Uh, Linda, they didn't win by a hundred, but they did win. So you've got the colors right this year. And that's the test. Uh yeah, you're eat me, Ethan. I've been right the last four years by just picking colors. You fusing that as a petting as the picking colors. You know what? You know? I love this. This is why you know liberals love art. They're artists. They love art. They love crucifix is submerged in urine and elephant Doug on the Virgin Mary and that to them is art. You know, look at Matt Ryan when he threw the ball to Julio Jones and literally off the fingertips of the Patriots defender on the sidelines. Such a gutsy throw. You talk about threading a needle. There is an art to sports that you cannot duplicate, as evidence by the massive braidings the Super Bowl had last night, as you can imagine the first time ever. Why I like this and why I picked What did I say? And we'll get to predictions later in the show. What did I say? I said, you can't take the experience of Belichick, Brady and Bob Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, out of the equation. Now, Matt Ryan is a phenomenal quarterback. He had a phenomenal game. He did nothing wrong except play and it really wasn't his fault towards the end of the game in the fourth quarter, which is the only turnover that really mannered for them, and and Brady earlier in the game had thrown a pick six. So it's just such a great game. And it's why, you know, I get bored in museums and why why do people love sports this much? Because it's you don't get any better than that, and literally from behind, and so many of my friends were writing me, this is gonna be just like Trump on Election night. He's gonna win, just like it's not like the election. It's not like the eggs and Poles were right. They were wrong. And there were so many friends of mine in Atlanta writing me, uh, not this year. We got it this year, and I'm like not so I kept saying the game isn't over until the last second ticks off the clock, and sure enough, it became one of the greatest games ever. You know. One of the reasons I defended Tom Brady on the flake Gate. And it's hard for a guy that's a Jets and Giants fan to do that, but I am. I am a Tom Brady fan, and I just admire his skill. You can deny at this point he goes down in history as one of, if not the greatest quarterback ever to play in the NFL. What you saw was just mastery last night, in the fourth quarter and in overtime by just one of the most skilled, pressured players ever to put on an NFL uniforms unbelievable. And I always thought the flake Gate was a bunch of nonsense. First of all, they had killed the Cults by like forty points. It wasn't like a close game. And things came down to the fact Tom Brady likes there's a a pressure zone where you can have it between I think twelve pounds were square. In's thirteen pounds were square, and whatever it is. Aaron Rodgers likes the maximum amount of pressure legally can put in and Tom for feel wise like the minimal amount. It's just preference based on a quarterback. And by the way, it's so insignificant you can't really tell the difference. And so they have this big fight over to flake Gate and everybody's calling him a cheater. Okay, well I guess he showed everybody last night. Well, first of all that the NFL should have been monitoring the football halls and in control of the footballs in the first place, not the teams. And number two that you cannot take away what a great player he is. Just look at what happened last night in the game. You know, it's it's just one thing. And this is what I love about sports. Every professional athlete don't think about this in terms of your own life. Every professional athlete is a risk taker, every one of them. Every professional athlete runs the risk that their body at some point is going to give out and break down. Every average time an NFL player is a professional is like three and a half years. And that's assuming they survived four hard college years, four hard high school years and you know, sort of like youth football, and they come through without any major significant injuries and that they're able to get to that level. But the average lifespan of an NFL players under four years. And by the way, BIB regulation, if you want the exact p s I, it's what twelve and a half to thirteen and a half pounds per square inch p s I for a football. So everyone's making a big deal. It was so insignificant. The difference and the quality and the weather have an impact on whether or not some of the balls might lose a little ps I. And if you start out at twelve point five and it goes below twelve point five, they made such a big deal out of nothing, as if that made the difference in a game that they won anyway. So every athlete, I don't care. If you're a pitcher in baseball, you're looking at the most skilled people if you can throw a fastball, you know, hundred miles an hour, or in the case of Chapman who now plays for the Yankees again the reliever a hundred and five miles an hour. And if you can hit a ball a hundred five miles an hour, and if you could you know, pull a Plexico a Burris and pull in a one hander, or you know any of these great receivers. Look at Edelman last night in that catch that just it didn't hit the ground, but it was like an inch above the ground, and he held onto it and got control of the football. You're watching the threading of a needle at such a high level. But every their entire career is a risk. You know, they're risking their whole life. Some players will never ever get to a Super Bowl and achieve their dream. Some players will never get to a World Series. Some hockey players will never get to a World Cup. And you may never get a big pay day. And then you've given up a good portion of the younger years in your life, training every single day, trying to be the best person you can be. And then you've got these few rare, very extremely talented people that make it to the top and those are the ones that we cheer for. Why because they work so hard to get there and we can't do what they do. And that's the amazing part of it, you know, and the risk that they may never get paid those contracts here, Oh they got a fifty million dollar content's not guaranteed in the NFL. Maybe half if you're lucky. We had Joe Tisman on the program last week. It signed a five year deal. At the time, it was a lot of money, a million dollars a year. And then Lawrence Taylor broke his leg. It was a career ending injury and he never played in the NFL again. And younger players are always behind you, trying to get your job. So look at the pictures today. They're trying so hard that how many pictures now have Tommy John surgery. You know, look at the injuries, the concussion impact issue that the NFL has been having because these guys have taken so many hits and they're encouraged to play so hard. It's pretty incredible. But I love about the sports, and what I love about all sports is it represents and duplicates life. And if you train like an athlete in whatever field of endeavor you want to be in, and you find your passion and you work to be the best you could be and get good at what it is that you love. And you learn that you're not gonna have a straight you know, um vertical vertical uh trajectory in your career. That things, you know, a little up and down, two steps forward, one step back, et cetera. It's a little jagged. You learn how to win, that's the fun part. You weren't how to lose. And then you learn from your mistakes and you try and get better. And you also learned that the harder you work, whatever your field of endeavor is, it's it's likely you're gonna be better at what you do. And there are a lot of people that are fundamentally in life lazy. They don't want to put the hard work in. They think that they're just gonna get to the NFL and that all the glory and all the money and all the all the accolades come with it, and they don't want to put the work in. And if you put the work, and look at the guys that always seem to do the best, they work the hardest. Look at the Patriots team discipline leading up to a Super Bowl. Nobody's out there in the media, you know, challenging and inspiring the other team. They're focused fully on what they do. They have their media day, which I'm sure Belichick and It would never want to do if you paid him five times as much as he's paid. I love his press conferences. How don't think the game was gonna go coach? I don't think it's going good. How about you? Next question, are you prepared for the Atlanta Falcons? Yeah, we're prepared. The next question, how many times have we interview people like that over the years? Okay, get that person off the phone. It's like, what's the point. But he doesn't on purpose, he doesn't want to give away secrets. I could tell you how to fix c ann tomorrow. I could tell you how to fix MSNBC. I could tell you things that would definitely work. I could tell the media how to fix the horrible ratings and their low approval rating with their audience. It would start with a maya culpa, admitting that they've been wrong in one sided and biased and yes they colluded with a political candidate, but they're not gonna do that either. Anyway. It was just a great game, and yeah, I know there was politics, and I know some of the ads were offensive. Lady Gaga I thought did a great job. She really kind of impressed me more than I thought i'd be impressed, and I paid a lot of attention to it. So anyway, we'll talk about that throughout the day. We'll go to our predictions from Friday. We also have the immigration ban and we're waiting a Ninth Circuit court of approval. Now, you gotta remember the Ninth Circuit San Francisco, one of the most liberal courts in the country. I'm not expecting a whole lot there. We've got a big story about Republicans going wobbly. Nobody in the media seems to be putting together when I'm putting together. In terms of Iran, you have the President speaking at scentcom this uh this morning and talking to the people over there. Between what General Flynn said, now pay attention. Follow the bouncing ball here with General Flynn said, we're putting you on notice what Trump said, I'm not Barack Obama, I'm not him as friendly as him. Then the sanctions are in place, Then the USS coal is placed off the coast of Yemen. Then the president goes to scent com um you and the Iranians are say, are rattling. You gotta know that something may happen here and it's not going to be a protracted war. So then it really then limits the options of what I think could potentially happen. And we know where Donald Trump, the President stands on the nuclear deal. We know that he was against. You know, remember the original promise was any place, anytime inspections. Well that never happened. We have no U S inspectors. They have twenty five days notice. They got to continue to spend their centerfuges. They partnered with the Russians on missile defense, which is one of the the best defense systems built in the world today, and they paid a ransom and they gave him a hundred and fifty billion dollars. So you know, there's there's a lot of movement here that nobody's paying attention to. That we'll get to. The most important thing that I think happened over the weekend is and you know, everyone's making a big deal about Kelly m Is speaking about Bowling Green and a terror case and it's been a four day story. But when the judge that blocked President Trump's terrors travel ban on Friday night. You know, made an incredible courtroom blunder, which is almost certainly I think guided in his ruling in the case, it seemed like he relied on all left fake news and the media could care less. I'll tell you what that's about, and what I think is going to happen with the courts and where this is gonna end up. Now, the administration has a deadline until I think, what's six o'clock today to get in there and put in a rebuttal to the Ninth Circuit. They might even wait until Neil Gorsitch is approved of the Supreme Court and may make an appeal there. I'll have to wait and see. You know, there are a lot of options when it comes to buying flowers for Valentine's Day, but there's only one true rose authority.

