This is an iHeart podcast.
All right.
Thanks, 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, I'll tell you what, this is going to be an interesting week.
I don't know.
I've been trying hard to get the information, but I haven't gotten it down pat yet.
On Wednesday at 9 a.m., Congressman James Comer of the House Reform, Government Reform and Oversight Committee has now put out word to the Biden Justice Department as of yesterday to hold off on any Hunter Biden indictment until he is able to make evidence public on Wednesday.
Now, I got very suspicious.
If you recall, all of a sudden we heard about an IRS whistleblower.
Remember?
IRS whistleblower.
Then all of a sudden, behind that was the issue of, well, did Merrick Garland, he has since denied it, did he lie before Congress on the issue of Hunter Biden?
Okay, put that off to the side for a second here.
Then we heard last week that there was likely potentially information, Charles Grassley and James Comer write a letter demanding information from the DOJ and the FBI regarding Joe Biden that they may have had since, what, 2018-ish or so that would directly implicate President Joe Biden and whether or not he performed public acts in exchange for money.
That'd be basically they're accusing him of bribery.
So we have not gotten that evidence yet either.
So this is all getting very interesting to watch unfold here.
So Comer's urging the DOJ, Biden's Justice Department, to hold off on any Hunter indictment.
Now, all of a sudden, once that IRS whistleblower came out, then all of a sudden the chatter got very, very loud that the arrest, indictment of Hunter Biden was imminent.
So James Comer says he will disclose, quote, specific Biden family bank records in this press conference on Wednesday, which he believes could indicate alleged bribery from foreign adversaries.
I mean, that is pretty damning.
I've got the press release here.
The Oversight Committee is investigating the Biden's family's influence peddling enterprise to determine if the Biden family has been targeted by foreign actors, if President Biden is compromised, and if there is a national security threat.
The committee has already obtained thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family and their associates' transactions.
And recently, the committee revealed one deal that resulted in several members of the Biden family and their companies receiving over $1 million in more than 15 incremental payments from a Chinese company through a third party.
So there's a lot going on here.
Now, look, Comer's, Putting him his, he's putting it all on the line here by saying this to the DOJ.
Now, don't expect the media mob to care one whit about any of this because, you know, all things, it's the Biden protection program that, you know, will remain in effect until the election in November of 2024.
But for him to urge the DOJ to hold on any potential Hunter Biden indictment until after Republicans have this press conference and unveil additional details surrounding the Biden family syndicate and their business dealings, Comer warned officials to wait to charge the first son until they hear from congressional leaders arguing that the possible indictment could be just a slap on the wrist compared to their upcoming revelations.
So, quote, my message to the Department of Justice is very loud and very clear.
Do not indict Hunter Biden before Wednesday.
He said this on Maria Barteromo's show, Sunday Morning Futures.
Quote: When you have the opportunity to see the evidence that the House Oversight Committee will produce with respect to the web of LLCs, we just learned this in the last week and a half, with respect to the number of adversarial countries that the family influence peddled in.
And this is not just about the president's son, this is about the entire Biden family, including the president of the United States.
He's saying that.
So we believe that there are a whole lot of tips that the IRS and the DOJ do not know about because we don't believe they've done a whole lot of digging into this, and we have.
That's a pretty deep, profound statement.
So, you know, if you go back, you have a formal federal prosecutor, this was late last week, brought forward a bribery allegation involving Joe Biden and an unnamed foreign national back from 2018.
This is when he was, you know, president a full two years before the charges were brought by this whistleblower.
They're now speaking to the House Oversight Committee.
Bud Cummins, a federal prosecutor, made the accusation to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jeff Berman, back on October 4th, 2018, dating to Biden's term as vice president, according to interviews and documents obtained by justthennews.com.
And he wrote that Berman, he wrote Berman an email claiming to have the evidence that President Biden exercised influence to protect his son Hunter's Ukrainian employers in exchange for payments to both father and son, as well as Hunter's friend and business partner, Devin Archer.
Cummins claimed that the Ukrainian prosecutor at the time, Lutsenko is his name, had wanted to go to the U.S. to meet him and could give Berman two anonymous witnesses to back up the allegations.
Quote, I can't really imagine a legitimate reason for the DOJ not to follow up on an offer like that.
I felt it was stonewalling.
And so this is all getting very interesting here.
You know, so Comer is saying, if you go forward with these, I've been calling it the low-hanging fruit because I don't believe they want to get to the bottom of this.
But Joe Biden's bribery allegations were brought to the DOJ in 2018, two years before charges were brought by a whistleblower now speaking to the House Oversight Committee.
