The Sean Hannity ShowIs there a silver lining with the legal battles on President Trump? One might be that President Biden is alone on the campaign trail which, you think would be bad, but with the incoherent babbling, it just might be a good thing!
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, Happy Friday, and thanks to all of you for being.
One of us.
Here's our toll free telephone number this Friday. It's eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if you want to be a part of the program. Very bizarre happening is outside of the courtroom where this you know Trump which hunt trial is unfolding as a man and apparently has set himself on fire outside the courtroom. Yeah, it's online. I don't think any network's going to show it. Has any network shown it so far? I've only had Fox on, Linda. Did you see anyone else actually showing it?
By the whole one's really showing it that people are definitely reporting on it. It's pretty gruesome from what I understand. And the person was streaming and.
I've seen the video. There were a couple of stations that had it and then then cut away as soon as they knew what was going on.
Understandably, it's all right, that's how it worked up and how and hey, a good.
Thing is social media doesn't care about any of that. And if you want to see something terrible and horrifying, yeah.
Go there, that's true.
Let's go to where we were last night. I frankly, I've known BB for thirty years, Linda. I kept telling everybody it's not a matter of whether or not he's going to respond, it's how he's going to respond and when he's going to respond. I think there was a head fake, because you know, I kept getting back channel sort of phony intel that they might strike have to pass over. But I think that was a head fake to keep everybody off balanced. I don't think Washington knew about it till it was probably a minute from being underway because they didn't trust the Biden administration, nor should they have trusted them. But what is so amazing about, you know, what has been unfolding in the last week in the Middle East, in this conflict with Israel and Iran, is just how spectacularly not only the Iranians have failed, but how spectacularly strong the Israeli military is, with or without Joe Biden's support. I mean, I mean, the Israelis got deep, deep inside of Iranian territory.
Now, Iran is a very big.
Country with a lot of land mess and there's been a lot of military experts, analysts discussing over the years. You know how difficult of military operation would be to take out Iranian nuclear sites because they're spread all throughout the country and they're veried deep into the ground. I think what we learned last night is the Israelis were able to penetrate any air defense system that they might have in Israel, and they literally got I'm sure on purpose, they landed bombs right next to one of the nuclear sites, and fairly close to Tehran as well, which is in the north, which is a long way away. And they did it, and they hit him hard, and they hit him in numerous locations simultaneously, all throughout the country. And unlike the Iranians firing their missiles into Israel, the Israelis did not miss I mean with precision accuracy. They hit every target that they wanted to hit. Now, there are winners and there are losers here. The biggest loser of all is Joe Biden. And he's a loser for a lot of reasons. First of all, nobody respects him, nobody listens to him. What was he telling Iran before they fired those missiles on Saturday night? It was asked, what message do you have for the Iranians? Don't don't okay? They did. I mean they don't, but you do. They did. You can make a bumper sticker out of there somewhere. And so he's the biggest loser. The Iranians didn't listen to him. And what has he been telling the Israelis since Saturday night? Don't retaliate, don't retaliate, don't retaliate, don't retaliate. Bibi Netanyah, who is not going to in the while he's in the middle of a war of the survival of the state of Israel. He's not taking marching orders from Joe Biden or anybody for that matter.
And not only did he hit Aran, he hit them hard.
And what's amazing about this is nobody listens to or really cares about what the supposed leader of the free world thinks or is advising or chastising or whatever he's trying to do to influence what their decision making is going to be.
Nobody cares what Joe Biden thinks.
And the saddest part of all of this, and I think this will have political reverberations in the end, is he has literally, we've learned now surrendered any on terrorism or any ability to morally speak out against terrorists, and sadly, he has in the process been emboldening radical Islamic terrorists. In the process, I mean every single time that Joe Biden has been chastising Israel to have a ceasefire, how they need to fight the war, how they have to be more precise and don't go to Rafa or as he calls it, haifa, because he doesn't know the difference everything that he has been saying, nobody has been listening to. Now, if he had moral clarity, if he had an understanding of the real danger that is radical Islamic terrorism, and boy, how quickly this country can forget after nine to eleven oh one, then all he really had to do here was support Israel and their right to win their war on terrorists, their war against people that slaughtered twelve hundred innocent Israelis on the seventh of October. That's all Joe Biden really needed to do. Nobody is asking for and nobody is offering, and nobody wants American boots on the ground. The Israelis don't need American boots on the ground. The only thing they really could use is moral support in the war on terrorism, and they could use probably and they're willing to pay for them weaponry so that they can rearm themselves faster, so that they can compete with not only a war in the south against Hamas and Gaza, but his Bolah at Elebanon in the north, and now a three front war if this, if this conflict continues, which I don't think is going to continue.
