tonight we are tracking multiple breaking stories including bombshell new allegations from a former irs whistleblower about your president joe biden, hunter biden, and at least one high ranking biden official. will you love this breaking news tonight. also new information about the biden family syndicate you did not know about, although with an explosive exchange between congresswoman marjorie taylor greene and eric swalwell. that's all coming up. oh, and don lemon's latest public meltdown. and i'm saying don't fire don lemon. because nobody will get lower ratings. keep him right where he is. [cheers and applause] >> sean: we start with this bit of news i think you'll all like it. a big huge loss in court today for manhattan da alvin bragg. [cheers and applause] >> sean: a huge win for the rule of law and tonight in court a federal judge denied bragg's request to stop the house judiciary committee from issuing a subpoena to one of bragg's

former prosecutors the guy that wrote the book mark pom rants. barring any appeals he will have to testify. he doesn't seem to like donald trump and recently worked under da bragg. you might not know this. he was working for free, because obviously he had an agenda. people should not be working for free. he didn't collect a paycheck while working on the case against donald trump. now, that should not be allowed legally in any way, shape, manner or form. he later wrote this book about his desire to see donald trump behind bars. but don't let your heart be troubled bragg swears that political bias has absolutely nothing to do with these, quote, unintended trumped up charges. we're going to get to my full monologue p mere moments, but let's give a warm welcome to our legal analysts joining us from outnumbered cohost emily compagno is here. how are you? good to see you [cheers and applause]. >> sean: and author of the soon

to be best seller trial of the century fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. emily why should anybody be able to work for free in a da's office knowing they're there for one reason to go after one man one organization and one family. >> that's right. i love what happened today, the judge took bragg to school. he said you admitted you used federal if you understand so absolutely congress can investigate whether those if you understand were used appropriately. she said congress has broad and inintensable powers to investigate whether they are going to propose new legislation and she said, what are you doing trying to claim privilege now about a book that pom rants already published that you had no problems with when he published it. and she said finally, you know, you are engaging in exactly the kind of political theater you claim to fear. so, yes, we will see pom rants tomorrow at 10:00 and yes we will deny your motion. >> sean: i agree on all sides. let's going gregg jarrett involved. gregg, what do you say? >> well, as i plea dicked in two

columns and on your air this was doomed to fail. it was a desperate bid by alvin bragg to cover up and conceal his own wrong doing by bringing an dement against trump that is unsupported by the law, contradicted by the facts and politically driven. and the judge saw right through it. she said, are you kidding me? there are several federal matters that justify a congressional investigation. you used federal if you understand to investigate trump, and in effect your indictment interferes in an upcoming federal election. but it was always so stupid and ludicrous for that guy on the screen, alvin bragg, to say, oh, if you make pom rants, my assistant, testify he'll have to disclose highly sensitive secret confidenceal information. well, i mean, that's so laughable because he already did that in a 300 page book that was little more than a personal and

venomous screed against donald trump and disclosing, openly admitting that they brought the case for political reasons. they hated trump personally and they despised his policies. and the judge actually went so far as to say today that pomerantz has placed himself in criminal liability. so tomorrow is he going to take the fifth? is he going to claim some privilege that has already been waived by his book? stay tuned for that. >> sean: is there any other penalty or any other remedy, you know, and i go back to this point, emily answered this question. i do not believe you can have people volunteer to investigate one person, one organization, one family. there's something corrupt about that practice. that seems to need to come to an end, gregg jarrett. >> yes. and there's a lot more. i'm reminded of the district attorney in north carolina who

brought the phoney case against the duke lacrosse players by conspiring to withhold exculpatory evidence showing the defendants were innocent. you've got a key witness who testified before the grand jury that alvin bragg did that, and ended up disgraced disbarred and briefly behind bars held in criminal contempt of court. in my judgment, not only should bragg face disbarment proceedings but the judge should seriously consider a nyfong-like criminal contempt charge against him [cheers and applause]. >> sean: that's a good point. the judge said a valid legislative purpose as it relates to bragg showing up, because they're using federal if you understand. now, the issue is, can the republican congress defund any money going to the manhattan da? would they be able to isolate that money? >> they absolutely could because the power of the purse is solely within congress. i fear that as of now they can't

