♪ ♪ >> sean: and welcome to "hannity," reporting from dallas tonight. coming up, fbi boss christopher wray grilled on capital bill. at some of the highest levels, just complained that donald trump supporters are no different than the terrorists of al qaeda. so much for the new era of journalism. this guy chris look at fake news cnn, maybe it's time for them to go back to stephen colbert where

he came from. later tonight, new york has gone from bad to worse as the city refuses to lock up repeat offenders, all in the name of social justice. now many residents are forced to take matters into their own hands. we're going to talk what local boxing and mma coach leapt into action against a violent criminal, but first we begin tonight with a common theme from the biden white house and that is one of weakness. take a look. >> i must admit, i spoke about the possibility of my being able to buy one of those corvettes that are electric vehicles and i'm not going to be able to do it because i can drive a vehicle while i am present beer >> good for the economy and the environment. >> thank you. is it all right if i ask a question, brian? >> of course, mr. president. i'm just going to ask secretary

yellen to offer -- >> before you do, can i ask a question? >> of course. >> i would like to ask a question. >> sean: you can't make this up, anyone can see the joe biden is physically, mentally just gone come out of it completely. his knife policies are even worse he thinks he can save the world with a massive amount of new taxes and federal spending. 80,000 new irs agents. we are going to more than double the number of irs agents and then of course everybody needs an electric car. he also believes world peace can be achieved through appeasement. sadly this kind of weakness always, always invites aggression. last year biden attempted to appease the taliban, gifting them to graham air force base to allow them to march right at the center of kabul in record time. in just a few months kabul is already a safe haven for al qaeda. the terrorists are honored guests of the taliban and let's

not forget when biden tried to appease russia. the shiny new pipeline and putin immediately, what does he do in return? he invades ukraine and the diplomatic efforts with russia are such a disaster he has totally failed to free the wnba player brittney griner who is now rotting away in a russian prison cell because of a weed pen, nine years in jail and chose words to vladimir putin are completely meaningless. this all despite offering up merchant of death. remember this guy we told you about in a prisoner exchange. this terrorist and international arms dealer was convicted in a plot to kill americans. american's relationship with russia is at its lowest point since the cold war and we are seeing the exact same thing unfold with communist china. and tonight it is clear that the ccp wants to invade our ally taiwan. china's military has been

breaching taiwan's airspace. they are firing missiles now over taiwan and the ccp now threatened to assassinate the ally after he was threatening joe biden and joe biden nothing. did biden threaten president xi? he did not. intellectual property theft, unfair trade practices, treatment of the minority uighur community, no. joe got lectured by president xi come in on the other way around. wreaking havoc on the economy already struggling. joe biden is doing nothing to

deter any of china's aggression. instead he is trying to appease communist with tariff relief. why would you benefit china at this time. even tried to distance himself, deploying a u.s. missile test. beyond pathetic, it won't work and will probably incur more aggression as we go down the road. china is now prepping for possible invasion of taiwan before the 2024 election. he won't even pick up the phone and have a tough conversation with his old friend, president xi. our very own peter doocy asked about this. >> president biden has known him for decades. he has a lot of free time in the residence this week. >> he doesn't have free time. >> he can't pick up the phone and call? >> he's been working through his illness, quite frankly, peter, so that's a little bit

insulting. >> it's not insulting -- >> it is. >> to say that someone is isolating by himself. >> you're suggesting he has a lot of free time as if he's not doing anything and you know that is not the case, peter. >> sean: biden doesn't have much of anything on his schedule. we know he wakes up late, goes to bed early so i guess it's fair to say that joe biden does very little in the oval office or the white house. we will have more of my monologue coming up first. joining us in our former white house chiefs of staff brains previous and mark meadows along with former arkansas governor mike huckabee. you were in the room, you were there as reince priebus was with president xi. what is the difference between what you are reading and seeing how and what it was like when donald trump was president? >> it's a position of weakness. he mentioned it in your monologue.

