>> sean: welcome to hannity and also welcome to the upside down world of your liberal democratic socialist party where right is wrong, up is down, and pushing out harvard's president for plagiarism and anti-semitism is racist. this is a democratic party that unilaterally now removes certain candidates from ballots and they call it democracy. a party obsessed with january 6th but still referring to the 574 riots in the summer of 2020 as mostly peaceful and a summer of love. a party that says your southern border is secure while allowing and enabling a nonstop wave, an unprecedented wave of illegal immigration. as a matter of fact, the most in history. a party that blames the border crisis they claim doesn't exist on, let's see, climate change, texas governor abbott, president trump who, himself, secured the border. this is now a party that claims to care so much about disadvantaged youth but, what, some associated with jeffrey

epstein after he was convicted of abusing young girls from poor neighborhoods in florida? in a moment we're going to have much more on the upside down world of this liberal democratic socialist party but first, well, we get to the newest release from the epstein case just earlier, not that long ago tonight, a second batch of court documents were unsealed. joining us now with all the details, our very own nate foy is with us. nate what's the latest. >> reporter: sean in this new batch of documents, lawyers for virginia giuffre and ghislaine maxwell discuss pictures of maxwell at chelsea clinton's wedding as possible evidence in the 2015 civil case. bill clinton himself is again mentioned by giuffre in an e-mail wrote a publisher labeled vf presumably vanity fair, it wrote the e-mail it does concern me what they want to write about me considering b clinton walked into vf and threatened them not

to write sex trafficking article about his good friend je. clinton denies this claim through a spokesperson. attorney allen dershowitz witnesses again mentioned accused of having sex with an underage girl a charge he strongly denies and tonight he's coming out saying there are smoking guns that have not been released yet. with tonight's second batch, 59 documents are now unsealed. giuffre's lawyer tells fox news 240 documents are coming in total. so we're about 25% of the way through. it could take until monday before they're all released. back to you sean. >> sean: all right, nate foy thank you tonight. now let's turn back if we can to the upside world of the democratic socialist party. this very strange relationship that they have with democracy, now it is a word that almost everyone on the left they love to repeat over and over and over again. they claim to cherish and revere democracy, both here, at home

and around the world. but, well, in reality, democrats seem to love democracy in name only. as tomorrow morning i can professor jonathan turley points out, they're now moving to bar donald trump and other republican candidates from ballots all over the country. in some cases using activist judges unelected, in maine a far left biden loving secretary of state unilaterally removing donald trump from the republican primary ballot. so much for letting the voters decide. now, the long-time democrat senate was, quote, her duty to block republicans from voting for trump. oh. one person decides. and then in a great commonwealth of pennsylvania, democrats now there, they're attempting to remove congressman scott perry from the ballot and, according to jonathan turley, the guy that filed the challenge is a former congressional candidate who made headlines burning maga flags with swastikas outside of courthouses. great resume.

in every case a common theme. the word insurrection. a word used by democrats, trump haters over and over and over again talking about january 6th. they always forget the words peacefully patriotically march to the capitol so your voices will be heard. that always gets ignored. now they're using insurrection as an excuse to ban donald trump, other republicans from all future elections. now, none of these candidates, including former president donald trump, were ever convicted of insurrection. as a matter of fact, they were never charged and up to now have never been charged with insurrection. in other words democrats are trying to completely upend what is a real democratic process, one they claim to revere, solely on the base is of their own political smear. this is what you would expect from the communist party in the old soviet union? not really from people who claim to revere democracy. now, of course, many democrats don't actually care about democracy, they just want power

and perpetuity. one party, no checks, no balances, and no descent. they believe deeply in their hearts that we, the american people, simply cannot be trusted and we should not have any say in deciding the vote. take a look at the ty 24 democratic primary, look at north carolina with biden's popularity at an all-time low, state officials there accepting a request from the democratic party to actually remove every candidate from the primary ballot except for joe biden. what a great system. i applaud north carolina. it's just a little too risky to actually have voters have another option. does that seem like real democracy to you? but this is just the beginning. ultimately democrats would like to expand the supreme court, we know about that. they want to pack it with democratic activists that would ledge slate from the bench. they would love to grand statehood to washington, dc and puerto rico. they believe to secure four more democratic u.s. senators. and, of course, they would

