it's not an insult. it's merely a tan comparison. love george hamilton. jennifer from edwards, colorado. trump's hotels have to mark the bills as loans. very good. kevin from saint augustine, florida. beautiful place. kirby should just identify as a black woman. white house problem solved. also have to be homosexual. not that i don't know he's already a homosexual. i don't know if he is straight or gay. doesn't matter. as long as he is qualified. cindy from colorado. if kirby transfers will they call it transitioning? jimmy from louisiana. i asked siri what do women want and it hasn't stopped talking for nine days. they are just testing us. always keep that in mind. and always keep this in mind. i am watters and this is my world. welcome to "hannity". we start friday night with a fox

news alert. the u.s. supreme court will decide whether donald trump can be kept off the (202)020-2024 ballot in colorado with argument starting on february 8th. the supreme court has now agreed to consider what is a very important appeal and constitutional issue. that is whether or not president trump's name will remain on the ballot until they render a decision. also tonight a big update from the biden family business as hunter may soon be held in contempt of congress. we have an update on that. the one and only dr. cornell west will join us with more of his defense which i think is indefensible of the former harvard president claudine gay. a hannity shootout tonight. tonight we begin in valley forge, pennsylvania. nearly 250 years ago during a bitterly cold and wet winter, george washington stationed the continental army on this rural plateau just outside of

philadelphia. the defensible position it gave washington's exhausted troops time to rest and recover, recoup and retrain for what was the long war ahead. tomorrow, president joe biden was sent to give a big speech near the very sight in valley forge. but not to commemorate washington or the heroes in the continental army who won america's fight for independence. no, and said biden plan to commemorate, that's right, the capitol riots on january 6th, 2021. due to possible snow in the forecast the speech was moved up and took place just a few hours ago. remember slick conditions can be fatal for a president as frail and weak as joe biden. as i have been saying, he is one fall away and the democrats be may very well be forced to pick a new nominee for 2024. the content of today's venomous speech remained the same.

to sum it up as i told you you will hear this all election season long. according to biden, those who want to make america great again. you want america to be great again. you are a threat to democracy. only joe biden who doesn't know what day it is can save us from ourselves. take a look. >> just one day before january 6th, a day forever seared in our memory because it was on that day that we nearly lost america. lost it all. today we are here to answer the most important of questions. is democracy still america's sacred cause? this is not rhetorical, academic or hypothetical. democracy is still america's sacred cause is the most question of our time. it's what the 2024 election is all about. the choice is clear. donald trump's campaign is about

him, not america, not you. donald trump's campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. because of donald trump's lies. these lies brought on mob to washington. he promised it would be wild and it was. he told the crowd to fight like hell. >> he forgot the words peacefully patriotically march to the capitol so your voices will be heard. how convenient. also noticeably missing from those remarks any mention of the economy or inflation or national security or violent crime or the fentanyl crisis. in a blistering response former president trump told foxnews, quote, "joe biden is the worst president in the history of the united states. he is incompetent, crooked and in many respects he is benedict arnold. he is destroying our country like no one else has done before. meanwhile we have heard the same

divisive speech from biden before. get ready and buckle up as i said tuesday on my first show back for the new year. he will do this over and over and over again throughout the 2024 campaign. in fact, it's one of the only things democrats will want to talk about in the lead up to the election. here is their plan. watchword, notice it, observe it and embrace this. you know what they are going to do. they will focus on trump, trump, trump. january 6, generally six, january 6. by the way, without any context that should be relevant. without mention of the 2020 rients that they referred to as mostly peaceful. they will demagogue abortion and whenever possible they will dust off the usual playbook that the democratic party has. republicans, racist, misogynist, homophobic, xena phobic, trance phobic, the gop wants dirty air and dirty water. they want some prominent

