fani's lover boy should use some of the $600,000 from fani for a concealment holster. that was uncomfortable flashing the pistol prosecuting trump. james from new york. -- the book is not for you. dave from new york. do you sign your new book or make johnny do it. my wife would like to know? i sign. sign so many my hand is falling off. johnny, chicken scratch. he dots his is with a heart. dvr the show later tonight. i'm jesse waters, this is my world. >> hannity: welcome to han h "h"

more breaking news out of yemen. "despite media hyper ventilation it amounted to no more than a pin prick. five dead six injured and no houthi leaders targeted ." now the all important chipping channel in the red sea is more dangerous than ever. when are they going to confront iran? without iran the h houthis don't exist. for iran there are no consequences as per usual, whatsoever. as the new york post has pointed out biden's foreign policy of fear is a recipe for global disaster. why did joe allow the iranians to sell oil on the market.

why did he facilitate ten billion dollars to get into their hands. we have breaking developments out of yemen tonight. if you haven't noticed biden spent most of the week resting and recovering from a quick trip to south carolina. now do day back in action. good for joe. after mustering injury to meet with voters in pennsylvania. his focus was on once again, we thought it was dead, biden-nomics. he didn't have much to say. there is little to share on the economy. now turn to the president's adult son. zero percentage hunter asking for special treatment after failing to pay taxes on millions of dollars of income. money he reportedly acquired

selling access to the government through the biden brand. we need washington help. hunter is now determined to waste more time and resources at the tax payer's expense. he refused to comply with a legal binding subpoena. president trump's children kphraoeuled. not hunter. he believes he deserves special treatment. the big stunt, hunter showing up at his own contempt hearing with his own camera crew in tow. the press' son looking to make a clown show of a official proceeding for his own documentary hoping to make more money. now the president's entitled son is facing a real possibility of contempt charges hunter wants a do over and it demanding the house to issue a brand new

subpoena he can accept. his attorney has suggested possible terms for the subpoena. hunter is playing games with the peoples house to drag this out as long as possible. he has had no respect for the on going prosecution, no respect for the law, neither has his father, the big guy joe. he would think biden would want to clear their good name if they have one f they have done nothing wrong, have nothing to hide. they want to answer questions from members of congress. that wouldn't be a problem if he didn't do anything wrong. >> if his father didn't leverage billions of tax payers dollars to get a prosecutor saying his son wasn't paid millions at a time addicted to drugs. given the lies and obstruction from joe and hunter it's clear a contempt of congress charge is

the least of their worries there. is no guarantee hunter will comply with a house subpoena anyways. today the house professor, jonathan turley nailed it with a piece to law makers this is what he said. the response from hunter should be short and simple. toying with congress may have recreational and political appeal, but it has hrao*el costs. hunter maybe the press' son. he doesn't get a mulligan on contempt. on a joint statement it was said they w will allow hunter to comy with the original subpoena. in the meantime the house will proceed with the contempt resolution. for most americans there are no legal mull tkpwapbz. if you try to defraud the federal government for years and not pay taxes, guess what you don't get a do over when you get caught. if you lie on a gun application

and your gun ends up in a trashcan near a school, you don't get sympathy from a federal prosecutor. >> if your name is paul hanford and fail to register we now know the federal office and the fbi don't look the other way. why should it be different for hunter biden? why does get special treatment? why is he given so much special treatment? why did they allow the statute of limitations to expire on so many serious tax violations. why did the doj attempt to sweep all of hunter biden's crimes under the rug? remember the plan a was ton charge hunter. then the whistle blowers came out and they had no choice. they went to pwhrapb b. that was the sweetheart deal. that was blown up by a judge in delaware with the wherewithal to read the agreement and ask the

defense team, you have seen an agreement like this before? no, your honor. why are you handing this to me? this has resulted in a special council. the same guy that didn't want to charges hunter in the first place. the federal government is 0 so bias and corrupt it should make every american sick. this is what we talk about with the doj being weaponized and politicalized. as hunter biden faces felony charges skipping out on over a million dollars in taxes. his father bragged about making americans "pay their fare share." as of today the irs has collected over 500 million of unpaid taxes from 1600 millionaires this. is about the super wealthy needing to pay what they owe and twha the existing tax code calls

