut. Based on this discussion, whose house
would you rather eat at? Mine? Or Linda's?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
They all sound good, but I.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Think, Thank you, Barb Minnesota. Whose house would you rather
eat at mine? Or Linda's?
Speaker 6 (20:57):
I guess I'd better eat at Sewan's.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Thank you, Professor Katz. Where would you like to eat
at my house or Linda's with her air fried French fries?
Speaker 6 (21:08):
Sean, I love you, but your stuff isn't kosher. I
can't eat pork and him so, and I'm chocoholic, so
I'd have to go to Linda.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You don't have to have pork. I have many options
for you. I have seafood options, I have steak options.
I have And Linda didn't mention anything that was kosher
except you know, air fried French fries, she said, and
cake and pies and all that garbage that nobody should
be eating.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Oh see, I'm a chocoholic, so that's that's kind of
a deal breaker.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, if you want chocolate, I'll make I'll bring chocolate
into the house. I always accommodate my guests that my
guests get treated like kings and queens, and I serve everybody. Okay,
what kind of chocolate do you like?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Like a queen?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Absolutely, what kind of chocolate would you like?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Oh my gosh, and I love chocolate chip cookies. I
love chocolate chip ice cream. I love you know, Godiva chocolate.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Any kind hug right, Linda send Professor Kats, you know,
like a bunch of chocolate goodies on from me?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
So you'd rather say, sounder a bottle of olive oil.
Two shone, We don't want to move on. Make sure
she has all the proper oils in her home.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You have to use You have to use it sparingly,
just the right amount. Like, for example, to cook my
sausage and peppers. First, I sautae the sausage right in
a little bit of olive oil, and I brown it
up a little bit, and then you just have to
keep rolling it to get it perfectly browned up. Then
(22:35):
I cut each sausage into individual pieces. I cut up
all the onions I saw tae them in olive oil
and butter, and then I put in silver palapasta sauce
marinera and it is phenomenal and I actually slightly water
(22:56):
it down in this case for my food. That's how
meticulous I am with my cooking. What are you going
to drink?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Are you talking to me or we're Professor Kats.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I'm talking to you.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Probably will drink Bloody Mary's and I probably will have
blinies because it's sprunch.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Time, bloody marriage at six Pmuddy.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Oh, I'm doing brunch, bro I'm not doing the Super
Bowl period. End a sentence. The NFL can kiss my irish. Yes,
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
About it, all right, whatever, You're the only one in America,
all right, Professor Katz. What's on your mind today? How
are you?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Oh? Great?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Well, I'm actually probably the only person going to see
The Notebook with my boyfriend because we are back together.
I dated him from the time I was twelve till
I was twenty five. Then he dumped me for a
rich girl. So now my husband's been passed away eight
years ago. He's divorced, and so we're going to see
(23:52):
the Notebooks and musical and he's really fun because I
planned it on Super Bull Sunday. But I'm excited to
see the Notebook.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I mean, he's losing his man card if he's given
in to go to see The Notebook. And I've seen
the movie and it's cute, and I know, I know
a lot of women love it and they're like, you know,
charmed by it. However, if he's not watching the super
Bowl and going to the notebook. He must really be
in love with you. I'll put it that way.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Oh, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Well listen, you know, since you're taken, you know, I
you know, I'm glad I'm back.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
With Richard, but so well, I only wish your health
and happiness. I mean, honestly, this life is too short.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Thank you, thank you. I just wanted to say a
quick thing. When Gene Hamilton was on by the way,
when he was talking about things that ICE could sue for,
he missed all the invasion of privacy charts, false light
he could, they could super false light. You place somebody
in a highly offensive false light in the public eye,
intrusion into seclusion when you go into their private you know,
(24:59):
docsing paper and their addresses and things, or public disclosure
of private facts, emotional distress. I mean, separate from all
the federal things that he mentioned. But the thing that
always just absolutely burns Mom and I is a constant
false comparison. It's not even a comparison. You don't talk
(25:19):
about Hitler and the Nazis in the same breath as
our ICE agents forty four thousand. You know, I don't
know sports either, but Forty four thousand is a number
of concentration camps, six of which were extermination camps. Mom
was in Auschwitz, Mom was in Geisling, and Mom was
liberated by the US army and Dachau. Four hundred thousand
(25:41):
of our US military were killed fighting against the real Nazis.
