Dr. Ronnie Jackson, Congressman Ronnie Jackson, you know, he's come under fire for really You don't really need a medical degree to observe what we have pointed out for over four and a half years and the media has known about, but is covered up and ignored, and that is that Joe Biden is weak and frail in a cognitive mess.
I mean, when I first started pointing it out, and I thought it started talking about Sippy Cup and there's Joe, and he's wobbling along, and and I hold these churches to me stuff out and all men and women are created by the thing.
Oh, you know the the thing.
You mean God, the creator, the creator of everything.
We're endowed by the creator, that God.
Anyway, so Dr. Ronnie Jackson, um, I think two things happened last night, and I actually gave props to the to fake Jake, who I can't really stand in real life, and and Dana Bash, who actually in person was a nice was nice to me, but I, you know, she takes she's she took she's taken shots at me, and I'm not gonna take crap from anybody in the media, uh, and I just call it out for what it is.
We played tapes and tapes of them being, you know, nothing but pure liberal Trump hating talk show hosts.
And I fully expected that that would have a very high probability of being on display.
I said, I hope I'm wrong.
I said that many times.
And it turns out that all of the tape that it you know, we got started playing, you know, weeks ago after they announced the debate and announced fake Jake was going to be the moderator.
Uh it exposed them for being something that they're not.
It exposed the fact that they're not journalists, that exposed the fact that they are liberal Trump hating talk show hosts.
Now that put a lot of pressure on them because they knew that everybody was hip to the fact that they had a pro-Biden anti-Trump point of view.
And kind of in a way, I'm sure that some of that pressure forced them to be more fair than I think they otherwise would have been, and nobody pointed out how leftists and how pro uh Biden they've been and how anti-Trump that they've been.
I also think the fact that we highlighted Joe Biden when he gave the State of the Union, and he was all jacked up and screaming the entire time and yelling and being very angry, like he was very angry today when he gave his speech in North Carolina, and this guy Trump, he's no good, he's no good at all.
It's a bunch of malarkey.
Anyway, we saw that again today.
And the fact that we expected a jacked up Joe.
Uh, put a lot of pressure on them.
They knew that jacked up Joe would create a big problem for them because it's such a dramatic difference from everyday cognitively impaired Joe.
Anyway, it's something that Dr. Ronnie Jackson has pointed out.
He's he himself, I've I've taken heat for from year for years.
I don't really give a flying Adam Shift, but you know, that's my job.
And Dr. Ronnie Jackson is just speaking the obvious truth that we now know that the media's known all about the whole time, and the people around Joe have known the whole time.
You know, let me play a couple of clips from Joe last night, the when he sh short circuited in the middle of a thought.
We had two of those moments last night and then he confused statements about seniors getting drugs and kitchen and table issues and then he gave a confusing answer about a abortion and and then on his own goes and starts talking about immigration it was the oddest thing I think I've ever seen and then at the end of the night headed to a waffle house which I love scattered sm extra smothered please uh with two eggs over medium and if I'm really hungry or T bone steak.
Anyway, telling reporters he thinks he did really well with the debate.
Listen.
Make sure that all those things we need to do child care, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the uh with the COVID excuse me with um dealing with everything we have to do with uh look if we finally beat Medicare.
Thank you, President Biden.
For any drug all the drugs they can include beginning next year.
And the situation is making and we're gonna make that available to everybody.
All Americans.
So we're working to bring down the price of the kitchen table and that's what we're gonna get done.
The idea that states are able to do this is a little like saying we're gonna turn civil rights back to the states.
Each state have a different rule.
Look there's so many young women who have been including a young woman who just was murdered and he he went to the funeral the idea that she was murdered by a f by uh by an immigrant coming in to talk about that but here's the deal there's a lot of young women to be raped by their by their in-laws by their by their spouses brothers and sisters by or just it's it's just ridiculous and they can do nothing about it.
And they tried arrest him when they cross state lines.
Thank you.
I think we did well that you're they did job by your voice any concerns about your performance hard to debate a liar.
New York Times lied 26 times big lines.
I mean it's really unbelievable.
Now Congressman and medical doctor Ronnie Jackson had sent a letter demanding Biden take a drug test before and after the presidential debate.
Do you agree with me?
Welcome back, Congressman great to have you do you agree with me the fact that we had never seen jacked up Joe before the State of the Union or hyper caffeinated Joe, whatever you want to call him.
And the fact that we never saw Joe that way since until this afternoon.
I mean he really really went high octane today and started screaming again.
Maybe they actually did give him something today or maybe whatever they gave him last night the Red Bull kicked in a little late.
I'm not really sure.