for just like hard working americans do. will he give that election tour to his son, hunter? he made millions no, experience, addicted to drawings. here our guest who broke the story today, john stallman. john, let's get your side on this and how it broke today. >> ya, lear are where the facts r right. clearly the stunt on wednesday didn't go well in democratic circles. they day flip flop today. a 180° turn about saying we will show up now this. is a legitimate impeachment hearing this. is what was said, we don't need to send a new subpoena. you have a lawful subpoena. we're hardened you're talk ing about cooperating. the status now has to be on hunter biden. he has to send a date and commitment to the date.

think congress will send a subpoena locking in to that and then hunter has to come in and testify and they will stop the contempt proceedings. until then they will proceed forward and keep maximum pressure on hunter biden. one thing we all have to consider. because hunter biden says will he show up, doesn't mean will he answer questions. he has two federal indictments, two federal charges. he may take the fifth amendment because he doesn't want to say things to use against him in the court of law. there has to be pressure and awareness this could be another stunt. we don't know the state of play. i can't get an answer from hunter biden's lawyers if he has fifth amendment issues to invoke this. will be a game of chicken. they will stand their ground until hundreder biden gives them the date.

the tone deafness is still there. joe biden talk ing about cracking down on tax cheats when the day before his son was in court for tax cheating. the disconnects couldn't be farther apart. the biden team is making big mistakes. >> hannity: now the trump kids went in, they went in multiple times if i recall correctly. they didn't ask for a new subpoena nowhere did their attorneys say, a far as i know, we would like to offer new suggested to the new subpoena. beyond bizarre, you're right. are there conditions? he will plead the fifth unless thank you change the subpoena or limit it to this line of questioning? is that what his attorney, abby lowes is trying to do? >> there is a game of chicken and negotiating going on. his lawyer is good but there is a tough hand to zeal with.

hunter biden has talked publicly and written a book on it. it's hard to say after that i only want to talk to congress about what i want. abby is a good card player but -- >> hannity: this is the important part. > >> yes. >> hannity: this isn't really about hunter. at the end of the day it's joe that lied to the american people as candidate and american president saying never talked to his son or anyone for that matter about foreign business dealings. according to devin archer he was on numerous calls with hunter and foreign business parters. it's the cafe trip with the former first lady of moscow. according to devin archer there was a real estate venture. really the one thing would i imagine this committee wants to get to is what joe mu, when he

knew it, how he participatepugh in it, debenefit from it, why did he whraoeu to the american people? he seems to be the guy i would think the committee wants on their list as well and issued a subpoena. will that happen? >> james came on my show and said the last person they will subpoena is joe biden. that's on the record as the end game tore the impeachment proceedings. the president should answer. he has mislead the american public for years. he facilitated a large foreign influence shakedown for his family meeting with these people, calling people, firing a prosecutor, changing the policy of the obama administration to do it. joe bide sent ultimate final witness in the skies. hunter biden has to get out of the way first well. will see if hunter biden is serious about cooperating after

the stunts. >> hannity: great work. another broken story. john, thank you for being with us. the constant embarrassment from his adult son and the fall out of their his policy failures and cognitive. nancy pelosi made a political statement about his rival. she said it's impossible for donald trump to be president again. no, it's not impossible. maybe she hasn't seen the resent polling. take a look. >> this is a neck and neck race. nobody is con if i did donald trump won't be the next president. >> i don't think nobody feels. think many of us know it's impossible for him to be the pwraez again. >> hannity: they didn't think it was possible the first time either. what did the former speaker mean? with reaction to all of this and

top stories, fox news co-host, fox news contributor and legal analyst. jason, let's tart with you. what i think is going on behind the scenes here. we know the contempt charges were brought in the case of steve bannon and peter navarro. we know jim jordan's judiciary committee is invest gating whether the doj has been weaponized and politicized. if they charge steve and peter but not hunter doesn't that basically prove the point in the investigation of judiciary in terms of a two-tiered justice system, politics and weaponization? >> yes, it would stkraoeufb home the point. look i was the chairman of the committee. i would university laterally issue subpoenas. you can have a conversation say

