Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thanks Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of
you for being well this Happy Friday, eight hundred and
ninety four one. Sean, you want to be a part
of this extravaganza, so one of the FBI whistleblowers, Garrett Boyle,
will be with us, coming up at the top of
the next hour. Later on, Judge Janine Piro joins us today.
By the way, she's one of the most fun people
(00:21):
at Fox, so you get to know her. She's smart,
she's fun, she's she's tough as nails, and really great
at what she does. This will be fun. On Tuesday,
we're doing an audience show at Hannity and Linda now
has gone to two shows with mister Wonderful. How does
he like the shows?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
He loves them. I mean, I think for any of
us that you know, whether you know even though I
work for you, I mean I watch it on TV.
It's a totally different experience to be in the studio
seeing the guests talking in between the commercials. It's really fun.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I made Linda catch up football and it was like, no,
I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh my god, so bad?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Okay. I basically had to walk up to you like
I was playing for the two year old and throw it,
put it right in your hand.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm not a proud woman. Okay, it wasn't my finest hour.
I think a lot of people felt sorry for me,
as they should have. You know, I have always said
athleticism is not my strong suit by any means.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, at least he was less touchy feely this time,
mister wonder.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Listen, he kept his hands to himself like a good kid.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
That's exactly the way it should be. Anyway, Judge, Janine
and Ted Cruz will be in studio. We're doing an
audience show this coming Tuesday, and so if you want tickets,
by the way, it's at Hannity dot Com. They're absolutely free,
but you just have to sign up in advance. So
if you want to come Tuesday, especially if you're in
(01:42):
the New York, New Jersey area. One of these days,
we've got to get our friend Mark Simona, and he's
been really helpful and bringing people to the show. He's great.
We'll get him on the He is the best. By
the way, you want to talk about a character in
his own right, that that is Mark Simone. Mark You
ever gonna leave New York New York City. Nope. Why
I love it here. It's the greatest place on earth.
(02:03):
I'm like, no, he is truly living.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Every day he is a I mean, honestly, a harcore
New Yorker. Every day his Instagram he is somewhere doing
something with someone. The man never stops.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
He's okay to the city.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
All right him? Curtis Sliwa I would agree. Now, do
you think Billy did you ever think Billy Joel would
be moving to Florida? Did you ever think that?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Shocking?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Shocking?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
He put his he doesn't live far from me. He
put his house up for sale, and he's looking to
move to Florida and get out of New York. What
happened to when New York state of mind, I'll tell
you what happened. They're robbing him blind and he's sick
of it and all the money he's accumulated and he's
still working. I went to one of his concerts at
(02:49):
the Garden. He's phenomenal. I mean, he sings like he
did when he was a kid. It's amazing. He puts
on the best show, the most entertaining show. People have
a blast at his shows, and he does them regularly
at Madison Square Garden and now he's leaving New York
message to Hannity, get the hell out of there. But anyway,
(03:11):
let me tell you how bad this is. So later
on in the program, at the top of the next hour,
we're going to have FPI whistleblower Garrett boy oh Boyle
rather testifying about the weaponization of our own government against
the people and also the retribution that whistleblowers have been receiving,
like himself, which is so sad. People that serve in
(03:32):
our FBI and how they've been mistreated. And remember the witnesses.
This week, Marcus Allen, the FBI whistleblower, Garrett O'Boyle will
join us in a little bit. Steve Friend who joined
us on the program yesterday, Representative Kat Camick and Matt
Gates and Jim Jordan. They did a great job. And
(03:53):
what he said is I never swore an oath to
the FBI. I swore an oath to the Constitution. And
the he said, the smear campaign as disgusting as it is,
it's it's unsurprising despite our oath to uphold the Constitution.
So he's a whistleblower. He comes out, he says, all
(04:16):
of this, and to what end that what he now
is in a position being suspended from the FBI. He
can't get a job. You know, they've they've set up
a a it's not go fund. What is the other
one that they set.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Up give sen go.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
We got to gives go.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's on Hannity dot Com, right the guy.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
The guy doesn't have money to feed his family. And
here's the other downside. They don't pay him. They suspend him,
and then he can't go out and get another job
because the other rules that they have that only allow
him to make SEP seventy five hundred dollars. It's insane,
you know, he's he's and he's pointing out these guys
that are all whistleblowers. They're given up a lot in
the process to expose how corrupt and politicized and weaponized
(04:58):
our FBI and DOJ. They've given up a lot. And
he even said it's up to members of this committee,
current former FBI employees, and indeed all Americans to ensure
that the weaponization of our own government against the people
comes to an end, no matter what the personal cost.
I mean, he's doing this at a great personal price.
And the guy's got three kids for crying out loud,
(05:20):
and the safeguards in place that the FBI are inadequate
and must be reworked to protect whistleblowers and others who
are inappropriately targeted. Now we have whistleblower protection laws, but
they're bypassing those laws and coming up with, you know, silly,
superfluous reasons to justify what is really retribution. He says
(05:43):
he was transferred across the country only to be suspended
on day one, and the FBI's actions then forced his
family to have to beg and borrow for warm codes
for their kids because their family's belongings were all locked
in an FBI controlled storage facility. You know, one of
the examples given in the congressional letter included an example
of where a neighbor or somehow someone knew a parent
(06:08):
that they believe was extreme. So that so you get
to call the FBI the world's premier law enforcement most
powerful law enforcement agency in the world, he says, on
a neighbor because they disagree with him. Well, that is
chilling targeting, you know, traditional Catholics, targeting pro life groups,
targeting tiger moms like Linda that show up at these
(06:29):
stupid school board meetings. How often you go to those
school board meetings?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I went just this past Tuesday to vote for my
local school board. You know, candidates, I mean, you have
to go all the time. You got to go and
you got to be heard, right, So when you.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Walk in, how many people say, oh, no, there she is.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I'll tell you what, there's a large constituency of people
like me from all across all the sides out we're
sick of.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I'm not what I didn't ask you about the people
that support you. How many I know, how many people
when they see you go come in, they go, oh, no,
here we go again. It's going to be another Adam
Schiff show.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I think that it becomes a very interesting time.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
That's what it becomes very interesting. But who knows, right,
I mean, it's insane, you know, the night.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
And I have no doubt they're watching absolutely.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So we know from the New York Post the FBI
deep six four separate investigations into the Clinton Foundation because
Hillary was running for president. Now this is on top
of the fact that she deleted with bleach bit, which
means if that just does not bring into account the
intention to break the law or violate the subpoena. I
(07:36):
don't know what does the fact that we I had
not heard of bleach bit before Hillary Clinton, but these
were subpoena emails thirty three thousand. They wipe them clean
like with a cloth. No, not like with a cloth.