So, you know, that's going to raise a lot of questions about who knew what and when.
What did Joe know?
When did he know it?
How much money did they do in business with our foreign adversaries?
Our number one geopolitical foe, China, number two geopolitical foe, Russia.
Now it explains a lot about Joe Biden leveraging that billion dollars.
Everyone cared about a quid pro quo, but Joe's saying you're not getting a billion U.S. dollars in Ukraine unless you fire the prosecutor.
Prosecutor was investigating not only Burisma, the company paying Hunter Biden, but they were investigating Hunter.
And he gave them six hours, leveraged $1 billion tax dollars to fire the guy.
They, son of a B, they fired him, and they got their billion dollars.
What are they supposed to do at that point?
They needed the money desperately.
Now, John Solomon has uncovered even more evidence at least five years ago that the Justice Department decided to look the other way on all of this.
New York Post pointed out as well: explosive bribery allegations involving Biden and foreign nationals brought to the DOJ as early as 2018.
That's two years before similar allegations were made against the president by the whistleblower.
So the whistleblower in the IRS case is initiating now the tax charges that we've been hearing, the rumblings of which we've been hearing now for weeks.
And, you know, what is the net fallout of this going to be?
I don't know.
I really, I have no idea.
Can't tell.
I don't have a crystal ball, but it's getting interesting, that's for sure.
White House advisors apparently now are clashing, according to Axios, with Hunter Biden's legal team.
And I'm not sure I'm buying all these reports today that are claiming that Joe Biden's advisors are at odds with Hunter's legal team.
I'm not sure I buy that at all.
But Axios is reporting the top aides to the president, clashing with Hunter Biden's team over strategies for dealing with the legal battles and Republicans' attacks that surround the president's son.
The tensions led Hunter, without involving the president's top aides, to hire Abby Lowell.
Now, let me pause right here.
I don't know how many of you know the name Abby Lowell.
There are like five amazing lawyers in Washington, D.C.
I happen to have one of them as my lawyer.
And Abby is on that list.
There are not many amazing lawyers in Washington, D.C., the people that really, look, put it this way.
He got John Edwards off.
He got off Senator Menendez.
He's a real lawyer, serious lawyer, and he's good at his job.
And that's just a fact.
Now, Miranda Devine had a lot of interesting stories and sidebars that I think we need to pay attention to.
One being Biden is setting the stage for pardoning Hunter, which is pretty interesting, as he frames potential DOJ charges as a political witch hunt.
Oh, okay.
What's next?
They're going to pardon the whole Biden family.
Then Miranda points out in the New York Post that Hunter Biden's ex-business partner, Devin Archer, he has one more shot before going to jail.
Then he's going to be locked up.
Urged to spill the Biden dirt so he can avoid prison, which I believe every second of it.
Hunter's pal is in a panic.
Miranda writes that as Hunter Biden faces a potential criminal indictment this week, his former best friend, Devin Archer, will make his last bid to avoid jail tomorrow, Tuesday, when his appeal is heard in a courtroom in lower Manhattan in New York City.
As he grows increasingly despondent, friends with knowledge of Hunter's thinking are telling Archer to accept that the Bidens have thrown him under the bus and that a last-minute presidential pardon has been ruled out.
They have urged him to save himself by using the only currency that he has left, and that would be his knowledge of the Biden family influence peddling scheme for which he had a front row seat for four years during Joe Biden's vice presidency.
Then it talks about the White House meet and greets and the big lie that Joe Biden said during the election.
Well, there were actually two big lies.
One was, I never one time spoke with Hunter about his foreign business dealings.
Yeah, that was a lie.
Then, of course, he met with a lot of these people.
I mean, this is now really, really serious.
The other big lie, of course, is, you know, former CIA chief Mike Morrell telling Congress, you know, who wrote the ex-spy letter dismissing the post-Hunter Biden laptop reports.
And then, of course, that effort led up by Tony Winken Blinken.
Apparently, she's reporting that it misled the people that signed that, the 51 Intel officials, by saying he'd clear it with the agency, none of which they did.
Now, on the issue of FoxNews.com reporting that Biden is setting the stage for pardoning Hunter as he frames potential DOJ charges.
What is the political fallout of that going to be?
I don't know.
But if you remember, at the end of the Trump presidency, there was a lot of talk about Trump potentially pardoning himself and pardoning all of his family.
And maybe in retrospect, they should have done that.
I don't know.
So we'll see.
But these bribery charges are clear, and they're not mincing words in what they say that they believe the DOJ and the FBI has.
They are saying that they have a whistleblower that, in fact, is saying that is credible and saying with certainty that the DOJ and FBI are in possession of information that Joe Biden personally benefited financially for actions that he took as vice president.
