Peace Through Strength - June 16th, Hour 1

to agree with President Trump. President Trump, to his credit, gave the Iranians very stern warnings that they should negotiate a settlement. And he was very clear when I was with him in the Gulf States, and that would be Riad in Saudi Arabia, and then we went to Cutter Katar, whatever you prefer to call it, it's both are appropriate. And when I went with him to Abu Dhabi in the UAE, his message was very clear every single day, multiple times a day, that the Iranians can not have

nuclear weapons. You know, I've noticed the President posted this weekend for those people who say they want peace, you cannot have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapons. So for all of those wonderful people who don't want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon, that is not peace. I don't define peace as the absence of conflict, in the absence of war, but we were on the

look according to reports. You have to believe the people that have the intelligence, and the intelligence was pretty crystal clear that the Iranians were hell bent on these nuclear weaponsites. Why did they bury him three miles underground? They did it in large part because they are that serious and committed to it. What have we been watching unfold in the region now for a long period of time, and that is the Iranians have emerged as the number one

state sponsor of terror. And frankly, I blame all of this on Joe Biden because the Trump sanctions in his first term were working in bankruperupting the regime, and it was Biden that turned a blind eye towards the sanctions that were effective because you had the population rising up against the Iranians, and Joe Biden turned a blind eye and that led to literally hundreds of billions of dollars

in their coffers. That led to a continuation of their nuclear program and their ability to build weaponry to foment terror in the terror proxies throughout the region. And we see what's happened here. Now we are on the precipice of the Iranian regime having no nuclear weapons. That I ask everybody out there, do you think that is a

good thing or a bad thing. I think it's a good thing if you look at what's happened so far in this conflict the Israelis, and again when you factor in the last time I was in Israel, I went to the small border town, Gods of border Town. I've talked about it many times, and this little town had gotten hit in the prior ten years to my arrival with ten thousand missiles. In ten years, the Israelis have been hit with hundreds of thousands of missiles. And thank god,

the Iron Dome is up. But I've always said that the Iron Dome is only a short term answer, is not a long term answer. We're watching unfolding here. Well, what are the Israelis targeting? They are targeting. It looks like they took out two of their nuclear facilities. There is a third. It's more complicated. I'll get into that

in a minute. But what have the Iranians done. They've been attacking civilian targets, heavily concentrated areas like Tel Aviv, because they want to inflict maximum terror of maximum terror campaign against Israel. It is the Iranians that helped help plot and scheme what happened on October the seventh, where

they lost the equivalent of forty thousand. Again extrapolating out their population size versus the US, it would be the equivalent of forty thousand Americans dead in a day if such a similar attack at a similar level killed as many Americans as a percentage of the population versus the percentage of the population. Never mind the kidnapping and the rape, and the torture and the beheadings. All this video exists, all of which I have seen with my own eyes

and so over the years through their proxies. And that would be Hamas at a Gaza, Asbalah, the Islamic Jihad at a Lebanon, that would be the Huti rebels, that would be the Syrian militia, the Iraqi militia, and of course the ballistic missiles now which I believe has resulted in Plan B. And so the Iranians now go out

and they attack all these civilian targets. What is amazing in this military There was a window of opportunity here for the Israelis, and that is they knew based on April of last year, and they knew based on their second attack, that the entire missile defense system is inoperable thanks to their first attack in April a year ago where they took out the Russian made system. So right now as we speak, the Israeli's own the skies of Iran,

which gives the world a window of opportunity. Now, I don't want I don't want to be I don't want to be flipping about this a nonchalant You know, there's always a risk involved in military action, but there's also sometimes a risk of military inaction, especially at the right time. And this regime, unfortunately, was able to build up a lot of a lot of ballistic missile power and advanced in a nuclear program under Joe Biden, and they've been

fomenting terror in the entire region. There's not one country in the region that wants the Iranians to have nuclear weapons. If you go back, one of the untold stories in Donald Trump's first term was he was able to build an alliance with the United States and Israel and the Saudis and the Emirates and the Egyptians and Jordanians, and they were all sharing intelligence because they all against Iranian higemony. And where we stand today, is Israel controls the skies

of Iran. They took out two of their three main reactors. Now the problem is this last nuclear facility.

which are thirty thousand pound bombs. It may take two, it may take one, I'm not sure, or a tactical nuclear weapon, which the Israelis can use if they want, if they choose to. Now, I just I urge everyone to just stand back for a second. You know, we've had to fight wars in this country, and I wish evil didn't exist. I wish the Iranians would have taken Donald Trump up on his option for peace, and peace

would be defined by they can't have nuclear power. But it would have been great incentives for them to join the world community. But you're asking radical Islamas that believe in this ideology of converter died to go along with that. I agree with Donald Trump that America can't be involved in these forever wars ever again. And I have talked at length about the next generation of weaponry, which is now. It is in the now. It's not in the past.