absolutely love to grant amnesty to 8.5 million new reliable voters who they aided and a betted in law breaking, and now they would grant the great gift of citizenship. but, of course, i'm sure they wouldn't expect votes in return for that great gift, would they? not the people that dared to insist, you know, you come into the country legally, you're not going to vote for those people, the people that said follow the law, respect our borders, respect our sovereignty, respect our laws. this is all about power in perpetuity, not democracy. so when you have a democrat on fake news cnn or msdnc proclaiming their love for democracy, just know they're nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing. anyway here with reaction, fox news contributor and law professor jonathan turley is with us. you wrote a great piece on this earlier today and you said it's only the latest effort targeting congressional candidates as democrats seek to borrow uponents as insurrectionists.

now, correct me if i'm wrong, has anybody been charged about insurrection that they're citing this word to get off the ballot? because i'm unaware of anybody. >> no, they haven't. and insurrectionist is now the new sort of term. in mccarthy's period you would have fellow travelers of communists. now you have supporters of insurrection. and that is, in fact, the allegation against representative perry. it's not that he was an insurrectionist, but that he supported it by challenging the election of joe biden and supporting those allegations. and the point about my raising that effort is that there is no limiting principle here. that is, people keep on talking about the effort to bar trump. what they need to keep in mind is that years ago, dozens of democrats went on the record saying that they wanted to bar many of the republican colleagues from ever holding off

again. there was legislation that was put forward signed by dozens of democrats saying that they're all fellow travelers of insurrectionists. that's the same underlying theory under the 14th amendment that is being used in the trump case. so this could be replicated throughout the country. and that's what makes this not just so untenable and unfounded, but so dangerous for our democracy. >> sean: all right. so let me ask you this. explain why the 14th amendment doesn't apply. i mean, just, i don't know, 14th amendment for dummies if you will, for people that can't read the very plain language in it because it seems very obvious to me and i'm not the constitutional scholar that you are. >> well, many of the appeals in states like colorado and maine, have raised the fact that this amendment refers to a different oath that is taken not by the

president, but by other office holders. also refers to federal officials which they insist do not reference the president but generally reference people appointed by the president, lower ranked officials. my biggest objection is that the key of section 3 is, are the words insurrection and rebellion. we have neither on january 6th. january 6th was many things. none of them good. but i don't believe that it was an insurrection. and either do most of the members of the public that were polled. they view this of what it was which was a protest that became a riot and that's the reason you haven't had people charged with insurrection. you've had a relatively small number of people charged with seditious conspiracy but that's interrupting with official proceedings. so there is this disconnect there. and but the other aspect about this, which is troubling, is that the advocates are saying

that it is self-enforcing. that there's no act of congress that is required. so you can go to someone, like the secretary of state in maine, bellows, who said right after january 6th that it was an insurrection and say do you think this is an insurrection and she said yeah. and she then barred trump from the ballot. >> can you explain this to me? in the summer of 2020 we were told all the riots we were witnessing before our very eyes day after day night after night that killed a couple of americans, injured thousands of police officers, they were being hit with bricks and rocks and bottles and molotov cocktails, thousands of cops injured, billions in property damage. we have a lot of videotape evidence. those were riots i condemned in real time january 6th on my radio show that night on my very tv show. i said that can't happen in our country. but nor can what happened in the summer of 2020. why has there never been any interest at all whatsoever, with

all the evidence available, video evidence of people committing crimes and rioting, why was there never any interest in that? >> well, that's the danger of this theory is that it is so subjective for people like bellows. you know, keep in mind, democratic members use this very same law to oppose the certification of republican presidents. there were opposition to certification in congress when there were riots in washington, violent riots. now, were all of those people rebels and insurrectionists? no. those were protests. they were not well founded. i didn't think that the objection to the biden certification were well founded. i said at the time. but that doesn't mean that it's a rebellion. and that's the danger that the supreme court's now going to have to look at. this could metastasize throughout the country. you know, sean, this country is the most successful tee mock

craze in history. it is the most stable democracy in history. and what these advocates have done through this blind rage is to introduce an instability that hasn't existed before. it is to put us on the slippery slope to political chaos if we adopt this theory. that's why the supreme court needs to act with finality and i hope unanimity. >> sean: i hope so, too. i would anticipate it but, you know what? you can never predict those things as you know better than anybody. jonathan turley great to have you. thank you. happy new year >> as we predicted on tuesday, all right, biden's first ad for the 2024 campaign, it's not about all his great accomplishments -- oh, that's right, he doesn't have any. instead, joe biden is dusting off, let's see, donald trump, donald trump, donald trump, january 6th, january 6th, january 6th, they'll get to abortion, but this is the first ad. it has nothing to do with biden or success because he doesn't have any.

