Clay Travis
Now we are joined by the one and only Sean Hannity of all things. Sean Hannity, the huge TV show, the huge radio show.
- [03:47]
Sean Hannity
I got a lot of, I got praise for both you guys to get started. And I'm not sucking up, but I'm kind of sucking up. Buck, you have no idea how much your book blew me away. It was so interesting. I'm so interested in the topic and I don't know if you could tell when you're on my radio show, but this has been an obsession of mine for years that I don't often talk about. And that's like psychopolitics, manipulation, hypnotism, mass hypnosis. You know, you wonder, how do we lose 100 million people in the last century? And you know, how come these people, you know, will do their Heil Hitlers or these lunatics in Iran, whatever. But it was so well done. I learned so much from your book. It took it to another level. Great job, Clay. I have, by the way, Buck, just so you know, I gave him a layup bet for the Super Bowl. A layup because I really wanted Robert Kraft's team to win just because it would irritate everybody. And I like Robert Kraft, but everybody kind of knew it was an uphill battle to beat Seattle. So I said, okay, I've won every other bet. I'll give you this one. I didn't even get points from this guy. And he wins. And he's like bragging that I owe him a Million dollars.
- [05:05]
Buck Sexton
It's true. I mean, you've been in hiding ever since. I don't know where you are right now.
- [05:11]
Sean Hannity
Well, where is all the money that you owe me from every other time, by the way?
- [05:16]
Buck Sexton
Can we start here? Before, you said, Buck's book is amazing, and that was your compliment for Manufacturing Delusion. Manufacturing Delusion for me was that you gave me a bet that I couldn't lose. I was like, hey, but it is Sean on weekly.
- [05:36]
Clay Travis
We need Sean on at least once a week.
- [05:38]
Sean Hannity
Clay, I had no idea that your Outkick show was on my cable system because I don't use the channel a lot. I watch Fox. I keep Fox all the time on because I'm working all the time, and. And then one night, I'm just flipping around, Flipping around. Of course there's nothing. Then boom, there you are. And I got to watch your podcast out kick show on my cable network. I couldn't believe it. It was great.
- [06:07]
Buck Sexton
Yeah, we've got a weekly show now on FS1. They've done a good job of putting that thing on. They let me, you know, sit down and make whatever arguments I want. And I. I don't know. I should have thought of it, I guess. All right, so let's dive into a bunch here. I. I can't. But let me hit you with this, Sean. Cause this just came down. You spent a long time in New York City until, like Buck, you decided that you had to leave and go to Florida to. To a much better place. But Bill Mallusion just tweeted this, like, literally four minutes ago. The New York City terror suspect, one of them, Amir Balat, and I might be mispronouncing that name. Was arrested for throwing an IED loaded with nuts, bolts, and other objects.
- [06:53]
Clay Travis
He pledged explosive. Just to be clear, that's what TATP is.
- [06:57]
Buck Sexton
Tatp. He pledged allegiance to ISIS while in NYPD custody, saying, all praise is due to Allah, lord of all worlds. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. Die in your rage, you. And I don't even know if this is an insult.
- [07:14]
Clay Travis
Kuffar. Kuffar means non believers, non believer.
- [07:17]
Buck Sexton
This isn't a religion that just stands. When people talk about the blessed name of the Prophet, we take action. All of those comments caught on NYPD body cameras, Sean. This is just happened in New York City, Gracie Mansion. They tried Mamdani did to say, oh, this is white supremacists. I mean, this is what a lot of people, I think, are afraid of when they see what's happening in the country, certainly while this attack on Iran is going on.
- [07:46]
Sean Hannity
Look, this has been a fear of mine now for a long, long time. This is why I obsessively, compulsively, repetitively, by design, pointed out the danger during the four years of Biden of, of unfettered immigration. Absolutely no vetting of these people from over 200 countries, including many countries with terror ties. Now, in this case, my understanding is that both Americans, they're young and we'll get to the toxic online environment that is, I believe, is purposely designed to influence young people. And people have to be very careful with their kids are doing. However, we still have known terrorists in this country. We have people in this country that didn't get vetted from Iran right now. You know, do I worry about sleeper cells? Yeah. I was in New York City on 9, 1101. I lost friends that day. You know, 2,977Americans died that day. And this is what frustrates me about online culture is a lot of people, first of all, it's cancerous. I mean, if you want to feel horrible about yourself, either one of you start reading comments about what people say about you and you know, you have these, these anonymous keyboard warriors in their parents basement and their underwear. You know, that can say any incendiary thing they want and influence people. Now that, that's fine for us. We, this is the business we chose that comes with it. But for young people, if they're being bullied online, it can have a profound impact on them. Here's another problem we have. Like