They weren't deporting people because they were here illegally. They
were deported. They were killing people just because they were Jews.
Six million, that's the number. That's the number of Jews
that were killed by the Nazis. And you know, it
just goes on and on. And they did this in
(26:03):
twenty sixteen when President Trump ran because he wanted to
build the wall. They're doing it now again, as you
so rightly said, because of trying to, you know, get power.
And it's just everybody, all of the Republicans, and everybody's
got to stop being afraid that, oh, they're going to
call me a racist or whatever. How many people who
work for ICE are minorities. This has nothing to do
(26:25):
with that. And when you had Rocanna on, what about
the fourteen year old who was sodomized and raped by
a Mexican illegal alien. And that is the proper term
stop getting caught up with illegal immigration migrants. They're not migrants.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
They're not Listen, professor, I am telling you, we're doing
work that nobody else on the media will do. We
keep scrolling the names of the people that commit the
worst crimes. I've got to run good luck at your
musical and he lost his man card in my mind.
I'm just saying, you can go see the No Book
any other day of the week. Appreciate you being with us,
(27:04):
Tom flarid to go ahead, Tom, and I just.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Want to talk about the people that are up in mine,
Minneapolis and around the country that are going crazy about
all these deportions. One point six.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Million deportations, Yes, sir, themselves.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
So if one point six million deported themselves, it doesn't
mean it's all that bad.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I missed that last part. What's up?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
If one point six million people deported themselves, it can't
be that bad.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Well, no, because you had twelve million under Biden, and
we had like eleven million beforehand. And here's the problem
under Biden, Harris may Orgus is among them are the
worst of the worst. And you know, so far they
have captured and deported about seven hundred thousand of the
worst criminals, and we still have murderers, rapists, pile molesters,
(27:52):
known terrorists in the country. And it's frustrating to me that,
you know, not only do they not gay credit and
applauded for what they're doing, they get demonized and a
rush to judgment every time and they get called Nazi gestapo.
I mean, the left has lost the plot and I'm
okay with that because we're heading into an election year
(28:14):
and if that's their platform, I'm all for it because
I don't think it's going to sell with the American people.
That's my best guess, tom My Free State of Florida
appreciate you more than you know. Eight hundred nine four one.

(29:18):
Say DVR. We'll see them back here tomorrow. Thank you
for making this show possible.
All right, News roundup and information overload hour. Here's our
(00:02):
toll free telephone number if you want to be a
part of the program at eight hundred nine four one
Sean if you want to join us. There is a
lot going on as it relates to Iran. If I
had to guess, is going to be soon some action
by President Trump. And we have now seen a ratcheting
up of the tensions we've had the USS Abraham Lincoln
(00:27):
had to send up fighter jets to take out an
aggressive drone and American forces now shot that down. As
the naval build up is continuing, and I would imagine
you're going to see probably a series of attacks against
those people responsible for cracking down and murdering innocent people
who were actually peacefully protesting from all that I could see,
(00:51):
and it's you know this, look, this is a Nazi
theocracy regime. This is a regime where people do not
have rights. This is a regime that literally kills people
for no reason. And you know, women are treated like
third class citizens. God forbid, if you're gay or lesbian,
(01:13):
they're going to put you up on a roof and
throw you off the roof. And they have been the
number one state sponsor of terror for a long time,
which is why Donald Trump took out their nuclear sites.
