Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
So Stephen A. Smith writes to me last night.
He's like, oh, there's Newt Gingrich going off on Joe Biden's cognitive being a cognitive mess.
I'm like, Stephen, it's the president of the United States.
I said he can't utter two sentences together.
I literally, in my mind, I've tried to go back for months to figure out, you know, when has Joe Biden had a real good public event where there were no problems, defining no problems by, you know, his mumbling, bumbling, stumbling, you know, losing track of what he was about to say, not knowing whether to exit stage left or stage right, not having a clue, needing help to get upstairs like this weekend.
It was terrible.
And I was about, you know, I was about to play for you what happened yesterday, but I got a new tape that just came in from today.
You just can't make this up.
Now, hear this through the prism of Newt Gingrich saying to us yesterday that for the first time he thinks Joe Biden's not going to make it, that his cognitive decline is now basically accelerating.
And it seems to be.
This is him from earlier today.
There is some movement, and I don't want to choose my words.
There's some movement.
There's been a response from the response from the opposition.
But yes, I'm sorry, from Hamas.
But it seems to be a little over the top.
We're not sure where it is.
There's a continuing negotiation right now.
Okay.
Now, you really want that guy to be your president?
Is this really who the Democrats are going to put up?
Yesterday, he confused the French president Macron with Francois Mitterrand.
Many of you may not have heard of Francois Mitterrand.
I happen to remember him.
I was on the air at the time when he was the president of France.
And he died, I think, in 1996, the year after he left office.
So he hasn't been around for, you know, almost 30 years, whatever it is.
Anyway, here's 28 years.
Here's Joe screwing this up yesterday.
You know, right after I was elected, I went to what they call a G7 meeting, all the NATO leaders.
I was in the south of England.
And I sat down and I said, America's back.
And Mitterrand from Germany, I mean, from France, looked at me and said, you know, how long are you back for?
And I looked at him and the Chancellor of Germany said, what would you say, Mr. President, if you picked up the paper tomorrow in the London Times and the London Times said, a thousand people break through the House of Commons, break down the doors, two bobbies are killed in order to stop the election of the prime minister.
What would you say?
I never thought about it from that perspective.
What would we say if that happened in another democracy around the world?
All right, here we go.
Democracy in Peril, the same people that want to keep Trump's name off the ballot.
How ironic.
January 6th, January 6th, insurrection, insurrection, abortion.
Republicans want it all to be illegal.
Not true, but they'll say it anyway.
And then the usual playbook.
That's what you get.
This guy doesn't even know the president of France is.
This guy is not capable of being a Walmart greeter.
What's a Walmart greeter, you might ask?
I bet most of you know what a Walmart greeter is.
Linda, I've taken you to Target.
You're the worst person to shop with.
But those nice people, usually retired people that, you know, kind of want extra income, want to have a purpose, and they're maybe sick of playing golf and cards.
And they're just like, you know what?
Let me go back to work.
Let me make myself useful.
And by the way, they're the nicest people in the world.
You walk in, if you're like me, I'm going into a store, a Target, a Walmart.
I'm like, I want to find my department, and those places are huge.
And I want to get in and I want to get out.
And I don't want to stop anywhere in between.
Anyway, so you ask these nice people, you know, do you happen to know where the sporting goods department is?
Yes, sir.
If you go down here, make a left, it's aisle 14 on your right-hand side, blah, blah, blah.
And there you go.
I don't know.
I've never met anybody nice at a Target.
In fact, I stopped shopping at Target with all their woe crap.
But I like Walmart.
They're great.
And they got awesome people at the door.
Okay, they got all these cool old people that are like there.
I don't think Joe could do that job.
I don't think he would remember the location of all the various departments.
Joe has never worked a day in his life.
He became president so he could go rest, go to Dover, and take a nap.
He's doing a great job of that.
Now, Joe Biden has declined to accept an invitation from Donald Trump to debate and debate immediately.
Donald Trump said to Dan Bongino, I'd like to debate him now because we should debate.
And he said we should debate for the good of the country.
Biden dismissed the idea.
Well, if I were him, I'd want to debate me too.
The problem is, Joe can't debate.
No matter what happens, if Joe is their nominee out of the convention and they're going to ride this horse all the way to election day, this man is not capable of doing the job.
