Sean covers the latest on evidence that suggests Hunter Biden was on crack while purchasing hand guns. Add this to the growing list of how corrupt Biden activities. It'll be interesting to see how big tech and the liberal left spin this news!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I really think this is time now for everybody, our country, to come together.
We want to come together.
Whether it's Republican or Democrat.
Because of your support, in spite of all of that that they threw at us, everyone against us, we've got our ticket punched out of Iowa.
I can safely say tonight, I would make this Republican primary a two-person race.
T-minus 291 days left till the presidential election.
Yeah, we're coming!
Coast to coast to shining sea, Shawty is coming.
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon.
Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free number.
It is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, ongoing hearings.
You know, I honestly am very proud of this family.
They are, you know, they're actually suing the federal government, rightly so.
You have the family of a 20-year-old girl slain in 2022.
They're filing a $100 million wrongful death lawsuit, arguing, and I hope successfully, that the Biden administration caught, released an illegal immigrant who had brutally raped and strangled her with a phone cord.
Authorities later figured out that the suspect had MS-13 ties at the time, that he snuck into Biden's open borders.
He was still caught, but released because of Joe Biden's open borders.
And by the way, Alejandro Mayorkas, who Republicans now are in the process of an impeachment inquiry, wouldn't even meet with these angel families, wouldn't sit next to them, didn't want to hear a word from them.
Anyway, I think this will probably be the first of many lawsuits.
So we'll have coverage of that coming up later in the program today.
We've got a budgetary mess.
And, you know, I don't know what to tell you.
Republicans have a two-vote majority.
And there are really two issues that I would think that every Republican can unite on.
And that would be the border being secure and stopping the deficit and debt building of the federal government, especially under Joe Biden.
I'm sorry, $2 trillion more dollars last year alone.
It just, it is too much.
We cannot survive with all of this as a country.
You know, that means this year alone, we're going to, before we pay a penny for our defense, before we pay a penny out of Social Security, Medicare, a penny into any government program and into any government agency, you first have to pay the trillion dollars just to pay the interest on our debt.
It's unsustainable.
You know, we're headed down the road of Venezuela and Argentina, 200% inflation rate.
It's pretty unbelievable.
Now, by the way, one update, 14 House Democrats did join with Republicans to condemn the nearly 10 million unvetted Biden illegal immigrants.
And I'll tell you, between fentanyl deaths and deaths like the one I just mentioned to you and the crimes being committed and the costs associated with Joe Biden's open borders to pay for food and housing and health care and education and law and order.
I mean, it is costing this country in these states.
Every state is now a border state.
Every town is now a border town.
But now 14 Democrats have joined Republicans condemning Biden's open border policies.
And unfortunately, you know, we're going to end up with another CR, it looks like, because we can't get enough Republicans to stand strong on the two issues that have to be, I mean, a minimum 80-20, meaning 80% support from the American people, or 90-10, 90% of Americans would support secure borders.
It's that simple.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean is on number.
By the way, this was a little interesting intrigue I saw today.
I'll pass this on to you before we get to our top stories of the day.
You know, I always love Mike Pompeo.
I think he's an adult.
I think he really understands how to deal with America's enemies.
That means President Xi, Kim Jong-un.
That means, you know, people like Vladimir Putin.
That means the mullahs of Iran.
Anyway, some information in Pompeo's White House memoir last year from early last year deserves a little bit of attention right now, especially as we're heading to New Hampshire next week, especially in regards to Nikki Haley.
At the time, Pompeo's comments about Haley were deemed newsworthy enough to generate a pretty fair amount of coverage.
And he claimed in that memoir that Nikki Haley apparently plotted with Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka, and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Now, I've not called them to confirm this.
I'm just saying this upfront, but Mike Pompeo, I've known him since he was a congressman, CIA director, always found him to be a straight shooter that, you know, apparently wanted to be Trump's vice president.
There's a huge fight going on behind the scenes over who's going to be Trump's vice president.
