6:01 pm
>> sean: welcome to "hannity." breaking tonight, hunter biden has finally agreed to comply with a legally binding house subpoena. in fact, will appear before congress on february 28th for his deposition to testify in his father's impeachment inquiry. the house oversight committee chairman, james comer, has all the details. we have an exclusive interview coming up straight ahead. but first, the big winner of the iowa caucuses, donald j. trump, will join us for an exclusive interview and just a moment. now the 45th president is looking to build on his historic win in iowa with another strong performance in new hampshire, and of course beyond. the ultimate goal, victory in november. america and the world, frankly, they are at a tipping point, even a breaking point. overseas, cargo ships and troops are under constant attack, facing a barrage of missiles and suicide drones from iranian proxies. this american carrier ship was

6:02 pm
hit by houthi rebels, terrorists, just yesterday. the joe biden refuses to let our military respond in any real meaningful way. our spineless commander in chief is scared of iran and so he cowers in fear, even pakistan launched retaliatory air strikes inside of iran, but not joe biden. he seems perfectly content letting them pretty much do whatever they want. back at home, guess what? the country is falling apart. you see it every day. the border, it's a disaster. inflation through the roof. homelessness, an all-time record high. the economy, a nightmare. 60% of americans living paycheck to paycheck. we desperately need to get our country back on track. so now, here with more on his plan to make america great again, the 45th president of the united states, donald trump. mr. president, great to have you back, sir. how are you? >> thank you very much. that is some list you read off,
6:03 pm
and you can probably double and triple it. it's so bad, i don't think we've ever been in a position like this. it's terrible what happened to our country in three years. >> sean: let's start and iowa, though. the largest margin of victory prior to your 30-point win on monday was bob dole in 1988, with just under 13% victory margin. this is historic in so many ways. how do you analyze this? what happened? why was this bigger than any other iowa caucus? >> because the biden administration is so bad, and we now have a contrast. you didn't have a contrast so much before. now you have a contrast of what happened. you get the most votes of any sitting president in history, and then somebody else takes over and they take a look at what we had versus what they have now. the difference is so stark, so massive, so different. the country is a different place. we were respected all over the
6:04 pm
world. we got the largest tax cuts ever come of the largest regulation cuts ever. we rebuild our military, sean. we did everything, even right to try. you know it right to try is? if you are able to use some of these incredible new drugs they are making. bio drugs, other drugs, people's lives are being saved. you can never do that. you would have to go to asia, europe, different places all over the world. now you get them here, and that was a hard thing. 58 years, they tried to get that. if you are terminally ill, they didn't want to give you a drug even if they thought it might work. because they said we don't want to hurt the people. i said, no, they are terminally ill. we've got to do something, and we got it done. it was not easy, either. the drug companies, nobody wanted it. the country didn't want it. they were worried about liability. people now sign the document. there's no liability and they can take these drugs. sean, we are saving thousands of thousands of lives. it's been an amazing miracle. we did so much, and you would have never had ukraine, you would never have had the attack
6:05 pm
on israel. none of these things, and he would not have had inflation because i had oil solo. now we have the exact opposite. we have a mess. we have the worst president in history. >> sean: let me ask you this, and i love the state of new hampshire. i love the people of new hampshire. i don't like their primary system for one reason. they have what is called an open primary. already we know that nearly 4,000 democratic voters have switched affiliation to republican or undeclared, meaning independent, ahead of the primary, according to the secretary of state's office. and it is believed, for example, one woman who is a cochair of nikki haley's campaign, her own daughter, a democrat, changed her affiliation from democrat to republican to vote for haley in the primary. even governor sununu told our own neil cavuto that it's troubling that many of these people that will switch democrats and turn to independence and vote in the
6:06 pm
republican primary, when push comes to shove, they would choose by then in the end over y republican. i'm not that fond of that system. does that concern you? the real clear politics average has you up by 13. the suffolk poll had you up by 16. there was the cnn poll that had you up by seven. is that system bother you? >> it bothers me, and the governor should have done something about it instead of talking and waste his time with nikki, because she's not going to make it. she has no chance, no way. maga is not going to be with her, and the democrats voting, it doesn't say that. it says about nikki that 50% of the republicans would be lost to nikki, only to nikki, not even ron desanctimonious. it's a bad thing for us. he has a system where democrats are allowed to vote in the republican primary? new hampshire is an incredible place. i love the people. we won new hampshire last time. it was fantastic what we did. we have great spirit, great
6:07 pm
everything, that you need a system, a governor that's going to get it changed, not just talking about it. he's been talking about it for four years, never got it done. so democrats are allowed to vote, and they're going to vote for her because they don't want to run against me. they want to run against her. it's a very simple system. we are leading by it in every poll. michigan just came out, leading by 11. georgia just came out, leading by 13 points. we are leading everywhere now, and she's not. she has one obsolete poll she uses that's about two months old where she was leading biden. well, she's not leading biden anymore. the problem is the democrats want her to run desperately, so they have a lot of democrats signing up in new hampshire. but i don't think it's going to matter. i saw one where we are at 50 or 51, and she was at 34, i believe. i think we'll be in very good shape, likely where -- if you look at iowa, nobody knew we were going to blow it out like that. i think it finishes close to 53.