They wiped them with bleach bit, basically acid washing or
hard drive of a computer. Beat up their devices blackberries
(07:58):
and iPhones so they you know, or you couldn't retrieve
anything from them, and remove their SIM cards and she
gets away with all that. Now we're discovering that four
separate investigations into the Clinton Foundation ended because she was
running for president and the FEDS had been looking into
claims that foreign countries and other individuals were trying to
(08:19):
influence the Clintons through donations to their namesake nonprofit and
Hillary's presidential campaign. Three of the FBI's four investigations were
launched in early twenty sixteen, looking into serious and by
the way, real allegations that the Clinton Foundation had a
hub of criminal activity. And now we know those federal
(08:40):
probes originated in the field offices at of Little Rock, Arkansas.
We had known that at a previous point, Washington, DC
and New York, all of which opened audits into the
charity as Hillary was in the midst of this run
and the Little Rock and New York offices were investigating
a claim that an outside commercial industry Weekly Quote engaged
(09:01):
in a public official in a flow of benefits scheme,
namely large monetary contributions that were made to a nonprofit
under both direct and indirect control of the federal public
official in exchange for favorable government action and or influence, which,
by the way, is what the IRS whistleblowers claiming about
Joe Biden, which is the document that now James Comer
(09:24):
and the Oversight Committee and Jim Jordan and the Judiciary
Committee and Senator Grassley over in the Senate has been
asking for. They didn't deny they had the document, that
is not willing to turn it over. The DC investigation
based on allegations that the Clintons accepted millions in donations
from foreign governments as well as massive Russian corporations in
an attempt to influence US foreign bottom bilacy dating back
(09:48):
to Hillary's days' secretary of State. By the way, originally
outlined in Peter Schweitzer's best selling book Clinton Cash and
the fourth investigation looked into allegations made by a well
placed source that Hillary continued accepting those the illegal donations
throughout the presidential campaign. You know, it's fascinating to watch
how House Democrats spent all of yesterday's hearing on the
(10:12):
FBI did the defund dismantled no ball law crowd, circling
the wagons around the FBI, attacking whistleblowers. That I thought
they love whistleblowers. I mean, like all the roles are reversed.
Democrats hate whistleblowers, and now they support law enforcement as
long as it's working on behalf of the Bidens and
(10:32):
the Clintons, because that's what happened this week and four
separate investigations ended. But anyway, so now they're circling the
wagons and attacking the whistle blowers. I thought you'd love
the whistle blowers because if it's leading to the impeachment
of Donald Trump, you're going to love them, you know.
Congresswoman Linda Sanchez, vice chair of the House Equality Caucus,
(10:55):
sought to demolish FBI whistleblower Marcus Allen for retweeting a
post asserting Nancy Pelosi stage January sixth. I mean, it
was the most embarrassing moment I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Mister Allen, have you ever used Twitter? Yes or no?
I have utilized Twitter? Yesday okay?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
And is your account at marcus A nine seven zero
five zero six four five.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
That is absolutely not my account. Okay, that's not your account. Well.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
On December fifth, twenty twenty two, an account under the
name Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said, that.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Is not my account.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Ma'am. You haven't let me finished the question, Sir football player,
you haven't let me finished the question on and the
time is mine. On December fifth, twenty twenty two, an
account under the name of Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet
that said, quote Nancy Pelosi stage January sixth, retweet if
you agree end quote?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Do you agree with that statement? Yes or no? That
that is I don't know, ma'am. That's not my account
at all. I have I'm asking whether you agree with
that statement yes or no? Can you please rephrase the
state of the general.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Do you think euired staged? January sixth? I just want
him to.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Answer answer, yeah, answer, I'm just telling your time Z.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Do you believe that Nancy Pelo Do you agree with
the statement that this person tweeted that Nancy Pelosi staged January.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Sixth anwer, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
All right, there you go. But there is that the
dumbest line of questioning you think you've ever heard in
your life. I mean, this happening in Congress. Alan's it's
not my Twitter account. It's not mine. No, that's not
my account. Whoopsie, Daisy, Well, let me ask you what
you think of somebody else, some anonymous person's tweet. How
stupid are these people? And after she finally seems to
(12:45):
admit it wasn't in his account, she demands to know
if allan agrees with what the anonymous person said. You
have the ranking Democrats Congresswoman Stacy Plasket howling, My colleagues
on the far right are on a mission to act
as credit and ultimately dismantled the FBI. Know, they're trying
to get rid of corruption in the FBI, an abuse
(13:05):
of power in the FBI and a dual system of justice,
and how the FBI has been politicized and the DOJ weaponized,
you know, saying they've brought forth these former agents men
that lost their security clearances. They lost their security clearances
because of retribution. That's why they lost their security clearances.
(13:25):
And by the way, plasket worked for komy Ray and Muller.
Just as a little side note, according to a little
birdie that I know eight hundred ninety four one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
And now a word from the forty six president of
the United States, you know you haven't.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
You're a line dog faced pony soldier, you says you are.
Now you gotta be honest.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I'm gonna be honest with you. Sean Hannity is on
right now. You know the thing about all things my
pillow products, they just work. I fall asleep faster, I
stay this leap longer. And guess what, Mike Lindell my
pillow They have just made their pillow my pillow the
original that much better with My Pillow two point oh.
(14:09):
The MyPillow two point zero has the patented adjustable fill
of the original My Pillow, but it now has brand new,
exclusive fabric that is made with temperature regulating thread. The
MyPillow two point zero is the softest, smoothest, and coolest

All right, So, now Democrats, all of a sudden they
like law enforcement as long as it's going after Donald Trump,
investigating Trump, then they're all for it. They love whistleblowers,
but only whistleblowers that speak out against Donald Trump. Ethics
experts are saying Joe Biden likely committed a felony by
(15:15):
failing to report a free vacation this in The New
York Post. It turns out that he failed to report
three luxury vacation stays that he accepted from a wealthy
Democratic supporters and omission that could very well be a felony.
According to a former White House ethics czar. Anyway, he
had three beach getaways at the homes of the wealthy
(15:37):
politically connected owners during a past year during the past
year reporting period. In two of the examples, Biden is
known not to have paid the owner. In the third case,
it's suspected the president did not pay. And ethics experts
who led the Obama era Office of Government Ethics guy
by the name of Richard Painter, the top ethics lawyer
(16:00):
in the George W. Bush White House. As free vacation
home stays need to be disclosed if the homeowner is
not present, it appears they were not because of a
personal hospitality exception would not apply. Whoever's preparing these forms
is not focusing, and if it's intentionally left off, then
you get into the criminal false statements law, and that
(16:24):
could be a felony. What do you think's gonna happen
with this? I'm gonna give a strong whopping, go out
on a limb, guess here and say nothing. That's what happens.
Whistle blower says he's willing to be homeless at the
hands of the FBI and still speak out. Anyway, We'll
check in with one of them at the top of
the next hour. Your calls also coming.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Up, standing up for what's right with America. We're back
on the Sean Hennity Show.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
All right to the top of the hour. Thanks for
being with us, eight hundred and nine to four to one. Shawn,
you want to be a part of the program. Look,
with crime on the rise, I need to upgrade my
firearms security, and so I started researching guns safe. I
wanted to I wanted to learn more than I knew,
and I found a game changer. It's called safe X
and it's by Rhino Metals. It's really revolutionary. Now if
(17:23):
makes standards safes and other gun safes, to be honest,
completely obsolete. You see for yourself if you go to
their website Rhino you spell like the animal r hi
n osafe dot com. R h I n O SA
FV dot com. They show you the side by side protests.
