Time is flying by, but look at the havoc and look at the destruction that they've done to our country in such a short period of time.
Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia.
For God's sake, this man cannot remain powerful.
So let's give this peace project the focus and the commitment and the resources of a wartime effort.
Our Marshall Plan.
Freedom is back in style.
Revolutionary Country Sound More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show.
America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines.
Day number 227.
Day 227.
That's right.
Nobody in the media seems to care.
They never talk about it.
They turn the page.
Joey, your president, he turned the page.
And yes, we abandoned Americans and thousands of green card holders and even military family members and our Afghan allies in the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan, which has now adopted the policy that girls cannot go to high school.
Isn't that grand?
Why aren't women's rights, gay rights groups joining with Sean Hannity on this and standing with me against the Taliban?
I don't know.
It makes no sense, but we'll continue to count down.
We're never going to forget these people.
I can't believe our country did this, but I can't believe a lot of things that are going on, and they are, which brings America to this inflection point and this tipping point midterm election and followed by the most important presidential election I will have ever covered in my lifetime.
That's 2024.
So we got a lot of work to do between now and then.
And every one of you listening to this program will play a pivotal role in the future of our country.
And it's now all hands on deck.
It's everyone needs to be spoke in the wheel.
No one's bigger, more important than anyone else.
And you got to get engaged.
You have to.
Start with election integrity measures on the state level, and then we'll move from there.
I don't even know what to say except the utter embarrassment that I feel after this trip with Joe Biden and our allies in Europe.
I mean, there are photos now that we have.
I saw this first on Foxnews.com.
They have great stories on there all the time.
If you don't use it, you should.
It's a great website.
Biden had his cue cards, just talking points.
So it literally says, and they got pictures of them.
It says, Tough Putin QA talking points.
Actually, it says that.
If you weren't absolutely for regime change, what did you mean?
Can you clarify?
To actually have the question written that he's likely going to be asked.
It says, I was expressing my outrage that I felt towards his actions, et cetera, et cetera.
And then I can't read all of it from here, but you get the point.
You know, the Wall Street Journal, what they said yesterday was so deep and so profound.
We're looking at a president that is so cognitively weak.
We cannot ever allow this guy to go off teleprompter, off script, and he's horrible at reading the teleprompter.
Now, I happen to think reading a teleprompter is easy.
If you worked on my TV show, the hardest job of my TV show is working my teleprompter because I don't stay on script.
I go off script all the time.
And I'm giving Thomas, who's my teleprompter operator, a cool guy.
He's got a great family, FDNY, you know, NYPD folks.
There's wonderful people.
And I'm saying you probably won't pick it up at home, but there's certain ways I signal to him I'm going off script.
I will look off camera and that means stop.
And then I'll just look back in the camera and then I'll ad-lib whatever it is that I want to add lib.
And my staff usually leaves around five to seven minutes of the monologue to be ad-libbed because no matter what.
And then I then have the points that I definitely need to get in to make the point or different videos that I want to show you, the audience.
And then I do it that way.
Joe can't do that.
Donald Trump comes on, whether it's a phone interview with him or on-camera interview, he doesn't have notes.
I've never seen him with a single note in an interview that I've done with him.
And he can talk about any topic, any subject at length with great knowledge and specificity and go on for 40 straight minutes.
Joe can't do that.
And the Wall Street Journal is even saying if we don't adopt the policy of stopping him from doing it, we're creating a dangerous situation for the entire world.
They're right.
You know, the Wall Street Journal, okay, they might be a little conservative, but they're not talk show hosts.
And they are seeing the real danger in this.
You know, New York Post points out Biden spent a quarter of his first year as president in Delaware.
Why does he keep going to Delaware?
Because he's recovering.
He's resting.
He's sleeping.
He's whatever medical care that he might be needing, he's getting, and we're not hearing about it.
Everybody around him knows, but nobody says it.
Now, the majority of the American people, we've cited numerous polls at this point, show that Americans do not think he's cognitively up to the job.
