What is actually still on the table, though, to bring gas prices down at this point because the president has said and made very clear that there's not much left that he can do.
The reality is that there isn't very much more to be done.
But we also know that the price of gasoline is not set by a dial in the Oval Office.
It's great political theater to point and just say, oh, prices are up.
And my reaction is duh.
They're up for everybody.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming.
To your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song Sean Hannity.
New Sean Hannity Show.
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 two, 97.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
I news roundup information overload hour 800 941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, let me say this in Biden Speak.
You know, for for God's sakes, Joey, do something.
Do something about zero experience Hunter.
Because uh, as it turns out, uh we've got now pictures of zero experience hunter.
It's reported in the New York Post, other publications, apparently with a hooker.
I've not been able to independently confirm that.
But he's holding a weapon.
Now, I'm trained in the safe use of a firearm.
This would not be the proper uh safety protocols one would use.
Now it also turns out that he lied on his application to get the weapon uh by denying ever used drugs.
We know that part.
Then we know that he dumped the weapon in a dumpster, and and thankfully somebody that was responsible found it and handed it over to the police.
Thank God for that.
Didn't end up in the hands of somebody that that could have done some harm of some kind to some innocent people.
You know, media and the Democrats are pushing the claim still that Hunter Biden's emails are all Russian disinformation.
The big lie.
Oh, they want to talk about January 6th, the big lie.
No, the big lie is Russia collusion that never happened.
Alpha Bank, uh Russian uh servers and Trump Tower.
That never happened.
The dirty Russian dossier, totally debunked, none of it true.
We dragged the country through hell for three years over nothing but a conspiracy theory and a lie.
Uh, but the one thing that was true in 2020, Hunter Biden's laptop from hell.
Oh no.
They called that Russian disinformation, and Hillary Clinton's uh dirty dossier was uh uh the absolute truth.
That's that's the life, the mindset of lying Democrats and their accomplices and the media mob.
Anyway, listen to the media democrats pushing this claim.
Just ahead, I'll speak live with Congressman Adam Schiff about a new probe into a potential Russian disinformation campaign targeting Joe Biden and his son Hunter, but clearly the origins of this whole uh smear uh are from the Kremlin, and the president is only too happy to have Kremlin help in in trying to amplify it.
To say that there's no evidence that somehow these emails and text messages or this hard drive uh is part of a uh potentially a Russian disinformation campaign doesn't make any sense to me.
This looks like Russian intelligence, this looks like Russian intelligence, this talks like Russian intelligence.
We have no idea whether or not the emails are legitimate, but this whole operation looks right out of the Kremlin playbook.
Hack and dump, steal the information with a cyber attack, get the emails from Hunter Biden's account, and then put them on these laptops that are left at a repair store, and that's how the information is now laundered into the public.
Who do you think is behind this?
Well, the Russians would be my number one guess.
If I had to guess.
Joining us now is our friend Miranda Devine.
She's author of the best-selling book, Laptop from Hell.
She had an article outlining yet another Hunter crime, and Hunter Biden shows himself to be a real son of a gun uh in the latest embarrassing video leak.
Uh do we know for sure it was a hooker or are we guessing?
No, my sources tell me that it is a prostitute, and in fact, uh the same one that he had the conversation with uh some time earlier when he um was telling her how he his other laptop was stolen by some Russian drug dealers.
So that's the kind of bizarre life that Hunter Biden was living in those days in in uh particularly in 2018 when he was on a non-stop crack bender.
Well, and there's been a lot of those.
Uh explain to me, do you think in all the years you've been a phenomenal journalist, Miranda Devine.
Do you ever think that if Hunter's last name was was Trump, that he would get away with lying on a gun application, dumping a gun in a dumpster, uh, smoking crack, hiring hookers, uh doing deals with Ukraine and Russia and China, of which he has no experience.
You think any of that would happen to a Trump kid without some type of indictment?
