	Our two Sean Hannity show, 800 941.
	Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, our interview for the full hour tonight with president Donald J. Trump, uh, we cover a ton of ground, And I think you're going to find it pretty interesting.
	You know, for the longest time, we have been able to highlight the fact that Joe Biden uh said, and we now know lied, and when he said repeatedly during the campaign, I've never once talked to my son Hunter or any family member about their foreign business dealings.
	Uh well, now we have emails that have emerged that show that Joe Biden personally helped draft responses to Hunter Biden's controversial deals when he was vice president.
	Going back, for example, to 2015 is one example.
	Mr Miranda Devine had a piece how Hunter Biden had an FBI mole named One Eye, who tipped off his Chinese business partners that they were under investigation, according to an Israeli energy expert uh arrested in Cyprus last month.
	House Oversight Committee uh is now investigating the explosive c uh claims by Dr. Gal Loft, a former Israeli Defense Forces Lieutenant Colonel with deep intelligence ties in Washington and Beijing, who says he was arrested to stop him from revealing what he knows about the Biden family and FBI corruption.
	I mean, this is getting crazy.
	All of this started thanks to uh Peter Schweitzer.
	And uh, of course, you know, he wrote Secret Empires and a number of best selling books.
	He, along with Eric Eggers join us now.
	They're both with the Government Accountability Institute.
	They both host their own uh uh podcast called Drill Down.
	Uh, welcome both of you back to the program.
	Uh Peter Schweitzer, uh, looks like everything that you were saying for years now is is turning out to be true.
	And you can begin to see that the story of the Biden family syndicate is collapsing.
	Yeah, you're right, Sean.
	Um, you know, you and I uh were the first ones to talk about this publicly back in 2018, and the Biden position has shifted consistently in 2018 when we exposed the deals in China.
	Uh the Biden's denied that there were even any dealings in China.
	Uh then when that proved to be a lie, they switched to saying that, well, you know, Hunter didn't make any money uh from China, and then of course that proved to be a lie, and then they shifted to Joe didn't know anything about them.
	That, of course, is a lie, and then the uh argument became that Joe didn't profit from it, and it appears that that also is a lie.
	So, you know, the question is is why there's really any credibility left.
	What you find, Sean, is not only did they get the money, not only did they get money that they provided no discernible service for, they actually went to serious effort to it to hide or obscure Joe's involvement in it, Joe's ability to make money in it.
	Um, And that to me is in and of itself an admission of guilt.
	I mean why go to the trouble to try to obscure Joe's involvement and Joe's knowledge except for the fact that you know that this is wrong and it puts your family in a compromising situation.
	Eric, do you have anything to add to that?
	I mean it and this is this goes far and deep.
	Oh it absolutely does.
	I mean I think I can only add that you're exactly right and thank goodness for the work that you and Peter Schreitz have been doing since 2018.
	But for people that don't know because every day there's another revelation about just how much they've lied and just how much money the Bidens have made from questionable sources the reason why they're lying is because they're taking money from military officials connected to spy apparatus with China.
	I mean that's the bottom line.
	Not only has Hunter Biden been doing business with the Chinese government for almost a decade now what we exposed and what Peter and the research team at GAI and what we cover at the drill down and talked about is 31 million dollars in five separate transactions with officials between the Biden family and Chinese military officials.
	I mean so why would they take effort to try to obsecure Joe Biden's rule on that?
	Because in what other scenario is it okay that an American elected official the president of the United States and the family of the president of the United States is making money off of our greatest national threat.
	It's a scandal and thank goodness people like you and Peter have continued to uncover it but that's why the emails are so validated because they show the Biden team saying hey we don't want to have Joe's name on this memorandum of understanding with the University of Delaware.
	We need somebody else's name it'll help make one more step to keep Justice Biden scheme a secret.
	So back to you Peter um in your own podcast you talked about how on March 17th the House Oversight Committee released a memorandum detailing bank records that says uh they they show multiple Biden family members receiving payments uh from an account set up by John Robertson,
	Rob Walker, a a Biden family associate shortly after the account received a three million dollar wire transfer from a Chinese company my question is what is the total amount that we know for sure and how much you know at what point will James Colmer and his investigation in the House Oversight Committee chair as house commo uh House Oversight Committee Chair.
