  My handshake is better than anything I ever signs, right here.

• 0:26Speaker 01

  You are a one of one?

• 0:27Tom Ellsworth?

  My son's right there.

• 0:28Speaker 03

  I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:34Speaker 04

  We're live. Oh, wow. All right, for everybody at home, don't panic, don't freak out, don't get mad. I'm only here for one day, two hours. That's all I ask. It's not a lot. What an honor to be here, hanging out with three of my favorite people, and I'm not patronizing you guys. I watch podcasts, but this is my top podcast. This is my favorite. When I was a guest, the only thing I didn't like is my friend over there, Thomas, did a better Clinton than I did.

• 1:05Speaker 05

  Oh, no.

• 1:05Speaker 04

  That was not cool.

• 1:07Speaker 05

  We might have a Clinton off today at some point, Sean. We have to.

• 1:11Speaker 04

  Well, it's Patrick.

• 1:11Speaker 05

  That could get messy.

• 1:12Speaker 04

  It's Patrick Bet-David's podcast. What an honor to sit in his chair. What a great entrepreneur. By the way, the new digs?

• 1:19Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:20Speaker 04

  How awesome.

• 1:21Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, and they're not done yet. They got more to put up.

• 1:23Speaker 04

  What are you gonna do with all the signed lockers?

• 1:26Tom Ellsworth?

  It's over there. Right now, people can come over. If they come to visit the, you know, our clients will come in. We take them in there. We've set the set there. They take pictures of it. It's really cool. We love the fan and the client response to it. But you're right. Like, when they replace Yankee Stadium, or they get a new basketball court someplace, and they cut the little pieces up, maybe we should, like, auction for charity or something.

• 1:47Speaker 04

  It's kind of like Yankee Stadium. When they closed it down, they were selling the...

• 1:52Tom Ellsworth?

  All the old chairs.

• 1:53Speaker 04

  All the old chairs.

• 1:54Speaker 05

  You have one in the other. Guys, I have to come clean. I've been selling pieces of the set.

• 2:00Speaker 05

  Because I'm not gonna lie to you, no I'm joking, but yeah, no, but it's John, it's an honor to have you here.

• 2:05Adam Sosnick?

  And by the way, PBD and our team from Bet David Consulting, they're down at the Trump Doral.

• 2:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, they're at the SLS. The SLS.

• 2:12Adam Sosnick?

  So we appreciate you filling in for our CEO today.

• 2:15Speaker 04

  First of all, what I love, in the intro that you have, the new intro to this new studio, which I think is spectacular, I really love it. I love studios. I really, I went, I just started a podcast and I got a lot to learn from all of you and I have a lot of questions. I don't know what the hell an algorithm is. I don't know how to tap into the algorithm, so I'll hopefully learn a lot from you guys. But honestly, to sit here with all you guys, the fact that I get to spend a day with you is an honor for me. For those of you at home, you're only putting up with me two hours. Patrick Bet David will be back next week.

• 2:47Adam Sosnick?

  Unless you crush it and he might just sit down, you never know.

• 2:50Speaker 04

  You know, you're-

• 2:51Speaker 05

  Rob's a producer, he may call the shot then.

• 2:53Speaker 04

  Do I have to introduce Adam, Thomas and Vinnie? I think everybody knows everybody here. And Robert over there at the controls, he's gonna put up all the information for everybody. I want, you know, Patrick said something in your last podcast which caught my attention. Cause one of the things that's important on a podcast, you gotta get people to subscribe. Those of you at home, by the way, good morning. I'm not a morning person, I go to bed at four o'clock. But hit the subscribe button and this is the best podcast out there and I'm gonna tell you why. And I'm not, you're gonna think I'm patronizing because I'm here. I don't need to patronize. I'm just, I'm shooting straight. You are one of the funniest guys I've ever met.

• 3:33Speaker 05

  That's, thank you so much.

• 3:35Speaker 04

  And I hope you crush it today.

• 3:36Speaker 05

  Thank you, I appreciate it.

• 3:37Speaker 04

  And we set you up, you have no idea, that's coming up later in the podcast.

• 3:40Adam Sosnick?

  I'm used to it, I roll with the punches.

• 3:42Speaker 04

  Okay, CEO, COO, 1.5 billion in assets that you have managed and all these businesses that Thomas has been involved in. Unbelievable. Adam is an entrepreneur that teaches people how to manage money and accumulate wealth.

• 4:00Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 4:00Speaker 04

  All right, all of that, this is what I love about Patrick. He put together a smart team, an ensemble cast. You guys have great chemistry. When I had the- The honor of just being a guest here. Um, it was really an honor for me and then I got to see how you all interact together. You were pushing me the hardest. Just so you know, you want, you wanted to grab a controversial statement out of me so bad.

• 4:25Adam Sosnick?

  Extract all your wisdom and.

• 4:27Speaker 07

  Adam did that?

• 4:28Adam Sosnick?

  Knowledge.

• 4:28Speaker 07

  Wait, what?

• 4:29Adam Sosnick?

  I always play nice.

• 4:31Speaker 04

  Oh, man, but, uh, all right. So it's an honor. Call to action. Please subscribe. This is a great show. If you're looking, there's a lot of stuff going on in the podcast world, right? Okay. In the podcast world, you have people basically talking to each other, yelling at each other, coming up with conspiracy theories. No, this is a show for smart, educated people that want real information about the world around them. And you guys deliver that in, you know, every single, uh, show. Uh, so, uh, we're going to get to some of the topics here. Uh, one thing I did start in the podcast space.

• 5:02Adam Sosnick?

  I was just gonna ask you.

• 5:03Speaker 04

  I did not.

• 5:04Adam Sosnick?

  About this.

• 5:04Speaker 04

  Okay. I did. I said, don't worry about promoting my show, but you guys have been very gracious.

• 5:08Adam Sosnick?

  Have to.

• 5:09Speaker 04

  You said, so I started a new pod.

• 5:11Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 5:12Speaker 04

  So I do three hours of radio a day, an hour of TV a day.

• 5:14Adam Sosnick?

  Wow.

• 5:15Speaker 04

  Okay. And then now I'm doing two days a week and some days it goes on two hours, an hour and a half, three hours, whatever it takes. It's so fulfilling. You guys are all coming on. Do you know that?

• 5:28Adam Sosnick?

  I can't wait.

• 5:29Speaker 04

  I love it.

• 5:30Adam Sosnick?

  I can't wait.

• 5:30Speaker 04

  It's gonna be cool.

• 5:31Adam Sosnick?

  Can't wait.

• 5:32Speaker 04

  Um, and we call it hanging out with Hannity. I think we got a, Robert, we got a promo?

• 5:36Adam Sosnick?

  Can we see this thing?

• 5:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, of course.

• 5:38Adam Sosnick?

  Let's go.

• 5:38Speaker 04

  Let's listen. I'm not, I'm not here to condemn you.

• 5:42Speaker 07

  I don't mind. I can handle it. Believe me. You're in prison. You think anything can hurt me now?

• 5:46Speaker 04

  I'm gonna make a pledge to you right now. You run for president, I'm running for president. You run, I run. You run, I run.

• 5:53Speaker 07

  You talking about running against me?

• 5:55Speaker 04

  Absolutely. You lose. All right. You're hanging out with Hannity. Look what I just got. Not only that, autograph, the Matthew Gachak.

• 6:05Speaker 07

  You've really embraced being a Florida man.

• 6:07Speaker 04

  All I talk about. It's been great, and so it's good to see you.

• 6:10Speaker 07

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 6:11Speaker 04

  I would always say.

• 6:12Speaker 07

  No, you, you, you said you're never moving, you keep threatening. I've owned property down here for 25 years.

• 6:18Speaker 04

  You did, no, no, you did.

• 6:20Speaker 07

  I prefer him in the hoodie.

• 6:21Speaker 01

  I'm not making a statement, it's comf- it's comf-

• 6:23Speaker 04

  It's comfortable.

• 6:24Speaker 01

  I can't find good clothes.

• 6:26Speaker 04

  You don't drink much of my margarita.

• 6:27Speaker 07

  Yeah, it's very good. No, you should not, it's excellent margarita. You need a Vlog. I'm trying to keep my wits about me.

• 6:34Speaker 05

  That's cool.

• 6:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's pretty cool.

• 6:36Speaker 05

  Oh, that's awesome, Sean, that's great. That's a great studio.

• 6:39Speaker 04

  That's gonna be, that's gonna take me to the next level.

• 6:41Speaker 05

  This is it, people are gonna know who you are now.

• 6:44Speaker 04

  No, well, they-

• 6:45Speaker 05

  People have never heard of Sean Hannity. You can't go anywhere right now.

• 6:47Speaker 04

  What did Patrick call me when I was here, he goes, "You're like an OG, you've been around forever." I'm like, basically you're saying I'm an old guy.

• 6:55Speaker 05

  Original gangsters, what the OGs-

• 6:56Speaker 04

  I know what OG means, but-

• 6:58Adam Sosnick?

  So, the premise of this, I mean, I, it's kinda like how Bill Maher has his great show, Real Time with Bill Maher, then he has his Club Random. Was that sort of the inspiration, or what was it?

• 7:08Speaker 04

  No.

• 7:09Adam Sosnick?

  Cause you got the mainstream, legacy media, you know, fulfillment, and then you have this? You said, "This is more fulfilling?"

• 7:15Speaker 04

  I'm gonna experiment with a lot of different topics. Believe it or not, I started in radio in 1987. So, the plan for this is, I'll do monologues, I'll do it solo, I'll do panels, I'll have you guys on, and just really good people. I did one, it hasn't dropped yet, with Sage Steele and Billy Bush.

• 7:35Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, wow.

• 7:36Speaker 04

  Two people that have had to deal with the media-

• 7:38Adam Sosnick?

  Yup.

• 7:39Speaker 04

  That's unbelievable. Alright, enough about me, I don't wanna talk about me, I wanna talk about issues.

• 7:45Speaker 04

  Alright, the president, we have Operation Epic Fury. Now the president is giving Iran another 10 days, which I think is promising, sounds promising. The president discussed this week how, well, they gave me a present, and he teased it, and the present was that he allowed these eight tankers to go through the Strait of Hormuz, which I thought was very interesting. Here's my question, and, and, Thomas, if you don't mind, I'll start with, well, you know what? Before I do that, I was watching the other day. You gave a beautiful prayer at the start of the show. I was very impressed.

• 8:23Tom Ellsworth?

  Thank you. And he didn't even let us know it was gonna happen. It was just like, go.

• 8:27Speaker 04

  You know, because I'm gonna stop here and just tell you, nothing in my life is possible without God.

• 8:33Tom Ellsworth?

  Amen.

• 8:33Speaker 04

  Fundamental for me.

• 8:34Tom Ellsworth?

  Amen. I'm in the same boat.

• 8:36Speaker 04

  So I'm not gonna put you on the spot today.

• 8:38Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, Adam?

• 8:40Adam Sosnick?

  You're putting me on the spot with a prayer? The Jewish guy with the prayer?

• 8:43Tom Ellsworth?

  This is awesome, Sean.

• 8:45Adam Sosnick?

  Well...

• 8:46Tom Ellsworth?

  Go ahead, Adam.

• 8:47Adam Sosnick?

  Okay. But believe it or not, PBD talked to me probably two years ago and he goes, "Listen, the one thing I want for you is to get closer to God." And I'm not the most holistic guy or philosophical guy, but being anchored to the man upstairs will never let you down.

• 9:06Tom Ellsworth?

  So give it to us.

• 9:08Adam Sosnick?

  Dear Lord, thank you for having us here. Thank you for having a great, filling guest for us today. Thank you for having my friends Vincent and Thomas here while we have PBD being out of the office today. But thank you for looking over us. Thank you for looking over America. Thank you for looking over the free world, and in your name we pray.

• 9:28Tom Ellsworth?

  Amen.

• 9:29Speaker 05

  Amen.

• 9:30Speaker 04

  Well done.

• 9:30Adam Sosnick?

  That's my first live prayer.

• 9:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Let's go. He heard you. Fantastic. I love it.

• 9:37Speaker 04

  How can anyone, and I know I'm getting off track, but I have a kind of stream of consciousness, how can anyone look at the magnitude and the majesty of creation? We now, through science, know about universes within universes within universes. Okay, the idea, to be an atheist to me, you have to believe something can come from nothing.

• 9:58Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, right.

• 9:59Speaker 04

  Right? Thomas, I'll let you expand on that.

• 10:03Tom Ellsworth?

  So, you know, I don't think any fair-minded person could step back and just look at all the coincidence of creation and be an atheist. I don't think it's possible. You know, we see, you know, we see like Indian cave paintings and they were, you know, worshiping the sun and stuff. Where did that come from? Where did that come from? You had living people running around, and why did they feel this need to worship something? Because I think when you look at nature, you're just awed by it. And you realize there's gotta be something bigger than yourself. And I don't mean thunder and lightning and all those natural things. Just looking around and seeing the place and seeing how it works. And then asking yourself, how did all these different animals show up? Well, it was evolution. Well, wait a minute.

• 10:47Tom Ellsworth?

  If squirrels became monkeys, became men, why do we still have squirrels and monkeys? Who said, you know what? I'm not evolving this week. You guys go on without me. No, you can't look at creation and have anything but just an intelligent design point of view. Even if you don't root it in any faith, you just look around and say, how did this all get here? And how are we on this spinning rock circling this big ball of fire? And with order to it. There is a sense of order to it. So I think when you look at the order and diversity of creation, I don't think any fair-minded person can say anything other than, well, I don't know what it is and I'm not ready to get with your religion. But you know what? Something's out there.

• 11:26Speaker 05

  But a lot of those people too, Sean, I think a lot of them that are the atheists and stuff, it's very hard to once accept that because then you have to be accountable for your actions. You actually have to have, there's a consequence to your actions. And a lot of these people, I read a book that Pat told me, A Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. Atheist, wife, Christian. He's like, I'm gonna prove you wrong, honey. Went out, talked to theologians, everybody. And he made an actual case for Christ and the order and God and the story. And I was just reading in Isaiah in the Bible, Old Testament. Sean, he's explaining Jesus Christ hundreds of years later that he was gonna die for our sins and he was gonna be crucified. It's not, this isn't mumbo jumbo. It's accepting it and believing it and walking.

• 12:11Speaker 05

  You know how hard it is? If you're partying and drinking and doing the girls and everything that I used to do, to stop all that, to stop all that and be like, I'm all in. Because there's no, Christianity isn't like a sideline sport where you're like, yeah, I'm gonna dip my feet in, but I'm gonna go out and drink and do cocaine. You gotta go all in. And I think a lot of those people, Sean, it's hard to be like, I have all this money and all the girls. And I don't wanna give it up for what? And then have somebody judge me? They don't like that.

• 12:35Tom Ellsworth?

  I'll just say this, you know, if you don't have a belief in a higher power, something else is gonna fill that space. So I went through sort of the...

• 12:45Adam Sosnick?