He's not.
And that's not opinion.
That's a simple truth.
He's not the same guy that he was in 07, 08, 2012, 2016, even.
He's just not the same guy.
And I feel in the sense, you know, this happens to older people.
It's not uncommon that they get weaker and more frail and they struggle cognitively.
But when you're the president, it matters.
So he goes on this trip.
He's asked, well, what about a possible chemical weapons attack by Putin in Russia?
And his answer is, well, it would trigger a response in kind.
Well, what does that mean?
That means we'll use chemical weapons back against him.
Okay, danger, danger.
You're the president of the United States.
That's not good.
And then Jake Sullivan had to clean up that shift show, Adam's shift show.
I mean, it's unreal.
And then it gets worse.
Then he's speaking to our troops in Poland.
I think it was on Friday.
He's speaking to the troops and says, well, you'll see it for yourself when you're in Ukraine.
And I'm like, what?
Is he sending troops into Ukraine?
Are they going to be on the ground in Ukraine?
Because I will not support that effort, as I have been saying over and over and over again.
Although some people, for whatever reason, no matter how many times I say, Hannity wants to send troops.
No, he does not.
I believe in the Reagan and Trump doctrines.
Anyway, and it got worse from there.
They had to clean up that mess.
And then on Saturday, he really went off script.
He went and they've acknowledged he went off script.
And then he basically calls for regime change against Putin.
Okay, now we got the French President Macron.
We got to get lectured by him.
Great.
I love that.
And Great Britain and the rest of the world saying, what is wrong with this guy?
But then they try to clean it up again.
Now, the media for a minute, for the first 10 minutes, was like giddy.
Wow.
Joe, see, he really is tough.
He's taking on Vladimir.
He's taking on Russia.
He's calling for Vladimir to be taken out.
Well, I'm the first person that I know of on air that called for him to be taken out.
Other people followed.
Lindsey Graham followed pretty quickly.
He wasn't far behind.
I don't know what other people are saying.
And the Hannity doctrine is if you invade a sovereign, innocent country and you kill innocent men, women, and children, like they've leveled Mariupol in Ukraine.
I mean, 95% of the city's gone.
It is wiped out.
And they're doing it in other parts of Ukraine as well.
You give up and forfeit your right to be a leader of any nation.
You forfeit your right to live.
You kill children.
You kill women.
You bomb indiscriminately.
You have mass grave scenes.
What is it going to take for some people to understand?
Okay, this needs to stop here because we don't know the extent of Vladimir's territorial ambitions.
And I'm not sure I ever will trust Erdogan.
He's a bad actor.
He's a hostile actor.
He's never been really friendly to the U.S.
And he's a member of NATO.
I don't even know why, but he's brokering supposedly this deal.
And I don't know what Zelensky is willing to give up.
Maybe the two regions that originally were the pretext for Putin to go in there in the first place.
We can't have a president that is this messed up.
But the reality is we do.
And that's where the danger is in all of this.
Now, Biden's call for regime change, he has now handed the Kremlin a propaganda bonanza.
UK Sun had a good point on this.
You know, Russia's demanded that sick Joe Biden face a psychiatric exam after he said that Putin cannot remain in power.
White House frantically backtracking, insisting the president was not calling for regime change.
And then after they cleaned up his mess, he said it again in yesterday's presser.
You want to run the communications department at the White House?
Forget it.
It's impossible.
Nobody knows what he thinks at any given moment of time, what he's going to say at any given moment of time.
That's why I'm not allowed to answer questions because they're going to get mad and everything.
And they get mad at me.
Let me answer the question of Anne from NBC News.
Oh, did Ann from NBC News is the reason she's on the list is she gave the question to Gensaki?
I don't know.
I'm a little suspicious because no other president has ever acted that way in my lifetime that I can remember.
Anyway, his behavior is, you know, they're saying in the UK Sun, the president's behavior might be professionally explained by psychiatrists, but from our point of view, the weak behave this way.
