>> welcome to this special edition of "hannity". >> i'm jason chaffetz in for sean. we hope you are all having a wonderful christmas season. but we begin with bad news in 2004. >> during her testimon iy to the 911 commission, condoleezza rice said quote, the terroristso were at war with us, but wrke nt yet at war with them. >> now, a dark chapter the of american history is repeating itself, thanks in part to presidentis repea jo >> every week there are morether and more attacks againstr tr our troops abroad. >> on christmas, three american s members were injur injured, one critically after a dronone cre attack in iraq.dei >> biden did order a strike t against a terrorist facility,e but so far, the response has been extremely limited. >> thereha have been more than 100 attacks against u.s. troops carried out by iranian proxies since the beginning of the war

in gaza. a conflict started by hamas's barbarica confli october 7th atk against israel and is nowcause ongoing because hamas refuses to agree to a permanent or cease fire. of course, none of the cease fire. >> now, people on the left seem bothered. in fact, the new yore theleft t published an op ed from a hamas terrorists. >> the mayor of gaza city. here now with reaction. >> the former director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe. pleasure >> director, thanks for joining us. i had the pleasure of serving with you in the united statewits congress, but thrilled to be chatting with yobuu about this because as the director of national intelligence, you saweo you saw the top level intelligence of thisf this couna >> what's your read on what's going on in the middle east nois w ? because, boy, we take 100 attacks and do the bare minimu m, to say the least. >> yeah. jason, by the biden administration's own

admission, they have failed to accomplish strategic determined deterrence that they promised. you remember when attacksd star that you just mentioned started in the aftermath of thtee octoba 7th attack in in gaza. the biden administration stood at the podium. john kirby, secretary of defense austin, they said we will respond in a mannerthespona and method of our choosing, but we promise you that we will deter these typesfuture of attacks from happening in the future. wiat that , they were at 20. now, as you said, jason, we're wellr 100 attacks. and jason, the attacksster you mentioned yesterday were fromday kataeb hezbollah.bu >> but the week before, they were from b the houthi rebels and of course, hamas didn't just kill 1400 jews. they killed 32 americans. at least on october 7thtook and took about a dozen american. so, you know, the biden administration is running out biden a r cells to get pushed around by in the middle east. and, of course, all of those groups groups that i just mentioned,

jason, they're all controlled by funded by iran. and what's so frustrating when you talk about, you know, the intelligence that i've seen is, you know, at the end of our administration, wer , the biden administration, peace in the middle east, we hearration p th, the abraham accords, and we handed them in iran that was bankrupt that was incapable of funding these type of terro w activities. >> you know, they were focused the egime survival alone and they didn't have money for the houthis, hamas and names that have now become householdw namebecomes for all the wrong rs in the biden administration, because they have failedstra to accomplish strategic deterrence against te againstour adversaries. >> well, the polling is is certainly gone sour for fore an joe biden. i don't see anybody really the united states is thrilleybod how he's handling this. >> and how do you what's your read on that? why is that? because it doesn't seem that anybody is happy with how the response respos are going. >> well, i think like a lot

of his foreign policy decisions, they've been schizophrenic. th, an, in this case he's expressed support for israel verbally, but thefor isrn he's paraded one official after another to meet with netanyahu and othet withr other israeli i officials to pressure them to preto end campaign against hs in a matter of weeks, something that our own intelligence tells us is impossible. this has got to continue has got destroy hamas. it's a campaign that's going to have to last for monthse ton and yet he's asking the israelis to do the impossible. so as a result the impsible., h. in a policy that is making no one happy. >> some people think thi he's supporting israel too much. some people think he's supporting hamas too muchej .t. and only a few people think he's getting it just right. and, you know, i think thi d i this iss, unfortunately, something that we've seen throughout the administration, it's not just here in the middle east. fi you tos.uld challengejason, i find a place on the globe where us national security interestshn have improved in the biden administration and whereai the national security interests of our enemies and adversaries

