Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Our toll free number is 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Now we went over all of the Trump era policies that were rescinded in the first hundred days by Joe Biden, all of the of which could be brought back with the stroke of a pen.
But the White House, after denying for three years and lying to us for three years and saying the border is safe, the border's secure, the border is closed, on and on and on.
Oh, all of a sudden they recognize there's a problem, so they're now trying to blame Republicans for this.
Now the House, they passed HR one, which is a real border security bill.
Now, Joe Biden is demanding before and insisting that the only way he'll do a border deal if is if you know billions more go to Ukraine.
He's even tying Israeli support into this as well, rather than bifurcate these bills and let them stand on their own merit, which Congress rarely does.
And in the Senate, I've talked to a number of senators, and what they've been hearing and what they're telling me they're hearing, and Ted Cruz said it out loud this weekend, is that well, they're just gonna limit the people that we allow it in the country to five thousand a day, which is more manageable.
Uh no, that would not be manageable.
We should be enforcing the laws of the land.
Now, Oklahoma Senator James Land Langford denies this, and he said the border deal focuses on zero crossings a day and no amnesty.
Okay, if that's true, why doesn't he just support the House Bill HR one and make that part of whatever deal you're making with the White House?
Listen.
Yeah, the challenge that Senator Cruz has and a bunch of other folks is they're still waiting to be able to read the bill on this, and this has been our great challenge of being able to fight through the final words to be able to get the bill text out so people can hear it.
Right now there's internet rumors is all that people are running on.
It would be absolutely absurd for me to agree to 5,000 people a day.
This bill focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day.
There's no amnesty, it increases the number of border patrol agents, it increases asylum officers, it increases detention beds so we can quickly detain and then deport individuals.
It ends catching release, it focuses on additional deportation flights out.
It changes our asylum process so that people get a fast asylum screening at a higher standard and then get returned back to their home country.
This is not about letting five thousand people in a day.
This is the most misunderstood section of this proposal.
And then he went on to accuse his fellow Republicans of tanking a border deal because it's a presidential election year.
And that's not at all accurate.
And by the way, no, the language he's right is not out there.
And that's the problem.
And because the devil's always in the details.
You always would get amnesty, you'd never get the border security.
You'd always get the tax increase, but you'd never get the spending cuts that always are promised that they they'll come later.
They never come later.
Anyway, this Texas showdown is very real.
Uh I've got to say one thing.
I gotta give a real big shout out to all the the Biden Border Patrol officials that are down there.
Um, they were they are now saying the Biden Border Patrol, uh that there no are no plans to dismantle the razor wire that were installed legally by the governor of Texas.
There's nothing in the Supreme Court decision that forces Texas to take it down or prevents them from putting up new wire.
Uh the only what the only person that created this false deadline was Joe Biden, because he wanted to send his guys in to cut the razor wire and get rid of it.
That's what the whole lawsuit was about anyway.
Uh but now that he sees such strong pushback, you know, he's he he laid out a scenario where we could literally have you know two different law enforcement groups, you know, at each other's throats.
That's not a good position for them to be in.
They don't want to be in that position, which is why I think that Biden's border patrol has been so outspoken saying, no, we're not cutting down any razor wire.
There's not going to be any confrontation here.
It's not going to happen, and then they praise the Texas National Guard for their work.
And then on the other hand, you've got Joe Biden being pressured by Democrats to federalize the Texas National Guard.
Meanwhile, other state Republicans are offering to send guard troops themselves to in in solidarity In support of Texas.
Why?
Because now every state's become a border state, thanks to Biden not abiding by the laws of the land.
That too, we went over earlier.
Brandon Judd is the president of the National Border Patrol Council, 20-year active border patrol vet.
I don't see border patrol agents wanting or being willing to engage in any type of confrontation with the Texas National Guard.
I hope I'm right.
But I think I have a pretty good read on these guys, and they're more frustrated than anybody else that they're not allowed to do their job.
Those are the people that I've met.
Yeah, we're the we are by far the most frustrated people.
And I laid this out in a very succinct tweet.
Um, first person explain exactly what's going on as far as that uh Supreme Court decision.
Now we're not happy with the Supreme Court decision, but it's you know, once they once they decide the law, we have to abide by the law.
