Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stay right here for our final news round up and
information overload. All right, News round Up, Information overload, our
eight hundred and nine four one sean. If you want
to be a part of the program, here's President Trump
from last night's announcement. The country can't take four more
years of Biden. Boy, that's an understatement. Listen. I will
ensure that Joe Biden does not receive four more years
(00:23):
in twenty twenty. Can't. Our country could not take that.
And I say that not in laughter, I say that
in tears. Our country could not take four more years.
That it can only take so much. It's all very
fragile to start off with. It can only take so much,
(00:46):
only take so much. Yeah, I think we could only
take so much incoming damage. Anyway, Here to analyze and
talk about all the events in the last twenty four
hours and the last two years. Joe Concha, the Fox
News Media analyst, star at the Fox News Channel, author
of Come On Man. Also, Mark Simone hosted the Top
(01:08):
morning show on wo R in New York City, A
friend as well. Welcome both of you to the program.
So we've got two years under our belt of Biden,
Mark Simone, we got two years left of this disaster.
I don't think he knows what country is in. I
think we've proved that this week. We know he doesn't
(01:29):
know what leader he's talking to. So we have a
we have a president that's failing at a really high level.
Here's my question. You know, I don't think anybody can
predict with any level of certainty what this country is
gonna look like in two years. Do you think we
can predict? That's definitely not I you know, they keep
(01:51):
talking about Trump having baggage. You know, look at Biden
has more baggage in the Kardashians. I mean, I never
saw a guy with so many problems. And either way,
what baggage do the Kardashians have? Oh, they got I
don't follow the Kardashians. I'm not keeping up with them.
Go ahead, Oh they have one hundred suitcases any time
they go any place. But Biden is a disaster. He's
(02:14):
having his eightieth birthday. You know, any president's having a birthday.
There's a huge party celebration here. They don't even want
to mention. It's the biggest cover up ever. They have
that big G twenty summit. The main event is the
gallant dinner, and he's the honor read and he's too
frail and seeble to go to it. How tough is
it to go to sit in a chair at the dinner?
He didn't even handle that. So this is now a
(02:34):
year from now, two years and now, and they don't
have any bench. I don't know who they're going to
replace him with. There's nobody on that bench that has
a shot. Joe Consco, what's your analysis? Where are we now?
This is maybe the one election in my life that
I look at and I can't answer questions, I can't
explain some things away. And new Kingrich actually said it
pretty well, and he said, this is the first time
(02:56):
I got to rethink every single election I've ever known
my entire career. I mean, if he's saying that that,
I guess we're all in pretty good shape. Mark, He's done.
He's not alone, right, I mean, you looked at the
historical trends here, like Nuke did. I'm sure he lived
in fifty four seats in nineteen ninety four, Bill Clinton,
and the country, you can make an argument was in
(03:17):
better shape because how could it possibly be worse than
ours is in right now? In terms of inflation, in crime,
in the border, and education and foreign policy. So everything
lined up for Republicans in this election, far better for
them than even in nineteen ninety four, in Clinton lost
fifty four seats. In twenty ten, Barack Obama loses sixty
three seats. Again, you didn't have a wide open border
(03:38):
like we have now, you didn't have inflation at over
eight percent, you didn't have crime as rampant as it
is now, and so on and so forth, and the
guy still ost sixty three. So the logical thing here was, well,
given the conditions on the ground, can Republicans at least
pick up twenty thirty seats. That's considered a wave. I
don't blame anybody who came to that conclusion. But now
post election, when we're doing the all top se sean,
(04:00):
I think that we see that neither party is really
trusted to solve these problems. And that's why we have
a split decision in government where you have Republicans have
the House but only buy a little bit, and Democrats
have to senate but only by a very very little bit,
and then you have an unpopular president in the White House.
Nobody's winning right now, The question is who has the
(04:21):
winning message to bring voters from one side over to
the other and bring it home. We'll have to see.
I'm out of the predictions business that I know. Seven
hundred and thirty one days away from an election, I
ain't saying anything in terms of what I think is
going to happen, because you know, one thing we can say,
and I had a caller earlier on the program say this,
(04:43):
it doesn't matter who the Republicans put up, they're gonna be.
They're gonna be turned into Lucifer by the time they've done,
They're going to be, you know, just the embodiment of
pure evil. This is one thing I've never understood about
for example, and I mentioned this earlier as well, about
Liz Cheney. For example, Mark Simone, good what they Darth Vader?
You know, uh, he was a he was a war criminal,
(05:04):
he was a murderer. He was a crook with Halliburton.
And I would think that Liz Cheney might have some
level of understanding about the people that she ended up
partnering with. But apparently I was wrong. Now round to
Santa's all those same people two minutes ago they were
telling he's the right wing extremist, anti gay, no masks,
no vaccin. They hated him, now they love him. You know,
(05:25):
it was always wrong. I always used them as a
reverse parometer that big donors, whoever they want, is always
the loser. They're the ones that gave you Jeb and
Romney and McCain and the big Steve Schwartzman, the big
hedge fund donors. Now they're trying to get rid of Trump.
So these older by the way, so everybody understands, all
these billionaires that he's rattling off are all friends with
(05:45):
Mark Simone that friends are yours and then not offend
the mine anyway, more proof they're always wrong. They always
backed the wrong guy. So don't listen to them. You know.
That's the one thing that I, hey have faith in.
All right, I'm staying on my theory of accelerated migration.
I'll give you the first crack at it, Joe Constien,
(06:08):
and that is that, Okay, accelerated migration accelerated because people
are fed up with these shutdowns, fed up with their
kids being you know, homeschooled or on zoom school, and
they wanted their kids in person learning, and that they
didn't want their kids education to be set back at all.
They wanted lower taxes, better weather, more freedom. And you
(06:28):
see a migration out of California for the first time
in one hundred and seventy five years. They're losing population.
They've always gained population. You see Texas is taking in
massive amounts of people every single year. People are moving
to the Carolinas, They're moving to Tennessee, and on average
eight hundred and what fifty people are now making Florida
their home every day they're moving to the state of Florida.
(06:51):
It's remarkable, right because you're you're right about that. And
the thing is Mark bought before. Who is on the
Democratic bench that could come forward if Joe Biden doesn't run.
And you keep hearing the name Gavin Newsom, governor California,
over and over again, and then you say, okay, what's
his bumper? Stick? Are gonna look like I'll do to
America what I did to California. And if it comes
(07:13):
down to somehow one governor versus another, because governors run
their states like countries, and you have a DeSantis Newsome matchup.
