Bidenomics, not great.
You have an economy that is still faltering.
The American people know this ain't working the way it should.
But people don't care because they're tired of paying higher prices, and they think the president is at least in part to blame.

How'd you like Linda?
How'd you like last night's debate?
I love being there.
It was fun.
I had a great time.
You look like you were having fun.
I was having a lot of fun.
What I would like to see is you as a moderator.
Uh well, that hopefully happens.
The only problem would have been is only when they booed Chris Christie, you would have been like hyping it up.
It would have been very awkward, it would have been very clear.
No, I would have let the booing go on.
I would not have said I said you would have been hyping it up.
Um like, you know, I I hate the fact I I I first of all I thought I thought that the debate, the pacing, the questions would were really good.
Uh the exchanges I felt were good.
I thought everybody gotta say.
I know there was a lot of controversy about, well, should Donald Trump be there or not be there.
You know, it's kind of typical.
If you got a 40 40 plus point lead that you're the quote incumbent in the race, and you gotta kind of prove your worthiness.
But more importantly, if you're one of the other candidates, how much airtime are you getting?
Especially in light of one indictment after another indictment.
Tonight we have the other arraignment, this time in Fulton County, and that's gonna be televised, you know, and the media is gonna try and turn it into a circus and a complete Adam Schiff show.
And and so it's gonna be what it's gonna be.
I did Chris Christie was booed a couple of times during this debate.
Well, one of the great things about our country is you get to boo me.
I mean, that's yeah, I'm sure that's what he's really feeling.
Listen.
Former New Jersey governor, Chris Christie.
South Carolina Senator 10 stock.
This is the great thing about this country.
Booing is allowed.
Jeez, but it doesn't change the truth.
It doesn't change the truth.
Mr. Rodman Swami, yeah, you raise your hand.
You sit here in an answer.
You sit here in an answer.
Right?
I don't want to.
You sit here and answer.
Go ahead, Governor Christie.
Hold on, Governor Christy.
Well, so listen, the more time we spend doing this, the less time they can talk about issues you want to talk about.
So let's just get through this section.
I don't know.
Like, so uh when we do the Hannity Audience Show of Fox, you know, you know, the producers will go through this whole list of rules, and then I come out, you know, 15 minutes before the show.
I like to meet people and you know, I do my little silly stand-up stuff and tell some jokes and we have fun and I throw footballs around.
And I always end it with, by the way, did this guy over here tell you there's a bunch of rules you can't, you can't, you can't do this or that.
I said, No, I believe in freedom.
I don't care what you do.
You can hiss, you can clap, you can boo.
I I just don't care.
And my attitude is if that's how you feel, express yourself.
What do I care?
I think it actually adds to the flavor of a debate.
Uh it was a beautiful venue.
Great, great crowds.
That's good for sure.
Yeah, I mean, so it's a lot of fun.
Um look, the big the one big takeaway for me, and when you stand back and you'll just look at all these candidates, uh, granted, Donald Trump wasn't there.
No kidding.
We got it.
If you're a candidate and you're like complaining or criticizing Trump for not being there and not showing up, I'm thinking you should be grateful he didn't show up because all the attention would have gone to him.
It would have been drawn onto him, and every candidate would want to take the shots at him.
You know, especially, you know, Chris Christie and Asa.
I mean, Chris Christie's candidacy to me is a joke.
Um, he spends half his time back more than half.
I mean, almost every interview is all over.
He's the media darling now because he's the Republican that does all their dirty work.
Why he's not nice.
He is not a nice person.
I don't care if he's nice or not.
I'm not looking for nice.
But look at the way he treats if if you say one this is my opinion.
As a as a person who's running for president, you gotta have a little bit more of a thicker skin.
You can't ask him anything.
If it's and for him to say that's a beautiful thing about America, you can boo.
Meanwhile, Carrie Pickett last week asked him a question.
He gets old.
Remember, we played that.
Oh, I don't like that.
I don't like that you asked me that question.