claw back any if you understand already distributed but they can certainly, which is what they're doing, investigate any improper use of it. and that is what they're doing in part exactly here in addition to, again, proposing potential future litigation so this doesn't happen again. but look for there to be pressure from all sides to gregg's point. not only from congress, power of the purse, but also the criminal liability for that and this pressure coming from the state courts to say, we don't want tht da here and this is why. he is a blatant perfect version of justice frankly and as a new yorker that lives here now, seeing my tax dollars --. >> sean: i'm so sorry to hear that. >> i'm sorry, too. to see the waste of my tax dollars i'm heartened by today ace hearing that at least on the federal side they're looking to be appropriate to you ard of such. >> sean: these are the only normal people left in new york in the studio [cheers and applause] >> sean: emily compagno thank you, greggier et thank you >> we go to a fox news alert breaking tonight, a government whistle blower has shocking allegations about joe biden,

your president. now chuck todd fake jake tapper, ra ra rachel mad you do huge conspiracy especially on the trump russia hoax that never happened. let me say this slowly so they can understand. there is a new government whistle blower that has serious allegations against joe biden your president -- remember, you all love the hearsay whistle blower, remember, in the case ukraine against donald trump, it was only asking president zelenskyy to please be responsible with taxpayer dollars. all right. all of the so-called journalists, there are none at msdnc and all the so-called journalists, there are none at fake news cnn they revered government whistle blowers or so they said. at least they did three years ago. and yet somehow i think they're going to find a way to totally ignore this one. now just the news.com broke this story. foxnews.com has it the wall

street journal has it. a senior irs supervisor is now seeking official whistle blower protection. i'm sure these other networks will join me in saying that is the right thing to do. now since 2020, this supervisor has been overseeing the ongoing and sensitive investigation of a high-profile controversial subject. his name, zero experience hunter biden. now, remember hunter is under federal investigation for money laundering, tax evasion. but according to the whistle blower, hunter is receiving, quote, preferential treatment, thanks to the big guy, that would be his dad, the guy that takes half his income, pops. the unnamed irs supervisor claiming to have evidence showing quote politics improperly affecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals in any similar circumstance if the subject were not politically connected. now, this evidence also purportedly contradicts sworn

testimony from a senior biden official. in other words, hunter now, we can see and we've talked about this a lot. hunter's above the law, right? the administration's been lying to your face. i never once talked to hunter about his foreign business dealings. that was a big lie. but it also proves and this should scare every american, i don't care if you're a liberal, conservative, democrat, republican, we need equal justice under the law, equal application of our laws [cheers and applause] >> sean: and sadly, i will report tonight, equal justice and application of our laws is dead in the united states of america. listen to john solomon's interview with the attorney that is representing this really important whistle blower. take a look. >> he's been working diligently on a high profile case, and i can't even talk to what case that is, put that together. but he was concerned that things that he -- he would attend

meetings in this investigation, and he was concerned about some statements by senior political appointee from the department of justice that contradicted what he knew to be the facts of the case. >> sean: so don't make a mistake here. if hunter was anybody in this crowd or anyone any of you watching at home or god forbid one of the trump children they would probably be in jail right now or at least charged with a crime. but because his last name is biden he can do whatever he wants, he can skip on payings taxes, he can lie on a gun application, we have evidence of his smoking crack cocaine and paying for hookers anytime he wants. no consequence if your last name is biden. this storient isn't about hunter, it's about his pops, joe, the big guy, the sleazy excuse for your president right now and the bureaucrats who have now turned our system of justice

into a political charade by weaponizing the doj, because the fbi's been politicized. if you are a democrat, if your last name is biden, if your last name is clinton, the laws simply don't apply to you. but if you are a republican and you have the last name trump, you better cross every t and dot every i. because we are now, currently, in this country, every single day with unequal justice under the law, we are shredding our precious constitution. we're destroying this great democratic republican. with democrats in charge, it will only get worse. here with the full report editor and chief of just the news.com, john solomon. john, thank you and welcome back to the program. >> good to be with you. >> tucker: all right. we've been through a lot of investigations. you were a part of our small ensemble cast we got the russian collusion hoax right the rest of the mob in the media got it wrong. tell us about this whistle blower, when will we hear from

