We'll all be in fire.
Highland.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
So we do not see, because of what I just laid out, we do not see uh uh uh a recession or pre-recession.
We see a strong economy, and it's because of the work that this president has done.
So today I applaud China for stepping out excuse me, I applaud Canada.
I'm you can tell what I'm thinking.
As I didn't spied on American citizens.
I don't think that's spying is the right way to describe it.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song Sean Hannity New Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Toll-free, let me give you the number.
It is 800-941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
Looks like Alvin Bragg's uh grand jury is gonna be on hiatus for about a month as it relates to all things Donald Trump.
What is going on here, really?
We'll check in with our legal team, uh, Greg Jarrett, David Schoen will join us today.
Uh, you know, how is it America unilaterally disarmed with the lifeblood of the world's economy?
Well, we're gonna check in with the president of the U.S. oil and gas industry and maybe get an answer to that.
And I'm not giving up, by the way, on my ideas to keep every child in school safe, uh, because there is an answer that's a little bit deeper than the knee-jerk reaction we get from liberals uh as it relates to our second amendment rights.
That's that's what we hear all the time.
But yes, it would involve metal detectors, cameras, uh, armed undercover, retired military police, and we could protect every child in school the way we protect our politicians and the way Hollywood stars are protected.
Anyway, so we got a lot of ground.
There are more stories today.
I can't about transgenderism, uh, about you know drag queen story hours for kids, uh, and the insane things that people are saying.
I'll get to that, I promise in the course of today's show also, but uh thank you for being with us.
Um we got ourselves a little problem here.
I played for you last week.
Uh Tony Blinken went before a Senate committee, and he acknowledged that in spite of Joe Biden's promise not to leave Americans behind in Afghanistan when he was talking to George Stephanopoulos.
I played this last week.
I won't play it again.
Um, that in fact he did abandon people in Afghanistan.
We knew it at the time, and now he took it a step further.
He acknowledged that some of them are hostages.
Well, we got a hostage crisis.
Joe Biden's hostage crisis.
Now we have a crisis that has gotten even worse.
Now, if you thought the spy balloon was bad, and you thought taking out one of our drones by Russia was bad, well, now we have in uh that Russia is now detaining a Wall Street Journal reporter uh accusing him of espionage.
Russian authorities announced that they had detained journalist Evan uh Groshokovich, Wall Street Journal correspondent, he's based in Moscow, accusing him of espionage.
Joe Biden has not one but two hostage crises going on, and the mob and the media, they they seem to ignore them all.
They never once talked about Joe Biden's uh disastrous pull out from Afghanistan.
How did that happen?
The previous 18 months under Donald Trump, not a single American died.
Donald Trump has described to me in a number of interviews exactly what he told the head of the Taliban prior to even discussing the potential withdrawal of U.S. troops, including telling this this the head of the Taliban that he knew exactly where he was at exactly the moment they were having that conversation, which I'm sure sent a very clear message.
We can take your ass out anytime we want.
This is where, you know, a lot of people wondering what's going to happen in 2024.
I don't know.
I don't have a crystal ball.
But I have a funny feeling if things keep evolving in terms of uh this new axis of evil, as I call it, and that would be China, Russia, Iran.
Now they've included Saudi Arabia.
China brokering deals with the Saudis and the Iranians, now brokering another deal between the Saudis and Syria, uh, now trying to get this sphere of influence in Latin America, uh, all in anticipation of the complete takeover of Taiwan.
I mean, they they threatened Kevin McCarthy if he would meet in California with the Taiwanese president uh this week when he's in town.
Excuse me, somebody needs to tell uh President Xi in China uh that they can uh basically eat Adam Schiff because uh it's not happening.
You don't lecture us.
Just like we need to tell Putin we're allowed in international uh waterways and international airspace.
Those messages haven't been sent yet.
So nothing happened with the balloon incident, nothing happened with the drone incident.
So now we have a hostage crisis where a Wall Street Journal reporter is being detained, and I have very confident that this is Vladimir Putin flexing his muscles and in trying to intimidate the United States.