	How much money are we talking about the Biden family has been doing with China and then Russia and then Ukraine.
	Let's just start with those three questions.
	Well in terms of China Sean we know for a fact because we have the emails and we have uh the wire transfers and the confirmation emails that they received 11 million dollars uh from two Chinese officials who were business partners with people at the highest levels of Chinese intelligence then there is the uh you know 1.5 billion dollar private equity deal BHR where Hunter gets a ownership stake in the management company uh in that case we
	We don't know the exact valuation of that 10%, but a University of Chicago Business School professor said that based on similar deals of funds the same size, that stake is worth about $20 million.
	So what we believe and know for a fact is that tens of millions of dollars were transferred to the Bidens from these Chinese entities.
	And again, to underline what Eric said, and Sean, you mentioned it as well, it's so important important for people to realize every single businessman that arranged a deal for the Bidens in China is linked to Chinese intelligence meaning they are business partners or they are tied to the top leadership of China's spy agency.
	And that that should just send chills down everybody's spine.
	If you look at the other entities uh we know in the case of Ukraine Hunter was getting a million dollars a year for five years uh from barisma we know he had no background in energy we know that his father uh when hunter got that deal his father was vice president and he was in charge of USA dollars going to uh Ukraine uh and in fact it was 250 million dollars that Joe Biden steered to the energy sector,
	the natural gas energy sector of Ukraine, which is of course where Barisma was operating.
	And in fact, Barisma got some of those funds.
	And then in the third case, Russia, again, we don't exactly know.
	We know there was a $3.5 million cash transaction from Yelena Batarina sending money to one of Hunter Biden's accounts.
	By the way, this is the former First Lady of Moscow, a Russian oligarch, correct?
	Yeah, yes, exactly right, Sean.
	And to add to that, by the way, uh in the Obama State Department cable's courtesy of WikiLeaks, we know that the Obama State Department linked her to Russian organized crime.
	So you have the three and a half million dollars, but this is very important in the corporate records for one of Hunter's businesses, the claim is made the company was named Burnham.
	The claim was made in the corporate minutes that she had given them some 250 million dollars of her money to manage for various investments.
	So we don't we don't know if they were lying in those corporate records.
	We don't know where that money is, but that three and a half million dollars could certainly be higher and my great hope with Comer's committee is that they are going to be able to pinpoint all the foreign money that was flowing to the Biden family because we as Americans need to know who took this family from essentially being broke to becoming wealthy courtesy of these kinds of deals.
	Quick break more with Peter Schweitzer and Eric Eggers of the Government Accountability Institute we'll get to uh that we'll get to your calls coming up as well.
	Here we go again you see the state of the economy bank banks are failing.
	Banks are being bailed out Biden is telling us oh don't worry everything's okay Yellen is saying there might be more bank bailouts and I'm gonna like great we're bailing out billionaires and millionaires uh out in Silicon Valley.
	Look I I don't trust what Biden is saying.
	That's why I've always believed in a diversified portfolio.
	Gold has always been part of my portfolio.
	I have it to this day.
	I've had it for most of my adult life when I started saving any money.
	I put a certain percentage aside and I have collected gold.
	And, yes, it's in a safe deposit box that I can get to whenever I want.
	But anyway, it's critical.
	And our friends at Gold Co., they can help you learn how you can protect your savings with gold and silver.
	And I've partnered with Gold Co.
	because I've done my research and learned that they're a great company.
	an amazing reputation in the precious metals market.
	Right now they're giving up to $10,000 in free silver while supplies last if you're a fan of this show you could receive a free Ronald Reagan silver coin.
	Now look we've already had disastrous economic policies war, inflation, a potential recession, uh things are not looking good for the future and we can throw bank failures and and bailouts into this mix.
	Anyway, um I just advise you to check with your financial advisor I've made it a part of my portfolio by choice and I'm glad I have gold Cole you can call them today at 85515 gold that's 85515 gold and tell them your friend Sean Hannity sent you you'll get a free Ronald Reagan silver coin 85515 gold G O L DORISM
	and supporting America's freedom.
	Seanity is on right now we continue Joe Biden knew the whole time uh he did know about his family's foreign business dealings.
	We continue with Peter Schweitzer and Eric Eggers of the Government Accountability Institute host of the podcast uh drill down.