them and what do they know? >> began working on this in december and for the weather forecast four months put together all the different pieces. this is a senior investigative agent he supervises other agents supervising the team on the delaware us attorney to investigate hunter biden. in last fall he came to learn two appointees of joe biden, two us attorneys in two different cities, declined to bring criminal charges recommended by the investigators, by the us attorney wise and green lighted by the tax division inside the justice department. so everyone's on board except the two political appointees and their unwillingness to bring the charges have brought the case to a standstill. in the course of the conversations he learned that the u.s. attorney in delaware had told his team, hey, i'm getting blocked appear i've gone to the justice department to be upgraded to be a special counsel and i was told no. he then watched as attorney general merrick garland

testified before senator grassley a few weeks ago and said senator, the u.s. attorney in delaware has the authority, he can do anything, there's no political interference. the whistle bluer knew that was a false statement and went to the treasury inspector general then to the justice department secretary general and today his lawyer mark who you just played comments from in my interview sent a letter to congress saying he's prepared to give what he gave to the inspector general to congress. this man doesn't just have eyewitness accounts, he has e-mails, government memos, summary memos. he has all the receipts chronicling what's going on and what his own lawyer calls political interference and preferential treatment in the hunter biden case. >> sean: democrats i don't think i thought democrats loved whistle blowers do they november love them anymore. >> we'll see if they love them. >> sean: have they fallen out of favor in this day and age. >> we'll find out quickly. what's interesting about this whistle blower is he doesn't want to just hang out with pes

are. he wants to face the music and look democrats and republicans and independents in the eye so he sent this letter to the democratic side, he sent it to the republican side. he's not afraid to confront the adam sheriff's and eric swalwells and jokesters who gave us the bogus stories the last four years. the reason he's so confident he has the receipts and contemporaneous documents it's not going to be in doubt what he presents to congress because it's already presented to the ig. the ig has an extensive investigation going on now. >> sean: let me ask you john, this is important information. you reported earlier in the week that congress had tomorrow morning that the biden campaign was behind that letter. now, everybody may remember 51 former intel people saying before the 2020 presidential election that, oh, no, it had all the ear marks of being russian disinformation. all right, so you put out this week that congress had the testimony, that the biden campaign was behind that letter

information that the 51 intel officials calling the laptop disinformation. okay, here's my question. do you know who in the biden administration is responsible? because you didn't say that part. >> yes. so i've been working on it since the last time i reported. by the way that information came frm jim jordan on the record, no doubt about witness, he was very clear. we have learned in the last 24 hours that secretary of state antony blinken was the person who called mike more he will and encouraged him one of the organizers of the letters one of the signatories of the letters and said i need you to get this done. that information is likely to become public in the next week when some information is trans mitteded to other bodies. >> sean: let me interrupt you. i want to be clear. >> yes. >> sean: so winking tony blinken. you are telling this audience. this is important. you are telling them that he was given the job to get former intel officials to sign a letter

saying that the hunter biden laptop was likely disinformation, when none of them had any information, independent information that would have correspond rob rated that. is that what you're saying? that this was a political operationally led by one of joe biden's closest allies that eventually becomes secretary of state? any chance of a quid pro quo on top of that? >> so, well, listen at the time this was going, go back and look at the articles, it was floated at that time that mike morrell was on the short list to be cia director. he's organizing this letter in the context of those discussions, he ultimately gets bumped from that list. what i'm saying and i'll be very specific, jim jordan used the word political, this was a political operationally not an intelligence operationally. what his testimony was according to u.s. officials who briefed me on it the last 24 hours is antony blinken called and got him involved geting the letter out there and then a second person nick shapiro former assistant to john brennan former

cia director got it to the media. we're going to see what nick shapiro and mike told the committees but us officials know what mike morrell told the committee and identified antony blinken as one of the people who got involved will this letter. >> sean: i want to add one thing. i want to know what joe biden did and what he knew. great job >> now on capitol hill where marjorie taylor greene fang fang eric swalwell watch this. >> do you believe all of us have a responsibility to denounce anti-semitism and anti-police rhetoric in this country so jewish americans and police officers can be safer? >> congressman, i do. >> thank you, i yield back. >> the gentleman yields and now i recognize the gentle lady from

