I see saying that he's going to new North Korea. I don't know what he's saying, and I have long ago given up trying to interpret what he says holding them accountable. Sean gets the answers no one else does. Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the Revolution. We new Sean Hannity Show. I'm sees information on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America. Alright, glad to with us. And Wow, we got a lot of news today pre dawn raid of Paul Manafort's home. I'm gonna tell you the biggest mistake Paul Manafort made in the course of the programs, and it's probably not what you think it is, but I'll tell you about that. And we've got the latest on North Korea, a lot of it's not good. And also today we have other breaking news that we are going to get into and that the least of which is let me even start here with Mitch McConnell. Well, let me start with the pre dawn raid, which is something that I'm gonna get to in details later in the program. So this is the headline recent on my computer, pre dawn FBI conducted pre dawn raid of former Trump uh, former Trump campaign manager chairman Manaforts home. And when you think of pre dawn raid, well that's you know, the raids target. What are you thinking, Armed dangerous cops taken in, you know, busting down the door, taking control. The entire house is swarmed in seconds s guns out blazing, ready to roll because the dangerous perpetrator, friend wrote me, this today is a sleep in reality. Of course, Manafort had already fully cooperated with the FBI, just as with the congressional committees, and he was at a congressional committee the day before, and if anything, the FBI was thinking. And I have great respect for the FBI. I'm not blaming them. They're they're doing their job as being ordered. Whatever they're told to do, they gotta do it. That's their job. They're told to arrest somebody, there's an order to get whatever. But Mattafort made a big mistake here, and his big mistake is not understanding what the new rules are. And there are new rules, and the new rules are very simple. He should have deleted subpoena emails like Hillary. He should have used bleach bit and acid washed his computers like Hillary. He should have taken hammers and smashed all of his devices like Hillary. He should have if he gives the FBI anything, any devices, he should have given it to them without sim cards my hillery, or he should have used Debbie wash them and Schoultzer strategy, which is have your I T guy who will over build, double build and put people on UM on the payroll that had no I T experience, and he should have he you know, he should have just had him take the government property to his house and smashed the hard drives and then the amen can come in later and try and put the pieces back together, which is extraordinarily hard. So that that's not that's the number one mistake that I see that Paul Manifort up to this point, and I know people rushed to judgment. We have no idea what this is about. We really don't, and I really don't think it has anything to do. And at the end of the day, it's probably not. I'm gonna have nothing to do with Russia collusion, Russia collusion, Trump Russia collusion. In the end, I don't think it's gonna be anything about that, and I think liberals are gonna be very disappointed. Time will tell. I think we would have heard a lot more, especially with all the leaking that goes on. But if Paul Manafort would have just taken the Hillary Clinton right out of their playbooks, appointed emails, deleted them, and he should have made a comment. He should have said, these emails are the ones I deleted. Oh, they weren't bad at all. I went through them one by one with my lawyer. Even though Hillary said it, he never did it. And I only wanted the convenience of one device and Hillary said it, but that wasn't true. And I deleted thirty three thousand emails. They had to do with a wedding of funeral. And you may not know this, but I've been taking yoga classes for years and I email my wife, who doesn't have an email account, and that would have sufficed for the subpoena emails that he deleted. And then the fact that he used acid wash, bleach bit. You know, that would have been fine because Hillary did it. Hillary got away with it. And if he smashed a few devices with a hammer, had an aid or somebody do it, well, that wouldn't have mattered either. And if he handed over iPhones and blackberries that don't have SIM card, that would have been fine too. And I guess the reason for the pre dawn raid was because he they thought he was going to do all of these things within seconds of them coming to the house in the pre dawn raid. So um. And of course that's leaked, which apparently it happened way way back then, and anyway leaked is you know a different ya. How do all the when did we ever get to the point when that we're leaking to such an unbelievable degree that the transcript of the President of the United States of America talking to prime ministers and presidents is now leaked. And what I've been saying on this program that there there are so many obvious crimes that have been committed, felonies that have been committed here. There's so many. It's not one, it's not two, it's a whole bunch of them. And I'm really worried for the for the state of the country because you've got all these conflicts of interest. You've got a deep state leak a day, including conversations with our president and the presidents of other countries Mexico, Prime Minister of Australia all leaked. How does the president, how does any foreign leader have a conversation with our president now without thinking it's going to be leaked. We've got more surveillance, more unmasking of political opponents, more leaking of intel of political opponents. We've now criminalized all political differences here in the case of Democrats, whether it's uranium one five million obvious connections, does anybody ever check where the money originated from? I'd like to know. Then. I think at some point you answer that question and you've got to the bottom of the uranium one deal. You know what a Debbie Wasson and Schulz, Hillary Clinton email server. It's illegal to mishandle classified top secret Special Access Program information. Five foreign intelligence services got it. All of this goes on and nothing happens. Nothing if you're a Democrat, nothing happens Hillary Clinton nothing, you know, nothing is getting done in the meantime because the deep state leaks of the President's time and those around him are spent dealing with the daily nonsense of the illegal leaking, intelligence leaking. We're watching with the amasking. You know, how, how is it possible that Samantha Power, US Ambassador to the United Nations is unmasking hundreds and hundreds of people in an election year, and a lot of them related to the Trump campaign? For what possible reason would she ever have that power and authority? Or Susan Rice or Ben Rhodes or James Baker now being investigated, the Special Counsel of the FBI and James Comey and and everything that he did to get his buddy Muller into place, and Mueller's conflicts of interest. I mean, the whole thing stinks to high heaven. And I'm really frightened at this point for the country. And I'm really frightened about the future of the country we all love. I'm frightened about our constitution. I'm frightened about whether or not we're shredding it. Fourth Amendment protections are being you know, just squandered and just gone forget about, you know, the idea that you need and you can't have unreasonable search and seizure. Just go out and steal it and leak it. Just go out and surveil and just release it. You know, I'm worried about you know, with all the crimes we know committed here, no equal justice under the law, Not one person is prosecuted. And you keep hearing poor General Flynt. Not only is life and Korea ruined, but it all emanates from and all it's it's all the foundational discussion of it begins with a leak that was illegal and a crime that was committed. I'm frightened at this point for our country. And I'm gonna tell you something, God help this country, God help the world. If the United States of America is not strong, honorable, true, it's um it's really sad to me, it really is. Anyway, one Shawn, Now, I want to play something for you, and that's Mitch McConnell. But before I do, I want to read it to you, and I want to just put this in context because I am so livid. Literally, I'm feeling the emotions rise from deep down in my solar plexus. I mean, it's just irritating me because for seven long years now, Republicans have said repeal, replaced, repeal, replaced, repeal replaced. We're gonna be ready to give us the House, give us the Senate, give us the White House. We'll get it done. We'll get it done. We'll get it done. So eight months in when McConnell gets back from his latest vacation, with about twenty five days on the legislative calendar, or thirty days on the legislative calendar, when he finally gets back from his vacation, Now we got to deal with the debt ceiling. I haven't even touched the president's economic plan to get Americans, the forgotten men and women back to work, that desperately need jobs, in poverty, on food stamps, that can't buy a house, forget them that nothing happens for him, and he can't keep even John McCain in line, and can't say, John McCain, you don't keep your promise here that we all made. And you're gonna hold the whole party hostage even over a week skinny repeal or a skinny you know, dumbed down if you will version of repeal and replace. You can't do that, then everyone's gonna suffer politically because of your actions I'm taking away your chairmanship. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I'm taking away your chairmanship, Lisa Murkowski, taking away your championship. But you've got a guy that is so lacking and being engaged, so ill prepared for the moment to lead. And this is the worst party goes out. I know everybody saying that, you know, we've been here and we haven't done anything, which I'm I find extremely irritating. This is Mitch McConnell, and I'm gonna tell you why I'm irritated. A Congress goes on for two years. Part of the reason I think the storyline is that we haven't done much is because, in part he goes on to blame Trump, the President and others have set early timelines about things need to be done by a certain point. Really, we're we're over we're over reaching here. The seven and a half year promise can't be done in eight months now going on nine months, And then by the time even had a vote on it, it ended up being not You didn't talk about health care savings accounts. They never talked about these cooperatives I've been telling you about. They offered no unique, really great solutions that could inspire the American people at all. Then McConnell goes on, Now our president has, of course not but in this line of work before so insulting. I view that as a huge plus. I think had excessive expectations because he expected a seven and a half year promised to be done in eight months. About how quickly things happened in the democratic process. Wow, he needs to go so bad. He needs to go so Part of the reason I think, people, you you little people, I feel like we are under performing is because of too many artificial deadlines, unrelated to the reality and the complexity of the legislative process. It may not be understood by you mere mortals, and of course our political adversaries would love to say that any time not fully understood, as either mumbles. So what I'm asking you is to judge this Congress when I finished us, how much have we done to make America competitive again and grow again? And and that's part of making you know what he's not realizing. You know what, Senator, You're not one of the Americans and poverty are you? You're not one of the the six and a half million that decide to pay the fine instead of get Obamacare. You're not one of the millions because you get your health care that had to pay eight thousand dollars on average premium increases. You don't live in Arizona with a hundred and sixtcent increased last year, or alone on average thirty percent around the country. You know what, Senator, You've never worked in the real world, have you, because that's not how business gets done. And you just sound like you've lived in the swamp your entire life, and it sounds pathetic. It really does, Senator McConnell, with all due respect, you need to retire. We need somebody with a sense of urgency and vision and passion to keep the basic simple promises. Somebody that can motivate and inspire their caucus to keep their word. So pathetic, hey, with optimism once again on the rise in America. The working people of this country are more important than ever on the job from Hired to Retired. Also new podcasts from our friends that express employment professionals that digs into the lives of men and women at work and explores their journeys as they fight to make the American dream of reality. I'll check out the new podcast on the job from high to retired on I Heart Radio, iTunes or wherever you download your favorite podcasts, or just go to Express pros dot com slash podcast for more information. I'm gonna ask for sure, Evans, but I know everybody's saying we've been there, I haven't done anything, which I find extremely irritating. And I'm gonna tell you why. Commress goes on for two years. And part of the reason I think that the storyline is that we haven't done much is because in part of the President and others have set these early kindlines about things need to be done by a certain point now our new president. Of course, I've been in this line of work before, and I think that excessive in expectations about how quickly things happened in the Democratic profits. And so part of the reason I think people feel like we're under under performing isn't because too many kind of artificial deadlines on unrelated from the reality of the complexity. UH legislator may not have been fully understood in of course our political adversaries, and he loves love to say that anytime. So what I'm asking of you is to judge this conference planet finishes, how much have we done to make America competitive again and to grow again. And that's part of America again. Least is what the president off about so much. I don't know how that makes all of you feel. You know what it is beyond anything else. It's a letdown. It's a disappointment, it's a frustration. It's a there's a certain shock to the system that they really can't be that week, that visionless and that bad. You know. I keep saying, the difference between Donald Trump and the Republican Party is this, and and the President went out there hard, and he fired back at McConnell's complaint here and he literally really high expectations, excesses expectations. After seven years, repeal and replaced. Why isn't it done? This president has an identity, he has an agenda. He's fighting for it every day. It's not he hasn't varied in his agenda. He says he's ready to sign it. He wants to keep his promises on everything else. He doesn't need help on. He's keeping them. Republicans don't what a colossal failure and disappointment holding them accountable. Sean gets the answers no one else is America deserves and know the truth about Congress alright to the top of the hour, seawn our number. You want to be a part of the program. Is it really you know, it's really funny that there are so many people that just don't get me and don't get you, and don't get the country, and don't get the election and don't get the election results. They just don't get it. It's almost been a mass psychotic emotional breakdown collectively. It was something that was written on It wasn't Victor Davis Hansen. It was somebody today, and it was basically like the EVA educated elites and they're they're you know, they just are fixated on Trump and Trump and Trump and Trump and Trump. And it's a certain extent, it's all true, and it's all right, and they think I'll give them the best motivation. I think they think they're right, and they just can't see the forest through the trees anymore. And it is that there's nothing Donald Trump can't do anything right in their minds, and those that support them can't do anything right in their minds, and everybody's motives are deep and dark and nefarious and wrong. They just don't understand us, and I don't think they want to understand us, and I don't think they ever will understand us. You know, I think this goes to the heart of the deep, deep desire by the left to silence conservatives. It's this is now bordering on a psychotic meltdown on their part, but it's real and it's something we have to we obviously take seriously. But as I look at this something and do you not understand you had eight years of Obama, you had everything you wanted, you got Egot Obamacare. Do you not see the premium increases? Do you not see this a story today? Six and a half million Americans. I would rather pay the fine then get on that crappy service. Millions lose their care, millions lose their doctor. You have X number of percentage of counties in the country. They have one plan to choose from. We're already looking at projections for eighteen and again another thirty increase over eight thousand dollars on average, six to eight thousand dollars depending on where you live. Interestingly, the states that subsidize the most, like New York, are one of the lower premium increased states. Arizona hundred six. That's what just I'm so shocked. John McCain just doesn't seem to care. And I'm looking at it, I'm like, Wow, thirteen million more Americans on food stamps under Obama's policies, eight million more in poverty under Obama's policies, Lowest labor participation rate in the seventies under Obama's policies, you know, lowest home ownership rate in fifty one years Obama's policies. And then you've got what else. We got the worst recovery since the forties Obama's policies, A doubling of the national debt. So much for nine trillion being irresponsible and I'm patriotic. So they've had all of this time to fix it with, with the greatest hope and expectations and the belief, the lofty rhetoric, the crowds, the chanting, the words, got everybody stoked. Um, it would have been great if all if it worked. Socialism never works, redistribution never works, government regulation stifles industry. You know, the best thing Donald Trump has done to date, among many others, fixing the the v A among them, and and a few other things, is that he's gotten rid of burdens some regulation, and Donald Trump is you know, every thing else that he's able to do by himself, and you just have to wonder and worry and think, what part of this is helping the men and women in this country and poverty? What part of this is helping the men and women in this country on food stamps? What part of this is helping create a ladder of success for people? What part of the liberal agenda of hatred towards Donald Trump is helping a single human being? Is there one thing besides a bumper sticker that they probably spent, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars focus grouping a better way or this better way or a better better way, whatever it is. It's a platitude, A bumper sticker, a slogan doesn't mean anything to people. You're not even willing to work with the president because you hate the president. Liberals are supposed to be caring about those that are not doing as well. Why aren't they looking for solutions to help those men and women that are forgotten? Those men and women. I mean, when you have fifty million in poverty, fifty million on food stamps, so many people out of the labor force, we don't count them in the unemployment number, and you got all these people suffering, and you know, I know it's not a big deal to you know, these these think tanks are people that are out there spreading their political hatred, but they even care about people that lost their doctor and their plan. And it was the biggest lie I ever told you. Guys ever cared about that? You say you do? Do you care about the life of men and women that are suffering? Do you know? Have you thought about the benefits of America being energy independent, of America not having to count on countries that hate our guts for the lifeblood of our economy. Have you thought about the the security aspects of that. Have you thought about America the hundreds of thousands, millions of potential jobs in the energy industry as we become energy into ended, good paying career jobs for people in America now using its resources for the betterment of its people. Have you thought about the benefits of any of that and how we could pay down debt and and and stop robbing our kids and ring kids. Have you thought about keeping America safe open borders? How does that keep Americans safe? How does it keep America safe? Not to identify who our enemies are that want to blow us in the smithereens to the point they'll put strap bombs on their own children. You know, I it's it's mine numbing to me that And and this goes back to Mitch McConnell. Uh. You know, I I can just look at this statement to him, and I'm saying, Wow, you are so swamped in. You are such the swamp creature. And I'm like stunned at it all. And I just I can't believe that. You know, everybody's been saying, we've been here, we haven't done anything. I find the irritating. Oh, I'm sorry you're irritated that we see that you take too many vacations. You guys are lazy, You have no sense of urgency. You don't seem to care about the American people. You can't get a simple job done. You have no control over your caucus. Even Lindsey Graham said, yeah, I think that Trump's right on this one. Yeah, I think after seven and a half years, we don't have excuses. Even I like Mitch, but for eight years we've been saying we're gonna repeal and replace Obamacare. It's not like we made this up overnight, said this to my buddy Bryan Kilmead. We've been working on repealing Obamacare all year, talking about this and their inability to get it done. The idea put forward didn't pass. It was in many ways ill conceived, an ill conceived idea. I'm not moving on. I'm not giving up. President Trump's not giving up. There's no way to sugarcoat this. The Republican Party promised for a years to repeal and replace Obamacare. We failed, and if we give up, shame on us. Right for now, Lindsay Graham's got his own bill. It's not totally ill conceived. The idea is to give it back to the to the states, and the idea is that the states could do a better job, and I actually agree with that. The