Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound.
We'll all be enjoyed.
How them a jail.
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
Do you still rule out a run in 2024?
You gotta be kidding.
I am here celebrating the extraordinary accomplishments of the Biden Harris administration.
I'm not giving up this fight when a majority of Americans disapprove of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
We're going to win this state, and then we're going to tell crooked Joe Biden, you're fired.
Get out of here, you're violent.
The clock is ticking.
Only 250 days until the presidential election.
Yeah, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song From coast to coast.
From border to border.
From sea to shining sea.
Sean Hannity is on.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
It is 800-941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
Predictably you've got all the Democrats.
This is it.
Hunter testified today.
It's the end of the entire issue.
It's all over.
Don't worry about all the evidence that has been accumulated by the various committees as identified by James Comer and Jim Jordan and of course Jason Smith.
We're not going to pay any attention to that.
It's over.
Hunter did such a good job.
Nah, none of that is true according to my sources.
Now, we do have all three committee chairmen that will be on Hannity tonight, 9 Eastern.
You'll hear directly from them.
And the only thing I don't know or understand is why they why they were willing to give the consideration to Hunter Biden that they don't give to any other people.
Why in his deposition, why wasn't it videotaped?
I know we're going to get a transcription of the whole thing over time, but we'll find out.
But it is, but to listen, it's like listening to Dan Goldman, maybe one of the dumbest guys in the Congress.
This is the nail in the coffin.
This is it.
It's all over.
That's the same guy that when Devin Archer testified that in fact, yeah, Joe Biden used to call into all of these meetings with Hunter's foreign business associates, which blows out of the water Joe's massive lie as a candidate and as a president that he never one time, never ever, did he speak with Hunter or Jim, his brother, or anybody for that matter, about the foreign business deals, but yet he's calling into them.
And he's meeting at Cafe Milano with Russian oligarchs like Elena Batarina, who gave the the Biden family syndicate three and a half million dollars invested according to Devin Archer, another 120 million dollars in their Rosemont Seneca Real Estate Fund.
Wow.
It's an awful lot of money.
Apparently, there's evidence that she wanted to invest another 80 million more.
All of this will be coming out shortly.
Charles Grassley, got to give him a lot of credit.
Charles Grassley rightly blasted the FBI yesterday.
Remember, Christopher Ray himself was out there telling the world, telling the country that this uh you know that the informant of the on the 1023 form was one of their most trusted, one of their highest paid in the bureau.
This guy had worked with the Bureau since 2010.
Quote, they had successfully used the informant to prosecute criminals in the past.
By the way, all those cases now are probably subject to review.
And that he had been with the bureau for over a decade.
Since 2010.
Now, James Comer pointed out that Alexander Smirnoff has been important in the House Republicans' allegation that that Biden in fact uh was guilty of of knowing more and benefiting from this this family syndicate.
And that anyway, Republican lawmakers have often noted the conversations with Smirnov that he had with the FBI about the issue of Barisma.
Uh, but none of this negates some of the basic facts of the case.
As a matter of fact, the 1023 form was but one allegation, one small part of the evidence that we know about.
Like in the case of Barisma, it is the biggest slam dunk case of all of them.
Especially when you look at the timeline involved in this and the amount of money that Hunter was being paid.
What do we know?
We know that it became official Obama administration policy in October of 2015 that they would give loan guarantees to the country of Ukraine because they felt, after interagency analysis, that they had made enough progress on the issue of corruption that warranted the loan guarantees.
Okay, that's their official policy.
We know that in December of 2015, the same year that Joe Biden got on a phone call.
James Comer has told us this story numerous times, got on the phone with his son Hunter and Barisma executives when they were in Dubai.
Five days later, around five days later, Joe goes to Ukraine.
Then Joe at the Council of Foreign Relations admits that I told him You're not, you're not getting the billion dollars.
You're not going to get it.
Let me see.
You got six hours.
