Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
Joe Biden did nothing, nothing, not even approximating improper, much less wrong or illegal.
There is no evidence linking Joe Biden to anything related to Hunter Biden.
Most Americans are a $400 unexpected expense away from bankruptcy.
Republicans may have to find something else to criticize me for.
Now that inflation is coming down, maybe they'll decide to impeach me because it's coming down.
I don't know.
I love that one.
Freighto is back in style.
satanity show means information on breaking news old inspired solutions for america Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup and information overload.
Our toll-free number is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Pretty fascinating, you know, listening to our pollsters the last half hour and them saying that, yeah, about 50% of the country hasn't heard about the Joe Biden bribery scandal allegations.
And whether people have heard about it or not, they will be hearing about it.
This is not going away.
And all of this got started on this program when we had Peter Schweitzer for his first interview with his best-selling book, Secret Empires.
That was in 2018.
That's how long it has taken to get critical mass to the point where this is now a scandal of monumental proportions because of the actions that Joe Biden took as vice president on behalf of Burisma that was paying his son a fortune.
And remember, he doesn't have to even personally be enriched by this if his family members are enriched.
Yeah, that's beyond a quid pro quo.
Those are real bribery allegations.
Anyway, we're going to get to Peter in a second.
Steve Miller also will be joining us.
You know, we went back and I actually have only been playing regularly Joe Biden denying when he was a candidate that he ever spoke to his son Hunter about his foreign business dealings.
And he said it over and over and over again.
But he's also been saying it over and over again as president.
This montage I'm about to play is two minutes long.
All these denials and just outright lying to the American people.
And it was only in the last week and a half that the I never spoke to my son about his foreign business dealings evolve into, we continue to stand on our position.
Joe never went into business with Hunter.
Okay, well, Devin Archer blew that out of the water this week by exposing that Joe was calling in to all these important meetings with these foreign business leaders and of course discussing the panic of burisma executives to get to D.C., meaning to Joe, so that they can get this prosecutor fired and off their back, which, by the way, Joe leveraged the billion dollars to do that.
And by the way, the one that got enriched because of it was Hunter because he can continue to get paid, yet he had no experience.
But this is just what we could find.
Joe Biden directly lying about this issue.
The arrogance here is on a spectacular level.
Listen.
I did not know he was on the board of that company.
I've never discussed my business or their business, my sons or daughters.
I never discussed a single thing with my son about anything having to do with Ukraine.
I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business series.
I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their business.
Do you stand by your statement that you did not discuss any of your son's overseas business?
I stand by that statement.
So he lied as president and he lied as a candidate.
And they've tried to change the story.
Now, what are they going to change it to in light of Devin Archer's blockbuster deposition that took place?
Anyway, joining us now, Peter Schweitzer, head of the Government Accountability Institute and author of the bestseller that got this entire thing exposed in the first place, Secret Empires.
That book came out in 2018.
Stephen Miller is with us, President of America First.
He's a legal, which is also a former senior advisor to President Trump.
He actually had a great tweet out today.
I'll read it to you.
It said, in 2020, they smashed every rule to reclaim power after the Russia and Ukraine and all the other hoaxes failed.
BLM burned cities while Democratic officials ordered police to stand down.
Democratic governors locked down whole states during COVID to inflict maximum economic misery.
The intel agencies planted fake stories about Russian bounties while censoring American speech and shielding the laptop story in the Biden criminal enterprise from the American people.
Democratic leaders use COVID as a pretext to illegally rewrite election laws, sabotage election integrity, and now they're criminalizing the First Amendment and any effort by those outside the ruling establishment to question election administration while trying to imprison for life President Biden's chief political rival, Donald Trump, right in the middle of an election year.
Anyway, Peter Schweitzer, Stephen Miller, welcome back to the program, both of you.
Thank you.
Be with you, Sean.
All right, Peter, let me start.
This all began in 2018, and here we are in 2023, and lo and behold, everything that you told us that day and have told us in subsequent days now is hit critical mass.
