the climate, you under go anesthesia. surgery without anesthesia for the climate. have the thethe best night. we'll se tomorrow. [ applause ] welcome to hannity, we have a live studio audience tonight. tonight, congresswoman omar is now officially over of her service on tn committee. people are happy about that. [ applause ] >> she's not happy about it. today some people did something to her committee assignment and now she will be forced to spill

her hateful and anti-semitic rhetoric some where else. now, we have some news of hunter biden. hunter is now fighting back with a team around him or at least that's how the media mob is trying to spin it and letting it spinning it here and there and the doj. hunter's lawyer are asking joey to put an end into disinformation on materials on hunter biden's laptop. this is where it gets interesting. at the same time, hunter's camp is refusing to admit that the information on the laptop actually belongs to hunter even though one of the lawyers seem to indicate it was his laptop and that was his

information. is it or not according to his lawyers? we can't tell you what message his team is trying to convey. in other words, they're asking the government to stop the spread of hunter's materials without admitting that it is hunter's materials. i would normally say that's pretty dumb and stupid and not smart. but -- the fact that i have done this so many years, i suspect there is a legal strategy behind all of this and i think time will prove me right. now, this gives us a really good opportunity, we have been reaching out to everybody out there watching the show. we have been reaching out to hunter's legal team for quite some time through dozens of requests. my team on the show have requested about numerous reports and sadly, hunter's team they never want once at one time bother to get back to us. now they decided to start talking,

we have a few questions. actually, i can think over 100 just for tonight's show. we'll start tonight with five questions, and we'll do five tomorrow night. we'll do five probably in perpetuity. number one, here is the question that i would like to answer right now now that they are finally talking. why was hunter on the board of barisma and according to the u.s. senate finance report, despite having no experience in oil or gas or ukraine, hunter collected a huge monthly fee from burisma while his father was the vice president in charge of ukraine. on "gma," hunter admitted that he would not have been invited to join that board because he admitted he had no experience if he was not then the vice

president's son. my question is why was hunter paid a little smausmau small fortune to sit o burisma? what benefits did they expect to get? then vice president biden -- remember we saw the tape of this and i played it a lot during the trump/ukraine impeachment, i ididiocy of the left. was it s hours? oh, you are not getting the money. why would the vice president of the united states want a ukrainian prosecutor fired? now, according to investigator reporter, john solomon was investigating hunter and burisma for corruption. joe bragged in that tape, son of a b, to quote joe biden, he got them fired and ukraine got your

$1 billion. joe biden leveraged that money and he helped leverage it to fire the prosecutor that said in interviews who was looking at investigating his son. here is the question, was this joe biden's quid pro quo moment on ukraine. you may recall what the country went to. donald trump was on the president with zelenskyy and asking if he's not going to be like his predecessor a aandand squander his taxpaye money. here is our next question. why was hunter biden wired $3.5 million from a russian oligarch known as the former first lady of moscow as reported from the senate's homeland security committee. why? what did he do for the money? what experience did he had. according to the same

committee in 2013, hunter traveled with his father to china, a trip to asia. ten days later, the senate committee claimed they struck a lucrative deal with the bank of china despite his terrible reputation and lack clustered resume. so, what was the real figure? how did hunter land that kind of deal? what was joe biden's role? why would not china prefer to say more a say morsay morgan st ba babank -- or goldman sachs. how much money did hunter or future money promised or any other bidens made from the big deal from china. why did a chinese businessman give the biden's family $100,000 shopping spree as outlined in homeland

security. would anybody in the audience like $100,000 shopping spree? the structure of a business venture with the chinese energy company, quote, "10 for gym and ten for the big guy. " the big guy, is that a reference to biden? now, two years later, according to the new york post, hunter texted his own daughter that he was forsed to fork over half of his salary and give it to pops. pops would be his father, that would be joe. he said he would not do this to his own daughter. did hunter in real truth actually split his earnings with his father? if so, how much money was involved? if so, did joe declare all this on his taxes? is it fair to say hunter

implicated his own father and provering that joe biden lied to the country when he said during the campaign again and again that he never had a single conversation with his son, hunter, about his former business dealings. does all of this reek a potential for corruption? does this not highlight the need for oversight from the new republican congress? if any or all of this is true, here is the question that the country needs to answered for national security purposes. for this question or is this for joe, hunter's father. the big guy, is joe biden, are you compromised when it comes to russia? they are number two geopolitical foe. are you compromised? did your family with your knowledge do lucrative deals with china? our number one

