SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Trump is considering now, back to the NATO question, withdrawing US troops from NATO countries that refused to allow their bases to be used for the attack on Iran. And I'll tell you the next thing that's going to happen. And I don't know -- I don't have any valid confirmation of this, but I can tell you, knowing Donald Trump as well as I do, America's contribution to NATO will now, by the end of this, when all is said and done, be greatly reduced. We pay two thirds of NATO's budget, and yet we get nothing from them. 

And in a moment where there should have been real clear, real moral clarity, no ambiguity, it's the number one state sponsor of terror, there's so much at stake -- then discovering during the conflict that they can actually reach Europe and our NATO allies and cities like Paris and London. The president is weighing a plan to punish NATO allies. He should. They are what he said. They are a paper tiger.
