	But look at what he's gotten done.

	All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
	Right down on Toll Free number.
	We'd love to hear from you today.
	It's 800-941.
	If you want to be a part of the program, I don't know who who did this on Twitter, and I'm not trying to steal your stuff.
	Ever notice if you don't I Jay Sweet Baby James finds this stuff because I don't have access to any of these social media accounts.
	I gave that up a couple of years ago now.
	And thankfully I did, consuming way too much of my time.
	But anyway, this is pretty so whoever wrote this on Twitter, I I want to give you attribution.
	I can't, because I don't know who you are.
	But anyway, or X. If I supposed to say X or Twitter, or everybody knows the difference.
	You know, the artist formally known as the social media platform, formally known as Twitter, it drives me nuts.
	Why can't you just keep your name the way it is and leave me alone?
	And I have to memorize another name.
	Uh, you're not laughing.
	I think that's funny.
	I am laughing.
	I just totally agree with you.
	I mean, I I love Elon.
	I love a lot of what he's doing.
	I don't trust him a hundred percent.
	I'm not exactly sure what the end goal is, but Twitter is well known.
	Yeah, Elon.
	I don't, you know, we're on a first name basis, Sean.
	It's okay.
	Okay, let me tell you about Elon.
	This is what I'll give you my take on him, as long as you're going there.
	My take is uh I think you've got a really brilliant guy.
	And like a lot of brilliant people, I think kind of like the blessing curse, blessing curse type of thing.
	And in some ways you can even say this about President Trump.
	He fights, he fights, he fights, and you kind of wish, all right, maybe the switch would go off every once in a while, and you go play golf and not fight for a while.
	Um, but when uh he's fighting to secure our borders and fighting for energy independence and fighting for free and fair trade deals and fighting for supreme court justices and and you know, fighting against hostile regimes uh and putting the fear of God into them.
	I kind of like that guy that's fighting.
	Um, but you know, and I think there's an expectation that people like that can just turn the switch off, and I'm like, no, it's it doesn't usually work that way.
	And I kind of look at Elon as in this in this, he's got this other layer of intelligence that the average person doesn't have.
	You know, I think he's a real modern-day innovator um and risk taker, and I like all of that about him.
	And on the other hand, he's a little quirky.
	I mean, what else can you say?
	I would I mean, I would say he's definitely a lot quirky, but the thing that I feel The strongest about X or Twitter or whatever you want to call it when Jack Storsey was CEO, he was very clearly a liberal.
	There was no question.
	But the issue was with Jack was that the algorithm had been modified by the people that were working under him.
	And I don't think that Elon, although he has done a really nice, you know, uh pivot and has gotten rid of a lot of those people, there's still some there.
	And I think there's a lot of work to be done.
	He's definitely trying, and I give him credit for that.
	And um, you know, I mean, I I think these guys that think that you know come up with stuff like SpaceX, I just like the visionary of those people.
	Like, for example, how many how many of our fellow talk show hosts, people that we like?
	I'll use Neil Bortz as an example.
	And and uh Bortz, I love him.
	I absolutely love the guy.
	He made me a better host because I had to compete against him and go up against him, and I knew how great he was at his job that I it pushed me to get better.
	And and I'm I'm actually grateful for that, even though you know we became very friendly even when we were competitors.
	But and he's been retired for a while, but he's like Mensah.
	He's got a he's got a certain genius about him that a gift that a lot of people don't have.
	And but on the other hand, uh in public, the guy was like socially awkward and shy and demure and on the air, he's like this big overwhelming presence.
	There are a ton of talk show hosts that are like that.
	I meet people, I'm like animated, I'm happy to meet everybody.
	Not everybody in this business is like that.
	Comedians are notorious for this.
	You know, they are they are on stage and they are just crushing it.
	They are the life of the party.
	You see them at a real party or in a real social situation, they're like sitting in a corner, quiet, uh awkward, don't want to meet, talk to people.
	It's just it's strange, right?
	But it's fairly common.
	Blessing.
	It is actually very common.
	You're you're a very weird exception, but I think that's because you started out being a bartender and working in in service and dealing with people, so you just kind of use that to further your craft.
	I just don't have the special gifts that you know some of these more genius people have.
	That's true.
	I recognize it in other people, though.
