0 time. don't know what happened there. we're glad you joined us for it. will be back tomorrow night and every weekday, 8:00 p.m. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying of pomposity, smugness and groupthink. have a great night with thehi ones you love. we'll see you tomorrow and welcome to hannity. and tonight we begin with a fox news alert. the 44th president of the united states, donald trump. he'll join us live in just a moment for an exclusive interview. the president will weighgh in obviously on the economy, on inflation, energy, open borders, ukraine, china, so much more . but first, big news from the president's hometown of new york city while his former hometown where a man namedne frank james has been apprehended after now allegedly rounds into30 a crowded subway in brooklyn, new york , shooting 10 commuters. now tonight , the perpetrators twisted motives and ideologyat are coming into focus. a and what are a series off deranged videos filled with violent rhetoric posted on youtube while james wasli railing against white people,an asian americans, jewish americans, hispanic americans and the united states of america, evenan trash joe biden supreme court nominee judge jackson because she quote married a white man. james also filmed himself on the streets of new york screaming racial, racial y slurs at asians and hispanics as they walk by tellings him they shouldn't exist. and according to social media,aa he wascc also a big supporter of screwy louis farrakhan. louis farrakhan of the nation of islam. naturally, this story will be swept under the rug by the media mob guest frank james probably won't fit their political narrative. in fact, one disappointed former political dnc host tweete the suspect is a male blackla. we just get how about we just t get the bad guy and we protect the good guys? all peoplee, al anyway. coming up, we'll get president trump's reaction to this attack.is the deteriorating conditions in america's major cities. law and order, safety, securityi can't pursue happiness without it. firstness, more bad news from biden's disastrous economy thought itdi was bad yesterday.n well, we can nowew report brand new numbers out today. wholesale prices have surged by a whoppingge eleven point two percent in march. this is the highest increasere year over year ever in history. when donald trump left office, it was one point six percent. and make no mistake, these costs, wholesale prices that will be passed on to you, the consumer wholesale priceas increases are paid by they people like us that buy retail . look at your screen.olesal wholesale prices have been rising during the entiree bideny presidency month after month, worse and worse. f not vladimir putin's fault, just like inflation, like weon showed last night also has beeno on a steep incline ever since the day that joe biden was sworn in . just like gase th pricese da ase see right there, which is why they were rising waybe beforeut vladimir putin invaded ukraine . this is anse excuse. th these are three big liesre told by joe biden and of course his minions in the media mob. keep in mind when donald trump left office an average gallon of gasoline at the pump was two dollars and forty two cents in inflation was only one point four percent, not eight point five . and clearly biden's green new deal climate alarmists socialista agenda is an unmitigated disaster. you don't have to graduate fromv harvard or mit to figure that out. now he restricted domestic oil and gas production.he k he killed the keystone xl pipelineilled. by the way, the premier in alberta made the statement that had not stopped production. it would be by finished by now and we would be importing nine hundred thousand barrels ofl, oil, canadian oil every single day we could get back toet building it and get that oil and even help out our friends in western europe anyway. he spent trillions of dollars n on handouts. the economy is now suffering in every way imaginable and about to get worse. butse today, as we predicted right here on this show monday, we told you on monday that theue numbers are coming out tuesday and wednesday we told you that jen psaki, joe biden and company would be full of excuses, starting to blame vladimir. take a look to the president acknowledged any responsible for the inflation that we're seeing now basedec on the decisions that he's made when he came into office. the i would say the president has talked about quite a bit. there are b a range of factors including the pandemic, the impact on the supply chains and our effort and what we'veo tried to do from the beginning is take stepseg to address that. given energyha is such a significant driver of this data, an increase in energy prices over the last month plus since the invasion of ukraine, that's factual. based on data that we have seen out there. so has our effort and our focuss been to try to address it and take mitigation measures when we can. all right. and soccer. you can see there, by the way, what should be great on msnbcc because they never tell the truth anyway.e's no she's not fooling anybody. lookt foolin, this quinnipiac pt today, a plurality of americans biden is the most responsible for the spike in gas pricesig and of course the record high inflation nowh more new numbers today from quinnipiac. it found that their pollingounds showing joe biden's approval rating at its lowest point evers . 33%, only 26% of independents approve of joe biden today. t pe five different polls have biden underwater by double digits. ae americans are not happy. biden's religiouspy. climate alarmist policies have been a a nightmare. oing to but instead of going to the simple answer changingg course admitting failure, the biden administration just doublesilur down on what's not working.g. and today biden treasury secretaryy vowed to redouble our efforts to decarbonize our economy. g, w no, we should be drilling. we should be fracking and we should be extracting coal t that is the lifeblood of the world's economy. but why gohe for the obvious? take a look at the recent ipcc reports confirm that our window of opportunity to leave our planet worthy of our children and our grandchildren is even closer to being permanently shutn. we must redouble our efforts too decarbonize our economies, recognizing that countries will use a range of tools including carbon pricing regulation and subsidies to achieve these emission reductions if they decarbonize and then we more dependent on let's see russia, iran opac, venezuela not a good plan for national security reasonst . in other words, even less domestic production of the lifeblood of