Oh, boo-hoo, you're gonna be a great candidate.
Can you break it?
So the big takeaway for me is they they all are so much better than Joe Biden.
And Joe Biden is not capable, and we saw this in Maui last week of debating articulately with uh any level of passion.
You know, it was not an accident yesterday when they were asked, well, Donald Trump's the nominee, would you debate him?
Oh, we haven't even thought about it.
Yes, they thought about it.
They they know how could you watch him last week?
Look, I'm not a medical expert, but I'm just giving you observations.
And I watched Joe Biden, and this guy is deteriorating before our every eyes.
It's sort of like a little thing.
I, you know, God only knows the shape this guy's gonna be in by November of 2024.
He is not doing well.
You know, one of the things about any type of cognitive decline, Alzheimer's, dementia, whatever you have, whatever you want to call it, it's it is a progressive disease.
It gets worse as time goes on.
And I don't care whatever medical treatments they might be giving him behind the scenes, it's only gonna take him so far.
You know, he he had two vacations.
He goes to Maui, and it was an unmitigated disaster, which we played yesterday.
But, you know, even on like everyone in one sense, and if you ask me who I think had the best night, um, I'd say Vivek Ramaswamy is up there.
I'd say Ron DeSantis, who'd been under heavy, heavy fire uh for the state of his campaign.
I thought he had a really good night.
I thought he came out of the box strong.
Laura Ingram actually saw the same thing I did.
He she felt he got stronger as the night went on.
Um in her own way, I thought Nikki Haley had a pretty strong night.
Um I don't think it's Tim Scott's strength, you know, to but to be a flashy debater.
However, if you listen substantively, I liked a lot of what he had to say.
Uh I did love the exchanges with with Mike Pence and Vivek Ramaswamy.
We'll get to that later in the program.
But it's certain things that they said.
Let me give you an example.
I'll play some examples from any of the candidates.
Like Tim Scott, I'm gonna fire Merrick Garland and Christopher Ray if I'm elected president.
Now, this is deep and profound because he's acknowledging that this country does not have equal justice and equal application of our laws.
I am glad that he said it.
Play it.
We should be asking ourselves a bigger question about the weaponization of the Department of Justice.
When I'm president, the first thing I'll do is fire Merrick Garland.
Secondly, I'll do fire Christopher Ray.
Because we need Lady Justice to wear a blindfold.
Without that, no one has confidence in our justice system.
17% of Republicans have confidence in our Department of Justice.
Here's why.
We keep seeing not only the weaponization of the Department of Justice against political opponents, but also against parents who show up at school board meetings.
They're called under this deal Jay.
They're called domestic terrorists.
So the substance of what he's saying now he he I just happen to know him.
The guy has a heart of gold.
I mean he is this is a good soul here.
This is a good guy.
Um then you move on I in the opening statement of Governor DeSantis I really liked it.
Our nation is in decline and and it was interesting to me.
I thought he was going to be the main target which in Trump's Trump's uh absence it didn't really unfold that way.
And I thought it was a good strategy for him to keep his focus on Biden and not his, you know, the the other candidates and and here's one example of it saying our nation our nation is in decline and here's how he handled it.
Our country is in decline.
This decline is not inevitable.
It's a choice we need to send Joe Biden back to his basement and reverse American decline.
And it starts with understanding we must reverse Bidenomics so that middle class families have a chance to succeed again.
We cannot succeed as a country if you are working hard and you can't afford groceries, a car, or a new home while Hunter Biden can make hundreds of thousands of dollars on lousy paintings.
That is wrong.
We also cannot succeed when the Congress spends trillions and trillions of dollars those rich men north of Richmond have put us in this situation and finally we need to lower your gas prices.
We're going to open up all energy production we will be energy dominant again in this country I showed it could be done in the state of Florida.
I pledge to you as your president we will get the job done and I will not let you down.
That was a powerful open that was the first question in the debate I thought he gave a great answer uh on his side.
