Day number three for five.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup information overload hour.
Toll free, it's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program.
So while we're, you know, busy going about our daily lives.
Um, we've been watching a couple of things.
Even the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Milley said again over the weekend for the last five years, China has been building up their military might as, you know, we've kind of been asleep at the wheel.
You know, the same China that nobody is willing to hold accountable for the China virus for you know the Wuhan lab, etc.
etc.
Money that we help fund.
Anyway, uh China's military has become significantly more aggressive in the Pacific over the past five years, according to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Mark Milley.
He warned again on Sunday.
It's not the first time he's made this warning.
He cited a number of interactions between China, the U.S., other countries, and the region during that time.
And he said the message is the Chinese military in the air at sea have become significantly more and noticeably more aggressive in this particular region.
Millie made the remarks in Indonesia ahead of meetings uh that he has set to attend with the uh Indo-Pacific Chiefs of Defense uh this week in Sydney, Australia.
Now the group's discussions are to focus on the growing military threat that is China and the need to keep the Pacific free and open.
Our Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin echoed the concerns at a June talk in Singapore saying there was an alarming increase in the number of unsafe interactions in the air and by sea by the by the Chinese government.
Now, this is where it gets a little bit more interesting.
Um Nancy Pelosi is supposed to go visit Taiwan.
Now, the pushback came from the Biden White House.
Now we already know that Joe Biden gave favorable treatment while simultaneously canceling the Keystone XL pipeline.
He gave Vladimir Putin a waiver to build his Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Does that make sense?
No, except that probably Russia has the entire Biden family syndicate compromised.
Uh now he's talking about lifting the tariffs that Donald Trump put on on China because of their unfair trade practices, their theft of intellectual property, etc.
And also he sent five million barrels of oil from our strategic petroleum oil reserve.
Why would we send that to China?
That China's fighting irregular warfare.
The Chinese Communist Party is buying up land all over this country, and they've been doing it for some time.
Not just a little bit of land, hundreds of thousands of acres.
They're buying it in many cases near our most sensitive military installations.
Ranchers, farmers, they're getting offered huge sums of money, they're baffled by it all.
Intel officials have been signaling that this is a national security danger.
Privately, lawmakers have been telling me now for some time that this is going on.
In April of 2021, you know, China purchased 136,000 acres on the U.S. Mexico border near Lochland Air Base.
The Chinese are working with Mexican cartels, dumping billions in fentanyl pills.
All those pills are made in China.
You know that.
All that fentanyl is coming from China, but then crossing through our southern border.
Uh North Dakota, Montana, Oklahoma, hundreds of thousands of acres of land are being purchased, including ranches.
Now, I have farmers, senior government officials, you know, are now beginning to speak out.
Interestingly, uh Ron DeSantis, he's picked up on all of this, and he was on with Laura Ingram talking about it last week.
And he can, you know, he says, I don't think that the communist Chinese should be able to buy this land.
And I think the problem is these companies, you know, have ties.
There's is we but we have allowed ourselves, as we learned during the coronavirus, the pandemic, to be too reliant on PPE from China, too reliant on medicines coming from China, too reliant on way too many products coming from China.
You know, if you look at the chip shortage we have for automobiles, that'd be another example.
And what DeSantis says, they should not be able to buy our property.
And that any of these companies that have ties to the communist Chinese government and party ought not be able to do it.
Anyway, Sarah Carter's been doing a deep dive investigation.
We're going to show you some of this tonight on Hannity, but uh she's here to tell us more of what she's learned.
Sarah, welcome back.
Oh, thanks so much, Sean, for having me on the show.
I think this is probably one of the most significant stories of our time.
And only because I think for so long, you said it better than anyone else.
We were asleep at the wheel, uh, while the Chinese government, you know, through various companies, has been in the United States purchasing large swathes of land right near our most sensitive military installations.
And what does that mean for us?
Like, well, let's just talk about, I mean, near nuclear sites, near our U.S. military installations, uh, putting up Huawei, putting up towers in Montana.
