HANNITY: And you know what? Three vaccines, the travel ban that the president on ten days after the first identified case of COVID, Jim Jordan, that was all Donald Trump. Regeneron, that's Donald Trump too. That's saving lives now, especially with these breakthrough cases.

How do I know? Because one of my friends fully vaccinated got COVID on Saturday had a Regeneron infusion on Sunday, and he's feeling great. Here it is on Wednesday. That all happened because of Donald Trump.

Joe Biden didn't want the travel ban, didn't push for vaccines. You know, he is giving more rights to illegal immigrants in the hundreds of thousands, now over a million, and draconian measures for American citizens? How does -- how does that happen in this country?

REP. JIM JORDAN (R-OH): No, it's crazy. President Trump provided real leadership. President Trump got real answers. President Trump secured the border.

Sean, think about this -- March was the highest a month on record for illegal crossings until April. April was the highest month on record until May. May was the highest month on record until June.

This is a bad trend. That is going -- it is a crisis situation. If Joe Biden wants to get control of COVID, secure the border. But instead what's he do, he lectures Governor DeSantis. He lectures Governor Abbott.

I mean, that's how out of touch this guy is with what's going on. And frankly, Sean, this is why we're going to crush this. I think we're going to win this thing big, take back the House in the next 16 months.

(CROSSTALK)

HANNITY: Well, if you don't, the country is screwed in a million different ways.

And that raises a lot of questions here, Mark Meadows, in terms of -- okay, I'm not really sure. We keep hearing 57 percent of Americans don't even think Joe's making the decisions.

How do you give more rights to illegal immigrants? How do you not -- if Donald Trump decided, well, I'm only going to enforce this law that I like but not this law that I don't like, how do they get away with that?

MEADOWS: Well, listen, they won't get away with it. You know, you notice I'm without a tie tonight. You know, I'm here in Wyoming. Even in Wyoming - -

(CROSSTALK)

HANNITY: By the way --

MEADOWS: -- they're talking about how --

HANNITY: I would never wear a tie again. I like this look better. I think it's the real -- it's the real Mark Meadows, the North Carolina Mark Meadows.

Well, it is. But even here in Wyoming, they're talking about the fact that that Joe Biden is wanting to put more mandates on our kids going to school, on what we do in the privacy of our home. Now with vaccine passports and yet what we see is that he doesn't have any control over what's happening. When we start to see the misdirection, the direction, the misdirection and back-and-forth, going on from the CDC and from the White House, it's an inconsistent message.

You know, the truth of the matter is Dr. Fauci, when I was in the White House said that all we're going to be able to do is slow this down, that eventually everyone is going to ultimately either have an immunity to it or get it.

And so, now, all of a sudden, we're acting surprised by all of this? You know, I find it just beyond the pale that we are having Joe Biden trying to lecture Governor DeSantis or anyone else.

And Governor DeSantis was right. Don't start lecturing us until you actually start to do your constitutional duty which you're ignoring.

HANNITY: Are these illegal immigrants that that in many cases have COVID? Jim Jordan, are they showing up in your home state of Ohio?

JORDAN: They're showing up all over the country, Sean. I mean, we have a whistleblower come forward and talked about what's happening on the border. They're not detaining the people they should. They're not sending back the people they're supposed to under the law. They're not following COVID protocols.

But, frankly, Sean, that shouldn't surprise us. When have the Democrats in Washington ever done what they're supposed to do? There's always a double standard with these guys. That's why we're going to win.

HANNITY: You know what, we -- I -- we've got to stop this. This is madness.

All right.

JORDAN: It sure is.

MEADOWS: I agree.

HANNITY: Mark, I don't know. I think -- I think the Wyoming Mark works for you. I just -- I don't know, if you get a ranch, just give me a little like you know guest cottage. I'd love to visit.

MEADOWS: Well, I tell you. The state of Wyoming needs to get a new representative in the House of Representatives. It will happen soon.

HANNITY: Oh, you think? Yeah, I love how Liz Cheney -- you know, I love how the people that called her father a war criminal and a murderer and Bush-Cheney lied and people died and claimed that he was corrupt at Halliburton, she's now allied with them. Wow, strange -- strange bedfellows.

All right. Thank you both.
