Democrats' Accomplishment - October 21st, Hour 1

Published Oct 22, 2022, 12:16 AM

The Democrats have had two years in office and Sean goes over the list of accomplishments.... the list is definitely not very long!

All right, glad you with us, Thank you, Scott Shannon. Eighteen days to the all important mid term elections. I hope everybody is jazzed up, ready to go, excited to vote and do your part and help and save the country from further damage and destruction of all things Democrat. We're gonna be back out on the road three days next week. Our first data is in Arizona. Will be there on Monday, and we'll be doing a town hall in Arizona. Carry Lake will be there, Blake Masters will be there as always, we will have special guests as well, and then we'll tell you more about the other dates places that we're going next week as well. I think you'll be pretty happy with where we're headed, you know, Linda, So we should bring people behind the scenes. I'm just I'm looking at these races and what I'm realizing is every single Democrat, I don't care if it's a senatorial candidate or a gubernatorial candidate, they've all adopted the Biden basement bunker strategy. And of course the media mob, which is nothing but an extension of their Their press offices have done nothing to press these Democratic candidates on positions. I watched the debate with Marco Rubio and Valdemics and they must It was like four on one and they're they're hammering Marco Rubio on the issue of abortion, and meanwhile, sitting, you know, standing across the podium on the other side, is Valdemics and they're not demanding an answer to the question do you support any restrictions on abortion? And their answer it seems to be the same. It looks like it's been you know, this is what the talking point that has been sent around because they're all using the same line, and that is, we don't believe that the government should be in the birthing room. That should be the doctor and the woman. That's what they keep saying. Marco had a great line. He goes, well, the problem, Demmings is that you brought the government into the birthing room because you're asking the taxpayers to pay for that abortion. I mean, I thought that was a great line. Every Republican should do it. You know, this is an issue I said in the beginning, Democrats are going to run on January six hating Donald Trump, that they are going to run on the dab's decision that this is now backfiring on Democrats because almost every Democrat running for office supports no restrictions at all on abortion. Now, I know people very well that say that the pro choice. None of them like the idea of abortion. They don't think it's the best option, but they think, you know, they're kind of in the Bill Clinton legal and rare category. But they're also in the legal, rare, and early category. Most people don't know that about half of abortions fifty two percent, to be precise, are now done with a pill, and it's it's not a procedure because it is done early. I think if you do it within the first ten weeks, you can do it that way. That's my understanding. So anyway, they're not following the science here. I couldn't believe Stacy Abrahams comments about this. I mean, I was frankly shocked. You know, if you're worried about the high prose of inflation and gas, you know, well, do you have that cut Jacy home, Let's see if we can play that. And because it's the most radical thing I ever heard. After she denied the science, which is you can hear a heartbeat after six weeks. That's a scientific fact. Let me play the other comment. I guess we don't have it. You don't have it. I'm looking not yes or no one or the other. Just tell me something. Okay, you don't have it. When you have it, let me know, give me a thumbs up and we'll play it. But it's the most extreme comment I've ever heard from anybody. But this is the position. But the mob, the media, they don't press them Democrats on their radicalism of that position. I mean, think about it. We're talking now support late term abortions. That is infanticide because the child will live outside the womb anyway. So they're running on jan six, hate Trump. They're running on the Dabs decision, which, by the way, there's no enumerated right to abortion in the Constitution, which the Supreme Court rightly said in their decision. And thus the tenth Amendment of the Constitution kicks in, which is it then defers to the states to make their own laws, rules and regulations. And that's where most states. Abortion is not being outlawed in this country. And when they tell you that, they are just lying to you. And this has you know, become most people. I think I figured it out now. Democrats are saying, oh, we peak too early. They were wishing that after the DABS decision that that would have been the defining issue for most women. It's not what we're finding. Or you have the Lemmings and Rubio cut all right, m Demings, Yes, will you support a twenty four week ban because you didn't support a twenty week ban you didn't support to the time of bad bullet. But when it's that, that's the vague