This is an iHeart podcast.
We're coming, city.
The fall of democracy isn't just part of his past.
It's what he's promising for the future.
He's being straightforward.
He's not hiding the ball.
Trump's not concerned about your future, I promise you.
It does not matter who you are, where you come from, or who your father is, or your last name.
Yes, I'm looking at you, Hunter Biden, as I'm speaking to you.
We have no choice except to refer charges and find Hunter Biden in contempt.
His choice.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome.
Sean Hannity, the new Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour to Sean Hannity Show.
Toll-free, it's 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
A lot of illegal issues emerging that should be disturbing to anybody that follows the rule of law, believes in this constitutional republic, is upset that Joe Biden just absolutely fails to uphold his oath of office when it comes to the specific issue of the border.
You know, they've been outright lying to us.
The borders closed, the border's secure, the borders closed, border secure.
It's not, never has been.
Mayorkas literally is now saying some have accused the Department of Homeland Security of not enforcing our nation's laws.
Could not be further from the truth.
Well, if that's the case, why did they make the changes at the border and remove the Trump policies that were working?
And we're now approaching nearly 10 million illegal immigrants that they have allowed in, mostly unvetted.
And according to even Mayorkas, 85% of them stay without respecting our laws, our borders, and our sovereignty.
But this is what Mayorka said.
Some have accused DHS of not enforcing our nation's laws.
This could not be further from the truth.
Having begun my public service career as a federal prosecutor for 12 years, ultimately serving as a United States attorney, there is nothing I take more seriously than our responsibility to uphold the law.
And the men and women of DHS are working around the clock to do so.
The men and women that can't stand your policies because you've made their job infinitely harder.
And they're the ones that accuse you of not enforcing the laws.
Otherwise, people would not be allowed to cross over in the numbers that they've been crossing over in.
Now, you may remember the hearings last week.
Mayorkis, Mark Green, by the way, saying Mayorkas is the architect for the devastation we have seen the last three years at the border.
I thought that was particularly effective.
Then the Oklahoma Attorney General, Genter Drummond, saying that the ongoing border crisis ensures a never-ending flood of illegal foreign nationals who continue to perpetrate crimes and endanger people.
Anyway, let me play these two cuts, Mark Green and Genter Drummond.
I wish we weren't sitting here today.
I wish these proceedings were not necessary.
I wish our southwest border was secure.
I wish that our government was enforcing the laws passed by the Congress and doing its job to keep the American people safe.
Unfortunately, Secretary Mayorkis has done none of these things.
For almost a year, the House Committee on Homeland Security has conducted a comprehensive investigation into the causes, costs, and consequences of the unprecedented crisis at our southwest border.
Our evidence makes it clear.
Secretary Mayorkis is the architect of the devastation that we have witnessed for nearly three years.
The findings of our investigation, available to the public at homeland.house.gov, coupled with the Secretary's refusal to change course on the reckless decisions facilitating this crisis, have left us with no reasonable alternative than to pursue the possibility of impeachment.
The Secretary's actions have brought us here today, not ours.
The voters of Oklahoma legalized medical marijuana in 2018.
While that legalization led to the legitimate cannabis business-related businesses throughout our state, organized criminals have overtaken the industry.
Our law enforcement partners report that the foreign nationals most often involved in these illegal enterprises come from China and Mexico.
The one thing these criminals have in common is that they have no regard for our laws or public safety.
Criminal, illegal immigrants are not content with growing only black market marijuana.
They also produce and distribute fentanyl, and they engage in sex trafficking and labor trafficking.
Oklahoma's law enforcement community fights a constant battle against these evils.
The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, and scores of local law enforcement agencies deserve much praise for their great and heroic efforts.
While there have been many great successes, the ongoing border crisis ensures a never-ending flood of illegal foreign nationals who continue to perpetrate crimes that endanger our people.
All right, joining us now, we have Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst, host of his own podcast, Leo 2.0 Terrell, Fox News contributor, former civil rights attorney.
