He's going to exact a bloodbath?
There's something wrong here.
So everyone get ready for the language.
Uterus.
That part of the body needs a lot of medical care from time to time.
He was made able to touch some.
It was made, and I was able to touch some of my own hands.
Very brixie made.

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.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Here's our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the uh program.
Uh explosive hearings uh on Capitol Hill yesterday as Tony Bobelinski uh he he held nothing back going after Democrats uh on this uh committee, the House Oversight Committee on issues involving the Biden family syndicate as we affectionately refer to it.
And here's him saying that Biden was an active in the family business.
Joe Biden was more than a participant in and a beneficiary of his family's business.
He was an active, aware enabler who met with business associates such as myself to further the business despise being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.
Mr. Bob Olinsky, who's the big guy?
Are you sure about that?
Because when uh Joe Biden you're sure?
I'm a thousand percent sure.
Because when Hunter Biden did his deposition under oath, he said, I don't know who it is, even though he was copied on an email that said H will hold 10% for the big guy.
You sure it's the big guy is is Joe Biden?
A thousand percent, and there's other text messages that back that up.
And then maybe the best moment of of this exchange yesterday with Bob Bolinski is the showdown with Jamie Raskin.
Listen to that.
That the same people preaching this mantra know better.
They continue to lie directly to the American people without hesitation and remorse.
Rep Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers, and Mr. Goldman, a former prosecutor with the SDN Live from New York, will continue to lie today in this hearing and then go straight to the media to tell more lies.
Anyway, joining us now is Peter Schweitzer, and we all know Peter, he's the president of the Government Accountability Institute and host of his own drill down podcast.
Uh uh, by the way, his new book is out.
It's a number one New York Times bestseller.
It's called Blood Money, while the powerful turn of blind eye while China is killing Americans.
Uh anyway, Peter, always great to have you back.
How are you, sir?
I'm great, Sean.
Always great to be with you.
Thanks for having me.
You know, the thing that really defines you in my mind, and this goes back to 2018 when you release Secret Empires, is the amount of research that that you that goes into every one of your books and everything that you're doing at the Government Accountability Institute.
I mean, you you find this information.
Nobody knew in 2018 that the whole issue of the Bidens and and money that they're making in Ukraine and China and Romania and Russia, that it would be this big a story that it is now rightly become.
Uh a lot of it rooted in the hard work you did behind the scenes, and it even took a couple of years after you released Secret Empires for people to fully understand the magnitude of what actually was going on with the Biden family.
I thought Tony Bobelinski in particular yesterday, you know, shed a lot of light on this.
No, I think you're right, Sean, and yeah, in 2018 I wrote the book.
Uh it was really my appearance uh on your radio and television programs that really brought it to national attention.
And it does take time uh sometimes for these narratives, these stories, these facts to uh go out uh and and be adopted by people and for people to see them.
Uh and I think Boblinsky did a fantastic job yesterday.
Uh I've met with him a couple of times, and the thing about Tony is he's not political, and uh you can't really uh attack him personally.
They're they're trying to do that, uh, Sean, because they can't attack the facts that he's stating.
Uh but this is a guy who loves his country, he's not political.
Uh he's made uh his own money, so they can't try to uh get at him in any way.
Um and I think they see him as probably the biggest threat uh to uh you know winning this uh this battle over uh the Biden crime family and exposing everything that they've done.
It was a fascinating exchange with AOC yesterday, the leader of the squad, uh as she was, you know, asking uh Bob Olinsky to list the crimes, and then at one point she says, Well, RICO is not a crime.
And actually it is a crime.
It's codified at 18 USC uh 19 uh one nine six one to one nine six eight.
So she was wrong, but this exchange gets interesting.
Listen to the case.
Did you witness the president commit a crime?
Is it your testimony today?
Yes.
And what crime do you have you witness?
How much time do I have to go through it?
It is simple.
You name the crime.
Uh you watch him steal something.
