Actions. Mr president , enough is enough. Innocent americans are dying and you only have yourself to blame. Fulfil your oath of office, reverse your policies. And to this crisis and stop the suffering. Sadly we know that President Bidens failures dont start there. His Reckless Spending Dog our economy into the whole and scent the cost of living through the roof. We have the worst inflation in 40 years and the highest Credit Card Debt in our nations history. Let that sink in. Hardworking families are struggling to make Ends Meet Today and with soaring Mortgage Rates and sky high childcare costs, they are also struggling to have a plan for tomorrow. The American People are scraping by while President Biden proudly proclaims that it is working. Bless his heart. We know better. I will never forget stopping on It Gas Station one evening. The gentleman working the counter told me that after retiring, he had to pick up a job in his seventies so he didnt have to choose between going hungry or going without his medication. He said i did everything right, i did everything i was told to do. I worked hard, i saved, i was responsible. Hes not alone. I hear similar concerns from fellow parents whether i am walking with my friends or whether im at my kids games. But lets be honest, its been a minute since joe biden pumped gas, rentacar pool or even pushed a grocery cart. Meanwhile, the rest of us see our dollar and we know it doesnt go as far. We see it every day. Despite what he tells you, our communities are not safer. For years, the left has coddled, coddled criminals and defunded the police all while letting Repeat Offenders walk free. The result is tragic but foreseeable. From our small towns to americas most iconic city streets, life is getting more and more dangerous. Unfortunately, President Bidens weakness isnt just hurting families here at home. Is making us a punchline on the world stage. Where im from, your word is your bond. For three years, the president has not demonstrated that americas word doesnt mean what it used to. From abandoning our allies in his disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan, to desperately pushing another dangerous deal with iran. President biden has failed. Weve become a nation in retreat the enemies of freedom, they see an opportunity. Putins brutal aggression in europe has put our allies on the brink. Irans Terrorist Proxies have slaughtered israeli, jews and american citizens. Theyve targeted commercial shipping and they have attacked our troops nearly 200 times since october, killing three u. S. Soldiers and two navy seals. Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist party is undercutting americas workers. China is buying up our farmland, spying on our Military Installations and spreading propaganda through the likes of tiktok. You can see, the ccp knows that if it conquers the minds of our next generation, it conquers america. And what does President Biden do . He bans tiktok for Government Employees but creates an account for his own campaign. You cant make this stuff up. Look, we all recall when president s phased National Security threats with strength and resolve. That seems like ancient history. Right now, our Commander In Chief is not in command. The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader. America deserves leaders who recognize that secure borders, stable prices, safe streets and a strong defence are actually the cornerstones of a great nation. Just ask yourself, are you better off now than you were three years ago . There is no doubt we are at a crossroads and it doesnt have to be this way. We all feel it. But heres the good news. We the people are still in the driver seat. We get to decide whether our future will grow brighter or whether we will settle for america in decline. I know which choice our children deserve and i know the choice the Republican Party is fighting for. We are the party of hardworking parents and families. We want to give you and your children the opportunities to thrive. We want families to grow. Its why we strongly support continued nationwide access to in vitro fertilization. We want to help loving moms and dads bring precious life into this world. Wesley and i believe there is no greater blessing then life in life than our children. Thats why tonight i want to make a direct appeal to the parents out there. And in particular, to my fellow moms many of whom i know well be up, tossing and turning at 2 00 am wondering how youre going to be in three places at once and than somehow still get dinner on the table. First of all, we see you. We hear you. And we stand with you. I know you are frustrated. I know youre probably disgusted by most of what you see going on In Washington and i will be really honest with you, you are not wrong for feeling that way. I get it. The task in front of us isnt an easy one but i can promise you one thing. It is worth it. So i am asking you for the sake of your kids and your grandkids. Get into the arena. Every generation has been called to do hard things. American greatness rests in the fact that we always answer that call. Its who we are. Never forget, we are steeped in the blood of patriots who overthrew the most powerful empire in the world. We walk in the footsteps of pioneers who tamed a tamed the wild p. Are we now Carry Forward the same flame of freedom as the liberators of an oppressed europe. We continue to draw courage from those who bend the moral arc of the universe. When we gaze upon the heavens, never forget that our dna contains the same ingenuity that put man on the moon. America has been tested before and every single time we have emerged unbowed an unbroken. Our history has been