If you want to be a part of the program, our top stories for you.
We are following.
Yeah, apparently our government has known for some days now that America's under assault from a uh Chinese uh spying operation with this reconnaissance balloon uh flying over the continental United States, seemingly unable to make a decision.
How about we either, if we can send guys to the moon, we either capture the balloon, which would be my first choice, uh, and bring it back down to Earth.
I mean, we have the ability to send men to the moon, get out of their spaceship, and and start walking around the moon and and playing with golf balls.
So if we have and bring them home, I would think we'd be able to get a a Chinese uh reconnaissance balloon out of the air.
Uh we had two Air Force F-22 scrambling to get this uh where the balloon was observed.
Uh can they figure out a way to get it down?
And if they can do that, how about we shoot it down?
Uh this is the same Chinese government that doesn't want a speaker of the House to visit Taiwan.
The same ones flying their fighter uh aircraft all over Taiwan airspace, and they're so sensitive.
And the big response is what, Tony Blinken, who's useless anyway, just doesn't decides he's not gonna go.
Anyway, uh here to talk about this uh is the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee chairman, James Comer.
Now he's looking into two very specific issues.
One is the top secret classified information that is found in five separate locations as it relates to the Bidens.
And uh then, of course, the Biden family syndicate, and we've been spending a lot of time talking about that, and Joe Biden lying to the American people, saying not once did he ever talk to Hunter about his foreign business dealings.
We know that to be a lie.
Uh Congressman Comer, great to have you.
Um, and by the way, I I know you fully expect to be smeared, slandered, besmirched, attacked, you know, as this new uh Biden war machine uh as up and running, or their war room is up and running, and on all these legal lot letters are flying out all over the place.
Uh, but I don't think that's gonna stop you from doing your job.
Am I correct?
You are correct.
They've been attacking me and Jim Jordan for two months straight.
Uh it's nonstop on their blogs, their their uh MSNBC network, uh anything that uh uh has more than one crazy liberal on it, uh they're attacking me, but that's not gonna stop anything we're doing.
I think one thing that's changed Sean from November when we had our press conference right after the midterm election, announcing the Biden investigation to today is the majority, believe it or not, of the mainstream media recognizes that this administration has completely lied about their their family's shady business dealings.
They're lying about these documents, they're not being transparent with anything, and I think the tide is finally turning with the Bidens now.
When you look at the money, and I spent a great deal of time last night going over the you know, because we've been reaching out to the Biden folks for a long time to get answers to questions, And believe it or not, oh you know, dozens of times.
And we have been denied uh every single time any comment as it relates to Joe Biden.
Now, I went in great specificity and great detail about what happened yesterday, letters here, there, everywhere with the DOJ, the IRS, media outlets, uh Hunter's lawyers are asking uh Pops to put an end to the discrimination on the material on Hunter's laptop from hell.
They seemingly admit and on the one hand that they it is his laptop, on the other hand, they're denying it's his laptop.
Can we get a straight answer?
That would be a good start.
You know, but now that they're engaged, finally, uh I'm I'm sending over probably what will be a hundred questions uh that we've been trying to get answers to.
Uh we've made dozens of requests.
Uh they don't confirm or deny anything.
And uh anyway, like the Senate reported to pointed out, you know, no experience.
Hunter admits on Good Morning America and oil gas of Ukraine, but he collected a huge monthly sum from Barisma.
He admitted he had no experience.
Why was he paid this money?
Uh and around the same time that was when Joe Biden went to Ukraine because he was heading up the Ukraine effort for the Obama administration and said, and he bragged about it later that he's you're not getting a billion dollars until you fire the prosecutor who is investigating Barisma and his son Hunter.
He gave them six hours, or else they're not getting the money.
And then son of a bee, they gave them the money.
And then if you look at the reports about Joe Biden when it comes to, you know, Russia, three and a half million dollars from a Russian oligarch, have you confirmed the hundred million dollar investment from the same oligarch, the former First Lady of Moscow in a real estate venture with the Bidens?
Yeah.
Everything's fallen into play, Sean.
Everything you said, and you know, we're to the point now, I I I think every reasonable American realizes that the Biden family, and that would be both the president's two brothers as well as his son, have taken millions and millions of dollars that they should have never taken.