I'm not going to get into it now.
At least Tafonic's name comes up quite a bit lately.
Been hearing her.
I hear names like Tim Scott, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, a friend of this program, a guy I like very much.
That very smart, very, very, very strong conservative in every way imaginable.
I don't know how many of you may remember this.
You may not remember this.
Linda, you might even not remember this.
Remember how big a story it was when George Herbert Walker Bush was going through the checkout line at a grocery store, and he was stunned that you scan the items and the price comes up on the item.
Remember how big a deal that was?
I remember the story.
It is definitely before my time, but yes, I do remember the story.
It's definitely before my time, Hannity.
You're an old man.
I didn't say it like that.
No, you did.
You said it.
It's like, you know what?
Like telling me if I drink that shake of yours that I was going to get heavy because it has 360 calories.
You actually said that to me.
I believe that's projection, but sure.
It's a projection.
I thought it was, I couldn't believe all that crap.
You tell me it's healthy.
And I'm like, 360 calories, you drink eight of these a day.
First of all, you drink two a day.
Second of all, you have juices on the side.
Total calorie intake with everything you're doing is like 600 to 800 calories.
Okay, we're talking about my daily limit of about 1,000.
Anyway, Corine Jean-Pierre dodged a reporter's questions about Biden being surprised at the cost of a $6 smoothie when he was in Allentown, Pennsylvania, instead of directing the topic to small business owners starting with their own businesses.
Now, I'm just telling you this because I promise you that if, in fact, this was Donald Trump, and by the way, I doubt either one of them have been in a grocery store recently.
And I understand probably why not because they're public figures.
I'm a public figure.
I've been at Fox.
I'm in my 28th year.
I get recognized without exception every time I go to any store.
I don't mind being recognized.
I'm grateful every night.
And I tell people, thank you for watching.
Thank you for listening.
But anyway, you know, Edward Lawrence over at Fox Business asked Corrine Jean-Pierre last Friday.
The president was at a coffee shop in Pennsylvania and was surprised that the smoothie was six bucks and how expensive it was.
So is the president now realizing the real Bidenomics?
He didn't say it that way.
He said now realizing the cost that Americans are bearing.
And she explained, well, when he went over to you all to the press corps, he was having a good time, right?
And he offered, you know, offered to buy them coffee.
And there was a big group there.
And he made sure everyone got coffee and pastries.
So I just want to make that very, very clear.
And then Lawrence asked the question again.
You know, how did Joe Biden not know it was a $6 smoothie?
I mean, I can tell you that my grocery bill is at least 25% higher than it used to be, even now, in spite of all of their proclamations that the economy is going so well.
It's not going well.
And Americans know it's not going well.
The special prosecutor, David Weiss, now understand this special prosecutor, to me, is a special pleader.
He has no credibility with me.
He was the guy that wanted to give Hunter Biden a pass on everything.
And now we know, by the way, that the FBI had cocaine, a residual cocaine in his gun holster when that gun was found in a dumpster.
But this is the guy that wanted no charges at all.
Then we hear from the whistleblowers.
The whistleblowers then result in, uh-oh, we've got to do something.
Then they came up with a sweetheart deal with no jail time.
And then the judge in Delaware asked the defense, have you ever seen a plea agreement like this before?
Buried deep in the plea agreement.
You know, is, you know, the special exception made for Hunter's gun charge?
Oh, no, Your Honor, we've never seen a deal like this before.
Then why are you handing it to me?
Which is now leading to charges.
And then, of course, the dispute between Merritt Garland and David Weiss over whether or not David Weiss had charging authority in other jurisdictions like D.C. and California, which, by the way, the same David Weiss that allowed the statute of limitations to pass on taxes not paid during the very lucrative burisma years.
Anyways, released the detailed evidence that Hunter Biden was in the throes of a serious crack addiction at the time he illegally purchased that handgun.
So now the prosecutor's citing text from Hunter's laptop to prove that he bought a firearm while addicted to crack.