written with the grit of men and women who got knocked down pete we know their stories because they did not stay down. We are here because they stood back up. So now its our turn. Our moment to stand up and prove ourselves worthy of protecting the American Dream. Together, we can reawaken the heroic spirit of great nation. Because america, we dont just have a rendezvous with destiny. We take destinys hand and we lead it. Our future starts around the Kitchen Tables just like this. With moms and dads just like you and you are why i believe with every fiver of my being that despite the current state of our union, our best days are still ahead. May god bless you and may god continue to bless these United States of america. Katie britt giving the rebuttal which is always a difficult job for all of the loud shouting and yelling that we got from joe biden who is on the other side of the political age group, this was soft, it was strong. She started by saying that joe biden has been in office longer than shes been alive. Then she said he doesnt get it. She went one item after another talking about trafficking, talking about fentanyl, all these issues. She worries about the family around the table. The American Dream has turned into a nightmare for other families talking about the order. If youre not from the south, its not a great thing. But she delivered in a speech thats tough to give and i think that republicans are going to say its hit all the notes. She connected with younger women and groups that. We want to think all of you for watching with us tonight. There will be a lot to digest from tonight. A lot of different angles. Keep it here on fox. Good night from washington. Hannity is next. [ ] welcome to hannity. We start tonight with an alert. President joe biden laid out his radical wish list for america. His speech was so hyped up it was bizarre. I will not be shouting the whole hour. Frankly so at odds with every day joe is even frightening to me. He spent most of the night shouting, speeding through his speech and clearly overcompensating from the normal every day joe that can barely string two sentences together. At times it became uncomfortable watching him screaming and yelling and speeding through that speech. The ap affectionately called it. Thats one way to describe it. Tonight america saw lets say a very different joe biden. I call him jacked up joe. Thats being charitable. He sounded like hyper caffeinated angry old man. A lot more on that coming up and in spite of what joe biden claimed tonight, sadly the state of our union is not strong and sadly politics was the clear agenda of the president and facts and truth, that took a backseat to that radical agenda. This was a political speech. Throughout the hour we will fact checked the many falsehoods that the president declared tonight. Bidens address was literally filled with jacked up Joe Screaming Lie after lie we begin to unpack the propaganda, the misinformation. It will likely be ignored by much of the media mob. Lets start with the lies on the economy. The economy is on the brink. Now our economy is the envy of the world. 15 million new jobs in just three years, a record. Wages keep going up, inflation keeps coming down. Inflation has dropped from 9 percent to 3 percent, the lowest in the world and trending lower. [ applause ] the landing is and will be soft. Here is the, here the facts. As biden took office, prices have risen over 70 percent. Real hourly wages have only risen 13 percent. 60 percent of our fellow americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Costs across the board are eating up more of the American Peoples paychecks than they have in over 30 years. According to a recent study, americans now need to make 11,400 more to afford the same quality of life that they did in 2021. Claims about job creation, another lie. In reality almost 10 million of those jobs are just backfield jobs or temporary jobs that were lost during the pandemic. As we know now, many of those other jobs were parttime jobs going to many foreignborn workers that he let into this country unvented illegally. Dont forget about the Supply Chain Crisis which as devastated our economy for months on end. Seriously, they are blaming bidens economic failures on greedy corporations and shrink elation eric take a look. To many corporations raise prices to pad the prophets. Charging more and more for less and less. Thats why we are cracking down on corporations engaged in Price Gouging on deceptive pricing. The Snack Companies thank you wont notice if they change the size of the bag and put a hell of a lot fewer. Same size bag, put fewer chips and it. Im not joking. Its called shrink inflation. Americans are feeling the burden day in and day out. Its not because there are a few less chips and bags that you might buy, its because of joe bidens failed policies. This was only the tip of the iceberg in terms of bidens lies tonight. He went back to his new favourite attack, blaming republicans for the border crisis. He himself created it. Take a look. November, my team began serious negotiations with a Bipartisan Group of senators. The result was a bipartisan bill with the toughest set of Border Security reforms that weve ever seen. You dont think so . All you dont like that bill . This bill save lives. It will also give me an any new president new Emergency Authority to temporarily shut down the border when the number of migrants at the border is overwhelming. Border patrol unions under endorses bell, the federal chamber of commerce. Look at the facts. [ cheering and applause ] i know you know how to read. I believe that given the opportunity for a majority in the house and senate