And Joe Biden, now president, has himself a real bribery scandal allegation story that is growing by the hour.
Yeah, it's pretty remarkable, Sean.
I mean, it's a testament, I think, to a lot of people, certainly to you and to our research team, that you've just got to be persistent, that it takes a while for these stories, which can be complicated, to really capture the attention of the American people, especially when you have very powerful institutions in the federal government, big media, big tech, not wanting the story to, you know, I still believe, I know you still believe, truth matters.
And every single defense that they offered throughout this last five years has essentially been proven to be a lie.
First, they said there were no deals.
Then they said that Hunter Biden made no money off these deals.
Then they said that Joe Biden had no knowledge of the deals.
Then they said Joe Biden didn't talk to any of the business partners.
Now they're claiming he wasn't a partner or a part of the business.
And I think that's going to be disproven as well.
Well, they were saying that before Devin Archer's deposition.
I don't know what they're going to say now.
They've yet to really give any response.
Yeah, no, that's right.
So, you know, to me, the most startling thing that Devin Archer did was he confirmed the burisma part of the story, which is that burisma wanted Joe Biden fired and that according to his testimony, Hunter and Ukraine.
Although they wanted Joe Biden to fire the prosecutor.
Yeah, sorry, sorry, yes.
They wanted to fire the prosecutor, and they were going to call D.C. If you look at the Hunter Biden laptop, he has very, very few, if any, contacts with people in any official capacity in the Obama administration.
He called his father.
That's pretty clear-cut.
And we know, of course, your audience knows that Joe Biden bragged about firing the prosecutor.
That, to me, is a complete case that if there was somebody else that was doing this with a different last name, charges would have been brought right away.
All right.
Now, on the political side of this, I think you really did a great job in that tweet.
I don't know how many characters I actually let you have in there, Stephen Miller, but just enough to get the full story out.
But there's no doubt they want Donald Trump in jail.
They want him to die in jail.
That's what they want.
They don't want.
Now, and that's an interesting phenomenon, too, to me, because if you listen to Democrats, oh, we want Donald Trump.
We think he's the easiest to beat.
Well, they believe that.
Then why are they working so hard to see that he's not on the ticket?
Yes, but you're asking all the right questions and saying all the right things.
So first, thank you for taking the time.
It's quite an honor, Sean, I will say, having watched you for so many years.
And I'm not making you sound old, but going back to when I was a kid growing up in California, to now have you reading my tweet on air as an example of good political commentary is quite an honor.
Well, I can't write a speech like you, Ken.
So it's an honor to read your words.
But anyway, but look at where we are, Stephen.
This is a scary time and an inflection point, I believe, in American history.
Right.
That was my point, is to try to show what a terrifying time this is, to document all the way the corrupt regime, the Democratic Party, and the radical left has been terrorizing our populace for year after year after year, letting rioters burn down our streets, censoring our speech, deplatforming us, locking us down, making life as miserable and painful as possible.
And then, as I mentioned, rewriting election rules state after state after state without even going through any kind of legal process or procedure, all culminating now in trying to, as you said, to put Donald Trump in jail, not for one lifetime, but for many lifetimes.
And so all this BS where they say, oh, they're really trying to help Trump.
This shouldn't have to be said, but let me say it now as clearly as I can.
When the Department of Justice tries to put you in handcuffs and lock you up in a federal prison for hundreds of years, they're not trying to help you.
They're trying to destroy you.
And that shouldn't have to be said, but I will say it on your show as clearly and as emphatically as I can.
You know, this is the scary part.
And these pollsters we had on, we had John McLaughlin and Matt Towery and Robert Cahaley on in the last half hour, Peter.
Half the country still does not know what you told the country for the first time in 2018.
And I will say this.
You know, sometimes I get accused by members of my audience, Hannity, you repeat yourself.
And we did an experiment during COVID, and I said, and Linda said, why do you have to keep talking about monoclonal antibodies?
I said, because nobody's going to remember it.
