China's President Xi has some key investments that might just "own" President Biden. At the same time, the United States is spending over $50 Billion in Africa. In this "Best of Hannity," Sean looks at the Biden Administration's chaotic policies and tries to make sense of the insensible. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Glad you're with us.
800 nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza.
You know, Joe Biden earlier this week spiking the football.
How great the economy is.
Well, we inflation is not at a 42-year low.
It's only at a 40-year low.
I'm sorry, high.
Did I say low?
Oh, excuse me.
Uh 40-year high.
Number of Americans, CMBC living paycheck to paycheck.
They say 63%.
I've seen numbers as high as 70.
You know, then the 14% of the elderly that are skipping meals because they can't afford them.
Unreal.
Uh and it just never stops.
By the way, the more I read about this crypto guy, whatever his name is, um, I'm really pissed off about all of this.
This guy called Elon Musk says that Sam uh Bankman Freed donated You can just call him SBF.
All right, SBF, whatever.
That SBF actually donated one billion dollars to Democrats.
One billion dollars.
Now, what have I say?
What was I saying all election season?
Where is all of this money coming from?
Because every single Senate race, Democrats outraged Republicans by tens of millions of dollars.
I mean, literally Herschel Walker was outspent by a hundred million dollars.
I mean, that's a lot of money.
Well, Herschel could have been a better candidate.
I had no problem with Herschel's candidacy.
Democrats played the ballot game, Republicans did not.
You know, you think about it, it makes no sense, right?
You don't show up at debates, you don't have you know, these you you don't talk to the media, you don't have press of veils, uh, you're not kissing babies, you're not taking selfies, you're not doing rallies, you're not doing anything that a normal politician will do.
You're avoiding ducking debates, all this stuff.
But but they do a lot of work, spend a lot of money on negative ads, and then all of this money is spent harvesting, and in many states, as I've laid out before, it's legal to harvest ballots.
They're playing the ballot game.
Republicans are running uh political campaigns uh one point oh, and Democrats are at 10.0.
They're running an entirely different operation.
So the goal, the challenge for the Republicans moving forward, is they've gotta not only get as good as Democrats at this game, they've got to get better than them at it.
And there's ways to do it, and they better invest in it, and they better do it before 2024.
It should all be done and finished and ready to go by this time next year.
They have one year to get this done and get prepared and get ready, regardless who's running Democrat, who's running Republican, it doesn't matter.
That's gonna have to happen uh if we want to be successful in in future elections.
Uh other Joe Biden news, what else do we got here?
The looks like President Chi's investment in the Biden family's financial well-being has uh, yep, another reward from the big guy, uh Washington Times reporting that Biden is now planning to remove Chinese companies from the red flag trade list, signaling his desire to improve ties with the hostile regime of President Chi on such issues as climate change.
You just can't make up how stupid our government can be and how dumb they are.
Biden is literally sending South Africa eight billion dollars to shut down coal plants.
Why would they why are we involved in South Africa's energy problem when we have a grid in New England that might actually have a blackout this year?
I mean, it's absolut it's insane what he's doing.
Then he has he's pledged another fifty-five billion dollars in investment um in where he went at uh where was he in Africa?
55 billion.
What is where are we getting the fifty-five billion dollars from?
Think of what one billion dollars is.
If all of you had a million dollars, you'd be happy.
You have one billion dollars, fifty-five billion dollars.
Eight billion dollars that he's he's gonna spend to shut down coal plants in South Africa.
Let them shut their own coal plants down.
Why are we paying for that?
Why is the American taxpayer on the hook for any of this stuff?
Biden's energy department funneling millions to Beijing.
Why are we why are we giving the communist Chinese any consideration?
Maybe except the one point five billion dollar deal with Bank of China.
Maybe it has to do with the hundred thousand dollar Hunter Biden family shopping spree.
Maybe it's the five million dollar zero interest forgivable loan.
Linda, if I gave you a five million dollar interest-free forgivable loan, uh would you would you implement the forgiveness part?
In other words, doesn't that mean you don't have to pay it back?
That is what it means.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Anyway, uh that you know that that's the good news to start today.
So the administration can't wait for you to take off.
Here we go.
