better. in the meantime, sean hannity takes over 9:00 p.m. right now. >> sean: the cat is a star. all there is 28. >> tucker: it's good! >> sean: tucker, thank you. welcome to "hannity." the second time in as many years, two februarys in a row, democrats conducting a show trial in the u.s. senate to convict andal impeach donald j. trump, who is president in exile according to jimco acosta. the first unthankful charade is pretty terrible, the sequel is even or a spirit will get reaction, donald trump jr. is here, senator ted cruz is here. the president's attorney david had a great day in my opinion. he'll join us for an exclusive interview. i'd likeke to start and lay out the arguments i think i would make if i were there. the u.s. senate kicked off what could be a lengthily

it all means absolutely nothing to him we can stop there as the outcome is already predetermined because we knowe president trump will be acquitted. you need two-thirds of the u.s. senate to convict, 44 senators now have all ready voted twice stop the proceedings because it is unconstitutional for the senate to convict a private citizen. they do not even have jurisdiction on a private citizen. you cannot remove somebody from an office they no longer hold. what we are witnessing on capitol hill is a complete total waste of taxpayer time, your time, your money, your resources. this will solve nothing, so improve nothing. it will not make your life better in any way. it will not unite the country like joe says he wants to do. it will not ease tensions in the country. it will not create a single job. it will not provide necessary covid relief and a more

organized distribution of the donald trump vaccine. in other words, operation warp speed. democratic governors are messing it up in state after state. this charade only serves the democratic party, their own obsessive-compulsive need to impeach donald trump, and avenge the results of 2016. they never got over it. they never will get over it. take a look. >> that could be seen as an impeachable of fence impeachable offense. >> impeachment. impeachment. >> impeachable offense. >> impeachment.. >> grounds for impeachment. >> impeachable. >> impeachable offense. >> we are going to impeach the [bleep] -- >> if that's not impeachable i do not know what is. >> talk of impeachment. >> none of us came to impeach a president but now we've got to do our duty. >> make no mistake, that's the

short version. what's happening in the senate, we will call it sewer swamp theater. it's complete with hysteria, hyperbole and rank hypocrisy.rs the democrats conducted the snap impeachment in the house without taking time to build a case, allow for due process, defense, or even a rudimentary investigation. they are now short on something called "facts." this is why you don't rush to judgment. that's why we have due process. that's why a snap impeachment is so dangerous for this country. they claim the president and cited an insurrection, their new favorite word, because of his insightful remarks insightful remarks on january 6th. according to every major outlet and the fbi and even aoc, the couple breach was predetermined. scheming by violent agitators

while way before the president ever spoke at the rally. days, weeks before. how do i know? the mob in the media even have to admit it. take a look. >> the investigation into the deadly insurrection at the capitol a week ago, new evidence that it was planned. >> new reporting the fbi received a very specific we warg before the riots. >> for some reason security wasn't stepped up to meet the challenge of that attack. >> the fbi admitting it hadti intelligent before the insurrection, people were planning to travel to d.c. withc the intent to cause violence. >> one week before, one week prior to the insurrection, i started to get text messages that i needed to beed careful. and that in particular i needed to be careful about the sixth. >> sean: according to forbes,

the capitol attack was planned openly online for weeks and police, law enforcement, they still were not ready. "the washington post," the fbi report warned of "war at thepi capitol," contradicting claims that there was no indication oft any looming violins. even "the new york times" "new york times," fbi warned of violence before the siege. this is why the capitol policetu chief actually requested the national guard before, during, and after. as a matter of fact, he d made x separate appeals for help, but his pleas for help were rejected every single time. in fact, according to trump chief of staff mark meadows, he was on with our own maria bartiromo over the weekend, the president was very vocal about offering security assistance prior to the sixth and even ordered 10,000 national guard troops to stand ready, but they were never called on, even when the chief of police at the capital was

calling them until, of course, it was too late. the federal government has a duty to figure out exactly what went wrong here, why does capital police were left out to dry, why didn't pelosi have the sergeant of arms prepare, when are we going to discuss her dereliction of duty and failure to protect the capital -- by the way, that's yours capitol, we the people, that's your capitol, those are our elected officials. this transcends any politics in my mind. doesn't matter whoever is elected needs to be protected period end of sentence. that's what i've been saying. we need a 9/11 style commission to investigate and give us a full report and put in changes so this never happens again.in well, not the snap impeachment of a former president. that directly impacts the argument, by the way, that president trump's rally speech if it was planned in advance, na argument could be made that thed

