Valuetainment - “Iran Is An Existential Threat” - Hannity WARNS Why Trump Must END Iran Threat NOW

00:00:00.000 square knows that in hospitality efficiency is everything that's why their system lets you take

00:00:07.980 payments track sales handle inventory manage staff send invoices and keep up with finances

00:00:13.320 all in one place apply through orders with zero mistakes get the data you need and keep everything

00:00:19.200 working together so you're ready for whatever's next learn more about their customizable plans

00:00:24.240 So let me take it to the next level.

00:00:28.740 So the president extended out negotiations for 10 more days.

00:00:34.800 For me, the best interview that was the most revealing in terms of what imminent threat or defining imminent threat,

00:00:43.720 I had the Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff.

00:00:46.780 He was in the room.

00:00:47.820 He negotiated with the Iranians.

00:00:49.740 I think we have a clip of it.

00:00:51.120 I want to play it.

00:00:51.860 And this is where he affirmed they had 460 kilograms of 60 percent enriched uranium, which means that you could very quickly enrich it from 60 to 90 percent, which is weapons grade.

00:01:08.000 You can do that in anywhere from seven to 12 days.

00:01:10.720 Now, that would be the equivalent of 11 bombs.

00:01:14.100 Thomas mentioned earlier, we now know their ballistic missile capability range is way further than we thought.

00:01:21.180 By the way, you know what that means? Paris, London, you know, targets that nobody thought they would have had.

00:01:28.380 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?

00:01:43.240 OK, this is Steve Wyckoff with telling us that they had the inalienable right to enrich to which we responded.

00:01:51.180 that from President Trump, that we had the inalienable right to stop them from enriching.

00:01:57.960 So, but they opened up by challenging us.

00:02:01.500 Their next statement to us was that they had 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium.

00:02:09.760 60% enriched uranium would take a week, maybe 10 days at the outside,

00:02:14.960 to bring up to 90% weapons grade.

00:02:18.300 So it was a clear threat.

00:02:19.580 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 attesting to wanting nuclear for civil purposes.

00:02:33.820 There is no reason whatsoever to be enriching past 20 percent unless you're going for a weapon.

00:02:40.580 And then finally, and this was all 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.

00:02:56.440 Now, yes, we had destroyed their three main enrichment and conversion centers, Natanz, Esfahan, and Fordow.

00:03:03.940 that was clear they of course didn't want to admit it but think about the notion of beginning a

00:03:10.080 negotiation by saying that we would they would we would not be able to get diplomatically

00:03:15.960 what we couldn't achieve militarily we did achieve militarily but they were basically

00:03:21.460 saying that we didn't and they weren't going to give it to us anyway all right thomas let me throw

00:03:28.160 that to you with this question framed this way. Now, either they're going to negotiate out. Maybe

00:03:36.360 they learned something. The president begged them for peace twice before Midnight Hammer,

00:03:41.640 before Epic Fury. He's now giving them another lifeline. What are the conditions? What do they

00:03:49.820 have to guarantee? No nukes. That enriched uranium, there's no way we can risk that uranium being in

00:03:57.140 the wrong hands now we're reading that marines have arrived and more are going i don't know how

00:04:04.720 to interpret that i don't know if that has to do with karg island i don't know if that has to do

00:04:08.400 with enriched uranium i i wouldn't know but what are the conditions in your head that either a

00:04:15.080 negotiated settlement or a military victory what would it take i i think i think it's going to take

00:04:20.700 a negotiated settlement um at the at the end of a barrel of a gun because i think that's all they

00:04:25.820 understand. And so I think the military destroying the things that are destroyed and then saying,

00:04:31.480 okay, so now are we going to do this? And if you look at the, you know, the multi-point plan,

00:04:36.900 really like the first six, seven points was all about, you know, no nuclear, right? You give back

00:04:44.280 this stuff. You don't enrich this. You don't do this. You don't do this. You don't do this.

00:04:48.640 And someone needs to maybe educate me. Maybe I missed a beat on why they would need enriched

00:04:54.800 uranium for industrial purposes. I don't think they run on nuclear power over there. I'm pretty

00:05:01.360 sure they have more than enough fossil fuel to run all their power plants and desalination and

00:05:07.060 do everything they need to do. But the first section was all about nuclear. The second section

00:05:13.080 was about funding all the H's, the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, funding them. Then the third section 0.86

00:05:20.320 went back to stability so if you really look at it it was a 15 point plan but there was really

00:05:25.400 only three asks nukes no funding these other folks and then you know recognition and create

00:05:33.680 some sort of a inspection and peacekeeping force and whatnot and that's it and what they're saying

00:05:39.100 is you're not going to get through negotiation which you couldn't get militarily you're basically

00:05:43.740 telling us okay kill me you know okay run me over which is horrifying it's like really you know and

00:05:50.060 The Marines in the area, the USS Tripoli sailed. 0.80

00:05:53.280 We called this two weeks ago.