6:08 pm
we have won by 30 some odd points, and nobody thought that was possible. we doubled the all-time record. more than doubled, i guess, the all-time record. i think a similar thing will happen here. but independence and democrats are allowed to vote. in order to try and stop trump, they go out and they sign up and they can sign up very easily. and chris sununu should have stopped it. >> sean: let me ask you, you got a lot of praise for your speech, your victory speech in iowa, and people noticed that you are particularly gracious. i noticed in the last town hall we did together, the one you did with bret and martha, that you seem to have taken on a more gracious tone, if that's a way to say it. maybe the question i get asked most often -- i've asked you this question before, why is donald trump always fighting so hard? dennis miller brought this up on the program last night. a little bit of humility with donald trump would go a long
6:09 pm
way. yes, he's been persecuted, his family has suffered, he suffered, yes, it's been unfair, but he fights hard. he loves his country, and sometimes maybe you shouldn't be as personal. what was your reaction to that? >> well, i know it, and i know it very well, but we also have to win, sean. if i were a different type of person, i think i would have been out of the office a long time ago. they hit me with russia, russia, russia before the election, even. if you look at it, it was before the 2016 election. it was all set up. i fired james comey, i did a big job. we got rid of a lot of the deep state. i will tell you, we had covid two and half years later, but nobody ever had a better economy. we had the greatest economy in the history of our country, we had the strongest border in the history of our country. i built over 500 miles of wall. we got mexico to give us 28,000 free soldiers, free of charge. not that easy to get, by the way. i had to do a lot of maneu maneuvering, including tariffs
6:10 pm
and other things to get it. by the way, speaking of tariffs, we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from china, and of that we gave $28 billion to our farmers because they were abused by china. what china did to our farmers was horrible and we did a great job for our country. the largest tax cuts in history. the democrats want to double up and triple up on the taxes. they want to double your taxes and triple your taxes. i got you the biggest, bigger than the reagan tax cuts. you and i were talking about that the other day. our cuts were substantially bigger. we got rid of the death tax, the estate tax for farmers and small manufacturers. what we did was amazing, and getting back to your one part of the question, we did all of that and we had to fight off all the witch hunts and the scandals and the horrible -- these people, what they did, russia, russia, russia. ukraine, ukraine, ukraine. 51 intelligence agents saying
6:11 pm
the laptop from hell was created by russia, not by hunter biden. it was hunter biden all the way. they lied to congress, they lied to everybody. two impeachments that went nowhere. they went absolutely nowhere. but if i were a softer individual -- and i'll tell you something, ron desantis or nikki or anybody else, if they were in my position, if they were here, they would have been hit just as hard. these people play tough, much tougher than the republicans play, and the republicans have to get tougher. i know nikki very well. she worked for me for a long time. she would not be able to handle that position. she would not be able to handle the onslaught. with all that being said, within the republican party i want to bring unity, and within the nation i want to bring unity. unity is going to come from success, because when we had this country, prior to covid, and even after covid, but especially prior to covid, the china virus coming in, we had the most successful country ever
6:12 pm
in history. there's never been anything like it, what we did. and the other side was calling me, and they were coming to me. they wanted to talk. it was all coming together. success will bring everybody under the same tent. >> sean: you know, i covered all of that. i cannot disagree with you. frankly, this show, me, personally, i've been vindicated. because as many networks peddled their lives and theories, day in and day out, we were peeling every layer of the onion. we got the russia hoax right, as indicated by the horowitz report and the durham report. i do want to ask you this, the last time he interviewed you i ask you if you think that joe biden is going to be the democratic nominee, and you said no. do you still feel that way? if you don't think it's him, who do you think is likely to replace him? >> look, he can't put two sentences together.