Um, Brendan Carr, who was a former commissioner with the FCC under President Trump, was screaming from the rooftops about this years ago, saying, look, under the Obama administration, Vice President Biden, you know, and all of his dealings with uh, you know, with his son with China, during that time, you know, the Obama administration literally allowed Huawei in.
And one of the questions I have, and I'm investigating, is why and how could it pass a Cybious inspection?
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
You had talked about this before when we were talking about Ukraine when we're talking about Russia.
How does it pass a Cyphius review?
Meaning a company comes in, a foreign nation, uh connected to a communist nation that is an adversary of the United States, and they're able to purchase up land right near our nuclear installations.
I mean, that's just that's just crazy when you think about it on its face.
And now everyone's saying, Well, wait a minute, how did this happen?
And now we find out based on an FBI investigation that has been conducted over the last so many years that the Chinese are able to disrupt our nuclear arsenal communications from inside the United States.
I don't even know if this is a Trojan horse anymore, Sean.
Um I just spoke to somebody in Central America, Mario Duarte, the former head of intelligence, because China is doing the same in Central America.
He said, look, Sarah, it's not even the Trojan horse anymore.
It's like they're just walking in and doing whatever they want.
Now, in most cases, but we're t it doesn't matter if we're talking about North Dakota or Florida or Mexico near the Mexican border, in every case it seems to be near some U.S. military installation.
And in some way it seems related to the kind of the the lifeblood of of our economy, and that being uh our food stable.
Has that been noticed by everybody as well?
Yes, China, that yeah, absolutely.
Yes, absolutely.
That has been noticed by everyone as well, especially with ranchers and farmlands.
And I'm you know, we're gonna have an opportunity to talk to some ranchers um who have in Oklahoma, uh, ranchers in Wyoming, ranchers across this country and Montana, people who have just said, look, they're purchasing up all of our land.
And I think what's even more fascinating um is that when you look at these land purchases, when you see the land that the um that the Chinese companies or the companies connected to the Chinese Communist Party have actually purchased, uh you'll see that they purchased them, for example, in some cases in Oklahoma, um the land was purchased as to grow legal marijuana.
Why would the Chinese government want to grow uh have a have a legal marijuana grow in the United States?
And in some cases, what's even more interesting is that you'll see that the land uh they won't have water rights.
So for example, they purchased the land for an exorbitant amount of money, and then they say they're gonna use it to grow agriculture or marijuana.
And when uh when they are questioned by the state, and the state says, Well, you don't have any water rights on that land, and they're like, Yeah, that's okay.
No worries, we're gonna keep the land anyway.
And so they continue to land grab.
Um they don't follow through with what they say they're going to do with the land.
And I think even more interestingly enough, and you you know, you brought up Ron DeSantis, and I think Florida is a great example of this.
Um one of the things that the National Association of Realtors actually realized was that Chinese real estate investors um spent six point one billion dollars over the last twelve months, it's uh ending in March, the twelve months before that, on real estate in the United States.
Six point one billion dollars.
And uh in the New York By the way, will we ever be allowed to purchase that land in China?
Never.
Never.
And can you imagine asking to purchase land in China near one of their nuclear facilities or purchasing the land that they grow their crops on?
Um this is a very dangerous national security issue.
And you know, we have talked on your show so many times before about the dangers of even China's influence in Mexico, the movement of precursor chemicals that are used for fentanyl to to poison our country, irregular warfare.
What about China and Russia and their actions in Central America?
Those are our neighbors.
Um President Trump uh was the first president that I remember that really stood firm on this and talked openly about China's threat.
I don't remember even under the Bush administration, under Obama, it was always they nobody ever wanted to say anything about China.
It was always like they were walking on eggshells when it came to China.
President Trump did not do that.
And the and the reason why was that I think for the first time we had a president that really understood what China was about and what China is capable of.
And and he was very good at handling that.
Uh what we're seeing right now though is a direct threat to our country internally.
And if that doesn't scare everyone who's listening to us right now, I don't know what will.