You watch those videos and then see for yourself. You'll
(17:44):
be amazed. Look, they've got amazing exterior styling options. I personally,
I like the old style. It looked like a saved
from the eighteen hundreds. It's antique industrial iron works finish.
It's just awesome. But they're so safe and so secure.
They have a gun rack that swings out of the
(18:04):
safe gives you the best access to your firearms anyway.
They've done an incredible job. Rhino Metals has a huge
network of expert dealers all around the country. If you're
a dealer and you don't carry Rhino Safe, you need
to carry them. Just get in contact with them and
you won't regret it. They'll be your number one selling safe,
the best in the business. Vetroan owned company since nineteen
(18:26):
ninety five. And if you want to check out the
best safe, just check out rhinosafe dot com. That's rhinos
spelled like the animal r hi n o safe dot com.
So do I think that it's possible that Joe Biden
waiting ninety seven days betting that Republicans in the House
(18:50):
would never get their act together and pass a debt
sealing increase bill. Do I think that he bet wrong? Yeah?
I think he was betting the whole time because they
look it took a while for speaking McCarthy to win
his race, and you know, but the Republicans were united
behind principles in a plan. And so now Joe Biden
(19:11):
has to cut his foreign trip. He's been to Japan,
he was supposed to go to Australia. I forget which
other countries he's now no longer going to. But so
the debt limit negotiations between the AIDS for Biden and
Kevin McCarthy were put on pause. Today they admit an
impasse over spending cuts. Now, as far as I'm concerned,
(19:32):
there were House Republicans did their job. Now this is
now Speaker McCarthy's biggest challenge because McCarthy got a got
enough people to vote for his bill. They only won
by two votes. And so whatever changes, Joe Biden is
going to quote demand the same guy that said he
wouldn't negotiate, the same guy that disappeared for ninety seven days,
(19:56):
the same guy that is barely negotiating now putting other
people out there to do it for him. They're coming
up last minute. Now, you know, today's the nineteenth. Okay,
so you got a twelve days left until Janet Yellen
says we're gonna run out. We're going to start defaulting
on our debt. Okay, well, where was he that one
(20:17):
hundred day period he was betting Republicans wouldn't get the
job done. Now, the bill they passed is a really
good bill. It goes back to twenty twenty two spending levels.
That's not onerous, that's not draconian, that's not burdensome. That
just makes sense. And then they cap baseline budgeting increases
(20:38):
to one percent. Is that that also is fiscally responsible.
The CBO scored it out a four point eight trillion
in savings over ten years. They also have exceptions in
there now to make us more energy independent. I mean,
the fact that we have abandoned energy independence is the
single dumbest thing that Joe Biden has ever done. On
(21:00):
top of open borders, you can add that to it.
So anyway, m McCarthy's negotiator walked out of a meeting
with the White House staff, saying that there was no
point in continuing talking until both sides were serious about
a deal. Until people are willing to have a reasonable
conversation about how you can actually move forward and do
the right thing, then we're not going to sit here
(21:22):
and talk to ourselves or negotiate against ourselves. Representative Garrett
Graves of Louisiana said then. A source close to the
talks has told The Washington Times that the negotiator hit
an endpass on several fronts. They don't want work requirements
only for able bodied men that are receiving government benefits
(21:45):
on welfare, or caps on future spending growth. They're only
capping it to one percent growth. That is not an
onerous burden when you have thirty one trillion dollars in debt.
There are real differences between the parties on budget, and
it's going to be hard. Now here's the problem. Let's
say they do come to some temporary agreement. All right,
(22:07):
that's fine. Now Kevin McCarthy's got to go back to
his entire caucus and say, will you accept these concessions
to get the debt ceiling done, debt ceiling built, or
increase done so we don't default, so Biden doesn't default.
I think the odds of that happening are probably pretty low,
(22:27):
because the breakdown in talks now come as Republicans and
Democratic leaders under pressure to deliver this deal.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
On Thursday yesterday, more than the more than forty member
of Freedom Caucus House Freedom Caucus rightly called for a
suspension of negotiations. Rather than negotiate. They said that mister
McCarthy should be pushing for the wholesale adoption of the
debt limit legislation that they already passed. This is Biden's default.
(22:54):
If this country defaults, it'll be on Joe Biden. Joe
Biden was Mia Biden said he wouldn't negotiate. Joe Biden
doesn't have constitutionally the power of the press. Kevin McCarthy
begged him daily for a meeting. He ignored Kevin McCarthy,
and so they went out on their own and they
(23:14):
came up with a very responsible fiscal plan that will
increase the debt ceiling so the country doesn't default. You know,
if you ever, if you ever, will look at the
problem in Washington, you know, it's not that they're not
taking enough of your money. They take plenty of our
money as a percent of GDP. The government's collecting taxes
(23:36):
at a rate way above historic norms, So it's it's
got to be spending thirty one trillion dollars in debt.
The government is spending at a rate way above what
historically has been the norm. The CBO points out the
government outlays totaled twenty five point one percent of GDP
in twenty twenty two, compared to pre COVID levels of
(23:59):
twenty percent. I mean, that's a twenty percent increase. And
Biden's debunk claims that his policies have cut the federal debt. No,
they have not. Facts are facts, lies or lies? Washington
DC has a spending problem, not a taxing problem or
a revenue problem. It's unreal anyway. The new debt ceiling
(24:20):
polls shows a landslide flied majority of Americans back this
work requirement. The Democratic leader in the House that came, Jeffries,
is dead set against it, but Axios points out that
nearly two thirds of Americans, including half of Democrats, want
work requirements for Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program benefits,
(24:42):
which House Republicans want in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.
You know, it shouldn't be free money. If you're an
able bodied man or woman, you should be able to
get out and work and participate. And that will also
similarly incentivize people to go out and get a job.
It's better off working for yourself and the pride and
the self esteem. It's incalculable in terms of your own
(25:04):
mental health. New AP poll shows that the American public
overwhelmingly support the position taken by House Republicans in the
debt sealing debate. New poll AP shows clearly a majority
sixty three percent say they think the negotiation should be
coupled with terms to reduce the budget deficit. That's what
the Republicans did. As I've been telling you, you look
(25:28):
at leading economic indicators, They've now tumbled for the thirteenth
straight month in a row. I know that Democrats want
to tell you that, oh, things are great. They're not great.
The housing market's not great, inflation's not great, and the
bad economic news, the hits just keep coming. Tax collections
are down in blue states across America. Look at New
(25:50):
York State alone, personal income tax collections plunged by a
whopping forty nine percent from April twenty twenty two to
April twenty twenty three. Well, one of the reasons is
people are getting their ass out of New York. They
don't want to be here. I can't blame them because
they're robbing everybody blind, you know. Former Governor Cuomo said,
(26:11):
tax the rich tax the rich, tax the rich. Yeah,
and then guess what we tax them? And then they leave.