	You know, Eric I look at the amount of money and I think the American people need to know number one Joe lied when he said he he never had any knowledge of any of these foreign business deals uh how much did he benefit in terms of personal monies uh on Hunter's laptop he implicates his own father by saying you know he has to give up half his income to Pops and complains bitterly about paying for his home repairs and you know 10% for the big guy as we all know so
	uh I want to know how much were these deals worth specifically and uh it's really to me going to come down to follow the money, follow the money, follow the money, and there's been a lot of stonewalling on that issue for the committee.
	Well, that's exactly right, but I think that's why the work the committee is doing is so important.
	I've heard, and I'm sure you have as well.
	People get frustrated because they've been hearing about all these scandals, they've been hearing about all the business deals in Ukraine, in China, in Russia that Hunter Biden's been doing.
	I mean, remember, like we live in a world in which it was treated as okay that Hunter Biden sold art to undisclosed people.
	Like everything goes when it comes to Hunter and the Biden, and everybody's just fine with it.
	And so I think finally we have now a committee with intention and authority and subpoena power.
	They can get bank record.
	And I know people are frustrated because nothing's been happening, but I think the committee's only just now beginning to get access to the things that they can really paint the full picture of just how corrupt the Biden family regime has been and just how enriching it has been for their personal family fortune.
	So you're exactly right.
	Uh it's these are incredibly important questions.
	And thank goodness Peter Schweitzer hasn't stopped talking about it since 2018.
	Thank goodness you haven't stopped talking about it, because otherwise I don't think this committee exists, and I don't think he did the hard work.
	I just I just let him gave him a platform to tell a story, and it took a long time for it to finally, you know, uh take root, but it has taken root now.
	Uh, and I believe we're we're closer than we've ever been to getting answers to these questions.
	But now here's the harder question, Peter, um, and that is uh is the Biden family compromised?
	We know we know they've got to have a dossier on Hunter Biden.
	This is at a point in his life.
	If you look at his life's timeline, I believe he was using crack cocaine at the time, and this is the time he was involved with hookers and everything else.
	I can't imagine that the the communist Chinese and the Russians and Ukrainians don't have an uh dossier on him.
	Uh, but is is Joe Biden himself compromised?
	Do we have to ask that question?
	I think the answer is yes.
	Yeah, I think we do have to answer that question.
	I do think the answer is yes.
	And and I think all you have to do is simply ask yourself why did these Chinese businessmen send this money to the Bidens?
	Again, if you look at the agreement, uh they're new in doing nothing in return.
	I mean, in the in the recent committee uh example uh of you know a million uh three that went to Hunter Biden and then he distributed it to you know his uncle and to Halle Biden and others.
	Hunter Biden says it was good faith seed money is what is what he said, uh, which is a meaningless expression.
	If it's really seed money for a business, you're not passing it around to family members, you're actually investing in the business.
	The point is, all of this money seems to be money that was used for personal consumption of the family.
	And so then the question becomes why are these uh gentlemen in China who are linked to the intelligence service there, why are they giving money and not getting anything in return?
	They're not stupid, they're not into charity, they're not into philanthropy.
	So the question is, what is going on here?
	And I think that's that's the sort of question that this committee needs to be asking next.
	Uh and my feeling is the fact that the money continued to flow, uh, you know, beginning in 2013, the deal started up through 2017, uh, and and you know, potentially beyond in terms of him selling this stake in BHR, uh, you know, the money kept flowing for a reason because they were getting something in return.
	And the question is, were they getting access?
	Were they getting, you know, who knows?
	But that's what I hope the committee's gonna find, and I hope we're going to see uh Hunter Biden uh and other members of the family uh subpoena.
	Uh and and we also have to reiterate the point, Sean, that we've talked about before, and the committee has demonstrated the money's fungible.
	Hunter might have been getting the money, but Hunter was passing it around the family.
	So this notion that this is a hunter problem or it's it's hermetically sealed and it's Hunter's money and nobody else's money is not true.
	Joe Biden benefited.
	We know that Hunter paid his bills with some of this money, uh, and other members of the family did as well.
	So it's the Biden family and its status with Chinese intelligence, not just Hunter.