Well, Sean, that is really a very good question.
No, of course not.
Uh the Trumps, uh all of them, the entire family was pillowied and demonized by the media, and every single minor infraction was leapt upon.
Uh, but Hunter Biden and the entire Biden family and Joe Biden himself, of course, just get a free pass uh because they're Democrats.
Well, and that's the problem.
All right, so tell us specifically what we see in these pictures of Hunter with his gun.
Well, it's actually a video, and it shows him he's set up his um I this this video is taken on his iPhone XS, and so it was uh set up basically um on the bedside table of this sort of seedy um motel room or hotel room,
and you can see Hunter completely naked and his uh lady friend, and they're sort of cavorting around and uh on one of the beds, there are two beds in the room, there is this gun, and it looks like a uh a pistol.
Uh I'm not really big on guns, but someone said it looked like a Glock uh and uh a real gun and it's on the bed.
He picks it up, he sort of performs in front of the camera for it with it.
He he points the gun at the camera, he holds it down by his side, he has his finger cocked on the trigger, which is not very good uh, you know, control of your gun.
And um he's also seems to be completely off his face.
He he's not talking coherently, and uh there is evidence of drug use in the room.
There is uh a plate with some drug paraphernalia, what looks like the traces of uh crack cocaine or cocaine, um a pipe and condoms.
So uh he was having a party in that room and he was not in a fixed state.
It certainly seems to be having that gun.
And mind you, this is only five days, this is October 17, 2018, just five days after he lied on that gun application, that background check when he bought a gun in Delaware.
Now we don't know if it's the same gun.
Uh it could be a different gun or it could be the same gun.
We know that uh he told well, we don't know.
He he tells a lot of lies, but he told his psychiatrist um that it was a 38 caliber handgun that he had bought in Delaware.
And uh then on um just a few days after this video was taken, his uh Hunter's then lover, his uh former sister-in-law or current sister on life, I suppose, the widow of his brother Bo, um, she found the gun.
She was concerned what he about what he was going to do with it.
So she raced off to the local shopping center and she threw it in a trash can across the road from a high school.
And of course, that then became a big drama, and the state police, the local police, and the Secret Service were involved in in uh well, obviously covering up because no one was charged.
Hunter was not charged.
Uh they never looked into whether or not he had the gun legally, uh, but we do know that the owner of the gun shop in Delaware said that two men who said that they were from the Secret Service came in and asked to see uh and take away the background uh it check the paperwork that showed that Hunter had lied on that form.
It to his credit, he said no because he has to keep it at his locate at his premises all the time.
But what was going on there, the Secret Service has since told a journalist that uh no, they didn't do that, that they didn't go there.
So who were they those two men?
You know, i it's amazing.
You know, this poor guy, I've had an opportunity to interview him.
I know you've interviewed him, the the laptop repair shop guy, John Paul Mac Isaac.
What a nice lovely man.
He sees something, he tries to do the right thing, and it ends up destroying his business.
Uh the media makes his life a living hell.
Uh and he's just a he's a really nice guy, and he deserved better than this.
And he did the right thing, he handed over a questionable laptop to the FBI, and and look at the his life is turned upside down.
You're so right, Sean.
Um John Paul Mac Isaac is a patriot, and uh when he realized what was on this uh MacBook that Hunter Biden abandoned at his store in April of 2019, he decided that it really needed to go to the authorities.
So uh he contacted the FBI and in December of 2019 they came and they picked up the laptop, gave him a receipt for it.
Uh, and he was thinking that since there was so much m information on the laptop that was pretty damning for Joe Biden about Barisma, that Ukrainian energy company that was paying uh Hunter Biden so much money.
Um John Paul Mac Isaac assumed that the FBI would do the right thing and uh contribute that to the um proceedings that were going on at that stage to impeach Donald Trump because this was all expul exculpatory material for Donald Trump uh to show that he was correct when he was complaining about uh Ukraine and Biden's getting paid off.
