>> jesse: welcome to "hannity" we begin with a moment of gratitude. thanks to senator republicans in 2016 and the supreme court, it's now obvious that biden's ag is more of a political fact lang even holder. today he was grilled and exposed on the hill, take a look. >> a matter in dispute in discovery in that court and we'll leave it for the district court to make a determination. >> it's not in dispute, this is what he said in the court filing, jack smith steams at that shipment we do not control the offices. >> we'll you communicate with them whether you control them do you communicate with them and provide those communications. >> money won't solve the problem when department of homeland security and the president refused to enforce the law. >> sean: we'll bring you the full highlights coming up straight ahead, will get reaction from the house judiciary committee chairman and data one of the hunter biden trial featuring his actual laptop as evidence. by the way did you get that, hunter biden's laptop was real all along. first return to a political stunt at the white house, three and half years into his four-year term only 153 days until election day and all of a sudden your president shuffled out to the podium to announce an executive order on the border crisis. 's deadly crisis has been arranging for more than three plus years, but with just a few months until the election, biden has now decided that it's time for action. of course as election conversion, that will do next to nothing to actually solve the crisis. it's all smoke and all me years. and as reported by her own bill, it does not stop the 1500 illegal immigrants per day released into the us or the 30,000 illegal immigrants per month at biden's flying directly into the us that you are paying for. meanwhile unaccompanied minors are exempt the ordering don't expect any mass deportation of the 10 million plus on that end joe biden illegal immigrants already in the country and as we have mentioned many times from our top geopolitical foes. in other words nothing is going to change except biden's talking points. let's step back, how did we get here? at the end of trump's first term, the border was secure like never before. illegal immigration plummeted, transporter security measures they were working. in january of 2021, on biden's very first day in office with the stroke of the pen as we've been saying over and over, he terminated terms of border emergency designation and redirected funds away from the border wall, he suspended deportations and ended trump's remain in mock mexico policy title 42 and that's not on the first few months of the biden administration so many protections were rescinded that the dea secretary could not even be bothered to list them all, the list was so long. 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 ruled that deprived vulnerable migrants from accessing a certain critical life benefits. we have a restored deferred action for childhood arrivals program, doctor program. we have rescinded so many and have restored so many that he really dismantled. >> sean: surprise of illegal immigrants around the world began pouring across the border,'s scenes were and remain a horrific, patrol was totally overwhelmed. setting nonexistent especially for certain special interest countries that we know are plagued with terrorism and violence and are known to hiebert -- harbour terrace. bonita ministration lied directly to your face and every americans face for almost three straight years. and he told you that the border was secure. in the border was closed. and they said it and set it and let's see, biden said a, vice president harris said it, circle back saturday, they all said it. take a look. >> sounds to most folks like a crisis. >> its way down, we now have gotten control. >> the border is closed. >> nor could i have been clearing continue to be so. which is that the border is closed. >> united states will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border. >> the border we are working to make the border more secure. >> you're confident border secure? >> we have a secure border and that is a priority for any nation including ours in our administration. >> you agree that the border is secure? >> sean: they all knew and were lying. but they did it anyway. despite the massive influx that we saw with our own eyes of illegal immigrants the administration and did nothing to stop or even slow the breakdown at our border, now the biggest national security threat can clear and present danger to every american. the white house told you not to believe your own eyes. and then spend billions of transporting illegal immigrants across the country so the visuals at the border would be better. they were and are guilty today of aiding and abetting ee illegal immigrants and assisting in the trafficking of illegal immigrants. now that is when major american cities all started to feel the pain, didn't you even democratic cities, even sanctuary cities even sanctuary states. resources were trained. shelters full, schools and public parks were commandeered to help house the newly arriving joe biden unvented illegals. financial burden was and is extreme. for example,, let's look at new york city, sanctuary city that it is. one in every five hotels is now used to shelter illegal immigrants. month after month taxpayers pick up that hotel tab, thank god i left. and as a thank you to the good people of new york, some of these illegals turn to crime, take a look at your screen, just this week and unvented joe biden illegal immigrant, this one from venezuela, arrived in this country in 2023 and was enjoying a taxpayer-funded tell room in city shot two new york city police officers why, police suspected him committing a series of robberies naturally despite the biden administration best efforts to cover up the crisis, americans on both sides of the aisle have become outraged and for good reason. so after a few