So if the choice comes down to would I rather
live in Florida that has no income tax, and or
I could live in California, which has the highest income
tax in the country thirteen point three percent state income tax.
(07:33):
Or they have the highest poverty rate in the country,
a homeless problem that's completely out of control, and a
governor that's welcoming a legal immigrants into the country by
saying I'm gonna give you free healthcare. That's one choice.
Or you could go to Florida, where again you have
a governor that's pushing back against teachers unions. As far
as the parental rights bill that he passed that the
media tried to smears it don't say don't say gay bill,
(07:55):
and De Santa's basically rhetorically punched him back in the
face over that one. And now everybody that bill in
that state, and on and on in terms of the
way to Santas runs a state or New Simmoth. That's
the binary choice. Guests who wins that fight based on
the issues, And that's what would happen if you had
to Santas. Whin's the fight But but but but but
(08:15):
Mark Simona, if I'm right, and all these people that
are leaving New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania going to
the East coast of Florida or Central Florida, and everyone
in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana going to the west
coast of Florida or Central Florida. The ones fed up
with the lockdowns and high taxes and cold weather, and
their baby boomers now retiring, and they said, you know what,
(08:37):
I was going to leave later, but I'm leaving right now,
and they're leaving in droves. Doesn't it make those stags bluer?
Doesn't it make it more difficult for a Republican to
win the presidency? Absolutely, that's what happened in New York.
You know, I'm upset because I bought a lot of
stock at U Haul before the election. This is great
for people out By the way, Mark's not kidding. I
guarantee you he did. Did you? I bet you did?
(09:00):
In you well, I don't know. I don't know. By
the way, that sounds like a yes. What do you say?
Joe Kanja? Absolutely, Simone, he's got his hands and everything.
There is something going on here and that that's why
he's mister new York. You can't be mister New York
or because I'm good investments, all right? Without taking your time,
Mark if you if you run a U haul in Californians,
(09:22):
you take into Texas, you're gonna pay over three grand.
If you take it from Texas to California, take it back,
you're gonna pay about four hundred bucks. And you probably
can negotiate a lower price because you're doing you haul
a favor, because that's where they're making the money. In
the other direction. Well, I'm not kidding. You can actually
can't get a U haul right now in New York
(09:42):
City's like a waiting list of weeks. You can't get
a moving van right now. They're all tell with everybody
leaving the other you know, Florida one minute after the
balls closed, they had to here's the results done. California
they won't have the results still Christmas at least. I mean,
I don't know what's going on with that. It's and
you get to Santas not even an empty suit. This
is like a chalkout line. There's like nothing here. Yeah,
(10:04):
well it seems like it what you play, Mark Simone,
you're mister new York. You'd never leave New York, would you? Now?
It's still great? You love New York? It is it is, No,
I don't love New York. You're wrong. I hate New York.
There's more crime, there's more, it's it's filthy dirty. Um,
you know, I can't walk five feet without smelling weed.
(10:25):
You've got more people being thrown in front of trains,
you can't go below ground without putting your life in jeopardy.
Then you've got the knockout game is back and nobody
seems to care if they still have the idiotic Nobel laws.
Why would you want to stay there? Well, I'm not
nominating you for the Chamber of Commerce. That was more crack.
And then the taxes. Mark. You like money, Well, it
(10:50):
is expensive here, but you get what you pay for.
There's more going on, there's more restaurants, concerts, fun, everything's
going on here. And girls, by the way, I mean,
there are some to have nice conversations with. Well, Miami
is known to have quite a roster there too. True,
there you go Marks when Mark is an eligible bachelor,
(11:12):
So maybe that has something to do with it. I
don't know, and I don't even want to know. I'm
afraid to ask, I really am. Joe is even afraid
to ask, and Joe will ask any question. And all
the breaking news for the analysis to help you make
sense of it all. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
(11:36):
We continue with Joe Conscent and Mark Simone will get
to your calls at the bottom of the half hour
eight hundred and nine four one. Sean, if you want
to be a part of the program, Sean to push
back a little on your migration theory. Don't you think
Democrats are sick of being in those states too? I mean,
everybody feels crime and inflation. It can't just be a
Republican thing, right. Uh. You know, interestingly, the people are
that are leaving, they're tired of the shutdowns, They're tired
(11:59):
of high taxes, the tired of high crime, the tired
of woke education. These are very specific things that are
happening and at an accelerated pace in these blue states.
So I think they're escaping all of that. And that's
why you know Florida is going to be more red,
the Carolinas will be more red. That's why Texas is
more red. Governor Abbott won by double digits. Also, I
(12:22):
mean there's there's something to all of this. Now, How
did you got to tell me what republican and how
that Republican is gonna win Michigan. How are you gonna
win Wisconsin? How are you gonna win Pennsylvania. I mean,
it's it's it just is getting harder. And the math
was hard to begin with. And that's the thing, right,
you have to thread this perfect needle now because it
used to be Georgia and Arizona were given right, right,
(12:42):
those are red states. Okay, we have those, but we
have to win that blue wall like Trump did in
twenty sixteen, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan. And if you lose one
of those, basically it's over. So that's a very good question.
And that's that's the thing now, a Republicans, You've got
to be perfect or else you're not going to win
these elections. And that means putting up the perfect candidate.
The question is who's that going to be? Will be Trump,
(13:02):
a Santa somebody we're not even talking about. I mean,
all I know is in two thousand and six, your
front runners for the two thousand and eight nominations were
Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton. So was Jeb and it
was Hillary on the other side. There was to predicting
things two years out. It has been at fools errand
and we should stop immediately. I am I all right, Well, well,
(13:24):
an inside straight is what any whoever the candidate is,
it's inside straight or royal flush. Is that what it's
going to take? Mark Simone, Well, here's one thing. You've
got to get the rules back to normal. This early voting. Pennsylvania,
million votes came in before anybody saw Vettermans debate. New
York million votes came in before they saw any got
to get the rules back to what they were. If
(13:46):
you change the rules, you're going to change the out.
Tell me how that's going to happen in those states.