And here's the sad part.
Joe Biden is likely to do nothing.
And here's my other prediction that when China, if I'm right, follows through on their territorial ambitions and takes Taiwan.
My prediction is your president Joe Biden will do nothing.
Now, why didn't these things happen in the Trump years?
I'll give you my best guess, my best analysis.
It's very simple.
I think that there was a certain fear factor that Donald Trump in their minds was crazy enough that he might just do it.
You know what?
Fear is a good motivator.
The threat has to be real, it has to be believed.
The strength has to be real, and it has to be believed for it to be effective.
Now we've got a hostage crisis.
Now Americans, instead of Joe doing anything and trying hard to save the life and get this guy out of prison, I mean, uh uh, what was Britney's name, last name?
Brittany um uh the yeah, Brittany Griner, the WMBA star.
Uh, thank God we got her home.
By the way, we were advocating for that for a long time.
And what, Vladimir Putin rolled Joe Biden, got the best deal imaginable.
Because I don't think what Brittany Griner did, I don't think it was smart, but I don't think it was not a federal offense.
It should have been uh, okay, uh five days in jail, you you're you have to go back home to America.
Uh an overwhelming majority of you, the American people favor rightly so, according to Trafalgar in their poll, that's Robert Cahaley's poll, uh, economic disengagement from China.
I think that's a great idea.
The time has come.
They have now, you know, remember the 9-11 Commission report.
They declared war on us.
We didn't, you know, they were at war with us, we were not at war with them.
China is now as aggressive and hostile towards us as they ever have been.
How dare they tell our speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, that on American soil that what there's gonna be repercussions if in fact he meets with our allies president, Taiwan's president?
Sorry, China, you don't get to tell us that.
And the single best way we get our strength back is to get rid of any and all dependence on anything coming from China.
And the next thing you need to do, now I know this this is difficult for the Biden family in particular, because I know Joe is likely thinking about his son Hunter and future uh family business deals with the communist Chinese.
So I don't know what extent that's a factor.
That's why we do need answers.
How much money and business did the Biden and Biden family and Hunter and Jim and Joe and I guess now Haley, how much business did they do with the communist Chinese?
How much money did they profit?
Uh How much money did they make?
We need to know.
You know, but this is now, for me, I'm looking at this as DEF COM two or three.
There is now an aggressive move and a new world order.
It was not an accident when Chi and Putin met last week and they said, Oh, we have an opportunity we haven't had in a hundred years.
Chi to Putin, my my friend, Vladimir.
The guy is evil.
How do we know he's evil?
He's been targeting civilians in Ukraine, left, right, and sideways.
By the way, that does not excuse Europe from dereliction of duty and being missing in action as it comes to the issue of Ukraine.
You know, and I would stop all American funding right now, and tell every European nation this percentage of your GDP must be sent to Ukraine before we send another penny.
That's your continent.
That's your backyard.
You need to ante up.
The U.S. is not bearing the brunt of financing this war completely.
The second thing that has to happen is Joe Biden's got to take off the handcuffs and let Zelensky fight the war to win the war and stop Poland.
Poland wanted to give 30 MIGs to Zelensky.
Joe Biden vetoed that.
That was a bad call.
That means they're not trying to win the war.
They're, you know, at best fighting for a tie.
General Milley saying, yeah, it doesn't look like Ukraine has any chance militarily to win the war.
If the if Europe is doesn't have a sense of urgency about Putin's invasion of Ukraine, then that then becomes their problem.
I'm sure we've America has done its part.
The Ukrainian, by the way, people, to the to, in fairness to the people, you know, I'm not sure I trust the people around Zelensky very much.
I think there's been a lot of you know stealing going on, but and that's even a number of people have been fired as a result of this.
By the way, Russia's forced transfer of Ukrainian children is a crime against humanity.
That's a sad story I got from somebody.
Uh and and yet what are we worried about with our military?
You know, our defense secretary saying he has zero regrets on Afghanistan and admits no one's been held accountable.
You know, no answer from the defense secretary.