language they all give. And then they talk about the doctor and the family. Let me tell you who else is in that room, that abortion room. The government is in that room because she brought them in there. She wants the taxpayer to pay for that ation. That's government involvement, not just to pay for them all over the world. I mean, what a great line by Rubio. I thought that was amazing. Anyway, So we got eighteen days to go. Later in the program, we got a list. You got all these Democrats, all these election year conversions. I mean, for example, Kamala Harris put one thousand, nine hundred and fifty six people convicted them as San Francisco's DA. Now she's out there say nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed, John Fetterman, we could reduce our prison population by a third and not make anyone less. Hey if in twenty twenty, repeated it many many times, and now he said, just what a week or two ago. The idea that I want to release all these prisoners is just a lie, not true. By the way, there was an article that came out today. I saw this. I couldn't believe it. I think we got it on Philly dot com or I'm not sure exactly where. John Fetterman praised this guy Larry Kranzer's release and Krasner's release of Jamir Harris just days ago. Harris currently is on the run after being confirmed as the lead suspect of a murder that he committed in September of this year. Fetterman's now trying to cover his past comments by describing these individuals as Morgan Freeman. I mean, how stupid is this? When asked when first degree murderers should be let out, Betterman replied, it's really a very simple choice. I believe the perfect metaphors is the movie Shawshank Redemption. Would you want Morgan Freeman to die in prison or not? No, that's not what the question is. Twenty five times. This guy was this lone voice to release convicted murderers in Pennsylvania. This guy said he wants to release a third to half of people in prison in Pennsylvania. This is the guy that wants the moratorium on tracking in Pennsylvania, eighty one billion dollar industry in the Commonwealth. He's out of his mind. He wants taxpayers safe heroin injection sites paid for courtesy of the taxpayer. No restrictions on abortion. He wants to sue oil company CEOs and energy company CEOs. He wants You know, it's the most radical candidate. But I'm looking at these polls and you got to take them for what they're worth. Forty six, forty six in Pennsylvania, forty four forty four in Georgia. You've got Adam Laxult up by one in Nevada. You've got Blake Masters down by one in Arizona. I mean, I'm assuming every one of these races is tight. You got now General Bullduck is now within the margin of era. I think it's a one point race now in against Senator Hassan in New Hampshire. I mean, if you're in New Hampshire, name me one thing that Senator Hassan has ever done to make the life of people in New Hampshire better. I mean, General Bullduck, he will be a conservative. He's not part of this crazy climate alarmist cult and all these decisions, all these Democrats, there's you know, they're blaming Biden for all of the same policies that they all support. Forty one Here, tell me what they have done in their time in office that has made your life better, because there's not a single thing I can think of. Are you happy with the forty one year high of inflation? When Donald Trump left office? Inflation, the consumer price index, it was one point four scent nine consecutive months of forty one year high, over eight percent the consumer price index. You're feeling it in every store you go to, every store you shop at, You're paying more for every item you buy because of their policies that are failing. You see what's happened to the price of a gallon of gasoline. We're now worried that New England is going to have blackouts this winter and that people are not going to be able to heat their homes this winter. And I'm not making any of this up. This is all real. And if you look at the price of energy, it is going through the roof. Heating costs now are going to rise. Heating bills. If you heat your house with natural gas, you're gonna go up a minimum of twenty eight percent this year. If you heat your home with oil, you're gonna go up a minimum of twenty seven percent this year. Electricity costs already a fifteen percent, are going to go up another ten percent over the winter. It's only gonna get worse. And you already have suffered. If you have a retirement plan of four oh one K plan, if you have any money in the market, the average person has lost thirty four thousand dollars or twenty five or thirty percent of their retirement money. Now we see the housing market being impacted. I told you that would be the final indicator. I mean things are bad. US has what twenty five days worth a diesel fuel supply on hand. According to a zero headge, demand for diesel fuel is surging. Supplies remain at the lowest seasonal level for this time a year. Ever, according to the Energy Information Administration, the US now has only twenty five days a diesel supply. The lowest