Tell me the way to make that happen. Well, that's
the problem. You got these Democratic governors and George Soros,
besides putting in those horrible das, put in a lot
of crazy secretaries of state who allowed this stuff to
go on. And I don't know how we're going to
fix that. It's got to be fixed, though. I think
I got to get embraced the rules. You got to
(14:07):
then just tell people to start voting early, because Democrats
are getting a five week head start, and then we're
confining the votes that just one day. Just all right,
those are the rules, and play by them. And try
to exploit them, just like Democrats had. I said the
same thing earlier, and I think some people get mad
when I say it. But if that's a system and
we're stuck with it, my system would be day of voting,
with exceptions for the military and the elderly and affirmed
(14:29):
and people that will be you know, genuinely away on
business or whatever. But you have partisan observers watching the
voting in every precinct, and they watch every precinct, count
the votes, paper ballots, photo ID, and you're off to
the races. Now, in New York, you don't need a
photo ID. I'm sure you voted, Mark Simone. Did they
(14:49):
ask for your ID? They didn't ask for mine. Well,
I don't mind the early voting for a few days,
but it's got to be in an official government place
with all the stuff you just said. No mail in ballots,
none of that stuff that got a stuff. I d
s everything. But again, New York's never gonna fix it.
These states are not given in. Democrats don't want any ID,
but the only one ID. When you go to the
(15:10):
Democratic National Convention or if you want to visit your
elected official in Washington, you need an ID. For that anyway.
Appreciate you both. Mark Simone, thank you, Joe Consca, thank you.
We'll hit the phones next d eight hundred and nine
four one, Shawn. Our number will continue all right, twenty
(15:34):
five now to the top of the hour, toll free.
It's eight hundred nine four one, sewn. You want to
be a part of the program, Let's get to our phones.
The Free State of Florida. Josh you're standing by Joshua
and Florida. Are you hey? How's it going, Sean? Thanks
for taking my call. Yes, sir, where are you? Are
you from Florida? Originally? Thanks sir, I'm from Alabama. I'm
(15:56):
in the military. Oh well, thank you for serving your country.
God bless you, and thanks for all you do for us.
My pleasure. What's on your mind today? I just wanted
to bring up I'm sick and tired of hearing about
how we've got this fifty fifty split in the Senate,
because it's not it's right now, it's forty nine, forty
(16:16):
eight and two. We got two independence over there that
are you know, they're pretending to be something or not
and I'm I don't know how we're the Republicans continue
to let these guys play these games and call, you know,
pretend to be independence but then play Democrat when it
suits their need. What are you talking about Bernie Sanders
(16:37):
being an independent. If they're caucusing with the Democrats, then
they're basically a Democrat. Well, what I don't understand is
how do you caucus with somebody that you're not a
part of them? You know, I look at somebody like
rand Paul Ryanda. Paul knows he's not going to get
anywhere in the Senate as a libertarian, so he joined
the Republican Party. Great, he's on the team, you know. So, yeah,
(17:00):
you put your hand Paul as a conservative slash libertarian,
no doubt about it. And you know, I agree with
a lot of what he says. He's in Paul's a
you know, him winning was a big win. We don't
talk about these other races we won that we knew
we would win. John Kennedy and Louisiana and Chuck grassleye
and Iowa and Marco Rubio down in Florida. I mean,
(17:21):
those are all important races too. Yeah, I agree with you.
I just you know, like like Bray and Paul though
back to him, you know, he knows he needs to
be a Republican to be successful, so he joined the
Republican Party, and you know he governs with libertarian principles.
That's great, But why do we keep letting these independents
get away with pretending that there's something they're not You know,
(17:43):
shouldn't they be forced to join the Democratic Party if
they're gonna caucus with the Democrats? Listen, I think everybody
gets their individual vote. You know, who did they want
to caucus with? That's up to them. You may not
know this about me, but I'm not registered as a Republican.
Did you know that? Oh you brought it up on
the show before. I'm a Conservative. When I voted in
(18:04):
New York on election day, you know, a week and
a day ago, I voted straight ticket Conservative Party. It
just happened that people that were Republicans and people on
the Conservative line, it was all the same people. That
happens a lot. New York allows a lot more parties,
and I want to keep the Conservative Party viable in
(18:27):
the state of New York. A guy by the name
of Mike Long who recently passed away. It was a
great guy and he fought really hard for many many
years to keep the conservative ticket around because he was
trying to get New York Republicans to be a little
more conservative, and he was successful in a lot of ways.
But anyway, I hope that I hope, I hope that
(18:48):
answers your question, my friend, appreciate it. Linda in Arizona.
What's up, Linda? How are you glad you call? I
am so excited to talk to you. Thanks for taking
my call, Thank you for checking in. I live in
the very inept ballot counting Maricopa County and this campaign
(19:08):
for quite some time, I worked on the day outside,
not inside the polls, and I'm telling you, I live
in a little town called Queen Creek, which is east
of Phoenix. But we had two polling places in one area.
We went through thousands of papers to give to the
folks standing in line, and we had lines all day long,
(19:28):
to the point of wrapping around both buildings. And did
you have tabulator problems in your location? Not in the beginning,
but in the end we did. And when they say
twenty to twenty five percent, it got up to war like.
We had people coming that had tried to vote at
(19:48):
other areas and gave up. But how long were people
waiting on election day to get inside? And at what
time during the day the the tabulators that tabulate. Linda
makes fun of me because I have no idea what
a tabulator is. But you know what it is now
you've you've grown, you've prospered, grown. Yeah, okay, this experience,
(20:11):
it is a tabulator, is something that tabulates, the machine
that tabulates. And I actually screenshot that in sentence to you,
so you knew I wasn't just send me the definition.
You did, all right? But so this went on, So
people would go vote in one precinct, then the tabulators
didn't work. Then they would go over to your precinct.
About what time during the day did your tabulators start
(20:34):
acting up? It was about mid afternoon. Okay. Now at
that point, how much long? How long would it take
somebody in line to have to wait to vote? And
did many people use what they called drawer three where
they would fill out their ballot and stick it in
another place with the promise that it would be counted
(20:55):
without being tabulated. Yes, the machine, the one Billy had
the problem, and so that way time was much longer.
It was over an hour, but they were long lines,
and they got longer and longer, and the people leave.
Did you see people say, forget this, I'm not waiting
two hours. I got to pick up my kids from
school or whatever. Um, no, I didn't see anybody, you know, leaving.
(21:19):
But yes they did use that you know, flot number three.
But our our local council member at the very end,
we had lines at seven o'clock and there again they
were coming out saying, you know, how much time before
the polls closed, But they didn't add if you were
in line, you still got to vote. We had to
(21:41):
go and tell them so at some point at seven,
once the poles closed, if you were in line, you
were able to vote. But then any new person that
wanted to vote was turned away. Yes, they went out
with a little sign that they put at the end
at seven o'clock and nobody else could get in line.
(22:01):
But we went well past eight o'clock in our area.