They don't care anymore.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Tax the rich, tax the rich, tax the rich. We
did now, God forbid the rich leave.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Well, they're leaving. At one energy watchdog group warning the
two thirds of North America could face blackouts this summer
because of this insane climate alarmist religious cult. Anyway, they're saying,
this war on energy now is having a devastating impact
on our power grid. More than two thirds of North
America could see electrical outages when temperature spiked this coming
(26:47):
summer because utilities in many areas do not have sufficient
reserve generation capacity to meet the surges in demand. This
is every one of these problems that we have, from
our border, to the high cost of energy, to inflation,
everything that's impacting you know, high interest rates, all of
it is was all preventable. If this guy would have
(27:11):
come into office and not changed the thing and just
just slept through his presidency up to this point, we'd
be in a lot better shape. On major US power
source facing extinction thanks to red tape calling for reform,
The nation's top hydro power trade group and energy developers
are now raising the alarm on the regulatory process facing
(27:32):
new and existing projects, warning of a reliable source of
electricity for millions at risk hydro power. It s applies
nearly eighty thousand megawatts of our nation's power, six point
two percent of the total used in the US anyway
utility scale electricity in twenty eight point seven percent of
the total utility scale renewable electricity, according to federal data.
(27:57):
It remains a key part of the nation's growing power grid,
but stakeholders now are arguing it's facing regulatory hurdles far
greater than those faced by other carbon free sources of electricity.
Guess what, They're not going to be able to keep
going zero heads today. The large percentage of the American
consumers are now facing financial hardship as they grappled with
(28:18):
elevated living costs, Biden inflation, record high credit card use.
You know, by the way credit card you know interest rates,
if you're taken a look at them, Yeah, they're massive.
Can't afford it if you if you can't live paycheck
to paycheck and you tap it into your pension or
tap it into your credit card like so many Americans are.
We're in trouble. Paying that money back is not going
(28:40):
to be easy. As many as eighty nine point one
million American adults were bound to experience some form of
difficulty covering their expenses between April twenty six and May eighth,
according to Bloomberg, citing new data from the Household Pulse survey.
That's up from thirty four twenty two two and twenty
(29:01):
six point seven percent in the same period in twenty
twenty one. It's almost double. The Keystowe pipeline owner gives
Biden's energy agenda reality check. We would be taken in
a nine hundred thousand barrels of Canadian oil a day.
Every single problem we have was preventable, every one of them.
(29:24):
House Republicans now launching an investigation into the terrorism threat
at the southern border. You think you think it's time.
Look with all of the people on the terror watch
list that they caught. It's simple math if you extrapolate
out the percentage of godaways versus the percentage of people
that have been caught and then allowed into the country illegally,
(29:47):
and you say, okay, well, we have hundreds of people
on the terror watch lists that we've caught since Joe
Biden have been president. Just extrapolate out, and I would
argue the numbers likely higher because if they're coming in
here and they know they might be on watch list,
they're probably going to try and come in at a
point of entry where nobody notices them. I mean, terrorists
can be evil and grotesquely so with nefarious plans to
(30:12):
destroy America, and then they're they're plotting and planning and scheming.
How much do you want to bet one day and
I pray to God I'm wrong, that we're gonna wake
up and there's gonna be some terror attack in this
country and we're gonna find out they came through the
Joe Biden's porous open southern borders. How much you want
to bet that's gonna happen? Now? I hope that I'm wrong,
(30:35):
but I don't think I'm going to be wrong anyway.
There's reports now Tim Scott announced that he's running for
president today, the senator from South Carolina. We'll try and
get him on the show sometime next week. And also
it is reported that Ron DeSantis is set to launch
a twenty twenty four presidential bid next week. I wasn't
(30:55):
sure completely that he was committed to doing it, but
I guess, based on reports today, it looks like he's
going to and it's gonna the whole thing is gonna
be interesting to watch. Now, this may sound naive on
my part. Do I wish they weren't at each other's
throats from the get go, from the opening salvo? Yeah?
I think it would be better for Republicans if, at
(31:17):
least for a while, they play nice. But I'm also realistic.
I've been doing this for thirty five years, and at
some point during the primary, the stakes get high, and
once those steaks get high, those gloves come off and
it's a bare fisted brawl. But this one seems to be,
especially between Trump and DeSantis, to start out as a
bare fisted brawl. And I don't think there's anything that
(31:39):
anyone can say or do that's going to stop that
from happening. But we'll see what happens next week. We'll
be here obviously covering this well. Next week's Memorial Day weekend.
I'm not sure there's going to be many people around,
you know, I'm not sure if that's the best week
to make the announcement. Listen, I want to remind you
about our friends at the Tunnel the Towers Foundation. When
(32:00):
a service member or a first responder dies or is
catastrophically injured in the line of duty, Who's there for
them and their families that are left behind. Who's helping
our homeless vets and our nation? Never to forget nine
to eleven one? Well, that's what they do at the
Tunnel to Towers Foundation now. The foundations in the Line
(32:20):
of Duty programs are comprised of gold Star Fallen first Responders,
Smart Home Veteran homelessness programs, all of which are dedicated
to honoring our nation's heroes and their families. The foundation's
motto never Forget programs engage people in nine to eleven
remembrance all across the country. They got over eighty runs, walks,
(32:42):
climbs every year, dozens of golf outings, barbecues. The Tunnel
to Towers Nine to eleven Institute educating kids from k
through twelfth grade to help our nation to keep its
vowed and never forget anyway. More than ninety five cents
out of every dollar you donate to Tunnel to Towers
goes to these programs, So they're asking all of us
join us here at Team Hannity. We're all committed eleven
(33:04):
bucks a month to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Go
to their website the letter T the number two, the
letter T dot org. The letter T the number two,
the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
More Hannity, less big government. He's your watchdog on Washington.
(33:30):
Hannity is on anyway. In the note, the ouse Republicans
now launched the probe today into the soaring number of
terrorism suspects who have been detected trying to sneak into
the US. Biden says, it's a clearer national security risk. Well,
(33:51):
why don't you close the border and stop lying to
us and say, oh, the border's secure. No, it's not secure.
It's not been there is. Finally, they've seemed to have
heard US legislation introduced in the House that would bar
individuals associated with the Chinese Communist Party or other foreign
adversaries from buying, releasing US farmland. The Communists Chinese have
(34:15):
been buying all this farmland, all this ranch land, often
near military installations. We China, ever, allow American nationals to
go over to China and buy their farmland, their ranch land.
No by land near their military installations. I don't think so.
Now they're only including a rand North Korea, China, and Russia.
