Hour two, Sean Hannity Show.
Thank you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free number.
We'd love to hear from you.
It's 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, we'll talk to Congresswoman Nancy Mason in a minute about her role on the House Oversight Committee.
So much evidence has emerged as it relates to Joe Biden, his relationship with his son, the lies that he's told, suspicious activity reports, shell corporations, nine Biden family members paid.
A lot of the money coming from our top geopolitical foes, but Joe didn't do anything.
Let's see, 20 phone calls at least that we know of, multiple meetings at Cafe Milano with oligarchs like the former first lady of Moscow, who did $3.5 million in business with Hunter.
And on top of that, what, $120 million, did Devin Archer say, invested in their real estate ventures?
Anyway, Congresswoman Nancy May, South Carolina, is with us.
Congresswoman, how are you?
Good afternoon, Sean.
Thanks for having me this afternoon.
My first question is, how is it possible that an $80 million jet was lost in your district in F-35 for some 28 hours yesterday?
How does that happen?
That is the $80 million question, Sean, this afternoon with very little information coming from the Pentagon.
I actually was briefed by the Pentagon yesterday, and guess what?
They sent people over who had no answers to any relevant questions about the jets' disappearance.
And we had our military branches, we had the Pentagon asking the public for help to find a jet and turn it in.
It was a huge embarrassment to the Pentagon.
And to this day, today, they still are not answering our questions.
Pretty unbelievable, isn't it?
Let me turn before I get to this issue of the Biden Family Syndicate, as I call it.
Or if you're in Fulton County, Georgia, you probably understand the word enterprise a lot.
Joe Biden said he asked Congress for an additional funds to increase the World Bank funding by $25 billion.
We just now hit a record $33 trillion in debt, $2 trillion this year alone under Joe Biden's reckless spending.
And I just want to play this for you and get your reaction to it.
On top of the monies that many people want for Ukraine, I got into this with Sean Penn last night.
I said conservative support for the war in Ukraine has dissipated because Europe's not stepping up and doing their fair share as usual.
And number two, Joe Biden, you know, vetoed the MiG jets from the very beginning, which was the biggest indicator that if our involvement is not to win a war, then why involve ourselves at all?
Under the new president of the World Bank, change is already taking root.
Last month, I asked the United States Congress for additional funds to expand World Bank financing by $25 billion.
And the G20, we rallied the major economies of the world to mobilize even more funding.
Collectively, we can deliver a transformational boost to World Bank lending.
$500 million in Ukraine for green energy.
He also said it's critical we work with China on the climate crisis.
China doesn't care about the climate crisis.
Let's play it.
But we also stand ready to work together with China on issues where progress hinges on our common efforts.
Nowhere is that more critical than accelerating the climate crisis than the accelerated climate crisis.
Yeah, and then, of course, well, Joe is basically unilaterally disarmed, which is why we're now at the mercy of many countries that hate us, OPEC nations, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, even Iran now with this idiotic deal.
Congresswoman, I don't like the way this, if you look at all the monies we're paying for these globalist organizations, the WHO, the WEF, you know, billions of dollars to the UN and all this green energy money around the world that they're throwing at everybody, now offering $500 million to Ukraine, which is asinine.
Americans have had it.
And cozying up to China.
And I hate to ask what the heck shared vision means, but I think we can all agree it is not 2020 vision.
I mean, this guy is unbelievable.
And we leave out that just a few days ago, he gave away $6 billion to Iran on 9-11, no less.
I mean, the guy is totally out of control.
And I want to know why he's cozying up to China in the way that he's doing.
And this is not some free-for-all giveaway.
And I hope that none of this is in the continuing resolution because that's got to stop.
But it is insane to me that we just allow this sort of thing to go on over and over and over again.
And we're not looking out for the American people.
We're looking out for every other country but our own.
And it's just totally untenable and it's un-American.
Where do you stand on that continuing resolution?
My understanding is the Freedom Caucus partnered with the more moderate wing of the Republican Party and they came up with a deal.
I have Matt Gaetz debating Chip Roy on it coming up in a little bit.
Where do you stand on it?
I look forward to hearing that debate.