Speaker of the Russian parliament branded Biden a weak, sick man.
This is embarrassing.
It's humiliating to me as an American to see this weakness.
It is embarrassing.
And more importantly, and how we might feel about it is the real danger associated with this.
And now that we know he has the cheat sheet and he had a pre-scripted answer for the questions he knows are coming, you know, tell me, you know, people say, well, Hannity talked to Donald Trump.
Nobody knows the nature of my relationship with Donald Trump.
And as a member of the press, I'm a talk show host.
I don't claim to be a journalist, but I do journalism.
I do investigative journalism.
I give opinion.
We do sports.
We do culture.
We talk about the Oscars.
We'll get back to that later today, a little bit later.
By the way, two-thirds of people want Will Smith thinks he should be arrested and charged.
Okay, you people need to get over this.
Where I grew up, that was a daily occurrence.
But anyway, so are these pre-scripted questions?
Cheat, cheat, question.
If you weren't advocating for regime change, then what did you mean?
Can you clarify?
And then they have the answer.
And the question that actually came out was, when you say that you're not walking anything back, and this was Peter Ducey's question, do you feel Vladimir Putin should be removed from power?
Is that what you're saying?
And the cheat sheet says, I was expressing the moral outrage I felt towards the actions of this man.
And then Biden actually gave word for word what was on his cheat sheet.
I was expressing just what I said, expressing the moral outrage I felt towards this man.
I wasn't articulating policy change.
Okay, but it was all on the cheat sheet, and we got a picture of it.
I'll show you tonight on TV.
The fact that he needs the cheat sheet is scary.
This guy can never go off script.
The Wall Street Journal is correct.
It is beyond embarrassing.
You know, just like minor incursion, just like, oh, the chemical attack.
Well, it depends how severe the chemical impact is.
Oh, we're responding kind.
They use chemical weapons.
We're going to use chemical weapons.
Okay, let's escalate everything here.
I mean, so embarrassing.
And then he lies about, well, we never said we were going to deter Putin from invading Ukraine with these sanctions.
And then I play a whole montage of everybody, including him saying, yeah, these sanctions will deter Putin from going in.
It's unbelievable.
90%, by the way, if Europe, I'll say it again, can do two things.
If they get the drones, anti-missile defense systems, anti-aircraft defense systems, if they get the javelins, the stingers, munitions to the Ukrainians, I believe they can win the war.
90% of Russian tanks, according to Metro UK, are said to be defective.
Russia says they will drastically reduce the military operations in Ukraine, especially around Kyiv.
But guess what?
Their bombings have increased dramatically.
So I'm not buying.
Every time Putin causes for a pause, it's only to rearm and reset for the next round of indiscriminate bombings.
So I'm not, I don't believe a word this guy says.
And ask yourself this question.
If you're Zelensky or if we're, you know, I mean, are we willing to give up one square inch of property?
No.
Hannity is on right now.
For more information about contests on WOR, go to WOR710.com slash rules.
Let me give you an example of media mob biased by omission.
Linda, you heard the story about this judge that pronounced that Trump was likely guilty as it relates, I guess, to what, January 6th, et cetera, et cetera.
All right.
So it turns out the judge here is a guy by the name of David Carter.
Apparently, it has a long history of, let's call it, judicial lunacy.
Even fake news CNN had to cover it.
He once ordered defendants in his courtroom to have their mouths duct tape to shut duct tape shut.
He put duct tape on people in the courtroom over their mouth to prevent them from using profanity.
Also accused the state of California of deliberately murdering homeless black people.
After his reviewing, the reviewing of the antics in his case, a federal court of appeals accused the judge of quote, abuse of discretion, vacated his ruling.
So we're not exactly dealing with Judge Scalia here.
Is that frowned upon?
Duct tape on people that you don't agree with?
I thought, is that a new rule?
No, I mean, I think.
It's a work for both sides.