But they never said that the that we had the right to take down the razor wire, or that I'm sorry, that we had to take down the razor water.
All the Supreme Court said was if in an emergency situation arises, you can in fact cut the razor wire to bring to to uh safely take into custody these individuals.
But not one of us want to cut that razor wire.
There isn't any agent out there that wants to cut the razor wire, and that's why there's not going to be any confrontation.
We understand that they have a job to do.
They understand that we have a job to do.
We work hand in hand.
We try to be the other's eyes and ears when when they're not there, we're not there.
So we do everything that we can to support each other to secure the border.
The problem is is we don't have an administration that wants secure the border.
They constantly want to pass the buck.
The only reason that Biden wants legislation is so that he can throw his hands in the air to his open border base and say, hey, it wasn't me, it wasn't me.
He knows that he has the executive authority right now, but if he were to do that, he's gonna he's gonna alienate that base.
And so he can't he's he's looking for a scapegoat.
He's looking for an out, and that's why he wants legislation rather than him using his executive authority.
Well, he's the one I can tell you 17 things.
Miranda Devine, I think, is identified over 90.
I don't have time to go over 90.
Uh, but the things that Joe did on day one, he signed an executive order revoking the Trump administration's effort to exclude undocumented immigration from the U.S. Census.
He he signed an executive order to strengthen legal protection for DACA.
He revoked the Trump executive order that uh massively expanded immigration officials' interior enforcement work and broaden the categories of who they should try and detain and deport, which ends up being pretty much nobody.
Uh he attempted to pause deportations for a hundred days.
Uh he stopped construction of the border wall.
He ended the stay in Mexico policy.
He terminated asylum cooperative agreements with Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, uh, ended the prompt asylum case review for non-Mexicans and humanitarian asylum review program for Mexicans.
Uh again, the made in Mexico remain in Mexico policy was probably the worst, but he also let Title 42 expire.
That was in May of last year.
And that that severely limited access to asylum.
Uh and then if you look at the law, not to lecture you on the law, Brendan, because you understand it, but those people listening, uh, subsection eight, Title 8 USC, Section 13 uh 24.
Uh, we learn it says you it's prohibited from smuggling domestic transportation of unauthorized aliens, concealing or harboring unauthorized aliens, encouraging or inducing unauthorized aliens to enter the U.S., engaging in a conspiracy or aiding and abetting any of the preceding acts.
Uh if you attempt to bring unauthorized aliens into the U.S., that too has a section against the law.
Uh they have a section against alien smuggling, domestic transportation, harboring of illegal immigrants.
These are all laws that Joe Biden has broken.
He's guilty of it.
And Article 4 of our Constitution gives Texas the right, every state government, the federal government shall protect the states against invasion, and Governor Abbott has a constitutional point under Article 1, Section 10.
States have a sovereign right to protect their own borders as affirmed by Arizona versus the U.S. Uh so on legal grounds, Texas is right.
Biden is wrong.
Biden caused all these problems without any act of Congress.
He can reinstate all the policies he rescinded.
It's that simple, Brandon.
And everything that you said is why we support Governor Abbott.
Everything that you said clearly shows that he should be impeached on this issue alone.
I mean, the Hunter Biden issue, obviously, has to be looked at, has to be scrutinized, has to be go over everything.
But on this issue alone, he should be impeached.
Mayorcus should be impeached on is on this issue alone.
Don't who cares when they say it's just political theater.
What they did with Donald Trump was political theater.
What we're looking at right now is we're looking at actual laws.
We can point to these laws.
There are three main laws that we're supposed to charge people with.
1324.
You just went over that.
138 USD, 1325, and 8 USD 1326.
Those are the three sections of law that we're supposed to be charging people with.
We're arresting 6,000 people every single day.
And we're only charging maybe maybe 10 with one of these with one of these laws.
That's all we're doing.
We're not charging anybody with violating our laws.
We're not holding anybody accountable.
And that's the magnet that draws so many people to cross our borders illegally.
That's what allows the cartels to go throughout the world and advertise their services.
That's why so many people are willing to give these cartels thousands upon thousands of dollars.
We are enriching the cartels.