Fire the prosecutor, you're not getting the billion.
Son of a B. They fired the prosecutor.
Now, what else did we learn from Hunter himself?
Well, he gave probably the worst interview that a 50-year-old man has ever given any television network when he went on Good Morning America on ABC and admitted that he had no experience in energy, oil, gas, coal, or any experience in Ukraine.
But yet he was being paid millions of dollars to sit on the board of this Ukrainian oil and gas giant.
Now, why would you pay somebody with no experience all of this money?
And what was the result when Joe Biden got rid of the prosecutor investigating Barisma Holdings?
What was the net result of that official action that he took as vice president of the United States by leveraging one billion of your dollars?
Well, one of the things that happened, Hunter continued to get paid even though he had no experience, and I've got to add, and I'm sure it came up a lot today, if I had to bet, that Hunter was addicted to hard drugs at the time.
Now I'm glad that he's sober.
I think it's ridiculous.
The New York Post called it Hutzpah and the name is Biden, and that Hunter's complaint that the pressure from Republicans may push him off the drug and booze wagon that he's been on.
I don't want to see anybody return to addiction.
I don't care who you are, it's not political to me.
If you can overcome addiction that that ruins lives.
If he's gotten healthy and he's gotten sober, good for him.
Addiction, however, is irrelevant to what's undeniably established in the public record, and that is Hunter and his uncle Jim.
You know, they brought in millions of dollars by convincing foreign actors that, as Devin Archer referred to it, that the brand was was Joe Biden and Tony Bobelinski.
The big guy was Joe Biden.
And Joe played along and and Devin Archer even said he knows of at least 20 phone calls where Hunter was meeting with foreign business associates and Joe called in.
And then that idiot Dan Goldman said, Well, what did they talk about?
Well, I'm sure they just he just called in.
I mean, if you get a call from your son, you're not going to take a call from your son.
They probably just talked about the weather and pleasantries.
No, how about Joe was the closer?
As Greg Jarrett put in a column on Fox News.com today.
Joe was the guy that they were selling.
They were selling the Biden brand.
The Biden brand certainly wasn't Hunter.
It was Joe Biden.
And then if you look at the WhatsApp, and none of this, you know, with the FBI agent, just to fit close the circle, this FBI informant that Christopher Ray said was so reliable, I mean, and so trusted and one of the highest paid, and the informant was one of their most trusted, highest paid in the bureau, and that they successfully used this informant to prosecute criminals in the past.
Now, if I'm one of the criminals prosecuted, I'm reading this about the arrest of this guy, and I'm saying, okay, time to Time to bring this issue back to court because Alexander Smirnoff.
Now, it's not the first time they've gotten FBI informants character wrong.
Christopher Steele is probably exhibit A. But anyway, the family knew all about it.
You know, it doesn't none of this negates what the committees have described as shell corporations led by James Comer.
Shell corporations that according to him have no other business related reason for its existence except to shuffle money around from one account to another.
It doesn't explain why ten Biden family members were paid as he claims.
It doesn't explain what services were rendered for the tens of millions of dollars that they've identified went into family coffers from countries like China, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Romania, and so many others.
Doesn't explain any of these things.
The idea that we were told this is pretty unconscionable.
And Grassley just said, let me be clear.
The FBI consistently and publicly vouch for their source.
He is correct.
He said then the other week the Biden Justice Department made the source's name public for the world to see.
He said that the FBI originally told him that the source was so credible that they didn't want to make his name public.
He said in 2020 remember, the FBI said releasing the 1023 would put the confidential human sources' life in danger.
Then why did the FBI make his name known?
Apparently the FBI's excuse to withhold the document from Congress was pure smoke, he points out.
And the FBI's conduct is obviously absurd and a disservice to the American people.
And he pointed out, according to the Justice Department indictment, the FBI finally interviewed the FBI source in September of 2023.
We made the 1023 public just a few months prior on July 20th, 2023.
