Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hold on where will have coming to your city, get
time seeing you a conside will all be desire high
than a jail. And if you want a little banging,

(00:20):
he ain't come along, you know. The Wall Street Journal
reported this morning that forty four percent of economists expect
a recession in the next year. Is that what you
expect as well? I don't think a recession is at
all inefftable, and I realized more than ever that as
president I need your help. I have been reminded again

(00:43):
that all the legislation in the world can't fix what's
wrong with America. Freedom is back in style. Welcome to
the Revolution, Where I'm coming to your city, going to

(01:04):
new show more behind the scenes information on breaking news,
and more bold inspired solutions for America. This is a
special edition of The Sean Hannity Show America Trapped Behind

(01:25):
Enemy Lines, Day number three eleven and three hundred and
twenty four days since your President, Yes, Joey said, and swore,
and promised and gave an oath not to abandon Americans
behind enemy lines in the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan, he did,
along with Green card holders, thousands of them, and our

(01:46):
Afghan allies. He specifically said he'd protect them and abandoned them.
And they're dying and missing in action, meaning they've never
seen or heard from again. I wonder what happened. I
wonder what the Taliban did. Women aren't going to work,
girls are not going to school. The old Taliban is
the new Taliban. But they've turned the page. Anyway, gladuate

(02:07):
with US eight hundred and nine four one sean. We
did get a Supreme Court decision today. There are really
five big cases that were watching out of the seventeen
cases that are left. We're watching a case out of
Kentucky where a high school football coach lost his job
after he insisted on reciting postgame prayers on the fifty

(02:30):
yard line despite his school district instructing him to stop.
Don't pray to God, God help you anyway. The coach
claimed that it violated his First Amendment rights to free speech,
free to exercise of religion. The school district claims the
prayer from a public school employee ran a foul of
the First Amendments establishment clause. And actually, up until I

(02:55):
think it was the early sixties, he had two decisions
within like a two or three year that came out,
and prior to that he used to have actual the
Lord's Prayer set in school and Bible reading in public schools.
By the way, if you go back to the nineteen fifties,
the top problems in school were chewing gum, talking in class,

(03:17):
running up and down the halls. Now it's drugs, suicide,
fent and all everywhere and everything in between. Anyway, so
we're watching that case very closely. The case we got
back today is Carson v. Makin, and it was a
six three decision, a big win. By the way, the
American Center for Law Injustice, that's Jay and Jordan Seculars

(03:39):
as a group, they also participated in the filing the
ACLJ and they'll join us at the top of the
next hour. Anyway, six three vote, and in that particular case,
it's a big win for school choice. I'll explain that
at the top of the hour. The other four cases
we're watching as Biden versus ten, which really is the

(04:01):
remain in Mexico policy and the Trump administration's policy on
this which migrants seeking asylum had to stay in Mexico
as they awaited hearings. The crux of that case is
whether the federal government can use discretion in carrying out
the program, or if, as Texas and Missouri are arguing
in their lawsuit, the policies needed to comply with federal

(04:24):
law that says migrants cannot be released into the US
because the country lacks the resources to detain everyone. The
Solicitor General under Biden claiming during oral arguments that if
the policy was needed to comply with the law, then
every presidential administration according to them, I don't buy this argument,
and an unbroken line for the past quarter of century

(04:46):
has been an open violation. Well not the Trump administration.
They forget that part. We're watching a big Second Amendment
case in the state of New York. This is really
an interesting case where the New York State Rifle and
Pistols Asociation the Bruin maybe the biggest Second Amendment case
before the Supreme Court and has to be longer than

(05:07):
a decade, and the justices will decide whether New York's
process for obtaining a license to carry a concealed handgun
is overly restrictive. I can tell you from personal experience
it is. The current rules require applicants to show proper
cause for why they need to carry a fire arm.