6:13 pm
he can't find the stage, and there's a lot of them up there, they're all over the place. he can't find his way off the stage when he makes a very short speech, and it has to be short, because it can't be long. he can't negotiate. look at what's happened. the whole world is blowing -- the prime minister of hungary, very tough guy, smart guy, brilliant guy, very respected, but tough. they asked what's going on with the world and he said one thing, very simple, bring back trump. when trump was here, everybody was afraid of trump. i don't want to say that because i don't like that word, but he said it. he's probably the toughest leader over there, one of the toughest anywhere. but highly respected, and he gets it. he said, you bring back trump, it's all going to disappear. they all respected trump and they were afraid of trump, but they respected trump. it is true. putin would have never attacked ukraine. i got along with putin. it's good to get along with people like putin and like others. you take a look at what's going on with china, they are just
6:14 pm
licking their chops right now to go into taiwan. they wouldn't have even thought about it with me. i had talks with president xi, i have a great relationship. if hillary clinton would have won that, you would have had a nuclear war with north korea. kim jong un, i got along with him, too. i only know mike not only got to talk to him, i got along with him great. it's good to talk with people who have massive nuclear weapons and they have a large nuclear stockpile. i did the job, and we made america great again, and these people, what they're doing to our country, they are allowing millions and millions of people to pour through. it is an invasion into our country, and they are coming from prisons and they are coming from mental institutions. mental institutions and insane asylums, and prisons, are being emptied all over the world. not just in south america, all over the world. they being emptied out into our country. we are like a dumping ground. you know what else is coming and? terrorists are coming in, and we
6:15 pm
have to stop it. this next 11 months or ten months is a very dangerous period. >> sean: we have been able to count the numbers of people coming from iran and syria. thousands from egypt, thousands from afghanistan, 12,000 from russia, 26,000 from china. showing up at our southern border. nobody's ever going to convince me that all of them are coming here for a better life for them and their family. amongst them are not people that have nefarious intentions. let me ask you this. usually after four years a president can ask a question, are you better off than you or four years ago? i don't think joe biden can run on that. as a matter fact, they pretty much telegraphed what they're going to run on. democracy in peril, trump is evil, trump is evil, trump is evil, and dangerous, and you got to fear him. january 6th, january 6th, and the usual playbook, republicans are racist and sexist and have every phobia known to man, whether it's real or not.
6:16 pm
and they want dirty air and water. that's all they've got. i don't see any one issue that joe biden can run on. what will your answer to their predictable attacks be? >> well, that's all they have is right, because their economy has been terrible, the inflation has destroyed anybody that even made a little more money. or a lot more money, it got eaten alive by inflation. when you look at the price increases of energy, housing, and rental housing. i looked the other day, it's up almost 51%. the cost of bacon quadrupled. all these things. i mean, food costs, closing costs, no matter what you are making, it doesn't matter. inflation is known as a country buster. it breaks countries. it broke germany, it broke a lot of countries. we have had the worst inflation we've had i think in 78 years. they say 52, it's probably more than 78.