since two thousand and eight, Joe has been rating the strategic oil preserves. He inherited seven hundred million barrels of oil and we're now down to about half of that, a fifty year low, and he's doing it even further. He's doing it again now because the election is coming up, and because he got turned down by a ran Venezuela, Russia, Saudi Arabia OPEC plus. And not only did he get turned down, he got exposed as trying to collude with them to delay their announcement that they weren't going to give him the answer that he wanted, which was to increase production, and said that. They responded by saying, now we're going to decrease production by two million barrels a day. That means energy prices are going to go further. So Joe's answer is, all right, let me release the strategic petroleum reserves, even though it's bad for national security. Those reserves are there for an emergency. Democrats about to lose a mid term is not a national emergency for him. It is, but that's not what it was designed for. What are we going to do if we have a real emergency? What if they run out of natural gas. The problem is the supply. We had Governor Sanoo new On and we had General bulldock On who's running for Senate into New Hampshire. They're both saying the same thing. The supply that's necessary of natural gas to actually power the grid might not be sufficient enough to power it. On top of the increase and price that you're going to have, you know, usually whatever metric you have, you know they are ten times lower the level that they need to be at to guarantee that every person in New England is able to heat their home. This winner, this is a real clear president danger to them. You would think that, oh, well, we have more natural resources than all of these countries that we mentioned combined, that we would produce it domestically, and they're not. I don't know can all of you. Are you happy with way of the country is? Are you better off since Joe Biden has become your president and the radical socialist climate cultists have taken over. You're happy with the record high inflation, forty year high inflation. You're happy with two three times the amount for gallant of gasoline? Are you happy with our borders being wide open? The way they are are you happy with you know, defund dismantle no bail laws. How's that working out in your town and your city? Are you happy with woke education or would you rather go back to reading, writing, maths, science, history and computers. That's what the elections about. It's not complicated, it's not hard. I'm repeating myself, but that's what's at staken in eighteen days, and it's still only the first half of what we need to accomplish to turn the country around, because we got to win the next election also, but it would be easier if you elect these senators now make a big difference.

He's on right now, all right as we are Rolong eight hundred and nine four one Sean. If you want to be a part of the program, Um, well, I want to talk a little bit about Steve Bannon and what happened with him today. Um and put aside whether you were feelings about Steve bannens. Some people don't like Steve Batten. He's controversial, he's combative, he's iconoclastic. Um I have been like people like that. Uh, it's just my own personal taste. So anyway, he's he gets sentenced today four months in prison for contempt of Congress. And he was following his lawyer's advice on this. Now here's what he gets. He gets, So he gets four months of prison time in a fine um. How come Eric Holder, who was held in contempt to Congress? How come he was never charged? How come Lois Learner was never charged? How come janet Reno was ever charged? I mean Eric Holder, he was held in contempt. Lois Learner held in contempt divide a subpoena, refused to testify. Eric Holder refused to failed to turn over documents. Janet Reno defied a subpoena. Steve Mannon is now the first person to be charged for being in contempt of Congress since nineteen eighty three. And the last time that happened it was a Reagan EPA official by the name of Rita Lavelle who was acquitted at trial and not sentenced. Now the Biden dog doj sentences to jail time. They're giving more time than the FBI lawyer caught fabricating fys A court evidence. You just can't make any of this up, you know, This is what I mean. This is why it's important. These whistleblowers talked to grass Lee Johnson and Jim Jordan. Is why we've got to stop the politicizing the FBI, how it's been politicized and the weaponizing of our doj nity is on right now, all right, twenty five now until the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, you want to be a part of the program, and anyway if you're just joining us. So Steve Bannon earlier today was sentenced to four months four months in prison. Now prosecutors have been requesting what six months in prison. But you know, if you go back and you look and this is for contempt of Congress, you know, prominent figure. Maybe you agree with Steve Bannon, maybe you don't agree with Steve Bannon. That's not the point of this. I have been raising