former secretary of state henry kissinger has died. tonight we send our best to him and his family. we'll have more on this as the night goes on. he's led an incredible life. one of service to his country, and played such a pivotal part in the nixon presidency in particular, and we give our thought and prayers to his family but tonight we're tracking other multiple developing stories including this major blow to the climate alarmist cult and biden's terrible trip to colorado. a word about the extremism and the hate now running rampant across the country starting one day after the barbaric hamas terror attack on october 7, there have been hundreds of anti-israeli protests all around our country, so-called demonstrators, we've watched them openly praising the terror group hamas calling for global islamic war against the west, defacing national landmarks and statues. vandalizing our own white house, burning american flags, and they tried to break down the doors at the dnc. this obsessive rioters hate israel, hate america, the jewish people, they hate so much they are now enthusiastically, what, condoning, excusing terrorism, rape, murder, torture, kidnapping, even women and young children, babies, but you don't have is to take my word for it. at an oakland city council meeting a measure to condemn the october 7 terror attack was met with outrage and plenty of praise for hamas. watch for yourself. >> israel murdered their own people on october 7. there haven't been rapes an murders. they keep talking about hamas, hamas, hamas, our government did you not fund hamas. ow government funds israel. our government funds genocide. our government funds killing of babies. >> to hear them complain about hamas violence is like listening to a wife beater complain when his wife finally stands up and fights back. >> calling hamas a terrorist organization is ridiculous, racist, and plays into genoci genogenocidal -- >> i support the right of palestinians to resist occupation including through hamas the armed wing of the unified palestinian resistance. >> resistance to colonialism is not terrorism. who yes, killing innocent people, that's terrorism. killing kids at a concert that's terrorism. kidnapping children, killing children, that's terrorism. the left in this country have become so radicalized and the very same woke morons who believe words are violence, they are now excusing actual rape, actual torture, and murder, and kidnapping. ultimately the city council, they voted unanimously to demand a permanent cease-fire. they want israel to stop fighting back defending their country even though hamas has taken a pledge, an oath, to wipe israel off the map. they are simply defending themselves but the resolution to condemn the hamas terror attack, yes, that failed by a vote of 6-2 in today's left. terrorism, i guess, is okay. so long as it's directed at the jewish people. naturally this includes washed up actress cynthia nixon. apparently she does not believe israel has the right to defend itself and joins a five day hunger strike in support of a cease-fire, she will only participate two out of the five days because she's got other things to do. i hope she gets the attention she's desperately looking for. while cynthia and others, woke losers are looking for recognition many of these pro hamas protestors hate the jewish people, hate israel, the jewish state, the united states, and that should be deeply concerning with anybody that has a heart, conscience and soul. that's very concerning. we'll have more of my monologue coming up. first joining us with reaction, south carolina senator lindsey graham. i watched chuck schumer today and it was good to finally hear him speak out. he spoke out powerfully against anti-semitism. i'm sure a lot of it directed at his own party. where was he when congresswoman tlaib was saying to wipe israel off the map from the river to the sea. why did chuck schumer, stand alone aid bill for israel on the senate floor yesterday and he, i'm told, was leading the effort to stop that aid bill. is that correct, sir? >> that's exactly right. so senator schumer made an eloquent presentation about the rise of anti-semitism and he's right about that. so what happened here is 39 11s for israel occurred on october 7. 1,200 jews were slaughtered in their homes, biggest killing of jews since the holocaust and oakland, california people praising hamas. the democratic party supports the palestinians over the israelis for the first time in polling last year. so this effort by my democratic colleagues to put restrictions on money going to israel to defend themselves is sick and absurd. this call for a cease-fire is nuts. what we would have said to a group that asked us to have a cease-fire after 9/11? we would have told them to go to hell. here's what i say to my democratic colleagues. support israel without conditions. allow them to destroy hamas before it's too late for the jewish state. stand with israel, reject hamas, tell all these crazy people to shut up. the bottom line here is the republican party is with israel. the democratic party is very confused. >> sean: i mean, i really don't understand why washington works this way. i understand -- >> i don't either. >> sean: okay. fair answer. but, you know, i know what chuck wants to do. he wants to tie funding for israel, funding for ukraine with funding for taiwan and maybe he'll give some money to the border. the house won't go along with that. period. i don't see that happening. israel has not gotten any aid money. ukraine has gotten nearly $80 billion of money. we're paying more than europe is paying. it's their continent that's at war. and i think that's been unfair on their part. my question is, why can't we vote on every bill as a stand-alone, on the merits, up or down, and why are these games always played? if he's so concerned about israel, he had an opportunity to help them yesterday, and he passed on that opportunity. >> yes. so we need to bring up an israel stand alone bill, and support israel and be done with it. but i'm not going to give money to foreign countries until we secure our own border. 