Yeah, well, I begin my long vacation.
I need to find Jesus.
I need to find God.
I need to re I need a reset big time, like I do every Christmas.
No matter how no matter how hard I try, I'll say when I get back to work, I'm gonna try and and keep this this great feeling of relaxation and Western relaxation going.
I'm gonna stay disciplined and and do my workouts and and spend time with God and do it all the things that are important.
I I'm back at work three hours and that feeling is gone.
It's the way it works.
Um but I do usually have a reset throughout the year.
Uh Biden wants to regulate now how fast boaters can go because it apparently this is to save the whales.
Did you read about this?
I did not.
Okay.
This is probably the greatest regulatory overreach in American maritime law.
Uh that's how one person described Biden's proposal.
They're limiting the speed of all motor boats over thirty-five feet from Florida to Massachusetts.
Now, the guy that is uh speaking out about this is the president of the National Marine Manufacturers Association, and he's one of a growing number of voices expressing outrage over the proposal.
Now, why do people buy motor boats?
They don't buy them to go 35 miles an hour.
I mean, my daughter has a little boat, like a little Boston whaler boat thing with a two hundred horsepower engine, and that thing can fly.
Now you don't buy a boat to go slow.
If you want to do any jet skiing or whatever that people do, or what are they they pull you on a board or whatever?
They have the wave running and that's it, wave boards or something.
Yeah, there's all kinds.
I don't swim.
I don't watch it.
I don't do it.
Because every time I watch it, I'm having a heart attack that somebody's gonna get killed.
Uh anyway, so it is beyond stupid, and the regulation would restrict the speed to ten knots or eleven point five miles an hour uh for boats over thirty-five feet for seven months out of the year and up to a hundred miles an hour out at sea.
If you're out there, you know, deep sea fishing for crying out loud.
Now the purpose is to prevent the boats from hitting an endangered right whale.
Now most captains are actually pretty good at spotting dolphins and whales and and I've seen them myself being out on boats.
I'm not the biggest boat lover, but that's what they're doing.
Uh then I told you about the money they're sending to South Africa, uh, eight billion dollars to shut down coal plants there.
Uh Joe Biden said to African leaders, I may show up the The poor relatives always show up.
The wealthy ones never show up.
The poor come and they eat your food and stay longer than they should.
What the hell is he talking about?
He actually said this to African leaders.
I may show up.
The poor relatives always show up.
The wealthy ones never show up.
The poor come and they eat your food and they stay longer than they should.
The RNC tweeted this out today, and I'm reading this.
I'm like, what is wrong with this guy's mind?
What is he even saying there?
The Biden administration is suing Arizona over the creation of a ship, the shipping container border wall to stop illegal immigration.
Why would they stop?
Here you have Governor Deucey in Arizona spending Arizona money to create the border wall that he should create so that people can't violate the laws of this country, and Joe Biden wants to take the wall down to facilitate even more illegal immigration in the country.
That's your president, Joe Biden.
Now Biden also's in the news everywhere today.
So is he liable then for all the deaths that will be caused for the fentanyl that comes across with them through those?
I mean, I think if he's willing to take that liability, then at some point you're complicit.
I believe that.
If you know we're losing what, 300 people a day?
I mean, the numbers are phenomenal.
I'm saying when babies and police officers, like a baby can't play, a cop can't do their job.
We got a problem.
The National Archives wants to release hundreds of pages of emails about Hunter Biden and Barisma, and the White House won't say whether they're gonna let it happen.
Imagine if Donald Trump ever said that.
A new foreign policy headache for Biden is Israel now with Bibi Netanyahu coming into power, that makes them nervous.
Now he's the longest serving prime minister in Israeli history.
He's gonna be on the program later today.
And he has more moral clarity than any other single leader on the world stage.
Thank God he just got re-elected.
A lot of people were writing his obituary that he was done, his years in politics were over.
No, he's back.
Apparently, the COVID origins may have been tied to China's bioweapons program.
A new House report has come out.
House Republicans state that the virus spilled over to the human population.
I think at least when Republicans get in power, they're going to be able to look into issues like this.