Do it now for all the women in your life that you love. So let me explain give you boring background details that you kind of need to understand what this immigration ban is about, how it is at the ninth circuit, where it goes from here? What happens next? Uh? The deadline for states Washington Minnesota file their opposition of the d j's appeal is what data is today? The fifth six was last night, Okay, February six is the deadline for the Trump Department of Justice to file its reply to the state's opposition, So that could happen tonight. Meaning the Ninth Circuit. But if you go back, the state of Washington first filed the lawsuit against Trump and various agencies, including DHS in one of what is going to be many legal challenges by the left to stop the Trump agenda. What they can't do legislatively, what they can't win at the elect at the UH during elections, in the elections, they try to do through judges. That's why Neil Gorst's appointed to the Supreme Court so important. So January thirty, they put in a request for a temporary restraining order. They filed that a complaint. The Judge of Minnesota joined the lawsuit. The next day or two days later, the federal judge James Robart issued a temporary blocking enforcement of Trump's executive order. Then the Department of Justice appealed that decision to the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit denied to take up the motion to reinstate the Apple band in the early morning in an over night ruling. And what happens next is the deadline for the Department of Justice to file their reply is at three pm Pacific time six pm Eastern time. Alright, So that's the that's the timeline. The Ninth Circuit. What this comes down to is when it was issued, you had plaintiffs. What the lower court judge said is the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits that they've established that there are serious questions going to the merits of their claims. Now, what they're ignoring here is the actual law of the land, and this is pivotal in this case. If you want to understand what this is really all about, because I'll give you what the law eight usc Us Code two says, pay close attention. Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or any class of aliens into the US would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may, by proclamation and for such period, remember this was temporary, as he shall deem necessary suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem appropriate. The law cannot be any more clear than that. Now, what you have here is once again judicial activism. What you have here is legislating from the bench, and we've got evidence to prove that, which I'll get to when we get back on this busy Monday edition. Well, who was calling? I guess it was Maxine Waters is now calling for Donald Trump's impeachment, is what she said? Congress. I mean, you served several different presidential administrations. From your tenured opinion, What that the American people can really expect over the next four years out of President Trump? Well, I hope he's not there for four years. Um. I hope that you know this man and who he is, what he's done, the way that he's defined himself, the way that he's acting. I am hoping that we're able to reveal all of this, and my greatest desire is to lead him right into impeachment. That's their goal, all right. So now that's their stated goal. I told you and tweeted out what the Democrats and David Brock and the media matters Crawd. One of their top strategies to stop Trump is to use the court system, which I just went over and again. Now they have a decision to make, and that is whether or not they will file The Department of Justice will file their reply by three pm today Pacific time six pm Eastern time. As it relates to the travel Band Now you know, I old Kelly an miss spoke about Bowling Green, big deal and the terror case there, and they are the media can't stand if you say one thing, but we have alternative facts. What are your mere alternative In other words, we don't agree with your interpretation. We think you're lying. That's what alternative facts means. Everybody knew, everybody understood. But anything Trump is going to be treated much differently than anything Hillary or Obama by the colluding media. So when a judge blocks President Trump's terrorist travel band, now remember all this is is temporary. Of the three thousand travelers that day, a hundred and nine were inconvenienced. Now it's a question of do you prefer inconvenience for people coming into the country versus gambling with the lives of Americans? And I think the answer is pretty simple. What it is that we ought to do protect the American people first. Um. Now, by the way, this is not unlike a lot. We have Bill Clinton and we have Obama sounding an awful lot like Donald Trump. And the reason I'm playing this is because you know, it's interesting that the media didn't get all bent out of shape when they said this all Americans not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country. Are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs stay home might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use imposed burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workface, as recommended by the commission headed by a former Congressman and Barbara Jordan's. We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. Even as we are a nation of immigrants, we're also a nation of laws. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous. When I took office, I committed to fixing this broken immigration system. And I began by doing what I could to secure our borders. But today our immigration system is broken, and everybody knows it. There are actions I have the legal authority to take as president. Tonight, I'm announcing those actions. I'm gonna I'm gonna step in it. It's it's everybody knows, but nobody. His actions made it easier for illegal immigrants that broke the laws that he specified to stay in the country. And then of course criminal aliens were set free, and then sanctuary cities allow the same thing. And then the whole anchor baby syndrome of an illegal immigrant comes to America, the child is born here automatically a U. S. Citizen. All of this has to be dealt with. They all said it. They all sound like Trump. Now. The judge in this case, and World let Daily had a pretty good piece about this, should have probably recused himself because the judge that issued this stay in Seattle of the President's executive order barring entry to immigrants from the seven Mid Eastern terror hotspots that the Obama administration identified claimed in his courtroom that no person from those countries have been arrested in the U. S. And nine eleven. There was a courtroom exchange on Friday with Department of Justice and their lawyer Michelle Bennett, and the federal judge said, well, how many arrests have have their been of foreign nationals from those seven countries since nine eleven? And Bennett it said, I don't have the specific details, etcetera. And who is from the Department of Justice is civil division? The answer to that is none, said the judge. Best I can tell well the judges for rent this lee wrong. Now that's a problem. Travelers and immigrants from seven countries have indeed been involved in murders of Americans and other Heinah's crimes. You know. In November of oh nine, Major Hassan shot thirteen people injured more than thirty people at Fort Hood in Texas. While the Army major was an American, he received counseling and encouragement from Yemen based Imam Onward Alawaki, who traveled frequently to the U S and was later killed in a drone attack. Or In two thousand eleven, Rahim Alpha to Lowawi, forty seven in Iraqi, na native living in Minneapolis, shot a stepdaughter fatally in the hand because she moved away and was becoming westernized, and he was sent to prison for his life. And then in twenty six uh Da here Ahmad adn born in Somalia and it's through St. Cloud, Minnesota, dressed as a security guard, began stabbing individuals off duty cops shot him. Or Somalian refugee Abdul Raza ali Artan attacked eleven Americans with a car and a knife at the campus of Ohio State. Two Iraqi refugees we settled in Bowling Green were arrested and convicted of providing weapons and other materials support to Al Qaida in Iraq in twleven. So I'm not sure what this judge is thinking or the judge makes this these statements without any basis in fact. But if that is his, this comes down to his personal decision. I just read you the US Code. Whenever the President finds the entry of any alien of any class, or any class of aliens into the U s would be detrimental to the interest of the US, he may buy proclamation and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens of any class of aliens, or immigrants or non immigrants were imposed on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. What part of that law is not clear? US Code eight eight two. Meanwhile, since the temporary ban has been lifted, refugees are racing to come in here, including an Iranian researcher who's racing to get in here. Well, what does that mean. It means that they're gambling with your life. And the Ninth Circuits decline only reinforces everything we've known about the Ninth Circuit, which is an extremely leftist judicial activist court, which means that now they've got to make a decision at the Trump White House. Do they wait till Neil Gorsitch is on the Supreme Court? And will the Supreme Court even involve itself in the case. You know, it shows that it's everything that we've talked about and the importance of the judicial branch of government. It was a great piece by our buddy Daniel Harwitz. Today Row judges undermine our sovereignty, and he lays out different ways that Congress can stop them. Because the law is clear, the President a has the authority, that's first and foremost. But he points out that the judge in this case of the Western District of Washington State issues the temporary injunction. And you know that is a radical opinion. That is legislating from the bench, That is allowing one's personal views two take over any reference or rule of law. It is lawlessness on the judges part all. He's criticizing the judge. Well, Abraham Lincoln criticized judges. Obama criticized the Supreme Court right in front of them for crying out loud. Now what he's doing, this judge is he's stopping the president from executing the law. These laws were passed by Congress. What do you think separation