questions about whether this country is moving away from its constitutional order because our laws are directly the result of our constitution. It's the foundation of our legal system and the principle of equal justice under the law, equal application of our laws should matter to every American. This should transcend politics. Shouldn't be about red blue, Republican Democrat, conservative liberal in any way. But that's not the system that we're currently living in and I go back, and I'll just tell you again, if you look at past precedents as it relates to this very specific issue. You know, we now see that, you know the Attorney General Eric Holder, you know what happened when he was holding contempt of Congress. You know, all of this should scare the living daylights out of all of you, because if this can happen to Steve Bannon, this can happen to you, It can happen to any American, and it really should. So if you go back and Batton will now in this particular case, our two tiered justice system on display. So Battens sentenced to four months in prison. You might say four months is not a big deal, Hannity. I don't think anyone wants to give up their freedom for four months of their life anyway, after being convicted for contempt to Congress, for failing to comply with the subpoena, with this predetermined outcome January sixth. Committee. Now Bannon reacted to it earlier today, but he will remain free pending appeal. I'll get to that in a second. But it's just the latest greatest example that the Biden Department of Justice has been playing politics is now weaponizing justice in America and using the justice system to go after only Conservatives, only Republicans, only Donald Trump's supporters. There's one justice system for the Clintons, There's one justice system for the Bidens, and another for the rest of us. That's the way it's working out. How many Democrats have been held in contempt of Congress, just like Steve Bannon, that were never charged on One person was Eric Hole held in contempt he refused to turn over documents related to the Obama administration's gun running scandal at the time Fast and Furious, Or what about disgraced IRS official Lois Learner twenty fifteen held in contempt she defied a subpoena related to the Obama IRS tea party targeting scandal. Or back in nineteen ninety eight, Clinton Attorney General Janet Reno defied a Congressional subpoena never charged. In fact, Bannon is the first person to be charged and prosecuted with contempt of Congress since nineteen eighty three, and that person or reagant Administration EPA worker, was found not guilty, was acquitted. But there's one rule for Democrats, one rule for the rest of us. Greg Jarard wrote a great piece analyzing this and even pointed out, and I think this is important that the judge, even the judge, recognized that Bannon's conviction is likely going to get tossed out, and the judge took a pretty extraordinary step of issuing a stay of sentence pending appeal. When Bannon was subpoenaed by the January sixth Committee, President Trump's lawyer sent him a letter saying that the President is invoking executive privilege, therefore directing him not to testify. Now, you can make all the legal arguments you want, but you have to come to a legal decision before deciding if something is applicable or not. Now, in other words, some people would argue, all right, well, he's not part of the administration anymore, he'd been gone for a long period of times, that therefore executive privilege might not hold up, and now it might not have held up in court. I don't know, but they never did it that way. But anyway, so that was the issue. It's Donald Trump that holds privilege, it's not Bannon. It's Trump's privilege. He has executive privilege. He gets to exercise executive privilege, which, by the way, one of the reasons why this show vote that they had their grand crescendo of the January sixth committee. They know darn well he's never going to show up before that committee because of executive privilege. But anyway, under law, Bannon can't waive it or violate it if you're going to follow the law. So on advice of his own counsel, Bannon declined to testify. And, by the way, which was the correct advice. Now, the only other option they might have had, just to make life easier, he probably could have gone in. If somebody goes in, if you call before Congress, if you're subpoenaed, you could plead the fifth all day, walk out of there. They can't hold you in contempt. He could have done that. That was an option, but that was not the advice of his counsel. Now, the judge in this case, Greg Jarrett, did a great analysis of this applied the wrong standard on the issue of willful defiance of the subpoena. He relied on an outdated sixty one year old DC Circle Court case nineteen sixty one, based on a Supreme Court decision that was later overturned. So, in other words, the correct standard, as the Supreme Court since stated, is that prosecutors have got a show that the defendant knew his actions were unlawful. If a defendant believes his response to the subpoena