This is why he took out Solamani. This is why
also Donald Trump beat back the Isis Caliphate. But they
have been fomenting terror around the world for a long
(01:33):
long time, and they can chant, and they've been chanting
in the last week, death to America again. You have
the leaders now talking about well, in a month or
two from now, we will be talking about the death
of Donald J. Trump. They're threatening our president directly. If
you go back after the Iotola commandee came back from
(01:55):
he was in isolation in France. I can't believe France
put him up, by the way, but that's a different
story for a different day. But after the Shah was
overthrown incomes this religious theocracy and anyway, America lived through
and I remember it well, four hundred and forty four
days Americans were held hostage inside of Iran. One of
(02:20):
them is going to join us in a minute. Kevin
her Manning is a marine held captive four hundred and
forty four days. Upon his release, he continued in the military,
completed thirteen years in the Marine Corps, earning multiple honors,
including the Prisoner of War Medal, the Defense Notorious Service Medal,
the US State Department's Award for Valor. And you know
(02:43):
he knows a thing or two about this, you know,
Nazi fascist deocracy regime that is terrorizing and now murdering
the people in that country, the Persian people. Rightly, I
think it's the natural state of man to want liberty
and to want freedom. Our founders are discussed that that
is the natural order of things endowed by our creator,
(03:05):
that rights come from God, they don't come from man anyway. Kevin,
welcome to the program. Glad you're with us.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, thank you, Sean. And you know you and I
have been around long enough to know and when it
comes to Iran, the most dangerous mistake we've made is
pretending that it's a new problem or a misunderstood regime.
Wouldn't you agree with that?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, of course I'd agree with it. And you know,
I want people to fully understand when you were being
held hostage during that time. Four hundred and forty four
days is an awfully long time. I want to know
how you were treated, and I want to know mentally psychologically,
did you always know that your country was behind you,
(03:45):
supporting you, and that would do everything possible to ensure
your release.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Well, to be honest, no, we didn't know that the
United States was even concerning itself with us. Obviously our families,
but we didn't know until after the failed rescue mission
Operation Eagle Cloth, that there was something proactively being planned
by our US government, our military, and really that was
(04:10):
way in April of nineteen eighty. But you know, when
we were first captured, I was a young Marine security
guard twenty years old at the time. But marine security
guards have a dual responsibility. One is to be of
course adhering to our military responsibilities through the Department of Defense,
(04:32):
but also because we have a dual manager, if you will,
or leadership of the Department of State, which is about diplomacy,
and so really marine security guards they're supposed to try
to do their best at diminishing chaos, diminishing conflict. And
the ambassador way back on November fourth, nineteen seventy nine,
(04:52):
Charge de Pair, Bruce Langen, he's the one who ultimately
made the call to lay down our weapons and to
surrender the embassy. But honestly, it's because he and everybody
involved was expecting the Iranian government to do its job
under a millennia several millennia of international law, and that
was to come to the aid of the diplomats and
(05:14):
the staff at the embassy to clear the compound. And
you know, we would go about our daily life. But
indeed the Ayahtola and his followers, they saw this as
an opportunity to consolidate their power, and we became the
Great Satan and the representative of the Great Satan, and
so we were captured. I would say to you one
(05:38):
thing that might be relevant, relevant is that our CIA
station chief, his position was finally declassified about thirteen months ago.
He was held captive. He was held in solitary consignment
for four hundred and twenty five days. And I don't
know how Tom Ahern managed that to endure, and I'm
(06:00):
out a hole man. But after forty three days, I know,
at least for me in solitary, following a failed escape attempt,
that was enough. I was ready to get out of
solitary for sure, and I pretty much was begging the
guards to put me with another room mate. And we
didn't know that was right around the time, right before
when I came out of solitary reciement was right before
(06:22):
the failed rescue mission. And I guess I would be
remiss if you didn't give me ten seconds to say that.
People have referred to the hostages as heroes or what
we've endured, but indeed the only real heroes were those
eight men who selflessly laid down their lives for people
they didn't even know, just so we might have been
(06:42):
freed earlier.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Let me let me talk about how you were treated
when you were being held in captivity. How were you
treated well?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Early on? A lot of blindfolds, a lot of you know,
there was a lot of solitary confinement early on. My
colleagues there were some who were beaten severely during their
interrogations that went on, but you know, just being denied
the BAI.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Why do you think they were beaten and you were
not being beaten?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, I mean I had my own share of that
very early on and then during my following my failed
escape attempt. But some of these guys, senior military officers,
Colonel Schaeffer, Colonel Scott, they were senior military officers and
in the Air Force and the Army military attaches there.
