john walsh as or border czars. well said. matt from madison heights michigan. do you think the jets are cursed, imagine being a lions fan. can't imagine being either. mallory from georgia, omg, anthony weiner tonight? that was gutsy. sure was. always remember, i'm and this is my world. ♪ >> sean: welcome to hannity, we have a lot to cover tonight. coming up, senator lindsey graham reacts to the georgia grand jury actually recommending that he be indicted and later what rfk jr. run as a third party candidate. we will ask him. he is not happy with the democratic party and the process running for president. also, senator john kennedy raising eyebrows during a senate hearing today when he read from lgbtq books featuring explicit material.

by the way, we'll show a lot more later but as of now, viewer discretion is advised. here's a preview. >> i put some lube on and got him on his knees, and i began to slide into him from behind. >> sean: there's a lot more. we'll have a lot of that coming up but first tonight, the walls, as we have been telling you, are closing in on president joe biden. earlier today, the house speaker kevin mccarthy officially now called for a formal impeachment inquiry over the president's role and his family's shady business dealings. take a look. >> we know that bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to the biden family members and associates through various shell companies. even a trusted fbi informant has alleged a bribe to the biden family. biden used his official office to coordinate with hunter

biden's business partners about hunter's role in burisma, the ukrainian energy company. despite the serious allegations, it appears that the president's family has been offered special treatment by biden's own administration. treatment that not otherwise would have received if they were not related to the president. these are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption. and they warrant further investigation by the house of representatives. that's why today i am directing our house committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into president joe biden. >> sean: the speaker then sent a letter to fellow lawmakers after his remarks following up on the announcement confirming that they will have a conference meeting on thursday about this inquiry. now, predictably, the white house immediately dismissed

mccarthy's announcement with spokesman ian sams from the white house counsel's office, claiming republicans have found no evidence that biden did anything wrong before calling the inquiry, quote, the extreme politics at its finest. really? no evidence at all? whatsoever? okay. we'll get into that. what about the treasury department stealing 150 suspicious activity reports or that fbi's 1023 form that alleges -- by the way, from a credible fbi source, credible defined by the fbi who previously had paid this source hundreds of thousands of dollars -- alleging that joe biden took official actions as vice-president in exchange for a lot of money to enrich his entire family, all related to corruption allegations from the bidens related to burisma, the ukrainian gas and oil giant. what about the 5,000 e-mails that joe wrote under a pseudonym

while vice-president including by the way we found a new account auks you everr uncovered yesterday, despite the endless attempts by the biden administration to block house republicans. they have uncovered what is now amounting to a trove of evidence. now, while they publicly dismissed the inquiry into joe biden, now, according to reports, the white house has been preparing for this moment. they knew it was coming. reportedly building out an entire war room inside and outside of government. inside of government filled with spokespeople, legal experts to counter the investigations into both hunter and joe biden. they have their work cut out for them because evidence of biden's wrong doing is now quite overwhelming and questions around the family's shady dealings, well, they need answers. like how did hunter biden, he was admitted to be an addict at the time, earn millions of dollars from foreign businesses and foreign countries with no relevant experience in the country or in the field of endeavor he's getting paid on.

and according to the johnson grassley report, he received, for example, $3.5 million from the former first lady of moscow, and then later $120 million investment in their real estate fund. they got the exact amount of money from a kazakhstan oligarch and that money was spent instantaneously on a brand new sports car by hunter biden, a hundred thousand dollars, that international shopping spree with an associate of a ccp-backed chinese energy firm. millions of dollars for his work on the board of burisma. he also demanded $10 million, remember, i am sitting next to my father, from a chinese business associate at a ccp linked firm to, quote, further the interest of their joint venture. now house oversight committee chairman james comer said the bidens overall have taken in tens of millions of dollars from foreign entities in russia, ukraine, china, kazakhstan,

romania and many other countries through these shell companies allegedly used to conceal the source and the funds and reduce suspicion over the total amount. so, if it really is just extreme politics at its worst, as their white house war room is now claiming, then explain what the bidens did to earn all of this money. tens of millions of dollars. why was hunter biden paid millions by burisma, and a, you know, ccp-linked energy firm, cesp, c, in china despite having no experience at all whatsoever in energy, ukraine, china, no experience. how much money in total did hunter and his businesses do with china, with russia, ukraine, and all of these countries? how much money did the biden family profit in all of this? did they pay taxes on all of this money? did they follow the fara laws

