00:00Welcome to Hannity and we've got a busy news night this Monday tonight Eric Adams out of the
00:09race for New York City mayor has concerns about crime in that city continue to grow
00:14now conservative influencer a young woman by the name of Savannah Craven Antown was punched
00:22in the face during a man on the street interview in Manhattan oh what did Alvin Bragg do what did
00:28its DA office to they let this look at this punch watch this punch out of nowhere she's just
00:34interviewing her boom boom look at that anyway uh let the assailant walk missed a key evidence
00:42filing deadline pretty unbelievable now also tonight as we continue and roll forward is she
00:48going to sue the city over this she will join us tonight and tell us her story also a woman
00:52attempting to protest ice in Massachusetts let's just call it instant karma can't make this up take a look
01:00oops I'm here to protest ice I don't know what what it means to put a car in park
01:11but first tonight it is shutdown showdown we are 27 hours away from another government shutdown
01:18shutdown and there is just one party uh that is political to blame and that would be the democrats
01:23led by senate minority leader in name only that would be democrat chucky schumer and the house
01:29minority leader in name only hakeem jeffries uh two guys from brooklyn new york have been in the past
01:36big opponents of government shutdowns over the years here's a reminder of how much it has mattered
01:41to them in the first place and in the past take a look
01:44it is not normal to shut down the government when we don't get what we want
01:52if the government shuts down it will be average americans who suffer most
01:56a government shutdown means seniors who rely on social security could be thrown into chaos
02:02families will be hurt farmers will be hurt
02:05it's the service members who will work without a paycheck it's the firefighters who will be furloughed
02:12this shutdown you know who's gonna feel the pain you know who it hurts you everyday people
02:18and the most vulnerable seniors veterans working families hungry kids y'all
02:23democrats are signaling they're ready for a fight this time schumer tells the associated press
02:33quote things have changed it is not normal to shut down the government when we don't get what we want
02:39ah democrats have a favorite method of keeping the government open something known as a clean cr
02:47continuing resolution it just keeps the government funding at current levels no strings attached keep
02:53funding the government nobody gets laid off uh essential and non-essential services continue
02:58schumer loves clean crs so much he once demanded one from president trump back during
03:03donald trump's first term he even just ushered one through the senate earlier in the year to avoid
03:09a government shutdown guess what schumer's radical leftist base they turned on him like no tomorrow
03:15they did not like the fact that he did the very thing that he is champion for his entire career
03:21keeping the government open at all costs but now the party that he leads in name only
03:26he has zero power chuck knows he would face a primary challenge from aoc at any moment
03:32he must obey his radical base and the same goes for hakeem jeffries another leader in name only
03:39so here we are a government shutdown is looming the house passes a clean cr schumer's favorite thing
03:46hakeem jeffries favorite thing and guess what they're suddenly opposed chucky's saying everything has
03:52changed now house speaker mike johnson called him out today and vice president vance said uh well we
03:58appeared to be headed for a real shutdown take a look the original thing they did with this
04:02negotiation it was a 1.5 trillion dollar spending package basically saying to the american people
04:07we want to give massive amounts of money hundreds of billions of dollars to illegal aliens for their
04:12health care while americans are struggling to pay their health care bills that was their initial
04:17foray into this negotiation we thought it was absurd we told them it was absurd and now they come
04:22in here uh it's saying that if you don't give us everything that we that we want we're going to
04:27shut down the government during the biden administration there were 13 threatened shutdowns
04:31the republicans in the minority did the right thing we kept the government open we're simply asking for
04:36the democrats do the same all right chucky schumer saying he's done with no strings suddenly
04:42he's very into strings a lot of them and it's very expensive but since he knows that he must bow at the
04:49altar of the radicals that really run his party in order to keep his job now he wants 1.5 trillion
04:56dollars tied to a mere four-week cr now schumer and his democratic friends they want free health care
05:04for illegals as part of that deal which is interesting because democrats used to be totally
05:09against free health care and benefits for illegals let's take another trip down memory lane i promise
