welcome to "hannity". tonight a major u.s. embassy hit with rockets. a shooting at a synagogue in new york and calls for a global islamic on american streets. by the way, that southern border, wide open, leaving our country totally vulnerable to terrorist. the president's mind is elsewhere. his big hollywood fundraiser is going on today. is 53-year-old son is in major trouble. the biden brand has never looked worse than now. don't expect to hear much from joe biden in the days and weeks ahead. over and over again joe biden has been angry, demanding that americans pay their fair share. he accused american families and businesses of being greedy and selfish. at the very same time while his own blood son was not paying any taxes on what amounts to millions of dollars in income. according to a federal indictment. this by the way wasn't just your normal everyday kind of income. according to a federal indictment hunter was raking in tons of money from ukraine and romania and china all while daddy and pop's was vice president. and gearing up for a presidential run. joe biden lied to your face over and over and over again. take a look. vice president biden there has been questions about the work your son has done in china and for ukrainian energy company when you were vice president. in retrospect was anything about those relationships inappropriate or unethical. >> nothing was unethical. my son has not made money in terms of this thing about what are you talking about, china? the only guy that made money from china is this guy. he's the only one. nobody else has made money from china. >> that was a live. now that biden's own doj has established that the president is a liar, i think the american people you deserve to know exactly why well-connected people in china, ukraine, romania, because extend. why were they paying hunter biden an admitted addict at the time, millions of dollars with no experience? we the american people deserve answers from this weaponize doj. why was prosecutor weiss prepared to put all of this under the rug? he wanted no charges despite what is a mountain of evidence that he just now revealed. if not for two brave irs whistleblowers telling the truth and one delaware judge asking questions, if not for rudy giuliani, his attorney bob costello and the new york post telling the truth about hunter's very real laptop. guess what? none of these charges would have been filed. why is that? why were weiss and garland doing joe biden such a favor? were they trying to influence an election? do they usually give a pass to tax cheats? the crimes listed in this indictment are egregious. biden is accused of willfully refusing to pay taxes in 2016, '17, '18, '19. he didn't even bother filing a tax return in 2017 and 2018. weiss let the statute of limitations run out on the unpaid taxes. those were the burisma years. how convenient. he also is accused of committing fraud by deducting a sex club membership and porn subscriptions as business expenses. are you kidding me? during this time hunter lived a quite extravagant lifestyle according to the indictment spending nearly $700,000 on various women. another $400,000 on clothing and accessories. $188,000 on adult entertainment, whatever that means. another $215,000 on restaurants and food. and get this. he took out more than $1.6 million in atm withdrawals. in other words, hunter was spending millions on, quote, "drugs, escorts, girlfriends, luxury hotels, rental properties, exotic cards, clothing, other items all while dodging taxes and child-support payments. but in a newly released podcast, hunter tells the world that he and his father are victims of vast right-wing conspiracy now back. according to hunter republicans are trying to kill him. take a listen. >> they are trying to destroy a presidency. so it's not about me. in there most basic way what they are trying to do is there trying to kill me knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle. and so therefore destroying a presidency in that way. >> pour hunter. how dare the republicans demanded equal justice under the law, equal application of our laws. the president shouldn't have to pay taxes or follow the law? i guess not if you are a biden until now. the bidens have been able to do pretty much whatever they want. the country just spent four hysteria filled the years on trump russia collusion. the witchhunt that never happened that went nowhere. all lies, all conspiracy theories. but hunter takes millions from the first lady of moscow. that's right, millions of dollars and no one bats an eyelash. nobody? it takes millions from members of the chinese communist party and the media mob, no questions from them. as vice president we know joe biden interacts with hunter's business partners on a regular basis. we learned that this week through phone calls, through e-mails, through golf outings and dinners and nobody sees a problem? according to john solomon there were at least six suspicious activity reports detailing a whopping $12 million in wire payments to joe biden's delaware home. nobody on the left, nobody in the media has anything to say? by the way, where is adam schiff or eric swalwell or liz cheney or fake news cnn or msdn c or "the new york times" or washington post? they accuse russian of being a russian plan for four long years. then they elect the guy who is accused of peddling the biden brand to every sketchy oligarch in the world including russian oligarchs. now clearly there is a political rot in our government. our media, our justice system today has now been exposed for all to see. here with the reaction we have house oversight committee chairman james comer along with the chairman of the ever so important house wanes so important house ways and means committee jason smith. chairman comer, let me start with you. let me get your general reaction to all of this. >> well, i am not surprised. this is one of many crimes that hunter biden has committed. we believe that if you are going to tax evasion, not only did he evade taxes on the obvious income that weiss charged him with, but also the loans. that is something that jason smith and the ways and means committee are looking into as well. we believe that if you look at the loans that jim biden and hunter biden had, there is over $13 million in loans and no trace of principle payments much less interest payments. at one point does a loan become income? we believe there is significantly more tax liability than what he has. we know there is money laundering. we get that from all the suspicious activity reports. most of the 170 suspicious activity reports from