Now I also liked when Nikki Haley rightly called out Republicans for spending eight trillion dollars.
Now some of it you you have to allow some slack for some of the monies about COVID.
You just have to the worst pandemic in a hundred years nobody knew what the hell although Linda thinks she knew from day one what the hell that we were dealing with but no you're not allowed I'm all I'm saying you're not allowed to talk on this topic.
You're out of your mind.
I think the audience agrees with me.
Okay.
Uh no I don't think they do but that's a different story.
Anyway but she was right to call out Republicans.
We call out Republicans they've got for example a budget deadline of September 30th and they better be ready to take a stand on spending they better and and Ronnie Jackson said you know a shot across Kevin McCarthy's bow don't do what you did last time and you better have your caucus behind you.
That means when he's in a room with Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer and uh Hakeem uh Jeffries that he better hammer he he needs to say to them I'll take your proposal back to my caucus or he could say right there my caucus will never approve that or go along with that.
Anyway here's Haley calling him out on on the reckless spending this is Republicans.
Well I don't care about polls what I care about the fact is that no one is telling the American people the truth the truth is that Biden didn't do this to us.
Our Republicans did this to us too when they passed that 2.2 trillion dollar COVID stimulus bill they left us with 90 million people on Medicaid 42 million people on food stamps.
No one has told you how to fix it.
I'll tell you how to fix it.
They need to stop the spending they need to stop the borrowing they need to eliminate the earmarks that Republicans brought back in and they need to make sure they understand these are taxpayer dollars it's not their dollars.
And while they're all saying this you have Ron DeSantis you've got Tim Scott you've got Mike Pence they all voted to raise the debt and Donald Trump added eight trillion to our debt and our kids are never going to forgive us for this.
And so at the end of the day you look at the 2024 budget Republicans asked for 7.4 billion in earmarks Democrats asked for 2.8 billion.
So you tell me who are the big spenders I think it's time for an accountant in the White House.
All right I thought that was a really good moment for her there were a couple of good exchanges.
I'll save this for later.
Uh uh uh Vivek Ramaswamy telling Pence that it's not morning in America.
We live in a dark moment, and Pence telling Vivek that it's not uh time for on-the-job training, and we don't need a rookie.
So we had a couple of fun exchanges there, too.
I'll I do odd lie if I say I didn't like when people fight.
Uh, because I I want to see it back and forth.
Um, but let me let me let me go to this this other moment, which I think, you know, really resonated.
And this is Pence and Ramaswamy.
Well, I tell you, I'm I'm looking at the clock.
I can't do it here.
Let me do it on the other side and uh into the next half hour, and then we'll get your calls in today.
We'll get analysis from our posters.
You know, Matt Towery, insider advantage was sending me information in real time last night, just doing analytics, courtesy of artificial intelligence on, you know, who are people were paying the most attention to.
And it's the three that I mentioned.
It was Ramaswamy and DeSantis and Nikki Haley.
Um, which by the way, pretty much every poll shows that you know they were the top top three in this debate.
Hey there.

There are a lot of good exchanges between Mike Pence and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Uh here's one over Ukraine and Russia.
Let's play that one.
Vivek, if we do the giveaway that you want to give to Putin to give him his land, it's not going to be too long for he rolls across a NATO border.
And frankly, our men and women of our armed forces are going to have to go and fight him.
I want to let the Ukrainians fight and drive Putin and the Russians back out into Russia.
I would have just marked for the Vice President Pence.
I have a news flash.
The USSR does not exist anymore.
It fell back in 1990.
Did I say you talked about the communists and the real communists that we have to address right now?
You already spoke.
Now I actually have supplements.
You've moved vice president.
I insulted him by calling him a communist.
He is a dictator and a murderer.
And the United States of America needs to stand against authoritarianism.
The real threat we face today is communist China.
And we are driving Russia further into China's arms.
The Russia-China military alliance is the single greatest threat we face.
Nobody in either political party is talking about it.
