smugness, and groupthink. have a great weekend with the ones you love. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity" on this busy breaking news friday night. joe biden wrapping up yet another disastrous week of his imploding presidency filled with more bizarre blunders, more failed policy and yes, more really horrific economic data. we're going to break it all down tonight. earlier today, joey was seeing a fist bumping with the saudi crown prince. you know, the same print he called the murderer of jamal khashoggi. the same nation he called the pariah nation. biden claimed in his remarks tonight that he did bring up the

issue of jamal khashoggi. i'm sure he was really a firm. he also confirmed that yes, he did beg for more oil but details were few and far between. take a look. >> we had a good discussion on ensuring global energy security and adequate oil supplies to support global economic growth, and that will begin shortly. i'm doing all i can to increase the supply for the united states of america, which i expect to happen. the saudis shared that urgency and based on our discussions today i expect we will see further steps in the coming weeks. >> reporter: your coming under a lot of fire for your fist bump with the crown prince. i will give you a chance to respond but how can you be sure that another murder like jamal khashoggi won't happen again? >> god love you, what a silly question. how could i possibly be sure of any of that? i just made it clear if anything like that happens again they will get that response and much more.

>> sean: silly question. you know what the sad thing is? we don't need saudi arabia in oil. we've got plenty here. gas, oil, coal, we don't need it. yet again biden showing nothing but weakness on the world stage and suffered, yes, another batch of blunders. i'm sure this shock to you. take a look. >> i was making a speech and i had a terrible headache -- excuse me, a terrible headache. and... sorry. i swallowed wrong. thank you. [applause] >> sean: didn't the media mob attack marco rubio for taking a sip of water? there is one saving grace, he didn't shake air again like he did the day before.

it only got worse from there because biden also made a bizarre comparison while speaking in jerusalem by linking the plight of irish catholics under british rule to the israeli-palestinian conflict. what? take a look. >> there is an old expression, hope springs eternal. i -- my background in the background of my family is irish-american. and we have a long history of not fundamentally unlike the palace daily and people with great britain and their attitude towards irish catholics over the years, for 400 years. >> sean: biden's trip is going so poorly it is even drawing the ire of the congenital compromised corrupt liar that is adam schiff. he tweeted about biden saudi arabia visit and said

quote, if we ever needed a visual reminder of the continuing grip of oil-rich autocrats have on u.s. foreign policy in the middle east, we got it today. one fist bump is worth a thousand words if ever there was sign that democrats were ready to move on from biden, this is it. it couldn't be more clear. maybe the congenital liar should join us and support american energy independence. at the trump policies. caps off another rough week 14 biden as the president's blunders abroad was just the latest in a long string of struggles revealing once again biden is weak, he is frail, he is decrepit, he is not up to the job. this country should be seriously considering the 25th amendment. take a look. >> every time i hear "hail to the chief" i wonder where the hell is he? you think i'm joking, i'm not.

turn around, where is the president? >> what is your message to democrats who don't want you to run again? >> they want me to run. >> two-thirds say they don't. >> read the polls. read the polls, jack. you guys are all the same. [indistinct] >> and continue, which we must do every day, continue to bear witness to keep alive the truth and honor of the holocaust -- horror of the holocaust. [speaking non-english language] >> thank you president biden. honored guests. >> sean: yeah, look at the polls, jack. oh, nobody is there. just a reason why more and more democrats are looking for someone other than biden, over 60% not wanting biden to run in 2024. this week biden inflation hit the highest number ever. another 40 plus year high at

5.1% and even worse, a new record, near new record, wholesale inflation spiked to a whopping 11.3%. when it gets to retail and that level, you will pay for all of it. like i've been saying come everything you buy at every store you go to has been costing you more comments why food bank lines are now longer than ever with americans now overwhelmed by surging prices at the grocery store. look at these findings from the associated press, hardly part of the vast right-wing conspiracy. phoenix has a food bank, main distribution center gave out food packages to over 4,200 families during the third week in june. that is a 78% increase from the same week last year. alameda, california, that county there is also seeing a big increase, as is houston, los angeles and so many others. and biden and his far left enablers have been lying and lying and lying about inflation,