would endorse the bill as well. I majority right now. Unfortunately, politics has derailed this bill so far. Wrong again. Since day one, joe biden worked to undo every trump era policy that he inherited and he did inherit the most secure border in history. They even bragged about resending all the trump policies that actually worked. Take a look. We have rescinded so many trump Immigration Policies it would take so much time to list them. We rescinded the remaining mexico policy. We rescinded of course the public charge roll that deprived vulnerable migrants from accessing certain critical life benefits. We have restored the deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals program. We have rescinded so many and have restored so many that he really dismantled. With the stroke of a pen, joe biden ended trumps efforts to explode Illegal Immigrants from the census. He cancelled trumps interior enforcement role, stopped construction of the border wall, he extended Deportation Protections for liberians. He suspended asylum deals with guatemala, honduras, el salvador. He ended the remaining mexico policy and let title 42 expired. For three long years it was joe biden, his Vice President ,s department of Homeland Security secretary, all of their spokespeople telling you the American People lie after lie. Telling you the border was secure and telling you the border was closed which your eyes show you very different leap. That was not the truth and it still is inspect take a look. It sounds to most folks like a crisis. Its way down now. With guncontrol. The border is closed. And continued to be. The borders closed. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border period. The border we are working to make the border more secure. You are this border is secure . We have a secure border and that that is a priority for any nation including ours and our administration. We agree that the border is secure. Because of that we now have nearly 10 million unvented, illegal joe biden immigrants roaming free around the country. Many from our top geopolitical flows including russia china, iran, syria, egypt, afghanistan. Biden does not need congress to reimplement all of these actions and secure the border. Anyone in the administration that says that, like the president screamed tonight, that is flat out lie thats almost as big a lie is telling us that the border was secure for three years. This is a joke. It is sad and it has severe consequences. Joe biden has created what is an unmitigated National Security crisis. In the words of some former top officials, this is literally an invasion of military age men. He has failed to stand up to our biggest adversaries on every front. There has been no meaningful response to iran or chinese chinas aggression. Our adversaries are watching and they are frankly laughing at the pathetic leadership that is Joe Biden Eric now in a rather bizarre moment, i was putting much the whole speech, he also attacked the u. S. Supreme court and Supreme Court justices right there to their face. Take a look. State laws banning the freedom to choose. Criminalizing doctors peer forcing survivors of rape and incest to leave their states to get the treatment they need. Many of you in this chamber. My god, what freedom would you else take away . The decision to overturn it. With all due respect justices, women are not without electoral power. Electoral or political power. You are about to realize just how much. [ cheering and applause ] it is another flat out lie. Joe biden tried to play unifier and touted his bipartisan work. Joe is failing massively on that front. Hes feeling on pretty much every issue. Just when he 6 percent believe he has successfully unified our country. He has not. He cant even unite his own party let alone the country, losing Tens Of Thousands of votes to uncommitted the uncommitted option in the democratic primaries on tuesday night. Tonight prior to his speech, protesters gathered to blast his stance on the war in israel. Then theres the poles. A recent poll has his approval i just a mere 38 percent, well below the typical 50 percent threshold that incumbent president s need to win reelection. The recent abc poll found a staggering 86 percent of you, the American People, think that he is tool to run again. On just about every single issue, he is deep underwater. He is feeling on every single front and americans are not buying his lies whether he whispers or shouts them. Make no mistake, when joe biden said tonight the state of our union under his failed leadership is anything but strong. Here with reactions, ted cruz, i promise not to yell at you during this interview. Lets get your reaction to the style everybody knew that joe had a very big challenge coming into tonight because, will show tapes throughout the night of his cognitive decline. Clearly jacked up joe perhaps overcompensated and i think thats being charitable. What was your reaction to that . I think tonight was astonishing. I never seen anything like it. It was a Campaign Speech but it wasnt an exceptionally bad cab Campaign Speech. He was angry, he was better, he was screaming as he noted the entire night. He was radical and extreme and he was completely out of touch with the American People. Frankly tonight, joe pino me of an angry old man standing on his Porch Screaming to the kids get off my lawn thats who he was. Ive never seen ive been to 12 addresses. Ive never seen anything remotely like this. This was entirely focused on the november election. Whats remarkable is a joe biden and the white house, they apparently made the decision aid they want no republican votes because this told every republican go jump in the lake,