Um but the FBI just sat on that laptop, did nothing with it.
Well, let me let me ask you, because you got this we got a grand jury convened in Delaware.
The only tip off to me that something might be coming down is this.
The Washington Post, other mainstream media outlets all of a sudden, Johnny cum lately's uh seem to be hedging their bets and reporting that the laptop that they call Russian disinformation for a year and a half, uh, yeah, is very likely real.
And to me, it they're doing that in anticipation of something happening with that grand jury is but that's just conjecture on my part.
Yes, look, I mean, that seems the most obvious um reason for this sudden interest after 18 months of completely ignoring the story.
The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NBC, CBS, they've all decided to jump on the wagon and they're now saying, oh yes, the laptop is real, and they're authenticating emails and reporting, even quoting from emails on the laptop.
So uh that sudden interest doesn't just come because they've had uh, you know, uh something happened to their conscience.
It's because they know that this Delaware grand jury is going to have an outcome shortly, that Hunter will either be indicted or some some other outcome.
And uh and and therefore they want to be Ahead of the story.
They don't want it it will be a big story when it happens, and they don't want their readers and their viewers to suddenly wake up to the fact that uh their chosen organ, uh media organ is keeping them in the dark about anything that is negative about Democrats and and exaggerating every single malfeasance that they can possibly find or cook up when it comes to conservatives.
You know, I mean that's the amazing thing.
All right, quick break more with Miranda Devine on the other side, 800-941 Sean on number.
Your calls, final half hour coming up as we continue.
Jobs.
Joe Biden can't spell it, and he can't keep them for the American people.
Check out the Sean Hannity jobs for them today.
Now, and he's on coast to coast.
She wrote the best selling book, Laptop from Hell, talking about these new images of Hunter naked, apparently with a hooker, reportedly with a hooker, and his gun drawn.
W in retrospect, when we we look back now at the last two presidential elections, we have really two buckets of of Russia conspiracies in 2016.
The the Alpha Bank Trump Tower server issue, which turned out to be totally contrived and false, and now we know uh it was Hillary herself that signed off on that big lie.
Then we got Hillary who paid for the dirty Russian dossier, and of course, all of that has been debunked, and that led to three years of of dragging the country through hell and accusing a president of something he was innocent of, and that was Trump Russia collusion.
And and yet nobody gets held accountable, Miranda.
Nobody in the media ever corrects the record, says they were wrong, talks about how they're gonna change moving forward in the future, etcetera.
Well, exactly, and meanwhile, Peter Navarro, a former Trump advisor, a distinguished public servant, is dragged off a plane in Nashville, handcuffed by five agents.
He is uh thrown into a jail cell in solitary confinement, put into leg irons, he's seventy-two years old, uh, and not given any food or water, and not given access to a lawyer.
I mean, it is a disgrace what happened to Peter Navarro, and that's because he said that he could not uh attend or appear before Nancy Pelosi's star chamber, that she's cooked up with Liz Cheney, this January sixth committee, which is going to be in prime time with our Hollywood produced production on Thursday.
Uh Peter Navarro decided he did not want to be part of that because he had to assert executive privilege, which is not his privilege to waive.
It is Donald Trump, the former president's privilege.
And so he had legal advice that that was okay.
He was talking to lawyers, spending his own money on lawyers.
By the way, we're also talking about misdemeanors and process crimes, and you usually don't go and embarrass somebody in an air airport putting him putting them in leg shackles as if he's some kind of threat uh when you're being charged with contempt of Congress.
But that's exactly what they did to Roger Stone, and but include the CNN fake news cameras.
It's what they did to Manafort, pre-dawn raids, guns drawn, processed crimes.
Uh, but it never happens on the other side.
We have less than a minute.
Yes, and Paul Manafort, who went to jail for violations of the foreign agents registration act.
Well, those are exactly the allegations that are being looked into as along with tax evasion and money laundering by that Delaware grand jury with Hunter Biden.