one time after another. take a look. >> i really doubt that we are going to see an inflationary cycle. >> economic analysts to believe it will have a temporary transitory impact. >> faster than expected increase in those prices is actually a good sign. >> was going to hop up a little bit and then go back down. >> with highly unlikely that it is going to be long-term inflation that will get out of hand. >> i don't know anybody who is worried about inflation. to speak over the last couple of months, we actually saw a trend downward. >> make no mistake, inflation is largely the fault of putin. >> i will do everything i can to minimize putin's price hike at home. >> if you want to get rid of inflation the only way to do it is to undo a lot of the trump tax cuts. >> sean: surging costs stem from joe biden's failed economic and energy policies, artificially reducing the supply of the lifeblood of the world economy, that is energy, while

attacking u.s. oil and gas and the industry altogether and letting the far left climate religious cult agenda run the country. only under far left logic is it okay to beg foreign governments for more oil while not wanting to drill domestically right here at home. it's not just a joe biden problem either. with the exception of maybe joe manchin, this is the new green deal socialist democratic party. any other democrat if they were in power would be making the same dumb, idiotic decisions. how is it okay to get oil from russia, iran, opec, venezuela but we don't produce it domestically? tell me the logic behind that. the people around him are no better and frankly, they are the worst kind of enablers. vice president harris is totally unprepared to be president, as we have now learned yet again today another staffer is leaving as she makes one word salad after another. she's almost as bad as biden.

a little bit different reasons. take a look. >> together we are expanding access to transportation. seems like maybe it's a small issue. it's a big issue. you need to get to go and need to be able to get to where you need to go to do the work and get home. >> sean: even the first lady jill biden, she's not doing her husband any favors because as democrats continue to lose more and more support among hispanic voters, jill biden decided it was a good idea to compare hispanic americans to talk of us. look. >> helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bodegas of the bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in san antonio. >> sean: joining us now, he's been with the president on this

foreign trip, our own peter doocy. a lot came out of this. we were told, we didn't get a straight answer about khashoggi. i doubt that was a big part of the composition, my own personal belief. the saudis are going to give us more oil but then they talked about developing new green deal alternatives. i don't believe the saudis are interested in that deal at all in any way whatsoever. it's just a talking point to sell to his democratic socialist friends here. that is my take. >> if things unfolded exactly the way the president says that means they sat down at this meeting, the u.s. on one side of the table, the saudis on the other, i know that you ordered a hit on this journalist for "the washington post" and then they go back and forth about it and then they get to the next order of business with his 5g,

or they screen carbon or whatever it is that the president said they were talking about as the main point. the second thing is they announced of these remarks pretty late relative to when we got the schedule. they only give us 30 minutes heads-up. we thought we would be talking about joe manchin basically knifing his domestic agenda back at home, so it is interesting because with the backdrop of liberals being really upset that more hasn't happened yet to advance progressive agenda items back at home, the president doesn't get to high gas prices in the states until his fifth thing. he talked about 5g, he talked about a civil war in yemen, he talked about carbon capture technology and then gets down to the gas prices and says we are going to have an announcement but prices aren't going to go down back at home as a result of for a more weeks. so there is not going to be -- we already know there is not

going to be an announcement before the president leave saudi arabia about him being able to finagle a deal with all these the gulf-based oil drillers that are here while he is in the neighborhood. but with all that said, the more we are all talking about this and everything that has gone on on this trip and israel and palestine and saudi arabia, the less we are talking about inflation back at home. maybe that's a good thing. >> sean: okay, they get a briefer but americans, every time they fill up their gas tank are reminded of what is happening economically here. what i'm having a hard time understanding is, is anyone in the press corps asking, we have enough energy, and that means oil, gas and coal, for hundreds of years worth of domestic production. we don't need saudi arabian oil. does anyone ever ask, why is it okay to import oil and do deals with hostile regimes, like iran,

venezuela, previously russia, it may be venezuela, and not produce the energy we have, the vast resources we have at home. does anyone ever asked that question? >> so far in this trip it has not come up. there been very limited opportunities where yesterday he only took questions from two reporters from the u.s. side, took a report is the israeli side and today it was a very small group of reporters that were traveling with him to those meetings at a different location then where we are here and it has not come up. i have tried in the past with both jen psaki and karine jean-pierre. i'm not expecting there to be an announcement if these talks go nowhere, then suddenly keystone is turned back on and they are putting some drills in the ground in texas and the gulf of mexico. >> sean: may be if you talked to them off the record you can remind them, they don't have to