They knew the Shaw's leaders so the Iyahtola and his followers,
(07:34):
those who captured us, they wanted to try to extract
information from these guys. But the information that people working
at embassy largely have Sean And you know some of
this because you've interviewed many people in national security and
diplomatic positions, that their information was really about how can
(07:55):
the United States collaboratively collaboratively work with foreign governments, either
adversaries or allies. And for at least twenty six years
when the shot was in power, we certainly saw a
very tight relationship between the US and Iran. And we
have to go all the way back to those days
(08:15):
because the Soviet Union, the former Soviet Union, shared about
a twelve hundred mile border with the northern northern border
of Iran, and so Iran was a very important player
in the geopolitical front. And so when I think about
these guys who endured that type of treatment and behavior,
(08:38):
and not all of them spent much time, if any
time in solid dr confinement, but just the beatings because
of the interrogations. They played Russian roulette with us. Early on,
they were trying to force the Marines to open up
safes that we didn't have combinations too, and there, you know,
(08:59):
just being isolated Sean, just not knowing what the next
day was going to bring. They would play a lot
of mind games with the correspondence letters to our families
and from our families. The letters that I received from
my folks had every single thing torn out of it
that had anything to do with the negotiations that might
(09:21):
have been going on. What was our government doing to
try to secure our release? And as a result, you know,
we were really very much kept in the dark.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Quick break right back. We'll lot more with Kevin her Maning.
He is a former marine. He was held captive in
and Iran for four hundred and forty four days. More
on the other side, we'll talk a little Super Bowl
food with Linda and much more. Now we continue. Kevin
her Maning is with us, held hostage in Iran for
four hundred and forty four days. You know, it's got
(09:49):
to be so hard. What was the lowest point for you?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, I think the lowest point for pretty much maybe
two thirds of the hostages was in February of nineteen eighty,
about three months after we were captured. They decided to
really play a severe mind game on us. They dragged
us out of our cells that we were in at
the time, lined us up against the wall, stripped us
(10:15):
down to just our shorts, and then while one of
their guards, a couple of their guards went running up
and down the hall, up and down the hallway behind us,
started shouting out execution commands at the top of their
lungs and then chambering their weapons as though we were
about to be executed. And I remember a good friend
of mine, another fellow from Wisconsin, actually Dave Raider, Colonel
(10:40):
Dave Raider and an Air Force fellow. He had enough and
he basically started cursing at the Iranians and shouted to
them to just get it over with if that's what
they really wanted to do. But for all of us,
I would.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Say that was how how did they react to him
fighting back on that?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Or I would say astonished They didn't think that it
was a lot There was a lot of mind game
being played, mind games being played by both sides throughout
the situation, but at that particular time, they were just
so taken aback that that type of resistance was happening.
I mean, we were handcuffed behind our backs and there
(11:21):
wasn't a lot we could have done physically other than
just speaking up.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And I had the I mean, imagine if they're trying
to intimidate you and scare you, and you're saying, go ahead,
pull the pull the trigger. I'm going to see Jesus.
Go ahead, I want to go see Jesus. Tod I
pull the trigger, pull it, do it now?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And and what's interest?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
In other words, you don't give them the reaction that
they want.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
No, they didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
They want to create fear, they want to intimidate, and
I'm not I'm not saying the average person naturally would
respond that way.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
But if bring about submission, no question.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Well, and you know you you you can choose not
to do you obviously, as a marine, I would have
imagine you were probably more equipped than others in the
embassy of the time to handle the stress of that.
And I'm sure that a lot of people that were
held hostage for that length of time were never the same. Again,
you sound like you've recovered really nicely and that you
(12:14):
put this chapter in your life in its proper perspective
and moved on. But I'm sure a lot of the
people that you stayed in touch with did not.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yes, And I would say the following on that topic.
