0 something is to to bid too stupid tocontinue, it can g. have a great evening with the ones you love and we continue to follow the joy reid story. who hacked her blog? our investigator still on it. we'll report on it when we find out. see you tomorrow. >> sean: and welcome to "hannity." we begin with more bad news for joe and zero experience hunter and the biden family syndicate as a federal investigation picked up steam. the great one mark levine will join us with new details and an explanation. a new wrinkle in the will smith saga. the l.a.p.d. was there at the academy awards reportedly ready and willing to arrest smith if chris rock pressed charges. chris did not. lawrence jones went to the chris rock show last night in boston and he hit the streets to find out what americans think about the slap heard around the world. here's a preview. >> what did you think about it? >> we went to chris rock. he was hysterical. didn't get into the whole thing with will smith. >> eyes a little disappointed he didn't bring the whole will smith scenario. >> tucker: >> sean: l.j. would join us for more. seven months away from the midterm elections. the biden white house in one crisis after another and today, just set another 40 year high. this impacts every single american, every american household. a whopping 6.4% increase and according to "bloomberg news," the average american family now can expect to spend $5,200 more this year or $433 more each month on the exact same items they bought one year ago. already one out of every five workers in this country is now running out of money before payday. that number is expected to get much worse and in biden's economy, it's especially worse and burdensome, for the poor and the middle class in this country. at the core of these economic woes, record high after record high gas prices. tonight, the american people just know who to blame. they said, yeah, it's joe biden. his policies are the number one cause for the increase in fuel costs which means it's more to heat and cool our homes and we pay in every store we go to. this poll conducted by quinnipiac. here's a news flash ahead of the midterms. american people, guess what? they've figured it out. new green deal, socialism is not going to work ever. on the campaign trail, your candidate joe biden vowing to end fossil fuels. this was the predicable result. during his very first week in office, he banned the drilling and an wire. we have vast resources. he banned new exploration, he killed the keystone xl pipeline. alberta said if they finished it it would be done by now. we have 900,000 barrels of oil a day in canada. this administration pausing all new leases on oil and gas because of climate change. u.s. gas prices pretty willie are higher than ever. in fact, costs have been rising every single month since joe biden took office. joe biden, the new green deal radical socialism caused it. according to him, vladimir putin and covid-19 are to blame for his woes. if it's a covid, why didn't it happen under trump? take a look. >> the problem with gas prices have two roots. the pandemic. when covid truck, demand for oil plummeted so production slowed down worldwide. because of the strength and speed of our recovery, the demand for oil shot back up much faster than the supply. that's why the cost of gas began to rise last year. the second route is vladimir putin. the start of this year, gas was about $3.30 per gallon. today, it's about averaging for $20, $4.22, as many as $5. the reason because of that is putin's war. >> sean: blame everybody -- no, it's your policies. but economic and energy policies, the causes, biden had trouble opening his eyes, squinting into the light like when he whispers or is says, come on, man. we hold these truths to be self-evident... the thing you know, the thing! god. the creator of everything. anyway... any outline, by the way, solutions for the oil and gas prices down the crisis. a ploy that does little to lower costs and puts our national security at risk and for the next six months, joe will deplete america's strategic reserves by releasing a million barrels of oil per day. that's nothing. this reserve, by the way, is meant for national security emergencies. not for joe's political advantage going into a mid turn and rising gas prices either. it's only a short-term band-aid that will do nothing to significantly reduce costs. doesn't get to the underlying problem, the root cost, and it conveniently expires on election day. moments ago, our very own chad pergram caught up with the spiritual leader of the democratic party's climate alarmist religious cult. that of course is the author of the new green deal socialism, that's congresswoman though because io congresswomanocasio-cortez. >> element let's take a look. >> to release some of the pressure on pricing, a lot of these fossil fuel and oil and gas companies also need to do their part. we need to understand that sometimes it's about taking a smaller profit margin if we are going to be really engaged in all of this together. >> could it be refilled after they drained this portion of the swamp? >> i think we need to take a look at the proportion of what is being used. but ultimately we really do need to be investing in renewables. >> sean: here we go. which brings us to biden's solution, lower gas prices for he wants congress to slap oil and gas companies with fines if they don't drill on already approved federal leases. we already told you all about this. a terrible clan. we'll give you two good reasons why. any fine, that i get passed on to you, the consumer, which means that gas prices will even go higher. and two, oil leases are provided pre preexploration. many of these leases do not have oil and gas that can be extracted. that's why they are not using them. if you think that's bad, biden's next solution, that's even worse. take a listen. >> we in the whole world need to reduce our dependence together. long-term security over energy and climate vulnerability. we need to double down on our commitment to clean energy and tackling the climate crisis. under my plan, which is to congress now, we can take advantage of the next generation of electric vehicles. a typical driver will save about $80 per month from not having to pay gas at the pump. if your home is powered by safer, cheaper cleaner alec les, electricity can make could say $500 a month on average. >> sean: what's up? you can save $80 a month? if you go out and buy