Miranda Devine, NY Post Columnist and author of the upcoming book, Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide, out this November, has written a scathing piece on the Biden White House and the lives at stake during all of their anti-American decision making. Plus, Senator Scott Brown visits with Sean. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Americans abandoned behind enemy lines in the hands of the Taliban.
Joe Biden, he hasn't mentioned them in 31 days.
800-941 Sean is a number.
You want to be a part of the program.
You know, one thing we've been pointing out is, you know, this, it drives me insane.
The mob, the media, they love Donald Trump lies.
He told lies.
He's not telling the truth.
The big lie, the this lie, you know, whatever.
Then you got the media today.
You got Chucky Todd over at NBC.
GOP are being absurd.
They're trying to punish the American economy.
That's a lie.
They never call out Biden for his lies either.
You know, they ignored Hunter Biden completely.
They let Joe, you know, the entire campaign be in the candidate protection program.
Now he's in the presidential protection program.
You know, their furious, joyless Behar over at that hard-hitting news show, The View, Cinema and Mansion, they're enemies of democracy.
They will get Trump re-elected.
I thought the mob lost their minds when Donald Trump said that the media was the enemy of the American people.
I thought that was what they said.
Anyway, it is hypocrisy on a level that you cannot even believe.
We have a montage we're going to play of a lot of Biden lies, and then we'll talk to Miranda.
Individuals do know that they cannot come to the border.
The border is closed.
There are 22,000 unaccompanied children in our country right now.
That's a record.
That sounds to most folks like a crisis.
Well, look, it's way down now.
We've now gotten control.
Of course I take responsibility.
I'm president, but it was horrible to see, as you saw.
To see people treated like they did, horses barely running them over, people being strapped.
It's outrageous.
I promise you, those people will pay.
As individuals come across the border and they are both assessed for whether they have any symptoms.
If they have symptoms, the intention is for them to be quarantined.
That is our process.
They're not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time.
The president decides to amplify these latest sneers about the vice president and his surviving son.
That is Russian misinformation.
No, I don't think it should be mandatory.
I wouldn't demand to be mandatory, but I would do everything in my power.
Just like I don't think masks have to be made mandatory nationwide.
We can strike terrorists and targets without American boots on the ground, or very few if needed.
We've shown that capacity just the last week.
We struck ISIS K remotely days after they murdered 13 of our service members and dozens of innocent Afghans.
Americans should understand that we're going to try to get it done before August 31st.
But if we don't, the troops will stop.
If we don't, we'll determine at the time who's left.
And if there's American citizens left, we're going to stay till we get them all out.
So no one told your military advisor to not tell you, no, we should just keep 2,500 troops.
It's been a stable situation for the last several years.
We can do that.
We can continue to do that.
No, no one said that to me that I can recall.
The very people who are victimized the most are the people who are the leaders in these various sports.
And it's just not right.
This is Jim Crow on steroids, what they're doing in Georgia and 40 other states.
All right, Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and her upcoming book, we're going to put it up on Hannity.com.
You're going to order a first edition copy.
It's the laptop from hell, Hunter Biden, big tech, dirty secrets the president tried to hide.
It's going to be out in November.
She refuses to give me a copy.
And that puts, you know, I'm very angry that you won't give me an early copy.
Why won't you share it with your friend?
Hi, Sean.
I don't have a copy myself yet.
You don't have a copy.
You wrote the darn thing.
You have a transcript.
I have a manuscript, yes.
A manuscript, excuse me.
I stand corrected.
You have a manuscript that you wrote, okay?
So you can't send it to your good old friend Sean.
I don't get it.
Well, you didn't actually ask for the manuscript.
I mean, it's quite hard to get.
I've been begging for the release of this book.
I know this book.
I know I've been briefed on what's on that laptop, and you're going to reveal it, aren't you?
Yeah, absolutely.
And more.
It's a deep dive.
And I think people are going to be, once they've absorbed the full truth of what the Bidens have been into overseas, they are going to be horrified.
My biggest fear, and I don't think anybody will have the guts to raise the question, with the exception of people like you and me and our friend Emma Joe and some others, and that is, how compromised is Joe Biden?