At what point do they just acknowledge this simple truth?
Now, we still have a lot of angst and a lot of information regarding this border bill that keeps coming out.
I have been told this now by not one, but two people that my name came up specifically, and maybe others' names as well, but I know my name specifically by the senators writing this bill and with the urgent call not to get me the information that was in the bill, that they wanted to keep it from conservative hosts because conservative hosts, quote, would have the ability to kill the bill.
Now, I didn't get the exact name of the exact senator that made the comment, but it was the people that were supporting this bill that basically it's already dead.
As far as I can see, I don't see any way that this thing is going to pass.
And what's frustrating about this is this has nothing to do with them going after me.
It's they wanted to prevent you, my audience, from actually getting information that is relevant and pertinent to what you expect and what you want Republicans to do.
And they're saying, no, no, make sure people like Hannity don't get a copy of this and we've got to keep it internally.
Well, I mean, there are too many conservative senators that are not going to abide by that stupidity anyway.
But we also learned in this whole thing the Senate's border funding bill would allocate $1.4 billion for nonprofit organizations that help illegal immigrants who enter the U.S. illegally get resettled throughout the country.
On top of every criticism we went through yesterday, you know, and Biden's illegal immigration.
By the way, those cop beaters out of New York and Times Square, they were arrested in Phoenix last night, which is good news.
I'm not sure if Phoenix has no bail laws.
I tend to doubt in Arizona they'd be that stupid.
But they were at a Greyhound bus station, according to ICE agents, part of a group of six that were arrested and charged and then let out because of New York's no-bail laws, and they're on video beating the hell out of police officers.
I mean, one guy literally goes running up.
The cop was trying to stand up, just running up full steam and just kicks the cop right in the face.
It's unreal.
Now, I go back to the main argument in all of this is that none of this is needed and none of this is necessary.
Every problem we have.
Now, remember this, too.
The Biden administration, starting with Joe himself, Kamala Harris's borders are that never goes to the border, Alejandro Mayorkas, Circleback Jen Saki, Karin Jean-Pierre, all of them have been lying to us for three years and basically telling us that our eyes are lying to us and that the borders that we're looking at,
where all these illegal immigrants are invading the country, and now we know about somewhere near the 10 million mark of illegal, unvetted Joe Biden immigrants that he's allowed into the country.
And now we know the countries they come from.
That's a clear and present danger to our national security.
I mean, that was like Joe Scarborough saying, I can't believe Republicans are not supporting this bill.
This is outrageous.
They don't care about the security of the country.
I'm like, Liberal Joe, what's happened to you, Joe?
Because you know, Joe, deep down inside, somewhere in there, is that old guy that used to pretend to be a conservative, and you know that Joe Biden, when he became president in his first hundred days in office, did 17 specific things, 17 things on day one, as a matter of fact, including unwinding Trump's changes to the census as it relates to illegal immigrants, revoking the Trump administration's effort to exclude illegal immigrants from the U.S. census.
Joe Biden, Executive Order 10, strengthened legal protections for DACA.
He changed all of the Trump policies that were working.
Executive 12, Executive Order No.
12, canceling the Trump administration's interior enforcement rule.
Executive Order 13, stopped construction of the border wall.
Executive Order 14, extended deportation protection for Liberians.
I'm not sure why.
He also terminated the asylum cooperative agreements with Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
He ended the prompt asylum case review for non-Mexicans and humanitarian asylum review program for Mexicans.
Biden ended the Remain in Mexico policy.
That was June 1st of 2021.
And shortly after he took office, well, the Homeland Security Department of Homeland Security suspended new enrollments to the program, formerly known as the Migrant Protection Protocols.
And they subsequently kicked off the process of gradually allowing asylum seekers previously subject to the program into the U.S. between February 19th and May 25th.
And, you know, tens of thousands of people processed.
Then, of course, he got rid of executive, well, he got rid of Title 42, and he let that expire.
And he is ignoring all the relevant laws.
It's Title VIII, U.S.C. 1324, and it defines several offenses that Joe Biden is clearly guilty of, and that is transporting illegal immigrants.
That would be illegal under this provision.
Alien smuggling, that would be illegal under this provision.