the treasury implied that the bidens were money laundering. what we can look at with the bank statements now and the research we have done i can confirm it share looks like money laundering to me. you also have the obvious violation of the foreign agents registration act. who was he lobbying for? he was lobbying for china, russia and some of the worst countries in the world. but also he was lobbying his father. that makes joe biden liable in foreign agents registration act liability. we've got a lot of concerns. this is the tip of the iceberg. i'm not surprised it happened before this week. this case is far from being over. >> how much money are we talking about, congressman? >> we know they have gotten over $24 million from our enemies around the world. now we are finding all these loans. jason smith just released parts of the transcript from the whistleblowers. you heard john solomon break the story that there is an additional $3 million that he may oh kevin morris. what are the terms of that? is he ever going to pay it back. if you have a loan for years and years and you don't pay any payments on it or have any intention of paying it back, that is income. if you take $13 million in loans and we have identified with the president's family that's another $4 million in federal income taxes that they would owe in addition to evading taxes. there are many problems here. but at the heart of this is joe biden. all of this revenue came because of joe biden. joe biden knew what his son was doing and knew what his brother was doing. he met with all the people even though he said he never met with them. he continues to lie about it. he did it this week. we fear this president is compromised. we know he has been dishonest with the american people and that is why we are pressing forward with the impeachment inquiry next week. >> let me ask you congressman smith. we learned a lot more this week in your committee where gary shapley and joe zigler testified before your committee. what did you learn this week that we didn't know before? >> first off, sean, we would not be where we are today if it's not for those two brave whistleblowers that came before the ways and means committee back in may. that led to all of the items that have been pointed out. in fact they highlighted all of the tax crimes that were charged yesterday that should have been charged years ago. they also highlighted how the justice department obstructed their investigation and ways that they have never seen before. and they highlighted numerous leads led to president joe biden, but they were halted and stopped in their tracks. search warrants with public figure one being president biden were removed. there was numerous examples that led to president biden. for example kevin morris that was mentioned by mr. comer, the gentleman who originally paid off $2 million of hunter biden's loans. they testified this week that it is in fact $4.9 million of loans and payment that kevin morris has delivered to hunter biden. what is really important is they delivered an important e-mail that kevin morris sent the tax preparer for hunter biden saying we have to pay these tax returns or we will be personally and politically liable. that was three weeks before super tuesday which ultimately decided joe biden as the nominee. the democratic nominee for president. >> let me ask you this. we have all the lies told. i will ask both of you the same question. we have the suspicious activity reports. we have all these shell companies you have identified. the sheer amount of money, tens of millions of dollars. no services that we can identify rendered. we have 10 family members that have gotten paid including grandkids. can you explain to me how much money we are talking about and how sophisticated this was, james comer? >> it's over $30 million now. we have no idea what they did to receive the money. where they lobbying those countries? if so, that's simple. that's a registration act violation. that's a penalty of up to five years imprisonment and $250,000 fine. we've got a lot of questions for hunter biden about specific transactions. $100,000 wire here, $5 million wire there. he told one bank examiners that it appears the five million-dollar wire was alone. it appears he told another bank examiner that it was a fee for lobbying. either way he is in trouble because either way he wasn't telling the truth from what we believe the real answers are. that is why we are bringing him in for a deposition. we have hundreds of specific questions that we will ask hunter biden. >> it's also about joe biden, isn't it? >> it's all about joe biden. this is an investigation of joe biden. joe biden knew about this. if he had been honest with the american people from day one, he may have gotten away with this. the fact that he said he never met with any of these people and never talk to any of these people, that hunter biden had a wall between his personal life and the government. all of this has proven to be false. now the fact that we found these pseudonym e-mails, tens of thousands, 82,000 pseudonym e-mails that joe biden use. many of them were sent to people he swore he never even talked to. the fact that they are covering this up, sean, it's not only the crimes they have committed what is the cover out. the government should be held accountable. every single person involved in the government. that's the goal of what jason smith and i are trying to do along with jim jordan burke. >> we will give you the last word, jason smith. where do you see this going in terms of joe biden? >> this entire investigation is about joe biden. i agree with what chairman comer just said. we are looking at from the ways and means committee, i want to see the tax-free terms. the tax returns that president biden has publicly released, there is no indication that he ever received any interest income. however, we know he has received more than $240,000 worth of lone repayments from his brother. those lone repayments should have interest income. if the president wasn't reporting interest income, that's a crime. his son just got charged with nine tax crimes yesterday. apparently it might run in the family. >> by the way, he would have to pay interest for it to be a real loan? >> absolutely. in order for it to be a reel known you'd have to pay interest. if you did not it has to be recognized in your taxes as a gift, which you also have to pay taxes on. >> chairman comer and chairman smith, thank you both. here is wisconsin senator ron johnson. let's get your overall reaction to everything and the implication as it relates to joe biden and