suck up to texas or oklahoma or north dakota or ohio or pennsylvania. we've got the resources here at home. maybe somebody could remind them, i know you've got to catch a plane. peter doocy, we appreciate -- >> you can make a case -- >> sean: go ahead. >> you could make the case those are the people he to be the nicest to because you need a couple swing states and there. >> sean: i don't think i will be doing deals with the iranians, russians, venezuelans, the saudis had opec. my own personal taste. okay, peter doocy, thank you for being with us. also tonight across the washington swamp, far left democrats, they continue to fuel more rage against supreme court justices and continue to attack the integrity of the court pier by the way, the double standards, they could not be any more obvious than they are because congresswoman causey of cortez is now firing back this week after a social media personality heckled her

outside the capitol. here's what happened. >> aoc, my favorite big booty latina, she wants to kill babies and she still looks very beautiful, very beautiful, sexy. look at the booty on aoc, my favorite big booty latina. nice to meet you, aoc. look how sexy she looks in that dress! i love it, aoc, hot, hot, hot like a tamale! >> sean: let me be clear, that guy is being a jackass. heckling congresswoman is unacceptable, so are his remarks bear the congresswoman said in response, i was actually walking over to deck him because if no one will protect us then i will do it myself. i need to catch a vote more than a case today. here's the thing, it appears that the same woman sings a very

different tune if the target of harassment is a perceived political enemy because it was only last week that the congresswoman was downplaying and joking about justice kavanaugh being forced to have to fully the restaurant in washington, d.c., after pro-abortion protesters were swarming outside the restaurant here but the left's targeting of justices doesn't stop there because one instructor at harvard law school believe it or not doesn't even think conservative justices should ever have peace again. a harvard professor tweeting out "these six justices who overturned roe should never know peace again. it's our civic duty to accost them every time they are in public. they are pariahs." as she not putting lives at risk? ask yourself, why is there always one standard for the far left democrats and one for everybody else? here with reaction, former

senator scott brown along with truth social ceo devin nunes and fox news contributor tammy bruce. look, i don't want people harassing aoc or any democrat in any place or form. it's never going to end well. i would never doxx any official bid that is intimidation and harassment. it's also against the law, what they are doing, in the case of justices. nobody seems to care. where is merrick garland who declared that domestic terrorism is the number one enemy in this country? a right domestic terrorism. >> that is what encourages this. this is why these people don't stop. i would also note that this is not on a blank slate here. we already have someone in jail because of attempted assassination of justice kavanaugh. they know where it goes. this is not rhetoric or some debate about hypotheticals. we know where it goes and this rhetoric gets even hotter. when you see a reaction by aoc

you think it is perfectly fine and people deserve, who she disagrees with, to be intimidated and i think that is what that was meant to be, at a restaurant. they think they are above everyone else. she does not have to suffer from this kind of indignity but everyone else does. they put themselves above the american people, the contempt with which they hold us and why this is also a part of knocking down the institution. it is creating district trust in the institution. reestablishing that the establishment is the enemy, and with conservatives, only conservatives, what does that tell you? they are getting more blunt about it because they want there to be action. it is certainly not good for the country, and i think what that guy said, yes, he is being a jerk but my goodness, what a display and her reaction was she

was stopped, but this is what we have. it's not even hypocrisy. it is the narrative, the agenda, everyone deserves to suffer, we are better than everyone else and we don't deserve to have to deal with this. >> sean: you release the whirlwind, you don't know what hit you, justice kavanaugh and justice gorsuch. why do i think if i did that i would be arrested, i think i would be in jail and they would throw away the key. to speak of the answer is you would be. when i was in congress, stephen colbert, that lunatic. he busted into my office harassing my staff. we had numerous paid operatives by the dnc and other left-wing groups that would harass me and my staff. this was a constant battle but i think tammy hit the nail on the head and that is when it happens to them, it is suddenly the end of the world and the capital