And in fact, I empathize with Matt Gates on this issue.
I've been a strong fiscal hawk since I got here.
And we cannot continue the same thing that the left has done year over year.
We made a promise to the American people we would put a budget together, that we would do these appropriations bills.
And here we are doing the same thing that's always been done.
We are extending Joe Biden's priorities by doing a continuing resolution.
And, you know, I, quite frankly, I don't trust anybody up here to tell me the truth or tell me what's going to happen, honestly, over the next couple of weeks, because I feel like we've been misled, that the American people have been misled.
I talked about this during the debt ceiling deal.
I said this was not going to go down the way the American people were told.
And on top of that, there will be supplemental spending bills for Ukraine and for defense and all these other things that we simply cannot afford.
And I'm not interested in playing a shell game with your tax dollars over the next 30 days.
Either we get smart about spending and take responsibility for years past and the $33 trillion in debt that we have on the table, or we just do things like everybody else has always done.
And then America loses when we do that.
So Joe Biden's excuse on his relationship with his son and his foreign business dealing started with repeatedly as a candidate and president saying that he never once spoke to his son Hunter, his brother, or anybody for that matter about their foreign business deals.
That evolved into he's never been in business with his son, which now has evolved into the new goalpost today that His son did not share his business or his profits with his father, according to his attorney, marking what I believe is a very notable shift in the narrative.
I don't know how they then answer what's on Hunter Biden's laptop.
What's the next evolution in this lie?
All lies.
And every time Hunter's attorneys have been asked questions, they have not told the truth.
We know that Joe Biden, every time the media, which is hardly any.
but every time he's been asked a question, he's told lies about this.
And the mainstream media and the left just want to sweep this under the rug and say, all of this is normal.
Just look the other way.
It's going to be okay.
And it's not.
It's racketeering.
It's bribery.
It's money laundering.
And I've seen the SARS reports.
And I know the amount of money that we're talking about are astronomical sums of money.
And this isn't just about Hunter Biden.
This is about Joe Biden.
And we had a meeting earlier today, earlier this week with Oversight Committee.
We're going to have a hearing a week from Thursday.
But it's not just bank records we have to go get.
I want to see credit card statements, how much cash was taken out.
How did all of this happen?
The evidence is everywhere.
The media wants to deny it.
But as you said, Sean, it's in text messages.
It's in emails.
It's in dinners.
It's in phone calls.
It's on airplanes.
It's everywhere we look.
There is evidence of corruption.
And I believe Joe Biden will go down as the most corrupt president in U.S. history.
You said that in spite of the number that we have now, which is more than $20 million funneled into this complex web of shell corporations, you know, you referenced the 170 suspicious activity reports flagged by banks to the Treasury Department's criminal division and all the money.
James Comer has spoken at length about the nine Biden family members that got some of this money.
I'd like to know what Hunter admits he had no experience, and he's admitting that he was addicted to drugs at the time.
I'm glad he cleaned his act up, if in fact that's true.
However, what did the grandkids do for the money, Congresswoman?
Right.
And I've seen bank accounts of Joe Biden grandchildren with money from communist China.
A lot of money.
And the 20 million, I don't think, scratches the surface.
I mean, at the end of the day, we know that the Biden family got a third cut of everything, and the amount of money overall are astronomical sums.
And so I'm very much looking forward to subpoenaing everyone in the Biden family.
Joe Biden has a lot to answer for, but we've got to get all those bank records, all the credit card statements, everything we can to show the American people, this is your president.
And do you want them to be president in the future?
And I think the overwhelming majority of people will say absolutely not.
He sold his country out for a large sum of money.
What about the FBI informant in a 1023 form, a trusted FBI informant, speaking and quoting the CEO of Burisma?
I didn't want to have to pay the Bidens, but I gave $5 million to this Biden and $5 billion to that Biden.
And it'll take you 10 years to find that money.
Are you getting any closer to discovering how that money was funneled to the Bidens?
Was it funneled to the Bidens?
Not fast enough.
This thing feels like it's moving at a snail's pace, but we have to go overseas to look at some of those bank accounts and those bank records, which takes more time than I have patience for.
But at the end of the day, I believe we will be able to have all the records to back up these accusations.