is lawful, then they cannot be convicted. So this past precedent here. Now Bannon relied on the advice of his attorney that he could not testify because the president invoked his executive privilege, his right to invoke, not Bannon's. Then Bannon thought he was acting lawfully, and as long as he relied on the advice and good faith of his own lawyers, by law, he did not violate it and should never have been convicted. Now it's kind of insane these prosecutors claimed that executive privilege didn't apply, or that Biden waived his predecessor's privilege, because that is well established. Greg Jarrett, we should put it up on Hannity dot Com wrote a great peace on this. But it's important for all presidents to be able to seek outside advice instead of always relying on insiders who tend to tell him what he or she wants to hear. So it's pretty well established that privilege covers both employees of an administration and non employees alike. And moreover, it's subsequent. If a subsequent president can waive his predecessor's privilege, then it renders privilege meaningless. There is no law that says that Biden has any authority to waive someone else's executive privilege. None. As a matter of fact, the opposite is true. Only the president who invokes the privilege holds the privilege. I'm not trying to get too deep into the weeds here, I'm just trying to get you to understand. So there's never been anyone else that was charged since nineteen eighty three. Eric Holder held in contempt failing to turn over documents, lowest learner held in contempt, never charge defying a subpoena, refusing to testify, Janet Reno defying a subpoena. But Steve Bannon the first person charge with contempt to Congress since nineteen eighty three. Now, liberals are happy, Democrats are happy. You know what they're not thinking is you're now setting up precedents that might apply to you sooner than later. So buckle up, be careful what you wish for. So the ap reports it this way. Bannon, longtime ally former a former President Trump's sentence Friday to four months behind bars after defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating January sixth at the US Capitol. The judge allowed Bannon a stay free pending appeal. Imposed a fine of six thousand, five hundred dollars as part of the sentence. Bannon convicted in July at two counts contempt of Congress for refusing to sit for a deposition and the other four refusing to provide documents. Quote. In my view, mister Bannon has not taken responsibility for his actions. According to the judge before you imposed the sentence, others must be deterred from committing similar crimes. Now, when you compare this jail sentence for refusing to cooperate with a committee that we all know was one sided. We all know that Nancy Pelosi kicked Jim Jordan and Jim Banks off the committee. We all know that everybody on the committee had voted to impeach Donald Trump. We all know that they had a predetermined outcome. We all know that if they really cared about preventing something like January sixth from ever happening again, which should have been their goal, which would have been a noble goal. They would have brought in the Capitol police chief that requested the National Guards six times. They would have brought in the people that told me on camera, four of them that, in fact, days before Donald Trump authorized calling up the troops. They would have brought in Muriel Bowser, who in writing rejected calling up troops. They would have brought in Nancy Pelosi, in charge of the House Security, and asked her about the issue. They would have brought in General Millie was in the room. According to Biden's own Inspector General in the Department of Defense said he recalled such discussions about protecting the Capitol. So, you know, lying to any court would be a serious crime. But if that's the case, we now know, based on the recent trial of Dancenko, that in fact FBI agents flew over the Pond to meet with Christopher Steele in Great Britain, and they made an offer of one million dollars in early October twenty sixteen if Christopher Steele could in fact corroborate the dirty Russian dossier that Hillary Clinton paid for by funneling money through a law firm to an op research firm into Christopher Steele's pocket. And then he gets this information from Igor Danchenko, who apparently got it from a friend of Hillary's by the name of Charles Noland and was leaked to the media and the lead up to the election in twenty sixteen. And then we find out that Christopher Stile couldn't get his million dollars because he couldn't corroborate the dirty dossier. And the FBI did that in early October twenty sixteen. They didn't even apply for the first FISA warrant until late October twenty sixteen, and it was Deputy FBI Director McCabe that said without the dirty dossier, they the court never would have granted the FISA application. Says in the top of a FISA warrant verified well their source, Christopher Stile couldn't verify it. If he did, he would have gotten a million dollars. And then when they finally met dan Chenko