	Well, I'm I mean, you're not building SpaceX or anything, but I mean, I think you've done all right, you know.
	I think we've done all right.
	We've been very blessed, an undeserved life for sure.
	Anyway, so this person on Twitter, whoever you are, please know I'm not stealing your crap.
	And if I find out who you are, I'll be glad to give you attribution.
	And it was the top ten headlines the mob in the media won't won't tell you about this week.
	And then it just says re post and follow more.
	That's all I see.
	Anyway, 10.
	CIA paid off analysts to say COVID didn't are uh originate in Wuhan lab.
	Now we did cover that story, and we need to get to the bottom of that, because if it's true, that is outrageous.
	Nine, California Senate approves $300 weekly checks for unemployed illegal immigrants.
	I didn't why did I not see that one?
	Uh I can't read number eight, so sorry, whatever sweet.
	Oh, wait a minute, I can.
	Maui residents say the government is working on I'm really looking hard here because this did not print out well at something that the area they're trying to label the air a natural disaster area in order to take their land.
	By the way, that's scary.
	And what I've heard and what I've read is that apparently, you know, a lot of you know, people opportunists, and I'm all in favor of making good, you know, real estate deals and good investments.
	But if you think I'd ever go into Maui uh on the heels of people having their homes, you know, uprooted, disrupted, and and their homes burned to the ground and their lives ended that way and hope for a good deal on their property.
	I I my conscience forbids me from doing that.
	I'll just to jump in on that.
	Maui residents say that the government is working on deeming their area a natural disaster.
	Okay, that's what they're saying.
	Natural disaster.
	Why hasn't it happened?
	That's stupid.
	We know that Senator Warren is speaking of Elon Musk, is threatened to investigate him for following government orders and not providing Starlink to Crimea, avoiding escalating war.
	Um I really you know, I I've looked at this very, very closely.
	Um we're gonna have Sean Penn back on the program.
	Uh he put out this documentary.
	I watched it.
	I don't care what position you have on the Ukrainian battle.
	I think I think this country needs to stay out of it.
	Uh now that they're trying to pay 500 million dollars in in green energy projects in Ukraine, it makes my blood boil.
	It drives me insane.
	Uh Europe has not stepped up to protect their own continent, and they just figure America's gonna fill the void, and Joe's been writing check after check after check, and uh And this is a guy that vetoed uh the Poland from giving fighter jets early on in the conflict, right away, telling and signaling that he's not in the war to win the war, so don't waste our time and don't waste our money.
	And unless Europe's willing to fight for their own continent, we shouldn't put another penny in there.
	And then the level of corruption has gotten worse and worse.
	We see you know, all these people around Zelensky.
	I happen to think Zelensky, I have no indication that he's been corrupt, but I will tell you when you have people around you stealing other countries' money.
	Uh I mean it infuriates me.
	And by the way, some of their greatest success has been done on the cheap, and that's the drones uh uh that have been striking inside of Russia and Moscow, hitting military targets and and political targets.
	That that's been highly effective.
	But this is Europe's problem.
	And if you don't fight wars to win wars, stay out of them.
	Because it happens all the time.
	We they start a war in Washington, they're all gung-ho, then they start politicizing the war, and public support for the war wanes, and then we say, never mind.
	After our national treasure, our sons and daughters go and fight these wars that they start and have no intention of ever winning.
	I'm sick of it.
	It's a waste of our time and money.
	Stop it.
	Anyway, six uh election software was uh contracts hidden, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Where am I?
	Number five, federal judge declares Biden's program for undocumented immigrants illegal.
	Yeah, we hit that.
	Hunter Biden indicted on gun charges after the sweetheart deal, we hit that.
	Uh, what are some of the other ones?
	Pennsylvania judge granting presidential immunity for President Trump to address integrity of election without liability.
	I didn't see that one.
	Anyway.
	Uh Joe Biden is out lying again.
	I just can't believe this.
	Now he's telling rabbis, and I'm not making this up.
	We have the tape, we'll play it later in the program.
	Now he's actually telling rabbis that he was raised in the synagogues.
	Didn't he say that he he grew up in a mostly in an area that was heavily populated by people from Puerto Rico?
	Now he's now he's saying this.
	There's something wrong.
