| This is an iHeart podcast. | |
| All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us. | |
| Toll-free, our number is 800-941-Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program, it's very, very hard. | |
| My phone's been blowing up all day about the news that Tucker Carlson and the Fox News Channel have parted ways. | |
| And the hard part for me is I don't have a clue. | |
| I don't know what happened. | |
| I don't know anything about it. | |
| I can't comment on something. | |
| I can comment on it and just tell you the truth, which is that I have no idea. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Was it Tucker's decision? | |
| Was it Fox's decision? | |
| Was it a mutual agreement that they had? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I know that I talked to Dan Bongino. | |
| He said they left on amicable terms. | |
| There was no issue. | |
| And, you know, he didn't want to work six days a week. | |
| And by the way, I don't really blame him. | |
| He works really, really hard. | |
| He's always been a dear friend of mine. | |
| And he said all of that publicly. | |
| So it's not anything that was not in the public sphere. | |
| I've not seen any comments yet from Tucker. | |
| And I just, I guess people think because I've been there the longest that I would have some knowledge or understanding of what went on. | |
| I just don't. | |
| And like everybody else, I am an employee there. | |
| I have a little different relationship, business relationship with radio, but I know it might be frustrating to some of you thinking you're going to get answers from me today that I can't give. | |
| I will say this, that no matter what the reason is, my strong guess would be, I mean, we have a very, all throughout my career, and I started radio in 1987, and I started at the Fox News channel in October of 96. | |
| And if you would have told me that I would have survived as long as I have, knowing how tough this business is, I wouldn't have believed it. | |
| I always worked under the assumption that I was probably doing my last show. | |
| I never had the confidence that I would survive in such a competitive industry. | |
| TV was never in my plans. | |
| I originally just wanted to be a radio talk show host, and I got very blessed. | |
| I call it an undeserved life. | |
| I got to do both. | |
| It's hard to do two shows, but I've been blessed to be able to do it for 27 years. | |
| And I'm grateful to everybody who's helped me along the way and been a part of it. | |
| And I'm most grateful to you, this audience, because you make it possible by listening and by watching. | |
| But I've also watched massive shifts in the media in both radio and on television. | |
| And it's evolving even at this very minute. | |
| Things are changing constantly. | |
| And for example, if you go back to 1988, you know, Rush Limbaugh came on the scene. | |
| Prior to FM Radio, everyone got their music from AM Radio. | |
| And then all of a sudden, FM sounded better and people wanted to hear music on FM. | |
| And AM started a talk radio. | |
| I think at the time when he started his syndication on radio, I think there were about 200 talk radio stations in the country. | |
| You know, now there's thousands of them. | |
| Then you can add to that satellite radio. | |
| And then you can add to the fact, which also has had an impact and shifting, changing winds of how people listen in the cart or whatever they listen to, podcasting, or people choosing their own music and plugging in their phone and playing DJ themselves and playing their favorite music that they want to hear and not waiting for the DJ to play the song that they most want to hear. | |
| The same thing with TV. | |
| TV, we have watched an explosion in television. | |
| When I started on television, I mean, you know, people are like, Fox what? | |
| Fox News, who? | |
| And I remember when I left Atlanta, nobody had ever heard of Fox News. | |
| And they're like, well, you're making the dumbest decision of your life. | |
| And it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. | |
| And there is, and I've watched this in both my radio and TV careers, a lot of people make a lot of shifts and a lot of changes in the course of their careers. | |
| And I've been fortunate to be able to continue to do what I love in both radio and TV with the same partners. | |
| But the landscape is also changing. | |
| Look at the popularity, for example, of Joe Rogan's podcast and other people's podcasts. | |
| And I don't think that my success in any way is predicated on other people's failures. | |
| What I do know about Tucker is he has a big following, and that I have no doubt that he's going to have many options available to him moving forward in his career. | |
| And his fans will be able to hear him and see him. | |
| We've seen Bill O'Reilly do it. | |
| He's a regular on this program and so many others as well. | |