problem is that they're gonna keep all the Obamacare taxes and they're gonna end up funding into such a ridiculous degree that it's just another entitlement that's gonna bankrupt bankrupt us. It's very frustrating. Anyway, let me move on. I spent a lot of time yesterday. I don't think I have a whole lot to add, except that you know, you gotta understand something about this North Korea situation. You know, a friend of mine wrote me last night. We're having a long discussion and going off on my argument that I don't think there are any good options here, and there really aren't. And if you love human life and you believe in human life, and I do, and I think we're all God's creatures and in many senses, and the human experience is one of good and evil. And there's been a lot of evil in the world, and a hundred million human souls destroyed, as I mentioned yesterday, and the last hundred years alone, fascism and imperial Japan and Nazism and you know, the killing fields and radical Islamis. I mean, it just goes on. But you're talking about perhaps tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, maybe in the millions, in the worse, in a in a scenario that could actually unfold in our lifetime. That to me, is not a game. It would be a tragedy beyond anything mankind of seat. But we don't have any options here, you know. And people are criticizing Donald Trump because he said fire fury, the likes of which the world has never seen before. Well, how else do you deal with the fact that a maniac, I mean John McCain was actually making the argument, Oh, Donald Trump, I don't know if this language is good. We've got to be careful because it may piss him off, Like may piss him off. You mean, words are gonna send this guy over the cliff, and Donald trumpet to watch his words. Well, that's what the peaceman has done. Diane finds this is bombastic. It's only going to isolate him. Well, that's the position Bill Clinton put us in by trying to bribe his way or bribe the North Koreans not to getting nuclear weapons. Of course they took the money, and of course they lied, and now they have them. And so now you've got a rogue mad regime with all the hatred that Kim Jong un happens to have towards the West, and we don't have sufficient missile defense at this point after the Obama year. Is just a fact, not a political commentary that he cut back on. You know, new Engrich was talking last night about the need for redundancy. When he talks about redundancy, saying, if they launch a nuke towards the United States New York City, they launched a new towards Boston or anywhere in the continental US, or Guam, or Japan or China. You know, we better be ready, do you know that? If three nukes literally three nukes, And remember, he hates the US like no other country has been. He's been born and indoctrinated into hating the US, this whole family has. They haven't gotten over the United States involvement in Korea years ago. You have three nukes explode in the atmosphere above the US don't even touch grown and the resulting e MP poles would destroy every bit of electronics, destroy the power grid. It would be down for months, maybe years, and potentially millions of people could die. Hannity, what are you talking. You're scaring people. No, that's what apparently Brian Williams Lyon, Brian wants to do it MSNBC. So I guess that John McCann and Diane Feinstein aren't gonna of like what mad Dog Mattis said today any more than they like what President Rump said yesterday, and he was talking about Korea. They better choose to stop isolating themselves, stand down in pursuit of the nuclear weapons. He said they should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people. The United States and our allies have demonstrated the capabilities and unquestionable commitment to defend ourselves from any attack, our state departments making every effort to resolve this global threat through diplomatic means. It must be noted that the combined Allied militaries what we now possess the most precise, prob sorry, precise, precise, got it, rehearsed, robust defense of and offensive capabilities on Earth. Both Korea's regime's actions will continue to be grossly overmatched by ours. He's right, But if you have to do it, even if you had a coalition of the willing, including China, and even if it was including one other Ussia, Israel, Western Europe, and we could absolutely take them out. But here's the problem. You're gonna incinerate North Korea and God only has to worry about and not even if you use nukes, you can incinerate them. And then if the nukes explode that they have, oh God help the nuclear fallout. It's gonna impact people for generations. This isn't a game. Real lives, real people, real destruction, real death. One hundred million people died because of war and evil in the last hundred years, and yes, it can happen again. At that point, it doesn't really matter if you're a liberal or conservative does it or a Democrat or a Republican does it? Because it's going to impact your life, and it's going to impact your family, and it's gonna change the world forever. It's pretty pretty chilling and pretty frightening. You see the Trump paters coming out of the woodwork as this North Korea crisis heads. I'm glad to see everybody really jumping on board when the country is in a crisis. Top CNN Pundit warn Democrats are in complete this array. Yeah, we know that. We'll get to all this today, alright, eight nine one Sean. We'll talk about our options in the next hour. Also the other news of the day. We'll have some fun later in the program. Katie Hopkins is back and much much more. Eight nine one Sean. You want to be a part of the program. Trying to be I'm just trying to be realistic. You know, you have to. There's a biblical saying you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. And the truth is the world is dangerous. The truth is there is evil in the world. The truth is human history has proven a lot of darkness and a lot of depth, and a lot of pain, and a lot of misery, and also and a lot of human suffering. And then it's also shown points of brilliance and heroism and greatness and goodness. It's it's part of this human experience that I don't think we'll know the complete answer to until you know, one day we head on home, all right, we all all the news of the day, much more straight ahead in your calls. Best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening, beyond a normal state. And as I said, they will be met with fire, fury, and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before. Thank you. I'm usually one who puts a lot of blame on Trump. Look there, there have been three previous presidents that have negotiated with North Korea, and every time I said, okay, we've got it settled, we're all friends now, et cetera. And obviously we were not. I take exception to the President's comments, because you've got to be sure that you can do what you say you're going to do. In other words, the old walks softly but carry a big stick. Teddy Roosevelt's saying, which I think is something that should have applied, because all it's gonna do is bring us closer to some kind of serious confrontation. I think this is very, very, very serious, and I think that the rotun ruler in Pyongyang, he's not crazy, but he certainly is ready to go to the brink. I see saying that he's gonna new North Korea. I don't know what he's saying, and I have long ago given up trying to interpret interpret what he says. But what he's saying is obviously fire and fury. But what about Soul? What about South Korea? What about Kim Jong Hoon's capability to really inflex inflict serious damage on South Korea? So all I can say is that I don't believe that President Reagan or President Eisenhower or other presidents that I've admired would have said the same thing. They might have done as much as we could, but not that kind of rhetoric. I'm not sure how it helps, Okay, but the three previous presidents, especially in the case of Bill Clinton, that gave him billions of dollars and energy aid, and and he told the American people, we just made a good deal for the American people. World is safer and they're not unlikely now to get nuclear weapons. And then blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, a lot of talking. And by the way, if Donald Trump's words can push this guy over the edge, He's already over the edge. The words of an individual camp push you. You know what, Donald Trump so pissed me off, I'm gonna fire nuclear weapons. Unbelievable. John McCain sadly has just decided he's gonna go all in angry anti Trump, and he wants no success for this president at all. And it's obvious where he's coming from. So what is the strategic plan on all of this? Anyway, Harry Kasianus is with those Director of Defense Studies at the Center for National Interests. He joins the show today along with Jonathan Gillham, host of the Expert's former Navy c l FBI agent Federal Air Marshal Harry let's start with you and ask you. I don't see a lot of good options here. And the best option would be if somebody was already some type of spy in a position to take him out. I assume that would have happened by now too. Then you have even the best case scenario, a coalition of the willing, including even China, Russia. Let's say our Western European allies Israel, and you you take out the nuclear sites number one that would incinerate the entire country of No Korea, may impact South Korea depending on the winds, and you risk nuclear fallout. And on top of that, then you risk if you don't do a fast enough this lunatic that couldn't get so angry at Donald Trump's words, he may start a nuclear war. Um that same guy would launch in the South Korea, Guam, Japan, or even China. What do we do, Sean? What's gonna be with you? Two things I'd offer right off the bat. The first thing that we have to do above all l else, Sean is I'm so tired here sitting in Washington, d C. Two blocks from the White House, and people still have the goal to say that we still have more time that North Korea doesn't have nuclear weapons or they can't hit the United States. The fact of the matter is Seawan. That Washington Post article yesterday was devastating, and it shows that the North Koreans have the technological capabilities to hit the United States. They might have been missing a couple of technical opponents here there, but we have to assume from here on and they have that capability because if we don't, every couple of days, people are just gonna keep saying we can kick the can down the road a little bit longer, a little bit longer, and this situation is going to get worse. That's the first thing. The second thing I'd offer is, look, we don't have a lot of great options. As you laid out, any of those options were talking about millions of people dead, and I don't think anybody wants that to happen. But our best option right now is a very simple one. China has has signed on to eight United Nations Security Council resolutions, including one last weekend. It is time for Beijing to actually step up and prove that it is not an international pariah and actually enforce the sanctions, because if they did that, that would take the billions of dollars away from King Jong Un to develop the next generation of nuclear weapons, which is a hydrogen