Welcome, both of you.
There's a lot of issues involved in the law today.
It's not just, you know, the pending impeachment inquiry into Mayorkas.
I mean, to me, that's the slam dunk, Leo 2.0 Terrell.
I think you're 100% right.
Let me be very clear.
You know, Mayorkis is always a bad man.
He just lied.
He straight up lies.
He never is responsive to the call of any questions that he's asked.
It was a lie for him to tell the whole world that the border is secure.
But I'll tell you right now, he is ground zero for impeachment for one reason, dereliction of duty.
He's basically failing to enforce the law at the border.
As a result, we got millions and millions of illegal aliens in this country because of his dereliction duty.
The only concern I have, Sean, really, is whether or not we'll get at least 218 Republicans, if you call them Republicans, to vote for impeachment.
Because there needs to be a stain on his career, a stain on his record, and the fact that he has basically abandoned his job duties as Secretary of Homeland Security.
Well, let's get your take, Greg Jarrett.
To me, you know, I know a lot of people have fixated on an impeachment inquiry of Mayorkis, but isn't this Joe Biden's policy?
Shouldn't the buck stop with him?
Sure.
You know, failure to faithfully execute the laws of the United States, you know, violating his oath to defend the Constitution and the American public, unnecessarily putting Americans in danger and doing so willfully and actively by refusing to enforce the border, but more importantly, refusing to enforce the law and to apply the law.
I mean, the law exists that it is a crime to come into the United States illegally, but there are no prosecutions.
And instead, you know, during the campaign in 2020, Joe Biden encouraged people to come to the United States illegally, cross without permission.
And, you know, on day one, he opened up the border because he was determined to reverse everything that Donald Trump did.
Having said all of that, you know I'm against the idea of impeaching Joe Biden during an election year.
That would be election interference, in my judgment, depriving voters of the choice.
All right.
Well, how is that any different than holding up to four potential criminal trials against Donald Trump?
I'm not sure all four happen this year, but I got to imagine one or two might happen.
It's the same thing, and that's what I've been arguing against.
These are political prosecutions, weak cases, tainted cases, and they were brought for the sole purpose of interfering in the election.
So, you know, I'm against these prosecutions against Trump and equally on the same grounds against impeachment during an election year of Joe Biden.
We have two prosecutors.
In one case, we have the Attorney General in the state of New York, that being Leticia James, and then we have Fannie Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney.
And we're learning new information on both of them.
Now, remember, you know, they both went out and actually campaigned on the idea of getting one man, one family, one organization.
That's Donald Trump, the Trump family, the Trump organization.
But now we're getting dates and times, if you go to whitehouse.gov, of how many times Letitia James was at the Biden White House.
And a lot of people are wondering, huh, could there have been some type of coordination with people in the White House?
Because it's not the only time that this has happened.
We know that Fannie Willis apparently was coordinating.
Messenger pointing out that committee staff of the January 6th Committee were reportedly aiding Georgia prosecutors in their probe of Donald Trump and lawyers and agents employed by Fulton County District Attorney Fanny Willis were meeting with staffers of the J6 committee in mid-April 2022 as Willis was preparing her special grand jury investigation at the meeting previously unreported.
January 6th committee staff allowed the DA's attorneys to review a limited selection of their findings but not keep it.
In other words, they were feeding them information and aiding and abetting and assisting.
Now things have gotten a lot more complicated because Fannie Willis' boyfriend, a guy that since 2022 earned more than $650,000 in legal fees just on this Trump case in Fulton County, whether or not there are ethics violations and what should happen should this case be put on hold.
Does this show political bias on the part of either Letitia James or either Fannie Willis?
We'll ask you first on this one, Greg Jarrett.
Yes, to both those questions.
You know, funneling county money to your amorous partner and then sharing the financial fruits for extravagant vacations.
What is that under the law?
Leo can tell you it's misappropriation of public funds.