And she said, but you say it every day.
And I said, okay, I'll do it.
We'll do a little test.
And I went to every person that was calling in on hold, and I said, how often do you listen to the show?
We listen every day, okay, or whatever.
And what is my advice?
What is Sean Hannity's advice if you get a positive COVID test?
Not one person got the answer right, even though for months and months I've been telling people the first thing I recommend is you call your doctor and ask them if monoclonal antibodies is a good option for you.
Not telling them what to do, but ask them that.
That was the one thing that I saw that worked.
Similarly, it's taken a long time to get this information about Joe leveraging a billion dollars to get that prosecutor fired in six hours so his son would continue to get paid for a job he had no qualifications for.
It's taken all this time, and only half the country has it in their political bloodstream.
Yeah, it's discouraging on one level, but it's also not surprising.
I mean, you've talked about it, low-information voters, voters who don't care, who don't seem to be that interested in these issues.
And, of course, the problem is, you know, the old phrase, you may not be interested in these issues, but these issues are going to be interested in you because they affect the kind of leadership you get.
So you're quite right.
You have to sometimes keep repeating things because it takes a time for things to sink in.
You know, what you're in in the story you were talking about with COVID and, you know, talking about treatments or talking about the Biden, you know, these are things that are kind of radical because you're telling people, look, what all these official agencies or what these news outlets are telling you is not the complete picture.
And what I'm telling you, based on facts and evidence, runs contrary to some of the things that they're telling you.
That sometimes is a big mountain to climb.
But again, it happens.
You spread the word during COVID on some of the treatments.
You've been on really on the Hunter Biden thing from the beginning in 2018, and other people have joined the chorus.
But you have to keep repeating it, and it is starting to absorb the body politic.
I saw a survey about three weeks ago.
It was a Harvard Harris poll, certainly not a conservative pollster.
58% of the American people, including 57% of independents, believe that Joe Biden was involved in corrupt business deals involving his family.
Those certainly were not numbers we saw in 2018, 2019.
No, that's true.
And I think by the time November 2024 comes around, if Joe is the nominee, if he's still around, then I think it will, every American will know this.
And compared to a document scandal or January 6th persecution or Stormy Daniels indictments or Fulton County, I think bribery is just a whole nother level.
Quick break.
More with Peter Schweitzer, Steve Miller on the other side than your calls.
And why did James, Uncle James, sweet baby James, go to see the Barbie movie?
I am in a state of shock.
We'll get to that.
Your call is 800-941-SEAN as we continue.
I've been with Peter Schweitzer and Stephen Miller discussing the Biden, Joe Biden bribery scandal allegation.
How many times, Stephen Miller, have you seen me play that tape of Joe Biden and not getting the billion dollars?
You got six hours.
Son of a bee, they did it.
How many times have I played that?
Not enough, and you've been playing it more than anybody, to your point.
You need to play it and keep on playing it and not stop playing it until every single American has those words memorized.
That is a smoking gun tape.
And as Peter said, the reason why it is is because Devin Archer confirmed in his testimony that it was the objective of the company paying Hunter to have that prosecutor removed.
And so that is, therefore, the quid pro quo.
That's what connects all the dots.
Hunter was paid.
Hunter involved Joe in his business dealings.
Joe hops on the call.
Joe is the person who has the authority because his appointment on Ukraine to then execute the dirty deed.
He's the brand.
When the Burisma executives said we need to call DC, Hunter got daddy on the phone.
Daddy followed through.
Burisma got what they wanted.
And Hunter continued to enrich himself.
Sounds like a quid pro quo to me.
Luke.
Yeah.
And that completes the criminal scheme, which, by the way, is a prosecutable crime that can be charged in 2025.
All right.
Steve Miller, thank you.
Peter Schweitzer, thank you.
We appreciate both of you and the hard work you're doing.
25 to the top of the hour.
Can't believe the questioning that is about to begin with Sweet Baby James and his rationale for going to see the new Barbie movie.