bomb and a three stage I CBM that could actually hit all of the United States. Now, those aren't perfect options, but that at least sets the stage for the president to act boldly and swiftly to at least contain this problem. What do you think, Jonathan Gillum? Do you agree that millions can die here? That's my greatest fear. No. I mean, it's obvious that millions could die, especially in Soul Korea, where there's twenty seven seven million people thirty miles from UH the border with North Korea. There's no doubt that this is something Sean that's been It's not a problem that's just risen, you know immediately. This is something that's been going for over fifty years that many predecess. But the problem, Johnathan, I don't mean to interrupted, but when Obama, when Trump came into office, he was told by Obama, according to reports, that he was four or five years away from this problem, and now it's upon us, you know, within eight months of his presidency. Well, it's been one failure after another with these different individuals in the see the president. I mean John McCain sitting there criticizing the president. But John McCain, this problem has been going on in slowly escalating. It is the same John McCain, the chanted bom bom bom bom bomb Iran not the same guy, same guy, And you know he just is taking swipes it at the president that And you know, I think, Sean, here's here's the thing along with the what your other guests were just saying there about um the sanctions and gets a name, you know, Jonathan, you don't have to name is Harry. You could say Harry I thought hard to remember and forget his last name. Nobody can say it, No, nobody can. But going on with Harry's um comments there about the sanctions and getting China involved, I absolutely agree with that. I do think though, that we need to consider tactical option as well, And one thing I would definitely look at is especially in the case of Soul Korea, who has um politicians there that have thrown curveballs as well with defensive measures to stop missiles. But I would definitely look at the type of armament that they have that where they could immediately start lobbying munitions over into into Soul Korea, And I would uh completely demolish that portion of from the border over um to eliminate Agree with me that the only way to really stop him. Look, I guess we could live with mutually a short destruction. I guess that's an option. And and we certainly knew. Gingrich was pointing out that a space based missile defense program that gave you a redundancy of twenty or thirty or forty shots had taken that sucker out is key. I'm a big believer in missile defense. Are are thad anti ballistic missile system works well? But if you missed the shot, you missed the second shot sounds like you know, we could potentially get hit in New York or Boston. That's not That's not enough redundancy for my safety and security and peace of mind. Ultimately, if you take the head off of the snake, that would probably cause the most destruction UM that you possibly could if you actually assassinated Kim Jong un and uh and although he had, but what but the thing is, it's almost impossible to get into that country. Now, I would assume that maybe the massad has somebody in there. I mean, I trust the Israeli is more than anybody when it comes to this type of warfare because of the conditions that they live under. But North Korea has not exactly been their focus and their main threat right when it when it comes to warfare, Sean, one thing we've definitely proven over as since World War Two is that if you don't um fully think through the tactical options that you have and be prepared to make the first move, chances are you're either gonna lose or you're going to create a vacuum somewhere. So we need to consider these options. I will tell you having maddest back the President's spectacular, because that sent a message of strength that even John McCain can't can't bolster, can't stop. What is your reaction to that? And how quickly do you think we could put together a missile defense system with the redundant say that new Gingridge was talking about, Harry, Well, you know, Sean, I think it would take a number of years. It would probably cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and Frank Frankly, look, that's a lot of money, but it's something we should have done starting back in the the nineteen eighties, you know, under Ronald Reagan. But as you know, as Reagan left office and it went to George W. Bush one and then to Bill Clinton. You know, the memory of the Soviet menace sort of fading away, and we went to this whole unipolar moment where we thought we're basically o nipotent and we forgot about these threats. We're basically having to relearn history all over again, and that's really the challenge. Now. I just want to jump back over to John's point talking about some of these tactical options, because he's spot on. We have to think about what happens if we're in some sort of you know, day one military confrontation. But I want to offer another point that I think is very important here, and it gets lost in the mix of all this. We need to keep in mind our experience in Iraq and Afghanistan. Because keep in mind, the United States is very good sean at winning wars. We have the most powerful military on the planet. We have be two stealth bombers, we we have nuclear weapons, we have all this great stuff. We can win the war, but what happens after the war. Keep this in mind, it would cost trillions of dollars to rebuild North Korea. And we're not even just talking about the financials here things trying to do it. It's their region of the world. One, Why do we have to always get involved because I'm not I'm not talking aboututting up the money. Oh no, no, I'm not even I'm not even going there. But just think about how that would have to be reorganized. South Korea's got a lot of money to do that, so I'm not so concerned about that. But think about as well about if that went nuclear in all the amount of redo active fallout that would be all through Asia. You're you're talking about millions of more people dying. And then thinking about just trying to reintegrate the North Korean society with South Korea. How would the Chinese respond if you have a united Korea? Because I will tell you, Sean, I've talked to Chinese officials, that is their greatest fear. So the danger of all this is we're opening the ultimate Pandora's box. They uh, stay stay with the Pandora Boxer show. We we got to take a break, we'll come back, We'll continue, and also we'll get to your calls coming up as well in the next hour. I promise you a hundred nying for one Sean. All right, as we continue with Harry Kasi Honese is with us and also Jonathan Gillham, and we left off at a point, Harry, I want to get you a chance to to talk about that, and we'll talk about options, Pandora's box and what don't we open up here with North Korea? Sure, I mean, basically the point is this. This is why every administration going back from really like the nineteen fifties till the end of the Korean War until the present day always made the North Korean issue that the fourth sif there's sixth biggest problems because it's so hard to to to actually wrap your head around. And I have to give the President a lot of credit to make this his number one foreign policy challenge. That takes guts, to be honest with you, because walking into it, there is no easy solutions. So no matter what part of the aisle you're on, you have to give him credit for that. We do agree with that, Jonathan Gillham absolutely, and in fact I agreed with everything that Harry said so far, with the exception of one thing America, as we know it is great at fighting wars, but we are not good at winning wars, because in order to win the war, we to complete the fight. And for the first time in a long time, this president and his Secretary Defense, it doesn't sound like this is gonna be a long war. Though it sounds like it's gonna be over. It sounds like the type of weapons America will have to use. But considering the weaponry that Kim Jong un has a North Korea has, that this has to be a war that ends quickly. There doesn't seem to be an option. And that's correct and the but the first thing you have to do in these cases is named the enemy and and set the parameters for the reality of what we're actually looking at. That's what this president has done. I have not seen this from a president since Reagan. Well I haven't either, But I mean, I guess the fear that I have the greatest fear that I have. And and you know, there was somebody on TV I guess last night or this morning, I don't even remember because I was just half asleep, you know, saying Oh, this isn't gonna happen. You guys are go over reacting, and I'm like, really, I don't think so, what's so funny about a madman having nuclear weapons? Harry that, you know, And then then Diane Einstein, this is bombastic, Ricka the president fire fury like the world has never seen before. And this will further isolate Kim Jong un. It's like McCain's suggesting that Donald Trump's words will set him over the edge'll tip him over the tipping point. If you're that close to insanity, you are already there. You know. The challenge with this is something I've encountered here in Washington, is that people continually try to put their viewpoint onto Donald Trump. That Look, let's be honest. Donald Trump is a very different type of president than we've we've had in a long time. He was never a governor, he's never a senator, he was never a vice president, he was never elected to office. The way he speaks to the American people and quite frankly, to the world is very different than everybody else. So if we're going to apply this whatever this presidential logic, and and maybe apply to how Barack Obama spoke to the world of the American people, it's completely different. You know, I take the president's comments yesterday about fire and power and all this stuff. It's very clear what he said. You don't need a PhD from Prince and to figure it out. He's telling Kim chongon look, if you fire a nuclear weapon at the United States or one of our allies or Guam or whatever, you're signing your own death warrant. Now. I was able to figure that out pretty easily. My wife, who is who is not an international relations expert, was able to figure that out pretty easily. But of course the media has to blow it up and make a big controversy over it. That that does not serve anybody. If you don't like the president, that's fine, that's your right to do that. But al right, Harry, welcome to the program. Great job. And Jonathan, you were just okay, you could have been nicer to our guests, but we really appreciate you being with us. I mean, you even guest toast here. Maybe I'll have that. Let Harry fill in, because I thought you'd be nicer to our you know, our fellow guests, some southern so it's hard for me to Yeah, that's all right, Jonathan gil knows I can give him a run for his money in spite of Oh, I gotta show you some tapes I got from today. You use him blade and firearm training today. Today you're gonna like it one, Seawn told re telephone number. Well, that's some fun. That gonna be one. And with all this talk at nuclear war, I just need a five minute break in a smile. That's