	I I was, you might say, raised in the synagogues of my state.
	I'm not kidding.
	I'm not.
	You think I'm kidding?
	I'm not kidding.
	What is wrong with this guy in the never-ending lies?
	He you know got caught earlier in the week saying that he taught political theory at the University of Pennsylvania.
	He never taught a single class there.
	It's pretty unreal.
	Um one of the things we're going to get into later, we have two Freedom Caucus members that are going to be joining us, and that is the internal strife within the Republican Party.
	Today's September 15th, 15 days from now, is the budget deadline where the, you know, the full faith and power of the federal government and credibility of the federal government is on the line because they've not gone forward and finished their appropriations bills.
	And, you know, Mitch McConnell just wants to roll over in the Senate and just pass a continuing resolution.
	Uh Republicans, as conservatives in the House, they're demanding no, uh, we're not going to give a short-term CR unless we get some type of concession.
	Specifically, what they're looking for are to secure the border that Joe Biden is allowed to stay wide open.
	And, you know, if this comes to a government shutdown, I don't really give a rip.
	Because essential services, in spite of all their fear mongering, they remain up and running.
	The military will be on alert.
	They will be fully funded.
	Social Security checks will go out to the elderly.
	Medicare will be up and running.
	There'll be a lot of federal employees that are furloughed, but the way this always ends is that they get back pay in a free vacation.
	I'm not that sympathetic towards the bureaucrats.
	Sorry.
	So this is going to be the big big challenge, and it's going to be a very telling two weeks for the Republicans In Washington, uh big fight yesterday with Kevin McCarthy and Matt Gates kind of leading the other side of this, you know, threatening a motion to vacate.
	Remember that was a big deal when they were voting McCarthy in to be Speaker of the House in the 15 or whatever how many votes.
	And anyway, McCarthy got pissed off.
	He said if you want to file a motion to vacate, then file the FM motion.
	And, you know, so we'll see how this this works out.
	I have to have talked to other members uh behind the scenes.
	They they did say that yesterday they're making some progress.
	The problem McCarthy has is he's got a slim four seat majority.
	It's not an enviable position for him to be in.
	It's not like he has a 25-seat margin where he's got a cushion.
	There's no cushion here.
	You know, the reason that he had to, you know, go forward without a vote on the impeachment inquiry is sadly, pathetically, frankly, you, in spite of all the evidence that we have put together and spelled out to you so often on this program.
	There are Republicans that that don't want the impeachment inquiry that wouldn't vote for the impeachment inquiry.
	So McCarthy just did it unilaterally because it needed to be done, and he laid out the case perfectly as to why it needed to be done.
	Uh so I think Republicans are gonna demand some type of spending concessions uh before they even agree to a continuing resolution.
	My prediction is this time I think we're gonna see a government shutdown.
	There's gonna be the typical finger pointing that goes along.
	There'll be the fear-mongering that's also predictable that that comes along with it.
	And you know, don't worry, the elderly will get their social security checks, Medicare payments will go out, our military's up protecting the country, and people that end up being furloughed, they're gonna end up with a free vacation, because that's how it pretty much always lies, uh always ends.
	By the way, another Biden gaff, you know, he channeled his old segregationist past while addressing Maryland College.
	You know, this is the guy that once bragged that Delaware, my state was a slave state.
	This is poor the guy that said poor kids can be just as smart as white kids.
	Wow.
	This is a guy that partnered with the former clansman against integration of public schools, Robert Byrd in the 70s, he's to stop the integration of schools because he didn't want public schools becoming racial jungles.
	You know, Biden is anyway, given this speech touting the economy at Prince George's community college in Maryland.
	We've seen record lows in unemployment, particularly, and I'm focused on this my whole career, particularly for African Americans, Hispanic uh uh workers and veterans, you know, the workers without high school diplomas.
	I'm like, really?
	That that that sounds almost as bad as poor kids can't be just as smart as white kids.
	This guy is so messed up.
	By the way, could you imagine a Republican that didn't want integration of public schools ever becoming president?
	Why did Democrats forgive that?
	800-941 Sean, our number, you want to be a part of the program.
	Hey there.
	I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.

	25 to the top of the hour.
	Happy Friday.
	Thank you for being with us.
	800 941 Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
	All right, the next two weeks for the Republicans.