Well, I think one of them could be Ukraine.
You're not getting a billion dollars until you fire the prosecutor.
Who's the prosecutor?
He's the one investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden.
And Hunter Biden admits on GMA he had no experience with Ukraine, no experience in energy, oil, gas, or coal.
Well, why are they paying you all this money?
ABC asks him.
I don't know.
Could it be because of your father?
Probably.
Probably.
I mean, how many other Americans would like that?
Anyway, so we're going to watch all of this very, very closely as the week unfolds here.
So we start off with a pretty interesting week.
I'll tell you that.
And by the way, this is not the first bribe allegation against Joe Biden.
You may not know this.
You know, Cummins, the former federal prosecutor, first reported the bribery allegations of then New York attorney Jeff Berman in October 2018 in an email claiming he had evidence that Joe Biden exercised influence to protect his son's Ukrainian employer in exchange for payments to Hunter Biden, Devin Archer, and Joe Biden.
That's what they're saying.
25 to the top of the hour, Mother's Day.
Happy Mother's Day, by the way, to all you moms out there, is on Sunday.
I do want to highlight a great organization that cares deeply about mothers, and that's Pre-Born.
They don't get any federal funding.
I've always said that the issue of abortion is a hard issue.
It's not going to be a legal issue because if people want an abortion, they're going to find a way to get one.
So in other words, Pre-Born Network, they have a network of clinics, and they are offering any expectant mom, absolutely for free, the science of ultrasound so that they can make an informed choice about giving life to what is growing, the miracle of life growing within them or not.
And when a distressed mother comes to pre-born, they're welcome with open arms.
They are offered a free ultrasound.
There's free counseling that they offer.
They even offer moms after the baby's born diapers and baby formula food, whatever they need.
They do it only because of your generous donations.
So, this Mother's Day, you can help bring life to both a mother in need and at-risk and an at-risk baby.
One ultrasound, it's always free, is $28, and you might be saving a life.
And maybe you want to sponsor five ultrasounds.
Every penny goes towards loving mothers and babies.
And, you know, recently I donated two ultrasound machines.
I'm not bragging.
I'm just telling you that I believe in the cause, that it's got to be a heart issue.
And through the science of ultrasound, when expecting moms see, you know, facial features and fingers and toes and hear a heartbeat, it pulls on their heart and they see the miracle of birth within them and they want to give birth to that child.
Anyway, dial pound250 if you can donate and say the keyword baby, pound250, keyword baby.
They have a website.
It's safe and secure, preborn.com/slash Sean S-E-A-N.
That's preborn.com/slash Sean.
So in the midst of all of this loud chowder, and it's also the mainstream media mob about Hunter's potential indictment all week and James Comer's admonition to the DOJ, do not indict Hunter before Wednesday.
And he provides new information.
Joe Biden was interviewed on MSDNC.
It was a cupcake interview.
I mean, it was fawning beyond words.
Anyway, and during the interview, Joe defended his son.
Listen.
Sir, there is something personal that's affecting you.
Your son, while there's no ties to you, could be charged by your Department of Justice.
How will that impact your presidency?
First of all, my son's done nothing wrong.
I trust him.
I have faith in him.
And it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him.
He's done nothing wrong.
By the way, notice the question with no ties to you, none whatsoever.
Yeah, there are ties to him.
Hunter Biden himself on his own laptop implicates his own father and says he has to pay half his income to Pops and whines bitterly about paying for Pops' home repairs and 10% for the big guy, et cetera, et cetera.
One question that I'm getting more and more often is Joe really going to be the guy?
I got to believe at some point somebody says, you know what?
He's not up to the job on the Democratic side.
Now, we had Marianne Williamson on our show last week.
Tonight we have Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Right now, he's polling at 19% for the Democratic primary.
That is a real number.
That's not a phony number.
Now, that situation is rather untenable in as much as Joe Biden is refusing to debate any of his challengers.
But 19% is a very respectable number.
I think Robert F. Kennedy will be on with me tonight on Hannity.
He was on with John Castamedes on his Sunday Roundtable show and said he believes that the CIA was responsible for his uncle, President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
Listen to this.
Who do you think really killed your uncle?
Well, I think there's overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in this murder.
I think it's beyond a reasonable doubt at this point.
In terms of my uncle's death, the evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder and then the cover.
I mean, that's a pretty, pretty powerful thing here.
Anyway, so we're seeing that.
By the way, if Uncle James can send over that last four-way I sent Linda, that'd be great.
Let me get to the campaign itself.