of powers is all about? What do you think coequal branches of government is all about? He literally, this judge independently as a as a party of one and the Ninth Circuit likely to follow, is circumventing an entire branch of government and taking on power and authority that is not con for to him and them through the Constitution. It's unconstitutional what he has done. They're inventing new constitutional rights for non citizens. These are non citizens, and they're breaking a law passed by Congress and signing a law by President of the United States. Now, what does that mean for future cases. I told you David brock in company, one of the ways they feel they can stop the Trump agenda is using all the liberal justices that Clinton and that maybe even Bush in some cases rarely but some and Obama have put on the bench. And then they'll just go judge judge, shopping to liberal judges. And this is gonna go on and on and on throughout the Trump presidency. And it's ignoring the law, it's ignoring the Constitution, it's ignoring tradition, and it's just another way that the left has designed. What they can't get you to vote for them at the ballot box war, what they can't get done through through constitutional coequal branches of government, they look to the courts to do. And what modern courts have done is they're chipping away at the Constitution. They're chipping away and their seating. Congress has seated. In the case of Obama, they seated the power of the purse to the president. Now they're seating their constitutional authority to be a legislative branch of government because their laws now are rendered meaningless by one rogue judge. So the answer is Article three, Section two of the Constitution and moved to strip the lower courts of jurisdiction to grant rights to any foreign national to enter a remain in the country against the law unless the statute explicitly preempts the president's action. And clearly, I've read you the the statute twice. It is within the president's authority and power. And now the liberal all left radical media, they're mad that all the courts are making the job very difficult. Yeah, because they're legislating from the bench. And what about all the countries, by the way, that event people with Israeli country about Israeli passport. Remember I talked about immigration, Well, how does Mexico treat illegal immigrants? They beat them, they put them in jail, and they send them back to their home country. And then we get lectured by the likes of former President sent Day Fox on how we ought to treat their illegal immigrants. Here, does anybody know that this countries that have a ban of anybody that has an Israeli passport? Oh, those countries six of seven of the seven that Trump had the ban on her in this list Syria, Iran, Iraqi, m In, Libya, Algeria, Bangladesper and i Kuwait, leban On, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. These are real permanent bands. If you have a Israeli passport, you don't get in to some sixteen Muslim countries. There's a whole list of them. And Trump is being urged to wait by some to delay appealing this travel ban until the Supreme Court majority he needs to ensure a win is put in place. And I don't know what the right answer is here, because I don't think you're gonna get a lot of help from a very abusively biased Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. You know, by the way, unlike Trump, Obama defied court orders he didn't like. How was the first thing I was thinking about. You know, he issued what he called a nationwide ruling against the Trump terrorists band. You know, I'm thinking, you know, shouldn't Trump just do what Obama did? Obama said twenty five times he didn't have the right to do issue the executive order and circumvent the law as it relates to immigration with his executive orders. Obama did it time and time again. And how many times do the lower court judges issue rulings that Obamacare is unconstitutional. That happened at least three or four times? How many? How did the White House react or dur Obama? They said, fine, we'll see in court. And in the meantime they went forward with Obamacare. So if the Trump terrorist travel ban is unconstitutional, where was the the nutty judge went Obama and was his own terrorist travel ban against the Rackies as he did in two thousand eleven that Hillary supported Harvard law professor no friend of mine, Alan Dershowitz opposes the band. He made the same point, and he actually went on to say Saturday, the President Trump respected the independence of the judiciary by appealing rather than ignoring. Trump could do what Obama didn't ignore it. And if I was him, if this keeps going this way, he may not have any other option here. By the way, a police officer complaining about terror country migrants are destroying Sweden. We keep reporting about what's happened in Europe. Turkey rounded up four suspected terrorists over the weekend, and now Trump has an uphill battle here. And in the meantime, by the way, you got people like Mitch McConnell siding with Democrats on key Trump issues. Over the weekend. I'm like, really, we can't count on him, you know, mccow no federal money for investigating voter for all, McConnell said on the distance himself from Trump on positions on voter fraud, the travel Band, criticizing the President for attacking the federal judge who was wrong and wrong on the law. And now they're saying Obamacare, well, it may not be replaced, it may be repaired. And then they're saying it may be the end of the year. And then they're saying that, well, we might have to put off our tax plan until the end of the year. If you guys don't act and you delay Trump's tax cuts, this is a massive risk. Paul Ryans and lawmakers are gonna first focus on replacing or repairing Obamacare, then they'll take up tax bills. Why in God's name don't these guys do their job. This is their window of opportunity to move. Getting your ass in gear, all your Republicans in the House and Senate and do your job. You have all three branches. Go. You have the House, you have the Senate, and you're not three. You have all three. You know what I'm saying. You have the House. You have the Senate and you have the White House. Get your job done. Keep up with Trump. Good grief. It won't go on any other radio shows, and he does it every single day. This is alright. So I have insomnia, but I've never slept better.

Two years of intensive negotiations, backed by strong sanctions the country is represented in this room achieved what decades of animosity and rhetoric did not. A long term deal that closes off every possible path to building a nuclear weapon and subjects Iran too, the most comprehensive nuclear inspections ever negotiated. And thanks to this deal we have seen real progress Already. Iran has dismantled two thirds of its installed centrifuges. Ran A shipped scent of its enriched uranium stockpile out of Iran. Iran has removed the Iraq reactor core and filled it with concrete. If Iran were to cheat, the breakout time to build nuclear weapon has gone from two to three months to about a year. In January, the i a A verified that Iran had fulfilled key commitments of the deal, and today Director General Amano will update us on implementation. Our nations have lifted nuclear related sanctions and it will take time for Iran to reintegrate into the global economy. But Iran is already beginning to see the benefits of this deal. I think it's important to note that this deal does not resolve all of our differences with Iran, including destabilizing activities in the region. Except for limited exceptions, the US trade embargo on Iran remains in place. It wouldn't it be more accurate to say that a ransom is paid and then you get the people back, and not the reverse, which is what happened in this case. Again, we don't pay ransom ross. This wasn't a case of ransom. And again I need to remind you all while maybe the little bit of the TikTok here that's driven out, you might find new installations, And there's really nothing new here in the story about how we got those Americans out and how we leveraged opportunities here that were coming together at the same time that you go back and look at the President's comments and Secretary's comments when all of this happened, there were opportunities here that we took advantage of, and as a result, we were able to get American citizens back home. All right, there are you here that was the worst deal. Hour to Sean Hannity Show, I keep saying, you better faith very very close attention to what is happening in Iran right now. Now. The Iranian Mullahs are out there saber rattling. I guess they think that the same person as president. Remember Donald Trump is not Barack Obama. He didn't pay them ransom for hostages. He didn't pay a hundred and fifty billion dollars. So they can build up their nuclear program, uh even further and continue to partner with missile defense with Vladimir Putin and also build more fighted jets as that the deal allows. They continue to spend their centerfuges. There's not any place anytime inspections as was originally promised. We have twenty five days noticed that we will give them before any inspections, which is an eternity for them to cover up whatever dirty deeds they're involved in. There are no U S inspectors allowed in this deal. And now that Donald Trump has become president, General Flynn put them on notice after they broke the U N deal that they had agreed to and had a ballistic missile test. Now they're having more. Uh. Donald Trump tweeted out, know him not as kind as Obama. You better be careful and sanctions are now being put back in place. I say this as the Jerusalem Post as an article that Iran only needs seven minutes. That's all that's needed for an Iranian missile to hit Tel Aviv, hit Israel. That is a very short period of time. And even though I've seen the Iron Dome in action with my own eyes, what if it doesn't work? What if somehow the incapacitated at the time that nuclear missile is hit. What if it's taken out of the air. What is the potential nuclear fallout damage wherever it's taken out? Anywhere? Here to weigh in on this, somebody who knows a lot about Iran and has risked his life for his country in battling Iran and understands the advancement of the Caliphate and the crazy mulas that are there is Colonel Oliver North. How are you, sir? I'm glad to be with you, brother. All right? So we saw what Obama did. I just laid it out. We see now what Trump is doing. We see the Iranians now are saber rattling. What's gonna happen. Well, let's start with the sanctions, and as well, you and I know earlier today the President was at McDill Air Force Base to address the troops at SITCOM and the Special Operations Command. So and we can get to that first of all, all the sanctions, the sanctions that were imposed late last week, targets members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. By the way, it's not the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. You know that, but most of our listeners constantly here people saying it's the Iranian It's not. It's the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Was one of the very first acts taken by the Atol Homaanee when he came back from Paris and took over the rebellion and ended up holding American hostages for four in forty four days. So