you see this rise of antisemitism, I find it disgustingly ignorant on so many fronts. And we've got to understand that Russia and countries like Iran and other countries, they are inundating and targeting young people with propaganda. It's a lie that Bibi Netanyahu caused Donald Trump to take action. I've known Donald Trump over 30 years. Donald Trump is a man of his own mind, I promise you. And if he didn't think it was in America's best interest to be involved in this conflict, he wouldn't be. The difference between Trump and every person before him, and I think this is important, is that Donald Trump understands history. And I wrote a whole book about this years ago in 2004 called Deliver Us From Evil, Defeating Terrorism, Despotism and Liberalism. And I went through the history of the last century. My father, for example, fought four years in the Pacific. And if you look at Mao, China, Stalin, Russia, Hitler, Germany, Fascism, Italy, Tojo, Japan and Pol Pot in the killing fields, over 100 million human souls were defeated. Donald Trump's been very clear. The Iranians cannot have nuclear weapons. And that's what Operation Midnight Hammer was about. Now, Operation Epic Fury, we're going to finish the job. The most interesting interview, besides the one I had with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu last week was with the Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff and Wyckoff. This is what they offered the Iranians because Trump kept saying publicly, I'd much rather have a deal. I don't want to do this. And the Iranians were offered civilian, low grade enriched uranium for civilian purposes, for free, in perpetuity, in other words. But they didn't want that deal because they wanted to pursue their nuclear ambitions. Now, what is the ISIS caliphate? The ISIS caliphate, their motto was convert or die. And in this case, you know, you're dealing with a regime. Death to Israel, death to America. What is Donald Trump really trying to accomplish here? He said it a couple of times and people don't want to focus on it. He wants to make sure our children and our grandchildren don't inherit a nuclear armed Iran with the possibility that millions and millions of human souls will, will perish because of the fanaticism that is driving them beyond all sense and logic to pursue nuclear weapons when the world doesn't trust them, nor should they be in the number one state sponsor of terror. So it is an existential long term threat to the world. And Donald Trump, unlike every predecessor of his, had the willingness to take it on. He's defeating it. No military effort is easy, but he's learned the lessons of history that so many others have not.
- [12:39]
Clay Travis
Sean, can I ask you, can I ask you about that? Because I think you're in a particularly special place to. Here's, here's what we got right now. Ok. With the Iran thing going on, we're speaking to Sean Hannity for anyone who's joining us in progress. Sean, we know that war or aerial campaigns, however, someone, so someone wants to describe this, things can go wrong. We're talking about kinetic strikes, we're talking about military activity. We have a lot of people who are obviously just like your listeners, huge Trump supporters. They are concerned right now about boots on the ground. We're hearing it all the time, boots on the ground. They're concerned that somehow Trump has been misled, that Trump and Pete Hegseth, who you know very well, we know very well that he's forgotten the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan, et cetera. What do you say to your listeners and therefore, what do you say to the Trump faithful out there, when people are saying to you, yeah, of course, I'm with Trump on so much that he's doing, but I'm worried that he would make a mistake here. What do you say to those people?
- [13:37]
Sean Hannity
Look, they've left open the door. The possibility, if only under the most extreme circumstances, if needed, would any boots be on the ground? I would imagine the boots on the ground would probably be to protect oil executives, because assuming that all those people that were taking to the streets to. To stand up against this rogue regime and were being mowed down by the tens of thousands, that there's got to be a transition and it's got to be quick, and it's got to kind of duplicate what the president was able to pull off in Venezuela. But they've got to have infrastructure and money to build out their economy again and hopefully be America's best trading part, which is why I'm confident. But if you want to know what Donald Trump is going to do in the future, look at what he's done in the past. He wiped out the ISIS caliphate, no boots on the ground. He took out Soleimani, he took out Baghdadi, dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan, took out. Dropped 14 bunker buster bombs and Midnight Hammer, and took out the nuclear facilities. Now he's finishing the job because they will not give up that ambition. And this is now the final step. What is the president's thinking on it? The president's main thinking is, I'm not going to leave this job without creating a safer America for future generations. That's what he's thinking now. The Trump doctrine is pretty clear. If I had to guess, he's getting out of there, the hell out of there as quickly as possible. And there will be economic benefits for America long