So clearly the FBI finally acted because of our release of the document.
In other words, we embarrassed them.
And by the time the document was over three years old, well, three years they didn't do their job.
So the 1023 sat with the FBI collecting dust until Congress acted.
And that's all, again, it doesn't negate all the other issues that have been brought up.
I love the New York Post editorial board.
And the Biden family defenders.
The latest is Hunter's complaint that pressure from Republicans may push him, you know, back to using drugs and alcohol.
I mean, that's the other thing.
Why is somebody how's somebody addicted to crack cocaine, admittedly, able to do multi-million dollar deals like this?
And I can tell you right now, I know for a fact there is a lot more, and I know all the people at uh all these leftist groups uh that are monitoring every second of the show, saying that we got no, we got our facts right during the Russia hoax.
Our facts are right here, too.
But this is a pivotal moment.
I don't know if they'll ultimately get the impeachment they want because they have such a small majority, but that's that's neither here nor there.
The American people know and deserve to know the truth in all of this.
Now we'll get to Mitch McConnell's uh resigning, I guess in November or resigning the Senate minority position.
Leading names, whether you like them or not, are Barrasso, Cornyn, and Thuon.
We'll see if any others put their hat in the ring and we'll know over time.
But the reality is that they made all this money.
What services did they render for this money?
What areas of expertise were tapped into with Hunter Biden and his business partners?
Why did they make these massive amounts of money?
Why did Joe Biden lie about never having spoken to his brother, his son, or anybody about these issues?
When in fact, he's at Cafe Milano with the Russian oligarch Elena Baterina and meeting many other foreign business associates.
How come that is not top of mind?
That has nothing to do with the 1023 form.
Most of the facts in the case have nothing to do with the 1023 form.
But the FBI now has a habit of paying informants that are wrong.
Christopher Steele's dirty Russian disinformation dossier, exhibit A. That resulted in four separate Pfizer warrants to spy on Trump, his campaign, his transition team.
And then after you know, three long years of the media mob, MSDNC leading the way along with fake news CNN, along with the Washington Post and the New York Times peddling these conspiracy theories, Trump Russia collusion, all based on a bought and paid for dirty dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton.
Bruce Or's admonition and warning in August of 2016 turned out to be right.
This is a political document.
You can't trust it.
Pretty unbelievable times we're living in.
Anyway, I look forward to having Jordan and Comer and others on tonight.
House Republicans, by the way, have subpoenaed the tapes and the transcripts of Biden's brain fog interview with the special counsel Robert Herr when he didn't remember the years he was vice president, didn't within years remember the date of his son's death, because his cognitive struggle is now a major issue in this campaign, and House Republicans have subpoenaed the DOJ for the records, and they have every right to them.
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, I'm not sure what to make of this.
Biden said he made an unannounced visit to Walter Reed for his annual physical exam.
Maybe they just didn't want to tell us before the day that it happened.
But oh, and one other bit of good news, Kamala Harris is now saying college students are now going to get paid with taxpayer dollars to register voters ahead of 2024.
Well, do you think they're going to be registering a lot of Republicans?
I tend to think not.
And I think if we're going to have that, well, you ought to have an equal number of m uh amount of money going to Republican.
Well, first of all, what is the federal government doing involved in this anyway?
Especially when we have 34 trillion in debt.
Guess what?
We can't afford it.
Let's start there with that.
Anyway, we got a lot of ground to cover today.
We'll get into this uh the hearings with Alan Derschwitz, Greg Jarrett coming up.
Rand Paul of Kentucky will join us today.
Bill O'Reilly, all things simple man coming up today.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Toll-free telephone numbers, 800-941 Sean, if you want to join us.
Uh listen, Pure Talk believes in American values, and they believe that free should mean that.
And here's the beauty of a Pure Talk, a veteran-owned company.
Now, the great news is the average family saves close to a thousand dollars a year, and they offer the exact same service as ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile.