| If I started listening them, I've missed too many names. | |
| With that said, I'm sure we'll learn more in the hours, days, weeks, months ahead. | |
| And if for people that think that I should know, I don't own the channel. | |
| I don't know. | |
| If I knew, I would tell you. | |
| I have a pledge to be honest with my audience. | |
| And so many people asking me, what happened? | |
| What happened? | |
| My honest answer is, I don't know. | |
| And, you know, all of us, you know, we at different times you have like competitive rivalries going on. | |
| I mean, there were years me and Bill O'Reilly really didn't get along. | |
| And anyway, one day we had a sit-down together. | |
| And Brian Kilmead was there, Geraldo was there. | |
| And we just kind of just brutally honest with each other about, you know, why we had this kind of schism between us. | |
| It was, well, everybody knew about it. | |
| It was not a secret. | |
| And we ended up that day putting our differences aside. | |
| And I just am a person that wants to get along with people if I can. | |
| If they don't want to get along with me, I understand. | |
| And I want to forgive. | |
| And I don't want to spend the rest of my life angry at anybody. | |
| I don't want to, I don't believe in any way that any success I have is predicated on anybody else's failure. | |
| I believe actually just the opposite. | |
| I believe a rising tide lifts all boats. | |
| If you have a good lineup on either a radio station or a TV station, it's good for everybody. | |
| And so that's my take on it. | |
| I don't think you've heard the last from Tucker unless he wants to not be on the air. | |
| He will have as many options as anyone would expect to do it. | |
| The media landscape is changing. | |
| People, I mean, look at, for example, the choices at night, Amazon, okay, Netflix, Hulu, Prime. | |
| I mean, there's so many options out there, which means that's kind of why you have to work really hard at doing the best shows you can do because people do have other options. | |
| And I don't want people tuning away from my show. | |
| So, but we, you know, so I'm sure in the days and weeks to come that we'll find out more information about it. | |
| And at that point, we can make our decisions. | |
| Anyway, later on, we'll talk more about it later in the program. | |
| I got a lot of news, though, that I do want to get to today. | |
| There is now rumors running rampant. | |
| Now, we know that Joe Biden is expected to announce, even though nobody wants him to make this announcement, but we expect that he's going to announce that he is running for a second term. | |
| I mean, even fake news CNN is saying that the polling is very, very clear that Biden's age is a massive challenge. | |
| ABC is out there reporting that Biden's reelection or even being on the ticket. | |
| Most Americans do not want to vote for him or an 81-year-old man for president. | |
| Even MSDNC points out in their poll that 26% of Americans, only 26%, think he should run for reelection. | |
| The country sees what's happening economically. | |
| We all are feeling what's happening on the foreign policy side. | |
| We know there that it's a disaster. | |
| We are witnessing the evolution of a new axis of evil with China, Russia, and Iran, and it is beyond bewildering to people. | |
| By the way, one last point on the media thing, and I'll get to this later in the show. | |
| I don't want to talk about it now, is Don Lemon was fired at CNN after 17 years, and he's pretty pissed off about it. | |
| He's out there tweeting about it. | |
| So he says he's stunned. | |
| He put out a statement. | |
| It was kind of bitter. | |
| But you could see that coming. | |
| That to me was not a surprise in any way. | |
| Nobody watched him, number one. | |
| The comments about Nikki Haley being passed a prime was probably, and him not getting along with his co-host was probably the end of it. | |
| He had said a lot of outrageous things over the years. | |
| I have stuck with my policy of never supporting a cancellation or a firing or a boycott of anybody anytime, any place, anywhere, and I'm never going to go there. | |
| But we're going to learn a lot. | |
| The issue really before us now, now, there are a lot of rumors running around that the possible indictment of Hunter Biden is very real, and that meetings are expected to take place as early as today, tomorrow, Wednesday, as it relates to Hunter. | |
| Here's where I think this is going, and I think this is all rooted in this fact. | |
| You have this IRS whistleblower out there and suggesting that Merrick Garland may have lied under oath. | |
| We'll get to that later. | |
| But this IRS whistleblower is saying that there is not equal treatment under the law as it relates to Hunter Biden and the treatment of the IRS of Hunter Biden versus a conservatives. | |
| Then we've got other issues involved in this, and that has to do with the suspicious activity reports that were discovered by James Comer. | |