Corruption statutes, RICO and consumers.
What is it?
What is what is the crime, sir?
You you specifically asked me to answer the question.
I answered the question.
No Rico, you're obviously not familiar with corrupt.
Excuse me, sir.
RICO is not a crime.
It is a category.
What is the category of crimes that you're then charging?
You have charges.
You have charges.
Sir, please name exact statute on RICO.
I mean, there were numerous moments like this, but Bobelinski at one point didn't tolerate any of the BS.
He said no evidence is being provided of any sort of wrongdoing by the president.
And he just goes to Representative Garcia.
That's just a blatant lie.
And just laid him out flat.
I mean, just like the exchange with Raskin.
I mean, it was a beatdown.
Yeah, it was.
Uh it was, Sean.
And if anybody, and I don't know who would, but if anybody had a mind to get legal advice from AOC, I guess they're probably not going to do that anymore, and that's a good thing.
No, I mean, the the Democrats have really attacked this two ways.
One is is kind of these ridiculous statements like AOC's that there's no crime that has been committed.
No, that crime doesn't exist.
Uh the other one is to uh try to minimize and deflect Joe Biden's role.
And and Bob Linsky was correct.
When you look at RICO, when you look at conspiracy, when you look at these other crimes that uh Greg Jarrett and others have talked about on your program, um Joe Biden's role is essential.
Puncher may be the one that is, you know, doing the meetings and collecting the money, but absent Joe Biden, uh this criminal activity could not take place.
So Joe Biden is the sun around which all the planets, the Biden family planets have to revolve, and he's an essential ingredient to this.
And you know, what what people have to realize, Sean, is is you know, what is the precedent that's established here?
If this is not a crime, if they're going to insist this is not a crime, where do we go from here?
The the the next president, the president after that, the next vice president, the next Secretary of Defense.
I guess according to their standards, it's okay for them all now to start, you know, have their adult children take millions of dollars from the Chinese, uh performing no services in response, pay to play.
It's apparently now all acceptable because they want to create the Biden rule, uh the Biden exception.
Um and the fact of the matter is is Tony Bobelinsky was was square on, uh he was untouchable, and I think he did a great job.
And I think we need a little bit more of this uh from Republicans.
We've got guys on on Capitol Hill like Jim Jordan who are doing a great job, but you we have to be direct.
Uh We have to aim accurately and we have to be unrelenting in laying out the facts.
That's the only way that this battle is going to be won.
It's been a little frustrating to me when I find as a talk show host at times with certain people that I seem to know more or have a better ability than they have of laying out the basic fundamental facts here.
And I thought Tony Bobolinski did this very successful successfully yesterday, you know, on the issue of a meeting between Bob Olinsky and Joe Biden that took place, I think at the uh uh where was it one of the famous hotel out in California, I forget off the top of my head,
but they had this 45 or 50 minute meeting, and and at one point Bob Olinsky, you know, was asked what you know about the meeting, and he gave his answer, and that he was even coached by Hunter ahead of time how to deal with the meeting that went on 45 50 minutes, as they said.
And then you go back to the depositions of James Biden and Hunter Biden, and James Biden said was asked if there was a meeting between Bob Olinsky and Joe Biden.
He said, Absolutely not.
Hunter said, My dad went and shook hands with Tony, and Bob Olinsky said Hunter Biden in his own transcribed interview confirmed that the meeting took place.
Hunter conver confirmed that his uncle perjured himself in front of this committee.
He accused both Hunter and James Biden of perjury.
Uh and there seems to be enough evidence to back it up.
If we just stick with the fundamentals, Peter, and and you don't need to go any further.
Now you tell me how many boards are going to hire somebody with zero experience and an admitted drug addict at the time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, exactly right, Sean.
And and the the problem that the Democrats are trying to take advantage of, corruption stories are often not simple stories.
You know, okay, you get the really dumb politician who takes a shoebox of cash uh from somebody who's got a wire from the FBI and they get nailed.