  A time in my life where I wasn't sure, I was questioning everything and I think I was like, "I'm agnostic, I'm gonna be agnostic, I don't know if you don't know." And what happens is, you start to question God. And look at what's going on in America, there's a lack of faith, lack of community, a lack of family, a lack of values. Something's gonna fill the space, whether it's woke-ism, whether it's Shendrenzer-ism, whether it's, you know, any ism that just takes the place of a higher power. So, everything is binary to me. You know, like I say, I give the option, "Oh, you might criticize Trump, you want Kamala?" So if you stop believing in the man upstairs, something's gonna fill the space and believe me, it's not gonna be as virtuous as God.

• 13:27Speaker 04

  Something Thomas said, as profound and deep, the magnitude of it all, I don't think we as human beings are designed to fully grasp it. And then it creates the mystery. And then, like I believe in Judeo-Christian principles that founded this country. And, you know, there's certain things in the Bible that just make you wonder, ponder, give you hope. The eye has not seen, the ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the hearts of man what God has in store for those that love the truth.

• 14:02Adam Sosnick?

  That's crazy.

• 14:03Speaker 04

  You know, Jesus on the cross saying, "This day you will be with me in paradise." Right? I mean, deep, the very hairs of your head, even the white ones on my head.

• 14:13Adam Sosnick?

  Are counted.

• 14:14Speaker 04

  Are counted. Great head of hair. I mean, it's pretty deep, profound. And then you hear all the stories of the life after life. Have you read all those books?

• 14:22Adam Sosnick?

  I haven't.

• 14:23Speaker 04

  Have you read any of those?

• 14:24Adam Sosnick?

  Yep. You know, and it's amazing. You take a bunch of people that have never met each other, that talk, all talk about this experience, right? Hearing loved ones and a, you know, some sort of white tunnel. And you take all these people that don't know each other, over here, over here, over here, over here. And they're all coming back with the same relative story. Why is that? Why is that? And I think it's because they're given glimpses, as much as, as far as God wants to allow you to get a glimpse, right? Because it's also a faith-based.

• 15:00Tom Ellsworth?

  And, you know, if he gives you the answer to the whole thing, do you need faith anymore?

• 15:03Speaker 04

  It's because there's two cool books, 90 Minutes in Heaven, I read that book, Heaven is Real, that was also turned into a movie, I like that too. Which actually can dovetail into our first topic.

• 15:14Speaker 04

  And that is, the whole premise of Operation, well, First Midnight Hammer, you know, that the Iranians are evil, that they chant death to America, they chant death to Israel, they have been the number one state sponsor of terror. They are, to me, an existential threat. I don't even have the patience to deal with stupid people

• 15:38Speaker 04

  that don't understand evil in our time. And, I think, I see President Trump is learning three historical lessons, and I'd love for all three of you to weigh in on this. One, he learned from Reagan, peace through strength. Two, he learned the last hundred years of human history, which proved that there was evil, and that's Mao in China, Stalin in Russia, that's Hitler in Germany, that's Mussolini in fascism, that's Tojo, Japan, that would include Pol Pot in the killing fields, right? And, over a hundred million souls, Thomas, dead. They're gone. And the third lesson I think he learned, is no quagmires. We can't send our national treasure on the ground

• 16:22Speaker 04

  for extended periods of time, you know, in these conflicts. And with military, with the next generation of weaponry, it's now possible. But the premise here is, Thomas, I'll ask you this. This regime is evil. I'm never gonna convince those that don't believe that, but I believe they are, and President Trump was smart enough to take this threat away from our children and grandchildren. Thoughts?

• 16:46Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, it was somewhere between, you know, I didn't vote for new wars. Okay, you don't have to vote for new wars. Nobody voted for, you know, disease either, right? And, things happen in life. This was necessary. I think everybody has been called to account. All the people that want to deny all the things you just said, which are all very, very correct. When they launch a rocket that is now capable of going 4,000 miles, you just ask yourself, okay, what did they put on top of that rocket? And who, who exactly are they gonna put it on? And once they, they have that, you know, now you're gonna have to constantly manage them. This is what happened when nobody took North Korea seriously. And Japan's sitting there, you know, they, they launched another rocket. It's a little bit closer now.

• 17:31Tom Ellsworth?

  And they were dropping them in the ocean without warheads, showing that, hey, we're getting better and better and longer and more precise. And all of a sudden, oh damn, they've enriched uranium too. So now, not only do they have, you know, nuclear capability in North Korea, now they have built a rocket and they've built and built and built and built with the technology to get there. So you sit there and say, okay, North Korea can be managed. You, he can be managed, even Kim Jong-un, Kim Jong-soon. Those guys were at least manageable, you know what I mean, Sean? You get to this regime, it's not manageable. North Korea doesn't say, you know, hey, death to America, and I'm willing to die for it, and we're all gonna die for it, and we're gonna set up suicide squads and all that. No.

• 18:15Tom Ellsworth?

  North Carolina is insane, but they're not insane on like, you know, an embroiled faith that every, that the, the end result is death, death, death, death, death. It's like you can't negotiate with it. And you look at it, so you can't let it be capable. And people say, no, no new wars, you shouldn't have done this. I don't want new wars. I don't want $200 billion that needs to go for other things to go for this. I, I, I'm as American as anybody else, I don't want that. I said, but when you look at what's going on there, now you see the rocket and say, okay, all right. All you people demonstrating in London, do, do you see that, that if you draw a line from Diego Garcia, oh, that same line would reach London? How do you sleep?

• 18:58Tom Ellsworth?

  And, and when they tell you, now they wanna do this, and now they wanna do that? Wait, what do you do? When they tell you they don't like that you're persecuting rape gangs in the UK? Or we're going to bomb you? What do you say then? What do you say when the bully is fully armed with the ability to deliver the bomb and the bomb? And I think Trump has learned all this. I take a lot of heat. They say, "Oh, there's no new wars and you're just a simp for them." No, no, no, I'm not. My president is not perfect, but I think that this one we got right. Do we wish that it was easy and as quick as Maduro? Sure we do. Sure we do. But it doesn't mean that somebody's got to stand up for this and somebody's got to

• 19:43Tom Ellsworth?

  pull it back.

• 19:44Speaker 04

  Let me ask you, let me follow up. Because I think that a lot of people don't get the Trump doctrine. Yes, it's no forever wars, but that doesn't mean that we're not going to use the might and power of the US military. Let's go back. He wiped out ISIS. He took out Soleimani in Baghdad, dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan. And Midnight Hammer, 14 bunker buster bombs knocked out their ability to enrich uranium. So that is not, it's not a forever war, but it is strategically smart for our long-term security.

• 20:20Speaker 05

  I agree with that. I realize multiple things can exist at the same time. The regime, evil 1,000%. We spoke about this before the podcast started. If somebody had a gun to your head and the people, Sean, you're going to represent the Iranian people. If somebody has a gun to your head and they're going to kill you, do you care who kills the gunman? Do you care if they're Jewish, Christian, America, tall, short, transgender? I don't care. I want you to help me kill the person that has a gun to my head. The Iranian people need this, okay? That exists. Does America and Israel and all these different people that are involved, they have their own agendas? Absolutely, absolutely.

• 21:04Speaker 05

  I think the one thing, Sean, which people are going to be wary of is, number one, the trust in the government has been at an all-time low. When they see... Wars like when I was in during um after nine eleven we went to Iraq. When they were lied to about weapons of mass destruction, they lied every day, weapons of mass destruction. Then we showed up and there was no weapons of weapons of mass destruction. That's one of the reasons I left the military like whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys lied about the they had these weapons of mass destruction. A million people are dead, thousands of American soldiers are dead. What the lie, so I can see the the skepticism of people and the weariness of wait a minute. We've heard this before, we've seen it before, but on the twist side of this, Sean, I'm gonna I have to go everywhere. I trust President Trump, me personally.

• 21:47Speaker 05

  I have clip after clip of eighties night, he loves America. He always talked crap about about China, he's always been about America. And I fall victim to this, Sean, we all we do like we talked about. Who's saying this and who's saying that? Like we're in those meetings, like we're in the Situation Room, I'm not. I don't know, I'm not in the chessboard looking, they are. I trust him, he loves this country. And at the end of the show, we have to wait, we're how many weeks into it? I think they say that we have a couple of weeks left. Let him just like with the tariffs, let's see what they have to do, I can't jump the gun and be like. Oh, it's this or that, give him some time, I said this couple of months ago, let him cook with the tariffs. He did a fantastic job until the Supreme Court freaking cut his legs off from underneath them.

• 22:32Speaker 05

  Give him time, but we have to understand that a lot of trust when it comes to military and government. You have to understand a little bit of the the weariness of the American people.

• 22:40Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I don't want to overcomplicate this, so to me, it's it comes down to this one thing. How long do you negotiate with terrorists? We've been negotiating with this terror regime for forty seven years. And Trump, love him or dislike him, had the balls to be like, no, we're done with these people. Because if you at at what point does negotiation just become normal? Yeah, we're just negotiating again for the last five decades. So and then what happens when you're negotiating and their behavior doesn't change? So you need to have some accountability for your bad behavior. So this endless negotiation, oh, we did this, we did this, we did the Iran deal, the JCPA are not gonna do this.

• 23:21Adam Sosnick?

  But their behavior hasn't changed, they're still funding proxies, they're still basically shouting death to America and Trump. He's not playing that game. So two more points, Trump's the art of the deal. You know, I reread the art of the deal, some of the biggest lessons you rate was create leverage and negotiate through strength.

• 23:40Adam Sosnick?

  Trump created leverage, took out half, you know, 80% of their military capabilities. He's negotiating through strength. He took out how many of their top leaders? So what I think, cause you brought up peace through strength, I think, and I'm gonna own this, I think we need to rephrase peace through strength. I think we need to start calling it stability through strength. Cause the world's never gonna have world peace. And we're running around fighting wars thinking that we're gonna have peace. What we're solving for is stability. So what's stability? Stability needs to be enforced, right? And if you don't have consequences to your bad actions, then what happens? So to me, Trump is running around the world doing what?

• 24:23Adam Sosnick?

  Ending hostile regimes to America, creating stability. Do we have stability with Venezuela now? I think so. Are we potentially looking at stability with Cuba? I think that's next. Are we trying to have stability with Russia and Ukraine? Remains to be seen. Trump is doing his stability through strength mantra in Iran.

• 24:44Speaker 04

  So you wanna replace Reagan?

• 24:46Adam Sosnick?

  No one's gonna replace Reagan, ever.

• 24:48Speaker 05

  But can I ask you a question?

• 24:49Adam Sosnick?

  But it's just sort of updated.

• 24:51Speaker 05

  But I wanna ask you a question, though.

• 24:52Speaker 04

  I have a question.

• 24:53Speaker 05

  Go, please, go ahead.

• 24:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, what's your point?

• 24:55Speaker 01

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' healthcare to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the HouseMajorityPact.com.

  You got me, Sean. So perfect. That's what we were doing. Different hosts.

• 26:02Adam Sosnick?

  Thank you very much.

• 26:03Speaker 05

  Day one. Perfect timing. But let me ask you a question, and Sean, you guys, I want to ask all of you guys. When Midnight Hammer was the first mission, we, like, just put yourself in the American public's eye. We went in, we stopped their nuclear capabilities. We, okay, that was it. It was clean, in and out, done. You have to at least see the, like, the regular, average Joe American that's going to work going, "Wait, wait, wait. You guys said we knocked that out during the summer. Now what changed? Now they have in return somewhere else?" Because at the end of the day, Sean, this is where I, I know people are upset. This was sold as we're doing it for the Iranian people. Like, and I'm really putting myself there because I know people from Iran. And my mom, who's sitting there, Sean, that you met, she's from Iran. They, all the people that would have been massacred in the streets, that were fighting,

• 26:48Speaker 05

  that Trump said, "Guys, go and fight and do it." And I love them for that, and God rest all their souls. Arrested, they hanged last week for freaking protesting and doing what he was doing. And God bless them for doing it. I, like, you have to understand, Adam, the people are like, "Well, okay, we can't, we haven't heard from the people because they have no internet." Now we're saying, "Oh, they have uranium and all that stuff." You have to understand that the people are like, "I thought we took all that out in the summer." Because if it's for the people, I haven't heard, because Sean, are we going to put in a leader that we're going to pick, that's going to run them? Do you think their military is going to go, "Oh, you guys, oh, America's putting this guy in? Yeah, we're going to follow him." Do you understand how difficult I think that, I don't think anybody's thinking about that part.

• 27:28Speaker 04

  So let me take it to the next level. So the president extended out negotiations for 10 more days.

• 27:35Speaker 04

  Um, I, for me, the best interview that was the most revealing in terms of what imminent threat or defining imminent threat, I had the Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff, he was in the room, he negotiated with the Iranians, I think we have a clip of it, I want to play it, and this is where he affirmed, they had 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, which means that you could very quickly enrich it from 60 to 90%, which is weapons grade, you can do that in anywhere from seven to 12 days. Now, that would be the equivalent of 11 bombs. Thomas mentioned earlier, we now know their ballistic missile capability

• 28:20Speaker 04

  range is way further than we thought. By the way, you know what that means? Paris, London, you know, targets that nobody thought they would have had. But let me play this, and then I want to ask on the other side of it, as you listen to this, if the president negotiates a deal, or if he has to leave, what are the things that must be accomplished before we say, "Mission accomplished"? Okay. All right, this is Steve Witkoff.

• 28:47Speaker 07

  ...up with telling us that they had the inalienable right to enrich, to which we responded, that, from President Trump, that they, we had the inalienable right to stop them from enriching. So, but they, they opened up by challenging us. Their next statement to us was, that they had 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium. 60% enriched uranium would take a week, maybe 10 days at the outside, to bring up to 90% weapons grade. So it was a clear threat, they were boasting about having it, and they said that that was going to be something that was going to be very valuable. At the same time that they were

• 29:31Speaker 07

  attesting to wanting nuclear for civil purposes. There is no reason whatsoever to be enriching past 20%, unless you're going for a weapon.

• 29:43Speaker 07

  And then finally, and this was all in the beginning, in the beginning meeting, they said to us, and this was some challenge, "You're not going to get from us diplomatically what you could not achieve militarily." Now, yes, we had destroyed their three main enrichment and conversion centers, Natanz, Asfahan, and Fordo. That was clear. They, of course, didn't want to admit it. But think about the notion of beginning a negotiation by saying that we would not be able to get diplomatically what we couldn't achieve militarily. We did achieve militarily, but they were basically saying that we didn't, and they weren't going to give it to us anyway.

• 30:27Speaker 04

  All right, Thomas, let me throw that to you with this question framed this way. Now, either they're going to negotiate out, maybe they learn something, the president begged them for peace twice before Midnight Hammer, before Epic Fury, he's now giving them another lifeline. What are the conditions? What do they have to guarantee? No nukes? That enriched uranium, there's no way we can risk that uranium being in the wrong hands. We're reading that Marines have arrived and more are going. I don't know how to interpret that. I don't know if that has to do with Carg Island, I don't know if that has to do with enriched uranium, I wouldn't know.

• 31:12Speaker 04

  But what are the conditions in your head that either a negotiated settlement or a military victory? What would it take?