I think the Iranians got.
Hit so hard and were so shocked by the Israeli military's ability to penetrate so deep into their country in so many different locations. I don't think they dare ever fire another missile from Iran into Israel in the near future, meaning the next number of years, because it didn't work out well for them, and every indication is they're just outright denying and propagandizing their own people to act as though it didn't happen, and none of the Israeli attacks landed when every darn one of them did. I mean, it's an amazing contrast when you see that Israel was able to repel ninety nine percent of the rockets that were fired on Saturday night, and in the case of Iran, they were unable to stop any of the Israeli attacks going deep into Iranian territory. But what we are learning here, what the world is witnessing, is a very weak, pathetic United States president who's out there, you know, telling stories about Uncle Bosey and cannibalism and mumbling and bumbling and stumbling his way through Pennsylvania. With all the tape I've been playing on radio on TV this week, I mean, it's been a horrific week for Joe Biden. You can barely understand a thing that this guy says. And I said, and I kind of was making the point, maybe Donald Trump being stuck in a courtroom, being threatened with jail, if he's not there every day, maybe it ends up being a net plus for him. Because the more Joe Biden goes out and the more people see him, and the more they realize what a cognitive mess he is, the more unlikely it's gonna be that they vote for this guy anyway. So what Israel did was was huge. You want to talk about winners and losers, The biggest loser is Joe. The next biggest loser would be the Islamic Republic of Iran. They failed in their attack against Israel, and Israel penetrated deep into their territory and succeeded in their attacks. The biggest winner Israel. Israel again showing every country in the world how tough, how badass their military is, and that if you dare mess with them, you're probably gonna lose, and lose quickly. I don't think Iran's gonna hit him again. I think they're too afraid. I'll get into the evidence. Tehran has been downplaying these rarely air strikes, with the explosions echoing over one Iranian city after another, never mind Iraq and Syria also being hit last night, and what sources are describing this attack by Israel, you know, Tehran, the muthers, they just completely downplayed it and indicated they had no plans for retaliation. No moss, no moss, no mouth. They don't want any retaliation. I mean, the Israeli air strike literally targeted the area right near Iran's nuclear mountain. You know, there had been military experts telling us for years that that's impenetrable, that it would take a military exercise of a magnitude we can't even imagine to get to these nuclear sites. Well, the Israelis proved last night that that's not the case. Because at first it looked like those air strikes last night. We're targeting one of Iran's major nuclear weapon sites. No, that was the message from the Israelis that they have the military capability to do it, and if you push us again, we will do it next time. That's what that message was. And here's what's really sad is we now know that Joe Biden cares more about his political ambition that is as blind as a bat, than he does about taking the morals stand, the rights stand, and having the moral clarity to stand up against radical Islamic terrorists that slaughter innocent men, women and children, chop the heads off a little babies, rape women, kidnap Israelis, kidnap Americans. And this guy is telling Israel back off. No, No, no, that's too far. We've had enough. Oh we need to cease fire. No, they need to win the war. We should be supporting their full and complete victory in their war on terrorism.
If the United.
States hit as hard as Israel got hit on October seventh, that would have been the equivalent of forty thousand dead Americans in a day. If some country came in and started telling us to back off and have a ceasefire. What do you think we would want our government to do. Tell them to pound sand and go out and find the people responsible and destroy them. The only thing that is understood Middle Eastern language generally speaking, and again generally they understand strength. The only thing that the Iranian Mullahs understand is strength. Israel showed strength. Joe Biden with all the billions of dollars, waiving sanctions, you know, turning a blind eye towards the sale of their oil, even buying their oil, and allowing them to accumulate more money to get rich so they can foment more.
Terror around the world.
Is the number one state sponsor of terror, allowing the Iraqis to give them ten billion, offering six billion that they offered in exchanged as a ransom for hostages. All of that Joe Biden and Obama Biden appeasement hasn't bought them a thing.
It has.