Maybe he's just fascinated with Margot Robbie.
I don't know.
Maybe there's got to be some reason.
So on this show, everybody's heard me talk about Uncle James, Sweet Baby James, and we're relatives.
He's married to my sister.
But I gave him the name Sweet Baby James because he's the nicest human being that I've ever met.
He's the brother that I always wanted.
I had three older sisters and never had.
He's a spiritual mentor to me.
Always, always, always offering me great advice and counsel.
And, you know, he is the real deal type of Christian.
I admire so much about this man, and he makes me a better person.
He appeals to the better side of me all the time at all times.
You know, he's there on my tough days.
He's there on my easy days.
And we've been through wars together.
And he's always had my back, always.
And I can count on him.
And something happened this weekend that has shocked me.
So you and my sister.
Now, you're an empty nester.
Yeah.
As a matter of fact, for nine months, you lived with me.
And it was the three of us.
We were all paling around together.
I thought it was going to be a month.
It ends up you didn't leave for eight or nine months, which was fine because my sister would make, you know, dinner every night, half of which I like.
You left it.
I like the chicken soup, but I didn't want, but she'd make a new chicken soup every week.
And I got to the point where we'd make something else.
However, I was very grateful.
And then when you guys left, I'm like, I'm lonely.
Oh, I don't think so.
We visit now and then, and you're doing fine.
No, and you leave your dog there.
I had a problem because they keep their dog a prisoner on a leash all day.
It's just frustrating to me.
I've tried to free Festie a lot.
You couldn't have been a better person.
So let me get to the point here.
Go ahead.
You and my sister went to the movie, Barbie.
Yes.
You went to the Barbie movie.
Okay.
Your daughter going who's traveling abroad this summer for college.
She's brilliant.
Your son is brilliant.
You went just to two.
I want to know why.
And I want to know what the hell were you thinking why?
First off the bat, you know, you challenged my manhood card on this, and I was like, I said you lose your man card.
I laughed at you, too.
Listen, I qualified marksman in weapons training when I was in the Navy.
That's the highest level you can qualify.
I'm secure of myself.
Listen, the reason we saw Barbie, it's a cultural phenomenon.
We saw Oppenheimer, which I recommend to your audience.
We saw Sound of Freedom, which I heartily recommend to your audience.
Okay, I'm with you on Oppenheimer, and I'm definitely with you on Sound of Freedom.
I'm proud you took point on that, by the way.
I just would like to say that to your vast audience.
But you're a ducked question.
Save your money.
Don't go see Barbie.
I saw it because I always want to understand this culture.
I do a lot of your research when it comes to cultural things.
Sweet Baby James hits me with a pack a mile high every day.
So I need to know what's going on.
And I saw this movie because I saw it as a cultural phenomenon, and I want to understand what's the thinking here, what are they saying?
And I would say to you, I did it for the sake of the show and the audience.
And my understanding of this society that I live in.
And I would have like some secret crush on our Margot Robbie.
Not in the least.
Although, listen, I have no idea.
And then he stopped himself.
You know, she's a fine-looking woman.
What I would say to your audience is save your money.
By the way, for James, that's risque.
Go ahead.
That's as risque as I get.
I would say to your audience, save your money.
This movie is Hollywood propaganda at its worst.
They rail against the patriarchy, but of course, to oppose it, they have to misrepresent it.
You know, the funny thing about this movie, Barbie's existential question is like she's facing death.
And the last thing this movie would ever suggest or say, is there maybe an answer to that, the death and how that's for all humans?
This movie ignores any religious or faith-based answers.
In other words, as Christians, we believe in heaven.
We believe let not your heart be troubled.
We know there's something else.
This movie has a line where when Barbie asks about death and everything comes to a screeching halt, every character stops dancing.
And I said to Terese, your sister, who, by the way, I love the fact she kept saying to me throughout the whole movie, I don't get this.
I don't get this.
I said, Terese, that's good you don't get this.
That's fucking true.