term. And, you know, this week is. This war is a little over a week old. I mean, and the American attention span is ridiculous. Now, the online chatter and the people that were wrong every other time about President Trump and his economic programs, his past military endeavors, you know, they live to create chaos on the name of Donald Trump. You know, Democrats are openly cheering. I mean, Hakeem Jeffries, we're going to lose this war. No, we're not. We're not going to lose it. And it's not going to be a forever war. That, I can tell you, is foremost in Trump's mind. It's definitely difficult. I think the most difficult part of this military effort is going to be the transition part, and that's transitioning into hopefully what will be a democratic republic. But even the president said that's ultimately going to be up to the Iranian people. And at some point he's going to tell them to come out of their homes into the streets. And our hope is the remaining remnants, loyalists to the old regime, are going to drop their weapons and join the people and look for a better future for the people in Iran. I mean, the Persian people have a history of unbelievable success and a great culture, and they want to go back to the pre1979 revolution days.
- [16:47]
Buck Sexton
Sean, you got an interview going up with, with Stephen A. Smith about whether he might run for president in 28. I know you guys have been friends for a long time. What did you learn there? How can people find it?
- [17:00]
Sean Hannity
Well, wherever you get your, you know, video podcast, you can find it there. We have a lot of great people. Bill de Blasio, believe it or not, sat with me for an hour and a half. I think it's. And it's, it's just different. It's fun. It's not as political. We just keep it real. And John Fetterman sat down with me. Rhonda Santa sat down with me. You're going to like this, Clay. Matthew Chuck is going to with me. I'm looking forward to that. I'm a huge hockey fan, as you know. I have season tickets to the Panthers. They've struggled all year because of injuries, unfortunately, but I'm hoping they might make the playoffs. Two time Stanley cup champions. I think you lost that bet too, but let's talk about it. But anyway, so it drops tomorrow, the first episode, wherever you get your, your podcast, it's just so different than radio and what I do on radio, what I do on tv, it's just fun to do. I really enjoy it. I'm looking forward. When you guys are in town, I'd love to have you both on the show. We could talk about Clay's book, how often that Clay. We could talk about bucks booking and how often Clay loses best with me. I think that'll be very riveting.
- [18:13]
Buck Sexton
This is good for him.
- [18:14]
Clay Travis
Just, you know, Sean, because Clay unfortunately is already celebrating a bet that he thinks he's one with me before we even know having to do with Kamala. So the, the little dose of humility that you give to Clay on his betting, this is, it's music to my ears.
- [18:27]
Buck Sexton
Very nice. Made a bad bet. He said that Kamala was not in a row. Yeah, you did win a bunch of bets in a row. But Buck said that Kamala was not going to to run, but I'm very confident that she's running. She has nothing else in her life. Sean, you've got a lot in your life. You got the new show. You've got your show that comes on right after this one. Many of the same stations. We appreciate everybody listening all day and then the show tonight. We'll be watching.
- [18:53]
Sean Hannity
Yeah, we'll be watching. Listen, I want to have you guys on the. On the podcast, and I think we'll have a great time. And it goes anytime it goes. And we got cars and cigars and anything you want on the set. It's fun.
- [19:05]
Buck Sexton
So we're there. We appreciate you, my man. Keep up the good work. I don't know if we lost Sean there, but it is worth noting that Sean has been running and hiding quite a lot since he's now losing bets.
- [19:18]
Clay Travis
No, I think it's more like he's a superhero who just threw the smoke bomb for the dramatic exit.
- [19:23]
Buck Sexton
We'll come back. You heard me give Sean that latest information on the arrest warrants and details that have come out in the indictments
- [19:32]
Clay Travis
of those you left out a big one by. I'm not you left out, but I'm saying we left out one big one that I want to tell everybody from the indictment. Clay, that's. Wow.
- [19:41]
Buck Sexton
Yeah, we will hit that when we come back. In the meantime, let me paint a picture of what's happening in Israel right now. Nighttime sirens blaring. You have only seconds to organize your family, run for a bomb shelter. Now, imagine you're elderly. You don't move as fast. Getting downstairs, upstairs, all that stuff is so difficult. And. And then you're in a bomb shelter for hours. That's what's happening across Israel as Operation Epic Fury continues. Kids traumatized, families exhausted, homes destroyed. That's what the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is all about. They're on the ground bringing food, emergency equipment, care for kids, and help for the elderly. I've seen the work that they do. It is life saving. It makes a tremendous difference in Israel. You can join Buck and me and be a part of this and give $45 right now to Rush Life Saving essentials to the vulnerable in Israel that are currently under fire. 888-488 IFCJ. That's 888488 IFCJ.