president in any way through his words was responsible for what they had preplanned. unless he was part of the o planning. of course, nobody is making the allegation because that never happened. so now the entire impeachment charade and the chargeshi dead c the water. democrats now are left arguing that president trump told his supporters "he is going to fight like hell." do not forget the president trump also told his supporters that many of you 1l peacefully and patriotically march to the capital so your voices can be heard. but i guess that doesn't matter to democrats because they conveniently left all of that out in the presentation today by again selectively cutting it, c slicing, dicing, cherry picking only the parts of his speech that they want the public to hear. take a look. >> i know that everyone here soon we'll be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.

>> sean: when are the democrats going to show that part of the speech or rally? democrats do not want you to hear that part because according to them, context doesn't matter. yeah, the president absolutely said "fight like hell." we are to believe that that phrase, those words, "fight" is somehow a call for insurrection? if so, democrats, the media mob, they used at the exact same language. that would mean that using their standard, they are guilty of insurrection themselves but take a look. >> what does congress do about this?, >> we keep fighting. >> we are going to keep fighting and fighting and fighting for this. >> we should dream big, fight hard to come and take back our country. >> stand up for the best of who we are and i'm prepared to fight and iig know how to fight. >> i'm ready for that fight. the people are ready for that fight.pl >> stand up and fight for

democracy. >> i will fight every day until he's impeached. >> every single one of us to get up and fight for our country. >> we can just imagine a better future. we've got to fight for it. >> we continue to fight for a progressive agenda in ouru future. >> that's what we fight for when we fight for republicans in congress... >> is that not incitement towards insurrection? what about this vitamin will make violent rhetoric from joe biden himself? take a look. >> they say what i like to debate this gentleman? i say, no, i would take him behind the high school gym and beat the hell out of him. >> sean: so do we impeach joe biden question what he said it about a sitting president but how about this incitement, insurrection language from senator cory booker? you decide. >> before i end, that's my call

to action here. do not just come here today and go home. go to the hill today. get up and please and get up in the face of some congresspeople. >> sean: get up in the face of your congresspeople! when are we going to impeach insurrection is cory booker? or is it okay for a democratic senator to call "getting in the face," violence even, against members of congress? how about senate majority leader chuck schumer on the steps of the united state supreme court? >> i want to tell you, or you willpay the price. [cheers and applause] if you go forward with these awful decisions. >> sean: you will pay the price! but when do we impeach

chuck schumer, or is it okay for a democratic leader in the senate to threaten members of the u.s. supreme court outside their own building? of course, without maxine waters? she vowed to take trump out tonight, calling supporters to also attack cabinet officials. they are not wanted anywhere anymore, get a crowd and everything. take a look. >> anybody in that camp it cabinet in arestaurant, gas sta. you tell them that they are not welcome. with this kind of inspiration, i will go and take trump out tonight. [cheers and applause] >> sean: when does congressman waters get impeached for that violent inciting rhetoric? the call to insurrection, if they love that term so much? what about vice president kamala harris during the height

of this summer's riots? right after the police precinct in minneapolis was burned to tho ground, this is what then senator harris had to say. take a look. >> this is a movement, i'm telling you. they are not going to stop. and everyone be aware, they are not going to stop. they are not going to stop before election day in november and they are not going to stop after election day and everyone should take note of that on both levels, they are not going to let up and they should not. >> sean: "not going to stop -- take note, be aware, going to keep going, shouldn't stop, we shouldn't stop." before, during, after those are marked, american cities were facing a wave ofme violent riot. doesn't not count as an incitement, again, they are charged to insurrection when far left rioters attacked the federal courthouse in portland for weeks on end or occupy entire city blocks in the middle of seattle or burn a police

station to the ground in minneapolis, or, let's see, just take over police stations or lay siege on the white house? when the president and family were inside? riotss all summer and the lefty to praise them ignore them or downplayed them. the riots this past year, this is the only one they get outraged about. well, over the summer, nearly 30 people died, over 2,000 police officers, they were hit with rocks, bottles, bricks, molotov cocktails and frozen water bottles and worse. what about the union-ists? those who storm the state capital? nancy pelosi praise of them, impressive force of democracy. said she stands in solidarity with those that invaded and occupied, yep, the state capitol building. have times of change but will