And I am the only non-MeoCon on this stage.
But we'll keep us out of war.
We can't hear Mr. Vice President to give Russia God.
Mr. Vice President.
Give him a promise that Ukraine will never be in NATO.
And then somehow China will not think about taking Taiwan.
We achieve peace through strength.
Mr. Vice needs to stand for freedom.
I thought that was a great exchange.
I love a good verbal sparring, don't you?
You know, Barry Farber used to say, two scorpions and a brandy glass.
We'll continue.
Didn't the IRS scandal and the NSA atrocities convince you?
You need a watchdog on Washington with insider sources.
You need Hannity every day.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Toll for your numbers 800 941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
Matt Tower, Insider Adventure Advantage was doing something pretty interesting and amazing last night and using artificial intelligence.
If you've not played around with chat GPT, Linda, have you played around with it at all?
I don't think that I would call it playing.
I hate it, but I know what it does.
Why would you hate it?
I love Ted.
I hate anything that takes away the humanity.
We got very little left.
I love artificial predictions, intelligence uh predictions that, oh yeah, we're gonna be smarter than you and be able to defeat you and destroy you.
In time scary.
Uh that that talk about a uh uh really surreal world.
I'm with you.
It scares it.
It's kind of crazy.

No, they'll they'll send me like click on this.

See, that was a 40 and slip because you're locked out.
I'm locked out.
We locked you out a long time ago.
Um, that's enough.
No more.
You cut off.
Uh, so the Joe Biden bribery and money laundering scandal uh allegations continue.
Uh, you know, for a guy that claims to know having known nothing about his son's business dealings, never spoke to him, his brother or anybody for that matter, Joe Biden sure spent a lot of time chauffeuring Hunter around the globe so he could drum up new business.
You know, here's a question.
And we now learned it came up that in the week where the cocaine was in the White House, there was a report yesterday or the day before that during that time Hunter Biden was in the White House.
And I know this has got to be a stretch.
I mean, why why would you think that somebody that has been admitted as an addict since what, 2001 or 2003?
All the way through 2001.
That is severe Addiction.
That is not, I mean, that's like you're lucky to be a live addiction.
Uh, because if you were able to survive that long and knowing, you know, the dangers, something like crack cocaine, wow.
Uh don't forget his daughter is an addict as well and speaks all over the country about it.
Okay, so this is this is not just him.
I mean, something happened in this family where these children have come out of the house.
I don't want to sound cold like this.
I don't want to sound cold hearted.
Addiction, you know, I've there are people in my extended family that have had addiction issues.
And, you know, I usually, you know, if it's if it's somebody that I really know, I will offer people, I will offer to give them help.
But I am very clear, I'm giving you one shot at this.
Are you offering to help Hunter?
No.
They're involved.
Well, his father sent him at one point twenty or thirty thousand bucks, like probably it was Hunter's money to begin with, but you know, uh, to go to Rehab and apparently spent it on other things.
But he was apparently there during that time period, but they couldn't figure out.
Our our Secret Service, our law enforcement couldn't figure out, they couldn't pinpoint after a long, long-day investigation, you know, who the culprit was that brought cocaine into Joe Biden's White House.
Unreal.
Now, here's the other point.
So at a time when he's, you know, in the in the throes of of this addiction, that's when all these deals took place.
Uh, I could only imagine what these other countries, you know, were able to pick up intel-wise as it relates to Hunter Biden.
You know, yet one has to wonder when he was on Air Force Two.
Did he have drugs with him?
You know, did he take him on the plane with him?
Wouldn't be so far-fetched to believe so, but for a guy that knows nothing about his son's business deals, Joe did spend a lot of time chauffeuring Hunter around the globe.
Uh, and uh on a lot of these trips that this is when he was drumming up new business.
It was Peter Schweitzer that told us when he took his trip to Asia, which included a stop in China, it was in the next week or two or week and a half that they did the deal with the Bank of China, the billion-dollar deal that later became a billion five dollar deal.