It's honest services fraud.
These two, Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade, appear to have been profiting significantly from their prosecution against Trump at the expense of taxpayers.
You know, I have a column out.
I liken it to a steamy harlequin romance, a secret lover, luxury twist financed by taxpayer dollars.
And together they're plotting to elevate her career by destroying a political opponent, Donald Trump, seeking to retake the White House.
It is filled with unethical behavior that I think in the end would demand a dismissal of charges and probably an investigation of Fannie Willis and whether she should be sanctioned or disbarred.
Your thoughts, Leo 2.0 Terrell.
Do you agree with Greg?
Oh, I agree with Greg 100%.
Let me just add some other additional facts.
When you talk about Letitia James, you could play a montage, Sean, of her audio comments, video and audio on the record.
I'm out to get Trump.
I'm going to get Trump.
This is back in 2017 when she was running for the office, 2018.
She didn't have any specific charges, but she was going to go out and get Trump.
She made numerous admissions.
That is a motivation that was purely political, not legal.
And these charges that Donald Trump is facing in New York, these outrageous charges, no one has ever been charged.
There's no victim.
These charges are bogus directed solely at Donald Trump.
And the timing of these charges, yeah, election interference.
The motivation is very simple.
The strangest part of this New York civil case is the judge is still clinging to this ridiculous valuation of Mar-a-Lago at $18 million.
It's insane.
Yeah, that is going to be challenged on the appellate level.
Thank goodness the appellate court put a stay on a receivership of all of Trump's holdings.
I can guarantee you the last chapter have not been written on this Trump civil case.
It's going to be reversed because this judge has abused his discretion on applying the law in that case, Sean.
All right, quick break more with attorneys Leo 2.0 Terrell and Greg Jarrett.
Then your call's coming up, 800-941-Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, we continue now with Greg Jarrett and Leo 2.0 Terrell talking about all these legal conflicts of interest or coordination, whatever you want to call it.
Well, here's Letitia James.
She ran to get one man, one family, one organization.
And I think you can look at a lot of this as her just fulfilling a campaign promise.
Listen.
I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president when our fundamental rights are at stake.
I believe that the president of these United States can be indicted for criminal offenses.
Will you sue him for us?
That man in the White House.
We can't go a day without threatening our fundamental rights.
Yes, we need to focus on Donald Trump and his abuses.
We need to follow his money.
We need to find out where he's laundered money.
We need to find out whether or not he's engaged in conspiracy.
It's important that everyone understand that the days of Donald Trump are coming to an end.
I look forward to going into the office of Attorney General every day and suing him, defending your rights, and then going home.
Wow.
I guess that's just a campaign promise made and kept.
Greg Jarrett.
Yeah, look, it's the duty of a prosecutor to see that justice is done dispassionately, neutrally, objectively, not to target an individual for partisan political reasons.
And that campaign, those collections of campaign speeches underscore that Letitia James has egregiously violated the canons of ethics.
That's disbarable, except if you're in California and New York.
So if you're a Democrat, you know, you get a get out of jail free card.
Look, Leo's right.
When she made those statements, condemning Trump as a criminal, she had no access to any evidence.
She wasn't a part of the Attorney General's office at the time.
She was running for the office.
She had seen no files, no evidence, but she preordained an outcome for purely political reasons and personal reasons to advance her career.
And indeed, she was elected.
Well, anyway, I appreciate both of you.
We're going to watch very closely.
I think the American people get it, which is why, in spite of what everybody imagined would happen, that this would stop Donald Trump, just the opposite is happening.
It seems to be increasing the intensity of support for him more than anything else.
Thank you both.
Happy New Year, guys.
Appreciate it.
Be sure to check in as soon as you get to your car after work for breaking information you need to know about.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Hi, 25 to the top of the hour, 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, I want to remind you, if you don't have, in this day and age, with all the crime and defund dismantled, no bail laws and reimagining police departments, if you don't have a personal security plan for you and your family, you definitely need one.