05:16you're not going to see this in the legacy media mob fake news cnn or msdnc take a look
05:21this is an anti-fraud amendment all over where we go people say well why can't you stop
05:29illegal immigrants or others from coming here and the number one answer we give our constituents is
05:37when they come here they can get jobs get benefits against the law because of fraud
05:42and then finally as to illegal aliens we agree with you that um we do not think the comprehensive
05:49health care benefits should be extended to those who are undocumented workers and illegal aliens we do
05:54not want to do anything to encourage more illegal immigration into this country we know now that too
06:01many people come in for medical care as it is we certainly don't want them having the same benefits
06:06that american citizens are entitled to have oh schumer and hillary ronham clinton no health care for
06:15illegals now the schumer and the democrats want pbs npr they want to get all of their funding back
06:21uh they for some reason want to cancel out all of the money given to rural hospitals in the one big
06:28beautiful bill and yeah they want all of us to keep funding woke programs all over the world let's bring
06:35back that spending and then the democrats want something else as well and this is important
06:40they want an extension of joe biden's obamacare subsidies they were designed to be a temporary
06:46measure during covet a health emergency what does that mean well thanks to the brilliance of obamacare
06:53anyone in america doesn't have health insurance legal or illegal basically has two options get on
06:59government funded medicaid or buy a plan on the obamacare exchange unfortunately most of those
07:05obamacare exchange plans are basically useless they cost a ton of money and they cover almost nothing and
07:12remember until donald trump came along there was a major tax penalty for any american that didn't have
07:18obamacare people were being forced by the government to buy a lousy product as part of joe biden's
07:25america rescue plan well that's the two trillion dollars that he dropped into the economy at the
07:31start of his term to quote spike inflation while the government heavily subsidized the cost of those
07:38obamacare exchange plans and medicaid and instead of improving the products as a result democrats decided
07:44the government would pay for it now and those subsidies are expiring and guess what republicans are not
07:50going to fund it democrats want oh let's pay all this health care in in perpetuity basically universal
07:57health care and by the way that would be trillions of dollars in exchange for keeping the government
08:02open for what a mere four weeks it's never going to happen and i'm going to be probably the only
08:08consistent one i don't care if the government shuts down our military will still be defending us
08:14we'll still have border patrol working we'll have law enforcement working uh we will also have
08:20social security and medicaid provided to the elderly in this country those in need will get their
08:26checks etc uh doesn't doesn't scare me never has never will but schumer the democrats they better be
08:33careful here shutting down the government means the white house and the office of management and budget
08:39omb they got a lot of control over what will stay open and what will be closed essential services our
08:45military again they will continue but for all those deep state bureaucrats in dc many of which probably
08:52need to move to the public sector you might actually be looking at the greatest well economic
08:58washington bureaucracy jujitsu in history and that would be doge 2.0 so good luck chuck good luck
09:06be careful what you wish for here with more speaker of the house mike johnson mr speaker you
09:11were there today in the media with the president how'd it go it went well sean by the way thanks
09:18for playing the highlight reel tonight their their hypocrisy is just breathtaking and it's shameless
09:23and it was on display in the oval office credit president trump showing real leadership he's
09:27operating in good faith and and that was on display by bringing the leaders in he heard the uh the
09:33arguments and the debates they're they're baseless i mean chuck schumer is now arguing exactly the
09:38opposite of what he has always said in his career and why you you hit the the the uh the nail right
09:44on the head sean he's doing it at a political desperation he is willing to force the government
09:49to shut down just to oppose president trump for temporary political cover for himself and he will
09:55abandon the american people just to do that it's really it's really something to watch are they still
10:00clinging to everything on my list have they given in on anything yet no and i fully expected that
10:08they would come into the white house today and be reasonable but they weren't they dug their heels in