republican to push her grandpa and grandma off a cliff. in contrast, here is what they won't talk about and it's a long list. they are not going to talk about the failure of joe biden's border crisis. they will not talk about the drug crisis. they are not going to talk about joe biden's inflation. they are not going to talk about the horrible educational system because of the democratic party on unholy alliance with teachers unions. they will not talk about affordable housing, bidenomics. they've been talking about it for a year. guess what? only 34% of americans actually think the economy is even decent. they won't talk about law and order and safety and security. they don't want to talk about international affairs. they don't want to talk about the war in ukraine and europe trip they don't want to talk about the war in the middle east and gaza. they don't want to call terrorism terrorism and the terror attacks against our troops. they don't want to talk about the failure of the new green deal socialism. and get this, even life

expectancy has gone down under joe biden. joe biden pretty much has failed at everything. are you better off than you were four years ago? of course they don't want to talk about accomplishments. because i can't think of any, can you? in fact you probably won't see or here a whole lot from biden in the coming months. the media will aid and abet him hiding in the basement of the white house wants again. it appears he is headed back to the basement and joe is frankly not up to the rigors of the job. nevermind the campaign. here is biden's recent schedule according to the our nz research. on december 22nd he spent a few minutes at a children's hospital in washington, d.c. about nine minutes. then he left for vacation at camp david. he remained on vacation until the 26th and then the very next day he left for another vacation. this one in the u.s. virgin islands. as evidenced by his horrific sunburn, biden baked in the caribbean heat for the next seven days during a relaxing

stay in st. croix. then he returned to d.c. on the night of january second. the next two days he appeared to do absolutely, positively nothing. that brings us to today's big event. a speech about how his political opponents are evil. in theory, biden has two very difficult jobs. one is commander-in-chief and another on the campaign trail. it certainly appears with anybody with eyes to see that biden is doing neither of those jobs and yet he wants you, the american people, to rubberstamp a second term. here with the reaction to all this big news especially out of the supreme court is the host of tomi lahren peerless. fox news contributor leo terrel. leo, i will start with you tonight. you have the legal expertise. you are a lawyer. to me, the supreme court had no choice here. they had to take this case. if there is real justice,

remember, nobody was even charged with insurrection, let alone found guilty of any insurrection. democrats want to throw people off the ticket left, right and sideways. i can't imagine anything other than a you minimus 9-0 supreme court opinion on this in trump's favor. what do you see? >> i hope it's a 9-0 vote. i can tell you right now trump is going to be on the ballot in all 50 states. the supreme court took this case and they set a very quick hearing in february. why? they want to get the message out to colorado and maine that donald trump will be placed on the ballot like anyone else. this was the most anti- democratic move by democratic operatives portraying themselves as supreme court justices. the supreme court had no choice because you have other democratic secretaries of states and politicians trying to kick donald trump off the ballot why?

because they do not want the voters, the american people to select the next president. this is joe biden's attempt to try to keep donald trump off the ballot. in summary, the supreme court will hear this case and i expect a very, very quick ruling. after that hearing in february. 3 i do too. i would hope it would be 9-0. it would be sad if it is not. under no circumstances do i see a loss. it's even on the state level. you saw what happened this week in north carolina. they voted to keep any other democratic candidate running for president off the primary ticket in north carolina. so the people that claim they have a monopoly on the love for democracy don't seem too in love with democracy. >> no. this makes me very grateful for 2016 and donald trump's victory as it pertained to the supreme court. elections have consequences.

thank goodness donald trump won that election. i expect him to win in 2024 and expect them to be on the ballot in all 50 states. even joe biden talking repeatedly about democracy being on the ballot while he is aiding and abetting leftist operatives to keep his opponents off the ballot. but beyond that we want to talk about democracy and the american way on the ballots. you are allowing an invasion at the southern border. you are using our country to enrich your family through foreign business dealings allowing your son to profit off of this country our national security and foreign policy. we want to talk about democracy being on the ballot. joe biden himself is the one that is the biggest threat to democracy in our lifetime. but of course the fact that tomorrow is january 6th gives the left in the liberal media a chance to wants again talk about their favorite topic which is what they call the insurrection. they much rather talk about that than the failing economy the open border, the rampant crime in all those other points you

brought up in your opening monologue. it's much easier to talk about january 6th when you have literally nothing else. >> here with more reaction is author of deception the great covid cover up. kentucky senator rand paul. speaking of covid, anthony fauci will be back on capitol hill next week. this will get interesting. senator, great to have you back. let's get your reaction to the breaking news tonight. to me, the supreme court had to take this case. it's too critical and too important. how ironic that a president and a party that claims a monopoly on the term democracy is everything but democratic. >> without question the supreme court has to hear it. i hear it's going to be almost a month until the hearing and perhaps longer to the ruling. i'm concerned that that is too long. needs to be an emergency injunction to shut down any states that are wanting to do this and say the decision will be in three or four weeks.