• 31:20Tom Ellsworth?

  I think it's going to take a negotiated settlement at the end of a barrel of a gun, because I think that's all they understand. And so I think the military destroying the things that are destroyed and then saying, "Okay, so now are we going to do this?" And if you look at the, you know, the multipoint plan, really, like, the first six, seven points was all about, you know, no nuclear, right? You give back this stuff, you don't enrich this, you don't do this, you don't do this, you don't do this. And someone needs to maybe educate me, maybe I missed On why they would need enriched uranium for industrial purposes, I don't think they run on nuclear power over there. I'm pretty sure they have more than enough fossil fuel

• 32:04Tom Ellsworth?

  and to run all their power plants and desalination and do everything they need to do. But the first section was all about nuclear. The second section was about funding all the H's, the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, funding them. Then the third section went back to stability. So if you really look at it, it was a 15-point plan, but there was really only three asks: nukes, no funding these other folks, and then, you know, recognition and create some sort of inspection and peacekeeping force and whatnot. And that's it. And what they're saying is you're not going to get through negotiation, which you couldn't get militarily. You're basically telling us, okay, kill me. You know, okay, run me over,

• 32:48Tom Ellsworth?

  which is horrifying. It's like, really? You know, and the Marines in the area, the USS Tripoli sailed. We called this two weeks ago, remember that? Said USS Tripoli, and I said, listen, the only reason the USS Tripoli is going there, if you know anything about military structure and what the purpose of that ship is, 2,500 Marines, F-35s, aircraft carriers stay way over here and are protected by submarines and very, very strong partnerships. Well, guess what? If you're going to go in, you need the USS Tripoli or you need the USS Boxer. And the USS Boxer sailed on the 18th, I believe, out of San Diego with another

• 33:29Tom Ellsworth?

  thousand Marines and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Force. And the Tripoli sailed over there with the 35th Marine Expeditionary Force with 2,500 Marines on there. And so whether they take Carg Island or they take, and I don't know, I can't pronounce it, you can help me, the Q. No, no, no. The island that is in the strait, in the hook, as they call it, there's a long lateral island begins with a Q. And they say, if you take that, it eliminates a lot of these small rockets and the pestering attacks that they fire into the strait to stop the ships. If you look at a map, though, I don't know what the name is. Anyway, the point is... You need the USS Tripler, the USS Boxer, there it is. What's that, begin with a Q?

• 34:13Speaker 05

  Qeshm?

• 34:15Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 34:15Speaker 05

  Qeshm.

• 34:16Tom Ellsworth?

  That's...

• 34:16Speaker 05

  Vinnie, we're gonna need you on this.

• 34:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, zoom back on it, see that there?

• 34:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:20Tom Ellsworth?

  So you take that island, and this is what, you know, the military is saying. That Qeshm, take Qeshm Island, and you're gonna have to do that Marines on the ground. I don't wanna see Marines on the ground, but...

• 34:32Speaker 05

  Well, you don't wanna see it, but they're going, they're going.

• 34:35Tom Ellsworth?

  They're on their way.

• 34:36Speaker 05

  But Sean, let me ask you guys a question. When you're dealing with the regime, and I'm genuinely being inquisitive right now. You're dealing with the regime that kills its own people, that beats women, throws gays off the building. They're freaking funding proxies and terrorists. I thought we don't negotiate technically with terrorists, but here's my question. They finally, we're negotiating with them, and they say, "Okay, we're not gonna enrich, and we're gonna stop." Are we still going to leave in the ayatollahs and these mullahs and everything? Like, what are we doing? Because it has to be, their government has to change.

• 35:08Tom Ellsworth?

  Regime collapse.

• 35:09Speaker 05

  The regime collapse, and that's the get, Sean, I'm gonna keep going back to it. I hope that they have, without telling us, whatever, they have to keep it secret, a shadow government, so to speak, being formed in Iran. Because, like I said, Sean, how can you... Do you think there, let's say what, 800,000 soldiers, Iranian soldiers? Once we do a regime change, they're gonna just willingly be like, "Okay, whoever the United States and Israel put in, we're gonna..." I don't see that happening. So when I, you gotta take, like, do we have to take all of them out? That's a crazy operation, because it's, again...

• 35:42Speaker 04

  What about arming the people?

• 35:44Speaker 05

  That's, I had that conversation with one of my friends, but he goes, "Vinnie, you start giving those, just everybody, weapons." He's like, "Then other factions are gonna start rising up and people..." He said it'd be a very, very...

• 35:55Speaker 04

  But this is what makes, I think, Operation Epic Fury so historical. I mean, I would argue from an intelligence standpoint, military standpoint, this operation to this point, we don't know the final outcome yet, and it's gonna get complicated, and I agree with what Thomas was saying. But so far, it's the greatest military operation in the history of warfare, as of today. Now, how it concludes, I want to go back to what Thomas was saying and get your thoughts, and then, Adam, your thoughts. Because to me, one way or the other, certain conditions have to be met, or else, we don't ever want to go back. Right? So what does that mean? They cannot have nukes.

• 36:37Speaker 04

  We didn't expect that their ballistic missiles would be able to have the range that they have. As always, international inspectors suck, and they got it wrong. Okay. But they can't keep 60% enriched uranium that they can turn into weapons-grade in seven to 12 days. That has to be part of the deal. The straits has to be open, that's part of the deal. Hate to tell you one other thing, I've known Donald Trump for 30 some odd years. There's no way in hell he's leaving there unless they're agreeing to pay us back for all the money we had to spend to liberate that country from being in a nuclear threat.

• 37:12Speaker 05

  Oh, you really think he's going to be that guy?

• 37:13Speaker 04

  Hundred percent.

• 37:14Speaker 05

  Oh, wow.

• 37:15Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, remember, he got the oil from Venezuela. We took Maduro. We helped them set up whatever the setup there in terms of government. And then, the first so many barrels of oil, when they fully opened the pipelines, because remember, if you look at a map of Venezuela, the oil's like in a central valley, and these pipelines have to get it to the ports. And the pipelines were running at lower capacity. Why? Well, guess what? There was embargoes. And they were doing, they were having to ship contraband oil. So, when we got there, we said, okay, not only are the pipelines back open, and you guys, heavy crude is what comes out of the ground there, and heavy crude refineries is what's needed, oh, and guess what? That's what's built in Houston and Galveston. So, tell you what, the first $500 million, or whatever it is of oil, we're going to

• 38:00Tom Ellsworth?

  take. And we're going to take that back for all the crap that you've done, and to pay for this. So we got Maduro, the oil's going to flow, your people are going to get the money, but we're also going to get paid for this. I look at that deal in Venezuela, and I'm like, this is brilliant. Also, I can't say who, and I can't say what, but Pat and I were in Washington, we were at the Department of War, and we sat with an analyst, this wasn't Hegseth, but we sat with an analyst that said that our risk report was a, estimated that we would lose 10. The risk report was that it would be 10 servicemen lost in the assault to take Maduro. It was zero, and we had that one critically injured pilot. God bless him, who stood there at the State of the Union address and was recognized

• 38:45Tom Ellsworth?

  for his bravery, standing there, you know, with canes holding himself up because he hasn't fully recovered, and we lost zero, and we've lost 13 here. So, I like what I'm seeing, I don't like loss of life, and there are 13 families that are mourning the loss of servicemen that served bravely and honorably. But I look at Venezuela, and I believe Sean's right. There's going to be a deal back there that also comes back to pay for this stuff.

• 39:11Speaker 04

  Here's, I'm asking you to look into a crystal ball. Will they negotiate that deal? Or will they resist again? They had time, they had an opportunity for peace before Midnight Hammer, they had an opportunity for peace before Epic Fury, they chose to pass. Now, we're now at the fourth or fifth tier layer of leadership, we don't even know who the hell is in charge, although they did give Trump the big present, which is they let those eight tankers through, which I think was a sign that we do have power. So, will they, will they agree to give up the 60% enriched uranium? Adam, I want to get your thoughts on that.

• 39:48Adam Sosnick?

  Look, we were asking the nuclear question, right? So, I'm gonna try to weave, it's called the weave. So, I'm in a serious relationship these days, you know, shout out to my girl.

• 39:58Speaker 04

  Okay, let's change topics.

• 39:59Adam Sosnick?

  There we go. And you know what happens when you're in a relationship? I saw your lovely significant other, you start watching a lot of movies and TV. You stop going out.

• 40:08Speaker 04

  Romantic comedies.

• 40:09Adam Sosnick?

  You're doing the comedies, rom-coms.

• 40:11Speaker 04

  It gets bad when you have to watch The Real Housewives.

• 40:14Adam Sosnick?

  I don't do it, I won't do it, I refuse to do it. Unless it's The Real Housewives.

• 40:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay, you're giving advice on this topic.

• 40:20Adam Sosnick?

  Yes, here we go. So, the, the, a movie that we recently watched, because we like comedies, we like Sacha Baron Cohen, we like Borat, we like this, was The Dictator. Have you seen this movie, The Dictator?

• 40:32Speaker 04

  I haven't seen it, no.

• 40:32Adam Sosnick?

  Oh my God, Sacha Baron Cohen plays a Middle Eastern dictator who's enriching nuclear weapons, and his famous line, he goes, "We are having nuclear capabilities for peaceful purpose."

• 40:48Adam Sosnick?

  For peaceful purposes. He can't get it out. Cause it's such a joke. You're not enriching nuclear capabilities to 60%, which is almost weaponry for peaceful purposes.

• 41:00Speaker 04

  Let me add one thing. That interview with Wickoff, and this is where I think, for me, it was the defining moment. When I did that interview, I knew it was game over. The decision had been made. But he also added, "The US offered Iran low-rich uranium for civilian purposes for free in perpetuity." He said that in that interview.

• 41:24Adam Sosnick?

  For peaceful purposes. And then what they say.

• 41:26Speaker 04

  Exactly. They said, "No."

• 41:28Adam Sosnick?

  And then Rob, do you have that chart that I sent you last week? And it's a very rudimentary chart of basically how nuclear weapons work. None of us knew this, I guess. But 3 to 5% out of 100% is for energy or for peaceful purposes. 20% research. In the history of the world, nobody's gone to 60% without getting to weapons. So like, now we're just gonna trust a theocratic, thug-like, jihadi regime to be like, "Peaceful purposes." Listen, as much as I like watching movies, the world isn't a Disney movie. Like, things are gonna get real ugly unless you have someone step up and say, "No, no, no." You know, speaking, I spoke with another, uh, two buddies of mine, Navy SEALs. One is a US Navy SEAL, shout out to my boy Kaj, and his partner, his friend and a business

• 42:12Adam Sosnick?

  partner, is an Israeli Navy SEAL. And they start talking about terrorism and deterrence of terrorists. And the Israeli guy with the thick accents, he's like, "You have to have a deterrence for the terrorists. The deterrence for the terrorists." And then it got, it got so convoluted, you're saying the same word. It's like, "The terrorists, the deterrence, the deterrence of the terrorists." And he goes, "That's what it comes down to. They only understand strength. Unless you don't hit them hard, they're not gonna stop." So Israel's on the front lines of Western civilization. That's what it comes down to. We are so lucky to be in America, debating, "What should we do? What should we do with Iran? I don't know, but I'm gonna go to dinner tonight."

• 42:56Adam Sosnick?

  I have friends in Israel that are living in bunkers and have to hide in bunkers. Imagine, just for a second, forget if you're pro-Israel or not, imagine, you're in New York, you're in LA, you're in Miami, in Chicago, every two hours of your life, you have to run into a bunker. A bomb shelter because Iran, the IRGC, is trying to bomb civilians. One thing I know that Israel is great at is taking out terrorists, pinpointing, US taking out IRGC, they're just trying to take out everybody they can.

• 43:27Speaker 01

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' healthcare to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side.

• 44:27Adam Sosnick?

  In a blaze of glory.

• 44:29Speaker 04

  Okay, let me ask you this specific question, because this infuriates me. We've been witnessing the rise of antisemitism worldwide. We see it in the halls of Congress, we see it on college campuses, we see it in the podcast space. And it's loud, and it gets louder. Here's my question for anybody that is angry, for example, all these people that were protesting, you know, Gaza and what happens, you know, to the people in Gaza, excuse me, they're the ones that voted in Hamas in the first place. But here's my point. Israel has a population of under 10 million people. What do we have, 365 million Americans, around that of our population? So extrapolate out...

• 45:14Speaker 04

  Their population versus ours, compare it to October 7th. That's the equivalent of over 40,000 dead Americans in a day. For all those people that said, "Oh, Israel shouldn't fight back." What would you want America to do? If America had the equivalent of 40,000 dead Americans? My answer? Obliterate the living daylights out of them. Destroy them. And Israel goes to do it, and then antisemitism rises. Explain that.

• 45:42Adam Sosnick?

  Well, antisemitism is not a new thing. Jews, I'm Jewish, we've been dealing with it forever.

• 45:47Speaker 04

  Not like this. This is bad.

• 45:49Adam Sosnick?

  Of course. So, the great Thomas Sowell had the quote, you know, "What's your cure for antisemitism?" He had this interview, and he goes, "Yeah, it's pretty simple. Lose. Fail." You know, because here's the reality. Losers hate winners. In any capacity. Why do people all around the world hate America? Because we're winners, baby. Why do the Middle Eastern countries, not the Gulf states, you see UAE defending, you see Bahrain defending Israel and America? Why do the terrorists around them? It's because they're losers. They've been praying to, in my opinion, a false prophet, no offense. And they've been saying, "When are you gonna bring me the success that I want in life?

• 46:34Adam Sosnick?

  When are you gonna bring me everything that I've been praying for?" Look at Israel, they've been around for, how long? 75 years? Why do they have all this money? Ah, they must be, they must be, they run the rule. They run the, of course, what's it going to? So, losers hate winners.

• 46:47Speaker 04

  Doesn't that piss you off, what he just said? Because people do believe that.

• 46:51Adam Sosnick?

  It terribly pisses me off. I mean, you have people out there that say, "Oh, you know, Israel's lobbying and manipulating, and AIPAC has lobbyists assigned to every senator." Well, so does the pharmaceutical industry, and I think they're probably funded better than AIPAC. I look at it, and I see this, and I'm stunned and I'm pissed off. When I see the students, you know, just walking across campus and being harassed, and these, you know, protests that were going on against them, that were, you know, you talk about...

• 47:30Tom Ellsworth?

  The liberalism on college campus, "Oh, we don't want racism. We don't want racism." And then you, you basically, you, you act as racist yourself against these students who are walking out there. And it infuriates me. And when you had the, um, the three schools that were in the, um, the hearing. Harvard, Columbia.

• 47:48Adam Sosnick?

  MIT, I believe.

• 47:49Tom Ellsworth?