00:05:54.740 Remember that?

00:05:55.620 So the USS Tripoli, I said, listen, the only reason the USS Tripoli is going there,

00:05:59.400 if you know anything about military structure and what the purpose of that ship is,

00:06:03.060 2,500 Marines, F-35s, aircraft carriers stay way over here

00:06:08.640 and are protected by submarines and very, very strong partnerships.

00:06:14.780 Well, guess what?

00:06:16.340 If you're going to go in, you need the USS Tripoli or you need the USS Boxer.

00:06:20.760 And the USS Boxer sailed on the 18th, I believe, out of San Diego with another 1,000 Marines and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Force.

00:06:31.640 And the Tripoli sailed over there with the 35th Marine Expeditionary Force with 2,500 Marines on there.

00:06:38.420 And so whether they take Karg Island or they take – and I don't know.

00:06:41.840 I can't pronounce it.

00:06:42.540 You can help me.

00:06:43.260 The queue.

00:06:44.340 No, no, no.

00:06:44.800 The island that is in the strait, in the hook, as they call it, there's a long lateral island that begins with a Q.

00:06:52.060 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.

00:07:02.060 If you look at a map there, I don't know what the name is.

00:07:04.020 But anyway, the point is you need the USS Tripler, the USS Boxer.

00:07:08.860 There it is.

00:07:10.180 What's that?

00:07:10.720 Begin with a Q?

00:07:12.320 Keshem? 0.80

00:07:12.800 Keshem? 0.80

00:07:13.440 Yeah.

00:07:13.880 Keshem.

00:07:14.240 Yeah, zoom back on it. See that there? So you take that island and this is what, you know, the military is saying that Keshem, take Keshem Island and you're going to have to do that Marines on the ground. I don't want to see Marines on the ground, but you don't want to see it, but they're, but they're going, they're going.

00:07:33.460 they're on their way

00:07:34.620 let me ask you guys a question

00:07:36.380 when you're dealing with the regime

00:07:38.220 and I'm genuinely being inquisitive right now

00:07:39.920 you're dealing with the regime

00:07:41.160 that kills its own people 1.00

00:07:42.980 that beats women 1.00

00:07:44.860 throws gays off the building 1.00

00:07:46.120 they're freaking 1.00

00:07:46.660 plunding proxies and terrorists 0.93

00:07:48.160 I thought we don't negotiate

00:07:50.220 technically with terrorists

00:07:51.020 but here's my question

00:07:51.760 we're negotiating with them

00:07:53.620 and they say

00:07:53.960 okay we're not going to enrich

00:07:55.280 and we're going to stop

00:07:56.160 are we still going to leave in

00:07:58.440 the ayatollahs

00:07:59.940 and these moolahs

00:08:00.740 what are we doing?

00:08:02.300 because it has to be their government has to change regime collapse the regime collapse but

00:08:08.500 and that's again sean i'm gonna keep going back to it i hope that they have without telling us

00:08:13.360 whatever they have to keep it secret a shadow government so to speak being formed in iran

00:08:18.400 because like i said sean how can you like you do you think there let's say what 800 000 soldiers

00:08:25.440 iranian soldiers once we do a regime change they're gonna just willingly be like okay 0.94

00:08:29.840 whoever the United States and Israel put in 0.66

00:08:31.800 I don't see that

00:08:33.960 happening so when I you gotta take like

00:08:35.500 do we have to take all of them out that's a crazy

00:08:37.800 operation because it's

00:08:39.860 again what about arming the

00:08:41.840 people that's what I had that

00:08:43.880 conversation with one of my friends but he goes Vinny

00:08:45.600 you start giving those just

00:08:47.540 everybody weapons he's like then

00:08:49.740 other factions are gonna start rising up and

00:08:51.820 people he said it'd be a very very

00:08:53.620 but this is what makes I think

00:08:56.020 Operation Epic Fury

00:08:57.760 so historical i mean i would argue from an intelligence standpoint military standpoint

00:09:02.480 this operation to this point we don't know the final outcome yet and it's going to get

00:09:08.680 complicated and i agree with what thomas was saying but so far it's the greatest military

00:09:14.440 operation in the history of warfare as of today now how it concludes i want to go back to to what

00:09:21.680 thomas was saying again your thoughts and then and adam your thoughts because to me one way or

00:09:27.920 the other certain conditions have to be met or we don't ever want to go back right so what does that

00:09:33.900 mean they cannot have nukes we didn't expect that their ballistic missiles would be able to have the 0.85

00:09:40.080 range that they have as always international inspectors suck and they got it wrong okay

00:09:45.740 so but they can't keep 60 enriched uranium that they can turn into weapons grade in seven 0.84

00:09:51.560 or 12 days. That has to be part of the deal.