I I said on your TV show a couple months ago that if he weren't the president, if he wasn't immune, I would arrest him tomorrow for being the best friends of the cartels for allowing the cartels to do what they're doing.
And it's it's it's unfathomable that a president of the United States would care more about his political career than all of the destruction that he's doing for the American people.
All right, quick break.
More with Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council.
All right, we continue our other lead story, and that is our wide open borders and the Texas showdown that is ongoing.
Governor Abbott, by the way, will be on Hannity tonight, but we continue with Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council.
By the way, also a 20-year act of border patrol vet.
When you looked at the letter that was sent to Congress, Mike Johnson, Chuck Schumer, and uh et cetera, and other leading, you know, representatives and senators, and this is by FBI Luminaries, and by the way, the people that oversaw the FBI's intelligence gathering, counterterrorism, criminal and training operations, these are the top guys.
And they're saying that it in the modern history of our country, we've never suffered an invasion of the homeland, yet one is unfolding right now, and then they describe who we're talking about.
And they were pretty clear.
They said about it's an invasion of middle-aged male foreigners to pose one of the most pernicious ever threats to American security.
Uh does that not scare the hell out of every American?
And of the 10 million Joe Biden unvetted illegals, how many probably uh unvetted uh people with terrorist links came into the country?
We've caught many on the terror watch list.
What are the odds that there are terror cells in the country because of Joe Biden's immigration policies, Brendan?
So the first thing that we have to understand is that it's great that the FBI wrote this, and and I I appreciate everything they're doing to try to shit a light on it.
But the problem is outside of Fox News, outside of yourself, who else is covering that?
Did the mainstream media cover it?
Did the mainstream media let the American people understand it, know what know what's going on on our borders?
You know, we talk about I'm sorry, the Democrats love to talk about an attack on democracy.
The biggest attack on democracy is when our government does not allow the American people to make an informed decision on what's going on.
When they hide facts, when they hide what's actually going on, and then when you look at this this letter, uh again, I am so grateful that the intelligence community was was willing to come out and write this letter.
But that's what we know of.
We know that we have apprehended more than four times the the number under under Biden than what we did of under Trump of people that were on the known terrorist watch list.
But look at all of the gotta ways.
Look at how many people have been able to evade apprehension.
We're talking nearly two million people that we don't know who they are, we don't know where they're coming from, and we don't know what their intentions are.
What we do know is that they didn't want to get caught.
They didn't want to be fingerprinted.
They did not want our our government to know that they were here.
That is what is so scary about border security.
And when you have Joe Biden hide these facts from the American people when he's not willing to allow them to make an informed decision when they're going to the ballot box.
That's it the the attack on democracy.
Well I don't know any other way out of it except to re-elect Donald Trump and re-implement the policies.
He can scream all he wants.
I'll tell you this if Republican senators uh go wobbly on this issue and they try to water down a very strong House bill, I don't think there's going to be a very good reaction for Republican senators.
Yeah, look, HR two, it is it is the perfect bill.
What what I'm looking at right now is is I know that there's multiple bites at the Apple.
I want something.
They have to give me something.
Give me something that I can do something with and if we have to take another bite at the Apple later on down the road when Trump is in office, let's get take another bite.
But I cannot continue to do what we're doing today for another another eleven months.
We're talking about another three million people that will be in this country if we don't do something to today.
I'm waiting to see what's in that bill and and we'll come out with our comments after that but we've got to have something pretty scary.
Brandon Judd we appreciate all your work and and all the guys please tell them they have our uh support and our our thanks for putting themselves in harm's way every day.
It's not an easy job for them right now and it's become job impossible frankly and I'm sure they hate it.
And hopefully we'll have a change of administration soon enough.
Thank you my friend 800 941 Shaun is our number if you want to be a part of the program we'll hit the phones next continuing to build the foundation for conservative victory.
Victory now back to the Sean Hannity show.
Many of you have been very patient this Monday let's get to our busy phones.
Richie Long Island, New York by the way are you watching this race it's February uh thirteenth and this is for George Santos seat an amazing woman Maisie I don't know if you know her and her background we're going to have her on the program this week um is running to replace uh Santos against uh a guy that says he's a hundred percent for Joe Biden but is not seeking Joe Biden's endorsement that's Tom Swazi.