That doesn't really happen much anymore.
It's become much more sophisticated than that.
And and the Bidens have done that.
Remember, they created these shell companies, uh, Sean.
It wasn't them taking the money directly.
They created a a cloud of shell companies through which to run this money.
Uh they would give ridiculous explanations to investigators when asked, why did this Chinese official send you money?
Uh uh Hunter Biden said that five million dollars arrived.
It was good faith seed money, even though there was no uh paperwork or anything uh about that five million dollars uh being given.
So they obscure it and they run the hope that they can run out the clock, and they really want to firmly believe that they can make this muddy the waters complicated.
Um but you're exactly right.
That the the challenge that Republicans need to do is stick simply to the facts, the irrevotable facts.
And what the Democrats have not been able to do for all the efforts of Jamie Raskin and the others, those facts haven't moved because those facts are true and accurate and real.
And nobody has still ever given a plausible explanation of why they got this money, why the Biden's got uh uh uh we discovered some thirty-one million dollars from China, why he got millions from Ukraine, why he got three point five million dollars from Yelena Botarina in Russia.
There's no discernible legitimate business service or product that was ever provided.
Um and if you look at the poll, Sean, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Harvard Harris have all in recent months done polling on this, and they all asked, did Joe Biden engage in highly unethical behavior or illegal behavior to enrich his family?
And every one of those polls, a minimum of sixty-five percent of the American people said yes.
So the American people get it.
Uh the Democrats' effort to obscure it have not worked, and we need to keep hammering home the message so we can hold them accountable.
Quick break.
We will come back.
We'll continue more with Peter Schweitzer.
Uh his new book, number one New York Times bestseller, Blood Money, while the powerful turn a blind eye while China Kills Americans, Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country.
I bowl with Peter Schweitzer is number one New York Times bestseller just out blood money while the powerful turn a blind eye while China kills Americans, uh Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country as well.
We continue with Peter Schweitzer.
Go Back to the fundamental point.
Why would Joe Biden lie repeatedly, both as a candidate and a president that he never one time ever spoke to his son, brother, or anybody for that matter about the foreign business deals, only to have testimony from the likes of Devin Archer that he was aware of at least 20 times Joe Biden had called in to some of the meetings with foreign business partners.
Then, of course, famous meetings at the Cafe Milano with people like one you just mentioned, Elena Batarina.
Then, of course, it was 3.5 million from the Russian oligarch, former First Lady of Moscow.
Then, according to Archer, another hundred million plus invested in a real estate venture, or then this guy Galanus testifying of a 2014 phone call with then Vice President Biden, and then we got pictures of them meeting and eating dinner together.
And we don't even have a final number.
We have shell corporations identified by the Oversight Committee.
What were the companies used for?
What legitimate business purpose were they used for?
Why did ten Biden family members get paid?
What did the grandchildren do to get paid for?
What services did they run render for the money they got paid?
We don't get answers to any of these questions.
No, we don't.
Um and look, I think the other thing that's becoming apparent and clear, I mean, uh the reporting that you've done and John Solomon has done on Ukraine, um, is that this is not just a case.
I mean, it's bad enough that you have a political family enriching themselves uh in this way, but this corruption actually has consequences.
It affects people's lives.
Um, you know, in the new book, Blood Money, I talk about the fact that you know, five million dollars that the Biden's got in 2017 came from this interest free forgivable loan from a Chinese businessman.
That businessman happened to be at the time business partners with a guy who goes by the name White Wolf, who's the head of a criminal syndicate in China who helped set up the Sinaloa cartel in the Sentinel trade.
So is it really a surprise that Joe Biden won't confront the Chinese on Sentinel?
He doesn't want to bring it up.
Is it is it really any surprise that um he takes the policy positions towards China that he does, or that he's adopted the posture in Ukraine that he does?
No, this is a consequence of the corruption.
