works, please set it up for this show. thanks for watching, have a great evening, sean hannity joins us live from new york. >> sean: when they learn how to set it, can they come to my house, i can barely download an app.nn great show, thank you. welcome to "hannity." newly uncovered footage shows georgia senator vowingng to dismantle the value system of "the american empire." wow. apparently they think the very way of life is very evil. we've got the tape, we will give you a preview of just what is at stake, as all eyes in this country, 19 days on georgia for these two senate runoff races. also we will take a closer look at the small businesses in this country getting absolutely destroyed by broadbrush covid-19 lockdowns by rigid government officials that tend to not pay attention to them themselves. liberal governors and mayors are

hurting real americans. our friend mike rhoades' back. first, we have tonight we begin with the disturbing problem with the democratic socialist party. the very same people who scream to russia, prussia, russia four years and years, they might want to know begin taking a long look in the mirror because they must address what is an all too cozy relationship with all things china, china, china. we have long documented on this program beginning in january of 2018 when peter schweizer with c seeker empires come up, the people's empire of china, they are bad regimes, there are the most malignant government on earth, and that's saying something given the other hostile regimes like russia and iran. that didn't stop zero experience hunter biden, he was raking in millions in cash and equity from well-connected high-ranking

chinese nationals and begging for millions more from a chinese energy company. breaking tonight, we can report that hunters ask business associates were actively looking for ways to "get joe" involved in their china venture. one of hunter's former partners texted "let's get the company set up and then tell h and family and the high stakes and get joe involved." let me repeat, why on earth would hunter's business associates want to get joe biden involved with a private equity deal on a forward country like china which is a hostile regime towards us. were they selling the access? special treatment, are they compromised? in other words, the former vice president and his son, what does china have on them, whatmp

potential compromise can exist, and what does this mean for the hecountry? i remember during a train wreck interview on gma, zero experience hunter claimed he had not received one son from his china deals. now, why would he have said that? report grassley contradicts that in detail with millions of wire transfers with china. the report also found hunter's family went on $100,000 shopping spree complements of a chinese national. remember tony bob belinsky was on with tucker. that's his former business partner. it even hunter's own attorney was forced to issue a clarification after the gma interview admitting his clients received equity. it tends to be in the millionsr' of millions of dollars we now know. breaking tonight, a report from daily caller shows that hunter biter was due to receive massive payouts from a chinese equity venture starting in 2019 and continuing for a couple of

years. in other words, to put e e it sy as we speak, hunter or someone else in the body and family might be receiving cash now from china.e joe biden wants to run this country, his son might well be getting cash payments from what is our number one adversary, the most malignant country in the world. that is more than a little concerning. if the name was trump my wonder how the media would wrap. that is worse than anything the russian collusion treaters ever dreamed up. joe biden wants you to believe that this is nothing more than a big right wedding smearr campaign. take a look. >> we have great confidence in our son. i am not concerned about any accusations that have been made against him. it it's used to get to me. i think it's kind of foul play,t but look, it is what it is. he's a grown man. he's the smartest man i know. i mean, the pure intellectual

capacity. as long as he is good, we are good. >> sean: as long as he's good, t we're good. that's not good to me. hunter biden under. federal criminal probe involving international money laundering, tax evasion, this is not going away and it's not a right wing smear. at this as an independent n federal probe that has nothing to do with president trump or his administration. senator rand paul, he is rightly calling on the feds to treat hunter just like how they would treat anyone else connected to trump or his campaign. take a look. >> he's confident, he should leave in place the u.s. attorney who isnn investigating hunter biden. traditionally, when new president comes in, they fire the new u.s. attorneys. they want to show it's going to be an upright upstanding biden administration and they are going to let the cards lie where the cards lie, he needs to leave that u.s. attorney in place. at that something very carefully tois watch.