But yeah, they're just now and you know, interestingly, they're
just now getting to those number three box ballots. And
when miss Katie Hobbs made her you know, acceptance silly
little speech, there were still forty eight thousand ballots out
(22:26):
and we are to this day until five o'clock to day,
still curing ballots, and we have done over four thousands,
and the county is not making it easy to get
these ballots cured. Why not, it's really disgusting. Well, people
they know, people call, they tell them to go online,
(22:48):
take a picture of the driver's license, and do all
the stuff, and they do it, and then somebody doesn't
get knocked off our list. Somebody goes back and they said, well,
we already did it, so we check. It doesn't show about,
you know, being voted, so it's good. You know. Look,
anybody that was watching this unfold yet, with all due
(23:11):
respect to your state, I love people in Arizona, but
if you can't watch this and realize we've got a
major problem out there, then you're just not being fair.
You're not being objective. Every other state, well forty six
states got it done on time, properly, without integrity, questions
or confidence in the results of problems. Anyway, appreciate the call.
(23:34):
Thanks for participating in this, Linda. I'm sure you volunteered
hours and hours of your time and so many I
can tell you the poll workers where I will I go,
they're just the nicest people in the world, and they
do it for free, and they do it because they
love their country and they want to want to help.
Dan and Alabama. What's up, Dan? How are you, Sean?
(23:54):
I'm good, my friend. What's going on with you? Well?
I was listening to your discussion yesterday of the new
Congress and how you expected the House to conduct some
much needed investigations. It's some of the things that have
happened in the last two years, specifically and beyond that
for COVID and some other things. And what I wanted
to say is I just don't see much happening there.
(24:19):
I mean, we barely have control of the House. The
Senate will not support any investigations, and media certainly won't.
They'll just call it a witch hunt. And the Biden
Justice Department certainly isn't going to indict anybody. So you know,
I don't see the action that you expect, and I
don't know what good it would do if it happened.
(24:39):
So we should we should just we should just drop
the whole idea of the origins of the COVID nineteen virus.
And what I really wanted you to comment on is
what could the House do better to make this actually
effective as supposed to just a some sound of jury
that nobody will pay much attention to. Look, these investigations
(25:03):
usually take a lot of time. The power of subpoena
and the power of chairmanships are very meaningful. That's why
Republicans winning the House is a big deal. Then it's
the power of the purse that they'll be able to
use as well. And hopefully what they're doing is they're
setting the stage for a time when, you know, we'll
have all this information and then the country can see
(25:26):
the things that we've known about for a long time.
I doubt most people know that NIH money, that's Fauci's NIH,
you know, gave money to another group, Eco Alliance, that
gave money to the Wuhan Virology Lab. And everybody knew
damn well that that lab was involved in coronavirus research
and gain a function research, you know what. But we
(25:47):
were lied to about it, and in the end, our
tax dollars may have contributed to the creation of COVID nineteen.
We need to know the answer to that. You know.
As far as Hunter Biden's laptop, well we do know
that implicates his father many many times, and that Joe
Biden told one massive lie, repeatedly that he had no
knowledge or discussions with his son Hunter about his foreign
(26:10):
business dealings. We now have pictures of Joe Biden and
Hunter Biden with Hunter's foreign business associates. And now we've
been able to even take it a step further. We
have the quid pro quo in Ukraine. We have the
Kazakhstan money for the sports car. We have the three
and a half million dollars from the former First Lady
of Moscow, and then an additional hundred million dollars investment
(26:32):
in real estate ventures of Hunter and company. We have
the testimony of Tony Bobolynski that will hopefully be paid
attention to at some point. And then we've got this
whole one point five billion dollars deal with the Bank
of China and a five million dollar no interest for
givable loan that was given to the Bidens. Also. Now,
I will tell you this, if Republicans are able to
(26:55):
prove all of that, I think it'll have a profound
impact on the public and you know, hopefully, hopefully it'll
bear fruit in the end. But with that said, we
didn't get what we wanted out of you know, the
Durham investigation, for example. Anyway, I hope that answers your question.
It's a big deal, a little unfold Once you see
(27:15):
Nancy Pelosi have to handle over that gavel, it's going
to be a moment You're going to be pretty happy
about that. I can guarantee. All Right, we have time
for one more call. Doug in Los Angeles. Doug, how
are you? I'm very good, sir, Thank you for taking
my call. I just wanted to say I'm one of
those independent voters that the GOP needs to woo every election.
(27:36):
And if you decide to have a town hall asking
indies what they think of the mid terms, I'll buy
my own ticket to be there. But what I wanted
to ask you about today is the EIA. The Energy
Information Administration website clearly shows the withdrawals from the Strategic
Petroleum Reserve and the sales to China. And the last
(27:59):
eight months, we have taken one hundred and forty three
point three million barrels out of the Strategic Oil Reserve
and we have sold one hundred and forty two point
nine million barrels of oil to China. And it seems
like I didn't know it was that high. When we
reported it, it was a much lower number. But the
(28:20):
idea that was selling any oil to China when we're
in desperate need of it makes no sense at all whatsoever.
So I'll look up the information myself. I didn't know.
I've not seen a number that high. But if you
can direct us where we can find that information, I'll,
I promise you, I'll be all over it. I would
be glad to send it to your producers. And right
(28:41):
now for the you know, there's only data available through
August ninety nine point seven percent of the oil taken
out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been exported to China.
It's almost one hundred So if in fact, if that's true,
you know, my biration. My belief was, Joe is you know,
(29:02):
compromising national security by going into the strategic petroleum reserves.
But I always saw it as a means to an end,
and they you know, he depleted half of it. It's
the lowest level in fifty years. And I thought it
was to increase the world's supply in the lead up
to the election and artificially reduced prices so we could say,
see prices are going down because you know all these
(29:25):
Republicans that say gas prices are too high, They're wrong,
They're wrong. Everything was temporary. It's all good now, but
we'll look into us. All right. That's gonna wrap things
up for today. Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox
News Channel Loaded up tonight, Hope you'll join us. Jim
Jordan is going to check in with us. Kevin McCarthy.
We'll talk about the battleful leadership in the House of Representatives.
(29:48):
NATO on high alert after this missile strike in Poland,
although Joe Biden's out there saying, oh, it's unlikely the
missiles fired into Poland came from Russia. Where'd they come from, Joe,
where do you think they come from? Anyway? Oliver and
North will join us for that. Michael Waltz will join
us on that issue as well. There's an update more
(30:08):
confusion over this NBC Paul Pelosi story. We'll find out
what that's all about. Kelly and Conway, Joe Concha and
four Iowa students brutally murdered will get into this story.
How does this happen more often than not? It has
just said Pam Bandi and much munch more ninety Stern
Hannity Fox, hope you'll join us. We'll see it then.
(30:29):
Thank you for making this show possible.