It just is exposed Joe Biden as weak, and Tehran and China and Russia and North Korea none of them care what Joe Biden thinks. One of the reasons there's such instability in the world is we don't have a strong president and there are really great parallels when you look at what happened in nineteen eighty in the election with Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. Remember, we had hostages, American hostages held in Tehran, four hundred and forty four days America held hostage. This is Nightlin un Ten Koppel, and this is Nightline day four hundred and forty three. Ronald Reagan becomes president and the minute is being sworn in. Those hostages are released because they had contempt for the weakness of Jimmy Carter, another appeaser in chief. Well, you see a lot of things, a lot of similarities. The economy under Carter was absolute garbage. The economy under Biden is garbage. You see Iran now acting with impunity, not giving a rip with the United States, or Joe Biden has to say in Israel then left defend for themselves and go it alone, and showing how strength overcomes any any terrorism, whatever form it may come in. I mean, it was textbook and this is Joe Neville, Chamberlain, Biden, and bb Winston Churchill Netanyahu. It's it's basic, it's fundamental. These are principles that don't change. Weakness incurs aggression. Peace through strength works, and you saw a kick ass military operation last night that was extraordinarily effective, more than what military experts had been saying for years that they thought would be that anybody would be capable of. Congratulations to the Israelis. Good for the eight hundred nine four one, Shawn, And what an embarrassment for the United States. This president is an embarrassment to the free world.
This is what the world looks.
Like when you have a week appeasing president that abdicates America's role on the world stage to be the leader of the free world. And if you have moral principles and clarity, it's not that hard to speak out against radical Islamic terrorists that are raping, slaughtering innocent people. That should be, as we call it, a no brainer.
Job jobs.
Joe Biden can't spell it and he can't keep them for the American people. Check out the Sean Hannity jobs for him today.
Now, Hannity's on coast to.
Coast twenty five to the top of the hour. Have a Friday eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. Look, we all know the left, radical leftists Joe Biden Democrats, the extremists that they are, they would love to tax you to the brink. They want you under the thumb of the irs. They want to controlled digital dollars so they know every penny you spend. That's why there are thousands of hardworking, patriotic Americans that have been opting out of the system simply by diversifying their savings with precious metals like gold and silver. And in tough times, well people go to gold and silver, and gold and silver have been hitting record high after record high after record high recently. And I've been ever since I've been able to save money, I've taken a portion of my savings and always put it into gold and silver. I keep doing it today. Gold Co is the company that I go to. Seven times ink, five thousand winner. They have placed over two and a half billion dollars in gold and silver. They'll walk you through the process. If you want to educate yourself, they'll help you with all the information that you would ever want need available And right now they're offering up to ten thousand dollars in bonus silver, but only while supplies last. Call our friends at gold Co eight five five eight one five gold and learn how to get started today. Tell him I sent you, and you'll qualify for the ten thousand and bonus silver. But that's on a first come, first served basis. That's eight five five eight one five gold. Eight five five eight one five gold. I just had an order sent in not that long ago. Learning a little more about this guy that set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial. Not exactly sure how anybody would ever think that that is an effective means of protesting, but you know, it takes all types, right anyway. This was unfolding in a barricaded park just across the street from the courthouse about one point thirty eastern today, and it shows him in a seated position, completely engulfed in flames, and then his black body twitching on the ground as people trying to rush over with fire extinguishers. The man, according to the New York Post, identified as a thirty seven year old. I could give you his name, is no point. The man walked into the park alone, took off his jacket, poured gas over his head before lighting himself up. Only seconds before setting himself on fire, he tossed a stack of colorful pamphlets in the air flyers left of the scene linked to a sub stack page with a heading, I have set myself on fire outside the Trump trial. Obviously premeditated and a rambling somewhat incoherent. I was taking a look at it. In the Break two six hundred and forty eight word manifesto, the guy who identified himself as an investigative researcher said that he did this as an extreme act of protest over a totalitarian con and impending apocalyptic fascist world coup. I heard this clattering, and it was in these papers that he had flung up and clattered to the ground, according to a witness, not exactly the best form of protests. We would not recommend it. Why would anybody ever think that's effective. It's funny. Yesterday Biden did not have a good week on the campaign trail, even talking about Uncle Bozy and Uncle Bosey being eaten by cannibals, which didn't happen.
We'll get to that later.