| And then we have these new LLCs that were discovered by James Comer and his committee and that have become very revealing. | |
| And this has now brought this entire Biden family syndicate issue to the forefront. | |
| And last week we were able to report to you that there were nine Biden family members that were benefiting from these foreign business dealings of Hunter Biden. | |
| We now can say with certainty that Joe Biden lied when he repeatedly said that he had never had a single discussion with Hunter about his foreign business associates. | |
| That we can tell you. | |
| The question is, was this an influence peddling scheme? | |
| And now that we got these corporations, these SARS reports, now we're following money. | |
| Then you find where the money came from. | |
| And we know a lot of deals were made with China. | |
| I'd like to get a final figure. | |
| How much money did the Biden family do with the communist Chinese? | |
| What did Joe know and when did Joe know it? | |
| Forget about Hunter. | |
| The same thing would go with our number two geopolitical foe, if China's our number one geopolitical foe. | |
| How much money did the Biden family do in business with Russia? | |
| How much money did they do with Burisma and Ukraine? | |
| Why did Joe leverage that billion taxpayer dollars to get a prosecutor investigating his son fired? | |
| All of this is now beginning to hit because of the investigation into the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee. | |
| So we're going to find out. | |
| Later on, we'll have Eric Schmidt on the program, senator from Missouri. | |
| But at the time, he was running this case in Missouri. | |
| And anyway, he had told the Washington Examiner that he's focusing on the relationships, especially with Twitter. | |
| But in the lawsuit that was filed, you have certain pieces that we learned from Schmidt in a lawsuit in a partnership with Louisiana's Attorney General in an attempt to hold the agencies accountable. | |
| Now the question is, you know, why did Yoel Roth, the Twitter integrity site head at the time, talk about these weekly meetings that the FBI had with big tech companies and warning, according to Yoel Roth, warning that there might be a Russian hack and leak operation, in other words, a disinformation campaign targeting social media and that they've got to be on the lookout for that. | |
| And Yoel Roth admitting that they said it might be misinformation about Hunter Biden. | |
| Now, remember, the guy that headed this up for the FBI was the guy by the name of Elvis Chan. | |
| That's the guy that wrote the thesis in college that Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election, which we all know is completely untrue. | |
| And on top of that, you want to talk about election interference. | |
| We now know that thanks to the testimony of Mike Morrell, that in fact Tony Blinken led up the effort to get 51 former Intel officials to sign a letter saying, oh, no, the Hunter laptop story looks like a Russian hack and leak operation or a misinformation campaign, and you can't trust it. | |
| Well, not only did that result in big tech censoring the information, but secondly, it created doubt in the minds of the American people. | |
| They thought it was all BS when in fact all of it was true. | |
| Now, if that's not interfering, you know, and then here's another question. | |
| Did Tony Blinken get rewarded for leading up that effort? | |
| Because Joe Biden got on a campaign debate stage and quoted that letter as his defense that it didn't happen, that the Hunter Biden laptop was not real, when in fact it was very real. | |
| And then you raised the question, why did the FBI have it since December of 2019 and do nothing with it? | |
| All right, we will never forget what happened on 9-11, 2001. | |
| 2,977 people lost their lives, and people are still suffering and dying from 9-11-related illnesses. | |
| We have a whole generation that knows little to nothing about what happened on 9-11-01. | |
| Only two states in our country mandate K-12 learning, and that's why the Tunnel to Towers 9-11 Institute gives educators access to nonfiction resources for K-12. | |
| They have full curriculum units built around first-person accounts with scripted social studies lessons, activities, and backgrounds for teachers. | |
| Plus, they have their Discovering Heroes series of books and their accompanying curriculum units, a speakers bureau with access to 9-11 responders, survivors, loved ones. | |
| They have their 83-foot tractor trailer mobile exhibit. | |
| It's 1,100 square feet. | |
| It's an interactive museum with 9-11 artifacts. | |
| They have their Russell F. Siller Memorial Scholarship. | |
| That's given to children of program recipients who are exemplary high school students preparing for college. | |
| But anyway, they're asking all of us join Team Hannity and commit to $11 a month to help these heroes that laid it all out on the line for us. | |