targets the I r g C, the Iranian military, and the Iranian government owned businesses and bank accounts. And it's roughly twenty five individuals and as they describe it in his executive order, entities associated with the Iran's ballistic missile program. Now here's the here's the challenge. Here the orders sites individuals and entities procuring the technology and the materials of Iran's missile program. It includes an I quote again, those acting four or on behalf of or providing support to the I r g C COULD Force, which is their special Operations command that operates totally independent of their military of course, and is it the direction of the Supreme Leader, the dictator who runs the government in Tatran. Those are referred to as coercive unilateral sanctions. They are appropriately the aim that the suppliers are aiding and abetting Around's ballistic missile program and terrorism. But because the sanctions are unilateral, there was no one else has joined us in this. They're gonna be largely ineffective unless the order is modified. And here's how you can make unilateral sanctions coersive sanctions work. Amend that order, Let's say sometime later this week. I was hoping maybe he would do it down at McDill, but he didn't. Here's the way it should read, something like this. In ten days, all businesses and banks doing any business whatsoever with those aforementioned around the entities and similar entities in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will be barred from doing any business in the United States. Now that will work because even though Moscow and Beijing and the ureaucrats that make nice progressives here in this country are going to go nuts because that sanctions language will impact every company providing any kind of support for their missile program. Well, let me ask you this, go ahead and finish your well hit because these companies want to do business in this country, right, So it's computers, other technologies like satellite control, missile parts, rocket motors, fuel components and explosive components, guidance systems, tracking sensors, even tires for the trucks that move this stuff. If they want to sell tires in America, they have to stop selling tires to those entities and around. Those are the kinds of sanctions that will actually hurt, all right. But when you when you add up what the president has done here and in general, Flynn putting them on notice him tweeting out he's not like Barack Obama. The san sanctions that, yeah, that's for sure, that's the understatement of the year. But also the sanctions he's putting in place and putting the USS coal in a position where they can quickly be off the straits of Hormus off the coast of Yemen and then he goes to sent coom today. Now we we both know that he doesn't want any protracted conflict? Is it? Let me ask you this, is it beyond comprehension that we can see in in a short period of time, short meaning six months, an alliance between Saudi Arabia, the United States, the Israelis, the Egyptians and Jordanians to take out the nuclear facilities which represents an existential threat to mankind, which would be an incredibly difficult operation, as you know, because all of those sites are buried deep underground and they are spread through out the entire country. Is that a possibility? And they are also protected by the Russian Essay three system, which is probably the best an aircraft system. And by the way, that was part of the nuclear deal that Obama made with the Iranians, which was stupid. It's it's mind numbing what we gave away. And of course President Trump is right all the way throughout the campaign he was saying it's the worst possible deal. It is and is I know you've noticed that, and some of our listors may not have yet. Is Prime Minister Netan Yahoo met earlier today with Prime Minister May in Great Britain asking the Brits to join them in the effort. The European response to this, by the way, is what they called BDS Boycott, divest and sanctioned. In other words, they are punishing the Israelis for being Israelis. And so the Brits have yet to join the BDS movement, which is part of the EU right, despite the kinds of terrorism that have affected all of them in Europe. And what you're looking at is a new reality because America is leading again. I mean that the best news in all of this is that America is not that lads by somebody who believe believes in the oxyomenon of leading from behind. It's a three word oxymooron. You cannot lead from behind. And that's what we've had eight years of this shown. And so it's I know, it's a shock to lots of people that this president is acting the way he is. It's all stuff he talked about that he was going to do if he got elected, and thank god he is. Let me look at earlier today when he was at McDill. Generally speaking, the troops are very polite to the commander in chief. They get up. When he walks in the room, they applaud, and when he's done, they sit down in the plot right. And at the end of this, in the middle of today's remarks at McDill, talking to the troops and their leaders of those two commands, Central Command and Special Operations Command, both had quartered at McDill Air Force Base in Florida, the troops wildly applauded President Trump's decisions on making sure that those who come to America aren't going to blow us up. I mean, this is it is unheard of. He recognizes the extraordinary capabilities of America's military, not just because of the equipment we've got. It was just, you know, mind boggling when you think about it. The fact is he recognizes that these are the best and bravest of an entire generation. And I watched that earlier today on our network and said, you know what, it's a new world order and Donald Trump is leading the way. You know what's really sad about this. Remember back in the eighties when the Israelis took out Saddam Hussein's sites, Remember there was there was there was worldwide condemnation. Nobody really paid attention when the Israelis were able to sneak in under the Syrian radar and pretty much do the same thing to Syria. I mean, it's one of the most incredible military operations in our lifetime, and most of the world missed. It was out about ten years ago. And now we find ourselves in a situation where A squared plus B squared equals C squared. And I'm convinced if the radical Islamic Malah's get weapons of mass destruction nuclear weapons, they'll use them. They they have said they will. All right. Stay on the other side. I want to ask you what would be the time frame in your mind that this needs to be handled. We'll continue more with Colonel Oliver Northe for one Shawn Tolfrey telephone number on the other side of the half hour, we'll get to your call. The one radio show you don't want to miss, Sean Annity is on right now. I continue with Colonel Olive North. Iran is now saber rattling a. We had the President over at sent comm earlier today. The US has coal has been sent off the coast of Yemen. We have sanctions now, the President has put in place. General Flynn has put I ran on notice, and the President has said I am not Barack Obama. So is there a potential conflict lining up now? In the meantime, the Prime Minister of Israel is soon this month coming to the United States. I know for a fact that the King of Jordan has also met with the President and with the Vice President. And I also know that General Alsisi of Egypt has spoken with the President and Vice President also and the Saudis as well. So do you see a possible alliance. I know it's Soony versa Shia, but do you see an odd alliance in the region emerging where the United States could lead the tactical support to take out the nuclear facilities and any groundwork is going to be on behalf of the other countries. On the day that they announced the so called Vienna Accord, a joint document, the Bama administration called it a good deal. That same day, King Salmon, who was at that point the new king and Saudi Arabia invited to join him in Riod. I'll c s from Egypt, Abdullah from Jordan's Burdawan from Turkey, and Sharif from Pakistan, plus the two emirs who governed Uae Dubai m Abu Dhabi. The only one who didn't actually make it was Abdullah because he was targeted for assassination that day, and so he sent the chief of staff of their air force and their army the military. What was that at meeting? If you think about who those people are, it was, I believe, and I think there's evidence that they'll find was actually collected. At the time. What was Salmon was doing was putting on notice. I want the weapons that we paid for in Pakistan, not all two hundred of them. Pakistan probably has something in the neighborhood of two hundred nuclear weapons. They're the Chinese missiles that were provided for them, all of it paid for. I saw the Arabia. The meeting lasted four or five hours, and everybody went home. No one's ever made any announcements about that. We also don't know because they've told us a Saudis and the Israelis are talking regularly about the threat posed by Iran. Now, staying outside the box has not helped the United States. My prediction is instead of a nuclear attack on or even a conventional attack on territory inside Iran, what I think is much more likely is an Agist class ship or radars used to detect and launch whatever it is of an I CBM or a regional ballistic missile that comes up off the ground in Tehran and then gets taken down by either Israeli or American any aircraft or animissile defenses. You know, the strange thing of it is, we've given them, but they're still gonna They're still gonna be. We don't have here in America. There's not a single city in America that's protected from an intercontinental ballistic missile. That that's pointed out. I've pointed that out many times. But Colonel, the problem is is that they continue to spend their center futures. The problem is that the nuclear sites aren't taken out. This is a this is a can being kicked out in the road. We only have twenty seconds. Well, look this campaign, this channel not to be kicked down the road. Any further notice that was served last week, and the sanctions are in place, ought to be reinforced with the measures I suggested early in this broadcast. That is any business doing any business whatsoever in Iran or the North Koreans. We're cooperating with him in the Centure need to be sanctioned that they cannot do business in the United States. That will stop most of it right there, all right, Colonel Oliver North will have more on this tonight, the showdown that is ratcheting up almost by the hour. Very few people are watching this. I'm telling you pay close attention. I'm not wrong very often on these things, and I hope in this case I am colonel will see you tonight one sean safe home. Are told free telephone number you want to be a part of the program or we're talking about anything you want today. As by the way, did I not make the right smart move by getting out of town in Houston early yesterday? I would I would never be able to do a good show today. And I put my work Linda ahead of and us say why do you stay for the game when don't stay for the game? I wanted to stay for the game, so I did go to one. I was just surprised didn't Pickamar pulling Mark Wahlberg. I saw Mark Wahlberg there by the way, he's a great guy. But did you see what happened? He left left