And I I think what's even more frightening is that we have a president in office now who had direct dealings with China and his son as well, financial dealings that compromise the White House.
And I think that's something that we need to be very, very weary of.
And that's the reason why you're seeing Governor RondaSantis stand up.
You're seeing Governor of Oklahoma stand up.
You're seeing, you know, Governor Greg Abbott stand up and say, Well, we gotta figure this out.
We cannot allow our land to be sold literally.
I would think Congress should stop its sales immediately.
I think there ought to be some type of of penalty, sanctions Because of the fentanyl that they're bringing to our southern border.
All of that fentanyl is being made in China.
Uh I think the message needs to be sent loud and clear that the U.S. will in fact defend its ally Taiwan, and we ought to be giving Taiwan now, not later, uh all the munitions they need to defend their own country, because we're not going to send American boots on the ground.
You know, I I I almost think Ukraine at this point is the the best that Joe Biden is ever willing to do is fight to a stalemate and a tie.
And you know, if you're not going to fight a war to win the war or give them the weaponry to actually win the war, then there's no point might as well just hand Ukraine over to Russia because it's not going to be a country left.
There's almost not a country left already.
Absolutely, absolutely.
And I think that you know, you brought up an an enormous amount of points there that I I can tell you, Sean, that intelligence officials that I've been speaking to, people that I've been speaking to on the federal law enforcement side of things have said exactly what you said.
If we don't do this now, if we don't take charge now and stop China from land grabbing and really expose and disinfect what they've already done here in the country, we are in a world of hurt, and our national security and our nation will be directly under threat.
You brought up the PPE, our protective equipment, you know that's crazy.
It's insane.
All right, quick break.
More of our investigation into China.
Why are they gobbling up such large uh amounts of land right here in the U.S., especially near our military installations, and involving our staples like you know, food, farming, etc.?
Don't forget with each mortgage-free home, our friends of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation are delivering on their promise to always do good, never forget the sacrifices America's heroes have made for us.
You know, the very people that risked their lives for our country, our communities, they now need our help.
We're talking about gold star families, fallen first responder families with young children, our nation's most catastrophically injured first responders and vets, and even our homeless service members.
Uh, U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Christopher Greer, he was a firefighter, EMT in Ashland City in Tennessee, uh, when he was deployed to Afghanistan.
It was only 25 years old.
He gave his life serving our country.
And then Corporal Greer was survived by his wife Stacy, their ch their children, tunnel to towers paid off the Greer's family mortgage, but only because of your generosity.
Now, for some families, the Foundation brings the comfort of knowing they can stay in the home where they made memories with their fallen loved ones.
For others, the Foundation enables new memories to be cherished forever.
Now, all of this is possible because of your generosity and support.
They're asking all of us.
Yes, it includes me.
I'm proud to donate to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
I hope you'll join me.
Eleven bucks a month.
We're talking about two Starbucks a month you can forego and help the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, eleven bucks a month.
Just go to their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org.
If everyone in this audience did it, we'd be able to take care of every vet that needs help.
Uh, and every first responder that needs help.
The letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org.
Exposing, uncovering, untracking the lies of the left every day.
This is the Sean Hennedy show.
We continue our investigation into China gobbling up hundreds and hundreds of thousands of acres of land all over the US in strategic locations.
Why does China get a say and that and and is so upset and Biden is even capitulating, saying, Well, maybe Nancy shouldn't be going over to Taiwan.
Why would they allow themselves to be intimidated by China if the Speaker of the House has a planned trip to Taiwan?
Now, Mike Pompeo told them the pound sand and he went to Taiwan.
Nancy Pelosi now needs to do the same thing, whether she wants to go or not, and it shouldn't matter what Joe Biden has to say.
I I I agree with you.
I think this is a time to stand firm against China, to stand up to uh to China and its bullying.
And if the Biden administration refuses or fails to do so, it is sending a message across the globe to our enemies that they are open for business, that they can pretty much walk all over the United States and our foreign policy.