6:17 pm
it's been a disaster, and all in the wrong places. i had no inflation, and i had the greatest economy ever. we had gasoline at $1.87. now it's $4 or $5. but, by the way, they're working together with other countries, sadly, because it's artificial, because they are going to give it up right after the election. you seen that before. but they are working to prices down. it's an artificial reduction. but the gasoline was up to $6, $7, $8 a gallon. and it is still very high, much too high. but we had the greatest economy in history, and what else did we have? no inflation. we had the safest border in the history of our country, and it was like a beautiful, beautiful thing was taking place. we had a border, and i got mexico to do a lot for us. now mexico is saying we want $5 billion just to talk. mexico wouldn't have talked to me that way. i have a great relationship with the president. but mexico had to pay a lot. they gave us 28,000 soldiers, free of charge, to guard our
6:18 pm
border. and when i first presented that to them, they laughed. i thought i was kidding. but through a series of negotiations, they gave us everything we wanted. remember, remain in mexico, that was me. remain in mexico. nobody can come in. you think mexico was happy about that? they gave it to me. catch and release in mexico. i call it a catch and release in mexico. we had catch and release in the united states, and mexico did that. they give us things nobody can believe. the state department couldn't believe it, the border patrol people couldn't believe it. nobody could believe it. nobody could believe it. if you talk to tom homan, and if you talk to anybody from border patrol -- and they have great people. they have great people. they will tell you, the greatest president in history for the border, for immigration, was trump. not even a contest. not even a contest. >> sean: let me ask you about the states that are trying to remove you from the ballot. it's kind of ironic, isn't it? a party that is making an
6:19 pm
argument that democracy is in peril couldn't be more undemocratic as they try to remove your name from even running and even having your name on the ticket. now, i don't think this is going to hold. i have to believe the supreme court will intervene. if there is real justice, it should be a unanimous 9-0 opinion, in my view. what is your reaction? because you are the person they're trying to kick off the ticket, but they are the ones claiming you are not democratic. pretty ironic. >> well, we put on three great justices, and you have the other great justices that they are, and they're not going to take the vote away from the people. the history of the iowa primary, going back a long time, i went back by the most -- nobody's ever won, as you know, because you covered it very well, but everybody covered it. even the bad reporters covered in this way. nobody even close. i'm more than doubled up the
6:20 pm
second best. it stood for a long time, as you know, that record. they want to make sure -- i'm sure the supreme court can say we are not going to take the vote away from the people. now, biden is a threat to democracy. he is an absolute threat to democracy. he's very dangerous for a couple of reasons. number one, he's grossly incompetent, the number one reason. but he's also -- actually, in his own way, it's not him, it's the people around him. he set very bad people surrounding him at that desk. you have people running the department of justice surrounding him. they are young and smart and they are communists and they are marxists, fascists, and they are running this country. they are running it right into the ground. but i don't think the supreme court would do it, because you can't take the vote. you know, i'm leading in every poll. i'm leading biden, but i'm leading the remaining republicans. there's two of them and they are barely hanging on. how can you possibly take the vote away? >> sean: just in the last two
6:21 pm
days, two credible polls, suffolk and st. anselm, they nailed your number, i think off by one. they hadn't 52, not 51. they have you up i think by 16 now. they have you up by 14. these are the most recent polls, post-iowa polls. >> that's in new hampshire. but if you look at the national polls -- >> sean: i look at those, too. >> in new hampshire we are doing great. i'm up by 65 points in the national polls. and i'm up by 11, 12, 13 points to the democrats. >> sean: i know you have to run to an event. by the way, our deepest sympathy to the first lady on the loss of her mom. please convey that to her for us. >> thank you. she was a great woman, sean. >> sean: what is a closing message to the people of hampshire? speak a very simple, make america great again. before we do this, because you were talking about the supreme court, they have two votes very important coming up. one, as we discussed, we call it
6:22 pm
colorado or whatever, but i really believe they will lead the people to vote. the leading candidate in both parties, you are leading the democrats by many points. it's hard to imagine, and most states have already approved it, as you know. very few states have done that. colorado and a couple others at this moment. that's immunity for the president. the president of the united states -- and are not talking about myself, any president, has have immunity. you take immunity from the president, so important, you will have a president that's not going to be able to do anything. because when he leaves office, the opposing party president, still indict the president for doing something that should have been good. like obama dropped missiles and the ended up hitting a kindergartner or a school, an apartment house. a lot of people were killed. if that's the case, he's going to end up being indicted when he leaves office. he meant well. the missile went in the wrong
6:23 pm
direction. and other things. look at biden. what happened to biden. he's killed our country with his policies. the border is a disaster. everything he does is a disaster. when he did in afghanistan is the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, giving an $85 billion of equipment, killing our soldiers, wounding horribly our soldiers, and leaving people behind. when he leaves office, if he doesn't have immunity, i think it's horrible what he did. he probably meant well. it's hard to believe that he meant well, but the man is incompetent. but you have to leave immunity with a president. if a president is afraid to act, because they are worried about being indicted when they leave office, a president of the united states has to have immunity, and the supreme court is going to be ruling on that. if they don't have immunity, no president is going to ask. you will have guys who just sit in office and are afraid to do anything.