one. He left the game before the end, before the end, and everybody's saying that, you know, he was hanging his head low because his Patriots didn't win, And I said, of sticking it out when they, you know, brought the comeback he had. He was he in Robert Kraft box. I did see Robert Craft over the weekend, like I knew, any of these people are moving. Robert Craft is the owner of the Patriots. Kenny Chesney was in the in the owner's box, and I think Mark Wharlberg, if I'm not mistaken, was he in the owners I don't know if he was in the owner's box. I know I saw Kenny there predominantly. Yeah, I saw Kenny. I know. There has nothing to do with my story. This is a typical man hijack. My point is, man hijack, this is your hijack. Said, typical woman hijack could say that if I did that to you, but I didn't, did I know you did it to me? So, as I was saying, first of all, First of all, as I was saying, so Mark Wahlberg leaves, they get him leaving, Everybody's like, oh my god, Mark Wolverg is leaving early. And then the Patriots maid to come back, and everybody's like, oh, you left, You're not a real fan. And he's like, no, no, no, that's not why I left. I didn't leave because I thought we were gonna lose. I left because my youngest son was sick and family first. So what do you think you think he was being honest? Do you think? Yeah? I do. Why would we doubt that? And I'll tell you why because I saw him at the Patriots party in which Robert Kraft was on my TV show Friday Night. Invited me Friday Night to the party Elton John played. At that party, they had this comedian that was off the hook, funny, and I got some time alone with him. I told him about that I'm doing a movie because I'm sick of Hollywood, and I explained all of it to him. He goes, that's awesome. He couldn't have been more supportive, and he introduced me to his wife. I met his wife and children at another Super Bowl. He is surrounded by his family at all times. So the answer is, yeah, I believe him. And you know, Boston is hardcore. Man. I'm telling you, oh, you left early. You're not a super fan like the rest of us. Family does have to come first. Absolutely, He's right Brad is in Florida. What's up, Brad? How are you? We're glad you called. Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. Thank you, Shawn, It's good to be here. What's going on? Uh? I just called in to say that, you know, my personal decision was to boycott the Super Bowl. I'm just the double standard that they had. You made such a mistake. You made such a mistake, and I don't. I don't. I'm tired of their double standard. They don't let the Dallas Cowboys where decows to honor the dead police in Texas? And Uh, I didn't know that? Is that true? That? Yeah, I did. I don't even remember that story. I'll be honest. This was a year that I paid less attention to football because I was working so much. And that's just I didn't have the time and the luxury to be watching. I watched from a distance. I read the sports pages every day, but in all honestly, I just didn't have time. I didn't even do a whole segment. I don't think maybe one on Colin Copperneck and in other years I would have been ripping him to shreds now. I did have a good discussion you know, I don't want to say. Robert Kraft told me feels uncomfortable when I tell this story, so I don't want to. I mean, he's the nicest guy in the world. But I love what he did as an owner is he got the captains of his team together and they talked about what the flag means to the American people and to the brave men and women that fought under it. And then he came up with a challenge for some of the guys on his team that he would match them dollar for dollar go into whatever part of Boston or any area of New England they wanted, and that he would work with them on any charity to make things better because that's what we're about. And not one Patriot took a knee. Now one Patriot ever went Colin Kaepernick on on him, and I just think the way he handled it it was really cool, and I thought, you know, he put his money where his mouth is and he joined he he was a leader for the team he owns. And I think one of the reasons that you know, Tom bah Brady and Bill Belichick do so well, as they've got enormous team discipline. You don't hear them trash talking before Super Bowl games. They're too busy preparing and even being down what three three whatever it was. I mean, to make a comeback like that was amazing. So, you know, Brad, just generally speaking, I'm not a big I'm not a big boycotter. I don't blame the NFL for Colin Kaepernick. I don't blame I think if the NFL made that decision about the Cowboys, it's probably true. I'm so busy I missed it and that was the wrong decision. You know, you saw the reaction when Roger Goodell handed the trophy over to Tom Brady. Uh, it was not or Robert Craft. Rather, it was not a good moment for Roger Goodell. You know, I was one of the few people how much heat did I take over the flate gate? And I said it was never a big deal and they were making two big a deal of it. I know. For example, Aaron Rodgers loves the max. They have a range of inflating NFL football's. It's like twelve something, the thirteen something, I don't know, pounds for square inch, whatever it is. Aaron Rodgers likes it at the maximum level because that's that's his field level. Tom Brady likes it at the lower level. You know, there was never any evidence that convinced me that Tom Brady conspired. They beat the Colt Spy like a pulp that game. It had no impact on the game whatsoever, and everyone made the biggest deal about it. And I said, I think one of the reasons people want to hate Tom Brady is number one, he's so talented. Number two he's good looking. Number three he wins. Number four he's got a good looking wife. And number five he wins. And I think every other team gets frustrated by somebody that wins that much. But you know, on the other hand, I look at somebody like him. I look at the last quarter of that game last night and the overtime of that game last night, and what you are Matt watching is somebody that was born to do what he does and that natural gifted talent during the highest pressure moments is what separates champions from just the average football player. And he's a champion. And to watch that art And I'm gonna tell you everyone like they love to talk about aught artiste. And it said, everyone in Hollywood is an artist, and they like champagne and Calviat. That's all right, and I'm watching this. You know what's artful is Matt Ryan throwing the ball an inch over the Patriots hand into the arms of remember late in the game, and that sideline catch. I forget who we threw it too. You remember when we threw it to not you Ethan. Remember Matt Ryan's throw sideline catch the number eleven? Yeah, not that guy, Okay. And then you know, look at Edelman's catch of the night which transformed the game. Look at when Taylor Gabriel all right, will you stop? It was not Teller Gabriel. Alright, nice try alright, So but look at the that is an art The amount of work that goes into being a star athlete is unbelievable. Now, I've got two kids that play sports at a pretty high level, and the amount of training that goes into what they do is it's it's it's just pretty breathtaking to me. I wish I had that opportunity to be a professional athlete. Jo Jones, Yes, I think you're actually victory is mine. I think you're actually redemption for the one points spread. One pointspred girls were gonna sen that game. It looked like it was possible. Did you watch the game I was on the turnpike and you didn't watch the Puppy Bowl? Did you record the Puppy Bowl? You know I didn't. Actually, did you record the Lingerie Bowl? Yeah, that's right. Did I even have a lingerie bowl anymore? I have no idea I saw and I was. I I just that is an art form, you know. Being able to throw a hundred mile an hour fastball and get the ball over the plate on a regular basis, that's an art form. Being able to hit it over the fence is another art form. I've never liked art. I never liked museums. I like my buddy John McNaughton because he's so talented. You know, Artists objective. I have the Forgotten Man photo here in my studio. But there's a certain artistry to doing this. You know. I love all these people in the course of my career that have predicted my failure, and it is all it has ever done is inspired me to work harder, and dig down deeper and and make the extra calls, do the extra studying, do whatever I've got to do to compete. It's, you know, and then other people, you know, they teach broadcasting. These guys couldn't be a broadcaster if I spent my entire life trying to teach them. I've tried to teach some people how to do this, and you know, the only person that I ever had any little impact, he was so naturally gifted and talented on his own, was living And I said, Levin, you gotta you gotta do what's called formatics and radios. All right, what's that? What's that? I said, You've got all the knowledge. Part. Now, all we need to do is get you into the segment and out of the segment. And he filled in for me and he became a superstar. But he was a superstar on his own. He didn't need my help. I gave him little tips about formatics and radio. All right, I'm Mark Levin sitting in for Shawan Hannity. We'll take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll get to your calls next. That's it. That part he didn't know or reading a commercial or something like that. He has the knowledge, he has the passion, he has the natural gifted talent. And look at what have a huge successes shows become because of him. Um Tom Brady works hard to Larry Bird worked harder. Roger Federer winning the Australian Open was a huge moment because he and the Doll get to the final. They're both in their thirties and they both went through a period of long sustained injuries and they worked themselves act because that's what champions do. Tom Brady wanted that game more than anybody else, and he built a team around him. He builts confidence around him. I mean, you're watching one of the best players of all time and why he's hated so much makes me laugh. Ah, he should condemn Donald Trump. He doesn't have to condemn his friend. He's not on the field talking about alright, Blue seven boh Vodonald Donald, I'm not doing that would be funny if he did, that would be hysterical. What did Peyton Manning always say? Uh omaha, omaha, oh maha Trump Trump, Hillary Hike. You know, and that's that's not what they do. Just like you know, I was actually proud of Lady Gaga. It reminded me when I said something nice about her once before, is when she was singing like all the classics, like Somewhere over the Rainbow and all that stuff. When I realized what a really tremendous voice and artist she is, because a lot out of these young singers that they cannot do what she did. I tweeted out that I liked. I said, Elton John is an incredible artist and performer. And did you see the responses to that tweetland he hates Trump? I'm like, I don't know if he hates Trump. He played at Russia's wedding and what's the big deal? And I can tell you he sings just as good today as he did thirty years ago. You gotta look at a gift for what it is and appreciate that gift. That's why I've always said it is such a shame if you believe as I do, that every man, woman and child is made by God. And I believe