But the bottom line is everybody has known he's cognitively impaired and the people like us that have been pointing it out for years have you know have been called pretty much every name in the book and you have these you know cognitive uh decline deniers out there that have been unwilling to admit the truth that they knew.
Yeah Sean I think everybody knew I think everybody around him has known for years now that they they they bear the responsibility for what's going on right now.
You know they need to also answer the questions because after last night watching him I'm asking myself the same question that everybody else that watched that last who's running this country right it uh it's obviously not this man and it hasn't been this man.
So I think that there's been a coordinated cover-up with Jill Biden, with the president's physician, Kevin O'Connor, with the people in the West Wing and his cabinet members and the people that are around him that have a responsibility to say something or do something in a situation like this.
And then with the far left and the liberal press, the mainstream media even, they've worked so hard to try to tell us to not believe what we see on a day-to-day basis and that this is not real, and that this man is an incredible...
you know intellectual uh just you know uh rock star when he's behind closed doors you know in in in the in the in the areas that we can't see and in they they they said this over and over and over again but last night he was on the biggest political stage in history probably or one of them and and he failed miserably and the entire world even people that don't follow politics closely like you and I do uh who for the first time have engaged on this saw the real Joe Biden.
And I know you're right.
I thought he was going to show up and jacked up Joe.
I figured for sure that they that's part of what they were working on out there at Camp David for seven days just trying to get the dose just right.
And maybe maybe they did experiment with that and they couldn't get it just right and they figured it was better to just let him go out and you know in in normal but he didn't I don't think he was on anything last night.
I mean he was a typical sleepy, confused slurred speech Joe that we're accustomed to.
But the whole world saw it last night, including unfortunately our adversaries.
It's a dangerous situation.
The people that have allowed this to happen need to be held accountable, right?
I mean there are people that have covered this up and there are people that are making decisions.
Who is deciding on aid to Israel on what's going on in in uh in Ukraine right now.
Uh all the other issues that we have around the world and you know the domestic stuff that all the money that we've spent it it's not Joe Biden.
Who's been making these decisions, right?
So I think that uh the administration has a lot to answer for.
I think Jill Biden in particular should be uh just unbelievably ashamed of what she's allowed to happen.
She had she more than anybody had responsibility.
She and his doctor quite honestly had a responsibility to step up to the plate and do something about this a long, long time ago.
Like you said, you and I have been blowing the alarms on this for years now.
And it's undeniable now and it's just amazing to watch uh you know uh the the the liberal press just uh completely turn on on the president right now.
And all they've talked about all day is how are we going to get rid of him?
Like he's not fit to serve.
Well we've been saying that for a long, long time.
All right, quick break we'll have more with Dr. Ronnie Jackson, Congressman Ronnie Jackson on the other side, then your call's coming up 800, 941 Sean as we continue on this busy news day on our Friday.
All right we continue now with Congressman and medical doctor Dr. Ronnie Jackson is with us.
By the way he's taking care of three US presidents.
The Joe Biden we saw last night is the Joe Biden we basically see every day.
Right?
And I've been playing tapes of it every day.
And they've known about it every day.
Everybody's known about it except they have just uh they've all been involved in this quiet little cover up that Joe's fine and Joe's cognitively strong and he gets more done in an hour than most Americans get done in a day and he has so much energy circle back, Jensage said I I can barely keep up with him.
Well, she must have zero stamina then because he's not exactly somebody that's high energy.
So, I mean, I think it's a very dangerous inflection point for the country that we could have so many people that know the truth, that were unwilling to speak the truth about what what is real condition is.
And, you know, and now at the last minute now they want to pull a fast one on the American people and try to replace him just because they hate Donald Trump so much because they don't like their polling numbers and they didn't like his debate performance.
And they're thinking, well, now we'll call them out on it.
I find the whole thing disgusting, especially in light of the 51 intel agents that lied to us about Hunter's laptop in 2020.
In light of Hillary Clinton's dirty disinformation, steel dossier used for four FISA warrants and no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute top secret classified information on a server.
On top of deleting, you know, subpoenaed servers and hard drives with bleach bid and destroying devices and not.
not getting in trouble for it.
And then the weaponization of our justice system I guess we know now why Merrickarland won't release the Robert Hurt tape because the Robert Hurt tape would be a disaster for Biden.
Yeah.
Well you know I don't even think they care anymore Sean I think here's the deal I think that they've used this man.
He's been a tool for them.
I think that the people you're describing that uh that you know that were uh lying to us all the time most of them work in the in the uh in a Biden administration they developed their or they they get their power, their authority, their influence from the fact that he's sitting in the Oval Office.
