All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free number.
We'd love to hear from you today.
It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, fireworks among Republicans in the House, which, by the way, is not a bad thing, especially when they're fighting to rein in out-of-control budget spending.
And the timing of it couldn't be any more appropriate because we have now hit the $33 trillion mark in terms of debt that we are imposing on our children and children.
National debt, 33 children, 33 trillion for the first time in history, which means we're putting that burden, that financial burden, on our children, on our grandchildren, probably our great-grandchildren for crying out loud.
While simultaneously, the Biden administration just unleashed a 50-year mining oil drilling ban across thousands of acres in New Mexico.
This is just the latest example.
And it's very interesting to watch how the United Auto Workers are now turning on Biden because he turned their back on them.
A big part of their job security is wiped away because of his mandates on electric vehicles.
Look, the American people don't want them.
They don't want them in the numbers that they're forcing these car makers to produce them in.
And that, by the way, is bad business for, you know, in this case, the big three automakers.
You know, Ford cannot afford, and even though they've had a great year, to lose $4.5 billion on their EV, you know, electric vehicle line, they can't afford that.
They've got to stop.
And I will tell you, this has to be the point where auto workers need to put the most pressure.
Now, you know, I know Bernie Sanders wants to have a 32-hour workweek.
With all due respect to my friends in the United Autoworkers Union, and I do respect union guys, and I know you guys work your ass off.
And, you know, I want you guys to get as much pay as possible.
As long as the company can still, you know, be profitable, everybody should benefit.
I totally agree with that.
No problem at all.
32-hour, four-day week workweek.
Sorry, that's not going to happen.
That doesn't happen for most people.
Now, in terms of wage increases, benefit increases, the one thing that I'd really love to see is everybody, and I know a lot of people have been complaining about CEO pay, and it's disproportionate to what the average hourly worker is being paid.
Look, corporations have to pay for good CEOs.
What that number should be is basically up to the shareholders and the people that work there, and they have the right to put their pressure on CEOs and CEO pay.
I got it.
But if they designed, because most CEO pay is literally contingent on how much this company can make on any given year based on their leadership.
So if the best, I think the best resolution in my mind for auto workers would be that they themselves are involved in profit sharing.
Isn't that a good idea, Linda?
I think I might have just solved the problem.
You are a very good businessman.
Well, I am a good businessman, and I want these guys working.
I want them to get back to work.
I don't want these guys, you know, sitting home.
They don't want to sit home.
And I think most of them would probably understand not having a four-day work week.
I think.
Maybe I'm wrong on that.
I understand people are changing work rules here, there, and everywhere.
But, you know what?
You've got to keep those lines humming.
If you want to produce at a level where the company is going to create profitability, they've got to design the great products that people love and desire.
Is there any better truck than American Trucks, Chevy and Ford, F-150s and Dodge Ram?
I mean, they're all good trucks.
They're all great trucks.
But Americans don't want what they're producing.
Do you know, by the way, I've been talking all about this Corvette Z06, and I want the one with the Z07 package.
Anyway, two of my buddies, motorheads, they got me jazzed up about this almost two years ago, a year and a half ago.
I forgot when we finally put our name on a list.
They got theirs.
I didn't get mine.
But anyway, so, but there's such demand for it.
And now they were going to have a year where they went from, I think this thing produces 800 horsepower.
This is made for a track.
You can drive that car on a track, and it just, it's like way less than half the price you'd pay for a similar sports car.
Like a, I don't know, a Lamborghini, whatever.
They're more motorheads than I am.
I was more of a motorhead when I was younger, and I used to fix my own cars and paint my own cars.
Yes, I did it all.
I did tune-ups.
I did my own brakes, oil changes, you name it.
I would do it.
I would fix it.
Starters, alternators.
I mean, I couldn't do engine rebuilds, but not many people can.
I couldn't do a tranny rebuild.
Not many people can do that either.
It takes a certain amount of sophistication.
Now I look under the hood of my car and I'm like, okay, let me call the dealer, see if they can give me a loaner while this one's under repair because I have absolutely no hope of fixing a thing.
I don't even think I could change the oil anymore because things are computerized and the whole market's changed.
Anyway, I digress.
But I want that to happen.
And I'll tell you, this warning by Goldman Sachs today in their commodities research concluding that because of Saudi Arabia and OPEC's decision to reduce the output of oil not once but twice by a couple of million barrels of oil a day, they're now predicting that the price of a barrel of oil is going to go way past $100 by sometime early next year.
Goldman Sachs Commodities, they said between OPEC, if OPEC and OPEC plus Russia doesn't reverse half of their 1.7 million barrels per day of output by December of 2024, the price of Brent crude is going to hit $107 a barrel.
