0 gets to regulate the media. we're going to look into it fort tomorrow night. o itbut in the meantime, we hop you have the best evening with the ones you love. and now a full 15 seconds early is our friend sean hannity. >> i used to give you such a hard time about hitting the post. you shouldn't just slap me, you know, virtually in the head. i deserve. >> thank you for the extra time. thank, tucker. thank you and welcome, hannity. busy night tonight. it is now day six hundred and eighty one of the single most incompetent administration in modern american history. i hope you're happy. in case you're wondering, there is no plan to fix your inflation, no plan to alleviate supply chain issues, no plan to fix the border, no plan to reduce violent crime, no plan to counter china, russia, iran, north korea or any of the other countries that hate us . and while the white house has no plan at all, whatsoever to make our country better or safer, they do have a lot of excuses. you got to give him credit. now, first up tonight, your treasury secretary, janet yellen, she is now blaming inflation on you. you caused that the american people and your bad spending habits. it's all your fault. according to janet, we have just all splurged on too many computer screens and other electronic gadgets. >> take a look. endemically had very special impacts on the economy. >> remember, everybody stop spending on services. they are in their homes for a year or more . they wanted to buy grills and front office furniture. they were working from home. they suddenly started splurging on goods. >> you're splurges, all of you. anyway, gluttonous, splurging, going on anyway. definitely not the trillions of dollars in unfunded government spending or the new restrictions on oil and gas. it is you, the american people. you bought too many computers, according to biden's treasury secretary. she's going to get us out of the inflation mess. good luck. now, of course, this is only the latest dumb excuse for inflation. remember the white house? they also blamed all of this on vladimir putin. they blamed it on covid-19. they blamed it on greedy american corporations, even people that have diabetes. >> they're to blame. take a look. today's inflation report confirm what americans already know. >> putin's price hike is hitting america hard. so this is really the result of, you know, the united states a country is everywhere coming out of historic pandemic. >> if you want to get rid of inflation, the only way to do it is to undo a lot of the trump tax cuts and raise rates. >> no republican is ever going to do that. russia's decision to invade ukraine, multiple successive variants of covid and lockdown's in china, foreign owned shipping companies that raise their prices. >> the price of gasoline is not set by a dial in the oval office. and when an oil company is deciding hour by hour how much to charge you for a gallon of gas, they're not calling the administration to ask what they should do. >> the vast majority of the of the of the economist think that this is going to be a real tough problem to solve. but it's not because of spending next. >> they'll blame bigfoot. who knows? now, instead of fixing the problem, they'd rather make excuse. and we see the same thing at our southern border after two years of record illegal immigration, the white house is just refusing to address the crisis. they don't recognize the crisis . take a look at this exchange between karine jean-pierre and our very own peter doocy. >> take a look at down the border. the possible next speaker said he wants them to go with them. so it's going to so look, he's been there. he's been to the border and since he took office, when did he go to the border? since he took office. the president biden has been taking action to fix our immigration system. and secure our border. >> when is he been there? that's all why joe biden never visited the southern border as your president . take a look at the screen. this is just the latest in a stream of lies from the biden administration. they have lied about pretty much everything under the sun, from amtrak to taxes to federal debt, social security presidency, you name it. they lied about it. but back to the border now for two straight years. record numbers of illegal immigrants have been processed, allowed into the country. with , frankly, special privileges. they don't have vaccine or mandates or, you know, they get a free phone, they get free transportation. we have talked about the millions of millions of people human trafficking, drug trafficking, fentanyl opioids, sex trafficking, it's all at an all time high. karine jean-pierre is laughing about the mere prospect of joe biden taking a trip to the border to seeing how bad it is himself. this administration, frankly, they're worthless. in fact, they don't seem to even have the moral courage to tackle any major issue. and as we speak, we have brave chinese citizens there risking their lives and limb to protest the country's repressive totalitarian regime. joe biden, he can't be bothered to say one little thing, not one voice of solidarity for the people that are risking their lives. >> take a look. investing. look like mccrohan was trying to catch him in case he fell backwards. anyway. in all honesty, how could the president really speak out against china? they made his entire family really wealthy. and god only knows the dirt that the communist chinese are holding on the biden family syndicate. if you think about it, this is the same reason why apple ceo tim cook, he refuses to say a bad word about china. apple makes a massive amount of money because the horrific sweatshops that they have in china, all while pretending to be a very low company. so today on capitol hill, tim cook did want to talk about china. >> take a look at mr. do you support the chinese people's right to protest? do you have any reaction to the factory workers that were beaten and detained for protesting covid lockdown's? do you regret restricting airdrop us that protesters used to evade surveillance from the chinese government? >> do you think it's problematic to do business with the communist chinese party when they suppress human rights? actually , my apple phone talks more than him anyway. keep in mind, the ruling communist party of china doesn't just repress its own people. they also target the