| Anyway, go to their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org. | |
| The letter T, the number two, the letter T.org for the Tunnels of Towers Foundation. | |
| Come on, man. | |
| It's taken me 47 years to perfect doing nothing. | |
| I had to become president to show you I could do that better than anybody. | |
| Joe Biden, the most dangerous man in America. | |
| This is the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| 25 to the top of the hour. | |
| Thank you for being with us. | |
| You know, over 60 million lives lost at the hands of abortion. | |
| I've always said abortion's a heart issue. | |
| And what's great is our partnership with preborn.com slash Sean, S-E-A-N. | |
| You can donate to this group. | |
| They don't get money from any government, the federal government in particular, because they're not Planned Parenthood, I guess. | |
| And anyway, what they're doing at these Pre-Born Network clinics is they are showing expecting moms that may be considering abortion. | |
| They're using the science of ultrasound imaging, which has become so sophisticated today, where they have an opportunity for free because it's only because zero donations they can do this. | |
| They give women free ultrasounds, and that science is convincing them to choose life. | |
| And it's incredible. | |
| I'll give you one case, Victoria Perfect example, found out she was pregnant, and an internet search led her to a pre-born network clinic where she would decide the future of her baby. | |
| She saw the baby, you know, with 4D imaging, now you can see, you know, fingers and toes and facial features, and you hear the heartbeat. | |
| And she's now expecting a baby boy for $28. | |
| You can sponsor what is a life-changing ultrasound. | |
| And donations of any size go a long way to saving babies. | |
| And they also care for the mothers. | |
| They offer free counseling before and after birth. | |
| They offer baby formula, diapers, food, whatever is needed. | |
| They step up and try and help as much as they can. | |
| They can only do it if you're willing to donate. | |
| I recently decided to do it myself. | |
| I don't say it to brag. | |
| I like to keep donations private and secret, but I think it's important that I wanted to pay for two of the machines because I know they have a need for as many as they can. | |
| And those ultrasound machines, that technology is not inexpensive. | |
| But whatever you can donate, every penny goes right to the cause. | |
| Dial pound 250 on your cell, say the keyword baby, pound 250, keyword baby. | |
| Their website is preborn.com/slash sean, S-E-A-N, preborn.com slash Sean, S-E-A-N, and you can go from there. | |
| I'll tell you, you know, when you think that things just can't get any worse with the Biden administration, especially in terms of foreign policy, Joe Biden has just checked out. | |
| And China is now on the move to become the dominant world sole superpower. | |
| This axis of evil I keep talking about is real. | |
| Not making it up. | |
| It's real. | |
| And that is China, Russia, Iran. | |
| The Chinese brokering a deal with the Saudis and the Iranians, it is beyond historic. | |
| It's dangerous. | |
| I mean, these are two countries. | |
| You're dealing with a Shia country and a Sunni country. | |
| They hate each other and have hated each other. | |
| And now they're in the process of negotiating, again, led by the Communist Chinese and President Xi, a deal with China and Syria. | |
| Now, this is a real clear present danger to the free world and the world in general. | |
| And you're talking about, I would assume at some point North Korea becomes a part of this coalition. | |
| And all of that is dangerous to everybody. | |
| And then on the economic front, I don't think things could get any worse with two-thirds of the country now living paycheck to paycheck. | |
| That's a dangerous scenario for everybody in the country. | |
| And gas prices now are rising rapidly because ever since the alignment of Saudi Arabia, they've chosen sides. | |
| They're betting the communist Chinese are going to win this battle with Joe Biden as president. | |
| So they don't want to be on the losing side of this battle. | |
| And the same with the UAE. | |
| We see that, you know, we've learned that they partnered with Putin and Russia. | |
| We see Egypt now is providing arms to the Russians. | |
| That's not good either because we did have a coalition under Donald Trump that included the U.S., Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates against Iranian hegemony. | |
| Now the Iranians are getting bolder and bolder and working harder and harder to get nuclear weapons. | |
| And those nuclear weapons, coupled with their really twisted ideology, that's a danger for the entire world. | |
| And if I was China and I was Russia, I wouldn't be helping the Iranian mullahs get nuclear weapons because they could turn on them just as quick. | |
