SEAN HANNITY (HOST): So the New York Times and others are suggesting, and what was the other -- Rolling Stone magazine saying, "Hannity was quoting Putin's spokesperson who said that Joe is cognitively weak." I'm like, I say it every day of the week.
LYNDA MCLAUGHLIN (PRODUCER): And for a long time.
HANNITY: And my point -- my point, I've said it before before the election. And not only that, I can play example after example that corroborates what I'm saying is true. My point was our enemies see it. There's a reason -- now, why was Crimea annexed under Biden, Obama? And why did the caliphate grow under Biden, Obama, but not under Trump? Why is it now that Ukraine is invaded again under Biden? There are reasons for it.
And the main reason is they perceive Joe as weak. That might be their talking point, but if they got it, they stole it from me. Because I've been making the case that having a weak American president is not good for this country and it's not good for the world.
I wrote a book about it, "Live Free or Die: America and the world on the brink." Now it's the "on the brink" part economically, and on national security issues.
So, you know, I find it amazing, "Well, Hannity said that they recognize what Hannity recognizes," that was my point.