Anyway uh we'll see what happens there.
Richie Long Island, um hope things are okay there since I left.
Yeah Sean everything is uh pretty well pretty much the same put it that way um my call concerning the uh potential uh uh confrontation between uh Texas law enforcement with the razor wire and the Fed is taking them down uh it doesn't have to be a confrontation at all it's a very simple matter for the Republican majority in the House to simply defund any wire cutting operations by the Fed.
That's all they got to do.
And not only that but if they don't have to cut there's no direct order for them to cut it.
I mean that's the irony of this whole thing.
And there's no there's no prohibition against putting up more wire and there's no obligation to cut down the wire that's there.
I know but i if they're gonna if Biden were to be stupid enough let's say national guard nationalized uh Texas National Guard and the National Guards of the other states that have supporting Texas they can simply defund the operations of those nationalized guard troops that uh it doesn't happen.
It doesn't have to be any kind of a potential confrontation.
Not only that but uh uh the political benefits in November could be uh could go a long way towards increasing the Republican majority in the House as well as a possible coattail effect in the Senate do that.
It's the border's stupid that's why you know all these uh I I'm not sure why the Senate is playing any games at all.
All they need to do is to adopt the House bill that's already been passed and just insist if if you want any more money for Ukraine which is seems which seems to be the bargaining issue for the Biden administration you're not getting a penny until you secure the border.
Now I'd fight even harder I would demand that we have budgetary controls as well like the House has been trying to do but they don't have a big enough majority uh to stand together on something that would be smart to stand together on.
Anyway my friend uh good luck to my friend in Long Island not sure how's the temperature There today, but it's not great.
Just guessing.
Uh anyway, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they support America's greatest heroes.
That is U.S. uh service members, first responders, those that die or are catastrophically injured in the line of duty.
They also help our homeless vets.
Now these are real heroes we all owe a debt of gratitude to.
Uh the Foundation's Gold Star Fallen First Responder, Smart Home, Homeless Vets programs, they honor the sacrifices that these men and women made for us, risking their lives and bodies for our country and our communities.
And don't forget their never forget programs, engaging in 911 remembrances all across the country.
They've got now over 80 walks and runs and climbs a year, dozens of golf outings, barbecues.
The Tunnel to Towers has their 911 Institute educating kids K through twelfth grade about America's darkest day.
Look, here's the bottom line.
They can't do this without your financial support.
It's that simple.
And they're asking everybody that listens to this show, and we hope you'll join all of us here on Team Hannity and donate eleven dollars a month.
That's all they're asking to continue this great work.
Just go to their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org.
The letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Terrorist Foundation.
Sean is in the free state of Florida.
Sean, it's an honor to be uh living down here with you.
How are you, sir?
Very well, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
Uh just gotta say you've you've been the voice of reason for me for so many years.
I can't thank you enough.
We cut the cable cord in our house several years ago, but because I work for WWE, I uh I drive to Orlando every week, and by the time I get to the hotel, your show's started.
So just want to say how much I appreciate you, sir.
Well, I don't like the cord cutting part, at least for the Fox package.
I I think you can actually aren't there other packages like if you subscribe to YouTube, I think you can get the Fox News channel.
You can watch it that way.
Um there uh there are a bunch of creative ways people are doing it.
I'm on Fox every day, but I do it online, so I read it.
Gotcha.
And then of course I listen to your show in in the car.
But by the time I get to the hotel, because we have the live show every week, I I get to watch you as well.
I'm very much like I'm glad for whatever viewing you have, you you're keeping me uh keeping food on my table.
Thank you.
Well, I appreciate it.
Hey, I wanted to uh I wanted to ask you real quick.
Um, because of I I guess what I would call all of the global concerns the United States has around the world right now.
Um, and and please just educate me on this because I really don't understand it.
What would now now that we know Trump is doing amazing as Linda we would, um, what would keep the Biden administration from basically just declaring us in a state of war with you know Iran since what just happened, or another country that they're concerned with, and and that would keep uh any election from happening like Roosevelt did.
Listen, I I just think the world sees Joe Biden for who he is.