foe. you may have noticed russians and china are more aggressive than they were in the trump's year by a long shot. there is a high altitude chinese spy balloon reportedly flying over the northern united states, by the way, somebody have a pin that they can shoot up in the air and take that balloon out in the sky if you are so convinced it is there. as far as we know, joe biden taken no action to disable that balloon. here is now reaction, our host, and friend, dan bonjino. we welcome you to the show. [ applause ] >> we have all of these forces and all of these unanswered questions. all of our calls were not returned. that does not surprise me. we try hard. we have a stack of e-mails that we sent. and my question is, dan, i would like to know what you think of all of this?

>> let me answer a couple of questions, pretty cool that you got a studio audience, i have to do that for my show so get names and numbers. >> >> >> >> >> r>p >> hanni idea. >> why not, you have been on the air for 40 years or something. i am a friend and at least i am modest about it. let's answer the first question you asked, why was hunter biden on the board of burisma? ukrainians were looking to leverage the point, joe biden, to get money from the united states. that's not it. that's not the only reason. if you listen to the dirt cash that were leaked with joe biden on the phone w -- joe biden appeared to be threatening them if they don't close the bank in ukraine, the imf loan

was support tens of billions of dollars. the bank he wants closed on the tape, here is the real kick in the teeth here. the bank is run by a guy who has a business tied to burisma. the number three guy is known as this guy's fixer. the bank was under investigation by the same prosecutor, joe biden, wanted fired. the bank is tied according to multiple reports to payments to hunter biden. so, just follow me for a second here. >> i am following. by the way, some of this is new information for me that i have not heard of. >> go ahead. >> it is tough to tie it together but it is all there. you can see it and it is all laid out and reporting that's already out there. joe biden is in a recording demanding this bank be closed that the prior ukrainian president and he says in the recording by the way,

colinmoske is a real pain. his guy, is hunter. the higher bank is sending money for hunter biden. that's the prosecutor investigating the bank that hunter biden is on tape and he wants fired. here is another kick on the teeth, the guy on stage at that counselor reform speech, his name is michael carpenter. he's the senior director at the pen/biden center where they found the classified documents according to reports about what? about ukraine. and biden gives him a shoutout after he demanded the guy to be fired. oh, michael knows, this is his territory. they all know. here is the dirty secret. ukraine was a big international piggy bank

and joe and hunter biden had their hands in this cookie jar, too. they wanted to get paid and paid big. >> this is the question we are most asked. we went through the entire trump/russia collusion of hoax and lie and we got it right on this program unpeeling every layer of the onion for nearly three years. but, they said they were wrong and they excoriated them on the issue of steele dossier, the question that i get asked the most is will there be justice? will they be held accountable? if there is a quid pro quo, will he protect his son? was that warrant impeachment they gave donald trump? >> well, will they be held accountable? not with merrick garland in charge. i encourage

everyone to read this article from 2017 from "politico," ukrainian's efforts to sabotage donald trump backfired. politico, january 11, 2017. you want to see the hoax and ukraine and classified documents and biden getting the prosecutor fired and his son in ukraine are all tied together. read this piece. they run from it now but i promise you it is still up online. the ukrainians played a key role in the russia hoax. trtrump knew about it and that why they wanted to impeach him. they knew about biden's grif in ukraine, too. >> thank you for being with us. now to capitol hill, congresswoman omar have been booted from the house affairs committee but not before some theatrics of the far-left

colleagues. where was this when marjorie taylor green and other republicans were denied any committee assignments. take a look. >> don't tell me this is about consistency. don't tell me this is about condemnation of an antanti-semitic remarks. don'tl me my life is threaten dz. >> the gop is doing what's best, recognizing hate against the black, beautiful woman. >> the gentleman's time is expired. >> to congresswoman omar, i am so sorry that our country is failing you today, through this chamber. >> the gentlewoman is no longer recognized. >> forget thenhy hysteria.