the ones they used against people like paul manafort. what did other family members do to earn this money. congressman comer saying even grandchildren got paid. okay, what did they do to earn their money. how much were they paid? did they pay taxes? why did they set up all these shell corporations? why did joe line repeatedly that he never spoke to his son or brother or anybody for that matter about these foreign business deals and we know just the opposite is true. we are now looking at what is potentially the biggest bribery and money laundering scandal in the history of this country. what role did joe biden, your president, play in all of this? now, thanks to the laptop from hell, that's hunter biden's laptop, and eyewitness testimony, his involvement is clear. still he spent years lying to you, the american people. in case you've forgotten, let's remind you. >> mr. vice-president, how many times have you spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? >> i have never spoken to my son about his overseas business

dealings >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses. period. and what i will do is the same thing we did in our administration, there will be an absolute wall between personal and private and the government. >> reporter: do you stand by your statement that you did not discuss any of your son's overseas business dealings. >> yes, i stand by that statement. >> sean: all right, those were all lies from candidate joe biden, president joe biden, and, according to congressional testimony from hunter biden's former business partner devon archer, well, hunter connected joe with foreign associates more than 20 times to promote the biden family brand. what's the brand? it certainly wasn't hunter, it was joe. and i know to talk about the weather, as one democrat suggested, little farfetched. but it wasn't just over the phone. there's photographic evidence. we also know of joe meeting with hunter biden's foreign business

associates in person on numerous occasions and further eyewitness testimony from devon archer confirming attended a lavish dinner at the press teaches cafe milano in 2014 when he was still vice-president attended by the former first lady of moscow alaina botarina days before she wired one of hunter's shell company $4.5 million. and the laptop from hell joe's involvement is even deeper, hunter once complaining to his own sister about giving half his salary to pops and paying his bills and requesting advice from rosemont seneca's money guy, a guy by the name of eric sherwin, which account should be used for this various home repair of pops and that various home repair of pops. looks like pops might have benefited from all of this. while another message reveals hunter and his business partners set aside 10% of their earnings for, quote, the big guy, later identified as joe, according to

multiple sources, including tony bobulinski. hunter even referenced sitting next to joe while demanding payment from his chinese business partners. i'm sitting next to my father. remember that one? what, within a week, there was all the money right in their account. what was it, five, $10 million. but perhaps the biggest slam dunk case against the bidens involves burisma, in large part because joe, himself, bragged about his role in this case in 2015, joe was leading up the obama administration's ukraine policy. he leveraged one billion u.s. tax dollars to have the prosecutor investigating burisma fired while hunter sat on the board making millions, later bragging about it. as a result of the firing, son of a b, hunter continued to get paid. the family continued to get enriched as a result of this brag by joe biden. >> i had gotten a commitment from poroshenko and from yatsenyuk that they would take

action against the state prosecutor and they didn't. so they said they had -- they were walking out of the press conference and i said, nah, we're not going to give you the billion dollars. they said you have no authority, you're not the president. the president said. i said call him. i said i'm telling you, you're not getting the billion dollars. i said you're not good getting the billion, i'm going to be leaving here, i think it was six hours, i'm leaving in six hours, if the prosecutor's not fired you're not getting the money. well son of a [bleep], he got fired. and they put in place someone who was solid. >> sean: he got fired, hunter continued to get paid. james comer's now demanding the state department explains the sudden decisions leading to the firing of the prosecute which begs another question, why did joe lie about his involvement in hunter's business dealings? is he trying to hide something? new today house republicans are coming forward to accuse hunter's attorneys of intimidating irs whistleblowers who did come forward with allegations of misconduct and special treatment for the biden

family. here with reaction, house oversight committee chair james comer and chairman of the house ways and means committee jason smith. congressman comer, let's talk about the war room that they set up, i think against you especially, but also against jason, i'm sure jim jordan and probably anybody in the media that dares to tell this story. your reaction? >> well, they wouldn't have to set up a war room, sean, if they would just provide the information that we've requested. i don't think we've requested anything out of the ordinary. we want to know the correspondence that joe biden used with the pseudonyms between the government and himself pertaining to the ukrainian policy. we want to know any e-mails that had hunter biden copied on them from the government. this is stuff that should be public record. and with respect to their bank records joe biden had no problem releasing donald trump's tax returns. joe biden said he would be the most transparent president in the history. we've already proven his family