	I think this is now coming to a head, and it's uh you have been on unbelievably uh doggedly uh pointing this out for years, and finally we now have the investigation, and we're now beginning to get more corroboration for everything that you wrote about back in 2018.
	Uh Peter Schweitzer, Eric Eggers, uh, the Government Accountability Institute.
	Um also they have their own podcast that's called Drill Down.
	Thank you both for being here.
	We appreciate it as always.
	Thanks, Sean.

	Linda, have you at all at in any way paid any attention to chat GPT?
	Have you paid any attention to it?
	Do you know what I'm talking about?
	I I certainly have, yeah.
	Okay.
	So for those that don't know, this is artificial intelligence.
	Um, and Elon Musk, for example, put out a warning that artificial intelligence is one of the biggest risks to civilization.
	And meaning talking about Chat GPT's rise.
	So a friend of mine has it, and we've been experimenting with it.
	And beyond putting aside the fact that it is extremely liberal, left, and woke.
	Um, it is simply amazing what it can spit out in terms of information in less than 10 seconds.
	It is incredible.
	It really is, and it's a little, it's like you said, it's a little bit scary.
	Or maybe a lot.
	Well, it's a lot when you read the New York Post today.
	New research paper claims a staggering amount of employees could see their careers impacted by the rise of Chat GPT.
	Um and they go through very specific professions.
	Uh I'm I don't want to hurt people's feelings here, but there's gonna be a lot of people that could lose their jobs potentially because of this new technology.
	It is a huge risk.
	And the idea that it's a risk to civilization is is also real.
	Now, what's pretty fascinating about it is ChatGPT, they'll they only updat have updated this till I believe it was what, September 2021.
	That's right.
	It's but it could be in real time.
	In other words, it could be covering real events as they happen.
	I mean, that's how sophisticated the technology is.
	Um, if you ask a question, how do I become successful in in this field or that field or this field?
	Um, what is the what would be some of the best ways that I can become wealthy in my life?
	I'm living paycheck to paycheck.
	Um, I'm I'm looking for 10 really good ideas uh that I could easily uh increase my income and they'll spit out ideas and you look at them and you say every one of them is a good idea.
	I mean it's it's just fascinating.
	The other thing it can do is it can take a story and it can recreate the story.
	So it could take like say for example like the New York Post that you mentioned and it can recreate that story using different words and different terminology so thereby like when we do different stories or we capture different things it can rewrite it as if it was a human person.
	Now if you read it you would see certain things that didn't read properly but at the end of the day it's a little scary that it can rewrite that whole story the way that the reporter wrote it.
	Listen a on any paper now I know schools are on the lookout for this and they have chat GPT but you could say I need a research paper X X number of words on this topic specifically blah blah blah it'll spit out a paper in ten seconds.
	So this is what's going on in high schools too.
	So in college and in high school they have all of these kids now and now there's teachers assistance and other um algorithms and programs that are analyzing the papers that the kids are writing to make sure that they're not sealing and using chat GPT to do their work.
	Okay, but then they could use chat GPT to do their research for them.
	Correct Sunday it's like they're getting over.
	And then just put it in their own words I mean with that's just what's the difference b between using chat GPT and then using Google or or any other search engine.
	Here's the thing, right?
	So at least with Google you they have to read the they have to read the websites.
	They have to go through the research a little bit themselves, right?
	But Chat GPT is doing the whole thing for them like nah these are the four best ones use these ones.
	Here's the excerpts from it.
	This is the paragraph it's in here's your footnote and you're welcome.
	I'm like oh my God I mean it's not it's pretty scary stuff, you know, and it's definitely going to impact kids' education 'cause they don't have I mean heck they're not working as hard as we did even now.
	I mean none of them even use a pencil.
	It's true.
	I mean they don't man they don't use a pencil.
	I mean seriously I mean Liam is seven and he's on his Chromebook and he's showing me how he's doing code and oh Ma Mama this is JavaScript and this is how I can write HTML and let me show you how I could splice this audio together and I'm like oh my God.
	I mean it's great I want him to be smart but I'd also like him to do you know long division, multiplication, just some basic stuff, you know, not everything it has to be a computer.
	I'm not saying exclude it, include it, but just not the only thing.
	Uh listen I totally agree with you.