Once that goes away, all of their power influence and and whatnot goes away as well.
So they have they have worked hard to try to cover this up.
I think that the Biden or the Obama folks had been in the White House for a long time for at least the first uh two to three years of this administration.
They've been pushing their agenda items and using him as just a uh you know an empty vessel uh you know to to to make it happen.
But I think that they've now realized that they're close enough to the election that you know this man can't can't serve another four years and they don't want Kamala Harris.
And I think that they set this debate up on purpose.
The fact that this debate happened really early on.
And I I can't believe that Joe Biden and his team at Jill and the rest of them that you know that don't want him to to go away, actually took debate.
But I think that they set him up to get out there and do now the whole world is saying get rid of him, right?
And so I think that they're gonna try to yank him.
Oh, I think I think they thought they could pull up what pull off what they've done before.
Remember, he went in into his disappearing act before he gave his speech at the virtual DNC convention in twenty twenty, uh, or when he gave the State of the Union address all jacked up.
I think they felt like, well, you know, if we rush them long enough and we give them just the the right amount of Red Bull or whatever, uh, then uh he's gonna be fine because he survived those things.
The only difference between the State of the Union and last night, he didn't have a teleprompter and he didn't have notes in front of him.
He had to think on his feet, and I'm not sure why they didn't understand that's a great distinction.
And Sean, he didn't have whatever he was on.
I mean, they were they medicated him for the State of the Union, I can promise you that.
And uh so there that was one of the big differences too.
He wasn't medicated last night, he's medicated to State of the Union.
But uh, I mean, what a what a disaster.
I mean, what an absolute disaster.
And uh, I don't know.
I mean I I'm kind of torn, Sean.
I uh part of me uh, you know, d uh wants him to stay as the uh is is is uh Democrat candidate because President Trump is gonna wipe the floor with this guy.
I mean, the the the one thing this country needs more than anything is President Trump back as our president, and the easiest pathway to that is if Joe Biden is the candidate on the other side.
But part of me also says, Wow, can't what what's gonna happen between now and January 20?
Uh, this guy's got another six to seven months where he's gonna be our commander in chief and our head of stake, and he's completely incompetent.
Uh so I I don't know, I don't know what uh you know what the answer is on this, but he is a display.
Well, well, the answer is is that they've known this the whole time, and by the way, the world has known this the whole time.
You know how many times I've pointed out that President Chi and Vladimir Putin and the Mullers in Iran and Kim Jong-un, they've all known, which is why they have been on the march and and we have been so impotent because he doesn't know what to do.
You know, now we have to, you know, crawl to the finish line uh till January of next year.
But the idea that they're gonna now, you know, try and use this as the means of getting rid of him and pull a fast one on the American people is is disgusting.
Because it it Joe Biden last night was no b no different than Joe Biden every single solitary day of the week.
It's unbelievable.
But I appreciate the fact that you've been willing to go out there and take the slings and the arrows and the hits for telling the truth.
Uh Congressman and Dr. Ronnie Jackson, thank you, sir.
Thank you, Sean.
Appreciate it.

Toll-free, it's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, well, we've been having these competing rallies today.
President Trump now with uh Glenn Yunkin in the great state of Virginia and his first post-debate rally uh early.
We had a uh we had Jack Dub Joe back screaming and yelling and ranting and raving and you know, I'm not as young as I used to be.
But I still know one thing.
I told the truth.
I mean, I I could play these cuts all all day long.
I I think we have got to stay dialed in and very focused on some very deep and profound things that I've been laying out here this afternoon, and that is that everybody in the media has known about this.
They have known about it since before 2020.
Oh, these shoes be self-evident, oh, men and women are created by the thing.
You know the thing, the thing, the thing, God, the thing, the God, the creator of everything.
They've all known, they've all been in on it.
They've all covered for him.
Everybody in his life is covered for him.
The media has covered for him.
It is the biggest lie ever told.
And then when you when you juxtapose what has happened in 2016, and the and the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier, and of course, James Comey, uh, no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute.
You you have a pattern of a portion of government officials that are involving themselves in our elections.
It is it is beyond a banana republic.
And for no other reason, this has got to come to an end.
We are losing our country over it.
The 51 former Intel, you know, uh, and and even them some current contractors of of the intelligence community that knew nothing about Hunter's laptop.
All they knew is Wink and Tony Blinken was on a mission with Mike Burrell to put out it as all the fingerprints of Russian disinformation.
And lie to you because they knew, and polls have since proven that that would have tipped the election big time in Donald Trump's favor.
And and now here we are at at this late hour, and what do they want to do?