10 democratic senators wrote a letter opposing efforts to provide border security, opposing policy changes, that would secure our board. governor abbott, if you're watching sean hannity tonight, do we a favor, make it real to those 10 senators and their states what you've been dealing with in texas. instead of sending them all to new york why don't you look at the states in question. rhode island, connecticut, oregon, governor abbott, make it real to these 10 senators what it's like to live with a broken border. send thousands of illegal immigrants to make it real to the politicians who oppose border security. the democratic position has remained in texas. they are okay with texas being overrun. governor abbott sent bus loads of illegal immigrants to these senators so they will understand what it's like to live with a broken border. >> sean: let me ask you, senator, we hear this anti-semitism in the halls of congress. we see it on college universities. >> yes. >> sean: prestigious universities, a lot of them. we see it on the streets of our cities. we're seeing it worldwide all across europe. we're seeing it even in australia. gas the jews, f the jews, did you ever think in our lifetime that we would ever hear those words in light of the history of what happened in nazi germany? that sounds like the 1930s to me and i've never used that analogy very often. i thought it was often misused and overused. i don't think so in this case based on the knowledge we have of the acts they committed that are on videotape. frankly, that i would like to air except i'm sure it would be too harmful for the families unless we pixel out their faces. >> i'm going to call people at fox tomorrow and beg them to put on the air some of the videos so you can see for yourself what happened to the jewish people. you can see that on october 7, 2023, 80 years after warsaw uprising in poland, hamas wants to kill all the jews for religious reasons. the nazis wanted to kill ought of the jews for racial reasons. i never thought i would live to see a holocaust survivor who survived the nazi terror to be killed by hamas in israel. we live in dangerous and sick times. i'm begging fox to air the footage so the american people can see what israel is facing. no conditions on israel aid. to my friends in israel, do what you need to do as long as it takes to defend your country. to the palestinian people, turn on hamas. kick them out. >> sean: lindsey, you know israel well. you've been over there many times. i've been there many times. i've been in the terror tunnels. i know you've been in the terror tunnels. >> yes. >> sean: i've been near the iron dome. i have seen it work. i've been to border towns, 10,000 rockets they got hit with in a 10-year period of time. kids can't play outside. they play in underground bunker playgrounds. i'm thinking, victory to me is this. once and for all, gaza can no longer be a launching pad for rockets into israel. but that also includes in the north. lebanon can no longer be a launching pad either if they want to have real security and peace in the region and security for israel but i'll say this. nobody seems to ever want to talk about the number one state sponsor of terror and that's iran. we now know they trained hamas for this. they supplied them with weaponry for this. they are fighting another proxy war, one of many in the region. they have been fermenting terror and getting away with it for a long period of time. maybe those refineries that joe has allowed them to use more than donald trump d. maybe those refineries need to go. maybe those nuclear facilities, maybe they need to go before they get nuclear weapons. >> we've been on your show a lot talking about this. how do you protect the american troops in syria and iraq? you attack when we're attacked. this biden administration is incredibly weak. nobody respects them and nobody is afraid of them. let me tell my friends in egypt and uab, if you go into brix and join a governor answer made up of iran, russia and china, you'll made an enemy of me. i would like to have a strategic relationship with you but if you join brix, and organization basically controlled by russia, china, and iran, you will be an enemy of the united states. biden has lost all respect and all fear. to the iranians, if you kill one american, in syria and iraq, and i know you're trying to through your proxies i'll do everything i can to make sure you're hit in return. to the republican party, let's stand up for israel without equivocation. let's put pressure on the biden administration to protect our troops. president biden does not have the backs of those serving in syria and iraq. mr. president, president biden, you need to let the iranians know if you keep trying to kill americans we're coming after you. >> sean: all right. senator lindsey graham, appreciate your time. we turn now to colorado. where president joe biden made a rare appearance