there's two words that define this presidency right now. the other is desperation. it's to take focus off of joe biden's inept policies that continue to haunt the american people. whether it's china, and you've been one of the few that have been consistently talking about the debacle in afghanistan that caused 13 american service members their lives, but candidly commits that weakness that goes all the way through. joe biden has a knock on wood kind of strategy and hope for the best and it is not giving americans the best. >> sean: reince priebus, i think you were there when president trump actually had president xi at the white house, am i wrong about that? >> actually i can answer this. i was at the meeting in mar-a-lago when president xi came to mar-a-lago and we were having dinner. i sat across the table from

president xi and i was sitting next to president trump. one thing remarkable that this dinner there were two topics that president xi went on 30 minutes straight without stopping on. number one was the history of china and japan. and number two was taiwan, and president xi went on and on and on about the strategic importance of taiwan, making it clear they didn't want us messing with taiwan. president trump after dinner said excuse me, have an emergency, i will be right back, left the dinner table, went down to a private room, sat down and launched 59 cruise missiles, how was the creme brulee? that is the difference between joe biden and donald trump. >> sean: i've heard that story so i know for fact that's true.

that's been confirmed by a lot of people. governor huckabee, these are simple yet deeply profound principles, strength rather than weakness. if you look at all the hostile regimes, they sense weakness and they are all taking advantage of it. >> we've all seen this movie before. joe biden is mcfly and biff is getting the best of them every time. it is a threat to the whole world because these dictators and opportunist scene opening. they watch what happens with biden, they know that he is compromised in terms of how many business deals his son and probably he has had with china and biden is running with it and it really should be a major concern to members of congress.

i'm glad nancy pelosi went to taiwan. i'm glad someone is saying to china, we will do what we doggone want to. we don't take orders from you. i wish biden had stood with her. for the record, you are not often going to hear me say nice things about nancy pelosi but on this week's -- >> sean: governor, she didn't have a choice. once they threatened -- >> no, she didn't. >> sean: in my view, she didn't have a choice. i don't think i'm a mark meadows, i don't see any scenario what china is saying, reunification with taiwan doesn't take place and frankly i don't see any solution to getting brittney griner home. that's an american citizen that does not belong in jail for nine years and offering this master of death in exchange, you couldn't have a more one-sided deal in faith of putin and he is still rejecting it.

>> he is still rejecting it but it goes back to the theme, it's the weakness you didn't see under donald trump and you're seeing each and every day, when they smell weakness, they are a lot more aggressive, a nine year sentence is sad. we want her to come home but now we are trading her for a prisoner that was actually convicted of conspiracy who killed american citizens. it sets a very bad precedent. i can tell you, donald trump in the white house was able to get more hostages released and back home without having to pay the price. why? because the leaders knew he was strong and he was willing to back it up. >> sean: let's stay on that theme because this is the difference, the taliban didn't kill an american for the last 18 months of trump's presidency. didn't see north korea.

all donald trump every game kim jong un was a little bit of time, that's it. and we got a lot of concessions from north korea as a result. you didn't see these hostilities from russia or china so what is the difference here? is it that they see weakness they are going to take advantage of it? >> albert einstein had a favorite choice that weakness of attitude is weakness of character. so when you start day one destroying your border, making your country not energy independent again. when you quoted the second half of reagan's quote, peace through strength and weakness invites aggression and it's true. it started on day one, it continued to the economy to fuel energy independence and now he's desperate on this brittney griner issue and by the

way, the other piece of this, the fact that joe biden was upstaged by his own speaker and the speaker didn't listen to joe biden, yet again within his own party, they're walking away from him on 2024, it is weakness all the way from day one and i was on parties abandoning him. >> sean: do you see any scenario under which joe biden would shock us all in stand up to russia or china? because i do not. >> we are not seeing it, he's been in office for two years and he certainly hasn't given that kind of impression and if he is going to do it there never has been a better time than this week and he has failed to do it. and john kirby can defend him all he wants to but to say that joe biden was so busy he didn't have opportunity or time to pick up the phone and to say something to president xi is absurd.

utterly absurd. what was he doing, ordering ice cream for take-out? what is more important than trying to keep china from invading and taking over taiwan right now? >> sean: thank you all. very smart, scary scenarios unfolding. tonight not only is biden projecting weakness abroad but weakness here at home. in an effort to appease the climate alarmist called joe is now talking a brand-new green energy bill that will devastate middle income americans with a boatload of new taxes. the bill also wrecks the coal industry with huge government subsidies for competing energy sources. the west virginia coal association is now shocked and disheartened and get this, breaking today, over 230 economists now warning that this bill will make inflation worse. the west virginia senator joe manchin doesn't seem to care. after all, joe manchin is just a far left democrat who votes 90% of the time with socialist