georgia, ms. green. >> that was quite entertaining from someone that had a sexual relationship with a chinese spy, and everyone knows it. >> i move to take her words down. >> the gentleman will state the words that he wishes taken down. >> everything that the gentle lady has said. >> no. you need to be more specific. >> the accusations of an affair with the chinese spy. those are engaging in personalities, and those words should be taken down, and the gentle lady should not be able to speak anymore in this she go. >> the chair recognizes the gentle lady from georgia and asks if she would like to retract those words. >> no, i will not. [cheers and applause] >> sean: now, of course poor little eric swalwell is not the only democrat who benefiteded from china. here with the very latest revelations and he is making a ton progress, his investigation into the biden family syndicate,

he is the chairman of the very powerful important house oversight government reform committee, and that would be james comer. welcome to the set congressman. >> thanks for having me [cheers and applause] >> sean: i'm going to give you the ball and let you run with it. we now have nine biden family members, six additional members now, so nine in total, that we know benefited financially from the deals that hunter biden was involved until. hunter biden implicates his own father and complains that he has to give half his income to pops, he complains about paying for pop's repairs. we know he was referred to as the big guy. my question to you is this. now that we have all the biden family members implicated, now that you now have been able to follow the money and the suspicious activity reports, tell us where we are in this investigation and where are we now headed? because what you said to me on radio this week was defies

stating for the bidens. >> yeah. sean as you know we went into the treasury assuming that there were four or five biden family members involved in this biden family influence peddling scheme. we assumed there were about a dozen banks. we assumed there were a certain number of suspicious activity reports. what we quickly learned from going through the thousands of pages of bank violations that this family was involved in, there are nine biden family members and counting, sean. there are at least two others that i would bet money on will be implicated before long. there are many more banks that were involved. there were many more llcs that were involved. this was a family enterprise. but the llc, sean, they don't appear to be legitimate businesses. their sole purpose, from what my analysis is thus far is they were just used to try to disguise or launder, however you want to describe it, where the source of the revenue was, and

the source was, you know, places like the chinese communist party, places, countries that honestly have worse reputations than china. and they went to great lengths to try to hide the fact that can this money was coming in to the bidens by transferring it to many accounts. the banks picked up on this. that's why they filed bank violations. and then they went directly into biden family members personal accounts. it wasn't perceived capitol like the biden lawyers are trying to claim. and when they talk about legitimate businesses, sean, i have jet to find a legitimate business. i found a lot of llcs. we continue to find more. but, you know, sean you and i can form an llc and call it hannity and comer energy. that doesn't mean we're in the energy business, we just have an llc with the word energy in it and we haven't found any legitimate businesses. >> sean: hunter biden himself

went on gma and he was asked do you have any experience in oil, gas, coal, energy? nope, nope, nope, nope. experience with ukraine? no. why do you think though paid you all this money? i don't know. and then the interviewer says maybe because your daddy was the vp in charge of ukraine policy? and he goes probably. so the question is here, we're talking about some of our biggest geopolitical foes. we're talking about russia, we're talking about china. you've said over a dozen countries. how much money, do we know how much money in business the biden family did with hostile regimes and how much money they put in their pocket at the end of the day? and my last question, it's part of a long question is, do you believe the president of the united states is compromised by these countries that we know hate our guts? >> i'll answer the second question. i don't see how joe biden could not be compromised. i mean, these family members aren't energy experts. they weren't on boards.

at least with burisma hunter actually sat on a board. there are no other boards that we can find that these family members sat on. certainly not the grandchildren and the nieces and the nephews and the in-laws and things like that. so what were they doing? why were they getting this much money? it all points back to joe biden, and we're going to continue until we get the truth to the american people. but i can say this, sean, the walls are closing in on the biden family. [cheers and applause]. >> sean: congressman james comer we appreciate you being with us. thank you >> coming up we're going to get to the bottom of the endless covid lies. senator marco rubio introducing a bill to hold the cdc accountable. he'll explain when we come back straight ahead. thanks for being with us. ♪ introducing astepro allergy. now available without a prescription. astepro is the first and only 24-hour steroid-free spray. while flonase takes hours,