	I mean, they got a very small majority of four, not a lot of wiggle room.
	You have varying diverse factions within the Republican Party in the House, everywhere from the Freedom Caucus to the Tuesday group to the study group to the moderate wing.
	I mean, it's it's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out.
	I mean, they've got to thread one needle after another.
	The one thing I will tell Republicans is you're going to succeed together or you're going to fail together.
	You won't succeed if you're not accomplishing the promises that pretty much all of you ran on.
	And that's what I would focus on.
	You want to get re-elected, the best way to get re-elected is to keep the promises you made the last time.
	We have some breaking news, just the news.com, editor-in-chief John Solomon at it again.
	You're not going to believe.
	So the DOJ has now blocked the FBI agents' Hill testimony on a and we expect Merrick Garland will be the before the Judiciary Committee next week, but the DOJ blocks the FBI Agents Hill testimony on alleged suppression of Hunter Biden laptop story report.
	Now this is an amazing timeline because we know that in December of 2019, the FBI had a copy of Hunter Biden's laptop.
	We know they authenticated that.
	And that was in the early by March of 2020.
	They authenticated the laptop from hell.
	Yeah, that's Hunter's laptop.
	Not that hard to figure out.
	There's pictures of them all over the place.
	And then just look at the email accounts.
	I mean, this wasn't made up, but that was known from the very beginning, but it's the suppression of it and what impact it had on the 2020 race and the FBI's role in that.
	In other words, in the months leading up to the 2020 election, we now know that the FBI had a team of people meeting weekly with big tech companies for the purpose of warning them that they may be victims of a misinformation campaign.
	And that misinformation campaign, and this came out in the Missouri trial that was just upheld by the Fifth Circuit.
	This is the one that uh Senator uh what's his name?
	Eric Schmidt put together, who's then the attorney general who brought the case.
	Remember, they they actually interviewed the former integrity site head at Twitter, a guy by the name of Yo Roth.
	I've no idea who that is, but that person said, Yeah, they told us that the misinformation may be about Joe or Hunter Biden.
	Whoa, lo and behold.
	And then we now know, and we have learned that both Twitter and Facebook reached out to the FBI when the story broke in the New York Post in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, the story about Hunter Biden's laptop from hell.
	And they were asked whether or not this is the misinformation you were warning us about.
	The FBI wouldn't comment on it.
	Which this is them putting, you know, cement blocks on the scales of a presidential election, yet again, like they did in 2016 by exonerating Hillary of top secret classified information on multiple servers, you know, even infiltrated by some hostile regimes of the United States, and then the leading 33,000 subedit emails.
	They they totally covered for her.
	And then they used the dirty dossier, the Russian disinformation dossier that she paid for as the foundational material.
	They wouldn't have gotten the Pfizer warrant approved but for the dirty Russian dossier that Hillary paid for.
	They got four warrants lying to a FISA court.
	As it turned out, according to John Durham, none of it was verifiable.
	All of it was garbage.
	It's all been debunked.
	Then we spent three years as a country being lied to and being peddled conspiracy theories by the mob and the media.
	Anyway, back to this just news.com piece, an FBI agent who allegedly lied about big tech's involvement in the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story was blocked by the Justice Department from even giving congressional testimony today, according to this new report.
	the agent Elvis Chan reportedly volunteered voluntarily agreed to appear before the House Judiciary Committee, represented by his own personal counsel to testify.
	This was in the Daily Mail.
	Agency witnesses are allowed only to bring either agency counsel or personnel counsel to committee interviews.
	They reportedly cannot bring both because the rules allows the agency witnesses to be more candid in testimony with no fear of professional retribution.
	Anyway, so the mail reports that the department halted the testimony because agency counsel also showed up Friday morning before the committee, and due to the circumstances, Chan's scheduled interview did not take place.
	Well, Merrick Garland maybe can answer these questions next week when he shows up.
	This is going to be an interesting you know what it's going to be, it's not going to be interesting.
	Because all Merrick Garland's going to do is sit there with his prepared answers and his noncommittal responses.
	And it's just going to be, you know, as you know, Congressman, I cannot uh discuss uh issues involving an ongoing investigation.
	That's what you're going to hear a lot of next week, and it'll be frustrating as hell.