Well, well, maybe we ought to just change change out with 129 days left in the campaign.
Maybe we should just change out the candidate and pull that game on the American people.
I mean, and you want to talk about a threat to democracy?
It's really unbelievable.
You know what I'm gonna do, Linda.
I said this earlier in the program.
I think we're definitely gonna do it.
The final half hour today.
I am just going to play for you the lying mob media.
I'm gonna play as much as I can play in a half hour.
And their meltdowns, so shocked, they couldn't believe last night and and just a couple of weeks ago.
What were they called?
Cheap fake videos.
He is he's got the stamina, you know, he does more in a day than than the average.
He does more in an hour than most people do in a day.
A lie.
I I have a hard time keeping up with them, circle back, Gensaki said.
A lie.
Everybody in his orbit has been lying.
The only one or two people have uh in that have challenged him on all of these issues are Peter Deucey.
You know, it's unbelievable.
Yes, Linda, would you like to say something?
Yes, I I would actually.
I wanted to mention that Um my favorite cut of the night was when President Trump stood on the stage and tells uh fake Jake and Sleepy Dana, hey.
Um I really can't speak to that because I don't know what he just said, and quite frankly, I don't think he knows what he said either.
It was that to me was the best line of the whole night.
All right.
I'll tell you what, that's your favorite lines.
We're gonna play it, but first I have to remind people, and this really actually does go to the issue of brain clarity.
One of the things mixed martial arts has done for me is it keeps you dialed in and focused.
When I change my diet and and now at my healthy weight and and still building muscle and and taking my health more seriously, health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, and all of that.
Um I have more brain clarity.
It definitely helps you.
Drinking less helps you.
Uh I found something that I love that also helps on this very issue that gives you natural energy and and also brain clarity.
And it's our good friends at Strong Cell.
Strong Cell's an easy to use.
It's a lick liquid drink supplement I've been using.
It utilizes key ingredients, NADH and CoQ 10, as well as marine collagen, and it helps boost our body's cellular function.
Now, all of us have over 30 trillion cells in our body.

Let me just play one and then we'll play a lot more in the final half hour of the program today.
MSDNC's meltdown after the debate performance, that was a disaster.
But I think that first initial impression, Nicole, of President Biden walking out and his voice being very hard to hear.
It's hard to tell what he was saying because his voice was so weak.
Um and his halting delivery in his first couple of answers um is got to have put a shock um uh put a shock into the campaign, at least at the start before we started to get stronger.
I was on the phones for some of it after that became clear, and there is a conversation happening um inside Biden's circle and certainly a much more frank conversation happening inside the Democratic Coalition.
And I think there will be stories of a lot of concern about the performance tonight.
The people who were texting with me were um very concerned um about uh President Biden seeming extremely feeble, seeming extremely weak, and the people who were texting me were even more panicked.
They actually expected it to be better than it was, and now they're in a I I won't say a full-fledged panic, but it's getting there.
I don't think we should sugarcoat this.
This was not the debate performance that the Biden campaign team wanted or needed from this debate.
Well, I think consistent with your reaction, Rachel and others on the panel, it's kind of a DEF CON one moment.
Really pains me to say this.
They're three years apart.
They seemed about 30 years apart tonight, and I think that's gonna be the thing that uh voters really wrestle with coming out of this.
Well, we now know what the bad news was from last night.
Joe Biden had an awful night, a terrible night.
We saw last night why this race has been close and why I fear Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States unless things change.
Unless things change.
Unbelievable.
I know some of oh, so many of you want to react to this.
Uh let's get to our busy phones.
Uh Bobby is in Virginia.
Bobby, hi, how are you?
Where Donald Trump and uh uh your governor, Governor Glenn Youncan are right now.
What's going on, sir?
Hey, Sean, how are you?
Uh yeah, I did I did watch the debate last night, and uh you know I actually went to the Trump rally um when he came here about Anybody in the audience, if you haven't been to one, you need to go to at least one.
Um it's a it's a pretty cool experience, honestly.
Um, but you know, uh, in watching the debate last night, one of the things I told your call screener, um Biden definitely has a handicap, but it is not golf related.
That you know and and like you said, everybody knows it.
It's not a secret, and the the fact that they try to lie about it, I mean, even the world leaders that he's interacted with, they everybody knows it.
Everybody in his circle knows it, and and and it just is further proof that they lie.
They lie about everything.
The everything that the Democrat Party has put out regarding Trump since he came down to escalator.
It's all projection.
It's all lies.
But that that's that's just one part of one what I wanted to talk about.
You were talking about the 51 Intel officers, and you know, the that that you know, that whole laptop lie um that that changed the election in in 2020.