(05:28):
The government can exercise discretion in determining whether someone has
satisfied that requirement. The result is that it's extremely difficult
to obtain a license. You know, my case, you need
at least a thousand death threats, which wasn't hard to produce, unfortunately.
But anyway, during oral arguments there, the Justice has appeared
to challenge the state's position. You know, Breck Havana was saying, well,

(05:51):
why isn't it good enough to say I live in
a violent area, I want to defend myself. Sam Alito,
in an exchange with the New York Solicitor General Barbara Underwood,
recognized that if an applicant stated that the leave work
late at night and have to walk on the subway
station through a high crime neighborhood to get home, that

(06:11):
person would be denied because they did not cite a
specific threat. How is that consistent with the core right
to self defense? Great question by Alito. You know, so
I think that that's going to be that's going to
be a game changer for New York. We've got an
EPA case where West Virginia issuing the Environmental Protection Agency,

(06:31):
and that issue there is whether the EPA has the
power to increase sweeping rules that would overhaul industry practices
and the country's electricity electricity grids to address climate change.
In the Obama administration in twenty fifteen, the Clean Power
Plan aimed to reduce carbon emissions at power plans. The

(06:53):
plan was blocked by the Supreme Court in twenty sixteen,
then repealed by the Trump administration and replaced by the
Extreme Affordable Clean Energy Rule. After the Biden administration came
into power, however, it became the subject of litigation that
led to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals vacating that
rule as well as the repeal of the Clean Power Plan.

(07:15):
The Supreme Court will now review that decision and of
course the much anticipated ruling, and that is Dobbs v.
Jackson Women's Health Organization. And this ruling is the one
that led to protests outside of the homes of several
Supreme Court justices as well as, thankfully, a failed assassination

(07:38):
plot against the Justice Kavanaugh sparked by the publication of
a draft opinion. We still have not gotten to the
bottom of who leaked that opinion. That draft opinion by
Sam Alito, if published as the Court's opinion will overturn
Roe v. Wade and send it back to the States.
And that case came about after Mississippi passed a law

(07:58):
banning abortion after fifteen weeks of pregnancy, going against the
standard set by Row that prohibited bands prior to fetal viability. Again,
this is from nineteen seventy three, understood at the time
to be about twenty three weeks, and during oral arguments,
many justices appeared interested in finding a way to uphold
the fifteen week band without completely doing a way with Rome.

(08:21):
More specifically, John Roberts spoke of possibly eliminating the viability
standard while still ensuring women have the opportunity to get
in amportionable. They're going to have an opportunity either way
because it will be sent back to the States. So
those are the main cases that we're waiting. Here's the
problem we have and what everybody needs to be on
the lookout for. There are people out there, and how

(08:43):
ironic I go back. We're now in the middle of
the January six hearings. The January sixth Committee has totally
completely one sided, corrupt, abusively biased. There is one opinion,
and one opinion only that these hearings are to be
used to bludgeon Donald Trump. And if it means not

(09:06):
examining the evidence, if it means forgoing, what should be
the real motivation of people on the committee to protect
the capital from ever having an incident like that happen again,
I can tell you the answer. You fortify a perimeter
around the capital, using, for examples, like they use at
the White House, cement roadblocks, so cars camp just bashed

(09:29):
through and around the perimeter. Secure locations for workers and
for congressmen and women and senators to get in and out,
and for the public, the general public. They genuinely want
to get to the capital, they have to go through
the proper process. Then I would erect a fence around
the entire capital, make it look nice, just like around

(09:49):
the White House, no different. And if you put these
things in place, you can prevent it from happening again.
But they didn't even want to examine the fact that
Donald Trump had authorized up to twenty thousand troops to
be used that day and once he, as required by law,
allows for that authorization, which he did, and we have

(10:10):
four witnesses to that fact, and a fifth person in
the room talked to Trump admits the people around him
have confirmed to me that they talked to Trump. I'm
talking about General Millity, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, that
in fact, they had discussions about security of the capital
for January six, knowing we came off of a summer
of rioting and have five hundred and seventy four riots,

(10:33):
and knowing that tensions were high in the country, so
they didn't even Once the President signs off and authorizes that,
then it is up to the jurisdiction. Then goes to
the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and to DC
Mayor Muriel Bowser. We now know that the chief of
police of the Capitol Police, once a new assessment came

(10:55):
down three days before January six that said the chance
of violence had increased dramatically, he requested at least six
upper times that the Guard troops be available and called up.
And yet this committee refuses to ask for the emails
or the text messages or the phone records of the