I might be okay with that then.
It doesn't work.
I'm just saying.
Only conservatives get prosecuted.
And he makes this whole thing up.
By the way, this outburst is that he's a Trump hater.
And by the way, he drew the ire of even the ACLU in 1990 for doing all of these antics.
And everyone runs with it.
Well, the judge said he's more than likely guilty.
No, not true.
A scandal in the NSA atrocities convince you?
You need a watchdog on Washington with insider sources.
You need Hannity every day.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour, toll free.
It's 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
So the media now is obsessed with Clarence Thomas.
But by the way, I heard he's out of the hospital.
I heard he's feeling better.
I'm a fan of Clarence Thomas.
If you've not read his book, My Grandfather's Son, you need to read it.
It's a terrific book.
It's a phenomenal book.
It just is an inspiration.
I was talking about Will Smith and Chris Rockton the other day, and I said the hero at the Academy Awards was Denzel Washington, who happens to be like my most one of my most favorite actors of all time.
Love Denzel Washington.
And he said, you know, when you're at your highest point, you know, that's when the devil comes in and does his best work or something to that effect.
And what does the Bible say?
The devil comes to, you know, kill, steal, and destroy.
And as a Christian, I believe that.
And everyone has to be on guard.
And that's the importance of if you're a Christian, you cling to your faith.
And you, you know, everyone thinks Christians should be perfect.
I don't understand that because it's just the opposite.
Christians are admitting that they have failed, that they have sinned, that they are flawed, and that they're asking God to forgive them and change their hearts.
The Latin derivative of repentance is to change one's heart.
But people just love to attack religious, you know, religion, religious institutions, et cetera, whatever.
Anyway, but I digress.
Can I jump in on one thing about Clarence Thomas?
We did get a lot of people.
I didn't get my point out yet, but you can, yes.
We have to remind people to see Created Equal, the documentary.
It's amazing.
That's a good point.
It's Clarence Thomas in his own words.
Unbelievable.
It is unbelievable.
I wish I did that, by the way, with him.
Anyway, so Ginny Thomas, apparently, was texting Mark Meadows.
They're doing this big investigation, but of course, Nancy Pelosi, remember, we have now four people.
I am told by sources that four of the five people in the room with Donald Trump on January 4th have all said that Donald Trump, as required by law, authorized 20,000 troops to be called up.
He doesn't have the authority to do that.
We learned that in Portland.
You might recall in the summer where 500 and what, 74 riots took place, dozens of Americans died, thousands of cops injured, billions in property damage.
In other words, the writing that they don't care about, that they're not investigating, that there's no committee for.
But anyway, I digress again.
But anyway, so she had written, I guess, text messages to Mark Meadows.
Okay.
Now the media takes that and say, oh, Clarence Thomas needs to recuse himself.
And then another group of people, he needs to be impeached.
I'm like, this is madness.
Okay, so she sent these text messages, apparently to Mark Meadows.
All but one are from November in 2020 in the early days after the election.
In the first couple of weeks, a lot of people had a lot of questions about what had happened, including yours truly.
And we were very public in our nobody wanted to hear from the whistleblowers.
Nobody wanted to look into Pennsylvania and the fact that they did not go through the process of amending their constitution, their state constitution, but just tried to bypass it the easy way and pass legislation, which makes it unconstitutional.
Nobody wanted to talk about, you know, all the, you know, thousands of people under the threat of perjury that signed affidavits about things that they saw that they believe were unethical.
Nobody cared.
Nobody cared that laws weren't followed in states that allow partisan observers to watch the vote count from start to finish up close and personal.
We've covered all of this at North View.
But the point is, they're trying to say Clarence Thomas must recuse himself because of something that his wife texted.
Okay, if that's the standard, then Joe Biden should get the same treatment as it relates to Hunter Biden laptop.
Linda, does that not make sense?
I think that makes sense.
100%.
Fair enough.