  MIT. And they're all there, "What are you doing about it?" I, they, they wouldn't say it. They wouldn't say it. They wouldn't say antisemitism. They wouldn't answer the question. And I think two of the three presidents lost their job and one of them was like reassigned or something. She went back to run the law school. And, and I look at that and I'm like, "Are we out of our mind? Are we literally out of our mind? Regardless of what you feel about Israel, whether they are or aren't, you know, lobbying in this. Just set that aside for a second and look at the people around the world and look what's going on. Ask yourself a question, "Where's this coming from and why is this here?" And then these Jewish students can't walk across campus without being harassed or physically accosted or worse? Really? And, and the schools just let it happen?

• 48:33Tom Ellsworth?

  That's the issue for me. Why do they sit back and just let that happen? And I, I don't get it.

• 48:39Speaker 04

  You said something that I think dovetails right into what you're suggesting. What culture teaches their children to strap on bombs and that if you go kill innocent men, women and children, that Allah's gonna reward you with 72 virgins? I'm sorry, I'm, I'm not putting a bomb on my kids and saying, "Go kill innocent men, women and children."

• 49:05Speaker 05

  But what a sales, like what a sales pitch, and I, I want to respond to what you were talking about earlier. What a pitch to sell to someone if you kill you, kill everybody else, virgins in heaven. I, I, I can't wrap my mind about somebody going, "Oh, okay, I'm all in." But when we're talking about the racism, Sean, I genuinely and truly believe in my heart of hearts, racism in any form, any form, against Jews, blacks, Assyrian, Middle Eastern, white, anybody. It comes from ignorant, ignorance and not having Jesus Christ in your life. Plain and simple. God taught us the two main things. Love me with all your mind, heart, soul and spirit and love your neighbor. Stop right there.

• 49:47Speaker 05

  Everybody's life in this entire world would be so much better if people live by those two principles. On the same side, I'll flip the coin. When it comes to the antisemitism and the rise of it, I think a big part of it comes from, Sean, this is my opinion. When Israel, obviously, and Tom, you mentioned it, Israel has influence. Okay, check, they got it. Bibi Netanyahu comes to the White House seven times more than any president ever in less than a year. Check, yes, I understand that. I, let, let, let's put that to the side. If you're not able to criticize the government, which by the way, Sean, we, we're sitting here criticizing the government. I do it all the time. I left the military because of our, our actions post nine 11. I think it's when you can't criticize the government of Israel.

• 50:31Speaker 05

  That's when people get pissed off and then they just lump all that hate, Sean, into it's the Jews. Okay, I think people should be allowed to be like, hey, you know what? Israel did that and Israel should come clean and be like, yeah, we did it. Like you mentioned, Israel, uh, earlier Gaza, 70,000 people dead, 20,000 children, women and children. You should at least be like, okay, it was, we, it was bad, but it's just, nope. Hamas is everywhere. If you look at a photo right now of Gaza, it is flat. There is nothing, there is nothing because we were told Hamas was underneath there. Okay, and I, I understand that. I think that there's a people, there's that line, Sean, where people go, you know, okay, Israel's doing this. And, and then it bleeds into it's all Jews and hate all Jews.

• 51:13Speaker 05

  I am anti any student trying to go to a class and you get harassed or punched by somebody because you're Jewish. You belong in prison, period.

• 51:22Speaker 04

  I, I've been in those terror tunnels. I've been in a, I was in, I've been in Israel a number of times. I've known Bibi for 30 years too. And there's a border town called Shterot. And it's, you can see Gaza with the naked eye. And when you go to that town, I went to the local police station. And they had recovered over 10,000 rockets fired into one town in a 10 year period of time. Kids can't play outside, they can't get Vitamin D. I like to play outside. I like to get some sun, right? We all like some sun. It's good for your kids. No, they play in underground bunker playgrounds. It's not just tunnels. It was all the money that was given to the people in Gaza, the Palestinians,

• 52:05Speaker 04

  for schools and hospitals and infrastructure was spent to build out terror to kill the Jews.

• 52:11Adam Sosnick?

  Um, the, um, I'm gonna, oh. Look, let's get real here. Nobody wants war. Nobody wakes up, has their breakfast, their cereal, their coffee, and that's like, let's go kill people today.

• 52:22Speaker 04

  Well, actually, there's something to do.

• 52:23Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly. There's, I'm saying, in our minds.

• 52:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 52:26Adam Sosnick?

  In that world.

• 52:27Speaker 04

  Right.

• 52:28Adam Sosnick?

  That's rewarded. That's where you find paradise. You know, and I don't want to spend a lot of time on Gaza. What happened in Gaza is, is obviously ugly and messy, and it sucks. But I'm also old enough to remember when they were calling.

• 52:39Speaker 04

  You're so old.

• 52:39Adam Sosnick?

  A genocide on the second day when a hundred people, hundred terrorists were killed. They've been calling genocide.

• 52:47Speaker 04

  I was just about to say, what's your point?

• 52:48Adam Sosnick?

  Since October 9th. So, you know, you want to talk about, um, credit. A hundred people dead, genocide. The Iran regime just murdered thirty to fifty thousand of their people? Shh, be quiet. Don't let anybody know. Let's just, let's keep that under wraps. But God forbid it happens in Gaza. Obviously, no Jews, no Jews. But I want to address one thing when you said they're criticizing Israel. You know who criticizes Israel the most?

• 53:12Speaker 04

  Who?

• 53:12Adam Sosnick?

  Israelis. Because it's a democracy. And we have sort of a rudimentary thought of, you can't criticize Israel, you can't criticize Israel. Americans should take a book out of Israelis' book. Because half of Israelis hate Bibi, just like half of Americans hate Trump. So we have to understand in America, antisemitism is real. I stopped, I don't even like the word antisemitism. Jew hate. People, it's ingrained. There's fifty Arab Muslim countries in the world. There's one Jewish state. Why does the Jews get the state? Why do you get fifty states? There's how many Christian countries? So I'm not, I, I think the bottom line for me is this, what I've learned as a Jewish person, who's friends, eighty percent of my friends are Christian, or, or, you know, not Jewish.

• 53:56Adam Sosnick?

  I, I think Israel, in my humble opinion, is done trying to be liked. And trying to be the country in the nice PG-13 movie. Hey, guys, let's be friends. Let's all, let's all be good. No, they want respect. And if they're gonna, you're gonna learn the one way or another, you're gonna respect the winner. And look what they're doing now. They're winning everything.

• 54:17Speaker 04

  Don't you see that it's Christians, they're the biggest supporters of Israel?

• 54:23Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, of course.

• 54:24Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 54:24Adam Sosnick?

  The best people I meet are Christians.

• 54:26Speaker 05

  A lot of evangelical Christians are 100% like Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham is, is he, hold on, is Lindsey Graham a Christian?

• 54:35Speaker 04

  So is Vinnie and so is Sean Hannity and so is Thomas.

• 54:37Speaker 05

  Yeah, I mean, yeah, but what I'm saying is like evangelical Christians are 100% all in for Israel.

• 54:43Adam Sosnick?

  To my opinion, there's two reasons for this. There's the biblical prophecy. I get that. I'm not even going there. I'm just looking at the reality on the ground. One country is basically saying, we love America. We're your friend. We're your ally. We're here for you. Maybe we negotiate a little bit stronger than you would like us to, because if you've ever been to the Middle East, it's a negotiation. The other side is shouting death to America. They're burning the flag. They're fighting wars against you. You take your pick. Are you scared that Zionism is taking over America? Or radical Islam taking over America? If you trust one poll from Turning Point, they said, what's the number one threat to America?

• 55:22Adam Sosnick?

  Radical Islam. You know, Rabbi Mordechai isn't coming in to your house to gun you down or blow up a bomb. Last point, you see what J.D. Vance just said? J.D. Vance just said that he fears not a suicide bomb, a nuclear suicide bomb. Do we have that clip?

• 55:40Speaker 05

  Yep, here it is.

• 55:42Speaker 07

  When I say options, I think it's important the American people know, options for what? And it's options to ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon. You talk about people who walk into a crowded supermarket and have a vest on, and they blow up the vest and a couple of people get killed, and that's a terrible tragedy. What happens when what's on the vest is not something that can kill a couple of people, but can kill many, many tens of thousands of people. That is the most important American national security objective that exists for any administration at any time, is you don't want the worst people in the world to have a nuclear weapon. That's why the president is doing this. That's why the president cares so much about this particular issue.

• 56:20Adam Sosnick?

  And Americans aren't stupid. I'll give you three different options, you let me.

• 56:23Speaker 05

  Some of them, Adam.

• 56:24Adam Sosnick?

  Some are.

• 56:25Speaker 05

  Majority of some Americans are pretty.

• 56:26Adam Sosnick?

  You're in a crowded room.

• 56:27Speaker 05

  My neighbor.

• 56:28Adam Sosnick?

  You hear someone.

• 56:29Speaker 05

  Idiot, I'm sorry.

• 56:30Adam Sosnick?

  You hear.

• 56:31Speaker 04

  Which neighbor are you talking about?

• 56:33Adam Sosnick?

  Don't talk about Tom like that. You're in a crowded room. You're in a crowded park. You hear someone yell, "Jesus is king." What do you do?

• 56:42Speaker 05

  You go running towards him and I'm gonna hug him.

• 56:43Adam Sosnick?

  Hey, how you doing? You hear someone yell, "Baruch Hashem, bless the Lord."

• 56:47Speaker 05

  I'm gonna give him a napkin.

• 56:48Adam Sosnick?

  Hey, how you doing? How you sneezing? You hear someone yell, "Allahu Akbar."

• 56:52Speaker 05

  I'm running.

• 56:53Adam Sosnick?

  You're hitting the deck, buddy. That's the difference. And I'm not saying that all Muslims are terrorists at all. But there is a little bit of a coincidence that most terrorists are Islamists.

• 57:06Speaker 04

  I didn't think we'd spend this much time on the topic and you probably just probably want to move on. But I want to bring up one other point.

• 57:12Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 57:12Speaker 04

  If it's acceptable for you guys.

• 57:14Adam Sosnick?

  Your show, Sean. Sean Hannity Show.

• 57:15Speaker 04

  No, this is PBD. It's PBD. He's back. I'll never be here again. I promise you.

• 57:21Adam Sosnick?

  No, no, don't say that.

• 57:23Speaker 04

  Well, first of all, I'm, thank you. I'm really enjoying this. You guys are so wickedly smart. It's fun to talk to y'all. And these are important discussions for the country. They really are. And we got to get these things right. You talked about, you know, we lost 13 guys. We had 300 injured. I don't want any American hurt.

• 57:41Speaker 05

  I want zero, but it's, that's small compared to what's going on.

• 57:45Speaker 04

  Even Bret Stephens in the New York Times, who hates my guts and hates, you know.

• 57:49Adam Sosnick?

  Really?

• 57:49Speaker 04

  Oh, hates Trump. I mean, he had a really good column this week. I don't know if you read it.

• 57:53Adam Sosnick?

  New York Times?

• 57:54Speaker 04

  New York Times.

• 57:55Adam Sosnick?

  You think I'm reading the New York freaking failing Times?

• 57:59Speaker 04

  I don't. But the point.

• 58:01Adam Sosnick?

  I do like Bret Stephens. I think he's pretty.

• 58:03Speaker 04

  So I went with the president on the golf trip. We went to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I wouldn't move there. Went to Qatar or Qatar, to prefer how you pronounce it. Wouldn't move there either.

• 58:15Speaker 05

  You wouldn't buy a house there because you're American?

• 58:17Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, I'm American. Hey, that's a low blow, Tom. That's my job.

• 58:22Speaker 04

  Took me a second.

• 58:23Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 58:23Speaker 04

  No, I have no interest.

• 58:25Adam Sosnick?

  We're not going there.

• 58:27Speaker 04

  Honestly, but it's very different. But it was also interesting. I learned a lot when I was there, met the people, no issues. Here, there's something happening that the people in the Mideast, they were as happy as the Israelis, because what happened in Trump's first term never got discussed a lot, which was, he had built a coalition of nations, US, Israel, Saudis, Egyptians, Jordanians, we all came together, all intelligence sharing. It didn't get a lot of press. So, taking it to the next level, and being on Air Force One, and being with the President, I'm not

• 59:10Speaker 04

  dropping names, I was invited to be a guest, I went, I covered it, it was great, it was a wonderful life opportunity, I'm never going back to any one of those countries.

• 59:18Speaker 05

  Not now.

• 59:19Speaker 04

  Not now, probably. But here's my point, those relationships are solidifying. Now, if I had to write the perfect ending to Epic Fury, it's gonna be that the Abraham Accords, on steroids, the Saudis recognize Israel, all of those Gulf nations and Mideastern countries, all come to peace in the region, and we have a peace we haven't seen in a thousand years. Simultaneously, I'm looking at Great Britain, I'm looking at France, I'm looking at Spain, I'm looking at NATO. And what do I see? They've had unfettered immigration, without assimilation,

• 1:00:03Speaker 04

  for decades, and that resulted in, what, there's 85, 87 Sharia courts in Great Britain, that has resulted in no-go zones in France and other European countries, that has resulted, they've adopted climate alarmism, they've adopted socialism, they have neglected building up their national security, they have failed spectacularly. NATO's nothing without us. You know, we pay more than all of those countries combined, and what we realized and learned here, is I think we have more support from Gulf nations, Mideastern countries, than we ever had, and so little support from the people that were supposed to be there, that

• 1:00:45Speaker 04

  we thought would be there, that we were relying on being there. And that, you know, I used the term earlier with Thomas, that infuriates me.

• 1:00:55Speaker 04

  Because as far as I'm concerned, if they didn't come and they wouldn't, they get more oil from the Strait of Hormuz than we do. They couldn't send some Navy blockade support? Wow.

• 1:01:08Tom Ellsworth?

  With friends like these, right?

• 1:01:10Speaker 04

  Wow. Alright, well, so how does that play out? I would not be surprised if Donald Trump told them to go pound sand, meaning NATO.

• 1:01:18Speaker 01

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' healthcare to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the HouseMajorityPact.com.

• 1:02:02Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, so what do you think's gonna happen with that? You were in Air Force One, what was the conversation like?

• 1:02:08Speaker 04

  No, what I saw was all of these Gulf nations, when Donald Trump left there, I think there was something between $6 and $8 trillion in manufacturing monies committed to this country. Because they like Trump. They did not want a nuclear-armed Iran, they did not want Iranian hegemony in the region. So, Thomas, I see your brain is swirling over there.

• 1:02:33Tom Ellsworth?

  No, you're so correct. And my favorite NATO moment this year was actually at Davos. And it was, um, uh, the guy from Finland. And he says, "Oh, no, no, I..."

• 1:02:47Speaker 04

  Was it Stub, right?

• 1:02:48Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, he says, "I misspoke, we actually need the Americans in NATO." Because he had said moments before, a few minutes before, and this conversation came back around him, it was, "Oh, you know, I don't know if you need Americans, or I don't know if you need Americans." And then you look at the position of Finland, up north there, very close To Russia like next door and then he comes just minutes later and said, no, no, I didn't say that. We need America. So you you see it there. And when we just asked them to pay their fair share. If they didn't want any support, they didn't want any, you know, security out of it, they would say, well, okay. If if you're not going to pay for it, I guess I won't do it. No, that's not what they said. They said, we're going to figure out how to pay for it. And you had the rise in Germany of, uh, what's the party?