	There's a part of this is just addicting and fascinating to me and I I have other thoughts about it.
	You know, how can you use it for good and then when I think about the possibilities of people misusing it or abusing it um that is frightening to me and I think that's what Elon Musk was warning about.
	But uh by the way, reminder uh Donald Trump on Hannity tonight uh on the Fox News channel uh we got way more than an hour's interview with him but we'll run it for the full hour and then we'll have more uh throughout the week uh Barry is in the great state of Florida.
	Barry Hi, how are you?
	Glad you called sir.
	Hi Sean, you're terrific.
	I've listened to you for over twenty five years, watched you as well you speak the truth and we need that here in America.
	Thank you my friend.
	I um I greatly admire uh um Governor DeSantis here in Florida for everything he's done in Florida and President Trump has done a great job and delivered for all Americans when he was president.
	Well I I don't appreciate when uh Governor DeSantis calls a non-disclosure agreement which is used all the time in business and sometimes in government just so that parties uh that agree to things that might be uh embarrassing uh you know it's it's a civil matter and it's a contract.
	Uh when when govern DeSantis calls it hush money th those are the words of the radical left uh trying to take down president.
	A word is powerful these days when it's repeated over and over again.
	And that's my only uh reason for well but let me put it this way I I have a question for the president on this and I'll tell you what the question is I'm gonna when I talk to Governor DeSantis next I'll ask him his side.
	I basically the question I'm being asked more than any other question at this moment is well what is going on between Ron DeSantis and and Donald Trump, they were friends.
	And that's what I'm gonna ask.
	What happened?
	What happened what caused this?
	Uh part of it was addressed uh uh the other night when he had his rally in Waco uh Texas.
	But uh if you want a full answer, uh it'll be on Hannity tonight, and you know, then I'll give Ronda Santis at some point an opportunity to respond.
	But um if I had my choice, uh I'd rather focus on how bad the Democrats are destroying the country.
	That would be my choice.
	And I and I agree with that, but uh we don't use the terms of the radical left to try to bring down your opponent.
	Listen, it's it's going both ways, you gotta admit.
	And um, but you know, there's a reason for it.
	I want to find out the full reason, and you know what?
	Look, you gotta understand something.
	Politics is a blood sport.
	If my preference would be this, at some point during a primary, it's always, always, always, whether you like it or not, it's gonna get ugly.
	But it doesn't have to come out of the gate being that ugly.
	And um, but it is what it is.
	So I mean, this is the environment we we we're living in.
	Now, do I think Ron DeSantis is going to run?
	Every indication is that he will.
	I mean, he wrote a book.
	Um, he's been to Iowa, he's been to New Hampshire, uh, he's been it it seems like he's running to me.
	So, you know, we'll see what happens.
	As of now, Trump leads him in almost every poll by a pretty significant amount, but that can change over time.
	And um, you know, we'll just see what happens.
	I I I think the biggest, you know, challenge for the president, and I'll ask him about some of this uh tonight is about you know, all these legal issues he's facing.
	And you know, like for example, I did didn't I thought he had a great week last week legally, uh and um then we have the incident he's talking about death and destruction, and then there was the images of the bat Nalvin Bragg.
	I don't think that was a good idea myself.
	I'll ask Joe Tacopina's lawyer at the top of the hour about it.
	Uh but anyway, good call, my friend.
	Thank you.
	All right, quick break, right back.
	We'll continue.
	800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
	Final hour roundup is next.
	You do not want to miss it.
	And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity show.
	All right, we get back to our busy phones.
	800-941 Sean, our number.
	Uh Andy is in Minnesota.
	Andy, hi, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Oh, hi, Sean.
	It's a pleasure to speak to you.
	Uh long time listener.
	And before I get to my questions, I would just like to lift up the people of Nashville with what's happening today and and especially the families who have lost children, and pray that our nation turns away from evil and gets back to the Christian values that we have been founded on.
	Well, I will say anybody that has been impacted by these events, uh, I will tell you it's sad the tragedy that you know went on in Nashville today, six killed, three students, the shooters now dead.
	Uh those that were impacted by that tornado the other day, that too is, you know, our prayers are with them as well.
	Um I I w I wish it didn't exist, something called evil.