the u.s. attorney is fired within the first week of the administration and it's going to him biden appointee,. you can tell it's fixed in. hunter biden deserves theern sae justice paul manafort out. >> sean: no matter what happens but the investigation, at least zero experience hunter will always have something to fall back on. breaking this week, despite no real experience in the art world it appears that zero experience hunter was able to land a solo show at a prominent new york art gallery. i wonder how we got that. i'm sure it's his great talents. of course, the biden family is not the only liability inside the democratic party. house intel, eric swalwell had a year's worth long relationship with the reported chinese spine named christina fang. it swalwell to the state refuses to answer a single question about whether or not the relationship was more than platonic, which could make a

difference. fang has been accused of sleeping with many politicians across the country. it raises the question, what, if anything, did he divulge in terms of state secrets being on the house intel committee to this spied that he was hanging out with an awful lot. we don't have an idea, and this is been hidden from theou amerin people for long time. swalwell, another russian truther, refuses to answer any of our questions. take a look. >> swalwell, depend on stepping down from the committee? can you tell us anything about us with the relationship with miss fang? r,anything? swalwell?

>> sean: what did you know, when did he know it, what did pelosi know, when did she know what? the same goes for the correct congenital liar, the comparable ones one himself, adam schiff. to swallow must be removed from the intel committee. he's had a long relationship with a chinese spy. she placed an intern in hisf. office, his judgment is lacking, he can't be trusted with the state secrets. imagine the outrage and the mob the media would have if he was a republican or had the last name trump. did the reaction would be apoplectic. it would be filled with breathless hysteria, second dr. second of every day. because he is a democrat from california, he's gotten now a free pass, and continues to have one. the corrupted media mob it does not serve we, the american people. g only serves their agenda. a few democrats will be held accountable and our country will suffer.

here with the reaction, jim jordan and the president of the government accountability institute, he got the ball rolling in january 2018 and this show,nd phenomenal work. i don't think he knew how right he was then. maybe you did. it gets deeper every day. t let me start with you. he's on the house intel committee, he has this relationship with the woman, then you have the issues with the china and hunter and the payments, and now the text and emails. why -- are they are number one geopolitical foe? >> yes. that they are. it director ratcliff has been clear about this. i think we have to step back and think about this. we've learned this in all one week. we learned hunter biden tookcl $1 million from the ukraine energy company, 4 billion from a company with ties to a communist party, he's been under investigation for two years. we learn to be at this relationship with a chinese spy

per year. we know the speaker of the house but haven't kept him on the intelligence committee knowing all of that. guess what, the mainstream press, the networks, 26 seconds is all they've given to the hunter biden story. it "the new york times" is yet to report. that is a kind of coverage we get from the mainstream press data this is what is so frustrating about this count, in particular how bad the mainstream press is today. it >> have you heard what i heard from sources?ns i haven't seen it for myself. what exactly is on this laptop? the attorney for hunter confirmed it was his when he said, i'd like to get my client computer back. you heard what i heard. >> i have not heard specifics. what i do know is, the fbi had

it for a year. where is this investigation not, why didn't we know that there is no weight in the world anyone will ever convince me people in the press didn't know about the fact that hunter biden was under investigation back in october when bobulinksy came forward on your network, there's no way to convince me. everything else leaks, but somehow no one in the press knows about this? when the press won't cover real stories and big tech sensors conservatives, and you have a third of the electors whoo think the election was rigged, that's not a healthy place for country. so much i think to blame is the media. this is a dangerous situation we find ourselvese in. i hope, as rand paul said in your intro, i hope that the justice department will do the right thing and do a real investigation and get the truth to the american people. >> sean: my bet is there going to try to spike it.l t peter schweizer, you've now had an opportunity -- you have read the johnson grassley report. you broke the ice here in january of 2018, right on this program.re

are the things you are learning now, or maybe suspicions that you had that are now getting corroborated more and more,y where do you see where you were then in verses where you are now? >> sean, i've seen a lot of interesting developments. we always believed that the chinese were trying to curry favor with the bidens, and the bidens were willing to play. we certainly had the money flow, we have the deals. now, with the laptop, with the emails, that includes emails from hunter biden's business partners, but also hunter biden emails himself. we realize how the biden family actually operates in this commercial space. what i mean, sean, it's pretty clear in hunter's own words and some of these emails that he is receiving this money from overseas, but he's also paying a lot of the family's bills,