• 1:03:33Tom Ellsworth?

  AFD, the rise of AFD party where conservatives are saying, wait a minute. Immigration for skilled labor and people that want to work here under controlled immigration is okay. All of this people that have come in here, this is lunacy, leaving NATO or not paying your fair share. And and being vulnerable, that's lunacy. So you're starting to see inside these countries, things come up. And that's encouraging to me. Finland was encouraging me to Davos, even though he embarrassed himself. And AFD party has been encouraging to me. What's not encouraging to me, was it, um, was it France that? Turned on and off airspace last week, couldn't fly in the airspace?

• 1:04:11Speaker 04

  Well, Starmer is like Neville Chamberlain to me. Macron is weak and pathetic to me. Spain was absolutely despicable to us, uh, in this process. Now, they came in late. But too little, too late when it, they didn't come in when it mattered. And how do we have an alliance with people that are not reliable?

• 1:04:32Tom Ellsworth?

  I I agree with that. I mean, and what I'm encouraged by is, um, look.

• 1:04:40Tom Ellsworth?

  They won't look at history. They won't look at what happened in Greece. Was it 17, 18 years ago, the austerity? Hey, you don't get to retire at age 62, you have to retire at age 67. And by the way, you don't get this much retirement benefits. You get this much retirement benefits. And this riots and protests broke out. People flipped out. But that was showing that socialism didn't work and Greece had reached the end of the budget. I'm hoping that this next generation that we are seeing coming up in these countries is coming up with some common sense. But I don't count on it, but I I I see AFD.

• 1:05:14Adam Sosnick?

  and things and I my my hope remains high meanwhile today we need their leaders to drive and what I fear is happening um but I'm glad that some of the outcome is they do this first and I think behind the scenes Trump and Whitkoff and Rubio are getting it done because they come back around on it a little bit not enthusiastically and I can't depend on them on day one but I feel like we're we're negotiating them to at least come around sensibly um but I wish I wish it was like a fire extinguisher that you grab it off the wall and it works

• 1:05:50Speaker 04

  what do we do they've neglected defense you have no-go zones in parts of Europe you have Sharia courts in Great Britain their their culture has shifted dramatically they've neglected defense socialism for decades climate alarmism for decades I don't know I think they're on I think they're on a spiral

• 1:06:15Adam Sosnick?

  I think there's a simple explanation for this and it's that that age-old parable that you know uh hard times create strong men strong men create good times and good times create weak men we're living in the weak men of Europe phase and you know Tale of Two Cities Europe being incredibly weak right now but on the flip side look how strong some of these Gulf states are

• 1:06:37Speaker 04

  yeah

• 1:06:37Adam Sosnick?

  right so I was reading this uh uh someone said who do you think wrote this who do you think said this I said alright what he goes we further condemn the destabilizing acts and activities of the Iranian regime uh planned by these sleeper cells loyal to Iran and terrorist organizations like Hezbollah we play we we praise our brave armed forces confronting these attacks we will stay vigilant we will preserve safety in the nations of our region and apprehend the agent terror cells exposing these malicious plots who do you think wrote that you would assume Israel obviously no there was a joint statement by the UAE Kuwait Bahrain and Saudi Arabia so the Middle East gets it because here's here's the final point and this was a I learned this from the raging Cajun James Carville he goes what

• 1:07:22Adam Sosnick?

  what didn't you like about the Clinton years the peace of the prosperity so now that guy's completely lost his mind that's a whole nother topic

• 1:07:28Speaker 04

  by the way how great has the clips of James Carville

• 1:07:31Adam Sosnick?

  oh man he's been insane

• 1:07:32Speaker 04

  come on

• 1:07:33Adam Sosnick?

  he's been absolutely insane

• 1:07:34Speaker 04

  very entertaining

• 1:07:34Adam Sosnick?

  but he's right about one thing most countries

• 1:07:37Speaker 04

  yeah

• 1:07:37Adam Sosnick?

  want those two things peace and prosperity most people Want, you know, wealth and happiness, peace and prosperity. That's not what Iran wants. Iran wants, you know, their, their, their, their, to meet Allah and, and, and that's just who they are. And how do you talk someone out of that?

• 1:07:55Speaker 05

  Well, Sean, because-

• 1:07:56Adam Sosnick?

  The, the strength that's coming from the Gulf states is admirable and the weakness that's coming from the EU is indefensible.

• 1:08:04Speaker 04

  How this plays out, I think it's gonna be interesting.

• 1:08:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, Sean, I, I wanna play a clip. There's a, like, when people tell you who they are, believe them the first idea. My Angelo said, said the quote, I don't know it exactly. This is an Islamic Iman and he's, he's explaining how they want to take over. Yeah, Sean, I definitely want you to put, you have to hear this.

• 1:08:19Speaker 04

  I gotta hear this.

• 1:08:20Speaker 05

  How they're going to take over America. Rob, you could play that like 1.25. This is just, listen, we have to hold everybody accountable with anything.

• 1:08:27Speaker 04

  I know, it's gonna take me a minute.

• 1:08:28Speaker 05

  No, it's all good.

• 1:08:29Adam Sosnick?

  Don't walk off, Sean.

• 1:08:30Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's it. Sean doesn't wanna see the, the Muslim guy taking, they're, they're gonna take over America.

• 1:08:35Speaker 04

  They got a heart in the wheel.

• 1:08:36Speaker 05

  He said, this guy is saying that there's gonna be a big change coming to America and I just want you to know what the plan is. And, Rob, can you please play this clip?

• 1:08:44Speaker 04

  One day you're gonna be the president of the United States of America. No one, only my Galani, who can stop you from becoming a president. Dream big, have a vision. Because if Barack Hussein Obama can be a president, so here Jawad cannot be a president?

• 1:08:55Speaker 05

  Muslim, Muslim guy?

• 1:08:56Speaker 04

  He's gonna be a president. He's talking about that the, the Muslims will take over Makkah. They used to laugh at him. What happened? Where is Makkah now? Where is it? It's coming.

• 1:09:06Speaker 05

  It's coming.

• 1:09:06Speaker 04

  Change is coming to America. And what is Allah telling us? Kuntum khairu ummatin, you are the best of nations. You're better than everybody else. That's what Allah is saying. Let's work towards that. Let's work towards a Muslim mayor. Next election that comes in, nominate people for the school board of education. Next election that comes here, nominate people for the local township. Begin, the demographics change. People converted. There's a big, huge conversion going on in this country. Where are the converts? They just convert and they're gone, in the wilderness. The other thing, children. Muslims have the highest population. Average, they did this, Pew Foundation did this research study, Pew Foundation, and they said that Muslim household average is 3.4 child per family. The white American has one child per family. We're already beating the march. Because these are voters. These are not just babies being born in hospitals. These are voters. That's the way a politician looks at it.

• 1:09:51Speaker 04

  We have to change the framework, start looking at things from a different lens, different angle. For future, you're not gonna change society today in your lifetime, but you think about your grandchildren.

• 1:10:00Speaker 05

  That's so, so think about like, think about what he's saying. Mayor Muslim happened, happening in New York. Kicking out all the people that are making money and shit and they're gonna start importing his own people. Sean, and then think about it, the pressure, the kids, they're laying it out in front of your face. And Pat made a really, really good point. It's not gonna happen overnight, Sean. It's not gonna be my kids, it's not gonna be Adam's kids. But their kids' kids, it's going to be happening like you said with what's happening in Europe. They're done, Sean, they're done over there. Europe is, is cooked.

• 1:10:28Speaker 04

  I hate to tell you, I, I came to the same conclusion. I think they're done.

• 1:10:32Speaker 05

  They're done. And, and then, by the way, they don't want to say anything negative about the Muslim community. Think about the, the Pakistani rape gangs, Sean. They were raping all these young girls. They basically ruled that they don't even want to give them airtime. They don't want to pursue it. Because they're gonna think like racism is gonna come on the ride. Islamophobia is gonna come on the rise in UK. Wait, what, what? So you mean to tell me all these girls, all these victims that were raped by all these men? They're not gonna pursue it because Muslims are gonna get a bad look in the UK? Think about that mentality of God forbid, your daughter was one of these victims? And the government saying, no, we're not gonna go out.

• 1:11:08Speaker 04

  We, we believe in this country was founded on the idea, the notion of freedom of religion. I'm all for it. And do whatever you want. Here's the problem. I look at Mehmedani, I look at what his wife has said. I look at the things he said. I look at the people that he's hired and the people that they've said.

• 1:11:24Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 1:11:25Speaker 04

  And wow, you can hardly say anything about it. And, and so many people just overlooked it.

• 1:11:31Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm. Yep.

• 1:11:32Speaker 04

  That's a little frightening.

• 1:11:33Speaker 05

  Hundred percent.

• 1:11:34Adam Sosnick?

  To me, I'm sorry.

• 1:11:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, go ahead.

• 1:11:36Adam Sosnick?

  Look, this is gonna be something that we're gonna be dealing with for a while. And, and it sounds like we're being so completely anti-Muslim.

• 1:11:42Speaker 04

  No, we're not.

• 1:11:42Speaker 05

  No, I'm not being racist. I'm just telling you, I'm telling you exactly what the guy just said on, on camera.

• 1:11:46Adam Sosnick?

  Don't attack me. Some of my closest friends are Arabs.

• 1:11:50Speaker 04

  Go ahead, tell them. What's your point?

• 1:11:51Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah. Some of my closest friends are Arabs.

• 1:11:55Speaker 04

  Robert loves that.

• 1:11:56Adam Sosnick?

  Saudis, okay, Qataris. I get along with these guys. Here's what I would say. Bring your culture here. I love it. Have some halal, have some food. You know, one of my favorite night time spots in Miami is a Middle Eastern Arab place. I love it. You smoke the hookah. I love the culture. By the way, when I go to Israel, 20% of the citizens in Israel are Muslim. They're Arabs.

• 1:12:21Speaker 04

  They're Arabs.

• 1:12:22Adam Sosnick?

  You can coexist. Here's the catch, though.

• 1:12:25Speaker 04

  Go ahead.

• 1:12:25Adam Sosnick?

  You can bring your culture, you can bring religion. You cannot bring your politics to the United States. And I'll tell you why. Because you can't even bring your politics to the Middle East. What countries in the Middle East can you vote?

• 1:12:37Speaker 04

  Zero.

• 1:12:38Adam Sosnick?

  It's either a theocracy or a autocracy.

• 1:12:42Speaker 04

  But there is some modernization.

• 1:12:44Adam Sosnick?

  A little bit. You can't vote when there's a king.

• 1:12:48Speaker 05

  But you can't go to one of those places and be a Christian mayor or whatever the hell they have.

• 1:12:52Adam Sosnick?

  Imagine this guy saying, "Dream big. Good for you. You should. You live in America. Anyone can become whatever they want." No Christian goes to Qatar and goes, "Dream big. One day you're going to be the emperor of Qatar." It's not happening.

• 1:13:05Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:13:06Adam Sosnick?

  So bring your culture, be our friends, be here, assimilate. Political Sharia law is not happening in America. It might happen in Europe.

• 1:13:16Speaker 05

  Wait, it's not happening?

• 1:13:16Adam Sosnick?

  But we got guns.

• 1:13:17Speaker 05

  You hope at them, but listen, and Sean, this is my opinion. As a Christian nation, there shouldn't be a Muslim mayor. They shouldn't be a Muslim president. I'm sorry. You notice how, hold on. He said it. I didn't say it. When he said, "We've already had Barack Hussein Obama." He's basically saying proudly that they've already had a Muslim president.

• 1:13:32Adam Sosnick?

  Is that what he meant?

• 1:13:33Speaker 05

  Well, why would he say Barack Hussein Obama was?

• 1:13:35Speaker 04

  But in fairness, I spent a lot of time investigating Obama.

• 1:13:40Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:13:40Speaker 04

  He did go to the church of Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

• 1:13:43Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:43Speaker 04

  The Sunday after 9/11. "No, no, no. Not God bless America, G D America. It's in the Bible. G D America."

• 1:13:52Adam Sosnick?

  Really?

• 1:13:52Speaker 04

  The Sunday after 9/11.

• 1:13:55Adam Sosnick?

  Who said that? Jeremiah Wright?

• 1:13:57Speaker 04

  Reverend Wright.

• 1:13:57Adam Sosnick?

  In Chicago?

• 1:13:58Speaker 04

  Who's the pastor of Barack Obama.

• 1:14:01Tom Ellsworth?

  And he said after nine eleven?

• 1:14:03Speaker 04

  The Sunday after nine eleven, two thousand nine hundred seventy seven dead Americans, many more since nine eleven related illness. He said, no, no, no, not God bless America, GD America, it's in the Bible.

• 1:14:18Tom Ellsworth?

  What do you mean it's in the Bible?

• 1:14:19Speaker 04

  Can you pull that, Robert, could you find that?

• 1:14:21Tom Ellsworth?

  But this is a Christian church?

• 1:14:23Speaker 04

  Christian church. So I, back in the, so I did an entire investigation of Obama and his radical associations. Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Weather Underground, Alinsky, community organizing, Frank Marshall Davis, Thomas is nodding his head, obviously. If you can find the GD America.

• 1:14:42Tom Ellsworth?

  I remember you covering this literally on Fox.

• 1:14:44Speaker 04

  Oh, I played it on stop.

• 1:14:46Tom Ellsworth?

  Two thousand seven, two thousand eight.

• 1:14:47Speaker 05

  American sermon to justify nine eleven. I, I saw, I don't know where it is in the clip, but like, I mean, are we, are you surprised? And again, I'm not judging him. I don't care in the sense that he could practice whatever he wants, but I've never met a Barack Hussein Obama, that's a Christian. Come on, give me a break.

• 1:15:04Speaker 04

  Great job, Robert. God does not lie. Where governments change, God does not change. And I'm through now, but let me leave you with one more thing. Governments fail. I don't think this is two thousand one.

• 1:15:20Tom Ellsworth?

  That's two thousand three.

• 1:15:21Speaker 04

  That's two thousand three.

• 1:15:22Tom Ellsworth?

  But he said it. And this was the church that Obama would go to, because obviously Obama, you know, run for president two thousand, two thousand eight.

• 1:15:32Speaker 05

  However.

• 1:15:33Tom Ellsworth?

  You're saying these are comments he made well before. If W, if W had these associations, what do you think the news media would have said about it? If W had these associations? My, my gosh. And instead, they, they, they cover it because the globalist and the reordering of America was at the, is, was at the top of the agenda for the liberals that were running liberal media and the liberals that were part of it. And so they, they went with it. Well, Saul Alinsky's okay because, you know, overthrow the man, this guy's okay, this is, and, and you look at the, you, you, basically, you can tell Obama's position by his college curriculum and you just go, look at these professors that were his mentors.

• 1:16:17Tom Ellsworth?

  And then you ask yourself a question, are you surprised that what he took action on, what he took inaction on? Are you surprised? Yep, I'm not.

• 1:16:26Adam Sosnick?