But what we're into now, uh, from our investigation, is there are potentially five instances where Joe Biden, as either vice president or president, has made major decisions that were uh in in direct opposition to what would have been in the best interest of the American people?
And in all five of those instances, you can trace significant sums of money coming from our adversaries to Biden family members.
In other words, we fear this administration's compromise because of all the money that the Biden family's taken, and I think the press corps and the liberal elites in Washington are starting to recognize that Joe Biden's got a major problem.
The Senate committee that investigated uh a lot of these issues, the Senate Homeland Security Committee, other committees.
In 2013, Hunter travels with his father to China on Air Force Two.
It was a big Asia trip, and China was part of it.
Ten days later, the Senate committee claimed that he struck a lucrative deal with the Bank of China, a billion dollars that later became a billion five, despite his terrible re reputation.
Um why would they give such a big job to a guy that we don't see has has any experience in this field at all?
You know, why did wouldn't you go to Morgan Stanley or Deutsche Bank or Goldman Sachs?
Um do you have any explanation for that?
And can you confirm the billion five deal with the Bank of China?
I can confirm that he had multiple deals with Chinese interests that were uh funnel money through the Bank of China.
Now we've requested these bank records and these bank violations.
They will list those foreign transactions.
Uh we have reports of what they were, but once we get those bank records, then we'll know whether or not that is factual.
But I think the odds are very good that they were.
Now, what we do know from talking to the various people that we've been meeting with over the past year that were in Hunter Biden's circle is their business model, and when I say they, I'm talking about Hunter Biden and both the president's brothers.
Their business model with our adversaries is they would go in and they would say, We have access to the highest levels of our government.
And it's not just the Biden name.
We have access to cabinet secretaries.
We have access to department heads.
We can help you navigate the bureaucracy, even though our country's government isn't supposed to do business with you.
We can make things happen.
We can park the wave.
We can do whatever we can to help you if you pay us enough money.
Let me ask this question.
Can you prove that that was their pitch?
Do you have evidence to that?
There are two lawsuits right now where people have claimed in federal bankruptcy court that Joe Biden's brother made a pitch to them that he could help this health care company in in Tennessee.
It was a startup healthcare company that they could uh he could help them get millions of dollars of money from the United Arab Emirates through his brother's contacts if they give him enough money to go over there and do some bribes and uh meet with some government officials in the in the United Arab Emirates.
So uh there are two lawsuits where the records are fairly public.
We've got other whistleblowers that have come forward.
Now, Sean, what I plan on doing is in the in the coming weeks, we plan on having some of these people start coming in for uh transcribed interviews, depositions, and eventually committee hearings.
So, you know, this investigation is well under its way.
Uh we had the transcribed interview dealing with the documents this week.
Next week we've got the three Twitter employees coming in for a committee hearing.
I mean, this investigation's well under well underway, and I think we're gonna start having a lot more uh answers to our questions very soon.
So these people you believe are gonna testify under oath and in other cases they already have to that fact.
Well, they've uh they they're suing Biden family members.
I mean, everybody looks at Hunter Biden, and it's bad with Hunter Biden, but people forget about the president's other brothers.
The only reason we don't talk about the president's brother is because they didn't leave a laptop lying around.
This was a family business.
This wasn't just the president's son, this was the president's two brothers as well.
And there's evidence out there that we've been accumulating for nearly a year on the president's brothers that's consistent with with Hunter Biden.
The one difference with the brothers is they were involved in more Middle Eastern deals.
So, you know, we always hear about Hunter Biden in Ukraine, Russia, and China, and it's bad there.
But the brothers were involved in Middle Eastern deals.
So, you know, it's just the one thing that's consistent with this family is they did business with our adversaries around the world.
And this is all gonna come to light very soon.
Quick break.
We'll come back more with House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Comer on the other side.
Then we'll get to your calls 800-941 Sean.

I will continue with House Oversight Committee Chair Jim Comer, who's with us.
You said at one point that this was an investigation into the president himself, Joe Biden.
You stand by that, and what did you mean by that?
