Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
We're coming to your city.
I'm saying you want your song.
I mean, people are arguing that if a pipeline that wouldn't have even been in operation by now were still under construction, the situation with today's oil prices would be different.
We all know that that is the same old DC BS.
Is the United States willing to make a specific allocation for Ukrainian refugees?
Okay.
A friend in need is a friend in need.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Sean Hennedy, you're the new Sean Hennity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
This is a special edition of the Sean Hennity Show.
America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines.
Day number 212.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup, information overload hour 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I don't know why, but there are people out there that for whatever reason, no matter how many times, Linda, on this radio show, how many times have I said not one American boot on the ground, period, end of sentence, no hesitation?
It cannot be an option.
And I've explained why American involvement in the conflict of Ukraine is, we cannot go to that level.
But we've got to, you know, if you have a conscience and you have a soul and you're seeing mass graves and men, women, and children laying in the street carrying their luggage because they're trying to escape Russia's invasion and they're being mowed down in the street when you got, you know, maternity hospital bombed out, when you got entire neighborhoods bombed out, and you've got all of these innocent people being killed.
I would think if you have a conscience and a soul, that if the Ukrainians show that they are willing to fight for their own country, it's a good idea to stop someone overtaking a sovereign nation.
It's not complicated to me.
Now, but with that said, no, it's not.
Every country has, they've got to fight and defend their own country, but we can help them.
It's in Europe's best interest to help them.
God only knows what Putin's territorial ambitions really are.
Who knows how far he wants to take all of this?
Anyway, so there is a moral component to this.
Well, you're a neocon Hannity.
You want to fight the whole Cold War again?
I'm like, no, I don't.
Not at all.
But I think the reason we're seeing China warning us to stay away from Taiwan, and we're getting lectures as they fly their fighter jets over Taiwan airspace.
The reason the mullahs in Iran have gotten so aggressive is because they see nothing but weakness and chaos.
And it all starts with Joe Biden.
And then it's the rest of the NATO alliance.
They don't look particularly strong either because they're all dependent on energy from Vladimir Putin and they're making Russia and Putin rich again.
And this is the warning that Donald Trump gave the world numerous times as we have been playing repeatedly on this program.
Now, if you look at Congressman Greg Stuby, he's going to join us in a minute.
What should America's involvement be?
Now, what I don't like is they passed this huge, massive $1.5 trillion omnibus, as usual, filled with crap and loaded with pork and new Green Deal crap.
That's one issue.
On the other hand, they also include $13 plus billion dollars for Ukraine relief money, but only $200 million of it is earmarked towards providing the weaponry that the Ukrainians would then go out and fight and defend themselves, which ought to be the first order of business, not the last order of business.
But Joe's not willing to do it.
And there's many other issues involved here.
It seems like Zelensky is asking Biden to ratchet up economic pressure on Moscow, and he's not willing to do that.
They're not willing to allow Poland to give the fighter jets the 28 fighter jets that they wanted to give them.
And every time that now Putin is saying if he catches anybody in the West sending any weaponry to Ukraine, that that is now a target for him.
And then you get the fear, oh my gosh, he might use chemical or biological weapons.
Oh, he might nuke us.
You know, Donald Trump said it perfectly on my TV show last week.
Remind Vladimir that Vladimir, we've got nuclear weapons too, Vladimir.
We know how to hit Moscow pretty easily.
Not that hard.
Anyway, here's Congressman Stuby.
Yeah, I mean, he's really emerged as a world leader, which is interesting given his background.
He was like a comedian or an actor or something before he got elected, but he has certainly stepped up and done exactly what you expect a leader of a country who's being attacked by a dictatorship evil regime to do.
He's out there wearing a bulletproof flak vest with his soldiers.
He's out there trying to encourage his people to be courageous.
And he's doing exactly what I wish our leaders in the White House and in the administration were doing and portraying a very strong position of power and strength to encourage the people in Ukraine to continue to fight against Russian aggression and beg the rest of the Western world and the United States and other countries to send him the weapons,
the ammunition, the equipment, the javelins, which, oh, by the way, Trump did when Trump was president, send him javelins.
