Graham Joins Sean Hannity's Radio Show to Reflect on the First Year of President Trump's Second Term

[00:00:00] What is the likely next step? [00:00:03] >> Uh that Donald Trump will be a man of [00:00:05] his word. He gave the Ayatollah some [00:00:08] options. The Ayatollah has been defiant. [00:00:11] They're still killing people. And Donald [00:00:14] Trump said time for new leadership in [00:00:16] Iran to the people. Keep protesting. [00:00:19] This will be his moment. When I say [00:00:22] Ronald Reagan, you say tear down this [00:00:24] wall, right? was a defining moment in [00:00:27] the 20th century when Donald Trump was [00:00:29] asked by the world media what should the [00:00:32] protesters do. Keep protesting. Help is [00:00:35] on the way. That will be his legacy. At [00:00:37] a moment of critical decisionmaking, he [00:00:40] stood up to the ayatollah. He called the [00:00:43] people to keep protesting. This [00:00:45] terrorist regime is short for this [00:00:47] world. They taught themselves into uh [00:00:50] extinction. Donald Trump is a man of his [00:00:53] word. I'm not going to tell you what's [00:00:54] going to happen, when it's going to [00:00:55] happen, but I know this. When Donald [00:00:57] Trump tells you, "Keep protesting. I [00:00:59] have your back. You can take it to the [00:01:01] bank." To our friends in Israel, we all [00:01:03] got to up our game. If the atollah falls [00:01:06] and the people win, Middle East peace is [00:01:09] a reality. The world changes. The people [00:01:12] of Iran will be our partner. How about [00:01:14] this idea? Let the people of Iran pick [00:01:16] their leader. Let the people of uh [00:01:19] Greenland pick their leader. What you [00:01:21] said last night was perfect. How about [00:01:23] letting Greenland decide who they want [00:01:25] to line with? Let them be independent [00:01:28] and let them pick. So what you said, [00:01:30] Sean, is perfect. You know, we don't [00:01:32] need to be taking things by force, but [00:01:35] we do need to give people choice. What [00:01:38] you said last night is the right answer. [00:01:40] Let Greenland decide who they want to be [00:01:42] with. Let them be independent. And [00:01:44] here's what I believe. They'll be with [00:01:46] America. Under Donald Trump, America is [00:01:48] the best bet you could ever have. Donald [00:01:50] Trump will build up forces in Greenland. [00:01:52] We need to have control. We're not gonna [00:01:54] spend all this money and not have [00:01:56] control strategically. Greenland is [00:01:59] really important. [00:02:01] >> Well, you know, all these these [00:02:03] so-called NATO partners and Western [00:02:05] European lead [00:02:06] >> over here is unbelievable. [00:02:09] Like Trump's the problem. Trump's not [00:02:11] the problem. The IT is the problem. The [00:02:14] Russians are the problem. The Chinese [00:02:16] are the problem. If you don't like the [00:02:18] way Trump talks, [00:02:20] you know, have therapy. [00:02:23] He's talking. [00:02:26] >> By the way, they didn't like when Donald [00:02:28] Trump said they had to pay pay their [00:02:30] fair share for NATO. He didn't like the [00:02:31] fact that he put tariffs on them and [00:02:33] said, "You're not going to rip us off [00:02:35] anymore." Uh, they in the beginning [00:02:38] don't like anything that he won't [00:02:40] proposes. And in the end, the people [00:02:42] that would benefit the most from America [00:02:47] uh partnering with Greenland would be [00:02:50] would be our European all so-called [00:02:52] allies. [00:02:54] >> They they they if Trump they can't [00:02:57] acknowledge that maybe Trump is better [00:02:59] off at securing the planet than they [00:03:01] were for 20 years. What have we gotten [00:03:03] from all of this stuff? We've gotten [00:03:06] three two invasions in in in Russia. We [00:03:09] got the ayatollah. What's the European [00:03:11] response to the ayatollah after you [00:03:13] killed people under Obama? Give them a [00:03:15] big deal. Let them have money. Obama [00:03:18] turned his back on the people. Trump did [00:03:20] not. Obama is the worst president ever [00:03:23] when it comes to fighting evil. To your [00:03:25] audience. [00:03:27] Let Greenland decide who they want to be [00:03:29] with. Let Iran decide what kind of [00:03:33] government they want to