do you want me to issue the subpoena. i can have it done with the stroke of the pen or appear. hunter doesn't need the subpoena to appear. he just needs to tell them a date and show up. >> if he's not going to do that yes issue a subpoena. think they're doing a fabulous job of this. they should continue and move forward in the house. go forward with contempt. this punk called hunter biden has lead his whole 53 years of his life on his daddy's coat tails. america is sick of it. he has not learned the lesson to comply with things. look at the abandonment of his own child there and what they went through there. don't give us lecture tpwr-z jill biden, dr. jill biden talk about the house picking on him afplt bide by the rules and you will be fine. >> hannity: she claimed they were being cruel. talk ing about cruelty you hit

the nail on the head mentions joe and jill buy en didn't recognize their own grand daughter for over four years and were shamed into it by the new york times, and shows like this. greg, let me talk to you from a legal stand point. maybe clever on abby lowes part to say issue a new subpoena. here are my issues with the new subpoena. they don't need a new subpoena. i imagine he will plead the fifth. i don't know if that will serve him well in the end. >> i agree with you. it's a pretense and a charade. hunter biden is pretending to day through his lawyer, i will answer questions now. he won't do that. will he take the fifth. he was always going to take the fifth. there is too much incriminating evidence. he's in criminal jeopardy.

if he lies when confrontpugh confrontpughwith evidence of ine pedaling. there is mountains of it. he's charged with perjury. if he tells the truth he further implicates himself. think that's the plan. a series of stunts, refuse the deposition. we will taunt the republicans into a public hearing. >> if it doesn't work we will force the committee to move to contempt. hunter has pushed this to the brink before the full house vote on contempt. the timing reveals the scam. today's office effectively nullifies effort on joe biden's doj to prosecute his son for contempt. don't give them the excuse. issue another subpoena tomorrow and be done with it. doesn't matter, hunter biden won't testify. you can see it in his lawyer's letter. at the very end look at it

closely. it says will he comply for a hearing or deposition. he doesn't say he will testify. compliance is not testifying. >> hannity: well said. pete, let me ask you this. i would ark aou this wouldn't of happened if not for jim jordan, james t jason smith, and the pressure that they have put on and the light they have shown on merit garland and the two tear tiersystem and the politicizing. if they did this to navarro and ban on and don't do it to hunter it's -- you're reinforcing everything, every charge made against you. do agree with that. >> do i agree, sean t-fpltz

about time. it's about time republicans fight fire with fire like democrats have. hunter biden's life, all 18 holes are a mull tkwapb at this point. all he has got aepb way with is the reflection of a corrupt system protecting it's ben factors. they want to say we need a proactive policy agenda. fine, do all that. but in the meantime use your committees to go after the corruption in plane sight that people get away with in the shadowing corners of washington. i wouldn't get away with. i wouldn't get away with. your viewers wouldn't get away with. they need to go to the mat, keep going to the mat on this corruption, all the way. don't worry about kphreut list cal consequences. they have done the same thing to trump. they will do it to their opponents. we should fight fire with fire.

i'm glad they're doing it. >> hannity: what about the idea that the initial subpoena was legally in valid because the full house of representatives hadn't formalized the impeach impeachment inquiry. >> that's hog wash. you don't need an in choiry. when i was chairman we issued all kinds of subpoenas. you don't need that in place. the house of representatives can issue a subpoena to anyone, at anytime for any reason there. is no prepredicate for this. it's legal hog wash. it's meant to snooker people. nobody is buying that. >> hannity: then there is the suggestion. i want your take on it was legally in valid. then they put in a footnote, a

procedure process of deposition. greg, that's not how it the system works. i know they thought it was a cute point when they said we want a public hearing. sure, we will give you a public hearing after we depose you behind closed doors and have the freedom to ask you the questions we may not ask you in public. that's how the system works. they want to change the whole system, every step of the way. it's kind of a life story of hunter. didn't want toe charge him. the fix was in. the whistle blowers come out. a sweetheart deal that fell flat on it's face because of one judge. now here we are with a bias special council. merit garland has to they think about how this all impacts him no? >> ya, absolutely. don't give garland an excuse ton prosecute biden for contempt.