bad poll numbers and 153 days towards the election, biden changing his tune, they call that an election year conversion, it actually has a name. he emitted the border was a disaster, then he tried to blame republicans, remember. he said that he did all that he could do to secure the border, told us many times and set it in january, take a look. [ inaudible ] >> he had the power hole time, he caused the crisis with the stroke of a pen and as we had said he could at any time fixed this crisis with the stroke of a pen. today's actions prove he always had that power to make the change, only his changes today, when you take down deeper they are completely meaningless. and on the other hand the insane senate immigration bill, that would only streamline asylum abuse by adding processing capabilities, it wasn't a border security bill, if anything this legislation might have caused an increase in illegal immigration. so the bill flops. and after a few more weeks of gas lighting you the american people and blaming republicans for the crisis that he created, biden went back to the drawing board. and today after swearing that he lacked the ability to address the border after three years of lying saying the border is closed and it secure, seeing it over and over again, he signed a single executive order to do just that. but as the ever so eloquent senator john kennedy pointed out today, this is just the latest dishonest political manoeuvring designed to fool the american people, take a look. >> i want you to listen up, here's the drill. president biden is in trouble politically. he's pulling up there with fungal infections. the reason for that is that gave in to his party. and he dissolved the southern border. now five months before an election he has to hear to be willing to do something about it. >> never trust a man. >> sean: don't trust a guy whose uncle was eaten by cannibals who was in for three and half years and counting he chose not to secure the border, the crisis is not an accident, this was and is intentional. and it won't stop until biden has gone from office, hopefully and 153 days he loses. just this week we learned the ministration has legalized hundreds of thousands of illegals without even telling you, here with three action governor of the great state of texas was had to fight a lot of this battle alone. and the biggest part of your fight has been with marat garland will get to later tonight and joe biden. and all the lawsuits in warfare to prevent you from keeping her state in the citizens in your state safe and secure. your reaction. >> first of all to your point the biden a ministration can try to do whatever they want to do, texas is knocking to back off of what we're doing to actually securing the border, we built a border wall and we were erected one hundreds of miles of razor wire barriers and get this. the numbers are astounding. and while illegal immigration is increasing by about 20 percent or 25 percent, in texas it has gone down about 74 percent because of the resistance that we have put up. but know this biden announced today is nothing more than gas lighting his fellow americans. because there is nothing in the announcement today that actually shows any enforcement of any immigration law that denies illegal entry into the country. he talks about trying to have this a silent process and changing the rules that will allow more people in. what he did today was actually entice more people to come to our border, to increase illegal immigration and not to stop it, he's not using any tool or strategy to deny illegal immigration. importantly there were three laws that exist that biden is not enforcing. one is to deny illegal entry and the other is to detain illegal immigrants i do make it here in the third to build barriers, he's choosing not to do any of that and instead he's had open border policies that have led to more than 10 million illegal immigrants into our country. >> sean: when i last saw you when i was at the border with you and president truong. i waste there and i saw the barriers that you built. we went over the numbers, you told us how effective it has been an expanded it further, it's at a great financial cost of the people of texas because you're paying for all this. on top of the guard that you were deploying to the border. and all without the help of the administration and to add to your burden they keep bringing you to court. are you still facing lawsuits from joe biden and his weapon iced doj? >> we are, you remember the big orange buoys that we put into the rio grande river. biden and garland filed a lawsuit to put a stop to it and as we're talking right now they remain in the river. you remember when the border patrol were ordered to cut the razor wire? i told the national guard to triple the amount of razor wire, that razor wire remains up. you saw shelby park a 50-acre park in texas where there had been 5000 people crossing the border a day. now there are only on average two people crossing the border in that area a day. and those people cross are arrested by the texas department of public safety. >> i saw for myself, i saw the magnitude of work and i have to imagine you're spending tens and millions of dollars, i saw you built other barriers you put containers out there and you put trucks out there. and every step of the way you have been stifled and stymied in stopped by the federal government, why do you think that they are doing is? if i went down to your border, i'm pretty confident that if i picked up people at that border and i transported them to another city or state in this country that probably hide not get out of the state of texas without be arrested for human trafficking. >> listen, the biden administration is trying to use every tool that they can to allow these open border policies so they can redesign the united states of america, texas is having none of it. that's why we've done things that no other state has