0 what i believe and like i said to the policeman, my weapon is my words and i'll always use my words to fight for more freedom and a smaller government in canada. i will be back in manitoba. >> tucker: we're out of time, maxime, we're rooting for you, come to america. thank you. >> sean: by the way, tucker, i agree with you. welcome to "hannity." we begin with this fox news alert. the 45th president of the united states, donald trump will join us for an exclusive interview. first, a recap of joe biden's sippy cup pathetic incoherent, at times angry and unhinged performance in geneva, on top of his disastrous g-7 meetings. let's be clear. the so-called summit will vladimir putin did absolutely nothing to advance any american interests in any way. that's a fact. instead vladimir received a massive platform in exchange for zero concessions whatsoever and putin then used that platform to take shot after shot after shot at our country. the united states of america. joe, of course, is nowhere to be found correcting the record because he was afraid to stand next to vladimir. probably because he's not capable of doing it. putin did not commit to ending the cyberattacks against our country. he didn't take responsibility for the highjacking of over a hundred u.s. companies, nine federal agencies. he didn't free to free americans now wrongfully imprisoned in his hostile regime of russia. he didn't take responsibility for the havana syndrome attack against the u.s. diplomat. he didn't agree to stop poisoning and killing his political enemies. he didn't agree to curtail his military aggression in eastern europe and around the world and yesterday russia conducted a massive naval drill about 300 miles off the coast of our state of hawaii. the first time they have done this since the cold war. i wonder, joey, if that was a coincidence, when you think your pal vladimir did it on purpose? we all know the answer. putin also gifted a spy satellite to iran. how generous. joe biden was unable and unwilling to hold putin accountable for anything, as the chairman of the human rights foundation put it together even on msdnc putin got what he wanted. does that surprise anybody? remember, just after joe shuttered the keystone xl pipeline, high-paying jobs, that he took away with the stroke of a pen, joey turns around and gives vladimir putin, you know, the nod. he literally says okay on the nord stream 2 pipeline into germany. that would bring the country that we're helping to defend against russia, that would bring them closer and help make russia richer again. by overriding the state department recommendation. joe was told not to do it and he did it anyway. he gave the waiver and lifting all u.s. sanctions on the project, and what do we get in return for this grand gesture that will enrich vladimir putin and russia? nothing. we got nothing. appeasement doesn't work. has never worked. never will work. especially when the commander-in-chief is like joe, frail and weak and constantly cognitively, well, weakened. putin doesn't respect and he doesn't fear joe biden in any way. so let me be clear. we're not rooting for that hostile actor, that murderer, that killer, from that hostile regime. he's a killer. he's a thug, and frankly, he's evil. he's a criminal in charge of a massive nuclear stockpile. so obviously, it is critical that the u.s. has a president who is sharp, mentally alert, tough, tenacious, and a president willing to turn the screws on vladimir to keep him in check. unfortunately, joe is not that guy. this week, joe bumbled his way through europe embarrassing the u.s. every step of the way. today he showed up to the summit with a pile of flash cards that he was constantly referencing, and had a hard time keeping up with. following the summit, no joint press conference. why? because the administration knew darn well joe would be humiliated and for good reason. instead joe delivered a short scripted speech from a tell prompt -- teleprompter. he botched his favorite line from your declaration of independence. don't believe knit we've got the videotape. >> i made it clear to president putin and will continue to raise issues of fundamental human rights because that's what we are. that's who we are. the idea is we hold these truths self-evident that all men and women, we haven't lived up to it completely but we've always widened the arc of commitment and included more and more people. >> sean: all men and women are created by the thing, you know, the thing, god, joe, god, creator of everything. joe was clearly flustered. look at your screen. at one point he took off his coat, dropped it on the ground. took off his sunglasses, put them back on. then off again, then back on again. as you can see joe did not look particularly sharp. as short prepared remarks he took a few questions from a handful of, once again preselected reporters. even that was too strenuous for sippy cup. just watch as joe becomes completely unhinged after a very normal reasonable question, even from a fake news cnn reporter. take a look. >> why -- behavior, mr. president? >> i said -- what i said was, let's get it straight, i said what -- is the rest of the world -- [inaudible] i'm -- why you stating the facts. [inaudible] >> denied any cyberattacks [inaudible] how does that help to be a constructive -- [inaudible] >> sean: looks like grandpa got agitated at the reporters. can you imagine if it was president trump who said that? everyone, fake news, cnn, they would be apoplectic and that would go on for weeks. the hysteria would be off the charts. instead the fans at cnn are more than happy to take a tongue lashing. a few minutes after that outburst he was still agitated, saying the media was being too negative. apparently he thinks he deserves more praise from his friends and the media mob that put him into the protection program as a candidate. take a look. >> you've got to be negative, you've got to have a negative view on life. >> you never ask positive questions. why, in fact, having an agreement? we'll find out -- the thing that always amazes me about the questions, apologize for having been short. if you were in my position, you said, i don't think -- i think it's really going to be bad. guaranteed nothing happens. >> sean: joey, i don't remember anyone asking you why you stood with the former klansmen who filibuster the 1964 voting acts to stop the immigration of schools and school busing because you thought public schools would become racial jungles. that would be a tough question. i don't remember you ever being asked that question. ultimately zero agreement struck so the so-called big summit