6:00 pm
dr. siegel thanks. >> thanks brian. >> brian: listen to my radio show tomorrow brian kill me.com. brian, andy mccarthy on all the trump legal stuff and so much more. on fox and friends you're going to will have me between 6:00 and 9:00 pete hegseth dan sullivan mark green ainsley earhardt and steve doocy will be joining me. now the great sean hannity with a live audience. what's better than that [cheers and applause]. >> sean: by the way just because you work late at night does not mean you can show up late in the morning. i'll be watching at 6:00 a.m. >> brian: call me. >> sean: hello everybody thank you for being with us, welcome to hannity back with our life audience tonight and tonight amid terrible polling numbers your vice-president kamala harris is looking to reinvent her image. they even now have chosen someone to help with a complete makeover. buckle up, we have a sneak preview of kamala two.on straight ahead. also later tonight, democratic primary challenger marianne
6:01 pm
williamson is back. she is now polling 10%, no, i'm not kidding, in the democratic primary and robert f. kennedy's at 21%. we're going to ask her why biden and the dnc are so afraid of competition. but first tonight, the oh, so by as mob and the media and their close friends and willing allies the press secretary and democratic party living in an alternate reality. let's give you exhibit a. hillary clinton, we all know james comey admitted it, she mishandled troves of top-secret classified material. she attempted to cover it up. that's the 30,000 e-mails they had. she destroyed 30,000 other e-mails that were subpoenaed during an ongoing investigation. hillary, a democrat, she was never raided or charged with a crime. and north carolinas of course, lacking in and all self awareness which is typical of all things bill clinton and
6:02 pm
hillary clinton my little pumpkin is calling the allegations against trump beyond anything she has ever thought possible in this country. you sure about this hillary? take a look. >> there are efforts to defend this man are truly beyond anything that i ever thought possible in our country. i mean, it is so profoundly disturbing how this could have been the break. this could have been the opportunity to say, you know, thank you so much for everybody you've done for us, we really appreciate it, but this is kind of serious, and so we're not going to, you know, continue to defend you. but, no, they're all in again. that's what -- the psychology of this is so hard for me to fully grasp. >> sean: psychology of her is hard to grasp. remember, we believed that our foreign toughest adversaries saw in real time what was on her
6:03 pm
servers. they know people that did not have classification status were looking at her top secret classified materials. hillary is delusional but luckily she's never going to be president. she should have been locked up if this is the standard for donald trump on steroids. abc former top aid to bill clinton george e stephanopoulos who's pretending be a journalist he's not he's a talk show host. he's a partisan hack who pre tends to be a journalist he's not one. and the case against donald trump, over the weekend senator lindsey graham schooled him and helped educate abc's quote, tom journalist take a look at this. >> donald trump said repeatedly he did nothing wrong. do you believe that? >> well, here's what i believe. we live in an america where if you're the democratic candidate for president, hillary clinton, secretary of state, you can set up a private server in your basement to conduct government
6:04 pm
business, and when an investigation is had about your activity. >> senator. >> no, let me finish. >> you didn't answer the question. >> it's ridiculous. yeah, well, i'm trying to answer the question from a republican point of view. that may not be acceptable on this show. yes, i don't like what president trump did in certain aspects. i don't like that joe biden had classified information on the garage. i don't like that mike pence carelessly took classified information. i don't like any of that. but what i i don't like is a system in america where the secretary of state, who's a democratic candidate for president, has people take a hammer to social media devices and break them apart, apply bleach bit to a hard drive to erase e-mails, allow classified information to get on a felony's computer anthony weiner. you haven't even mentioned that. most republicans believe we live
6:05 pm