So it's not just Hunter Biden and Joe Biden uh or Jim Biden getting paid.
This actually affects the lives of Americans and the policies that this president is carrying out or not carrying out, corruption consequences.
Can you imagine the dossiers that the Russians and communist Chinese have on Hunter?
Anyway, Peter Schweitzer uh is his new book is out, number one New York Times bestseller.
It's called Blood Money, why the powerful turn of blind eye while China Kills Americans.
I want to bring you back at a future date and talk about all the information about TikTok that you accumulated and what a real clear present danger it is.
Uh the information is eye-opening to say the least.
Uh, but anyway, we'll put a link on Hannity.com.
It's in bookstores around the country, Amazon.com as well.
Peter, uh, congrats on another number one best seller.
Well, thanks so much, Sean.
Thanks so much for having me on.
800-941 Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
Standing up for what's right with America.
We're back on the Sean Hannity show.
Republicans are now fighting back.
Let me play their recent RNC ad hitting Biden hard on the economy.
Listen to this.
Fucking inflation.
No one's talking about this great, great deal.
So again, if it turns out that what I've done so far, what we've done so far, is a mistake.
It's gonna show.
On issue number one of the economy, it's a pretty poor outlook from the American people.
Biden is not getting good marks on the economy right now.
Only 31% uh say that they approve of Biden's handling of the economy.
Only 36% believe Biden can make good decisions on economic policy.
That's a 20-point drop since 2021.
I wonder why.
49% bad, 26% good in terms of how people feel about Bidenomics.
It's in the cellar.
3362 on the economy.
Uh he's he's as almost as much underwater as he's ever been.
Seventy-eight percent of voters view the economy negatively, and 67% say the worst isn't over yet.
His handling of inflation in particular remains low.
President Biden's rating on handling inflation in higher prices is underwater by 40 points.
A lot of people think the prices would continue to go up under his policies.
You should see a 10-point advantage for Republicans on the issue of the economy.
Now what I've been pointing out now for recent days, we're 228 days outside of election day, is Joe Biden is at a really bad spot.
And that spot is he's trying to shore up his base.
I went through all the numbers earlier in the show today.
They're bad.
He's losing what over he's down in uh below water from 2020, 22% with African Americans.
He had 93, I'm sorry, with Hispanic Americans.
With African Americans, he had 93% support in 2020.
Now he's down to 66%.
So, you know, he goes out, makes this West Coast trip, and he's trying to appeal to his base to come back home.
In the middle of it, of course, you get the the mumbling, the bumbling, the stumbling, the gaffes, the blunders, and then of course him telling Hispanic voters, oh, I need you badly.
Well, they don't need his policies, which are hurting every American.
That's the point.
And then, of course, playing the race car.
Trump despises Latinos.
No, he doesn't.
Because under Donald Trump, the African American uh unemployment rate was at its lowest level ever.
Set record after record after record.
Same with Hispanic Americans.
The same with Asian Americans.
The same with women in the workplace.
The same with African American youth unemployment.
Yeah, the Trump policies did that.
Not the Biden policies that are hurting all of us.
Anyway, here's Joe and his recent trip.
Thank you, Representative Stanton, for your dedication to the people of the Fourth District and for the passport anyway.
Well, we couldn't be here today because the votes in Washington, I won't know the business round table.
Please have a seat, by the way.
You all stand.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize you're still saying.
Apologize.
Make no problem, everybody has a right to organize, man, to have their labor rights protected.
This can expand their engineering to over 10,000 additional students.
10,000 different engineers.
This election is not a referendum on me.
It's an election between me and a guy named Trump.
And uh and uh this is a guy who uh whose way he talks about the Latino community is uh well 2016 he called Latinos criminal drug dealers and rapists when he came down to an escalator.
Now he says immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.
You're the reason why, in large part I beat Donald Trump.
I need you.
I need you badly.
He separated kids and parents at the border, then he changed the children.