I think youth has a lot to do with the
resilience that people are able to bring about. I think
that being just twenty years old. And then when we
finally were released and we got back to our communities
and our families, what my experience was the Marine Corps
(12:43):
they put me on the road working out of the
recruiting office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but not as a recruiter,
rather in public affairs, and I traveled the state with
the Marine Corps. They had somebody accompany me, and I
spoke at high schools, in rotary club in kawanas, and
church groups. And as a result of that, it really
(13:05):
became a Catharsis for me. And I don't think that
was a plan for the Marines, but it worked for
me because it helped. It helped me understand that I
would rather be defined for what I've done in my
life and rather than for what happened to me. For
four hundred and forty four days, I had a roommate, Sean,
(13:26):
who became a very good friend of mine. We were
roommates for about six months. Bill Kieo was a giant
of a man, weighing six standing six feet nine inches tall,
weighing about three hundred and fifty pounds, and he lost
half of his bodyweight actually literally a little more than
half of his bodyweighting captivity. But Bill Kiol was an
educator who had only been in Iran for twenty four hours,
and he arrived there as part of an international education
(13:49):
agency to gather records from the former Tehran American High
School which had been shut down by the IATOLA, and
then the Americans who were having their kids go there
left the country anyway. But he would always say to me, Kevin,
you know you're a young man. You were at the
age of my kids. And when we get out of here,
and Shawn, he never said if we get out And
(14:10):
that's what educators do. They encourage people. So he said,
when we get out of here, go back, get involved
in your community, complete your education, and make a life
of relevance. And I've never forgotten that because some of
my colleagues they had much worse experiences than I had.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
What they feed you every day, we.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Have we have a lot of chicken legs, a lot
of rice, a lot of grass, and goat guts soup.
It was supposedly as a Delta dot what soup grass
and goat guts soup?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I never developed a taste for that.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm sure you didn't. Honestly, you know you're an inspiration.
You know i'd your resiliency and you're sharing your story
with us, and thank god you're okay. And to all
the other hostages, we pray for them even to this day.
Nobody should have to live through that captivity. Terrible to
lose your freedom, Kevin. We appreciate you, man, God bless
(15:15):
you and stay in touch with us.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Okay, thank you for having me on you bet.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Eight hundred nine point one Sean. If you want to
be a part of the program, now you want Linda's
air fried French fries? I do you want Hannity cooking
for the super Bowl? It's not even close. We'll get
to that in a minute. Eight hundred nine point one, Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, well,
(15:46):
do you want to talk about the super Bowl anymore?
I mean, you did not How do you not know
who's in the super Bowl? When I first asked you,
you did not know? And then we're going to talk
about food because you're you're not a better cook than me.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I well, I think I am. I don't really think
that even warrants a conversation, but that's okay. If you
want to have it, we can have it on Olan.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
How do you cook your French fries?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
That's how we're rating our abilities to cook as French fries.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
How do you cook your French fries in an air fyer? Okay?
And what other food do you cook in an air fryer?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I mean, you can cook anything you want in an
air fryer, but I don't cook it. What do you
cook it in the airfare? I mean you can cook
fried chicken. You can cook if you make like your
own nuggets from scratch, So they're health.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Everybody listening to my voice right now? Do you want
Hannity fried chicken?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
They want to be Maha olive oil or avocado oil
or olive oil. Or do you don't need any of
the air fried crap?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
How about no oil? How about less calories, same great
taste less?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Okay, these are healthy oils MAHA approved.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
But you know what's the healthiest of oil? No oil?
I'm taking the oil out.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
No, Actually, you're wrong. Olive oil is extremely hard healthy
as is.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I wouldn't say it wasn't. I didn't say.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Okay, So if you cook using you don't need it,
why are you adding and and it tastes better? Because
the point is when you're cooking food, you cook food
that tastes good.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
The reason it doesn't taste better for you?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
What is the other crap that you get? Like, for example,
if you were watching the super Bowl this weekend like
every other American, if you.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Were a lot of people, would you make I talked
to people.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I don't want to talk about that. I want to
talk about what would you make? What would you make
to eat?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
We make heroes, we make dips heroes.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, what kind of heroes?
Speaker 5 (17:36):
You know?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Italian subs like big heroes. I don't know what you
guys call.
Speaker 1 (17:39):

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Spinach dip, steak tacos. Let me ask you a question.
How do you cook your taco meat?
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I cook it in a pan.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Oh you don't air fry it?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
I told you not. Everything goes in the air fryer
just because I own an air fyer. It's not a
one trick pony. Can you use other things like like
a pan?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Use hard too doing it?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I'm having a brunch on Sunday and we're not watching
the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Having a brunch on Sunday? And what are you going

Why not?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Because I don't know? I don't eat sugar.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Oh, but it makes everything taste better.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
You don't like sugar, No, I don't. I try. I
can use eggs.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Well, you can eat other things, Sean, you know you don't.

