Valuetainment - “You Can’t Talk To Evil” - Hannity DEFENDS Trump’s Iran Strike After 47 Years Of Failed Negotiations

00:00:00.000 the whole premise of operation well first midnight hammer you know that the iranians are evil 0.95

00:00:06.860 that they chant death to america they chant death to israel they have been the number one 1.00

00:00:12.940 state sponsor of terror they are to me an existential threat i i don't even have the 1.00

00:00:19.240 patience to deal with stupid people that don't understand evil in our time and i think i i see 0.99

00:00:28.460 president trump is learning three historical lessons and i'd love for all three of you to 1.00

00:00:33.040 weigh in on this one he learned from reagan peace through strength two he learned the last hundred

00:00:38.680 years of human history which proved that there was evil and that's mao in china stalin and russia 0.99

00:00:44.880 that's hitler in germany that's mussolini and fascism that's tojo japan that would pull pot 0.72

00:00:51.520 in the killing fields right and over a hundred million souls thomas dead they're gone and the

00:00:59.060 third lesson i think he learned is no quagmires what we can't send our national treasure on the

00:01:06.060 ground for extended periods of time you know in these conflicts and with military with the next

00:01:14.760 generation of weaponry it's now possible but the premise here is thomas i'll ask you this

00:01:18.960 this regime is evil i'm never going to convince those that don't believe that but i believe they

00:01:25.680 are and president trump was smart enough to take this threat away from our children and

00:01:30.020 grandchildren thoughts yeah it was somewhere between you know i didn't vote for new wars

00:01:34.780 okay you don't have to vote for new wars nobody nobody voted for you know disease either right

00:01:40.140 and things happen in life this was necessary um i think everybody has been called to account

00:01:48.100 all the people that want to deny all the things you just said which are all very very correct

00:01:51.740 when they launch a rocket that is now capable of going 4 000 miles you just ask yourself okay what

00:01:59.560 are they going to put on top of that rocket and who who exactly are they going to put it on and

00:02:04.240 once they they have that you know now you're going to have to constantly manage them this is what

00:02:09.960 happened when nobody took north korea seriously and japan's sitting there you know they launched

00:02:14.500 another rocket it's a little bit closer now and they were dropping them in the ocean without

00:02:18.060 warheads showing that hey we're getting better and better and longer and more precise and all 0.68

00:02:23.880 of a sudden oh damn they've enriched uranium too so now not only do they have you know nuclear 0.96

00:02:29.260 capability in north korea now they have built a rocket and they built and built and built and 0.96

00:02:33.900 built with the technology to get there so you sit there and say okay north korea can be managed

00:02:40.560 He could be managed.

00:02:41.840 Even Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-sun, those guys were at least manageable. 0.99

00:02:46.760 You know what I mean, Sean?

00:02:47.700 You get to this regime, it's not manageable.

00:02:51.260 North Korea doesn't say, you know, hey, death to America,

00:02:54.840 and I'm willing to die for it, and we're all going to die for it, 0.98

00:02:56.840 and we're going to set up suicide squads and all that.

00:02:59.400 No. 0.97

00:03:00.460 North Carolina is insane, but they're not insane on, like, you know, 0.97

00:03:05.020 an embroiled faith that every that the the end result is death death death death death it's like 0.87

00:03:12.560 you can't negotiate with it and you look at it so you can't let it be capable and people say no no

00:03:18.480 new wars you shouldn't have done this i don't want new wars i don't want 200 billion dollars that

00:03:23.020 needs to go for other things to go for this i i'm as american as anybody else i don't want that

00:03:27.500 i said but when you look at what's going on there now you see the rocket and say okay

00:03:31.660 all right all you people demonstrating in london do you see that that if you draw a line from

00:03:37.480 diego garcia oh that same line would reach london how do you sleep yeah and when they tell you now

00:03:45.020 they want to do this and now they want to do that oh wait what do you do when they tell you they 0.95

00:03:50.020 don't like that you're persecuting rape gangs in in the uk or we're we're going to bomb you

00:03:57.600 what do you say then what do you say when the bully is fully armed with the ability to deliver 0.96

00:04:02.400 the bomb and the bomb and i think trump has learned all this i take a lot of heat they say

00:04:08.160 oh well there's no new wars and you're just you're just a simp for him no no no i'm not

00:04:12.300 you know my president is not perfect um but i think that this one we got right do we wish that

00:04:19.860 it was easy and as quick as maduro sure we do sure we do but it doesn't mean that that somebody's got

00:04:26.320 to stand up for this and somebody's got to pull it back let me ask let me follow up because i think

00:04:31.980 that a lot of people don't get the trump doctrine yes it's no forever wars but that doesn't mean

00:04:38.560 that we're not going to use the the might and power of the u.s military let's go back he wiped 0.99

00:04:44.420 out isis he took out soleimani baghdad he dropped the mother of all bombs on afghanistan and midnight

00:04:51.600 hammer 14 bunker buster bombs knocked out their ability to enrich uranium so that is not it's not

00:04:59.100 a forever war but it is strategically smart for our long-term security i i i agree with that and

00:05:07.620 like i realized uh multiple things can exist at the same time the regime evil 1000 we spoke about

00:05:15.140 this before the podcast started if somebody had a gun to your head and the and the people sean

00:05:20.100 You're going to represent the Iranian people

00:05:22.420 If somebody has a gun to your head 1.00

00:05:24.420 And they're going to kill you 1.00

00:05:25.960 Do you care who kills the gunmen 1.00

00:05:28.780 Do you care if they're Jewish 1.00

00:05:30.800 Christian, America, tall 0.96

00:05:32.640 Short, transgender, I don't care 1.00

00:05:34.500 I want you to help me kill the person 1.00

00:05:36.760 That has a gun to my head 1.00

00:05:37.740 The Iranian people need this 0.98

00:05:40.600 Okay, that exists

00:05:41.900 Does America and Israel 0.98

00:05:44.020 And all these different people that are involved

00:05:45.900 They have their own agendas

00:05:47.180 Absolutely, absolutely

00:05:48.980 I think the one thing, Sean, which people are going to be weary of is, number one, the trust in the government has been at an all-time low.