done in the history of america. it's also why are action has actually led to a decrease in illegal immigration. all it takes is enforcement and deterrence. that's what texas is doing and that's what the biden administration is refusing to do. >> sean: texas governor i appreciate the fact and said that you have to go alone in the great state of texas have to go to loan. i know you had support from your congressional delegation, et cetera. but thank you for your time it sad that this happens. tonight has predicted biden has now capitalized on the law for arrogance president dropped referring to his opponent as a convicted felon. all nine people say that i'm voting for the convicted felon and sing it proudly. at a fundraiser biden telling democrats trump will pose a greater threat to democracy in his second term. this from a guy who's actively trying to jail with his weapon iced department of justice, his chief political opponent and by the way from his party that try to keep trump off the ballot multiple states. sounds like a threat to democracy. here with reaction former white house chief of staff, podcast host, i said this on the first day back after christmas vacation. i said january 6th abortion, they're gonna talk about democracy and peril than they're going to use the old playbook that republicans are racist and sexist and all the phobias that you can ever imagine. and this is all that they've god. and now they seem to have arisen to the top of the heap because they cannot weigh in on the proposition that you're better off than you were four years ago. >> they can't win on that are on the border, what you just talked about. of course. but this is happening all across the country. what they've done to trunk the or doing in states across the country, easy to michigan and georgia, it's something that is incredibly dangerous, attorney general across the country think that they can do this. but let's not forget these are people who ran on creating a crime, matching the president to the crime and then putting him in prison and then you have the president of the united states going, look, he is now, a convicted felon and you have to vote for me. this is one step away from the russian counterpart. when you have of the united states taking his opposition in jailing them. what is next? you're seeing this, like i said you're seeing this in other states as well where they are either finding that this person will be my opposition, i'm going to create a crime and match them to it or they're taking other people who have run and said we want to make sure that they can never do it again. and we're going to find a crime and match them to it. it's incredibly dangerous, if the american people do not see what is going on. that we we'll have republicans jailed across the country. it is extraordinarily scary times in the united states of america. >> we'll get to this in a little more detail later. even in every appearance before congress that the danger to this country has never been as loud as it is right now. it's never been this bad as what he's saying. a lot of it has to be where a lot of these illegal immigrants are common, iran and syria, tens of thousands, china and russia and egypt, afghanistan and yemen in kazakhstan. i would argue that it's inevitable now, we have terror cells that joe biden is allowed into this country in the country is going to get hit. those cops shot and the he has blood on his hand, any attack on this country i blame biden and he we'll have blood on his hands and he has failed this country needs failed in his duties as commander-in-chief and that is to secure our border and prevent our geopolitical flows from entering unvented. that's what he's allowed to happen on top of the cost of everything. >> and it goes right to the heart of intent and competency of the president. the intent is there, you hit on a before with the governor, on day one of his presidency he signed nine executive orders, six of them had to do with immigration. and one of them was stopped the wall, one of them was and the executive order that he try to put in today. it's not really do that. but remain in mexico policy, the third executive order he signed forced municipalities to count illegal immigrants in their census count so that those municipalities can get more money. that's the one untold story about this, if you ever wondered why these municipalities declaring themselves sanctuary cities its because they want more federal money and they have a law that lets them get more federal money and as far as what you guys were talking about, alvin campaigned on the fact that he was the best situated to go after trump because he went after his children and the trump organization over 100 times. they made it political but look what happens. we have an election now, a few months away. what do you need to do to went in election when only 100,000 people in five states are gonna decide to pick any money and enthusiasm. there is no doubt that we have a party that is unified and off the charts now because of what happened. and on top of it the record amount of money that that a party is raising. i talked to the present a few days ago. asked my question, other than the headache of this trial that you just as there any right now going well this campaigning he said none. everything. >> charts rain. anything democrats bit off more than she witnessed. >> sean: if it's about the economy or borders or if it's about lawn order, if it's about a war in europe for the middle east, if it's about his surrender the war on terrorism, if it's about his cognitive decline, how does he ever win. if it's about law fair, it's never been this bad. and there's not a single thing he can point to that he can say, my policies have been successful. thank you, when we come back grilled capitol hill by jim jordan, another house republican. initially the best moments and get reaction as we continue, thank you for being with us.