in January of twenty seventeen, he confirmed he was the main source for Christopher Stile. He said none of this was true, this was all bar talk. The FBI reaction to that put Danchenko on the payroll. That's equal justice under the law anyway. But I digress. We have the midterms coming up. US existing home sales tumbled to a ten year low as mortgage rates now skyrocket. We are now at six point nine percent for a thirty year fixed rate mortgage, and we expect another seventy five basis point increase in the next week week and a half. US heating worries mount amid growing costs. You're going to see a minimum of twenty five to thirty five percent increase whether you heat your home in natural gas, oil, or electricity. This winner Doctor Doom. This guy, we've had him on the program before. No Orio Robini. They call him Doctor Doom. He says brace for a crash, and he's talking about an economic crash that combines the worst of the financial crisis and the nineteen seventy style stagflation. He said market should brace for a period of decline that echoes the crashes of the nineteen seventies and two thousand and eight. He predicts that central banks will whimp out from fighting inflation, fueling a financial crisis. He says it's going to get ugly, he said, the recession, and you will have a financial crisis. He said to Bloomberg, the global economy will experience a period of decline that combines the worst aspects of the two thousand and eight financial crisis and the nineteen seventies. They call him doctor Doom. He's often been right by the way. He said, it's going to get ugly, the recession, you'll have, the financial crisis, and he sees supply side shocks, including the coronavirus pandemic the ward Ukraine, as contributing factors to global stagflation, which he refers to as a combination of soaring prices and sluggish growth that would echo the economic pain in the nineteen seventies. Many of you don't remember this double digit inflation, twenty one and a half percent interest rates, I mean crazy numbers, you know, long lines for gasoline. I mean, what's going to happen? You know it's you know, the average family as of now, and he's saying the worst is yet to come. That's that is what is on the ballot in eighteen days. That's what you need to know. And just simply ask yourself. And when you talk to your friends this weekend, you're hanging out wherever you hang out whatever. Watching a football game. You think you're better off than you were two years ago before Joe Biden became president, and that's why the president is snapping it. Wise, nobody wants to be seen with him. The only idiot that wanted to be seen with him was John Fetterman, and it didn't go very well. When when Biden suggests that it was his wife that was going to be the Senator, Rick Scott actually thinks that Republicans have a path of fifty five Senate seats. I don't see that myself. I'm looking at fifty two fifty three macs if things go the right way. But when you have herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock forty four forty four oz and Fetterman tied at forty six, when you've got Adam Laxalt up by one of Blake Masters by one, you have to win all those races. Now you don't. They're not factoring in. Usually if that's the number eighteen days out of an election, late deciders are going to go to the challenger. Few research is saying Republicans lead by thirteen points among those that say the economy is their top issue. Lee Zelden now It is a neck and neck race in New York that is fascinating to me. Marco Rubio is now pulling away from Valdemmings. As Lieutenant Governor, John Fetterman was a wall for just about every key economic meeting. He only cared about releasing criminals. It seems like his obsession all right. One way to save money is to say bye bye to AT and T, Verizon and T Mobile and do what I did and make the switch to pure talk simple. It's easy, and the average family saving close to a thousand dollars a year for the exact same service. In other words, you use the same cell towers, the same five gen network. You look at your phone, you have the same number of coverage bars, you get to keep your phone on your phone number. That's real money in your pocket, especially in these inflationary and recessionary times. That money matters now more than ever. So you're gonna love the great coverage that you'll get. You're paying for the exact same towers, the exact same five gen network. Average family saving close to one thousand dollars a year, some people saving much more. It takes a few minutes of your time to make the switch. I'll pound two fifty on your cell phone, say the keywords save now. Pound two fifty on your cell phone, keywords save now, make the switch to Pure talk. All Right, when we come back, Devin Newness will join us and much more as we continue, Sean Hannity, all right, a lot of ground to cover. We'll check it with Devin Newness on the other side. We'll talk about the banning case, We'll talk about what we learned in the Denchenko trial. Much more, and later on, Joni, earnest than your calls on this Friday,