You read the assessment on Hunter Biden by the Libyans when he was trying to get $2 million retainer from them so that he can lobby and try and get the money frozen in this country for Libya, a terrorist supporting nation, out.
They had a proper assessment.
Don't you think China, Russia, the Iranians, the North Koreans, Kazakhstan, the Ukrainians, don't they have a similar dossier on the Biden family?
Oh, well, of course.
But even more than that, I mean, it goes right to the top.
President Xi and Vladimir Putin know, they know everything about Joe Biden and they know he is for sale.
That's the most damaging thing.
They know, but they also probably, if I had to bet, because these regimes are tough, let's be honest.
They follow American presidents very closely.
And those compromising materials that Adam Schipp so definitely wanted on Donald Trump, I think they exist as it relates to all things Biden, but nobody wants to talk about it.
My guess is President Xi has it.
My guess Putin has it.
My guess every other country has it.
Of course.
And they also set up Hunter and they will have been filming him, supplying him with women and drugs.
I mean, we know that.
It's incredible that Hunter, who was traveling overseas with Secret Service protection, could have been in harm's way to such an extent.
And I suppose it was because of that Secret Service protection.
But even when he cancelled it, because they were getting in his way, they were trying to protect him from drugs and going to dangerous places and so on, he didn't like that.
He felt that he was being spied upon.
So halfway through, he got rid of that Secret Service protection.
But you can't tell me that the intelligence services of America were not fully aware of what he was up to.
And in fact, may have been using him because he was right in the inner sanctums, places that our intelligence services, our spies, probably couldn't get into.
Like really, the very top echelons of power in both Russia and China, which matter, but also Kazakhstan, Romania, et cetera, Ukraine.
He was intimate with oligarchs and they were playing him like a fiddle.
I mean, in a way, you know, in some senses, I feel that they felt a bit sorry for him because he was being used by his father and had a crippling addiction to both drugs and sex.
You know, I will tell you, it is so bad, and you know that they did these things.
Look, I'm a little peon, right?
I'm a talk show host on radio and TV.
But for example, when I was in Helsinki, security warned me repeatedly that it was likely that the Russians knew that I had some relationship with Donald Trump and that I would be watched closely.
And I was handed burner phones by my own company.
When we were in Singapore, similarly, I was warned the Chinese would likely be keeping a close eye on me.
And I had a burner phone.
And I actually had my room debugged every day and checked for bugs.
I was told that probably everybody that worked in the hotel was a Chinese spy.
And I worked accordingly based on the information they told me.
And I'm a nothing.
I'm a nobody.
He's the son of a vice president.
Well, it's interesting, isn't it?
I mean, there was a time when Hunter and Devin Archer did tell each other to buy burner phones.
That was when they were getting up to something nefarious.
But for the most part, Hunter showed zero interest in safeguarding his information.
I mean, he lost his laptop that we know of, three different laptops.
I mean, obviously, the information's in the cloud.
You know, he just bought a new laptop.
He was always at Apple spending money.
He lost phones all the time.
Now, on that laptop, you know, details like the private email addresses, the private cell phone numbers, the private home numbers, credit card numbers of his father, not just of him.
I mean, there's every detail, because he had an addict's memory, I guess, he would record everything, every credit card, every password, every detail, even the password to the government website that he used to log on to to connect up with his, you know, his Secret Service guys.
He even put that secret password.
He recorded that on the laptop.
So he's lost three laptops that we know of.
Now, one of them he left at the Delaware Mac repair shop that we have.
Another one he left with his psychiatrist up in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
And Keith Abelow put that into a safe and then it was seized during a federal raid.
And then there was another one which he lost somewhere.
He thinks that Russian drug dealers stole it.
Well, I mean, if Russian drug dealers stole it, then in Vegas, then of course Russia has it.
Not that I don't think Russia didn't already have his immaterial anyway.
He was completely out of control.
And with his father's say-so, he was doing business for his father with Russian oligarchs, with Chinese oligarchs or the Chinese red families and President G, these Chinese state-owned enterprises.
On his father's behalf, he was doing business and he was out of control on drugs.
And apparently a lot of hookers involved.
Gary a one to ten.
