FOXNEWSW Hannity July 4, 2024

We begin tonight with a fox news alert. Donald trump could clinch the republican nomination at any moment. With polls now closed in georgia, mississippi, and fox news tonight can project that donald trump will win both primaries. And now all eyes are on washington state. And with another resounding win. Well, 45th President could officially seal the deal tonight, setting up a 2024 rematch against joe biden. Earlier tonight, biden officially got the delegates that he needed tom and anxietym democratic voters. Coming up, my monologue is straight ahead tonight. But first, here to break down the very latest numbers. Our own kevin corke is with us. Kevin. Call it a two for tuesday in politics, sean. Youre right. Both President Biden and former President Trump are basically wrapping up their partys respective nominations. You know, mr. Bidens already sealed the deal. Mr. Trump will do so shortly. Georgia and mississippi and washington all holding primaries today. Sean, while hawaii holds a gop caucus in all 235 delegates up for grabs for the democrats and bidens already over the top, he only needed less than 100 going into the day. As for republicans, 161 delegates on the board, so it should take a look. You see, it doesnt need much. Right on the right side of the screen there. President trump will get the job done, just like mr. Biden got the job done. Heres whats interesting , though. If you think back to what all the naysayers said about President Trumps chances. Third consecutive gop nomination. That is incredible. Now, neither man has anything scheduled for tonight, sean. But obviously were watching social media. And if either one posts anything of note, ill pass it along to you. But for now, back to you, my friend. All right. We always can count on you, kevin. As always, thank you. Now to an explore of hearing that was on capitol hill all day today. Another blatant example of americas two tiered, unequal justice system. Now the man responsible for investigating joe bidens rampant mishandling of classified material, Special Counsel robert hurd, testified before the House Judiciary Committee today, and he told lawmakers that joe Biden Willfully retain top secret classified material as a private citizen and shared such material with others. And, by the way, not people that had Security Clearances. Take a look. My team and i conducted a thorough, independent investigation. We identified evidence that the president willfully retained classified materials after the end of his vice presidency. When he was a private citizen. This evidence included an audio recorded conversation during which during which mr. Biden told his ghostwriter that he had, quote, just found all the classified stuff downstairs, end quote, when mr. Biden said this, he was a private citizen. Speaking to his ghostwriter in his private rental home in virginia. We also identified other recorded conversations during which mr. Biden read Classified Information aloud to his ghostwriter. Oh, that seems like a pretty obvious crime, right . If you did it, if i did it, if donald trump willfully retain classified material and bragged about it to a ghostwriter. Hey, i just found more classified documents in my basement. Let me read them to you. The writer. The ghostwriter, well, wed all be charged with multiple felonies, not joe biden. In fact, before bidens doj filed charges against former President Trump over classified material allegations, his home was raided by the fbi, even though he had previously been cooperating with the fbi and authorities. Remember, he invited federal officials into his home and even secured they had an opportunity to be in the room where the documents were. They called a couple of days later. Can you please put another lock on that door . And of course, at the request of the fbi, they complied. And in contrast, biden was never subjected to any predawn raid at any of the numerous locations. And there were a lot where he illicitly stored material. Take a look. Mr. Her classified documents were found at the pen biden center. Thats correct. They were found in President Bidens garage in wilmington, delaware. Yes and in his basement den. Also in the same home . Yes. In the major and his main floor office. Correct. And his third floor den . Correct. At the university of delaware. Correct. And at the biden institute. Correct. Well, that sounds like eight separate locations. And as Jonathan Turley rightly points out, her confirmed quote, that some of these documents reportedly came from what is known as a secure skiff. Well, that would likely require joe biden himself to remove them, does that not prove intent . Thats not allowed. In other words, this was Ultra Classified Material that biden removed from a secure location. But of course, her decided not to charge joe biden. Hes a democrat. Why would he . Now, among a litany of excuses, the Special Counsel just didnt think he could prove the case Beyond A Reasonable Doubt. Oh thats a reason not to bring a case. Thats news to me. Take a look. We did not, however, identify evidence that rose to the level of proof Beyond A Reasonable Doubt because the evidence fell short of that standard. I declined to recommend criminal charges against mr. Biden. Hes a nice old man, and hed come across as forgetful, and the jury would probably like him. One of hers, chief concerns was the