have waned . it's certainly not the middle east. it's not asia where china has pushed us around it i . it's not europe where putin has now invaded ukraine twice whil whit been in the white house. it's not in central and south america, where we're currently c what is commonly being referred to as the biden invasion of our southerno border. so everywhere america sees,e in they see failure from the bidena administration, from a foreign policy standpoin standpot and ge you know, biden-nomics and the domestic policy has been a disaster a di. but i would submit to you as the former director of national intelligencu as theer t that their foreign policy has been an even greater failureer. >> well, let's talk about that, because now we have secretary mayorkas, secretarsecretary, hed down to mexico to to to talk with the mexican government. >> i don't know what their message is. ment.ow what i the only policy i see at a joe biden and kamala harris is one of open borders and an invitation to come to countryap because nothing's going to happen to you if you come illegally. >>to illegall we'll give you a free n

ride, give you a date, give you gin we'll giveelse you a housing and everything else. >> that's what i see them doing. i don't knowthat i what in the d they're going to ask from the mexican governmentknow w? well, and, you know, lopez obrador, the president. , mexico,, he you know, he sees what's happening around the world. and the idea seeis hapth that hg to do what the biden administration asks withou thet the threat of imposg some cost on mexico, they can't sustain. it's just not going to happen. look, at the end of our lookedio, we had a secure border and we had mexico enforcind mexig their border bee we had the remain in mexico policy. >> jason, in our transition, welde told the biden administration, if you reverse b policy, you're going to create a crisis at the border. you're going to have these caravansborder. coming up. that's exactly, exactly what's happened. so they created crisis at the border and it's not going to go away unless they're willinaway g to impose costs on mexico like we did in the trump administration. but they haven't been willing to impose sanctions or costst bn

on any countries to get themy cn to do the things that the united states need to do for our own national security interesturity ins. ether >> that's right. whether it be in the middle east, in chinait it's downa lang to mexico, we speak a language that nobody is understanding because we don't stand up for ourselves. st.don't stand up fo r united states of america. >> we act like a second class citizen. that's tizen th just going to letybodyl everybody else roll right overin us. and i'm tired of it. and i think the american people are tired of it. eofand listen, i appreciate your perspective and the great role you play. the fo >> the former director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe, joining us tonightrm out of texas.joinin >> thank you for so much forg joining us. all right.ot, th >> whether biden realizes it or not, the world is at warus in crimea. >> ukraine just blew up a large russian warshiew up. >> as that conflict rages on with no end in sight. meanwhilno ende, israel is now battling iranian proxies on multiple fronts. >> other iran backed backed proxies are targeting cargo

ships all over the region. >> on saturday, terrorists on a ship off the indian coast with an unmanned aerial vehicl wite. n sc this as iranian scientists havei reportedly increasedncre the rae of uranium enrichment as they get closer to achievineving a nuclear bomb capability. meanwhile, in the pacific, chinboility.a continues to thren america's allies. >> while biden does nothinesg. t and get this, the administration tried co spyceal last february'sra balloon incursion. >> were they trying to save china from embarrassment? >> joining us now with reactioen ,former national security adviser for president trump. >> ambassador robert o'brien. ambassador, thank you so much thg us tonightn on "hannity". >> you know, we just went through this with john ratcliffe. hann with joratcliffe.. >> served arm and glove with him and hand glove with him there in the trump administration. >> but, you know, let'sn with china, because china is ona the march. they're not threatened by us. h. hreatenethey're not worried abon the united states might do

because they see biden doing nothing else nin around the word position. >> you're absolutely right.d >> and john ratcliffe was right in his analysis that he just gave you. t in hisbut the maxim of the pie is saying, keee p america safe.k it works. it's true. and weakness in foreign is provocative. when we're weak, our adversaries take advantagef us. >> and we're seeing that whether it's the houthis, the captive hezbollah or iran, hama s, it's the russianse and wh and now the chinese. and what's very is we just learned that xi jinping in his meeting with president biden in san francisco, which mean the one benefit from being in san francisco, cleaned up for a couple of days. so that was nice for the people of san francisco. they were able to go out and walk on the streets for a couple of days. >> but he told biden flat out, we're going to tak n francie taiwan and there's nothing you can do about it. verye not disturbing message and something that we're not responding to.s well, let's talk about iran, because if you go overtairan toe middle east, iran is they're behind hezbollah.