Let me tell you what that means.
Get ready.
We're at $4 a gallon.
Now we'll be at $5 a gallon.
And what does Biden do when he goes to the UN today?
And we'll play some of it later.
He just ratchets up his war on fossil fuels with a new crackdown also on oil and gas production.
This is not good.
He said he wants to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels to climate-proof the world.
Okay, the world doesn't think like you do, Joe.
They're not looking at it.
For one day, my administration, from day one, our administration has treated the climate crisis as an existential threat.
No, Iran, China, Russia, North Korea, that's where the real threat is, Joe, and they're running all over you.
But, you know, we've now, as a country, this is the dumbest decision this man has made.
If you want to know why 61% of our fellow Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, why so many people are tapping into their pensions and paying taxes they otherwise wouldn't pay on their pensions.
You want to know why people are using credit cards for bare necessities in larger numbers?
This is one of the biggest reasons.
One of the biggest drivers of inflation is the cost of energy.
It impacts every single thing you buy at every single store you go to.
And it impacts how you get to and fro.
And it's like, remember, Obama didn't mind the increase in oil prices.
Why?
Because it advances their agenda to shove these electric vehicles down our throat.
I don't want an electric vehicle.
And for those of you that do, I'm all for it.
You should have the option to go get it.
I have a friend of mine, loves, loves, loves his Tesla, loves it.
I've driven it.
I actually think it was, wow, I thought the technology was pretty interesting.
But God forbid you actually give a little thought into what it means to create an electric vehicle, the cobalt, the manganese, manganese, the nickel, the minerals that they use heavy equipment that pollute and use fossil fuels to dig into mother earth and pillage mother earth,
you know, to build a 2,000-pound battery that they shove in these cars that need to be replaced more often than you think, and that cost the average consumer 15 to 20 grand more on top of then the charging station that you got to have.
And it didn't work out for Jennifer Grandholm when she tried to drive a car, you know, across varying states and she found that it wasn't so easily accessible to find charges wherever she wanted them.
Whoopsie-daisy.
Anyway, so now the Fed, they're going to have to deal with this issue of $100 a barrel oil as Saudi output cuts and record demand to push crude prices even higher.
I'm looking right now at regular gas in California, $6.49 for regular.
If you want plus, it's $6.71.
My car takes premium.
I don't know why it takes premium, but it takes premium.
$683, that's $7 a gallon.
Americans cannot afford this.
61% are living paycheck to paycheck.
Now, that then dovestail into what I was saying earlier, that there's an intramural fight within the Republican Party.
Now, they had come to an agreement, a bill sponsored by members of the Conservative House Freedom Caucus and the more moderate Main Street Caucus.
And it was actually, to me, it was a good short-term deal, even though I've been telling these people in Washington that they need to get their act together and they need to get a budget done.
And they had talked about putting forward 12 appropriations bills and not getting to this point.
But of course, it's Washington.
God forbid they work in July and August like the rest of us.
But anyway, so they came up with a deal that would impose 8% spending cuts on federal agencies.
I can deal with that.
That sounds good to me.
And by the way, that wouldn't include national defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the amounts designated for disaster relief.
Sounds reasonable.
Temporary measure would also include border security provisions.
We are getting crushed by the 8 million illegal immigrants that Joe Biden in three years will allow into this country.
By the end of eight years, the number is estimated to be 8 million.
If we include gotaways, God only knows what the real number is.
And if you look at articles that have come out today, the reason you're seeing these caravans of trains packed with thousands of illegal immigrants crossing our border, the reason is simple.
This is designed by the cartels because when all of the border resources are funneled into one particular area because they're just overwhelming or flooding the zone, if we're going to use a football analogy that Linda won't understand, and once that happens, that opens up the entire rest of the border for the human trafficking, the opioid trafficking, the fentanyl.
Now we have kids in daycare in New York dying from fentanyl overdoses in a daycare center.
Three kids poisoned, nearly died, and one kid died.
I mean, this is insanity.
Anyway, so that's where they are with this.
And House Republicans now have to come to some sort of agreement.
My understanding is this deal in particular has kind of, you know, died on the vine.
So they're now working on a second version of this.
But we only got 11 days till the big, you know, dramatic government shutdown comes.
I'm not one that fears a government shutdown.
Sorry, you're not going to move the needle with me on this because I watched too many government shutdowns over the course of my many years on talk radio and my many years on television.
And sorry, this is the way it usually ends.
Usually, that means the military, they're not going anywhere.
They're essential workers.
They're going to continue to get paid.
