SEAN HANNITY (HOST): We have the next generation of weaponry. Drones were only beginning to come into the picture during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Only in the beginning, and now it is -- look at warfare today. And it goes with my prediction that I've been saying for a long, long time. We'd better invest in the next generation of weaponry. Wars in the future are not going to be fought on battlefields. They're going to be fought in air conditioned offices, and people pressing buttons, and missiles being fired from long distances with pinpoint precision taking out targets. And I believe that is going to be the future warfare.
It doesn't mean that it will remove any need for boots on the ground. Look, there may be one strategic reason that Donald Trump might need -- and I hope it doesn't come to this. If the 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium that the Iranians spoke to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about, that if you're at 60% enrichment, then it only takes seven to ten days to get to weapons grade enrichment levels, which is 90%.
Now, if America -- if there is any doubt that that could end up in the wrong hands, that might require boots on the ground to secure that area. I hope it doesn't. You know, in keeping with the Trump doctrine, I know the president wants to be as consistent as he can be. But why go all this way and then not finish that part of the job if he deems it necessary? I just don't have the knowledge because I'm not briefed in. I don't have the intelligence. I don't know. And I know people think I know everything.