Not things that you'd ever expect to have to bring up, but of course, you know, we need to uh, in my view, get to the bottom of the origins of COVID, but we already kind of know that it came from the Wuhan Virology Lab where everybody knew gain of function research happened, where everybody knew that coronavirus research happened.
Oh, by the way, did you see John Boehner's back?
The crybaby that he is.
John Boehner started crying at a Nancy Pelosi tribute.
I'm like, this this guy cries at the drop of a hat.
So he writes this book.
He takes shots at me in the book, because I dared to call him out as a weak leader that he was and is.
Cries at the drop of a hat.
I've never met this guy where I he didn't have the worst cigarette and wine breath.
If I lit a match in front of this guy, he'd explode.
I mean, I sat down once.
I go into his office or where we're doing this interview, and I'm like, whoa!
I mean, it he just reeks of red wine and and smoking.
And you know what he's doing for a living now?
He's in the weed business.
I mean, you can't, you can't make this up.
Anyway, he started crying during a tribute speech to Nancy Pelosi.
Uh when I became speaker and you handed me the gavel in the House chamber, I decided uh why not?
I'm gonna give you a big kiss.
Well, two things happened.
First, the speaker like backed away.
And I thought to myself, as if there's nobody watching, I can't let her rebuff me, so I kind of moved in and made sure I plan back kiss on her, right?
Well, let me tell you, I heard about it for months.
No, actually, I heard about it for years.
Uh, You've been incredibly effective as the leader of your caucus.
You know, the younger generation today has a saying, game recognizes game.
And the fact of the matter is, no other Speaker of the House in the modern era, Republican or Democrat, Here it comes.
Here come the tears.
Has wielded the gavel with such authority or with such consistent results?
Let me just say you're one tough cookie.
Oh my gosh.
You know, I can tell.
This is why I'm not a Republican.
I can't take it.
I can't take it.
I'm embarrassed for him.
I'm telling you, this there has to be a scientific study on the combination of red wine and cigarettes to the consumption level that he has that makes one cry at the level that he cries at, because he's the biggest crybaby I've ever seen in my life.
It's very common.
How many how many vodkas a night am I allowed before I turn into a big crying baby?
What we say is we gotta keep Paul Pelosi and Boehner apart, because those two together, poor Nancy.
Might be the time I feel sorry for.

Some of the coolest Christmas music.
What was that?
The Siberian Orchestra.

Like Manheim steamrollers are really good too.
All right, well, I just gotta get this off my chest.
Let me just put this out of the way.
So did you watch any of this Megan and Harry crap on Netflix?
Okay, I did watch a little bit of it.
Because everybody was watching it.
And I have to check it out.
I can't take it.
These are two people that say they want privacy.
These are two people that want privacy that move to the what the most expensive area in Santa Barbara, one of the most expensive cities in all of California, Montecito, where Where Oprah has her big mansion.
Okay.
They go on Oprah.
If you want privacy, don't go on Oprah.
If you want privacy, you don't do a Netflix docuseries.
If you want privacy, you don't write a book trashing your family.
If you want privacy, you stay private.
It's achievable.
Especially with the type of money they have.
It is so narcissistic.
I have come to despise both of them at a level that I never thought I could.
Now I get Piers Morgan.
Now I know I walked off that show.
It is they are insufferable narcissists.
I can't take it.
It's awful.
Don't watch it.

All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
I am shocked at your reaction to my reaction to this Harry and Meghan thing.
They are insufferable people.
They say they want privacy.
If they want privacy, you can have privacy.
I know how to.
If you want to be private, don't go on Oprah.
If you want to be private, don't write a book.
If you want to be private, don't do a Netflix series on the drama, which is your everyday life.
It is insufferable.
What?
I mean, you know, I despise them way longer than you have.
And uh this goes way back on the show.
I just think that they're disgusting people, and what he did to his grandma was disgusting.
And I don't know.
I look at Will and Kate, and they're just, you know, they're doing their thing.
They're still part of the royal family, and somehow there are they're more on the hush than these two who literally do nothing.
There's nothing redeeming or interesting about either of them.
They're both ridiculous.
I don't know who's worse.
Listen, maybe it's me too.
I don't particularly like Charles, the father.
Oh, he's the worst.