He's planning mass deportations of literally 7 million people who are here in this country.
Several million people in birth rate citizenship.
Now uh this guy despised Latino.
I understand Latino values.
Of course, play the race card.
One thing he can't run on is are you better off than you were four years ago?
All right, let's get to our busy, busy phones.
Ron is in the state of Taxa Chusetts, good old Massachusetts.
What's going on in the Northeast, sir?
How are you?
Sean, thanks for the privilege.
I'm uh I'm actually calling from Maguset.
I'm not sure Massachusetts is gonna go for Donald Trump, but if it happened, that would be uh history in the making for sure.
We're we're working on it.
Um yesterday there was uh actually many times I hear callers call in and they'll say, What can we do?
Like everybody feels powerless.
Um I've got a I've got two ideas uh quickly is um there's the gofundme out there from Cardone.
Um I don't know if everybody's seen it, but um it basically if you Google stand with Trump on GoFundMe, uh I think they have a million and a half raised so far.
It just hasn't uh gotten a lot of traction.
I don't think a lot of people are have been exposed to it.
Um but also um obviously you can donate to the campaign.
Um I've given uh more than twenty dollars to each, which is not a lot of money, but seventy-five million of us voted for Trump in 2020.
If we if we gave him 40 dollars each, that's uh three billion dollars.
So that's some quick math right there.
But the other idea is that we do these standouts and these rallies on overpasses, highway overpasses on the bridges.
And we just put the flags up on the chain-link fence, and the people that are driving underneath can see.
And the one that I do is a spot called Green Lodge Street Bridge in Canton.
and basically the traffic on a Saturday night morning it's a traffic jam so it's a captive audience and um we've got Trump flags we've got conservative issue flags I also have flags for I do them around the holidays too because it's uh it's important I want the people to know that it's uh it's not just about Trump but it's about our society and our culture and and the traditions that we love.
And we do some theatrics we have like a guitar where where we do like air guitar and play music and uh we are you know wear c uh wear costumes that are uh that are lined to the holidays so we just did St. Patrick's Day for instance and we're gonna do um uh tax day so uh the Saturday before tax day I got a uh uh Uncle Sam outfit and things like that so those are the ideas that I have like those are things that everybody
can do.
I know that we're all busy I'm working three jobs myself uh but you know what um my country I I love my country I've served my country my country's worth way more than forty dollars to me it's worth uh way more than just uh getting out and showing support uh for uh Trump and um and uh America as well so those are my thoughts and I wanted to see what you had to say.
Listen, I I applaud everybody's effort whatever the effort is um and I will tell you it's an all hands on deck moment.
I I I can't this this is an inflection point for the country.
These are consequential times.
These policies are failing spectacularly I don't know how many different ways I can say it I can talk about the border more.
I could talk about the horrible economic policies more.
I could talk more about law and order policies of the left and the damage it's doing and the the harm it's causing I could talk about failed government schools.
I could talk about a disastrous foreign policy that is making the world a much more dangerous place and and I just hope that Americans will feel the sense of urgency that I feel and obviously you feel and and my advice is to do whatever whatever wherever your heart guides you follow your heart.
And for a lot of people that means maybe maybe stopping by your local Republican you know meeting house whatever it happens to be or office and saying can I volunteer?
And for people with money maybe it's as simple as writing a check.
For other people maybe it's it's gonna be you know contacting the RNC and saying you know what I'd like to be a trained partisan observer for election day and and learn how to do it and that would be extraordinarily helpful.
Uh I hope the Republican Party gets gets their act together and has partisan observers especially in every important swing state and every precinct people watching the voting all day the vo vote counting all night I hope that Republicans up their effort and convince other conservatives and Republicans to vote early and vote by mail and and don't reject that it's the bad system we're stuck with but we can't change it until Republicans win elections.