Well, that's where Burner comes in.
Yes, I am and always have been a believer in the Second Amendment, but I also love technology and I love new options.
The thing about Burner is they've got an effective tool that should be part of everybody's security plan, a non-lethal option in the right circumstances.
If you have both options, you know what?
You take the option that might be appropriate, but which might be less lethal, but you can protect your family, incapacitated perpetrators.
Somebody breaks into your house, wants to bring harm to you, your kids, your family, or your business, maybe your employees.
Anyway, it just works.
Burner launchers are simply amazing.
They've got shotgun shells and you could use your own, you know, 12-gauge.
You just put it in there like you would a regular shotgun shell.
And, you know, you can hit people from a pretty long distance away.
We've got videos that you need to watch.
They're at burnerbyrna.com slash Hannity.
They have the new Mission 4 rifle.
And, of course, the Burner handgun comes in a variety of colors, even yellow, pink, and orange and camouflage, even red, white, and blue, and the traditional black color.
But it doesn't matter what color it is.
It's effective because it shoots a projectile that releases on contact two pepper sprays and tear gas, and it will incapacitate even the largest perpetrator possible and give you an opportunity to escape, call the police, get the help you need, and save lives.
Anyway, you got to have, you know, you don't want that one what-if moment to happen and not be prepared.
Take a look at the video, see how effective this technology is.
Go to their website.
You're going to be blown away.
It's burner, B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Hannity.
That's B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Hannity.
Go there today.
Now, let's play.
I just, this Chris Christie debacle yesterday, because you know that Chris Christie, he was being pressured by New Hampshire Governor Sununu to get out of the race in the hope that, you know, his anti-Trump voters would make a switch and probably assuming that they would go to Nikki Haley.
And anyway, so, but prior to him making that announcement, he had a hot mic moment, not very complimentary of Nikki Haley.
Listen.
People don't want to hear it, Wayne.
They don't want to hear it.
We know we're right, but they don't want to hear it.
And we couldn't have been any clearer.
We couldn't have been any more director, worked any harder.
And let's not forget she spent 68 movies.
Oh, and you're good land of China and places like that.
Yeah, that's what you get.
Yeah, I mean, look, she spent $68 million so far.
It's just on TV.
Spent $68 million so far.
$59 million by DeSantis.
And we spent $12 million.
I mean, who's punching above their weight and who's getting a return on their investment, you know?
And she's going to get smoked.
And you and I both know it.
She's not up to this.
She hasn't even been challenged.
She's still 20 points behind Trump in Nova Show, right?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And he's going to carry out the fight.
Yes.
I talked to DeSantis called me.
Petrified that I would.
He's probably getting out of half.
All right.
And that was, they didn't know they were hot.
And that all went out there.
Oh, I'm not going to endorse anybody else.
How do you endorse somebody after getting caught saying that in private?
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Casey in the free state of Florida.
Casey is a liberal.
What's up, Liberal Casey?
How are you?
Happy New Year.
Hey, listen, welcome aboard, Hannity.
Oh, thank you for welcoming me to my own show.
I am very grateful.
Well, listen, you know, but listen, I just want a question with you and the rest of these MAGAs.
The world saw what happened on January 6th.
They saw the gallow that you MAGA's made.
You guys want to hang Mike Dents?
The oath keepers and the crowd boys are slow down.
Let me ask you a question.
We also saw what these radical leftist groups did in the summer of 2020.
Do you associate every Democrat with those people that were involved in 574 riots?
Do you apply the same standards?
Dozens of Americans were dead, thousands of cops pelted with bricks, rocks, bottles, Molotov cocktails, thousands injured, billions in property damage.
Do you associate Democrats that were calling them mostly peaceful protests?
Do you hold them as accountable for the actions of some on those 574 occasions?
Or do you just try to winnow down the riots that take place to one because you can use it for political purposes?