And we found no evidence at all of any experience that Hunter had short of being on a board at Amtrak and a board on the U.S. Hunger, you know, committee, and and he's a lawyer.
Okay, that hardly qualifies you over Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, uh JP Morgan Chase as the company that you would think China would rather be in business with.
No, they they invested in Hunter, but he traveled to at least 13 countries with his then vice president father when he was leading the now defunct Rosemont Seneca partners and voody uh uh video footage, which uh has now come out along with Secret Service records and and messages previously reported from Hunter's abandoned laptop now show that Hunter accompanied his father during these official trips to Europe,
Africa, Asia, Mexico.
Okay, we know he was doing deals uh with a lot of countries from these continents.
In April of 2010, Hunter proposed meeting state officials in Serbia with his business associate Mark Doyle, who was a registered foreign agent for Serbia at the time, saying that he catch a ride with his father, JRB.
That was one of the pseudonym emails that Joe was using to get around the you know, sunshine laws that our government has.
Anyway, how about we go around May 10th, Hunter wrote in an email to Doyle?
JRB, in other words, Pops, will be in Madrid, and I can catch a ride with him and fly over to Serbia and back with you.
Eric Schn of Rosemont uh Seneca replied to Hunter and Doyle explaining that Hunter would like to try and get to Serbia right after going to Madrid with his dad, and that while he didn't have a specific investment opportunity to pitch, he was hoping to talk in general about Rosemon Seneca and investment opportunities.
Oh.
The meeting apparently fell through after Hunter uh anyway, in an email on April 29, 2010, that there had been a change in schedule of my other travel in Europe.
Few days later, Sherwin suggested in An email to Hunter that he speak with a potential client in Spain during his time there with his father, though it's not clear if that discussion ended up taking place.
Unreal.
You know, but you think of everything that we now know and everything that Joe said and all the evidence for the for those people in the media.
See, this what James Comer put out in his third memo did not show that Hunter that Joe Biden benefited in any way.
No, because the emails to Sherwin confirmed just the opposite.
That they were paying off Pops' home repair bills.
And they were just wondering and discussing which account they ought to take the money out of, which goes to the heart of the shell corporations, which goes to the heart of the nine Biden family members according to Comer.
I mean, that's a lot of family members.
By the way, Joe Manchin is I I'm beginning to think now that this no labels group is is thinking about running a third party candidate.
Uh anyway, he's accusing Biden of cowtowing to environmentalists.
Well, you know, with all due respect to Joe Manchin, and and I've I've I've talked to Joe Manchin.
I kind of like the guy.
He's a West Virginia, he's kind of down to earth, cares about the people of West Virginia, that I believe.
But he got suckered by Joe and Chuck Schumer.
And when he went along with the idiotic inflation reduction act that instinctively didn't want any part of, but they offered him really good incentives for his state, and his job is to serve the people that of of West Virginia.
And anyway, they negotiated a deal with environmental groups to stop gas and oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico to protect uh rice's whales and endangered species.
The oil and gas journal reported.
The news was not met well by Manchin, who derided the move as jeopardizing energy security.
We've already jeopardized it in numerous ways.
Why?
We now are importing oil from Venezuela and even Iran and OPEC and Saudi Arabia.
And now OPEC keeps, you know, with their new alliance with China and Russia and Iran, uh, they're now limiting the production and the output.
Well, that reduces the world supply.
That raises the cost of uh uh a barrel of oil, which means that you're now up to paying four bucks on average a gallon for gasoline again.
Great job, Joe.
Biden Democratic uh campaign co-chair declared the president's the Democratic nominee.
Uh they haven't cast a vote yet.
Not one.
And I I truly believe that there are Democrats scheming, they are plotting, they are planning, they are hoping, they're praying that this scandal blows up.
You know, this is not the first time Democrats have reached out to me and urged me to keep doing the good work that I'm doing every day when I'm doing investigative work.
Uh remember when it happened with Hillary?