a $60,000 electric car and, guess what, in 62 years you could recoup your investment. according to speaker nancy pelosi, it's a small price to pay while the green new deal, religious climate cold war years in her party are out to save the planet. take a look. >> we cannot allow the fossil fuel industry to reverse everything we are doing to save the planet. one of the things that i think the president may say, i don't have this as a fact, is that we will use a defense production to speed up diversification so that we are not so dependent on oil. >> sean: under their cognitive train wreck. when you think that democrats can't get any more out of touch with all of this or any more and napped, think again. vice president kamala harris giving a speech. you have to listen to every word to really get this. pay close attention. speaker as it has been in united states for jamaica, one of the issues presented is an issue that's economic in the way that it's impacted has been the pandemic. we are announcing today also that we will assist jamaica in covid recovery assisting in terms of the efforts in jamaica that have been essential to what i believe is necessary to strengthen not only the issue of public health but also the economy. >> sean: i need an interpreter. the midterms are fast approaching. there are no lifelines for this democratic radical new green deal socialist party. the economy is poised to sadly to get worse. high gas prices, sadly they are not going away. war in europe is raging. sadly it doesn't seem to be coming to an end soon. our southern border, take a look. now bracing for another massive surge. and violent crime is spiking out of control thanks to democrats and their defund this mantle, no police, no bail insanity. visibly incompetent at multiple new polls have biden at all-time lows and according to msdnc's chucky todd, the democrats are in for a full shellacking. rare quote, "as usual idiot," got it right for once. >> what's really striking is the third straight pole where the country has been above 30%. only one other time we've had that in our poll, it's not a good time. forget it, 65% wrong track is a bad number. that's why it's in the shellacking category. you've got three numbers here that all point into dangerous territory for the democrats in the incumbent party. the wrong track over 70% and republicans leading in the generic battle. not a good time. >> none of these hosts like -- are democrats maintain power, your lives are only going to get worse. with a reaction from a former massachusetts senator scott brown along with the cohost of "outnumbered" kayleigh mcenany. what i see here is transitory inflation that they are trying to blame on putin happened long -- i do not see a near-term solution and i do not see them adopting a long-term solution. >> the proposals are released from the strategic reserve. we use about 20 million barrels a day of oil to put out 1 million -- excuse me, 1 billion barrels per day. it's really just putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. i love the imaginations that they go through. you know, oil and gas, it's bad for the climate, bad for the environment. but wait a minute, venezuela, iran, will you produce more oil? wait a minute, it's covid depositors fault. it's president covid of foster's fault. i came back from new zealand for a dollar per gas, i paid $4.46 per day, and it's been rising long before they got next year. it's this dog and pony show that you are watching where you have them saying one thing. if they say it long enough, nancy pelosi has got the talking points. the democrats have the talking points. biden, biden, biden -- it's not. it's the inadequacy and the reckless behavior of this administration demonizing our energy producers, putting more and more regulations on them, putting a new green deal in effect that is not good for the country in terms of, yes, we need in all of the above approach, but the thing we are doing right now and drain reserves and not resupply it as a ocs as aoc is indicating? >> sean: running out of tests, monoclonal antibodies on christmas, the time you know you'll have an increase in cases. he screws up the border. now we have a record from a 30-year record in terms of legal immigrants coming into the country unchecked and joe about her or his kids for caged routine was awful in the middle of a pandemic. we give up energy independence that donald trump handed him. we also have a 40 year high with inflation. we have afghanistan, it is asked therapy it was going on in europe is a disaster and we have a president that can barely put two sentences together, that's a problem. >> a stunning level of incompetence. you hit every issue. when i go across the country and speak to various groups, one of the things i would do is look at the quinnipiac poll. i know it's a far left poll. if you believe quinnipiac, andrew gillum would be the governor of florida. that's how far left pole is. before each weekend, i literally have to cross out the number. "speed 26 approval, decline" "inflation approval, decline" "russia." every week, sean, it gets worse and worse. it's an intriguing game the play but it's not intriguing at all because this is our country. i was part of an administration where our economy was soaring, wages were going up for african-americans, for hispanics, for every group. lower income, blue-collar, you name it. we were winning as a country because of president donald trump. this man came in, destroying our country. the only silver lining is that the american people see it. >> sean: your prediction, how big is a midterm election, scott brown? >> i think it's going to be red wave. people who have never run the four who are so fired up and so disgusted and want the check and balance by taking over the house and hopefully the senate and working to the next election cycle but you have to stop what's going on because it's dangerous and it's incompetent. we need to do better. people are watching all around the world and we are not doing a good job. >> sean: kayleigh, prediction? >> republicans take the senate, take the house, we pick up 60 plus seats be the last time that republicans had a 17-point advantage in the enthusiasm gap, 17 points, i say 60 plus and we take the senate. >> sean: thank you both. here now with more on biden, the war on ukraine, vladimir putin, south carolina senator lindsey graham. let's start with the economy. senator, can't get any worse than this. the