Anyway, Congressman Stuby of Florida joins us now.
To me, that is a no-brainer.
Do you agree with me under no circumstances should American troops be on the ground?
Yes, 100%.
And Sean, thanks for having me on.
But we need to do everything within our capabilities and our power to send them the equipment and the defensive military equipment that they need to push back on Russian aggression.
Wouldn't it be amazing if the $80 billion worth of military equipment that Biden and this administration abandoned in Afghanistan into the hands of a terrorist organization would have simply been shipped to the Ukraine so the Ukrainians could use Blackhawks and C-130s and all the other equipment that we left in Afghanistan.
We absolutely need to give them what they need to do to defend their people against these attacks.
So Biden keep puts all these restrictions on the energy sector.
No more auctions on leases, on federal lands, cancels the Keystone XL pipeline.
Now, the Premier of Alberta said last week that that pipeline would have been done by now and that we would be able to import 900,000 barrels of oil a day from Canada.
So why did we cancel that?
And how does he then claim that the high price of gasoline is Vladimir Putin's cost when it was up nearly $1.50 a gallon before the war started?
Well, he canceled that because he's owned by the progressive Green New Deal left.
They can't walk one way or the other without giving tribute to the progressives in their party.
So they had to do everything on day one.
On day one, he killed the Keystone Pipeline.
On day one, he killed new federal leases for oil exploration and put in a ton of regulations on our oil and gas industry to basically prohibit them from producing domestically, all while then opening up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Putin, which opened up billions of dollars of revenue straight into the Kremlin, which allowed Putin to do what he's doing and finance what he's doing in Ukraine.
If we would simply, today, if the White House reversed our domestic energy production executive orders that he put in place on day one, we would not be in the circumstance that we are economically.
We wouldn't see the inflation that we're seeing, and we certainly wouldn't see the raise in gas prices that we're seeing all across this country, which is hurting the very people Democrats profess to care about, low- and middle-income earners in this country who are living paycheck to paycheck and now having to spend twice as much on gas to get to work.
To me, I think it's a simple formula for the U.S., and that is get the Ukrainians the weapons.
They've shown an incredible, actually inspiring resiliency, including President Zelensky, of staying and the willingness to fight for their own country.
That would include javelins.
That would include Stinger missiles.
If you're willing to give them that, why is there Joe Biden's resistance to giving them fighter jets so that they can really combat the Soviets?
Because if you have a jet, you can take out a lot of their equipment on the ground, can't you?
Yeah, absolutely.
And you can target those convoys that are coming in and surrounding Kyiv.
There's a lot of stuff that you can do with that.
And Poland was willing to transfer those MiGs to them, and suddenly Biden put a stop to it.
You heard Blinken, the Secretary of State, say, yes, we're absolutely doing a transfer of MiGs to Poland to give to the Ukrainians to allow their airmen to be able to fly those in defense of their country.
And then suddenly the Pentagon sends out a press release saying the complete opposite.
And you have cabinet members within Biden's own administration that disagree as to the policy there, and Biden just shuts it down.
Well, Biden is the one that made the final decision.
We reported that on this program last week.
What do you say to people that say, you know what, have more of an isolationist viewpoint, which I can kind of respect.
I don't want to get involved in anyone else's battles or conflicts.
But at some point, when you see mass graves and you see dead kids lying in a street in a pool of blood, and all they were trying to do is escape the country because they were carrying their luggage with them.
At what point do we have a moral imperative to stand up for the innocent civilians of any country in that sense?
I absolutely believe that we have a moral obligation to help the citizens of the Ukraine from being intentionally targeted by the Russian military, civilians, hospitals, all civilian targets that are happening.
And I believe that God has called us as a nation who has the ability and that our nation is going to face judgment for not doing what we are morally obligated and have the ability to do is to give them weapons, give them the ability to defend themselves against what is pure evil coming from Moscow and intentionally targeting civilian targets.
