Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
We're going to make official the greatest victory yet when I sign the one big, beautiful bill.
It will kill over 10 years, 100,000 people.
That is 2,000 days of death like we've seen in Texas this weekend.
This big, beautiful bill?
Well, if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then you, GOP, you'll have a very blurred vision.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the Revolution.
Sean Hennessey, the new Sean Hennity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.

That's 1-800-941-Sean.
So we'll be taking your calls throughout the program.
I was happy to be here yesterday.
We had a great show, lots of good topics.
More of the same today.
So let's get right down to it.
Is there any serious person out there who honestly believes that Joe Biden was mentally competent as president?
The evidence of his cognitive decline is legion.
I mean, how many times did we listen as Joe fumbled and stumbled and mumbled incoherently?
How often did we watch this faltering and enfeebled figure wandering around a stage lost and dazed and confused?
And yeah, sure, I'll give him this.
There were moments of periodic clarity.
There were times when Joe seemed almost sentient.
But look, most of those moments actually happened when he was reading a teleprompter, reciting the words in front of him that somebody else had written.
And it all looked so robotic, didn't it?
Did he even understand what he was saying?
Did he comprehend anything?
He read from cue cards in cabinet meetings that only rarely occurred.
I mean, the guy couldn't even talk extemporaneously to people he knew in his cabinet.
I mean, he couldn't remember famous names and faces at fundraisers.
Even at those fundraisers, it was all scripted with a teleprompter.
I mean, these are people that most everybody would recognize, stars.
Sometimes there were markings on the floor with arrows telling Joe where to stand or where to exit.
Remember Barack Obama having to finally grab Joe's arm to escort him off a stage?
The guy had no clue who he was or where he was.
He had that bewildered look on his face.
Biden was exhibiting all of the typical signs of senility or dementia.
To borrow a Latin term, he was not compus mentis.
And as his mental faculties dwindled, his ability to think and communicate completely vanished.
And of course, the charade all came crashing down during the presidential debate.
Americans all tuned in, and what they saw was both shocking and frightening.
I mean, here was the leader of the free world.
He couldn't put a subject with a predicate.
He was mixed up and garbled and rambling.
He stammered and babbled these fractured sentences that were utterly unintelligible.
Here's a reminder from that debate.
They raised $500 million, billion dollars, I should say, in a 10-year period.
We'd be able to wipe out his debt.
We'd be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do, child care, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with.
Look, if we finally beat Medicare.
All right.
Look, there were dozens of those moments in that terrible debate.
I mean, it just went on and on and on, and it was painful.
And that was the seminal moment that night when Americans awakened from their deep slumber and their sudden awareness marked the end of the Biden family's dream of another four years in the White House.
Their influence peddling schemes would come screeching to a halt.
Jill Biden would lose her Diane status, his first lady and chief puppet master, and they all were shattered.
They didn't care about Americans.
The Bidens only cared about themselves to keep it going, the gravy train.
And those around Joe had propped him up like a mannequin.
You know, occasionally they would trot him out for proof of life, but it was all a sham.
It was like weekended Bernie's.
He had that same goofy smile on his face as if he were alive.
And, okay, he wasn't technically brain dead, but he was mentally diminished.
And anybody paying attention knew it.
And any capable doctor should have seen it and known it.
Which is why there is now so much focus on Biden's White House physician, Kevin O'Connor.
On Wednesday, he appeared under subpoena to testify before Congress.
O'Connor was asked simple questions.
Were you ever told to lie about the president's health?
Did you ever believe he was unfit to execute his duty?
Here it is.
There will be one staff counsel for side asking the questions during each round.
To the extent members have questions for the witness, they will be propounded during their side's respective rounds.
Do you understand?
The advice of CASEL, I must respectfully decline to answer based on the physician-patient privilege and reliance on my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
I am not a lawyer, and I must follow my lawyer's advice in this matter.
So, gentlemen, we intend to assert both privileges with regard to any questions that would be asked at this deposition.
And Dr. O'Connor will not answer any questions.
And on and on it went.
Questions asked, answers were taken the fifth.
Doctor-patient privilege, so on and so forth.