in a country where hillary clinton did very similar things and nothing to happened to her. president trump will have his day in court but espionage charges are absolutely ridiculous. >> sean: wow, big moment. lindsey graham will be here tonight. new favorite word of the liberal media mob it's called whataboutism, what about hillary, what about joe biden. well, what about them? do we have equal obligations of our laws and equal justice under the laws because it's the very core to what we believe to be a constitutional two-tiered system of justice. but now we live in an america where there's one standard for democrats, another for donald trump, another for conservatives. it is a blatant government abuse of power. the fbi's politicized. the doj's weaponized and the media mob, they'll only care to support the democrats regardless of what the facts say or the double standard involved. you want to speak truth to power, that disappears on all things fake news cnn and msdnc
6:06 pm
and the new york times and the washington post and abc, nbc, cbs. especially whennen the feds are protecting democrats and targeting republicans. america's self-proclaimed journalists, they are gutless, they are part sans, they are not journalists, they pretend to own the truth but refuse to hear any perspective that doesn't validate their left wing fantasies. that a look. >> that's the picture over your brilliant words, we don't need to see that anymore we know where he is. >> this case isn't going to be settled legally in a cafe it is a going to be settled in a courtroom of law. >> the folks in the control room i don't need to see anymore of that. he's trying to turn it into a spectacle into a campaign ad. that's enough of that. >> we do not intend to carry these remarks live. as we have said before in these circumstances. there is a cost to us as a news organization to knowingly broadcast untrue things. >> sean: you mean all the lies that she told about russian
6:07 pm
conclusion? talking about truth? pretty laughable. after all the nbc news host is a devout tin foil half conspiracy theorist in her own way card carrying member of the russian conclusion hoax. for many years she and her media mob friends were breathlessly pushing lie after lie after lie day after day week after week month after month for three long years a complete hoax. read the durham report driven by nothing but rage, partisanship stupidity. they lied to their viewers every single night. here's a small reminder. >> he's afraid of the president of russia. >> why. >> one can speculate as to why that the russians may have something on him personally that they could always roll out and make his life more difficult. >> this past weekend is illustrate i have of what a great case officer vladimir putin is. he knows how to handle an asset and that's what he's doing. >> no major thing from the
6:08 pm
dossier has been conclusively disproven. >> we have to stop calling it the infamous dossier. increasingly it's the accurate dossier or the damning dossier. >> not one word has been disproven. in fact a lot of it turned out to be right on the money. >> it hasn't been discredited in fact it's been the opposite it's been corroborated. >> really. >> yes. >> really. >> ask your intel community. your intel community has corroborated all of the details. >> sean: after spending years obsessing over russian hoax that never happened and according to durham that should have never been opened and other anti trump endeavors. can you get how much time these very same people devoted to the foreign bribery and his son hunter? on june 8th when both the trump indictment and biden bribery story broke, abc, cbs, nbc devoted a whooping 291 minutes to trump's indictment and zero minutes to the biden bribery
6:09 pm
allegations, not one single minute. oddly enough the fbi doesn't seem interested in these allegations either. think about the credible fbi source. by the way, the fbi deemed the source of this 1023 so credible the fbi had previously paid this person hundreds of thousands of dollars for intel, and now this person is accusing biden of accepting a $5 million foreign bribe as vice-president in exchange for a policy decision, i guess his credentials go out the window. the source claiming that a burisma executive has 17 separate recordings of phone calls, 15 with hunter, two with then vice-president joe biden, backing up his allegations, and the tapes were made, as, quote, an insurance policy. that would mean your president's compromised. and yet the fbi, seemingly, doing it all -- all they can do to obstruct lawmakers like james
6:10 pm
comer and jim jordan from investing these claims. and needless to see yesterday on capitol hill the fbi's deputy director not exactly fourth coming and he got an ear full from senator ted cruz. take a look. >> the informant alleges that president biden and his family members engaged in a $5 million bribery scheme during his time as vice-president. deputy director abadi is it true the fbi has a report making those allegations. >> i'm not going to comment on that senator. >> and why is that? >> i'm just not going to comment on information we've received investigations. >> brian: you owe an obligation to the american people to be candid about corruption of the president of the united states? >> this is an area that i'm not going to get into with you senator. >> well, i understand you don't want to and that's why people are mad at the fbi because you're stone walling and covering up serious allegations
