sean: why would russia care about australia?ssia cares about australia because russia cares about everywhere. the fact of the matter is that russia is aware of what's going on in australia and certainly does not regard it as insignificant. sean: australia has also become a safe haven for rivers of dirty money flowing out of putin's corrupt regime. paul radu: australia is a great place to keep money. it's a democracy with a stable banking system, and criminals love democracies with stable banking systems. this is why australia is a great destination for illicit funds. sean: tonight, on "four corners," we investigate russian money and influence in australia. we track the tainted cash from russian criminals and liticians that has washed up on our shore. we reveal how one of putin's closest allies lobbied australia to help lift u.s. sanctions from his business interests and how a propaganda war is being waged right here to support the kremlin's global agenda. ♪♪♪ sean: the new south wales chapter of the night wolves is putting on a

sean hannity takes over right now. we will see you tomorrow night. >> sean: you know, without novak djokovic in the australian open, it is not even worth watching. honestly, i am not a boycott or, as you know, but it is ridiculous. welcome to this special edition of "hannity." after historically bad week capping off a historically bad year, joe biden's presidency is now on the ropes. things are going so poorly that even his one time protectors, the media mob, they are now beginning to take note. look at this headline from fake news cnn. you can't make it out. "is biden's presidency doomed?" meanwhile, when article titled "biden's epic failures" both here at home and abroad according to the article "it is rare for a president to be at odds with republicans, with moderate democrats, and liberal democrats hold the same time. but that is where biden find himself." in other words, nobody likes you, joe. port, joey. nobody thinks he is competent either, even msdnc, blasting biden for failure to change the tone in the country

sean?: so it will fail. >> it will fail. >> sean: thank you for being with us, chad come appreciate it. now joe biden absolutely humiliated himself and frankly the country today. it's sad. telling agenda failing. here's how former president trump reacted. he did an interview earlier on a great one, mark levin's radio show. take a listen. >> i imagine you saw most of this press conference -- >> oh, i did. i did. >> joe biden said he has had enormous progress during his presidency. i don't see it that way, do you? >> well, progress in destroying our country, yes, i think that has been tremendous. he also said something that i assume was a mistake. he said he expects putin to go in. he said "i expect him to go in," to go into ukraine. i thought that was a very unusual answer. i don't know if he knew what ite was saying because he said that as part of another question that he was a little confused. and the whole thing was just so horrible but you look at the border with billions of people comin

have a great night we are going to go to sean hannity. >> sean: i'll take the 11 seconds early but you're always welcome to your time. tonight an important message i had to the cowardly swamp creatures, all of you in washington, d.c., both the political swamp creatures that are elected and the media mob swamp creatures who don't seem to understand their role in the federal government or the media or why, in the case of politicians that were elected and hired in the first place, that important message coming up straight ahead. but more importantly our account that no one else pays attention to, we won't stop, continues. >> americans held hostage behind american lines. day 143. >> sean: speaking of swamp politicians, they have "turned the page" but really they have turned their backs on our fellow americans, thousands of green card holders, of course, are tens of thousands of afghan allies, and it is now day 143, no end insight, abandoned, trapped behind enemy lines in the islamic emirates of afghanistan. on this program, unlike them, we are not turning the page, we are not stopping our acc

sean hannity was right. in every one of sean hannity's texts that have been released by the committee, sean hannity is right. >>> and -- and officials in the justice department were threatening to quit if donald trump fired his acting attorney general and replaced him with jeffrey clark who has been subpoenaed to testify to the committee about jeffrey clark's only ideas about how to illegally overturn the results of the election. sean hannity says "i do not see january 6th happening the way that he is being told. we know at that time donald trump was being told the lie that vice president mike pence could reject electoral votes given to any state. sean hannity was telling donald trump go to f.l. we know that in donald trump psyche that was the same as telling him to go to hell. the hell of living in florida as a loser. on january 5th, the night before the trump mob violently attacked the capitol and screamed their hope of killing mike pence, sean hannity texted i am very worried about the next 48 hours. turn