♪ [cheers and applause] >> sean: all right, tonight new details about that infamous lab in wuhan tasked with studying gain of function research in coronaviruses before the pandemic. now, this is amazing. judicial watch, i have the paper right here in front of me, i put it on hannity.com, you can read it yourself. i'll center it for the audience at home. now, they released a trove of documents related to an organization named the ecohealth alliance. you heard me talk about this before. it details its role in funding the research with the help of, of course, the guy running the nih, that would be your friend dr. anthony fauci and our very own federal government [boo]. >> sean: now according to one document a specific game of research i'll let you judge, the

specific game was testing virus interspecies transmission. very interesting. they mention the word human as well. i'll get to that. quote, creating mutant viruses to identify how significantly each would need to evolve to enter human cells. what could possibly go wrong with this science, right? now, of course, we all know what went wrong. we reached out to the ecohealth alliance for comment they denied. the judicial watch rereport and told us they did not support gain of function research in wuhan and that the research that did not happen there could not possibly have started covid. really? anyone here believe that? >> nope? no! >> joining us with more florida senator marco rubio who has now introduced legislation to hold our government accountable for its role in this disaster [cheers and applause]. >> sean: senator, i have what the people of the ecohealth alliance put out. they say they didn't support

gain of function research. okay. i'm not a scientist but i will say this. why, in fact, did the nih get a penny, a single scent for a wuhan virology lab in china, our number one geopolitical foe? number two, it sounds like they're playing with fire when you read the actual document and the drop by judicial watch. and, three, you know, i believe that we were lied to from the very beginning, that anthony fauci, the people that were telling us that this was a wet market issue and not a virology lab issue, were lying to us. what do you say? >> well, we're actually going to have more information. we're putting the finishing touches on, the report that was released yesterday was actually even more evidence the fact that something more was going on in china. we're going to put it out there we just have to get it cleared. something was going on in china well before it was ncat that

there was anything going on and it adds credence to the whole lab leak theory. it's not just wuhan, there's a second place there called the wuhan institute of health also involved in this. this is a place that's had repeated accidents in the past. and so i think there's every reason to suspect that these two labs working on this kind of stuff also happened to be in the city where it began and have accidents in the past. i think the likelihood that -- i agree with the fbi on this one. i agree with the department of energy on this one. the likeliest outcome here is this was a lab accident covered up by the chinese that have of course destroyed the world. and i want to make one other point because you talk about the experts in general. you were talking with john solomon, these are former intel officials. we have these industries now, former officials specifically in intelligence but also in health who after they leave government service go out there and offer opinions, sometimes her paid and sometimes to help a candidate and they undermine confidence, and we saw it with healthcare,

covid, and intelligence with some of the political activities that happened in 2020. >> sean: senator let me read to you because we're talking about american tax dollars here and their initial application for federal assistance, the eco alliance put out there that they wanted to propose, to examine the transmission dynamics of bat confuse across the human/wildlife interface and how this process is affected by covids or coronaviruses evolution area potential and how it might force its evolution and, quote, we will assess the nature of the frequency of contact among animals and people in two critical human animal interfaces. now, it sounds to me like they're playing with fire here. >> right. >> sean: and, again, we're talking about american tax dollars, millions of them, going with anthony fauci's approval, he's running the nih through this eco alliance group, they

say they're not involved in gain of function, but that sounds to me like they are playing a very, very dangerous game and we now know the result of that game, don't we? >> yeah. so they can call it whatever they want. they can deny it's gain of function. here's a that means in english what you just read. it means that these are people saying we wonder what will happen if this virus pugh tates to something infectious in humans. and they argue we need that because if we can predict how it pugh tates we can make a vaccine ahead of time. to do that you have to mess up a virus, what if messing with it gets infected by it and they go home and give it to people and spreads like wildfire. >> sean: senator didn't anthony fauci say at the time and other government officials say at the time that it most likely came from a wet market where they sold bats and other campath i can animals? >> yeah, here's the thing, sars and mers and all the other they've been able to produce the animal, within three, four, five months here's the animal and the