I think we absolutely have a moral obligation to do that.
Quick break, right back.
More with Congressman Stuby of Florida on the other side.
And we'll get to your calls as well.
Final half hour of the show, 800-941-Sean, our number.
Oh, and our friend John Andrasik, remember he wrote this song about abandoning Americans in Afghanistan, blood on my hands.
And then he came out with the accompanying video.
He's got a song out about the situation in Ukraine and kind of the heroism.
You know, who would ever think a former comic leader of a country is bravely standing and fighting for his country and risking his life every day?
We'll play that on the other side and we'll get to your calls.
Listen, you know, I used to suffer from insomnia.
I don't anymore, and I have allthingsmypillow.com to thank for that.

MyPillow.com, Sean Hannity Square.
You're with Sean Hannity on the air now.
Make no mistake, inflation is largely the fault of Putin.
I love, you know, the Republic saying it's Biden's gas pipeline.
Buy Biden said he's going to stop the Keystone pipeline, and I did.
And that's the reason price went up.
Give me a break.
As we continue with Congressman Greg Stuby, he's smart.
He lives in Florida.
I'm dumb.
I don't.
Let me ask you this question.
Now, I think a lot of this is rooted in the fact that our Western European allies are so dependent on Russia.
They're getting 40% of their gas, which is the lifeblood of the world's economy.
They're getting it from Vladimir Putin and Russia.
They're also getting a lot of their oil from Vladimir Putin and Russia.
It's putting billions of dollars a day in Vladimir Putin's pocket.
So, all right, Joe, under pressure, says we're not going to import any more oil.
But he doesn't look towards Texas, Oklahoma, and Alaska for oil.
He doesn't look towards West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania for gas.
He'd rather talk to Maduro, a murdering dictator thug in Venezuela, lift sanctions against him.
He'd rather the Russians broker a horrific, insane nuclear deal with the Iranians just so we can buy oil and make the mullahs rich again.
And thirdly, you know, at what point does he not get embarrassed as a president when OPEC nations won't even take his call and they've rejected every plea of Joe Biden's to increase their production?
Why doesn't he look to domestic energy sources?
Well, because he's run by the left and he has a left flank of crazy progressives that won't allow him to do that.
But if he did that today, we could actually be exporting energy.
We were doing it under the Trump administration.
We could be exporting energy.
We could be exporting coal to those European nations so they're not relying upon Russia anymore.
We could be doing what we need to do for the safety and security of the American people and producing our own energy and exporting it to help our European partners.
But he is so driven by the left of his party that they're unwilling to do that.
And to think that our leaders are asking terrorist regimes.
And what's interesting is Maduro isn't even the recognized leader of Venezuela as far as the Department of State in our country is concerned.
He's not even the recognized leader, yet this administration is willing to go to him to basically pay blood money for oil in Venezuela to ship Venezuelan oil in because they're not willing to do it right here and provide American jobs right here in this country.
It's insane.
It's bad for national security and it would lower the 40-year high of inflation.
Real quickly, you sit on the Judiciary Committee and you're very involved in this January 6th probe that's going on.
Can you explain, have you been able to confirm, as I have three people in the room, Kash Patel, Mark Meadows, and Donald Trump have all said on January 4th, President Trump, as required by law, authorized calling up to 20,000 guard troops for the sixth, knowing a big crowd was coming, knowing we came off a summer rioting, knowing there's always bad actors in crowds.
Why is this committee unwilling to subpoena Nancy Pelosi, her records, her texts, her emails, or Mayor Bowser or the sergeant of arms?
And why are they ignoring the police chief that requested six separate times the guard and was denied?
Because this is a 100% politically motivated committee that was all appointed by Speaker Pelosi.
They call it bipartisan, but you don't have true Republicans that have been appointed on that committee to represent Republicans.
All the Republicans that McCarthy wanted to put on that committee, like Jim Jordan and Jim Banks, Pelosi refused to put on.