It's not something in the future. I mean, everything Israel is doing for the most part, the only thing conventional is that they're controlling the skies and they're flying their

jets and they're hitting those targets. And the two main targets so far have been their missile batteries, their missile systems, which they have you know, as many estimated about three thousand long range missiles that have two thousand pound warheads on them, and that's what they're firing into Tel Aviv, and with ambitions to build out four thousand pound missiles. That is not something that any country can withstand. And I don't care how good the iron done system may be.

It is imperfect as it is, and they want to inflict as much terror mass casualties as they possibly can. So they're confronting this evil now while they have this moment of opportunity, and the President has been very clear, unambiguous in his message that this terror regime cannot have nuclear weapons, and their Plan B is okay, they were assuming that they'd target the nuclear sites. So Plan B was to build up this this missile, these ballistic missiles

that are capable of wiping out Israel as well. And you know, I just kind of agree with the President's philosophy on all this. Pursue peace first, and then when they reject it, if they want to be the world's number one state sponsor of terror and chant death to America. What would the world look like if the Iranians that are targeting civilians now in Tel Aviv, if they had nuclear weapons behind them, You know, no country in the

region wants a ran with nuclear weapons. Any country with any common sense, any person with common sense, knows that would be an existential threat to everybody, and they could then therefore hold the world hostage. They have repeatedly said they have a goal and desire to build missiles that would hit the continental United States.

destroy the country responsible for attacking the United States? If it was Canada, if it was Mexico, if it was Cuba, of Ito was a Latin American company, how many missiles would need to be fired at the United States before you would demand that the country's leadership take out this threat because they've had hundreds of thousands fired at them. And at some point here you can't define peace as the absence of conflict or the absence of war. And if people are willing to do that with what they

have at this point. You know, I really fear those that don't see this as a real, clear present danger to the world. And I do blame Obama and Biden directly because they have done nothing but appeasement, and appeasement hasn't worked. I wish evil didn't exist. We are where we are because this is a regime that is on the knees. Now I'm reading today Daily Caller is a piece that Iran is pleading for renewed negotiations after is rarely strikes, you know, have devastated the nations. Let's see,

They've taken out their scientists, their military leadership. Reports that maybe they wanted to take out the Supreme Leader, and that Donald Trump stopped that. I don't know if that's true. I don't even believe it to be true. To be very honest, I don't believe a lot of what I read Operatian officials reportedly making plans to flee to Russia was in the Washington Free Beacon. They know that their

days and numbers. I'm talking about the Supreme Leader. Kamanie reportedly in talks to secure asylum in Russia, which would probably be a good place for him. But I don't think it should be America's goal for regime change. I think you got to just neutralize the threat, and I think you can do it. But it doesn't mean it's without risk, because there are American targets now. All of a sudden, Iran is defeated for the most part, and they want to hang on to the one remaining nuclear facility.

You see, there are other options here. Either they agree to have it dismantled immediately, and at that point they might be able to save their power grid in their country, which would be a prime easy target. A lot of people don't know that they're powered by gas in Iran, but they are a lot of people don't know that all of their refineries happen to be on one island, and you could wipe out their ability to make money with just a couple of strikes. The Iranian regime already

is on its knees again, not risk free. They still have ballistic missiles and they have clearly shown they will target civilians and innocent people.

how big? How much bigger a disaster would it be if they had nuclear weapons? How much bigger a threat would it be? Eight hundred and nine point one, Shawn is a number, you know, if you think back, there were it's always been an isolationist wing of the conservative movement, perhaps you can, and probably representative the most. And I always got along with Pat, very smart guy, but he did have views that I absolutely disagreed with, and it

is one of isolationism. I don't believe that could not recognize a threat and deal with it early is just stupid. If that makes sense, all right, check it out when you go to Henney dot com. June twenty, that's actually not this coming Saturday. The following Saturday, at seven o'clock, Ruth Eckert Hall that's in clear Water. Those tickets are almost sold out, by the way, and if you want to come, you'll have a great time. It's going to

be irreverent, politically incorrect. We are not like the average idiot that you see on TV that is so left wing in terms of humor and not exactly celebrating patriotism, but we believe in celebrating freedom and fun and no holds bart there's gonna be I mean yet, We're going there, no matter where it takes us, but we're definitely going there. And then the next night, on the twenty ninth, we're going to be in at the Broward Center for Performing Arts.