wasn't so big at all. joe isn't worried. he thinks putin will change his malignant ways because he wants the world community to like and respect him. that's not how it works, joe. is joe really that dumb? i'm hoping he's just playing dumb on tv. putin doesn't give a rip what the united states or europe thinks or feels. he cares about power. he cares about money. he runs his country like a mob boss. he'll continue to kill his political rivals and he'll conduct criminal activities all around the world and probably bribe top children, vice presidents moving forward. unless he's seriously challenged. sanctions, financial penalties, expansion of u.s. gas, are critical tools for american through peace diplomacy with russia but sadly joe biden prefers a different approach. appeasement, giving up energy independence, getting rid of american jobs but waivers for vladimir. that approach will never work. president trump will respond to all of this in just a few moments. first, joining us, ranking member of the house judiciary committee, congressman jim jordan along with former trump white house chief-of-staff mark meadows. mark, we start with you tonight. your overall feeling about this and, to me, i think one of the greatest weaknesses, the reason i suspect joe wouldn't stand next to vladimir and do a press conference is because whatever they prepared for joe to say, probably before leaving washington, if they stuck with the talking points and it didn't happen, vladimir would have corrected him right then and there and embarrassed him on the world stage. that's my suspicion. what's your take? >> well, obviously, that's one option. it's pretty pathetic when joe biden is more strenuous in his arguments with a reporter than he is with vladimir putin. we believe vladimir putin is going to change. here's what's going to happen. he's going to get more and more bold. he saw the weakness of joe biden, the president of the united states. he never saw that when donald trump was in the white house. listen, here's the problem. he didn't get the easy questions from the seven hand selected reporters that he had to call on. he didn't get to answer what flavor of ice cream he liked. when you're looking at joe biden you have to think, well, the curtains are blowing but the window must be closed. >> sean: you know, jim jordan, you were all over this, i was all over this, mark meadows was all over this, when you stand back we heard nothing but three years of lies, a hoax, and conspiracy theory about trump. the only person that colluded in 2016, that paid for the dirty russian disinformation dossier, that was hillary clinton and the dnc, and the deep state that then didn't verify it because it was all full of lies. as the bulk of information to secure pfizer warrants to spy on candidate trump and president trump. i don't know of any trump that got paid a penny from any oligarch in russia but i do know a guy by the name of hunter with no experience that got $3.5 million from a russian oligarch, former first lady of moscow. how is it the media can get it all upside-down and ask backwards? you've got to help me out with that. >> yes, president's son gets paid by a russian oligarch, the wife, and you have joe biden taking off sanctions and approving the pipeline. i'm old enough to remember when the press called that collusion but it's a whole different set of rules for this guy. you have to right questions what did we gain? what did america gain? absolutely nothing from this. and again, that's on top of what already happened with the sanctions and the pipeline. contrast this with president reagan who said, mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. trump said america first all the time and joe biden said what can we do about climate change? what do we need to give up? that's what the world now sees and it's scary when you think about this is the guy making decisions and our adversaries see the exact same thing that you and i see and all the viewers see. >> sean: i want to get your take on this, mark meadows. unfortunately, both or you were not very friendly to me because i would ask for information and you often hid it from me but you knew it was true and then would you say, yes, but i can't talk about it. i would ask the obvious question, am i over the target? and i might get some affirmation or read into it affirmation but the reality is, it was -- ukraine bayed the bidens. russia paid the bidens. kazakhstan paid the bidens. china paid the bidens. imagine if it was donald trump's family that made all of that money. >> listen what they do is have one standard for the democrats and another standard for president trump and his family. and when you start to see that that's what the american people hate. jim is exactly right. when you start to see what joe bind has given away and what the american people have received in return, zero, not a single thing, and yet, what we continue to see is a weakness abroad. listen, he gets an "f" for his broad performance and quite frankly, the only good news about him going abroad is that he's doing less damage over here and it's really sad. but it's also important to remember, sean, every time, they are going to accuse president trump of doing things that they actually are guilty of. >> sean: when you compare four years of -- i'll ask president trump about this tonight, jim jordan, but when you compare four years ago to today and you look at what donald trump, when he went to the g-7, he rocked that conference. >> yes. >> sean: he went in there and said, sorry, the day of us paying all of your bills is over. the day of unfair trade agreements, that's over, too. and, oh everybody, was offended. but who benefitted? the american people. >> the american people benefitted. donald trump is a leader who knows what he believes and went and did it and told the world why he was doing it because it was good for our country. it happened to be good for the world when we lead, not when we show weakness. never forget this, too. the obama-biden administration, remember what they gave you, ukraine. they gave them mre's. this came out during the impeachment he gave them javelin missiles to deal with the russian aggression, and then what do they do? they impeach him when he has a phone call with the ukrainian president. it's a double standard but the american people see it for what it is and they appreciate the leadership that president trump displayed. >> sean: knowing he's the hostile evil actor that he is, last question, mark meadows, what is putin thinking tonight, in your view? >> he's thinking there is a new day for him. an open door, basically