including his fathers and mothers foreign gains, these foreign funds. the point is, this is not just about hunteril biden getting wealthy, it's not just a question of the intelligence and national security threat, this is an issue of enrichment involving joe biden himself. that's part of what needs to be investigated here. joe biden is being supportive of his son, but he's also kind of distancing himself from his son. that's just not how the family is operated. that needs to remain front and center as we look at the biden fadministration coming ahead. >> sean: all of these little connection, not the text messages that came out tonight that we've acquired here at fox news, they all corroborate a level of knowledge that biden denied that was not previously known, and number two, to me it shows a level that he had to know.. there's no he didn't know. just like when he's bragging,

he -- that prosecutor who is investigating his son was being paid millions with no sexperience. >> exactly right. they're using the tools of the vice presidency to get these deals. hunter flew over on air force to to beijing. you know, you don't think on the 20 hour flight that father and son didn't have a conversation about what hunter was doing there, and when hunter introduced him to his chinese business partner on that trip,. there were no questions asked? of course there were. all you have to do is look at joe biden's statements over the years, over the decades, of how close the family is. and at joe biden's statements that hunter is the heartbeat of the family. it starts to create this picture. i applaud the fact that the bidens are a close-knit family,

but you can't say you are a close-knit family and to be a close-knit family, but then pretend that these commercial dealss y are never discussed, there's no conversation, there was no interaction. that's where i think the needs to goen next. >> sean: the last question, the chinese are good at espionage, my question is -- i've got to assume that they probably already have hunter's laptop and what i'm being told is on there -- this is going to get very ugly very fast. what were the chinese likely have on both joe and hunter? do we have to assume a lot? >> you probably do. it's anyone's guess, the assumption is -- when you're thinking about someone as dangerous as china you have to assume the worst. it is not just documents and emails, we have an eyewitness. you had him on the network, tucker interviewed him.

bobulinksy was an eyewitness. he said himself, the big guy is a reference to joe biden. he was part of this arrangement, saw where it was headed, and got out. you have an eyewitness to it all and still the mainstream press refuses to cover a bid that to me is so wrong and so wrong for the american people not to be able to have the information and for the press not to cover real stories. >> sean: thank you, we will stay on it. here with more is kayleigh mcenany. before we get to that between swalwell, the bidens andre to china, may be a little bit ironic considering impeachment and to prussia, russia, russia, but have very different treatment from a media that i believe you know very well. >> and the fact that they did not cover this, it is journalistic malpractice to say the absolute least. if you add joe biden in the early stages of the primary say that china iss not a strategic threat to this country, we all raised our eyebrows that he said that. now we know why, because it was for the big guy. joe biden was getting involved in the china funds coming into his family.

you had a dereliction of duty in the press did not even cover this, not ask a question, gump, calling it it's disinformation. it is simply remarkable, it should enrage every american, it should enrage the 14% who said they wanted to voted for joe biden if they had known about this. >> sean: it's those two runoff races in georgia -- we had a ruling in georgia today, a little bit -- let's just say bizarre to me. on the one hand, the judges claiming that the claim wasn't right. on the other hand, i you are a little latee interviewing at halftime. with all of that noise in the background, it's imperative that people go out and vote in this whole thing. why would you have two signature

verification systems? one, a very lax system if you sent in a mail-in, and a stringent one if you vote in carson. >> every georgia much to go out and vote. we have to overwhelm the system by having every trumped voter boat no matter the degree of fraud or signature matching. you have to vote. what happened today is one of the single most important things that i think has happened in the last month. the fact that now moving forward if you have republicans, vocal republican saying, look, let's fix this ahead of january 5th. a judge said simultaneously, you're too late bringing this claim, this is halftime, but it's also your claim is not right. this is the kind of thing that's going to happen over the next few years as a republican say we matches, we needed judiciary