This is completely the politization of what occurred on January 6th.
And we have Republicans have requested text message communication between the Speaker's office and the sergeant of arms.
All of the communication that was going on in preparation of that day, because as you said, the president was willing to send in National Guard, but Speaker Pelosi didn't want that.
She wanted to create an environment that allowed for what occurred that day instead of defending the Capitol, which was very easily done.
And we will, when we take the majority back, I pray that our leaders are going to investigate this in an appropriate way, get all of that communication and information and hold those people accountable for their lack of leadership.
Congressman Greg Stewie of Florida, thank you, sir, for being with us.
We always appreciate you being on.
Quick break, right back.
Sean gets the answers no one else does.
America deserves to know the truth about Congress.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
We'll get to your calls in a second here.
800-941-Shauna is our number.
You know, I'm often interviewed and people ask, well, what do you like better, radio or TV?
And my answer is always the same.
I like them both, but they're both very different mediums.
Radio is a heart medium.
Linda, you could verify this for me.
I have had more people approach me about putting a camera on this radio show and streaming it.
I know Rush had his rush cam, which was highly successful.
But I kind of feel I'm just a little resistant to it.
Not a little, a lot.
I've been a lot resistant to it because I like the mystery of radio because it's what we call a heart medium.
Most people.
Is that really the reason?
I think it's more about the t-shirts that you're wearing.
And I think we should be honest with the audience about that.
No, I don't, but I would not mind wearing my t-shirt and I have my they would see FDNY t-shirts.
I have my NYPD t-shirt number two.
No, actually, sweet baby James, what t-shirt do I have on today?
I can't even, I can't read it.
It's what does it say?
Uncle James, this is right here.
Navy State.
Let's see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's my people.
Oh, forgive me.
Okay, we've moved on.
Okay.
No, I like it.
And I have a Tunnel to Towers Foundation that also has like the FDNY on it, NYPD on it, and American flag on it.
I'm pretty consistent.
I'm just teasing you.
I agree.
I have no problem.
So it's a heart medium to me.
And I think people begin to know if somebody's sincere, they're full of Adam Schiff pretty quickly.
Now, TV can be more powerful in a lot of ways.
In that, for example, in television, I could just roll my eyes and go, oh, and you're communicating with people that way.
Or you show a compelling video.
When I saw the images of these bodies being dumped in that mass grave, I mean, it just shocks you that this inhumanity, man's inhumanity to man, and human evil exists at this level.
And that is hard.
But I have often made the case, and I contend that the most powerful ways to communicate are through music and movies.
And the reason is, now liberals might cry if they listen to this program some days.
I get them so pissed off and aggravated.
That would actually make me happy.
There are callers that tell a personal story that can make somebody cry.
But if you've ever been to a concert, you see this range of emotions, you know, depending on who the artist happens to be.
And they take you on an emotional journey that touches your soul a little more deeply.
Now, Linda happens to be a great singer, for example, which she won't tell her pastor, and I'm going to tell on her soon.
Again, I've tried to emphasize it once.
Well, can I jump in and say one thing?
I think you make a very good point.
And I honestly think if you weren't a radio host and a TV host, that you might have gone into music because you do love it so much.
I love music, but I can't.
I think you'd be a singer, but yeah, yeah, but you may have played an instrument.
I've seen you try to play air drums.
That was a little frightening too.
But, you know, maybe there's another instrument with your name on it.
I'm not sure what it is.
But in my next life, I would love to be a performer on a singer performance.
I think you would be great because you know what?
You already have the stage thing down.
You already love that part of it.
You already love being on the stage and you love connecting with the audience.
And honestly, half the battle of being a musician or being a performer is connecting with your audience and reaching them on that level, which John Andrasik does seamlessly.
And in radio, I think despite the fact that a picture does sometimes tell a thousand words, on this show, you know, you get three hours a day to actually use your words and convey an image.
And that's pretty powerful too.
And you got to also, you got to paint the picture.