pelosi and fellow democrats hold themselves accountable or is this impeachment charade schiff show a total scam? the answer is obvious. not only is the premise hypocritical, totally insane, butut it's now officially constitutes a kangaroo court. look at this. the judge presiding over the trial? it's not chief justice roberts as the constitution calls for. why? he wanted nothing to do with this schiff show charade and show trial. instead the presiding judge is democratic senator pat lahey. that guy right there, who also is a member of the jewelry and to makee matters worse, he already voiced that she is presiding over the whole thing. he is a ready voiced his support for donald trump's conviction writing, "for the good of the country he must lead to his party in voting to convict president trump and prevent him from holding future office.

if you ever go to court, do you want to get a judge who's already decided you are guilty before the whole thing started? meanwhile the democratic impeachment managers are also deeply flawed. you got eric swalwell, his long-time bff, the person, the chinese spy, jamie raskin? that guy actually challenged the 2016 election results which he seems to now think is an impeachable offense. and ultimately this show chuck trial will drag on, they call witnesses in the weeks, in a way i hope they call witnesses. i've got a great lists for republican senators. well, we are going to see hysteria. you are going to witness feigned, selected moral outrage but we will all witness rank hypocrisy in what is nothing but a detestable double standard. the outcome is pretty certain and predetermined. president trump will be

acquitted and this will all be for nothing. watch your grade great electedofficials in actio. here, donald trump jr. a lot to process. four major argument in my mind. one commits unconstitutional. two, the snap impeachment was made up before we found out the whole thing had been preplanned in advanced. three, the insurrectionist language of the left some of which is a big deal, if we can get to more your thoughts? >> if it wasn't for double standards, the democrats would have no standards at all. in your monologue you sort of highlighted all of the hypocrisy that we saw during ten months of rioting, looting, arson, in your face politics. candidly, whatever my fatherve said on january 6th was mild in comparison. but if you were to take his speech and compare it to

literally any stump speech ever given in the history of politics, you would see absolutely no deviation. but again, because the democrats have the media in their pockets, carrying whatever message, they can go on with impeachment part deux, what they started back in 2016 before the original inauguration, they are just going to continue it. they are all excited to be able to grandstand, be able to selectively edit, to do their faux outrage on a global scale and free air time here that's what this is all about..o i think that's the way we have to counter that. we have to do the same thing. we have to fight back the way the democrats fight. i don't mean physically. because in these days if you say the word fight, you mean insurrection -- give me a break, sean. the stuff the stuff is asinine. 44 republicans already to say

that the sham impeachment part deux is unconstitutional. i thought the senators would maybe have something better to do. maybe they would actually fight for the american people for a change. maybe they would actually get to the business of helping us through this pandemic. i do not see that happening and i certainly do not see it happening from the biden administration who is killing american jobs, defending china, eliminating the ban of the confucius institute, china taking over our universities imbibing our professors to get all the data that you have out of the research projects in american universities.er i mean, you're opening the border, you have to test people coming and legally to the for covid 19 but illegal immigrants, there is no test, they get released into society. this double standards are insane and maybe the united states the senate should be focused on that rather than their nonsense. >> sean: i know there are

going to be 28 hour days available for both that caseh they want to put out -- i do not know what they could possibly say except slice, dice, selectively edit. look at this -- but let's take out when donald trump sent to march peacefully and patriotic. we'll take that partal out. >> minor details, sean. >> sean: minor detail, it's called a fact. it's called real words that they didn't want what was inconvenient for their argument. but it's not inconvenient in their insurrectionist language, is it? if we apply the standards to them, then all of the ones i played and many more, i could go on all night, they would be guilty based on their own standards. and yet the media is only in on one side. that is sad. >> correct. in the republicans are also -- rightfully so, i do not think we should be impeaching everyone in the democratic caucus who said

ridiculous -- >> sean: i don't either! >> i'm not about that. although if they are going to pursue these things, republicans have to stop trying to play the game differently. we've got to play hardball if they are playing hardball. we have been playing t-ball for a generation while the democrats have played hardball. we turn the other cheek as they've slept us in the face and they've won every major fight along the way while we claim sums in a moral high ground in losing everything. that's what donald trump show the republican party that you can push back, you don't have to go with their norms. you don't have to listen to them in the media when they are flagrantly putting out nonsense. you can actually push back and i hope the republican party does that. if they go back to the old ways of just rolling over and dying each and every time someone in the media wants to t write a men piece about them because they can't stand them or their