and here's the great sean hannity. >> sean: thank you. welcome to "hannity." we are tracking multiple major stories including the ongoing border crisis. the biden administration, they are dispersing droves of illegal aliens all over that u.s. sara carter just spoke to a newly retired commander about the ongoing nightmare at the southern border. we will play this exclusive tape. obviously in shadow so that we can -- plus, we will detail the explosive allegations surrounding the biden family's very lucrative ties to the highest levels of chinese intelligence. peter fleischer will join us with more. let's put it this way. communist chinese party, pretty much owns the entire biden family syndicate and we will ask geraldo if joe biden is mentally fit to served as president and tonight, a little different from last night that we have the real videotape. and later, that biden and administration is now blocking the state of florida from accessing those lifesaving monoclonal antibodies. against the cult of vaccines and vaccine only and one-size-fits-all medicine strike

thank you, c sir. >> sean, sean, real quick. i'm going to need a lot of help. >> sean: they are targeting you. >> please, ronjohnsonforsenate.com. i need support because they are targeting me. they are out to destroy need. they are out to destroy this country and we can't let them win. ronjohnsonforsenate.com. please help me. >> sean: you are the number target, democrats are openly saying it that they are going after this election cycle. we'll be watching closely, senator. thank you for being with us. we turn our attention to the country of china for the winter all the picks are set to begin in less than a month, the malignant communist party is promising a green, safe, simple olympic games but as "the new york times" even put it "diplomatic boycotts increasingly the fast spreading omicron variant of the coronavirusea may make safety ad soliciting near impossible to achieve." get this. according to cnbc tonight, well, one major city is dealing with an undisclosed number of new high mortality disease transmitted by rodents. it's

it was not built. >> sean: nyc begging opec?p didn't beg opec. >> he's not begging opec, he convinced opec and opec is increasing their production in the month of january, why do you call it begging? >> sean: he dramatically shut down -- >> why are you complaining about that? your all over the map here. you don't like to pay high gas prices, i told you gas prices came down and biden convinced opec to increase production. >> sean: if you want to end inflation, professor of economics at the prestigious booth institute in chicago, if you want to cut inflation, one of the things you can do is increase the supply of energy which he artificially reduced by 40% because of energy policies. by the way, he cuts them even further, exploration in alaska again this very week. >> how do you respond or how do you react to the fact that energy production is now up dramatically in the united states? it is higher than in any year under then in donald trump, higher than in previous year? there are two years under donald trump for it is higher than

as a result, we're turning the program over to sean hannity six seconds early. >> sean: funny, i lived in roswell, georgia. a beautiful area, and i totally understand why they want to integrate, because, you know what? defund, dismantle, no bail, all the craziness, people need to be protecting themselves. and it's going to be interesting to watch that vote. tucker, thank you. >> tucker: thank you, good luck. >> sean: welcome to hannity and coming up, an exclusive tonight, paul manafort will join us for his very first interview since being pardoned by donald trump. that's moments away. first tonight, we begin with joe biden. breaking more records. more americans are hospitalized with covid-19 than ever before in this pandemic.ew we have illegal immigrants who are crossing our southern border at an unprecedented pace. fentanyl deaths in america are higher than ever.ur economic optimism is at an 18-month low. the backlog of cargo ships off the coast of california waiting o dock and unload, yes, that's also at anof all-time high and e price of oil is surging, nearly $85 a barrel with predi

you know what, sean? the biggest crisis joe biden was creating, there is no ppe to make our kids whole again. these kids are suffering and according to a poll, mental health, they cannot have fun, cannot nurture healthy relationships, they can focus on their education end. and melania trump and donald trump last may, i was there in the situation room with governors and staff, let's focus on the physical and mental well-being of these children. let's make sure that we are treating the whole student. they ignored that because it was trump's idea and even in "the new york times" they admit that we have locked down these kids in a way that their mental health is suffering. >> sean: all of that is true when i talk to medical doctors and interview them in they can from what you say. senator scott brown, no federal solution, but go to google. how about operation warp speed and produce as many tests as the country needs immediately? how about operation warp speed? how about operation warp speed for these new anti