police department doing their job only when it happens to them. but if it is and when they disagree with than it is okay. i think what we have seen over the last five or six years is this slow degradation of the institutions to where we have a sitting member of congress who is sending out on social media and encouraging people to attack these justices and harass justices at restaurants. this shouldn't be lost on people, there were bounties supposedly being paid in washington, d.c., to report when they find these justices. that is a very scary, scary thing. >> sean: by the way, congratulations. i didn't know that your platform has grown by leaps and bounds. senator brown, to me, this is pretty simple stuff. you don't get a harass supreme court justices. 18 usc, 1507, you cannot intimidate at their place of work, at their residence. that would be judges, that would

be court officers, that would be jurists, that would be anybody. you can't harass them at home and you can't harass them in a court building. but yet merrick garland does nothing. why? >> that's the question, why? god forbid something that drastic happens, somebody gets hurt or killed and then it's on him and this administration. it's on every democrat including chuck schumer, that called for this type of action or activities and the lack of respect between individuals right now is out of control. we've spoken about it many times. we need to calm down the rhetoric. people need to get to their jobs and do their jobs well. and right now we see with the high inflation, the border and all the other things that are going poorly, what peter said in the previous segment about the oil prices. the biden administration has done little if anything right but the one thing they've done right is actually demonized our energy producers ended actually created more jobs

overseas than they have here. there's so much wrong and think it is we have the midterms coming up because people need to get together, we need to throw these bums out and have adults in office. not children like aoc. >> sean: well said. thank you both. coming up, biden's border crisis has gone from bad to worse. senator ted cruz is at the border. he's been witnessing firsthand all of this ongoing humanitarian crisis. it is getting worse by the day. he is next.

encountered a group of three teenagers, two boys had a girl from honduras and mexico. they turn themselves into the agents we were with. a few minutes after that we saw a group of about a dozen, mostly women and children. it included 27-year-old girls, each of whom was a unaccompanied minor. two 7-year-old girls who were absolutely beautiful and precious, with long pigtails. you and i are both fathers. imagine handing a 7-year-old child over to vicious human traffickers. this is happening over and over and over again. and these kids are being horribly treated. the same spot we where we saw a patch of grass just by the edge of the river where days earlier, two little girls age 5 and 6 had been violently raped by the drug

cartels. this human tragedy is getting worse and worse and worse and joe biden and kamala harris, the democrats don't give a damn about it. they are not willing to fix it. >> sean: they don't give a damn about it because if they did they would've fixed it. you were the first on this program, we couldn't get our cameras when they had all these kids in cages and if it wasn't for people like you giving us the video that you took when you demanded to go inside and see it, we wouldn't have been able to show the public what happened. now because they know it is a process release policy, it is drawing all of these people here, and the drugs on top of it because of all the resources are now focused on the people. all these drugs getting into the country and it is killing our kids and you see a humanitarian disaster. you are describing two 7-year-old girls. it breaks your heart. >> that's exactly right. on the banks of the rio grande

just in the grass he found wristbands which i found in the ground, here's a pink one, here's a green one, they are all color-coded. this is a yellow one. all of these are color coded for many thousands of dollars the people wearing them, the cartels. the yellow one is tiny. these were obviously warmed by a child. it's not broken. the child's hand was small enough to slip it off without it. this is a little child, little girl, little boy who is now in america and finds herself or himself owing drug cartels thousands of dollars, and what happens next is that is the biden administration ships them to every city in america. even if you don't live on the southern border you are in a border town because there are kids in your town that are 14, 15, 16-year-old boys who over the drug cartels thousands of

dollars, they are working for the drug cartels, committing crimes in your town. and as bad as that is, the girls have it worse because the girls find them over and over again trapped in sex slavery. it is immoral, it is horrific. there's a reason joe biden has invented the border wants as president. there is a reason kamala harris has not been to the rio grande valley once as a vice president, because you can't look at this horror and defend a peer joe biden found the time to go to saudi arabia e southern border to the worst illegal immigration in the 62 years and i got to say, the body bags are piling up. 50 illegal immigrants in a tractor-trailer outside of san antonio die of heat exposure, including kids as young as 13. last year 100,000 people died of drug overdoses with this