You we don't know what's legal and what's not legal with respect to insolence peddling.
And at the end of the day, once it's investigation's over, I hope that there's a legislative fix to determine what is allowable and what isn't allowable with respect to family members profiting off the president of the United States.
Having said that, what this investigation is about is Joe Biden.
What did Joe Biden know?
What role did Joe Biden play?
And did Joe Biden benefit financially from his family's shady business dealings?
And did Joe Biden make decisions that were not in the best interest of the American people because of all the money his family received from our adversaries.
That's what we're investigating.
But isn't that illegal already, or you don't know that fact?
If what if what is alleged is true, is that illegal?
We believe it is.
If Joe Biden made decisions against the best interest of the American people for financial gain, then I believe that is very illegal.
Now we all saw the tape of Joe Biden, you know, bragging uh that you're not I told them in Ukraine you're not getting the billion dollars.
You're not gonna get it.
Uh you got six hours, and he was demanding that a prosecutor in Ukraine as vice president be fired, or else they're not going to get a billion.
I believe they were loan guarantees.
But of taxpayer money.
So, and then he's they gave him the he gave them the six-hour deadline, and his words were son of a bee.
They fired him.
And they got the money, and the prosecutor that we found out was investigating Barisma and Hunter Biden.
Uh I guess that investigation stopped.
Now, that sounds an awful lot like a quid pro quote to me.
Do you think that's a quid pro quo?
Well, the Democrats would call that a quid pro quo and uh an impeachable offense, wouldn't you think, Sean?
Well, I would think that if Donald Trump were president and all this money was flowing from China, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and God knows where else, uh, into Eric uh Trump's deals and and Don Jr.'s deals and Ivanka's deals.
Yeah, I I I think they would be calling it that and worse and screaming uh bloody murder.
Exactly.
And it's just unbelievable the double standard that the media has, but I think I think that's turning, Sean.
I mean, you're seeing CBS, they're starting to grill Jean-Pierre in the in the briefing room.
Uh, they're starting to have stories on this.
Even CNN is digging around on on some of this stuff.
I mean, the me I talk to reporters of the ABC and NBC as well.
They're investigative reporters.
They realize that this president has not been truthful about his his family's shady business dealings.
At the very least, they know he knew about every one of them.
They've seen the pictures, they've seen the email.
I think they watch Hannity now at night, so if they get caught up on what's going on.
Well, we we were the ones that I didn't get the crap beat out of me by the Columbia Journalism Review uh over reporting the dirty Russian Clinton bought and paid for dossier.
Um it was the New York Times and the Washington Post that were wrong, and that little show Hannity ended up being vindicated time and time again on our reporting of as we got the spy balloon now over Kansas.
Uh maybe somebody in the Defense Department will say we need to retrieve that balloon and bring it back down to Earth.
And I think that's something that's very doable.
Um anyway, we appreciate your work and time.
Thank you so much, Congressman James Comer.
Thank you, Sean.
800-941 Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program, will hit the phones today on this Friday.
We have Hannity tonight with all the latest details on this intelligence balloon.
Music.
You can't always get what you want, but you can get Sean Hannity online at Hannity.com.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Glad you're with us this Friday.
Uh, we got a big show tonight on Hannity, uh, a live audience show.
Uh Mike Pompeo will be our special guest, weighing in on uh Joe Biden, seemingly doing nothing about the reconnaissance balloon, you know, spotted over Missouri as of late.
That was uh as of this afternoon.
And uh what is Joe doing?
The only thing they've done is uh Anthony Blinken, who's useless anyway, has canceled this trip or postponed it to Rush uh China.
Big deal.
Anyway, we'll get to your calls on this in a second.
800-941 Sean is our number.
You know, if you are a believer as I am in the sanctity of life, the miracle of life being a gift, natural rights come from God.
We believe that life in general comes from God.
Uh, I believe that as well, and life is precious.
Uh, that's why we have proudly partnered with this great group called Pre-Born Pregnancy Network.
And they don't get, by the way, a penny from the federal government, and they are using the science of ultrasound uh when there's an unexpected pregnancy or woman's considering abortion to let them make the most informed decision possible.