bernie sanders, elizabeth warren and chuck schumer. manchin's campaign also takes a massive amount of money we have learned from green energy groups. these groups do not care about the people of west virginia and neither does the transportation secretary, pothole pete buttigieg, jeannie is that he is. his solution for all those people struggling to put gas in their car? just buy a $60,000 electric vehicle. and to sweeten the deal maker pete is promoting a tax incentive to those wealthy enough to buy the $60,000 brand-new car. take a look for yourself. speak of the best thing we can do is for the medium and long term make sure that americans have more options through greater fuel efficiency and vehicles that don't require gasoline at all so americans don't have to worry about what is happening in some middle eastern capital or foreign war zone. i'm excited about the electric

vehicle provisions. what this will do is reduce the price of tax credits and if you see the lower sticker price you are also going to be saving money for every day that you own it because even at lower prices there is still savings for people who are able to fill up on electricity instead of gas. >> sean: even more out of touch the president of the san francisco federal reserve bank who makes nearly half million dollars a year suggesting americans should stop complaining about inflations because you have enough. take a look at this. >> i don't want the pain of inflation anymore. i see prices rising but i have enough that i can make substitutions and do things, so i am not immune to prices rising. i sometimes balk at things but i don't find myself where i need to make trade-offs.

many americans have enough. >> sean: you have enough, stop being so greedy. charles payne is with us. i was a little surprised, i saw this on foxnews.com, manchin votes with bernie sanders 80% of the time, chuck schumer, 91% of the time. you know, just to give context to this, susan collins only both with mitch mcconnell 62% of the time, lindsey graham, 70% of the time, so you can see that manchin is pretty much a chuck schumer, biden democrat. he likes to portray himself as a moderate, his voting record shows just the opposite. >> he's done a great job at a false promotion. i really want to go after this bill and the way that people just need to understand, the international energy agency,

which is a big international group of folks who have a lot of power, and he put at the supply chain report for vehicles, is what the world will need, the world, 50 more lithium mines, 60 more nickel mines, 60 more cobalt mines, so they come from, the cobalt comes from congo. her busy videos of the kids in filthy water for eight hours, 12 hours a day, no education, pennies on the dollar. some lithium comes from australia and chile, after poison the water. indonesia, the nickel. there are five stages from getting from the raw material to the finished product. so even if you love the climate issue itself, the president is lying to you.

this bill does nothing on the climate side. we are going to continue to strip mine the planet and poison the waters. so as you go along through the process you've got the materials, you start to process it, china takes a a greater share. and then you get the batteries, this is the most important part to remember. when the white house talks about energy security i guess they are talking about those batteries. china has a 70% share and 80% share. our share will go from 9% to 50%. the only part of the equation we play a role and is at the very end of it. we buy these things. the richest americans, college grads who live in urban settings to buy these cars. if they can afford them on their own they don't need any incentive. and that they don't need the taxpayers' money, someone driving a cab for living.

as a complete farce, there's nothing economic about it and there was nothing, zero, zero to even save the climate. >> sean: you are the only person i know who has been talking about it and you are 100% right. an electric vehicle will on average cost 20 grand more than a gas powered vehicle. you are right. so you have to mine for nickel, for cobalt, manganese and all these other minerals. use big, heavy equipment to do so, then you make these batteries and how do you charge them? 80% of our grade, the power grid is not about renewables. only 12% is. so you are using natural gas and coal to charge her electric vehicle in your garage or your charging station and you pay more for that as well. so the bottom line is they are still being fueled in that sense from mother earth and fossil fuels and of course, you're

right. mining all of these areas and destroying the environment in that process. >> we are not drilling a hole in the ground and cracking rocks. we are stripping the planet and poisoning the waters and here's the crazy thing, we just have to look to europe. france and germany, their electricity rates will be 1000% higher this winter. 1000% higher than the average price of the last ten years. there are costs to this commitment magic fairy dust like some democratic congress people believe. i am so glad i am not suffering. of course you are suffering. this thing is absolutely devastating, all this is is a money transfer to the richest americans out there. progressives who vote for

joe biden, that is all this is. >> sean: thank you. fbi director chris wray was drilled by lawmakers today over the agency's handling of zero experience hunter and corruption, jason chaffetz and gregg jarrett weigh in as we continue. new astepro allergy. no allergy spray is faster. with the speed of astepro, almost nothing can slow you down. because astepro starts working in 30 minutes, while other allergy sprays take hours. and astepro is the first and only 24-hour steroid free allergy spray. now without a prescription. astepro and go.