they're behindn hamas. >> they're behind the houthis. a lot of americans don't know the houthis are, but theyd be should be a feckless, you know a ,terrorist group that we could take care of in a moment's notice if we just ha ds al political will to take care of it. >> but it's all because of iran, correct ? outhi' it is. and look, the houthis wouldn't bb fire began at a ship. the hamas wouldn't have crossed the border into gaza from gaza i into israel. none of this would have happened without the iranians signing off. these are bought and paid for proxies, hezbollah captive, hezbollah, which is killing our and injuring our soldiers. >> and in iraq and syria. l forr >> this is all coming from iran and we're doing nothing about it. but -- but the mos concerning tg thing about iran and we're watching the missiles, the iranian missiles playe missilesden by as we speak right now on your screen, is their nuclear program. f ir >> and that's going to be if iran gets a nuclear weapon, we're going to reaan uclear wl trouble and we need to avoid that at any cost. >> well, that's the concern, right, is that the unitedthat t nations watchdog group has now wa what they wereheir

doing in the past, which was slowing down their enrichment, they've now sped it up.ther >> and there are a lote of people out there that believe that are momentat if not inches away of achieving a nuclear capability, which for the world safety and security. >>rld's sa i there cannot be ans worse than. ranian a iranian government with money and then resources to deliver a nuclear bomb. >>bo well, i can tell you that without going into the details, the iranians are very close to having a nuclear weapon d and they're very concerned to put it on a delivery system emto menace israel or our ships in the red sea or the persian gulf. >>a or the but think about this. if iran gets a nuclear weapon, what do you think the saudis a e are going to do, the saudis to spend $1,000,000,000 to buy phil mickelsond and jon rahmin and a golf league or spenduclear ten times that much to to buy a nuclear capability if ca rivals, iran have it. >> and what do you think egypt, the leader of the arab world oar which has been fighting iran since before either country was

muslim? bhe countrywhat do you think tg to do about it? we're going to have a nuclear arms racarms rof thee in the mie most dangerous part of their neighborhood in the world. >> that's very importantt on because instead of putting iran in a box like john ratcliffe talked about, jason, we had iran bankrupt. >> we the biden administration came in and said, if we just give them enough money, ific we have just buy and give them a hostage ransom. >> if we just turn a blind eyegi d eye to sanctionsto, if we jusa them get rich again, they'll be nice to us. they're not nice to usre, nottob that into us. they're not taking all that money, as you pointed out, to build a nuclearui program pr now, that's going to put israel in danger. the former president of irancou. said that israel's a one bomb country. what do you mean by that? at you mean byontrolknow we cans in israel with one bomb because israel is a smalel with sel cou you know, scores of miles widen in length. le so that potential danger and think about a futurede if t american president if there's a crisis in the middle east, we want to send a carrier grouphe w, the middle east, and we send a carrier group, that carrier group with five thousand sailors and pilots on itmi are going to be a danger of one

