With the sham January 6th hearing still very much wasting the taxpayer dollars, the question is... where is Nancy Pelosi and the testimony that she knew she had the full control of military resources in the Washington DC area... something that she's failed to make known to the public.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

| 93% of small businesses fear a recession, and 89% are affected by inflation, supply chain issues, and workforce challenges. | |
| Two-thirds of Americans feel that the economy is in a recession right now. | |
| I don't think he's too worried about popularity. | |
| I read that Dr. Fauci said that he plans to retire by the end of President Biden's term. | |
| And then everyone turned to Biden. | |
| Like, is there anything you'd like to announce? | |
| Freedom is back in style. | |
| Welcome to the revolution. | |
| Yeah, we're coming. | |
| To your city. | |
| Don't play out guitar and say you will 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. | |
| Day number three 41. | |
| All right, day 341. | |
| That's day three, let's see, 54, since Joey said he wouldn't abandon Americans. | |
| Glad you're with us. | |
| 800 nine four one Sean. | |
| Uh this is the president one year ago to this very day. | |
| We're not in a position where we think that any virus, including the Delta virus, which is much more transmissible and more deadly in terms of non-unvaccinated people. | |
| The vi the the the various uh shots that people are getting now cover that. | |
| They're they're you're okay. | |
| You're not gonna you're not gonna get COVID if you have these vaccinations. | |
| The shots cover that. | |
| You know, you're not gonna get COVID if you've had these vaccinations. | |
| Now, the the dumb thing is Delta was the first COVID variant that did break through vaccinated people and boostered people, etc. | |
| And so has every other variant since Omicron 1, Omicron 2, Omicron 2.75, Omicron uh 4.0. | |
| Now we have Omicron 5.0, which is the most dominant variant in the country at this particular time. | |
| So what he said was false, and everybody at the time knew it was false. | |
| You know, they used to say this was a disease of the unvaccinated. | |
| So here's a guy that got double vaxxed, had double boosters, and still ends up with COVID. | |
| And let me be very clear. | |
| I wish the president well. | |
| I hope him, I hope he has a speedy recovery. | |
| And um I I would imagine that he has the best medical care available. | |
| They've said that he's on Paxlovid. | |
| Uh the sad thing is is they've not yet developed. | |
| Now, for the earlier uh strains of Omicron, um, they did have monoclonal antibodies. | |
| There was one of Setrovamab was for I think Omicron One, and then there was the Eli Lilly monoclonal that was for uh BA2. | |
| Uh they don't that I know of have one specifically design because you need different monoclonal antibodies for the very specific variants that are out there. | |
| I don't think they have one available now. | |
| I know many people that have Gotten COVID that have taken Paxlovid that have done well, but I'm not your doctor, so don't listen to me. | |
| But he's taking Paxlovid. | |
| The one thing that doctors have told me, just as a point of reference questions you might want to ask your own doctor if you get a positive diagnosis. | |
| And right now, everybody that I know that has gotten it, I mean, they've all done well on it, and they've done well doing nothing of late. | |
| So I'm not telling anybody what to do, not to. | |
| Again, I'm not playing doctor. | |
| I'm not, I'm not a doctor, but there is a trend that has definitely happened. | |
| I know Dr. Marty McCarey mentioned it uh earlier on Fox today. | |
| Uh, one thing about Paxlovid you got to be careful of is its interactions with many other drugs, and and he pointed out the president he believes is on blood thinners and anti-coagulants, and it could be dangerous in there could be dangerous changes to that. | |
| But he said, I'm sure the White House Medical Unit is on this, monitoring that. | |
| Um, and another issue with Paxlovid, about 20% or so, so I have read and been told by doctors. | |
| Um, they'll take Paxlovid for five days, they'll test negative, and then they'll test positive within five or six days later again. | |
| In other words, they have a what's called a rebound case. | |
| You know, the the saddest thing is I know people that have been vaccinated that have been boostered, that have had COVID not once, not twice. | |
| Now I know numerous people that have had it three times. | |
| Three times they've gotten this thing. | |
| And there's there's no amount of vaccination boosters that are working in any capacity to prevent people from getting it, which was the argument in the beginning. | |