as usual, as per usual, didn't go well. in fact, the trip started with a very concerning moment during a photo op with workers at a wind tower factory. biden randomly started talking about the nuclear codes, okay? watch this. 6 >> my marine carries that, has a code to blow up the world. this is not nuclear weapons, is it? >> no. >> okay. >> sean: joe biden was not coherent pretty much all day. dazed and con fused even when reading the giant size font on the television. >> the leader -- here in colorado, the wind turbine -- is investing $40 million to expand the factory and hire an additional 1,000 employees. solar manufacture, burger, is building a new solar cell factorydown the road in colorado springs. instead of cutting them, congressman trump wanted to do. we could use help, millionaires, millions of families, instead of millionaires, millions of families of ford, a little help with senior care. >> sean: can someone interpret that for me? congressman trump, what was biden actually trying to say? how on earth is he capable of being president? this is the toughest job in the world and he wants to serve another five years? has he lost his mind? i think it's becoming quite transparent. yes, biden is a cognitive wreck. i know it. you know it. democrats know it. and barring some major trip or fall or emergency health condition it looks like joe is on a path to be the nominee for the democratic party. given biden's condition that means his vice president plays an important role. unfortunately his vice president happens to be kamala harris who polls lower than him and today she couldn't come up with a simple answer to a pretty simple question about tik tok. take a look. >> you don't have a specific view on tik tok itself? >> i'm not commenting on that. >> are you on tik tok yourself? >> i am not. >> but many of the people in my family are. i'll tell you that >> did you tell them to get off? >> you can tell young people in your family all kinds of things. >> sean: we got the giggles. taking tough action against tik tok and backing a bill preventing china and foreign adversaries from buying up u.s. farmland. they have been buying up land near military installations. joining us is south dakota governor christie noem. governor, why the dangers with tik tok? >> oh, my goodness, i can't believe she actually said that she wasn't going to comment on that they literally banned it from federal devices after we took action in. south dakota we banned tik tok. we're the first state to do it. 30 states have done it sings then but the federal government took action and banned it, too, so how can she legitimately sit there and go, i'm not going to comment. they know and acknowledge that it's a national security threat. grow up. and have an opinion. if you're going to be the vice president of the united states, just give us an honest answer for once. that's what's so shocking to me the way biden and kamala think they still have to dance around. the country is desperate for the truth. we have an opinion. we banned it, we don't think it's good. move on. >> sean: you know, one of the things, is it a spy mechanism, governor? is it a spy mechanism? >> yes. yes. >> sean: the answer is yes. >> a thousand percent. >> sean: can you explain something to me. as i look at the people that are coming into this country un unvetted at our southern border, we're finding tens of thousands from russia and china, we're allowing the communist chinese to buy up farmland, ranch land and land near military installations. if i wanted to buy land in china would i be allowed to do that? i tend to doubt it >> no, would you not be allowed to do that. let me be clear, i've lost my filter tonight, if you're using tik tok you're helping china destroy america. you're facilitating it. so get off of tik tok. take a little bit of pause on what you think is fun, and let's start doing the hard work of saving freedom, and it's the same thing with purchasing farmland. we have national security interests in this country that our kid and grandkids will depend on and we have to ensure that people who want to destroy us do not own land right next door to those military installations that control the weapons that will keep us safe. this investment that china has made in purchasing upper assets, our land, is extremely dangerous. it's just the next step in lining up the tools that they need to control us, and they have been very clear about this for generations. they have been very clear that they have a long term agenda to become the dominant super power in the world, and for them to do that, the united states of america cannot exist. >> sean: let me ask you, we just heard about the passing of henry kissinger, a monumental figure on the world stage for such a long period of time. i had numerous opportunities to interview him, meet with him, talk with him, a brilliant man in so many ways. talking about china, he played a huge role in the nixon administration in their efforts to open up discussions with china at that time. making a lot of history doing so. your reaction to his death? >> it's a sad day for us because he was a leader that led through challenging times, and i hope that everyone's reaction to his passing is to go learn a little bit more about him that you didn't know before. around your dinner table or when you're driving in the car with your kids, tell them a few kissinger quotes that were used at strategic times. give them a little bit of history because if we forget what happened in the past we're doomed