(34:38):
It makes no sense to me none. But nothing that
is going on in this country right now is making
a whole lot of sense, all right, when we come back,
one of the whistleblowers, Garrett O'Boyle and Judge Janine Piro
coming up straight ahead this Friday,
All right, thanks Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of
you for being well this Happy Friday, eight hundred and
ninety four one. Sean, you want to be a part
of this extravaganza, so one of the FBI whistleblowers, Garrett Boyle,
will be with us, coming up at the top of
the next hour. Later on, Judge Janine Piro joins us today.
By the way, she's one of the most fun people
(00:21):
at Fox, so you get to know her. She's smart,
she's fun, she's she's tough as nails, and really great
at what she does. This will be fun. On Tuesday,
we're doing an audience show at Hannity and Linda now
has gone to two shows with mister Wonderful. How does
he like the shows?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
He loves them. I mean, I think for any of
us that you know, whether you know even though I
work for you, I mean I watch it on TV.
It's a totally different experience to be in the studio
seeing the guests talking in between the commercials. It's really fun.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I made Linda catch up football and it was like, no,
I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh my god, so bad?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Okay. I basically had to walk up to you like
I was playing for the two year old and throw it,
put it right in your hand.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm not a proud woman. Okay, it wasn't my finest hour.
I think a lot of people felt sorry for me,
as they should have. You know, I have always said
athleticism is not my strong suit by any means.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, at least he was less touchy feely this time,
mister wonder.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Listen, he kept his hands to himself like a good kid.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
That's exactly the way it should be. Anyway, Judge, Janine
and Ted Cruz will be in studio. We're doing an
audience show this coming Tuesday, and so if you want tickets,
by the way, it's at Hannity dot Com. They're absolutely free,
but you just have to sign up in advance. So
if you want to come Tuesday, especially if you're in
(01:42):
the New York, New Jersey area. One of these days,
we've got to get our friend Mark Simona, and he's
been really helpful and bringing people to the show. He's great.
We'll get him on the He is the best. By
the way, you want to talk about a character in
his own right, that that is Mark Simone. Mark You
ever gonna leave New York New York City. Nope. Why
I love it here. It's the greatest place on earth.
(02:03):
I'm like, no, he is truly living.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Every day he is a I mean, honestly, a harcore
New Yorker. Every day his Instagram he is somewhere doing
something with someone. The man never stops.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
He's okay to the city.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
All right him? Curtis Sliwa I would agree. Now, do
you think Billy did you ever think Billy Joel would
be moving to Florida? Did you ever think that?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Shocking?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Shocking?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
He put his he doesn't live far from me. He
put his house up for sale, and he's looking to
move to Florida and get out of New York. What
happened to when New York state of mind, I'll tell
you what happened. They're robbing him blind and he's sick
of it and all the money he's accumulated and he's
still working. I went to one of his concerts at
(02:49):
the Garden. He's phenomenal. I mean, he sings like he
did when he was a kid. It's amazing. He puts
on the best show, the most entertaining show. People have
a blast at his shows, and he does them regularly
at Madison Square Garden and now he's leaving New York
message to Hannity, get the hell out of there. But anyway,
(03:11):
let me tell you how bad this is. So later
on in the program, at the top of the next hour,
we're going to have FPI whistleblower Garrett boy oh Boyle
rather testifying about the weaponization of our own government against
the people and also the retribution that whistleblowers have been receiving,
like himself, which is so sad. People that serve in
(03:32):
our FBI and how they've been mistreated. And remember the witnesses.
This week, Marcus Allen, the FBI whistleblower, Garrett O'Boyle will
join us in a little bit. Steve Friend who joined
us on the program yesterday, Representative Kat Camick and Matt
Gates and Jim Jordan. They did a great job. And
(03:53):
what he said is I never swore an oath to
the FBI. I swore an oath to the Constitution. And
the he said, the smear campaign as disgusting as it is,
it's it's unsurprising despite our oath to uphold the Constitution.
So he's a whistleblower. He comes out, he says, all
(04:16):
of this, and to what end that what he now
is in a position being suspended from the FBI. He
can't get a job. You know, they've they've set up
a a it's not go fund. What is the other
one that they set.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Up give sen go.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
We got to gives go.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's on Hannity dot Com, right the guy.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
The guy doesn't have money to feed his family. And
here's the other downside. They don't pay him. They suspend him,
and then he can't go out and get another job
because the other rules that they have that only allow
him to make SEP seventy five hundred dollars. It's insane,
you know, he's he's and he's pointing out these guys
that are all whistleblowers. They're given up a lot in
the process to expose how corrupt and politicized and weaponized
(04:58):
our FBI and DOJ. They've given up a lot. And
he even said it's up to members of this committee,
current former FBI employees, and indeed all Americans to ensure
that the weaponization of our own government against the people
comes to an end, no matter what the personal cost.
I mean, he's doing this at a great personal price.
And the guy's got three kids for crying out loud,
(05:20):
and the safeguards in place that the FBI are inadequate
and must be reworked to protect whistleblowers and others who
are inappropriately targeted. Now we have whistleblower protection laws, but
they're bypassing those laws and coming up with, you know, silly,
superfluous reasons to justify what is really retribution. He says
(05:43):
he was transferred across the country only to be suspended
on day one, and the FBI's actions then forced his
family to have to beg and borrow for warm codes
for their kids because their family's belongings were all locked
in an FBI controlled storage facility. You know, one of
the examples given in the congressional letter included an example
of where a neighbor or somehow someone knew a parent
(06:08):
that they believe was extreme. So that so you get
to call the FBI the world's premier law enforcement most
powerful law enforcement agency in the world, he says, on
a neighbor because they disagree with him. Well, that is
chilling targeting, you know, traditional Catholics, targeting pro life groups,
targeting tiger moms like Linda that show up at these
(06:29):
stupid school board meetings. How often you go to those
school board meetings?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I went just this past Tuesday to vote for my
local school board. You know, candidates, I mean, you have
to go all the time. You got to go and
you got to be heard, right, So when you.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Walk in, how many people say, oh, no, there she is.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I'll tell you what, there's a large constituency of people
like me from all across all the sides out we're
sick of.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I'm not what I didn't ask you about the people
that support you. How many I know, how many people
when they see you go come in, they go, oh, no,
here we go again. It's going to be another Adam
Schiff show.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I think that it becomes a very interesting time.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
That's what it becomes very interesting. But who knows, right,
I mean, it's insane, you know, the night.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
And I have no doubt they're watching absolutely.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So we know from the New York Post the FBI
deep six four separate investigations into the Clinton Foundation because
Hillary was running for president. Now this is on top
of the fact that she deleted with bleach bit, which
means if that just does not bring into account the
intention to break the law or violate the subpoena. I
(07:36):
don't know what does the fact that we I had
not heard of bleach bit before Hillary Clinton, but these
were subpoena emails thirty three thousand. They wipe them clean
like with a cloth. No, not like with a cloth.