And not even, it's just not even the 1023 form.
We have more whistleblowers that have come forward.
There are whistleblowers on the Ways and Means Committee that I hope they'll have a vote in executive committee session this week to be able to reveal that information to the public so that the whistleblowers don't get charged with a felony for revealing information.
Every time we look under a rock here, it's extraordinary the extent that the DOJ, the FBI, the IRS, Joe Biden, his family, and their attorneys have gone to block any effort to investigate the corruption in their family.
Well, Joe Biden famously claimed that his son has not made money from China.
We know that's untrue.
And we also know from a lot of the evidence that has come out so far, you know, what about the WhatsApp message?
I'm sitting here with my father.
We'd like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.
Say, sending this to a Chinese businessman, we believe from the Chinese oil conglomerate, the CEFC, correct me if I'm wrong, that it has direct links to the Communist Party and then says, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold the grudge that you will regret not following my direction, and then another $5 million wired to a company of hunters.
Is that true?
Yes.
And the WhatsApp message is right there.
We're talking about mafia-level tactics.
We are talking about bribery.
And anyone that denies it or says this is just normal business, it's not.
I mean, I don't even care about the Hunter gun charge.
What I care about is the bribery, the corruption, operating as a foreign agent to get dollars in the door for access to his father, selling access to his father, because none of this happens without Joe Biden.
It's obscene.
It's so obscene.
And I wish I could share the amount of money we're talking about, but the American people, Republicans and Democrats.
You're on record saying it's, you believe, north of $50 million.
Yes, 100%.
I do believe that.
Is that for the enterprise or for the Bidens?
Oh, that would be for the Bidens.
That does not include the enterprise.
That is much, a much larger figure.
I mean, the amount of money just in one SARS report was astronomical.
And then there were 170 of those.
The prostitution ring alone was a multi-million dollar enterprise.
And again, I'm called crazy for bringing that up, but come to find out, you know, they were trying to write off the expenses for all these prostitutes on Hunter Biden's tax return.
I mean, you cannot make this stuff up.
All right, quick break more with South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mays on the other side.
Our debate with Matt Gates and Chip Roy over the deal struck with the Freedom Caucus and more moderates in the House.
We'll talk about that, the details of it, and much more as we continue.
800-941-Sean is on number as well.
Come on, man.
It's taken me 47 years to perfect doing nothing.
I had to become president to show you I could do that better than anybody.
Joe Biden's the most dangerous man in America.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
An important role as a parent is to ensure that your kids are as safe as possible when they are at school.
And as a parent, you must ask your child school safety director if they have a Knox entry access system that gets law enforcement into locked doors in case of an emergency.
Firefighters have trusted Knox products as their choice for access since 1975.
And now the Knox entry system for schools is providing law enforcement with the same resources.
You can learn more about Knox Entry at schoolentry.com.
All right, we continue with South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who sits on the very important, very powerful House Oversight Committee.
Do you see discrepancies when you look at, one, Joe Biden's lifestyle?
How do you buy a beach house on a senator's salary and then have other homes and have a stingray Corvette next to your classified and top secret documents in your garage?
Do you see any evidence that their lifestyle and the money that they spent is indicative of way more than they reported to the IRS?
And why hasn't a fairer charge been filed against Hunter Biden?
Exactly.
No, exactly.
I mean, Joe Biden is not an entrepreneur.
Joe Biden is not a businessman, and neither is his son.
And I believe looking at their lifestyle, the way that they lived, and knowing how far a congressional salary goes, it does not go that far unless you're selling out your country in the way that Joe Biden did.
He had no other experience, no other, was not an entrepreneur, wasn't doing anything that would warrant that kind of lifestyle.
And it's evidence is everywhere.
And we have to get Joe Biden's bank records, which is why I supported the impeachment inquiry, because that gives us much greater expansion of subpoena power to be able to go after his financial records.
We've got to get those and share them with the American people so they can see for it with themselves.
All right, Nancy Mace, we really appreciate your time.
Thank you for being with us.
Thank you, Sean.

25 to the top of the hour.
Thank you for being with us, 800-941.
Sean is our number.