Stay right here for our final news round up and
information overload. All right, News round Up, Information overload, our
eight hundred and nine four one sean. If you want
to be a part of the program, here's President Trump
from last night's announcement. The country can't take four more
years of Biden. Boy, that's an understatement. Listen. I will
ensure that Joe Biden does not receive four more years
(00:23):
in twenty twenty. Can't. Our country could not take that.
And I say that not in laughter, I say that
in tears. Our country could not take four more years.
That it can only take so much. It's all very
fragile to start off with. It can only take so much,
(00:46):
only take so much. Yeah, I think we could only
take so much incoming damage. Anyway, Here to analyze and
talk about all the events in the last twenty four
hours and the last two years. Joe Concha, the Fox
News Media analyst, star at the Fox News Channel, author
of Come On Man. Also, Mark Simone hosted the Top
(01:08):
morning show on wo R in New York City, A
friend as well. Welcome both of you to the program.
So we've got two years under our belt of Biden,
Mark Simone, we got two years left of this disaster.
I don't think he knows what country is in. I
think we've proved that this week. We know he doesn't
(01:29):
know what leader he's talking to. So we have a
we have a president that's failing at a really high level.
Here's my question. You know, I don't think anybody can
predict with any level of certainty what this country is
gonna look like in two years. Do you think we
can predict? That's definitely not I you know, they keep
(01:51):
talking about Trump having baggage. You know, look at Biden
has more baggage in the Kardashians. I mean, I never
saw a guy with so many problems. And either way,
what baggage do the Kardashians have? Oh, they got I
don't follow the Kardashians. I'm not keeping up with them.
Go ahead, Oh they have one hundred suitcases any time
they go any place. But Biden is a disaster. He's
(02:14):
having his eightieth birthday. You know, any president's having a birthday.
There's a huge party celebration here. They don't even want
to mention. It's the biggest cover up ever. They have
that big G twenty summit. The main event is the
gallant dinner, and he's the honor read and he's too
frail and seeble to go to it. How tough is
it to go to sit in a chair at the dinner?
He didn't even handle that. So this is now a
(02:34):
year from now, two years and now, and they don't
have any bench. I don't know who they're going to
replace him with. There's nobody on that bench that has
a shot. Joe Consco, what's your analysis? Where are we now?
This is maybe the one election in my life that
I look at and I can't answer questions, I can't
explain some things away. And new Kingrich actually said it
pretty well, and he said, this is the first time
(02:56):
I got to rethink every single election I've ever known
my entire career. I mean, if he's saying that that,
I guess we're all in pretty good shape. Mark, He's done.
He's not alone, right, I mean, you looked at the
historical trends here, like Nuke did. I'm sure he lived
in fifty four seats in nineteen ninety four, Bill Clinton,
and the country, you can make an argument was in
(03:17):
better shape because how could it possibly be worse than
ours is in right now? In terms of inflation, in crime,
in the border, and education and foreign policy. So everything
lined up for Republicans in this election, far better for
them than even in nineteen ninety four, in Clinton lost
fifty four seats. In twenty ten, Barack Obama loses sixty
three seats. Again, you didn't have a wide open border
(03:38):
like we have now, you didn't have inflation at over
eight percent, you didn't have crime as rampant as it
is now, and so on and so forth, and the
guy still ost sixty three. So the logical thing here was, well,
given the conditions on the ground, can Republicans at least
pick up twenty thirty seats. That's considered a wave. I
don't blame anybody who came to that conclusion. But now
post election, when we're doing the all top se sean,
(04:00):
I think that we see that neither party is really
trusted to solve these problems. And that's why we have
a split decision in government where you have Republicans have
the House but only buy a little bit, and Democrats
have to senate but only by a very very little bit,
and then you have an unpopular president in the White House.
Nobody's winning right now, The question is who has the
(04:21):
winning message to bring voters from one side over to
the other and bring it home. We'll have to see.
I'm out of the predictions business that I know. Seven
hundred and thirty one days away from an election, I
ain't saying anything in terms of what I think is
going to happen, because you know, one thing we can say,
and I had a caller earlier on the program say this,
(04:43):
it doesn't matter who the Republicans put up, they're gonna be.
They're gonna be turned into Lucifer by the time they've done,
They're going to be, you know, just the embodiment of
pure evil. This is one thing I've never understood about
for example, and I mentioned this earlier as well, about
Liz Cheney. For example, Mark Simone, good what they Darth Vader?
You know, uh, he was a he was a war criminal,
(05:04):
he was a murderer. He was a crook with Halliburton.
And I would think that Liz Cheney might have some
level of understanding about the people that she ended up
partnering with. But apparently I was wrong. Now round to
Santa's all those same people two minutes ago they were
telling he's the right wing extremist, anti gay, no masks,
no vaccin. They hated him, now they love him. You know,
(05:25):
it was always wrong. I always used them as a
reverse parometer that big donors, whoever they want, is always
the loser. They're the ones that gave you Jeb and
Romney and McCain and the big Steve Schwartzman, the big
hedge fund donors. Now they're trying to get rid of Trump.
So these older by the way, so everybody understands, all
these billionaires that he's rattling off are all friends with
(05:45):
Mark Simone that friends are yours and then not offend
the mine anyway, more proof they're always wrong. They always
backed the wrong guy. So don't listen to them. You know.
That's the one thing that I, hey have faith in.
All right, I'm staying on my theory of accelerated migration.
I'll give you the first crack at it, Joe Constien,
(06:08):
and that is that, Okay, accelerated migration accelerated because people
are fed up with these shutdowns, fed up with their
kids being you know, homeschooled or on zoom school, and
they wanted their kids in person learning, and that they
didn't want their kids education to be set back at all.
They wanted lower taxes, better weather, more freedom. And you
(06:28):
see a migration out of California for the first time
in one hundred and seventy five years. They're losing population.
They've always gained population. You see Texas is taking in
massive amounts of people every single year. People are moving
to the Carolinas, They're moving to Tennessee, and on average
eight hundred and what fifty people are now making Florida
their home every day they're moving to the state of Florida.
(06:51):
It's remarkable, right because you're you're right about that. And
the thing is Mark bought before. Who is on the
Democratic bench that could come forward if Joe Biden doesn't run.
And you keep hearing the name Gavin Newsom, governor California,
over and over again, and then you say, okay, what's
his bumper? Stick? Are gonna look like I'll do to
America what I did to California. And if it comes
(07:13):
down to somehow one governor versus another, because governors run
their states like countries, and you have a DeSantis Newsome matchup.