If we can't stand up for our allies, I'm terrified to think of what China's next move will be with Taiwan.
That's scary.
It really is.
Uh great reporting.
We're gonna we're gonna show a lot more of this and show people the actual land mass and what is at stake here.
Um because that what they're really going after is our food infrastructure, our military infrastructure, and we're allowing them to do it.
You know, one of the reasons that that Donald Trump's withdrawal from Afghanistan would have been much better.
would have done it early, long before the Taliban went on the march.
Not when they had Karzai International Airport circled with Taliban.
But number two, he would have kept Bagram Air base, which strategically would have been in our long-term best interest, especially against the threat of China.
But anyway, Sarah, we'll have more with you on TV tonight.
This is a real clear present danger.
Nobody's paying attention to it.
It's real.
800-941 Sean, our number.
We'll get to your calls at the bottom of the half hour.
Quick break, right back.
Music Holding them accountable.
Sean gets the answers.
No one else does.
America deserves to know the truth about Congress.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
We'll hit the phones here in a second.
Uh huh.
Al Gore.
I don't know.
Where's Al Gore been lately?
I haven't seen a lot of Al Gore.
Anyway, I guess he was on Meet the Press this weekend with Chucky Todd, literally comparing climate deniers.
Now you gotta go through the history of this and remember.
In the 70s, Time and Newsweek was predicting a new ice age is coming.
Then, you know, throughout the 80s and into the 90s, they were predicting that the earth was going to melt away.
Global warming.
And then when those predictions didn't come true, then they just came up with one general term, climate change.
So if it's cold, you blame climate change.
If it's hot too hot, you blame climate climate change.
If it snows, you blame climate change.
If it doesn't snow, you blame climate change.
If there are more hurricanes than the normal year, you blame climate change.
If there are not enough hurricanes, or not very many hurricanes, I should say.
Not enough would be a bad term.
You don't want any.
But if you don't have if you have below average number, they're gonna blame climate change.
Same with tornado.
You know, it's called weather and weather shifts and changes, and the you know, we've gone through this again and again.
Now, keep in mind when we were becoming energy independent under Donald Trump's policies, we lowered our net carbon emissions.
As a matter of fact, we were able to lower it more than any other country in the industrialized world, because we do it faster, cheaper, cleaner than these other countries that Joe is sucking up to to get the lifeblood of our economy.
But Al Gore is comparing climate deniers to the Uvaldi police officers who waited while children were being massacred, he says on Meet the Press.
Uh this is time for all of us to step up.
You know, the climate deniers uh uh are really in some ways similar to all of those uh almost 400 law enforcement officers in Uvalde, Texas, who were waiting outside an unlocked door uh while the children were being massacred.
Then why don't you make China and India?
Why do why do the Paris climate accords categorize them as developing nations, and we paid the bulk of the billions in freight for this.
Because they're not developing nations, they're developed nations.
And that's how stupid our leaders can be.
I think one of the best moments of my life is when my cameras, we sent them.
I got a tip.
Al Gore had had chartered a private jet, a big one, that like seats 16 people.
It was only him and his wife at the time, Tipper.
I think didn't he divorce as well?
I think they're not married anymore.
Anyway, so him and his him and Tipper, and it was only the two of them on the plane.
Rest of the plane was empty.
They get off the plane, they get into a big gas guzzling SUV.
I'm like, oh, okay.
Do as I say, not as I do.
It's like John Kerry, you know, in his private jet.
Jill Biden over the weekend was heckled.
You know, she was shouted down, Biden the worst president in history.
you owe us gas money, and then listen to her response.
Your husband is the first president we've ever had.
Thank you.
You owe us gas money.
Your husband's the worst husband in history, and you owe us gas money.
Uh I don't think I'd hold my breath for that gas money.
You're the worst president ever.
And she's like, hi.
Good to see everybody.
I'm like, oh boy.
All right, let's uh go to Mike in Florida.
Mike, how are you?
The free state of Florida.
I think I'll take Florida over California any day.
Zero percent income tax, state income tax versus twelve point three percent in California.