issue of joe bidens cognitive decline. Lets look at this. I had to consider the president s memory and overall mental state, and how a jury likely would perceive his memory and mental state in a criminal trial. These are the types of issues that prosecutors analyze every day. And because these issues were important to my ultimate decision, i had to include a discussion of them in my report to the attorney general. The evidence and the president himself put his memory squarely at issue. So we have a president who is not mentally competent. And basically what hes saying to stand trial. So we will only charge his opponent who is mentally competent. Thats the argument youre going to make. According to the transcript from joes interview with the Special Counsel. Well, the president had aording to the transcript from joes interview with the Special Counsel. Well, the president had a very difficult time communicating or remembering simple, basic, fundamental facts. At one point, biden asked, quote, when did i announce for president . He also asked, quote, if it was 2013, when did i stop being Vice President . End quote. In 2009, am i still the Vice President . He then asked, quote, well, trump gets elected in november of 2017. No. Anyway biden also could not remember the words fax machine, not once, but twice, and could not remember when his son passed away. How sad is that . It turns out bidens allegation against her, you know, how dare he ask his about his son . That was a lie. It was joe biden himself that brought up the issue of his son. But keep in mind, despite all of this, joe biden is the president of the United States, running for another terme. Both joe biden and the Democratic Party swear that biden is more than capable of serving in the toughest job in the world, so surely he should be capable of standing trial. And dont forget the Special Counsel discovered what was a trove of top secret documents and at least seven unsecured locations that biden took from secure government facilities dating back to his time as a senator. Guess what . He didnt have the ability to declassify them. And what impact would the president ial records act have on any of this . Biden then shared this Classified Information with at least one private individual without any Security Clearance. His ghostwriter 8 million worth of reasons to have this information. Heres how Judiciary Committee chairman jim jordan summed it all up earlier today. Take a look, joe biden felt he was entitled. You can almost hear it. You can feel the arrogance in the statement there. Mind but even with all that, mr. Hurd chose not to bring charges. In your report, joe biden viewed his notebooks as an irreplaceable contemporaneous record of the most important moments of his vice presidency. He had written this all down for the book for the 8 million. And the next thing you say in your report is, quote, such a record would buttress his legacy as a world leader. You know what this is . It wasnt just the money. It wasnt just 8 million. It was also his ego, pride and money is why he knowingly violated the rules and willfully pried and money. Chairman jordan will be here with us in a moment. Well also get reaction from chairman comer. But jim jordan was right this was another free pass for joe biden. Despite some reprehensible conduct. Now, democrats, you would think theyd be elated. Well, instead today they were furious and some were totally overcome with hysteria, incensed that biden was forced to endure any scrutiny at all, a few democrats even seem confused that someone other than donald trump was being investigated by joes doj. Take a look. Its not a memory test for President Biden. Its a memory test for all of america. Do we remember fascism . Do we remember . Do you remember communism and totalitarianism . Have we completely forgotten the sacrifices of our parents and grandparents in prior generations . What joe biden does and Understanding Social security and medicare, medicaid are important institutions that help seniors, not senile people. I mean, id object to that comment, but people hes not nobodys suggesting hes senile. And thats disrespectful of senior people with any kind of memory, disability. Lots of seniors have memory disability, but theyre not senile. And to do such was shameful. Joe biden is a competent, good president. You are a republican, though, arent you . I am a registered republican. Yes, sir. And youre doing everything you can do to get President Trump reelected so that you can get appointed as a federal judge, or perhaps to another position in the department of justice. Isnt that correct, congressman . I have no such aspiration as i can assure you. You chose a general pejorative reference to the president. You understood when you made that decision, didnt you, mr. Her that you would ignite a political firestorm with that language . Didnt you . Republicans have used the Special Counsels report to further their long standing efforts to reelect and reelect the former White Supremacist in chief, donald trump, now, tonight, theres really just one way to hold joe biden accountable. That is in november, november 5th, to be exact. And 237 days. You, the American People, can and frankly, must remove biden from office and do it at the ballot box. As of right now, the polls are not looking good for joe biden, even after his up performance at the State Of The