>> she was removed because of irresponsible and her ant anti-anti-semi anti-semitic rhetoric. omar also used jewish troves about money pushed conspiracy theories about jewish influenced over the u.s. government and according to omar, it is all about the benjamins, baby. and omar everyone compared the u.s. to al-qaida and suggested that many terror groups really are not that bad and no difference from the u.s. army. by the way, here she is laughing and smirking while one of her colleagues spoke about american troops being killed in iraq. who can ever forget when she described 9/11 as a time some people did some things. 2,977

people died today of the worst attack on american soils and people still dying from the aftermath. omar's conduct is rep prehenceable that her own colleague once introduced a resolution, they condemned her remarks. she was banned from the country of israel. people openly detest america are our allies, they have no place representing us on the world's stage of foreign affairs committee. [ applause ] all right, on the hannity's hot seat. let's give a warm hannity audience, well coour friend, herrera. and tammy bruce. p>> you are raising my bloo pressure. you are driving me knews. please tell me a woman that is spilling that hatred and

anti-semitism and he's allowed on committee. >> i disagree with your character aixaza characterization, my brother. she's a muslim woman and the first naturalized. >> how many people think she's ananti-sem anantti antanti anti-semitic? [ applause ] >> it does not hurt my feelings. i believe that you can not remove people from committees because of their personal views, otherwise, what are you going to have in congress? a bunch of ye yes, men? the vote to eject her was purely bipartisan. >> when marjorie taylor green was not allowed on a single

committee. where were those democrats standing up for her >> i absolutely agree with you. >> at least kevin mccarthy was allowed in congress and just not that one. >> the republicans are now under congresswoman nancy mace, today introducing a new rule that no member of any committee can be rejected again without due process. >> that's as of today. >> the big difference with this committee is she's on other committees. the foreign relations committee is ruled by the world as speaking effectively for congress. why do you think they were reacting so strongly? because of the influence that it gives you. it mattered to them. so, this is why the other committee assignments are not affected. this is what america stands for. is america anti-semitic? do we

hate the jews or hoping that israel is destroyed and comparing us and israel to terrorist groups. when you are sitting in the foreign relations committee and you have that group, there are people who hate the jews, they do. we need to take a stand and what happened today, she was checked. >> absolutely disagree. >> this is also important for other democrats who have been harmed. >> do we hate the muslims? >> you had your space and i love him, too. i have known him for a long, long time. >> jesus, you are ruining the show. >> we cand suspi disagree in th regard. this kind of rhetoric, jews hating rhetoric, it is not just being critical of israel. that's where she could not be objected. >> >> >> every single democrat

to keep her. every single republican voted to eject her. this was a pure partisan act. this is not about ability. this is about retribution. this is about you did it to marjorie taylor green. >> they were not allowed on any committee. >> tammy? >> if this was about retribution, she would be off all committees and democrats would be off all committees. you have to hand it to nancy pelosi, she did whatever she wanted to do and the republicans kind of let it happen. this is the proper thing to do. it was based in the nature of her comments and what people argued. >> i have a question. >> i absolutely disagree. >> i reject that character. >> was it the right decision to take -- i could not write it in a novel. was it the right

decision to take fang fang, bff off the intel committee? > no, my answer is no. >> you can't make judgments based on politics however you characterize it. >> it is all politics. >> fang fang was identified everywhere from china. >> kevin mccarthy said they got briefed on it. >> you are hanging out with a spy on china but you can be on the intel committee. >> believe me, look at the people in washington, d.c. >> oh, believe me, we got stories? >> after the show, >> all right, we got to role. love these guys both. they are great friends of the show. thank you, both. coming up, they have not stopped and you are not going to believe what one internal biden memo said, we'll tell you and we'll check in with charles pain and the one and

only, as we continue, thanks for being with us. [ applause ]

the biden administration efforts to control every aspect of your life is back in full force. why don't they believe in freedom? simple concept. the department of energy proposed a new deal yesterday. i like to cook. i don't like electric stoves, they sucked. they're claiming about reducing energy c cconsu

consumption. stoves are not efficient natural gas product. we have an abundant natural gas product, hundreds of years of our own supplies. get this, an internal memo from the consumer product safety commission reveals that team biden was totally on board with the idea of banning gas stoves back when it was first floated. but backed down amid the public uproar. joey is really standing on principles. what is this really about? why are they so held bent on telling you what kind of stove you can have and there is even pictures of jill biden cooking on a gas stove, lead my example. davo, switzerland and private jets telling us we can't eat meat. charles payne is here.