00:09:53.780 The straits has to be open. That's part

00:09:55.580 of the deal. I hate to tell you one other thing.

00:09:57.500 I've known Donald Trump for 30 some odd years.

00:10:00.080 There's no way in hell he's

00:10:01.480 leaving there unless they're agreeing

00:10:03.500 to pay us back for all the money

00:10:05.420 we had to spend to

00:10:07.500 liberate that country from

00:10:09.500 being a nuclear threat. Oh, you really think he's going to be

00:10:11.480 that guy? 100%. Oh, wow.

00:10:13.260 Remember, he got the oil from Venezuela.

00:10:15.400 We took Maduro. We helped

00:10:17.400 them set up whatever they set up there in terms

00:10:19.420 of government. And then the first

00:10:21.460 so many barrels of oil when they fully open the pipelines, because remember, if you look

00:10:25.780 at a map of Venezuela, the oil is like in a central valley, and these pipelines have

00:10:29.820 to get it to the ports.

00:10:31.360 And the pipelines were running at lower capacity.

00:10:33.760 Why?

00:10:34.440 Well, guess what?

00:10:35.940 There were some bargos, and they were having to ship contraband oil.

00:10:40.400 So when we got there, we said, okay, not only are the pipelines back open, and you guys,

00:10:46.260 heavy crude is what comes out of the ground there, and heavy crude refineries is what's

00:10:50.240 needed.

00:10:50.500 oh, and guess what? That's what's built in Houston and Galveston. So tell you what,

00:10:55.420 the first $500 million or whatever it is of oil, we're going to take. And we're going to take that

00:11:00.060 back for all the crap that you've done and to pay for this. So we got Maduro, the oil is going to 0.98

00:11:04.720 flow, your people are going to get the money, but we're also going to get paid for this. I look at

00:11:08.740 that deal in Venezuela and I'm like, this is brilliant. Also, I can't say who and I can't say

00:11:13.560 what, but Pat and I were in Washington. We were at the Department of War and we sat with an analyst.

00:11:18.880 This wasn't HEGSES, but we sat with an analyst that said that our risk report was estimated that we would lose 10.

00:11:28.160 The risk report was that it would be 10 servicemen lost in the assault to take Maduro.

00:11:34.460 It was zero.

00:11:35.840 And we had that one critically injured pilot, God bless him, who stood there at the State of the Union address and was recognized for his bravery standing there, you know, with canes holding himself up because he hasn't fully recovered.

00:11:48.880 and we lost zero, and we've lost 13 here.

00:11:51.960 So I like what I'm seeing.

00:11:54.380 I don't like loss of life,

00:11:55.740 and there are 13 families that are mourning the loss of servicemen

00:11:58.740 that serve bravely and honorably.

00:12:01.160 But I look at Venezuela, and I believe Sean's right.

00:12:05.060 There's going to be a deal back there

00:12:07.540 that also comes back to pay for this stuff.

00:12:10.340 I'm asking you to look into a crystal ball.

00:12:13.300 Will they negotiate that deal, or will they resist again?

00:12:17.500 they had time they had an opportunity for peace before midnight hammer they had an opportunity

00:12:22.660 for peace before epic fury they chose to pass now we're now at the fourth or fifth tier layer of

00:12:29.420 leadership we don't even know who the hell's in charge although they did give trump the big

00:12:33.640 present which is they let those eight tankers through which i think was a sign that we do have

00:12:37.740 power so will they will they agree to give up the 60 enriched uranium uh adam i want to get your

00:12:45.660 thoughts on that look we were asking the nuclear question right so i'm gonna try to weave it's

00:12:51.640 called the weave so i'm in a serious relationship these days you know shout out to my girl okay

00:12:56.520 let's change topics there we go and you know what happens when you're in a relationship i saw your

00:13:00.720 your lovely significant other you start watching a lot of movies and tv you stop going out romantic

00:13:06.840 comedies you're doing the comedies rom-coms it gets bad when you have to watch the real housewives

00:13:12.400 I don't do it.

00:13:12.900 I won't do it.

00:13:13.440 I refuse to do it.

00:13:15.260 Unless it's the real households.

00:13:16.420 Okay, you're giving advice on this topic.