(11:18):
sergeant of arms in the House and the Senate of
Nancy Pelosi, Muriel Bowser and writing rejected the National Guard
troops that Trump authorized. Now have you going to make
the case that Trump wanted a riot on January sixth,
and incited the riot on January sixth when he said,
many of you will peacefully, patriotically march to the capital
so your voices will be heard. Well, how do you

(11:40):
negate the fact that he did his part and they
didn't do their part? How do you ever possibly analyze
this objectively to prevent it from happening again? Anyway? It's nuts.
Now we are we going to be prepared this time
because there's a group out there. Now there have been
today forty known instances our pro lifers being targeted with violence, vandalism, harassment.

(12:06):
In the weeks following this leak Supreme Court draft opinion,
a report by the Susan B. Anthony Pro Life America
Organization detailed forty nine separate incidents of violence, of vandalism,
and harassment committed by pro abortion activists since the May
second League. Forty seven of those incidences included the targeting

(12:26):
of pro life individuals, events, organizations, pregnancy centers, and churches.
And there have been numerous acts of violence, molotov cocktails, etc.
And we have Chuck Schumer, nobody seems to care about you, know,
you have released the Oralwyn Cavanaugh and Gorsuch. You will
pay the price. You won't know what hit you. Imagine

(12:47):
if I said that, what would happen to me? Well, anyway,
then we had, of course, thank god, we were able
to foil what was a planned assassination of Justice Brett
having Thankfully that never happened. There's a group calling itself
you know, demonstrations now continue outside the homes of the justices.

(13:10):
In the case of Amy Coney Barrett, they've given out
the actual school her children go to, the church that
she goes to, and when she goes to church. It's unbelievable.
We got a group calling itself James's Revenge. They're committing
to what sounds like what Democrats would call insurrection if
were aimed at another part of government. A friend apparently

(13:33):
sent a photo of a flyer that has popped up
around Washington in DC that says DC Call to Action,
Night of Rage, declaring the night the Supreme Court overturns
Roe v. Wade. Hit the streets. You said you'd riot. Wow,

(13:53):
it continues to our oppressors. If abortions aren't safe, you
are not either. Jane's Revenge. Okay, have we not had
enough incidences of violence to prepare for what could be pending. Now. Anyway,
we'll get into all these cases and the lack of
security and safety our Supreme Court justices sounds insurrectionist to me.

(14:17):
I don't know, is Joe Biden going to authorize troops
to be called up to be available in cities where
there might be protests being planned? That just really roll along.
You know, you've heard about the Colbert seven, and that

(14:39):
is the capital breach by staff of the late show
host Stephen Colbert, who's not funny. And the worst part
about a comedian is not that politics that when they're
not funny, he's not funny. That's why nobody watch as
a show sucks. None of these late night guys are funny.
There are great Gutfeld's funny. He's very funny. Anyway, in

(15:02):
a letter that because of this capital security breach, they
were booked and I guess arrested. Can you imagine if
we had a Hannity seven, Linda, of what the reaction
would be. I just sent my staff there to do interviews.
Total nonsense, Total nonsense. If I was caught on the
capital grounds trying to get in without a pass, it
would have been major news on everything for the Sean

(15:23):
Shuan Hannity Show. I got my coffee. I'm doing my wake.
I'm supposed to be here. I'm just doing my job.
I don't know why it was Jim Jordan Rodney Davis
request requested materials they say would help him understand how
the staffers could have access to the House office buildings
after hours. That's getting interesting. Uh, And Biden's approval now

(15:49):
has sunk to thirty two percent. That's how bad it is.
Joe Biden is now the least popular president in modern
pole history. Washington pre Beacon now reporting Biden has earned
the title. This goes all the way back to nineteen
forty eight, probably the first day Joe surfed in the Senate.

