>> Sean: WE START THE FOX NEWS
ALERT, WELCOME TO "HANNITY."
TONIGHT WE ARE AT THE BETTER END
OF WHAT WAS A ANOTHER HORRIFIC
TERRIBLE WEEK FOR THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, BUT IT IS FRIDAY
COME AS YOU KNOW WHAT THAT
MEANS?
JOE BIDEN IS NOW KICKING BACK
FOR ANOTHER RESTFUL WEEKEND OF
ICE CREAM AWAY FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE.
MEANWHILE OUR COUNTRY IS FALLING
APART, TREASURY SECRETARY NOW
PREDICTING UNCOMFORTABLY HIGH
INFLATION FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER
YEAR.
WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS.
>> I THINK THERE’S A LOT OF
UNCERTAINTY THAT IS RELATED TO
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH RUSSIA AND UKRAINE.
AND I DO THINK THAT IT IS
EXACERBATING INFLATION.
I DON’T WANT TO MAKE A
PREDICTION EXACTLY AS TO WHAT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE
SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR.
WE ARE LIKELY TO SEE ANOTHER
YEAR IN WHICH 12 MONTH INFLATION
NUMBERS REMAIN VERY
UNCOMFORTABLY HIGH.
>> SO MUCH FOR TRANSITORY.
ACCORDING TO
"THE WALL STREET JOURNAL,"
INFLATION IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST
CONCERN FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT TO NEARLY
60% OF AMERICANS ARE UNHAPPY
WITH BIDEN’S PERFORMANCE.
NO SURPRISE TO EVERYONE EXCEPT
OUR COGNITIVELY IMPAIRED
COMMANDER IN CHIEF WHO SEEMS TO
BELIEVE THAT HIS ANTI-ENERGY
POLICIES HAVE HAD NOTHING TO TO
WITH RISING ENERGY COSTS, RISING
INFLATION, HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH GOVERNMENT SPENDING,
NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS ENERGY
AND ECONOMIC POLICIES.
YOU DECIDE.
>> BIDEN -- HE SAID HE’S GOING
TO STOP THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE.
AND I DID.
NOT AS THE REASON PRICES WENT
UP.
FOLKS, LET’S GET SOMETHING
STRAIGHT HERE.
THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE WAS TWO
YEARS AWAY.
IT HAD BEEN 2% FINISHED.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
>> I’M SICK OF THIS STUFF.
WE HAD TO TALK ABOUT IT, BECAUSE
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THINK THE
REASON INFLATION MEN -- IT’S
SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
>> Sean: SIMPLY IS TRUE.
UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY THAT DUMB,
JOE.
YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY, REALLY
DUMB TO BELIEVE THAT.
JOE BIDEN IS NOW, I BLAME ALL OF
MY FAILURES ON VLADIMIR PUTIN.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO FLY.
GAS PRICES, AS EVERY AMERICAN
KNOWS, ALREADY WAY UP BEFORE
PUTIN INVADED UKRAINE.
INFLATION WAS ALREADY HAD A 40
YEAR HIGH BEFORE VLADIMIR
INVADED UKRAINE.
BY THE WAY, THE OIL AND GAS
MARKET -- THAT IS A FUTURES
MARKET, JOE.
I KNOW THAT’S PROBABLY A LITTLE
TOO COMPLICATED FOR YOU TO
UNDERSTAND, ESPECIALLY IN YOUR
COGNITIVE STATE AT THIS POINT IN
YOUR LIFE, BUT ACCORDING TO
ALBERTA’S PREMIER, THAT
KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE THAT YOU
PUT THE ACTS TOO?
IT WOULD’VE BEEN COMPLETED BY
TODAY AND CANADA WOULD BE
SENDING US 900,000 BARRELS OF
OIL A DAY.
WE CAN GET IT DONE IN EIGHT
MONTHS AND WE WON’T HAVE TO BE
IMPORTING OIL FROM RUSSIA AND
BANGING SOME OF THE MOST
UNSAVORY CHARACTERS IN THE
WORLD.
CANADA IS NOW TELLING US THAT
THEY CAN GIVE US AN EXTRA
400,000 BARRELS OF OIL A DAY
STARTING IMMEDIATELY.
THAT MEANS YOU CAN STOP BEGGING
OPEC LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN, STOP
DEALING WITH THE CORRUPT EVIL,
STOP -- BECAUSE IT’S
HUMILIATING.
AND IT IS EMBARRASSING.
I WOULD RATHER GET IT FROM
LITTLE JUSTIN IN CANADA. AT LEAST THEY ARE IN ALLIED
AT LEAST THEY ARE IN ALLIED
COUNTRY AND NOT RUN BY A
MURDERING DICTATOR.
THEY WANT TO BE A LITTLE
DICTATOR IN JUSTIN.
DEMOCRATS ARE OPTING FOR CATCHY
SLOGANS INSTEAD.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THIS
WEEK THAT YOUR GAS PRICES HAVE
GONE UP YET I WANT TO TALK TO
YOU LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY.
A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH
VLADIMIR PUTIN.
>> WE NEED TO BE HONEST WITH THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THE BATTLE FOR FREEDOM HAS ITS
COSTS HERE AT HOME AS WELL.
PEOPLE ALREADY FEELING PUTIN’S
PRICE HIKES AT THE PUMP THE
PUMP.
TO SPEAK OF THE LARGER PUTIN
PUTIN’S -- THAT IS REALLY --
PUTIN GAS HIKE.
THAT IS HIS GAS HIKE.