But Joe Biden snarled at another reporter yesterday because the guy had the unmitigated gall to ask him why there's so many Trump yard signs in Pennsylvania and do you feel like you're in trouble. Here he was asked, well, you haven't been driving in the right places. Pal, Oh my gosh, it's so angry. Now, what's up with Joe? That happens to cranky people that seem to be in cognitive client It's a very common theme a new Biden campaign ad, though, and this speaks volumes about what the campaign knows that the American people are thinking. So they came out with an ad that makes the claim about Joe's mental strength and cognitive fitness, and frankly, it's the worst ad I think I've ever seen, but the fact that they felt that they had to run it again speaks volumes.
Listen, I love to tell a story about meeting President Biden, because when you meet him, this guy's as sharp.
As the night.
They have nothing else to attack because they can't attack the things that he's.
Doing that are so good for this country. Joe Biden gets things done. That's just who he is.
The political coverage fit looks some of the political players and some of the let me ask a rhetorical questions.
Yeah, that's sharp as a knife, I'll tell you. Wow, Okay, there's nothing else to attack. How about we attack the ten million plus unvetted Joe Biden illegal immigrants, especially the ones that are committing acts of murder, homicide, rape, drug trafficking, human trafficking.
We can start there.
We could start with Joe Biden and his radical leftist Democrats plan to defund, dismantle, reimagine police departments, no bail laws that they support. We can attack the economy, which is in a shambles and has been because of his Bidenomics policies. We can attack biden inflation on top of all of that. Really, there's nothing else, no we can attack at all, but Joe's uncle was eaten by cannibals anyway. And then Biden this week confusing the Israeli city of Haifa with Rafa, which is in Gaza, in another gaff and they the hits keep coming with this guy. If you can even discern what he's saying when he's mumbling and bumbling and stumbling, and if you compare and contrast Biden's boring appearance at a Pennsylvania gas station. Wherever Trump goes, he's met with nothing but a lot of love and enthusiasm. Anyway, the Biden administration has hit with this lawsuit. I told you about earlier in the week for the leading emails in a case that could have consequences for Trump. And uh, well, that's the news in Lake Wobegon about Biden. Not good news on the economy yet again. Oil prices up three percent on reports of this Israeli strike last night on Tehran. We have the national debt tracker showing that you, that meaning all of you listening to me now, are on the hook for now nearly thirty five trillion dollars and we are now going to pay one trillion dollars in debt payments annually before we pay one penny for any other government program, and that would include social seks, security, Medicare, national defense. That's how bad Biden's economy is. And the average long term mortgage rate has now climbed above seven percent, the highest level since last November. Why because there's no hope that the Fed is going to be able to cut interest rates. It's that simple. The headaches in the housing market aren't limited to home sales or rent increases, or the fact that office space is going for pennies on the dollar. Chicago Fed President, our own buddy, Austin Gouldsby says rising rents are currently the biggest stumbling block. We've got to get our friend Austin Beck on the program because he's wrong again. But that's another issue for another day. This bowing at the altar of the climate alarmist religious cult is costing US trillions of dollars, Josey. Illegal immigrants are costing US trillions of dollars. American City is now bearing in towns bearing the cost of all of this. Biden set to block millions of acres in Alaska from oil gas drilling is in the Earth Day action that he's going to take. I guess he could just import more oil from Iran, as he's been doing since March of twenty twenty one, which is pretty unbelievable in and of itself. Oh, by the way, one Biden illegal arrested for child rape in Massachusetts. In case you didn't hear about this, twenty year old Brazilian national illegally crossed the US border of Mexico with his parents in July of twenty one. December of twenty three, police Milford, Massachusetts issue a warrant for the Brazilian nation's arrest on child rape charges. What have I been saying every Democrat that wouldn't go along in the Senate with the trial and the impeachment of Alejandro Majorcis, whatever crimes are committed by Joe Biden's ten million plus illegal unvetted immigrants, whatever crimes are committed, or future acts of terrorism, they have blood on their hands. Have A Haitian migrant now accused of killing two roommates in New York was paroled into the US after booking an appointment on the controversial CBP one app That's where you bypass go. You collect two hundred dollars and you get flown directly from the country you're coming from, right into the US. Josh Hawley just a viscerated mayorcis over Lake and Riley's death, you know, in the damning indictment of his policies, because they had him in custody. You know, he's previously caught crossing the US border illegally released into the country. They didn't have enough space to detain him. Pretty unbelievable Democrats, even in sanctuary cities. Now Democrats are sorowering on illegal immigrants. You don't think this is going to have an impact on this election in one hundred and ninety nine days. I think you're mistaken. I think it'll have a pretty big one. We know a lot more about the Trump jurors. We'll get into that more with our legal panel at the top of the hour. Because there's a lot you can glean from it, but then there's a lot that you don't know. And the judge really gave very vague instructions yesterday. Well, of course you can report anything that's on the record in the courtroom, but please use your common sense.