next. You had to sign and order authorizing the appointment of a special Counsel, and you said that he was authorized to investigate any coordination with Russia. And I want to put these words on the screen any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation. My question is, does that mean that there are no red lines that Mueller or any special Council can investigate under the terms of your order anything he finds Chris, the Special Council is subject to the rules and regulations of the Department of Justice, and we don't engage in phishing expeditions. Now, that order that you read, that doesn't detail specifically who may be the subject in investigation because we don't reveal that publicly. But Bob Mueller understands, and I understand the specific scope of the investigation, and so no it's not a fishing expedition. I understand it's not a fishing the expedition, But you say, any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation in the course of his investigation of the issues that he is looking at, if he finds evidence of a crime, can he look at that, well, Chris, if he finds evidence of a crime that's within the scope of what Director Miller and I have agreed is the appropriate scope of his investigation, that he can If it's something outside that scope, he needs to come to the Acting Attorney General at this time me for permission to expand his investigation. But we don't talk about that publicly. And so the speculation you've seen in the news media, that's not anything that I've said, It's not anything Director Mueller said. We don't know who's saying or who credible, how credible those sources. And I don't like criminal investigations to start on the hoping that you have the target. Maybe you will find the crime, maybe we'll find a statute. If we can't find the statute, will stretch the statute to fit the person. That sounds like the Renti barrier and Joseph Stalin, show me the man and I'll find you the crime. I don't want to ever see that come to all right, glad you willis eight nine for one Shawn on top of North Korea. One of the big stories today obviously the FBI in the dark of night, early morning dawn raid of Paul Manaforts computers and Paul obviously didn't get the memo. Paul Manafort made a huge mistake. He didn't know that if something is under subpoena, he has the right. Apparently I didn't know this law was passed. I must have missed it to delete thirty three thousand emails and just claim it's about yoga classes, some wedding he was planning in a funeral, and that he's e wit mailing people that don't have email addresses, And that would have gotten him off the hook. If he would have acid washed and bleach bit every computer he had, he would have been off the hook. If he would have taken a hammer to any devices left, he would have gotten off the hook. Or had the I T guy smash government property and hard drive, he would have gotten off the hook. And one of the issues I don't know what is going on, Why it's going on? It was the day after he volunteered to go before one of the Senate committees and involved in the never ending Russia Russia Russia conspiracy, which is not going to end well for the Democrats, and it's not getting to where they think and they're gonna have a lot of egg on their faces. Mind prediction. Anyway, at some point, you got somebody's got to point out the double standard. Do we have equal justice under the law? Is anybody really gonna get to the bottom of the deep state about a leak a day, including conversations the President of the United States has with the President of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Australia, including is much negative raw intelligence that takes a guy like General Flynn and ruins his life, which was illegal from the get go, or the unmasking of hundreds of people by a U n Ambassador Samantha Power, and the investigation into the General Council of the FBI, James Comey the FBI, James Baker the FBI. And then of course we've got Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Ben Rhodes, James Clapper who made it easier for all this to happen, and I want to see where Brennan is at the end of all of this also, and just will ignore the entire issue of Uranium one collusion and pay for play in that case. It's unbelievable. And I just I really worry if we're shredding a constitution and equal justice under the law and fourth amend and protections against unreasonable search and seizure. Whatever happened to the need for a warrant? Whatever happened to the laws and the rules governing surveillance and unmasking and leaking of raw intelligence? And what about the conflicts of Robert Mueller? Oh, that's right, he's best friends with James Coomey. Whoopsie Daisy, Oh, that's right, he's He's hired eight people that have donated heavily to Obama, Hillary and to other Democrats. One of them was Hillary Clinton's old attorney. One has ethical problems. How many Republican donors? Zero did he hire? He didn't hire one of them? Now? Um Joining us now is Matthew Whittaker. He's a lead commentat or former U S attorney, directs the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust and a conservative ethics watchdog group and is Mueller's investigation going too far? I keep bringing up the issue of mission creep and military matters, investigative creep when it comes to special counsels, etcetera, etcetera. How are you, sir? I'm doing well today. There's a lot to talk about, isn't there? There? Really are tried to lay it out. What part do I have wrong here? Well? I mean, I think you know your listeners, I'm sure take all of this and they want to understand the common threat and the common thread is that we you know, it appears that we're starting to live in a society where the rules only apply to certain people. And if you you know, are a political ally of the elites or those u that control various institutions, then you know, you different center rules apply than it does to sort of the rest of us in this in this country. And it can't be like that. It's what our founding fathers um felt was wrong, you know, when they were a colony of of a foreign hour. And I think that you know, fundamentally, you know, this investigation by Bob Muller uh needs to be limited. It has to be limited, and anybody who is saying that Bob Mueller looking into unrelated financial transactions of the president, his family, or his associates before he seeks to get an extension of his authority. Uh, is really trying to shred the Fourth Amendment because you know, we cannot have the FBI and the Department Justice going on fishing expeditions and essentially just trying to find a fishing fishing expedition. What did you think of the pre dawn raid of mentaphor it? Well, I mean, if I you know, it's it's interesting. First of all, it's another leak. I mean, we you know, sort of it happened. It didn't happen yesterday. It happened in July. As I as I understand it, and you know that is that is typically the way you do investigations, is you is you do execute search warrants on targets of investigations and you gather their information. And the thing I can't figure out is that appeared that Manafort was trying to cooperate and given everything they wanted. It seemed a little heavy handed. If that's uh the way they were going to treat him, Well, jeez, what about one of the things that's really frustrating me is the idea that was supposed to have equal justice under the law. Um, I believe it's it's so obvious that Hillary Clinton committed multiple felonies. UM. I think the fact that thirty emails deleted their under subpoena, then the bleach Bit acid washing, and then of course sends the FBI phones and blackberries without SIM cards, and then busting up with Hammer's devices. And you know, I'm looking at all of that, and I don't even mention uranium one, which is real Russia collusion and seemingly a quid pro quote to me of our uranium. And I'm looking at that, I'm looking, I'm masking, I'm looking at intelligence leagues, I'm looking at Wasson and Shoultz. I'm looking at all these cases and I don't see anything going on in those cases. So I'm wondering, have we now politicized political have we criminalized rather political differences? And as Donald Trump being singled out, and we're ignoring real crimes that have real evidence, and you know of other prominent people because of their politics. Yeah, well, and one is the interesting in your in your in your opening there to this segment. I'm sure your listeners heard that, the the the hypocritical nature that that Hillary Clinton's um destroying evidence and what appears to be an obstruction of justice, of plain and simple, clear as day. As soon as you apply to somebody else like Paul Manaford or even you know, sort of anybody close to the president, suddenly it sounds a lot um, a lot more sinister, and a lot more like what it was at the time, which was Hillary Clinton trying to prevent the American people from seeing what she was doing on the private email server. And so, I mean, I think you're absolutely right. We we run it. We we really run a risk here where the prosecution is used as an instrument to harass political opponents, and that just can't be in this system of of everyone's equal under the law. For example, isn't it legal to mishandle classified top secret Special Access Program information? Isn't that illegal? And Hillary did that? Didn't she? She did? I don't think there's any doubt in it, no ambiguity. Did did she destroy such when she deleted the thirty three thousand emails under subpoena? And isn't deleting emails that have been subpoena. It isn't that illegal. It is, I mean, and it's an obstruction of justice, That's exactly what it is. And when you when you break devices of varying devices, or you decide. I had never heard a bleach bit before Hillary Clinton, did you? I had not. No. That's sort of like acid washing your hard drive, right, yeah, Well she thought it was more like wiping it with a cleanex But you mean, like you mean, like with a cloth, I remember ed Henry asked her that question. Did you ever wipe your server clean? Well? Do you mean like with a cloth? Head, like with a cloth? When she did, darn well what they were talking about. So all of those would be potential crimes. All that would be obstruction of justice. All of that would be mishandling. Does it We have these laws on the book. Is it illegal to unmask America? Is for political purposes? For political purposes? Quite? You know it might be. I mean those you know obviously those are um so we know if you leak intelligence against Americans, that's a violation of the Espionage Act and a felony, right, correct. And we also have laws that we shouldn't be surveilling without a search warrant or any of some other types of warrant U U S citizens. And when surveillance, incidental surveillance occurs, we're supposed to practice something called minimization, where you minimize what it is that you're actually hearing from the American citizen. And standard operating procedure and protocol would be that when you're rite up the report, you say an American, you don't identify who the American is, whether you know him or not. Yeah. The the analogous situation would be if you had a wire tap. It's very similar to that. Yeah. And and don't you need for example, but if