reporting on hunter biden was ordered closed. that hunter biden information related to potential criminal activity. we are not out there investigating whether or not information that we see floating around is truthful or false. our focus in the foreign influence space, which i think is what you are driving at, is whether or not there is a foreign adversary of some sort potentially trying to push the information. >> director ray, i am deeply concerned that the fbi and the department of justice have become thoroughly politicized. i don't believe you fully reflect that politicization but you've been unwilling to route it out. >> director ray, do you know how many parents you've interviewed or investigated since that memo? >> i believe we have had a small number of assessments, which is less than an investigation,

not -- hold on, hold on, let me finish. >> i'm just asking your question question. >> i don't know the number. >> sean: while director ray did vowed to protect whistle blow where louder than words and we've seen this at the time and time again, weaponization of our justice department, efforts to protect high-profile democrats in taking aim at republicans with one hoax after another. here the reaction, fox news contributor jason chaffetz along with fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. i can give you examples, number one, they never got to the bottom. we now know on four separate occasions even though it says verified at the top of the fisa warrant, they are using the disinformation dossier that was completely unverifiable, after it was debunked they had hunter biden's laptop and didn't do a thing with it. now we have the fbi

whistle-blowers and they don't seem to be paying much attention to him either. nor did they pursue justice for the people that were rioting. 574 riots in the summer of 2020. seems like it is one-sided to me. >> there is no equal application of the law, merrick garland, multiple whistle-blowers have come forward with compelling and incredible evidence that there was a scene amongst senior fbi officials to bury and hide incriminating evidence of hunter biden's influence peddling, although at the same time, deliberately and falsely portraying the laptop and it's contents as russian disinformation, knowing full well that it wasn't. and then they hid all of that while dismissing the investigation of hunter biden in a file that they sealed that no one could see but themselves. now that is the definition of corruption. it's also obstruction of

justice, but don't expect christopher wray to clean up the cesspool in the senior management at the fbi. nor can you expect attorney general merrick garland to do the same. he is demonstrated that he is a political toady running a racket. he should have promoted them sell a mandatory -- think about it, he is investigating his boss' son, which includes the president of the united states, has national security been jeopardized by the millions hunter biden paid, some of which bradley went to joe biden, is that what he has been soft on china? granting generous concessions? does he fear or threat of exposure and extortion? it sure looks like it. >> sean: i agree with you.

the three examples we mentioned, they lie on a pfizer application, if i lie before a judge and say something is verified, i think i would be held accountable. if all the stuff that we know is on hunter biden's laptop, not only does it implicate hunter but also joe biden. joe biden lied to the country, and then all the money they made without all the experience. that seems to me the definition of quid pro quo and influence peddling, never mind everyone wants to focus on january 6th, what about the summer rioting in 2020? why is there no pursuit of justice there? >> director wray was supposed to be an agent of change but he is not. i am terribly disappointed in him. i think senators grassley and johnson are very good, some of the best to try to get to these answers. but you know what, why doesn't the treasury department, forced if perhaps not by the department

of justice, why are they coughing up the 150 suspicious financial transactions that happened overseas to jim biden and hunter biden. these types of things that congressman, and jim jordan and other people want to see. the department of justice is getting in the way here. they should be facilitating these things, investigating these things. >> sean: they had the laptop longer than anybody. they've had it longer than anybody, they haven't done nothing with it. and what we know is in there, for everybody with the last name trump, i guarantee you it would have led to an indictment. am i wrong? >> no, you're absolutely right. there's a voice mail, there is email, text messages. 150 suspicious transactions, money flowing overseas. hunter biden going on pursuit, doing transactions in china, i mean in russia, romania, trying

to do deals in mexico and the united arab emirates, and the fbi sitting there doing absolutely nothing! we keep seeing this show over and over again, it's disgusting. >> sean: we don't have equal application of justice anymore. that should alarm every american, it really should but i don't see the solution any time in the near future. thank you both. the left's while rhetoric is a new low. publishing a draft obituary for justice alito who is still alive and you won't believe what one cnn columnist said about trump supporter's. that and much more, straight ahead. ♪ ♪

people talk about these supporters, g.o.p. candidates, calling them soulless and despicable. >> sean: and comparing them to bin laden supporters beauty stand back and look at the big picture. we discovered an assassination plot against justice kavanaugh, and then the incident where a guy says you are done and comes at him with a weapon to take him out, it looked like at least on video to me and he kept saying you're done, you are done. giving at the addresses of the justices and think about the schools addresses of the kids schools and then the church addresses and when they actually go church so it sounds like they actually want something horrible to happen, otherwise whiles would you do something like that? >> if i owned vox or i were its editor in chief, banks himself as a serious reporter, he would