6:24 pm
>> sean: by the way, it is ironic, it took you a long time, you are almost critical of me for pointing out pointing out joe's cognitive deficiencies. i think it's very transparent now for the world to see i was more right than i thought i was. we are looking forward to see you in new hampshire on tuesday. we really appreciate your time. thank you, mr. president, for being with us. we appreciate it. >> sean, one thing, it wasn't critical of you, i was critical of you joking about it. >> sean: that's true, in fairness. >> i didn't think you should be joking about it. that's okay. >> sean: i actually -- i took it to heart. i mean that. thank you, mr. president. >> i know that. thank you very much. thank you. >> sean: coming up, a date has been set. hunter biden will finally appear before the house to testify at his father's impeachment inquiry. meanwhile, hunter biden's sugar brother kevin morris was back on capitol hill today. he gave his own testimony. house oversight committee chairman james comer will join

6:31 pm
>> he befriended hunter biden. he felt an immediate affinity with him, as -- you know, a fellow irish catholic from pennsylvania-delaware part of the country, with several brothers, and they became really close friends. now it's about whether or not a friend can loan a friend a lot of money, which is a lot of money for normal people like us, but for him, it was not a lot of money. he testified it was less than 5% of his assets off the top of his head. and he makes those kinds of loans all the time, and he seems like a very generous and loving friend. >> sean: here with more's the house oversight committee chairman james comer. a lot of breaking news tonight. was the new subpoena issued, or did they just agreed to complied with the old one?
6:32 pm
>> issued a new subpoena because you want to make sure everything was done right. the old subpoena had an old d date, we make sure all the is were dotted at the ts rick ross. because we did this investigation right way, we got everything we wanted. we wanted him to answer questions and now he has to sit down and answer specific questions about transactions, meetings. he's going to have to answer to interviews that we conducted with some of his former associates, and we are going to see what level of involvement joe biden has in these biden family schemes. >> sean: let's talk about it. what you think the odds are that he's going to want to plead the fifth and his attorney, abbe lowell, will let him say a word? that's a possibility, correct? >> they been doing all these publicity stunts saying they wanted to get the truth out, they wanted to speak publicly, but you agree to come in for this deposition and have an opportunity to answer questions. hunter biden will have an opportunity to defend his good
6:33 pm
name. if he pleads the fifth and refuses to answer the questions, i think the american people can assume that this family has been around the world. we are going to give him due process, but at the end of the day this is a huge victory before the house oversight committee. this is exactly what we wanted and hunter biden learned, when you do things the right way, you don't get to make your own rules. we are treating him -- go ahead, shawn. >> sean: you are treating him like everybody else. i've got it. so it's going to be interesting, i don't know how you explain away a phone call just five days before his father goes to ukraine when he is in meeting with t burisma executives, and that's when joe biden later bragged about leveraging taxpayer dollars to get a prosecutor fired, because that
6:34 pm
was a big problem and they needed d.c. help. the prosecutor was fired, and hunter, who admitted he had no experience in energy, oil, gas, or ukraine, getting paid millions at a time where he's addicted to drugs on top of it. so that answer i would look forward to hearing. i'd like an answer on that. wouldn't you? >> he's going to be asked that question, a lot of questions about china and romania. what exactly did you do to receive the millions and millions of dollars? what was the purpose for that money? if they're going to continue to play the loan card, are you going to pay the money back? hunter biden doesn't have a job, he doesn't have any assets. he owes kevin morris at least $5 million if not more. we learn that today. according to what he told the bank, he owes china over $5 million. the loan total with hunter biden and jim biden now, as i
6:35 pm
calculate it, is $15 million. we don't think they'll pay any of this back. these are serious ethical issues and tax evasion issues that the bride ands are going to have to answer to. >> sean: i was listening to jamie raskin pray let's be honest, he's really just a political hack. the idea that, while this was just a small percentage of his net worth, $5 million, but wasn't it given at a very critical time leading into the 2020 election? this could have been a big campaign issue. if, in fact, hunter had not paid his taxes, wasn't that the original money used to pay back taxes? >> yes, it was, i think it's very important. we have an email today courtesy of the irs whistle-blowers, that showed kevin morris sent emails to the accounting firm saying we have a huge political problem here. it is during the presidential campaign in 2020, joe biden versus donald trump. we have a huge political problem
6:36 pm
here, and the political problem was that hunter biden hadn't paid his taxes, and the irs was fixing to cart him off. i would've been very damaging to joe biden's presidency. we believe that was a campaign finance violation we believe the purpose of that money was to save joe biden's political career. kevin morris just met hunter biden and five weeks later he's paying his irs tax bill? that's about the time from when kevin morris met hunter biden to the time when he paid the first installment to the irs for what hunter biden owed. that doesn't seem normal, and for jamie raskin to try to explain that's okay, i think it's a bit of a stretch even for jamie raskin. >> sean: i guess he was a fan of his art, because didn't he purchase some of the art? did you ever talk about the fact that hunter, as far as we know, doesn't have a job, any source of income?