So the movie comes to a stop because Barbie's like, have you ever thought about death?
And everyone, they're like, screech.
But I said to Terese, the real thing that would have made this movie come to a screeching halt, if Barbie had dared say, what do you think about God?
What do you think about Jesus, the son of God?
That movie, that's the line that Hollywood will never give you.
The fact that you're like spinning out of this is a crafty way.
I've got to give your props for, but I am shocked.
Now, Linda, would you ever go see Barbie?
Absolutely not.
Ethan, you're going to go see Barbie?
No, I will not be.
Katie, you're going to go see Barbie?
So funny thing, I actually saw it on Sunday for the show.
For the show, just like James.
That's very true.
Did you go with your fiancé?
I did.
We did.
He hated it.
Just like James.
Yeah, I hate it.
I hate it.
For me, that kind of gave into the peer pressure.
I want to see Oppenheimer.
That's my next one to see.
And I kind of have to agree, it was a little bizarre.
I was expecting it to be funny or have some semblance of comedy, and it was kind of just weird.
The sum of the parts is just, it just didn't flow together the way I thought it would.
So, yeah, I don't want to say it was a complete disappointment, but it was very, very odd.
She's on the money.
All right.
I got to give you credit.
You gave me a really solid answer, which I'm not surprised about because you are savant.
You are a genius and my brother.
And I'm going to cut you slack on this one.
But I appreciate that was a good answer.
Sweet baby James, sir.
Margaret in Connecticut, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
How are you, Margaret?
How are you?
Very well.
Thank you.
I'd love for somebody to explain to me sufficiently this visceral hatred for Trump and anybody who wants to vote for him.
Some guy on Fox News yesterday called anyone who voted for Trump that we were all in a toxic trance.
I don't understand it.
I interviewed with Trump for his airline.
I didn't get hired.
But when I interviewed, he came down to the interview process and asked, he was new to the airline.
So he asked everybody, how did your interview go?
What could we do to make the interview process better?
Did we ask the right questions?
What could we ask that we didn't ask?
And then when my friends, who did get hired, went to the airline, they told me that he would go down to the dispatch office and say, how's it going?
What can we do to make it better?
And then when he sold the airline to Delta, I think it was Delta, he took care of his people so that the integration in the seniority list went well.
And that's, you know, usually that doesn't go so well.
So I'm not understanding.
All he wants to do is make things more efficient.
And he wants us to be a prosperous country because we all know that peace is through strength.
So I'm not understanding.
He's just one CEO.
I don't get it.
It's not rational.
I mean, so really I can't, it's become irrational.
It's almost knee-jerk for many people.
You know, I've never met one human being that takes up more space in people's minds than Donald J. Trump.
There's a side of him that I've known way before he ever thought about running for president in any serious way that I wish the American people know.
This is an extremely generous, smart, charming side to Donald J. Trump.
There is a guy that loves life.
He loves to live every minute of every second of every day, and he lives it, and he goes all in.
When he was president, he was all in 24-7.
And I just know that for a fact.
And his policies were great for the country.
What the country sees more often than not, however, you know, and imagine if you had to defend yourself against false charges of Russian collusion for three years while president and never-ending non-stop attacks by your unrelenting mob and the media that just had it in for him from day one.
And so he's always in a defensive posture.
So you don't often get to see the other side of him.
And however, you know, America is going to have a choice.
If it does come down to Donald Trump and it does come down to Joe Biden, you're going to have a guy that doesn't know what day of the week it is, that has failed on every domestic and foreign policy issue imaginable, or Donald Trump,
the guy that was respected by the world, that kept the country safe and secure, and the guy that had policies that benefited us, we, the people, the guy that was looking out for the common man, the forgotten men and women of this country.
Anyway, I appreciate your call.
It's a deep call.
I can't answer completely.
Donna in Maryland next.
Donna, thank you.
Margaret, thank you too.
How are you, Donna?
Hi, Sean.
Doing well.
Thank you.
Your team is excellent as always.