Clay Travis
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. So look, we're talking about this looks like a terror attack in New York City. I think that's what you call it when crazy ISIS inspired maniacs are throwing a bomb that has tatp, which is a homemade peroxide based explosive. Classic from the how to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom. The Inspire magazine by Al Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula. They talk. They taught people how to do the pressure cooker stuff, how to make homemade bombs using that. Also, TATP is. It's effectively a home homemade explosive. It's not hard to do. Way back in the day, when I was in the agency, we had a whole homemade explosives class that we learned about. Now I've forgotten everything. Some old. But once you learn how to do this stuff, it's not hard. And it's very effective. It's very effective to create these, these improvised explosive devices. And they wrapped it with ball bearings so they knew they're creating a shrapnel effect. I mean, this is an ied, my friend. This is what this is. And that's why the NYPD is taking it so very seriously. It is. It is the same as if they had rolled a hand grenade into this crowd. And the hand grenade, you know, the fuse didn't go, it didn't hit the explosive chain properly. That's what this is. And I mentioned this before because Clay read off a few of the things in the indictment that were caught, just to be clear. Also another Clay, body cameras, once again.
- [27:33]
Buck Sexton
Yep.
- [27:33]
Clay Travis
If you don't have body cameras, it's the cops said he said it, but did he really say it? Everyone heard him say it, but did he really say it? Well, it's caught on video. So these guys said, all praise is due to Allah of all worlds. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. Die in your rage, you kafar, which, as I explained, is a. Is a derogatory term for non Muslim, in fact. And this gets into jihadism. I'm going back into the jiwad jiwad era here. But they would. They would call this the takfiri clay, where Muslims, in order to get around the Islamic prohibition on killing fellow Muslims, would say, would claim takfir, which means that that Muslim is outside of the religion and no longer protected as a Muslim because they're not a true believer. So these were called the takfiris in jihadist circles. And so they would also, they would even call fellow Muslims kuffar, non believers, because they had. They had used takfir, and they were of this sect. So the idea is, I can kill anybody I want if I'm A crazy jihadist, because unless you're part of my team, you're not really a real Muslim. That was the idea, but here's what was said. Additionally, caught on video camera in the indictment, one of these guys, Balat, stated they wanted to carry out an attack bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing, which Balat noted caused only three deaths. These are. So let's just, just by way of review here, my friends protest in New York City saying we're scared about the Islamification of New York and there's too much jihadism and terrorism here. And jihadist terrorists show up to try to blow up the protests with bombs because they're saying, how dare you say that we're terrorists, more or less.
- [29:26]
Buck Sexton
This is what I couldn't. I couldn't get over when I saw this story. There's also one of the charged terrorists would be terrorists. He used. And I'm reading this is an account because I shared this, an account from. He used one of the counter protesters chanting that diversity is our strength as a springboard to throw the bomb. Like, Buck, look at this video.
- [29:59]
Clay Travis
Diversity is our strength. Allahu Akbar.
- [30:01]
Sean Hannity
I will kill all of you.
- [30:02]
Clay Travis
Really, that's where we are.
- [30:04]
Buck Sexton
This is really what happened. If you watch this video, Geiger Capital, which sometimes funny says it's absolutely perfect. A liberal man in New York City yelling about how everyone is welcome as a Muslim man yells Allahu Akbar and uses him as a literal springboard to throw a homemade bomb. The West's suicidal empathy on video. And you can sort of see the guy who just got used as the springboard looking around like, wait a minute, what's going on here? He's saying, diversity is our strength. We welcome everyone. We're so glad to have you here. And a would be terrorist uses his shoulder to propel himself higher so he can throw the bomb further. It's just, it's such a perfect metaphor. This is Buck, when, again, when I saw this, I was skeptical because it's rarely that exactly what you are protesting is immediately proven to be a valid point of protest. Now here's the other thing, though. Do you know what would have happened if these bombs had gone off? The people who died would be. This is the way they would be covered. They would have provoked the Muslim terror act. And they would.
- [31:24]
Clay Travis
Their skirts were too short. Their skirts were too short.
- [31:27]
Buck Sexton
Exactly what the argument would be. They would say if these bombs. Thankfully, they did not go off. If they had gone off and they had killed people who were protesting. If that had happened, they would say, oh, they Brought this on themselves. Just like many of them on the left tried to say about Charlie Kirk. Immediate. Like literally within an hour of Charlie Kirk being assassinated, people said, well, this is what his rhetoric caused. And to Buck's point, it is you deserve to get raped if your shirt, if your skirt is too short. I mean, that's basically you're blaming someone who is a victim of a crime that they had no involvement on at all. There was some idiot go to.
- [32:10]
Clay Travis
Did you see this? Some idiot city councilman, I think, from Manhattan or something. I forget. I used to live there. But I can't keep track. All these politicians, local politicians who do nothing. But he essentially indicated with it, with a tweet, that the problem, that the cause of violence was the protesters, not the counter protest, of course. So that was the real problem were the people that are saying, hey, we got too many Islamic terrorists in the city. I'm worried about it. Not the Islamic terrorists who show up with the bomb with ball bearings to rip through people's, you know, arms as you possibly can.