we want to introduce you to our friend sean hannity who takes over >> sean: welcome to "hannity." we are tracking multiple stories, dr. fauci's pathetic meltdown on capitol hill today. senator ted cruz will join us with a more chilling story about the fbi on january 6th. earlier today, he brutalized an fbi spokesperson. we'll play you that tape. first, we begin with democratic activist stacey abrams, as you all know stacey abrams still believes that she is the rightful governor of georgia my she thinks she won in 2018 after losing, well, by nearly two points in georgia's gubernatorial race. she never conceded, claiming voter suppression, and now she's running for what she believes is her reelection and naturally the democrats' so-called voting rights legislation is one of her top issues. today, when joe biden kamala harris made a special trip to stacey abrams hometown to tout this new legislation, stacey abrams was nowhere to be found. apparently it was some kind of scheduling conflict. that's what we'll call it. take a look. >> are you insulted she's skipping the seat? >> i'm ins

and how about the pills, sean? some of the pills we suspected might have worked before covid hit our shoulders, approved by the fda, you can't find any. i wasrs calling the companies, u call in and everyone else is calling them. biden said he would defeat this virus, covid, but i think covid has defeated him. have meandering bureaucrats -- compare that to the warp speed initiatives that resulted in the vaccines that we have, which still remains the primary therapy that we are always offered. it is shameful with america's resources and our ingenuity and then after that that the biden administration is picking andoo choosing when to follow the science. i think it's a political agenda at this point in the stuff you mentioned about authorizing boosters for kidsnc 12-15, thers no panel involved that they are supposed to -- scientific advisors are supposed to assess for example -- myocarditis, which is what held us back the first time but i actually take it a step back, i think boosters of the wrongt challenge for americ

sean hannity was right. in every one of sean hannity's texts that have been released by the committee, sean hannity is right. including the first techs. the committee quoted today, written on new year's eve 2020 from sean hannity to donald trump's final white house chief of staff mark meadows. quote, we can't lose the entire white house counsel's office. i do not see january six happening the way he's said it is being told. after the six, he should announce he will lead the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. go to fl and watch joe messed up daily. stay engaged. when he speaks people listen. reporting by bob woodward and robert costa in their book, peril, and by others indicate that around the time of that text the white house counsel along with most of the top officials in the justice department were threatened to quit if donald trump fired his acting attorney general and replaced him with jeffrey clark. he has been subpoenaed to testify to the committee about jeffrey clark's own ideas about how t

here's what i think, sean. he is deeply unpopular, has been the most divisive president of my lifetime. now he's got a choice. is he going to nominate a pro-america pro-constitution justice or is he going to keep doing what he's been doing and divide this country with a hard woke left activist. we are about to find out that i hope republicans are ready to stand up to the constitution. >> sean: senator -- strata away, virginia's new leadership. they are standing up against liberal lunacy and predictably the left is having a meltdown. the brand-new virginia attorney general joins us with the latest. that is straight ahead. the pandemic made teaching and learning really hard. but instead of working to help students safely return to the classroom, the san francisco school board focused on renaming schools and playing politics. and they've even saddled our district with a $125 million deficit. our children can't wait for new leadership. here's our chance for a fresh start. on february 15th, please recall school boar

here is sean. >>sean: get rid of the wheat mandate thing.ge you cannot make this up. play it again and again. thank you, tucker. welcome to hannity, tonight we are nearing the end of what was one of the single worst days of the biden presidency so far. after 357 other terrible days, that is saying a lot. breaking this afternoon, 6-3 decision assi we predicted, the u.s. supreme court blocked the vaccine mandate on private businesses just three days after it went into effect. while the court did uphold an hhs requirement for hospital workers, of course that's medicare and medicaid federal money, the federal mandate on private businesses is no more. it is a massive win for freedom for private businesses, for a medical privacy and so much more. we will have a lot more coming up on it tonight. the bad day did not stop there. at 1:00 p.m., joe meandered wandered over to the capital in a desperate attempt to persuade his former colleagues in the senate to end the filibuster once and for all, something that he has been opposed to his entire career up until now. now he wants t