I mean, they conflated, by the way, those two things, Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and the doctor-patient privilege, even though those are two completely different things.
And those questions, by the way, they did not require a medical disclosure protected by the privilege.
But even if they did, for the sake of argument, The privilege is not inviolate.
There are exceptions under the law, notably the crime fraud exception.
And in this case, you cannot hide behind the privilege where Congress is investigating potential crimes, such as using an autopen to fraudulently execute documents in Joe Biden's name.
We're talking about executive orders, legislation, pardons, commutations.
Moreover, the HIPAA law specifically allows a doctor to disclose patient information under these circumstances when compelled, pursuant to a subpoena.
So the question is: what will Congress do?
Well, I'll answer it.
They should grant Dr. O'Connor immunity.
Why?
Because it wipes out legal jeopardy and therefore nullifies the Fifth Amendment.
The doctor could then be forced to tell the truth about Biden's condition and the cabal of top White House staffers who secretly operated a de facto presidency for the better part of four years, making crucial decisions without a shred of constitutional authority.
So beyond the congressional probe, the Department of Justice has launched its own investigation.
If documents were signed without Biden's knowledge, or if he never consented, or if he was incapable of consent, then by operation of law, those documents are null and void.
They are invalid.
And whoever signed them or authorized them to be signed could be criminally charged with forgery and fraud under statutory laws.
All you have to do is ask the Supreme Court.
They declared long ago, unanimously, and I'm quoting here: there is no question that fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts and documents.
Did rogue actors commandeer the device, the auto pen, from a clueless Joe Biden to advance their own political and personal agendas?
Americans deserve honest answers.
But look, getting them from Joe Biden's handlers, that's not going to be easy.
So much of Biden's presidency was secretive.
People in the White House say they rarely even saw him.
Only his inner circle had access.
Is that because they knew the president was slipping further and further into mental decay?
It's pretty clear, at least to me, that a coterie of unelected aides connived to hide Joe Biden's declining state.
They were the ones making vital decisions behind the scenes.
They reportedly called themselves, wait for it, the Pullet Burl.
Now, that, of course, is a nod to the ruling committee of the Communist Party in the former Soviet Union and the symmetry there.
That's not coincidental.
It is very revealing.
They maneuvered, they manipulated in this culture of dishonesty.
With Biden mentally incapable of fully performing the demanding duties of his high office, they took it upon themselves to arrogate, to usurp his authority.
And it was a shameful abuse of power that contravenes our constitutional framework.
And here's this.
Think of all the Democrats and their media handmaidens who were witting accessories to the scheme.
Here they are.
Take a listen to this.
Start your tape right now because I'm about to tell you the truth.
And F you, if you can't handle the truth.
This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.
President Biden has a photographic memory.
He is sharp, intensely probing, and detail-oriented and focused.
Joe Biden doesn't have any concerns about his mental fitness, nor do I. I've spent an incredible amount of time with Joe Biden.
That's just a fade that the other side is pushing.
He's fine.
All this right-wing propaganda that his mental acuity has declined is wrong.
I think you all have called this the cheap fakes video, and that's exactly what they are.
They are cheap fakes video.
They are done in bad faith.
It's very clearly a cognitive decline.
That's what I'm referring to.
It makes me uncomfortable.
You are no absolutely.
It's so amazing.
It's so amazing to me that cognitive decline.
You're trying to tell me that what I was suggesting was that you were mocking his stutter.
Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter now.
That was Jake the fake tapper.
Before that, it was Corrine Jean-Pierre, the press secretary, utterly clueless.
I could say other things, but I won't.
Chuck E. Schumer, of course, the Democrat leader in the Senate.
Alejandro Mayorkis, Homeland Secretary.
Joe Scarborough, of course, MSNBC.
I mean, that guy, every time he opens his yap, he embarrasses himself.
But look, the point is this.
They all assured us that Joe Biden was incredibly sharp and intensely focused and the most involved president ever.
They were either lying deliberately or they didn't have enough contact with him to even know.
They were just making up grandstanding, which is, you know, what Scarborough does all the time.