So let's see how Hunter Biden fares in front of that grand jury compared to Paul Manafort.
Well, I don't have any faith or confidence that we have equal justice and equal application of our laws in this country anymore, Miranda.
I wish I did.
Uh but we appreciate you being with us.
Laptop from Hell, if you haven't gotten a copy of it, very well researched, New York Times bestseller.
Uh, we love having you on Miranda.
Thank you for being with us.
Thank you, Sean.

We all remember 9-11 2001.
We lost 2,009 seventy-seven of our fellow Americans killed in the worst terror attack on American Soil.
Now, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they have been supporting America's heroes and their families ever since.
And when a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and they leave young kids behind, well, Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage to lift that financial burden and bring the family stability.
You know, for catastrophically injured vets and first responders, tunnel to towers, they build mortgage-free smart homes.
Now that enables our most severely injured heroes to live more independent lives.
And now through Operation Home Base, Tunnel to Towers is now gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans.
and they have a place to call their own.
Our nation's heroes, the people that put their lives on the line for our country and our communities, now they need our help.
And all they're asking is for all of us.
I know these are tough financial times.

This is the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour, toll-free, 800 800, 941 Sean, our number.
We'll get to your calls here in just a second.
You know what's been a little staggering to me is the callousness with which the left, just you know, very nonchalantly, uh, will say, uh, go buy yourself an electric car.
Uh, okay.
Can the average American afford a $60,000 Tesla?
Now, a friend of mine has a Tesla.
He raves about his Tesla, loves his Tesla.
Uh, I've yet to drive it.
When I get an opportunity, I'm gonna take it for a test drive, see if I like it.
I'm all for new technology.
By the way, you do need energy to produce uh a lot of the parts of these cars, just as a little side note, just in case you didn't know that.
And now we're being told expect the national gas price average to be over five bucks a gallon.
How many more record high gas prices can we set here?
And nobody wants to state the obvious.
Well, we didn't have this problem under Donald Trump.
Well, what are we doing differently?
Well, pretty much everything differently.
You gave up energy independence, you stopped granting leases, you shut down the Keystone XL pipeline.
You gave Putin a uh uh a waiver for his Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
You stopped any exploration in Alaska.
All you do is lecture oil companies about the 9,000 leases that they have without any understanding of what those leases actually mean.
Just because there's leased land doesn't mean there's one bit, one drop of oil underneath it.
You know, they put all these regulations on top of regulations to the point where even if you wanted to start drilling in these approved areas, it would take you know, a year, two years, three years to ever get it through because of Biden policies.
It's insanity.
And there's this callousness out there.
You know, what dev what was her name?
Jennifer Granholm, energy secretary.
What are you gonna do about gas prices?
Ho, ho ho hoo hoo-hoo hoo.
Well, it's uh it's a uh it's an international.
What is the grand home plan to increase oil production in America?
That is hilarious.
We got Santa Claus laughing over here.
Ho ho ho.
What's so funny about it?
I don't think it's funny.
I don't think it's funny that the poor, the middle class, people on fixed income are struggling this much.
I don't know.
Maybe it's because of the way I grew up.
Maybe watching my mom the prison guard do her thing.
Maybe it's my ten years in restaurants and my decade in construction and struggling to pay my rent, maybe that mindset never left me.
Well, Hannity, you can afford it.
What do you mean?
Uh yeah, I can afford it now at this point in my life, but I haven't forgotten what it's like not to afford it.
It's not fun for anybody.
And then the calluses, listen to Debbie Stabenow saying, Oh, it's political theater to say prices are up.
It's not political theater, it's called reality.
It's called the truth.
And the truth will set us free, supposedly, which I believe.
So if you could just take a moment to speak a little bit more about what you believe uh we need to be doing in Congress to help bring those prices down.
It's great political theater to point and just say, Oh, prices are up.
And my reaction is duh.