So if the choice comes down to would I rather
live in Florida that has no income tax, and or
I could live in California, which has the highest income
tax in the country thirteen point three percent state income tax.
(07:33):
Or they have the highest poverty rate in the country,
a homeless problem that's completely out of control, and a
governor that's welcoming a legal immigrants into the country by
saying I'm gonna give you free healthcare. That's one choice.
Or you could go to Florida, where again you have
a governor that's pushing back against teachers unions. As far
as the parental rights bill that he passed that the
media tried to smears it don't say don't say gay bill,
(07:55):
and De Santa's basically rhetorically punched him back in the
face over that one. And now everybody that bill in
that state, and on and on in terms of the
way to Santas runs a state or New Simmoth. That's
the binary choice. Guests who wins that fight based on
the issues, And that's what would happen if you had
to Santas. Whin's the fight But but but but but
(08:15):
Mark Simona, if I'm right, and all these people that
are leaving New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania going to
the East coast of Florida or Central Florida, and everyone
in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana going to the west
coast of Florida or Central Florida. The ones fed up
with the lockdowns and high taxes and cold weather, and
their baby boomers now retiring, and they said, you know what,
(08:37):
I was going to leave later, but I'm leaving right now,
and they're leaving in droves. Doesn't it make those stags bluer?
Doesn't it make it more difficult for a Republican to
win the presidency? Absolutely, that's what happened in New York.
You know, I'm upset because I bought a lot of
stock at U Haul before the election. This is great
for people out By the way, Mark's not kidding. I
guarantee you he did. Did you? I bet you did?
(09:00):
In you well, I don't know. I don't know. By
the way, that sounds like a yes. What do you say?
Joe Kanja? Absolutely, Simone, he's got his hands and everything.
There is something going on here and that that's why
he's mister new York. You can't be mister New York
or because I'm good investments, all right? Without taking your time,
Mark if you if you run a U haul in Californians,
(09:22):
you take into Texas, you're gonna pay over three grand.
If you take it from Texas to California, take it back,
you're gonna pay about four hundred bucks. And you probably
can negotiate a lower price because you're doing you haul
a favor, because that's where they're making the money. In
the other direction. Well, I'm not kidding. You can actually
can't get a U haul right now in New York
(09:42):
City's like a waiting list of weeks. You can't get
a moving van right now. They're all tell with everybody
leaving the other you know, Florida one minute after the
balls closed, they had to here's the results done. California
they won't have the results still Christmas at least. I mean,
I don't know what's going on with that. It's and
you get to Santas not even an empty suit. This
is like a chalkout line. There's like nothing here. Yeah,
(10:04):
well it seems like it what you play, Mark Simone,
you're mister new York. You'd never leave New York, would you? Now?
It's still great? You love New York? It is it is, No,
I don't love New York. You're wrong. I hate New York.
There's more crime, there's more, it's it's filthy dirty. Um,
you know, I can't walk five feet without smelling weed.
(10:25):
You've got more people being thrown in front of trains,
you can't go below ground without putting your life in jeopardy.
Then you've got the knockout game is back and nobody
seems to care if they still have the idiotic Nobel laws.
Why would you want to stay there? Well, I'm not
nominating you for the Chamber of Commerce. That was more crack.
And then the taxes. Mark. You like money, Well, it
(10:50):
is expensive here, but you get what you pay for.
There's more going on, there's more restaurants, concerts, fun, everything's
going on here. And girls, by the way, I mean,
there are some to have nice conversations with. Well, Miami
is known to have quite a roster there too. True,
there you go Marks when Mark is an eligible bachelor,
(11:12):
So maybe that has something to do with it. I
don't know, and I don't even want to know. I'm
afraid to ask, I really am. Joe is even afraid
to ask, and Joe will ask any question. And all
the breaking news for the analysis to help you make
sense of it all. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
(11:36):
We continue with Joe Conscent and Mark Simone will get
to your calls at the bottom of the half hour
eight hundred and nine four one. Sean, if you want
to be a part of the program, Sean to push
back a little on your migration theory. Don't you think
Democrats are sick of being in those states too? I mean,
everybody feels crime and inflation. It can't just be a
Republican thing, right. Uh. You know, interestingly, the people are
that are leaving, they're tired of the shutdowns, They're tired
(11:59):
of high taxes, the tired of high crime, the tired
of woke education. These are very specific things that are
happening and at an accelerated pace in these blue states.
So I think they're escaping all of that. And that's
why you know Florida is going to be more red,
the Carolinas will be more red. That's why Texas is
more red. Governor Abbott won by double digits. Also, I
(12:22):
mean there's there's something to all of this. Now, How
did you got to tell me what republican and how
that Republican is gonna win Michigan. How are you gonna
win Wisconsin? How are you gonna win Pennsylvania. I mean,
it's it's it just is getting harder. And the math
was hard to begin with. And that's the thing, right,
you have to thread this perfect needle now because it
used to be Georgia and Arizona were given right, right,
(12:42):
those are red states. Okay, we have those, but we
have to win that blue wall like Trump did in
twenty sixteen, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan. And if you lose one
of those, basically it's over. So that's a very good question.
And that's that's the thing now, a Republicans, You've got
to be perfect or else you're not going to win
these elections. And that means putting up the perfect candidate.
The question is who's that going to be? Will be Trump,
(13:02):
a Santa somebody we're not even talking about. I mean,
all I know is in two thousand and six, your
front runners for the two thousand and eight nominations were
Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton. So was Jeb and it
was Hillary on the other side. There was to predicting
things two years out. It has been at fools errand
and we should stop immediately. I am I all right, Well, well,
(13:24):
an inside straight is what any whoever the candidate is,
it's inside straight or royal flush. Is that what it's
going to take? Mark Simone, Well, here's one thing. You've
got to get the rules back to normal. This early voting. Pennsylvania,
million votes came in before anybody saw Vettermans debate. New
York million votes came in before they saw any got
to get the rules back to what they were. If
(13:46):
you change the rules, you're going to change the out.
Tell me how that's going to happen in those states.