you can see lining these up because they are frivolous. they are so likely to lose on the merits that we will shut them down with an injunction. the reason for that is every day that it appears as if donald trump might not be on the ballot. if that goes on for three or four weeks that affects the minds of the voters as they prepare to vote. the accusation alone ask people think maybe he is guilty of something. you think it wasn't planned that they use the words insurrection for two years? we had a riot were some people this behave violently and some people should have been punished on january 6. there was a bunch of people milling around her probably 80% were milling around being curious. one young man walked in and never said a word to anybody ever was in the capitol for a minute and a half and he gets taken and thrown down to the floor in an airport arrested and accused of a crime. we know this was a ploy from the very beginning. why didn't they call it a right? we will use the 14th amendment. we have this plan and will call it insurrection.

they so overplayed the hands. january 6th was not the civil war. nobody believes that the more video we have seen of some of these people, the shaman walking around saying can i go in that room? people showing him around and policeman saying please don't go in there. you will get in trouble. the more we see this was not some sort of violent riot from the most part. it was not an insurrection. the more the people say the democrats are crazy to say they can think they can win an election on this. then they want to add to it. we will not have trump on the ballot. they want to add to it. >> in 2020 in the summer of the mostly peaceful riots that took place, 574 with a couple dozen dead americans and thousands and injured cops. they were pelted with bricks, rocks, molotov cocktails. a ton of evidence that nobody ever looked at. you could have arrested every person involved. maybe you can call that insurrection.

then you go to january 6th. why didn't they want to talk to the capitol police chief or follow-up nbc news report that there was actionable intelligence that they didn't act on? why is it that murial bowser rejected in riding the use of the guard? why didn't they listen to the capitol police chief? why didn't they do something to prevent anything like this from ever happening again? we can't have another january 6th. they were too focused on just bludgeoning trump and not looking for a solution to prevent it from ever happening again. >> i think you know everything you need to know. what you know is that the footage you saw on january 6th played on other networks and by the house committee, the joke of a committee was done by a hollywood producer. they went through thousands of hours and selected out the worst images. they didn't show any sort of images that countered the

narrative. they set up this narrative and began using the word. i remember the first time i heard the word insurrection thinking that is bizarre. why would they use the word insurrection? until the whole thing gets tied together neatly with the 14th amendment. it has to be an insurrection because those are the words in the 14th amendment. the laughable nature of comparing january 6th to the civil war and the demeaning nature. we had a candidate ask about the civil war. to compare a riot where there were no guns and no loss of life from the rioters killing anybody to compare that to the civil war were 600,000 people died to end slavery. at least half of them wanting to end slavery. that is just crazy to think that is somehow going to be equated. the civil war and the riot of january sixth. >> rand paul, happy new year and thanks for being with us. when we come back the blue state exit is is continuing at an accelerated pace. it shouldn't surprise anyone. wait until you hear the latest

lunacy out of california. we will check in with sarah huckabee sanders. her state is flourishing. . ♪ ♪

this is a fox news update. i am kevin corke in washington. the northeast is bracing for a major winter storm this weekend. and developing norâc™easter is on the way affecting up to 35 million people from georgia up to maine. heavy rain on the state's while several inches of snow and ice and heavy winds are likely as the storm moves up the east coast on saturday. upstate new york, northern pennsylvania and new england all expected to bear the brunt of the storm. meantime a third batch of highly anticipated documents related to

jeffrey epstein were released on friday. the latest round of documents former epstein employee invoking her amendment rights 42 times when asked among other questions if she had been on an aircraft was former president bill clinton. she refused to answer. i am kevin corke. back tomorrow "hannity". the blue state exodus that continues according to a new census data. florida gained a whopping we hundred 16000 people last year while california lost over 300,000 residents to other states. its total population declined by 75000. in the 2023 u-haul state growth index california was number 50 out of 50 for a second year in rope. is it any surprise high taxes, high energy cost, high housing costs, homelessness, crime out of control, burdensome regulation.