Want to remind you, porn, on the tragedy of 9-11-01, 2,977 of our fellow Americans murdered that day.
And the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they've been delivering on their promise to do good, never ever forget the sacrifices of America's greatest heroes, those that put their lives on the line to protect our country and our communities.
Heroes like Bristol, Connecticut Police Sergeant Dustin DeMonte, after responding to a domestic violence incident, he sustained fatal gunshot wounds, leaving behind his expectant wife and two children.
And thanks to the generosity of all of you, without you, they can't do this great work.
Tunnels of Towers was able to pay the mortgage off on the DeMonte family home, lifting them of that financial burden.
And as his loved ones mourned the decorated officers lost, they did welcome a miracle, and that was the child that he sadly would never get to meet.
All these families need our help.
Please help America's heroes and their young families.
Please join all of us here at Team Hannity, and let's put aside 11 bucks a month.
That's what they're asking all of us to commit 11 bucks a month.
You can do so by going to their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean is a number if you want to be a part of the program.
By the way, I am looking forward, Linda, to the debate with Matt Gates and Chip Royb.
We'll see how this unfolds in the next 11 days.
The one thing that I would say is, these guys should have been working in July and August.
That I've been saying privately and publicly.
This is the ongoing problem with our side of the aisle.
You know what I mean?
It's okay to have differing opinions.
It is.
And that's part of what makes America a great individuality.
But the issue is that Democrats don't seem to have the same issues that we have, and that's why they hold all the cards.
I'm going to run through a list of quick stories and I'll get you a quick reaction, okay?
Leo 2.0 Terrell was at a Starbucks.
He's waiting in line.
A guy walks in, starts stealing from the store.
He grabs the guy's bag, took the items away from him, said, I'm calling the police.
The guy said, I don't care.
Police won't show up, which he's probably right about.
And he took action.
He said, I couldn't sit there, stand there.
And, you know, most people wouldn't do this today.
I love Leo.
He's a rock star.
He is.
And the sad part is, is that if he was anybody else, they probably would have given him a hard time.
But because he has the power of the pulpit, he can actually speak and give that, you know, that permission.
I'm surprised they didn't arrest him.
And by the way, I would not blame any one of our listeners that saw this going on and just, you know what?
I don't need to get shot here.
You know, I would tell, I've actually had these conversations with convenience store workers.
Don't die over some guy wanting to steal crap from a convenience store.
Just get out of the way and let them do what they want to do.
That's my advice to them.
I disagree with you.
Oh, we want the guy, some 21-year-old kid behind the counter to get shot because he's fighting a guy.
I want everybody to have a burner.
B-U-I-R-N-A.
And I want them to have a less lethal, a non-lethal self-defense firearm that they can protect themselves.
I think the problem is, is that the criminal issue is that there's no accountability.
I don't blame people for not getting involved in this because most people don't think like we do.
They just don't.
Most people don't have the ability to defend themselves.
Now, this dovetails perfectly into what's going on in Chicago because a lot of their supermarket chains, they have to leave.
They've had to shut down because of all the shoplifting.
All right, so now this new mayor, Brandon Johnson, has the answer.
So they're going to run government-run supermarkets.
And you know, I support and endorse this idea.
You're probably surprised.
You want to know why I support it?
Yes, you're dying to know.
I do know.
I support it because let them discover how it feels to not be able to make money because of all the people robbing you blind.
Let them feel it themselves.
That's what I think.
Yeah, but they won't feel it because if it's a city store, then it's going to be funded by the very tax dollars from the very people who are trying to get the dang food.
That's the problem.
So this attack against, so NBC Chucky Todd got fired as a host to meet the press.
He was god-awful.
There's never been a good Sunday morning host, to be honest, since Tim Russert.
You know, I love Tim Russert.
I love the guy.
He's a great, and he was a Democrat.
But he was friends with you, and he was a more even-minded Democrat.
You know, it was the days of the Reagan Democrats and the Kennedy Republicans.
We were raising money for a charity one day.
He said, don't tell anybody.
Writes me a check for $10,000.
You know, I mean, that's the kind of guy he was.
Chucky Todd was awful.
He's out.