issue a new subpoena. a deposition is vital and important. it's used. it's not the politicians asking the questions. it's the investigators and lawyers, steep in the knowledge of the case. they know the documents inside and out. they ask penetrating skillful pros ex aplg nation questions. you don't get that in a public hearing with a five-minute limit. the panel members deliver speeches and rarely ask a question. that's what hunter biden and his lawyer wanted. they shouldn't get it. >> hannity: thank you. a praoefrb ate you all. i can't believe monday is iowa. coming up more bad news for h hillary clinton onou this friday night as we continue.

>> houthi remembers fire into international shipping lanes into the red sea. the strikes began yesterday when more than 60 houthi targets were struck. president biden has called those strikes a success. mixed reaction on capitol hill. some welcoming the strikes as necessary and overdue. others slamming the president for acting alone without congressional approval. again fox news has learned that the u.s. has scare he'pugh out an additional single strike in yemen tonight. that after houthis rebels fired a ballistic missile into the red

sea. now back to more "hannity." >> hannity: alright president joe is back on the biden nomics train visiting stores in allen town, pennsylvania. pretending the economy is great. as usual biden seemed completely out of it what a shock. take a look. >> nice to meet you. >> you too. >> nice to meet you. >> natalie and erin. >> nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you. >> i'm joe. >> nice toe meet you i'm keesh ooh. >> these are all of the folks that work -- >> we stopped seplg food to the customers this morning to send food to the fire fighters.

>> we paid you, right. >> absolutely. >> hannity: his wife jill says he has so much vigor and his staffers say they have a hard time keeping up with him. you the american people, american businesses are not buying joe's lies about the economy after a expensive mistake. hertz rental cars will now sell 20,000 electronic vehicles from their fleet. they are reinveinvesting in gas powered cars. the same company that biden praised for accelerating the transition to electric according to a new poll, some of the biggest supporters of joe biden include young people, women and his panics. they're stressed about finances and worried about the economy why the poll numbers are sinking. former obama advisor, axelrod, is willing to state the obvious. he says biden's poll numbers are a very very dark sign for his

reelections campaign. he no longer cares if biden likes him or not. here with reaction, host from out kick host and democratic pollster is with us. tomi, let's start with you. i can see young people looking at this. it's not even like grandma and grandpa slowing down. it's grandma and grandpa need to be held and escorted into the ice cream shop to get their chocolate chocolate chip, whatever his favorite ice cream is. it's that bad. i don't know. i look at it i'm embarrassed he's our president. >> watching him try to navigate around the straw in the clip you played was troubling to say the least. speaking of young people. young people are moving away from joe biden. young people feel the pressures of living under bidenomics.

here is my concern, sean. young people, they know the situation is not great. i'm worried about two things. they don't attribute that too joe biden himself. worst than that i worry young people, gen zs and ill en kwralz don't attribute that to democrats. you have to say the democratic policies he's puppet aoering they're the problem. if we don't have that you won't see the gen z's and women voters is turn away from democrats. this isn't joe, the message has to go beyond that. democratic, leftist policies fail americans. >> hannity: by the way you're not the only american that feels that way. i would argue he's one major fall from not being the nominee for the democrats. mark, look we have been around

an election or two over the years. it's ourpb first rodeo. when you have guys like david axelrod and james carvel and mmaureen doud and the obama scared to death. you have to take note. these are not insignificant voices in the democratic party. they're powerful voices. what is your reaction to all that had. >> i like to call balls and strikes. no question joe biden's numbers are tough numbers to get reelected with the job rating in the 40s. two-thirds saying the country and the economy are going in the wrong direction. half of my poll saying they're worst. no question whether that. i abo. does that mean he will lose? i think the state of the union is an opportunity.

creating couple hundred jobs a month is low. he has the international coalition. >> hannity: alright. have a happy new year and great weekend. thank you, mark and tomi. so manying up we're three days from the iowa caucuses. nikki haley weighs in as we continue this friday night.