SO MUCH OF THIS INCREASE IN THE
GAS TAX -- GAS PRICES STARTED
THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO WHAT
HAPPENED THERE.
>> Sean: NO, IT IS BIDEN’S OIL
TAX.
END IS HIS 40 YEAR HIGH OF
INFLATION LONG BEFORE VLADIMIR
INVADED UKRAINE.
DEMOCRATS OUT THERE WITH THEIR
LITTLE TALKING POINTS, THE
LITTLE SLOGAN, THE LITTLE
BUMPER STICKER.
ALL THEIR LINE WON’T WORK, BUT
THAT WOULDN’T STOP THEM
JOE BIDEN SAYING THAT HE WOULD
"TAKE ANY STEP WEEKEND TO
MINIMIZE HIS PRICE HIKE HERE AT
HOME."
IT IS ACTUALLY THE BIDEN PRICE
HIKE.
IT’S KIND OF A WEIRD THING TO
SAY SENSE HE WANT TO RESTART THE
KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE.
HE WANT ALLOW DRILLING.
HE WON’T EVEN UNFREEZE NEW
EXPLORATION PERMITS.
AND HE’S LECTURING CONSTANTLY
THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY THAT
ARE DOING THEIR VERY BEST.
AS A MATTER FACT, WE CAN’T FIND
A SINGLE THING THAT BIDEN IS
WILLING TO DO BACK HERE AT HOME
THE LOWER PRICES.
HE WOULD RATHER BEG THE WORLDS
DICTATORS.
NOW HE IS WILLING TO BEG EVERY
DUST BUT IN THE WORLD WHO HATES
THE UNITED STATES.
HE WANTS THEM TO INCREASE ENERGY
PRODUCTION IN THEIR COUNTRIES.
HOW IS THAT ANY DIFFERENT IN
TERMS OF HOW IT IMPACTS THE
ENVIRONMENT?
INTERESTING QUESTION.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT’S NOT GOING
WELL.
GAS PRICES, INFLATION -- THIS
LONG HAPPEN BEFORE THE INVASION
AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO RISE.
JOE’S ECONOMIC AND ENERGY
POLICIES CAUSED IT.
KAMALA HARRIS WAS ASKED ABOUT
THIS SERIOUS ECONOMIC ISSUE.
SHE HAD NO ANSWER WHATSOEVER.
WATCH WITH YOUR OWN EYES.
>> PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS SAYS THAT
AMERICANS WILL FEEL SOME PAIN,
BUT THERE DOES SEEM TO BE NO
END GAME IN SIGHT.
HOW LONG SHOULD AMERICANS
EXPECT, HOW LONG SHOULD WE BE
BRACING FOR THIS RELEASE SORT OF
HISTORIC INFLATION AND SOME UNPRECEDENTED GAS PRICES?
UNPRECEDENTED GAS PRICES?
>> SURE.
IN TERMS OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT
THE PRESIDENT AND I HAD, THEY
RANGED IN SUBJECT INCLUDING THE
ISSUE.
I WILL LET HIM EXPLAIN IN MORE
DETAIL AS HE WOULD LIKE.
>> Sean: WHO IS WORSE?
IS IT JOE OR KAMALA?
THAT WAS A SIMPLE QUESTION.
FOR THE RECORD, SHE NEVER
MANAGED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.
BETWEEN JOE, KAMALA HARRIS, OUR
COUNTRY IS BEING LED BY UTTER
IDIOTS AT THIS POINT.
AND NOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
ALL PAYING THE PRICE AND OUR
NATIONAL SECURITY IS COMPROMISED
ON TOP OF IT.
JOE’S POLICIES ARE HURTING.
JOE ABANDON ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.
JOE ABANDON AMERICA AS AN
EXPORTER OF ENERGY.
NOW WE ARE AND THEY ARE BY FAR.
PRICES HAVE BEEN RISING SHARPLY
EVER SINCE HE GOT INTO OFFICE,
BUT REMEMBER, ACCORDING TO JOE
AND THE DEMOCRATS, JOE BIDEN HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS
INFLATION THAT HAS BEEN AT A 40
YEAR HIGH FOR MONTHS.
WE GET THE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN NEW SPENDING, THE TRILLIONS
IN HANDOUTS AND ENTITLEMENTS,
WEEK AT THE NEW RESTRICTIONS ON
OIL AND GAS AND RISING GAS
PRICES AND ENERGY PRICES.
ACCORDING TO THE LEFT, THIS IS
ALL VLADIMIR PUTIN’S FAULT
BECAUSE HE INVADED UKRAINE.
19 DAYS AGO.
THIS WEEK OUR VERY OWN
PETER DOOCY AS TO CIRCLE BACK
JEN PSAKI -- IF THE
ADMINISTRATION WAS PLANNING TO
BLAME PUTIN FOR EVERYTHING THAT
GOES ON IN THE U.S. UNTIL THE
MIDTERMS.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> INFLATION GOES UP TODAY, THE
PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT BLAMES THE
PUTIN PRICE HIKE.
ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO START
BLAMING PUTIN FOR EVERYTHING?
UNTIL THE MIDTERMS?
>> WE HAVE SEEN THE PRICE OF GAS
GO UP AT LEAST $0.75 SINCE
PRESIDENT PUTIN LINED UP TROOPS
ON THE BORDER OF UKRAINE.
>> AND LAST MONTH, YOU DIDN’T MENTION THE PUTIN PRICE SPIKE UP
MENTION THE PUTIN PRICE SPIKE UP