nuclear weapon from iran could wipe out an entire carrier battle group. >> they'll control the wholedeso area of the world to blackmail us, blackmail our allies, and potentially d y destroy and commit the ultimate against israel. that'smate very dangerous situation. >> and we're we're we're facilitating it with all the resources we're giving thetm . well, president biden and kamala harris better >> jll, prest together because not standing up for the united states of america, they're not protectingunca. the men and womn who are actually serving us with more than 100 attacks. >> these littl0 e pinpricks of a response are not getting the job done. >> you're not speaking the language that people would understand. >> not on the border, not arounde the world. e woul >> ambassador robert o'brien, thank you for joining us tonight on.reciat >> hannity do appreciate it. all right. get this. according to democrat, it's now ageism to criticize joe biden. we'll explain straight ahead. plus, new calls for biden to out of the race because mo corruption allegations. chairman james colmer will join us with more. and later,we will we'll show yw

merry christmas. thanks for joining us. i want you to know you are my se my second favorite house committee oversight te housecommittee chairman therr been. just so you get that off my chest. y the second best one ever. i wish you worked for for "the washington post" or somethiningtong. that'll never happen. but thanen.k you. one of the things that i just laugh about every time i see you here, the mainstream mediaie ,there's no evidence that joe biden has done anythin g wrong.rning >> but the money that's beenth flowing into the biden business and all those around him without a product, other than joe biden is absolutely stunning. >> when people ask you that question, how do you respond to the, how m? >> well, i think mostost am americans realize that somethinger stinks here. most americans realize that we provided bank statements as hard evidence statement that show the bidens have receivedshow well over $20 millf from our enemies around the world. on.

>> and they can't answer a simple question what did moy? n to receive the moneeceivt they also know that joe biden stated during the campaign he neveduring tnevt with any of these people who saved his family money and that se had a wal l between and the government and his family shady business schemes. >> we know now because of oure investigation that he said dozens and dozens in of emails in a pseudonym to many of these businessturn t associates. >> they won't turn those emails wher, as you knohose e-mw. >> that's part of the evidence c we're continuing to seekon this to receive through this impeachment inquiry. >> and we know that he communicatedhment iny an he , we person that he said he never met witht with, that send his fy millions and millions of dollars around the world. so the american people know somethinrican pew here.g stinksb >> and that's going to be a problem for joe biden. pre biden forward.disast >> not only arere his policies a disaster, but the american people think he's a crook. will, >> tell it, go through the list, if you will, just off the top of your headju othings t of documents and things that you're wanting to see that you haven't yet been able to get your hands on.roeker

>> well, first, right now, i think one of the most important amount cof the m of documentation that we need need. e-mails donym emails remember, no one knewa about these pseudonym emails until a few months agomonths. we found that joe biden wase nae using at least three fake names on government emails. >> what we didn't know until recently was that he was in fact using thos wase pseudono emails to communicate with not communijust his son, hunter bi, but also with his shady business associates. the politico in their ever never ending defense of joe biden, wrote a story when the white turned over 14 of these emails, which didn't evenf amount to half of 1% and said,ie oh, there's nothing here. these are junk email. but what wjunk e-mbut whate frot in california, several of those emails e that joe biden used,n s a pseudonym were used as evidence against hunter biden in his failure pay taxes.

>> so there's that is important evidence there. t we also need those depositions. there's certainly a reasonsition that hunter biden's not wanting to come in and answe is not r. s >> we have his bank statements and bank records don't lie. untr so we want to we want to deposee hunter biden. obviously, we want to depose all of the business associates, but we also need those pseudonym emails. >> and we also have questions for the national archived weesth countries were involved in the documents that joe invol biden mishandled? >> that's something that i think is very important to our investigation becausrtane we've identified, jason, a couple of emails that hunter sent to people in ukraine, for example, that we may be may have been classified documents that that joe biden mishandled that were in possibly garagejo of joe biden's house where his son was livinghouse wh. >> and finally, hunter

biden not showing up before the committee with the duly issued subpoena. how soon deletio soon do you think the house in o would actually move to hold him in contempt? i >> i hope it's as soon as we get back. i mean, i think most of mywill g colleagues will go home. they'll spend time with their family. they'll go to ballgames. they'll hopefully go tthey wgo y store. >> they'll hear from their constituents and the constituennd their t want to know what's going on here. >> they want to know, is ourt tu president for sale? >> has our president, vince, conspiring with our enemiepresis around the world for millions of dollars? >> that was ofs to his family. this isn't normal behavior. and the media can write no evidence, no evidence all day long. that's not going to changeg to the fact that there's a lot of evidence. there are a lot of questionst of here that this family has failed to answer. and the media, you know, thinks that they can attack me or jim jordan, and it's goingor jii to discredit this investigation. >> but poll after poll shows invesshows tha majority of amey are keeping up with this and they expect someone to investigate publit soc.