we believe in the Constitution and Fourth Amendment rights, don't you need a search warrant to do such? And either a FISA court warrant or a regular search warrant. Yeah, And they're very limited it to both scope and time. And so you can't have these you know, open ended uh and uh, you know, sort of a vacuuming of all communications. Can I ask you, Mr Whittaker, can you think of any circumstances under which are United a U N ambassador an ambassador to the United Nations in this case, Samantha Power in an election year, would need to unmask hundreds of people, the majority of which are related to Donald Trump. Can you think of any rational reason for that? No rational reason except for the obvious political intent that it was for. All Right, thank you sir for being with us. We appreciate it. Matt Whittaker and you can get his his column on Hannity dot Com. Matt, thank you appreciate it. Eight d nine four one. Shawn will hit the phones. When we get back. I'll change course. At the top of the next hour. We'll have some fun with our friend Katie Hopkins. Little parenting advice coming up straight ahead here on the Sean Hannity Show. All right, as we continue Sean Hannity Show, let's get to our busy phones before the globby one joins us as we say, how to standards in St. Louis. He's in Missouri standing the man? How are you welcome to the show? Hey, Sian, it's a pleasure and an honor to speak to you. Yes, sir, honor is all mine. What's going on? Well, you know, we're just uh you know, I represent Middle America out here, and uh uh, we were concerned, we're furious about what's happening. Uh. We see the less attempt to uh to see his uh uh this election from us and the only way that I see that we can turn this about or really and really get Washington's attention as opposed to all of you know, bloodshed or violence. I want to I want a national strike, Sean. I want to see a national strike. And I say that because if we don't, this is a precedent that there's a precedent that will be set here by the left and they'll use these tactics to attack any conservative that's elected uh in in state positions, local positions, or national positions from this point forward. I think it's irreversible if we allow them to win. Look, I don't know about the national strike day. The reason I never called for that sort of thing is because somebody's gonna end up being permanently hurt. They can't afford it, and I don't want to see somebody get fired. So I try to think through those things like a never employer. As an employer, we see the need for drastic action. Yeah, no, for those that want to volunteer and do something and send a message, and and most employers they want Trump to succeed they want his policies just to succeed. And I think they'll be far more tolerant of this than you believe and more accepting of it. Maybe we need a march on the Capitol and say that the likes if they're gonna keep Mitch McConnell. I am so frustrated and so disappointed and so annoyed and so let down. And I think he's he's weak, he's spineless, he doesn't keep his promises. I tweeted it out last night and people are like, well, Hannity, you said you'd be quiet against your political adversaries for twelve hours and I wasn't talking about him, and they took it the wrong way. But I can't even tell you the level of disappointment I have. They couldn't even get the skinny repeal through and now he feels like he's a bid and the Senators Biden. He has the vapors over the fact that, oh, people are holding him accountable a town halls and why didn't you get repealing in a place done like you said you would. It's so frustrating to me. I I I feel it's a a letdown of monumental proportions and I'll be honest, I really think this is crunch time. Either the Republicans are gonna get their act together and I see no indication they will, or they're just gonna pay a price, many of them in the upcoming election. And I just think people like McConnell don't care. And if McConnell thinks it's such a burden to have to keep his promise, and that the president overpromised, he didn't do anything, I I honestly it's time for him to retire, time for him to go. Let's get somebody in there with the energy and the fight and the love and the passion and the desire to move and shake things up and keep promises. Not that hard, It's not that complicated, all right. Eight hundred nine fool one seawan our toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program, The Gobby one Katie Hopkins. She has some parenting advice. When we get back end and we'll get to your calls, comments, next hour, news, round up, information, overload, wide open, telephone, straight ahead. Oh god, I hate this music, but it only means one good thing, and that's like the Gobby one. Katie Hopkins our friend from our British friend is back. How are you? I'm very well, thank you. And you will grow to love that music. I know you will. In I'm not going to grow to love it. I did watch Prince William and Prince Harry talking about their mom, and I thought it was extraordinarily touching. Actually, I don't know if you saw that documentary. Did you see it? Yes? I saw it. What do you think? You know? I suppose there's there's a what is there? It's like a we have this reserved thing, don't we, being British? I mean I don't really have the reserved bode in my body, but we like to think of our royals as private or shy, or retiring, or at least somehow remote and detached from all of us. So annoyed it quite hard when they over emote on TV. Well, I didn't even find it over emoting. I mean, their mother was well liked and loved, and I think they all feel that the father kind of screwed her over a little bit, which I think he did, and they obviously it was a tragedy what happened to her. And I didn't remember how big the wedding was, but the wedding was massive, and the funeral was massive, and then here are these two young men that just talked very very openly and honestly about their their mom as. What do you call the mom's what like a mummy? What is a mum? What would you call her mom? What's up? Mom? You have to do like a Really, I hate to say it. It depends if I was not listening to her, But you want to know how incorrigible I was as a child' My mom would tell me not to leave the house and I'm not listening to you, and I'd walk out of the house. How horrible is that? Well, I think I think it's perfectly acceptable. But yeah, we say mom and in m you m'm m a m The way you say it almost makes it sound ridiculous, and I almost like mom better, considering you're mocking the way where you say mother. Well, some people say mother and father. I have friends of mine in the Salath that still refer to mom and dad as yes ma'am, no, ma'am, yes sir, no sir, And I kind of like that too that I love that too, but I don't get that totally adopted that, so I adopt that here. So anytime, anytime someone's kind of pissy with me or not very happy with me, or maybe a bit grumpy or being typically British, then I try and kill them with kindness, which is essentially just just the way i'd treat people, like, kill them with kindness, and then they get the whole shebank. So my daughter's about to be sixteen, do you I get the eye roll now? And I'm like, really, I don't want the sixteen year old eye roll. It's annoying as hell. I just pulled him up on that direct So I say, look, look, look I can do that too, and then I all right back at them and then I go yet, mom, no, Mom, all the way to the back. So the best things to do with kids today. And I'm not saying I'm parent of the year, what the hell do I know? But um, and that's the thing, there's no handbook how to be a parent. I'm sure there are books written, but there's really no handbook. It's kind of a learned as you go. But the best weapon I have now, my father's best weapon was called his belt. He used to take it off and rip me to shreds and whack my legs, my arms, and my backside, and he chased me all around the house and around. I used to I remember, instance, you're chasing me around the table. Did you ever get there? Yes, that's so funny. So my mother would kill me if she heard me now. But she used to chase me with a hairbrush, and one time the hairbrush broke and I remember her saying to me, look what you've done now. So yeah, I used to get whacked with a hair brush. What is the worst thing you did as a kid. I'm just I'm no doubt we would have been friends because we were both incorrigible. It's so the worst secret that I have, and I still haven't told my father this, so it's worth me sharing it with you privately. Given that we're just having a private chat between you and I fifteen million people radio stations. I'm sure he won't hear about my dad. It's okay. He'll be like demented by the time they catch up with him. So I remember coming home from town really really late one night, so it was past where my dad said I had to be home, which was like eleven o'clock at night, and I came around the corner with my boyfriend, then Matthew corner. She was called and looking up the garden path, looking up towards my house. They're illuminated against the lights of our hallway. Was my naked father looking out for me and mother went out of the house naked. He was stood in the hallway, but because there's the backdrop of light, he was like illuminated, like this giant naked, fat thing looking at me and my boyfriend hiding behind a dree Alright, so I haven't caught in that yet. Do you know what my father did? Because there was an old navy guy. He'd wear his skivvy shirt, his white T shirt and boxer underwear and walk out of the house with that and shorts or walk out of the house and you know, on his older age, he had a nice big stomach and and it was so humiliated me, like get back in the house. It's embarrassing. But did you kiss his boyfriend? How old was it? Oh? Yeah, we did, were four teen. But but I remember thinking how the heck I was going to get back in the house given my father was there kind of monopolizing the hallway in his nudity, So I had to wait there. That was all very complicated, but my parents are still alive now, God only knows how. And I guess now that kind of I'm a mom myself. And they say that my second child, my middle child, Puppy is punishment for me being me, because Poppy is very like me. You see. But the web Ben's parents have today are very different than the hairbrush for you or the belt for me. Is you just take away your kids are electronics, yeah, or turn off the WiFi. I found to be particularly effected, so you don't even tell them, You don't mention it. You just go in, turn off your WiFi and let them suffer and then ask if it's broken. I think you know. Children are very much like dogs, so you need to call them by a name that you would use for a dog with one syllable, like George or Mark. And then you run them twice a day and you feed them twice a day. And that's essentially my kind of parenting tips to all new parents. Oh you feed say that again, you feed them once a day and you what so you need to first of all, when you're naming your baby, like, don't think of something cute. Don't think about what your father was called. Or your grandfather, any of that nonsense. Just think of a name that sounds really good when you how did you name your kids? I go for things like George or mac George. That's, by