to repeat it, and many times, throughout history, the united states of america went through dark times, and leaders like kissinger stood up and they took action and they provided leadership when we needed it the most. >> sean: yes. governor, it's great to see you. really appreciate it. by the way, we'll talk more about it coming up in the course of the program tonight. we'll have more information about it. coming up, this is huge tonight. james com mer just revealed that bank investigator warned about hunter biden having very unusual, very erratic activity back in 2018. we have a full report. john solomon, along with the house impeachment managers, all three of them, as we continue, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family of henry kissinger tonight. we're travelling all across america, talking to people about their hearts. how's the heart? i feel like it's good. how do you know? let me show you something. it looks like a credit card, but it is the kardiamobile card. with kardiamobile card, you can take a medical-grade ekg in just 30 seconds, from anywhere. kardiamobile card is proven to detect atrial fibrillation, one of the leading causes of stroke. kardiamobile card is just $79 during our holiday sale, a $20 savings. get it for yourself or a loved one at kardia.com or amazon. hi, i'm ben and i've lost 60 pounds on golo. (guitar music) with other programs i've tried in the past they were unsustainable, just too restrictive. with golo i can enjoy my food and the fear and guilt of eating is gone. >> sean: this is a fox news alert. a staple of global politics for so many decades, henry kissinger tonight, sad news, dead at the age of a hundred. now secretary kissinger worked under multiple administrations. he won the nobel peace prize for negotiating a cease-fire in vietnam. there are so many other accomplishments this man has had. his life, background and experience is really beyond inspiring. he was a jewish refugee. he fled nazi germany with his family in 1938. he arrived in the united states. he excelled academically and earned a phd degree at harvard. someone that so many look up to who accomplished so much but really, you know, became an household name. he served under two republican presidents. one being richard nixon. the other being gerald ford. he advised powerful leaders in both the american political parties for decades. he was advising presidents up until recently. he became to be seen as perhaps one of the most prominent leading diplomats and international relations intellects of the 20th century. and orchestrated the normalization of relations with china. he helped with tensions between the u.s. and soviet union at tough moments during the cold war. he won that nobel peace prize for the settlement that ended the vietnam war. what life he led and he was so instrumental, in the opening diplomatic relations between the u.s. and china. something up to that point not really doable or thinkable during the nixon administration. one of the most -- also, he had his share of enemies and detractors for a lot of reason, most of it having to do with vietnam. join us now with reaction to this sad news tonight is fox news contributor ari fleisher. i've had the pleasure of interviewing him. having just a general conversation with him, and it wasn't that long ago, the last conversation we had, and he was as sharp as he ever was. amazing man, an amazing life, and again, our prayers are with his family tonight. >> it was, sean, for anyone who did get to know him, it really was a pleasure. he was such an interhecht, a force to listen to, his knowledge of history and his ability to sum up conclusions, i got to know him in november 2002. if you remember this, probably very few people do he was actually named to be chairman of the 9/11 commission, and after he was named senator george mitchell was going to be the democrat co-chair of the commission, they both realized hurt if one of them to do it. once he realized what he would have to step down from, he spent a lot of time talking to me about his advice, should he proceed with. this what's going to happen with all of these other endeavors he was in the middle of, i told him the press will kill you. you can't have any. the press will say it's a conflict of interest and it got to him because he wanted to serve, he didn't want the press controversy and i was honored that he thought enough to ask for my advice and listen. >> sean: that was one thing about him. i remember very distinctly, it's interesting you say that, at a particular event, i had an opportunity to speak one-on-one with him. and he started asking me questions. i'm like, i should be asking you questions, because of his incredible background. when you think of, in light of what's going on in the world today, especially the rise of anti-semitism, and he escaped nazi germany, i would have liked to have had that conversation with him about -- i didn't think we would ever see this in our lifetime. i'm sure you think the same way, ari? >> yes, absolutely, sean. i know, i did get to talk to him about things of that nature because after the white house, when i moved back to new york, he and i would go to lunch sometimes, and sitting at a lunch table, just the two of us, i would ask him those kind of questions. i would ask him about his life, i would ask him about coming to america. the opportunities of america. being jewish. and it really was a fascinating conversation for me just to sit there and almost be, not a reporter, but i was the