| But then back to the economic front, we got, you know, much to the delight of Beijing, they're getting all the oil they want from Iran. | |
| They're getting all the oil they want, all the energy they need from Russia. | |
| But we have an administration that is just hell-bent on no domestic energy production. | |
| You know, windmills are great. | |
| The problem with windmills is the technology does not exist to replace the lifeblood of the world's economy. | |
| That's fossil fuels. | |
| That's oil, gas, coal. | |
| And now we learn that the Biden administration is now finalizing a proposal that is going to force fossil fuel-fired power plants to curb their emissions or utilize costly carbon capture technology. | |
| You know what that means? | |
| That means they're raising the price of energy yet again because they just taxed oil, gas, and coal. | |
| They just taxed your pensions. | |
| They just raised taxes on corporations. | |
| So now they're even taking it to another step. | |
| Who do you think is going to pay for all of this requirement, all these requirements, you know, to now retrofit all, you know, coal, natural gas-fired power plants to cut and capture the vast majority of their carbon dioxide emissions? | |
| Who do you think is going to pay for that? | |
| You're going to pay for that technology. | |
| You're going to pay for that upgrade unless they follow the example of California, where now your utility bill is going to be based on what your income is. | |
| It's pretty unbelievable. | |
| So now they're preparing this major crackdown on power plants. | |
| Well, those power plants fuel our nation's power grid. | |
| All those electric vehicles that they want you to buy are, you know, put in a charging station. | |
| That charging station uses the power grid, 90% of which is fossil fuel related. | |
| It's pretty bad. | |
| This push now for the communist Chinese to replace the U.S. dollar as the world's currency, that's real too. | |
| And that's a real clear present danger as well. | |
| We've got to get to the bottom, though. | |
| And now that we know, last week we learned there were nine members of the Biden family. | |
| We originally only thought three. | |
| Now we know there are nine members of the Biden family that benefited financially from Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings. | |
| We know that Hunter implicates his own father in his own laptop that was very real, that the FBI was telling big tech companies is likely not real, even though they had it in December of 2019. | |
| And that was an influence on the election. | |
| You know, sad state of affairs. | |
| I told you about the fact Hunter had a Biden, Hunter Biden had a baby. | |
| He claimed it wasn't his baby. | |
| They had a paternity test. | |
| Turns out it was his baby. | |
| And Grandma and Grandpa Biden want nothing to do with their own grandchild, which to me is pretty pathetic. | |
| And if any Republican ever acted this way, I think that the scorn would be incalculable. | |
| Anyway, so the individual, lawyers for the former girlfriend of Hunter Biden, London Roberts, asked an Arkansas court Friday to jail the first son for failing to step up and provide his financial records as required in her lawsuit over support payments for their four-year-old daughter that's named Navy. | |
| Roberts claims that Hunter is flaunting the dignity and authority of the court by failing to provide one single item or word of discovery. | |
| Quote, the court should incarcerate the defendant in the detention center until he complies with the court's orders because he's trying to lower the payments. | |
| I guess these foreign business deals have been cut short because of all the scrutiny. | |
| And we're learning more and more each day. | |
| Now it's not three members. | |
| It's not nine members, but apparently 12 members, according to James Comer of the Biden family that benefited from his business dealings. | |
| Anyway, so Hunter's ex-girlfriend is literally now being sued by Hunter's, I don't know, some wealthy Hollywood lawyer, according to Miranda Devine named Kevin Morris. | |
| That's the same guy that generously paid off Hunter's $2.8 million IRS bill, which is also part of a federal criminal investigation by the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, into the first son's overseas business dealings. | |
| There's been a lot of rumblings all weekend about a possible meeting followed by a possible indictment of Hunter this week on tax issues and on the fact that he lied on his gun application. | |
| That's getting louder and louder every day. | |
| I can't say for sure, but it's looking more and more like that's going to happen. | |
| To me, that's the low-hanging fruit in this entire scandal. | |
| I think the real questions are, you know, how much money did the Biden family do in business with China? | |
| How much money did they put in their pocket? | |
| What did Joe know and when did Joe know it? | |