I played it yesterday when Matt Gates grilled him over what was it, uh Drag Queen story hour on military bases, and how every single government agency in some way is allocating funds for this this Green New Deal climate alarmist religious cult agenda.
Uh that's not what our military needs to be about.
No wonder recruitment is down.
I wouldn't want to serve in that military.
If you want a military, you gotta have you have to have the meanest, toughest warriors on earth, and you gotta give them the best, most technologically advanced weapons of warfare available.
Now, for the last ten years, China's been building up their arsenal.
For the last ten years, they've been building up a massive arsenal.
Uh it wasn't an accident this week that President Xi mentioned he's preparing China for war.
Who do you think he's planning to go to war with?
I think in the end, he he wants to be the most dominant nation on the face of the earth, and America having abdicated its role as the leader in the free world, there's now an opportunity as a result of Joe Biden's weakness.
That is sad to say.
And Putin now is building up his own alliances.
You know, but he's too...
But he doesn't have a he doesn't have he has plenty of time to go after our number one ally in the Middle East, Israel, and interfere in Israeli politics, and you know, doesn't have time to invite Prime Minister Netanyahu over.
You know, Ted Cruz slamming Biden for shunning the Israeli Prime Minister, or Prime Minister rejecting not uh Biden's lecture that he walk away from a judicial overhaul.
Uh Joe, why don't you worry about the fact that two-thirds of your country right now are living paycheck to paycheck?
As I told you yesterday, President Chi told China's parliament he is preparing for war, war against two cabinet official.
We had one uh Biden uh Interior Secretary admitting Biden's climate change agenda is helping China.
At least Republicans are trying to get away this classification stupidity, which is that the Paris Climate Accords, for example, recognizes China as a developing nation.
Same with India.
Are you kidding me?
Now we have Vladimir Putin announcing that he's going to deploy tactical nukes in Belarus.
You know dangerous this is for Europe.
Europe, wake up.
Hello, pay your fair share.
Better take it seriously.
Biden's Pentagon can't afford to buy enough weapons and equipment.
They're spending what?
Hundreds of millions of dollars.
This was on just the news.com on diversity programs.
$500 million.
The recent Department of Defense controller's budget reports.
Nearly $500 million in fiscal year 2023 will be spent on enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs and addressing extremism in the ranks.
You have extremism in the ranks, throw their ass out of the military.
There's the answer.
You don't have to investigate it, and it's absolutely free.
It won't cost you a penny.
It's not that hard.
China threatening retaliation because Kevin McCarthy in California will meet Taiwan's president, our allies' president?
No, we're not going to be lectured by the communist Chinese, although we will continue to be if this guy, you know, as long as he's president.
You know, veterans blaming Biden's focus on woke priorities, low recruitment numbers.
Biden's Pentagon pumped 114 million into diversity, equity, inclusion programs in the last year.
China spent 240 billion rescuing belt and road countries to save its own banks.
We can defeat them.
National security threat.
This is the uh Gatestone Institute, another Latin American country chooses China.
North Korea is launching new weapons that can cause a radioactive tsunami underground.
Are you guys listening?
The world is literally melting in front of us.
We're at DEF COM 3.
I am telling you, this is not going to end well.
Then go back to my original point.
Will this impact the 2024 election?
You damn right it will.
And the real events that will ultimately determine what where this country's future heads and where it lies is going to be the state of the economy and the state of the world.
Peace, prosperity, drive elections.
It's that simple.
All right, we got a lot of ground to cover here today.
All right, it looks like Alan Alvin Bragg is taking a month's hiatus.
Uh I know they brought in what David Pecker used to run the National Inquirer.
That's more about the McDougall case than the Stormy Daniels case.
Uh what that means, it's anybody's guess.
Taking a month reprieve.
That's anybody's guess.
Uh is their concern that the case is weak.
Is there conflict inside the Manhattan DA's office?
All indications are that in fact that's happening, but you know what?
I'm not there.
I don't know.
I'm only reporting to you what I read from different news sources.
That's my job.
Quick break, right back, and your calls 800 941 Sean.
Uh, you know, it's um all the talk this week about gun control after what happened in Nashville.