And it's not really hard to paint a picture of a dead young boy or young girl or mom in the street with their luggage or showing the images on TV of one body piled on top of another body on top of another body in a mass grave.
These are images that get seared into our minds.
And for those that have attacked me as saying, well, Hannity, the United States should have nothing to do with this.
I agree to an extent, but are we a country that has a conscience and a soul?
If you know human, innocent human lives at this level are being destroyed, hospitals are being bombed, neighborhoods are being bombed, schools are being bombed.
This is a soulless.
We're going to go to war with them.
We can't.
We can't fight all the world's battles, but we can, especially because the Ukrainian people have shown they will fight for their country themselves.
I believe we can provide the weaponry.
And I would include the fighter jets.
Anyway, John Androsic, you might remember with the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan and this horrific pullout.
I mean, he was, I talked to him every day.
He could not believe we abandoned Americans behind any enemy lines.
And he did something that most artists in this era don't do.
He decided to write about it, sing about it.
In a past era, if he was Joni Mitchell or a hippie, it would have been considered really cool.
But he wrote about it in a powerful way, blood on my hands, meaning Joe Biden has blood on his hands.
In this case, he's praising a former comedian that chose a path very different than many other leaders throughout history.
Because by this time, and Kyiv is now pretty much, there's a perimeter and it's moving closer every day to Kyiv.
And I believe eventually, unless the munitions are equal to the Russians, I think Putin's going to get the capital.
I hope to God I'm wrong, but that's my take on it.
I'm looking at satellite imagery every day.
I'm looking and getting updates on their movements every single day.
And anyway, John Androsic from Five for Fighting.
Can one man save the world?
And he sent it to us earlier today.
I want you to hear it.
Who is this comedian?
His audience, more mask than men, the superman Ukrainian.
I don't know.
Great-grandson of the Holocaust.
An Eastern heart the West has lost.
Male or carry on his cross.
I don't know.
But he's got everyone thinking.
Yeah, he's got all of us thinking.
Can one man save the world in a thousand years?
Will they say your name?
Oh, is this all in vain?
Can one man save the world?
Will you take my hand?
Will you help me stand still in the end?
Can one man save the world?
The band, the devil, stabs their chest.
Can one embrace raise the oppressed?
I don't know.
Does freedom still have appetite?
Is there the will, the goods, the fight?
Can a single flame light up the night?
I don't know.
He's got you all.
Can one man save the world?
Is your name?
You taste it.
Still insane.
John Androsik, five for fighting.
We put it up on Hannity.com.
If you want to download it, send it to your friends.
Listen to it again yourself.
All right.
In the meantime, let us get to our busy phones.
Let's say hi to Mark.
Mark is in Utah.
Mark, glad you called.
Thanks for checking in.
Hey, Sean.
Hey.
You know, I feel like Neil, I feel like that dude, that breeder dude with Obama talking to you.
Remember that guy?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Mr. President.
Yeah, that guy.
Oh, stop.
You know what?
The only difference between me and what I do and you and what you do, and you can tell me what you do, is that my job's public.
There's really not much difference.
But anyway, what's on your mind today?
I work at a place called All Search, and I incorporate companies and stuff.
That's what I do.
That's very cool.
You don't love what you're doing?
No, I love what I do.
I've been here 28 years.
Listen, shout out to my wife, her 30-year wedding anniversary, which is today, too.
Wow, that's awesome.
Congratulations to you and her, and all of God's blessings.
Honestly, that's an amazing achievement.
Yeah, we've been together ever since we met, we've been together, so we're never apart.
But you've touched on a lot, what I'm concerned about, and that song did too.
We are hoping Ukraine stops World War III, right?
I'm not seeing that.
I mean, Putin is Putin just throws out chemical weapons, biological weapons, and nukes, and the West just, you know, bubbles and fizzes and says, okay, okay.
And they're afraid of the threat.
But the threat, it needs to be, we will obliterate Russia, the whole country, if you start that.
That's totally correct.