And, you know, it's understandable here that they wouldn't have any access to him because, you know, when he wasn't napping somewhere in the White House, he was snoozing out on the beach for days at a time in Rehoboth.
I mean, the guy spent more than 40% of his presidency on vacation, and frankly, he was out to launch permanently the whole time.
It was one of the most elaborate, insidious cover-ups in presidential history, rivaling, I think, the cover-up of President Woodrow Wilson, who suffered such a debilitating stroke and became so incapacitated that his wife and a couple of aides literally ran the country in secret.
And hardly anybody knew.
We're going to be back in just a few moments.
We want to ask you for your phone calls, your comments, your questions.
Feel free to give us a ring here at 1-800-941-7326.
Again, that's 1-800-941-Sean.
I'm Greg Jarrett, filling in for Sean Hannity on the Hannity Show.
Welcome back to the Sean Hennity Show.
I'm Greg Jarrett.
Nearly five years ago in my August 2020 podcast, I warned that if Joe Biden was elected, he would be a marionette president controlled by unscrupulous White House puppeteers making critical decisions for the nation.
And look, I wasn't pressioned.
I was only paying attention to what was plainly visible.
And what is so confounding and alarming is how long the deceitful charade lasted.
So Congress and the DOJ need to now unravel the truth of what occurred.
And if they do not, it will happen again and again.
Coming up next, I'm going to be talking to my friend Jason Chaffetz, a former member of the House of Representatives.
He used to chair the very committee that is now investigating Joe Biden's mental state while he occupied the Oval Office and the runaway autopen.
And welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show.
I'm Greg Jarrett filling in for Sean.
He's taking a few days off.
He richly deserves it, artist working man in TV News.
And I'm happy to be here.
I was here yesterday, here again today, and we're going to be taking your phone calls.
I see a couple of names up on the board.
Thank you for joining us.
We'll get to you very, very shortly.
In the meantime, I do want to introduce our next guest, who is my friend and colleague, Jason Chaffetz.
He has a new book out, already a New York Times bestseller.
And it's called They're Coming for You: How Deep State Spies, NGOs, and Woke Corporations Plan to Push You Out of the Economy.
Jason, thank you so much for being with us.
Congratulations on another terrific book.
For people who don't know, who've never read Jason's books, and he has several of them out.
They're all bestsellers.
And the reason is because they're incredibly insightful and revealing.
You learn a lot about your rights and the government, often overstepping their privilege to work for you.
And I wanted Jason on today because he was chairman of the Oversight Committee during his time in Congress.
And just so you know, the Oversight Committee has primary responsibility for overseeing the operations of the federal government, particularly the executive branch and the agencies there.
They look out for fraud, waste, and abuse.
They ensure efficiency and effectiveness and accountability.
And quite often they look into potential crimes, which is what they are doing now by investigating what was happening in Joe Biden's White House.
He was president in name only, and others had commandeered his authority, his power, immense as it was, to make decisions for the nation.
And the runaway autopen that I was discussing at the top of the hour.
Jason, thanks so much for being with us.
Do you think your former committee, and I do want to talk to you about your book very shortly, but do you think your former committee will get to the bottom of the marionette president and the runaway autopen?
Well, it's the best shot we got.
And Greg, look, thank you.
So very kind introduction.
Thanks for having me on.
Look, the Oversight Committee, I think people are always frustrated that I was frustrated.
You know, they don't give the legislators handcuffs, but you can always get to the point where you have an administration that you hope grabs hold of it and actually prosecutes people.
Now, this is the best hope.
I think James Comer has done the best work.
Senator Schmidt over there in the Senate is also on the case and highly confident given his background.
But Chairman Comer is making the most progress, has a good list of witnesses he needs to bring forward.
And on the surface, this makes no sense.
One of my favorite stats of this, most remarkable stats, is that 75% of the use of the auto pen happened while Joe Biden was in the White House.
Now, why would you need an AutoPen when the Commander-in-Chief is right there?
Right.
Yeah, maybe he's upstairs, but what was happening?
How were they taking, as best I can tell, there are four auto pens.
They're programmed to replicate the signature.