fentanyl exposure explosion, and the joe biden body bags keep getting worse and worse and worse. and it's opening people's eyes. i think november is going to be a red tidal wave. i think south texas is going to turn red, and if and when republicans retake congress one of the very first priorities as we should impeach department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. i think the house will do that, and the senate needs to conduct a trial. we need to put on a trial and put on the evidence of the people that are suffering and dying as a result of joe biden's dereliction of duty. >> sean: senator, it is a heart wrenching report. we've now got to the point where joe biden's policies are aiding and abetting lawbreaking. we would be charged with human trafficking if we did what they

are doing. and now your governor, governor abbott, much to his credit, who has tried to do everything within the legal system, is now forced to push people back over the border. technically, that is not his job, by law. but he has no choice at this point. and unless and until we finish that job it is going to continue to get worse and that humanitarian disaster that you articulated will get worse as well. senator, thank you for sharing that. i hope people hear you loud and clear. straight ahead, shocking video of a home invasion in florida. victim turned the table on the intruders. you defend yourself and it actually works. we've got the tape straight ahead. climate lunatics continuing their slashing operation to save the planet. you can't make this up. coming up. ♪ ♪

the tires of suvs which they say are a big cause of climate . they have already hit cars in new york, chicago, san francisco, even biden's hometown of scranton. here now with reaction, clay travis and the chairwoman of the house republican conference, congresswoman elise stefanik. congresswoman, look at what happened in your state alone. you have this bodega worker. he sang on tape, please, i don't want any trouble, i don't want any trouble. a guy comes behind the counter, attacks him, pushes him to the ground, he is forced to defend himself and then he gets charged with second-degree murder. can you explain that to me, how is that justice? >> it's not justice and this is an example of the far left woke at d.a.s, that not only did we have a new york state, particularly the manhattan d.a. alvin bracco needs to be fired

on day one when we elect a republican governor but we are seeing this across the country. the far left is prioritizing the criminal rather than standing up for the rights of the victim. in the case of the bodega owner of course there is a right to self-defense. we need safety and security. this is amidst a crime wave in new york state and across the country resulting from the defend the police rhetoric and policies that democrats have been pushing from coast-to-coast. i am proud to stand with the bodega owners. they are speaking out, they are pushing back. again, the welcome policies of the manhattan d.a. alvin bragg. >> sean: as you look at merrick garland and all the talk about parents at school board meetings being investigated as domestic terrorist and i'm thinking, okay, what about all the people that are violent on the streets? what about the people threatening the supreme court justices? breaking the law and protesting

in front of their homes, harassing and intimidating them? what about these groups that are out there slashing the tires of people that own an suv? >> i was one of those parents. i've got two young kids in elementary school and i went and spoke at my school board. side note, pay attention to who you are voting for on your school board. a lot of people out there who are parents, including me, that prior to covid really didn't pay that much attention to what was going on at school board level elections. but you're right, merrick garland has been a disgrace and he's been a disgrace because, much of the congresswoman can attest, we know what would solve these issues. put more police on the streets and violent criminals behind bars. this is the 1990s all over again and we are still behaving as if we are in a low crime environment. and it is a luxury of low crime environments to be concerned that you are punishing violent criminals too much. we don't have a low crime

environment anymore. murders went up 30% in 2020. the largest increase we've ever seen on a one year basis. they went up another amount in 2021. i know they are going up again in 2022. all over this country, and why you are seeing that gentleman there who has a gun in florida, so many people are feeling as if they have to take their own self-defense into their own hands. black, white, asian, hispanic, that is what people are doing all over the country, buying weapons because they don't trust the government which has run police often doesn't respond quickly to crime calls to be able to defend them in the event that violence comes to their front porch. >> sean: congresswoman come it does the recent supreme court ruling on the second amendment, allowing people in new york city to have a pistol carry permit or is new york going to ignore the u.s. supreme court? >> we've seen kathy hochul try to double down on her unconstitutional anti-second amendment

legislation. we're going to have to challenge that in the courts as well. the supreme court ruling when it comes to the concealed carry permit, that was a win for the constitution, win for every new yorker. i was proud to sign up in support of that case, in support of the new york state pistol and rifle association. clay is exactly right, we are seeing a crime wave. even in new york we had a bank robbery in hometown usa. my congressional office is just a few blocks away. that is unthinkable for that community. we need to stand strong when it comes to defending the second amendment right, standing up for the constitution and clay was also right, if you look at the statistics this past year, first time gun owners are women, they are minorities because people want the right to defend themselves and we are seeing that the demographic group is more diverse than ever before. so we will challenge these constitutional double downing of gun control laws that kathy hochul and democrats are pushing. again, i believe that is one of the reasons why we are going to