It's also illegal to bring or attempt to bring unauthorized people to the United States.
You can't harbor these people, which has been happening.
You can't encourage or induce people to come here illegally.
Joe Biden telling them to come to come.
And under the current rules, certain individuals that entered the U.S. through its southwest border or adjacent coastal borders are presumed to be ineligible for asylum unless they can demonstrate an exception to the rule about the presumption.
Oh, now they're backlogged 10 years.
Well, we're going to expedite that process.
Okay, but it doesn't.
Joe doesn't need any of this.
This has been, it was worse than the deal that we thought we had that Lankford was so angry about and lashing out at Republicans about.
Oh, and by the way, the Houdi rebels, they were so intimidated by Joe's attacks on Syria and Iraq.
They have now escalated their attacks on U.S. flag ships.
Does that surprise anybody?
It's exactly what I told you.
The Iranian mullahs that foment terror, that have gotten rich because Joe Biden has turned a blind eye to them selling oil and allowed the $10 billion to be paid by Iraq and the $6 billion they offered for ransom.
They've made the Iranian mullahs rich again, and they're fomenting terror.
And they don't care how many of these proxy terrorists of theirs die in the course of them doing the bidding for them.
And now, as a result of not being willing to take a strong stance.
Now, I'm not saying war with Iran.
Let me be clear.
For those of you without ears to hear, let me be very clear.
I'm not talking about war with Iran.
I am saying if you attack American soldiers, if you attack American ships, there's got to be a price to pay, period.
And it's got to be proportional.
Now, to me, I define proportional as knocking out Iran's ability to make money on oil, knock out their refineries, and you're not going to have to worry about Iran for a good long while.
They're not going to have the money to be able to continue to foment terror the way they have.
What did I tell you would be the result of Joe Biden and his big attack in Iraq and Syria and not going after the people responsible for fomenting all the terror, which is Iran.
Why don't I tell you what happened?
I said the Iranians are going to laugh at this, and all it's going to do is embolden them.
Well, I've now been proven right.
Two instances, CBS News reporting that an Iran-backed terrorist launched a drone strike yesterday at a U.S. base in Syria.
And anyway, an Iranian-backed militia group in Iraq claiming responsibility for that drone strike against a base in eastern Syria used by U.S. troops, which killed six American-allied Kurdish fighters.
Oh, I thought the Iranians were going to be really, really motivated now because Joe Biden was fighting back.
Add to this, a British ship was hit by a Houthi rebel drone in the latest attack in the Red Sea.
UK Maritime Trade Operations said the attack on the ship, which is a British-owned cargo vessel, happened in Yemen just after midnight last night, and the captain reported a small craft had pulled up on his port side, followed by an explosion on the bridge, which damaged the windows.
Apparently, no crew were killed in the attack.
Well, they really seem nervous now that Joe's laid the gauntlet down and fired back.
Exposing left-wing media bias.
No stone left unturned.
The Sean Hannity show is back on the air.
25 to the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean, our number.
Look, the administration wants every American taxed to the brink.
We already are under the thumb of the IRS, which is why they wanted, what, $87 billion for IRS agents, a controlled digital dollar.
That's probably in the works as well.
There's many hardworking, patriotic Americans trying to opt out of the system any way they can.
One way is in part by diversifying savings with precious metals like gold and silver.
I've been doing this ever since the time I was in a position where I could start saving something, and I'm glad I did.
Recently, I did a big deal with Goldco, and they couldn't have been nicer people to deal with.
And they're a seven-time Inc.
5000 winner.
They placed over $2.5 billion in gold and silver.
They'll walk you through the process.
They'll send you any information that you might want or need.
Right now, they're offering up to $10,000 in bonus silver, but only while supplies last.
But anyway, check out our friends Goldco.
Call them now, 855-815-G-O-L-D.
Learn how to get started today.
Tell them your friend Sean Hannity sent you, and you can qualify for the up to $10,000 in bonus silver.
It's first come, first serve.
Don't wait.
Call Goldco today, 855-815-GOLD, 855-815-G-O-L-D.
We are waiting.
We're not sure when.
Sometime either late this afternoon or early this evening, Eastern time, the House is expected to vote on articles of impeachment.