They wiped them with bleach bit, basically acid washing or
hard drive of a computer. Beat up their devices blackberries
(07:58):
and iPhones so they you know, or you couldn't retrieve
anything from them, and remove their SIM cards and she
gets away with all that. Now we're discovering that four
separate investigations into the Clinton Foundation ended because she was
running for president and the FEDS had been looking into
claims that foreign countries and other individuals were trying to
(08:19):
influence the Clintons through donations to their namesake nonprofit and
Hillary's presidential campaign. Three of the FBI's four investigations were
launched in early twenty sixteen, looking into serious and by
the way, real allegations that the Clinton Foundation had a
hub of criminal activity. And now we know those federal
(08:40):
probes originated in the field offices at of Little Rock, Arkansas.
We had known that at a previous point, Washington, DC
and New York, all of which opened audits into the
charity as Hillary was in the midst of this run
and the Little Rock and New York offices were investigating
a claim that an outside commercial industry Weekly Quote engaged
(09:01):
in a public official in a flow of benefits scheme,
namely large monetary contributions that were made to a nonprofit
under both direct and indirect control of the federal public
official in exchange for favorable government action and or influence, which,
by the way, is what the IRS whistleblowers claiming about
Joe Biden, which is the document that now James Comer
(09:24):
and the Oversight Committee and Jim Jordan and the Judiciary
Committee and Senator Grassley over in the Senate has been
asking for. They didn't deny they had the document, that
is not willing to turn it over. The DC investigation
based on allegations that the Clintons accepted millions in donations
from foreign governments as well as massive Russian corporations in
an attempt to influence US foreign bottom bilacy dating back
(09:48):
to Hillary's days' secretary of State. By the way, originally
outlined in Peter Schweitzer's best selling book Clinton Cash and
the fourth investigation looked into allegations made by a well
placed source that Hillary continued accepting those the illegal donations
throughout the presidential campaign. You know, it's fascinating to watch
how House Democrats spent all of yesterday's hearing on the
(10:12):
FBI did the defund dismantled no ball law crowd, circling
the wagons around the FBI, attacking whistleblowers. That I thought
they love whistleblowers. I mean, like all the roles are reversed.
Democrats hate whistleblowers, and now they support law enforcement as
long as it's working on behalf of the Bidens and
(10:32):
the Clintons, because that's what happened this week and four
separate investigations ended. But anyway, so now they're circling the
wagons and attacking the whistle blowers. I thought you'd love
the whistle blowers because if it's leading to the impeachment
of Donald Trump, you're going to love them, you know.
Congresswoman Linda Sanchez, vice chair of the House Equality Caucus,
(10:55):
sought to demolish FBI whistleblower Marcus Allen for retweeting a
post asserting Nancy Pelosi stage January sixth. I mean, it
was the most embarrassing moment I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Mister Allen, have you ever used Twitter? Yes or no?
I have utilized Twitter? Yesday okay?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
And is your account at marcus A nine seven zero
five zero six four five.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
That is absolutely not my account. Okay, that's not your account. Well.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
On December fifth, twenty twenty two, an account under the
name Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said, that.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Is not my account.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Ma'am. You haven't let me finished the question, Sir football player,
you haven't let me finished the question on and the
time is mine. On December fifth, twenty twenty two, an
account under the name of Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet
that said, quote Nancy Pelosi stage January sixth, retweet if
you agree end quote?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Do you agree with that statement? Yes or no? That
that is I don't know, ma'am. That's not my account
at all. I have I'm asking whether you agree with
that statement yes or no? Can you please rephrase the
state of the general.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Do you think euired staged? January sixth? I just want
him to.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Answer answer, yeah, answer, I'm just telling your time Z.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Do you believe that Nancy Pelo Do you agree with
the statement that this person tweeted that Nancy Pelosi staged January.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Sixth anwer, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
All right, there you go. But there is that the
dumbest line of questioning you think you've ever heard in
your life. I mean, this happening in Congress. Alan's it's
not my Twitter account. It's not mine. No, that's not
my account. Whoopsie, Daisy, Well, let me ask you what
you think of somebody else, some anonymous person's tweet. How
stupid are these people? And after she finally seems to
(12:45):
admit it wasn't in his account, she demands to know
if allan agrees with what the anonymous person said. You
have the ranking Democrats Congresswoman Stacy Plasket howling, My colleagues
on the far right are on a mission to act
as credit and ultimately dismantled the FBI. Know, they're trying
to get rid of corruption in the FBI, an abuse
(13:05):
of power in the FBI and a dual system of justice,
and how the FBI has been politicized and the DOJ weaponized,
you know, saying they've brought forth these former agents men
that lost their security clearances. They lost their security clearances
because of retribution. That's why they lost their security clearances.
(13:25):
And by the way, plasket worked for komy Ray and Muller.
Just as a little side note, according to a little
birdie that I know eight hundred ninety four one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
And now a word from the forty six president of
the United States, you know you haven't.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
You're a line dog faced pony soldier, you says you are.
Now you gotta be honest.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I'm gonna be honest with you. Sean Hannity is on
right now. You know the thing about all things my
pillow products, they just work. I fall asleep faster, I
stay this leap longer. And guess what, Mike Lindell my
pillow They have just made their pillow my pillow the
original that much better with My Pillow two point oh.

All right, So, now Democrats, all of a sudden they
like law enforcement as long as it's going after Donald Trump,
investigating Trump, then they're all for it. They love whistleblowers,
but only whistleblowers that speak out against Donald Trump. Ethics
experts are saying Joe Biden likely committed a felony by
(15:15):
failing to report a free vacation this in The New
York Post. It turns out that he failed to report
three luxury vacation stays that he accepted from a wealthy
Democratic supporters and omission that could very well be a felony.
According to a former White House ethics czar. Anyway, he
had three beach getaways at the homes of the wealthy
(15:37):
politically connected owners during a past year during the past
year reporting period. In two of the examples, Biden is
known not to have paid the owner. In the third case,
it's suspected the president did not pay. And ethics experts
who led the Obama era Office of Government Ethics guy
by the name of Richard Painter, the top ethics lawyer
(16:00):
in the George W. Bush White House. As free vacation
home stays need to be disclosed if the homeowner is
not present, it appears they were not because of a
personal hospitality exception would not apply. Whoever's preparing these forms
is not focusing, and if it's intentionally left off, then
you get into the criminal false statements law, and that
(16:24):
could be a felony. What do you think's gonna happen
with this? I'm gonna give a strong whopping, go out
on a limb, guess here and say nothing. That's what happens.
Whistle blower says he's willing to be homeless at the
hands of the FBI and still speak out. Anyway, We'll
check in with one of them at the top of
the next hour. Your calls also coming.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Up, standing up for what's right with America. We're back
on the Sean Hennity Show.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
All right to the top of the hour. Thanks for
being with us, eight hundred and nine to four to one. Shawn,
you want to be a part of the program. Look,
with crime on the rise, I need to upgrade my
firearms security, and so I started researching guns safe. I
wanted to I wanted to learn more than I knew,
and I found a game changer. It's called safe X
and it's by Rhino Metals. It's really revolutionary. Now if
(17:23):
makes standards safes and other gun safes, to be honest,
completely obsolete. You see for yourself if you go to
their website Rhino you spell like the animal r hi
n osafe dot com. R h I n O SA
FV dot com. They show you the side by side protests.