california made it even harder to own a gun and protect yourself even though for example they have twice the crime rate of the state like florida. stores are required to have gingell neutral toys. that's a new law. and of course california now has taxpayers forced to cover all medical bills for illegal immigrants. that's a great benefit of being a sanctuary state. meanwhile the biggest gainer on the u-haul index this year was the state of arkansas that jumped a whopping 26 spots on the list thanks to what? big tax cuts, a high quality of life and one of the best governors in the country. she's had one of the best years. sarah huckabee sanders joins us now. that's a huge jump for you. congratulations. >> thank you. it's an exciting time to be in arkansas. unfortunately for californians gavin newsom is following the joe biden model. every single thing he touches he seems to screw up, which is bad

for california but great for states like arkansas where we are cutting taxes, improving education, fighting crime. because we are taking those types of steps we are seeing a massive influx of new people to our state. we like to tell people we are open for business. we are glad you are here. welcome to arkansas. don't forget why you left california in the first place. >> that should be a law. i don't know how you can bet people for that. my admonition of people is if you are going to pack up and move. if i was shocked this week there was a lot of coverage that i moved to florida. i didn't expect that. the reality is its everything. it's not that hard. people want low taxes. they want law and order. they want safe communities. they want good schools and they want to be left alone for the most part. do we really need gender-neutral toy aisles mandated by the government? why are they making it harder at a time win violent crime is just

going out of control? why are they making it harder to own a gun in california? why are they making california taxpayers foot the bill for illegal immigrants that did not respect our laws, our sovereignty or our borders. why would you reward that behavior? >> it really is unbelievable. i think it shows just how out of touch the democrat party and people like gavin newsom are. i think a great litmus test for people when they are moving into other states, we asked them if they are watching sean hannity. if they are not they are probably coming for the wrong reasons. that may be the new questionnaire we ask. if you want to move from florida and make that a stomping ground we will take you into arkansas too. >> let me ask you this. you cut annual taxes your first year as governor $250 million. you cut corporate taxes by $58 million. okay. people might say that must have

resulted in a reduction of revenue. but now you went up 26 spots in terms of people moving into your state. people are attracted to arkansas and ways they have never been before. you might be outperforming your dad very quickly here. i'm sure he is very jealous. in all seriousness, were you able to make up the difference for those massive tax cuts? >> you know, our economy has never been stronger. we are booming in every sense of the word. i think we are on track to continue cutting taxes here in the state of arkansas. there is nobody more excited about my record as governor than my dad. he is very happy to be the second-best governor in the state of arkansas history. as an arkansas a resident he would like me to keep cutting taxes. thanks we are doing here are obviously working. we are excited about the success we have here and we will continue keeping our foot on the gas.

i think 2024 will be an even better year for arkansas than 2023. >> it really isn't that complicated. if you keep it to the basics. keep taxes low eliminate burdensome regulations. if you have good schools, you have law and order and embrace the simple things. it seems like that is attracting a lot of people. this is now a real phenomenon. people are abandoning blue states in droves. they are moving to states like yours in droves. i don't see it stopping anytime soon. it's a very divided country. how does this end up in your view? >> i think states like arkansas and other red states across the country continue to excel and do well. this bodes well for the election coming up in november. i think president trump is on track. i think there is such a great contrast to what is happening in blue states led by democrat governors. you look at blue cities led by

democrat mayors in contrast with what is happening in red states and red cities. those are the one succeeding. those are the ones doing well. people are taking notice. they are moving into states like arkansas. i think that is a great set up for november 2024 for republicans. >> great first year. great to see you sarah huckabee sanders. when we come back, dr. cornell west rushed to claudine gay's defense following her resignation. he will join us. a hannity shootout straight ahead.

as we have been covering harvard president claudine gay resigned this week amidst serious allegations of anti-semitism, multiple allegations of plagiarism. take a look at your screen.