We have the first major media mob poll after Biden announced he's running again.
And it is a disaster for Joe Biden.
Now, if I had to bet, I'd say the most likely person to get into this primary race would be, again, I'm guessing.
He said he wasn't, but I'm guessing it would be California Governor Gavin Newsom.
You think that's far-fetched, Linda?
I don't think anything is out of the realm of possibility, but I'm telling you right now, if Newsom gets in the race, I just, there's not enough hair gel in the world to keep him prepped and ready for all the debates.
Oh, wait, that's that right.
They're not having debates because they're Democrats.
Moving on.
Are you done?
Do you feel like you got to do it?
I'm never done.
I can't stand Newsom.
I know that you're more, whatever, equal on it.
I'm not.
No, I'm not.
I disagree with him on politics.
That's it.
It's really that simple.
By the way, I disagree with him on everything.
You like Robert F. Kennedy on one issue and one issue only.
That's not true.
I like him on two issues.
All right.
One issue is vaccinations.
The second is what?
The fact that he doesn't stand with the rest of everybody.
He's a disruptor.
You know what I'm saying?
He's like, okay, I'm not going to do things the way everybody else does them.
He's smart enough to say, and the Democratic Party has run away from any notion of having secure borders.
And he said he would secure the borders.
Well, I mean, if you live in America right now and you just have an honest conversation without saying you're Republican or Democrat or whatever, it's really hard to deny what is happening in streets all over America.
It is not a Texas, California, Arizona problem.
It is a 50-state problem.
So Joe makes his announcement via videotape, a three-minute videotape, because he's not really capable of doing a regular announcement.
Anyway, so the first poll after Biden announces he's running for a second term comes out, and it's from ABC and the Washington Post.
And they show that Biden's job approval rating is now at a career low.
68% of the American people say he, and by the way, I don't want to pat myself on the back here.
We were way, way, way, way ahead of the curve, pointing out how weak, frail, and what a cognitive mess he was.
And we took a lot of heat in the beginning for saying that he was a cognitive mess and stating the obvious, but I digress.
But 68% of Americans think he's too old to run for another term.
Only 44% see Biden's potential opponent, Donald Trump, as too old.
The difference is night and day.
He did two one-hour interviews with Mark Levin.
He did a one-hour-plus interview with Tucker Carlson and a one-hour plus interview with yours truly.
And so he's, and he can go on forever.
That's the thing.
And he's articulate.
He's engaged.
He's informed.
He's not struggling to communicate in any way, shape, manner, or form.
Look, Bernie Sanders is another example.
I think he's older than Joe, but he's a lot sharper than Joe by a long shot.
Biological age is not what we're talking about here.
Trump far surpasses Biden in having the mental sharpness and physical health to serve effectively as president.
It's not even close.
Another difference is problematic for Biden.
Should Trump emerge as the Republican nominee, 54 to 36% say Trump did a better job handling the economy when he was president than Biden has done so far in his term.
And that's only going to get worse, not better.
Substantial majorities of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said that they would be satisfied 75% with Trump, 64% with DeSantis as their party's nominee.
You compare Trump's position to Biden in his party.
Just 36% of Democrats with Democratic-leaning independents would like to see their party nominate Biden for president.
58% prefer someone other than Biden.
And if you look at the matchup between Biden and Trump, 44% of Americans say they definitely or probably vote for Trump, only 38% for Biden.
This is a disaster for a sitting president.
Now, now that the Democratic Party seems to be stuck with an increasingly unpopular president that's hell-bent on seeking a second term, the Hill rightly pointed out today that the party leaders have a choice.
Either they risk a potential electoral trouncing in 2024, or they stage a, quote, Nixon-like intervention to make it clear to Biden that he has to go.
Quote, several Democratic political operatives have recently confided off the record that they feel the party has painted itself into a deep corner.
They're afraid to confront Biden even privately with the possibility that he may not be physically or mentally up to this very demanding reelection campaign.
And he's not going to get away with hiding in the basement like he did the last time.
They'll try.
Democrats may consider the solution that Republicans turned to in August of 74 in the middle of the Watergate scandal that had sealed Richard Nixon's fate.
And three senior Republicans, including Barry Goldwater, personally made it clear to Nixon that if he didn't resign voluntarily, that he'd be impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate.
In other words, what they're saying is they'll dump Joe.
They'll say goodbye to Joe.
I mean, this is a new low of his presidency.
And there's only one demographic that I saw, 52% of African American voters, which is down from 82% when he took office, support and give him a positive approval rating.
Biden has even lower approval, 40% from Hispanic Americans.