inquisitor asking him things. that's where i just really grew my respect for his intellect. he was already up in his age at that time. i haven't seen him for about 10 years now, but i suspect he was sharp to the end, but what a life story, sean, and he loved the united states. he recognized what opportunity was. >> sean: recently, he was in a wheelchair and it seemed like he had just given a speech, and this is going back maybe a month, a month and a half ago, and some liberal reporter was asking him contentious questions, and like the pro he was, he just ignored it and got in the car and drove off. but you're right. what a life he lived. sometimes maybe we get a little locked into where we are now in this moment and we lose historical perspective but he lived through the vietnam is era. that means the '60's. we know a lot of horrible things happened in this country, a great divide in this country, in the '60s. look at all the people assassinated in the '60's. you think of the hippie movement, you think of the early 1970s, the nixon years, vietnam, this was a divided country back then, too, ari. >> no question about it. 1968 in many ways was the worst year we've had, worse than 2020 with the george floyd riots and covid and everything else that took place. 1968, at the height of nixon and vietnam, et cetera, and, you know, henry kissinger was the wiseman who got the united states through so much of that. as you said, when he opened up relations with china. something that was absolutely unheard of and impossible to do, he did it. and it was a different china back then than it is now but there were just certain things that were impossible in foreign policy and i don't think henry kissinger ever accepted the word "impossible." his life was a possibility. coming to america was a possibility. he saw what the united states represented and relished it. and that's why i think the word "impossible" was never in henry kissinger's vocabulary because of the life he led, and also his mind, this is what i got to know about him, mind that he had didn't see limits. he just saw opportunities in places and in ways other people did not see. they may have seen a dead end or a roadblock, he said i'll get over that. >> sean: yes. china, vietnam, he played such an important role historically at a very divided time in this country's history. appreciate you joining us, thank you. joining us on the phone is bret baier. let's get your initial reaction to this. what a towering figure he was, what an incredible life he led. a hundred years old, and my last conversation with him, he was as sharp as ever. >> bret: sean, he was as sharp as can be even in the end. i mean, there were people who were clambering to get to him. to say, you know, what do you think about this? what do you think about this? he served as national security adviser and secretary of state under president richard nixon, and then under gerald ford, but as you say, he was really a foreign policy guru for administrations, a lot of them, after that i saw him last when he was at charles -- lunch. i came there. charles asked me to a lunch, and i got there, and there was kissinger, and we spent the entire lunch talking about everything around the world. he was an amazing person who understood foreign policy from a lot of different spectrums. a lot of different perspectives, and like charles -- he could cut through the noise. >> sean: you know, it's interesting, we use the term frequently called shuttle diplomacy. he conducted first shuttle diplomacy in his quest for middle east peace. he usede secret channels to pursue ties between the u.s. and china, at that point, ending decades of isolation and nothing but hostility between the two countries. he initiated the paris negotiation that is ultimately provided the means for an interval as he called it to get the u.s. out of vietnam. it was two years later that saigon fell to the communists. he pursued the policy of dent with the former soviet union and raised the possibilities that the tensions of the cold war and the nuclear threat did not have to last forever. at 99 he was out on a book tour on leadership. some of the most sensitive foreign policy negotiations, he was a part of, and frankly, a trail blazer in this. >> bret: and he had that ability to talk in his deep voice that was a baritone voice that cut through the noise, and he would -- there were people who were looking for his advice. up until 99. up until 100. and he was truly amazing to see that he was that strong in foreign policy all these years. you know, i talked to him probably a few months ago, and he still had it. >> sean: you know, bret, i will tell you one funny story. you know i try to do these imit imitations, i don't think they are that great but one time i did my imitation of him to him. i said that to him and he laughed. he had great sense of humor on top of everything else. >> bret: he did. if you could do henry kissinger, if you could do -- you know, i can't do it, sean. >> sean: we talk about foreign policy. that's the way he did it. come on hannity and colmes back in the day. bret, we really appreciate you taking the time. sad news, one of america's diplomats, henry kissinger, died at the age of hahn. while kissinger has passed away, his legacy will live on forever. let's take a look back. >> with his towering intellect, his dazzling shuttle dispapillomacy and obsession with his own image henry kissinger was perhaps the most gifted, reviled and admired diplomat of the 20th century. >> there is no