Okay, I'm making pork. I'm making pork ribs. You want
to know what I'm making. I'm making pork ribs. I'm
going to make sausage and onions, mild Italian sausage from
a butcher, which is delicious. I don't put peppers in
because I don't love peppers.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Do you have no hormones and no vaccines in your meat?
Do you make sure of that?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Of course? Of course? Okay, grass fed, wonderful organic. I'm
going to have steaks available. I'm gonna make tomahawk rabbis.
For people that want carbs, I can make potatoes for them.
I'll make like potatoes or grotten.

I already whooped your ass because I can. I'm a
great baker.

Whoop my ass. Okay, I'm gonna sit there and I'm
gonna pound out making a pie that nobody really is
gonna end up eating anyway, because they're gonna be stuff
from eating my pie, from eating my other food.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Listen, well, they probably figure they better fill up because
you're you know, you're just now, that's not that's not
why my pork ribs are superbe My pork ribs are unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You can't even match them. You could never match the Yeah.
I also will create a shrimp option. I'm actually actually
two options seafood options. One I will make seafood fraudyavlo
and two I will make shrimp scampy. I'm just telling

Speaker 4 (20:23):
You can say it out loud, I'm dealing.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
To Okay, let's go through the phones and say, Tom,

Super Bowl Sunday? At my house or Linda's? Based on
what you just hurt.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Well sewn, I'd rather eat at your house, and next
to that, it would be my house because that's Phil
Mignon on Coast.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Thank you, all right, stay on the line, don't go
anywhere Tennis and Connecticut. Based on this discussion, whose house
would you rather eat at? Mine? Or Linda's?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
They all sound good, but I.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Think, Thank you, Barb Minnesota. Whose house would you rather
eat at mine? Or Linda's?
Speaker 6 (20:57):
I guess I'd better eat at Sewan's.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Thank you, Professor Katz. Where would you like to eat
at my house or Linda's with her air fried French fries?
Speaker 6 (21:08):
Sean, I love you, but your stuff isn't kosher. I
can't eat pork and him so, and I'm chocoholic, so
I'd have to go to Linda.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You don't have to have pork. I have many options
for you. I have seafood options, I have steak options.
I have And Linda didn't mention anything that was kosher
except you know, air fried French fries, she said, and
cake and pies and all that garbage that nobody should
be eating.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Oh see, I'm a chocoholic, so that's that's kind of
a deal breaker.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, if you want chocolate, I'll make I'll bring chocolate
into the house. I always accommodate my guests that my
guests get treated like kings and queens, and I serve everybody. Okay,
what kind of chocolate do you like?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Like a queen?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Absolutely, what kind of chocolate would you like?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Oh my gosh, and I love chocolate chip cookies. I
love chocolate chip ice cream. I love you know, Godiva chocolate.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Any kind hug right, Linda send Professor Kats, you know,
like a bunch of chocolate goodies on from me?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
So you'd rather say, sounder a bottle of olive oil.
Two shone, We don't want to move on. Make sure
she has all the proper oils in her home.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You have to use You have to use it sparingly,
just the right amount. Like, for example, to cook my
sausage and peppers. First, I sautae the sausage right in
a little bit of olive oil, and I brown it
up a little bit, and then you just have to
keep rolling it to get it perfectly browned up. Then
(22:35):
I cut each sausage into individual pieces. I cut up
all the onions I saw tae them in olive oil
and butter, and then I put in silver palapasta sauce
marinera and it is phenomenal and I actually slightly water
(22:56):
it down in this case for my food. That's how
meticulous I am with my cooking. What are you going
to drink?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Are you talking to me or we're Professor Kats.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I'm talking to you.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Probably will drink Bloody Mary's and I probably will have
blinies because it's sprunch.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Time, bloody marriage at six Pmuddy.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Oh, I'm doing brunch, bro I'm not doing the Super
Bowl period. End a sentence. The NFL can kiss my irish. Yes,
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
About it, all right, whatever, You're the only one in America,
all right, Professor Katz. What's on your mind today? How
are you?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Oh? Great?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Well, I'm actually probably the only person going to see
The Notebook with my boyfriend because we are back together.