	According to the outlet, the official subpoena expected to be issued to Chan to appear for an interview next week.
	Chan has testified in lawsuits against the federal government in the past regarding censorship and big tech collusion.
	So this is going to get interesting.
	And we'll find out what happens to Merrick Garland, because House Republicans are pressing Garland for information on Hunter's lawyers, you know, as they push to prosecute whistleblowers.
	And now you can add to the list uh David Weiss.
	Oh, we can't comment on ongoing investigations.
	No, why would we ever want to expose ourselves?
	Um, you know, a lot of people have been asking me about these three felony counts against Hunter Biden.
	And while what about all these issues, Hannity that you keep talking about, the tens of millions of dollars and the shell corporations and the nine Biden family members that that appear to have been paid, according to James Comer.
	Uh, you know, why did what what did the Biden family do for tens of millions of dollars with countries like Russia and China and Kazakhstan and Romania and Ukraine?
	What do they do?
	What are the grandchildren that got paid, according to Comer, do for that money?
	You know, look, and and why only this?
	Well, they're going after the low-hanging fruit because it doesn't involve Joe Biden.
	That's why.
	And and and I've got to be honest, as I said yesterday, this was not plan A. Plan A was no charges at all.
	Then the IRS whistleblowers showed up.
	Whoopsie Daisy.
	All right.
	Well, we'll come up with a bogus get out of jail free card sweetheart plea deal for Hunter with no jail time, no felony charges, and you know, we'll take the gun charges and we'll sweep them under the rug.
	We'll give him a diversion program, and oh, and we'll sneak in on page 15 in the gun diversion portion of the plea agreement, an immunity deal that he can't be prosecuted on any other uh crime that he may have committed at the time.
	By the way, the same David Weiss's office that allowed the statute of limitations to pass.
	By the way, I want to remind you about pre-born's network of clinics, because they're they're performing miracles every day.
	Uh, I've always said abortion is a heart issue.
	In other words, you have to change people's hearts.
	Well, that's the mission of preborn.
	And they are using the science of 4D ultrasound, and they give free alt 40 ultrasounds to any expecting mother, and they introduce these expecting mothers to what is beautiful growing inside them.
	And then when these expecting moms hear heartbeats and they see facial features and they can count fingers and toes, guess what?
	If they were thinking about abortion, the odds grow exponentially that they're gonna follow through and give life.
	And by the way, they also have other great services, counseling services.
	You know, after your baby's born, if you need help with diapers and baby formula, whatever, they're there to help you for that too.
	They don't get a penny like Planned Parenthood from the F federal government.
	This is only supported by people that believe in the sanctity of life.
	Uh twenty-eight bucks for every pre ultrasound they give out.
	I just I just bought two ultrasound machines for two of their facilities.
	They desperately needed them.
	Linda, they do great work, and And as I've always said on this program, it's a heart issue.
	You change people's hearts.
	Now they're using science to do it.
	Girls know until they see those ultrasounds that what is living inside of you is a life.
	It has a heartbeat, it has a soul, it has spirit, and you're going to want to meet that little person someday.
	So make sure you contact them because they're going to show you a different path.
	You're not going to get it anywhere else.
	Anyway, right now you can donate.
	They they rely a hundred percent on donations, not a penny from the government.
	Just style pound two fifty, say the keyword baby, pound two pound two fifty keyword baby, or on their website.
	It's preborn.com slash Sean.
	S-E-A-N.
	You know, look.
	These are all serious charges.
	We're talking about 25 years combined possibility in jail for Hunter.
	And he he did lie on the form.
	But where's the Farah violations and the Farah charges?
	They've had no problem bringing them up against Paul Manafort and other people.
	You know, where's the investigation into how what did the Biden family do for tens of millions of dollars?
	And what role did Joe Biden play in all of this?
	Because Joe Biden lied when he said that he never once spoke to his son, his brother, or anybody for that matter.
	Well, then why was he on all these phone calls?
	Well, he's talking about the weather, Congressman Goldman tells us.
	I'm like, that is the dumbest answer that I've ever heard in my life.
	What about the meetings with oligarchs at Cafe Milano?
	What about the money from some of our biggest geopolitical foes?
	Why is Hunter getting paid money from the Chinese state energy conglomerate, the CEFC?