00:05:56.760 When they see wars, like when I was in during, after 9-11, we went to Iraq.

00:06:01.440 When they were lied to about weapons of mass destruction.

00:06:03.720 They lied every day.

00:06:04.700 Weapons of mass destruction.

00:06:05.580 Then we showed up, and there was no weapons of mass destruction.

00:06:09.040 That's one of the reasons I left the military.

00:06:10.360 We're like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:06:11.200 You guys lied about they had these weapons of mass destruction?

00:06:14.580 A million people are dead.

00:06:15.940 Thousands of American soldiers are dead.

00:06:17.800 The lie.

00:06:18.360 so i can see the the skepticism of people and the weariness of wait a minute we've heard this before

00:06:24.360 we've seen it before but on the twist side of it sean i'm gonna i have to go everywhere i trust

00:06:29.460 president trump me personally i have clip after clip of 80s night he loves america he always talked

00:06:36.960 crap about about china he's always been about america and i fall victim to this sean we all

00:06:42.740 we do like we talked about who's saying this and who's saying that like we're in those meetings 0.97

00:06:47.720 like we're in the situation room i'm not i don't know i'm not in the chess board looking they are

00:06:54.440 i trust him he loves his country and at the end of the sean we have to wait we're how many weeks

00:06:59.500 into it i think they say that we have a couple weeks left let him just like with the tariffs

00:07:03.380 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

00:07:08.600 some time i said this a couple of months ago let him cook with the tariffs he did a fantastic job

00:07:13.460 until the supreme court freaking cut his legs out from underneath them give him time but we have to

00:07:17.940 understand that a lot of trust when it comes to military and government you have to understand a

00:07:22.340 little bit of the the weariness of the american people yeah i don't want to overcomplicate this

00:07:26.720 so to me it's it comes down to this one thing how long do you negotiate with terrorists we've been 0.98

00:07:33.220 negotiating with this terror regime for 47 years and trump love him or dislike him had the balls 0.82

00:07:40.300 to be like no we're done with these people because if you at what point does negotiation

00:07:46.140 just become normal yeah we're just negotiating again for the last five decades so and then what

00:07:52.120 happens when you're negotiating and their behavior doesn't change so that you need to have some

00:07:57.860 accountability for your bad behavior so this endless negotiation oh we did this we did this

00:08:02.500 we did the iran deal the jcpa are not going to do this but their behavior hasn't changed they're

00:08:07.580 still funding proxies they're still basically shouting death to america and trump he's not

00:08:12.280 playing that game so two more points trump's the art of the deal you know i reread the art of the

00:08:18.420 deal some of the biggest lessons you rate was create leverage and negotiate through strength

00:08:23.380 trump created leverage took out half you know 80 of their military capabilities

00:08:29.180 he's negotiating through strength he took out how many of their top leaders so where what i think

00:08:36.260 because you brought up peace through strength, I think, and I'm going to own this, I think we

00:08:40.960 need to rephrase peace through strength. I think we need to start calling it stability through

00:08:46.100 strength, because the world's never going to have world peace. And we're running around fighting

00:08:50.560 wars thinking that we're going to have peace. What we're solving for is stability. So what's

00:08:55.600 stability? Stability needs to be enforced, right? And if you don't have consequences to your bad

00:09:01.360 actions then what happens so to me trump is running around the world doing what ending hostile

00:09:08.940 regimes to america creating stability do we have stability with venezuela now i think so are we

00:09:15.880 potentially looking at stability with cuba i think that's next are we trying to have stability with

00:09:21.620 russia and ukraine remains to be seen trump is doing his stability through strength mantra

00:09:27.960 in Iran. So you want to replace 1.00

00:09:30.080 Reagan? No one's

00:09:32.060 going to replace Reagan ever, but

00:09:34.180 it's just sort of updated. I want to ask you a

00:09:36.060 question, though. I have a question. Go, please.

00:09:38.040 Go ahead. What's your point?

00:09:41.980 You got me, Sean.

00:09:45.040 That's what we're

00:09:46.240 doing. Different hosts, same line.

00:09:52.100 to ask all of you guys. When Midnight Hammer was the

00:10:07.120 american that's going to work going wait wait you guys said we knocked that out during the summer 0.97

00:10:12.200 now what changed now they have enriched you somewhere else because at the end of the day

00:10:16.780 sean this is where i i know people are upset this was sold as we're doing it for the iranian people

00:10:23.620 like and i'm really putting myself there because i know people from iran and my mom who's sitting

00:10:27.700 there sean that you met she's from iran they all the people that would have been massacred in the

00:10:32.040 streets that were fighting that trump said guys go and fight and do it and and i love them for 0.66

00:10:36.720 them god rest all their souls a wrestler they hanged last week for for freaking protesting and 0.54

00:10:42.220 doing what he was doing and god bless him for doing it i like you have to understand i don't 0.88

00:10:46.280 the people are like well okay we can't we haven't heard from the people because they have no internet

00:10:50.740 Now we're saying, oh, they have uranium and all that stuff.

00:10:53.920 You have to understand that the people are like, I thought we took all that out in the summer.

00:10:57.760 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?

00:11:04.780 Do you think their military is going to go, oh, you guys, oh, America is putting this guy in?

00:11:08.940 Yeah, we're going to follow him.