[ applause ] >> and jimmy falla is back here. by the way, jimmy, did you wear tthe tuxedo for me or charles? >> charles, why? we have an economy and you saw the story this week. two-thirds of americans and even americans making $100,000 a year, by the way, it is not their fault. they budgeted -- why is the government getting involved? what we cook on? leave us the hell alone. >> i heard you mentioned the davos in that crowd and the world economic forum, the ultimate control of not just america but of the western world by this group of elitists who have a get out of jail card free. they can fly on private

jets and cook on gas stoves. >> sure, sure. >> and they're making it legal illegal, it will be illegal 1 day to drive a combustion-engined car. did you see the news yesterday? >> which one? >> inflation reduction act, they had $37 billion set aside for these ev car companies. it is free money. you mean free money? >> $31 trillion, we are $31 trillion in debt. no, we are robbing our kids and grand kids. jimmy, i love your jacket. >> i look like the oldest guy in the boy band, don't i? i look like i am in the boy band called wrong direction. this guy is a little bit of a mess. i gained so much weight over the holiday, i want somebody to take away my

stove like the stove in the mike wave. the guest stove is a scam. my guest stove identifies as electric so there is nothing they can do. [ applause ] >> it took me a second, i was a hair behind you. i got you now. i saw that on one of the social media memedia sites, what does government have in our business? we are in new york city. think about this. there are more people, there is more murder, mayhem, you know, no bail laws and defund is dismantled, it is hurting americans and they are worried about my stoves? >> we are living in a city where 700 people a day get thrown in front of the subway but more importantly, there is as betty crocker easy-bake and i will be damn. >> this could be a boom for the

george foreman grill. >> we are bringing it back. >> i think charles will agree with this. that the stove ban is a precursor to get people to ban gas cars. nobody wants to do it. >> it is already putting time stamped on it, right? it is all going to be illegal. they want to suck it out. the idea is what's the alternative? i heard you talking about -- >> don't turn it to throw these jack asses out of office and bring in new people. >> we have to throw them out quickly because these ideas don't spring up. you talk about the trial balloon that was lit up by trump jr. they sprinkled them into our kids school and start putting in movie plots here and there. it feels like they popped up over night. when they come up, they have already been rooted and nurtured. at some point the american public

have to have some sort of massive epiphany. it is maybe the apolitical household. people are so afraid of your point that they are not spending money anymore. they feel a title wave of pain coming and even more pain coming. regular folks know know this and they see it. on their own, they try to do what they can. >> i knew in my early adult life for a lot of years it was hard to pay rent and i struggle every month and nobody believes me at this point in my career. i had a hard time going to mcdonald's. i made meatloaves for the week. some of best years of my life. people are struggling. they're not thinking of how to provide prosperity and capitalism. what is it that they don't believe about capitalism. >> it is so tone-deafed. it is

never the priority of the voters. in the city where inflation really is crushing low income families, and people are struggling to pay goods on the bodega, nobody is sitting around thinking of a stove. the biggest climate change bill in history got passed under a different name. nobody wanted it. they called it the inflation reduction act. that's the scam of climate change. their priority and not yours. jimmy and charles, good friends of the show, thank you for coming in. [ applause ] >> the biden administration can't get out of their own way as they wrap up another embarrassing week. we'll play the tape, the one and only steven a. smith is here and we'll get a super bowl prediction, straight ahead.

[ applause ] >> what, what? >> what's up. >> great to see you. you got a studio audience in here and they came out here in the cold weather to see you and

you don't even have a shirt with a tie. what's going on with that, man? where is the tie, man? >> i was going to defend you. and i saw them attacked you, what was all that about? >> oh please, they're just having a good time. >> i did an hour and a half on your book, they would not stop talking about steven a. smith. his background was unbelievable. he and i text all the time. you have tim tebow. >> he's my friend. >> no, he's not. >> you have been mean to him for years. >> i just point pd out that he could not throw when he was quarterback. he could run and play and when we came to espn as an analyst, he did an extraordinary job. >> his philanthropy -- >> oh, i am leaving it alone. >> we text each other all the time and you won't admit that

joe biden is a cognitive mess. are you going to tell me that guy that said half the women in my administration are women? >> first of all -- >> are you going to defend that? >> no, i am not going to defend that. that was a mixed up. >> a mixed up? >> a mistake. >> here is my point. >> the man is 80. now, there are people in their 80s and older that speak more fluently and a bit sharper and i get all of that. the man had a stuttering problem. you had guys with epilepsy and a learning disability. what i have said is we had presidents in the united states that have had some issues. plus, he's 80. >> i got a question. do you think he knows today is thursday? yes. sean. i do believe he knows today is thursday. >> you do? >> that does not mean he's not going to make a mistake on friday. >> okay. >> by the way --