And again, this is important too. Let's say they had a gun. Sometimes people can engage. Well, you have, you know, heat of the moment. The heat of the moment, you can decide to engage in an act that you didn't anticipate if you always carry a gun, for instance. Right. I don't think very many people make bombs and go and then are provoked when you make a bomb. It's pretty premeditated. And by the way, Elon Musk has now responded here too, about this guy on videotape who's talking about diversity is our strength and everybody is welcome here. Being used as a footstool by a homicidal maniac probably didn't change that libtards suicidal empathy views at all. Death of the west is what they all want. And I do think this is where you kind of get to the scary part here. There is such a lack of willingness to acknowledge good and evil that many people on the left have so bought into the idea, and this is why all this matters, that America is the bad guy, that they cannot conceptualize or comprehend true evil when it exists. And so many of you have friends and family that you see engaging in this line of thought. This is why American history matters. This is why the way that we talk about our nation matters. This is why Western civilization being celebrated as a good thing matters. Because if you do not endorse that view, then you have lost the ability to see good and evil. And even in that moment, I would like to Hear from this guy who was used as a propulsion device to throw this bomb. He should sit back and say, wait a minute. Maybe people who have different opinions than me are not the real evil. Maybe people throwing bombs are the real evil evil. And yet there is this cognitive inability. I know you wrote about it, Buck, but I do think this is one of the real downsides among many of the collapse of religion. It has forced many people to buy into anti Americanism as their religion. And instead of, instead of finding something to pour your heart and soul and energy and effort into that empty vessel, they have decided its politics and in particular anti American politics, and it's destroying the country.