that with all my heart, my mind, and soul. The Latin derivative for education is a duca to bring forth from within. It's predicated on a belief that every single child born in this world has talent and ability, and if we give it the right nourishment, water, sunlight, food and values, that that talent hopefully urges to make the world a better place. And sports is the greatest lesson for life. You learn to win, you learn to lose. You learn life's not fair, and you also learn that the harder you work, the better you will do. That's why I love sports, such a great game. The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show is up next. Hang on for Shawn's conservative solutions. All right, back for our busy phones, and then we'll have a news round up information overload. Got a great Hannity tonight. Tenny stood on the Fox News Channel. Uh, watching the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals tonight very closely, and this immigration decision and vetting decision. Kelly and Conway will join us foreraldo. We sent our cameras down to the border and you can't believe what we found this weekend. And it's a Hannity exclusive tape. You need to see it. Also, Trump visiting Sentcom. What do the Iran sanctions mean? Is there a potential showdown coming? We have the latest on media bias and my buddy Stephen A. Smith ten Eastern tonight, Hannity, All right, let's get to our phones though, Uh Loopy, is that really your name? In Orlando News radio? What's going on? Hire you? Thanks so much, for having me on the air. Are you really loopy? Is that your name? It was, Oh, that's and you don't mind being called a bit a little a little bit loopy. I love that. I love your self deprecating and honest. That's cool. So what's going on? Well, I just wanted to make a comment about the snowflakes and the reactions to the trump Um election. I cannot help but feel that it is a reaction to the whole political correctiveness that happened in nine even only two thousands, where everything was politically correct. You couldn't say anything that might even offend anybody, even though it was your personal opinion. And then that thought about the whole lack of common sense. I was raised with common sense. It was my father. Would you know, you have to have common sense, you have to think things through. And I think society it's the political correctiveness and the lack of common sense, and the whole thing also with the you know, I want it and I want it now entitlement mentality. That's what's brought about this crazy reaction. I look, this is not going to stop the battles in the courts. That's all in that media manners special memo, I got you. You know, when you have somebody like Maxi and Water is saying she wants to impeach Donald Trump already for what, they want to impeach Donald Trump because they want their power back. You know the fact that the courts are stuffed with liberals that legislate from the bench, or people that feel they can impose their values on us, things that they could never win electorally, things that they can never win legislatively. This is how Democrats advance their agenda. And now they've had their It's all. It's like weaning a child off of the bottle. It's like weaning a child off of their binkies. And if Trump vets refugees, picks an originalists, if he cuts taxes, if he builds a wall, if he becomes energy independent, if he gets rid of Obamacare, They're gonna wine and scream and cry and throw a temper tantrum and it's never gonna stop. So I'm just saying, expect four years of this, but if we want to fix the country, we better get all of those things done. Loopie, God bless you. You You make a great point. Will come back when we do news round up information overload is next. So my question is who are you picking for the Super Bowl? I? Um, I'm going by colors, and I don't like red and black, so I'm going with the other team because you're going with colors. And how many points are the Patriots gonna win by? Uh, it's radio, you gotta talk. I have no idea. I don't even have never at a loss for words. I don't even know how many points they can have. I don't know. Let's see, I don't know a hundred points hundred. Okay, so you're gonna you're picking the Patriots by a hundred points. Okay, well we'll go with that. Jason, who do you got this year? So I'm gonna pick the Falcons two? All right? So you got them by five? Alright? Fine, Ethan, what do you got? I got the exact opposite of Jason. I think England's gonna win, but England's gonna win. They got too much new England's gonna win by five. You guys are given exact score. Sunshine, Who do you got? I definitely picked the Patriots. I love them. I don't know by how much. I'm not really bad into it, but I love them. So they're gonna win. So you think the Patriots gonna win, but you don't know by how. You have to pick by how many a hundred? Nobody picks by a hundred? What is wrong with you people? All right? I got the Patriots by ten, although I prefer it be a much closer game. Freeman, what a time touchdown to the Patriots. All fancive line passes back, intercepted Robert Alford, He's gone. There are no flags and the Falcons handed their lead. Alfred gonna pick six. Here's Adelman broke it up in the palace. Is no sign yet. Adelman comes down with a football and saying it's a catch. Brian sticks through it, throws all the run and Jones with a catch. Phenomenal catch by Julio Jones on the sideline. But this is a tig. Inn't do that for two pests In the Superman has his def want to come back the the most unbelievable Super Bowl in the history of the game. More excitement I've ever seen. What a comeback? And you know what, I was watching the whole time, and I knew Brady had it in him. Pretty unbelievable. Anyway, News round Up Information overload one of our many stories. The battle over immigration continues. In this judge's order. We may hear at some point tonight from the Ninth Circuit will be ready on Hannity if that in fact happens. We have the GOP. Why are they delaying tax cuts? Why don't they have their repeal and replace bill ready? Why isn't it Why are these courts not obeying the law, all of which we will discuss. Jeff Lord, former associate political director in the Reagae administration, columnist, author, What America Needs, The Case for Trump. Leslie Marshall, radio host, Fox News contributor, welcome both of you. All right, who did you both for the super Bowl? And I bet you're both gonna lie? Go ahead. I am not going to Lie Shaw. I believe like Leslie, I too, am from Massachusetts and I would automatically be for the Patriots. Yes, actually actually see Jeff and I agree on something. When you're from Massachusetts automatically have to be for the So you're both from Taxachuse, Celtics and the Bruins. We now, sean we you need to know that Leslie and I have consulted and we agree on one other thing. What's we we think that the ratings for your TV show would go through the roof if instead of standing there at a desk when the show opens, you swung in on a rope. You know. I wasn't, actually, I think Jeff and I also agree, wearing exactly what Lady got out war. Oh yeah, really, that's like, that's like Phil Robertson saying, Hey, Hannity, you want to get them ratings up, Let's go back there in the swamp by the way. There there are alligators and sneaks in okay, And he goes, I'll baptize you right there on the program, and that'll get your ratings up. And I'm like, all right, So I actually he wasn't even offended by Lady Gaga. I mean, I don't like her music was great, Honestly, I thought it was very I thought it was very entertaining. I've never been the biggest fan of hers, although she did really impress me once when she was singing like some of the old classics, like you know, Somewhere over the Rainbow one of those songs, and she really loves those classics. So she has a great a great voice, she really does, and honestly, one of the things that you know I give to her. This doesn't sound although I think you know she's beautiful, she is talented, because there'll be people that are like, oh, she's not a supermodel or whatever. But she writes the songs, many of which that you know you hear her perform. She plays numerous she plays numerous instruments, and then on top of it, um, you know she you know it's a great dancer. She's a great entertainer, and that's what people want to see at a Super Bowl halftime show. I don't want to hear any Hollywood actor, actress, or musician tell me their political feelings, especially when they're based in such ignorance. I mean, the the the outcry by Ashton putched her. And by the way, did he marry his mother once? How old was that woman he was married to? How old she was like thirty years older? Right? It looked like really hot put older? Okay, good luck with explaining that to jeff Zucker tonight, Jeffrey gret Um. But I mean, so, I don't want to hear from him. I don't want to hear from Meryl Streep. I don't want to hear from Madonna Ashley Jutt is out of her mind, and it kind of represents your entire party, which is on like permanent, NonStop meltdown mode every day. Wait a minute, Sean, It's interesting to me that if a celebrity gets up and speaks in favor of the president, or again some of what Hollywood saying, like a Harrison Ford or recently about embracing, like a Matthew McConaughey, or mortgage all McConaughey all McConaughey said, and all Nicole Kidman said was give the guy a chance. I mean, this is ridiculous, But you don't attack them for their political views and their Hollywood celebrity they they're not They're not screaming about blowing up the White House, and they're not screaming about excuse me, om nasty like the bloodstains on my sheets, or the girls that the views screaming about building borders around their vaginas. But what Lady Gaga did last night is actually, if you hear the world, and I had forgotten the song I sang as a child in school, this land is your land, this land is my land, This land was made for you and me, now some people took that by the way, this land is Trump country and political Trump run. I thought what she did was a message of unity, which when you look at what's going on in our country right now, it's badly needed, even if it's just for a moment. You're a super Bowl Okay, Listen, it was never united under Obama. Obama never brought anybody together. And Obama reminded Republicans constantly elections have consequences. I want and by the way, you guys can come along, but you've got to sit in back. And by the way, he talked about social Darwinness and everything else that he said that was divisive and tearing down Paul Ryan in front of the entire country that day on that he attacked federal judges, i e. The Supreme Court when they were sitting right in front of him. Jeff, would you like a few sound bites of our current president attacking federal judges when he was campaigning, he said, even a Bush I have a column coming out in the American Specter. I've gone back and look it's Andrew Jackson, It's Abraham Abraham Lincoln couldn't stand the Chief Justice of the United States and minutes after the guys sworn in, he stood on the steps of the Capitol and attacked the Supreme Court for its decisions. Funs, wait a minute, you're attacking You're you're saying Obama shouldn't have done that, but it was okay for Abraham Lincoln to do that. I'm just trying