10:12it's painfully obvious that he's got to watch his back because the young socialists are coming for him
10:18aoc and the others who want to challenge him for his seat and that is 100 what chuck schumer and
10:24hakeem jeffries by extension are watching for their own political cover and they will they will
10:29exact all this damage that we just heard them say in their own words in previous years they are willing
10:34to do it just so they get political cover they haven't backed off on any of those demands sean you
10:38had it right they want to give they want to take hard-earned taxpayer dollars and they want to give
10:43new benefits to illegal aliens we we eliminated that in our big beautiful bill they want to bring it back
10:49they want to they want to prop up npr and pbs they want 500 million dollars that's their demand
10:54in their counter offer to prop up the corporation for public broadcasting again we're not doing that
10:59left-leaning media outlets don't need to be funded by taxpayers they want to spend one and a half
11:03trillion dollars on a simple seven week stop get funding measure so our appropriators can get back
11:10to the job of just just funding the government and it's really a crazy thing to watch i mean it's
11:16kind of um i don't know orwellian because they came out and were acting somewhat optimistic like they
11:22might get what they want you're telling me there's no way in hell i think i know donald trump pretty
11:27well i've known him about 30 years uh there's no way in hell donald trump is giving in on any one of
11:32those issues it's not going to happen no way no way and he wanted to give them a forum in the oval
11:39office to come in and try to be reasonable and they weren't they wouldn't back off on any of these
11:44crazy demands so let me tell you something there is zero daylight between the white house the president
11:49united states and republicans in the senate in the house we are all united on this we're going to do
11:53the right thing remember this sean we passed the clean simple cr out of the house two weeks ago
11:58every single democrat in the house except one voted to shut the government down i mean they're
12:03willing to do it they're willing to exact all this pain and by the way while you mentioned some of the
12:07things that will continue defense and all that troops don't get paid during the shutdown okay um and
12:12and very importantly health care they want to talk about health care if they don't fund the
12:16government guess what does stop the wick program that's women infants and children nutrition program
12:22won't be funded we won't have fema funded right we've got we've got hurricanes hurricane season we've
12:27got two off the coast of the united states right now fema service is not funded telemedicine mental
12:31health services all these things that the american people need and and they won't be able to access if
12:36the democrats go through with this so i certainly pray they don't they have another chance because leader
12:41thune is going to put the house bill on the senate floor again tomorrow and probably again on
12:45wednesday and we'll chip see if chuck schumer goes along with this well as i said one day two hours
12:5147 minutes and five seconds and it's over uh the government will be officially shut down and donald
12:57trump will have a big say in what stays and what goes uh speaker johnson thank you we appreciate your
13:02time also tonight a plan for peace president trump unveiled his 20 point plan to end the war in gaza at
13:09the white house today with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the leaders of the major
13:15muslim nations in the middle east they are signing on right away now it's all in the hands of hamas
13:23hamas whose charter calls for the destruction of israel hamas who also attacked israel and killed
13:291200 israelis based on their population size versus ours that would be 20 000 americans killed in a single
13:36day they took all of these people hostage uh we still think they have many hostages about 20 we
13:43expect israel thinks is alive and they cling to them two years later there was murder rape torture
13:50kidnapping beheading i'm not sure i wish some people more people would go to israel see the network of
13:57terror tunnels that i've been in go to go to border cities cities like stutter out uh when i went there
14:03they've been hit with 10 000 rockets in 10 years go to the underground playground bunkers with young
14:09kids play in because that's the only place they can play because you can see gaza with the naked eye
14:14in israel and it only takes 12 seconds for a rocket to land there imagine one little town border town 10
14:20000 rockets in 10 years now israel is making major concessions here releasing some 2 000 prisoners
14:27granting amnesty to hamas terrorists who promise to live in peace i don't trust them giving up
14:33control of the gaza strip yet again and allowing it to be economically developed massive concessions
14:40on the part of the israelis a lot of risk for israel hamas must return all hostages that are alive