And I just want to say to you, the thing that's fascinating me right now is the exposure that we've all witnessed and now more people have awakened.
But the disclosure phase that I think we're going to go into with all of this law affair, that's going to be interesting.
And the charges had me, I would say, intrigued when you see conspiracy against rights charges.
I think that's very interesting coming from the, as I call them, the quote, original conspiracy theorists, unquote.
I mean, they could have gotten President Trump for seditious conspiracy or insurrection, and they didn't.
And then one last thing I just wanted to say is God bless you, your team, and may the Lord protect President Trump and his family and the Patriots and our America at large.
And thanks so much for having me on.
Appreciate your call.
Check in anytime, Donna, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
David in Texas, the free state of Texas.
What's going on, David?
Yes, sir.
So my question is this.
We've all kind of sat back and watched the media just absolutely hammer Trump relentlessly, you know, from all sides.
And it's, you know, 100% of that is coming from the liberal side of the media.
So why doesn't the Republican media kind of roll up the sleeves and do the same thing?
I think from what I've seen, you're pretty much the only person, well, the only person left at Box that just continually hammers it back.
But, I mean, to me, it should be widespread because once people see it, they're low information.
When they see it on TV, they get the headline.
That's what they believe.
They don't wait around.
And the Democrats have kind of perfected that.
Understand why both sides don't go at it the same way.
I mean, maybe it would even the playing field just a little bit.
Look, it's very simple, is that we have a corrupt, abusively biased media in this country.
They are an extension of all things radical, New Deal, climate alarmists, cultists.
That is who they are.
They're not going to change.
And it's why, for example, this battle over AM radio, there's a great piece in the LA Times this week about that.
They quoted me extensively in it, you know, needs to remain in cars.
And those car manufacturers that are not going along with it, the first person I want to give a call to about this is Elon Musk, because he could make his electric car and keep AM radio in it.
And it's not going to cost him that much money per car to do it.
And this is one venue where people get information they're not going to get elsewhere.
Also, AM programming, you know, is part of the emergency broadcast system.
Also, it's a part of niche programming that serves underserved communities, communities, you know, African-American communities, Hispanic American communities, other nationality communities, and they're doing a great job of it.
So, you know, they want to silence.
Why do you think there's always an effort to shut?
You know, my whole career, they've wanted to fire me and people that monitor every word, every sentence, every phrase that I say in the hope that they can get me fired or boycotted.
So I am basically or ostensibly fired.
I've dealt with it my whole career, and I don't think it's going to stop.
But I'm not going to stop until you, the audience, fires me.
And when that happens, I will say thank you for giving me all this time to be, share with you year in and year out.
It's been the honor of my life.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean on number, you want to be a part of the program.
You know, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they have their all-new Let Us Do Good Village.
It's in Landa Lakes, Florida.
Now, this community will have about 100 homes for the foundation's program participants.
Already two families have moved in, one a Gold Star family, another a family of a severely injured hero who served our nation.
They moved into the community's first smart home.
Now, the Let Us Do Good Village.
It's a really special place where families together can heal a community where the children of our nation's fallen or catastrophically injured heroes can grow up and experience life together.
And it's all because of the extraordinary donation of many acres of land and your donation to build these homes.
And it only happens because of your generosity.
And anyway, it's our hope that there'll be a lot more Let Us Do Good Villages around the country.
Anyway, just donate.
I hope you'll commit, like we have committed here at Team Hannity, $11 a month to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org.
Mark Levin, Lindsey Graham is apoplectic about what happened yesterday with President Trump.
We'll get to him.
Mike Huckabee, Ari Fleischer.
Also, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis tonight.
You might recall in my interview with Gavin Newsom.
Newsome challenged the governor to a debate.
We'll find out what the answer is.
Kevin O'Leary, Emily Campano, and Kaylee McGee White.
State of DVR, Hannity, 9 Eastern News you'll never get from the mob on the Fox News channel.
See you tonight, back here tomorrow.