the way, that's really worn out of originality there and creativity. It's one syllable like Sean. Sure, what Sean? Sean can shout? How do you say like that? What are you doing? Do you need one syllable name for your child if you're pregnant, bets in mind? One syllable? I mean, my kid's name is Irish, I mean Patrick, and Mary Kelly, I mean, can't get any more Irish? Can it? Yeah? Mary Kelly? That's how do you shout Mary Kelly when you're okay? Get down here? Sounds a bit like an automated sort of rifle. But you know, but the difference between boys and girls of this is that with my son, you know, I tell him to stop doing so. I could yell and yell and yell and yell and yell, and until I took his PlayStation or his Xbox away, I wouldn't get his attention. And I even I'm not gonna lie, there's been one and two smashed in my driveway over the years also, and you know, and just to make a point, but it would take a lot to get his attention with my daughter. Hey, I just do that and she's like in tears, and I feel guilty and horrible. You know, it's so sad. I actually think that my son bore the brunt of me being in a experienced parent more than my daughter. Do you feel that, well, I think I think you're overthinking that. I suspect that you're a fantastic dad and they love you, love you dearly. They think they think I'm a painting the neck and that I'm strict and that I have very high expectations of what their jobs are. And I don't care what Dad did when he was young. Dad didn't have the parental supervision or opportunities I'm giving you and do your job. Yes, well, I I agree that if they think you're strict in a nightmare, then you've done a really good job at being a parent. You try being me Like, I have two girls and they are twelve and eleven, and I don't want to discuss their assets, but let's just put it this way. They have bigger boobs than I do, cleaner She puts away my underwear in my eleven year old daughter's draw That's humiliating. That's the sort of stuff. What do you wear like Renny Jenny underwear, like old lady underwear. No, it's just because my assets are considerably less than the daughters that I've given birth to. Everyone gets muddled in the underwear department and it is humiliating. In fact, I just sent you, guy, um something we ran on the Daily Mail earlier where there was a restaurant in China that was offering a bigger discount the bigger your brass eyes or the cup size that you wear. So if you have like really big boots, you've got a sixty discount. All right, This is way out of my league, and I don't want to talk about this, especially in light of the political correct atmosphere. You know, you know, you can't even tell. I mean, this is a part of life. I mean, wow, that really looks nice on you. What sexual harassment? I swear to God, I know somebody at some company and I'm not gonna tell you where where a guy at work said to a girl, Hey, would you like to get a drink after work? And the girl literally said went to HR, and said I felt uncomfortable. He asked me to go get a drink after work. It's so disappointing, I can tell you as as a vaguely as a woman. It's so disappointing, Suan, because women are going to end up litigating themselves out of the workplace entirely because why would you employ a woman? It's is this the sort of stuff you're just going to get endlessly thrown at men who were just trying to be kind of good. In fairness, there are guys that are horrible. I mean, there are people that are There are women that are horrible too, but you know, we all need to stop this relentless running to HR. I do think HR is the source of much malevolence in large organizations, but that's my personal view. You know, I've been to these sessions, you know, so the last time I wouldn't go to the session because I've been there year after year after year. So the guy came to me and I literally went through so I can't say this this this this this this this this this this this this this this, and I went through the whole thing and it was really over the top, like consane. The guy laughed, and said I think you got it, and he walked out. Yeah. I mean we saw the same, didn't we with the Google memo? You know, you know, I'm glad we talked about parenthood because I just need a break from the constant politics here. It's driving me nuts. All right, Katie Hopkins is putting a smile on my face. Parent of the Year. Obviously, I'm I probably needed a brush to I don't think the brush hurt as much as the belt. But we'll talk about that when we get back in the other news of the day, and we'll get to your calls coming up eight sean headline, bite sized rods. You know, the show that you can take with you. Sign up today for Hannity Headlines. Go to Hannity dot com. All right, as we continue, Katie Hopkins, she's the gobby one eight one sean. We'll get to your calls at the bottom of the half house. So what is Great Britain saying about the constant assault and attacks on this president? Are they watching it closely? Are they worried? And what are they saying about the showdown with North Korea that's looming? Yeah, I think that, you know, we just suffer in this country from a sort of bias across our mainstream media, as you know, and a well aware of there is that, you know, this country seems so set against Trump in terms of the media and the liberal left, and so the views we get, the voices we hear are very skewed. But there is also, of course a massive Trump support base, of which I want to be an aim to be one of the champions. And for many of us, we feel like, and I certainly feel like, it's time someone stood up to North Korea. It's time that someone said, no, you're not going to carry on threatening people in that matter. We will stand up to you. And you know, bear in mind, this is a guy that you know, sent kind of missiles to kill his own uncle, then destroyed the whole of his uncle family. You know, it's it's utter madness what we've let him get away with so far. And I think it's about time someone stood up to Fat Boy Kim and said, no, listen, there will be far and fury if you mess around with any of our territory. Was I was so happy he said up. But Katie, I really worry in this sense. I mean, this is not an easy operation. Even if we say, we know we can count on the bridge. We know we're going to have the Israelis, we know we'll have probably even most of Western Europe because they better realized this is a threat to them too. I even imagine that we'll get China and Russia if he really keep saber rattling. But let's say we even created a military coalition, we took out the nuclear sites. Okay, you're gonna obliterate and incinerate North Korea. Then you're gonna have nuclear fallout. Then you've got to worry about whether or not this this lunatic is able to launch nuclear weapons in the South Korea, Japan, or Guam or even China. I mean, it's pretty it's a pretty frightening scenario with no good options, considering we're stupid enough not only to allow them to get them, but fund him getting them by trying to bribe him out of getting them. So stupidly, I I totally agree with you and nobody you know, and it should be in any way looking forward to any kind of weird showdown between two big leaders or whichever groups appear to sort of defend democracy and freedom. And I don't know, there's part of me that doesn't count on Western Europe backing up anything anymore, only because I think I've lost faith a little in Western Europe and its ability to stand strong in the face of anything, having seen another six soldiers run down by a car today in Paris, another attack. Yeah so, but I do think maybe there is another means of taking out King Jong own and I think doing that with special forces sounds very reasonable to me. I just don't know why we would allow someone that despicable to carry on having a place in any kind of leadership position, especially when they're as unstable as he clearly is. How many times would have you written things that you come under fire in Great Britain because you're even more PC than we are. Yeah, absolutely, we we are more PC. I had this conversation. We're not far behind anymore. You know, all these groups are always trying to get me fired. You know that, right, I know that. I know that, and it breaks my heart and I and I you know, there's so much of me that rages when they go after you, when they go after others, and you just want to say, why can you not have opposite views? They don't want another They are the most intolerant people. Liberal fascism is real. They want to silence every conservative voice, absolutely, and and it does break my heart. And I think there is something really terrifying about watching these voices disappear from social media for us, from Twitter, from YouTube, watching the kind of menacing, overarching or Wellian approach that says, if you're from the right, your voice may not be heard, and we're going to bring in these people to police you. When it seems that the real terrorists are left to walk around, you know, without being policed, or without being cautioned, or without being given warnings, where someone like me, just like someone like you, is underfire constantly by the thoughts of people that look to silence the things, the opinions that you and I have. All Right, we gotta break Keaty Harp. So one of these days you gotta make it to New York and we'd love to see in person and put you on the TV show and get to know a little bit better. Yeah, of course, the goobby one, Katy Hopkins, she's gonna go talk to her mom after this quick break. Right back, we'll continue extremely and I'll tell you why goes on for two years and the reason I think the storyline is that we haven't done much is because in part of the President and others have set these early kind lines about things need to be done by a certain point now our new president. Of of of course, I've been in this line of work before, and I think had excessive in expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process. And so part of the reason I think people feel like we're under under performing isn't because too many kind of artificial deadlines on unrelated to the reality of the complexity um legislative may not have been fully understood. And of course our political adversaries would be loves obviously that anytime. So what I'm asking of view is to judge this conversation when it finishes, how much have we done to make America competitive again and to grow again? And that's part of American I I feel it's rising from my solar plexus, the anger and the frustration. And you know you don't understand, you people, the complexity of legislations and legislating. I am sitting here and I'm listening to this man or the artificial early timeline, artificial deadlines, and you know you're thinking we haven't done much, and the excessive expectations of the President and others. And I've been here a time or two. I know exactly what we're doing. No, Senator, that's not true. It's just not true. You're not getting your job done. You'll be back, it'll be the ninth month when you return. And you can't even get done a seven year promise. You can't keep your coalition together, you can't even get a skinny repeal bill that was bordering on next to nothing. But you can't even do that. And then you lash out at the president who's done