There's a difference of what they call a wet signature, which is the actual pen in the hand of a president.
And then there's the auto pen, which auto pens are usually reserved for autographs, pictures, you know, daily stuff that maybe has to go out in mass, but not executive orders, pardons, commutations, those types of things.
And so, yes, I was fascinated by the interview of the doctor and him pleading the fifth to questions that had nothing to do with HIPAA or HIPAA laws.
And I think Comer is really going to get to the bottom of it.
I really do.
Well, I argued at the top of the hour that the Oversight Committee and Comer should grant Dr. O'Connor immunity because that wipes out legal jeopardy.
It nullifies the Fifth Amendment, so we can't stand on that.
And the HIPAA law says, you know, under these circumstances, you know, a doctor can, and I would argue must, tell the truth.
There's no doctor-patient privilege that survives these circumstances.
You think he'll grant O'Connor immunity and O'Connor will start telling the truth?
I think he's really thinking about doing that.
But again, the questions where the doctor would pled the fifth had nothing to do with Joe Biden's health.
They had to do with process questions and what was the directive in the White House, not a medical diagnosis, or what medication was the president taking.
I would argue that that should ultimately be public information anyway.
But in the meantime, yeah, I think whether you grant him immunity or not, he may still plead the fifth because he may have been given directions by somebody other than himself.
Did he just come up with this all by himself?
Color me skeptical on that one, Greg.
See, I think he's worried about a conspiracy charge against him, that he was sort of intimately or even tangentially involved in a conspiracy to hide Joe Biden's diminished mental capacity and colluding with others in the White House to commandeer authority of the president and sign all of these documents without Joe Biden's either knowledge or consent.
I think that's what he's worried about.
If I were his lawyer, that's what I'd tell him.
You better take the fifth here and force them to give you complete immunity in this case.
Yeah, Greg, like you're a much better attorney.
I'm not an attorney.
I know that sounds like I'm bragging, but yeah, like that makes total sense.
I also would be fascinated with some of these drugs.
Was the president under the influence?
Was he taking prescription drugs that have warnings that say do not operate a vehicle?
If you can't operate a vehicle, can you operate the national security apparatus?
Those types of things, I think, still yet to come.
And the other thing is since Biden left the White House, of course, the diagnosis was made public that he suffers from a very aggressive form of prostate cancer.
And, you know, the doctors that we've talked to on Fox News have said, you know, that sort of thing took years to develop.
And it invites the question, all right, did O'Connor either not do the proper testing, was he told not to do the proper testing, or did he know and conceal that condition, which is relevant anytime an American voter is casting a ballot, right?
And when the president is executing the duties of his office, yes.
Again, I think all of that needs to be revealed.
And that's why I think the doctor may be a bit hesitant.
Did they, you know, if they didn't detect it early, why not?
You have a doctor that is solely focused on you and your health.
Now, he obviously will help with the First Families, other executives there in the White House, but we pay, the taxpayers pay his salary.
And we pay that so that with the president and the vice president, the chain of the line of succession is intact.
And that's why I think they need to ultimately have all this revealed.
Will it come out eventually?
Yes.
He's no, you know, he's not going to be the president again, thank goodness.
And I just think it's a matter of time until they're able to pry this out of him and those records are revealed.
You know, the first witness that was actually called by the oversight committee was a top White House official by the name of Neera Tandon, who said she's the one who, for the most part, operated the Autopen.
But she said, I don't know who authorized it.
So she would put in a request to the inner circle and would get a response, use it, don't use it, whatever.
And the reason I bring that up is because the law says that a president cannot delegate the authority of when or where or how to use the autopen.
He can direct its usage specifically for a particular piece of legislation or executive order or pardon or so forth, but he can't say, oh, John Smith, you make all those decisions on when to sign things in my name.
Can't do that.
That renders it null and void.
So, I mean, I give her credit for testifying honestly, but it's shocking to me that she said, well, I don't know who authorized it, and I'm the one who activated it.
She was at the top of the list for the first interview because it is her job as staff secretary.
What a staff secretary does is they're the person in charge of the flow of documentation to and from a president, making sure it's in order, everything's in order when the president signs it.