| This this is a disease of the unvaccinated. | |
| No, it's not, because you'd be fully vaccinated, fully boosted, and still get and even have natural immunity and still get infected again. | |
| So, you know, at some point here, everybody needs to just hear what the absolute truth is, and that's been something in short supply. | |
| By the way, even Fauci himself had a rebound case. | |
| He got COVID, fully vaccinated, double boostered, gets COVID, then took Paxlavid, then rebounded five days later, was positive again, and and had to go back on the Paxlovid. | |
| But I I from everything I've been reading, it does mitigate the symptoms, etc., etc. | |
| But again, you're gonna have to ask your doctor. | |
| Um, this does not seem to be as deadly, for example, as the Delta variant or the original uh COVID uh uh spread in in early spring of 2020, etc. | |
| etc. | |
| Um, anyway, we uh we got a lot of news to get to. | |
| Wish the president well, wish him a speedy recovery. | |
| By then by the way, some of you out there, man, I mean, I'm talking to Katie, sweet baby James, and they're I don't have an email account or very few people have my text, and they're saying that people are saying, I wonder if the Saudis did it on purpose. | |
| I wonder if this is I mean, the things that people come up with, I have there's no evidence to support any of these things, but the way people's minds think kind of cracks me up a little bit. | |
| Who knows, right? | |
| I mean, the world is a dark, evil place, and people are just insane. | |
| Um, anyway, 31% approval rating from Biden. | |
| His rating among Hispanic Americans now uh is the lowest it's ever been 19% among Hispanic vote voters with independence, it's 22%, and none of what he's doing is working. | |
| Now, we had another incident yesterday where uh and we played it on the show for you yesterday, we can play it again, but Joe Biden in the speech claimed that he had cancer, and that this is the reason why me and so many of my friends have been getting cancer. | |
| And everyone's like, huh? | |
| He never had cancer. | |
| And you know, almost immediately the White House had to back off it. | |
| Here's what he said. | |
| My mother drove us, and rather than us be able to walk. | |
| And guess what? | |
| The first frost, you knew what was happening. | |
| You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. | |
| That's why I and so damn many other people I grew up have cancer. | |
| And why can't for the longest time tell her had the highest cancer rate in the nation? | |
| Jordan never had cancer. | |
| Not even close. | |
| I mean, he had a non-cancerous, you know, whatever removed, but it was non-cancerous. | |
| I guess the worst walk back in in history, the White House claiming Joe was referring to the removal of a non-melanoma, non-life-threatening, a spot on his skin, which according to the White House physician was caused by 78 years of being in the sun, not oil falling from the sky in Delaware, which I'd never heard of either. | |
| It's not the first time. | |
| All these embarrassing moments a year ago, remember they had to walk back the claim that the last five chair people of the Federal Reserve support his policies. | |
| Well, two of them are dead, so that would be impossible. | |
| Last October, they had to walk back the call for the National Guard to resolve the supply chain crisis. | |
| Whoops, he didn't really mean that. | |
| Then in January, Biden pledged to look the other way if Putin's invasion into Ukraine was only a minor incursion. | |
| Yeah, we got to walk that back too. | |
| Because it makes them look bad. | |
| In March, they walk back Biden's call for regime change in Russia. | |
| And then his uh him proclaiming that he would respond in kind if Russia used chemical weapons. | |
| Respond in kind means we're going to use them against you. | |
| Yeah, they had to walk that back too. | |
| They walked back his pledge to go to war with China over Taiwan. | |
| White House pretended that Joe meant to read the speaking cues that are put in his teleprompter. | |
| Repeat the line. | |
| Repeat the line. | |
| I I mean, you you just can't make this up. | |
| It is it's it's that bad. | |
| And yeah, he's got bigger problems. | |
| You know, COVID, obviously, it seems now most people recover within five days if they take the antivirals. | |
| I'm sure my guess is he's gonna be just fine based on just anecdotal experience. | |
| I've had people older getting COVID, taking Paxlovid. | |
| They've all seem to do okay. | |
| Some of them have the rebound issue, but that's that's about it. | |
| But tell us what Joe Biden is doing that is working. | |
| This is now the problem for the midterm elections. | |
| You know, the the fact that he is such a cognitive mess, you know, to hit 31% approval rating means he's almost at rock bottom. | |