(16:13):
I guess i''ve been around a long time. But anyways,
if you look at five thirty eight or Real Clear Politics,
they have him in the thirties as an average, and
that includes outliers that are way higher than reality. So he's,
you know, thirty percentage points less than George W. Bush
and George H. W. Bush. He's less popular than Donald Trump,

(16:37):
Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon after their first five hundred and
seventeen days in office, and by the way, he's earned
every bad poll he has. I mean, it's so depressing.
I wish I had better news. Does not better news

(17:10):
driving liberals crazy three hours a day, every day. The
Sean Hannity Show is back on the air, right twenty
five now to the top of the hour, eight hundred
and nine four one, Sean, you want to join us?
I mean, Biden's support it's just dropping like a rock.
Thirty two now officially has the lowest approval rating in

(17:36):
modern polling history going back as far as nineteen forty eight,
which is good for if I mean, why would it
be better name something find? Please call and give me
something that this guy has done right, because all I
see is this guy is a cognitive weak frawl mess

(17:59):
and every decision is filtered through the prism of climate alarmism,
this cultism that they are a part of the Democratic Party.
We've now seen numbers demographically Hispanic Americans. Look at the
seat of Congresswoman Flores, one hundred and fifty year Democratic

(18:21):
safe seat. She wins by eight points in Texas, a
border town. You're gonna look at what's happening with African Americans.
Hispanic Americans, the youth vote, women voters, they're all leaving Joe.
We got new information today. Pew Research Center polling shows
Biden standing with Asian Americans dropping precipitously, he averages of

(18:45):
fifty three approval forty seven disapproval in twenty twenty two
data a net positive of seven points. He won by
forty four points with Asian Americans in twenty twenty according
to Pew Day. In other words, he's lost thirty seven
points when compared to eighteen months ago. This is a

(19:09):
free fall. Everybody sees what's happening. Everybody feels the pain,
you know, and you know this is what gets lost
on you know, another day of hearings. January sixth, another
day to bludgeon Trump isn't president right now. Donald Trump's
not there, Joe Biden is, and every American feels it

(19:30):
every single solitary day. Now, Republicans, if they get power back,
they're actually going to look at them how to secure
the capital. So January sixth can never happen again. They'll
look into why Nancy Pelosi, with her jurisdiction and the
authorization required by the president complete didn't call up the

(19:51):
Guard why Muriel Bowser didn't on January fifth, a specific
intel threat assessment handed over to Chuck Schumer's office. He
needs to be called. And also, you know there was
a column on foxnews dot com. I think it was
by Joe Conscha. But you know, in nineteen seventy nine,
July fifteenth, that's when Jimmy Carter gave his malaise speech,

(20:15):
blaming Americans, discouraged by soaring inflation and energy crisis, for
losing confidence in the country. No, they lost confidence in him.
I mean I remember at the time there was even
discussion in the country whether or not running the United
States of America might be too big a job for
any one person. I'm like, no, it's not. If you
have a real leader, it's not a problem. Biden days

(20:37):
ago giving his own malaise speech, you know, you know,
sitting down with ap you know, repeat that American people
are really down. Their need for mental health in America
that's a skyrocketing. But his people see have seen everything
upset well, all caused by him. You know, if I
hear one more administration official Joe himself saying it now, Also,

(21:02):
you know that we've done everything possible as it relates
to energy prices. No, you haven't. You need to go
back and adopt the policies that we're working when you
became president. Start there. That's not that hard. But again,
Joe Biden ran on the platform, I won't play it again.
I've played it enough that he was going to end it.

(21:25):
Eliminated fossil fuels. It pollutes the earth. But yet he's
begging Saudi Arabia, OPEC, Venezuela and Iran to import oil
from them. What difference does it make to Mother Earth
where the oil is coming from they keep you know,
Joe Biden literally said, we have a chance to make
a fundamental turn toward renewable energy. Let me play this

(21:46):
cut for you, because it's it's critical to understand there.
If I was president and gas prices went up one
hundred and forty percent and a year and a half,
I think I'd reverse course. Listen. We also, I'm working
with our teams put together. At the same time, my

(22:07):
dear mother said, especially how really allows me something will
happens to look hard enough for it. We have a
chance here to make a fundamental turn toward renewverleage electric vehicles.
I mean, it's not just that you live well across
the board and uh, and that's something we should be
My team is going to be sitting down with the
CEOs of making oil companies this week and starting an

