SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Democrats now are trying to claim that while Donald Trump owned a hotel in Washington, D.C. and people from countries like China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, whatever, that they actually went to the hotel. And they say, "See! Donald Trump got paid by foreign governments and it's against the Emoluments Clause." The only problem is there's a big difference, isn't there, between Joe Biden going against Obama administration policy after taking a call from Hunter and two Burisma executives that desperately needed D.C. help because they wanted the investigator in Ukraine, Viktor Shokin, fired. It's kind of a big difference that he leveraged a billion dollars and as a result of his official actions, Hunter continued to get paid for sitting on that board with no experience at a time when he was addicted to pretty hard drugs. Any comparison in your mind?
JEANINE PIRRO (CONTRIBUTOR): There's absolutely no comparison. Donald Trump wasn't involved in the business once he became president. The bottom line is he had properties. He was entitled to have someone else monitor those properties and make money from those properties. Okay? Now let's talk about Hunter Biden.