>> hannity: alright we are only three day as way. game day starts the iowa caucuses. the first in the nation. now this year voters have to brave very very low temperatures down to negative 30° with the windchill. the candidates are confident voters will show up. after all there is a lot at stake this year. some concern over potential third party candidates. now the no labels party is trying to recruit chris christie. they can have him. foreign policy son everyone's night. the air strikes against the houthis, joe biden says they should be designated a terror organization. i guess he forgot he took the designation away. anyways, right when he took office. take a look. president: i think they are.

president: yes. >> hannity: alright here with her reaction former south carolina governor, u.s. ambassador, and 2024 residential candidate, nikki haley. it seems the economy gets the most play. peace and prosperity historic drive elections. we now have conflicts. we have war in europe. we have war in the middle east. we have a ran sponsoring terror. you know in the case of the houthis they're providing the military equipment, proxy war against saudi arabia, missiles fired into israel it raises the obvious question of foreign policy. what would the nikki haley doctrine be on all three of these issues? >> first of all, sean, it's a constant topic of c conversation

for voters here in washington. we have seen it in new hampshire. people are worried. they see the wars and worried what it means. we should always be focused on national security and prevention of war. that's what joe biden has missed. the reason this has happened he's too slow and weak on everything. we saw it from afghanistan. we saw putin surrounding ukraine a year before and he did nothing. we see it with iran. they smell blood in the water. they are taking advantage of every situation. they know joe isn't. what bothers me more than that, what keeps me up at night is what happens between now and elects day. because you just showed that clip of joe biden. it didn't even feel like he knew where he was. >> hannity: it's chilling. when i first started to point this out in the election of 2020, i was ex excoriated by so.

what should the message on the world stage be? joe biden wants over $200 billion going to the ukraine war. to me that l looks like a proxy war between us and russia. joe is pressuring israel for a's fire. acease-fire. if i was president i would say, go win your war. my advice to them would to be beat back hamas in the south, heshezbollah in the north, taket refinerifineries and nuclear sif they want peace in the region for a long time they have to win the war and secure their

station. they're surrounded by a lot of enemies. >> the first thing i will tell you, we should never give cash to any country, tprez or foe. you can't follow it. you can't hold it accountable. take these one at a time. look at ukraine. a pro-american freedom loving country in vied by a thug. half a million have stkaoeued and been wounded because of fewer tin why. should america care about ukraine? that's a legitimate question to ask. we know, we saw this at the u.n. dictators, thugs and terrorists tell us what they are going to do. they're tr trans paeurplt. china says taiwan is next, we better believe them. once they take ukraine, poland and the ball balance baltics a.

is about preventing war this. is only 3 and a half % of the defense budget. the europeans have paid more than that. for israel they're the tip of the spear for defeating terrorism. they're a bright spot. it's not ame -- when you look at october when they be headed people and burned the baby as live, took the girls from the concert and raped them, dragging naked bodies, they said death to israel. death to america. if you look back on that here irving day, sean, october 7th that was fewer tin's birthday. he hit rock bottom. he lost 87% of his fighting force. they raised the draft age to 65.

who is the happiest person in the world now? f?putin. you know who he calls he calls hamas and invited them to russia the next day. they held hands as friends. russia, china and iran are bound together in a unholy alliance. they hate freedom, democracy and freedom. >> hannity: it's the new access of evil no doubt about it joe biden didn't demand europe to protect their own continent first. they should have put the bulk of money. they put handcuffs on zelensky. saying you can't take migs from poland. you can't use cluster bombs. at that point we're throwing our money down the drain. joe isn't allowing ukraine.

they have fought valiantly. i agree with you putin is a thug and murderer. joe biden put handcuffs on them to fight the war. >> you're exactly right. exactly right. >> hannity: on israel all he had to say is go win your war. stop the behind the scenes. one message publicly and pun message privately. my sources say he has pressure on israel to have a cease-fire no. message should be, beat back the terrorists raping and murdering your citizens in the dark of night. joe biden doesn't seem toe have that philosophy. he's a lieuin>> that's right. that's why our friends don't trust us and our enemies don't

fear us. i intend to get america proud and strong again. >> hannity: alright. how do you think you will do monday. >> we will have a str strong shg on monday. >> hannity: i'm leaving my warm weather state to go to 20° below zero weather, wow. >> layer up, layer up, it's cold. >> hannity: i'm layering up. i may get toe and hand warmers on top it had. appreciate you being with us, governor. thank you. straight ahead hillary's teaching semester didn't go as well as expected. we will explain.