>> they know the fbi has failed to do their job. they know the irs ha jobs failed to do their job. >> and they know that the department of justice has failed to do their job. so the only entity that's left outy en there is thet house oversight committee. >> thank god the republicans wocommitd the n the majority. e. and we have subpoena power. we're using that subpoenng thaar in a disciplined and transparent manner to trt mt to get the truth to the american people about whether or not thihepeopleabout whs pred compromiseend. : chai chairman cobra, thanks for joining us on hannity. merry christmas and happrmfor jy new year. appreciate it. all right. yee of president biden's biggest challenges next year will be holding the support of young voterl be t >> they think he's too old, not liberal enough and not mentallye fit for the presidency. some even say he keeps the schedule of a relaxed retiree rate on cue, joe will soon head off to saint croix and the virgin islands, an endr of the year vacation. wince he's had a rigorous fe days at camp david.

>> yes, another vacation. s a >> climate czar john kerry has a new label for all of young critics. they're just age lists, s age th but it's not biden's age that's the problem. it's his. decllear cognitive decline. the washington examiner pu t together this look back at some of the worst momentst mome in 2023. >> have a look. we're still fillinntg a profounm loss for pandemic. as i mentionedic, over 100 peope dead. that's 100 empty chairs around the kitchen table. ble.the billion 300 million, trillion, trillion dollars bill. and by the with other movies and movies, she's earned and mova golden globe and a pre enemy, enemy. yoat's been primetime emmy. you could say even harder thanea getting a ticket to the renar ornce tour o recognition tour. she sar t in and was kind of wam

in brazil right now. >> and vladimir putibraziln wead by recent events. it's hard to tell, but he s hardclearly losing the war in. is losing the war at home. i said, i care and looked at mes like, why cancer? because no one thinks we can. that's why we can. and the cancer is right now. god save the queen man man. >> and here now with reaction, fox news contributor joe concha and pollster lee, thank you so much for joining us. >> all right, joe, there'sl read a lot of criticism out theret. of biden and he doesn't like it. he does not like it. he just tht thinks that it's being misreported along the way . >> isn't that amazing? right. and the president very easily,ay jason. merry christmas, by the way, to both of you. he could very easily call a press conference tomorrow if he so chose and take questionsdi from reporters for an extended period of time and make

his case if he has a problem with the press in terms of the way they're covering his administration and his presidency, then take questionas . donald trump. in his final year, jason, took s 35 solo press conferences. >>conferen he conducted 35 solos conferences. >> joe biden has had three soloo press conferences this entire year. >> i'm not vererences y good at, and i'm pretty sure that means that donal d trump had 12 timess confer the number of press conferences than joe biden has this year. when donald trump was exiting in 2020 and the criticism, quite frankly, has little to do with age, from my perspective, having written one of the few bookspectives on joe biden and e research that went into that. we have a commander in chiefs bn who has been a serial liar his entire life and has beenmajo wrong at every major foreign policy issue. his entiren adult life. don't take my word for it.s that's what former defense secretary during the obama-biden administration and the former robert gatesssue said about biden on every major