I dated him from the time I was twelve till
I was twenty five. Then he dumped me for a
rich girl. So now my husband's been passed away eight
years ago. He's divorced, and so we're going to see
(23:52):
the Notebooks and musical and he's really fun because I
planned it on Super Bull Sunday. But I'm excited to
see the Notebook.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I mean, he's losing his man card if he's given
in to go to see The Notebook. And I've seen
the movie and it's cute, and I know, I know
a lot of women love it and they're like, you know,
charmed by it. However, if he's not watching the super
Bowl and going to the notebook. He must really be
in love with you. I'll put it that way.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Oh, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Well listen, you know, since you're taken, you know, I
you know, I'm glad I'm back.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
With Richard, but so well, I only wish your health
and happiness. I mean, honestly, this life is too short.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Thank you, thank you. I just wanted to say a
quick thing. When Gene Hamilton was on by the way,
when he was talking about things that ICE could sue for,
he missed all the invasion of privacy charts, false light
he could, they could super false light. You place somebody
in a highly offensive false light in the public eye,
intrusion into seclusion when you go into their private you know,
(24:59):
docsing paper and their addresses and things, or public disclosure
of private facts, emotional distress. I mean, separate from all
the federal things that he mentioned. But the thing that
always just absolutely burns Mom and I is a constant
false comparison. It's not even a comparison. You don't talk
(25:19):
about Hitler and the Nazis in the same breath as
our ICE agents forty four thousand. You know, I don't
know sports either, but Forty four thousand is a number
of concentration camps, six of which were extermination camps. Mom
was in Auschwitz, Mom was in Geisling, and Mom was
liberated by the US army and Dachau. Four hundred thousand
(25:41):
of our US military were killed fighting against the real Nazis.
They weren't deporting people because they were here illegally. They
were deported. They were killing people just because they were Jews.
Six million, that's the number. That's the number of Jews
that were killed by the Nazis. And you know, it
just goes on and on. And they did this in
(26:03):
twenty sixteen when President Trump ran because he wanted to
build the wall. They're doing it now again, as you
so rightly said, because of trying to, you know, get power.
And it's just everybody, all of the Republicans, and everybody's
got to stop being afraid that, oh, they're going to
call me a racist or whatever. How many people who
work for ICE are minorities. This has nothing to do
(26:25):
with that. And when you had Rocanna on, what about
the fourteen year old who was sodomized and raped by
a Mexican illegal alien. And that is the proper term
stop getting caught up with illegal immigration migrants. They're not migrants.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
They're not Listen, professor, I am telling you, we're doing
work that nobody else on the media will do. We
keep scrolling the names of the people that commit the
worst crimes. I've got to run good luck at your
musical and he lost his man card in my mind.
I'm just saying, you can go see the No Book
any other day of the week. Appreciate you being with us,
(27:04):
Tom flarid to go ahead, Tom, and I just.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Want to talk about the people that are up in mine,
Minneapolis and around the country that are going crazy about
all these deportions. One point six.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Million deportations, Yes, sir, themselves.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
So if one point six million deported themselves, it doesn't
mean it's all that bad.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I missed that last part. What's up?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
If one point six million people deported themselves, it can't
be that bad.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Well, no, because you had twelve million under Biden, and
we had like eleven million beforehand. And here's the problem
under Biden, Harris may Orgus is among them are the
worst of the worst. And you know, so far they
have captured and deported about seven hundred thousand of the
worst criminals, and we still have murderers, rapists, pile molesters,
(27:52):
known terrorists in the country. And it's frustrating to me that,
you know, not only do they not gay credit and
applauded for what they're doing, they get demonized and a
rush to judgment every time and they get called Nazi gestapo.
I mean, the left has lost the plot and I'm
okay with that because we're heading into an election year
(28:14):
and if that's their platform, I'm all for it because
I don't think it's going to sell with the American people.
That's my best guess, tom My Free State of Florida

part of the program that's been wrappings up with today.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