That's Fort Lauderdale, Miami. That's Boca, that's Delray Beach. I was in Delray this weekend. I loved I love Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach so cool, had a great stake there, So delicious And anyway, that'll be on Sunday, the twenty ninth is we had another Fourth of July week again, tickets on sale going fast. Hannity dot com. What's my favorite pasta sauce? Linda Silver Palette pasta sauce.

the store, but just remember the name. They have Classic Marinara low sodium marinara, tomato basil. If you like to make pizza, they got this silver palate pizza sauce and vodka sauce as well. It's how sauce should be when you go shopping. It's grainberry cereal, silver palate, pasta sauce sauce. If you want to say our gravy. For those people who say they want peace, you can't have peace if

Iran has a nuclear weapon. So for all those wonderful people who don't want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon, that is not peace. Donald J. Trump, that's the Trump doctrine. He tried peace, did everything he could. He bent over backwards for peace, and they have chosen to thumb their nose at the world. They're the number one state sponsor of terror, and people have to really wrap You have to wrap your arms around what you're

dealing with here. How many tens that one hundreds of thousands of missiles have the Iranians provided to their proxies to be fired into Israel to accomplish their stated goal of wiping Israel off the map. May that's Israel's problem. Now that's the world's problem, because after Israel they chant death to Israel, then they chant death to America. How many direct threats have they made to America? What would it mean if they had a nuclear weapon? What do

you think the world would look like? Do you think the world is better off without the Iranian regime, the number one state sponsor of terror having a nuclear weapon? You know, do you believe that this is a moment of opportunity. They don't have any air defense system right now,

and right now the Israeli's own the Iranian skies? Is it better considering they reject and have rejected heretofore every opportunity to get rid of the nuclear weapons system, especially based on the history of terrorism and targeting civilians and targeting and helping proxy groups out radical Islamis. Do you think radical Islamis mean it when they believe in a caliphate and that is convert or die? You know, did we learn anything about the nine to eleven Commission report?

They were at war with us? We were not at war with them. Doesn't mean we have forever wars. I don't want forever wars. Doesn't mean we have to have a military presence on the ground. I don't want a

military presence on the ground. But there is a window of opportunity now now with one nuclear facility very deep in the ground left to remove this threat now and forever, then the Iranians will have a choice again, and that is they can choose peace and they can keep their refineries and join the world community and keep their power grid going. Those are two layup targets for the Israelis now.

The Israelis over the weekend did show them that they have the ability to take out their refineries because they took one out, but they could have taken them all out because they're all in the same directed the same island. Anyway, the smoke and flames, you know, filling the sky over Tehran as Israel struck one of Iran's largest oil refineries and targeting more nuclear facilities, it looks like they knocked

out the two. I mean, I'm sure we'll get an assessment that is accurate in the days to come, but it looks like they took out two of their nuclear facilities completely. But they attacked one of the largest refineries in South Tehran and they're fuel and gas depot in Tehran during attacks late Saturday night and Sunday morning, and officials with the RANS Oil ministry confirmed the attack on one of their largest refinery depots, which has at least

eleven storage tanks located in an Afflon area. Now, this then becomes a point of leverage if the Iranian regime would like to keep their economy alive. So far, the Israelis have not taken out their ability completely to make money, meaning that that is their entire economy there. So far, they have not taken out their power grit. These are easy targets now for the Israelis, as we all know, and I think the Israelis are pretty hell bent on just making sure that they get rid of the nuclear

sites and that they remove that threat. Communications have been shut down for the Iranian people. Interestingly, Elon Musk is back in the news because he said he has activated his satellite based internet service Starlink in Iran after the Islamic Republic's regime disrupted their ground bases access. He said the beams are on in a post on x and anyway,

he made that announcement that the service is active. Iran has blocked internet access for their citizens after Israel pummeled the country's nuclear facilities with missiles that took out you know, they obviously, you know, they've already taken out a lot of top people.