for him to do whatever he wants to do. he didn't get that kind of response from president trump. i can tell you it was always firm. it was always america first, and candidly, that's not the message that putin got tonight and it's a sad day for the american people when we have thrown up the white surrender flag when traveling abroad. >> sean: congressmen mark meadows and chief, thank you both for being with us. no president in the modern era was tougher on russia and putin that donald trump although the mob and the media constantly lied about it. ignoring hillary's dossier and the russian money. we had increased sanctions under trump, expansion of oil and gas production making us energy independent for the first time in 75 years. that, too, was donald trump. a decisive military confrontation in syria. that humiliated vladimir. but perpetual sore loser hillary clinton, she can't stop rehashing her favorite russia, russia, russia conspiracy theory from 2016. now, for those of you at the "new york times," got pulitzer s you need to return. maybe you can remind them that hillary paid for the dirty dossier. russian dossier. take a look. >> putin made it his mission to deny me the presidency in part because, you know, i did raise issues that were uncomfortable with him. i did speak out about the oppression, and frankly the rigged elections in russia, because i do think you need both an inside and an outside game. you need a public and a private approach to putin, and, you know, that's what joe biden gets. >> sean: while she's the one that paid for that disinformation, used to spy on candidate transition team and later president trump. the bidens made millions from russia. the russian oligarch that i just mentioned and the first former first lady of moscow. the bidens, that's right, they got the money. not the trumps. how ironic, how pathetic, maggie, the "new york times," abc, nbc, cbs, fake news cnn and msnbc really are. president trump will respond, but first, joining with us reaction, former state department spokesperson morgan ortegas and others. let's get your perspective on how you think putin reads this today. >> it's funny, you were just playing that clip from hillary on a private and public approach. president trump lived that every day of his presidency. if you look at the actual actions, not the words but the actions that president trump took in addressing russian wrongdoing, there is over 52 actual sanctions, executive orders and legislation that the president was responsible for in taking on russia. in 2017 alone, you had president trump addressing the yahoo hack and imposing sanctions. you had treasury sanctions. how many times was steve mnuchin in the press shop addressing and outlining sanctions that we were taking against russia? you had to legislation that was signed, banned russian software, export restrictions, the global -- act, legal weapons, jim jordan sort of alluded to it but there were legal weapons that were actually delivered, lethal weapons, delivered to ukraine, and there was another 50 other actios taken by the trump administration. what i just shot out was what happened in 2017. another narrative that was upside-down, it was donald trump who signed the executive order in 2018 addressing russian interference in american elections. so yes. he treated vladimir putin decently. he was diplomatic, but so was ronald reagan when he met with mchale gorbachev, and he also said they were the evil empire and one of the most evil places on the face of the earth. ronald reagan and donald trump together address this issue. >> and he walked away and gave us a line, i use often to this day, trust but verify. dan hoffman you have the great distinction of scaring the hell out of me both in sing bother and helsinki, telling me in singapore the chinese were probably following my every move, you were a hundred percent certain, and in helsinki you gave me the good news that the russians were following me. i didn't particularly like it. i'm outside did great country i love doing my job. my question to you is, you know russian intelligence. you know the minds of former kgb operatives like putin, what is he thinking tonight? >> i think what vladimir putin is thinking is that he kind of got the reset that he was looking for. he doesn't want to have a price for having invaded ukraine and annexing crimea, using a banned chemical weapon against his own citizens including in the uk, interfering in our elections, launching a solar wind pack and allowing cyberhacking groups to homestead on his territory. when he got today was kind of a reset. our ambassadors are going back to work in their respective capitals. there will be ongoing dialogue between our two nation on cybersecurity. but there was nothing to hold putin accountable. for me the heroes of today's summit was the free press. they were the ones exposing putin's hypocrisy and false equivalencies and the kgb propaganda spewing out of his mouth. >> ortegas, you worked for our mutual friend, former secretary of state pompeo. i asked him about the biden administration getting lectured on human rights abuses by of all countries, china, in anchorage, alaska. we have an offer. pompeo will debate vladimir and putin can pick the russian moderator. i don't think he would duck and hide the way biden did and wouldn't do a joint presser. >> no. >> sean: my question is, you know the intelligence and red the briefings before, how does putin interpret today? >> first, that would be must see tv, sean. you're always must see tv but i think we need to make that happen. one of the things that you said earlier that hillary clinton said you need to deal with putin differently in public and differently in private. i can't tell you how far that was from the truth from my experience. when pompeo went out and said something to the press, that's exactly what he said to putin and to the foreign minister who he met with many times. in fact, i think it's dangerous to try and have a public per son -- persona and a private persona. when you look at what you're trying to get out of it, it's a normal meeting. i don't know why they call it a summit. my inclination is perhaps they didn't want to put putin and biden together because he was embarrassed by the chinese when he lashed out, so that allowed for 45 minutes for putin to rail against the united states, lie, do all things that putin normally does. there are two things your viewers have to think about for the next four years. we're in a nuclear arms race with chine and russia. this administration may not be talking about it. but you should know that china and russia are engaged