So Joe Biden, okay, if we're going to hold Clarence Thomas responsible for text messages that his wife sent out, and I'm sure probably Clarence has no knowledge of, then we'll do the same thing with Joe Biden because we know Joe Biden lied when he said he never discussed foreign business dealings of Hunter because we now have the emails to prove them and that the big guy was going to get a big cut of it all.
It's just, you see the level of hypocrisy.
It's just so disgusting.
The media mob is just repugnant, repulsive in every way.
You know, if they really wanted to, if you want to stop rioting in cities, you can do it.
We know how to do it.
You call up the National Guard.
It might not be pretty.
They're going to use non-lethal methods like tear gas to disperse crowds and such and such.
But after X number of nights of dispersing the crowds, the crowds are going to dissipate and go away.
They're not going to like it.
And the same thing, it should never happen at the Capitol again.
What happened there?
Now the question is, why didn't they use the 20,000 troops that Donald Trump authorized two days prior to January 6th, knowing that there were going to be huge crowds, knowing that there's always bad actors and huge crowds, knowing that we just came off a summer of rioting where 574 riots took place.
I want that committee to one day come up and ask maybe the people that made the decision not to call up the authorized guard troops, Nancy Pelosi and Muriel Bowser.
Why did you make that decision?
Why didn't you call them up?
Where are your text messages?
Where are your emails?
Where are your phone records?
Where's the sergeant-in-arms records?
Muriel Bowser actually put it in writing.
She said no, but they have no interest.
Or the Capitol Police Chief that requested six separate occasions that have been reported, maybe more.
Why aren't they bringing him in?
Because they have an agenda.
It's obvious.
Let me go to the economy because this is bad news.
By the way, Nancy Pelosi is now warning that she fears for the future of this democracy.
It's a republic, Nancy.
But anyway, if Republicans win in November, Hill says that Pelosi, in an interview published yesterday, she fears American democracy for American democracy if Republicans win the House in this year's midterm elections.
Okay.
She framed the stakes for the fight for the House in existential terms given January 6th.
It's absolutely essential for our democracy that we win.
I fear our democracy.
If the Republicans were ever to get the gavel, we can't let that happen.
And anyway, she's interviewed by Time magazine's Molly Ball and goes on from there.
Now, Kevin McCarthy is predicting Republicans will win a sizable majority.
And I would say that he's probably going to end up being proven right.
But I take nothing for granted.
What's my analogy, Linda?
You got to act like you're behind.
It's 20 down on the field.
Go long 100 yards.
Throw it to the other guy on your team and run super fast.
That's it, right?
Okay.
It's two minutes left in the game.
You have no timeouts left.
You're on your own 20.
You got to march down the field 80 yards, cross the plane, and kick the extra point to win.
That's how we look at elections.
That's exactly what I just said.
Exactly.
That is nothing like what you just said because you still don't know football.
It's mind-numbing to me.
I'm working on it.
Poor Anthony.
Good grief.
God bless Anthony.
God bless Anthony.
He's right.
Good thing you can make nice cookies with field goal posts on them.
That's nice.
Anyway, Biden unveils what is a $5.8 trillion budget proposal.
I pray to God this is dead on arrival.
And in this thing, he says he claims it's to reduce the nation's deficit over the next decade.
By the way, it'll raise the debt to $45 trillion.
This is money we can never pay back.
This will bankrupt this country forever.
And by the way, they're not even funding defense to the extent that they needed Ukrainian military equipment and helping our own defense systems.
We're not even including all of that.
Anyway, so as part of the plan, he wants new taxes.
I told you this part yesterday on the wealthy.
They say billionaires, but it's really millionaires.
They just say it because it's only billionaires.
It's only one point, whatever, 0.1% of the population.
Okay.
And he's going to increase taxes on corporations.
Corporations don't pay taxes.
That means you will pay that increase.
A 7% increase in spending without even adjusting the defense budget, which needs it the most.
Anyway, it's tax the rich, tax corporations.