| The only president that I know of, for certain, that was ever below Joe, I think was Harry Truman at 26%. | |
| I can't think of another president, even Jimmy Carter, and and you know, well, what about Donald Trump? | |
| No, even after January 6th, uh his approval ratings were higher than Biden's 31%. | |
| Uh, which by the way, is now we have another January 6th show tonight that's going on. | |
| They're gonna show all the outtakes of Donald Trump trying to make the message. | |
| They keep saying it's 187 minutes. | |
| Well, okay, they're including the time that Donald Trump wave goodbye after a speech ended all the way through the time that he gave the video, forgetting the time that he also put out the tweet and forgetting all the other important stuff as well. | |
| You know, this is what is frustrating to me about this. | |
| Look, if you want to prevent something like January 6th from ever happening again, which should be their goal, you should also want to prevent the 574 riots that injured thousands of cops, killed dozens of Americans, and caused billions in property damage. | |
| Just putting that as a side note. | |
| If you really want to get to the bottom of it, you need to focus in on some very key information that they have no interest in focusing on. | |
| For example, you know, I've got four people out of five in the room on tape, Donald Trump himself, Mark Meadows, the acting uh Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller, and his chief of staff, Cash Patel, and they all were there in the Oval Office. | |
| There were only five people. | |
| The other one was General Milley. | |
| I'll get to him in a second, all confirming that President Trump authorized the National Guard to protect the Capitol, knowing big crowds were going to Washington. | |
| Here's what they all said to me. | |
| Did you authorize calling up the guard? | |
| And then it became the chain of command went to Nancy Pelosi and to the mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser. | |
| Did you, as required by law, authorize that? | |
| Uh one hundred percent. | |
| And attested to by many people, and they turned it down. | |
| Nancy Pelosi turned it down. | |
| Mayor Bowser's written refusal, the communications between the leader of the Capitol Police and their chain of command to the DOD refusing our request to allow National Guards men and women to stage on January 4 and 5 before January 6th. | |
| Did you both ask for the National Guard to be called up? | |
| Without a doubt, Sean, uh, we've made that very clear, not just once, but on numerous occasions. | |
| We wanted to make sure that there was plenty of uh National Guard on the ready uh in case there was some kind of violence. | |
| I had a meeting with President Trump on the 3rd of January concerning some international threats, and at the very end, he asked if there were any requests for National Guard support. | |
| What was the president's response to you with regard to the request made by Mayor Bowser? | |
| Fill it and do whatever was necessary to protect the uh demonstrators. | |
| Now you would think that's pertinent to this committee. | |
| Now they just want to put uh uh uh a uh uh loop reel of Donald Trump. | |
| Now, the Department of Defense under Joe Biden did a study um over an investigation into the response of Trump's DoD to January 6th. | |
| Let me quote from page 31, because the only one we didn't hear from that was in the room was General Milley. | |
| Quote, Mr. Miller, the last person you heard from and General Milley met with the president at the White House at 530. | |
| The primary topic they discussed was unrelated to the scheduled rally. | |
| General Milley told us at the end of the meeting, the president told Mr. Miller there would be a large number of protesters on January 6th, and Mr. Miller should ensure sufficient National Guard or soldiers be there to make sure it was a safe event. | |
| Why would the January 6th committee ignore that? | |
| Why would they ignore their editing, slicing, and dicing all the tapes of all the depositions and the president's speech? | |
| Why are they ignoring many of you will peacefully patriotically march to the White House so your voices will be heard? | |
| Why haven't they called in Nancy Pelosi, Muriel Bowser, the sergeant at arms, Chuck Schumer, and the Capitol Police Chief who himself requested numerous times National Guard troops to assist before that day and during that time? | |
| Because that blows their narrative out of the water that was already predetermined. | |
| All this talk that uh zero experience hunter, um, as you know, his the probe into him and the grand jury in Delaware has reached a critical stage. | |