>> hannity: tonight bad news for

hillary clinton. it appears her like ability struggles followed her to columbia university. last year she taught in the situation room. it goat a lot of attention. many students complained. one student voiced disappointment with the class saying clinton came across unrelatable, i am personable, acting like a politician, basically reading passages from her book most of the semester, didn't provide the class with any new insight. a lot more was said. here with the host of fox news saturday night. a killer knew show debuting tomorrow night here. jimmy, congratulations, sir. >> here it is. >> hannity: i don't know if america is ready for this. >> listen i'm in trouble with

this promotion. all of my old bookies know where to find me. >> hannity: that's right. you owe them money. some are known for breaking legs. i mean i'm looking at -- i have four pages of student comments. i mean, there was a divide between the student and professor. he was not relatable. she was talking at us. it was frustrating. i thought it would make us think carefully and analytic whraoe. analytically.she didn't bring . i thought she would have been more honest with the students. she was trashed. she got an f from her students. >> serious. >> it's a big money maker for columbia. it's the one class you can charge kids to get in and get out. you know. pass around -- half way through the boring lecture they're like, gosh, lady, shut up about the

2016y 2016 election. one thing, we know the ivy league students hate her she's not pro hamas. that being said, sean, i don't want to make the segment about me and my new saturday night show that you graciously promoted. i have met hillary clinton. i met her in public. >> hannity: where. >> at o'hare airport. i met her and bill on august the 9th, 2019. o'hare in chicago. it was surreal. they came off the plane. i thought i would meet bill clinton at a like a hooters. there we were, we shook hands and i can confirm she is boring. >> hannity: let me take a guess. bill clinton said how you doing, jimmy. i'm a big fan. >> do you a good clinton. >> hannity: woui would like to t the hot chicks that go to your

show. i'm just guessing. moving on. now for the latest liberal lunacy. they're showing videos of allege thieves stealing packages. saying that could violate private lives of the alleged robbers. show the picture, catch them, charge them and put them in jail. maybe i'm old fashioned. >> seriously, thank you. i want to live in the world where the criminal is considered the bad guy. sean, we have had the talk about. as kids we played cops and robbers. we knew the robbers were the bad guys. only in the woke utopias, you have empathy for the criminal. you know what i'm saying. those worried about porsche pirates. you dress like me you don't have to worry about them stealing

your cloths. i have porch pirates bringing packages back. >> hannity: when i started on radio 34 years ago i didn't think these would be the topics we talk about. here we are all of these years later. big start tomorrow night. don't screw it up. saturday night. we will be watching. thank you sir. on the fox news channel when we come back the prosecutor accused of having the romantic relationship with fani willis confronted. we will hear what he says about the affair that. is straight ahead.

♪ ♪ >> sean: top trump prosecutor nathan wade was confronted by "the new york post" today over the bombshell court filing that alleges he had an "improper romantic relationship" with his boss, that would be fulton county d.a. fani willis. he was spotted outside his law office in atlanta and appeared

to be carrying a handgun as he left the building, but when asked about the accusations, well -- that he took fani willis on these lavish vacations after she paid him a fortune with money he earned from the trump case, wade refused to respond and notably did not deny his tryst with the fulton county d.a. unfortunately we may never get to know the truth. but let's see, there's going to be an investigation. jim jordan is all over it. that's all the time we have left this evening. thank you so much for being with us. please set your dvr so you never, ever, ever miss an episode of "hannity." in the meantime, let not your heart be troubled this friday night. greg gutfeld standing by, and he'll put a smile on your face. have a great weekend. we'll see you from iowa on monday. ♪ ♪ [applause]