Kristen Welker took his place, and she's literally getting blasted.
L.A. Times, Daily Beast, the hard-hitting news show, The View, for just daring to give Trump a platform.
This is dangerous journalism.
You're letting him speak.
I actually feel sorry for her, but now maybe she'll understand what it means to be part of the liberal media.
Question.
Oh, go ahead.
No, I mean, I think in defense of Kristen Walker, words I never thought I would say, you know, these people that are on these other networks that, you know, live and die by being loved and adored and all this nonsense, they've lost their path in telling the truth.
The idea that you cannot interview somebody because people might not like this person or that person, you know, it's like when you interview Gavin Newsom.
I don't like Gavin Newsome, but you want to interview the other side.
Go ahead.
I mean, I just don't understand why that has to become this sort of like, okay, we're going to ostracize her because you talk to somebody we don't like.
People need to grow up.
Do you know who Marin Morris is?
Not until you asked me about her the other day.
I never heard of her.
Never.
Okay.
I love what?
I love Christian contemporary music.
I love country music.
Those are my two favorite genres.
I'll still like old rock and even 70s tunes.
I kind of can listen to anything.
Okay.
I never heard of her as a country music artist.
Did you?
Because now she's quitting the genre due to the effect of the Trump ears.
You know what this sounds like to me?
Somebody that I didn't know trying to get publicity.
No, she's doing a good job.
It's working.
You know, she's acting like she cares about a certain community that has, you know, the era of the media and the public right now.
And okay, fine.
So go play music for that community then if you don't want to play for the community you're in.
Whatever.
Crime is so bad in D.C. that Congress is distributing tips to avoid being carjacked in the Capitol.
You just can't make this Adam shift up.
You really can't.
Well, there was an article out there.
It was this morning that we've gone up over a half a million dollars in security costs for our elected officials in D.C.
Oh, yeah.
No, they have their own security, like the squad is theirs.
All the defund, dismantled Nobel law politicians, they usually have their own private security paid for by the taxpayers.
The criminals killed us.
Local restaurant closing out in Oakland, California.
Yep.
They were laughing.
A woman viciously beaten in a Seattle area gas station.
We showed this video on Hannity last night.
Out in California, the LA County Sheriff, Robert Luna, a very emotional press conference to announce the suspect arrested in the ambush killing of a 30-year-old deputy by the name of Ryan Klinkenbrumer.
And they never gave our deputy a chance.
I mean, it just makes me sick what's going on.
And you know what?
We're putting up with it.
There's context to that.
The guy is sitting in his patrol car.
He's sitting in the city.
No, he's a city doctor.
He's not in the middle of an interaction, not in the middle of arresting anybody.
He's just sitting there.
And he's murdered in cold blood.
And you know what's funny?
We gave more attention to what happened on the subway with Daniel Penny than we did to any of these police officers or this poor woman that was attacked in this convenience store.
More people would be able to identify Daniel Penny or Jose Alba than this sheriff deputy.
It's sad.
Let me get to our phones.
Let's say hi.
It's Dick in West Virginia.
What's up, sir?
How are you?
Thanks for taking my call, Sean.
First-time caller and long-time listener.
Thank you.
My question that I have, it seems at this point in time that Donald Trump will be our Republican nominee and Joe Biden is going to be our Democratic nominee.
And that's if he makes it to the end of his term.
So my question is, I think that you're going to have your die-hard Trump fans, and you're also going to have your die-hard Biden fans.
So what do you think as far as the independents?
Do you feel like they've had enough of the current administration that if Trump was the nominee that they would vote for Trump versus Joe Biden?
We have to assume that Donald Trump is going to be tried and convicted in at least a couple of these venues that I don't believe he can get a fair trial in.
That would be New York.
That would be D.C.
That would be Fulton County, Georgia.
Okay, you have to assume that.
Now you're asking a question.
If you have a candidate that's got full-on, massive, you know, cognitive decline and it's getting progressively worse, whose policies, there's not one thing you can cite that has worked for the American people versus it's never happened before, a guy that has been convicted of a felony.
Because remember, the trials will take place in the election year in some of these venues.