	Millions of dollars.
	Why is he writing notes saying whats that messages?
	I'm sitting here with my father, wondering why you haven't kept your commitment.
	Within a week, millions of dollars sent over to you know one of these shell corporation accounts.
	Then of course the 1023 form.
	FBI informant, by the way, highly trusted.
	Meeting with the CEO of Barisma.
	That CEO is saying, Yeah, I didn't want to pay it, but I had to give five million to one Biden and five million to another Biden, and it's gonna take ten years to find the money.
	And I'm being told they're very close to finding where the money was paid.
	So we'll find out.
	You look at all these things, but that Joe took the it's very clear that Joe took specific actions that enriched his family by firing that prosecutor against Obama administration's own policy from October of 2015.
	And how odd is it that Hunter got on the phone when he was in Dubai with Barisma executives that were desperate for DC help?
	Obviously, Hunter can't provide DC help, but Pops can.
	And then five days later he leverages a billion dollars to get the prosecutor fired, and the net result of that is Hunter continues to get paid for work that is by his own admission he had no experience in.
	But no, there's no evidence at all.
	You listen to the media mob.
	None at all.
	That's not evidence.
	That's not worthy of an investigation.
	How is it that David Weiss spent five years allowing the statute of limitations to expire on very serious tax violations?
	Could you imagine if the last name's Hannity?
	Forget it.
	I'd be in the Linda, would you bring me a cake with a file in it?
	That's the only one.
	I might bring you a cupcake.
	I don't know if I bring a whole cake.
	I can't hide it.
	Can you put a file in it or something?
	I'll give you a little USB card.
	We'll slip it right in.
	No problem.
	Well, maybe I can, you know, find a path out like the guy did in uh Shaw Shank Redemption.
	Oh God.
	But remember, the plan was they would they weren't going to charge Hunter with a thing until the IRS whistleblowers showed up.
	And then plan B was the sweetheart deal with immunity built into it.
	They weren't going to charge him there either.
	That was a slap on the wrist, sweetheart deal.
	Well, that blew up.
	And then plan C is well, after trying to protect the Bidens from any legal scrutiny, yeah, Weiss had no choice here.
	But now they're going for the low-hanging fruit that doesn't get anywhere near Joe, and they're hoping that this satisfies people.
	That doesn't satisfy justice.
	Are they going to go after Hunter for any other potential crimes, Farrah violations?
	Are they going to ask, demand answers what he and other family members did for these tens of millions of dollars identified by the House Oversight Committee and the use of these shell corporations?
	What he did for this money, what experience and expertise he offered, what experience and expertise the grandchildren offered, according to Comer.
	I'd like to know why they were getting paid.
	How nice of them to pay grandchildren.
	How nice of them to give away, you know, Porsches and send the exact amount of money for a brand new Porsche.
	Wow.
	Nice gig if you can get it.
	You know, tax evasion, fair violations, money laundering, allegations, bribery, allegations.
	Oh.
	You know, no one in Russia, China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Romania.
	Why do you think why would they be sending Hunter and admitted drug addict at the time?
	Which is sad in and of itself.
	Why his company tens of millions of dollars?
	Hunter admitted, no experience at all.
	But, you know, Devin Archer kind of nailed it when he said it was about the brand.
	The Biden brand.
	Now, is the Biden brand Hunter or is it Joe?
	Because it's, you know, kind of unusual that Hunter's on record complaining about giving up half his income to Pops, paying for the, you know, writing the head of finances at Rosemont Seneca.
	Uh, which account should I pay Pops bills uh for home repair bills this week?
	Expensive home repairs.
	You know, very direct.
	Remember, the 1023, the FBI informant, had been paid in the past hundreds of thousands of dollars by our own FBI.
	I assume they must find that man credible.
	Or else why would they pay him all that money?
	And he's the one that got the information that Joe took specific actions in exchange for family enrichment.
	Well, that would sound like evidence to me, but according to the media mob and Democrats, there's no evidence at all.
	Whatsoever.
	These are mere coincidences.
	You know, why would you question, just because you don't like Hunter Biden, you don't like that he got paid all that money, Hannity.
	I don't care how much money he makes, legitimately, but if they're trying to buy influence and it compromises the president of the United States, I'm I'm pretty interested.