So we do have a stake in this. But I think the presidents, you know, thoughts are perfect. If you want peace, you can't have peace. If iranas and nuclear the world won't have peace. The Israelis have said their Iron Dome missile defense system has been able to intercept ninety percent of these Iranian rockets. They said that earlier today, providing their first statistics on the war, only five to

ten percent of ballistic missiles hitting actual residential areas. Look as good as their missile defense systems are, they're not perfect, and these weapons that the Iranians are firing are bigger than they've ever been, which is one of the reasons why Israel had to act now. And again I asked how many missiles would have to be fired at an American town or city by a foreign adversary before you would expect your government to take them out. I would

say one. Some people too, I don't know, But for me, my threshold is one. Not that I want war. I want deterrence and de terrence's military strength. Peace is not defined by an absence of conflict or war. Peace is defined by the ability to defeat your enemies if they ever attack you, and prevent them from ever daring to attack you. That's how I define it. There's nothing new about the Prime Minister's claim that Iran has tried to

assassinate Donald Trump. I don't know why that made so much news, but ever since bb told Brett Behar yesterday that Iran was plotting to assassinate Donald Trump, the media has been treating it like it's breaking news, and that revelation has prompted widespread speculation that Netanyahu is referring to some bombshell secret intelligence that that Israel has showing that Iran was behind maybe the two attempts, one in Butler,

one at Trump International. But now, who undoubtedly was referring to was the Iranian plot to kill Trump that the FBI discovered last year when the dj actually indicted an Iranian agent who was recruiting a hit team to take out Trump. Remember, it's been widely reported that we have

Iranian assassination squads in this country. But if you go back to the New York Post, for example, November eighth, right after the election, Iran instructed one of their agents, running a New York City based criminal network to stalk and assassinate former President Trump in the twenty four elections

final weeks, telling him that money's not an issue. An unnamed official in Iran's notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard, they along with the Kuds forces, were responsible for in part plotting, planning, scheming, providing the weaponry for October second, I'm sorry October seventh, focus on surveilling and ultimately assassinating Trump. This is not new news for anybody that follows the news on a

regular basis. And if you want to take it a step further, if you go back to April of this year, you have this Islamist revolutionary newspaper widely considered the voice of Iran Supreme Leader kamen A, encouraging the targeted assassination of Donald Trump. That's April fifth. According to the Persian language article published, it said Trump is way out of

line any day now. In revenge for the blood of Martyr Solomoni, meaning General Solomoni, who Donald Trump took out in his first term, A few bullets are going to be fired into the empty skull of his and he'll be drinking from the chalice of a cursed death. It is a death culture, unfortunately, which it wasn't. Wishievil didn't exist, but it does, and Israeli airstrikes again did target one

of their refineries. I'm not sure I believe this. UPI reported that President Trump cautioned Israel against taking out the Iranian Supreme Leader as part of their military offensive. Netanyahu apparently discussed it with Trump as an opportunity opened up for Israel to kill kaman A, but Trump shut it down, said it wasn't a good idea.

No kings, no kings, no kings. You know, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler. We have fang Fang Swallwell Democrats, some of the dumbest protesters you'd ever want to meet in your life, making these ridiculous comments.

Harris Mayorcis problem. We have known terrorists, assassination squads, murderers, rapists, gang members, cartel members, drug dealers in this country because of them. Well but seon they took out an innocent person and they were removed from the country. They weren't here illegally. But they would just be a nice people,

no doubt they're nice people. And even the President said, you know, we're going to try and really go after the criminals first and not hurt our farmers or people that need And I guess you know there is in place a program right now if you self deport you're going to get a thousand bucks in the ability to apply to come right back in.

there's been no introspection, there's been no course correction. And I don't even know at this point if they're even capable of it. And if God forbid, you're somebody like John Fetterman, I said, yeah, the two hundred and fiftieth honoring our army on their two hundred fiftieth anniversary is a cool idea. And he said, and he praised President

Trump's military parade. You would think he's, you know, the devil incarnate according to Democrats, because they're so locked into the Jasmine Crockett, AOC grandpap Bernie Elizabeth Warren's squad wing of their party. State Democratic lawmaker in North Carolina come has come under fire for posting a photo of a No King's protest over the weekend featuring an image of a beheaded President Trump. Hakeem Jeffries is warning colleagues to

act responsibly. I think that's impossible. You know, there was a good question. I forgot where I saw this today. You know why are Democrats embracing eighty twenty issues and they're on the twenty percent side, open borders, opposition to deporting violent criminals, you know, championing the rights of men to play women's sports, opposition to Israel. Why is that because and it actually came up with a good conclusion, because that's where they get their.