. >> sean: we should investigate the riots of summer of 2020.ope i did okay did okay. >> pretty good. >> sean: just pretty good? just checking. clay travis, you're taking all of this. >> this was i thought kamala harris emma as joe pointed out, 9/11 and pearl harbor, the dumbest single historical analogy uttered by a president or vice president in my lifetime. let's remember, kamala harris is a gaffe machine. they wrote that speech for her and she read it off a teleprompter! that means everybody sat around and they said, this january 6th, september 11th and pearl harbor analogy makes a ton of sense. remember the joe biden gettysburg address argument which is beyond absurd? if you have studied history very much at all, most people immediately panned the speech that abraham lincoln gave at gettysburg as not being very good or worthy of the moment. if i remember correctly, and whatever it was actually the keynote speaker there and went on for hours but lincoln's speech was roundly condemned. that's because history in the immediate aftermath of even

sean hannity awaits. >> sean: that feature was impressive. very impressive. tucker, thank you. welcome to "hannity." tonight an important milestone. 6 months ago your president joe biden stated that under his brave leadership the united states would gain the upper hand against covid-19 and we would declare independence from the virus. now we are in the throes of biden's second dark winter of death and disease. fully masked and vaccinated people and people with boosters and even with immunity are all getting sick. people with all of these varying conditions are getting sick. even the "view" whoopi goldberg who is a friend of mine, she has covid-19 and she did everything they told her to do. take a look. >> it was like wait, what? it was a shock. i am triple vaxxed. i have not been anywhere. that's the thing about omicron. you don't know where it is. it's one of those things, you think i have done everything i am supposed to do. it doesn't stop omicron. that's the problem with a variant. it gets stronger and does different stuff to you. unless everybody gets vaccinated this is wh

. >> sean: unbelievable. i know you work closely with mike pompeo. unfortunately i know that the many private groups that have been willing to charter very expensive airplanes to evacuate americans with very little to no help with obstruction from our own state department. seems like now there is no way out and nobody seems to care. what does that mean for the people left behind, thousands of green card holders, americans in the hundreds, afghan allies, what does it mean for all of them? >> there is no coordinated u.s. effort to get americans edited in green card holders outcome up not that i'm aware of. i'd be happy to be proven wrong for this administration a show in the way they are actually trying to get americans, green card holders, family members out. my twitter dms always open for people out there looking for ways. there are some private-sector ways and i'm happy to help people. but isn't it crazy and a little unfortunate that former administration officials and people come up a career military are us

anyway. >> sean: i used to joke about it but it's not funny. more question, does anyone think putin would be amassing 100,000 plus troops on the border with ukraine, threatening war if donald trump were still in office? i doubt that would be happening, nor do i think he would've gotten a waiver on the pipeline. then again the trump family never made millions of dollars with russian oligarchs the way the biden family did. south carolina senator lindsey graham met with the former president, he joins us now with more. i see that ad and i'll be honest i think the observation of your colleague's not too far off and that is maybe we should keep them away from cameras and microphones because it's really bad. >> a news conference was a disaster on multiple levels but it's not the news conference, he's been on the world stage for 40 years. he was in charge of the ukraine portfolio under the obama administration. everybody in the ukraine understands joe biden didn't realize his own son was serving on the board of the most corrupt gas company in the world