got $20 million from foreign nationals, they can't say a single thing they did to earn the money. so obviously we're suspicious about their personal bank accounts. all we want to do is see their personal bank accounts to make sure that joe biden wasn't getting his 10%. >> sean: let me ask you this. >> and make sure that hunter biden was telling the truth when he said that he had to give his salary, half his salary to his father. >> sean: in that 1023 form with the trusted fbi informant talking to the ceo of burisma, he talks about five million to one biden, five million to another biden, and it will take you ten years to find out how we paid him the money. have you been able to trace that $10 million, do you believe? >> we're still looking for that. as you know we found. >> sean: do you have any leads. >> we do have leads. we believe, and suspect, that there are offshore accounts but that's something we'll discuss later and jason smith may want to discuss that at some point in

the near future. but at the end of the day, what they said in that 1023 form where they used various bank accounts, that is consistent with what we've seen in romania, china, russia and ukraine, where they use various bank accounts and various shell companies. so when that fbi form was written, no one knew the biden had shell companies, no one knew they had 170 suspicious activity reports where six different banks accused them of money lawedern. that's what that fbi form alleges before anyone knew about the shell companies and the money laundering. so it fits a pattern that we've seen in other countries. >> sean: let me ask you, jason smith, house republicans now have been accusing biden's attorneys of intimidating the irs whistleblowers in a letter to the ag, attorney general, merrick garland. do you have evidence that that took place, these intimidation efforts have taken place, and why did you have people in biden's white house talk to the

whistleblowers prior to their testimony before your committee? >> sean, one of the great examples is the letter that hunter biden's lawyers sent to me in the end of june. in that letter, they tried to intimidate me in railroads to my own investigation and to discredit to two brave irs whistleblowers that came forward, sean, and tried to say that their actions of coming forward to the ways and means committee was illegal and that they were breaking the law. and so that is why we sent the letter to attorney general garland, is to see the documents, the e-mails, the correspondence, that hunter biden's lawyers had with the department of justice, and trying to push for prosecution of these two brave irs whistleblowers that came before us. let me tell you, today we interviewed one of the four individuals that we subpoenaed, sean, an irs employee, and just like the other three that we've done over the last four days, they confirmed what the irs whistleblowers were saying, and

that is prosecutor weiss had to get permission higher up the food chain in the biden administration to bring charges, and to move ahead in this investigation against the president's son. >> sean: how are people going to want to come forward if this is how we treat whistleblowers? i thought democrats liked whistleblowers congressman. >> they should absolutely, they're supposed to love whistleblowers, but that's, in fact, what this letter did. it would try to scare additional irs whistleblowers, or any whistleblowers of any kind to come forward. they are trying to scare people from coming and telling the truth. but let me tell you, the information's coming out, these irs whistleblowers have done a phenomenal job and no one, no one has countered what the irs whistleblowers have said. their statements have stayed the same. the biden administration is the one that continues to sing from a different tune. >> sean: all right, chairman smith and chairman comer, thank you for the updates. we appreciate it. the walls are closing in on the

bidens. so how did lawmakers react to today's breaking news from mccarthy? well, pennsylvania senator john fetterman had a pretty bizarre response where he was kind of laughing about it. and also, meanwhile, tensions with iran may be reaching a boiling point tonight. yesterday, we learned the administration announced that they are unfreezing $6 billion in iranian oil revenues as part of a prisoner exchange in what essentially amounts to a ransom payment that joe is paying the mullahs in iran which comes amid a new report today that a iran may be able to produce as many as ten nuclear bombs in four months. here with reaction, texas senator ted cruz. i didn't think america paid ransom payments to mullahs in iran so they can spend more money on their nuclear program. senator, i must be very naive. >> well, you should be outraged because what they're doing is they're placing a bounty on every american's head.

what this administration is doing is sending six billion to the ayatollah. the ayatollah who routinely chants death to america and death to israel. and you can rest assured, that $6 billion will be spent to fund terrorists who use it to murder americans and to murder israelis. not only that, now that the ayatollah and ever other terrorist on earth knows that the biden administration is willing to pay billions of dollars for american hostages, you're going to see more americans taken hostage because they've suddenly made it a profitable indid he ever. sadly this biden white house puts partisan politics above our national security interest. and i've got to say their iran policy is spectacularly dangerous for israel and spectacularly dangerous for the united states. >> sean: let's get your reaction to the impeachment inquiry if we can get you to put your legal hat back on senator. i'm sure you would rather be called an attorney anyway.