our economy which is oil, gas, et cetera and costs that will continue to rise every single week, every single month for every single american. what's the definition of insanityic? ame dumb isn't that doing the same dumb thing over and over again and expectingpect a different result?t because that's what they're doing. they don't care if you suffer. , i don't care if you have trouble paying your bills. they don't care if your life gets worse. they don't care about the high cost of a gallon of gasoline. ou they just lecture you a on driving less and getting electric cars and most people can't afford their religious climate alarmists. that's the only thing m that matters your sacrifice. butur a small price to pay it with reaction. author of what is n going to be a very important big book defeatingak big governmentnm socialism saving america's futureen s. way, by the way, amazon.com will put it up on "hannity" .com as well . fox news contributor, former speaker of the house newt gingrich. you know that really ise what we're battling against here because new green deal is when you look at the actual policy is redistribution. >> it is socialism, is it not? all you have is a combination of big government socialism and a kind of woke really sort of secular religion. r and the problem that biden has is that he can't break looseea from it. i mean, you know, i know most p people in the country know there are wayseo to solve these problems that make life better for america l and to make ameria a stronger country all those solutions just drive the bigt government socialist and the left's crazy. and so biden sits there and does more of what doesn't work and then tries o to blame putin for somebody the big corporations i mean there's always somebody else. e you know, i was struck the other day that the biden presidency might be called from the basement to the bicycle because if you watch him, he spends every weekend bicycling. clot he's not engaged. eng he's not helping the people of ukraine. he's certainly not solving our problems. he to be evenemlele aware of how bad the border is to our south. p the crime problem which croppedo up again in new york today in a very vivid, powerful wayowes doesn't seem to affectn' him. you have to wonder, i mean, w what kind of total cocoon are they living under that they don't realize this is we're drifting towards a disaster and the american people are going to fire look, even even uncovered they ran out of>> tess over christmas. how that happened, i don't know. that's almost an impossibility. as weas entered year three, the border disaster, no the economy, i read the numbers a disaster, energy policies. it was two dollars and forty two cents a gallon. ald trump. donald trump i paid for seventy nine a gallon this weekend9 . inflation eight point five percent. donald trump left off one point. four whole whole prices highesth ever. wholesale prices eleven point two. donald trump left it at donald tru one point six . these are not small changes. every major us is now suggesting we are going to hit a recessionn and it's going toa be bad now the only way that i see that they can get out of this is go back to trump's policies and we know that's nott going to happen. >> right. and that's the whole>> problem.i everything which works, which is what ronald reagan dids, what we did with the contractac with america, what president trump did. all those things are obvious and we know they work. but if you are in the secular religion of the left and you get together with your friends and you think that figuring out which pronoun to use isan more important thant solving crime or you figure out that brainwashing third graders about transgender behavior is more important in controlling the border. tha i mean, just go down the list. i think by any reasonable historic standards these people are crazy.i don't i don't think they can change . cause i think they're crazy and i think that if biden tried to change, they erupt overnight and you would have an extra ordinary civil war i the democratic party . what do you make of quinnipi it's not a right wing or conservative, paul. y have joe by any measure, they have joe'ss approval rating at 33%. they have his approval with independents at 26%. . recent polls have showed a dramatic demographic shift of african-americans and hispanic americans towards the republican a party . then you've got the bad economy that's impacting everybody, the disastrous afghanistan withdrawal and frankly a lack of urgency from my perspective as it relates to ukraine and providing them the munitions to beat back vladimir putin's forcesvi b without one american boots on the ground. >> well, let me let me start by pointing out that when hillary clinton offered advice and recently her husband lost fifty three seats and forst the first time in 40 years the republicans controlled the house. that was their first term. t whenwe barack obama last week offered his advice, he, he lost sixty three seats and lost control3 of the house. so having them offer advice on the election i thought wasy terrific and i hope that they take their advice because it will be a total disastera to. but the quinnipiac poll is pretty obvious. you i filled up my my truck the other dayay and is about eighty five dollars close to fill up her car. a i have a hybrid so mine's slightly cheaper and she paid p i think ninety one dollarsai to fill up her car. you go to the grocery store and the prices have all gone up. one of the folks i work has said they're not even going to try to buy steak in the nearke future because i absurdly too expensive. we're having a disaster with chickens in the midwest a where we have an avian flu that's leading to the killings. literally millions of chickens. wheat is going to go up dramatically because ukraine and russia were huge wheato exporters. so when you look around, if you're a normal everyday person and you don't understand, you're supposed to believe whatever brainwashing the new york times the washington post put out this morning. you go in in your life and you're seeing real problems put in making ends meet and youb start hearing about a recession ,a recession in thison economy coming right after covid will be extraordinarily painful and as one persondi is going to blame for it now that's joe biden they're not going to go out theree and scratch their head and think, gee,on i wonder how this happened and they're not going tooot believe that putin did it.at pud i think they'll blame the whole . k,cratic party which brings us to your book defeating big government socialism out in just a couple if weeks. i mean, that really