v >> sean: what is your take?it's ironic herself stated idol of kamala harris has the same knee-jerk reaction to any type of criticism and here mosby has to be federally indicted and all of these charges. him she claims it is racial animus, she is facing 30 years in prison and a million dollars and i don't think it's becausehi of racial animus. kamala harris 72017 she wanted to do so, so she would get convictions and have convictions, i think it's now clear that she will be the one who will be convicted. >> sean: pam bondi as always thank you.ed more "hannity" after this. lives of six million jews and thousands of jewish survivors are still suffering in poverty today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. "comfort ye, comfort my people." when i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. these elderly jews are weak and they're sick. they're living on $2 a day which is impossible. this now, is how god's children are living. take this time to send a survival food b

so what did sean hannity know? committee also writes, quote, it also appears from other text messages that you may have had a conversation directly with president trump on the evening of january 5th and perhaps at other times regarding his planning for january six. sean hannity even talk to donald trump about a january six plan the night before it happened. what did they discuss? there was this other part of the leather that also just make my head turn. it appears that sean hannity may also be talking to members of trump's cabinet about possibly removing him from office. quoting the letter again. later on january six, you texted to meadows press coverage relating to a potential effort by members of president trump's cabinet to remove him from office under the 25th amendment. as you may recall, secretaries devos and child both reside following the presidents conduct on january six, ousted members of the presidents white house staff. we would like to question you regarding any conversation to had with mr. meadows or

sean hannity urged. >> after she read the truly explosive texts, sean hannity sat in silence, ignoring what happened and had mark meadows on the show and asked him nothing about it. nothing to see here, just two bros broing it up. following day, issued this rebuttal. >> where is the outrage in the media over my private text messages being released again publicly? do we believe in privacy in this country? apparently not. i'm an honest, straightforward person, say the same thing in private that i say to all of you. liz cheney knows this, doesn't care, interested in one thing only, smearing trump and purging him from the party. >> i'm an honest straightforward person i say same thing in public as i say to you. clearly you didn't, that's the whole point. that's all he had to say. tonight more texts. as i said top of the show, come in form of a letter, sent to sean hannity from the january 6 committee asking him to cooperate in their investigation. read you big chunks because the contents are really something. quote, the select committee has information in its possession indicating you had

and this is sean hannity to former-chief of staff mark meadows. we can't lose the entire white house counsel's office. i do not see january 6th happening the way he is being told -- he, being trump. after the 6th, he should announce he will lead a nationwide effort to reform voting integrity, go to florida, and watch joe -- that would be president biden -- mess up daily, stay engaged. when he speaks, people will listen. then, on january 5th -- so this is the night before the riot -- uh, text to sean hannity to an unknown recipient. quote, i'm very worried about the next 48 hours. and another one that same night to mark meadows. pence pressure white house counsel will leave. it appears that hannity may be talking to the white house counsel, anderson. but in any case, he understands and he is saying to meadows that the pressure we know that trump was putting on mike pence not to do the right thing on january 6th -- this is evidence that the white house counsels were threatening to quit. >> and just want to play, jamie, what hannity was saying on his

sean? >> violence is running rampant in democratic run cities but even the most liberal are ready for new leadership. >> [inaudible] >> the new message on crime from new york's new mayor and how it impacts you in your neighborhood. >> nicole? >> the left attack on republicans ramp up, from florida governor desantis being called out as missing while he was at cancer treatment with his wife. to the media launching a hit job on texas senator cruz's 13-year-old daughter. >> tyrus? >> drama on the gridiron. there's a tantrum mid field and then getting booted from the bus. >>> but first, dr. fauci now saying that americans could be forced to test negative before exiting the newly shortened five-day covid quarantine. but the cdc director said something completely different. just days ago when she was asked about requiring testing. >> yeah, really important question. i'm glad you raised this. so what we do know is that the pcr test after infection can be positive for up to 12 weeks. so that is not