constituents or donald trump's 75 million people that voted for him in this country, the highest of any conservative in the history of america, there is no future for the party. they better learn from that. as much as i despise notion of it, we have to be playing the same game. we've got to come out aggressively, pursue those kinds of ideas if they are going to do it. it's the same with canceled culture. notice that only goes one way. i'm not for cancel culture but if they are going to use it against us, against half of the country on a daily basis and use it to get rid of people, suppress them, and bully them in so many cases, if they come after me, it's one thing. i have a platform, i'm a big boy. if they go after some of these people with no platform, with cnn who post something on facebook, that kind of bullying has to stop and with the push back accordingly. >> sean: don, look where it is. it's cancel culture. have you ever been a supporter

of donald trump commode reeducation camps. they won't hire people with who serve their country in the white house. don jr. might buy a house in the neighborhood -- it is literally the sickest it has ever been ever. >> it really is. mccarthyism on steroids! they are doing this across the board but even within the military, if you have conservative leanings, you're going to be purged. c i called a couple of my friendse how many guys do you think would lean inin the teams they would o about maybe 1% and they be moderate on just about everything. this notion of purging conservatives from the military -- what are they protecting? these people have to represent americans. this is half of the country they are talking about, trying to cancel, trying to suppress -- guess what? this is the kind of treatment

and behavior that created the rise of donald trump.tr i think we are going to see that back in midtermss because as always democrats are overplaying their hand. they don't get it because they live in their little echo chamber. i understand the irony of the son of a billionaire from manhattan having a better pulse of the american people then the people chosen by those people to represent them inn congress. but congress is clueless. the democrats in congress have no idea what's going on because they have their lackeys in the media telling them they are right about all their nonsensical attacks. >> sean: why don't you go to congress and argue with david schoen? you be the perfect guy. don jr., thank you. will aoc apologize to. ted ted cruzwere saying he always hr murdered? she was in t the other building for it not that we are downplaying the threat. we will have senator cruz next.

>> sean: the exact same time president trump 's slicing, cutting, editing, far left radicals failing to take a response play their far less violent rhetoric. senator, good to see you. how would you argue this? i thought david schon was going to join us next who is critically effective. i thought it was a week start. not being critical. just being lackluster, meandering to me, needs a little more focus. your thoughts? >> there is no doubt that the lawyers can tighten it up some but at the end of the day i think today typo fired what we are going to see this week, which reminds me of shakespeare. it's full of sound and fury

signifying nothing. we are going to see this week a whole lot of democrats pounding table. going to see a lot of moralizing and a lot of really venting their hatred for donald trump. in case you haven't been paying attention the last four years, the democrats really, really, really hate donald trump and they are going to attack president trump over and over again every way they can. they are going to bring in the idea that they've got, you know, swallow well coming in. i do hope he gives some remarks on improving our relations with china. he has a novel approach to that. but this is going to be just venting the id of the democrats. and it's going to end with failure.e. it's going to end with the president being acquitted. i in order for the president to be convicted, it takes 67 votes in the u.s. senate.at that's not going to happen. not going to get 67 votes. not going to get close to 67

votes. every one of 100 senators know that. every one of the house managers know that. but this is political theater because rather than address the real problems, the real challenges we have in this country, rather than focus on getting kids back to school and getting americans back to work, the democrats want a week of just political theater raging at donald trump.. >> if the issues you mentioned in others, covid relief, vaccine distribution, helping people that are still in need of help because of draconian shutdowns, et cetera, et cetera, if that wasn't so important right now, i would almost want to argue that i'd like to bring in witness is because i'd like america to see the double standard of how we define insightful language and insurrection for but now that we know it'sin preplanned and they knew what i had a hymen and didn't do anything, that now

transcends all issues because we can't allow that to be happening in a post-9/11 america, senator cruz. >> sean, you're exactly right and let me commend your monologue tonight. i always like the monologues but i thought you did a nice job putting together some of the more egregious examples. the democrats right now, what they are trying to say is that president trump's rhetoric caused the terrorist attack on the capital. listen, the president's language at times i think is overheated. but if you look at the language used, saying things like fight, saying things like go retake our country, if that is now incitement, then we better prepare a long line to indict every candidate for office who's ever run, anyone who's ever given a stump speech and said let's go fight come let's go win come let's go retake our country, and when it comes to encouraging violins commode you notated quite rightly that the president was careful to say