Well, they knew about that when, remember, the FBI was investigating, well, meeting with big tech corporations weekly, you know, Twitter, Facebook, all of them, before the 2020 election, warning them they may be victims of the disinformation campaign, and it may be about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.
Well, they knew that Rudy had the laptop.
Rudy's lawyer had the laptop.
They knew it was going to be leaked, and it was to the New York Post.
And they knew it was real.
They had verified its authenticity.
So then Facebook and Twitter, at least we know those two companies said, is this disinformation or is this real?
And the FBI wouldn't answer.
In one phone call, they kind of answered, yeah, it's real, and then that person got taken off the case.
Anyway, the daddy warbucks of the Biden administration, this guy, Kevin Morris, is testifying before Congress today.
We might know more by the end of the program.
And anyway, he's the guy that apparently bought a lot of the artwork, what we affectionately call portraits of a crack addict of Hunter Biden.
And he's the guy that also gave the $5 million in loans to Hunter.
More than two-thirds of likely voters now support the House GOP's Biden impeachment investigation.
And by the way, that they should.
But this, what's going to be interesting to see, and we haven't heard yet, how many of these people around the Bidens are going to plead the fifth?
That's what I want to know.
But the DOGJ further acknowledging Hunter's laptop is real.
Why didn't they tell the American people?
Why did they not confirm that for the big tech companies?
That you know, if they would have confirmed and allowed the American people to see that Hunter's laptop was real and go through it with a fine-tooth comb in the weeks before the 2020 election, there's no way Joe Biden would have been elected president.
And polls, by the way, have confirmed that.
The laptop was self-authenticating with selfies taking my Hunter Biden.
You can't say they were AI generated.
That's for sure.
That corroborated dates, times, places.
It was all easily verified.
Emails, texts.
Now we know that Joe had these secret emails.
We have the National Archives and Records Administration.
They don't want to hand it over to the committees investigating all of this.
Hunter Biden prosecutors, yeah, cocaine was on the gun pouch that he bought it when he bought the gun illegally while addicted to drugs.
That's their argument.
It's pretty unbelievable.
But that's, you know, that's the benefit of having the last name Biden.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
We've got a lot of other news to get to today.
We will get it all in.
That I can promise you.
And also, Donald J. Trump, the president, will be on Hannity tonight, 9 Eastern, his first interview since his big win in Iowa.
So we look forward to having him on tonight.
Hope you'll tune in.
Set your DVR.
9 Eastern.
By the way, JP, Morgan CEO, Jamie Diamond, actually has given good advice to Democrats.
Not that I think they'll follow him.
Now, he's a big donor to Democrats.
He's not a conservative.
He's not a Republican.
He said, don't dismiss Trump supporters as people who are exclusively attracted to his personality.
And he pointed out, rightly so, that Trump was right on big issues.
And he said, in fact, he was right about very critical issues.
I wish the Democrats would think a little more carefully when they talk about MAGA.
He went on to say, this was at a forum at this ridiculous globalist forum.
By the way, later on, I'll tell you what the Argentina president said about capitalism and liberty and freedom and how people shouldn't surrender and nor should you apologize for making money or producing better products at better prices that contribute to the general well-being of people.
Anyway, Diamond goes on to say that he's clashed with Trump in the past and described himself as barely a Democrat, said basically scapegoating Trump supporters.
He said, take a step back and be honest.
He was right about NATO.
He was right about immigration.
He grew the economy well.
Tax reform worked.
He went on to say that Trump was right about his criticism of China.
He said, I don't like how he said the things about Mexico, referring to his 2015 announcement, but he wasn't wrong about some of the critical issues, and that's why people are voting for him.
Actually, not bad advice for Democrats, not that they're smart enough to listen.
By the way, this was not good news on FoxNews.com.
U.S. real estate market will be very ugly next year.
The CEO of Canter Fitzgerald said $700 billion in defaults are coming.
Yikes.