What does that mean?
They use the same 5G network.
They use the same cell towers as the big carriers, and you save all that money.
And things even look better today, because right now, if you make the switch, which is simple and fast and easy, you're going to get a free Samsung 5G smartphone.
They don't have any four-line requirement, no activation fee.
You only get a Samsung that is built to last.
It has a quick charging battery, it has top-tier data security.
Anyway, qualifying plans start at 35 bucks a month.
You get unlimited talk and text, 15 gigs of data, and you get mobile hotspot.
And you'll have the most dependable 5G network that the big carriers use and the same cell towers.
Anyway, making the switch, well, just go pill pull out your cell phone, dial pound 250, say the keywords, save now, and get your free brand new Samsung 5G smartphone as well.
That's pound 250 keywords, save now, and get the same exact service and save a fortune and get a free phone at the same time.
Hunter Biden now, apparently I'm getting more insight from my sources that uh was telling lawmakers on Capitol Hill that other people that have testified have been lying, and that the chairman of these committees have been relying on lying witnesses and that they have been engaged in sensationalism to falsely accuse his father of illegally participating in foreign business deals.
Well, what is the explanation?
Why did Devin Archer testify?
Is he lying, Devin Archer, when he said that he knows of at least 20 meetings with Hunter and his foreign business partners and that Joe called into these meetings?
Why would Joe Biden say over and over again he never once talked to his son about these things?
Why did he meet at the Cafe Milano with Hunter's foreign business partners like the Russian oligarch, former First Lady of Moscow?
Anyway, uh Hunter, now 54, accused Republicans of leading the inquiry of Taking emails they obtained out of context.
What?
When you say that half my income goes to Pops, what did you mean by that then?
Or that you're asking the financial head of your company, um, what account should I take out money to pay for Pops home repairs?
Is that all taken out of context too?
Why were you, Hunter, paid millions of dollars when you have no experience at all whatsoever in energy at a time when you're addicted to drugs?
Why were you paid by not one but two countries' huge oil and gas conglomerates?
One being Ukraine and Barisma, and the other being CEFC and China.
You know, what what qualifications?
Why would they pay you millions of dollars?
What services did you render?
What about these accounts that we've discovered that show no other business activity except being used for the transfer of monies here and there?
Why did your family members, including grandchildren, get paid out of these monies?
Huh?
What about Tony Bobelinski?
You're calling him a liar too.
Anyway, Hunter goes on.
For more than a year, your committees have hunted me in your partisan political pursuit of my dad.
You have traffic and innuendo distortion and sensationalism, all while ignoring the clear and convincing evidence, staring you in the face.
You do not have evidence to support the baseless and MAGA motivated conspiracies about my father because there isn't any.
Really?
I'd love an explanation.
Why would all these countries be paying somebody at a time in their life that they were struggling?
Addicted to hard drugs.
Not we're not talking about, you know, somebody addicted to weed every day or smoke weed every day.
No, we're talking about crack cocaine.
And we have that evidence on the laptop, too.
Anyway, lead impeachment uh prober, James Comer counted, well, the House Oversight, Judiciary, Ways and Means Committees have unearthed a record of evidence revealing that Joe Biden was the brand, and that his family was selling that brand to enrich the entire family.
And that Joe Biden knew of, participated in, and benefited from these schemes, as evidenced by some of the information they found on his laptop.
It's going to be very interesting tonight to talk to all of the committee chairmen that were in this tonight.
Things are getting interesting.
I'll tell you another thing that is now coming to the forefront.
For the first time, the American people now support building the wall.
And the numbers are growing daily.
Now, you go back to this entire issue and think of where we started.
Remember the kids in the middle of the pandemic?
I remember well because I tried to get my cameras to go into these overcrowded cages that Joe Biden had built for these kids at the border.
I mean, when I say overcrowded, they were like stepping all over each other.
If you want, I'll show you the video again tonight.