here is an example of alleged plagiarism discovered by the harvard crimson. here is yet another example uncovered by the washington free beacon. these are just a few of the close to 50 total allegations of plagiarism made against the harvard president. that is president gay. many on the left are insisting that claudine gay was forced to resign for no reason and was the victim of racist attacks including my next guest, dr. cornell west, who tweeted after gay resigned, quote, "how sad but predictable that the same figures and forces enabling the ethnic cleansing and genocidal attacks on palestinians in gaza have been pushing out the first black woman president of harvard? this racism against both palestinians and black people is undeniable and despicable. i have experienced similar attacks from the same forces in academia and too many of my

colleagues remaining silent. when big money dictates, university policy and raw power dictates foreign policy, the moral bankruptcy of american education and democracy looms large. but we shall remain strong in our fight for truth, justice and love. my friend, former friend. i don't know if we are friends anymore. dr. cornell west. he always call me brother hannity. i know you teach divinity. dr. west, really? this is really beneath you if you don't mind me being very blunt. for you to go to the race card and say that dr. gay was pushed out because of racism. that is not why she was pushed out. you know the code of conduct as well as anybody at harvard. you almost got tenure at harvard. you understand it well. you know that if similar comments about the elimination or genocide of any, quote,

"identity group, african-americans, people in the lgbtq plus community. if any of these comments that were made against the jewish people were made against other groups, you would not be saying that is racism. she had a moment where she could have stood out and strongly condemned it and not supported it and not said it depends on the context. she would still be president today. why did you sink to this low and crime? >> i didn't sing to that level, brother. let me tell you exactly what i said and i hope you understand. >> i have it in front of me. >> i know but i know sister gave eric she doesn't have an anti-semitic bone-in her body. she didn't speak strong enough. that was a weak response at the congressional committee. but that doesn't mean she is anti-semitic. it doesn't mean she ought to rezone. you know and i know there has

been attempts to promote pressures on university university with big-money donors. dictating various conditions under which they will give. there has been attempts to reshape universities. you and i know there is orthodoxies in the university. i am against all orthodox is. no doubt about that. but the very notion that you think it was about plagiarism, that is window dressing. lawrence tried to play it plagiarize from peter j abrams more than she did and he remained a prize professor at harvard law. doris kearns plagiarized. she doesn't get this kind of vicious treatments. when she says in herne called the end a zillion times. racial enemy, death threats and people coming at her with a white supremacist attacking and bombarding. that's what she said. you think it has nothing to do with the race? come on! >> you have known me a long

time. i condemn anybody that ever said anything racist about her are to her are threatened her. that cannot exist. you are hearing that directly from me. but what you are saying here. >> you criticize the people who were trashing her. >> no, no. you said it was racism that resulted in her being removed. also, if you believe in rigorous academic standards, there are up to 50 allegations of plagiarizing. if a student of yours plagiarized something, i would imagine they would probably get an f. i would imagine they might even be brought up for disciplinary action, maybe even kicked out of school. but the reason that she should have been disciplined here, and i don't call for firings, is because her answer was pathetic.

from the river to the sea that should be unacceptable and you should be leading that charge, not blaming the people that were angered by her remarks. >> i stand against any genocide. i stand against the genocide if you're irish brothers and sisters. i stand against the genocide of black people and jews. i also stand against the genocide of palestinians. it's no accident that some of the same people who were behind pushing her out summers himself, a whole host of blooming others who have bends and against affirmative action. they won't say a word about the genocide against palestinians. you tell me they are concerned about genocide. have you said a word about the genocide of the palestinians, brother? >> i will tell you right now. had the elected group leaders in gaza not committed the act of

murder and terror against 1400 israelis, which would be the equivalent of 40000 americans. let me tell you something. if anyone killed 40000 americans in a day i would want to fight and win the war. they started that fight. they are the ones that killed innocent people as human shield. they had their headquarters under a hospital. >> 10000 children and two months. you come from an irish people. >> what do you want? what do you expect israel to do? >> let's be honest about it. >> israel was a victim of terror. >> they need to end the occupation. you and the siege and end the occupation. >> it is not an occupation. israel has not occupied gaza. they haven't been in there for many years. [ crosstalk ]