Tell me the way to make that happen. Well, that's
the problem. You got these Democratic governors and George Soros,
besides putting in those horrible das, put in a lot
of crazy secretaries of state who allowed this stuff to
go on. And I don't know how we're going to
fix that. It's got to be fixed, though. I think
I got to get embraced the rules. You got to
(14:07):
then just tell people to start voting early, because Democrats
are getting a five week head start, and then we're
confining the votes that just one day. Just all right,
those are the rules, and play by them. And try
to exploit them, just like Democrats had. I said the
same thing earlier, and I think some people get mad
when I say it. But if that's a system and
we're stuck with it, my system would be day of voting,
with exceptions for the military and the elderly and affirmed
(14:29):
and people that will be you know, genuinely away on
business or whatever. But you have partisan observers watching the
voting in every precinct, and they watch every precinct, count
the votes, paper ballots, photo ID, and you're off to
the races. Now, in New York, you don't need a
photo ID. I'm sure you voted, Mark Simone. Did they
(14:49):
ask for your ID? They didn't ask for mine. Well,
I don't mind the early voting for a few days,
but it's got to be in an official government place
with all the stuff you just said. No mail in ballots,
none of that stuff that got a stuff. I d
s everything. But again, New York's never gonna fix it.
These states are not given in. Democrats don't want any ID,
but the only one ID. When you go to the
(15:10):
Democratic National Convention or if you want to visit your
elected official in Washington, you need an ID. For that anyway.
Appreciate you both. Mark Simone, thank you, Joe Consca, thank you.
We'll hit the phones next d eight hundred and nine
four one, Shawn. Our number will continue all right, twenty
(15:34):
five now to the top of the hour, toll free.
It's eight hundred nine four one, sewn. You want to
be a part of the program, Let's get to our phones.
The Free State of Florida. Josh you're standing by Joshua
and Florida. Are you hey? How's it going, Sean? Thanks
for taking my call. Yes, sir, where are you? Are
you from Florida? Originally? Thanks sir, I'm from Alabama. I'm
(15:56):
in the military. Oh well, thank you for serving your country.
God bless you, and thanks for all you do for us.
My pleasure. What's on your mind today? I just wanted
to bring up I'm sick and tired of hearing about
how we've got this fifty fifty split in the Senate,
because it's not it's right now, it's forty nine, forty
(16:16):
eight and two. We got two independence over there that
are you know, they're pretending to be something or not
and I'm I don't know how we're the Republicans continue
to let these guys play these games and call, you know,
pretend to be independence but then play Democrat when it
suits their need. What are you talking about Bernie Sanders
(16:37):
being an independent. If they're caucusing with the Democrats, then
they're basically a Democrat. Well, what I don't understand is
how do you caucus with somebody that you're not a
part of them? You know, I look at somebody like
rand Paul Ryanda. Paul knows he's not going to get
anywhere in the Senate as a libertarian, so he joined
the Republican Party. Great, he's on the team, you know. So, yeah,
(17:00):
you put your hand Paul as a conservative slash libertarian,
no doubt about it. And you know, I agree with
a lot of what he says. He's in Paul's a
you know, him winning was a big win. We don't
talk about these other races we won that we knew
we would win. John Kennedy and Louisiana and Chuck grassleye
and Iowa and Marco Rubio down in Florida. I mean,
(17:21):
those are all important races too. Yeah, I agree with you.
I just you know, like like Bray and Paul though
back to him, you know, he knows he needs to
be a Republican to be successful, so he joined the
Republican Party, and you know he governs with libertarian principles.
That's great, But why do we keep letting these independents
get away with pretending that there's something they're not You know,
(17:43):
shouldn't they be forced to join the Democratic Party if
they're gonna caucus with the Democrats? Listen, I think everybody
gets their individual vote. You know, who did they want
to caucus with? That's up to them. You may not
know this about me, but I'm not registered as a Republican.
Did you know that? Oh you brought it up on
the show before. I'm a Conservative. When I voted in
(18:04):
New York on election day, you know, a week and
a day ago, I voted straight ticket Conservative Party. It
just happened that people that were Republicans and people on
the Conservative line, it was all the same people. That
happens a lot. New York allows a lot more parties,
and I want to keep the Conservative Party viable in
(18:27):
the state of New York. A guy by the name
of Mike Long who recently passed away. It was a
great guy and he fought really hard for many many
years to keep the conservative ticket around because he was
trying to get New York Republicans to be a little
more conservative, and he was successful in a lot of ways.
But anyway, I hope that I hope, I hope that
(18:48):
answers your question, my friend, appreciate it. Linda in Arizona.
What's up, Linda? How are you glad you call? I
am so excited to talk to you. Thanks for taking
my call, Thank you for checking in. I live in
the very inept ballot counting Maricopa County and this campaign
(19:08):
for quite some time, I worked on the day outside,
not inside the polls, and I'm telling you, I live
in a little town called Queen Creek, which is east
of Phoenix. But we had two polling places in one area.
We went through thousands of papers to give to the
folks standing in line, and we had lines all day long,
(19:28):
to the point of wrapping around both buildings. And did
you have tabulator problems in your location? Not in the beginning,
but in the end we did. And when they say
twenty to twenty five percent, it got up to war like.
We had people coming that had tried to vote at
(19:48):
other areas and gave up. But how long were people
waiting on election day to get inside? And at what
time during the day the the tabulators that tabulate. Linda
makes fun of me because I have no idea what
a tabulator is. But you know what it is now
you've you've grown, you've prospered, grown. Yeah, okay, this experience,
(20:11):
it is a tabulator, is something that tabulates, the machine
that tabulates. And I actually screenshot that in sentence to you,
so you knew I wasn't just send me the definition.
You did, all right? But so this went on, So
people would go vote in one precinct, then the tabulators
didn't work. Then they would go over to your precinct.
About what time during the day did your tabulators start
(20:34):
acting up? It was about mid afternoon. Okay. Now at
that point, how much long? How long would it take
somebody in line to have to wait to vote? And
did many people use what they called drawer three where
they would fill out their ballot and stick it in
another place with the promise that it would be counted
(20:55):
without being tabulated. Yes, the machine, the one Billy had
the problem, and so that way time was much longer.
It was over an hour, but they were long lines,
and they got longer and longer, and the people leave.
Did you see people say, forget this, I'm not waiting
two hours. I got to pick up my kids from
school or whatever. Um, no, I didn't see anybody, you know, leaving.
(21:19):
But yes they did use that you know, flot number three.
But our our local council member at the very end,
we had lines at seven o'clock and there again they
were coming out saying, you know, how much time before
the polls closed, But they didn't add if you were
in line, you still got to vote. We had to
(21:41):
go and tell them so at some point at seven,
once the poles closed, if you were in line, you
were able to vote. But then any new person that
wanted to vote was turned away. Yes, they went out
with a little sign that they put at the end
at seven o'clock and nobody else could get in line.
(22:01):
But we went well past eight o'clock in our area.