issue. >> and lee can attest to this because this is what she does. this president, this administration is, profoundlyof underwater in terms of approval propitanic proportions on inflation, on everything. when we talk about crime when wh we talk about the us southern border, which is an absolute hot messan absol and a dumpster fire with no end in sight, and now we're currentlyre fighting two proxy wars that are costing hundreds of billions of dollars. alsohundreds with no end in sigy so m on every major issue, he ij struggling. age but you could blame age, but this has been joe biden his entire idlifeen his in terms of failing upwards all the way to the presidency. >> jason. >> now, sadly, i think a big part this is the fact that his policies have been failing. >> i don't think he's ever defined what biden nomics actually is and he is upsideeren down, as joe said, on all these different issues. >> but from a younge r generation's perspective, they're getting their news from socialtive, the ge media. >> they're looking at it from a different lens than than maybe i amdifferen. bout joe

>> what's your read of how and they're thinking about joe biden an d they're viewingr joe biden after three plus after three years nothrew, that the amount of approval that he has lost among young has l people really staggering. and to see some of the polling that comes out now that saof thy that young people are for donald trump and joe biden is really overwhelming becausewh it was young people and minorities that really carried joe biden intoarried j the whitn and it's not going to happen again. you can't depend on it't. and i think if anything is going to that, joe biden really needshat joe to learn here is he cannot be dismissive of the polls. he's dismissive polls.e of peope saying that they feel liketo he's your old. 76% of americans think biden is too old. erican in ten americans feel like the economy has personally impacted ersonall in a negative way las in the last two years. he issue after issuetwo year immigration. he's underwater. there are so many different issues and ally diffsues all hen is the economy has never been better. he answers by sayingng and your reality is wrong and that is one i think that he's not

going to be able to overcomee to because one thing is for certain, americans want a presiden a presit who feels likewith they're in touch with how their what their situation is.e i mean, bill clinton very famously once said, i feel your paioun and it really itt a resonated. we want a president who's in touchesident with american people and many people, t hamore than 60% of americanstru right now say donald trump is more likely to addressis the tht concern them the most then joe biden. we've gon than t he's got the major issues it's got to deal with. he is so his policies are underwater and every measurmeasure.e. , >> so, joe, i think it's in part about joe biden's to negotiate, negotiate a teleprompter, stairs, bicycle tools and anything else. he's got a camera on him. i don't think he's abln'ee to negotiate those very basic things. >> and i think it's an embarrassmen ings.t. jason, this is the most protected, most homogenized, most hidden from the press ou president we have seen in our lifetimes. to my point around the numbetimr

solo press conferences that he has. hi and here's the thing, his handlers are petrified to putrs are him in any situatii outside of a teleprompter, outsidde e of any protected area where he has to actually extemporaneously and speak off the cuff. because you sely speak extempoee right now what happens when joe biden is not on script. >> and i don't know how any american i don't care if you're democrat orf you republican independent, can look at this and say that this is acceptable.

911 calls. >> here with reaction heormermer florida attorney general pam bondi and former u.s. attorney brad tolman. >> pam bondi, thank you bothpa for joining us on this christmas. so we had a wonderful once. pam, i got to ask you, at is former attorney general, you know, you have the right as, an american citizen to peacefully protest, but some of these protests just jus they become so unwieldy and so they become violent. >> become they become aggressi. >> they they break the lawances. in many instances. but but i don't see the type ofw enforcement that is to to actually quell these typesst. of things. again, you can protest, but when you turn aggressivebuth like this, it goes over a line. >> yeah jason it absolutelya li went over a line. >> these are riotersnethes, and looking at that video, i mean, it was horrible what was happening to the greatt men and women of the nypd. and, you know, ihefl auth

president trump had been in office, federal authorities would have been out there woeen out up and arrest these people. sadly, nypd,people they just don have the resources. >> i think a handful of arrests were made. but ana handfuwere my time somes a police officer wrongly or goespolice o after someone who't there singing christmas carols, they should be arrested.e pe these people wanted to beth haey wanted to cause a problemey . and, you know, the ones who have their faces completely covered inir faces, my opinion e the biggest cowards of all. most likely, the palestinianthes youth movement of these college kids who couldn't eventher articulate why they were out there. >> bret, this doesn't seem to be about persuasion. intimida this seems to be about intimidation. some would say it would even be a s form of terrorism itself, trying to go after people. >> and yet again, how do we, they the right balance here? >> they can protest. but what they've done, it just seems like it's so over