party that says they have a monopoly on compassion, the poor, the middle class in his country, they've decimated the middle-class. bloomberg bloomberg reports that what you paid for, all of your good and services last year is now $5,200 more this year. what can the republicans do, if anything, unless they take back the house and senate to stop this? >> sean: inflation is the biggest threat for the working class. what can republicans do? democrats finishing the law when it comes to legal immigration, change policy, go back to the trump policy, make democrats vote on energy independence. if we had the house and the senate, we need an american first agenda and drive boats, have debates and votes about policy changes that would secure our border, grow our economy, reduce our reliance on foreign oil. that's what we need to do them a go on the offense if we get the house and the senate with an agenda that makes sense. >> sean: we have mass graves, men, women, and children dead in the street with their luggage trying to escape ukraine. mariupol a city wiped off the map by vladimir putin. they say that he's pulling back from the kyiv but he's bombing worse than ever. they are are two things that need to be done. at the nato summit, joe biden have a disaster. he had to be corrected by his own team over and over again. all they had to do is two things, on the ukrainians. they'll fight themselves. no ukrainian boots on the ground. and two, they've got western european and nato countries of foster's oil and gas and they set up a task force? how about they come up with a solution, not a task force. >> hats off to you and your team for bringing this war home to the american people so we can see the bravery of the ukrainian people. i was told that as a member of the senate that this war would be over in four days but that's how badly our intelligence community and the biden administration have missed this. five weeks in the war, putin's hold is cracking and the russian army is breaking. why is that? the ukrainian people fought like tigers. the bad news is five weeks into the war, they still did not have jets they need to take the fight to putin and they are now requesting tanks and the biden administration is saying no. one thing i'll tell you on the show, president zelenskyy has asked western powers, france, great britain, the united states, to guarantee the sovereignty of ukraine when this war comes to an end and putin is losing control. if we have a peace agreement, asking us coming night states, great britain, france, to give security guarantees like we have with japan and australia. i think we should do that. i think we should do that. >> sean: we cannot allow putin 1 inch of land -- >> aman. >> sean: we cannot allow ukraine to unilaterally disarm. with many local democrats obsessed with vilifying unfairly florida governor ron desantis and the new law that bans teachers from having inappropriate agenda theory with kids from pre-k through third grade. four, five, six, seven, eight. texas democrat beto bozo o'rourke wearing a teacher that says, "don't mess with trans kids." the disney corporation and their woke employees and leaders have been, well, absolutely out of their minds over this new law. recently staged a walkout and disney is now abandoning gender terms like "boy and girl. ladies and gentlemen, boys & girls club -- can't say that anymore removing special privileges that they get from the sunshine state because of their woke political theatrics. take a look. >> i think what has happened is there is a lot of these special privileges that are not justifiable. because disney has held so much sway, they were able to sustain a lot of special treatment over the years. the states should be governed by the best interests of the people. you should not have one organization that is able to dictate policy and all these different realms. they have not done that for many, many years. if that stops now, which it should come of that to be a good thing for florida. >> sean: here with reaction, brand new fox nation jupiter caitlyn jenner. one thing you said to me when i've heard -- and you and i go back decades. i do this stuff on reality tv, i had fun doing it and all your contribution in athletics, i'm over that part of my life. this country is in deep trouble. that's where your focus is. explain. >> that certainly is. one of the reasons i ran for governor. we have to stand up, america has to have a stand-up mentality. yes, i have done a lot in my life. going all the way back to the olympics, i've had a lot of talks with you, sean, other people at fox when we were negotiating this deal, as you know i am trans. but i'm not a trans activist. that is just one part of my life. there is so much more to me. what i think with the midterms coming up, lgbt issues are going to be big issues and i'm looking forward to covering those but there is so much more to me than that. obviously in 1976, i think it was the best olympics of all time. it was our bicentennial. our country was 200 years old. patriotism was at its height. i have been a patriot my whole life. my father fought in world war ii. my mother is 95 -- hi, mom. she's a patriot. i grew up that way appeared i want that to continue. i'm so proud to be the first person to put the american flag up, i want to continue that. >> sean: let me ask you this. you can talk about a variety of subjects. in the case of florida -- first of all, the word gay is not in the bill so it's ridiculous. talking about kids pre-k through third grade. most of our kids can't graduate with a reading level that's proficient. not proficient in math, science, english, you name it. how about we teach that and parents and schools, if you want to have all these woke classes let's do it that way but let's educate our kids the basics first. is that a bad idea? i've got 30 seconds. >> it's... i'm a common sense person and that's what you call common sense. i have ten children, i hope raised ten -- i'm all for parental rights. >> sean: your kids combine may own more than half the country! >> i did a good job. this and that. honestly i was holding my 1-week-old granddaughter, little goldie jenner -- >> sean: i've got to roll. >> what's her life going to be like russian mark >> sean: yeah. >> i want to help change that. >> sean: will help have you back soon. later, president trump speaks out about mark zuckerberg in a new documentary. that's coming out with a preview. straight ahead.