14:46fully demilitarized gaza israel has agreed and now this final warning for hamas this deal is never
14:54going to get better than this now if you're part of the terror group hamas and you do not agree to this
15:01deal you will find out exactly what happened to iran on day 51 after president trump gave them 50
15:08days to come to the table and talk about getting rid of the nuclear program well president trump and
15:13prime minister netanyahu agreed either hamas will take this deal now or israel will wipe them out
15:20either entirely it's their choice what happens next will be on them hamas now controls its own destiny
15:27here with reaction former white house press secretary ari fleischer former white house chief of staff
15:32mark meadows ari start with you um well to me it's all in hamas's hands the president's done all he can
15:38do uh i am actually surprised that that prime minister netanyahu was willing to go as far as he went
15:44uh in the name of peace uh arab nations are jumping on board they want this to happen to the region what
15:51happens john you just said the most remarkable part about this arab nations are strongly supportive
15:57of this there was a joint statement issued today by some seven arab nations right in the middle east
16:02jordan egypt the united arab emirates turkey a host of arab nations announced their support for what
16:08president trump announced today with benjamin netanyahu israel's for it the united states is for it
16:13who isn't hamas we have yet to hear from hamas and it starts with hamas releasing all the
16:20hostages an act of humanity is that beyond them i suspect it is sean and that's why i suspect hamas
16:26won't release the hostages won't take advantage of this they've never wanted peace they want eternal
16:32struggle against the state of israel that's all they've ever wanted well it's in their charter that's
16:39what they have been pursuing uh i mean israel's been surrounded by enemies you know hundreds of
16:44thousands of rockets over the years fired into their country enough is enough you know the rockets are
16:49getting bigger they're getting more lethal they they really can't afford to allow this to continue
16:54much longer your thoughts mark meadows well obviously uh what we see is president trump doing what he
17:02always does he wants peace and he's giving fair warning to hamas to the terrorists that now is your time
17:08uh but don't underestimate president trump and his resolve uh iran did uh to their detriment i can tell
17:16you if hamas does the same thing it will be to their detriment but your lead in sean was so spot on
17:23uh the very fact that there are tens of thousands of rockets uh going into israel uh on on a regular basis the
17:31the fact that the human shields that hamas uses in gaza and other places to protect their illicit corrupt
17:40way of doing business that has to end i'm surprised that president trump was able to get israel to agree
17:47to that i'm very very pessimistic on whether hamas will accept it uh but they should uh only for uh their
17:56own well-being and and the future of a peace in the middle east well and i'll ask you both this last
18:03question the president gave the green light to israel if they if hamas does not take the deal
18:10as the prime minister said uh they will do it the hard way they're going to finish the job they're going
18:16to win the war here's what i have a hard time understanding we see the rise of anti-semitism on
18:21college campuses are we see it in the halls of congress we see it worldwide we hear it from the
18:26punditry punditry class we you know it's it's unnerving even at times what part of murder and rape
18:34and kidnapping and torture and beheading and you know tens and tens and tens of thousands
18:41of rockets being fired at this innocent country are these people not understanding i'm having a hard time
18:48coming to grips with that yeah israel's problem is that the atrocity of october 7th have now been
18:54replaced in the minds and the eyes of too many americans particularly younger americans with the
18:59brutality of war and that is what's going on in gaza so when americans young americans see this the the
19:06what's happening to the people of gaza instead of remembering october 7th they just wish it would go
19:10away this is israel's fundamental issue in the united states we americans don't like wars to go on very
19:17long we want it to be over get it done it's not done i don't know why israel has taken up to two
19:22years now to finish hamas off israel is split the israeli population the conservative the now who
19:29supporters in israel are for what he's doing but it's a very difficult split in israel but he is at
19:35risk israel's at risk of losing america losing young americans i should say if they don't get this over
19:40with and over with fast well just if you extrapolate out the population of israel and you look at the