everything he could possibly do, and they wait, and you wait, and you wait, and your vacation and you have your long lunches and you have your stupid meetings, and you weren't ready for the moment to lead. You weren't ready. You didn't do your job. You're not up for the job, you don't have the urgency for the job. And and frankly, you look tired and angry than anybody that's pointing out you're not doing your job. You're supposed to be a public servant. The idea that you can't get this done, and the idea that it took so long to get so many of the President's appointments put through. It's breathtaking to me. Nobody in the real world lives like you. Senator McConnell, You know, I have excessive expectation, sans I don't think after seven years of hearing repeal and replace, the President tweeted out, why is it not done? Now? Okay, our president hasn't been in this line of work before. He's had excessive expectations how quickly things happened in the democratic process. So part of the reason I think people feel that we're under performing is because there's too many artificial deadlines. I'm related to the reality of the complexity of legislator may not have been fully understood. Wow. Now, the President, to his credit, firing back, you know, excessive expectations, He said, I don't think so. And the President's right seven seven long years to give us the House, give us the Senate, you know. Lindsey Graham also dismissed McConnell's blaming Trump on Wednesday. I liked Mitch, but for eight years we've been saying we're gonna repeal and replace Obamacare. It's not like we made this up overnight. Now we've been working on repealing Obama. Carey said to Brian, kill me, my my buddy. But and he goes the idea put forward. If the idea put forward didn't pass, it wasn't many ways ill conceived. Yeah, you think. And they missed manages from the get go, just like in the House. But the House at least fixed it. Not to my expectations, not to what I wanted, but at least they got the job done. He's on vacation this week. He's talking with constituents. I'm sure they left very few people and they control the crowd. All right, let's get to our busy phones. Eight hundred nine for one. Shaun iss a toll free telephone number. You want to join us. Lisa is in Phoenix, k f Y. I what's up, Lisa, how are you? We're glad you called. I'm good, John, thank you for taking the call. I just wanted to share something that I found to be very interesting. My to have a child that serves in military and as part of their training UM they have built, you know, full size scale cities villages where they train with UM hired civilians from the general population to come in and act as friend or foe, and it's the job of military to go into these training exercises and determine who was a friend or a folk and do all of that kind of stuff. Well, my child told me when um they did their training several weeks ago, was that in all the years that they've had this facility up and running, they've always hired Middle Eastern civilians and this time around they've got all Koreans. And now, well, first of all, your son is a hero. And I'm sure every day, every night, most people I don't think can relate to this, but I know every parent that I know that as kids in the military, they're up all night the scheduled night, of course, and god forbid of the phone rings late from a friend. You know, you're absolutely thinking the worst, and so they're now in preparation mode for this is what you're saying. Well, I don't know for sure, but you know it scares you on one end of the spectrum, and on the other end of the spectrum, you feel good that they're actually kicking it seriously and actually preparing them for something that that could very well happen. All Right. The only thing, and I'm trying to think about this I actually advised the kid recently, and I've never done this before in my life because I've been such a big supporter. I think, as you know, the military, I am so angry at how our military treats our veterans. You know, General Kelly is the new chief of Staff in the White House, and I told the story on air. I don't know if you've heard it. So his son was killed, if you know, in Afghanistan. I don't know if you know that. And four days after his son died, he was giving a speech and he asked one thing before the speech, could you please not mention my my son and what happened to my son? And first of all, I don't know how you talk after four days. But this is what distinguishes military from the rest of the civilian world, which is some odd percent of people will never serve in the military in this country. And I just put them in a very high level of the highest level of service, because they're all risk in their life. Everybody risked their lives if you go into military. And so he said that, and then at another point down the road, and I found I had one conversation with General Kelly only once in my life and I brought this up with him, and then I and and I know he said, I don't want to, you know, isolate my son. He's only one that whose families have suffered because of death in this war. He's you know, he's no better in the sense he's saying, they're all heroes. And I just know how hard it is. If there's one thing I could tell you, and and even you know, we got to remember at least even launching these weapons can kill you. That's the danger, you know everyone, And that's and that's another huge fear of every single military parent I'm in touch with, is that not only you fear about launching the missiles, but all of the accidents happening in training. Every single person in the Navy and the Marines that's been killed lately has been in training accidents. Yeah, you know, look so and their level of professionalism is beyond all the hook. Here's my only point. I do believe that if God forbid, what I'm fearing happens, it's gonna have to end quickly. It's just it's not gonna be long drawn out, protracted mission creep like Vietnam or in the case of Iraq and Afghanistan. It's going to be in and out and over and the results could potentially be beyond devastating. Um does that make sense? And I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I mean, there's no I've been saying, there's no good results here. Even winning and everything going our way is still an incineration of a country and who knows how many tens, hundreds of thousands or more die. There is no good answer to our hope that we're able to just go in and assassinate him quietly and help with the humanitarian effort. And I don't think that's an easy tisk either. I mean, I don't think so either. I don't think so either. But as the parents of someone in several several family members serving in the military, that's you know, best case scenario. Lisa, you and your son and your family are in our prayers. God bless you, and I know that this is hard for you, and we'll be praying for all these people. Okay, back to our phones. You taught David next on the Sean Hannity Show, David, What's going on? Glad? You called Sean a North Korean attack on a single US city doesn't frighten me as much as a Korean high altitude and electromagnetic at which would wipe out our electrical system and then the rest of the infrastructure collapses and within a year, you've got about over three hundred million dead. Well, uh I. The sad thing is I've read two much on this too over the years, and and people are saying, well, I don't know what that means if if this guy does this, you know, and you've got to remember the mindset of this guy that his father raised him Kim Jong Ill from a young age to get revenge for you know, the the battle with America and the North Korea, etcetera, etcetera. And he wants to see the U S burn And that's how he's been trained, and that's how he's been brought up. And I gotta tell you something. The threat to the US economy and the world economy. You know, you take three nukes, three exploding just in the atmosphere above the United States, the result would be an e MP pulse that would destroy every bit of electronics. The entire power grid could be down for months, maybe years, And the estimates are that millions can die. Now, you know, you and I just read too much, David. Not many people know what we're talking about here. Well, uh, Sean, the one book that the Ted Copple put out Lights Out from last year. Did you happen to read that one and didn't read He's not exactly. I'm a happy to do list after he burned me with that interview. But yeah, Well the other thing would be the Congressional Commission report from two thousand to eight. They haven't acted on it in nine years, and maybe maybe this will just be the prod that will get Congress to do something we can only hope and pray. Yeah, well, you know, maybe we'll do a show about this, this whole issue. And I know others and radio have done it over the years, and they all get labeled bizarre conspiracy theories. It's just it's just a fact. You know. If you have an a MP pulse that destroys all our electronics, our entire power grid, life as you know it, probably for the rest of your life is now over and different. And nobody's thought through that, right, David, I got a roll. Thank you? Eight nine one. Shawn stand also in Arizona, how are you stand? Glad you called? Hey? Mr Hannity, thanks for taking my call. Yes, sir, what's going on? Hey, just real quick on Mitch McConnell. Um. You know, it's not like he's a custodian and he has these really high expectations to take care of his job. But he's a U. S. Senator. And for him to come out after in December and January saying that day one they were going to take care of the repeal, um, and even given him the benefit of the doubt, it wasn't like Trump had made those demands in saying on day one it was gonna get taken care of. It was his own words, um, And I just find it he's just he's turned into a joke. Yeah, it's very Look, it's very frustrating. I just agree with you. I don't even think there's anything more I can say except that, Okay, this is this is our life, this is our world, this is the failure. This is one of the greatest political disappointments. If he thinks he can turn it around and get it done before in the eighteen good luck. But I think the period to have gotten it all done was is now long passed. And him being angry as and arrogant is beyond frustrating. Nathan Ohio, we got about forty seconds all years ago. I was wanting to talk to you about some media bias and I'm experiencing. Yeah, welcome to my world. Go ahead. So I'm taking a class at a local college here near my hometown, and my college professor and political sciences his whole entire class who basically trashing the entire Trump agenda. He actually called him a bleeping lunatic that doesn't have a bleeping clue what he's talking about. Well, it's so nice of him to be fair and balanced and objective and not indoctrinating a group of captive kids in a in a classroom. How nice of them. I'm actually very inspired by his stupidity and his bias. It's so typical, though, isn't it? Sure is? Well, Well, my advice is he either regurred you tape back everything that they're saying and make it seem like, yes, I agree with you and get your aid to move on to bigger and better things, or you take them on and be willing to risk all lower Great, that's the only two options you have