take a look. >> i've made the preservation of american democracy the central issue of my. i believe in free and fair elections the right to vote fairly and have your vote counted. something dangerous happened in america, there's an extremist movement who does not share the basic believes in our democracy. >> sean: could they get a joe biden moment where maybe he doesn't sound like he's muck and bubbling. anyway the ad was released after democratic activists posing as historian met with joe biden at the white house this week reportedly imploring him to be more hostile against republicans. oh, he's not hostile enough? they can't tout a single biden success so let's fixate on trump, january 6th. let's ignore those riots we were just talking about with jonathan turley, 574 in the summer of love. let's lie about abortion and dem going that issue. let's call republicans,

transphobic homophobic, sen pope i can and want grandma and grand dad dad. ad to that january 6th abortion and trump. here is ryan pre business fox news contributor charlie hurt. first crack at it, former rnc chair, you've seen that play book over and over again but they're now adding three new elements, abortion, january 6th, and donald trump is evil. that's all they'll run on. >> well, first of all, a couple quick points, sean. number one, i don't buy this threats to democracy case that democrats are making. not that i don't buy that they're saying it, i don't buy that they believe it. if they really believe that the united states as we know it would cease to exist if donald trump was elected president, they wouldn't be sitting there with joe biden at 30% approval at a 70% wrong track, 75% of

democrats don't want him to be the nominee. there is no chance in the world that if they actually believed that, they would be sitting there with joe biden. second thing, the fundamental mistake that they're making. they have a real fundamental problem. they want to make this election about donald trump. they want it all to be about donald trump because they don't want it to be about joe biden and his mess that's going around in the world and on the border and the fentanyl and the craziness in the schools so they want to make it about trump. the problem is that they've got joe biden on the ballot who's not trump, but then they're introducing a jill stein, who's not a trump. then they're introducing cornell west, who's not trump. then they're introducing robert kennedy who's not trump. and finally they put a no labels candidate on the ballot who's not trump. so they're giving all of these voters that they're stirring up about democracy four options to choose from as opposed to just

trump. and my advice, the polling that we're seeing to the trump campaign, is expand the map. you look at minnesota, you look at virginia, donald trump's already beating joe biden in those states if not in the margin of error. so they're making all the wrong moves. i think they've got a bad candidate obviously but also making a lot of fundamental mistakes. >> sean: charlie i keep saying that up until now you could argue donald trump has been able to defy historical, traditional, all political gravity, all past models and paradigms are gone. he gets indicted his poll numbers go up, he gets arraigned, his poll numbers go up i think democrats and the liberal media mob might have been able to accomplish something that i never thought possible. they have turned donald trump into a sympathetic figure. i think the american people, with a genuine sense of fairness, seriously, they see injustice when they see it, and they see one lie, one pile on

after another, and they kind of now have tuned it all out. oh, well donald trump did business with the communist chinese they stayed at his hotel in washington. he's just like hunter biden. i'm like, no. nice try though. >> yeah. and, of course, their only hope, because they don't want to talk about issues, is to try to talk about donald trump as an extremist and talk about his supporters as extremists because they're just desperate not to talk about any of the issues. on the issues, the only extremist in this race is joe biden. the only extremist when it comes to the border, an open border's policy, is joe biden. donald trump, unlike any of the democrats in power today, or any of the candidates, you know, any of the democrat candidates that are on the ballot, are, you know, he is in the main stream,