Two people that'll be interesting to watch in this.
One would be Ken Buck of Colorado, who just has decided since he's not going back to Congress, he just doesn't care about getting along with his fellow Republicans.
And then surprisingly, Tom McClintock was praised by a Democrat earlier today for the fact that he says he's not going to vote for the impeachment of Mayorkas either, the articles of impeachment.
There are two of them.
And anyway, the border bill for sure is on the ropes right now.
You know, most people are now calling it like the Uniparty border security bill.
And that's what I would say about Senate Republicans that went along with this.
The ones that didn't want me to have the information that I could give to all of you about what was actually in the bill.
And they purposely tried to hide it.
And it was pretty much exposed.
I mean, what's amazing is how stupid they are.
It's like if you're going to lie, if you're a kid and you're going to lie about, well, your parents asked, did you eat the chocolate chip cookies?
And they're all over your face.
It may not be a good moment to lie.
I mean, but now Republicans, they're kind of trying to hide everything and thinking that they can get this through.
Well, they knew once the language of the bill got out there, people would start reading it.
And once people started reading it, most conservatives came to the obvious conclusion, which now makes it understandable why they didn't want me to get a copy of it or to even hear what was in it.
I mean, I've now had this confirmed by a couple of people that actually heard my name spoken.
They'll make sure that we don't get this in the hands of people like Hannity.
I'm like, why?
Because I'm going to pass it on to you, my listeners, what I've learned.
God forbid, you know, Hannity reports the truth about what's actually in this bill.
But anyway, I think that Speaker Johnson is right in saying it's dead on arrival.
I am concerned about Republicans like Buck and McClintock.
Let's see what they do when it matters.
But I think it's dead on arrival.
I hope it's dead on arrival.
Any of you see the video of this woman being dragged along a New York City street by an illegal immigrant moped gang, a gang linked to dozens of brazen attacks, 62 grand larcenies?
It's unreal.
And the only good news we have is the people on tape beating the NYPD officers that got bail and got out of New York.
Well, they were arrested at this Greyhound bus station, as I mentioned, in Phoenix, Arizona.
ICE, by the way, rightly blaming New York City because they refused to cooperate with the feds for the release of the cop-beating illegal immigrants.
I mean, at what point is this not if you institutionalize something like a sanctuary state or city status, you basically are codifying in law your ability to ignore federal law.
That's not how it works.
Anyway, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I'm not sure what number you said there, Linda, in my head.
Well, Eric Adams actually went to one of these raids and he shows up with a Fendi scarf.
I guess it's one of those trendy Fendi.
I mean, I'm not a big fashion person.
I mean, how much does a Fendi scarf cost?
Somebody said like thousands of dollars.
Is that true?
I don't know because I don't dress like an idiot like he does.
You don't, he's apparently out on a raid.
He's comparing himself to Jesus for assembling a non-white team as mayor.
I mean, I thought we're looking for the best qualified people.
I thought we wanted a colorblind society.
Apparently not.
Listen.
Santa, they need to see you.
Deputy Mayor Williams Ison, Deputy Mayor Mira Josie, Deputy Mayor Amazard, Deputy Mayor Maria Torres Springer.
Have you ever seen this much chocolate lead in the city of New York?
And then go down the line.
Look who's here.
This is representative of the city.
That's why people are hating on me.
You're trying to figure out why they're hating on me.
They're hating on me because those are, how many of you go to church?
Ma'am, this is a Matthew 21 and 12 moment.
Jesus walked in the temple.
He saw them doing wrong in the temple.
He did what?
He turned the table over.
Came over.
I went to City Hall to turn the table over.
First woman police commissioner of color, first Spanish-speaking police commissioner, first Spanish-speaking correction commissioner.
Go through the line of what we're doing.
Well, I mean, okay, you can look at it one way.
That's like the Fanny Willis defense that this is about racism.
No, it wasn't about racism with Fannie Willis.
It was about an inappropriate relationship she had with somebody that was on her payroll that was not anywhere near qualified to be involved in this case, this quote, RICO case down in Georgia against Donald Trump and her benefiting from paying this guy massive amounts of money and taking all these luxurious vacations with him.
Well, we'll see how that ends up.