6:11 pm
of evidence of corruption from the president. >> sean: does that inspire confidence? no it does dose not that's why more people do not trust the fbi according to a new ras mousse inpole. the feds just getted started with donald trump as of now they want more charges out of washington, dc and maybe new jersey and then of course georgia. is it ever going to stop? but as of now even hunter, he's a free man. they've had his laptop from hell since 2019. no charges. and there's a lot of crimes right there on the laptop. take a look at it. and our overtly now abusively bias justices the system broken beyond belief if left unchecked it will destroy the fabric of our country we might as well sled our constitution and say bye-bye american pie because you have all these ivory tower democrats and media mob that don't seem to care. here with reaction is texas
6:12 pm
senator ted cruz. senator, how are you? [cheers and applause] >> sean: great to see you senator. first of all, great job yesterday. >> thank you. >> sean: that's why allen dershowitz witnesses said you are one of the best debateers students he ever had in his harvard law class but in all seriousness they have done everything they can do to obstruct james comer's investigation into the biden family. >> yes. >> sean: this is a witness that the fbi paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to in the past for intel. they've had this now for years. why have they sat on it? >> well, i believe because they're covering up. look, the fbi at that hearing yesterday, that deputy director, i asked him directly, did they have -- did the 1023 allege biden received a personal bribe of $5 million. he refused toens a. i asked will the fbi give the 1023 to the senate judiciary committee. he refused to answer. i asked him is it accurate
6:13 pm
there's 17 voice recordings of this burisma official 15 talking to hunter biden, two talking to joe biden? he refused to answer. i asked him does the fbi have those 17 voice recordings, he refused to answer. i asked him will the fbi give to the senate judiciary committee those 17 voice recordings so we can access ourselves, he refused toens a. they are utterly and completely stone walling. and what's important to know there's no legal 'em pediment to him answering questions, no legal barrier, just sitting there with the smug smirk on his face because the fbi senior leadership believes they're unaccountable, not accountable to congress or the american people. and these allegations, if true, joe biden should be impeached, he should be removed from office, he should be prosecuted and he should go to prison [cheers and applause] >> sean: if you look at this recent indictment after the mar-a-lago raid, i mean, this was done, what, seven, eight
6:14 pm
months after the special council was appointed. >> yeah. >> sean: they moved at warp speed to get this done. they've had hunter's laptop for years. we know of low hanging fruit with issues and drugs and crimes et cetera. but don't we need a full accounting how much business did the biden family did with china and russian and ukraine and cal stan and other countries. what do we know about the llc the site committee has discovered. why did it take so long to get the suspicious activity reports. why is director wray, why does it take a threat of contempt of congress to get him to comply with the committee charged with oversight on these very matters? >> look, part of the reason why the fbi and doj can be so con stench with us because they believe they won't be called to account. senate democrats don't care about the answers.
6:15 pm
they don't care whether it is true or not that joe biden received a $5 million bribe from a foreign national. not a single senate democrat asked about that. senate democrats will not hold a single hearing on that question and they know that the corporate media will cover it up and hide. you mentioned never the corporate media even mentioned the allegation. when joe biden was asked at a press conference about it, he laughed and said, where's the money? you know what? al capone said the shame thing. he's mocking the american people. and let me put something else out. listen, i don't know whether it is true or false that biden, in fact, took this bribe. but you know who knows to 100% certainty? joe biden. and if it's false he could call on the fbi, he could direct the fbi, hand over the 1023, hand over the 17 invoices recordings, because they will exonerate me and demonstrate my innocence.