6:37 pm
if you give that much money, my understanding is you're only allowed to give somebody i believe $15,000. after that, it is taxable. so if it is a loan, doesn't have to be on paper? is it a paper trail? is there interest payments that have to be made, as well? is there a repayment schedule? >> he said he had all that, but because he was also hunter's attorney, he couldn't disclose that. here's a guy saying he is his attorney and he's loaning them all this money, and in california i don't believe you are allowed as an attorney to loan your client money. lots of ethical questions here, lots of tax evasion questions. >> whoopsie-daisy. big breaking news, february 28th, hunter biden goes in. well done. james comer, house oversight committee. thank you, sir. we are only five days away from the new hampshire primary. new polls showing a very strong lead for donald trump. we will explain in checking with tomi lahren, mark penn, right

sabotage the republican primary. >> well, the nikki haley camp is going to say that you need to win independents to enact the general election, and she's not wrong. but when it comes to new hampshire, you're exactly right. i think there's a lot of sabotage going on. i think it's time to look toward the general election and understand that donald trump, unless something catastrophic happens, donald trump is going to be our nominee. so it's time to shift focus and start winning the hearts and minds, and donald trump has to do this, as well. yes to win the hearts and minds of the democrats and independents. i like the way he's been talking last couple of days. it feels like his very mission-focus. the healy campaign in the dissent's campaign, good form for getting out there and having a lot of energy, but at least in the case of ron desantis, it's time to start looking toward 2028 and start looking toward donald trump as our nominee. onward, upward. we cannot afford to lose in 2024. >> sean: mark penn, i know, as a democrat, you would never,

everything that some of these democrats switching to independent are doing it -- they're just doing it out of civic duty or really trying to influence the republican outcome of the primary? >> i think they are actually trying to influence the outcome. i just don't know if they are voting for nikki haley or donald trump. i don't know which way this is going to go. but it's a tradition, there's no contest on the democratic side. that's been scuttled to those voters have nowhere to go. but there are 23 states that have independent voters vote in the republican primary. that's why the most conservative candidate that wins iowa hasn't always won the republican nomination. so let's see what happens. maybe this is over. but i'm not so sure. >> sean: none of us can be sure. you don't know until the votes are counted. but if you start looking ahead, will go to nevada, south carolina, we will head into super tuesday.

just looking at the early polls in those states, mark, wouldn't you agree, trump has a pretty commanding lead at this point in almost all of them? what is your reaction? you are a pollster. would you anticipate those numbers shift that dramatically? >> trump has a very strong lead. he did very well in iowa. he's doing incredibly well in the national polls, mine included, in terms of what republicans want as a nominee. but as you know, this primary process can be upset. if new hampshire goes another way, there's a horse race. if it goes as expected and he wins by 15 or more points, probably it's over. >> sean: if he wins by three points and then can win south carolina, i think at that point it's going to be very difficult to challenge him. tomi, i always love asking you, will joe biden be on the ticket? >> as a republican, i hope so, but no. i'm going to hold onto that. i think it's going to be