Female voters, now Biden is at a low among women, another key Democratic Party group, 39% approval.
Moderates, he's at a low of 40%.
I mean, there's no good news here for him.
There's nothing good for him.
Then, of course, last week he announced this he's having a press conference.
Turns out to be an MSDNC infomercial.
That's what it was.
And it's not good economic news either.
You know, now he's now painted himself into a corner.
He's going to meet tomorrow with Kevin McCarthy.
It's been over 100 days.
Kevin McCarthy has basically been begging and pleading with Joe Biden to avert a debt ceiling crisis.
So once Joe refused to meet with him for 100 days, he finally said, okay, I've got to take measures into my own hands.
And all they did was reduce spending.
And don't listen to the demagoguery out there.
They're going to demagogue this.
Republicans are cutting this.
They're cutting that.
No, they're not.
They're returning to 2022 spending levels, which, by the way, is post-COVID.
So they're still dramatically higher.
They're going to reduce baseline budgeting or the percentage of growth to 1%.
And they're getting rid of a lot of the waste, fraud, and abuse.
And it was scored by the CBO at $4.8 trillion in savings over 10 years in exchange for the debt ceiling.
And Joe has steadfastly said that he's not going to negotiate.
Well, good luck not negotiating because that's not going to end well.
You've only left yourself three weeks before the deadline, according to Janet Yellen.
The U.S. has no good options, she said, to avoid an economic calamity if lawmakers refuse to raise the debt ceiling, she said, in the next few weeks.
The nation will soon reach its 31.4 trillion borrowing limit and will default on its payments unless the measure is taken.
I told you this was coming.
And don't fall into the panic.
Republicans did their job in the House.
Now they got to stand strong and stick by their plan.
And Biden now is refusing to rule out ignoring the debt limit if Republicans insist on ridiculous cuts.
I don't believe this would be constitutional.
On the question of the debt limit fight, Biden rejected Republican claims that he and Democrats are pushing the country towards default.
Well, they're not talking to Republicans.
The Constitution is clear.
Spending must be approved by Congress, not by the executive branch.
Anyway, so he's saying, you know, that he might be able to rely or invoke the 14th Amendment to challenge the constitutionality of the debt limit.
That's not going to fly.
I don't see that flying.
I mean, I guess anything can happen in a court of law these days, but that's where we are.
Nearly 50% of Americans now say a bank collapse has them worried.
And by the way, it has me worried.
We're now headed for a fourth bank collapse.
You know, despite assurances by Biden that the banking crisis was over, a fourth U.S. bank is now in trouble.
According to Fox Business, Pacific Western Bank is now trying to calm their investors as the stock is just tanking completely.
In April, the bank said it had total deposits at $28.19 million.
I'm sorry, billion for the first quarter, marking a nearly 17% decrease from the fourth quarter and a 15% decline from the first quarter.
Deposits had risen in March 20th when they were at 27.1.
This is not good.
And you have downward revisions.
Everyone was saying, oh, look at all these unemployment numbers.
Well, once you look at the Labor Department reporting that the economy gained 253 jobs in April, well, that's great.
But when you go back to March numbers and their revised numbers, those revisions amounted to 149,000 fewer jobs than previously reported.
So basically, it was a horrible month for April.
Not a good month as was reported widely.
Anyway, 800, 941, Sean.
Now, add to this the crisis at our border, and that's getting worse.
I mean, it's, you know, I'm really getting a kick out of the fact that, you know, that sanctuary states and all these liberal enclaves are so angry.
In Chicago, what does Lori Lightweight do?
She says, no, if you send illegal immigrants from Florida or from Texas to my state, I'm sending them to the suburbs.
Same thing now, Mayor Adams in New York.
Mr. Everybody's welcome to New York until 15,000 illegal immigrants are sent up by Greg Abbott, and now he wants to send them to Rockland County.
And the Rockland County head said, sorry, it's not happening.
So same thing with Martha's Vineyard.
I don't think the people that ended up in Martha's Vineyard, the illegal immigrants, spent a whopping even, what?
I don't think they spent 24 hours there.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, so what is James Comer going to tell us on Wednesday?
We'll check in with John Solomon.
What is the legal jeopardy for the Bidens?
We'll ask Greg Jarrett.
That's next.

Tired solutions for America.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Wall Street Journal actually made a good point accusing Joe Biden of interfering in the DOJ's election, you know, by publicly insisting Hunter has done nothing wrong.
Remember, the DOJ is part of the executive branch.
All right, when we come back, we'll have all the analysis, breaking news with John Solomon, the legal analysis with Greg Jarrett, and what does James Palmer have up his sleeve?
Export Selection