How salacious is the information that is yet to be reported on Hunter's laptop?
Well look it's it's a 100 but when you say salacious I mean there's a lot of sex on this laptop and I think that's in a way by the way this is these are things that have never been reported correct?
Correct.
Correct.
I mean, even I was talking to Rudy Giuliani the other day and he was the one who gave us the laptop and he said that there is stuff there he knows that we talked about that he hadn't seen and he didn't know about because you have to dive so deep into the laptop to find it because it's a very disorganized, like Hunter's entire life, everything's disorganized.
He's tried to delete bits and pieces where there have been legal issues, like with his partner, Jevin Archer.
Some of it then, unbeknownst to him, is still buried in the archives.
But the main thing is, I think, that's clouded people's vision of what's crucial on this laptop is all the sex tapes that he's recorded of himself with various women, including his brother's widow.
And that's salacious and that's there and so on.
But to me, that's not the real story.
Obviously, I've covered that in the book and people are interested and people need to know what it's all about because there's been so much publicity about it.
But under that is a really serious story about Joe Biden and his lifelong scheme, influence-peddling scheme, which began in Delaware.
I mean, he was already very well cemented as a grifter and his family as grifters in Delaware, making a lot of money from his so-called donors and giving them quid pro quo in his various very powerful positions on Senate committees.
And his brother, well, two of his brothers, but one brother in particular, Jim, became a mentor for Hunter and so travelled with him around the world and became a sort of an intermediary to make sure that and keep Hunter on the straight and narrow, check him into rehab every now and then when things got too out of control.
And he had a cut of the money as well.
And he was there to safeguard his brother, Joe's interest.
The whole family revolves around Joe because Joe is the only one of them who's ever made anything of himself.
And they all are devoted to him.
They will do anything he says.
And if he wants 10 percent for the big guy, that's what he gets.
If he gets half of Hunter's salary, which Hunter complains about, that's what he gets.
You know, Joe says all the time that he's the poorest man in Congress, that, you know, he makes out that he's just plain old lunch pail Joe.
He lives like a billionaire or, as he calls it, trillionaire.
And who pays for all the expenses and the maintenance on his extraordinarily beautiful mansion in Delaware but Hunter?
Listen, Miranda, you've whet the appetite of everybody.
I've been briefed by people that have seen it.
It's so bad, my attorneys won't even let me get a copy.
And I've been offered a copy three different ways.
So you have it, and you're going to reveal it.
And I can't wait.
All right, Miranda Devine.
We're going to put a link up, by the way, to Amazon, Laptop from Hell, Hunter Biden, Big Tech, Dirty Secrets.
The President Tried to Hide.
It's coming out in November, very shortly.
And we look forward to reading it.
And I hope I can get an early manuscript for my friend Miranda now that I've officially begged publicly.
Anyway, thank you, Miranda.
I will make sure you get a book hot off the presses when they come.
I think the end of next month.
Okay, well, I'll take just a plain old transcript and print the sucker out.
So, anyway, thanks, Miranda.
We appreciate you being with us.
All right, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, I just can't think of times like this, a time in my life when things have been this bad, and they are.
And, you know, I never envisioned a time where we would abandon our fellow Americans and leave them behind as we did in Afghanistan in the hands of terrorists, the Taliban.
And Joe Biden is patting himself on the back, and General Milley patting themselves on the back.
And they said they turned the page, and they're dealing with the very professional and businesslike Taliban that are now slaughtering our Afghan allies because he broke a promise we gave them that if this day ever came, we would extract them and get them the hell out of there.
We have Americans buying enemy lines.
We have a State Department that is saying, well, if there's a private charter flight doing the work we should have done, you're not allowed to land in the U.S. If a third-party country is willing to accept your charter, that's fine.
But if they need our approval, it will not be forthcoming.
This is madness.
This is total, complete, utter madness.
Now, there's one good thing that is happening, and that is the Democrats are killing each other.
There is an all-out civil war as it relates to, you know, the what ultimately is $7 trillion, if we're going to be honest about the real dollars here.
But $3.5 trillion new spending package on top of the $1.2 trillion, on top of the $600 billion, and on top of all the previous money spent.