captures the moment that we're in because that's the ideologicalat battle that we're now going through as a country, isn't it?ough a >>s sure. k >> and i think president trump's election set fire bells off among everybody on the hard left because he was a real change agent. he was moving us back towards yoe america that works. . you were pointing outu wer the numbers a while ago. they're astounding the things he achieved in four yearstsli despite the elite media, despite the fbi, despite the whole bureaucracy fighting them, he nonetheless achieved amazingac things and the country was in pretty good shape just before covid hit. in and i think if trump were stille in charge, a country be back in very good shape right now so we know how to solve thesehe problems. and i think what i try to point out in defeating big governmentt socialism, this is a moment nott just to talk abouto the incompetence of a handful of leaders. this iss a moment to recognize that the very core values they believe in do not work, that this is a valueshi and philosophys problem and that those folks have got to be defeated decisively and get america back on the right track creating jobs, stable money, controlling the border, controlling criminals, you know, doing something bold like favoringso the innocent victim over the criminal. i mean, that seems like common sense unless of course you're on the left and you have some really weird idea about how the world works. okay, well said. they could probably use a lesson or maybe take a page 1994. i was there that night when you did become speaker.and it may i was the emcee and it may be time for putting the signaturere to paperth and promise what you will do if given the opportunity to serve the american people. rward to mr speaker, we look forward to having the first interview with the bookhe being back here thank you for being with us. now a reminder of presidentt. trump will join us in just a moment. but first we turn to yet another preventable crisis made worse by the biden administration as we speak,de the southern border continues continues to spiral out of control. only get it will only get worse whenn the biden administration now lists what we'vethtrat talking t title forty two , which wouldwh make it harder forr fo the fedel government to deport illegal immigrants to get a true sense of the crisis. look at take a look at this very powerful exchange from congressmanrful roy of texas o and jerry nadler of new york .f >> take a look. my colleague from texas, markoc the focus by some of my colleagues on the need to have fortitude as if it's not causing rampant flow across our border. little girls put in stash houses getting, cartels making hundred million dollars and then the chairman scoffsse the chairman scoffs as the chairmanma then in the last yeah to the border of texas and metnt with border patrol agentss,, goe down and talked to the people that are sitting there looking at what's actually happening in denaturalizest you'll briefly. yes. and what if you find no stash houses? the chairman scoff, the chairman saying there are no stash houses, no little girls getting in texas. in tex wow. anyway, governor greg abbottki making good on his promise earlier in the week to send illegal immigrants to washington, d.c.ts the first bu, as you can see right there, arrived in capitol hill early today.y. >> jen psaki couldn'tt care less. take a listen tojetaisten to tht batch of migrants arrived in d.c. today. texas texas governor greg abbott making good on his promise to send migrants to the president's doorstep. previously called ita a publicity stunt. but still the view of the white . how can you give us any reaction to flood of migrants right here in the states? well, these are all migrants who've been processed by cbpre and are free to travel. so it's nice the state of texas is helping themas get to their final destination as they await in their outcome ofof their immigration proceedings. >> and tonight, governor ronda santos of floridao is warning illegal immigrants do not go to the state of florida, telling them that life will not be easy for them in the sunshine state . he promised to send illegal immigrants to delaware. it was t delaware. more florida senator marco rubio. senator , they're not only joe biden's policies and not only aiding and abetting the lawbreaking, enforcing b the law, but they're alsoo involved in human trafficking because they're literally transporting illegal immigrants intoitng i every state aroundd the country and then just leaving them there and then it t becomes the responsibility of the state to provide food, waterrpr, shelter, medical treatment, health careea and educationlt. and most states can't afford it, senator . that's right. look, i think that what's happening here that's a tip of the iceberg power stuff that you're seeing now is the tip of the iceberg. as an example in florida, you know, there's this pelosi puppet, this congresswoman val demings that chuck schumer handpicked c to run against met and she's in favor of open completely open borders of allowing illegal immigrants toen vote if not deporting people, even ey their gang members. she's raised 30 something million dollars for her campaign as a result of these stances. this is i think the speaker gingrich is on just a moment ago and he talked about how about this is about values a is about principles and they're wacky. these are radical ideas . and what you're seeingt the images you're seeing are just the tip of the iceberg of what the kind of agenda these people want to follow. no country in the world would allow the lawlessness that we have with our immigration system. none. >> you know, we just talkedwi with newt gingrich about the border disaster, the afghan war with afghanistan withdrawal disaster, the lack of urgency in ukraine, the economy, 40 year high inflation, wholesale prices, a new record 40 year record of inflation energy now double what it was under donald trump whenhe joe biden inherited energy independence crime outd of control by defunde dismantle the police and joe biden even ran out of covert tests aroundrd christmas going into the third i don't know how you can do any worse than i don't know how you can do any worse than that . you really can. >> if you look at and i think if you look at every major issue in front of this country, everything is when than it wasas joe biden took over . everything is worse than it was. and frankly,y,t that's why i ned people's help. i'm asking them to go to marco rubio .com because i'm being tm outraged because this movement from the left, they know they can't win the electiond -- iss