u.s. in a variety of very malicious ways. they steal our technology, intellectual property theft, is at an all time high. they spy on american citizens. they harass our troops in the pacific. they threaten our ally taiwan with invasion. they actively interfere in our elections. and democrats care so deeply about election interference right now, according to a brand new report in forbes, china is using its app. tick , tiktok in an attempt to shape our elections this year, quote, tiktok accounts run by the propaganda arm of the chinese government have accumulated millions of followers and tens of millions of views, many of them on videos editorializing about us politics, specif quickly. the chinese state run accounts criticized some candidates, mostly republicans, and favored others, mostly democrats. so far , an election and appearance right there in plain sight. and yet joe biden democrats are doing nothing to curtail ticktock in the u.s.. kristi noem is in south dakota now. in fact, in 2020 one , biden reversed trump's proposed ban. could be , i don't know. once again, joe gives favorable treatment to russia on pipelines. favorable treatment to china is joe biden compromised or does he just appreciate the political support from his good friends and business partners? in the chinese communist party? now, tonight, congressman jim jordan is taking a deep dove into china's malicious activity along with new probes into the biden administration and their efforts to coordinate with big tech to censor conservative voices and purge conservatives from the fbi. now, congressman jim jordan spoke with apple ceo tim cook today apparently might have even talked and spoken. but anyway, on capitol hill, he joins us now with more. >> walk us through what happened today. what do you think? well, a good conversation, but but like you sounded like millions of americans. i still have real concerns about china, communist china and what they're dealing with , with companies not only in america, but all over the world. i mean, you're talking about apple, nike, tiktok of concerns about what their influence on the nba. and frankly, sean, i don't think we should ever forget that in addition to dr. fauci lying to us about the virus, so did the chinese. and that's where this thing started. so we have to have concerns about china in all these areas. so i felt it was a productive conversation, but i am still very nervous about the impact and influence china has in so many areas of our economy and in our culture. i thought we were going to win ourselves away from imports from china and have more production domestically. what happened to that? well, what happened to that is you had fifty one intelligence officers signing a letter saying that this hunter biden story was russian misinformation when it wasn't. and that change, i think anyone can make a credible argument that that altered the outcome of the election. and we no longer have donald trump in the white house because he was doing that. he was pushing back on china for the first time. and now we have joe biden there. and it's with exactly the opposite direction. so that's what happened. that's why this is all connected, because the influence of big media, big tech and big government in impacting our election. i think we said this last week on my colleague said this in a committee a few weeks ago, matt gaetz. he said, when is the fbi going to stay out of elections? let the people decide. in 2016, they spied on trump's campaign. 2018, it was the mueller investigation. 2020. they suppressed biden's story. twenty , twenty to ninety one days before the midterm election, they raid his home. and now just two weeks ago, three days after he announces for the twenty twenty four race, they name a special counsel and it's not just anybody. it's jack smith and the record that he has of weaponizes the government to go after the people. so all this is connected and this is why it's so important. we're aggressive and go after it and make sure the country gets the facts. >> so elon musk is going to show how the forum twitter suppressed information and how it influenced our elections. okay, what do you think we're going to find out there and how does that dovetail into your investigation? if our fbi has been politicized and doj weaponizes? >> well, we know twitter did the same thing that it was it was pushing down, throttling back information about the hunter biden story. but it probably did a lot more . it probably went after conservatives and things they were saying and made sure that those comments, that information didn't get to the country and the citizens of this great country. so we assume that's what he's going to show. but we also know just the overall bias there. he's i mean, what was said a couple of days ago, it was the stay woke t-shirts and things that he had that that twitter had there. so elon musk is doing a service to the first amendment, doing a service to the constitution, doing a service to the country. and i think, frankly, the world in that he is bringing this all to light. do you believe, based on what you know now, that you have enough whistleblowers that will confirm to the american people that the fbi plays favorites, that we have a dual justice system, that it has been politicized and will there be any consequences for those people that are playing politics? with what really should be the world's premier law enforcement agency? >> i do think it's political . i think the evidence is there. we've had, as you know, multiple whistle blowers, dozens of whistleblowers come to us. and senator grassley, they're willing to do that. because i think they trust us and they know how bad it is . we're going to get the facts out there. that's all we can do. but that's the first step. you have to expose it if you're going to stop it. >> we're committed to doing that. all right, jim jordan, thank you. and we'll be looking forward to the hearings come the new year. we appreciate you being with us. now with reaction, we have former senior adviser to president steven miller, along with fox news contributor ari fleischer. ari, i'll start with you. let's get your reaction to china in general and the connection the bidens in terms of all the money that they made just to remind people they have that five million dollar, no interest, forgivable loan. i wish i could get