And if it wasn't for Senator Ted Cruz, who was generous enough to share video he took when he actually went into these facilities in the middle of a pandemic and showed us the overcrowded conditions that the country became aware of it.
We had the images of all those people under the bridge.
We had all these, you know, migrant caravans that we covered, all of them.
Estimated anywhere between, you know, seven and ten million illegal immigrants, most of them unvetted.
And what a danger it is from the countries that they're coming from, which I keep reminding you about.
But it's uh now costing every, you know, every town, every city in America is now a border town.
And it's costing cities and towns a fortune because they have to house Joe's illegal, unvetted immigrants.
They have to feed them.
They have to offer health care when needed.
Now they're inundating our school system with their children.
Many of these children don't speak English.
It's not like these school systems have the ability to hire more teachers that will teach English as a as a second language.
That's taking away resources from American children.
You know, Georgia Mayer was brutally heckled at a press conference uh earlier today over his perceived sanctuary city policies after the murder of this young nursing student, Lakin Riley, at the hands of this uh alleged, but we do know illegal immigrant from Venezuela.
One man shouted, you're a liar at the Athens mayor, Kelly uh Gertz, according to a report by Fox News Digital.
Many of the elements.
Many of the elements, liar.
We're here to listen.
You're a liar.
You're Here to listen.
You are guilty of blood on your head for this murder, sir.
Many of the aspects that are ascribed to sanctuary cities.
We know what sanctuary cities are things that are disallowed by Georgia Law.
You're the one that's guilty, and you're the one with blood on your hands, sir.
Athens doesn't have an official sanctuary city policy, but Gertz has come under fire for what critics are calling a soft stance on illegal immigrants, including signing a 2019 city resolution that declared the county is, quote, welcoming to people from all lands and backgrounds.
Well, that's as close to saying you're a sanctuary city without getting the official designation.
No legislation from this government created sanctuary city status.
But the reality is this Joe Biden inherited secure borders.
You know, this morning Hunter was if you look at these policies, what did Joe do in the first hundred days when he was president?
He rescinded all the Trump policies that were working.
All of them.
He just rescinded them.
You have a Biden illegal arrested for killing a two-year-old Maryland toddler.
How many of these cases have we not heard about?
I have my research staff, my crackerjack research staff now looking at all the crimes that have been committed and violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants against innocent Americans.
Why?
Because the border is wide open.
Well, one of Joe Biden's illegal immigrants has been charged with the murder of a two-year-old toddler whose mother was wheeling him down the street in a stroller when he was hit by gunfire.
In this case, the illegal immigrant from El Salvador had been arrested and charged with murder in connection to the February 8th slaying of a two-year-old Maryland boy and the wounding of the boy's mother, severe injuries prior to the alleged killing of the child, Salvadorian National.
We know his name was twice arrested and twice freed in a nearby Sanctuary County, despite an outstanding removal order and detainer request from immigration officials.
Well, at what point do we not blame the people that have allowed this to continue?
The ones that told us for three years, you know, and running that the border's secure when our own eyes told us otherwise.
The ones that said the borders closed, then we saw it differently.
Now the people are saying, well, Republicans, you know, I've done everything I can do, but they won't give me the they won't help me.
Well, you don't need their help.
You didn't need their help when you opened the borders up.
And you rescinded the policies that were working.
We have an update on our Biden illegal immigrant roundup.
You know, this Venezuelan uh illegal immigrant, you know, stopped and released at the border five months ago.
We now know has been charged in Virginia with raping a 14-year-old girl.
Well, who do we blame for these crimes at some point?
And if I'm right in my prediction that when you look at the countries where a lot of these illegals are coming from, starting with Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, their satellite country, Syria, Egypt, the home of the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda from Afghanistan, all the people coming from Afghanistan, China, and Russia, tens of thousands coming from those countries.
Why are they making their way to our southern border?