They're up for everybody.
The question is, what are we going to do about it?
And that's going to take bipartisan support to get that done.
Oh, bipartisan support to get that done.
Oh, okay.
It's up for everybody.
Get used to it.
Suck it up, man.
Then we're going to tell poor Americans to suck it up instead of solving their problems.
Then it gets worse.
Here's Gina uh Raymondo, the commerce secretary.
Well, there isn't much more we can do that can be done to lower gas prices.
That's like Pete Buttigieg saying yesterday, well, it's not like we can flip a switch in the White House.
How did these people get so out of touch?
They claim to have a monopoly, liberal democrats, of compassion for the poor and the middle and the middle class in this country, and they have no such thing.
They're so out of touch.
You want to talk about elitism.
This is it.
Listen.
What is actually still on the table, though, to bring gas prices down at this point?
Because the president has said and made very clear that there's not much left that he can do.
Unfortunately, that is the brutal reality.
You know, this is in large part caused by Putin's aggression.
You know, since Putin moved troops to the border of Ukraine, gas prices have gone up over a dollar forty a gallon.
And the president is asking for Congress and others for potential ideas.
But as you say, the reality is uh that there isn't very much more to be done.
Not much more to be done.
How about we have Operation Warp Speed Energy?
And that means we begin immediately to mobilize the gas and and oil industry and coal industry in this country, and we start extracting as much oil as possible as quickly as possible, frack as much gas as possible as quickly as possible, same with coal, and get America back to where it was 18 months ago, and that's being energy independent and a net exporter of energy.
Anyway, Steve is in Illinois.
Steve, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
How are you?
Good.
How are you?
Hey, um, my my big thing is is our input costs as farmers have tripled.
And by the way, I uh can I just stop you for one second?
Yep.
We have so many of you great farmers calling this program.
I I'm blown away by this.
You know, I I really am and I need to think contractor in a round baylor, 80,000 two years ago.
Yeah.
A new machine shut up, $45,000, and they're sucking the life out of my profits with this triple input cost.
I raise cattle.
I do a hundred acres of hay, and it is a very consuming um industry doing hay with fuel.
And they're killing me.
I I mean, can I pay for the let me let me ask you an honest question?
You don't have to answer because it's financial and it's personal.
But I mean, are you able to make ends meet?
Not right now because our weather, it's almost mid-June.
I only have a third of my crop cut.
We can't get in the fields because it's too wet, Sean.
So, you know, and and with the beef prices, I don't know if the market's gonna be high enough for me to recoup.
I I don't know where I'm gonna be this year, and that's scary.
You know, we had a caller earlier in the program, another farmer, another guy that also raises cattle, and he said he doesn't know if he's gonna be able to stay in business.
And neither.
And if you can't if you guys don't stay in business, now not only do you feed this country, but American farmers feed a big portion of the world.
Now forget the higher price part of that, and that's an important part for everybody.
But if you guys are driven out of business, we're all screwed.
Here's another thing, Sean.
If my bailer breaks down, my dealer told me I might not find the parts to fix it.
So what do I do then if I can't find parts to fix my bailer to put my crop in a barn to feed my herd?
I I I don't have an answer except to tell you that I have a uh some buddies of mine that run a trucking company, and if one of their trucks breaks down, they can't get enough spare parts quick enough to get the truck up and running again.
So what they act what they ended up deciding to do was take one truck out of their fleet and use it only for spare parts.
Can you believe that?
I uh no, I do.
And and I turned down land this year.
I I did I wanted to put in extra land for for hay crop, and I turned it down because my input cost, I cannot break even.
I'd I'll be in the hole because of these fuel prices.
I will be in the hole.
I I I'll tell you, we better pay this is only gonna get worse.
Oh, here, hear me out on this, Sean.
If this crop, if this green crop does not make what they're saying is gonna make this country's in trouble, I'm telling you right now.