I hope people will also step up their efforts with legal ballot harvesting that pretty much has been mastered by the Democrats so they don't have that advantage and I just say to everybody you know it's all hands on deck whatever you can do and I and I do appreciate that there are many people just like you that have to work three jobs and I'm sure probably to make ends meet that means to keep your home or or pay your rent pay your car payment uh take care of your kids send them to School,
clothe them, you know, just bare necessities.
I'm not even talking about, you know, the the extras in life that we often take for granted.
I mean, I'm when it gets expensive to go to McDonald's, and I'm not I'm not dissing McDonald's.
McDonald's is just reflecting where the economy is.
And the occasion that I I do kind of cheat and I'll have like a quarter pound of a cheese meal.
It's not very often, but when I do, I'm I'm like, holy m I mean, eighteen bucks.
I mean, it's crazy.
I don't mind paying it.
I really don't.
I can afford it.
So I'm not complaining.
But for people that that can't afford it, and and really, you know, they can afford it at seven bucks, but they can't afford it at eight at 15 or 16 or 17 or 18 bucks.
That's a lot of money to them.
And I hope people are seeing and feeling.
I hope the pain, which is often a great awakener in life, is waking people up to how bad things are.
And my hope is that will motivate them to realize the importance uh of the moment that we're living in, the important times we're living in, the consequential nature of this election.
I'm hoping.
And you know, all next week it's gonna be well, we're gonna watch America become a banana republic right before our eyes, as New York will try to basically take Donald Trump's properties.
You know, for what reason, I don't know.
Anyway, Ron, I hope that uh I hope I wish you the best of luck in all your efforts.
I really do.
I appreciate you trying to inspire other people to do the same.
Linda in Texas, how are you, Linda, the free state of Texas?
I am fine, okay.
Glad you called.
What's on your mind today?
Well, I'm a 25-year-old realtor in the state of Texas, and so I know I don't know everything about every state, but I do know that what they're doing has got to him for these uh this loan fraud is completely ridiculous.
Every person that applies for any type of loan in any uh commercial, residential, anything, it doesn't matter.
It is the due diligence of the banking institute to use a third party appraiser to evaluate that property.
They will ask you what you th that you think your property is worth to begin the process.
It's just an application, and then you become uh in the realm of the ballot of the bank's due diligence to come out with a uh true appraisal of the how of the property or the home or whatever you're loaning on.
But in that case, it makes me very angry that people don't know a little more about real estate, and I'm sure Trump does.
So he's looking at it like this is crazy.
Uh because I would be the same way.
Your appraiser has to approve the loan value for the bank.
And it's a third party, they're independents.
They're not trying to be on either person's side.
So that had to all be in process before he ever got these loans.
And I don't know why.
And and by the way, you're not talking about a little amount of money here.
This is not your average hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred thousand dollar, you know, condo, townhouse, home, or whatever it happened.
I mean, you're talking about hundreds, hundreds of millions of dollars.
No lending institution is gonna give that much money to anybody ever.
Absolutely.
Unless they do due diligence and their their own valuations.
And then the judge to value Mar-a-Lago at 18 million.
No, uh I I keep telling people look online, look at Zillow, look at any of these real estate websites.
Palm Beach, waterfront property.
Look at the prices.
I've looked at them and I've shown some of the properties.
You know, two-acre empty lot, dirt, 200 million dollars on the ocean, Palm Beach, Florida.
Crazy.
I mean, insane, but that's that's a real number.
I didn't make it up.
Anyway, I appreciate your good call.
You're raising great points, Linda.
800 941 Shawn is our number.
I just want to wrap things up for today.
A great Hannity tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel.
Remember the gold star dad that was arrested during the State of the Union.

He'll join us tonight.

Uh, we'll look at the the poll numbers of Biden just tanking.
Uh, we'll check in on the economy with uh Larry Cudlow, Jim Jordan on the latest in Washington, Darrell Lisa, much more.
Say you D VR, nine Eastern tonight, Hannity on Fox.