the line and it's not >> yt persuasion >> yeah. jason, it started a longon ago,. though. we we have created this mess . >> and when i say we lawd a enforcement and a lot of our large cities that allowed protests to become violent, the riots that occurred over the last few years in whicover did not come with swifswtt an and immediate and decisivee them action. if you if you give them in fact,in jason, in parts of this country, they have charged police officerthey havs who were trying to police out now,ontrol rioting. now, that's where we're at asata a country. what message are we then tha sending to those that thato that hate the united states who have issues with our policy, e israel or who have any reason to be angry and upset? we've givere y ann a license to go down and do these things, and it's the innocen t people that live in these areas that are now going to feel more and more hopelessmore and t

the law enforcement cannot messond when our political have sent the message that it's okay to act like this in this ay. country. >> yeah. >>d on that thought because you're right. >> you have police officersn and heaven help, those police officers have to deal with this and imagine what it's goingine h to be like on new year's eve.at but they're not up and they're not backed up by prosecutors. they will actually enforce the law. >> so there's no consequence to any of this t. >> there's not. and, you know, you referred . to swatting. that's when these people are falsely there are fraudulente using law enforcement officers as weapons. they're callinement officers ag that there's a gunman and a swpresentative'sre's a home. and so the swat teams are deployed. and that is sore deployed and r dangerous for the men and women in law enforcementmen . thei so they have to do everything in their power to catch these people. i thin catchk they need to tougn the laws on the swatting where they send out swattting wo teams

because it's so dangerous for law enforcement. citizens could get killed as a result of it. and that, you know, that's that's they feel empoweredthoseh because there are no consequences any more in this country law order is no more in this country. and i feel so sorry for ant men and women of law enforcement who on christmas day had to gayo out and dea with this. eene >> brad. h marjorie taylor greene. appened to hit's happened to her eight times now. and yet you're telling me the fbmei go in and go figure ot who in the world is doing this and go identify them and prosecute them and go after themthem? >> well, jason, you know decades ago, we d ou. >> you knotroublesw, tracking dn calls. >> we had to go through very archaic system of trying to identify who was calling when guess, what. >> we don't have that anymore. you can identify who's calling verys callly. quickly and you co without a lot of trouble.

call carshield now. call 800 8151458. welcome back to this special jan edition of "hannity". it's no secret: welcome biden's president biden's handling of the economy is extremely unpopular. bigges >> but according to joe, the biggest problem is how the media is coverin medg. k. >> take a look. about the economy, sir, outlktour outloo>> repor on the economy next year. >> all good. >>: all gok by report of the right way. a recent fox nation. a refox poll found that only 14% of americans think that biden's helpedbiden'cies have

them. joe biden's popularity continues to sins rity conk. he >> just in time for the 2024 election. noanwhile,2024 his vice president isn't doing his campaign any favors. >> eve >> watch this. every election cycle we talke, w about this is the most electiono of our lifetime. lawrence. this one is. lai have been fortunate and blessed during the course of being vice president, have many situations where itcome sbecomes clear to me that there are, you know, people of everyoe and gender, by the way, who seee something about being the firstd that lets them know they don't need to be limited by other people's limited understanding of who can do what.. >> ah, there we go. here now with reaction, rex business anchor david asma n and restoring america editor for the washington examineameri caleb mcgee, white the clarityou

that comes from our vice president really do appreciate it. >> david, you like you're reporting on this news of the economy every singlenks t day. >> joe biden just thinks it's, you know, in proper the way the national media has been covering it, because everything is going scause ev o well. >> yeah, he's trying to kill the messenger, but the message is very clear. and americans know it that biden nomicr s is really not only killing the economy, it's killing the american dream. t isi mean, personal income, who offiwhen you judge it by the time that biden took office, until today, personal income has been today. hit hard by inf it's way down. personal debdo t by the way, is way up. >> mortgage costs that reallym,e does define the american dream. the ability to buy a home has almost doubled. >> it's up 90% from the average monthlit i froy payment on a hoe is 1700 dollars. $1,700was 1700 dollars a month biden came into office. >> now it's $3,300 a month.