80, 70, 80, 90% when it comes to issues like immigration or the economy or crime and all of these things. so, of course, joe biden has nothing to do but to try to gin up this business of trying to say that donald trump and his supporters are extremists because they want to make it -- they think they have the media on their side, and they do. the media's going to do everything they can to portray donald trump as some sort of extremist. but the problem is, people know they lived for four years with donald trump's policies and now they lived for three years under joe biden's policies and there's no doubt what people prefer, including a lot of democrat voters and independent voters. they prefer the policies of the main stream normal guy, donald trump, over the extremist joe biden. >> sean: and peace and prosperity drive elections, and the age old question, are you better off than you were four

years ago, that will be a question. exit question, charlie's going to hate me, he knows it's coming. will joe biden be running for the democrats. charlie? >> it looks like he is. i guess there's still time before the convention for them to slip somebody else in, but as of now, you know, he's their guy and it stinks for them. >> sean: rience you get the last word. biden on the ticket? >> absolutely. i've said that for a year on your show hannity. he's their guy they're stuck with him and they're going to suffer the major consequence of that. >> sean: all right. time will tell. we have iowa in 11 days. i can't believe here we are. welcome, the game resist about to begin. when we come back democrats keep saying racism is to blame for harvard president claudine gay's resignation. we're lucky tonight we get the great senator john kennedy from louisiana, he gives us his reaction straight ahead. ♪

♪ >> sean: all right, so never missing an opportunity to play identity politics, the left continues to blame racism for former harvard president claudine gay's resignation. earlier today the reverend al sharpton led his group, the national action network, in a protest outside of billionaire harvard alum bill akman's office to show his attacks on dei president gay and black americans have consequences. akman responded on x, the platform formally known as twitter offering to meet with the reverend al sharpton regarding his concern. anyway there's only one person i want to hear reaction from all of this and that ace louisiana senator john kennedy. senator, you've seen the exchange with these three

presidents of these three big colleges and elise stefanik. we've all seen the tape. their answers were appalling, shocking and frankly repulsive. i don't know why it took also charges of plagiarism for claudine gay to go, but i just want your reaction. >> dr. gay, of course, has resigned. she should have. i bear her no ill will. my advice to her, for what it's worth, is when one door closes, sometimes you need to get a hammer and some nails and make sure that sob stays shut because dr. gay had no business running a university. the plagiarism allegations against her are serious. i think most americans found

repugnant. her suggestion, expressed or implied, that it might be okay to kill jewish people in the proper context. my biggest quarrel with dr. gay is that she does not understand the purpose of a university. the purpose of a university is to make young people think, not to make them comfortable. the discussion of ideas should not be closed off. there's not only -- there's not only one point of view. if you want to believe that mathis racist and merit is privilege, or that men can breast feed, this is america, you're entitled to believe that. but other students who disagree should feel free to disagree. and the truth is that every advancement, every single one, in art, science, philosophy, technology, cooking, golf, came when someone challenged the

rules, challenged dogma and said there's a better way and that's what our universities should encourage instead of just one point of view, which i think dr. gay was guilty of. >> sean: well, we all know how conservatives are treated on college campuses around the country. diversity, equity and inclusion, dei as they call it, what is your reaction to that? >> well, let me answer by responding to reverend sharpton. i've read his comments and he, of course, is entitled to his opinion. here's mine. america is not perfect but we are good. like every other civilization, america caught the disease of slavery, but we beat it back and we're proud of that. and since then, we've past civil rights laws in 18 66, 1871,

1875, 1960, 1964, 1968, 1990, 1991. we made a lot of racial progress in this country and i think we've reached the point where most, not all, but most americans don't think about, that much about race, they think about character. they understand, as i've said before, that to a bear we all taste like chicken. now i don't believe race should be used to harm a person or to help a person, and i think most americans believe that. i don't think reverend sharpton would agree with me. i think he believes that to disregard race is racist, and that, to me, is unconstitutional and morally wrong, but he's entitled to his point of view. >> sean: how is it that joe biden seems to have gotten away with -- and this happened in the lead up to the 2020 campaign, and that is that he partnered with a former ku klux klansman

by the name of robert bird and fought against the integration of public schools, it was his words not mine that he didn't want public schools to become racial jungles. how is it that a democratic party, you know they would go after any conservative that held that position and fought for that position. how come joe biden got a pass? >> well, i think, i think most members of the media, not all, but most members of the media have tried to help president biden as much as they can. i know with many members of the media in my state that's been the case. but, as i said the other day, the american people are not stupid, but they think that joe biden is. and there's a lot of evidence for that. he's running out of toes to shoot off. the border is exhibit a. and as i've also said on your