>> you are living in cuckoo land. >> cuckoo land is where you live. >> come on! cuckoo land. no occupation? >> where did the money, hang on, where did the money for the terror tunnels come from? [ crosstalk ] >> it's hard to proceed. >> where did the money for the tunnels of terror, where did that come from? where did the electricity come from? that came from america. that came from israel to better the life and the people of gaza. but hamas, the terrorist group that has sworn the destruction of israel used that money, built their command centers under hospitals. they filed the missiles from schools and hospitals and used all the people in gaza as human shields. they committed acts of terror. they started a war. i do not defend hamas. hamas commits crimes against

people. i am asking you to tell the truth. if people cut off water and electricity and food and you say there is no occupation. it people can see there is no occupation. you don't want to listen to the truth, my brother. you don't want to listen to the truth. >> you are factually inaccurate. i will ask you the last question. tonight you are as wrong as two left shoes. >> harry truman use two bombs. one at hiroshima and one that nagasaki. let me ask you, is that the right decision? >> those were war crimes, my brother. i am consistent. we need to sit down and have a long discussion of what an occupation is. you come from an occupied people and you ought to be shame ashamed that you can't point out what occupation when other people are occupied. >> you are better then using the race card. dr. gay was guilty of not only

giving the wrong answer. she was giving aid and comfort-- [ crosstalk ] >> that is her life. come on, brother. >> i condemn anybody that did that. you know me. >> i want to hear the condemnation. i just want to hear it, my brother. there is something good in you. i'm trying to get it out. >> she had an opportunity. she had an opportunity to condemn those and speak out against those that were responsible for murdering innocent people and she equivocated. >> that doesn't mean she's not anti- somatic and anti-semitism is not running large at harvard. any anti-semitism is not running wild. >> if she is that week she has no business running harvard.

but i do support your tenure at harvard. how is that? >> larry summers was as weak as the kool-aid. he ran harvard for seven years. believe me. he never published a book. he never published one book. >> you are better than what you're saying. >> you are better than this. i am presenting the truth to you that you don't want to listen to. you are still praying for me. i stand in the truth. we are praying for each other. >> she was not fired for racism. that's the truth. we appreciate you being with us. when we come back straight ahead, republicans considering holding hunter in contempt of congress. we will break it down with judge jeanine pirro straight ahead.

zero experience hunter biden is back in the spite light once again. house republicans announced today they will consider a resolution next week to hold him in contempt of congress saying they plan to question him as part of the ongoing impeachment inquiry to president biden but he quote patently defied two subpoenas. according to a bombshell report of former burisma lawyer has now retroactively registered as a foreign agent for the company. what does that mean for hunter? here with reaction is the host of jeffrey's book of names. amazing. available now on fox nation. the one and only my dear friend judge jeanine pirro. great to have you back. >> happy new year. thank you so much for having me. >> it's kind of simple to me. they did not hold steve bannon in contempt.

they held peter navarro in contempt. i thought we had equal justice and equal application of our laws. i would assume the democrats that voted to hold been in and navarro in contempt will hold hunter in contempt, right? wrong. >> you know what? i believe in the criminal justice system and gave my life to it. but the more i see this, the more i become so disillusioned. they are repairing a resolution for congress to hold hunter biden in contempt. not only is he in contempt because he defied a congressional subpoena, but he thumbed his nose at congress and the american people when he actually went out and had a media event and basically said my father didn't do anything and then took no questions. he said i want to do this in the open. i don't want to do it behind closed doors. you don't get the opportunity to tell congress how they should or shouldn't interview you. the bottom line is if there is any justice in this country he will be held in contempt the way been in and navarro have been

held in contempt. and now we hear that is sugar brother kevin morris has given him money. they want to do a documentary on his life. we see him as the great father that he is but for the child and the woman that he doesn't like. what a great painter and great worker he is. this is all about pr and hiding from the truth. >> democrats now are trying to claim that while donald trump owned a hotel in washington, d.c. and people from countries like china, saudi arabia, qatar or whatever actually went to the hotel. c, donald trump got paid by foreign governments and nikki against the clause. the only problem is there is a big difference between joe biden going against obama administration policy after taking a call from hunter and two burisma executives that desperately needed d.c. help because they wanted the investigator in ukraine fired.