All the talk, all the politicizing.
Now, you know, Democrats, they can't politicize what's happening in Chicago.
This is a liberal city, liberal state run by liberal Democrats for decades.
But every weekend we can predict with a high degree of certainty how many people will get shot, how many people will get shot and killed, and they do nothing.
Scrolling names of uh that you've never heard of before, victims of Chicago violence.
Gianno Caldwell, my friend, my colleague at Fox, his brother, his little brother, innocent brother, shot and killed in Chicago.
I mean, when I talk to him, my heart aches for him.
Such a good guy.
Um, but all the other families.
We scroll names, you've never heard these names before.
Why is that?
Why is it we only hear it when Democrats they think they can score Cheap political points.
Well, that's the answer's right there.
It's that simple.
This is what we discovered.
Now they want more gun control laws.
Well, you're gonna like what uh I found out here, but this is courtesy of Breitbart.
Um, and I thought Democrats wanted to crack down on guns, right?
Well, let's go to the swamp in Washington, D.C., run entirely by Democrats.
Sixty-seven percent of people arrested for illegal gun possession in our nation's capital do not get prosecuted.
Now, it gets worse.
The guy making that decision not to prosecute all these illegal gun owners is U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, some guy named Matthew Graves.
Matthew Graves was appointed by Joey Biden, who when he wasn't, I wasn't I'm not joking.
I'm not joking, I'm not joking.
It's true.
It's true, 100%.
100% true.
I'm not joking.
Come on, man.
Come on.
Anyway, it's getting better, right?
Slowly getting better.
I'm getting there.
Anyway, uh, so the guy making the decision, pointed by Joe Biden.
And by the way, when he wasn't joking about ice cream and joking about being Jill's husband, uh spent most of Monday and Tuesday blaming Republicans for all the guns pouring into cities like Washington, D.C., which reminds me, when are gun-controlled Democrats like Biden gonna start demanding that gun criminals like oh, zero experience hunter lying on a gun application.
Uh lied on his firearms application.
When is he gonna get prosecuted?
Uh that's right.
His name isn't Trump.
If his name was Trump, he'd get prosecuted.
Anyway, Breitbar pointing out crime has spiked in D.C. in recent months after the Biden appointed U.S. attorney uh for the District of Columbia refused to prosecute 67% of those arrested who would have been put on trial in DC Superior Court, according to 2022 district uh statistics.
Among those graves declined to prosecute were some 52% of all felony arrests along with 72% of all misdemeanor arrests, uh, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office uh annual statistical report.
Graves nominated by Joe Biden uh and confirmed.
Oh, interesting.
Admitted to the Washington Post, the lack of prosecutions has mostly applied to those arrests for gun possession, drug possession, burglaries.
Overall crime is soared across the D.C. 22% since 2022.
DC crime statistics from Wednesday show sex abuse up 110%.
Homicides up a whopping 19%.
Property crimes up 27%.
Motor vehicle theft has soared 108%.
Oh, they're doing a good job over there, aren't they?
In terms of gun safety and gun security.
Um such hypocrisy.
It's unreal.
Uh what else do I have for you here?
By the way, you know, I'm I'm not the biggest like Hollywood Star Guy fan.
You know, I like Gladiator, I love Braveheart, I like Mel Gibson, you know, and move there's some people I like you know what I like a lot, Denzel Washington.
I like all his movies.
Um he seems like a great man.
You got Mark Wahlberg.
I was gonna tell, that was my next name.
Mark Wahlberg.
I like him.
Says leaving Hollywood for Vegas gave his children a chance to thrive.
Good for him.
He's 51.
I met him once at uh like a s when remember I used to take my Super Bowl thing.
I remember that.
Uh couldn't have been nicer.
Um he didn't give a rip about my politics.
He didn't care.
He probably does care, but he's just being quiet.
No, we just had a nice normal conversation.
Like, how are you?
I love I like your work.
I admire what you do.
That was it.
He's really he's a good act, great actor, not a good actor.
Um, and I'd say the same thing to any of the other names I mentioned.