they have the receipts from sean hannity.m he felt behind the scenes, he's remained loyal in the lead up to the insurrection. talk to me about the relationship and can they keep this pearl clutching about oh, my gosh, the liberal media whatever, when they are, as you say, they exposed as complete actors? >> reminds me of what i heard several times, which is -- what sources would say is hannity thinks trump is crazy. i remember a very vivid comment about sean, r why are you vaping so much? if you were hearing what i was hearing from trump, you'd be vaping too. that's the conversation you'd hear trump hannity confidantes. and i think trump and hannity need each other. this is a mutually beneficial relationship and that has not ended. trump needs -- >> trump and fox need each other. >> they do. you should not -- no matter what you think about democrats, you shouldn't have television hosts spending all their free time advising the president. they know it and knew it during the presidency. think of all the long-term damage caused

they've asked sean hannity to cooperate in the investigation.nt mike pence, what information they're seeking,whhead.co en he was 17. with ancestry, being able to put the pieces of the puzzle together... ...it's amazing. it's honestly amazing. we hit the bike trails every weekend shinges doesn't care. i grow all my own vegetables shingles doesn't care. we've still got the best moves you've ever seen good for you, but shingles doesn't care. because 1 in 3 people will get shingles, you need protection. but, no matter how healthy you feel, your immune system declines as you age increasing your risk for getting shingles. so, what can protect you? shingrix protects. you can protect yourself from shingles with a vaccine proven to be over 90% effective. shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also

unfortunately, for sean hannity and the country, sean hannity was sending a text to the weakest and most criminally inclined of the trump white house chiefs of staff. mark meadows had already engaged in a phone call with donald trump to georgia's secretary of state, a call that was clearly criminal in nature, a violation of state and federal law on election interference. the whole country had already heard the audiotape of that criminal phone call. sean hannity heard the audiotape of that phone call, which is now being investigated by a grand jury in georgia. he heard the audiotape of that phone call to georgia secretary of state and that may be why sean hannity's text to mark meadows are filled with fear that donald trump does not know what he is doing and that mark meadows does not know what he is doing. we know now, thanks to bob woodward and the book "peril" and other reporting, that they already knew that the white house counsel was threatening to quit over donald trump's criminal attempts to change the outcome of the presidential election. on this night, exactly one year ago, sean

sean: mm-hmm. bill: ok. if i'm with you, can you follow me? sean: yeah. bill: now this has to be an absolute yes. sean: yes. bill: ok. ok, what you want to do is lean into the mountain, the snow side, right. sean: mm-hmm. bill: do you understand? and you put your foot in the foot steps that are there, already made. and you just look at the footsteps only. and you look this way. ok? sean: mm-hmm. bill: sometimes you have to take a big step. i want you behind me. are you behind me? sean: no. bill: keep going, keep going. good job, good job, good job. good, good, good, good, good. good, good, good. [inaudible talking] bill: i got to hold your hand, didn't i? all right. let's go set up camp. >> come get your sleeping bag. sean: when you first arrived at that snow, how did you fe? nicholas: i thought i was finna die. sean: you was, like, scared? nicholas: i was scared. sean: i had to go step-by-step. it took me at least, like, 20 seconds to do each step. when i got there, i was relieved. i was like, it's over. i'm straight now. [sigh] [music playing] >> i'll g

what will the committee do if sean hannity does not comply? and representative raskin said, well, we have a panoply of options. i know he can't commit at this point. but he doesn't really have a panoply. he has two options. one, if hannity defies this request is let him go. that's it. two is subpoena him. there's really no complexity about it. so the committee's going to have to decide, are they going to serve these informal requests and follow them up with subpoenas, or if empeople say, , thank you, then go on your way. >> hannity's attorney jay sekulow telling cnn they are reviewing the letter and will respond as appropriate. do you expect hannity is going to try to use the first amendment as a defense even though hannity, himself, said he is not a journalist. and you heard jamie raskin saying we're not asking for notes or who his sources are. we're asking as if -- you saw the analogy. he said, you know, if you witness a car crash, right? that's what he wants to know. you're still a witness. >> yeah. i think sean hannity and his attorney wil