I think I'll live in the free state of Florida.
What's going on?
That sounds great, my man.
Sounds great.
I think Al Gore's been spotted at multiple buffet tables around the country.
Uh but uh get more serious.
Two points.
Massive amounts of our great guilt grandchildren's money is being sent to the government of Ukraine with absolutely no oversight, right?
Uh of course, is this was looked at as one of the most corrupt governments just a few years ago.
Uh of course they were still investigating Hunter Biden, right?
Uh then you had the sale of our strategic oil reserves to China through a company that Hunter Biden was involved with, right?
Uh lastly, lastly, they had the sale of the strategically located farmlands, which are right in close proximity to some of our most sensitive uh military installations.
Uh and all of these things have what do all these things have in common?
Joe Biden.
Okay, he needs to be investigated thoroughly.
Uh this is seditious, if not borderline treasonous, what is going on?
Uh you know, the the the government has the power to come take your land, but they don't have the power to stop the sale to communist countries.
Could you imagine I'm I'm gonna go to China over the weekend, I'm gonna buy you know a hundred acres of their prime farmland.
Uh and in this case, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of acres, all strategically located, all dealing with the lifeblood of our our food chain.
Um look, our farmers are the best in the world, and they produce more than enough to feed us and pretty much the entire world.
And now we're we're gonna sell some of that farmland, we're gonna sell some of those ranches that raise cattle to the communist Chinese.
Oh, and many of the areas just happen to be close to strategic military bases.
And we think that's okay as they saber rattle and tell uh they're trying to lecture America and say that the speaker of the House is not wanted it in Taiwan, an ally of ours.
I don't really give a flying rip what President Chi says.
I really don't.
And I think we should prepare.
Look, the reason I have not gone my motivation on Ukraine was the same has stayed the same.
But the problem is is this is typical Washington swamp old school thinking.
And between NATO uh allies, Western European countries and the United States, they've never stepped up to allow Zelinski to win the war against Putin.
They even have a window now where they could step up and help him win the war.
And that means drive Putin out of the country.
Once Joe Biden said no to the MiG fighter jets that I think it was Poland was willing to give them, then at that point we were throwing good money after bad.
We're we're basically we've now we've now pretty much committed ourselves to a tie.
You know, committed ourselves to mediocrity, a quagmire.
If you're gonna fight a war, win the war.
If you're gonna give ally the the munitions to win the war, win the war.
If you're not going to, then we might as well stop wasting our time now because it's it's eventually gonna end with all that money spent with nothing to show for it.
Follow the lead.
Donald Trump destroyed the caliphate because he bombed the living hell out of them, and he was unrelenting.
That's how you win a war.
You don't win a war fighting in half-assed.
And Europe, frankly, should be ashamed of themselves because if they go into Poland next, don't blame us.
They can blame themselves.
But it's uh, you know, at this point, if you're not gonna fight to win, you might as well just get out and and and give safe haven to Zelensky and and the people that are gonna need the help, the humanitarian assistant that you can offer because this is a waste of our time.
And Joe Biden saying last week, oh, this can go on for years.
I'm like, no, it can't.
Because we can't afford another quagmire, you know, for another 20 years like we had in Afghanistan.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean Bob uh also in Florida.
What's up, Bob?
How are you, sir?
Is it Bob?
I'm sorry, it's Rob.
What's going on?
Hey, good afternoon, Sean.
It's a pleasure to speak with you.
Um I'll get straight to the point.
Talking about Ubaldi with Al Gore.
First off, Al Gore's an idiot, but all the odds I agree 100% with you uh in your whole thinking on that thing.
Everybody could Monday morning quarterback.
I'm a retired law enforcement officer.
We had active shooter training every single year, and what they did was a dismal failure.
It failed at the top.
It worked its way down, and people, in my opinion, were more concerned about their careers and safety than they were about safety of their children.
Look, I've got to be honest.
Think of any other time.
There was one other shooting where there was one cop, not hundreds of cops, that that was outside when a school shooting was going on.