show before, the american people, they're busy. they don't have time to read socrates every date they're busy making a living but sooner or later they figure it out and they have figured it out with respect to president biden, his friends in the media notwithstanding and i think he's going to have a rough election cycle. >> sean: i think it's going to be a roller coaster of a year, probably unprecedented, unlike any we've seen in our lifetime. that is maybe the one certainty we can talk about at this point. senator kennedy, happy new year, great to see you. thanks for being back with us. when we come back, things are so bad, the biden white house, his administration is reportedly throwing a party. why? to help boost morale. when we come back, kayleigh mcenany, lisa boothe will join us and the president's attorney alaina habba also coming up straight ahead. ♪ as a police administrator. i oversee approximately 20 people

♪ >> sean: now, things are so dire in the biden white house that the administration is reportedly throwing a morale booster party for the staff amid more backlash over the israel policy. according to politico, a new anonymous letter penned by campaign staffers renewed calls for quote a ceasefire. the letter said, in part, quote, biden for president staff have seen volunteers quit in droves. but it's not just campaign staff who are upset, a second administration official, this time from the department of education, has now resigned over biden's response to the war in israel. and outside of his own staff, the sentiment, well, it's not much better as he continues to feel the heat not only from radical squad members but democratic allies as well. here with reaction, outnumbered cohost kayleigh mcenany, fox news contributor lisa boothe. did you ever need a morale

booster party in the trump white house, kayleigh? i never heard of one, maybe it did happen. i have no idea. >> no. we never had a morale boosting party because we had a president who stands on principle. president trump, you knew what he stood for, take it or leave it. what he said he was going to do, he actually did, promises made, promises kept. but with biden, he has no principle. it's all about partisanship. if he had principle he'd stand with israel and wouldn't cause them to reverse their military strategy especially as we enter this month, ca fear dave's first birthday he celebrates his first birthday as a hostage the youngest israeli hostage no instead he's half way with israel half way with the progressive left and the progressives they won't have it. >> sean: so lisa you have, in november, 400 government officials, 40 departments and agencies within the administration signing a letter opposing the president's handling of the war demanding a ceasefire. this is right after israel was

hit with the worst terror attack in their history. if you extrapolate their population versus our population, it would have been the equivalent of 40,000 americans being killed in a single day. how would america react to being lectured by other countries and ally countries about a ceasefire rather than encouraging them to go win the war against those people that killed their innocent citizens? where's the moral can clarity disconnect here? >> i think we would give them the middle finger and tell them to go pound sand. >> sean: well, maybe we would. i don't know if joe biden would, that's the problem. >> yeah, actually, that's a good point. but, you know, who would want to go to this party, to a party where everyone is fighting, because that's what's happening for joe biden right now. you just laid out the mutiny from staff that he's facing. that letter the other day from 17 campaign staffers present, hundreds of staffers last month signed onto a letter, hundreds of alumni as well, even interns

are writing letters complaining to joe biden about his stance on the middle east. and then he also is facing this divide among the democrat electorate as well. there is this new york times sienna poll last month showing the democrat voters are pretty evenly divided on whether they support israel or they support palestine which is a really sad reflex and a sad declaration of where the democrat party is today where they are willing to stand with hamas and hamas's sympathizers over innocent israelis who were slaughtered in a terror attack. >> sean: let's look at their strategy. i don't see any one policy, kayleigh that joe can run on and say he's been successful at. i don't care if it's foreign policy. things aren't looking too good in europe. things aren't looking good with the new axis of evil, russia charly arnolt and iran, i don't particular later like what's going on around the world and in testimony middle east. i think basically china has bullied biden and gotten away with everything. the question is, will their

strategy of only talking about trump, january 6th, and demogogging abortion and calling republicans racist and every other name will that be enough to win a campaign. >> it's hard to imagine it will be. sean i worked on a presidential campaign for president trump and i remember, as he's announcing, an incumbent president ready to run again we sat back as a campaign, what do we have to tout? we have record low unemployment, we have wage gains for black americans, hispanic americans. you know, we have a soaring economy. and this was before covid hit, of course, which changed a lot of things. but we had a ton. supreme court, immigration, the border under control, the word peaceful, no wars started under president trump, russia not redrawing the map. we had more than enough to run on. joe biden, it is very telling that tomorrow his entire strategy will be january 6th. it is telling that before the midterms, had is strategy was