Uh he is done he has tried everything but kissing the ass of the Mullers themselves.
I mean, the fact that he's turned a blind eye towards the sanctions that prohibit them from exporting oil uh has helped make them rich.
That foments terror.
They are the number one state sponsor of terror.
Uh the fact that he was willing to give six billion and uh and uh you know scheme to get hostages was insane.
The fact that he m allowed a waiver uh was also insane.
Uh and in that case, you know, he he allowed ten million billion dollars from Iraq to go into their coffers.
And and now apparently it's what turns out Joe Biden's you know intelligence is uh now being shared with the Iranians because apparently we're giving them warnings about potential attacks against them.
They're not our ally, they're not our friend.
They've they're behind the hundred and seventy nearly two hundred attacks against American soldiers.
They are behind all the proxy, you know, terrorism all throughout the Middle East, and there's got to be a price to pay.
And they don't think Joe Biden's capable of delivering that message.
He said, No, don't don't.
There's my message, don't.
They know that they're not allowed to.
Well, they keep doing it.
And they do it through their proxies.
And at some point there's got to be consequences.
We have three dead Americans and 30 injured, and frankly, I'm shocked it's not more, considering the number of attacks that they've been behind.
Now, it's really simple.
A squared, B squared equals C squared.
You attack the United States.
We are gonna t attack you back fifteen times harder and and just level you until you stop.
It's that simple.
You know that that's how you're gonna end it.
Otherwise, you know, all their threats, you know, meaningless.
This is this is why a nuclear armed Iran better be something in everybody's mind because it would be a disaster.
This would be a potential holocaust in our lifetime.
I could see it happening.
And again, I pray I'm wrong.
Anyway, appreciate the call, my friend glad you're out there, Sean.
Uh back to our phones.
Justin also in the free state of Florida with me.
How are you, Justin?
Glad you called Hey I appreciate you.
Um what's good how you doing today?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Oh not much.
I wanted to see or talk to you about um ways that we can try to get Democrat and independent voters um to see that Trump uh is a fantastic candidate because um there was no he didn't take us into any new wars.
And uh I think one of the main things that Democrats uh are concerned about is the environment um which Biden and the Obamas for example don't care anything about um the environment they're paid off by BP.
Um we had of course had the oil spill down here uh about fourteen fifteen years ago and uh the Obamas had to come down here and try to explain to us that everything was just fine, you know not to worry about it.
Um it's basically because they were paid off by BP.
So Biden's canceling you know he gives in to the environmental extremis every chance he gets and we're wasting billions of dollars you know they're forcing car companies to waste lose billions of dollars where they're building uh infrastructure that's collapsing all these m you know tens and tens of millions of dollars in grants are just being you know basically thrown down the sewer and that's taxpayer money and they're wasting it all.
You know they're trying to get an electric buses that don't work.
They're forcing electric cars down Americans' throat and Americans are rejecting them in mass you know even with you know forty percent discounts they don't want them.
They they don't feel confident in them and it's not what they want.
I mean stop forcing us to do things we don't want to do.
We want our we want our gas stove we want our air conditioning we want our refrigerator get off our back.
You know whatever happened to the concept of freedom for crying out loud.
And on top of that Trump was president we become energy independent the first time in seventy five years and we had the highest uh improvement levels in terms of CO2 emissions of any country in the world.
Yeah and he put money towards the state parks and the wetlands here in Florida so he did more for the environment um but there is one point I think that's really worth bringing up is basically any time we talk about solar or wind power um you know these are supplemental things that can be helpful you know that we don't need to throw them away but anytime we talk about these things it's just a smoke screen because there are inventions and technologies out there that have been invented.
For example, a water-powered car, that every time that somebody tries to bring one up or get a patent for one, they're either killed.
Or the places like GM, which I know we're sticking up for GM because of how they're being forced to make these electric cars.
But these are the same people that have suppressed the information about a water-powered car and these other alternative energies.
because the oil industry and the car industry, they don't want us to to have that.
Well what did Jennifer Granholm do?
She tried to show how easy it was to take an electric vehicle and uh the charging stations had long waits and she just put a gas powered vehicle in line so she wouldn't have to wait when her electric vehicle showed up and all that did was piss off everybody that had been waiting behind them.