with a slight bit of courage to stand up and say, yes, we need safeguards in our election. yes, mass mail-in voting was a problem, it was they recognize the system, we won't let that happen again. we got to have integrity forur january 5th and beyond. >> sean: what is thein update now at this late date in terms of challenges for investigations that are ongoing? >> they're still ongoing litigation in arizona, there are a few other appeal options in nevada and elsewhere. the president's litigation is ongoing, make no mistake. also in the four states that weg saw a lot of problems and with those big metro areas, the only metro areas where joe biden beat hillary clinton ironically. congress will decide in january, so we will see what happens, ongoing litigation, thisis president is a fighter. he will fight for the forgotten men and women. >> sean: thank you. when we come back, we go to the state of georgia. so much going on, and new developments tonight. we will be in on that on those

senate runoff races and the context of what this means for the country. also, new allegations tonight about jon ossoff, connections to china, sounds like the bidens, and it sounds like swalwell. bidens aide tried to walk out about what they think about us conservatives. that doesn't stop hillary from defending her. candace owens, coming up here. stay with us, busy news nights. ♪ t. at aspen dental, it's easy to gift yourself the smile you deserve. new patients, get started with a comprehensive exam and full set of x-rays with no obligation. and if you don't have insurance, it's free. plus, get 20% off your treatment plan. enjoy flexible payment options and savings when it matters most. we're here to make your smile shine bright so you can start the new year feelin' alright. call 1-800-aspendental 7 days a week

♪ >> sean: likely been saying on this program, all eyes are eyes are in the great state of georgia. a lot at stake, these races are critical and crucial to protect the country from an extremism that will be unmatched in history. if you are in georgia, know that all of these democrats are going to be wanting to take your money and bail out states that are not as a fiscally responsible.s don't funds their pensions like california, new york, new jersey, illinois. it would also mean ending the good legislative filibuster, higher taxes -- much higher. open borders, court packing, two new states, for new democratic senators. these races are critical, crucial to preserving the president's work, legacy, and critical to continuing real

investigations into the real abuse of power and corruption. radicalism awaits this country, only georgia and georgians can stop it. it tonight, we are learning even more about the peach stateio socialist raphael warnock ended john off stuff. tonight we have a newly unearthed video from may 2017 sermon, warnock preaching about wanting to dismantled the american empire. god help us, take a look. >> year of the lords freedom. in other words, i came to dismantled the value system of the empire. here's the problem. the religious folk who should be fighting with me against the empire are in cahoots with the empire. it's religious folk who are trying to steal money from the poor and to give it to the rich through this terrible tax bill.

>> there some jacked up theology coming from american pulpits. >> sean: combine that with what we already know from warnock's extremist past, praising the nation of islam, comparing israeli prime minister to george wallace, repeatedly disparaging police officers, even claiming americans cannot serve both god and the militaryg a fellow extremist jon ossoff, he appears to be taking his cues from quid pro quo joe and a zero experience hunter. and a new ad put out by senator purdue, it exposes some of his troubling ties to the chinese communist party. take a look at this. >> news reports recently uncovered it jon ossoff is being paid by the chinese communist government by a media company

ties to a tech giant accused of spying. unbelievable, but i absolutely true. jon ossoff won't hold china accountable, he works for that. >> sean: here to break it all down, former white house deputy hi staff, karl rove. i guess i'm the only one of country, probably you do that hasn't made a bunch of money from china. you've got swalwell, hunter and joe, no we have jon ossoff. >> that is interesting. he hit it. had it when he began the campaign to lay out the customers and climates of his media company. he laid out that nine of his first ten projects were paid for by the gutter government, the government that underwrites welch's ear, it ale jazeera itself that was the client. what he didn't reveal was he had done work for a chinese media

company as a minority stockholder for the chinese communist party. he waited until after the democratic party, then filed an amendment and laid out that he had gotten paid money by this company. it's owned in part by the chinese communist party. you can't make this stuff up. it's unbelievable. there's nothing -- >> sean: it you watch ujoe biden today, how dismissie and defensive he was about hunter, where not talking about small amounts of money here. we are talking about russian oligarchs, because i, cosmic oligarchs, brie smoke, ukraine, the private equity deal which is a billion, and a national shopping spree >> i was unsettled by the president-elect comments. i have mixed feelings about the special counsel. having been the subject of an