blood red maga speech. if you are a maga individual, you're a clear and present danger were his words. that is the strategy. now, mildly successful in the midterms but you can argue there were bad candidates on the republican side and biden wasn't on the ballotment i don't think it works when biden's on the ballot vis-a-vis president trump with the record he had as president. >> sean: lisa i'm making the case as often as i can that conservatives and republicans if they want to win elections they better get over their reluctance of voting early and voting by mail. i'm telling republicans they better get in the legal ballot harvesting efforts to match the democratic party. i'm also saying they better be very careful and not go too radical and extreme on abortion because democrats, even if they're not extreme, will be demogoggig that issue trying to get female voters into believing

they want to take away their right to abortion. no they don't want abortion without any restriction at all which is the extreme democrat platform. >> sean look what they're trying to do, they're trying to get all the abortion ballot managers in swing states. they're already trying to push that plan. here, i pray that this is a good election cycle for republicans. if it's donald trump i hope he wins. but even with all of that, all the head winds going in donald trump's favor in 2020, look what they did. they used covid to append the election. that's what democrats do. they try to win by hook or by crook. so we don't know what they're going to try to do this election cycle. they even had 51 former intel officers lie to the american people with no shame, lying about hunter biden's laptop. i mean, these people are evil. they're going to try to win doing anything they can. and, look, i've worked on a lot of campaigns over the years. it is hard to change the dynamics of the race now with mail-in balloting. i mean, look at pennsylvania. >> sean: they're trying to mitigate, you know, the hunter biden, no experience, addicted

to drugs, joe biden taking professional action as vice-president to help his son make a lot of money. oh, that's the same as donald trump's hotel having guests from foreign countries. okay. i don't see the comparison. anyway, thank you both. happy new year. lisa good to see you, kayleigh happy new year to you. straight ahead trump's legal spokesperson alina habba speaks with the doj about their efforts to get trump, the colorado ballot issue and much more straight ahead. ♪ now it contains 70 minerals and 80 additional nutrients. i suggest you try immuno 150 if you want a chance to be in good health and feel good when you're 89 years old like me, with no arthritis, no heart problems, no diabetes or high blood pressure, dementia or aches or pains of any kind. now immuno 150 contains eight times more minerals than the average food.

some statute and apply it to a former president. he has not been charged with insurrection. he has not been prosecuted for it, he has not been found guilty of it. but this state, as well as colorado, would like to find him guilty of it and take him off a ballot. insurrection under the 14th amendment, let is not forget sean, was to prevent people from a war who were pro slavery, who were anti american from taking office. that is not this. he has never been charged for a due process. still i would like to think exists in this country. i think it should be a slam dunk in the supreme court. i have faith in them. you know, people like kavanaugh, who the president fought for, who the president went through hell to get into place. he'll step up. those people will step up. not because they're pro trump but because they're pro raw, because they're pro fairness and the law on this is is very clear. >> sean: let's talk about the

issue of presidential immunity maybe a little more complicated on a legal sense but the argument is simple. if you're taking actions as president of the united states, that would provide you immunity from prosecution. where does that stand in your mind? >> to me it's something i've argued and won on many times. i just won on the bivens claim with michael cohen in new york last week in the second circuit. i think we have to remember something. presidents have the entire branch of government, the executive branch. that doesn't mean they take it lightly, that means they have to effectively governor the country, protect us from war and certain things and do the right thing without fear of coming out every four years ago being prosecuted and percent executed. what they're doing to donald trump is unprecedented. you've covered it. we know that. we don't want that for any president. any president, let alone we don't want to set that precedent. two different things. so what i argue is not for president trump, it's for all presidents, it's for the executive branch. we have to have them be able to govern this country in a way