but, seriously, the walls to me seem to be closing in. he lied -- joe lies spectacularly. joe is involved up to his eyeballs. the family was enriched, hunter had no experience, hunter was an addict at the time. tens of millions of dollars involved, grandchildren paid, shell corporations set up. what do you think. >> i think today was a significant day, the house of representatives announced they're opening an impeachment inquiry on joe biden. i think that's exactly the right thing to do i've been calling to the house to do this for many months now. one of the ways to assess what's going on is to look at the biden white house's shifting story and you played quite a bit in your monthly log. started off with joe biden saying i never talked with my son about any of his overseas business dealings. turns out that was a lie. the next story was i've never done business with my son and his overseas business dealings. turns out that was a lie.

you know, the latest talking points democrats are trying to trot out in response to this impeachment inquiry, is there is no direct evidence of joe's involvement in the corruption. so they've pretty much given up on hunter. yes, hunter's corrupt as the day is long, but there's no direct evidence of joe's involvement. that's a flat-out lie too but let me break it down into two pieces. number one in a trial there's two pieces of evidence, there's directs evidence and circumstantial evidence. what is circumstantial evidence? i'll give you an example. if you go to sleep tonight and you look outside the window when you go to sleep and the street is clean and you wake up in the morning and you look out the window and there is snow covering the ground, that is circumstantial evidence that during the night it snowed. but, you know what? it's pretty damn good evidence. circumstantial evidence, people are convicted and sent to jail every day of the week based on circumstantial evidence. circumstantial evidence is you draw inferences from the

circumstances. that's compared to direct evidence. direct evidence is testimony from someone who said i saw it snowing last night. that's direct evidence. there's at least two instances of direct evidence of joe's corruption. number one, you played on this show which is joe biden's admission, in front of the council on foreign relations, that he held a billion dollars of u.s. taxpayer loan guaranties hostage in order to force the firing of the ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating had ukrainian oligarch. that is one of the critical elements of bribery of the quid pro quo. quid pro quo as you know is latin for this for that. the that joe biden has admitted to, that is direct evidence he's admitted to. the only question is, is there the questioned, is there the five to $10 million of payments. now on that there is circumstantial evidence. there are the $20 million-plus

of payments to the biden family, and there is also the consistent pattern of obstruction and covering it up, which, in any court of law, you would draw a negative inference from. >> sean: i could just give you a little preview of comes attractions, i believe that money's been found senator. stay tuned to this show and we'll let you know more. thank you >> all right, coming up, senator lindsey graham weighs in on the georgia grand jury recommending that he be indicted, and a cia whistleblower making explosive allegations that the agency offered to pay people to change their position on the origins of covid. wow. programming note, live audience shows tomorrow and thursday. tickets are free, hannity.com to register. in studio guest tulsi gabbard, governor ron desantis and much more straight ahead.

♪ >> sean: so we pretty much know by now that covid originated in the wuhan lab but why wasn't the government direct about all of this from the beginning? well, a whistleblower from the cia allegedly telling lawmakers that the agency analysts, they were told they would be paid more for concluding that the origins of covid were uncertain, when almost all of them agreed it had probably come from the labment congress is investigating these allegations but the cia denies it saying that, quote, we do not pay analysts to reach specific conclusions and we take these allegations extremely seriously and are looking into them. these are very serious allegations that, if true, would be just another example of the weaponization of our government. another example the case against donald trump, this case in fulton county georgia, but we recently learned that the da, fani willis, didn't even go as

far as she could have as there were multiple other people that the grand jury had cleared for her to indict, including former georgia senators perdue and loeffler and sitting south carolina sitting senator lindsey graham. senator graham right now for the first time, except for a couple brief comments, speaks about it publicly. senator welcome to the show. i bet that was a surprise to you. tell us, you went before the grand jury. tell us how that went with and why do you think your name got on the indictment list? >> we live in a sort of a scary time, i think. the system's off the rails. what did i do? i was the chair man of the judiciary committee during the 2020 election. there was challenges to georgia, to arizona, to pennsylvania. i had to decide whether or not the committee should hold a hearing about these allegations and i had to vote as a united states senator whether to certify the election. so what did i do? i called people all over the country, including the secretary of state of georgia.