Anyway appreciate the call thank you Justin 800 nine four one Sean if you want to be a part of the program uh let us say hi to Dave in Wisconsin.
And Dave, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Thank you, sir.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
What's going on?
I got a question.
It's kind of like a legal question.
I mean, straight up, I mean, I agree we need to shut down the border and, you know, and all that.
But, you know, typically an invasion is referred to as like a forced incursion.
Two-part question if I could.
First off, is it possible Biden could argue if this went to court or whatever that it's not an invasion thing is how we're basically allowing these people in?
And if it came down to it, how do we make?
Well, let me answer that question at first.
And I'll just say he can't argue that it's not an invasion because they're letting him in because.
then he's acknowledging the obvious, which is that he's not been enforcing America's laws that I went through in some detail in the first hour of the program today, and we'll go over tonight on TV.
Okay.
Uh miss that part because I was working with apologized, but uh anyway.
That's all right, I understand.
How do we successfully argue that that it is invasive because litigation or or impeachment?
Or I mean ten former FBI top executives, the ones that oversore the FBI's intelligence gathering, and counterterrorism head and criminal and training operations head.
And they said an invasion of military age male foreigners who pose one of the most pernicious ever threats to American security.
I think I'll take their guys' word for it.
Uh we're now Egyptians.
Why are people from you know Afghanistan showing up there and Russia and China?
Tell me why they're showing up there.
You think they're they're here because they want better lives for them themselves and their family?
I don't think so.
Well, I agree, but how do we uh uh you know, as far as like the definition of invasion, how do we, you know, uh use that uh get the results we want.
Oh, I think the the the only way you're gonna get the results you want, honestly, is to win in November.
It's the border stupid.
It's the economy stupid.
It's not Bidenomics.
If you want to call it Bidenomics, then eat uh all the pain you've inflicted uh with your policies on the American people.
Anyway, uh appreciate the call, Dave.
Thank you.
We've got let's say hi to Mike in North Carolina.
Mike, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, it's a pleasure talking to you.
Uh pleasure's all mine.
What's on your mind today?
Rolls right into what you you were just talking about.
I mean, if you look at you know, the media is trying to tout uh Biden's uh reaction with the Dow, you know, the Dow's up as high as it be you know, record highs.
Well, if you take a look at it, index it for inflation.
I look back at tr at uh Trump's presidency, and if you index for inflation, the Dow was up over forty six percent.
Now if you index for inflation, the Dow for Trump for Biden's presidency, he's up nine point nine three.
I guess last week or the week before, the market doesn't impact 92% of Americans.
That's a lot.
It's never been my biggest barometer.
Now, it does offer some signs that of of consumer confidence, of investor confidence, which is a good thing.
Short of that, it's never been my barometer.
Um, you know, when you look at sixty percent of Americans live in paycheck to paycheck, I don't think they give a damn about what the stock market's doing on any any given day, and they're not paying attention to it.
Uh that would be my guess.
But inflation is killing them.
And I agree with you a hundred percent.
But the thing is, it's the way that the media is trying to manipulate data.
Uh it takes me back to back when I was in college.
I remember a book s uh that was entitled Lying with Statistics, and that's all they seem to be doing.
Well, they've they've they've been telling us the border's secure forever.
They told us that Joe never once talked to Hunter, his brother or anybody for that matter about their foreign business deals.
They do a lot of lying.
Uh good call, appreciate it.
Mike of North Carolina, eight hundred nine four-one Sean, our number.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
Great Hannity tonight, nine Eastern.
Greg Abbott, his first interview, national interview about what's been going on.
Biden confronting uh Texas National Guard troops, a call for them to be nationalized, really?
Anyway, we'll check in with Governor Abbott.
Uh also Sarah Carter's down at the border.
Steve Miller's been great on it.
What do we do about Iran?
We'll check in with Congressman Michael Waltz.
He has some strong ideas on how that should be handled.
Pete Hag Seth and Biden threatening to withhold support for Israel.
Really?
Is that how we'd want Israel to treat us if we were a victim of a terror attack?
Anyway, set you DBR, Hannity Tonight, 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel, news you'll never get from the mob.