>> it is almost a guarantee he's going to make a mistake on friday unless he's at a beach. >> by the way, his predecessor made some mistakes when he spoke, i didn't hear you said anything. >> i like this guy. >> how many think this guy is a complete cognitive man? >> will you be nice? [ applause ] >> how many think that and how many agree with steven a. that i am not being nice. >> ladies and gentlemen, nobody clap. none of us are getting younger. we understand there is a level of fluidity that we wish he had from time to time. we get all of that. he gives you enough ammunition with some of his policies, why don't you stick with that? >> i rather save america instead of his mess ups and screw ups and horrible pollties. do you think america is better off since he's been president looking at inflation and independence and our border, do you think the world respects and fears joe biden the way they did donald trump? >> that's very specific.

>> no. i will be honest, that's my feeling. obviously, there are liberals and progressives feeling otherwise. i am in the middle. ii ii am ii ii a centrist. i am going to tell you right now, i don't like the excessive spending. that comes back to bite us as a nation. i pay attention to that and issues involving national security. that's very, very important to me. i don't like what i am seeing with that. no doubt about that. i think his heart is in the right place and tries to do the right thing. whether or not he's doing that depends on which side he's leaning on. you keep on missing and i keep on telling you this. you have a lot of people. >> you take notes. >> you are under the impression that a lot of people don't know better. what i am saying is a lot of people want the country to be in the direction that he's in. you may feel differently and i may feel differently. some people actually want what's happening. >> there are way too many people in this country that want socialism. socialism -- i wrote

a chapter in my last book is free or die. whatever form of man man ma manmamanistat man man ma manmamanion -- >> let me tell you of what somebody said and i defended you. when you say socialism, i think there is another category. there are some people who don't oppose capitalism, they just believe that they don't have eck quitable shot of capitalism. >> you agree that everybody plays by the rules and providing goods and services of people's needs and desires -- >> i think that contends. >> i love your book and i love you as a man. steven a smith.

a terrible story out in washington, d.c., a group of catholic school students were thrown out of the museum during their visit and they were thrown out wearing hats that had a pro-life message on them. the message read, "rosary pro-life," they were thrown outside of the museum. the museum did release a statement saying what happened was not in line with their

policy and they provided training to prevent this ever happening again and keep in mind ththese smithsonian receiving $1 million a year. welcome both of you, patrick, i am fond of that name, that's my son's name. okay, tell us what happened. >> yes, so we got done with th march for life and we decided to go the air and space museum, we walk in and it is a breeze. we go through in 30 minutes and we end up at the flight brothers museum or the exhibit. and, at this time, we are dressed by two women in all black presumably security guards and they tell

i i in-directly saying all of the students wearing pro-life hats, take it off. one of the students with us, saying, we used these hats for identification. the two women blew us off and we walked out. after that, we decided to sit against the wall and approached by a large man as we were walking out because we had to catch our bus. >> right. >> he comes up to us saying y'all are about to make my day. with a massive smile on his face. >> wow. >> and he tells us he's got reports saying we said no to taking our hats off. we are in trouble for some odd reasons. and, one of the students saying it is used for identification. he was not having it. i then said -- >> keep going. >> yeah, i then said this is a

violation of our first amendment right, this is a government-funded building. how are we paying for this with our taxes and i am not allowed to wear this hat. >> i got to give you credit. >> he said this is as neutral zone, and that does not apply here, and we were blown away. we had no words. >> i am running out of time, patrick. i want to hear about the legal side, i am very proud for what you did and you stood your ground. jordan, legally, does the statement mean anything to you, what are you going to do? i want to help the acl win this? >> absolutely. legal action is imminent. we put them on notice to save anything. they did a training afterwards. we want to know about the training before and they didn't apologize to these students. we are going to get to the bottom of it. we suspect now that we have gone

public, we'll hear from more people who attended march for life, who have been harassed. they were never to do it. that's not the smithsonian's policies, we are fighting back. we want to hear from you. >> i want to help you on this case and we'll follow until the end. jordan, great to see you and patrick, great job. we are proud of you. once we come back, this audience, they get the final word, they get to grade me. that's next, straight ahead.