6:16 pm
he's not doing that. instead his harshmen at doj are stone walling. i asked the deputy director did you do anything to investigate these allegations from a trusted informant, he refused to answer that question as well. this is a rogue agency that is insurely politicized and thoroughly weaponized and i've got to say, look, you contrast that with the trump indictment, which is utter and complete gar beige. and they issue the trump indictment as this news about janz is breaking. compare and contrast the two, with the trump indictment there's a complete and utter double standard. if you're going to indict someone for having classified documents, how about joe biden and the classified he had stuck in just about orifice of his body. it was stuck in the garage next to his old car. how about hillary clinton, they
6:17 pm
won't investigate him, why? they aren't on the team. and i believe to indict a former president or senior president, the threshold should be very high. you know the kind of conduct you need to indict a former president or current president. >> something on the order of taking a $5 million bribe from a foreign national. that. >> sean: senator we need that information and how much money this family did with every one of these countries. maybe that's why china got away with spying on us and away with aggressive maneuvers and fighter jets in international air space and international waterways with our navy. frightening time great job by the way yesterday. we appreciate it. >> joining us now with more south carolina senator lindsey graham is with us. i think i like this a highway, maybe we should have lindsey instagram let me finish. >> you know, they call it
6:18 pm
whataboutism, that's the new favorite frayed of the left and media and the rest. not about whataboutism? is it p squall justice. >> number one george stephanopoulos had no idea what i was talking about. i might have squeal have been talking in chinese. he didn't know hillary clinton's people took a hammer to a blackberry. he didn't know they wiped the e-mails clean. he didn't know that anthony weiner wound out with classified information on his computer. he didn't nor any of that because when the democrats accuse something they don't know. >> brian: he needs to watch this show and learn something. >> i agree and happy birthday president trump because he's watching this show. [cheers and applause]. >> so i talk to him, hey, hey pal, you had dinner with melania and ivanka, we've got your back. president trump, we have your back. this is not about you. it's about us. you can take to the you takely
6:19 pm
llama and this is a bunch of bs president trump you're going to prevail and be the republican nominee and you're going to be president again. just hang in there. [cheers and applause]. >> sean: what do you make -- how is its possible the things you're explaining? you don't believe that george stephanopoulos knew, i give him more credit than that, i think he knew dam well about the 33,000 deleted e-mails. he's heard about bleach bit. he's heard about hammers destroying black berries and iphones they know all about it and yet they protect their own and are willing to have a complete double standard because the media's an extension of all things radical, new green deal democratic socialist party are they not? >> yeah, okay, john mccain was great until he became the nominee then he was a crazy old man. mitt romney was a heartless
6:20 pm
billionaire who put the dog on top of the car. here's what i want to tell every conservative republican. whether you like trump or not, it is not about trump. if you're pro life and you believe in responsible gun ownership and you don't want to limit the role of the federal government, you're the enemy of the people. president trump was one hell of a president on all the things that i care about. they're trying to destroy his life. it's not going to work. and here's what's coming next. watch for an indictment in washington, dc. you could convict any republican in america of anything in washington, dc. he got 5% of the vote. here's what i worry about, that mr. smith will indict president trump for january 6th activity in washington, dc. if he does that, that means he has no confidence in the florida case. i hope and pray that mr. smith will not do that. because that will tear this country apart. president trump has been treated unlike anybody i've known in this business and i've been
6:21 pm
around since 1995. what they hate about him the most, he's broken through to working people. he's a threat to the left unlike anybody since ronald reagan and mr. president, president trump. talk about the future, pal, we've got your back. >> sean: let me ask you a last question. now we're talking about a new york case with alvin bragg, then you're talking about -- >> yeah, right. >> sean: -- a miami case. now they've been mentioning all day a new jersey case. now you're talking about a washington, dc case. i have every belief that, you know, just like in new york when you have ags and prosecutors run on a campaign to go after one man, the same thing's going to happen down in fulton county georgia. >> right. >> sean: how do you run for president with all those legal hurdles in front of you in that's not easy. >> so hillary clinton said something that was very, i think, telling. they have not yet broken. i can't believe they haven't broken after this. the goal is to find something
6:22 pm
that will break us from trump. and the reason they're not going to break us is we see through this. that if donald trump took a hammer to a blackberry it would be front page news. the double standard is real and they're literally trying to find something to break the republican party from donald trump. they fear this man. they fear his ability to come back and turn america around. they fear him more than anybody else, and that ought to tell you something about president donald trump. the democrats want to destroy his life because they fear him. and from my point of view, from my point of view, conservatism is in good hands with president donald trump, and that's his biggest crime. >> sean: senator lindsey graham south carolina thank you for being with us >> coming up according to a new report the white house trying to rehabilitate kamala harris image so will kamala 2.0 work, we

>> sean: all right, your president joe biden had to take a break from his not-so-busy, hardly ever work schedule this week to get a radio. canal. how many have had root canals. okay. i never had one take two days, why do his take two days. i've had plenty, i have a guy who can knock it out in an hour and a half. luckily vice-president harris was there to step in and take his place. aim sure he really hurt his little tooth a lot.