You watch those videos and then see for yourself. You'll
(17:44):
be amazed. Look, they've got amazing exterior styling options. I personally,
I like the old style. It looked like a saved
from the eighteen hundreds. It's antique industrial iron works finish.
It's just awesome. But they're so safe and so secure.
They have a gun rack that swings out of the
(18:04):
safe gives you the best access to your firearms anyway.
They've done an incredible job. Rhino Metals has a huge
network of expert dealers all around the country. If you're
a dealer and you don't carry Rhino Safe, you need
to carry them. Just get in contact with them and
you won't regret it. They'll be your number one selling safe,
the best in the business. Vetroan owned company since nineteen
(18:26):
ninety five. And if you want to check out the
best safe, just check out rhinosafe dot com. That's rhinos
spelled like the animal r hi n o safe dot com.
So do I think that it's possible that Joe Biden
waiting ninety seven days betting that Republicans in the House
(18:50):
would never get their act together and pass a debt
sealing increase bill. Do I think that he bet wrong? Yeah?
I think he was betting the whole time because they
look it took a while for speaking McCarthy to win
his race, and you know, but the Republicans were united
behind principles in a plan. And so now Joe Biden
(19:11):
has to cut his foreign trip. He's been to Japan,
he was supposed to go to Australia. I forget which
other countries he's now no longer going to. But so
the debt limit negotiations between the AIDS for Biden and
Kevin McCarthy were put on pause. Today they admit an
impasse over spending cuts. Now, as far as I'm concerned,
(19:32):
there were House Republicans did their job. Now this is
now Speaker McCarthy's biggest challenge because McCarthy got a got
enough people to vote for his bill. They only won
by two votes. And so whatever changes, Joe Biden is
going to quote demand the same guy that said he
wouldn't negotiate, the same guy that disappeared for ninety seven days,
(19:56):
the same guy that is barely negotiating now putting other
people out there to do it for him. They're coming
up last minute. Now, you know, today's the nineteenth. Okay,
so you got a twelve days left until Janet Yellen
says we're gonna run out. We're going to start defaulting
on our debt. Okay, well, where was he that one
(20:17):
hundred day period he was betting Republicans wouldn't get the
job done. Now, the bill they passed is a really
good bill. It goes back to twenty twenty two spending levels.
That's not onerous, that's not draconian, that's not burdensome. That
just makes sense. And then they cap baseline budgeting increases
(20:38):
to one percent. Is that that also is fiscally responsible.
The CBO scored it out a four point eight trillion
in savings over ten years. They also have exceptions in
there now to make us more energy independent. I mean,
the fact that we have abandoned energy independence is the
single dumbest thing that Joe Biden has ever done. On
(21:00):
top of open borders, you can add that to it.
So anyway, m McCarthy's negotiator walked out of a meeting
with the White House staff, saying that there was no
point in continuing talking until both sides were serious about
a deal. Until people are willing to have a reasonable
conversation about how you can actually move forward and do
the right thing, then we're not going to sit here
(21:22):
and talk to ourselves or negotiate against ourselves. Representative Garrett
Graves of Louisiana said then. A source close to the
talks has told The Washington Times that the negotiator hit
an endpass on several fronts. They don't want work requirements
only for able bodied men that are receiving government benefits
(21:45):
on welfare, or caps on future spending growth. They're only
capping it to one percent growth. That is not an
onerous burden when you have thirty one trillion dollars in debt.
There are real differences between the parties on budget, and
it's going to be hard. Now here's the problem. Let's
say they do come to some temporary agreement. All right,
(22:07):
that's fine. Now Kevin McCarthy's got to go back to
his entire caucus and say, will you accept these concessions
to get the debt ceiling done, debt ceiling built, or
increase done so we don't default, so Biden doesn't default.
I think the odds of that happening are probably pretty low,
(22:27):
because the breakdown in talks now come as Republicans and
Democratic leaders under pressure to deliver this deal.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
On Thursday yesterday, more than the more than forty member
of Freedom Caucus House Freedom Caucus rightly called for a
suspension of negotiations. Rather than negotiate. They said that mister
McCarthy should be pushing for the wholesale adoption of the
debt limit legislation that they already passed. This is Biden's default.
(22:54):
If this country defaults, it'll be on Joe Biden. Joe
Biden was Mia Biden said he wouldn't negotiate. Joe Biden
doesn't have constitutionally the power of the press. Kevin McCarthy
begged him daily for a meeting. He ignored Kevin McCarthy,
and so they went out on their own and they
(23:14):
came up with a very responsible fiscal plan that will
increase the debt ceiling so the country doesn't default. You know,
if you ever, if you ever, will look at the
problem in Washington, you know, it's not that they're not
taking enough of your money. They take plenty of our
money as a percent of GDP. The government's collecting taxes
(23:36):
at a rate way above historic norms, So it's it's
got to be spending thirty one trillion dollars in debt.
The government is spending at a rate way above what
historically has been the norm. The CBO points out the
government outlays totaled twenty five point one percent of GDP
in twenty twenty two, compared to pre COVID levels of
(23:59):
twenty percent. I mean, that's a twenty percent increase. And
Biden's debunk claims that his policies have cut the federal debt. No,
they have not. Facts are facts, lies or lies? Washington
DC has a spending problem, not a taxing problem or
a revenue problem. It's unreal anyway. The new debt ceiling
(24:20):
polls shows a landslide flied majority of Americans back this
work requirement. The Democratic leader in the House that came, Jeffries,
is dead set against it, but Axios points out that
nearly two thirds of Americans, including half of Democrats, want
work requirements for Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program benefits,
(24:42):
which House Republicans want in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.
You know, it shouldn't be free money. If you're an
able bodied man or woman, you should be able to
get out and work and participate. And that will also
similarly incentivize people to go out and get a job.
It's better off working for yourself and the pride and
the self esteem. It's incalculable in terms of your own
(25:04):
mental health. New AP poll shows that the American public
overwhelmingly support the position taken by House Republicans in the
debt sealing debate. New poll AP shows clearly a majority
sixty three percent say they think the negotiation should be
coupled with terms to reduce the budget deficit. That's what
the Republicans did. As I've been telling you, you look
(25:28):
at leading economic indicators, They've now tumbled for the thirteenth
straight month in a row. I know that Democrats want
to tell you that, oh, things are great. They're not great.
The housing market's not great, inflation's not great, and the
bad economic news, the hits just keep coming. Tax collections
are down in blue states across America. Look at New
(25:50):
York State alone, personal income tax collections plunged by a
whopping forty nine percent from April twenty twenty two to
April twenty twenty three. Well, one of the reasons is
people are getting their ass out of New York. They
don't want to be here. I can't blame them because
they're robbing everybody blind, you know. Former Governor Cuomo said,
(26:11):
tax the rich tax the rich, tax the rich. Yeah,
and then guess what we tax them? And then they leave.