Um anyway, he says it's giving his kids a chance to thrive.
Uh the last movie he did, I watched Father Stu, I liked it.
Uh it was the best of both worlds.
I know a lot of people when they think Vegas, the strip, but just about 15 20 miles away, twenty twenty minutes away, there's a whole other uh amazing areas that are all about family and community, he said.
Now he shares daughters Ella and Grace, 19 and 13, respectively, sons Michael and Brendan, 17 and 14 with his wife.
And anyway, they listed their lavish Beverly Hills estate for 87.5 million bucks.
Later purchased a home in the exclusive enclave of the Summit Club just outside Vegas.
Good for him.
I hope he's happy.
I wish him all the best.
By the way, if many of you heard about the train uh derailment.
Oh, I know Joe's probably on his way to uh East Palestine, Ohio, any minute now.
But while he's there, he might want to stop off in Minnesota, a little town outside of Minneapolis.
They've all been ordered to evacuate.
That happened this morning after a train carrying a form of ethanol and a corn syrup liquid, whatever that means, derailed and caught fire.
Now, Railway told Fox Business that its train came off the tracks near Raymond around 1 a.m. local time, no injuries reported.
Fire departments from Raymond and numerous area fire departments responded as several of the derailed tankers started on fire and were determined to be carrying a form of ethanol and others with uh a corn syrup liquid.
Anyway.
Wiz uh, I'm sure Pothole Pete's gonna be probably there, right?
I'm guessing we keep an eye on uh the breaking news coming out of Minnesota, as you know, visiting the site from Ohio, right?
Uh was uh subject of consternation.
Do you plan to visit Minnesota?
Uh right now, uh, I am not going to get in the way of investigators or local officials.
Oh, I'm not gonna get in the way of local officials.
I don't want to get in the way.
Okay.
Donald Trump went there first, not Joe Biden.
And then PV even beat Pete Pothole Pete Booty judge, star possible presidential material one day.
God help this country.
Kamala went to Ghana.
And Kamala went to Ghana, but she doesn't gone to the real border yet.
She made a trip, but she didn't go in the middle.
In the vicinity doesn't mean that what was it, about four hours away, you know.
I don't talk a lot about ratings.
CNN's ratings are at a 30-year low.
Well, I think they're trying to hire uh Gail King.
She does what, the CBS morning show.
Maybe CNN in Don Lemon's words is past its prime.
I don't know.
Could be.
Joy Behemoth.
I didn't know give me a moment.
I'm a little tired today.
I'm a little tired today.
That one's a t was up.
You can use it.
Joy Behar said the quiet part out loud.
Trump needs to get the GOP nomination over DeSantis because then Democrats will win.
Well, if they want that, then why are they trying so hard to get him arrested?
Not sure.
Anyway, um, you know, it's look at the reaction to Tennessee.
There's an article in the Free Beacon.
You know, the worst, the nine worst media reactions to the shooting.
Uh the first one is conservative seize MBC News.
Uh, and they talk about uh one of the examples cited new transgender target school.
And the hours after the shooting at the school, some conservatives rushed to blame the massacre on the suspect's gender identity, connecting the tragedy to the national crusade of transgender rights.
Their headline, of course, transgender targets Christian school in the New York Post.
Uh more blood's going to be shed.
NBC News publishing another headline.
Fear pervades Tennessee's trans community amid focus on Nashville shooters' gender identity, which implied the Nashville police had cause people to fear for their safety.
I mean, I could just go on.
And then attacking people's faith, which I thought which was out of bounds.
I thought we were not allowed to do that anymore.
That was on the woke politically correct, which by the way, I'll respect.
I will I will address people how they prefer to be addressed.
You want me to call you this or that?
I will totally respect your wishes.
I'm not there to insult people in life.
I got, you know, a lot of other things going on.
It looks like the shooter, though, in Nashville clearly tried to enter barricaded classrooms.
And one of the things the Epic Times pointed out that the Covenant School had trained for this moment to come.
And apparently that training was pretty intense and actually saved lives.