00:13:19.020 Yes, here we go.

00:13:19.520 This is really happening.

00:13:20.060 So a movie that we recently watched, because we like comedies, we like Sacha Baron Cohen,

00:13:26.260 we like Borat, we like this, was The Dictator.

00:13:29.240 Have you seen this movie, The Dictator?

00:13:30.640 I haven't seen it, no.

00:13:31.200 Oh, my God.

00:13:31.680 Sacha Baron Cohen plays a Middle Eastern dictator who's enriching nuclear weapons, and his 0.95

00:13:38.960 famous line he goes we are having nuclear capabilities for peaceful purposes

00:13:44.320 for peaceful purposes he can't get it out because it's such a joke did you you're not

00:13:52.140 enriching nuclear capabilities to 60 which is almost weaponry for peaceful purposes let me add

00:13:59.240 one thing that interview with wikoff and this is what the this is where i think for me it was the

00:14:04.980 defining moment when i did that interview i knew it was game over he the decision had been made

00:14:10.380 yeah but he also added the u.s offered iran low-rich uranium for civilian purposes for free

00:14:20.480 in perpetuity said that in that interview peaceful purpose and then what they said

00:14:24.380 they said they said no and then rob do you have that chart that i sent you last week and it's a

00:14:29.860 very rudimentary chart of basically how nuclear weapons work none of us knew this i guess but

00:14:34.840 three to five percent out of 100 is for energy or for peaceful purposes 20 research in the history

00:14:41.820 of the world nobody's gone to 60 without going getting to a weapon so like now we're just going

00:14:47.460 to trust a theocratic thug-like jihadi regime to be like peaceful purposes listen as much as i like

00:14:55.020 watching movies the world isn't a disney movie like things are going to get real ugly unless

00:14:59.300 you have someone step up and say no no no you know speaking i spoke with another uh two buddies

00:15:05.400 of mine navy seals one is a u.s navy seal shout out to my boy kaj and his partner his friend and

00:15:10.860 a business partner is a israeli navy seal and they start talking about terrorism and uh deterrence

00:15:18.380 of terrorists and there's really guy with the thick accent he's like you have to have uh the

00:15:23.500 talents for the terrorists the talents for the terrorists and then he got it got so convoluted

00:15:29.020 as you're saying the same word it's like the terrorists the torrents the torrents and the

00:15:32.780 terrorists and he goes that's what it comes down to they only understand strength unless you're

00:15:38.380 not hit them hard they're not going to stop so israel's on the front lines of western civilization

00:15:44.660 that's what it comes down to we are so lucky to be in america debating what should we do what

00:15:51.540 should we do with iran i don't know but i'm gonna go to dinner tonight i have friends in israel that

00:15:56.000 are living in bunkers and have to hide in bunkers imagine just for a second forget if you're pro

00:16:02.180 israel or not imagine you're in new york you're in la you're in miami and chicago every two hours

00:16:07.260 of your life you have to run into a bunker a bomb shelter because iran the rgc is trying to bomb

00:16:16.520 civilians one thing i know that israel is great at is taking out terrorists pinpointing u.s taking

00:16:23.020 out irgc they're just trying to take out everybody they can in a blaze of glory okay let me ask you

00:16:28.360 this specific question because this infuriates me we've been witnessing the rise of anti-semitism

00:16:34.400 worldwide we see it in the halls of congress we see it on college campuses we see it in the podcast

00:16:40.940 space and it's loud and it gets louder here's my question for anybody that that is angry for

00:16:48.680 example all these people that were protesting you know um uh gaza and what happens you know

00:16:55.120 to the people in gaza excuse me they're the ones that voted in uh hamas in the first place but

00:17:00.260 here's my point israel has a population of under 10 million people what do we have 365 million

00:17:08.140 Americans around that of our population. So extrapolate out their population versus ours,

00:17:15.100 compare it to October 7th. That's the equivalent of over 40,000 dead Americans in a day.

00:17:20.480 For all those people that said, oh, Israel shouldn't fight back. What would you want

00:17:24.800 America to do if America had the equivalent of 40,000 dead Americans? My answer, obliterate 0.98

00:17:32.240 the living daylights out of them, destroy them, and Israel goes to do it, and then anti-Semitism 1.00

00:17:39.060 rises. Explain that. Please subscribe. This is a great show. If you're looking, there's a lot of 0.98

00:17:44.240 stuff going on in the podcast world, right? Okay, in the podcast world, you have people basically

00:17:48.880 talking to each other, yelling at each other, coming up with conspiracy theories. No, this is

00:17:53.540 a show for smart, educated people. If you enjoy this video, you want to watch more videos like