| I'll tell you right now, I think the odds, in spite of all the overwhelming evidence, is probably next to zero, that they do anything to zero experience Hunter. | |
| There's some sources saying that the federal grand jury looking into his business dealings, wrapped up its latest term, late last month, no charges filed. | |
| Now that might be true, that might not be true. | |
| I don't know what the current position is. | |
| Fake news CNN is saying discussions recently have centered around possibly bringing charges that would include alleged tax violations, making false statements in connection with his purchase of a firearm and lying on his application, and then of course dumping it in a dumpster that was retrieved thankfully by a good Samaritan who handed it over to the police. | |
| A current and former Justice Department official say there is an unwritten rule that prosecutors avoid bringing politically sensitive cases within 60 days of an election. | |
| Some current former justice officials have debated whether the rules necessarily apply in a case since Joe Biden isn't on the ballot in the midterms. | |
| I we don't have equal justice under the law anymore. | |
| If we did the people that said the dirty dossier was verified uh to a Pfizer court, lying to a court, spying on on innocent people, they would have been held accountable. | |
| Hillary Clinton would have been held accountable for bleach bit and hammers and sim cards removed. | |
| None of that ever happens. | |
| Only if you're a conservative, you know, if you spit on the sidewalk or jaywalk, you're getting 10 years in jail. | |
| Sleepy Joe just signed more executive actions in one week than most presidents did in their entire term. | |
| So much for a democracy. | |
| Looks like Joe is the new dictator. | |
| And it is on right now. | |
| All right, 25 now till the top of the hour. | |
| 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| You know, if if Democrats were genuine and if they were sincere and they really meant it, that they really wanted uh peaceful cities, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, they'd be consistent, wouldn't they? | |
| If they wanted, for example, a hearing that was fair, that they'd have to examine, you know, what we just read to you, which I think is critically important, especially if you're looking for real answers as it relates to what happened on January 6th and why it happened. | |
| You know, they would look at, for example, the Department of Defense under Joe Biden, and the fact that they did a complete review uh and IG report of the inspector general report uh about what happened and said that Trump's Department of Defense handled it perfectly. | |
| They had no criticism at all. | |
| And we have four people we just played for you on tape saying they were in the room. | |
| There were five people in the room. | |
| Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, Acting Secretary of Def uh Defense, Chris Miller, Cash Patel, his chief of staff, and General Milley. | |
| Uh now, General Milley's team has been very, very helpful. | |
| Every time I've reached out to them, they've responded to me. | |
| Now, the general's kind of busy, so he hasn't exactly had time to sit down with Sean Hannity on an interview, uh, because he's been around traveling the world. | |
| We have a lot of hot spots around the world, so I appreciate the fact that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs doesn't have time for me, but is but his staff has been extremely gracious, very cooperative, very helpful, and and and they got me answers whenever I would ask for it. | |
| And they said, yeah, we do remember the general does recall having conversations about safety of the Capitol with President Trump prior to January 6th. | |
| That's what they told me. | |
| But now we have the inspector general report, page 31. | |
| Mr. Miller and General Miller, Mr. Miller is the Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Milley, met with the president. | |
| This would be President Trump at the White House around 5 30. | |
| General Milley told us this is days before uh January 6th. | |
| General Milley told us that at the end of the meeting, the president told Mr. Miller there'd be a large number of protesters on January 6, 2021, and Mr. Miller should ensure sufficient National Guard or soldiers would be there to make sure it was a safe event. | |
| So the president, all five people confirmed that he authorized the use of guard troops. | |
| Now that kind of blows out of the water the narrative that Donald Trump wanted this to happen. | |
| Otherwise, why would he be authorizing troops to defend the Capitol? | |
| Now, first of all, you might say, well, why did you he must have suspected trouble? | |
| Well, we just came off a summer of 574 riots, where dozens of Americans died, thousands of cops were injured, and billions in property damage. | |