I don't think it's going to end very well.
And, you know, Eric Adams can talk about chocolate and vanilla, I guess, all he wants and compare himself to Jesus, all that he wants for assembling, you know, a non-white team around him.
It's not a matter of that.
It's a matter of getting the job done.
Whoever's best qualified needs to get the job done.
And the problem is, is that in his city, on top of the hundreds of millions they've already spent on hotel rooms for illegal immigrants, now we're learning that they're giving away $53 million in, what do you call it, debit cards to illegal immigrants.
Now, New York's had a homeless problem for all the time that I can remember in my life, the years I was stuck there.
And I'm just telling you, they've never done this to homeless veterans ever.
They've never helped them out to this extent.
You know, when did you ever think that five people can beat the hell out of two police officers in a well-lit Times Square, all of it caught on video, and then get arrested, rightly so, and immediately thereafter get released, they get to flip New York the bird and get on a bus and try to make their way to the sanctuary state of California.
But, you know, I guess they got stopped in Phoenix.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
Maybe Arizona will step up and maybe they'll bring in ICE officials and maybe they'll actually deport the people that were responsible for beating the hell out of these police officers.
You know, this whole thing is set up in a way to make this problem a Republican problem.
No, as I went through in the last half hour, none of this would have happened had Joe Biden not rescinded all of the Trump policies that he inherited that also resulted in the most secure border in modern history.
It's insane.
You know, now they're trying to say, oh, I just need the power.
No, you don't.
All you need is a pen, Joe.
If you know, if you should still remember what a pen is, and maybe somebody can tell them that Francois Mitterrand was France's president from 81 to 95 and he died in 1996.
Maybe somebody can tell him that.
Bring him up to speed.
A report at a New Jersey-based smuggling gang there, run by illegal immigrants, has helped dozens sneak into the U.S. from Canada.
Apparently, they're charging $6,000 a head.
That's a 500% surge in crossings at our northern border.
You know, Chicagoland criminals are expanding enterprises by training illegal immigrants for suburban street crimes.
I mean, you know, this is now becoming organized crime in so many ways.
You know, Biden dismisses a Trump debate.
Of course, he'd want to debate me.
Why wouldn't he debate?
He's not capable of debating.
Go back to my first interview with Gavin Newsom.
What did I say to him in the middle of that debate?
I said, here's your problem.
The guy at the top of your ticket that you are defending to the end here, he's not capable of having a discussion like we're having.
That's a problem if you're going to be president.
Donald Trump has no such problem doing long-form interviews on a variety of topics.
Anyway, this is where we find ourselves with this insanity.
This is the left in America.
How many more major brain farts and lapses is Joe going to have?
But Biden's saying, well, we need help.
Why won't they give me the help?
No, you don't need the help, Joe.
Just reinstate the policies that you got rid of, the ones that were actually working.
Now the White House is in damage control mode because not only are they using the F-word about Donald Trump, but saying that B.B. Netanyahu is a bad effing guy.
What did B.B. Netanyahu ever do to Joe Biden?
He's not in Iraq and Syria attacking American troops the way the Iranians are with their proxy fighters.
He's not funding the Hootie rebels.
They're trying to live in peace, and they lost what would be the equivalent, if you extrapolate out percentages of population, of losing 40,000 Americans in a day.
And instead of just saying, we support your ability to defend your country and win this war, he's calling him a bad effing guy and doesn't want cursing him out in private.
Well, why has he grown suspicious of the Israeli prime minister who has now said if we have to go it alone, we're going to go it alone, whether Joe's involved or not?
Yeah, Joe Biden has been pressuring Israel almost from day one.
Why?
Because he's got a crazy left-wing base of his party that Supports what happened on October the 7th or whatever it is.
This terror attack, they support it.
They support Hamas, a terror group.
I mean, if we lost that many Americans in a day, would we listen to a third, you know, another country try and tell us whether we have the right to fight back or not fight back?
No.
By the way, I feel sorry.
The next time I buy Liam something from McDonald's, it's going to be very expensive, Linda.
McDonald's CEO is promising affordability amid a backlash.
Here's the problem.
I mean, what are they paying people that work in fast food places out in California?
What's the minimum wage for that?
Is it like $18 an hour?