country in the world that a man of my origin coos be standing here next to the president of the united states. >> a refugee from hitler's germany he emigrated to the united states in 1938. after serving in army counterintelligence in world war ii he earned three harvard degrees. kissinger's seminole 1957 book on nuclear strategy earned him consultancies to the kennedy conditioned and johnson white houses. as president nixon's first term national security adviser nixon negotiated to end the vietnam war while the commander-in-chief withdrew u.s. troops and secretly bombed cambodia. another 20,000 u.s. troops and countless vietnamese perished in the four years before he famously declared peace is at hand and received the nobel peace prize. when the bombings were leaked to the press he colluded in white house wiretaps. >> revitalize our alliances, get into a new relationship with the soviets. >> for nixon's historic trip to china in 1972 it was kissinger's overseas flights that behaved the way and their pursuit of dent with the soviet union led to major arms accords. but drew suspicion amongst conservative that is argued that he and nixon should have sought like ronald reagan, to defeat the soviet union. >> in the 1970s i don't remember any conservative talking about defeating the soviet union. to consider some of his economic policies -- communism was ultimately defeated by the policies that nixon started. and the policies that reagan enunciated and reagan could never have done what he did if nixon had not first created the structure. >> throughout his service to nixon kissinger publicly heaped praise on the president in public but ridiculing him in private and ultimately taking a more measured view of his partner in power. >> he lacked the capacity to reach out to people as individuals the way almost all the kennedys did so naturally. >> i shall testify with respect to all matters. >> confirmed as secretary of state in 1973 kissinger's shuttle diplomacy helped to end the yom kippur war. hollywood actresses the drawn to the famous diplomat who called power the ultimate aphrodisiac yet controversy would dog him for decades after he left power in 1977. liberals called him a war criminal claiming he had coddled right wing dictators. his counsel widely sought. he could be critical of u.s. policy. >> our concept of reform, i think what's lacking is a clear definition of what the purpose of our china policy is. >> but kissinger supported president bush's mess could you lar response to 9/11 and the iraq war. >> are we going to sit there and let weapons of mass destruction pile up in a country that's already used it against its neighbors and its own people, against which we fought a war 10 years ago. [applause] >> in 2014 he gathered with five other secretaries of state and to the last he remained active in foreign policy discourse writing a book called "world order," reviewed favorably in the "washington post" by hillary clinton who like all of kissinger's successors drew on his counsel when he served as america's secretary of state. [chanting] >> agitators continued hounding kissinger as at this senate armed services committee hearing in 2015 prompting senator john mccain, a vietnam veteran, to defend the one time architect of u.s. policy there. >> get out of here you low life scum. i would like to apologize for allowing such disgraceful behavior toward a man who served this country with the greatest distinction. >> lifelong student of balance of power politics, acclaimed author, henry kissinger engaged every major foreign policy crisis, and strolled the world stage with authority and charisma matched by new intellectual figures in american history. in washington, fox news. >> sean: joining us on the phone someone who knew dr. kissinger very well, our friend, monica crowley is with us. monica, thank you for being with us. a lot of people may not know about your background but post presidency, you worked for a long time very closely with nixon and kissinger. tell us about the man you knew and the man richard nixon spoke of. >> thank you, sean. first, my deepest sympathies to the kissinger' family. he led a long and substantial life and it's never easy to lose someone and i considered henry kissinger a friend so i'm very saddened by this news. sean, my very first job out of college was with the former president, richard nixon, and during that period of time i got to know a whole array of heads of state around the world and other diplomats and statesmen. and the one, of course that stood out apart from president nixon was dr. kissinger. and, sean, i'll tell you, the very first time i spoke to him, i was, you know, early 20's, and out of college, and i remember sitting with president nixon in his study in his office, and the phone rang and it was dr. kissinger, and over the intercom, nixon's assistant said i have dr. kissinger on the phone for you, so i went to get up to give them some privacy to take the call and he waved me back down to my chair. sean, he said sit. he picked up the phone, and the two of them spoke for a couple of minutes and they often spoke a couple of times a week about the state of the world and what american foreign policy was and what it should be. and at one point, in the conversation, sean, he said, henry, i want you to speak to my new foreign policy assistant, monica crowley. say hello to her and he thrust the phone receiver toward me and i'm 21, 22 years old. and i ended up talking to henry kissinger in front of richard nixon. it was a complete out of body experience. these two men working in the white house and beyond, two powering intellects, sean, who worked together to advance america's interest in the world. what a tremendous partnership. >> sean: i can't say it any better. well said. what a life experience for you, too, monica. our thoughts and prayers go out to his family tonight. when we return, republicans just revealed a bank investigator warned about hunter biden having very unusual erratic activity back in 2018. we'll have the details straight ahead. meet gold bond daily healing. a powerhouse lotion that moisturizes, heals, and smooths dry skin. with 7 moisturizers & 3 vitamins. and... new gold bond healing sensitive. clinically shown to heal & moisturize dry, sensitive skin. gold bond.