without being fear of somebody saying you defamed me. you put me in jail for the wrong reason. you were an insurrectionist when you were actually just asking for election integrity, actually asking for us to take a close examination to preserve american constitution and democracy. that's what president trump has done. and presidential immunity is very important, it's never been questioned because nobody's ever been prosecuted like donald trump. but i'm excited for the supreme court to look at that as well. i think they're going to have. i think it's very clean cut again. i think that it's important. >> sean: do you think, and i mentioned this earlier how president trump seems to defy all, you know, conventional political gravity. in other words, with every pile-on, every new charge, it seems to help him in the polls. what do you attribute that to? >> derangeness. i hate to use his word but it is. look, we've got a rogue prosecutor, jack smith you mentioned it before i came on. jack smith is just ignoring a

stay motion. he's filing motions despite the fact that they said there is a stay. that is a complete disrespect to the order of law and the rule of law and that is why his poll numbers go up. the american people are not stupid they're afraid and they're going to put their votes behind trump because of it. >> sean: it's going to be interesting to watch, the time line now unfold as the supreme court did not step in to expedite that case. we'll see how that works its way through the courts. alaina, we'll be getting updates from you probably throughout the year. thanks for being with us. happy new year >> coming up zero experience hunter, guess what? he's on to his next endeavor. this time off to hollywood, we'll explain, we get reaction from pam bondi straight ahead.

♪ >> sean: no experience hunter biden and the guy described as his sugar brother kevin morris are apparent reply on to the next scheme. the hollywood lawyer is now reportedly backing a documentary

about the first son and has quietly had cameras following hunter for years. according to the la times, the film will show hunter painting, spending time with his family, living life as a sober adult amid his legal battles which will be a slightly different film than the content found on hunter's laptop. here with reaction, former florida attorney general pam bondi. we could just get permission and run that, i think it would probably do better at the box office of. just my guess though. what do you make of this arrangement? >> well, you know, he needs to tread very carefully, sean, because everything he says can be used against him. it sounds like this is just another pathetic attempt by the left, by the liberals, to help minimize charges, very serious charges, against hunter biden. and everything hunter biden does has a lot of money attached to it. so now we know hunter picasso biden wants to be a who havey star in hollywood and would probably win an oscar for it because he'll have to tell a lot

of fibs to get out of everything that he's done. it's really shocking that they're actually filming him because none of this is privileged. >> sean: okay, so yo we know, you know, bragged about taking official action, demanding the firing of a prosecutor so his son that admitted in his own words he had no experience in energy, gas, oil in ukraine could be paid millions at a time when he was admittedly addicted to drugs. now democrats in the house are trying to compare the fact that, well, some people from foreign countries, 20 foreign countries stay at trump's hotel in washington, dc as if that is the equivalent. well, number one, there's actually a service that was provided, a hotel room. number two, i tend to doubt that donald trump got a daily list of who was staying in the trump hotels. but that's theering a now, they're trying to muddy the waters and say, see, donald trump was colluding with china and all these other countries, i

can hear it now. what's your response to that? >> i can hear it now, too. not even close though sean. donald trump is one of the most accomplished entrepreneurs in our country, in our history of our country and herb is a drug addict. yeah, legitimate businesses from all over the world and countries stayed at the trump properties because they are spectacular. hunter biden was a drug attic, he couldn't even speak any other language, yet he's getting paid multi millions of dollars. the biden family received multi million dollar payments from our enemies from many countries who are considered our enemies, not even close. but, again sean, thas how the left manipulates everything. and they will continue to manipulate it. but i know the american people are seeing through it and i think they're sick and tired of it. >> sean: i think they're tired of it. do you think that muddies the

waters? becaused the media that showed no interest in hunter, no experience, joe taking action that benefited his son, all of a sudden they're interested. oh, a hotel room was rented to a chinese national. will they be successful in muddying the waters? we have about 10 seconds. >> absolutely not, sean, they will not be successful. again the american people are seeing through it. what hunter biden did was, he was not qualified and took millions of dollars from foreign countries. >> sean: yeah. all right, pam bondi, thank you. happy new year. unfortunately that's all the time we have left this evening. always always thank you for being with us and making the show possible. please set your dvr so you never, ever, ever miss an episode of hannity. in the meantime, let not your heart be troubled. by the way, broadcasting from the free state of florida, our new broadcast home. let not your heart be troubled. greg gutfeld is next. have a great night. ♪ [cheers and applause