those terms myself. they have the hundred thousand dollar shopping spree and at one point five billion dollar deal with the bank of china. that's a lot of money for the biden family. and is joe compromised? and is their information on the laptop that the fbi's been sitting on that it proves such hunter is implicating his father because it appears there is . and you left out the free ride on air force two that was taken by then vice president biden's son to go do business in china. and get dropped off and seen in the company of the vice president . we don't know all the facts, sean, but it sure does look bad. and this is why is so important to get to the bottom of this. i've always made the case republicans need to stop saying the name hunter biden. they should never say it again. >> frankly, the only issue here is joe biden. >> did joe biden lie to the american people about not knowing about his son's business deals or did he know about his son's business deals? because that is what we know from text, emails and photos that were found on a laptop. >> this is the issue. it's joe biden's behavior and honesty and whether he has ties to china or other places around the world. this is the only issue. and thank goodness we have investigators like jim jordan who are focused on this and that we can learn the truth because the media suppressed the story. you know, steven miller, ari, is echoing the comments of congressman james comey, who is going to be looking hunter biden and joe biden issue. and he said, to be clear , this will be an investigation into the president of the united states . >> he didn't say hunter. he said joe . >> that's exactly right. this is about determining to what extent illicit and corrupt foreign cash, including from our adversary, china, has subsidized and supported the lifestyle of joe biden. compromising him as a fundamental matter of national security. this is the most important investigation that is going to be conducted by the new republican congress. and i salute kevin mccarthy for making clear that he will support james comey and jim jordan with every subpoena they want to issue with , every investigation they want to launch and with every contempt citation or criminal referral they want to make that the new republican congress is going to get to the bottom of this and expose joe biden's corruption once and for all. all right. all right. let's go back to what you said at first, and that is joe biden repeatedly said that he never had any discussion with his son , hunter, about foreign business dealings. >> now we have photograph after photograph after photograph of hunter and joe and his foreign business partners. now, we've chronicled and identified at least 14 meetings where it was hunter and joe and his former business partner. we have hunter on his own laptop implicate hating his own father in terms of getting money, saying, i have to give half my income to pops. talking about the big guy. we know what totally alinsky said about that. add to that. oh, i have to pay for the repairs of my dad's home, et cetera, et cetera. it sounds like joe benefited from hunter's business dealings and took part in it. and i've never seen an issue in my entire time in public life where so many arrows are pointing in the same direction and the press doesn't see the arrows. they don't want to see it. they don't want to cover the story. and that's shocking to me because honesty is honesty and no one cares about the conduct of the behavior of a president's son or daughter. >> it doesn't matter. they do care about the behavior and the honesty and the morality of the president. and there are some many questions that need to be run to ground. now, my advice to the republicans in congress is do this in a serious fashion, do it in a substantive fashion, make sure you have the goods. don't scream the conclusion until you know the conclusion. but you do need to follow those arrows because they are legitimate questions about joe biden's honesty that need to be dug into. >> you know, i would argue that they have to do all these investigations on the one hand . but on the other side, steven miller, i think they got to lay out an agenda that will fix the economy, make us energy independence, secure the borders, all the things we talk about every day as well. they can't be seen just as an opposition investigative party. >> they have to do both. they have to launch vigorous investigations, hold this administration accountable, hold big tech accountable. and at the same time, they have to lay out a clear vision, which i'm confident they will, on how to secure the border and stop illegal immigration and how to break up monopolies. that threaten free speech and how to reopen and restore american energy on how to drive down inflation and how to end the brutal crime crisis. plaguing our cities and how to lift up the working men and women of this country. into another era of prosperity like donald trump created for the four years of his presidency. i believe they will do that and they have to do that. all right. >> well, thank you, ari fleischer. thank you, stephen miller. and coming up, we are only five days away from georgia's crucial senate runoff. herschel walker, lindsey graham are live in georgia with a crowd and a 10 month old baby overdosing on fentanyl while playing in san francisco in a park. we have the latest. also, he's fired up the great one , mark levin. he'll tell you all about the new minority leader, hakeem jeffries. that's straight ahead. >> i'm a mom of two during the pandemic and my pregnancy technology and telemedicine were vital to keeping connected with our doctors. and now we rely on the internet to order the things my family needs. i wish congress would focus on bringing down the cost of gas and groceries instead of going after the tech innovators that support our economy. undermining american technology could hurt families like mine.el congress should fight inflation and leave our technology alone. these bills are crazy. can se shlle has no idea she's sitting on a gold mine. she doesn't know of it t if shel a life insurance policy of one hundred thousand dollars or more . she can all or part of a country for cash, even a term policy, even term policy, even find out if you're sitting on a gold mine called cap and trade. iraq today at eight hundred four nine six. >> i'd do
