THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

Obama Admits: Nuclear Iran Perhaps the worst news of the week so far is President Obama admitting that his deal with Iran actually gives the Mullahs a nuclear weapon. This is exactly what I had been warning. Obama admitted that in the current deal with Iran, the “breakout time” to the bomb would be “almost zero” by Year 13 of the agreement: "What is a more relevant fear would be that in Year 13, 14, 15, they have advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium fairly rapidly, and at that point, the breakout times would have shrunk almost down to zero," said Obama. When breakout times shrink to zero, this means that Iran would almost immediately be able to get a nuclear weapon. This is the very thing the administration was denying just last week. Now the president admits that whoever is president in 2028 will have to deal with a nuclear Iran. The State Department has since tried to clarify Obama's comments, calling them “muddled.” But the fact is that Iran will never be further than one year from a nuclear weapon, and significantly closer after the next decade, according to an assessment by former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Schultz. This is the same country whose General just recently stated that “Israel’s destruction is non-negotiable.” That's no real surprise, seeing as Iran has already vowed to wipe Israel off the map. If I were the United States, why would I sit down and negotiate at all, much less negotiate a path to the bomb, with a country that vows to destroy one of my closest allies? Why would I sit down a country responsible for aiding and spreading terrorism throughout the world, and yet not demand that this end before agreeing to negotiate? As an aside, Iran is sending a naval destroyer near Yemen, where it is currently supporting the Houthi rebels who took down the official government and are currently battling Saudi Arabia, and thusly the United States. Iran needs to show that it wants to be a part of the world community and not dominate it. What has Iran done to prove to the United States that they are a trustworthy negotiating partner? Iran's foreign minister and nuclear chief have already vowed to breach the terms of the deal on the day it goes into effect. Are we supposed to just believe the judgement of Barack Obama and John Kerry? They've given us plenty of reasons not to trust their judgement, especially when it comes to foreign policy. Congress continues to push to gain final approval of the deal. Senator Chuck Schumer is the latest Democrat to insist that the deal go through Congress: “This is a very serious issue that deserves careful consideration, and I expect to have a classified briefing in the near future. I strongly believe Congress should have the right to disapprove any agreement and I support the Corker bill which would allow that to occur.” Congress or no Congress, it is difficult to fathom why this administration thinks that this is a good deal for the United States, for Israel and for the world. Record 93 Million No Longer in Labor Force A record 93 million Americans are no longer in the labor force. That is an astounding, unprecedented number. This means that the labor force participation rate has dropped to 62.7%, matching a 37-year low. Meanwhile, the number of Americans on food stamps continues to rise; it has topped 46 million for 40 months straight. Despite what the Obama administration may say, our country has far from recovered. Millions of Americans are still struggling. It is going to take some bold leadership with fresh ideas to turn our economy around. I hope the GOP is listening.