(22:32):
explanation how they justify making thirty five billion dollars on
the first quarter and what about the years they lost
billions of dollars? Joe, we put that up. You know,
we've we've gave those numbers out last week. It's unbelievable
blaming the oil companies. You know, oil come Exxon Mobile
responded to his letter. He didn't pay attention to it,

(22:54):
but you when when you were strict drilling, Well, what
about the nine thousand leases? Just because it's approved least
doesn't mean there's any gas or oil there. They don't
know until they get in there. And then to take
off the table any more leasing on federal lance, to
take off the table, we could be getting nine hundred
thousand barrels of Canadian oil a day if we finished

(23:16):
the Keystone XL pipeline. Anwar a vast wilderness, It is
filled with vast resources of energy. Oil. You want gas,
go to Pennsylvania, go to Ohio, go to all these
other new York. Get New York to wake the hell up.
It's unbelievable, you know. So now they keep going, oh,
just buy an electric vehicle. Okay, where's that money gonna

(23:38):
come from? And by the way, what about the batteries?
What about all the materials that need petroleum as products
to build the electrical electric vehicles that they love so much.
I mean, it's it's Jennifer Granholm saying the exact same thing.
The war in Ukraine shows the transition to clean energy?

(23:59):
Is nationals a national security issue? No, it's not. When
you have the vast resources we as a country have,
is not that complicated. How much is the average cost
of an electric vehicle? You know, especially if you got
to finance it at today's interest rates? How much more
is it going to cost? Grief by an electric vehicle average?

(24:24):
The average car on the road is twelve and a
half years old, the highest it's ever been in a
long time. House Democrats are teaming up with Biden to
cut our defense spending. China has now for the last
decade been building up their military. If I had to
venture a guest, I don't have access to intelligence, but

(24:45):
I have access to sources all over Washington, and according
to those sources that are involved heavily in defense issues,
we have fallen behind in terms of technology, MILLI terry might,
military preparedness. And meanwhile, they just I've read today the
teaching CRT at West Point. I'm like, what's the point?

(25:09):
We got to teach every cadet to fight and to
be able to fight in a new world that we
live in with modern weaponry and technology. As they fire
their hypersonic missiles anyway, House Arm Services Committee New Defense
Authorization Bill cuts forty four billion dollars proposed in the

(25:30):
Senate bill for National Defense. Great, I can't wait now.
Bad news on the economy even more. Laurence Summers, former
Obama Treasury secretary. He's basically been telling them the whole time,
you guys are wrong. It's not transitory inflation of recession
is coming. Now. He actually said this, And I told

(25:51):
you and I have been telling you that one of
the one of the great downsides of what they are
doing to stop inflation is they're going to drive the
economy to a screeching halt. What do I mean by that? Okay,
you raise interest rates, let's walk through the slowly. So

(26:12):
everybody can understand this blow. You raise interest rates like
they've been doing the FED. All right, what is the
consequences of that? Oh, people with low interest rates that
maybe we're thinking of buying a bigger home won't buy
a bigger home because they don't want to lose their
low interest rate, their thirty year fixed rate mortgage, which
they're not going to be able to transfer to their

(26:33):
new home. Now they'll pay six and a half, moving
towards seven moving towards eight percent? Okay, So what happens
to new home construction that'll come to a screeching halt?
What happens to sales of existing homes that'll come to
a screeching halt? What will happen to home values? They
will begin to plummet, and people's biggest investment will continue

(26:54):
to go down on top of their four or one
case tanking. I haven't looked at the doubt today. It's
too depressing to look at every day. Then, what happens
when new home construction stops and remodeling stops and building stops.
When what happens when people pay six thousand dollars more
for the same items they bought the previous year? Well,

(27:16):
that means they have left disposable income. Well, what has
that resulted? Higher unemployment? Laurence Summers is actually saying unemployment's
gonna have to hit ten percent if you want to
win the inflation battle. So you're robbing Peter to pay
Paul and they talk about a soft landing and a recession.
There is not going to be a soft landing here.