It's between $15 and $20.
All right, between $15 and $20.
All right, so if you want a Big Mac combo, I prefer the quarter-pounder combo, but it's $18.
If you ever get their little Egg McMuffin, it's like $7.
If you get their hash brown, is it like $6?
I mean, that's fast food, but it's not inexpensive fast food anymore.
Now it's expensive fast food.
But it does taste great, don't you think, Linda?
Your son agrees with me.
Yeah, I would say I don't think that.
But I'm going to start identifying as an illegal immigrant and get some free money and buying some very expensive McDonald's food.
I'm going to get busy.
I'm going to stay in free hotel rooms.
I'm going prepaid phones, prepaid cars.
I'm going to start living the life, you know, like Eric Adams says, we know.
Sanctuary City, here I come.
Well, Biden also gave a billion dollars on top of New York's $180 plus million more in hotels and $53 million in prepaid debit cards and everything else in between.
It's insane.
But what do we do?
This is the problem.
And we got McClintock and Buck who are confused about what to do in Maorcus.
How can you be confused?
What are you confused about?
I have no idea because they're taking the words literally, bribery, high crimes, and misdemeanors.
It is a crime to aid and abet, and I've just gone over the laws.
I'm giving them the code that they can cite.
That would be a high crime to be part of a group that is violating American law and harboring illegal immigrants, encouraging and inducing illegal immigrants, aiding and abetting them, and the relevant laws for Tom McClintock and Ken Buck.
It's Title VIII, USC 1324, and go through all the various provisions, and you can see everything that is illegal.
I got a better idea.
Let's take the 85,000 kids that are missing and nobody knows where they are and how they were sold into the select slave trade.
And let's ask them where those kids are.
And then you tell me why he shouldn't be impeached.
Here's another little tidbit.
The October 7th attack on Israel.
Guess what?
Biden has poured $122 million U.S. taxpayer dollars into the U.N.'s Hamas-friendly relief agency, the one we told you about, where people are actually supporting Hamas in the attack against Israel.
And some even partook of this.
The UNRWA is given $122 million for this.
And meanwhile, his big strikes that they made such a big deal about last Friday, well, that's just resulted in more attacks against American troops in Syria by Iranian proxies.
And the Houdi rebels, they don't seem intimidated either.
So giving people a heads up so that they can escape your attack, which was a pinprick and absolutely just a show attack, you know, has not been effective.
Maybe he'll go back to trying to bribe the mullahs in Iran again.
I don't know what he's going to do.
800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, Pre-Born is leading the charge to change people's hearts, people that find themselves in a position, maybe they didn't expect it, they end up being pregnant, expecting moms.
They can all get free counseling.
They can get a free 4D ultrasound.
They're going to get a lot of support if they have the baby from pre-born clinics around the country.
And because of your generosity and because you're willing to pay for these 4D ultrasounds, science is proving to play a very big part in people's decision making.
Because when expecting moms are introduced to the miracle of birth within them and the baby growing in their womb and hearing their heartbeat and seeing images that distinctly show facial features and fingers and toes, yeah, those moms are far less likely to even contemplate abortion.
But they don't get a penny from the federal government like Planned Parenthood that gets tens and tens of millions.
They only do it because of your generosity and your support.
There are two ways you can donate to this great mission, this great cause that is really successful.
Dial pound250, say the keyword baby, pound250 on your cell, keyword baby, or donate at their website, preborn.com slash Sean S-E-A-N.
We'll continue.
Sean Hannity.
So Peter Ducey just asked Corinne Jean-Pierre about the Francois Mitterrand mess up.
Listen.
How is President Biden ever going to convince the three-quarters of voters who are worried about his physical and mental health that he is okay, even though in Las Vegas he told a story about recently talking to a French president who died in 1996?
I'm not even going to go to Michigan.
I'll just leave it there.
Go ahead.
Really?
Anyway, we'll take a break.
We'll come back.
We'll get Rand Paul's take on this bill and also talk a little bit more about what he's discovered about Anthony Fauci.
Later on, we'll introduce you to Bishop E.W. Jackson.
This is a guy that is trying to save lives in cities of the forgotten and abandoned.
And he's got a great mission, and I hope he's successful.