How many of them are coming in and maybe they want to be spies or maybe terror cells have been formed in this country and they're plotting and planning and scheming their next attack on our homeland.
Anyway, in this particular case, this illegal immigrant charged with raping a 14-year-old girl, arrested on two felony charges for sexually assaulting an underage uh child, according to Campbell County executives that they have announced.
And authorities point out that this uh citizen from Venezuela has been in the country illegally since he crossed the southern border in El Paso, Texas on September the second.
Detained and released by the U.S. uh customs and border protection, but under again, under the orders of Aljandro Mayorcis and Joe Biden.
You have an illegal Guatemalan national arrested in Boston, convicted of sexual assault on a child under 14.
In this case, arrested, convicted, assault, battery of the child age 14, according to the enforcement removal operations in Boston.
The individual represented a dire threat to the residents of Massachusetts, they said.
Unlawfully present, convicted sex offenders should not be given the opportunity to reoffend.
There's only one answer is to send people home.
If you don't respect our laws, our borders, our sovereignty, then you enter this country illegally.
End of sentence.
We have a legal system of immigration.
Follow the law.
You have the second highest court in the state of New York has ruled that a law enacted by the New York City Council that allowed illegal immigrants to vote in municipal elections is null and it is void.
Yeah, they've been allowing illegals to vote in New York City in local elections.
You know, this surge is bringing, you know, Ray Kelly said this.
Betsy McCoy writes in her column in the New York Post that Ray Kelly, former NYPD conditioner, that the city's quality of life is really deteriorated.
Yeah, no kidding.
It's not safe anymore.
They're the most dangerous gangs on the planet, he talked about.
These gangs that take over American cities, and we saw that in Times Square with cops getting beaten up.
It's not broad daylight, but it's lit up like a Christmas tree all over Times Square.
You can see as well as you can see in the middle of the daytime.
At what point do these people get held accountable?
Denver's cutting some city employees' hours down to zero.
Why?
Because they don't have the money because of all the money they're spending on taking care of all the illegal immigrants of Joe Biden.
New York City taxpayers are being fleeced for millions of dollars on rushed and overpriced no big contracts for illegal immigrant services.
I mean, they're they're paying a fortune on these no bid contracts.
Well, that's insane.
And after New York, the New York mayor blasted, has been blasted for these apartments that are given to illegal immigrants.
Well, I mean, there are people that work for me that live in New York City that have lived in New York C. They live in basically a closet that they're paying thousands of dollars a month for.
And then illegal immigrants are getting, you know, two three-bedroom apartments.
Paid for courtesy of taxpayers.
That sound right to you.
We have a new Emerson College poll showing Donald Trump leading Biden in seven out of seven swing states.
Wow.
I know a lot of people are now getting angry.
I'm not angry with Nikki Haley.
It just makes no sense to me.
If I had been her campaign advisor, I would have said, Yeah, you might want to wait in four years is going to be an open primary, and the polls show you're going to lose your home state by a massive amount.
She did.
It was a landslide in South Carolina for Donald Trump.
She came in third in Iowa.
She lost by double digits in New Hampshire, and she lost two to one in Nevada by none of the above.
Not exactly going well.
Michigan last night, she lost by 40 some odd points.
That's a crazy amount.
Why is she staying in?
You know, some people are getting mad.
They're saying, well, now that's going to force the Trump people to focus their time and attention and money and resources on a primary when the primary is over.
Well, she'll stay in another week till Super Tuesday.
Hundred thousand Michigan Democrats cast primary ballots against Joe Biden.
Wow.
Over a hundred thousand voters marked uncommitted on their ballots in Tuesday's Democratic primary.
Nearly 14% of voters there.
Not exactly a vote of confidence of Joe Biden.
And Trump, by the way, leading in the state of Michigan.
So we'll see what happens.
Anyway, 800 941 Sean on number.
If we have all things simple man Bill O'Reilly coming up, Senator Rand Paul coming up.