Did you see when he was signing?
Oh my God.
I don't know if you saw this.
He was signing something like when he was, you know, taking over the throne, and somebody had was given him like some document to sign.
And you know, unlike when he got impatient.
He got impatient and something was on the table.
And unlike Joe, you know, he had it right side up, so he was already ahead of the game.
You know, he knew where the line was to sign, and he wasn't renting the Easter bunny, so I thought this could be promising.
Here's what I here's what I don't like.
He always loved this Camilla Parker balls, right?
So he always loved it.
The one he had the affair with and cheated on his wife with?
Okay, but but wasn't she the girlfriend before Princess Diana?
I don't know.
Okay.
So he marries this poor girl knowing he loves another woman because that's what he's supposed to do.
That's what the Royals do.
Well, I mean, nothing he but that wasn't an easy thing either, so I don't know why he did that.
I mean, he ruined that woman's life, in my view, and made her absolutely miserable.
Uh, she gave that horrific interview with what was it, Martin Brashier.
Uh, wasn't he the same guy that did the Michael Jackson interview?
He did a lot of those interviews back in the day.
We would get some cookies and and milk.
You do that too well.
It freaks me out.
It really is free.
And cookies, a little milk, and you know, warm fire.
No, it makes my stomach hurt.
It's it's what the whole world should do.
It's love.
Please, it's Christmas.
Be kind.
It's too much, man.
Well, you think so?
There's a big controversy on Twitter over this kid, uh Jeremiah Johnson is his name.
He's a 12-year-old, apparently a talented athlete, running back for in Fort Worth, Texas.
And the internet is all you know dumbfounded over the fact he's apparently sh big and strong and mature.
He does.
He looks really old.
Okay, so he became a viral sensation.
By the way, I love good athletes.
Anybody has natural talent and athletics, I'm interested in.
Because I I just love seeing talented people.
Anyway, so the athlete becomes a viral sensation, a photo of him with facial hair and a tattoo.
Remember, he's supposed to be 12 years old.
Surfaced on social media following the youth national championships over the weekend of Miami, where he got the MVP, and his Dallas Dragons Elite Academy won the championship game, and he can be seen holding the trophy that read 12 under Division One most valuable player in a separate video.
He could be heard claiming that he is indeed 12 years old.
And Generation Next, the National Youth Sports School and Network in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, shared the photos uh on Facebook and Instagram identifying him as a 12 and under football player.
Nonetheless, not everyone on the internet is convinced that the Phenom is 12 years old, including one NFL pro, uh, and that's my Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill, who tweeted if that 12-year-old really is a 12-year-old's my son's not playing football, these kids are built different.
I'm not sure exactly what he meant by that, but he's saying obviously that he's physically as strong as somebody much older.
Well, if you see if you see the picture, and I don't know if if people have or not, um, but if you see the picture, he definitely looks like a much older person.
He doesn't he does not look 12.
By any Jason's agreeing with me in the background.
He does he doesn't look 12.
He doesn't.
I'm seeing the picture for the first time.
I can't believe that.
You can't believe I mean I didn't have a mustache at 12 years old.
How do you But there were kids in my eighth grade class that did?
How do you get a tattoo at 12 years old?
Parents are busy.
No, no.
I don't know.
Kids are getting a lot of work done at younger ages these days.
Uh no, but the question is, isn't it it's not illegal to give a 12-year-old a tattoo?
I mean, I think it's probably I mean a lot of things are illegal, Sean.
It doesn't mean people don't do it.
I don't understand the obsession with tattoos either.
Oh, I hate tattoos, but you know, that's just me.
Now we were gonna get some in my dojo.
Everyone was gonna agree to get I'm not getting a tattoo.
I will say Anthony has a beautiful tattoo.
What does he got a tattoo?
He has um Philippians on his arm, and he has a tattoo of Jesus, and he has another tattoo of his daughter, and his his sons have the same thing.
So I will say I like that.
So does that mean you're gonna get tatted up now?
Oh my god.
First of all, what is good for some is not good for all.
That that white Irish skin of yours will be being red forever.
My father, when I was very young, and I love to it to this day, told me no tattoos and no piercings.