And what they have discovered is with this imaging that is now better than it's ever been, you can see fingers and toes and facial features and hear the heartbeat, is that when expecting moms see and hear that that they choose life more often than not, they've rescued over 200,000 babies just through the use of ultrasound science.
Now, one ultrasound is 28 bucks.
Uh, they get no government funding.
You can you can sponsor one, you can sponsor five for a hundred and forty bucks.
That means you're helping to rescue babies' lives uh and putting your money where your principles are.
And I'm going to be donating as well.
Uh, every gift is tax deductible.
A hundred percent of your donation goes to the cause.
You can donate securely.
You take out your cell phone, you dial pound two fifty, say the keyword baby.
Pound two fifty, keyword baby, or just go to their website, preborn.com slash Sean.
That's preborn.com slash Sean.
Great organization.
All right.
Uh so, you know, I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
You know, we have America under assault by the communist Chinese.
Remember this?
Up and away, my little boy, my little boy, my little boy, my little boy, my little boy.
The world's a nice surface.
Now there are options.
No, no, you can keep the music up.
We have the option of going up there and retrieving the balloon.
That would be my favorite option.
And if that doesn't work, I think we have other options.
And one of them would be, you know, we know where the balloon is.
It's been over Missouri for a good part of the day today.
Communist church.
Uh what's it, Kansas?
And then it was over Montana.
Missouri.
It's yeah, it's been over Missouri for a good part of the day.
Kansas, yes.
Uh, you just can't make it up.
Or they could just shoot the sucker right out of the eye sky.
Why are we getting lectured, allowing the Chinese to lecture us?
You know, we had two Air Force fighter jets scrambling from Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada to Montana, where the balloon was Observed.
Well, if we can send people to the moon and the communist Chinese have a reconnaissance balloon spying us on us in our airspace, either retrieve it and learn from it what is in it, or shoot it down.
Those are the only two options I see.
All right, 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Don is in Iowa.
Don, that balloons close to you right now.
How are you doing?
Hi, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
I'm a uh truck driver.
I'm actually in New Mexico right now, coming home.
Well, you know what?
Everybody maybe whatever state it's the balloon is flying over.
Everybody should step out of the house and shoot the bird to the uh communist Chinese.
I do that every day.
Anyway, um the uh first of all, I'm a marine veteran with Intel experience as well.
Well, you get two Semper Fies.
One for being an amazing uh Marine, second, you get one for being a trucker, and you know my love and passion for truckers because every store would be empty if it wasn't for the hard work that you guys do, and it's been particularly hard the last couple of years uh because I have friends in the trucking business.
Your promotion of trucking has helped us in the past, I promise, and in ways you wouldn't even know.
But uh thank you.
And uh the the uh Democrats probably want us to believe it's the professor from the Wizard of Oz flying over Kansas in a balloon, by the way.
Um and uh but in all honesty, i in two thousand one or two thousand yeah, two thousand one, the Chinese knocked a an American spy plane out of the out of the sky that was uh on a reconnaissance mission, and they didn't mess around with it.
They sent the uh uh uh recovery jet up to mess with it, and it flew into some of the uh um ailerons and knocked the plane out of the sky.
The Chinese captured that plane and got a ton of intelligence information from us.
They weren't afraid to knock it down.
They went ahead and they did it.
I don't want to just knock it down and ruin every bit of equipment when it crashes to Earth.
I'd rather recover it if it if at all possible, and and I've gotta believe if we can send men to the moon and they can walk on the moon that we can recover this stupid reconnaissance balloon.
Absolutely.
I'd put a round through it and make it just descend slowly, if that's their only option.
And this way here they can It might be a way to get a controlled descent on this.
I mean, think about I've been in uh C 130 once when I flew to uh Iraq and and I I was there for two in-air refuelings, one of the most phenomenal operations.
It's you know, twenty-two-year-old pilots for crying out loud.
These guys were amazing.
And watching an in-air refueling is incredible.
You know, how many times do we have five tanker?
Well, what if we had somebody uh in a parachute fly if at all I don't know if this is possible.
I'm just throwing out ideas as a civilian.
I don't know what's possible or not.
You know, but I want to find a way to recover that balloon and bring it down to Earth and take it.