I just want to know if you apply your standards equally.
BLM is not a party, and BLM is not a Democratic Party.
Excuse me, it was bigger than BLM.
It was Antifa.
And you did have your vice president.
You know, Kamala Harris was tweeting out after that Minneapolis precinct was burned to the ground, a bail fund for people involved in some of the incidents out there.
You do know that, right?
Right.
And you do understand Antifa and the people.
And was she pushing insurrection when she did that?
And all the Democrats that were, their silence was deafening, or their support and lying and saying it was mostly peaceful.
Was the summer of 2020 peaceful protests or those riots to you?
That was because of the rampant police brutality problem we have in this country.
Oh, so you're making an excuse for the riots on the left.
That's what you're saying?
Yes, that's exactly because.
No, those riots are justified in your mind.
Yes, because we had a police brutality problem in this country.
So the two dozen dead Americans in the summer of 2020 and the thousands of injured cops hit with bricks, rocks, bottles, and Molotov cocktails.
You justify that too.
Well, you had no problem on January 6th when you beat up cops on the street.
No, no, no, no.
I'm asking you the questions now.
I'm asking if you apply the same standards.
You're perfectly okay with people on the left that were protesting and people in the media and Democrats saying something that was totally false, which was these were peaceful protests.
Yeah.
It might not be peaceful protests, but it brought awareness to our police brutality problem that we had in this country.
So you're saying that the 574 riots were a good thing.
Yes, it was because it brought awareness to that police brutality problem we had under Trump.
That's really sick because you know what?
Unlike you, I don't make broad sweeping generalizations.
I don't blame every Democrat for the actions of the people rioting in the summer of 2020.
Now, I also, as a mixed martial artist, or a student of the arts, have said that what happened in the George Floyd case never should have happened.
You know, you cannot take a handcuffed man and put your knee on their neck and push it into the cement without risking killing him, which is what happened.
So I was one that spoke out against it.
The difference between you and me, I think those people that riot are wrong.
On this program on January 6th, 2021, in real time, we condemn the riots at the Capitol, just like we condemned that night on TV what had happened that day, just like we condemned the 574 riots.
The difference between you and me, though, is you're just not consistent.
And you justify riots, property damage, hurling bricks, rocks, bottles, Molotov cocktails at cops, Kamala Harris supporting them.
You support those that lied and said they were peaceful when our own eyes showed us something differently.
You know, you're a pretty sick guy, Casey.
Hate to tell you.
You're not somebody that's consistent intellectually.
You're not intellectually honest.
You're just a political hack.
Well, your employer, Fox News, lied to you.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I don't want to hear about you justifying your inconsistencies and your rationalization for rioting as a means to attack me or my employer because I don't support rioting.
You're talking to me.
I don't support it under any circumstances.
The difference is you justify rioting on your side and you want to only selectively talk about one riot and justify 574 riots.
Well, amazing.
You know what?
The mind of a liberal.
It's a fascinating thing to listen to occasionally.
Let's go to Arkansas.
Mike, you're next.
Sean Hannity Show.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
Thank you for calling.
Before me.
Wow.
Anyway, my comment today is I understand how a lot of folks are very frustrated with the fact that Biden has not been impeached yet.
I would rather they take their time and send evidence to the Senate that there is just absolutely no way they can't convict him just to show when the Democrats don't how truly pathetic they are.
And that's all I have to say.
Well, the Democrats are truly pathetic.
I don't think there's any doubt about it.
And I think the Democrats, you know, are doing a horrible job for the country.
The damage is deep, and it's going to take a lot to get out of the hole that they've dug for us.
It's possible.
I don't know what this country will look like.
God forbid if they got four more years.
It would be a disaster to me.
Stephen, next, Sean Hannity Show in Texas, the free state of Texas.
What's up, Stephen?
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, Sean.
I just want to say thanks for letting us all come on your show.
You're a great American.
Appreciate what you do.