Well, this is in that book that Sean Hannity gave such kind words about manufacturing delusion, which a lot of you have bought, but not all of you. And I had to say, why not? Because it's such an excellent book, Clay. I get into identity construction, one of the chapters. And creating a world in which you are the victim even as you are victimizing is so powerful, you know, and this, this is right, right at the heart of Palestinian ideology with Hamas and dealing with Israel, you're the victim. Even when you're walking into a crowded pizzeria with a suicide vest on to kill everybody there you never even met before, you're, you're the victim while you're the guy doing that. That is the ideology, that is the construct, the identity construction that they engage in. And, and obviously there's no accountability to this and no ethics or morality to it whatsoever. And that's what you have here as well with these people who are showing up there. They have convinced themselves that they have to do this because if they don't throw a bomb into a protest, then these people are coming for them next. You know, then, then the Kufar will march on them. They're insane.

This is also a couple of things also that are important reports that this. I call him a kid because to me, if you're, you know, 19, 20 years old, to me you're still a kid because I'm getting older. But this kid grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs in a million dollar home. So his parents were immigrants. He grew up in a million dollar home. He had all the benefits of America, all the benefits of American education, and went online and as many people do, his brain was polluted there to the point where he decides that he's going to try to blow up a protest in New York City.

Terrorism comes from ideology and emotional response to messaging. It's not about deprivation. It's not about poverty. It's not about lack of options. That's. This has all been debunked and refuted and dealt with. And I mean, in the classical terrorism analysis of the last, you know, few decades, they've looked into all of this. The reason, there's a reason why a lot of terrorists are called like, you know, the engineer. There's a reason why a lot of terrorists have advanced degrees. You know, Osama bin Laden was super rich. His. His number two was a medical doctor. Like, these are not people that grew up in some. In some hut with no running water and they had no choice but to do this. That's actually not the root cause of terrorism, to your point. Sometimes they're very. I mean, look at bin Laden. Sometimes they're incredibly wealthy.

And let's play this. Cut. As we get ready to go to break two, Buck here is. We actually have the audio of the liberal man in New York City arguing that everybody should be welcome in America as a terrorist jumps using his back as a springboard to throw what he hopes is going to be an explosive device to kill as many people as possible.

and then tell everyone. You can hear the scream as people recognize that there has just been what was supposed to be an explosive device thrown as this left wing New Yorker is standing there with a megaphone arguing that we want everyone in the country and that we don't want anyone kicked out. I mean, it really is. I mean, it is actually a perfect distillation of how this worldview is incompatible with this other worldview, Western civilization, in many ways.

Got a lot of different talkbacks on a variety of topics, and there's still people mad at me for saying the truth. The Tesla is amazing, and I understand that some of you live in the 1900s and you're never going to move into the 2000s. But here's something that I believe is true. The iPhone has been buck. I bet you would agree with me on this, the most transformative addition to the average American life in the 21st century. If I asked you since 2000, what has changed life more than the iPhone, would you probably agree with me? IPhone most transformative?

I think Tesla Self Drive is as impressive and potentially headed to be more transformative than the iPhone. When you think about it now, the iPhone's been out since I think like 2006 or something. So we've had 20 years of applications associated with the iPhone. For instance, Uber, you know, wouldn't exist if the iPhone hadn't existed First. In other other words, businesses built on top of it. Tesla self drive is the most incredible technological advancement I believe in the 21st century. If you haven't experienced it, trust me, I'm not getting paid anything on this. It is unbelievable.

It's built here. It is. It is an amazing vehicle. It is. Maybe. I think there is a strong argument that Elon is the most successful capitalist in the history of capitalism. He is.

That.

AOC of all people, had the audacity to accuse Elon Musk of not having accomplished anything. When SpaceX goes public. If you look at Starlink rocket ships, Tesla, the boring company, they're drilling right now in Nashville so you can get to the airport faster. My hometown. I don't think there's anyone who's ever done more in capitalism than Elon. And again, and I'm just telling you, if you like tech at all, go. You can do it for free. Self drive. Take a ride and check it out and tell me that you aren't blown away. It's like being in the future. When I'm in my Tesla, I don't drive. I let it auto drive for me. You got teenage kids like I do. It's way safer than them. Driving it is maybe the greatest invention of the 21st century. When we come back, Buck, have you seen these TSA lines that are that are occurring all over the country? This is ridiculous. We've got to get this ended. There's still a shutdown, believe it or not, because of Democrats. We'll talk about it next.