| We just came off that summer. | |
| We watched they tried to pull down the statute in Lafayette Park and St. John's Church. | |
| Uh we we remember what happened there and other federal buildings around the country, and there was this big battle. | |
| Remember that uh that many liberal Democrats did not take advantage of the president. | |
| The president's role as it relates to the guard is he has to authorize the use of the guard, the calling up of the guard. | |
| Then it becomes the jurisdiction of, let's say, the Portland mayor to decide whether or not to bring them in, and they steadfastly out in Portland refused, and it was a big deal when Donald Trump finally sent guard troops in to protect the courthouse that was being attacked on a nightly basis with attempts of burning it to the ground. | |
| And people getting injured inside. | |
| And then people said he does not have the authority to do this. | |
| This is a police state, blah, blah, blah. | |
| But uh so, but once the president made the authorization prior to January 6th, it then became the responsibility and jurisdiction of two people. | |
| One is Nancy Pelosi. | |
| She's in charge of safety for the Capitol. | |
| Of course, working with the Sergeant of Arms. | |
| And Nobody, the committee never reached out to say, well, why didn't you call them up? | |
| They were made available to you. | |
| They never brought in the Capitol Police Chief. | |
| Remember, he initially, I think it was on January 2nd, said, I don't think we're going to need troops. | |
| And he and he made that decision based on the intelligence available at the time. | |
| The next day, within 24 hours, new intelligence came in that talked about specific intelligence about the possibility of violence on January 6th. | |
| And then he changed his mind. | |
| And he requested guard assistance. | |
| And he was denied it time after time after time. | |
| Specific intelligence was handed to the office of Chuck Schumer. | |
| None of these people have been questioned. | |
| None of their emails have been subpoenaed, none of their text messages subpoenaed, none of their call records subpoenaed, nothing. | |
| Muriel Bowser in writing rejected the guard troops that were authorized by President Trump. | |
| Now, again, if you if you care about and we condemned all of this in real time right here on this program. | |
| I played it before. | |
| I don't have to play it again. | |
| Condemned it that night on TV. | |
| If you're a conservative, I want you to stop right here. | |
| This is not who we are. | |
| And we've been consistent. | |
| Same with the summer of 2020. | |
| We condemned everything that happened. | |
| You know, and then this is why I said as we were going to break the line, and before the before the break at the bottom of the hour, we don't have equal justice and equal application of our laws in this country. | |
| That's why I suspect Hunter Biden will go free. | |
| Is there any doubt he's selling access to the White House? | |
| We have all the evidence we need that Joe Biden lied when he said not one time did he ever discuss with his son his foreign business dealings? | |
| We have pictures with him and his son and foreign business partners. | |
| We have all these communications on Hunter's laptop that shows that his dad knew about his foreign business dealings because Hunter was complaining about paying all of his bills, putting aside money for the big guy, Tony Bobolinski, you know, made that point. | |
| And why would a sitting vice president ever withhold a billion dollars of taxpayer money to get a prosecutor fired, give a deadline of six hours, and son of a bee, they fire the prosecutor in Ukraine. | |
| Why would a vice president ever want to do that? | |
| To protect his zero experienced son, who's being paid millions for what looks like selling access. | |
| Because when he went on Good Morning America and was asked, Do you have any experience in energy? | |
| No. | |
| Any experience in oil? | |
| No. | |
| Natural gas? | |
| No. | |
| Any experience in Ukraine? | |
| No. | |
| Why would they why was this oil giant paying you millions of dollars? | |
| I don't know. | |
| Could it be your vice your father, the vice president in charge of Ukraine policy? | |
| I had a lot of ground to get to. | |
| So with the midterms approaching, um, I just remain cautiously optimistic. | |
| I'm not, I'm I am not counting chickens before they hatch, especially in the Senate. | |
| I mean, you got every bellwether state imaginable, every swing state will get Newt's take on the best strategies uh to get our country back on track and elect the right people. | |
| It's obviously gonna include all of you. | |
| Uh him and Dr. Oz coming up next hour, straight ahead. | |