	I you know, I wish that human beings had a good heart and soul and a conscience and an ability to discern right from wrong and to irresistibly obey, as as Thomas Payne once wrote, the guides and dictates of conscience.
	Because if we did, we wouldn't even need government if people would follow the goodness that is within them.
	You know, look, the story of the human experience is human beings have a capacity for good and a capacity for evil.
	And a lot of it is due to the the choices that everybody makes eventually in their life.
	You know, seven people, oh, now there's seven people that have died, sadly, not six.
	Oh dear.
	Um my question, Sean, for you.
	Alvin Bragg.
	Um campaigning on getting President Trump and also Leticia James, can they not be charged with an ethics violation or malicious prosecution or even face disbarment for parts of another?
	Professor Dershowitz thinks so.
	By the way, he's written a really good book.
	We'll have him on this week about it.
	Uh Get Trump.
	I mean, that this is obviously an attempt.
	You know, it's it's kind of odd and on the one hand that Democrats say that they want they want Donald Trump to be the nominee.
	They think he would be the easiest one to beat.
	Okay.
	Then if that's the case, then then why are they trying so hard to put him in jail?
	Or maybe they're just trying hard enough uh to get him perp walked, handcuffed, uh, fingerprinted, mugshots, and and just damage him as much as they can do and bloody him up as much as they can bloody him up so that you know he he's he's beaten and bloody going into any campaign.
	I don't know.
	But they certainly seem to be after him on every legal aspect at all.
	Oh, it's just endless.
	There's endless.
	You're not wrong.
	Yeah.
	Um, every week we watch um President Biden kind of mumbling and stumbling.
	Why aren't there calls for him to take a c mental competency test like they president Trump?
	There have been.
	And I think he should.
	And I the reason he's not taking it is obvious he can't pass it.
	Joe Biden has no capacity to pass that test.
	I've looked at these cognitive tests.
	I wanted uh, you know, I did a deep dive into them.
	I wanted to find out, you know, are they simple test?
	You know, it's a test that starts out easy and gets harder and harder and harder with every question.
	Uh-huh.
	And Donald Trump aced his.
	I'm not sure I would get a perfect score on the cognitive test.
	I'm not sure.
	Yeah.
	And I have a pretty good memory.
	I re I have a lot in there.
	There's certain things I retain and certain things I don't retain.
	Linda, you can attest to that.
	I can tell you Ronald Reagan's record from you know his presidency and every president thereafter.
	Uh but on the other hand, if you ask me who was on this program all last week, I couldn't name every guest.
	But I will say you also have another amazing skill set, which is call letters.
	I've never met anyone who knows all the call letters of all their stations the way that you do.
	It is really kind of weird.
	All the call letters.
	However, you say it, how do you say it?
	No, the call letters.
	So all those call letters, you know, that's most of them are three and four.
	You know, I'm not talking about it.
	I was giving you a compliment, but that's okay.
	We can move on.
	No, I but well, it's a passion, just like politics is a passion.
	You know, focusing on a particular segment, I've got a after that show's over, I got another TV show to do, and then another radio show to do the next day.
	So I you know, that shows in the can.
	Now move on to the next one.
	Uh but anyway, thank you for the compliment, Linda.
	And thank you, Andy from Minnesota.
	Uh Andy in Minnesota, how cold is it, by the way?
	Not bad.
	Uh, we've gone from the land of ten thousand lakes to the land of ten thousand blizzards every month, it seems like this winter.
	But today the sun is out and it's really not bad here.
	I think it's probably about thirty-six degrees, maybe.
	One place I could promise you I don't want to live, and I don't mean to be insulting.
	I have no desire to live in a freezing cold place like Minnesota.
	None at all.
	It's just too cold for me.
	I used to love the cold when I was skiing, but as I get older, I think I prefer to be in in warm temperature, throw some shorts on and uh wear a long sleeve s uh t shirt so I don't get a sunburn.
	You think that's Linda's laughing?
	You know, something I mean, I think it's extreme.
	I mean, you know, uh but you're talking to me and I love the cold, so you know.
	It's very obvious your so your your skin is not seen the light of day in in thirty-five years.
	Oh, listen, I give vampires a run for their money, boy.
	I am see-through pale.
	There is no question.
	There's no doubt there's some Irish in there.
	Irish Irish Irish.