He didn't have any protective gear or equipment.
But that's just not the cops that I've known and I've known my entire life.
My whole life I've been around law enforcement.
So many people in my family were in law enforcement on the NYPD.
The two guys that made it in my family, my my grandfather's brother's kids served in the FBI, and they were deity in our house.
And when we got to see them, which was rare because they were always working.
It was like, you know, it was like one of Jesus' disciples walked into the room.
That's that's how high a pedestal that they were on.
And even the same for the people that became, you know, you know, law enforcement officers themselves, like on the NYPD.
My mom was a prison uh corrections officer.
My dad, a family corporation guy, and and waited tables on the weekend.
It was it was a civil service career that and profession that that they love passionately and they all prepared for for situations like what happened in that school shooting, but they prepared to go in.
They didn't prepare to stay out.
So I think it's a calling.
Yeah, it's a caller.
Listen, you're not gonna become a cop to get rich.
You're not gonna be a teacher to get rich.
You're not gonna be a nurse to get rich.
Um I did not get into radio thinking that I'd ever make any money at it.
My sister, I mean, my older sister just couldn't believe it when I said that I was she because you're gonna be a radio DJ and like was aghast at my decision.
And then said to me, When you fail in two years, I want you to promise me that you know I'll go back to school and I'll do this, this, and this.
And I made her the promise.
We thank God that you succeeded.
I thank God that I succeeded.
I didn't think I'd be for all of us.
You know, but in on paper, she was right.
On paper, that's how we were brought up.
You go to school, you get your degree, you work a career, you know, you do put in your 40 years, you retire, you have a pension.
And and that's kind of how we were were raised.
And I tell my sister all the time, what I've tried to teach my kids is I don't want them to have the mindset that we grew up with, which was a a civil servant mindset necessarily.
Now, if you're called to the military, if you're called to medicine, if you're called to police work or or eat maybe being an emt or a firefighter, you've got to follow your calling in life because you're gonna work however many years at something, you might as well love what you do.
I try to tell young people whenever they ask me, find something you love that you have a passion for and see if you can find a way to make enough money that you can sustain yourself and a family on it.
Yes, sir, and it's just unfortunate in this day and time for law enforcement with the reputation that they have given to them by a public that doesn't understand it's just like the military, but you know, strap up your boots, put your boots on, you can try for a little bit.
I could not in good conscience recommend somebody join the NYPD.
Nor can or the LAPD.
I can in good conscience recommend if somebody had a passion and a calling for to be in law enforcement.
I can in good conscience recommend that they be in a state like Florida, a state like Tennessee, a state like Texas, a state like Oklahoma, Alabama, a state where law and order is still respected.
But I I in good conscience, because they're not gonna be able to do their job.
And they're gonna be frustrated, and if they end up in a situation where they have to make a split-second decision, they're gonna there's gonna be a rush to judgment against them.
We're not talking about a George Floyd situation where the the cop was obviously wrong.
That was the guy was handcuffed.
You didn't need to put your knee on the guy's neck for nine minutes and you know push his face into the pavement, you know, and your neck on the guy's carotid artery.
You know, that that was not good policing.
There's not a cop I know that would have done that.
So, I mean, most cop, and it's the sad thing is when you have one bad Apple, then others get branded that way.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
Thanks for what you've done, my friend.
God bless you.
Um, really quick, we have 45 seconds for Kevin in Washington, D.C. What's up in the swamp, sir?
Hello, Sean.
One finger definitely.
How are you doing, my friend?
Uh, good, man.
What's going on?
Hope you had a good week.
I had a good week in the man.
When you have to redefine something as such as a recession, you know you're in the one.
The first rule is if you throw yourself in one, stop.
And this is a good thing.
You know, I'm I'm watching the same spin you are as we talked about earlier in the program.
I'm like, oh, okay.
Oh, all our lives we've defined a recession as two consecutive quarters of negative growth, but now we expect that to happen on Thursday, but now we're we're gonna redefine what a recession is.
Um that makes sense.