All right.
So there is fire and fury that is now being directed at people like Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema.
And Democrats are absolutely, they're apoplectic about it.
Let's listen to what Manchin had to say.
We've negotiated in good faith, never heard the deal of passing the two bills together.
Explains opposition to the Democratic budget.
He said, I already did compromise at $1.5 trillion.
That's it for me.
I'm not doing anymore.
We don't know where Kristen Sinema is.
He hasn't given us the specifics.
Here's Joe Manchin.
He said that they need by tomorrow.
Legislative language agreed to.
That means that won't happen.
Why is that?
No, we haven't been negotiating yet in good faith.
No one's been negotiating along those lines with the other party to see what would be acceptable.
So all we need to do is pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill, sit down, and start negotiating in good faith.
That's it.
You have a center.
Progressives feel, though, you're not dealing in good faith.
They felt that there was a deal made before.
I never knew about that.
Never heard of that.
So you were never part of a deal that linked the two bills together.
Two of them are going to be together?
Yeah.
Why do you think we work so hard to separate them?
Is it possible?
Is it possible?
No, it's not possible.
We can't free them by tomorrow.
No, it's not possible.
It's not possible to do any time.
Because what's possible is sit down and have good straight negotiations.
Means testing means that are we targeting the people that need it or getting it or the people getting it that maybe could do without?
I mean, they're in pretty good shape.
So I said means testing.
I said work requirements.
Those are all very, very important in these things.
And that way you target children.
So you have the beginning of life, our children.
Pre-K, yes.
Then you have the end where senior citizens want to live in a dignity and respect of their own home.
We can do that with some assistance.
And again, some can pay, some can pay a little bit, and some can't pay any.
That's means testing.
It goes an awful long, long way that way.
I'm just not.
So you know, I cannot accept our economy or basically our society moving towards an entitlement mentality that you're entitled.
Okay?
I'm more of a rewarding because I can help those who really need help, if those who can help themselves do so.
Anyway, joining us now, we've had a couple of private conversations recently, and he's as engaged as he's ever been.
Now, living in New Hampshire, he's a former Massachusetts senator, Scott Brown.
Remember, he was elected with the idea being the final vote against Obamacare.
And Massachusetts does not elect many Republicans, but he was able to win that important race based on that one issue, and they used the reconciliation process.
It was the only time to that point where they used reconciliation to pass a new massive government entitlement.
The people of Massachusetts, they had lived through Romney Care.
They didn't want it.
They knew better.
Anyway, he spent the last number of years as the U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa.
I guess if I have a bucket list of a place I'd like to go, New Zealand and Australia are definitely at the top of that list.
Senator, welcome back to the program.
How are you?
Hey, Sean, it's great to be on, and thank you for having me on, and good afternoon, early evening to you and your listeners.
I will say I know Joe Manchin, and boy, he made complete and total sense to me.
It's another what I call political bougie-wuji, where they give you a deal, you act in good faith, and then at the ninth, tenth hour, they say, oh, by the way, we're going to combine, and we're not going to do your deal until you do our deal.
And by the way, we're going to raise the debt ceiling again.
If you don't raise the debt ceiling, then it's your fault.
The economy is going to fall.
The sky is falling.
The world is ending.
I mean, it's just so typical.
You have people in charge up there who are supposed to be business people and protecting our pocketbooks and wallet, and they don't know that the debt ceiling is coming up and the drunken sailor mentality is not going to hurt the economy.
You know, Sean, it's surreal, but it's not like we're doing this.
We've been around the block.
This is not our first rodeo.
Every time that we get to this point, for example, we'll always get the tax cut on day one, the tax increase rather on day one.
And then the promised spending cuts, you know, eight years down the line that they promised.
That never happens.
And this is just typical Washington swamp sewer, you know, their mentality.
They have no intention.
They want as much as they can get now.
And Manchin is saying, I'm actually surprised he went to $1.5 trillion, to be honest.
I wish you would have held the line.
Well, listen, I know Joe personally.
I have a lot of respect for his guts, quite frankly, because I know the pressure that Schumer and others are putting on him.