When I got my ears pierced at the age of thirteen, my father did not speak to me for three months.
Uh I had a little run in.
Well, I told my kids if on the tattoo side.
I said, You can get a tattoo, but I'm gonna acid wash it off.
Oh gosh.
Well, I'm obviously not gonna do that, but um but I can you don't want your kids to get all that stuff.
No.
It's not a good look, and you can't undo it.
Well, you can, but it's expensive and painful.
You can't I don't know if you really can do it and do it in a really good way.
I've seen people that have had him taken off.
I had an uncle who had some a lot of tattoos from the Navy, and it just didn't look good.
It didn't look right.
My uncle, my uncle, my grandfather who came right from Ireland and I did I shakcha, and I'd say, Grandpa, I'm gonna get a tattoo just like you.
He served in the in the Navy.
You're you're a damn fool you are.
A damn fool.
That's what he said to me.
He was right.
Uh but I said just like you.
I said, Well, you got one, grandpa.
I think if you get one where it's private to you in your private time in your private life, that's fine.
Private to you, private time, what private places, private parts, is that what you're saying?
It's not a Howard's third show.
I'm just saying, like Wow, that's what it sounds like.
Uh, listen, Papa, you took it there.
I didn't do that.
That was all you right there.
Anyway.
Uh you're the one that's talking about now.
Do you does it bother you that Anthony has his tattoos?
No, I love everything about him, Including his tattoos.
All right.
That's cool.
It looks good on him, and I mean it's a it's you know, praising, it's in service to our almighty.
So doesn't it really matter where one's heart is at the end of the day?
Absolutely.
But if he had a neck tattoo, that it never would have started, I'll tell you that.
I don't understand you watching these prison shows or these people with tattoos all over their face now.
I'm like, that freaks me out.
I don't get face tattoos.
Or or look at even like Justin Bieber.
Like I think one of his arms is completely tatted out.
I saw a woman on the news yesterday.
She's one of these great conservative moms fighting back against the school boards, and I was watching her speak, and I thought, oh, it's such a cute top she has on.
And Ethan said to me without missing a bee, he goes, Linda, it's not a top.
Those are tattoos on her arms from shoulder to to her wrist.
It's a lot.
Um so everybody wants me to start talking about 2024.
I am not ready to talk about 2024.
You know, there's a lot of time between now and the nomination process.
Now, one year from now, we're gonna go away on Christmas vacation, and we're gonna come back and we're gonna be talking a lot about who's running, you know, primaries coming up, uh, the Democrats move to South Carolina.
That was Joe, that was a power play by Joe Biden.
That tells me Joe Biden really is running.
And these new progressive ads that are out there are interesting for me because they hate Joe Biden seemingly more than I do.
Except they don't they they don't even recognize I look.
I think every Democrat recognized that Joe Biden is a cognitive mess, but I think in a lot of ways, Democrats like it because Joe Biden basically will do whatever they want and not know what he's doing and doesn't really care.
So I would think that they want Joe Biden there because he will implement their agenda.
He's not gonna change.
He's I I don't think he knows that today is Thursday.
He follows his note cards, go into room, sit down, say hello, uh speak for one minute, say this, this, this, and this.
Thank everybody for coming.
Uh ask, does anybody have any questions?
Do not take more than two questions, or take a question from A, this person, B, this person.
Then I would stand up, thank everyone for coming again.
Turn around to your right, not your left, to your right, shake the air and leave the room.
I mean, that's what we have as a president.
It's like a turn around, ask small child where to go.
Do not sniff.
I repeat, do not sniff.
By the way, the girl that uh this week, and we did show it on Hannity, this she was a adorable little girl.
And she's like, No, no, it's over this way.
You you exit over here, and she points which way to go.
And I'm like, Oh, thank God.
He's focused on which way to go and not sniffing her hair.
So sad.
It's just sad.
What did Jill give him before he spoke?
What do you think it was?
You think it was a Worthers?
By the way, I don't know.
What do you think that was?
There was a big There's a lot of brouhaha over it.
I'm not sure.
I don't think she would have given him anything that he really needed in the public.
I'm assuming it was probably like a lifesaver's or a Worthers or something.
Six days from now, that's what it's gonna take.