They don't care anymore.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Tax the rich, tax the rich, tax the rich. We
did now, God forbid the rich leave.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Well, they're leaving. At one energy watchdog group warning the
two thirds of North America could face blackouts this summer
because of this insane climate alarmist religious cult. Anyway, they're saying,
this war on energy now is having a devastating impact
on our power grid. More than two thirds of North
America could see electrical outages when temperature spiked this coming
(26:47):
summer because utilities in many areas do not have sufficient
reserve generation capacity to meet the surges in demand. This
is every one of these problems that we have, from
our border, to the high cost of energy, to inflation,
everything that's impacting you know, high interest rates, all of
it is was all preventable. If this guy would have
(27:11):
come into office and not changed the thing and just
just slept through his presidency up to this point, we'd
be in a lot better shape. On major US power
source facing extinction thanks to red tape calling for reform,
The nation's top hydro power trade group and energy developers
are now raising the alarm on the regulatory process facing
(27:32):
new and existing projects, warning of a reliable source of
electricity for millions at risk hydro power. It s applies
nearly eighty thousand megawatts of our nation's power, six point
two percent of the total used in the US anyway
utility scale electricity in twenty eight point seven percent of
the total utility scale renewable electricity, according to federal data.
(27:57):
It remains a key part of the nation's growing power grid,
but stakeholders now are arguing it's facing regulatory hurdles far
greater than those faced by other carbon free sources of electricity.
Guess what, They're not going to be able to keep
going zero heads today. The large percentage of the American
consumers are now facing financial hardship as they grappled with
(28:18):
elevated living costs, Biden inflation, record high credit card use.
You know, by the way credit card you know interest rates,
if you're taken a look at them, Yeah, they're massive.
Can't afford it if you if you can't live paycheck
to paycheck and you tap it into your pension or
tap it into your credit card like so many Americans are.
We're in trouble. Paying that money back is not going
(28:40):
to be easy. As many as eighty nine point one
million American adults were bound to experience some form of
difficulty covering their expenses between April twenty six and May eighth,
according to Bloomberg, citing new data from the Household Pulse survey.
That's up from thirty four twenty two two and twenty
(29:01):
six point seven percent in the same period in twenty
twenty one. It's almost double. The Keystowe pipeline owner gives
Biden's energy agenda reality check. We would be taken in
a nine hundred thousand barrels of Canadian oil a day.
Every single problem we have was preventable, every one of them.
(29:24):
House Republicans now launching an investigation into the terrorism threat
at the southern border. You think you think it's time.
Look with all of the people on the terror watch
list that they caught. It's simple math if you extrapolate
out the percentage of godaways versus the percentage of people
that have been caught and then allowed into the country illegally,
(29:47):
and you say, okay, well, we have hundreds of people
on the terror watch lists that we've caught since Joe
Biden have been president. Just extrapolate out, and I would
argue the numbers likely higher because if they're coming in
here and they know they might be on watch list,
they're probably going to try and come in at a
point of entry where nobody notices them. I mean, terrorists
can be evil and grotesquely so with nefarious plans to
(30:12):
destroy America, and then they're they're plotting and planning and scheming.
How much do you want to bet one day and
I pray to God I'm wrong, that we're gonna wake
up and there's gonna be some terror attack in this
country and we're gonna find out they came through the
Joe Biden's porous open southern borders. How much you want
to bet that's gonna happen? Now? I hope that I'm wrong,
(30:35):
but I don't think I'm going to be wrong anyway.
There's reports now Tim Scott announced that he's running for
president today, the senator from South Carolina. We'll try and
get him on the show sometime next week. And also
it is reported that Ron DeSantis is set to launch
a twenty twenty four presidential bid next week. I wasn't
(30:55):
sure completely that he was committed to doing it, but
I guess, based on reports today, it looks like he's
going to and it's gonna the whole thing is gonna
be interesting to watch. Now, this may sound naive on
my part. Do I wish they weren't at each other's
throats from the get go, from the opening salvo? Yeah?
I think it would be better for Republicans if, at
(31:17):
least for a while, they play nice. But I'm also realistic.
I've been doing this for thirty five years, and at
some point during the primary, the stakes get high, and
once those steaks get high, those gloves come off and
it's a bare fisted brawl. But this one seems to be,
especially between Trump and DeSantis, to start out as a
bare fisted brawl. And I don't think there's anything that
(31:39):
anyone can say or do that's going to stop that
from happening. But we'll see what happens next week. We'll
be here obviously covering this well. Next week's Memorial Day weekend.
I'm not sure there's going to be many people around,
you know, I'm not sure if that's the best week
to make the announcement. Listen, I want to remind you
about our friends at the Tunnel the Towers Foundation. When
(32:00):
a service member or a first responder dies or is
catastrophically injured in the line of duty, Who's there for
them and their families that are left behind. Who's helping
our homeless vets and our nation? Never to forget nine
to eleven one? Well, that's what they do at the
Tunnel to Towers Foundation now. The foundations in the Line
(32:20):
of Duty programs are comprised of gold Star Fallen first Responders,
Smart Home Veteran homelessness programs, all of which are dedicated
to honoring our nation's heroes and their families. The foundation's
motto never Forget programs engage people in nine to eleven
remembrance all across the country. They got over eighty runs, walks,
(32:42):
climbs every year, dozens of golf outings, barbecues. The Tunnel
to Towers Nine to eleven Institute educating kids from k
through twelfth grade to help our nation to keep its
vowed and never forget anyway. More than ninety five cents
out of every dollar you donate to Tunnel to Towers
goes to these programs, So they're asking all of us
join us here at Team Hannity. We're all committed eleven
(33:04):
bucks a month to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Go
to their website the letter T the number two, the
letter T dot org. The letter T the number two,
the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
More Hannity, less big government. He's your watchdog on Washington.
(33:30):
Hannity is on anyway. In the note, the ouse Republicans
now launched the probe today into the soaring number of
terrorism suspects who have been detected trying to sneak into
the US. Biden says, it's a clearer national security risk. Well,
(33:51):
why don't you close the border and stop lying to
us and say, oh, the border's secure. No, it's not secure.
It's not been there is. Finally, they've seemed to have
heard US legislation introduced in the House that would bar
individuals associated with the Chinese Communist Party or other foreign
adversaries from buying, releasing US farmland. The Communists Chinese have
(34:15):
been buying all this farmland, all this ranch land, often
near military installations. We China, ever, allow American nationals to
go over to China and buy their farmland, their ranch land.
No by land near their military installations. I don't think so.
Now they're only including a rand North Korea, China, and Russia.
(34:38):
It makes no sense to me none. But nothing that
is going on in this country right now is making
a whole lot of sense, all right, when we come back,
one of the whistleblowers, Garrett O'Boyle and Judge Janine Piro
coming up straight ahead this Friday,