The appeals where I would argue Donald Trump has a way better chance of prevailing, that won't happen till after the election.
How convenient for them.
Why didn't they charge him earlier?
I think you can make an argument that they designed it that way.
So you have somebody that's in a cognitive mess that doesn't know what day of the week it is, that can't cite a single policy that's been successful and beneficial for we the people and that'll hide in the basement with the help of the media mob versus a guy that for the first time ever was just convicted of a felony.
I don't know how independents will react to that.
I don't.
I think it's completely unfair.
I don't think we have equal justice or equal application of our laws.
We see that with Hunter Biden.
We're hearing it from all these whistleblowers.
But if you're asking me on this date, September 19, 2023, where we'll be a year from now, I have no clue.
And anybody tells you that they do, they don't.
So, you know, assuming it's Biden versus Trump, I don't know.
I don't know the answer.
Pain is a great awakener.
Have the American people awakened to the pain of Biden's energy policies, border policies, defund his mantle policies?
Are they awakening to the fact that our stature around the world has deteriorated to a point I never thought we'd see before?
As president, Donald Trump did a great job.
Will independents be able to overlook that?
I don't know the answer to the question.
Yeah, me.
That's why I was asking you.
Yeah, I wish I had a crystal ball.
I'll tell you that.
Yeah.
Well, the only other thing I wanted to add was I need you to stop picking on Linda because...
I'll stop.
I agree with her.
I think that people should get a burner.
And I think that you should take her up on her offer so that way you can actually have it tested out and she can see how it actually works.
Let me tell you what's going to happen if I took her up on her offer and she gets to fire the burner at me, which we haven't even told the audience about that.
That's not what he's saying just yet.
We could just do Twagget practice.
Twagit practice, say it again, Twagit practice?
No, I'm not talking to you.
I'm going to let the listener is going to defend me now.
Okay, so my point is, I'm a very responsible gun owner.
One of the first rules in gun safety, and this would apply to a burner in my mind.
And that is you never point it at somebody unless you have an intention of using it ever.
But we could do target practice and show the audience how wonderful it does.
I mean, I did one of those very quickly when they were here, and it was pretty funny.
And you were like 10 feet away, and you did hit the target, but you're supposed to shoot for upper body mass, correct?
And where did you hit?
In the no-no spot.
In the no-no spot.
Okay.
I'll tell you what, that perp is going down.
Am I wrong?
You got to be better than the no-no spot.
You got to be better than that.
It's only supposed to disable the person.
So if I'm going to disable him and he goes down to his knees or she goes down.
I'm just saying.
I've been singing your praises because of Manta's accent.
You've become a better shot.
I am just telling you, that's not where you're supposed to hit the person.
Listen, before I would have hit the neighbor's no-no spot.
You know, now I'm going to hit the perp spot.
So it's good.
I can sit out in my backyard.
I got a tree.
I'll mark off 40 feet and I'll hit the same spot.
I'll cluster six burner shots in a row.
I mean, this is not going to be a contest, number one.
Number two, I what again.
Right, but if I'm in that bodega or whatever the case may be and there's drama going down, that guy's not going to be 40 feet from me.
That guy's going to be five feet from me.
Listen, you can actually, if you hit near the person and it opens the projectile with tear gas and pepper spray, let me tell you something.
It's going to have the effect.
Anyway, last word.
We'll give it to you, Dick.
I just want to say thank you for taking my call.
And I agree with you because I actually am going to look into the burner and I've actually been looking through videos.
Yeah, they're pretty impressive, aren't they?
It's pretty cool.
I mean, to watch these guys like tearing up these big, strong guys, it's hilarious.
Yep.
But yeah, I'm going to definitely be looking into that and see what we can do with it and see if I'm interested in moving forward with that.
I'm like, you know, an avid gun enthusiast.
Listen, I have both options available.
Let me put it.
And I have a third option.
You know, I train, you know, with situational self-defense four or five days a week, an hour and a half a day.
So, you know what?
I have experience.
I'd rather run from a battle than ever have to engage anybody ever.
That's my first line of defense.
Even if I look like a coward on video, I would try and run away because I don't ever want to hurt another person, even though they're a perpetrator.
I just don't.