Thanks a lot, Joe, for the high interest rates because of your inflation.
Holding them accountable.
Sean gets the answers no one else does.
America deserves to know the truth about Congress.
25 to the top of the hour.
Thank you for being with us.
Our toll-free numbers, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I know people don't really pay attention to a lot of what's going on in the world.
You know, I can say this, having been on radio now 34 years, I've never been more deeply concerned about the state of this country, the policies that are being implemented in this country,
nor have I been more concerned about the state of the world as Joe Biden has completely abdicated his role as an American president leading the world.
This chaos that is now basically unfolding all across the globe, you can tie it directly to Joe Biden and his weakness.
And we're going to see a lot more, probably this year alone.
You know, if you anything to do with the Bidens in China, do you really trust?
Do you really trust that the Bidens aren't compromised?
Do you really think zero experience Hunter, the guy admitting on Good Morning America that had no experience in energy, oil, gas, coal, but yet he's doing the deal with Burisma after his father fires the prosecutor so he can continue to be paid with no experience at a time that he's addicted to drugs?
Really?
That sounds perfectly normal to every Democrat listening to this program.
That sounds like a normal business day.
I'm sure if Donald Trump did it, ooh, it'd be complaints.
Well, Donald Trump had hotel rooms and people from China stayed in them.
I'm like, oh, did you think as president he was getting a list of every person that showed up at his hotels or that was buying one of his apartments?
I don't think so.
And there's no comparison.
This is a direct action taken by then Vice President Joe Biden that benefited his son Hunter.
Then the WhatsApp message, that was to the CEFC, that's the Chinese oil conglomerate.
You know, I'm sitting here with my father, and why haven't you followed through on your promise?
And between everybody he knows and my ability to hold a grudge, you're going to regret it.
We're waiting for your call.
We're sitting here waiting for your call.
Meaning him and Pops.
You know, five days later, amazing.
$5 million ends up in a bank account, one of the shell corporations.
But there's never any consequences for China.
No consequences for confronting our jets in international airspace, our Navy and international waterways.
No consequences for confronting Taiwan and flying all over their airspace in a hostile manner.
No consequences for the spy balloon.
No consequences for COVID.
Nothing.
Because Joe doesn't have the guts to stand up to them.
Probably because the Chinese have a dossier on the Bidens that's, you know, probably thousands of pages of information that I'm sure the country would love to see.
But anyway, it looks like Joe's financial benefactors in Beijing may be getting ready to launch a new COVID pandemic.
This ought to scare the hell out of everybody.
In a Wuhan-style study, Chinese scientists are now experimenting with a mutant COVID-19 strain that is 100% lethal to humanized mice.
All right.
It's killing every mouse.
Doesn't mean it would kill every human, but certainly doesn't sound good.
Deadly virus known as GXP2V attacked the brains of the mice that were engineered to reflect a genetic makeup similar to human beings, according to a study shared last week out of Beijing.
It underscores the spillover risk that this virus into humans provides a unique model for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of the SARS-CoV-related viruses.
This is great.
I wonder if Anthony Fauci knew about this.
Look at every place in the world.
Look what's going on.
You got the Iran-backed Houdi rebels have now responded to Joe Biden's decision to re-designate them as global terrorists because a U.S.-owned ship in the Gulf of Aden came under attack Wednesday from a bomb-carrying drone launched by Yemen's Houdi rebels.
That attack represented the second in recent days targeting vessels directly linked to America after Joe's little baby pinprick strikes, you know, maybe killed five people.
They acted like it was the biggest deal.
Then we have the Iran-backed Hamas barbarians beheading, literally beheading, an IDF soldier and then trying to sell his head for $10,000 as his head was later found inside a freezer in Gaza, stashed inside a duffel bag with tennis balls.
So whenever you hear these Israel bashing Democrats like Bernie Sanders or the squad or Congresswoman Tlaib or, you know, you hear about Joe Biden hanging up on Bibi Netanyahu because Bibi is committed to winning their war against terror after the worst terror attack on their soil.