to be no, I'm just saying that it happens a lot. So what's the deal with Trump? Who cares? Because Trump is saying things like so called judge he is not. As a matter of fact, there are even people on the right who I have heard all over Pado in the past twenty four hours saying that it really just doesn't help him and it doesn't help him look presidential. Hey, jeff Sean, you know, if you look at Twitter, there were more were people saying, hey, I voted for you not to not to do this, and this isn't the reason why? What about the jobs? What about the economy? And then there are people saying I voted for you, and I regret my decision, and and and the guy isn't even Jeffrey correct me if I'm wrong. I saw three articles today about this, how many Muslim countries ban people with Jewish passports. Do you know how many? I don't, but I assume it's a lot. I know, I know that there seems to be a dearth of Uh temples in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, U A E, Sudan, Pakistan, Oman, Malaysia, Lebanon, Ku eight, Bruni, Bangladesh, Algeria, Olivia, Yemen, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Thank these Muslim nations? Or should we be better than that? Oh? Okay, why doesn't the world wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute, Why we're not hang on a second. We are better than that, because all we're saying is, if you come from countries that have strong ties to terror, we're going to vet you. In their cases, we are better They don't allow Jewish passports in their countries. Today, that out, and maybe we should stand it into the United States since nine okay, maybe we should stand in solidarity with Israel, not one. And maybe we should be careful about allowing people in here who think it's okay to kill people because they're gay. Well, you know what, Jeffrey, I'm looking around and I think a lot of people who are born in this country have that problem. And we're not addressing that. What do you what do you talk who in this country, by the way, who has been the loudest voice about the killing of gays and lesbians under Shariah. Who has been the loudest voice Leslie well, me and people like Jeff have been the loudest point about the mistreatment of women, about the persecution of Christians and Jews. Sorry, guys, got to chomp you on this because and no pun intended, because I lived in Pakistan and people are confusing like a country's laws with Sharia law, and may I just give you a two seconds, okay, But many countries practice Sharia as their general law. Story in this country, if you were an Orthodox Jew when you if you are to get divorced, you go through two court systems, the Orthodox Jewish court system for your religious side of your marriage and the United States court systems to legally dissolve that marriage. It is the same for Muslims. That is what Sharia law is here in the United States. Sharia law technically is not about oppression of women. What has been perverted in some of these countries where they have oppressed women, and I see oppression of women here for presidents telling a woman how to dress. Uh, you know, excuse me the way, excuse me what who's talking about our women told how to dress in America? No, they're not a women told they can't drive. No they're not. States said you have to address its policy that in the White how you have to ddress like a woman who said that. Well, Donald Trump, I have no idea what you're talking about, but I do know a little bit. I mean, I haven't seen this thing that I I heard something about to day. And let me just remind here, Leslie that in the car your White House people were running around in your blue jeans all the time. And when the Reagan White House took over, men had to wear suits, guests, suits, and ties. By the way, I'm kind of that's the only thing I agree with Jimmy Carter on. My whole life is wearing jeans and a T shirt. I don't have a problem with the dress code if somebody is aware of that when they apply for or get a job for both. However, it does apply to men and cannot wear by any right. You know what, This is such a ridiculous argument on your part because we're talking about women that are told they must cover up. We're told about women that can't drive, women that can't go to school or work without their husband's approval, can't travel abroad without their husband's approval in some in some can, and some of these I'm mentioning specifically Saudi Arabia and Leslie, let me finish. In other Sound and other Syria countries, women can also be victims of marital rape and it's not against the law, So don't compare a dress code which most corporations have. Thank god they don't have them in radio. I have a dress coded Fox. I've got to wear a shirt, a jacket and a tie, and I hate wearing a shirt, a jacket, a tie. Last word, maybe it does to every bosom country and into an entire religion in that well, we'll come back and get Jeff's final word on this. Making America first, safe and great again. This is the Sean Hannity Show. Definitely roll along Sean Hannity Show. Toll free telephone numbers eight hundred one, Shawn, if you want to be a part of the program, Jeff Lord, Leslie Marshall will get to your calls when we come back at the bottom of the half hour. What you just stated is true. There was an article citing an anonymous source who claimed to have worked with Donald Trump the in the unspecified past, and he held that Trump strongly preferred a specific style address among staffers. The article did not say that anyone in the Trump administration was compelled to where a dress. This all began in the International Business Times, etcetera, etcetera. So that's not confirmed, leslie, and you speak as though that's truth that Donald Trump is telling. It was not uncommon if you work at the White House that you're supposed to wear a suit. If you're a guy and look your best. If you're a woman, that goes usually with the territory. If you work in corporate America, most people are stuck wearing those god awful suits. If you work in television, you gotta put on a stupid tie every night. I know I work in television, So I mean, why are you comparing that to to Sharia? That's nuts. I'm not comparing that to Sharia. And again, Sharia is not about how you dress. People are taking Sharia law. People like titles in this country and don't always know what that title means. Sharia law actually has to do with marriages, that has to do with property, has to do with a custody of children' um, what you're talking about our some Muslim countries, like how do you arabe? Let's use that as an example, because I would say, arguably they're the most horrific. I mean, women have the right to vote, but they can't dry. We can also talk about Sharia and Syria, Iran, Iraq. Yeah, you're downplaying this Kuwait oman u a e. All of these have extreme measures of mistreatment of women under the banner of Sharia. That is not under the banner yes it is. Nor is it under the banner of this Lam a perversion of that? Okay, all these Muslim countries are perverting it. That it is a perversion of that. You know what, and it's why spread country. In this country, guys, there is an incidence of domestic violence every fourteen seconds. I would say, that's in a mistreatment and oppression of women. You leslie, There's a difference between some guy who's out of control and somebody who's deliberately going to commit an honor killing. I mean, wouldn't you say, oh, well wait a minute, I read But if somebody who's out of control ends up murdering that individual premeditating otherwise. I mean, it's not a cultural norm thing, or your wife the results the same, or your daughter or you know, what have you. I mean, that's just that's just so far beyond the pale. I can't. You're not understanding. What I'm saying is the band applies to seven nations, none of which have we ever had a terrorist attack from somebody from one of those? Leslie? That's not true, Leslie. You gotta let them talk. Happen on nine eleven. It's what happens today or yesterday. And so this assessment is based on the intelligence communities understanding of the current threat situation in those seven countries today. Here's my last question. Why are liberals like you willing to gamble with people's lives? And if, in fact, one of these unvetted refugees, because of a court order, kills an American, who then should have blood on their hands? Who is blood? Who has blood? Not going to answer my question? Are you I have? Leslie? Leslie, I have thirty seconds left answer my question? Cool would have blood on their hands if an unvetted refugee kills an American? That's my question something. If somebody leslie, now we have ten seconds, so you don't leslie. You know why you won't answer the question because you can't answer the question because the answer is obvious. The judges and those that don't want to vet, we're only vetting and it's only temporary, and it's the secure the American people. I gotta go. We'll continue alright to the top of the hour. One Shawn toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program. So remember what I got from Jim Gray, the one of the most unbelievable sports broadcasters in the history of the medium. And he could do every sport. Football he was calling the game for Westwood one, uh and he did a great job. And he's stopped boxing everything, every single sport he has encyclopediccknowledged. So after Trump won the election, he would write me. During the election, he'd say, man, he goes you're you're you're hanging out there pretty far in that limb. You okay, because he's my friend. He's my friend, And I go, Jim, I'm just doing what I think is right. I'm just standing up what I believe is right, and I think the country needs dramatic change because we're declining precipitously. So after the election, you know what, he sent me an autographed Patriots jersey autographed by Tom Brady and an autographed NFL football signed by Tom Brady. And I'm thinking after yesterday's win, now, I was planning on giving it to my son. Now, my son, who is the biggest Dallas Cowboys fan and the history of mankind, I don't know how he became a Cowboys fan. He quote their America's team, Dad, you ought to know better. So what he says to me, he was called last night when the Patriots to a down. He kept saying never, never rule out Brady. Never. He just kept saying it. Now he's probably and this is not something that I think I should be proud of. He's probably the best fan duel player I've ever met. You know, I got mad at my son. Now, look, there's the worst things you can get mad at. But he plays Madden all the time, and all those football games they've got a design now on Xbox. I've never been able to figure out these games. And I remember when he was four years old, I finally got him a PlayStation and that we bonded over PlayStation and the Scooby Doo game Night of a Hundred Frights, and it took me forever. I think he was three years old. Forever. There's like fifteen layers of this thing, and you gotta get these coins, and you gotta put the coins in a certain cave, and then you gotta go get more school be snacks to get to the next level. And it's it's it's once. It's so addicting. It's so addicting. So wife didn't particularly like that. I was playing it all Saturday, all Sunday, every Saturday, every Sunday with him. I'm like, no, you gotta think through