That being said, this $3.5 trillion boondoggle, Sean, when I was there, it was $8 trillion national debt.
It's going to be over $30 trillion plus.
We can't pay that back.
And if you look at what they're doing, I love it when I heard his press secretary and also the President Biden saying, oh, yeah, 3.5 equals zero.
I'm like, what kind of math are you talking about?
And the only way that one of the ways they're trying to do that, by the way, to you and your listeners, they want to hire a boatload of IRS agents that are going to go looking at your Venmo and all your online transactions over $600 and say, oh, by the way, you sold your baseball card for $800 or your son did some, sold, cleared out his closet and sold his old sporting equipment.
By the way, you owe us $200.
That's how they're going to pay for it.
More and more regulations, more and more government interference in our lives.
And listen, we've got to stop it.
We are at a tipping point.
And that's why we talked.
No new news here.
My wife was so upset, Sean, that she's tired of complaining, and she's going to, you know, she's going to be looking at running for Congress.
She's going to make that decision very quickly.
If people want to learn more, www.gailhuffbrown.com and help.
You have roots in New Hampshire.
She's running for Congress in New Hampshire in a Republican-plus seat.
Right.
Well, Sununu, I know there's a lot of talk about him running for senator.
I think he's term limited out, if I'm not mistaken, as governor.
No, no term limits here.
Not to interrupt, but there are no term limits.
But listen, I want to be the first check.
I want to write the first check, and I hope he does because he's a great guy.
He's right.
If he does that, why don't you run for governor of New Hampshire?
Well, I'm going to focus on my wife and governor slash hopefully Senator Sununu.
And I'm going to help, as I said to you earlier, I wanted to help Herschel Walker.
I got on the phone with him for a good hour today and it's going to send him a check and going to help him in any way, shape, or form, because we need good, all-blooded Americans to come and take back this country and stop this crazy agenda.
It's just, it's out of control, Sean.
We can't have it anymore.
I've never seen it this insane, and it is that bad.
And I know everybody, all the, all the, look, the era of a Scoop Jackson Democrat is dead and gone, right?
Joe Lieberman's not even liberal enough to be in this new radical socialist party.
Forget JFK.
Forget who he would never get in.
Yeah, exactly.
JFK was a supply sider.
Let's be very clear.
And he believed in a strong national defense.
So Manchin rejects Pelosi's call for the deal on the economic package ahead of Thursday's vote.
He said, no.
And he said, I did compromise.
I went from zero to $1.5 trillion.
That's still a lot of money.
So he's literally trimming this spending orgy by $2 trillion.
Kristen Sinema dismissing questions by Democrats because she won't give her position.
She's just saying that it's way too much money and she's looking out for her constituents.
And for doing that, the anger that is being focused on them is pretty rabid.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's what's happening when I came back after four years of serving under the President Trump's administration as the ambassador out there in the Indo-Pacific, coming back to what I'm seeing now, this cancel culture, everybody really just hating on each other and know we're Americans first type of mentality.
Let's solve problems together.
Let's push back against China, against Russia, against the cyber crimes.
Let's solve our social issues together.
If you have a different opinion, let's still go grab a beer and go talk about sports and music.
Those things sadly need to come back, and they're gone right now.
But what's happening up in D.C., the strong-arm tactics, but the good news is, folks, we live in a wonderful, beautiful country.
And every two and four years, we have an ability to change that.
And we can change the House in 2022, and we can change the presidency in 24.
And if we take the House, that's a check and balance on Biden.
If we take the Senate, that's another check and balance.
So we have options.
People need to get engaged.
They need to be civil to each other, obviously, and respectful.
But make your point and don't be a wallflower.
And, you know, I'm excited.
I listen to you every night.
I listen to you in New Zealand as we texted and talked.
And it's people like you and others who are listening that we need to basically be respectful, lead by example.
Imagine your mom and your grandmother are watching you convey our thoughts on America and who we are and how proud we can be.
And let's go solve these problems and be that check and balance.
Break.
We'll come back and we'll continue more with former senator and former ambassador Scott Brown.
800-941-shawn is our number, Marcia Blackburn, and your calls in the next hour.
Hey listen, word has gotten out.