If this if the yield per bushel per acre on corn is down two bushels, five bushel an acre, this country's in trouble.
Big time.
I hope people heed your war warning.
I hope people are listening.
Our nation's farmers, they can't afford fertilizer, they can't afford the high price of fuel, they're not able to plant their crops, they're not able to to roll their hay, they're not able to to get market prices for the cattle that they have.
If we run them out of business, we will all be feeling the pain.
Well uh let's put it this way.
I think farmers are underappreciated, truckers are underappreciated.
Oh, we'll you'll get the appreciation you deserve as soon as we run out of food.
I'll tell you that.
And I'll tell you this governor in Illinois.
He's he's running us in a ditch faster than anybody I've ever seen.
And I'm in my mid-50s, and it's scary.
I'm telling you right now.
I realize it breaks my heart to hear this.
And we're in trouble.
You're the heart and soul of this country.
You you the people it's not it's not politicians that make America great.
It's people like you that make America.
Obey the laws, provide goods and services for other people, and and hope to make a little profit on the other side and and save for a rainy day and save for retirement.
Um you're who makes the country great.
Now, when government policies begin to punish your great behavior, we're all screwed.
We and and this is where I think this is headed.
I've been saying this with a sense of urgency, and I'm gonna do it again.
Because people don't hear it the first time.
I am very concerned about where this is all headed.
I am urging everybody in this audience, take stock of your financial situation, take stock of where you might be able to save money, take stock of how you can increase your your income.
Take stock of all of this right now and get rid of any expenditures that maybe you really don't need this, you really don't need that.
And and and save for a rainy day, because I think that Jamie Diamond, who I'm not the biggest fan of, but he's not a dope.
He's a lot of things.
He's not dumb.
The guy that runs JP Morgan.
He says it's gonna be an economic hurricane.
I think uh it's a tornado forming and a hurricane cat five is on the way if we're not careful.
And we can fix this.
There are solutions.
You want to lower inflation, you want to lower gas prices, start going back to the Trump policies that work.
But that's not gonna happen.
Steve, you're a great American.
Uh God bless you, you're in our prayers and and all our our farmers that feed us.
We can't thank you enough for what you do every day.
I mean, this is crazy.
Look at all the farmers on my line here.
I have farmers everywhere.
So I think we talked about this a while ago.
Do a farmer show?
I'm serious.
Hannity the farmer.
I'm not even kidding.
I think we should go and like maybe we do one farm, maybe we do a couple, you know, we pick them kind of close together.
We do a couple shows remotely and we get down on the ground and we've shed some serious light on this.
It's not the first time I will have done this.
I went to the San Joaquin Valley when they denied farmers the water.
The Delta smelt.
The Delta smelt ridiculous.
It wasn't even an endangered species.
And California chose the Delta smelt, not endangered, over farmers' ability to farm.
Yeah, because they don't care.
It's what you just said.
They're underappreciated.
When you go to the grocery store and you pay start to care.
You know, $10 an orange, you'll start caring, or $10 for an avocado for you liberals.
But here's but see here's the issue.
I don't need avocados.
I love avocado.
Putting that aside, I think the thing that you just said, we have to go back to the Trump policies.
The only hedge I would say is it's not even Trump policies.
It's just what our nation was built on.
It's what go back to what go back to what works.
And stop it.
Jerry in Texas, also a farmer.
Jerry, hurry you.
Thank you for what you do.
Thank you, Sean.
Pleasure to talk to you.
I was just, you know, listening to your last caller, and our situation in Texas is a lot different than his.
I mean, our situation is fertilizer's killing us, input costs are killing us, and people aren't putting out the amount of fertilizer they ought to be.
And the yields are going to go down.
We can't afford to just keep going.
You know, I heard a couple of shows ago about y'all are just going to have to go up on your hey.
Well, we can't go up on our hey, there's only such a certain amount that people can take before they can't afford it.
They just, well, I'm take all these cows to the sale.