that's kind of a big difference that he leverage the billion dollars. as a result of his official actions, hunter continued to get paid for sitting on that board with no experience at a time when he was addicted to pretty hard drugs. any comparison in your mind? >> there is absolutely no comparison. donald trump wasn't involved in the business wants he became president. the bottom line is he had properties and was entitled to have someone else monitor those properties and make money from those properties. okay? now let's talk about hunter biden. hunter biden was supposed to register under the foreign agents registration act. anyone who represents a foreign country interest in the united states is supposed to register. in fact this lawyer named beretta ends up retroactively registering as a foreign agent because he as a lawyer represented the president of burisma at exactly the same time

that hunter did. the fact that hunter didn't register as a foreign agent and this guy registered retroactively, i can show you another example of the inconsistent justice. paul manafort tried to do the same thing. he said let me register retroactively and they wouldn't let him and he ended up going to jail. the truth is that hunter biden not only was representing a foreign interest in the united states, he called his father as soon as the owner or the head of burisma called. he said dad we've got to get the prosecutor off this case are not going to be able to make any money being on the board. three days later joe biden goes over and leverages our tax dollars. that was a billion dollars of our money to get the prosecutor off. together, they end up making sure that the biden family gets all the money that they need. and you want to call that corruption, it's a violation.

hunter biden is going to be arraigned on i believe february 11th on nine counts in los angeles related to tax charges but not foreign agent registration act. you know why? that will connect joe biden and they don't want to look at joe biden. they allowed the 2014 and 15 years to pass the statute of limitations because that is when hunter biden says me and my dad are watching and we want $10 million. this is a sad commentary on justice. today joe biden gets out there and talks about democracy on the ballot. it is laughable, sean burke. judge, happy new year. great to see you and thanks for joining us. coming up, you will not believe the new report about how the homeless population in portland is actually causing waist born illness. wow. we will explain after this. ♪ ♪

coast-to-coast. take portland, for example, where a highly infectious illness that spreads through fecal matter is now running rampant throughout the city. cases have skyrocketed, up 131% since 2021 in portland. the outbreak is mostly impacting the homeless community but county health officials, they have issued warnings to the general public due to how contagious this illness really is. anyway, here with reaction, clay travis, we're also seeing a lot of instances of diseases we were not having to struggle with prior to this 8 1/2 million influx of illegal immigrants. oh, hannity is saying they are sick? no, i'm saying they have different medical treatments available to them, and unfortunately, for them, they don't have the great sophisticated medical system we have. >> let me just say this. i watched the opening of your show. it was great talking about the valley forge speech the

president gave. this is emblematic of why joe biden can only focus on january 6 and abortion, because everything else, i mean, you know it, sean, you travel all over the country, portland, san francisco, seattle, we've got people watching us right now in all three of those cities, those are three of the most beautiful cities anywhere in the world and left wing policies have destroyed quality of life there. you don't even feel comfortable walking down the street in any of those places. heck, they tell you to leave your car unlocked now. you already know it's going to get robbed in san francisco and portland and in seattle. you just don't want to get your window broken out. just let them take whatever they want. this is what biden policies have created, and it's why he's trying to hide the ball, why he's trying to distract by focusing on january 6. look, the border was better. crime was better. the overall cost of goods was far better. we didn't have war in the middle east.

we didn't have war in europe. joe biden, everything he touches, to tie in with this, turns to crap. everything turns to crap that joe biden is involved in. donald trump isn't perfect but there are a lot of people listening to us in seattle, portland, and san francisco saying i don't know why my city had to go to hell because joe biden ended up president and we went left wing insanity. >> sean: unfortunately that's all the time we have. thank you for being with us and making this show possible. set your dvr so you never miss an episode of hannity. thank you for great first week at my new permanent home, free state of florida. in the meantime let not your heart be troubled this friday night. gutfeld is standing by to put a smile on your face. have a great weekend.