  I have a que-- did we find that clip? I have a question for Hannity. So, you've been in the media since 87.

• 1:16:32Speaker 04

  400 years.

• 1:16:33Adam Sosnick?

  400 years old, still got great hair. I've seen one thing that I don't recognize, you know, in my 40-plus years on life. I don't remember candidates, especially specifically on the left, running as straight-up socialists.

• 1:16:50Speaker 04

  Straight up.

• 1:16:50Adam Sosnick?

  I'm running as a socialist, get behind me. It used to be a thing, hey, don't tell anybody I'm actually a communist socialist, let's keep it on the down-low. Now they're running on that platform. Was that going on 50 years ago, 40 years ago?

• 1:17:04Speaker 04

  You go through cycles, it's kinda like, they gotta learn their lesson. You go through Walter Mondale, then you go to Bill Clinton, who took a more middle-of-the-road approach, and then after Hillary Care failed, he followed Dick Morris's advice and he triangulated. And, remember he said famously, "The Arab big government is over, the end of welfare as we know it," all of those things.

• 1:17:29Speaker 04

  But, we gotta understand one other thing, and maybe this is a good way to kinda dovetail onto another topic. Legacy media is corrupt. You wanna know why PBD is so successful? And all these podcasts are successful, and talk radio, in spite of people proclaiming it's dead, not even close. I'm on 760 stations every day, and Sirius XM, and I'm on Fox, and Fox is crushing it, I'm honored to be there, I love being there, and now I'm doing this podcast. Why are people turning off legacy media? Because, I'll give you three examples, I brought them with me. This is The Economist, this is their cover.

• 1:18:13Speaker 04

  Advantage Iran. At this point in time. Okay, then you've got Foreign Policy saying, "Why US victory in Iran would be bad for Washington and bad for the world." Then you have Politico. "Thought Iraq was a blunder, Iran is far worse." Why do they root against our country? Whether you agreed with Operation Midnight Hammer, this Epic Fury, or not. When American treasure's in harm's way.

• 1:18:46Speaker 04

  For crying out loud, can you just hope, even if you disagree, that it works?

• 1:18:54Speaker 05

  It's almost as if cheering against America has gotten cool. Cheering, and I really do think, Sean, Donald Trump came in and ruined their, he ruined their, something happened, it's beyond TDS, where it was like, you know what, to hell with him, and I'm gonna turn it, and burning the flag is cool, and talking crap about our soldiers is cool, and to hell with the system, and trying to burn down the system. It made, it made it trending to hate the greatest country in the history of the world. I'm talking about, Sean, Rome and all that, and its greatness, and Assyria, the empire, 700 years. Nothing beats this country. Talk as much as you want, talk about all the influences, talk about everything.

• 1:19:34Speaker 05

  Name me a better place. Go ahead, go ahead. You could pick up this phone right now, I could order food, plane tickets, this, do a homework paper, everything, just, and this is the greatest place, and it all started here, and it's all in this country. It's cool, like, hey, like, F America, yeah, man, and they get together in these groups, and they think it's cool. They think going on these campuses and bashing this country, yes, you could criticize, which I said earlier, criticize, yes. And this is the thing too, when it comes to politics, Sean, they think everything has to be perfect. They expect this guy, they expect the president to be absolutely perfect, perfect. One mistake, and it's turned on him. How, what was the first one you said? Advantage Iran? What are you talking about? Advantage what? What is that? They're hanging on by a thread.

• 1:20:17Speaker 04

  They're corrupt.

• 1:20:18Adam Sosnick?

  You brought up the media, and I think you're the perfect person to have this discussion.

• 1:20:24Speaker 04

  I'm not them, I hope.

• 1:20:25Adam Sosnick?

  No, you're not, you're not, but to me, it comes down to a couple of different things. Why does the mainstream media essentially root against America? Here's my philosophy. Number one, a lot of these people are detached. They're in their ivory towers, whether in New York, whether they're in Boston, whether they're in LA, San Francisco, and they're not, you know, flyover country. They don't have family or friends that are serving in the military. They don't know, so they can just sort of like pontificate from their, from their soapbox. That's number one. Number two, undeniably, patriotism is almost at an all-time low right now. Rob, I don't know if you have that, our shared values are at all-time low, whether it's family, whether it's community. Patriotism, all-time low. I go around with an American flag everywhere

• 1:21:10Adam Sosnick?

  I go. Vinny says to me that, he goes, "Wow, like you just got out the shower with the American flag." I don't mess around, bro.

• 1:21:16Speaker 04

  I wear it every night.

• 1:21:17Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly. And then here's the kicker, we all know this. Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing.

• 1:21:24Speaker 04

  Be cured.

• 1:21:25Adam Sosnick?

  It's a real thing. People hate Trump so much. If Trump goes, "Hey, I got you, I want you guys to save money." People would go, "Oh, you want me to save that money? Here's my wallet, I'm gonna burn it on fire. Don't tell me what to do."

• 1:21:39Speaker 04

  Be cured.

• 1:21:39Adam Sosnick?

  Cancer.

• 1:21:40Speaker 05

  Wait, what, do you guys remember when he was telling, like, they came out and said, RFK said, "If you're pregnant, don't take Tylenol." They're like, "Oh, yeah?"

• 1:21:47Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:21:48Speaker 05

  While they're pregnant.

• 1:21:49Adam Sosnick?

  Tylenol for dinner, buddy.

• 1:21:50Speaker 05

  Yeah, oh, my god.

• 1:21:51Adam Sosnick?

  At the end of the day, we have it so good here in America.

• 1:21:54Speaker 04

  We do.

• 1:21:55Adam Sosnick?

  We have it so good. You said you traveled to the other side of the world, you have no interest in going back there. I've traveled, you've traveled, traveled. All I, people go, "Where are you going this summer?" I go, "I'm staying in Miami. I have no place else I want to go." I've been around the world, there's nothing like America or Miami, but we have it so good here.

• 1:22:13Speaker 04

  Miami's getting too cluttered, just saying.

• 1:22:15Speaker 05

  It is, because Adam.

• 1:22:16Speaker 04

  Got a little crowded.

• 1:22:17Adam Sosnick?

  Come on down.

• 1:22:18Speaker 05

  No, don't come down.

• 1:22:19Adam Sosnick?

  But we have it so good here, when you have it so good, you look for things to complain about.

• 1:22:22Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:22:24Adam Sosnick?

  I remember I had a conversation with this, this will be a real quick story, with this Indian kid on Manect, and he goes, "What is depression?"

• 1:22:32Adam Sosnick?

  I was like, what? He goes, I hear that American kids, they all have anxiety and depression. I don't know what depression is. I said, what do you mean? You don't, you've never been depressed? He goes, no, I don't know what this word means. What does it mean? I'm like, you know, when you're like so sad and upset about you don't have anything going on in his life? He's like, yeah, that is India. You have to figure it out. Yeah. He's like, why are they so depressed in America? I go, I love you, Kamaj. And it was incredible. It made me realize we have it so good here that we have the luxury of being depressed.

• 1:23:05Speaker 04

  You know, Tom, we were talking earlier, your dad fought in World War II.

• 1:23:11Adam Sosnick?

  His dad did. My dad's father.

• 1:23:13Speaker 04

  Your dad's father, okay. My dad fought in World War II, four years in the Pacific, died 30 years ago, my father. And that was the greatest generation.

• 1:23:23Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:23:24Speaker 04

  And I think you're raising a lot of good points here because I think of, my grandparents all came from Ireland. I took one of those ancestry tests.

• 1:23:32Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, really?

• 1:23:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, I'm like the only person that came back 100%.

• 1:23:35Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, really? You're Irish?

• 1:23:37Speaker 04

  100% Irish.

• 1:23:38Adam Sosnick?

  Ah.

• 1:23:38Speaker 04

  All four of my grandparents came from Ireland.

• 1:23:40Adam Sosnick?

  Hannity.

• 1:23:41Speaker 04

  And they told me that, how Sean Hannity?

• 1:23:43Adam Sosnick?

  Sean Hannity. Ah, I like that guy.

• 1:23:46Speaker 05

  I want to buy some Irish Spring after this.

• 1:23:49Speaker 04

  Try the Irish Spring five in one. It's actually really good. I use it. Yeah.

• 1:23:53Adam Sosnick?

  You're gonna start showering now, Vincent.

• 1:23:54Speaker 05

  Yes, my lady.

• 1:23:55Speaker 04

  We should have that as a sponsor. We have product placement here. I got Starbucks, I got Celsius. Where are all the advertisers?

• 1:24:04Adam Sosnick?

  So 100% Irish?

• 1:24:05Speaker 04

  So 100%, but I think that they came here, and this is the quintessential American story. It's not the Sean Hannity story, and they had nothing, broke, poor. They faced their discrimination. Irish Catholic need not apply at the time. Every group that's come here, I'm not, you can't compare anybody to what happened to African Americans, separate and apart. And, but they did it because they wanted a better life, courageous people. They were thinking about future generations and they were willing to sacrifice their life. And then my parents stood on their shoulders and I stand on my parents' shoulders. I refuse to, you teach people how to get wealthier.

• 1:24:47Speaker 04

  Adam, this guy's run CEO Fortune 500 companies.

• 1:24:52Adam Sosnick?

  Next level, right?

• 1:24:52Speaker 04

  Next level, okay? And I'm just telling you, all those things, we owe it to our kids to teach them what freedom is. The blessings of liberty and freedom and the high cost of liberty and freedom. That's why, you're right, Tom, you said it earlier. I don't want these kids to die. However, I, you have to weigh that against, well, do we want to leave this country to our kids and grandkids with a nuclear armed Iran, a group, the number one state sponsor of terror, and then risk a Holocaust potentially down the line? Did we learn, if we could take Hitler out before the Holocaust, did you take him out?

• 1:25:37Adam Sosnick?

  I'm killing baby Hitler, I'm straight up doing it.

• 1:25:39Speaker 04

  Straight up doing it?

• 1:25:40Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:25:41Speaker 04

  Well, isn't that what we're doing here?

• 1:25:42Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, that's what it is.

• 1:25:43Speaker 04

  And I hate Hitler analogies.

• 1:25:45Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I'm not, not, not a fan of Hitler, I'm gonna come out and say it, I'm gonna stand there.

• 1:25:49Tom Ellsworth?

  So do I, because I, I feel like it's a form of name-calling that somehow moderates history. Because if you're, if you're gonna call somebody a liar, okay, they lied, you proved it, they're a liar in that instance. But when people use Hitler's name as a name-call, it's like, wait a minute. The, the comparison is, you can't compare it. How dare you use that to create, you know, just, all you want to do is create the boogeyman effect and the angst across the aisle and push the votes the other way through just the, the slaughter of reputations. And I agree with you on that, because I feel that Hitler has his own tragic, horrible

• 1:26:30Tom Ellsworth?

  place, and I don't want him, I don't want it watered down or used in any way. I want it to have almost a sense of just horror that sticks to it, that you, you, that you can't talk about it unless you look into the eyes of it and see the pure evil that it was, and it disgusts you so deeply at that moment that you say to yourself, there is no comparison. So that it's almost like, it says, I, you know, it's, it's almost like a word, a word that you can never use, and it just disgusts me.

• 1:26:59Speaker 04

  Well, Thomas, let me ask you though, this, because your raisin' a great point, I, I argued the same way you just did, but not as articulately. But here's my point. The regime in Iran, if they're that evil, and we really believe if they had nuclear weapons, we are risking for our children and grandchildren a potential nuclear holocaust. Is it not like Neville Chamberlain and Churchill? Can we take that basic lesson from history?

• 1:27:27Tom Ellsworth?

  Absolutely. You know, oh, the appeasement strategy?

• 1:27:29Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:27:30Tom Ellsworth?

  Hey, but that's... It didn't work. Who sent pallets of appeasement? I'm sorry. Dollars over there.

• 1:27:39Speaker 04

  I wish I'd thought of that when I was fighting Gavin Newsom this week.

• 1:27:42Tom Ellsworth?

  Who sent the pallets of appeasement over there? This was Barack Obama with the Neville Chamberlain playbook. Well, let's assume... And what they assume is that because they're for sale, that guy's for sale. And they apply the same standard to say, well, look, you know, we've been bribing the poor for their vote by giving them welfare programs. Let's just bribe these guys.

• 1:28:06Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 1:28:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Because they apply that same standard of human manipulation that works for their voting blocks over there. But they're dealing with bloodthirsty genocidal dictators, and that's what I call them. To say blood... And this is where somewhere Ann Coulter is smiling because I said it that way. They are bloodthirsty. There's a bloodlust for the complete termination and destruction of the other side. That is not a person that you can just bribe with pallets full of cash because they're going to take the cash and they'll say, boy, that guy was dumb.

• 1:28:40Speaker 04

  Yeah, and they're going to go...

• 1:28:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Look at all this money we have to keep doing what we're doing. Just keep it down. Keep it down. Don't be too loud about it.

• 1:28:46Adam Sosnick?

  To what Sean said. By the way, thank you for taking a hard stance on Hitler because when I go on X, he's the coolest guy in the world, so thank you for that. But you brought up that you're 100% Irish. You know, my grandfather, he fought in World War II. You know, you said you're a grandfather as well? I remember a time where, you know, I'm a student of history. What, we've seen the movies, we've seen what happened. Whether it's the Irish, whether it's Italians, whether it's the Jews, whether it's the Polish, whether it's the Asians, whether it's Indians, they come and you know what they give you? Nothing, nothing. Welcome to America, you got the golden ticket, here you go. And now, a couple of generations later, these newcomers come on in. Here's a hotel, here's a debit card, here's some free healthcare. You know what?

• 1:29:31Adam Sosnick?

  Rip off the system if you don't want, start a little Medicare fraud, start a little leering center in Minneapolis, Somalians. And then this is what happens, and they become entitled. And then here's the biggest hypocrisy of all. They're here, they get this welfare, and then they start hating America. To me, it's like, what is going on here right now?

• 1:29:53Speaker 01

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' healthcare to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the HouseMajorityPac.com.

• 1:30:53Speaker 04

  Then, of course, then Americans, I think, now we could switch topics a little bit. Because you brought immigration. Most preventable national security disaster in our history. And I actually wrote down somewhere here, I don't remember. Because this is so outrageous to me, when you look at what has happened and all. I said after the joint session speech when President Trump got elected the second time, and they wouldn't stand for Lake and Riley's family, they wouldn't stand for Jocelyn Nungary's family, that young man, Daniel, he'd beaten cancer, Sean Kern gives him the secrets.

• 1:31:30Speaker 05

  The little police officer in a uniform. Incredible kid.

• 1:31:33Speaker 04

  It was such a cool moment. Democrats sat on their backsides, they wouldn't stand up for them. Then, when the President said at this State of the Union, "Stand with us if you agree", the first row, I'm working you up.

• 1:31:49Speaker 05

  No, no, no, this is.

• 1:31:50Adam Sosnick?

  There we go. Of course, continue, please.