6:28 pm
anyway greeting college athletes at the white house. apparently some of the left want to make that change permanent. look at this poll, almost 90% of democrats are comfortable with harris taking over from biden. should he be unable to finish his next term. i'm not so sure he finishes this term, he does not look well to me. others think that biden's reelection campaign could simply a report for a harris presidency. appropriate prayings for time in the spotlight kamala is reportedly trying to revitalize her tarnished image. here with opinion fox news contribute tours charlie hurt and miranda devine. thank you both. somebody said to me, your poll numbers suck, people don't tend to like you, we're going to do a makeover. i'm thinking i'm not doing too well at that time.
6:29 pm
first of all anita done is doing it? what is the makeover about. >> the makeover is about the fact that if your poll numbers are below joe biden, that's dangerous territory. and, you know the whole could i see about the root canal is so funny because -- >> have you ever had a root canal? >> no, i don't, i never want to have one. my dentist didn't send me for a few years but i'm not blake them. however, it doesn't take that long to get a root canal, this he go in and do this little thing next thing you know is out, you feel nothing and you walk away. >> it sounds pretty miserable and the only thing worse than that is kamala harris doing it during a root canal. >> sean: what might be worse getting to the bottom of these bribery allegations. your thoughts. >> well, yes. look, i think anybody who thinks that joe biden is a shoe-in for
6:30 pm
the next election is nuts because he's a very different canow tohat he was back in 2020. you know, i think something like 61% of voters no longer think that joe biden is honest joe. so for the voters it's fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. so i don't think that that is a package deal of kamala harris and joe biden but the democrats have to have a plan b and they'll have to find some nice cachey beginning no shuffle her out of the way so that they can put in somebody like, dare say, divan newsome. i don't think it's any coincidence your interview with gavin newsome coincide with your stories about kamala harris stepping up. >> so you see a possible connection here. what's interesting is, and, okay, let's put it very nicely.
6:31 pm
dan newsome has a different philosophy but he makes the liberals in washington look moderate. california is hard-correspond left wing and, look, he makes his case, is articulate. he flung that jacket over his shoulder ready to go. i thought he was going to sit down in that chair and take over that day. miranda? >> yeah, he was, he was measuring the drapes that day. he's a very cocky man. and you just look at the state that california is in, how he has the hoots pa to actually think that he has a chance, that's the best campaign ad for the other side is just look at san francisco, look at los angeles. >> sean: and look at the high taxes. the one thing i tried to highlight with gavin, and he was gracious enough to come on the
6:32 pm
show. and he say there, and we should have more on that later in the week this week. however, for the first time in california history, they're losing nearly 800 residentsr single solitary day. compare that. he and ron desantis are having this little cold war going back and forth with each other. florida's gaining a thousand new residents a day, nearly a thousand a day. now while are people leaving that state with the highest income tax rate in the country. >> and crime. >> sean: and crime and regulation and homelessness and going to florida. >> of course they're not going, leaving to -- republican states like texas and florida they're also leaving it to go to mexico which ought to be the most alarming thing. if you think your policies are a good idea. >> sean: if you think life's better in mexico things will really change, a new border wall
6:33 pm
built on the mexican side. >> give him credit, he solved that top party. in california the immigration's going the other way. >> sean: it's pretty interesting. ran today on the bribery allegations and this whistleblower, do you believe that these 17 tapes exist if well, we don't know if they exist. all we know is that a very good and trusted fbi, who's very high up in burisma had these tapes as insurance. this is the way thee piece work. i know for a fact from my sources that hunter biden used to quite often put his father on speaker phone and get him to talk to his benefit factors, his business partners. but joe biden was always very
6:34 pm
careful not to say anything that could be construed as, that he was asking for a bribe or anything like that. >> brian: miranda he told us never once did he talk to his son about his foreign business dealings. was i wrong to believe that lie? >> well, of course he's been -- sean that's been proven to be a lie over and over and over. i just think what ted cruz said is right, joe biden could come forward and say i didn't do it and prove it. why should he leave these allegations hanging there. >> sean: i would like to know how much money they made from every country and that's maybe that's why he doesn't take on china and russia or any of these countries. good to you, straight ahead marianne williamson now 10% in the pole but where does she stand on the issues and why is she, where are they doing so well against joe biden if he was so popular? that's straight ahead.