>> that's a great question. the bank did what it was supposed to do. they caught it. necessity realized this is a wire into what they said was a company with no known purpose meaning it was a shell company or fake company and they were concerned about the politically exposed person who owned the account was the son of the former vice president of the united states. they knew through press accounts and through his ex-wife's testimony and interviews, that he had a drug problem that he was in financial trouble. so they knew he was compromised. they knew china did this. this is the way china bought influence. this is the way that china compromised politicians. they would send money to compromised family members, big politicians to try to gain influence. when they contacted the bidens about this $5 million wire they said it was a loan. just like joe biden said the checks that we identified he received was a loan. the bank did what i did. they said provide the loan documents. they couldn't do that, sean. they didn't have loan documents. the bank knew that china didn't send hunter biden $5 million as a loan without documentation, and then even further, they said that hunter biden took 58% of that in the form of fees and distributed it to various family members including joe biden. >> sean: let me ask you, jim jordan, this runs right into tandem into your investigation whether the doj has been weaponized and politicized. we know he allowed the statue of limitations to pass. he originally wanted no charges against hunter. we know he was going along with this sweetheart deal that got blown up by a judge in delaware. is this for evidence that biden's doj is weaponized and they are protecting hunter biden? >> yes, it is, and remember, shanks but for the two whiler blowers that came forward, the doj probably would have gotten away with it. god bless the judge saw the deal but it was two who came forward and gave us the facts about how this whole investigation was slow walking in what they did. jaime is right. the most important line in this internal bank document is the line that says china is targeting children of politicians. so this may have been a lot less than a shakedown which john solomon referred to. it may have been that somewhat but it could also be going the other way. china trying to influence because look at what china sees. they most likely knew about joe biden's contact in the energy company and they went over there and leveraged our tax dollars to fire the guy at the qualify oh his son. so that's the scary thing here. china may have known that. china may have saw an easy target or a big target, in taking the action that they did. >> sean: this also dovetails into the ways-and-means committee. if you look at the statute of limitations in one case, amount, the sheer amount of money that's been taken in, the suspicious activity reports, shell corporations, the tens of millions going to what james comer has identified as 10 biden family members, what is your committee seeing in this? >> you know, next week, sean, we're having those two brave whistleblowers come back, before our committee, in fact, they have been giving us additional documentation that's going to help, that will help with this investigation. but one thing that we have to pay close attention to, those checks that chairman comer released that were loan payments to president biden it's quite interesting, if you look at the public tax returns of president biden's, there is no documentation of any interest income that he reported. so if, in fact, those are loans, wouldn't you charge interest? we have a lot of questions before president biden, and the whistleblowers have done an incredible job, sean, by giving us the evidence, the documentation, to show exactly how the justice department has not been following a proper investigation. >> sean: and on top of that, there are a lot of loans. we got into this with congressman comer last night, a lot of loans going around there but that would be something that should be easily traceable and an agreement made, and you're right, interest being paid. gentlemen, i appreciate you staying on with us tonight. in light of the sad tragic news that henry kissinger has passed away. more hannity after the break. ♪ upbeat music ♪ ♪ upbeat music ♪ ♪ upbeat music ♪ ♪ upbeat music ♪ ♪ upbeat music ♪ ♪ upbeat music ♪ >> sean: unfortunately that's all the time we have left this evening. don't forget, tomorrow, always set your dvr so you never miss an episode. 9:00 p.m. eastern i'm the moderator-host of the great red state-blue state debate between florida governor desantis and california governor newsom right here. we'll see you tomorrow. let not your heart be troubled. greg gutfeld is next. he'll put a smil