elect a republican governor in new york state. a once in a generation opportunity to address this abysmal record of democrats in albany. >> sean: only 30 seconds, we will give you the last word, clay. >> this is a reality, white, black, asian, hispanic, i am blown away. you probably have heard about this a lot. the number of women who were saying, i'm fed up. they are buying guns and carrying them around in their purses. i've never seen anything like it. we've got to solve this issue. but the place back on the streets, hire more of them, let them do their job and put violent criminals behind bars and keep them there so people don't have to feel like they have to defend themselves without the police present. >> sean: refund the place, don't dismantle them and get rid of the insane and no bail laws. for example, the bodega worker wouldn't have been attacked if we kept that guy in jail. he had a pretty long rap sheet. thank you both.

all right, shark attacks are real and on the rise. what is the reason for this phenomenon? is it something you need to concern yourself with? we will explain, next.

♪ ♪ >> sean: this summer now hitting america, swimmers hit the beach but this year things are getting more dangerous than usual. there's been five separate shark attacks that have been reported in the waters off new york's long island in only the past two weeks alone. more recently on wednesday in arizona man was waiting off smith point beach when he was bitten from behind. thankfully the injuries were not life-threatening but over the past few years, the number of shark attacks have been rising. marine biologist is here to

explain this. looking at these numbers, so far this year, and this is only half the year, we've had one more attack than we had in all of 2020. and last year we have 47 attacks. explain to me, it seems like it is doubling home, and i used to swim in the very same water at jones beach. i'm not too happy to hear that i could've gotten bitten by a shark. >> i think the good news is it would still be pretty safe to go swimming in the water. even the lifeguard that got bit is back in the water already. it may be concerning to see those numbers going up, but we do see attacks go up and then usually come back down. the biggest impact is usually the number of people that are in the water. but at the same time, it is warming up and most sharks like that warmer waters so they will be moving further north. we've also had historically low shark populations for decades

and we are just starting to have those populations coming back in some ways so we have to find a way for people and shark to coexist -- >> sean: hang on a second. >> solicit a local advice. >> sean: how do we coexist question makes a nice little shark, maybe feed the shark? what makes a shark want to bite a human anyway? that may sound like a dumb question but i'm curious. >> usually is going to be a mistake. and in a lot of these cases it sounds like they may be actually smaller sharks that might have seen a hand or foot and thought it was food, so staying out of turbid waters are listening to lifeguards if sharks have been cited is really important. or in some areas where white sharks or the big dangerous sharks might be, paying attention to the local advice is important. you've got more technology all the time, a better sense of sharks are around but people are concerned about it, things like

avoid turbid water, don't swim alone, may be sunrise and sunset and don't swim where people are fishing or you see a lot of baitfish in the water. that might mean sharks or predators are there. rip grants and driving to the beach are usually going to be more dangerous than getting in the water because of sharks. >> sean: are there particular sharks we should be looking out for? we always hear about the great white. are there a lot of great white sightings? has the population dwindle? are people out catching those big sharks? or are they viewed as an endangered species and you can't catch limit if you do catch them you have to throw them back? >> well, great whites, their populations were way down because they were overfished and the seal populations they relied on were down as well. those sharks had been protected and that protection and seal populations increasing mean that great white numbers are on the rise in california and off the northeast coast of the u.s.

that is why in areas where there are lots of seals or sea lions you may want to avoid that because white sharks might show up. if you go down to where i'm from in florida, pool sharks and tiger sharks are the ones you need to be more concerned about. >> sean: you can have sharks in your ocean and your beach. i prefer no sharks in any ocean that i am near. that is my own personal preference but i understand. >> if you like fishing you might want to have the sharks there because they help stabilize ecosystems. things that we like and rely on in the ocean probably rely on having sharks there too appear but we do want to be safe as well. >> sean: under my belt i did catch one shark one time and i did throw the shark back. in case anyone is interested. >> thank you. >> sean: thank you. if it was something i could have eaten i probably would have but anyway. we appreciate you being with us. more "hannity" coming up after this.