Then you have, for example, money for veterans, the veterans administration.
They're going to remain open.
Social Security checks will go out in spite of all the fear-mongering you'll hear.
And Republicans with $33 trillion in debt need to take a stand that they're not going to allow this reckless spending to continue.
And just because the House finally comes to agreement doesn't mean that Mitch McConnell is going to be able to move the needle in the Senate or care to even move the needle in the Senate.
And I'm sorry, but you Senate Republicans need to get your act together.
And whatever the Republicans pull off in the House and they eventually agree to, which will itself be a compromise, the Senate needs to do their job.
And then they need to be willing to let the government shut down and then blame, put the blame where it belongs on the people that are robbing our children and our grandchildren blind.
It's time to take a stand.
That's what you guys got elected for.
You said you wanted to, you know, lead.
This is a chance to lead.

We got a lot to get to regarding Joe Biden.
You know, first of all, what do you think this effort really is about when, you know, Hunter, now you're trying to embarrass me with what?
The fact that IRS whistleblowers referenced what they saw on under testimony in Congress, what they saw regarding a cover-up and influence being exerted on them from the DOJ and the IRS and the FBI and other groups in terms of the investigation into Hunter, they're supposed to be quiet about that.
And Hunter is going to try and tell us that they were trying to embarrass him.
Has anyone seen the laptop from hell pictures?
You know, it's like, you know, naked Hunter, crackpipe hunter.
I mean, you got to be kidding me.
And we're going to get into all of this.
Now they have come up.
I'll explain after the break.
They have come up with yet another variation, if you will, or shift in narrative as it relates to Hunter Biden and his relationship with his dad, Joey, your president.
And, you know, remember, it all started out never once, and he said it many times as a candidate, many times as a president.
Never once spoke to my son, Hunter, or my brother, or anybody for that matter about their foreign business deals.
We'll tell you the evolution, the latest evolution regarding this, because they keep shifting the goalpost regarding this.
And Hunter Biden now trying to go on the offensive against Republicans with their war room.
This is not going to work.
And I'll explain why it's not going to work.
And all the evidence that they say is non-existent and the media mob and the Democratic Party trying to delude themselves into thinking that there's no evidence.
There's a plethora of evidence.
So, and by the way, Hunter is now trying to avoid in-person arraignment on his federal gun charges.
Jim Jordan is demanding documents from Hunter Biden's probe and interview with the top prosecutor.
Merrick Garland will make an appearance before Congress tomorrow.
How much you want to bet?
He says a lot.
I'm not allowed to comment on an ongoing investigation.
Opposing government waste and abuse of your liberties every day.
Sean Hannity is on right now.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Glad you're with us.
800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, I want to remind you about my pillow.
They now celebrating their 20th anniversary with a big closeout sale on their Per Cal Sheets.
Now, I've been talking about this 20th anniversary, record low prices.

Look, they're available in a variety of colors, sizes, all included in this closeout sale.

Anyway, just go to mypillow.com, Sean Hannity Square, or you can just call and mention my name, 800-919-6090.
Deep discounts on all these great MyPillow products going on right now.
All right, so here's where we are.
We have people in this country that are in complete, complete denial about what's going on with the Joe Biden bribery and money laundering scandal allegations.
They don't want to look at any truth.
And the mob and the media, they're just too willing.
Even though we've had this transition, which I predicted was going to happen, Linda, did I not predict repeatedly to watch out for prominent media Democrats to now start going after Joe and talking about him being weak and frail and a cognitive mess for the first time, and that maybe he's not the guy to have on the ticket?
Didn't I predict that many times?
You did many, many times.
Okay, so now they finally caught up with us.
We only figured this all out during the election, even in the primary, but put that aside for a minute here.
But now we have more evidence emerging every day, and this is still the one thing the mob and the media won't talk about.
And by the way, when you lose Baureen Dowd, David Ignatius, liberal Joe Scarborough, and let's see, who else did we lose on top of that?
Van Jones, James Carville, David Axelrod.
You know what?
The dominoes are falling.
When Nancy Pelosi offers such tepid response and support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, you know something is brewing here.
And that is to get him off the ticket and get her off the ticket.
There's got to be a reason why Gavin Newsom and now yet another interview is saying, nope, the person, if Joe doesn't run, it would be Kamala.
But Joe's running.
Joe's doing a great job.
Look at the great policies.
But the media won't touch this bribery, money laundering scandal allegation story, which, by the way, if it was anybody that's a Republican or certainly anybody with the last name Trump, it would be top of mind every second minute hour of every day.
And if the Trump administration put out a letter to the press to publicly excoriate anybody that dares to talk about this story, I love how this guy in the White House counsel's office just continues to be obsessed with my show, which is fine.