Union address, according to a new harris poll. Bidens approval is hovering at a record low 37. In a head to head matchup. Trump is beating him by five points anyway. Here now with reaction is c House Judiciary Committee chairman, he was leading the proceedings earlier today. Jim jordan is with us. Sir robert her testified that Biden Willfully retained classified documents. He further went into detail about how, oh, he i just found more classified documents in the basement. Goes gets them and reads them to the ghostwriter. Where did that guy have a Security Clearance . Mr. Chairman . No, he did not, sean. And youre exactly right. He retained classified documents. He disclosed. Classified documents to an individual who did not have a Security Clearance. But he did have part of the contract for the 8 million to be the ghostwriter for joe bidens book. You know, you always go to motive when theres unlawful activity. What was the motive . And Special Counsel here was clear the motive was the book. He had strong motivations to ignore. These are the words of the Special Counsel to ignore the procedures associated with classified documents because he was writing a book for which he got an 8 million advance. So that was the motive. And heres the kicker joe biden knew the rules. Hed been in office now 50 years. He chaired the Senate Foreign relations committee. He got daily Intelligence Briefings for eight years as Vice President of the United States. He had been in the Situation Room hearing all kinds of Classified Information. He knew the law. He knew the rules, but he willfully, knowingly violated those because he was writing a book. Okay. So you have a situation here where joe biden had 8 million reasons to do this, that he willfully retained classified documents. And what im hearing from robert here is that he is incompetent to stand trial. And after all, the jury would probably see him as a nice, Forgetful Old Man that doesnt know what day of the week it is, but hes going to run for president. How do you how do you juxtapose that . I dont know how you do it, but youre exactly right. Joe bidens conduct met all the elements of the crime. But because hes a Forgetful Old Man, were not going to bring charges and well just well just go from there. It makes no sense. Heres the other thing i think is so important. You hit on this, sean, in your in your monologue. This is so important. There have only been three people really run for president in the last three cycles. Hillary clinton, President Biden, President Trump all three were accused of mishandling classified documents, but only one is getting prosecuted by by jack smith, this guy whos been on an agenda to go after President Trump and went after republicans before he went after President Trump. So that is the thing i think that stands out. This Double Standard that so Many Americans see that is wrong because its supposed to be equal treatment under the law. Hillary clinton can take a hammer to documents and use bleachbit. Joe biden can can give Classified Information to the guy whos writing his book, and nothing happens there. But they go after President Trump makes no sense because its wrong. He testified that bidens ghostwriter destroyed the evidence, when he was named Special Counsel. They were able to recover a lot of that, maybe all of it. I didnt get the full picture on that. Yeah, they recovered it. But the fact that he destroyed it, if thats not obstruction. And youre right, sean, he did it after robert. He is named Special Counsel. So its like, oh, shazam, theres a Special Counsel. Im going to delete this stuff. Im going to get rid of it. Nothing happens to him but go to the trump situation. Some guy moved some boxes. This is alleged. Its not proven. Somebody moved some boxes and he gets charged with President Trump. Whats again a different standard. And that is again that is what is so wrong with this. And whats so frustrating i think to the American People. Well how could they be i mean, if the guy is, you know, hes not capable to stand trial if hes incompetent to stand trial, well just charge the guy that is competent. Wow, what a what a great justice system. Congressman. Very revealing today. Great job. We appreciate you being with us. Thank you. Joining us now, chairman of the House Oversight committee, thats james comer. Lets get your overview of what what what happened today and your takeaway. Well, its similar to what were investigating with the biden Influence Peddling, what we had with the mishandling of classified documents. You have a crime and a cover up. The crime, as jim jordan eloquently explained, was joe biden was trying to profit, trying to make money just like they were doing in the biden Influence Peddling scheme. So he broke the law. Then the cover up is what i referred to during my Opening Statement and my line of questioning today at the hearing was the timeline is not consistent. Theres an hour. Theres a year and a half difference between when we believe, according to people weve interviewed, the classified documents were discovered versus when the white house says they were discovered between that time period. What happened to those documents . Who all had access to those documents . Thats the question. And thats what were going to try to determine the answer to. But sean, its very difficult when you have those documents in eight different loc