infection. to date they have yet to come forward and say here's the animal infected with this exact virus. they have not done that. in all these other infections, this is the one they can't do it. you add that up with all the other things you start to conclude this probably was, in fact, a lab leak accident. someone got inif he canned, it now has spread across the world and a totalarian government in china doesn't want the world to know about it. >> and the american taxpayer foot part of the bill. >> and some of our scientific community went along with it not going out there because they agree with the research they think it's a risk we have to take. >> sean: 20 12 anthony fauci said he supported gain of function research even if it resulted in a worldwide pandemic. and this was 2013, the first initial application by ecohealth alliance. >> he was ahead of his time then, he predictedd the future right there by doing that. >> sean: senator rubio please do us all a favor, the country a

favor. please get to the bottom of this. >> we'll have more next week. >> sean: straight ahead joe biden's economic policies are wreaking havoc on you the american people. that did not stop him from trying to actually tout his economy in a, well, joe biden typical blunder-filled speech earlier today. we have the low lights, larry kudlow right in studio straight ahead. ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪

♪ [cheers and applause] >> sean: all right, your president joe biden, this is probably the rowdyest crowd we've ever had. i'm just saying [cheers and applause] >> sean: all right. joe biden laid out his plan to raise the debt ceiling during a

big speech in maryland today. he actually got in a plane and went really far. maryland. by the way, it did not go well. what a shock, he always does so well when he speaks. take a look. >> $400 billion. $400 billion. it's not just because i grew up with y'all, it's because it's true. you know, when i speak to the business round table and the muckedy mucks. growing up i didn't see a lot trickle down to our kitchen table. how that happen? you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. how did that happen? okay, well guess what? you're now paying thrive bucks instead of five hundred bucks a month for that insulin. god love ya man.

eight, e-i-g-h, percent. >> sean: now on top of that brilliant plan he also wants to hike fees on your mortgages for home buyers with good credit scores in order to give discounts to people with bad credit scores. sounds like a housing crisis in the making. by the way, in the green new deal paradise of california, now utility customers, they're going to start paying the amount of their bill based on their income, not usage. the more you make, the more you pay. the less you make, the less you pay. here with more, the number one host along with stuart varney on the fox business network, larry kudlow. [cheers and applause] >> sean: all right, so 70% of americans can't stand the situation with the economy. we have nearly two-thirds of the country living paycheck to

paycheck. we now have 25% of the country, they can't put enough food on their table and they need assistance for that. that's a lot of people. on top of it, he's raised taxes on oil, gas, coal, pensions and corporations that put those taxes onto we the people, the consumers. i don't see how we ever get out of this, larry, because he's not changing anything. >> well, he's not going to get us out of it. i mean grown-ups have to come and get us out of that. he's not grown [cheers and applause] >> but i just want to say today you had this great contrast. kevin mccarthy, who is one of the best politicians in the country, gave a very good talk on the floor of the house with a good plan to raise the debt ceiling and, most importantly, to cut the budget in order to curb inflation and promote growth and help middle income families. now, he put that out there. biden comes in with this maryland speech, unserious, wine

whining, complaining, all this will stale maga stuff that has no meaning and starts launching into class warfare about tax cuts which by the way the trump tax cuts were enormously successful for middle income people. listen, this debt ceiling stuff is going to be a front-page story. we're running short of revenues. the day is coming when the treasury department cannot stop borrowing anymore. so joe biden has gone now, what did you say 76 days. >> sean: 76 days he will not talk to republicans. >> he will not talk. i mean they should have a cup of coffee, a diet coke, go to a drive-in movie. do something for christ's sakes. he won't do it. so it's utterly irresponsible for him. and i just want to say, mccarthy's speech -- hang on one second. mccarthy's peach, right, puts caps on spending which is so

important, okay. >> sean: great. >> opens the spickets for fossil fuels work requirements on programs, stops the student loan forgiveness plan and basically says no more bureaucratic regulations without a congressional vote. these are constructive, positive, pro-growth things and biden refused to answer any of them. he had an unserious speech. he's not a real president right now. he is losing badly in the polls. he's not a real president. >> sean: okay, so i'm going to add the political component and give you the last 30 seconds and the political component is simple. all 222 republicans need to get behind that plan, and they need to not budge. if joe biden won't meet with them, won't compromise, won't adapt, won't adjust, and they're going to tell us but the full faith and credit of the u.s. government is in jeopardy, joe