That means we're doing our job.
In spite of all of their efforts, still 61% of Americans believe that Joey, your president, was involved in helping and supporting an active in Hunter's scam, which is now heading into tens and tens of millions of dollars.
Nancy Mace will join us in the next hour, and she thinks it's as high as $50 million to the Bidens alone.
But, you know, okay, selling influence.
What did the Bidens do?
Because James Comer has said nine Biden family members.
Remember, they had 170 suspicious activity reports flagged by banks.
Banks get in touch with the Treasury Department's criminal division to hand them a suspicious activity report.
We know already of 20-plus million, but there are millions more that have been funneled in business deals.
How much did they profit?
How much were the business deals?
What did it add up to?
We don't have the final number yet, but they have been able to track a lot of this money.
And it seems like a family that's led by Hunter Biden, a family business that has tens of millions of dollars, and he has no experience and is admittedly addicted to drugs at the time, seems a little suspicious to me.
That would be called evidence.
You know, Greg Jarrett, in his article that he put out today, pointed out that they have fact-checkers all over the media, fake news, CNN, elsewhere, telling their audience that Joe committed no crimes because he hasn't been shown that he personally received a cut.
Well, as he said, fact-checkers never bother to check the law because Biden doesn't need to receive a penny to have committed felonies under the law if cash went to, quote, some other person or entity instead of the actual office holder.
It is still the crime of bribery and any influence peddling scheme.
But, you know, how is it that the guy that swore over and over again that not once did he ever speak with his son, brother, or anybody for that matter about their foreign business deals?
How did we discover that he was on the phone with Hunter's business partners at least 20 times, according to Devin Archer?
How is it we learned about the Cafe Milano meetings with Russian oligarchs and other foreign business partners when, in fact, he said he never had anything to do with it?
And this goes to the whole issue of they're now shifting the goalposts.
And remember, the first thing was Joe never spoke to his son, his brother, or anybody for that matter.
That evolved into, well, no, Joe's never been in business with Hunter.
That now is involved into this as of now, that his lawyer declared that the first son did not share his business or his profits with his father.
That is a massive goalpost shift, a notable shift in the narrative responding to the allegations linking Joe, the big guy, to his son's shady business deals.
Now, you also have other evidence that you can bring into play here.
Who paid for Joe's houses?
I think we need to ask.
Last time I checked, a house on the water, on the ocean, in any city, tends to be very expensive.
How did somebody on a senator's salary where you have to pay for two residences, how is he able to afford that?
I think interesting minds want to inquire about such.
How is it that he had other homes and a stingray next to his top secret classified documents that they never decided to rate?
How did all that happen?
You know, so now you take it a step further.
Why did he meet and dine with Hunter's foreign business partners?
Why on December 5th of 2015, after it was official Obama administration policy in October of 2015, did he get on the phone with Burisma executives, which we now know through emails and other communication, desperately needed DC help.
The help was to get rid of the prosecutor investigating them.
Hunter Biden was in Dubai with Burisma executives in early December, December 5th, 2015.
Five days later, Joe is meeting in Ukraine with the billion in loan guarantees that was official Obama administration policy.
And what did he do?
He decided to hold up the billion until they fired the prosecutor that Burisma desperately wanted fired.
And as a result of that, his son continued to get paid a lot of money.
Whoopsie-daisy.
By the way, even as far as the law goes, you know, a promise alone in exchange for cash is criminal under the law.
Now, that's very key here.
Well, Joe didn't get paid.
He didn't benefit at all financially in any way, shape, manner, or form.
Okay.
Well, then why did Hunter whine and bitch and moan about giving half his income to pops?
Why did Tony Bobolinski talk about 10% for the big guy was for Joe Biden?
Who paid for the houses?
How is it we now have emails with the person that was the financial head of Rosemont Seneca, a guy by the name of Eric Sherwin, and emails with Hunter saying, well, here's dad's home repair bills.
What account should I use to pay off this bill and that bill?
That seems like, oh, that seems like Joe was benefiting, even though the law doesn't even require that.
And, you know, if I hear one more time that there's no evidence, no evidence, no evidence.
Yeah, there's plenty of evidence, plenty of it.
And, you know, withholding a billion dollars in U.S. loan guarantees to Ukraine to get a prosecutor fired.
Wasn't that odd from the beginning?
And then Joe does it, son of a B, they fired him.
What was the net result of that?
Hunter continued to get paid for a job in which he had no experience by his own admission at a time when he was addicted to drugs by their own admission.
Now, then the 1023 form shows up.