I want it it's our balloon.
It's flying over our airspace.
We own it.
That's it.
And I and Joe just doesn't seem to care.
Well, you know, is is compromised by the Chinese as the whole Democrat party is Diane Feinstein with her Chinese spy driver who they allowed to retire uh instead of put in prison.
They they let him retire on a California pension.
Ridiculous.
Uh uh Swalwell getting Chang Feng to back his uh campaign for election into Congress, and they allow that to go through.
Ridiculous.
There's so many more instances.
Uh the Chinese are our enemy.
They have been in North Korea, they were our enemy.
In Vietnam, they were our enemy.
Today they are still at our enemy.
We are not at war with them.
They are at war with us.
And we need to stop hitter pattering around with them, and we've got to take uh otherwise they're just gonna walk all over us, and and Joe Biden is going to allow it.
Well, thank you for your service to your country.
Thanks for you know, hauling our food and and supplies to every store that you go to, every city you stop at.
Uh we appreciate all that you do, and we're glad you're out there listening.
I hope you have a great weekend, Don.
Thank you.
Great observations.
Uh all right, let's stay on this.
Uh let's see, Kurt in Utah.
Kurt, how are you?
Uh, what do you think we should do with the beautiful balloon and uh reconnaissance balloon of the Chinese?
Well, Sean, I think we should shoot it down and or recover it, like you're saying.
But uh just like your other caller, I'm a twenty-five year retired disabled army bat, and I'm a truck right now in Kansas.
Wow.
I mean, what similarities?
Well, thank you for your service, and thank you for what you do with uh over the road work, which is really hard.
And I'm sorry you guys have had to struggle a lot in the last two years.
I really am.
I know all about it.
People very close to me in the trucking business, and and I know it's a struggle.
Uh it's it's slowed down a little bit, but hopefully it'll pick back up once we get this guy out of office.
Well, it it's that, but it's also the high price of diesel.
You know, do you are you an owner operator or do you work for a company?
I used to be an owner operator, but I I sold in Biden's first year when the the price was cut too high.
And now I'm a company driver.
I know people that did the same thing, and now they actually lease trucks uh from like Ryder and other places.
And the benefit of leasing the truck is you don't have to worry about finding spare parts.
I know a guy that ran a company and they, you know, it was a small trucking company, I think they had like 10, 12 trucks, something like that.
They had to take one of their trucks and and lay it down and use that as the spare part truck for the other trucks to keep them on the road.
Right, right.
Yeah.
Um anyway, so you think you agree with me on the balloon.
I do.
I do.
And and it it, you know, I scratched my head speaking when when these reports first came out and Biden said shoot it down, and you know, and the Pentagon overruled him.
Well, the Pentagon doesn't have the power to overrule the president.
You mean the commander in chief, the guy that's supposed to make the decision, the guy whose family is in business with China, that guy?
Exactly.
So I don't believe that Biden said shoot it down.
I think that was just a a a cover to you know make Biden look good.
I think he knows all about this, and they're allowing it to happen.
And it it pisses me off, to be honest with you.
I think that he and all of his top generals ought to be uh conferring right now in real time about how to deal with this, and my first preference would be to recover it if you can't shoot it down.
That's it.
Exactly.
Exactly.
I want to see what they're looking at.
And yeah, they give the story.
Well, we're gonna track it to see what they're looking at.
No.
This is our country, this is our airspace.
Absolutely not.
You know, they're supposed to uh be in charge of the security of this country.
What the hell are they doing letting this thing fly over?
Listen, they all ought to be in the situation room, and this ought to be done now.
It should have been done when they first discovered this big beautiful balloon from China was flying over our airspace spying on us.
You know, the fact that it's gone on, they've known about it for days.
They don't tell us as usual.
The most transparent administration.
I'm sorry, they're gathering intelligence on on this country.
And the next thing we gotta stop is selling the strategic petroleum reserves to the Chinese.
And the next thing we gotta stop is allowing the the communist Chinese to be buying our farmland, our ranch land, and buying land near military bases.
How stupid are we?
Hell no.
They're a hostile regime.
They are an enemy of this country, and they've made it clear.