often times with sean hannity. you were on his show. what is your read on him having such a close relationship with the white house with the administration to be saying things like this? i mean, pretty much behind trump's back saying one thing in text messages behind trump's back and another thing on television. are you surprised by this? talk to us. >> at this point i am not surprised. i mean, it is obviously a very different place than when i left there five years ago. so i don't think these kinds of things would have been so accepted. i don't even think anybody over there seems to even care about this. the language that he was using even in these text messages, the we, right, like they're all part of the same thing. there isn't even pretending that there is any kind of distance between them. now, hannity has said before he doesn't consider himself a journalist. he is a talk show host. so i don't know how he is now playing a journalist invoking the first amendment even though they're not going after sources and methods here. that is n

this is from sean hannity. to mr.some documents before being held in criminal contempt of congress. quote, we can't lose the entire white house counsel's office. i do not see january 6th happening the way he is being told. after the 6th, he should announce he will leave the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity, go to florida and watch joe mess up. stay engaged and when you speaks, people will listen. you've read the letter. your thoughts? >> it is absolutely stunning, nicole. the document displays a number of things, including -- i mean, yes, it is a -- it's a bombshell. i'm sure we've said that a lot of times, but it is literally a bombshell. the committee knows everything that went on in these relationships, and they have sent a clear signal to sean hannity that they have all of his emails and communications with the white house chief of staff, probably because the white house chief of staff turned them over to the committee when he was still cooperating. so, they now know that hannity was having firsthand c

they have the receipts from sean hannity. whatever sean hannity felt, he remains loyal to trump.about their relationship and can they keep this sort of pearl-clutching about oh my gosh, the liberal media when they are as you say whoever said that to you, they are exposed as complete actors. it reminds me as what i heard several times. it was -- he knows and the sources would say hannity thinks trump is crazy. he thinks trump is crazy. i remember a vivid comment about someone saying sean, why are you vaping so much? if you wear what i heard from trump, you would be vaping too. sean was in about it and he knew the truth about trump but he could not or did not ever say it. these text messages bring it into sharp relief. trump and hannity needed each other. this is a beneficial relationship. that relationship has not ended. >> fox news presidency was such a cancer. no matter what you think of democrats are up against, you should not have television host spending all their free time advising the president. it's not the way the world is supposed to work. everybody knew it. think about

>> yes, sean, you're exactly right. what happened in virginia was parents deciding to rise up and say listen, parents matter and that is exactly what the governor ran on and exactly wha a lot of what i ran on her righ in virginia what's out unique i when terry mcauliffe said parents don't have a say and th education of their children, this guy used to be governor of virginia, that's in our virgini constitution it says parents have a fundamental right to be involved in the education of your children and you have the right to education in virginia. if i'm a parent and i'm drop my child off at school, when i dropped that child off they are going to be safe, what we saw was a school board that went wouk and they like to say once you go wouk you go broke, they decided in my opinion it to pla politics with our children safety and they passed a policy and obviously as you noted ther was a tragic assault that happened, the victim was only 1 years old and they just transferred the perpetrator to another school and what's even tr

sean carried his children to safety. blinds over there so they couldn't see the flames. the family were safe, but they couldn't save their home. so, this is the remainder. yeah, absolutely horrendous. unbelievable. it's notjust the case of setting someone's car, caravan on fire. it lives with you forever and it changes you as a person. the police investigated but no—one has been charged. sean thinks more should be done to tackle anti—social behaviour before it turns into more serious crime. it has highlighted to me the problem with anti—social behaviour, how it became so much of a problem and how out of hand it's been allowed to become. because that low level crime, when not dealt with and nipped in the bud early, escalates and turns into your house being burnt down. durham police say their sympathies are with the ivey family, and that anyone with any information should report it to them, the local authority, or crimestoppers. across the uk, police forces and local councils are using a broad range of powers to crack down