• 1:31:52Speaker 04

  And we have all of these recent examples, I've got, I can go through one after another. The guy that was thrown onto a subway train. You have this 18-year-old Loyola student is murdered, this person allowed in by Biden, Harris, Mayorkas, and then a month later, after they came in illegally, didn't respect our laws, border sovereignty, committed a crime, then let the guy out again. Now this girl's 18 and dead. You want to be that family? You want to be that family? You want to be that family? Hell, no. Nobody wants that. And it's example after example.

• 1:32:31Speaker 04

  Now, I see, then you've got this idiot older woman, who made this ridiculous statement, "Well, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time." Then you have Brandon Johnson's stupid comments. I think we have, I think Robert has that, and we can play it, but.

• 1:32:48Speaker 05

  Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson?

• 1:32:49Speaker 04

  Mayor, Brandon Johnson.

• 1:32:51Speaker 05

  His actions, because he brought, he literally brings an abolish, she was just killed, she was just murdered, God rest her soul, and he wheels in an abolish ICE truck behind it.

• 1:33:01Speaker 04

  I know.

• 1:33:02Speaker 05

  Like, how, what? I thought it was, I thought this was AI. Rob, can you play this video? To all of the residents who participated in our snowplow naming contest. Look at this. Keep speaking up.

• 1:33:14Adam Sosnick?

  In every way and any way that you can. I look forward to meeting with the Chicagoans who submitted the winning names. And I look forward to seeing our city's pride, our spirit, and even yes, our humor, represent us again next year. And so with that.

• 1:33:31Speaker 05

  You brought me a plug. And then he goes, somebody has the, at least the, like, the know-how to say, uh, mayor. Oh, this is it. Yeah. Guys, listen to the audio. Somebody's asking, Sean, like, you think the scheduling could have changed because she was killed? Listen to his response.

• 1:33:47Speaker 03

  Did you reconsider scheduling, rescheduling this event, given the murder of Sheridan Gorman by an undocumented immigrant?

• 1:33:56Adam Sosnick?

  Well, look, as I've said before, my condolences to the family of Sheridan. This is a terrible tragedy. And what I've said from the very beginning, I'm going to continue to use every single tool that's available to me to protect the residents of the city of Chicago.

• 1:34:19Speaker 05

  Jeez.

• 1:34:19Adam Sosnick?

  And this tragedy is not going to deter us from our work. In fact, it's going to challenge us all to double down on our efforts to ensure that we are protecting every single individual across neighborhoods.

• 1:34:35Speaker 05

  Sean, like, do you guys understand what he's saying? What he's saying is, hey, listen, I know an illegal just murdered an 18-year-old American citizen. But guess what, Chicago, I'm gonna still represent the illegals to come into this freaking state and into this country and continue to kill 18-year-old girls. Do you understand how insane that is? And for anybody out there that keeps voting for Democrats, I'm sorry, guys. You are, you've lost the freaking plot. It's over.

• 1:35:06Speaker 04

  Robert, can you pull up Maria Hayden, uh, the, the, the older woman? So I had on my radio show, the mother, Cheryl Minter is her name.

• 1:35:15Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:35:16Speaker 04

  Forty-one-year-old daughter, Stephanie Minter, murdered by another Biden, Harris, Mayorkas.

• 1:35:24Speaker 04

  Illegal and here's where it gets worse. You know, you have kids, your kids do something wrong, not a big deal. Okay, it's when they lie to you. Then I get, then I really get mad. They're gonna get punished more for lying than they're gonna get for whatever they did. They lied to us. Two big lies they told us. Joe was cognitively functioning. That was complete Adam Schiff. And you like that, right? Very clever. And the other big lie was the borders closed and the borders secure. Over 12 million unvetted Harris Biden Mayorkas illegals from over 200 countries. Many were terrorized. We have Americans that have been murdered and murdered and raped and raped and sexual,

• 1:36:06Speaker 04

  victims of sexual crime, other violent crime, children molested. I'll give you a statistic and then I'll shut up and get your comments. ICE in 2025 alone, they arrested over 2,100 convicted or charged illegals of murdering Americans. They arrested over 5,400 charged or convicted.

• 1:36:35Speaker 04

  I love that. Maybe mine. I don't know.

• 1:36:39Speaker 05

  Literally. It doesn't get cooler than that, guys. I'm sorry. My chopper's landing. Please continue.

• 1:36:44Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:36:45Speaker 05

  Gangster show, I love that.

• 1:36:47Speaker 04

  Go on. It just fell into my lap. I wish I didn't say it.

• 1:36:50Speaker 05

  No, it's, I mean, it's really true.

• 1:36:52Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know if the people can hear it. There's a loud helicopter.

• 1:36:54Speaker 04

  Well, the only way I'm gonna be able to get back and do my radio program on time. I still have three hours of radio to do.

• 1:36:59Adam Sosnick?

  Listen, I get it, Sean. The helicopter, you're on Air Force One. I'm good, baby.

• 1:37:03Speaker 05

  I want the finish.

• 1:37:03Adam Sosnick?

  Life's good, Sean Hannity.

• 1:37:04Speaker 05

  I wanna hear this.

• 1:37:05Adam Sosnick?

  Please continue.

• 1:37:06Speaker 04

  5,400 people, illegals, charged or are convicted of raping or other violent sexual crimes against Americans. That's 2025 alone. It is intolerable. Now, I take it one step further. Those, those mayors and those governors, sanctuary cities, sanctuary states. Biden himself, Harris, Mayorkas, they all have blood on their hands.

• 1:37:34Adam Sosnick?

  I agree.

• 1:37:35Speaker 04

  I blame them.

• 1:37:36Adam Sosnick?

  Hundred percent.

• 1:37:37Speaker 04

  They are responsible. And this, this gets into, you were talking about elections earlier.

• 1:37:42Adam Sosnick?

  Hmm.

• 1:37:43Speaker 04

  And I'm like, you're right. You know what drives elections? Peace and prosperity. All right, with a little luck, we're gonna get out of Iran and we're gonna do it successfully. I pray to God and maybe we'll have a thousand years of peace. Uh, Cuba's gonna fall. The western hemisphere is changing. Maybe, maybe we can thread the needle and maybe Putin will, you know, get rid of his stubbornness and, and come to peace with, with Zelensky in Ukraine and we could all get along. And then, the next most important thing Donald Trump has done, he set us up for a good economy. I know it's a little rough now because of gas prices, but this war, I think, will be over within four to five weeks. Done, completely finished, with all the goals that we discussed earlier.

• 1:38:25Speaker 04

  Then, we're gonna focus on, and I wanna get your thoughts on this. The most important midterm election in our lifetime. I really believe that. The consequences could not be any more significant or severe.

• 1:38:38Adam Sosnick?

  Don't they say that about every election, though?

• 1:38:40Speaker 04

  I have said it about many, but I've never felt as strongly about it as I do now.

• 1:38:44Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm on the same page. I'm on the very same page.

• 1:38:46Speaker 05

  And I, and Sean, just to, to get to your point, beside, I, I, I agree that the midterms is gonna be insanely important. 2028 is gonna come like that, and if you're seeing from the mayors and the attitude of all these potential frontrunners like Gavin Newsom, they care about illegals more than they care about us. Why? Because that influx that they let in, Mayorkas, that's their voting base. Because, Sean.

• 1:39:08Speaker 04

  Is that why they don't want the SAVE Act?

• 1:39:10Speaker 05

  Ex- Sean, exactly, because Sean, when you don't have a policy, when you don't have a message, when you don't have a leader, a leader, that's what you have to resort to. What, like, people just go, oh, Mayorkas and them, they wanted them, they love them. Sean, this is a tactic from the Democratic Party. Let's just, really, really fast, let's break down their just election tactics because they don't have anybody. From 2016, Trump wins, what do they do? Hillary, Obama, spying, Brennan, Russia collusion, they can't play fair. Then George

• 1:39:39Speaker 05

  riots they burned down the whole country with George Soros paying for it they try to impeach Trump with Zelensky with the phone call which is absolutely nonsense and he got acquitted then you go to covid which I believe Sean Vincent O'Shaughnessy believes that China on purpose with some of our deep state actors with Fauci and we're finding out Fauci and all of his nonsense is coming out in Congress which I love then think about it that covid Sean 2020 election shut down mail in ballots late night ballot drops cheating evidence keeps coming out with Georgia Tom we keep seeing it January 6th

• 1:40:09Speaker 04

  confirmed

• 1:40:10Speaker 05

  direction feds all over the place Sean they made it seem like all these people died the only person that was murdered was Ashley Babbitt a US Air Force veteran God rest her soul they impeach him again then for four years they opened the border Sean they flood the country the whole time going after Trump keeping him off the ballots shooting him in the head Sean they have nothing this is how they operate when you don't have a person that's why Sean I'm being respectful because you know Stephen A Smith and I absolutely love Stephen A he's gonna be on my podcast on Monday hotcakes and hot takes I want there to be a democratic leader Sean I truly want somebody on the other side that I could feel comfortable because the pendulum is going to swing saying Sean you know what I trust Stephen A Smith I'm not gonna I would even consider voting for that guy if it's that type because I'm not a Democrat Republican I am just a guy that wants the best for the country give us somebody all you have is Gavin Newsom that's their front runner Sean Gavin Newsom is all they have and he's pro illegal and I guarantee you Sean he if he wins God forbid he opens the border on day one I guarantee I'll put money where my mouth is Gavin Newsom goes this country is for this country is for everybody Trump is a Nazi Hitler whatever open the border watch mark my words

• 1:41:21Speaker 04

  first thing you do

• 1:41:22Speaker 05

  that's what what else was he gonna do what else is he running on he's a sanctuary city guy that's freaking California that's the fear the midterms bleeds into 2028

• 1:41:30Speaker 04

  I have studied Gavin Newsom I know him I I fight with him a lot he can't I I live rent free in his head

• 1:41:36Speaker 05

  yeah

• 1:41:37Speaker 04

  because he's constantly tweeting out against me which I kind of like which is which is pretty cool um here's you know I'm I'm so tempted to just stay Thomas and I are on the same page I want to stay focused on 26 however it's just too tempting because we all like politics so much to want to think about 28 Alright, I have to find out where your heads are at.

• 1:42:01Adam Sosnick?

  I have the answer. I already have the answer.

• 1:42:02Speaker 04

  What is it?

• 1:42:03Adam Sosnick?

  It's already written. It's already done.

• 1:42:04Speaker 04

  What?

• 1:42:05Adam Sosnick?

  You said that midterms are gonna be the most consequential.

• 1:42:08Speaker 04

  Most consequential in our lifetime?

• 1:42:10Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know. We're about to find out, but this is gonna be the first election in 2028 where Trump's not on the ballot.

• 1:42:16Speaker 04

  Correct.

• 1:42:17Adam Sosnick?

  Okay. I think the foreign wars are gonna be kinda messy, but done by then. There's no way Trump's gonna leave the world.

• 1:42:25Speaker 04

  It's gonna be done before this election.

• 1:42:26Adam Sosnick?

  You know, they say it's the economy, stupid. You know, what's the number one, the biggest voting bloc in America outside of white people? Latinos.

• 1:42:35Speaker 05

  Oh, I thought you was...

• 1:42:36Adam Sosnick?

  Latinos.

• 1:42:37Speaker 04

  I know where you're going.

• 1:42:37Adam Sosnick?

  I firmly believe, and I'm coming out way in front on this, that the President of the United States, when all is said and done in 2028, is going to be Marco Rubio, and I'll tell you why. Much like J.D. Vance 10 years ago, Rubio ran for president. He wasn't ready. He ran into a buzzsaw named Trump. Trump had the cachet, he had the marketing, he had the ability. No one was stopping Trump. This time around, America, as much as we appreciate Trump, a lot of people are gonna be like, can't we just have someone chill? And not ruffling the feathers so much? And I get it. We need a bull in a china shop right now.

• 1:43:18Adam Sosnick?

  I think what's gonna happen, let's say it's Gavin Newsom, or let's say it's whatever wokester they put out there, you're gonna have someone get up on stage, be competent, well-spoken, with a pedigree and a resume like no other. And you're gonna see Marco Rubio, and then Latinos? Shout out to mi gente in Miami, cuz I'll be down there with them. They're gonna galvanize around this guy. Cuba, there's a good potential Cuba will be free by then.

• 1:43:45Speaker 04

  It's gonna be free in three months.

• 1:43:46Adam Sosnick?

  There's gonna be memes. Think about this, and I have no disrespect to J.D., it's just not your turn. Okay? Just not your turn. The meme about JD Vance where he's like a big grown fat cabbage patch kid? You've seen that? Yeah. He's dancing. I don't know what that is. It's funny. The meme-

• 1:44:01Speaker 04

  I've seen too many memes about me, so I'm not-

• 1:44:04Adam Sosnick?

  No, this is, this is the meme about JD.

• 1:44:06Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:44:07Adam Sosnick?

  But the meme that will not go away about Rubio is he's the president of Venezuela. He's the ayatollah of Iran. He's the president of every single country. That's going, not going away. So when you have Rubio, there you go. There he's next to the ayatollah. I mean, Rob, you could have had something better for me. But this picture of Rubio dressed as the president, as the ayatollah, as everything in the world is going to basically go viral. And here, look at this picture right here. Alright, I don't know why he's the president. Okay, some leader.

• 1:44:37Speaker 04

  By the way-

• 1:44:38Adam Sosnick?

  But Rubio is going to be the guy. Mark my word.

• 1:44:42Speaker 04

  That's a bold prediction.

• 1:44:43Adam Sosnick?

  There it is.

• 1:44:46Speaker 04

  I can see that possibility for sure.

• 1:44:48Adam Sosnick?

  What's my point? Sean Hannity agrees.

• 1:44:50Speaker 04

  Okay, Thomas.

• 1:44:51Tom Ellsworth?

  So I'm worried about the midterms and everything is pointing right now. All the polling that you see from the good polls, Rasmus and guys are really good. Mark over there, honest pollster as they say. Atlas Intel, you, you start to look at the American Insights, which is kind of a new one coming up. And it doesn't look good for one reason, the economy. The war will get sorted out and then I think good news is coming on Cuba. A, a country where, you know, my parents lived for 10 days and, and understood-

• 1:45:22Adam Sosnick?

  You mean, you mean they visited?

• 1:45:24Tom Ellsworth?

  No, no, no, no. My, my parents understood the Cuban missile crisis. They understood what was going on. And so they lived through that and now to see Cuba, the people become free and things that can happen there. And it's going to take some elections and some development and things like that. But that's coming good. Okay. All of that, I believe, is going to be here before, before summer is. But, the big but, is will the economy turn in enough time and see enough good news there that the people will see it and recognize it? Because right now, Trump has most of his Republican base. It's the independents that went with him during the election that right now are in

• 1:46:09Tom Ellsworth?

  the middle and they're back to the anything but this. Why? They don't like the war. They don't like gas at the pump. Thank goodness this isn't happening in the deep winter because heating oil is a huge expense to the people that live in the Northeast. So, thank goodness we're out of that with the price of oil up. And people are looking at it right now and the independents are in this anything but this mode, which is kind of scary because it's showing up in the polling. What do you see?