You know, look at the threats that they give our country telling our speak.
Thank you for your service, and thank you for what you do every day to keep our store shelves full.
We appreciate it.
Quick break right back to the phones, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Hey, our friends at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they've started now their Let Us Do Good Village.

Now, Gold Star family called the Hortons, they were the first to move in to this let us do good village, and their widowed Danielle and children Jalen and Kinsley.
Uh they moved there after the death of their husband and father, Robert, a U.S. Army sergeant.
Danielle calls this home the biggest blessing.
And in this let us do good village, gold star families of fallen first responders, uh, and catastrophically injured first responders and service members.
They're all neighbors.

The letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org, and let this be the first of many communities to help out these brave men and women fighting for our liberties and our freedoms.
The final hour of the Sean Hannity show is up next.
Hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941-SEAN, if you want to be a part of the program.
Eric in Texas.
Eric, how are you?
Thank you.
I'm doing well, thank you.
What's going on?
So I I kind of want to hear more about the Project Veritas uh tape that's going on with the Pfizer guy.
Um I also would like to hear, you know, a lot more about like the ongoing COVID fascism.
It seems to be something that uh doesn't really get a lot of playtime on your show, uh, in comparison to like the Hunter Biden stuff.
Well, you have to decide.
My understanding is the guy that you know basically talked about a version uh as I understood it to be gain of function, uh has retracted the story.
What which version do you believe?
The first one or the second one.
Do you think the second one's a CYA?
Whatever it happens to be.
Um, you know, but uh I would like to see Fiza go out and answer a lot more questions.
And every time the CEO of Pfizer's been asked that I've seen, uh I think it was Tommy Larren that actually put a montage together, and I'm like, uh, this guy doesn't want to answer questions.
So um, you know, this is why Eric, remember during the height of COVID, if were you listening to my show at that time?
Oh, yeah.
I've been listening for a very long time.
Well, thank you.
Do you remember me saying over and over again, I'm not a doctor?
I'm not uh you know how much pressure was brought to bear on me and this show to tell my audience that I care deeply about that gives me a life that I love, a passion of mine to be on the radio and TV.
They were telling me that I I I had a responsible duty to be telling all of you what to do with your bodies.
I'm not a doctor, but this is how insane this has gotten.
And I'll tell you this, I come out of this having learned a lot.
I will never, ever, ever trust the government on a health issue again.
That's my conclusion.
Everyone else has to make up their own mind.
But they got everything wrong.
I could not agree more.
I mean, I I've even like did some research into it and found out that if I just use like nasal rents, that helps more than a lot of the other stuff.
Just a saline, a simple saline rents helps as far as clearing up the virus.
There's a lot of information out there that's being hidden.
So it's just stuff that I wish uh would get pounded more, especially like the Veritas thing, because you are so good on uh doing the project Veritas with the abortion stuff.
And you hammered it.
You hammered it.
So I would like to see that same kind of uh that same kind of hammering at home of what's going on behind the scenes with these medical companies.
You know, it's it's it's hard when you have somebody that recants a statement that they made and say it's uh not true.
There's a lot of issues that I have to deal with that I can I really can't even talk about.
Uh not that I won't don't want to be transparent and as open and honest with you as I can that goes on behind the scenes.
I mean, if you knew the scrutiny and the amount of absolute dollars that have to go out to defend my ability to do this show every day, you wouldn't believe it.
You would it's it would shock your conscience, I prom I promise you.
Um hey, uh last thing before I get off, man.
Good job hiring a Texas girl to do your uh to do your phone screening.
Katie is super nice.
Katie's engaged.
Why are you flirting with Katie?
Because that's what you're doing.
Hey, I'm a happily married man, sir.
Eleven years.
Eleven years.
I um I'm gonna take you at your word on that, but it sounds like you're flirting with Katie to me.
I don't know.
That's what I hear.
No, no, no.
She just had that southern hospitality.
That's all, and I appreciated it.
I'm just saying, Linda, didn't you think that sounded a little flirty for Katie?
I'm not getting involved in this.
This sounds weird.
I feel like I'm only gonna make it worse.
By the way, you that's usually the case, so why would why would it be any different?