So Ukraine is the line.
What are your thoughts on if they do?
Didn't they bomb Poland?
Was that true story today?
They came very close to the border of Poland, and it was a message sent, the excuse, the pretext, usually a lie by Putin.
He's just a liar, that weaponry was being transferred to the Ukrainians.
Maybe it's true, maybe it's not.
I don't know.
But I do know that we're going to now watch a world unfold that wouldn't have, this wouldn't be happening if Donald Trump were president, because he wouldn't put up with this crap.
And Taiwan is probably going to fall under the communist Chinese and President Xi some point during Biden's term, probably sooner than later.
And I don't know how far Putin's ambitions go.
The fact that the insurgency has done way better than anybody anticipated is a good sign in Ukraine.
But if we don't get them the weaponry, you can't win an insurgency with a slingshot.
They need javelins, stingers, fighter jets, and everything else in between.
They need the munitions to fight their own war.
If they lose, they lose.
But they're willing to fight.
I think it's a moral imperative when you're witnessing killing innocent men, women, and children that they deserve our moral support in that sense.
And I've been a big critic of Ukraine, but go ahead.
Yeah, no, that concerns me that if it goes further, I think we're going to be tied into something we don't want to be tied into.
Hold on.
Article 5 says an attack against one is an attack against all.
Now, Ukraine is not a part of NATO.
What if it's the Baltics?
What if it's Estonia and Lithuania and Latvia?
What if those countries get attacked?
Will Article 5 hold?
I can't give you a guarantee it would.
It would.
I don't think this Budapest memorandum is holding.
I think he's doing weekend at Bernie's, that's what I call him, is doing the very minimum of what he could do.
And why there are Volona people that were getting coffee a week ago and going out to breakfast and going to church, he is doing all this like Friday?
Where does the CDC get the authority to relax the 42 amendment?
They're not going to deport any minors.
Listen, I have just had it.
I saw that Pfizer came out with, and I'm sure Biden is supporting it, you know, a fourth shot for everybody.
I'm done listening to Fauci.
I'm done with the NIH.
I'm done with the CDC.
I'm done with Wilinski.
I'm done with Biden, Kamala, and the rest of them playing doctor.
They're not a doctor.
My advice is do your own research.
Take it seriously.
Look at your medical history, your underlying conditions.
Consult with the doctors, the medical professionals you trust.
And remember the words monoclonal antibodies, if you can find them.
But I got to run.
Good call.
I appreciate it, Mark.
800-941 Sean is on number.
Look, we are expecting sometime probably this week that the interest rate hikes begin by the Fed.
And, well, Goldman Sachs is predicting we may have as many as seven.
That impacts every loan now in the future you're going to get.
If you've not taken advantage of these historically low interest rates, you still have time.
And that's what our friends at AmericanFinancing.net are all about.
They want to give you a free mortgage review.
You'll talk to a mortgage professional, absolutely free, no obligation, and they'll tell you exactly how much money you can save every month, maybe hundreds of dollars, maybe thousands of dollars, how much you can save over the course of your loan.
Maybe it's tens of thousands of dollars.
Maybe it's over $100,000.
Anyway, they're waiting for your call now.
Do it before these rate hikes take effect because it's going to make a big difference in terms of how much you pay.
866-615-92.
American Financing, NMLS, 1-82-334-NMLS ConsumerAccess.org.
Alerting you to all the ways the government wants to butt into your life.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
Prayers for Benjamin Hall, also a former New York Times reporter, lost his life.
Benjamin apparently injured pretty severely.
We'll monitor that tonight on Hannity.
Marco Rubio, General Keene, Eric Trump, Michael Waltz, Lindsey Graham, Kaylee McEnaney, reporters on the ground in Ukraine, around Kyiv, as that perimeter now gets ever so close to the capital.
We're monitoring all of these situations.
And what's Joe going to do?
Thank you for being with us.
We'll see you tonight, 9 Eastern, Set Your DVR, back here tomorrow.