biden should have meant with kevin mccarthy. >> they'll get their 218 votes. the other thing, fannie mae and freddy mack, if you had a good credit store and good down payment you get penalized by the biden administration in order to give money to those who can't afford it. we had this crisis in 2008 and they're going to repeat that. this is another example of biden punishing success instead of rewarding success and this country is made up of people who should be rewarded for their successes. >> sean: agreed. well said. the last thing i'm going to say is, all of this is rooted in their climate alarmist religious cult. >> yes, yes. >> sean: and the fact that they have unilaterally disarmed on the issue of the economy, because we stopped domestic energy independence. that is the biggest factor. >> probably. >> sean: but you have ten seconds, nine. >> we're going to end the internal combustion engine without a vote. that is not a good thing.

we should open the spickets return to energy independence and global as well. >> sean: larry kudlow. >> coming up really got under don lemon's skin as the two sparred on fake cnn. we'll have the highlights and will join us straight ahead. ♪ ...thanks to dupixent. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. and can help improve lung function for better breathing in as little as two weeks. dupixent helps prevent asthma attacks... and can even reduce or eliminate oral steroids. imagine that. ♪ dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. get help right away if you have rash, chest pain,

>> sean: earlier this morning 2024 republican date vivek swamy sat down with an interview with cnn's don lemon. don't worry nobody was watching so we'll show the world what happened. and the two sparred over a

number of topics including the second amendment. needless to say don lemon did not maintain his composure. he has issues with impulse control. take a look. >> to say black people today compared to 1964 65 haven't made progress because of the freedoms we secured and the second amendment -- >> i cannot keep a thought if you're talking to me in my ear. hang on. to say black people -- say again, it's insulting that you're sitting here, whatever ethnicity you are explaining to me about what it is like to be black in america i'm city. >> i'm an indian american i'm proud of it but i think we should have this debate black, white, doesn't matter. >> if you're going to do it do it in an honest way. >> 2024 gop presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy. how are you? >> good sean how are you? >> sean: all right. so you did such good work, nobody watched it. i wanted people to actually see

that go down. i think don is clearly past his prime. >> i think so. the reality is, it was actually kind of fun, i'm going to admit that. but i think beyond just the fan aspect of defeating don lemon in a debate the more important part is we have this culture in our country. >> sean: did you say don le-moan? >> yeah. i think it's a sad state a of affairs where people think they can't speak their minds freely because of the color of their skin. what don lemon told me was i couldn't say something because i was black. i reject that. we need to speak truth no matter our skin color and when we learn about our history we are he a all a little bit better off. the second amendment was crucial to secures civil rights in this country and that's what i taught him today and i hope more americans learn it regardless of the color of their skin. >> sean: my belief in god, my faith teaches us we were all created by the same god.

we all have the same father, and we have a choice between good and evil in our lives and you make choices every day. and that would be the brotherhood of christianity that i believe in. i thought it was a powerful point, but fake news cnn is out there telling the world that they are fair, balanced and objective and he claims to be a journalist. does he sound like a journalist to you? he sounds like a talk show host to me. >> i think journalism has gone down the tubes in the main stream media which is a reason i'm making it a point in this campaign to go to the other side's turf and win. i travel college campuses across this country and i'm hopeful sean, forget the media hosts on main stream media when i look at the next generation of americans, many of them think they adopt these woke policies but when i talk to them across the country, what i see is they're hungry for purposes and meaning and identity. and we in the conservative movement, the pro american movement, can give them to them but they flock to tv hosts but i

have hope for the country. >> sean: everybody knew donald trump before he ran for president. not many people knew you. what makes you think you can beat the top names in the republican party and grab that nomination? >> sean we were starting at 0.0% now 3% nationally about exactly where donald trump was when he came down that escalator. >> sean: but everybody knew donald trump. >> that's true. that's exactly true. >> sean: i had heard of you but i didn't know you well. so you really think, you're in this to win this nomination. i want to be clear about that. >> yes. i am in this to win this nomination to take the america first agenda to the next level. i have fresh legs, the first millennial republican to ever run and i want to reach next generation sean and i think we can do it. >> sean: the points you're making i grow he with many, we wish you luck great job this morning we appreciate you being with us. more hannity coming up straight ahead as we continue. ♪