this. This is really good for his mind because it makes you smart anyway, So we finally I spent an entire weekend even tried to look up the cheat sheets how to kill the Mastermind, which was the final layer of the game, and even cheating, I couldn't figure it out. And then the next Monday, he gets home from school, he goes right on the on the PlayStation, calls me in a break during a radio show and goes, daddy, Daddy, I killed the Mastermind. I'm like, And then he tried to show me how to do it, and I still couldn't do it. So he surpassed me at like three or four in terms of these games anyway. So I kind of got a little piste off at him because he spent probably about a thousand dollars. Well, I'm just telling you the truth. And he built like the best Madden and NBA teams ever because you can buy players with money, and he's out there building the best team. And I'm like, all these charges for for Xbox, I'm like, what the heck is this? I said, oh, somebody must have got my credit card number. But then I called him and I said, have you been using my credit card? Oh? Yeah, I'm I'm winning left and right. Dad, I'm that And I built the team and this, And I mean, what am I supposed to do yell at him? You know, take my credit card away. I just told him to stop. I mean, if he keeps doing it, I'll take the credit card away. And but the reality is he figures out how to do these things, and he goes into all these sports betting things, and you know, of course of legal age and um meaning his coach does it. Uh, and uh, you know, he wins every he wins every time, and it's it's kind of amazing how you never know how a kid is going to turn out, what their level of interest is gonna be. And I just sit there in amazement, I'm saying, So I said to him, wait a minute, let me get this straight. You spend a thousand dollars on on Xbox Madden NBA players and you didn't ask first. So maybe I should keep the Brady ball and the Brady jersey. What do you think? You should definitely keep it. He'll get it twenty years, forty years from now. Oh, when I you're about to say when I die? Go ahead, said I was gonna say when you die. But you know they're gonna hook you up to all the types of stuff you're gonna look forever. Oh, They're gonna hook me up to all types of stuff. So I'm gonna be hooked up to a breathing machine. Well, well, who's gonna host the show? Linda? Uh? I don't know if the audience could hack Linda, and I don't think there's enough dump space on our network to cover the amount of f bombs she'll drop over the course of a year. It just it would be impossible. She would not be able to control herself. I have had to dump you a number of times myself and edit out comments myself when you've been on this program. That's how dangerous you are with a microphone. It was a real danger there. First of all, all you people's let me look, let me talk to you in real Philly language. First of all, anyway, let's get to our phones. Terry is in Texas, Terry, how are you glad? You called? Great? How are you sewing? I'm good? What's happening? The super Bowl was great? I love combat games. It was like a rerun of the election. You know, I swear I was thinking the same thing I'm saying I at five fifteen, I'm on the air. I'm half paying attention to my show because I'm looking at all the exit poles, eggs of pose. In November, Trump lost North Carolina, lost, Florida, lost Ohio, Los Pennsylvania, lost Michigan, last Wisconsin. And then I got to a break and the first thing I did was called, now, who's now the president? And I said, don't pay attention to the exit poles there. They are not accurate. And he goes, how do you know? And I said, to him because in two thousand and four, the Exit Pole show John Kerry winning by a landslide, and former Vice President Dick Cheney called in in the final hour of my program on election Day two thousand and four, thinking he needed people to race out and vote. So in this case, you saw the comeback right before your eyes. It was pretty cool to watch. That's cool. My husband's family fled from Castro when he was two, and we both fled from New Jersey to Texas. Good for you. You know you know how much money new York, New Jersey and Illinois and California losing billions, billions of dollars in wealth. You know why because they have pushed everybody out. And here's my only. If you want to leave New York, if you want to leave New Jersey, if you want to leave Pennsylvania, if you want to leave California, okay, but don't take the stupid liberal values that destroyed your states with you and then ruined Florida, the Carolinas in Texas. Keep you. If you want to be a liberal, stay where you are. If you're willing to be a normal human being with common sense, you can move to a red state. How's that, and Governor Abbott has town halls over the phone for the entire state and he lets people call in. And someone from my town asked if there would be a state income tax put in place in Texas, and he said not. As long as I'm an office, there will never be a state income tax. Listen, Rick Perry and Governor Abbot are two great guys. You guys are very lucky in Texas, and that's why the state's prospering. Wait till wait till energy comes back in which it is now it's making its comeback. It's gonna be a boom for Texas, boom for Oklahoma, North Dakota is coming back. OPEC purposely drove down prices to drive American companies out of business. And if we commit ourselves to energy independence, we are going to win the long, long game, which is how you have to look at it. Chat is in Texas. Thank you so much, Terry Chat. How are you man? I'm doing good like you Sean, and it's great to talk with you again, like you was going for the Patriots, and they capped off my birthday yesterday with the hell of a comeback win. So it was great. Happy birthday by the way, Thank you very much. Um, I listened to your show and rushes and and well I did listen as much to Mark Levins show as yours and rushes. Uh. I'm doing traveling, hauling and stuff, so I can listen to you guys on radio. Uh. You guys are on the Trump train, you and Russia are Um. But is it just me or does it seem like nothing is ever good enough? And I know he's your friend, I know he's your buddy, but is it does it seem like nothing is good enough for Mark Levin? Well, well, first of all, let me just say this, and you gotta understand you're talking about my brother here, and he could do no wrong. In my eyes. He is one of the brightest constitutionalist in the country. And his books Amertopia and Liberty and Tyranny He's are going to be classics that last for centuries and people will refer to them. And the fact that he adheres to strict constructionism and originalism and original intent and the understanding of what a republic is. I've learned a lot from Mark is uh. And one of the things that I think, you know, all of us are just very different in how we approach our shows. I mean, um, which I think benefits the audience. We have general views, we have moments where we agree and and disagree. I mean this, We're not this monolithic group think that's out there. We don't we don't ever compare notes ever about what we're talking about, what we're doing. But I think of him as a national treasure. And the fact that he's holding I think every Republican, including the President, accountable, which I'm doing too, as I did earlier in the program today, is the right thing to do. It's the healthy thing to do. And he brings a level of intellect to this medium that I think. You know, it's him and Barry Farber probably the two smartest guys ever to get behind a radio microphone. And uh, I just I just think the world of him. So you can't say a bad word to about me, about him to me, because I love the guy and he loved the pick of Neil Gorsuch and that was probably the biggest winning moment for conservatives in nine years in my opinion. Uh, back to our phones. Thank you, we have Sandy in California. Sandy, Hi, how are you glad you called hi? Sean? I wanted to comment about the overreaction to Trump talking about Putin this weekend, And basically, the way I see it is, Trump is a patriot. Trump wants to put Americans first, and Trump wants to keep Americans safe. He Uh, he's part of a movement. He's a leader of a movement. He wants to try and he understands it may not work, but he wants to try to work with Putin to get rid of isis. Well, you can't. It doesn't make any sense to me to think you can call someone a killer and then work with them. So I think Trumps such a smart guy. He knew it would be a mistake to call Putin a killer. And in regards to his other comment about America has killed, it's like the media, the Democrats, and the paid protesters have forgotten that Obama ordered a large number of drone strikes in which some cases there was possible collateral damage. And uh, I just think they're looking at it wrong and they want to cherry pick everything. Here's what I know about Donald Trump themselves, here's my take on it, and I don't think I've been wrong about him. I got an email from a friend of mine today trying to make it an analogy about who Trump wasn't. I just disagreed with it. I said, I know him, I think as well as anybody, and I don't think you're understanding his thought process. Donald Trump is going to look at every single situation, and I don't care every foreign leader with with fresh eyes, and he's he's not going in with rose colored glasses here. Um. I think he has full knowledge and understanding of Crimea and Ukraine. He has full understanding of the background KGB of Vladimir Putin. But remember, you know, and I used this analogy, and somebody actually wrote a column making fun of it, and I'm thinking, well, the United States and the Russians allied in World War Two to defeat Nazism. Now they were are sworn enemy. Then remember General Patton wanted to go straight to Russian and clapper them right after and get rid of one problem after another. It didn't happen, But the Cold War came and went, and we wanted because Ronald Reagan out maneuvered them. So there are times in him street where an enemy of my enemy as a friend, and in this case, that might be an opportunity to help wipe out isis now, Putin has territorial ambitions. If Putin has uh other agendas involved, well we're gonna have to deal with it as it arise. As these situations arise. And I know Trump all enough to also know that if Putin doubles deals him, if Putin is less than trustworthy, He's gonna have no problem at all telling Putin a pound stand. He doesn't care. He doesn't need his approval. Look, here's one of the things you got to know about Trump. Trump doesn't need people's approval. That is a very, very admirable quality. To me. One of the things I've learned over the thirty years I've been in radio is I don't really give a rip that these people write articles about me, say things about me on radio and TV, tweet things out that are horrible about me. I don't care. And if you don't care, it doesn't matter. And that held him to victory. It was a big part of his victory was the amount of courage that he would say what he means, means what he said it did, not not back down, not be constantly apologizing to the country's PC police. That's a that's a strength to me. That's not a weakness. Maybe you're ready to get out of the media spin room. You've come to the right place. Is the Sean Hannity Show.