♪ >> sean: as the race for the white house is heating up, robert f. kennedy jr.'s primary challenge against joe biden is going much better than many predicted causing serious panic at the dnc. he as at 21% regularly now in the polls and he's not the only democrat that is eating into biden's horrific poll numbers. author, spiritualist marianne williamson also performing well garnering a very respectable 10% of the vote right now, apparently very popular among young voters in part thanks to her very strong presence on tik tok and marianne williamson joins us right now. how are you maryanne?
6:40 pm
>> i'm good. thank you. thank you for having me. >> brian: are you worried at all that tik tok is a spy mechanism of the communist chinese like so many have alleged? >> well, i think that the surveillance of many tech companies is an issue whether it's american or chinese company it's certainly an issue. >> sean: if you found out or if the top security people in the country are telling you that, hey, you're using a platform that the come any chinese spy on us would you take it eariously. >> tell you something sean the chinese are spying on us in all kinds of ways. the truth of the matter is millions and millions of young people. >> sean: i'm just asking. >> this is where young people are getting their information and i think for us to deny that is kind of ridiculous. i think that whatever regulations we have on tik tok, whatever the government decides to do i would like to see them be just as strong in regulating american companies as well. >> sean: so i'm looking at your numbers and you know what?
6:41 pm
10% is not too shabby. >> thank you. >> sean: that's a very respectable number. >> thank you. >> sean: just like robert f. kennedy's number i think at 21% is respectable. combined 31% of democrats don't want joe biden. that speaks volumes. so i started to do a little deeper dive into your positions and, for example, you seem to want to eliminate all domestic energy production or a lot of it in america and you said that no phrase has been used more man intively than national security and you said our military madness has not made us more secure, it has made us less secure and i'm asking you, to the extent that you see china, russia, iran, as national security threats, and what would you have done if you were president and the chinese spy balloon incident happened and the russia taking down of our drone happened? what would you do in those two cases. >> well, i don't think that that
6:42 pm
balloon should have gotten as far inland had got. >> sean: what would you have done. >> i think that probably should have been shot down over the water. i don't know why it was able to get as close at it got into u.s. territory. >> sean: director i agree with you. >> thank you. >> sean: once it was coming through alaska air space i would have shot that sucker out of the sky. >> yeah, yeah. but let's be very clear. >> sean: what about russia what would you have done with the drone incident? >> are you talking about syria? >> sean: talking about the russians taking down one of our drones. >> oh, russians taking down one of our drones. where? you mean one of our drones -- what country are you talking about? >> sean: it was a high profile incident that a russian fighter jet purposely hit and took down an american drone out of the sky and joe biden did nothing. what would you have done? >> it would depend on where the drone was. you know, we take down drones, they take down drones. this is not the big picture. the big picture is how the
6:43 pm

technology on the face of the earth for the cause of defending freedom? because when you talk about the phrase, you know, national security is used manipulatively, that sounds to me like you don't support national defense to the extent we have it. >> well, you're absolutely incorrect. of course the united states needs a strong military. the way i see military is like a surgeon. if you have to have surgery, you absolutely the united states needs to have the best surgeon. but a reasonable person tries to avoid surgery if necessary. you know, 60 minutes recently did an expose about the profound price gouging of the defense contractors towards the u.s. military. one of the financial things i would do as president is to audit the pentagon. we know we have a bloated military budget. we have an $858 billion military budget and you know what sean? i do not believe the iraq war made us more secure. i do not believe staying 20 years longer than we needed to in afghanistan made us more

you replace it with today. >> tremendous green energy possibilities, wind, solar, so many ways we can compensate. >> sean: how long would it take he- >> excuse me, you said something -- quickly, if we invest adequately. you know you said a few minutes ago that i wanted to get rid of american energy production. no, i don't. i want to ramp down fossil fuel energy production. i want to ramp up green energy production. we need to make a just transition from a dirty energy to a clean energy grid. >> sean: how long would in your view, would that take? >> well, if you look at the money we spend subs dieing the oil companies we could take the same money and subs skies the production of green energy we are americans and we can do whatever we want and if we decide we are going to make a massive just transition to a green energy grid you absolutely can believe, we have the money, the know how the ingenuity and the spirit. what we need is for americans to