In the case of Donald Trump, you know, you are signing documents multiple times a day.
And so Will Sharp, who I believe is the staff secretary right now, will be in front of the president multiple times during the day.
Yet Neera Tandon said, she could go four or six weeks and never see the president.
This is somebody who works in the West Wing of the White House.
And he was that absent.
But it does beg the question, if that memo, she would get a memo oftentimes, and that memo would direct her to put the auto pen in.
But if that memo, if Joe Biden initialed it or signed it, is anything different than what the executive order or the commutation or the pardon is, I would think that'd be null and void.
The comparison I would make is a Notary Public.
Right.
Could you transfer real estate?
Could you do a wire transfer at your credit union or your bank?
Could you do any of that by just saying, hey, I got a memo for my daddy over here?
That's not going to cut it.
And Notary Public could probably go to jail or be fined or be disbarred or whatever they do with Notary Publics if they did it the way Joe Biden was doing it.
Yeah, I want to ask you about your book.
Terrific book.
And it's entitled, Once Again, Already a Bestseller, Only Been Out for Nine Days.
They're Coming For You, How Deep State Spies, NGOs, and Woke Corporations Plan to Push You Out of the Economy.
Tell us a bit about what we're going to learn when we read that book.
And absolutely, everybody should try to read that book.
Well, it's summer.
And if you need a scary book to read, it's scarier than JAWS.
I can see that.
Because the government seems to know everything about you.
And we're supposed to be the private citizens, yet we know nothing about the public sector just to the government, right?
There's the irony in this whole thing.
But they're using our data.
They're buying it.
When I say they, the government is buying and selling this data.
There are data brokers that are using this to manipulate where you go and what you do.
And they're doing it everything from health care and affecting the vote to trying to debank you, push you out of the economy, give you a bad credit rating because you shop at Cabela's or maybe you bought a gun.
Maybe you bought a MAGA hat.
Those things are all in your record.
They're combining it with facial recognition.
They do it with automobiles.
One very quick example, Greg, they built a network.
It's called Vote-E-R, Vote-E-R, like emergency room.
And they built a network of 50,000 doctors that went into more than 700 hospitals, registering and getting people to vote.
Now, some of these people were in psychiatric hospitals, for goodness.
Literally.
And we have this very well documented.
And they were asking people, getting them to vote.
Well, from there, they know who the Democrats, who the Republicans are.
And then they use that to manipulate elections.
And they use federal taxpayer dollars to do other things like Executive Order 14019.
And I could go on and on.
But the amount of spying that is happening, it's not just, hey, we're going to trade a little convenience for, you know, a little privacy for some convenience so I know where the local coffee shop is.
They are doing this to manipulate you in a way that you are going to get debanked and pushed out of the economy.
The deep state is not going to put up with Trump conservative types of people.
They're just not going to do it.
They're going to come after you, and they are.
It's shocking and it's shameful.
And I'm glad you brought it to light.
The book is They're Coming for You by Jason Chaffetz.
Go out and get it today.
Jason, thanks so much for being with us.
We're going to take a quick break.
We're going to take a phone call or two on the other side.
We'll be right back with The Sean Hannity Show.
The stories that matter most to you.
Sean Hennity's on right now.
Back on the Sean Hennity show.
Let's go quickly to our phone line.
Steve joins us from Pennsylvania.
Hi, Steve.
Do you have a question or a comment?
Hey, Greg, can you hear me okay?
Yes, just fine.
All right.
Great American.
You are.
Thank you.
Filling in for Sean.
Hey, my question is, do you think it's very, very possible that the doctor kept President Biden heavily medicated?
That way he doesn't know what he was doing and the other folks were running the country.
What are your thoughts on that?
Well, he was 78 when he took office, Joe Biden, 82 years old now.
And I think that answers the question.
It would be an uncommon person that age who wouldn't be on medication.
And given what we know now about his cancer, yeah, I think he was on medication.
And the fact that they will not disclose the records speaks volumes.
I'm Greg Jarrett, filling in for Sean Hennity.
We'll be right back in a few minutes.