unnecessary investigation by patrick fitzgerald for three years involving the -- and joe wilson claim incident, i have -- i don't wish that on anybody. the vice president, the former vice president needs to understand that his son was trading on the vice president of the united states name and influence because he was his father. that's how he got on that board. that's how he got on air force too. but that's how he got the chinese deal. we understand there is an investigation going on, that an investigation for the good of the country, and for the good of the biden presidency, if nothing untoward was done, that investigation needs to be carried to its conclusion. that to me means that it needs to be a special prosecutor of high integrity and blameless character named to review this.s at the last thing you want is for this thing, for the new administration to come an end for the new president to be so dismissive of this that people inside the justice department say, you know what, the president doesn't want to have

anything done on this list. this is a real problem. >> sean: polls show these are very tight races. i don't particularly like the date of january 5th, considering next week is christmas week. at the week after his new year's week. then you come back on tuesday, the election is held. how do you assess, do you think -- is this breaking through for the people of georgia how high the stakes are here? what are they not being told even by their local media about these two radical candidates? s >> both sides are ramped up and eager to vote. the democrats are underperforming on the early -- on the mail-in ballots. the republicans are doing better there, not alo lot, but some. we only have three days worth of data so far on the in person early voting, but it looks pretty good. it started off as it did in the fall, heavily democratic, it drove people to the polls on

monday. by yesterday, by the weekend we're going to pull ahead.d. just as we didn't need november election and the wind narrowly, i think we will win by a bigger margin.'r i'm the chairman of a national fund raising effort on behalf of the republicans in georgia, and i think we will win the early vote and election day. can i go back to warnick, you left out some of the best parts of the 2017 -- 2017 sermon.nk the poor with you because of the evil and to be excesses of the empire, referring to the united states. let me translate that. capitalism, american capitalism makes people poor. that's what he was saying. we know that's not true. but the thing that makes people poor's absence to capital, absence to education, absence of the rule of law and socialism. that he is blaming the poor in america on the thing that is gotten more people out of poverty all around the world than anything else, which is a free market and a system of capitalism.

he then went on to say, the earlyy church was a socialist church. the rich need to understand that their responsibility is to level the playing field. let me translate. transition, socialism is morally superior. second of all, taxes should take from those who have two give to those who don't. at this guy is out there on the left. one of the reasons i feel good about the republican effort in georgia is, the longer it goes on, the more it becomes apparent -- we got him saying i like bernie sanders, i want him to be the chairman of the budget committee. what is not going to do to every military installation in the state of georgia? we have two guys who believe in raising taxes. they're going to be taxing georgia businesses, taxing savings, taxing retirement, taxing paychecks.g it's going to be naughty if these two guys when i met and that's why i think at the end of the day they won't.

>> sean: any predictions question marks become no peer to no, close election. republicans win, they have a better ground game and they are focused on this laser-like on getting out the vote. the owner we going to have partisan observers?er are these dropout boxes being washed? are we going to have a signature match that we can have confidence in? >> i will say yes to the first two, i don't know about the last. we are in the legal fight now. in most of the counties in georgia, they will do it right. what i'm worried about is the counties in the atlanta area where democratic election supervisors want to be able to match the ballot signature to the request signature, which is ridiculous.st i'll tell you about something. a friend of mine reached out to me, used to work for me in the white house and before that worked for me and my company in

austin. a friend of hers from odessa, texas, had a mom -- apparently the family is originally from north dakota. the son arranged to have all of the mail forwarded from atlanta. guess what he just got in the mail? a ballot. and not a request for a ballot, but about. someone got a hold of her request, centerton, and a defendant ended up getting sent to the address that he left with the authorities. >> sean: we need voter i.d., we need those monitored during of the drop boxes, and i would also ask for signature verification. >> and 4,000 poll watchers are now working in georgia. >> sean: they better make accommodations for covid, otherwise no one can see anything from six, 20, 100 feet away. no more kicking people out of the room when doing the vote counting. the joe biden eight that we told you about last night who told "glamour" magazine,, "in the kid