They don't pay tax.
Climate is a big theme throughout the budget, all across every agency.
New dedication to reducing the deficit.
That's a talking point.
It's a lie.
Anyway, even Romney called it unserious.
Even Mitt Romney, who I'm not particularly fond of.
And by the way, Mitt Romney won't even offer support to Senator Mike Lee.
I fully, completely endorse Senator Mike Lee.
He's done a great job.
He's a constitutionalist.
Anyway, then there's Biden's video.
He says he's a capitalist.
We all know he's not.
And it's always the class warfare.
It's always identity politics.
Billionaires need to pay their fair share.
When you get to the nitty-gritty, it's like when he lied and said, if you make less than $400,000, you're not going to pay a penny.
Okay.
But now with Biden's inflation, you're paying more for gas, more to heat and cool your home, and for every item you buy in every store.
Who's getting hurt the most?
The poor and the middle class.
Anyway, 57% of Americans last year paid no income tax.
We already tax the rich because they're the only ones that pay.
I promise you, even this 20% minimum, I was laughing at it.
I'm like, I wish I could only pay 20% because I pay a lot more and it's all taken out of my chat.
I pay every single penny.
I am not.
I have the best accountants and I hand it to my lawyers and their accounting office double-checks it.
Anyway, so he goes into this budget.
This billionaire minimum tax earns out it's really for millionaires.
And even the word, then it gets to the worst part of this.
They're going to eliminate tax breaks for oil and gas production at this moment in history.
How stupid is he?
Then they have all these varying, complicated accounting techniques.
And what they're going to do is actually tax income you haven't even acquired yet.
In other words, they're going to project what your tax bill will be.
In other words, if you invest in something, they're going to tax you as though it's worth X. Let's say you have a home and your home at one moment is estimated to be X number of dollars.
You're going to get taxed on what they say your home is worth.
But when you try to sell the home, maybe you get a lot less.
That's happened to me in my life.
You know, you think your home's worth X, and it turns out it's not worth X.
It's worth Y.
And it is the largest tax cut.
I want you to hear this part loudly in the history of this country.
If you want, if you hate billionaires, you might love it because it would America's 10 richest people, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, would pay up to $215 billion in taxes because they're taxing, quote, unrealized stock gains.
Now, I don't play the stock market.
I hate the stock market.
I don't trust the stock market.
I dabble in crypto, but I'm safe about it.
I don't recommend it unless you really have play money to go into it.
But you got to understand here: you invest in a property, invest in a business, invest in something, and one day it's valued at X.
But when you finally sell the stock, maybe they value it at 40 bucks a stock, you're going to pay taxes on 40 bucks for each share that you have.
But then when you actually sell it, it's only worth 20 bucks.
So they're taxing money you don't have.
It's like they're making this atom shift up out of thin air.
And we're doing it going into a recession, meaning corporations are only going to make it worse when you tax them because they're going to charge more for every product and service.
And then billionaires, millionaire, they're going to stop investing money in companies, and that's going to hurt job creation.
And that's going to hurt the overall budget on top of it.
One thing I've learned about rich people, by the way, I never got a job from a poor person.
And all the jobs I've had, washing dishes, cooking, busing tables, waiting tables, tending bar, painting houses, hanging wallpaper, reconstruction, remodeling, roofing, all those jobs.
I never got hired by anybody that didn't have any money.
So you think this is a great deal?
57% of Americans do not pay any federal income tax.
Now we're going to tax people with money that doesn't even exist.
They have not sold whatever it is that they have invested in.
And by the time they sell it, it might be worth a lot less.
Are they going to give it back?
I doubt it.
I doubt it.
You know what?
This is what the new Green Deal socialism looks like.
Complete, total redistribution of wealth.
Wealth confiscation and equity for all.
You know what that results in?
False, unfulfilled promises, more poverty, and a total, complete, utter breakdown of the greatest system of wealth creation that God ever gave man, and that's called capitalism.