Remember that?
Remember when the when the Clinton people were very happy with me, very cooperative when I was doing a deep dive.
And I forget who at the time.
How weak is that?
I mean, these people are so weak, they're so scared to step in front and say something.
I'm so sick of this is like a generation of the feckless.
They don't they not a one of them I like that line.
Generation of the feckless.
Yeah, it's a generation of the feckless.
They don't know what they're doing, they don't know where they're going until somebody tells them.
It's actually super depressing that if you're that convicted about how screwed up something is, you're waiting for somebody else to jump in first because you don't want to be the first one.
It's time to put some skin in the game and knock it off.
You know what?
Manchin's has his time.
As far as I'm done, see him, Manchin.
Bye, Joe.
You can go hang out with Biden as far as I'm concerned.
Kevin McCarthy said uh uh yesterday that his chamber now maybe may be looking into the delay of these deadly wire wildfires, which I think they should do.
I mean, the the federal response and the state response was a disgrace.
They didn't have their early warning system uh uh triggered.
They waited a whopping five hours because of concerns over supplying the the firemen, uh the water necessary because of environmental reasons.
By the way, this is now becoming more real every day.
Now we have more corporations and more schools bringing back mask mandate and COVID protocols.
Wow.
Lockdown 2.0, social distancing, ban on large gatherings, isolation, quarantines, and accordance with CDC guidelines, contact tracing, system uh monitoring, regular hand washing, sanitation, and yes, mandatory mask mandates.
I I, you know, as much as I like the anonymity of wearing a mask, I kind of like that.
I will never wear a face diaper for the rest of my life.
They can take their face diaper and put them up their ass where they belong.
A face diaper.
You're welcome.
Oh man.
Never, never.
So I had a very close person to me in my life.
Uh, you know, a family member who had COVID.
Okay.
Throwing up, puking up.
I had no mask.
I'm like, I'm dead.
I'm like, you know, COVID.
I did not think that.
I'm well, no, meaning I was gonna get it.
And at that moment, nope.
Didn't get it.
I mean, literally puking, you know, in a bucket I'm holding.
You know.
And I didn't, you know, at that point, nope.
Could have been food poisoning, could have been the flu.
It would have been a cold.
Linda.
What?
What's called the uh a PCR test.
Oh, you're the rapid test.
The PCR tests that were redacted from the government that are no longer issued in those.
All right.
Certain topics you're banned from.
Close your mic.
Uh-huh.
My gosh.
Uh-huh.
The Wagner group were uh vowing retaliation for the murder of Burgoshin.
Uh, although there's there was a report on fake news CNN saying they're not sure if it was really him that's dead.
I'd be shocked if it wasn't him.
Netherlands announcing announcing they won't send Ukraine any F 16 until the end of 2024.
Okay.
You know what that means?
That means that Europe is not serious about winning the war.
Stop wasting U.S. tax dollars.
If that's your attitude and you don't fight to win the war, why are you wasting our time and our money?
Why don't you give the money to Americans that are in need, veterans that are homeless, uh the people of Maui that desperately need help right now.
How about, you know, we we move into an era where you know we actually help Americans first.
By the way, there's a big piece written about it quoted you and me, quoted this radio show when I said I'm not going to waste time on Chris Christie.
It was on media, you know.
What did I say?
Let me see.
Let me see what you said.
I'm sure it was very delicate if it's about Chris Christie.
Hannity told his producer, Linda McLaughlin, he refuses to consider wasting time on Christie or Asa Hutchinson.
Uh I do the I'm not I'm not putting on all the candidates.
I'm not wasting time on Chris Christie.
He's not a candidate.
He's, you know, I call Chris Christie a liberal media mob darling because all he basically does is spend all of his time in every interview bashing Trump, and they love him for that.
They love when a Republican does their dirty work, and Chris Christie will never be president.
Let me be very clear.
Sounds pretty accurate.
Chris Christie will never be president.
800 941 Sean.