| The same questions apply to Russia. | |
| Those same questions then apply to Ukraine and the dozens of other countries that Hunter Biden was doing business with. | |
| How much money did they take in? | |
| How much money did Pops really get? | |
| What did Joe know and when did he know it? | |
| Because that would be called influence peddling. | |
| And that's at a time when he's the vice president of the United States. | |
| And it also blows out of the water his excuse, his lie that he had never talked to his son about his foreign business dealings. | |
| Then we got the issue of the IRS whistleblower. | |
| It looks like implicating Merrick Garland as being responsible and lying to Congress and being responsible for slowwalking the entire investigation. | |
| We need to hear from this whistleblower. | |
| Those whistleblower protections need to be put in place. | |
| We're also hearing that Hunter's lawyers are going after the whistleblower. | |
| And I don't know how that's going to end up at some point. | |
| Then we got the question of Tony Blinken and his role, according to Mike Morrell in his testimony before Congress, it was Tony Blinken that got the 51 former Intel officials to sign on to this letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop had all the markings of a Russian hack and leak operation or misinformation campaign. | |
| Then we need an answer as to even though the fact that the FBI had the laptop of Hunter Biden, why didn't they authenticate it? | |
| And why would they then allow their own agents to have weekly meetings with big tech companies and warn them about such a misinformation campaign in the lead up to the 2020 election? | |
| And that misinformation may be about Hunter that resulted in big tech censorship of the very real Hunter Biden laptop story broken by Emma Joe Morris in the New York Post, you know, just weeks before the 2020 presidential election that likely played a big role in all of this. | |
| You know, but the IRS whistleblowers exposing political influence, you know, and whether or not that influence was used to protect Hunter Biden. | |
| We need answers to all of this. | |
| On the issue of Blinken and the 51 former Intel people, we're now learning that his campaign helped gin up the disinformation. | |
| In other words, it was Tony Blinken working on behalf of the Biden campaign. | |
| Then it raises a question: did he get this cushy job as Secretary of State? | |
| It's considered one of the most prestigious jobs to get in any administration. | |
| Did he get it because he was the one that helped Joe win by getting 51 people to comment about something that they knew nothing about and ruined their credibility in the meantime? | |
| You know, as Matt Taibbi pointed out, media disinterest in Hunter Biden's laptop letter scandal shows that we're becoming the USSR, the former Soviet Union, with lies and no news. | |
| I mean, lawyers representing Hunter Biden now are scheduled to meet with the U.S. attorney and career DOJ officials this week to discuss the investigation into Hunter Biden. | |
| And the whistleblowers claiming that the probe into the younger Biden is being mishandled. | |
| And I'm told that it could be even a possible indictment as early as this week because I think they see, you see, I think what they're going to do is if they do charge Hunter Biden, they're going to do it for low-hanging fruit. | |
| They're not going to want to get to the real questions here. | |
| And that would be Tony Blinken. | |
| That would be the IRS whistleblower. | |
| That would be Merrick Garland's role. | |
| That would be the full extent of the business dealings abroad. | |
| And then the question of what Joe knew, when Joe knew it, and whether this was a full-on influence peddling scheme that benefited the entire family. | |
| I don't think it's getting, I think it's getting easier, not harder, for investigators because they had to fight hard to get the SARS reports, suspicious activity reports, and they had to work hard to track down all of these LLCs, some of which they had no idea ever existed. | |
| So it runs a lot deeper than we ever thought that it ran. | |
| It's pretty unbelievable in the end. | |
| But Joe Biden is planning to run his campaign a weekend of Bernie's reelection campaign. | |
| Joe is going to hide, say next to nothing at all, and that's how he's planning to run. | |
| In other words, let's run the way we did in 2016, except we don't have COVID as an excuse. | |
| Oh, by the way, Vice President Harris, got to give her a lot of credit. | |
| She credited a non-existent federal agency for approving the abortion pill. | |
| I mean, the federal drug administration may seem to be likely to break down the Ackerman for the FDA. | |
| That would be the Food and Drug Administration. | |
| Maybe somebody can inform her of that. | |
| Not the worst gaffe she's made. | |
| At least she wasn't giggling at the time she said it. | |