This this image of this one little girl, one of the girls that got killed, nine years old, trying to full the pull the fire alarm.
Oh.
It just can does that not break your heart.
Is that I mean, that would crush me as a parent.
I can't remember.
I'm having a really hard time with it, which is why I'm not talking about.
No, I noticed.
I Listen, I know I know other people are too.
I know a lot of people.
I mean, our older kids had two lockdowns last year for active shooters in the high school.
You know, and the youngest was asking me just yesterday.
He's like, why do people want to kill little kids?
Scary.
And what's interesting is that they keep blaming the guns.
And obviously they don't want to talk about the real answers.
The statistical analysis of the fact of how much crime is committed with illegal guns.
I'm like, people who want to kill people and want to do things that are illegal really don't care about the firearms application or the legality of using firearms or gun safety.
It's actually super infuriating.
I'm like, just stop.
By the way, five million according to Fox News.com is too little.
Activists are telling California their reparations committee to aim higher than five million dollars per uh black resident in the state of California.
Now, where they're gonna get that money from, I don't know.
But apparently they're moving forward with this.
New York imposes the most burdensome taxes on residents of all the country's 50 states.
You know what Lee Zeldon posted the other day?
There's a hockey game in Florida.
I guess he was attending, or maybe he just saw the article on Twitter or a picture on Twitter.
And it's like it was home ice advantage.
Everybody had on a New York Rangers jersey in Florida.
That's how many New Yorkers have moved down to Florida.
I mean, that speaks volumes, doesn't it?
I know.
I'm with you.
I'm just telling you, man, you know, Florida is calling.
It's actually screaming at the top of its lungs.
I I've already have a place down there.
I'm ready to go.
Taxpayers are broke.
Yeah, exactly.
House Republicans launch an investigation into Biden's plan to sabotage the U.S. energy industry, and at least got to give them credit.
They're fighting back on it.
We're gonna check in with the head of the uh what is he the head of?
Um oh the president of the uh U.S. oil and gas organization.
He's gonna join us later in the program today.
You know, I haven't even gotten to stuff with Biden.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans now say Biden acted either illegally or on the ethically in the Biden family farm money scandal.
Top Senate Democrat Mark Warner blasting Biden for stonewalling on the classified documents scandal.
A day after, you know, three nine-year-olds' massacres, Biden's still making new jokes.
That was day two.
I'm not talking about the ice cream and I'm Jill's husband joke.
One hot mic caught a frail Biden needing instructions how to walk down a ramp.
We showed this last night on TV.
I mean, and now we're gonna make a left turn and stand on the blue dot or something to that effect.
Can you imagine if that was Trump?
So Donald Trump on a rainy day is going down with dress shoes on a slick ramp.
Tilted with no rail.
Yeah, on the on a pretty steep decline, and he's walking very gingerly so he doesn't fall.
By the way, that's called common sense.
I have walked in dress shoes on the streets of New York when it's slushy.
Woo!
And that's it.
That's it.
Goodbye.
I mean, Biden's falling going up.
By the way, Pete Liberals would love to see me fall flat on my face.
They'd enjoy every second.
Just go ice skating.
You flaw.
I used to play ice hockey.
Oh, I thought you played street hockey.
No, I played ice hockey for you.
Okay, forget it.
That won't work for you.
Uh anyway, uh, but I did tear my meniscus last year, which has been uh very debilitating, and I refuse to get it operated on.
I really just not doing it.
I don't care.
I'm fighting hard to rehab it, but I don't think skiing is in my future.
Janet Yellen is on the hot seat after IRS agent tried to intimidate Twitter file journalist Matt Taibbi.
This is a big deal.
I hope people are paying attention to it.
Because that is a huge deal.
Number of Americans forced to work a second job has now gone up 13% under Biden.
Two thirds of Americans live in paycheck to paycheck.
Good job, Joey.
You're doing great.
All right, we got a lot coming up today.
Uh we'll check in with our legal team.
All right, what's the delay in the Bragg case?
We'll get to that.
We'll talk about energy, dependence, and much more straight ahead.
Export Selection