i called in from my senate office with my staff on the phone to ask questions about mail-in voting. i still don't understand the mail-in voting system used in 2020 in georgia, but having said that i voted to certify the election. i did my job. and if i have to do it over again, i will. for the last year i've been inundated for this, i spent almost a million and a half dollars from my campaign funds to deal with this rather than getting myself reelected or helping other republicans. donald trump has spent $40 million in three different jurisdictions and if you want to help me pay my bill, lindseygraham.com. the bottom line sean is that you have a county prosecutor bringing in three united states senators who have a constitutional obligation to vote on an election. and if we can't pick up the phone and talk to people and challenge them, the system is truly off the rails. and that's exactly what i did. >> sean: you know, if you look at the transcript, and i've read it numerous times, donald trump

talked about very specific examples on that phone call, there were tons of lawyers on the call, not one lawyer interrupted him and said excuse me, sir, that might be inappropriate. they always focus in on i only need 11 2750 votes, you know, if you find them. but he was talking about hundreds of thousands of votes that he brought into question where he did not believe were legitimate, laid out that entire case. it is a long transcript senator, i'm not sure you read the whole thing. i have. >> well, i know what i did and i think president trump has every right to question what happened. i got on the phone with many people, not just georgia, to find out what i should do. at the end of the day, i certified the election, but i had doubts about how it worked in georgia. and if i can't pick up the phone and call people, then the system doesn't work and it's trying to intimidate people like me from asking questions. if the liberals had their way, i would shut up and you would he ever in hear anything from me or anybody else. we would just accept the results

and i'm not going to do that. >> sean: in 1960 in hawaii. >> yeah. >> sean: did they not use alternate electors, i'm curious. is that what your history teaches you? >> yeah, well look at 1876 elections where they had three slates of electors from three different states. so, in manhattan they're charging trump with a crime no one's ever been charged with in the history of manhattan. he got 17%, faye % in dc, 27% in fulton county. this system is off the rails, if you can help me pail my bills, lindseygraham.com. help president trump. but the story about the cia misrepresenting the source of the lab leak is the biggest story you will ever cover, if true. >> sean: do you believe it's true? >> yeah, i do. i met with ron johnson and rand paul with the fbi who said they had moderate confidence that it came from the lab.

i have beyond reasonable doubt confidence it came from the lab. and i think our system is covering it up to protect china. that's a bold statement but i believe it. >> sean: thank you, senator. appreciate you being with us. when we come back, robert f. kennedy, jr., is he now so fed up with the democrats he'd consider a third-party run? we'll ask him next. later, more on senator john kennedy confronting democrats over some lgbtq books they want in school libraries. here's a preview. viewer discretion advised. >> you're going to look so hot. i can't wait to have your [bleep] in my mouth. >> sean: more on that straight ahead as we continue. ♪ some people ask if our presidential election was fair? mom's, dad's, grandma's and grandpa's were just doing what they believed was justified. now they're each facing seventy years in prison. with no money to defend themselves. only perry johnson has come forward with a substantial donation to help their defense.

remaining witnesses of the jfk assassination says he is rethinking the entire incident that was going on for the first time. former secret service agent who was protecting kennedy that day told the new york times that, quote, i'm beginning to doubt myself. now i've begun to wonder about what really happened. of course this comes as jfk's nephew robert f. kennedy jr. is now seeking the democratic nomination for the presidency but the so-called democrats are not acting very democratic. so if rfk jr. feels like he is not getting a fair shake from the democrats, will he run third party? he joins us now with more. let me first ask you about the secret service agent, the guy's name is paul landis. he talked about the magic bullet. magic bullet to me was absurd from day one, never, never -- to me it never had any credibility. he was there, even put himself on record at the time, and

mentioned that he made a mistake in his placement of the bullet in that room where your uncle was after he was shot. my question to you is, should this now open a full-fledged investigation? >> yeah. i mean, the interesting thing about this development is not really his revelation, because this information has been out there, and the information, you know, the overwhelming information that there was more than one shooter involved and that there were multiple people involved has been recognized by the american people, 70% of americans don't believe the warren report. but more importantly when congress reinvestigated the warren commission evidence and was looking at much more evidence than 1979 the house elect assassinations committee, they came to the conclusion and this was the conclusion, official conclusion of the report, that john kennedy was killed by a conspiracy.

majority of that house staff believed that it was the cia behind that conspiracy. the important thing that's happened now is finally, the new york times, the orthodoxy is starting to crumble. the new york times, which has been the major bastian, the champion of the warren committee report long after it was discredited by a million different sources. the other thing that's important now, sean, is, yeah, i think they ought to have a real investigation of what happened, a genuine investigation that looks at all the evidence, millions of pages of documents that are now available. but, more importantly, the last 5,000 pages of documents that the cia will not release, it's breaking the law now they're supposed to release those documents by 2017. president trump promised to release them which was his duty and then he didn't. we don't know why.