primary people would mock biden like they can with republicans. i'm not saying they're bunch of -- and mitch mcconnell is .terrible." she saying she used words that i probably could've chosen better. it doesn't sound like an apology. it's not stopping democrats. their allies in the mop in the media defending her. claiming the outrages rooted in sexism. okay. >> they are worried about this. it really, marco, shut up. by the way, all the people that they go after our -- is that how you save female? it's in a misogynistic way of attacking women is what it is. >> sean: another biden staff are also defending the remarks

saying she had the guts to say. even hillary clinton felt the need to time and to defend the comments.em so much for unity, love,il togetherness and buy togetherness and bipartisanship. author blackout, candace owens along with author, best seller, weekend cohost, pete hegseth. candace, we'll start with you. and, the double standard, it just -- i mean, there's no end to it. >> one of the things i appreciate, you have to love the left, whenever they're in a sticky situation they throw out an imperative it's ridiculous for her to say that. i will say this, i actually appreciate transparency here. i love these raw moments from the left when they are just being honest about their perception of republicans. this as there on hisve honest perception of not just republicans, but of all americans. this is how they view people that love their country. we've been called irredeemable, we've been called deplorable,

and now we see that they want to say something about all republicans being this or that. it's because here's the truth, if you believe in the american dream, if you believe this country is a fundamentally good country, if you believe in the values and the system and you appreciate their something special about america, there's something in this country that works -- there's a reason why immigrants from all over the roads are dying to get into this country.an this is what the left views about you. it's just like you showed, anyone working for joe bidenen they seek to fundamentally transform this country. it's not about community, there are never after unity. in my honest opinion, this is the democrats being as honest as they possibly can be about their feelings about your americans. >> sean: i agree with you. if we did that, the world would implode. the outrage, the vapors, the feigned outrage. pete? >> you are so right. john just had the guts to say

it. she said, this is how we all truly feel. not just about donald trump, but the 75 million people who'd voted for him. these are the typical d.c. back and forth that the media likes to latch onto and accelerate. we all already know who the left are, how they truly feel. candace said it right, this unity ticket has always been a lie. anyone that believed it was perpetuating it just to get someone elected. this is all about burning down anything donald trump dead, which was america first, and putting a globalist -- socialist agenda dressed up as something else. joe biden, no red states, no blue states, just the united states of america. this instead as we seem from cabinet pigs will possibly be one of the most radical leftist administrations we've ever seen. it's only open now, we know it. they hate president trump, that's what it's all about. >> it's not that hard to predict, they have this faded agenda, which is the most

radical ever in history that any party ran on. you can almost build in guaranteed lock at it in cement that they really believe it, they're going to pursue it, they are going to overreach, and they're going to forget that there are 75 million of us that -- no, where nock went to like it or put up with it. we are going to get pretty vocal. >> that's exactly why they're putting so much time trying to mischaracterize us. that's why they throw out sexism and misogyny. they've been -- americans who are willing to fight for the liberties and freedom and allowed many of us to come from this country, born to this country with very little. i was born to this country with very little and i was able to work hard. i was able too earn something fr myself. my family didn't have a bunch of money to give to me. i wasn't a politician for 40 plus years and just hunter biden in doing nothing good. it there so many of us who love

this country for the right reasons, we are the ones who are going to stand up and speak out against it. >> sean, it's why we don't back down. we know their games. the labels they will put on us, the name sable carlos, it doesn't matter, because it's all fake. keep fighting no matter what. >> sean: that would be called a typical day of the life of candace, pete, and hannity. a typical day. good to see you all. when we come back, this guy, i wanted p his job. i want to do dirty jobs, and i love deadliest catch. my group, talking about a serious issue of how weaknesses for businesses during the covid to crackdown and to draconian measures they put in place, next. ♪