That's the one the FBI did not want you to get a copy of.
Well, you might remember they did their best to cover that up.
But in that, you have a trusted FBI informant, trusted by the FBI, we know, because they're the ones who previously paid this informant hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I don't think you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to people you don't trust.
And this informant is meeting with the CEO of Burisma.
And, oh, lo and behold, that's when he drops the bombshell.
$5 million to one Biden, $5 million to another Biden.
And it'll take you 10 years to figure out how we actually transferred the money.
Oh, that's interesting.
So you have the number two supervisor, by the way, at the FBI's field office in Washington telling congressional investigators he was attempting to corroborate the informant's story by speaking with a second source, but was instructed to shut down.
This is where the cover-up begins.
This is where the favoritism, this is where the FBI is politicized and weaponized.
This is a dual system of justice that I often talk about.
But that 1023 form is very revealing that Joe took specific actions in exchange for money that the CEO of Burisma didn't want to pay according to this 1023 form.
Remember what he said?
My son hasn't made a dime from China.
Okay.
Well, then how is it that we have a WhatsApp message discovered by IRS whistleblowers?
Quote, I'm sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.
And then it goes on to direct the Chinese business links to the Communist Party.
By the way, I believe another oil company, Communist Party-run, CEFC, Hunter then says, I'll make certain that between the man sitting next to me, that would be Pops, and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.
Wow.
Snap your finger shortly thereafter, $5 million wired to one of Hunter's companies.
Now, the media would say that's not evidence.
Greg Jarrett made a good point in his column.
You have to be monumentally dense not to recognize what is the obvious here.
But then he spells it out simply for what he calls the mentally challenged members of the press.
I think they fully understand it myself.
They just, you know, they just want to hate Trump more.
But anyway, facts and information are evidence.
They're often documentary, often testimonial, direct and circumstantial.
Whether those facts rise to the level of criminality, okay, that'll deal with the evidence and the proof, but it's still evidence.
But yet it's denied by the media mob.
You see where we're going here?
This is all one big incestuous group.
The mob, the media, the Democratic Party.
You know, who else, what Republican would ever get away?
What Republican president would get away with a letter to the press telling them to fight back against, you know, anybody that says anything they disagree with?
You know, now we're going to try and intimidate what?
The IRS?
They didn't go after the whistleblowers, interestingly, in this lawsuit.
But I would love to have discovery because I think that the discovery would include Joe and Hunter Biden.
And in a case like that, I don't think that they're going to want that.
But it is what it is.
But they're acting, they're on the offensive because they just, so now they got a war room set up.
Okay, open your war room.
Attack John Solomon, attack Sean Hannity.
Gee, we've never been down this road before.
Now Hunter wants to avoid the in-person arraignment on the federal gun crime.
Let's see what happens there.
Let's see what the judge says in this case.
That's the same judge that said no to this crazy deal.
But anyway, I just think that this is an effort.
Look, let me put it this way.
I know from my sources, they already have more whistleblower testimony, and we might get to hear it sooner than later.
Jordan is demanding documents from the Hunter-Biden probe.
That's important.
And Kevin McCarthy said, yes, Hunter Biden will be subpoenaed.
It doesn't mean he'll talk.
Merrick Garland's going to be there tomorrow.
Hopefully, we'll get to the bottom of whether or not there is political interference as alleged by the FBI and by IRS whistleblowers.
And we should ask a lot of questions, hopefully, tomorrow about David Weiss and whether or not he had the authority or didn't have the authority to be in charge because in June, he wrote Jim Jordan a letter.
Weiss said his charging authority was limited to his district and that it was the DOJ procedure to seek cooperation from U.S. attorneys if charges are set to be filed in their district.
But then in a letter to Lindsey Graham, Weiss told a different story in July.
And that is that he told Graham saying that he had final charging authority.
And then we have Merrick Garland weighing in saying that he had final charging authority.
Okay, did he or didn't he?
Was the White House transition team tipped off about a plan of the FBI to interview Hunter?
You know, what was their involvement in this?
What are they doing with the FD 1023 form?
Can we get an update?
Can we talk about the informant that the FBI happened to trust a lot?
There's a lot of questions for Merrick Garland.
I don't expect him to answer one of them.
Nancy May, South Carolina congresswoman who sits on the very powerful House Oversight Committee, she will join us.
She's predicting that the Biden family alone got $50 million that she can trace.
And she's seen a lot of the suspicious activity reports and so much more.
I mean, she's got a lot to say on this.
She's also looked at where the money's gone, who the Biden family members are.
Then you don't want to miss what are the House Republicans going to do with an 11-day deadline to the quote government shutdown.