But yeah, they're just now and you know, interestingly, they're
just now getting to those number three box ballots. And
when miss Katie Hobbs made her you know, acceptance silly
little speech, there were still forty eight thousand ballots out
(22:26):
and we are to this day until five o'clock to day,
still curing ballots, and we have done over four thousands,
and the county is not making it easy to get
these ballots cured. Why not, it's really disgusting. Well, people
they know, people call, they tell them to go online,
(22:48):
take a picture of the driver's license, and do all
the stuff, and they do it, and then somebody doesn't
get knocked off our list. Somebody goes back and they said, well,
we already did it, so we check. It doesn't show about,
you know, being voted, so it's good. You know. Look,
anybody that was watching this unfold yet, with all due
(23:11):
respect to your state, I love people in Arizona, but
if you can't watch this and realize we've got a
major problem out there, then you're just not being fair.
You're not being objective. Every other state, well forty six
states got it done on time, properly, without integrity, questions
or confidence in the results of problems. Anyway, appreciate the call.
(23:34):
Thanks for participating in this, Linda. I'm sure you volunteered
hours and hours of your time and so many I
can tell you the poll workers where I will I go,
they're just the nicest people in the world, and they
do it for free, and they do it because they
love their country and they want to want to help.
Dan and Alabama. What's up, Dan? How are you, Sean?
(23:54):
I'm good, my friend. What's going on with you? Well?
I was listening to your discussion yesterday of the new
Congress and how you expected the House to conduct some
much needed investigations. It's some of the things that have
happened in the last two years, specifically and beyond that
for COVID and some other things. And what I wanted
to say is I just don't see much happening there.
(24:19):
I mean, we barely have control of the House. The
Senate will not support any investigations, and media certainly won't.
They'll just call it a witch hunt. And the Biden
Justice Department certainly isn't going to indict anybody. So you know,
I don't see the action that you expect, and I
don't know what good it would do if it happened.
(24:39):
So we should we should just we should just drop
the whole idea of the origins of the COVID nineteen virus.
And what I really wanted you to comment on is
what could the House do better to make this actually
effective as supposed to just a some sound of jury
that nobody will pay much attention to. Look, these investigations
(25:03):
usually take a lot of time. The power of subpoena
and the power of chairmanships are very meaningful. That's why
Republicans winning the House is a big deal. Then it's
the power of the purse that they'll be able to
use as well. And hopefully what they're doing is they're
setting the stage for a time when, you know, we'll
have all this information and then the country can see
(25:26):
the things that we've known about for a long time.
I doubt most people know that NIH money, that's Fauci's NIH,
you know, gave money to another group, Eco Alliance, that
gave money to the Wuhan Virology Lab. And everybody knew
damn well that that lab was involved in coronavirus research
and gain a function research, you know what. But we
(25:47):
were lied to about it, and in the end, our
tax dollars may have contributed to the creation of COVID nineteen.
We need to know the answer to that. You know.
As far as Hunter Biden's laptop, well we do know
that implicates his father many many times, and that Joe
Biden told one massive lie, repeatedly that he had no
knowledge or discussions with his son Hunter about his foreign
(26:10):
business dealings. We now have pictures of Joe Biden and
Hunter Biden with Hunter's foreign business associates. And now we've
been able to even take it a step further. We
have the quid pro quo in Ukraine. We have the
Kazakhstan money for the sports car. We have the three
and a half million dollars from the former First Lady
of Moscow, and then an additional hundred million dollars investment
(26:32):
in real estate ventures of Hunter and company. We have
the testimony of Tony Bobolynski that will hopefully be paid
attention to at some point. And then we've got this
whole one point five billion dollars deal with the Bank
of China and a five million dollar no interest for
givable loan that was given to the Bidens. Also. Now,
I will tell you this, if Republicans are able to
(26:55):
prove all of that, I think it'll have a profound
impact on the public and you know, hopefully, hopefully it'll
bear fruit in the end. But with that said, we
didn't get what we wanted out of you know, the
Durham investigation, for example. Anyway, I hope that answers your question.
It's a big deal, a little unfold Once you see
(27:15):
Nancy Pelosi have to handle over that gavel, it's going
to be a moment You're going to be pretty happy
about that. I can guarantee. All Right, we have time
for one more call. Doug in Los Angeles. Doug, how
are you? I'm very good, sir, Thank you for taking
my call. I just wanted to say I'm one of
those independent voters that the GOP needs to woo every election.
(27:36):
And if you decide to have a town hall asking
indies what they think of the mid terms, I'll buy
my own ticket to be there. But what I wanted
to ask you about today is the EIA. The Energy
Information Administration website clearly shows the withdrawals from the Strategic
Petroleum Reserve and the sales to China. And the last
(27:59):
eight months, we have taken one hundred and forty three
point three million barrels out of the Strategic Oil Reserve
and we have sold one hundred and forty two point
nine million barrels of oil to China. And it seems
like I didn't know it was that high. When we
reported it, it was a much lower number. But the
(28:20):
idea that was selling any oil to China when we're
in desperate need of it makes no sense at all whatsoever.
So I'll look up the information myself. I didn't know.
I've not seen a number that high. But if you
can direct us where we can find that information, I'll,
I promise you, I'll be all over it. I would
be glad to send it to your producers. And right
(28:41):
now for the you know, there's only data available through
August ninety nine point seven percent of the oil taken
out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been exported to China.
It's almost one hundred So if in fact, if that's true,
you know, my biration. My belief was, Joe is you know,
(29:02):
compromising national security by going into the strategic petroleum reserves.
But I always saw it as a means to an end,
and they you know, he depleted half of it. It's
the lowest level in fifty years. And I thought it
was to increase the world's supply in the lead up
to the election and artificially reduced prices so we could say,
see prices are going down because you know all these
(29:25):
Republicans that say gas prices are too high, They're wrong,
They're wrong. Everything was temporary. It's all good now, but
we'll look into us. All right. That's gonna wrap things
up for today. Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox
News Channel Loaded up tonight, Hope you'll join us. Jim
Jordan is going to check in with us. Kevin McCarthy.
We'll talk about the battleful leadership in the House of Representatives.
(29:48):
NATO on high alert after this missile strike in Poland,
although Joe Biden's out there saying, oh, it's unlikely the
missiles fired into Poland came from Russia. Where'd they come from, Joe,
where do you think they come from? Anyway? Oliver and
North will join us for that. Michael Waltz will join
us on that issue as well. There's an update more
(30:08):
confusion over this NBC Paul Pelosi story. We'll find out
what that's all about. Kelly and Conway, Joe Concha and
four Iowa students brutally murdered will get into this story.
How does this happen more often than not? It has
just said Pam Bandi and much munch more ninety Stern
Hannity Fox, hope you'll join us. We'll see it then.
(30:29):