president biden promised to release them and then he didn't. we don't know why. among those documents, the most interesting things that people want to know about is bill harvey, the miami station chief who almost certainly was directly involved in the assassination, his travel records on that day, and i think most of his scholars who are looking at this issue, that that is the principal piece of interest that we believe the cia is concealing. >> sean: i want to see all those documents. i agree with you they should be released to the public. your campaign manager, dennis kucinich actually said in a letter to the dnc they created a class unfortunately of pledged delegates called party leaders, elected officials essentially the same as super delegates due to the amount of control the party exercises over elected

officials. basically saying you can't get a fair shake, that the deck is stacked against you. joe biden already pulled out of iowa, pulled out of new hampshire because he thinks he would do better starting in south carolina. you know, if you're not going to get a fair shot with the democratic party and you're not getting even a fair shot in the main stream media, you were very complimentary of fox, we appreciate it that we're being fair and give you a voice. my question to you is, why stay with the democratic party? would you consider third party? would you consider the no-labels party? or any party? >> well, right now i'm still -- we're still arguing with the dnc in trying to get them to hold actually a fair election. as you pointed out they have disenfranchised now all of the voters, essentially, in iowa and new hampshire, states in which president biden ran fourth the last time around. so they're punishing the states that did not vote for president biden the last time by basically

disinfranchising the voters, making it so that if you live in new hampshire you cannot vote for anybody but president biden this time around. they're trying to do something else, which i think is much more alarming, which is they're trying to pass a rule, they're debating right now to pass a rile, and it's almost certain to pass, that voters in georgia will be disenfranchised if they vote for any of of the -- if they vote for me or for marianne williamson. let me ask you, will you consider running on another party ticket? >> well, you know, right now i'm focused on trying to run as a democrat. this is my home, this is the place i grew up. >> sean: they don't seem very friendly to you. >> i'm hoping to make the democratic party work. >> sean: when sean hannity's nicer to you than they are, you've got a problem. you would agree with that. >> i didn't hear you june if they're not treating you fairly

bleep in my mouth. >> sean: okay no reading writing math science a redact ma particular or computers, that's what we're teaching in school. the left thinks banning these books is censorship. senator josh hawley, missouri, showed him what real censorship looks like. take a look. >> the fifth circuit court of appeals just ruled in a case missouri versus biden, i'm sure you're all familiar with this, it's going to go down i think as a landmark case in the worst possible way in first amendment law because what the court of appeals found is that the white house, not just the federal government, but the white house actively coerced every major social media platform in america, let me say that again. every major social media platform in america, to ban speech that the white house did not like. >> sean: that was a huge ruling and a huge win for his fellow senator eric schmitt. he was the ag who got it started

at the time. here with reaction senator josh hawley. senator hawley first let's get your reaction to what you heard senator kennedy reading at that hearing. >> yeah, sick. it's just unbelievably sick, sean, and the idea that parents shouldn't be able to say, you know, we don't want our kids given this, force fed this, indoctrinated this in our schools. that's just outrageous. yet at the same time the left is saying that, that's censorship, that's censorship, they are using these social media companies to go out and shut down anybody who challenges them. and i mean anybody. we know from that lawsuit, we know from what the court said that parents in my state, for example, who just did things like question dr. fauci and say, is this guy really right about masks, they had their posts taken down. they had their accounts suspended at the direction of the federal government. sean, this is the most anti first amendment administration in history. >> sean: your colleague, eric

schmitt did a great job, thises a huge ruling maybe it's even headed to the supreme court, i don't know. but that's what we learned, that even though the fbi verified the authenticity of hunter's laptop fbi officials were meeting with big tech in the lead up to the 2020 election, warning them you may be given misinformation of joe and hunter biden thens censorship of the real hunter biden laptop story. do you think that had an effect on the 2020 election. >> of course it did. we absolutely know it did. we can ask voters if they knew the real truth of hunter biden would they change their vote and they said yes, it wawas a huge number of people. it was the white house, the fbi, the state department, the whole government was in on this, still is on it, censorship, a constitutional violation and it has got to stop. >> sean: josh hawley missouri, when we come back the great steven a smith talking about