♪ >> sean: we bring back a special guest, someone i am very jealous of. my group, inc. the host of the tv show dirty jobs. he's also the voice behind it deadliest catch. by the way, he's started a foundation called safety third, being your personal responsibility and the sale of safety third masks, you can see him wearing one on your screen

right now. he's raised $270,000 for work ethic scholarships. he also has returning the favor, the only show guaranteed to make you laugh and cry. we've been highlighting restaurant owners due to severe covert restrictions can't even make a penny and their life's dream destroyed. to take a look. >> we put everything into it, just like all small business owners. if that's the whole reason why we started all of this, to bring attention to it and say, we need assistance, or we have to be able to open in a saved way. just what they've been doing to us wasn't acceptable with dragging this on for as long as they have, and continue to do it. >> i said, why, i'm complying. i'm complying now. why do you guys keep poking at

me? i've already complied to what you guys want. it's almost like i have my hands tied. if i put tables outside, i get a citation. if i put my tables inside, same thing. why can't you leave me alone? >> sean: i hope you don't take it personally that i want both of your jobs because of the coolest shows on tv. it number one, i'm grateful for what you do. i look at the guys you featurette deadliest y catch. these guys can die out there with the hard work they do. i love those guys. i'm looking at these restaurant guys, and these people are dying. they are suffering. it there is no freedom, we are all a bunch of sheep and it's annoying me. youres thoughts? >> i'll tell you what occurred to me in the last segment, watching pete and candace and you talk. here's a question, what did joy behar, candace, pete, you, and me all have in common? >> sean: i'm listening. >> the government has deemed us

all essential. incredible. i don't know about you, but i've worked. i worked every day in my chosen field since march in some way, shape or form. i've done it cautiously, taken precautions and followed protocol, but i've worked rmliterally every day, consequently i am making my bills and my people are employed.we when i seem talking to guys like that -- i mean, it's been a slow burn for me to be honest, but i've come to the point where candace mentioned irredeemable and deplorable. there's a new word for 40 million people in this country. nonessential. it's crazy. we have deemed a giant hunk of our people essentially one click away from unimportant or worthless. what happens to an economy when you call men like those nonessential people? the fact that you and i are allowed to work in our chosen

field, and they can't, it's just another example, in my opinion, of a big cookie-cutter approach in the name of public safety where we treat everybody basically the same, except for essential folks. this is weird for me to say, sean, because i hosted the grand daddy of essential shows. it dirty jobs andd deadliest catch are really about essentiality. during this pandemic, i've seen firsthand that everybody. is essential to somebody. even if you are just working to pay your own bills. something is going on here that is fundamentally upside down. the fact that these policies are now being instituted by leaders who have shown themselves to be the very definition of hypocrisy is, i'm afraid, going to lead us into a place where it's going to be very difficult to get the back in the goose. >> sean: what a fisherman

didn't fish. you brought in covid in these last two seasons. what if they didn't fish like what if medical manufacturers shutdown when we needed them? what if farmers didn't farm, packers didn't pack, truck didn't truck? what would have happened to all of us? >> and it's a wonder life, he said, what would happen if this one man had never been born? had he never walked the earth. the answer is everybody's favorite movie because it shows us in clear terms that we are all connected. never mind essential versus nonessential, fishermen versus farmers, steelworkers versus pipe fitters versus teachers versus accountants. m we are all part of a mosaic, its quilts. if you start to arbitrage certain people out of thee mosac

based on some harebrained definition of essentiality, then you're going to get the really depressing parts of it's a wonderful life, and it's going to keep going on and on and on. people like me are going to show up and selling masks saying safety third because we are trying to raise money to do msomething. >> sean: i want you to get me one thing, i want a poster of deadliest catch signed by some of the fishermen. >> hang on, don't move! i'll get it to you right now. if the price is right -- if the price is right? it's called a tease. we are going to negotiate later, may be on your radio show. >> sean: whatever it is, i will say yes to it. ♪ two medical societies have strongly recommended to doctors to treat acute, non-low back muscle and joint pain with topical nsaids first. a formulation they recommend can be found in salonpas. a formulation they recommend can be found in salonpas. salonpas. it's good medicine. hisamitsu.

and i want to tell you that loneliness in our society and yet few want to admit it. social scientists are telling us that the average man lives a life of quiet desperation. many are embarrassed to say the words, "i'm lonely," or "i need friends," for fear that people might think less of them. but god said that he is the friend who sticks to you closer than a brother. you can trust him. he will be by your side through all the challenges of your life. i know it experientially. he's waiting for you to come to him, will you come to him?
