plus 2016 republican presidential candidate senator rand paul explains his plan to shut down sanctuary cities. and one of the world s most notorious drug lords now escaped from a mexican prison and is threatening donald trump. hannity starts right here, right now. welcome to hannity. a nuclear deal has been reached with iran and the obama administration, they re taking a victory lap. the prime minister of israel, he warned this deal is a massive mistake. the bottom line of this very bad deal is exactly what iran s president rouhani said today. the international community is removing the sanctions, and iran is keeping its nuclear program. israel is not bound by this deal with iran. because iran continues to seek our destruction. we will always defend ourselves. now, israel has reason to worry and so should you.
in exchange financial sanctions would be lifted. new video showing the very moment drug lord joaquin el chapo guzman escaped from a prison in mexico. he escaped through a tunnel built right to his own cell. inside the tunnel a specially modified motorcycle. the mexican government is now offering $3.8 million for his capture and several prison employees have been fired. i m jackie ibanez. now back to hannity. welcome back. a nuclear deal has been reach would iran. it doesn t mean we should forget the rogue regime and what they have done in the past to americans and people in the middle east. back in 2010, iran paid the taliban 1,000 dollars for every american soldier that they killed. plus three americans, they re still being held captive in iran. one is missing. so why wasn t their release negotiated as part of the deal? my next guest calls the nuclear agreement, quote,
it says iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will iran ever seek develop or acquire any nuclear weapons. who the heck believes that? it s just beyond me. i try to understand what it is barack obama thinks he s achieving here. why he looks at the world in different light than anybody else does. but he clearly does not understand or chooses to ignore reality. and that s going to cost us dearly as a nation. and it clearly has put news a position where our capacity of influence in that part of the world has been dramatically undermined. we are not only clearing the way for iran to have nuclear weapons. we re going to send them about $140 billion in cash, lift the sanctions. they ll be able to be more aggressive than they ve ever been with respect to quds force.
the agreement itself raises the sanctions, eliminates the sanctions on the force and on the irgc. one of the interesting things is the quds force was originally for terrorist activity. go back and look at the treasury department press release when it was done in 07. it was because of their material support for terrorism in the form of the taliban. didn t have anything to do with a nuclear program. they are now being taken from the sanctions list as part of this overall agreement, which supposedly doesn t deal with terror. no, it just provides a heck of a lot of money for the world s leading terrorist organization to go out and do more of what they ve done in the past. the israeli ambassador actually analyzed the money. they ll be getting up to $150 billion. iran is $300 billion to $400 billion economy. $150 billion he points out infusion cash into their coffers would be enormous. just to show the magnitude of the amount of money we re giving which i m sure as a leader in
after a lot of tough talk the obama administration moved the goal posts significantly administration officials told you and the american people repeatedly that arms embargoes would not be softened as part of any nuclear deal. you may remember this. there s an arms embargo against iran. would the u.s. be supportive of an idea possibly of allowing iran to to my knowledge, we are certainly not supportive of flouting any sort of restrictions on iran or other countries providing arms. we believe these restrictions are in place for a reason because iran has done things that have necessitated them being in place. things like arms embargoes, ballistic missile sanctions those stay in place. strictly focused on the nuclear issues. apparently not. according to reportings we now learn the nuclear courts say five years from now iran will in fact be able to buy and sell conventional arms on the international market. in eight years, it will be allowed to do the same with ballistic missiles.