What kind of guidance is that?
And now news organizations that most of them are pretty much printing what they know about the people that are on the jury that's on the record.
That the judge said you could.
Use using common sense would be you report the news and if you didn't want that on the record, he should keep it off the record and have a closed courtroom for that portion of the trial. Biden has remained silent as the FBI director is warning once again that the Chinese government hackers are preparing to launch a devastating cyber attack on American infrastructure. Well, why shouldn't they, You know, all of Joseph Peasemen of Iran has resulted in them firing more missiles and crossing a line that they'd never before because they always used their proxy fighters, and firing missiles directly from Iran into Israel. Thankfully they were able to stop ninety nine percent of them, Thankfully Israel without our help or support. Because Joe is scared of his radical base that is the new modern radical Democratic Party and him wanting votes in Michigan, He's not going to get any support from any.
Support that he gave.
The fact that he helped Israel shoot down some of the drones on Saturday night as infuriated a major portion of the base of this radicalized party. But China's not paid a price either. He's tried to buy off Iran, you know, turning a blind eye to the sanctions that prevented them from selling oil, giving a waiver on sanctions so the Iraqis could give the Mullas in Iran ten billion. He wanted to give them six billion in a ransom payment, which they can fly spy balloons all across the United States. Is no consequences. Intellectual property theft, no consequences, Unfair trade practices, no consequences, you know, challenging in international airspace. Are fighter jets, No consequences, International waterways challenging our navy, no consequences. We're seeing the Democratic parties Act Blue fundraising operation, according to the Washington Free Beacon, is contributing bail money for the thousands of pro Hamas protesters around the country. We'll have more on those arrested at Columbia University later in the program today. By the way, the poll numbers are absolute garbage for Joe Biden. I mean, even a new poll shows that Biden has the worst ratings ever, especially on key issues. We told you about the poll that came out the other day that people look back Almost fifty percent of those polled looked back fondly on the on the Trump administration. Only about twenty four percent say the same thing about Biden. Anyway, survey fifteen hundred voters show that Trump leads Biden forty two thirty seven. Former Democrat turned independent Robert F. Kennedy in third with fourteen percent in this. By the way, a new poll released by the Democracy Institute, sixty six percent say Biden has performed badly on the economy, Sixty seven percent give Biden a negative rating on foreign policy. Fifty six percent say they were better off when Trump was in the White House, and by a margin of fifty two to thirty seven, voters said Trump was the better president. Whoopsie Daisy. If you look at the Fox News poll numbers, they're not good either for Joe Biden. I mean, if you look just straight up Donald Trump, I believe, let's see, they polled Georgia and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. You know, but if you look at the numbers, they're pretty pretty devastating. You know, if the choice for president now Georgia shows Donald Trump up by six, Michigan it has Donald Trump up by three. Pennsylvania Wisconsin are pretty much dead heats. If you add Kennedy to the polling in the case of Wisconsin, well guess what, Donald Trump wins again. So I think that's going to have a pretty big impact in the end, and it's probably I think we're more conservatives. There are conservatives that are interested in Kennedy, and he is an interesting person, seems like a pretty independent thinker. But then when you dig deep into his background, this guy has been a radical democrat, a radical environmentalist, and it's gone on for decades, but it is what it is. He certainly at least knows what day of the week it is. He knows that today is Friday. That's a certain plus that Joe Biden doesn't have anyway, So the polls are What the polls are telling us about Trump's lead is that his base is far more significant and committed to voting for him than Biden's is for in his case, and we keep seeing in just about every poll demographically, what is the key part of the Democratic coalition or the base of the Democratic Party. Well, they've been leaving Biden and droves. Anyway, when we come back, we're going to get into the issue of the Trump trial. We'll take a look at the jurors that have now been selected. We'll get an update, We'll check in with former Attorney General with Arizona. Mark Burnovich and Greg Jarrett will join us later on. We'll have an update on Israel with Sarah Carter and others.