(27:39):
And the fact that every major bank and economist is
predicting the same thing. If we don't listen to it,
we're just being dumb. I mean, Yelling has no clue
what she's doing. The Fed chair of Powell has no
clue what he's doing. This idiot former mayor from South
Bend is clueless by an electric car. Well, you're gonna

(28:01):
have to pay higher gas prices until we get renewable
energy independence. What renewable energy independence? Can you explain to
me what the hell it is? Now? We're expecting Brown
ounce over the summer. In terms of raw numbers, Summers
is saying the unemployment will have to swell to sixteen

(28:22):
million from just under six million in May. That means,
get ready, ten million more. You're going to be out
of a job. By the way, if you've been wanting
to get into the job market. A little advice from
your friend Sean. Get in it now while you can anyway.
Biden spoke to Summers on Monday, Biden, echoing Janet yelling
maintaining a US procession can be avoided. Summers are saying

(28:45):
it's a pipe dream. He's just saying it in a
nice way. So now they are considering the gas tax holiday, which,
by the way, I'll take now. Obama said back in
two thousand and eight, it's a gimmick. He's right, it's
a gimmick. It's just like, you know, a month's worth
of a million barrels of oil a day from these
strategic petroleum oil reserves. That's a gimmick. It's a band aid.

(29:07):
Eighteen point four cents a gallon we pay to the
federal government and a gas tax for every gallon of
gasoline you buy. Okay, I'll still take it. I'm fine
with it. But understand this is an election year conversion.
Don't be bamboozled by Democrats thinking that they really care
about how much money you pay in taxes, because they

(29:28):
do not at all. Now, what else do we we got?
All Democrats want to talk about is the circus. You know,
even George Stefanopolo said, most Americans are not paying attention
to this these hearings. They're not. Even former Democratic Senator
Heidi high Camp, you know, conceds people don't see it

(29:48):
as anything new because they're not. You know, when that poll,
there's a poll that came out as interesting, sixty percent
of Americans think Donald Trump should be charged based on
the January six hearings with a crime. They don't say, well,
what crime? They don't. Nobody in Americas, except if you
listen to my show, has heard that that Donald Trump

(30:10):
authorized up to twenty thousand troops to be called up.
Nobody this committee is not going to delve into that
issue because that's not part of their predetermined outcome. But
so they're not going to hear the truth. Then you
get into the poll a little deeper, and here's the
interesting part. Only nine percent of people are following the hearings.
It's just just you know, it's it's you can't even

(30:31):
make this up. It's so dumb and so bad and
so corrupt and so dangerous. Anyway, so that's where we
are now. We have a nonprofit advocacy agency that supports
Senate Republicans blaming Democrats. Senate Senator Maggie Hassan of New
Hampshire soaring gas prices a new spot sponsor therese. This

(30:52):
is now all going to come down on the Democrats.
By the way, if you live in Ohio, I want
you to know something about your Ohio Democratic pal Tim
Ryan and his master plan. Where did I see this?
Was in the Washington Free Beacon. He basically says he's
going to lie and talk like a Republican even though

(31:14):
he's a Democrat. He will praise President Donald Trump on trade,
He'll sound the alarm about the southern border. He's trying
his hardest to avoid being lumped in with the rest
of the Democratic crowd. He proposed a House resolution that
would designate fentonal a weapon of mass destruction. Any Democrat
running this November is gonna have a tough time running

(31:37):
with Biden as president. So let's lie. What did Hillary
Clinton say? Yeah? Yeah, don't talk about those issues. We
usually keep those things private and hope that the courts
will do that, which we can't run on. We hope
that the courts will legislate from the bench, which is
why they want to pack the courts, is why they
want to end the filibuster, which is why they want

(31:58):
DC statehood, which is why you know, all these proposals
are out there. Unbelievable times. By the way, five major
cities set to break homicide records this year. Oh every
one of them is a democratic run city and has
been for decades. Unbelievable. A soccer I'm so surprised. Where
are the hearings on the five hundred and seventy four
riots in the summer of twenty twenty. Let's see dozens dead,

(32:20):
thousands of cops injured, millions of property damage. I know, Hannity,
you know, there you go again. We're going to get
into the safety of our Supreme Court justices and why
we're not why Merrick Garland and why Director Array of
the FBI are not doing anything about the safety of
these justices.