The father of an Israeli soldier told reporters his 19-year-old son killed in Gaza.
Hamas terrorists decapitated him and tried to sell his head for 10 grand.
You should see the tapes that I've seen.
By the way, taken by Hamas themselves.
I'd love to be able to air this one day.
Some of you might not be able to watch it because these are images that are not easily erased from your brain.
If you've ever watched a decapitation, a real one, if you've ever watched, you know, what ISIS did, I'm telling you, those memories never leave you, but it does instill in you a real understanding that evil exists.
Now we have Iran launching a missile attack against Pakistan.
Joe's burying his head in the sand.
Iran, you know, the same, by the way, the same Joe Biden that opened up the world markets and turned a blind eye to Iran now selling their oil again, making them rich so that can foment more terror for the number one state sponsor of terror, then wanted to give them $6 billion, eventually signing off on $10 billion in payments from Iraq to Iran.
I mean, he's out of his mind.
Why are you facilitating the number one state sponsor of terror?
And by the way, now we learn, too, the Biden administration announced earlier yesterday was that it designating the Houdi rebels as specially designated global terrorists, far weaker than the designation of a foreign terrorist organization that the group had under the Trump administration.
Remember, three years ago, it was Joe Biden that took away their terrorist designation.
Why?
They never stop committing acts of terror.
Top Senate leftist Bernie Sanders moves to defund Israel's military.
Really?
You know, after footage is available of a Hamas gunman sawing at the necks of dead Israelis?
Really?
We're just going to and then pressuring Israel not to win the war.
Israel needs to win the war.
You know, I know, and I'm part of this group.
I don't want America's involvement in every foreign conflict.
But all Israel is asking for is our moral support, and they're even willing to pay for the weapons we provide them, unlike Ukraine.
And that's all they've been asking.
And they were there for us after 9-11-01.
But I'll tell you, at some point, somebody better understand that if Iran ever gets nuclear weapons, Alan Dershowitz and Andrew Stein have a peace.
Please widen.
They say that's not wisdom.
It's a short-term band-aid on a festering infection.
Iran sees it as an invitation to continue attacking us, our allies, through their wholly owned proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houdis, and increasingly now Iraq, over 200 attacks against American soldiers.
The only real winner in the fighting since October 7th has been Iran.
Without losing many soldiers or material resources, the Mullahs have directly and indirectly infected, inflicted rather considerable damage on America and our allies, and they are laughing all the way to the bank as they profit from the regional instability and commercial shipping hurdles that they themselves have deliberately caused.
The world is going to have to have a reckoning of Iran.
And I'll tell you what it's going to take.
And I'm not advocating for a foreign conflict.
But if the world doesn't take out their refinery so they can't make money to foment more terrorism, and if they don't take out those nuclear sites before they get nuclear weapons, they may be as close to 60 to 90 days away, according to people I've spoken to.
It will be the world, as my mother used to say, will rule the day.
The world has a chance to unite and prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.
Those are the two things you got to do.
What's Iran going to do anyway?
Destroy the military while you're at it.
Take away their money, take away their nuclear program, and it's all over.
We don't have to worry about the marriage between the radical Mullahs and Iran being, you know, having the power of nuclear weapons.
And I'll tell you why they can't have them, because they're crazy enough to use them.
And if you don't believe that, you don't understand the mullahs of Iran.
Squad lawmakers looking for creative ways to pay $14 trillion in reparations, moral and legal obligation to do so.
$14 trillion.
Where are we going to get that money from?
Anyone have any ideas?
Maine now has a superior court.
They have issued a stay on the state's decision to bar Donald Trump from the primary ballot by the Secretary of State.
In Georgia, we have some big developments.
The wheels of justice have now begun to turn in the case of Fulton County District Attorney Fanny Willis.
Looks like, you know what, a little bit of karma coming into play here.