not hunter. >> look sean, how are you doing? merry christmas. >> by the way, i like the stockings. did you put up a stocking for me yet? >> that issuers behind me here. listen, i think chairman comer, chairman smith and the other chairman have done a great job. senator grassley and i developed this before the election. now you have hunter biden out there doing podcasts whining about being persecuted. i said repeatedly i took no joy in uncovering the biden crime family corruption. senator grassley and i were trying to warn the american public before the election, before joe biden became president, before he was compromised. we try to warn the american public that this man and his family received millions of dollars from countries they were adversaries of ours. if he were elected he would be compromised and our national security would be compromised. that's why we did this. this is not a vendetta against poor hunter biden. by the way, $872,000 on women and adult entertainment. those women, and we reported on this, these women were probably traffic through an international sex trafficking ring. we are supposed to feel sorry for a man in his late 40s to early 50s who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on women who were sex trafficked? i am sorry. i have no sympathy for the man whatsoever. plus as john solomon reported we went back and checked our treasury records. there were six treasury records that listed joe biden's residence on those suspicious reports. i'm sorry. if you are a late 40s or early 50s young man running businesses, generally those businesses would have their own address and not using daddy's address. i do not feel sorry for hunter biden at all. >> let me ask you about this. i think this is very, very important. that is that here you are on the senate permanent subcommittee on investigations and you talk about the sars reports and chronicle $12 million in transactions over several years. talk about that for a minute. what did you find out? >> again, those are detailing out activities that are suspicious. senator grassley and i ended up using those reports and we have bank records. we turn those over to david weiss more than year ago. it does track so many transactions in the indictment. we've known about these things for years. on those reports it talks about money laundering. at talks about human trafficking. these are serious suspicions. if a normal american just had one of these reports, that ought to be concerning to the american public if they vote for somebody related to that individual. hunter biden had hundreds of these reports. this tells you and shows you the depth of the corruption of this family and how much activity there was. this is a vast web of foreign entanglements which compromise the president and compromised our national security. >> when you look at the sheer amount of money as i was asking them and look at all the lies joe told. look at the sars report and the shell companies. look at the tens of millions we are talking about here. look at the fact that we see no services rendered here. how can anyone come to any other conclusion except that this was access to the then vice president of the united states from some of our biggest geopolitical foes? is this a national security issue as well? >> it absolutely is. why did joe biden cancel the china initiatives when being president? that by the way is the program within the department of justice that was trying to investigate and uncover chinese left of intellectual property. why would you do that? other than if you are compromised. this has dramatic national security implications. how can people ignore it? you have a bunch of radical leftists in the mainstream media who exhort ignore it. there will never be enough evidence for the mainstream media to report this. so many americans are not aware. you have to listen to sean hannity to have all the details of this. >> do you believe this is about joe biden and charges of bribery and money laundering? >> it absolutely is. that is what senator grassley and i were doing. all during 2020 and during the election we were seeing this vast web of foreign entanglements. it was all about if joe biden became president he would be compromised. he is. he has lied bald-faced to the american public repeatedly. he never should have been elected president. he was elected because the mainstream media covered up for him and they continue to do so. >> senator, thank you and merry christmas. next time i'd like to see my stocking next to yours on the mantle if you don't mind. just saying. >> merry christmas. we will get your name on one. >> the media mob is doing what they do best. shamelessly defending joe biden after hunter was indicted last night on nine more federal charges. we've got the tape. john solomon and the judge straight ahead. later, (car engine revs) (engine accelerating) (texting clicks) (tires squeal) (glass shattering) (loose gravel clanking) reunification. i am kevin corke. now back to hannity. after hunter's bombshell indictment last night the media mob, fake news cnn wasted no time playing their favorite game which is defend joe biden while evidence of his corruption is so huge. anyway, take a look at their pathetic attempt to spin the indictment. take a look. >> as you were in trolling the topics i was thinking this is precisely what republicans are hoping, which is to conflate these two issues. as you absolutely correctly pointed out, this is about the son of a president, the son of the now president when this happened, president biden wasn't even an office at the time. hunter biden now facing nine new federal criminal charges as investigators say he avoided paying $1.4 million in taxes. instead spending the money on things like drugs, escorts, pornography and luxury hotels. >> hunter biden is not president joe biden and there is no allegation in the 56 page indictment that the president did anything wrong. he's not even mention. but that is not stopping house republicans from making hunter biden's business dealings a basis for their impeachment inquiry. >> the crime is the tax part of that. i don't see any link in the indictment or in comer's statement to joe biden. we will see. >> the last comment from their legal analyst is an outright live. comer statement said in part, quote, "in fact hunter biden corporate entities implicated by today's indictments fall to a foreign cash that landed in joe biden's bank account. here with reaction is the editor-in-chief and investigative reporter. let me praise you, john solomon very few have been right from day one. your reporting has been dead on