Six days until the end of Title 42.
Did you see the lines of that are now forming at our southern border?
Because what happens in six days when Title 42 ends is people get into the country and you can't get them out.
And that means I I think the Democrats want this because they're not lifting a finger to do anything.
The only finger they lifted is to try to stop Governor Deucey out in Arizona who put the the cargo containers together as offense to prevent people from entering Arizona illegally.
Uh we have now Governor Abbott, he's just decided to activate the Texas National Guard and and they're gonna be down at the border protecting it, and if people enter Texas illegally, he's sending them back.
Now that's not happening in El Paso.
The problem is that it's such a massive problem in the Rio Grande sector in particular, that there's so many people coming.
What are they gonna do?
I think that Mayorcus and his family should go and live right in El Paso because Mayorcus made congressional testimony stating that the border is secure.
So he should live by his credo and he should go there, and he should show all of us by example how secure it is.
And as the illegal immigrants trudge through his backyard, and he takes iPhone video, and he maybe he could do all of his speeches right from the backyard and talk about how secure it is.
I think that's that's a really good plan.
So New York mayor Eric Adams is asking Joe Biden for one billion dollars because of for illegal immigrants.
This is the breakdown.
It's 23.4 million for shelter in Manhattan run by Community Housing Innovations Inc.
I'm sure there's no corruption.
20.5 million, a shelter in Queens run by some other group, 12 million for a shelter in Queens run by another group, 10.7 million for a shelter in the Bronx run by a group, 10.1 million for a shelter in Brooklyn run by a group, 9.6 million for a shelter in Brooklyn, another shelter in Brooklyn.
Then you got 8.2 million for translation services from a from a group called Accurate Communication Inc.
Uh and so on and so forth.
He wants a billion dollars because of all of the illegal immigrants.
Remember it was Rob Astorino, the former Westchester County uh what was he?
You know, the head of Westchester County, somebody, I forget the actual position.
Anyway, he was the one that tipped us off that these flights were happening.
In other words, you got the big airports in the New York area.
You've got LaGuardia, you got JFK, you've got Newark in New Jersey.
Those would be your three big airports.
Then you have smaller airports, uh, two on Long Island, for example, one in Islip, one in Farmingdale.
You have White Plains has a small strip.
Then you got you know, Albany and Buffalo and other airports throughout the state.
But they never land the illegal immigrants in the big airports.
What they do is in the dark of night, or to quote Gensaki, no, no, 2 a.m. is uh that's called an early morning flight.
No, it's not.
They drop people off in the dark of night.
They do it in obscure airports where people don't see it, people can't film it, nobody knows it's happening.
Uh oh, I know what he was.
Westchester uh county supervisor.
He was a Westchester County executive.
Executive, yeah.
And so he was the first person to tip us off that this was happening.
But it's happening all over the country, and it's always it's never the big airport.
If it's Los Angeles, it's not LAX.
If it's in San Francisco, it's not one of the big airports in San Francisco or or Oakland.
It's going to be an obscure airport.
You know, a lot of where the private jets land.
You know, most people don't know this.
Our government, between helicopters and private jets, they have a fleet of over a thousand.
For all the talk about global warming, carbon emissions, etc., they're the ones that use those private jets and those helicopters to go pretty much everywhere they have to travel, including our climate czar John Kerry.
And if John Kerry's not using a government plane, he's using his own private plane.
Now, I don't have anything against private aircraft.
Obviously, I want to be on it as much as I possibly can.
Who wants to wait online on a TSA and and you know travel with Sweet Baby James?
It guarantees you get wanted a thousand times, very personally, too.
Um you ever travel with Sweet Baby James?
For the record, I took over that responsibility with our crew.
He didn't get it the last two times.
I did.
So it got passed on to me.
Oh, you were the one that you were the one that got us all wonderful.
Well, any time any of you get wanted, I get wanted.
It's like it's like one somebody on the Hannity team, Juan Hannity.
Listen, the team that wands together stays together.
That's why we've been together so long on the show.
I I it's I think you're nowhere.
You're like, I can't take that in here.
I've got nothing.
All right, when we come back, how big a financial donation was the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop.
We'll quantify that on the other side.