Anyway, the judge overseeing the Georgia election subversion case against President Trump and 18 others has scheduled a February 15th hearing to address claims that Fulton County DA Fannie Willis had an inappropriate personal relationship with one of the special prosecutors on the case, paid this guy over $654,000, and they're taking luxurious vacations together with the money she's paying him.
Pretty exorbitant amount of money considering that's more than she makes as Fulton County DA.
One Georgia lawyer, though, writing in the Daily Beast, why can't we just shrug off the Fannie Willis scandal?
Just shrug it off.
Oh, you mean the way you shrug off everything involving Trump?
Anyway, a lot of noise about Donald Trump and the possibility of maybe picking Elise Stefanik.
Too early to tell as far as I'm concerned.
Anyway, this ongoing trial in New York now, they wouldn't even give the trial a day's rest just so Donald Trump can attend the funeral of his mother-in-law.
Melania Trump's wife, I'm sorry, mother had passed away.
The funeral was today, and they asked for a one-day delay.
Any compassionate judge would have said, sure, we understand.
It's going to be a revolving door of democracy and peril.
January 6th, January 6th, January 6th.
But they'll hide the details that Lester Holt pointed out on NBC News about the fact that there was actionable intelligence that was ignored.
They'll ignore Police Chief Sund at the time, the Capitol Police Chief, that saw the intelligence and was asking repeatedly days leading into January 6th for the National Guard.
They'll ignore that the mayor, Muriel Bowser, turned down in writing any approval of the guard.
The January 6th committee with their predetermined outcome never looked into ways to prevent this from ever happening again, nor did they ever look into what Nancy Pelosi had on her text messages, her emails, what phone calls she might have made, considering she's in charge of safety of the Capitol, along with Chucky Schumer.
They didn't do that with him either.
It's pretty unbelievable to me.
Anyway, another New Hampshire poll has come out.
This is the St. Anselm College poll, kind of reflective of the Suffolk poll.
Now, the Suffolk poll nailed Trump's number missed by one.
They had him at 52 in Iowa.
He won by 51.
This was now conducted at St. Anselm's College poll after the Iowa caucuses.
And it's the second poll released that showed that Donald Trump is maintaining a double-digit lead over Haley in New Hampshire.
This in spite of the fact that thousands of Democrats have changed their party affiliation to independents so that they can, you know, play dirty tricks and influence the outcome of that election, which, by the way, the governor Sununu should not have allowed this to happen.
That's got to change in New Hampshire.
Because all it does is invite political Political games like what is likely probably unfolding behind the scenes that we don't know about.
Pretty unbelievable.
But there's your country for you.
There's the state of America.
The news from Lake Wobegon.
All the women are strong, all the men good looking, and all the children are above average.
Anyway, 800-941, Sean.
Oh, I see Joy Reed over at MSDNC.
Told the story yesterday.
Joy Reed was in deep trouble because of stuff that, I don't know, she had posted written.
I don't even remember what it was about.
And I said she shouldn't be fired.
You know, longest-running host in cable news, you know, always one of the top rated.
And I was told by an NBC executive that if I had not said don't fire her, give her another chance, that she probably would have been fired.
Now, some of you are saying, you idiot, why did you do that?
Because I don't support firings.
I don't call for them.
I don't call for cancellations.
And I don't support boycotts.
Because ultimately, in the end, I promise you, the victims will end up being conservatives nine out of ten times.
But also, I believe in freedom of speech, and I believe that people, if they don't like the show, don't watch it.
She's saying some, let's see, voters have racial anxiety.
They want revenge.
Not exactly sure what that means.
It's not economic anxiety.
It's racial anxiety.
It's demographic panic.
Unreal.
All right, keep it up.
Let's see what happens.
Apparently, they have new bosses over there.
800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, the battle over the budget.
I mean, it has now become mission impossible because you always have rhinos to deal with in the Republican caucus.
They only have a two-vote majority.
But they're just kicking the can down the road.
It looks like yet again, we'll analyze that situation.