that is a 90% increase in mortgage, but it's the same if you buy buy a car on undera with some kind of credit or it you buy whether it's used or a new and credit debt, ifav you're unfortunate enough to have any credit card debt, you're paying 20 not as muchcrec as 29% for your credit card debt. and that's up to $1 trillion.hou that's how much americans own in credit card debt. chricans oi mean, it's just out of control and democrats and republicans know, it clearly i don't think that joe n biden has ever actually really defined for the americanhe people what biden-nomics is he talks about, well, if it's a good result, that' ts res by dynamics. but he's never really defined it as, best i can tell that he r more government, more spending. >> but other than thate , i mea, how would you define what biden nomics is? biden-nomics means the crippling of the working cripng and. l tees that is what it is. in summary, and i'll tell you what, even biden knows that his economic policies are a failure.

and you want to know how. i knowicies ar that because he t gave his own federal employees a 5.2% pay raise to make up for the fact that inflation is eating into their wallets as well. and think about what that means fo r a second.le that means that the people who have helped implement biden's tosaster economic policies are the only ones who actually get to benefit fro from it becae we, the american taxpayers, get to then pay their pay increases. that is biden-nomics in a nutshell. >> and david, one of the fastest growing sector sectors in the in the jobs s. bers are government job i mean i look at where the fastest growing sector is and it's justor i more government. >> that's that's not going to maks that ie this country better. >> you know, it's not only government, it's services that that involve the government iices tha to a ga extent, like health care, health care and education. thoslte are up as well. the but all of those require the government and what they wanwant tt to do.

this is the socialist ideal. they want to turn the private sectorn th into the government sector and they are doing it right now. it's a it's a frightening process. and of course, the green energy program, we haven' cours energyd about $1,000,000,000,000 in green energy spending. we've had a grea t year.k mark the stock market stock marketse0 up almost 20% in 2023. but the one sector that'ssect failing, you know what? that sector is green energy. if you are stupigreen d enough to invest in green energy, think that thinking that the bevernment was going the gov tot all, it can't because it's not working. so green is a failure.. it's just everything that the government touchesit is ju turn. opposite of gold. i don't want to say it on tv. i dot is like. >> so kelly and david talked about it. >> the trillion dollars that americans have taket n on in credit card and consumer debt, i meaner debt., that those numbs are hard to get away from because you're you're paying upwards becau of, as dav, said, 20% oftentimes trying 20 from under.

the all that massive spending. so i don't know how you turnso n the corner on that, but you've got to reduce the amount thd this that the government is spending. >> absolutely. and this is why biden is lashing ou lashit at the media, because he realizes that there's no amount of spin that can make up for expenn rey that americans are on the ground facing. we've mentioned the credit cardd debt. we've mentioned the high interest rates, the high mortgage rates. there was anotheates, thr pointm that came out this week that homelessness has hit a record higsh under the biden administration. americans across the board are sufferind the g except for s the upper class. it's the middle class that is. saring bearing the brunt of this. it's the lower class that is bearing the brunt of on itths. and those are the people that biden seems to have the least amountn seem of sympathy for.sea essentially what the biden onllm message is iics stop being poor >> well, i got to tell you, when you pour millions of people illegall pouy into thy country, they got to get housing. and if you don'to get hoing. thf that that's affecting the price of housing in this country t at big, big issue. >> david asman kaylie mcghee