sean hannity knew that mark meadows knew that but at this hour, one year ago, sean hannity was desperately trying to get the weakest white house chief of staff in history to step up to a deranged presidents and do the right thing, say the right thing. it was on this day, when you're ago, that mike pence told donald trump in the oval office that he was not going to violate the law and attempt to reject electoral votes submitted to congress the next day. in that meeting, on this evening, one year ago, in the white house, donald trump told mike pence -- what do you think, mike? trump asked. look, i've read this, and i don't see a way to do it. i've done everything i could and then some to find a way around this. it's not possible. my interpretation is, no. i've met with all of these, people pence said. they are all on the same page. i personally believe these are the limits to what i can do. so, if you have a strategy for the sixth, it really shouldn't involve me because i am just there to open the envelopes. you should be talking to the house and senate. your team should be talking to them a

by the way that tape was 7 years ago. >> jesse: you still look good, sean. >> sean: i'm a lot bettern. >> jesse: seriously though. >> "watters' world." >> jesse: leo, hold on. people say what do i do firearm. crime is out of control. what do you do in a situation, sean, where you might have to defend yourself if you don't have a weapon? >> sean: listen, i have been training now for nine years. that's seven years ago. and chuck is one of the greatest all-time mixed martial artists in the history of the sport. for most people, they don't have any basis point chong they can start. i don't even want to really give advice except to say you really do need to take some level of self-defense classes. for example, if you're a woman and you get attacked and maybe have a young child, what are you going to do? probably one of the first things i would do is teach somebody, you know, to do an ear box, you know, slap it together and they stop. the second thing an eye poke. the third thing if you can get -- if they're grabbing you, you put your fingers in their eyes and gouge them and i mean gouge t

keep in mind this is not a subpoena for sean hannity.e asking him to come forward voluntarily. hannity has not said how he plans to respond. john? >> let's discuss now. with me to share their report and insights are cnn legal analyst, jeff zeleny. does sean hannity have any shield here to not cooperate with the committee? >> here's the deal, john. ultimately he won't. he was not engaged in news gathering. he was acting as an advisor. the problem is i think it will be a lot like we've seen with these bogus claims of executive privilege. he'll go to court over this or he may go to court over this asserting that first amendment privilege, so without being able to just push forward on him without any privileges at all, it may take them a while to get through that litigation and actually sit down and speak with him. >> if you're a fox news viewer or a hannity viewer, you have to deal with the hypocrisy. what he was saying to mark meadows and to trump versus what he was saying on television, using his program to stick with the big lie. that wa

sean hannity is a propagandist. there's something so striking in the gap between what he says privately and publicly, and just the journalistic failure of having that kind of scoop, of understanding that the president of the united states is preparing to do something illegal to subvert the election and not telling your audience about it, you know, it's such a sort of betrayal of his role, even if it's a role that we all believe he doesn't take very seriously. >> that's such an incisive point you make, and it dove tails with, again, it's one of these nights we're getting a lot of news, i'm just told in my ear the producers that donald trump was planning this big news conference at mar-a-lago on january 6th trying to seize attention or time or whatever. the news breaking just now as we're on the air that he is canceling that. an ex-president and politician who has sought many ways to seek attention from his blogs to his press appearances backing down, apparently, or canceling that. that's brand new. before we go, i do

is this about getting sean hannity to talk to them?about drumming up support for the ultimate, you know, report that we'll get from this committee's investigation, or is this about trying to reach sean hannity's audience, maybe even try to change some minds? >> i think they have every right to invite sean hannity in to testify about what happened. he was acting as an advisor to the president, not as a journalist, which i don't cthin he is, so they have every right to hear from him. i think what was revealing in that text is it was clear that the former president didn't think he lost the election and he was trying to dissuade him. what's even more disturbing, many people like hannity, have spent moments since january 6 whitewashing that day and undermining the significance of it. so i think they want to bring hannity in to figure out what the state of mind of the president was. there was talk about invoking the amendment at that time. i felt for some time the former president was not well and that they should have dealt with it. but i t