• 1:46:39Speaker 04

  That is the greatest analysis of this moment in time that I've heard. Everything you said is dead-on accurate. Now, I'm going to give what has to happen, and we have to add one other thing, I think, and that is historical trends don't work against the party in power for midterms. I think all bets will be off. I have to make certain assumptions. I think this war is going to be over four or five weeks. If that's true, if it ends successfully, then that is a huge win for the president. Cuba falls, big win for the president. Venezuela, big win for the president. Maybe a path to peace in the Middle East. That's not the issue that's going to win the election, though.

• 1:47:21Speaker 04

  The issue that will win the election is the economy. There's three big things that I think are working in President Trump's favor. You're rightly looking at the clock. Do we have enough time? Okay, very important question. Now, what did the president set up? He set a great foundation for a great economy. Largest tax cuts in history. Let's go back historically. His first term, his tax cuts led to record-low unemployment for every demographic in the country. African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, women in the workplace, African-American youth unemployment.

• 1:47:56Tom Ellsworth?

  New record-historic low for African-Americans.

• 1:47:58Speaker 04

  Exactly. All right. Reagan, 70 to 28 percent, largest tax cut in history at the time. Okay. Longest period of peacetime economic growth in history, 21 million new jobs created. And so that is set. And Democrats voted against it. Part two.

• 1:48:19Tom Ellsworth?

  Constantly.

• 1:48:20Speaker 04

  I was with, I mentioned earlier, I went with the president on the trip to the Gulf states.

• 1:48:26Adam Sosnick?

  Air Force One?

• 1:48:29Speaker 04

  What's your point?

• 1:48:30Speaker 05

  Adam, come on.

• 1:48:32Speaker 04

  By the way, he told me he'd give me a thousand dollars every time I said it, so.

• 1:48:35Speaker 05

  Oh, we're up to four grand, so.

• 1:48:37Adam Sosnick?

  He doesn't have four grand in the bank account, okay?

• 1:48:39Speaker 04

  I'm actually feeling bad. He made me do it.

• 1:48:42Adam Sosnick?

  Sean Hannity, there's nothing you could do to make me feel bad. Have you seen the comments in the chat?

• 1:48:47Speaker 04

  No, how bad is it?

• 1:48:48Adam Sosnick?

  I'm impervious to this.

• 1:48:49Speaker 04

  How many people are hating that Patrick's not here today?

• 1:48:53Adam Sosnick?

  Nobody. We do miss PBD, but we're really enjoying it.

• 1:48:56Speaker 04

  Oh, we love PBD. I'm here for one day, just get over it. I'm leaving.

• 1:49:00Adam Sosnick?

  That helicopter might come back. You come back again, you never know.

• 1:49:03Speaker 04

  Listen, if you'll have me.

• 1:49:03Adam Sosnick?

  Anyway, you were on Air Force One.

• 1:49:05Speaker 04

  No, all right, so this, all the money that he has been able to secure for investment, manufacturing investment, for example, pharmaceuticals, rare earth is gonna happen here, semiconductor chips, we're gonna, we're gonna bring back automobile manufacturing. One other component for the economy, this is what gives me hope for the six-month period, the window that we really have to turn the ship.

• 1:49:33Speaker 04

  It's energy. Right now, you wouldn't make that prediction, right? However, if I'm right, if he can get out of this situation, and we can get focused and dialed into that, and all those foundational pieces now kick in, which by the way, Scott Besson was saying would happen, I think got a little delayed because of this conflict. I expect. Put it this way, when Reagan won reelection and he won 49 states, the last quarter leading into his election, GDP was 7.3 percent. We get to 5. Trump will win, we will win the House and the Senate overwhelmingly.

• 1:50:14Speaker 04

  If we don't, if it's 4 percent, I think we have a good shot. And I have a very, I'm very optimistic we'll get there, but your analysis, if that doesn't happen, historical trends will hold.

• 1:50:28Speaker 01

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC dot com.

• 1:51:12Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, exactly. And I see the president, the most important weapon he has is his pen. And right now, electricity for the common person on affordability could be shifted very, very quickly. Simply, if you're building a data center that's going to, that's going to hyper-impact the local power grid, and now you've got, what is that, ECO in Texas and the power companies and the groups have to, raising the rates in response to demand, I want a subsidy that counteracts that on the construction side. You know, when you, what's really interesting in this country, when you go and you look

• 1:51:53Tom Ellsworth?

  and you see what Toll Brothers and Pulte Homes and what, and Lanier, what they have to do when they build, you know, neighborhoods, they pitch in to help sewer and water lines get built. Why? Because they're going to take all this land and build homes. on it and they need sewer and water lines to get there and electricity so that they could do that. Who builds the road? Who owns the road? The city does. Who puts the fire department, the fire hydrants there? The city does. Because what the home builders have to help. I think the data, what's happening right now with data centers, creating instant demand, which craters the local demand coefficient for electricity and then the price goes up because there's a shortage of kilowatts. So then the price goes up.

• 1:52:36Tom Ellsworth?

  If he moves his pen and tells people, say, listen, this is what we're doing on energy. Data centers are going to be here. AI is going to be here. It's going to be a technological advantage. And while we're building the micro nukes, which we have had no permits on forever. While we're getting that going and jobs will be created in those, those power stations. Guess what? I'm going to counteract the cost of electricity here. And he, he had a kind of a verbal handshake. Did you see that a month ago with Microsoft? Microsoft agreed that it was going to cover it. You make that a mandate and say, look, we're not controlling and we're not going to be in the data center business. But we're going to be in the, in the no inflation on electric power because data centers are being built.

• 1:53:19Tom Ellsworth?

  This country, when we've had industrialization, it's benefited the consumer. This is an industrialization step that could hurt the consumer because of electric prices. These are one of many things I think he could do it with his pen. He could do it with this pen and people would see it. They would see that they're, hey, our electricity just went down. I know the data centers can be paying part of his fair share. And guess what people would say? Wow, thank you.

• 1:53:42Speaker 04

  But for example, what is it? Apple? They're going to spend a trillion dollars in Texas? I mean, the amount of manufacturing. I'm going to press you on one thing.

• 1:53:52Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, okay.

• 1:53:53Speaker 04

  Because I just can't. I mean, it's a fun question. 28, who's it going to be?

• 1:53:58Tom Ellsworth?

  28. I, I believe that the tide is turning right here and that Marco Rubio's resume is being tremendously improved. And I saw the comment made by Vance, who he kinda, I don't know if it's a head fake or what it was last week where he said, well, maybe, maybe I won't run. Maybe, maybe I need to be more responsive to some family situations. He made that kind of float. It wasn't a definitive comment. It wasn't a podium comment, you know what I'm talking about? It was just, he kind of floated, "Well, I may not run. I may have some family consideration." But it was one of those walking to the helicopter, talking like this. It wasn't making an announcement at a podium.

• 1:54:32Speaker 04

  Before, before we get Vinny's prediction, should the president anoint? Or should he allow all the potential candidates to do what he did?

• 1:54:45Tom Ellsworth?

  There's no anointing. We're not the Democratic Party, okay? Fight it out.

• 1:54:49Speaker 04

  I agree with you.

• 1:54:50Tom Ellsworth?

  J.D. Vance, you're not Kamala Harris.

• 1:54:52Speaker 05

  I agree 100%, but Sean, there was, there was an awesome moment in the State of the Union. Besides the, him showing that the Democrats care more about illegals than Americans. There was a moment where he gives Marco Rubio the credit and Marco just sits there stoic, doesn't need the limelight, doesn't need the pat on the back. And there's a moment, Sean, I'll show it to you after, he gives him like a, like a wink. To me, that was like the, it's you.

• 1:55:15Speaker 04

  By the way, I've known Marco. That is Marco. Marco's a very humble guy.

  He's a, he's an amazing guy. I think, Sean, I think the, I think Marco's number one, depending on how this war pans out in the next, I'll give, I'll give him a month and a half or two. It's gonna be a huge thing because I think the J.D. Vances are kind of, you notice how they've stepped back, Sean, so where they could be like, "Hey, guys, this war is horrible." I was in those meetings saying, you know, "The president said that I'm less enthusiastic about..." Yeah, so.

• 1:55:44Tom Ellsworth?

  If you're a Republican, never go. Well, Marco's a good guy, but you're also a good guy. And on behalf of all three of us, we'd like to say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here."

• 1:55:51Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:55:52Speaker 04

  I'm getting the hook.

• 1:55:54Tom Ellsworth?

  You got a hook in Hannity? No, no, no. You're hooking Hannity? It's a segue. You son of a gun.

• 1:55:59Speaker 04

  You gotta go to the conference.

• 1:56:00Tom Ellsworth?

  No, no, no. We have something for you.

• 1:56:03Speaker 05

  So Sean, this is Sean, this is a small token of, before you even open it, Sean. We appreciate you, we respect you, we love you. This has never happened and the first person that Pat thinks about is you to come, to bring you here. Uh, thank you for filling in, uh, for the PBD podcast. Everybody at ValueTainment loves the work that you do. And as a token of our appreciation, uh, Pat and us, we went to Italy. Pat came up with a shoe. It's a future looks bright shoe. Sean, you have to open it and look at, this was 100% made in Italy. It was inspired here in Fort Lauderdale and it's a gift from us at ValueTainment to you. And look at the bottom, Sean.

• 1:56:35Tom Ellsworth?

  Look at the bottom.

• 1:56:35Speaker 05

  Sean, look at the bottom. Show that to the camera so they, boom!

• 1:56:39Tom Ellsworth?

  Boom, look at that.

• 1:56:40Speaker 05

  You know what? Sean, it's comfortable.

• 1:56:42Tom Ellsworth?

  That's right. All the things we talk about. What size shoe are you, Sean?

• 1:56:45Speaker 04

  Eleven and a half.

• 1:56:46Tom Ellsworth?

  That's gonna be fit perfect. Fit like a glove.

• 1:56:47Speaker 04

  Is that gonna fit like a glove?

• 1:56:48Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:56:49Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep. All the things we talk about and all the things that we criticize and we do justly so that the viewers and, and people listening can hear and hear our voices. And thank you for bringing that despite all that, despite all the stuff that we look at and we process and we crank through and the injustices and things we have. We believe in our, in our soul that America is built on liberty, freedom and free enterprise. And we believe the future looks bright. So we never let the reality of what we process every day, sometimes a little loudly, sometimes with great passion. You're looking loudly at me? Who's that guy? We never let that obscure the clear eyed view we have of the future and it's Pat's and it's Pat's, you know, you know, credo that he's instilled in all of us. And it's what he likes to say is the future looks bright.

• 1:57:32Tom Ellsworth?

  And so from Pat to you, he's not here to say thank you, but we say thank you on behalf of Pat.

• 1:57:37Speaker 04

  So I ran into Pat at a steakhouse. And it was his wife and kids.

• 1:57:42Speaker 05

  I was there, Sean, the recent one?

• 1:57:44Speaker 04

  Um, you know, the restaurant?

• 1:57:46Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about. I was there, but I was outside.

• 1:57:49Speaker 04

  Okay. And look, all I can say is I'm a fan of this podcast. There, there are a lot of shows out there, everyone has all the choices in the world. And what I I'm very honored that you guys had me here. It's not false humility. I'm not placating you guys. I'm not patronizing. But I watch and what I love about this podcast is smart. I learned something. There's great insight. There's good passionate debate. And, you know, I will tell you, um, all of you bring such unique gifts and talents to the table. As I get older, one of the things I like to do is I like to learn from other people. And I've I've interviewed, I told you Steve Wynn. I've had dinner with a couple of billionaires. I never thought in my life I've ever meet a billionaire.

• 1:58:34Speaker 04

  And I like to sit there and just absorb. How did their story? What is their story? How did it happen? This whole Steve Wynn story, but it's Patrick's story. It's your story, Adam. It's your story, Thomas. Vinny, you set me up. I owe him an apology.

• 1:58:49Adam Sosnick?

  No, you don't.

• 1:58:50Speaker 04

  You totally set me up.

• 1:58:51Adam Sosnick?

  He loves it.

• 1:58:52Speaker 04

  Robert's been working. I don't know how the heck you do this. He's out there. He's he's like running this computer the whole time.

• 1:58:59Adam Sosnick?

  No, we don't let him leave. He's the best in the game. He has a whole wife and kids at home. He doesn't even know how to go see his kids.

• 1:59:04Speaker 04

  He sends me, you guys sent me the prep to do this thing today. I'm like, okay, if I had to read this every day, I would go crazy.

• 1:59:10Adam Sosnick?

  It's Tom's fault.

• 1:59:11Speaker 04

  It's amazing.

• 1:59:12Adam Sosnick?

  He's literally, he's the best, he's the best in the game. And Sean, we appreciate you more than you know for what you've done and and you being here.

• 1:59:19Speaker 04

  Um, and I want to say thanks to Patrick. I mean, honestly, to sit in his chair and in this beautiful new studio. Love your new digs. It's very cool. It's an honor to be here. Ous, I am. Thank you.

• 1:59:31Adam Sosnick?

  So by the way, before we wrap up, what's next? What's going, what's next with Hangout with Hannity?

• 1:59:35Speaker 04

  I want you guys to come. Honestly, I want to do, I I would love to pick up this discussion for four hours and not stop.

• 1:59:41Adam Sosnick?

  Let's do it.

• 1:59:42Speaker 04

  But you know what? I, people ask me, well, you do radio, you do TV, and now you're doing a podcast. I said, that's all I want to do.

• 1:59:48Adam Sosnick?

  Good.

• 1:59:49Speaker 04

  I'll give you a quick story and then we'll we'll end it. You know, when Rush got sick, he died five years ago. And we all, every one of us that gives opinion, owe him a debt of gratitude because he forged this path for all of us. And to this day, I'm very grateful. And the the thing about Rush Limbaugh is when he got sick, his brother's been my agent my entire career, David Limbaugh. Oh, really? And I'm very close to the family. His niece was my assistant up until recently. She has like four kids now, so.

• 2:00:20Adam Sosnick?

  She's busy.

• 2:00:21Speaker 04

  She's busy. She'll be back though.

• 2:00:22Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 2:00:24Speaker 04

  And so I'm just close to the family, close to his brother. But here's the beauty of Rush, and I think it's a lesson for all of us about what you do in life. Is when Rush was sick, he would, he would go, when he announced that it was advanced stage four lung cancer, he knew it was game over. He just wanted to see how long it could last. He'd withstand this brutal treatment. And what was his bucket list? We all, we watched the movie The Bucket List, right? Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.

• 2:00:56Adam Sosnick?

  Morgan Freeman, yeah.

• 2:00:57Speaker 04

  His bucket list was to get back on the air.

• 2:01:00Adam Sosnick?

  Wow.

• 2:01:01Speaker 04

  He was living his dream every day.

• 2:01:03Adam Sosnick?

  Wow.

• 2:01:03Speaker 04

  And I kind of feel the same way. And getting to hang out with you guys is just like a cherry on top. God bless you all. Thank you all for having me.

• 2:01:09Speaker 05

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked $350,000 Virginia's health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, theHouseMajorityPact.com.