Thank you, my friend.
Thanks for all you do.
What's on your mind?
Well, I've just been watching the election campaigns and everything, and I'm just wondering one thing.
Whenever Democrats are up here doing their thing, whenever they're on the big screen with everybody on the stage, no matter how immoral their views are on a lot of things, they always stick together thick as thieves.
They're never destroying each other.
But it seems to me like whenever you get more than one Republican on a stage together and there's a camera in front of them, everything seems to turn into a circular firing squad.
It just diminishes everybody's credibility whenever all they should be doing is supporting the outright frontrunner, who is the legitimate President Trump, who is going to be running again at the end of all this debacle.
I mean, he's the most persecuted presidential political opponent in American history, and everybody is too busy trashing each other and Trump versus pointing out all the horrible things that has happened under the Biden administration.
I mean, they've destroyed immigration, energy, the military, let's see here, the Keystone pipeline.
They destroyed that.
We've probably got sleeper cells in America just waiting to be activated.
Human trafficking is exploding right now.
I mean, there's nothing that's going to get better if the Democrats stay in control.
And I mean, what can we do to get our elected officials to act more affirmly other than just pinning a strongly worded letter to the Democrats to actually get something done?
Well, I think the Democrats kind of like it this way because what they get is their big spending, their open borders, their radicalism, their climate alarmism agenda passed and shove it down our throat.
And this is all the stuff that's going to be on the ballot next year.
Law and order, safety, security, the border, you know, Bidenomics, inflation.
It's all going to be there.
Anyway, I appreciate you calling my friend.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Back to our phones.
Charles is in North Carolina.
Charles, hey, how are you?
Glad you called.
Happy New Year, sir.
You too, my friend.
Listen, I've got to kind of figure it out here.
If Biden is exonerated and Trump is exonerated from all charges, then guess what?
We get back to the campaign, period.
That's it.
Ain't going to happen, but nice try.
I mean, Democrats don't have anything that they can really talk about.
I mean, think about this.
I understand.
They can't talk about the borders.
They can't talk about the economy.
They can't talk about foreign policy.
They can't talk about law and order.
I can't name a single program that they're implementing that is working.
Can you?
No, not really.
But I thought, you know, that would be the easier way to get around things.
But like you said, when the dogs are barking and they don't want to stop, they're going to keep barking, you know?
I hear you, man.
Good call.
Happy New Year.
Thanks, Charles.
Mike in California.
Mike, you're on the Sean Hannity Show.
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
Great to have a chance to talk to you.
Thank you.
I have a question about the border.
And that is, in view of the burisma situation and what happened there, and since there's no logical sense to the border policies, has anyone looked into the possibility that the Biden family is receiving money from the cartels?
I haven't thought of it, but now that you mention it, I'm like, well, they made a lot of money with Mexico, that's for sure.
That was one of the countries.
Romania and Kazakhstan and Ukraine and Russia and China, and they did all these other deals.
Who knows?
Look, I think this is a matter of policy.
I think Democrats, if they are viewed as the party that is willing to aid in a bet in the lawbreaking that would ultimately leave if they have their way to a mass amnesty, then I'm sure that they would look people in the eye and say, you wouldn't be here but for us.
We hope you'll vote for us.
Now, I support immigration.
I support legal immigration.
I support people being vetted before they come into our country.
We need to know they don't have radical backgrounds and associations.
We need to know that they're healthy.
We need to know they won't be a financial burden on the taxpayers.
Once you meet those standards, I don't care where you come from.
Welcome to America.
But do it legally.
Republicans are the party of law and order, and this is lawlessness out of control and a president that refuses to uphold his oath to the Constitution.
That's how I see it.
But I think that the additional factor of the cartels kind of running loose and uncontrolled down there brings up that question.
They're making millions every week in human trafficking, drug trafficking.
They're making a fortune.
And you know what?
We know how to stop them because Trump was able to stop them.
They don't want to stop them.