I want to talk about Paul Ryan, and I want to talk about the rhinos.
We we expect Democrats to do this crap, right?
We expect them to do it.
But what Paul Ryan did regarding the steel dossier, he had that dossier in 2016.
He knew it was fake, and he still sent Cash Patel and Devin Nunez on a fishing expedition, knowing that they weren't gonna get anything because it was fake.
And and and he the the Rhinos in this country, the Kinsingers, the Ryans, the Romneys, the Michael Steele.
What a what a disappointment that man has been.
We we have got to address this in our party, Sean.
It has got to be fished out, and those people need to be sent packing wherever they reside.
Everybody that knew, and everybody did know, and everybody that lied, they they need to be held accountable.
Just like they knew about Hillary's dirty Russian disinformation dossier, just like we have the double standard, no reasonable prosecutor or prosecute, uh, just like Hillary can delete the peanut emails and and bleach bit uh hard drives and and bleachbit servers and nothing happens.
And and Robert Herc could say, well, he's a nice old man that's very forgetful, and no jury would convict him, but we're gonna raid Mar-a-Lago.
I am tired of all of it.
If we're going to save our country, I don't want to hear from from all of these people that are nothing but pathetic pathological liars.
It's an institutional system of lie and lie after lie after lie and such a deceit.
It is a disaster for our country.
They did it in 1651 former Intel people did it in 2020, and they've been trying up until the point where they just couldn't lie anymore, a hundred and thirty days out of an election.
And now then now they want to go forward with something like, oh, we're just gonna put in this guy and not Vedaman.
Just vote for him because he's not Trump.
It is disgusting.
And if we want to save our great republic, our constitutional republic, it's an all-hands on deck moment.
Last night is not the end.
Last night is a wake-up call.
Sirens are blaring.
These people are dangerous.
They have no problem instituteing a weaponized department of justice, and no problem with Mar-a-Lago being valued at 18 million, no problem with a misdemeanor legal NDA being upcharged to 34 felonies and a judge that literally just just decimated the Constitution, the Sixth Amendment, and and other amendments.
They have no problem uh, you know, where a debate can be set up and Donald Trump that that he has no say in the moderators, no say in the format, no say on what network it's on.
If it's unfair to Trump, it's perfectly acceptable.
This has to stop.
All of this has to stop.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Rich Florida next on the Sean Hannity Show.
How are you?
Welcome to the program.
Hey, pretty good, sir.
How are you doing?
Um, I just like to say first, thank you for being the voice of the normal people, the people that love the U.S. And you're our voice.
Um, I come from a long family of combat vets.
Um, myself, my father, my grandfather.
I have a son that's a paramedic.
I have a sister that works in a hospital.
I have a brother in law that was a combat vet and is actually a law enforcement officer now.
And for us to sit there and watch our country completely be destroyed in front of us.
We feel helpless.
Feel like we can't do anything.
So you are our voice.
Um, I I appreciate your kind words.
But I'm going to tell you something.
This is an all hands on deck moment.
This this country, we we can't continue to you know, chip away at the foundational aspect and fundamental truths that have made this country great.
And I appreciate your kind words about me, but it's all of us together.
It really is.
It's not just me.
It's every one of us, every patriotic American now needs to understand what's at stake here.
And the media mob that lies and all, you know, all that they put this man through, enough is enough.
Let him get back in office.
Let's turn the country around, let quote retribution be success for everybody.
Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, conservative.
You know what?
That would unite the country, wouldn't it?
I 100% agree with that.
Um, it doesn't matter if you're red or blue, we're still all Americans.
I don't care if you're black, white, purple, blue, we're still all Americans.
And we need to love this country, and we shouldn't be ashamed to love our country.
We shouldn't be ashamed to live here.
I've been around the world.
I've been to a lot of hostile areas.
My father worked in Saudi Arabia, uh, Iraq as defense contractor after he retired.
So we've been to a lot of places that are not nice to Americans.
And for people to destroy this country that are in charge is a slap to our face.
It's a slap to a lot of Americans, even people that didn't serve in the military that but still love this country.
It's a slap to our face.
And after watching the debate last night, it scares me, petrifies me to wonder who is in charge.
And I'm sure it's Obama's third term.
But who is in charge running this show?
Because all he is is just a figure hit.
They showed nobody nobody knows.
Nobody knows the answer.
I have my my thoughts on it, but I think some of those people that have been in charge, they want more power, and I think they're also the ones pushing behind the scenes to get Biden out and stop Trump.
That's what they want to do.
Anyway, my friend, God bless you.
Appreciate the call.