have and start [00:03:34] living under this oppression. Let [00:03:38] uh Cuba, let Venezuela, Donald Trump is [00:03:42] giving people the best gift you could [00:03:45] ever give. Self-determination. [00:03:48] God bless President Trump and to our [00:03:49] European allies. Get a grip. Have a [00:03:53] beer. Go into therapy. Trump's doing [00:03:56] stuff that benefits you. You're too [00:03:58] screwed up. [00:03:59] >> You know what the You know what the [00:04:00] truth is? And by the way, for stations [00:04:02] along the Sean Hannity Show Network, uh [00:04:04] we're we're passing on this this local [00:04:06] break. [00:04:08] I I just want to say something that's [00:04:10] very very clear here. NATO is nothing [00:04:13] without Donald Trump. Western Europe [00:04:15] can't protect itself without Donald [00:04:17] Trump and without the United States. [00:04:21] Period. They just can't. And and neither [00:04:23] Putin norQi respect Western Europe. [00:04:27] >> Right. If the French president said, [00:04:29] "You better not do this," everybody [00:04:31] laughs. Donald Trump, when he says [00:04:33] something, you better, you'll wind up [00:04:35] dead. Europe collectively is not [00:04:37] intimidating to anybody. It's a debating [00:04:40] society without America. And Donald [00:04:42] Trump is telling Europe, you need to do [00:04:44] more. They're doing more. He's telling [00:04:46] the world, "I'm not going to put up with [00:04:48] this garbage anymore." To the Ayatollah, [00:04:50] you're the biggest problem on the [00:04:51] planet. Uh the people are right. You're [00:04:53] wrong. And we'll have a good ally in [00:04:55] Iran when this falls. And I believe in [00:04:58] Trump. Uh I really do believe that the [00:05:01] days of the Ayatollah murderous regime [00:05:03] are numbered because of what they done. [00:05:05] I really do believe that Venezuela and [00:05:07] Cuba are going to be great allies. I [00:05:09] really believe we're going to get a good [00:05:10] deal in Russia because Russia is going [00:05:12] to think twice when the Ayatollah goes [00:05:15] down. So all I can say the European [00:05:17] model has led to endless conflict. [00:05:21] Nobody cares what you think. Nobody like [00:05:24] Canada said we need to have middle level [00:05:27] nations align and work together. Who [00:05:29] cares what middle level nations think [00:05:32] because they can't do when I see [00:05:34] military force going to Greenland? Okay, [00:05:37] what are you going to do Denmark? Send [00:05:38] your five planes and your three ships. [00:05:40] Give me a break. [00:05:42] >> You know, you know what the irony is? [00:05:43] The president will do all of this with [00:05:45] no boots on the ground. No forever wars. [00:05:48] None. [00:05:49] >> I mean, and and that's the beauty of the [00:05:51] Trump doctrine. I mean, he is he's [00:05:53] rewriting the history books as we speak, [00:05:56] and he's putting America first in every [00:05:58] decision. [00:06:00] >> I mean, look at what I said about the [00:06:02] first year. It's the most amazing first [00:06:04] year in my lifetime. We have secured the [00:06:06] border by force of will. We have taken [00:06:08] the largest narot terrorist state down [00:06:10] in Venezuela. Cuba's going to fall. Uh [00:06:13] we got the Ayatollah the weakest ever [00:06:15] been because Trump sided with the [00:06:17] people. We've got the largest tax cut in [00:06:20] history, the biggest spending reduction [00:06:22] in history, all in a year. The best is [00:06:25] yet. [00:06:25] >> It's unbelievable. [00:06:26] >> European. [00:06:27] >> And by the way, and the the Atlanta Fed, [00:06:29] and I'll get into this later in the [00:06:30] program, they just projected fourth [00:06:32] quarter GDP growth at 5.3%. [00:06:36] I mean, that is an economic miracle. I [00:06:39] mean, you talk about a golden age. Gas [00:06:42] prices lowest in five years. Inflation [00:06:44] lowest in five years. interest rates [00:06:47] lowest in five years. Uh per capita [00:06:50] income, you know, versus inflation up [00:06:52] the highest in 20 years. Trade deficit, [00:06:55] you know, lowest in 20 years. You know, [00:06:58] good times are ahead. Senator, we [00:07:00] appreciate you working extra hard to be [00:07:02] with us from Davos. Senator Lindsey [00:07:04] Graham, thank you.