Now hundreds of thousands of you my listeners have said bye-bye to your overpriced cell phone provider carrier AT&T T-mobile, etc.
Verizon and you switched to PURE TALK.
And what did you get in exchange?
You got the exact same great coverage using the exact same 5g network, the exact same cell towers.
You keep your phone, your phone number, same number of bars and you start saving 50 percent your first month and then every month thereafter for the exact same service.
They have more plans at PURE TALK than the big carriers, unlimited talk and text and six gigs of data.
It's only 30 bucks a month, average family saving close to a thousand dollars a year for the exact same service.
All right, so what are you waiting for?
Join the hundreds of thousands of us and just dial pound 250, say the keyword, uh, save now.
You start saving 50 your first month and every month thereafter pound 250 on your cell keyword, save now from our friends of PURE TALK.
Our roundup is next.
You do not want to miss it and stay tuned for the final hour free for all on the Sean Hannity show.
I'm more with former U.s senator and former ambassador
to New Zealand and Samoa uh, Scott Brown is with us.
I'm listening very closely to what you're saying.
Okay, tell me, how do you reconcile the following radical New Green Deal, socialism with the belief in limited government, lower taxes less, less bureaucracy uh, more freedom?
How do you reconcile open borders and amnesty and and secure borders?
How do you reconcile?
You know these these, these?
are very profound differences and i don't see a way a middle ground here yeah sean i don't disagree at all however there's there's got to be something within those bills just one and i've said this when i was a u.s senator is i've had i've run 21 races you know i'm 19 and two i've done compromising i've done leading uh i i can tell you there must be something in one of those bills just one small part you can take apart and actually vote on together there's got to be something about the border that we
can actually kind of all agree on there's got to be something in but there's but there but but there really isn't i mean we're watching a president not only allow the law to be broken but he's facilitating the law breaking you know where i grew up in new york that's called aiding and abetting you know we have specific laws you must enter this country legally i agree with you a 1,000%.
Listen, what's happening at the border is a disgrace.
It's dangerous.
And you're allowing people to come in.
We don't know who they are.
Look at Afghanistan.
We don't know where they've been.
We don't know what they're carrying, whether it's any type of communication, disease, COVID, criminal actions, terrorist activities.
We don't do any checks.
Let me ask you this about citizenship.
If I wanted to become a citizen of Australia or New Zealand, how much would it cost me?
Well, it depends on whether you have a trade that they want.
For example, if you're a doctor, a veterinarian, you know, they have any openings for talk show hosts.
Actually, they do it TV3, and they actually do.
The host there is now gone.
But seriously, if you have an interest and you have something like that, you can come in and obviously get the ability to come in and work and ultimately get citizenship after a very short period of time.
But if you want to buy it, that's very, very unusual unless you're going to open up business.
Well, Democrats tried again to sneak in amnesty in this reconciliation bill.
All these other countries, Antigua, Belize, St. Kitts, Nevis, I mean, Cyprus, Aruba, Turkey, you can buy citizenship.
It's something of great value.
As long as people come here legally, I don't care where you come from.
I believe you should have a background check to make sure you don't have radical associations, a health check in the middle of a pandemic, and prove that you can provide for yourself and not be a burden on the American people.
Then welcome aboard.
But we're not doing it that way.
And then Democrats are saying, well, we'll give you amnesty, something that would cost a fortune if we charge for it, something of great value.
Are they doing it because they're saying, well, we're the good guys.
We gave you citizenship.
Vote for us?
Are they trying to do it?
Well, yeah, of course.
They want to use it as a tactical voting advantage.
You know it, and I know it.
But to think that we're giving these people assets and monies and benefits that our veterans and our U.S. citizens don't even get, it's outrageous.
So, yeah, I agree with you 100% on that.
But let's talk about the reconciliation now.
Well, I can't talk about it because I'm just out of time.
But the good news is you're on Hannity tonight or tomorrow.
What night?
I'm on tonight.
Let's talk about it tonight because that's the same thing they did during Obamacare with me.
And it's like deja vu what they're doing right now.
All right, Scott Brown.
Now in New Hampshire, his wife is running for Congress and former senator and former ambassador.