19:47number of people killed october 7th as i said mark meadows that would be the equivalent of 40 000 dead
19:53americans in a day forget about the rockets the rape the torture the kidnapping but 40 what would we
19:59want our government to do if 40 000 americans were killed on a single day well we would want retribution
20:06and quite frankly i can remember so many of my friends calling me with family members that were
20:11in harm's way or they weren't sure whether they had been abducted or whether they could get out of the
20:17country uh but yet here what what we do see sean is it's not just this new narrative as ari is talking
20:24about with with young voters here in the united states it's the old guard as well it's what we saw at
20:30the u.n just a couple of days ago it's the anti-israel anti-jew kind of mentality that has been
20:38pervasive throughout history uh it's time that uh that netanyahu and in the israeli government
20:45finished the job but under the terms that president trump set uh the green light is there hopefully we'll
20:51get an end to this and hamas will be a history lesson instead of something in the present mark meadows
20:58ari fleischer thank you both and up next tonight right here on hannity running around the loop
21:04harassing people for not being white all right well president trump working to make america safe again
21:12the left trying everything they can do to stand in his way today illinois governor jb pritzker accusing
21:18federal agents of harassing people for not being white okay can't make that up now there are governors
21:25that want the federal government to do their job one of them governor jeff landry is next
21:34trump targets massive investments in first middle east trip president trump's persian gulf tour is his
21:43first major foreign visit of his second term and comes amid regional war and nuclear talks
21:48president donald trump is embarking this week on a high stakes tour of the persian gulf region targeting
21:56business deals and strategic partnerships with three oil rich nations saudi arabia the united arab
22:03emirates and qatar the trip marks trump's first major foreign visit of his new term and comes as nuclear
22:11negotiations with iran dragon and as war continues between israel and palestinian terror organizations
22:17hammers in the gaza strip while business in the official focus the backdrop is anything but calm
22:25white house press secretary caroline levitt described the mission as part of trump's broader vision
22:32that extremism is defeated through commerce and cultural exchanges under former president joe biden
22:39u.s relations with the gulf states cooled particularly after biden vowed to make saudi crown prince
22:45mohammed bin salman a pariah over the 2018 killing of journalist jamal but trump has reversed course
22:54embracing a more transactional approach that has worn ties with regional leaders the overall goal here
23:01is that the united states is reminding our middle east allies that we're here to stay said greg rowan
23:07executive director of the middle east forum we're here to promote our joint interests rather than the
23:13abandonment policies under the previous administration big money big expectations saudi arabia has already
23:22pledged 600 billion dollars in u.s investments spanning weapon purchases technology transfers artificial
23:30intelligence and snus stock market trump has said he believes the saudis may ultimately commit up to
23:36one trillion dollars while saudi leaders aim to diversify their economy away from oil those massive
23:42investments still depend on oil revenues which could be threatened by trump's push to lower global
23:48energy prices in addition to economic deals trump and bin salam are expected to discuss a possible
23:54civil nuclear program and expanded defense cooperation such as agreements were once linked to a potential
24:01abraham accord style normalization between saudi arabia and israel but riyadh has made clear it won't
24:09recognize israel unless palestinian statehood is on the table something israeli prime minister
24:15benjamin has strongly opposed no stop in israel is scheduled during trump's tour israeli normalization in
24:25any saudi us project is an outdated option said saudi geopolitical analysis the second trump administration is
24:33doubling down on its strategically autonomous middle east policy in a possible goodwill gesture ahead of
24:40the trip hammer's written least israeli american hostage eden alexander a move trump called monumental
24:48in the push to end the conflict in gaza and as the uae seeks to boost its tie with the u.s and become a global
24:55ai leader by 2030 it'll need american micro trips the uae has gone even further than the saudis promising
25:031.4 trillion dollars in u.s investments over the next decade focus on ai semiconductors manufacturing
25:10and energy biden has tightened curbs on ai exports to keep such technologies out of the hands of
25:16adversaries at a time when china drew closer to middle eastern states especially the uae on thursday