that the protesters should be peaceful, we've had democrats for a year cheering on, we've seen violence all over the country. we've seen rights all over the country. we've seen in stores being looted, firebombed, police cars being firebombed. police officers being assaulted, police officers being murdered, individual citizens being assaulted anddi what do the democrats do question like they'd share it on, celebrated. in fact, kamala harris, our new vice president vice president, harris not only encouraged them to keep at it, keep doing it more, she raised money to pay for the bail, to bail out the violent criminals. let me be clear. anyone who attacked the capital, anyone who attacks the police officers, they need to be prosecuted and put in jail along long time. nobody has a right to engage in violins. the difference is you and i have been consistent in that. we said that if you are engaged in violence, whether you are left-wing or right wing, that's

unacceptable. the democrats have been complete hypocrites on this, cheering on blm and antifa and apologizing for their violins and the hypocrisy is really thick right now. >> sean: senator, you are a constitutional scholar, a champion debater from harvard. tell me what my arguments are missing or maybe what you would to see and hear from the defense in this i case? >> the arguments the defense need to focus on is for slightly what you say. the impeachment article fails on the merritt. they have charge of the president with incitement of violence and insurrection. nothing they said meets the legal standard for incitement.. incitement is very clear. incitement is very deliberately saying, go attack -- by the way, if you are actually measuring the standard for incitement, those democrats you played,

maxine waters, what she said, chuck schumer, what he said, they would come much closer to meeting the standard for incitement then did president trump. but the honest answer is none of them meet incitement. we have the first amendment. we have robust political speech. people are entitled to be idiots. you know what? in united states congress, we've got a lot of people doing that. we shouldn't be prosecuting people for speaking and we shouldn't be impeaching them. this is political theater. the reason they are doing this, we need to understand this, is not just a hate donald trump, they hate the 75 million americans who voted for him and they are trying to silence you, they are trying to cancel you, they are trying to erase you and it's not going to work and already just a couple weeks into the biden administration they are overreaching, they are going to far left, and politics is like a pendulum and we are going to go back towards insanity and mark my words, 2022 is going to be a fantastic election in 2024 is going to be a fantastic

election. >> sean: senator ted cruz, thank you. after the break, the president's attorney david schoen joins us for an exclusive interview following day one of the impeachment schiff show charade sham. say that five times fast. straight ahead. & set of x-rays with no obligation. no insurance? no worries, it's free. plus, now all patients can get 20% off their treatment plan. find every reason to smile. every day at aspen dental. call 1-800-aspendental or book today at aspendental.com

>> sean: joining us now is the attorney for president trump, david schoen for this impeachment, i call it the schiff show charade. i love your arguments, i love your passion.i i thought it started a little meandering. sort of like a lot of free associating in the beginning. i'm not attacking your partner.m i do not know him at all. but i like focused arguments and

i particularly liked -- you actually ran tape of the democrats, pointing out the obvious that, oh, news has changed quite a bit since the snap impeachment. >> yeah. i think this is a very, very, very very, very painful and raw process for the country. as you said earlier in your show, it's easy to show up and splice and manufacture films. literally the democratics, they probably hired a large movie company and law firm to put together this thing. it's a matter of tricking theeo american people. the writing was going on in real time with the speech. what's the purpose of that. why do we want to trick the american people? they have great entertainment value. people are glued to a movie may professionally like that. that's not going to advance the cause, any cause of good in the country. >> sean: the constitutional issue jurisdiction, let's go over that and why this is not

constitutional. >> so many reasons why it's not constitutional. the house managers got up and sent a clear question for even their people say it's a close call at best. it's common sense. nobody thinks of using the impeachment process for anything then removing a civil official from office. we have courts. if you want to have an investigation, want to prosecute someone on something like that, wee have a quartz beer that's nt what impeachment is for. we talk about the language in the constitution today, that sort of thing. to me it's just absolute nonsense.it the president is no longer the president right now and he is a person who cannot be removed from office but he's a private citizen. this is what our founding fathers are very much against, having a legislative body try a private citizen. think about it. doesn't get any of the benefits or safeguards that the constitution provides for someone who has an actual trial. that videotape would never go into evidence at any point in the world today.

it's a splice tape showing what they want to show! >> it's pretty profound to me that the media is now acknowledging we have law enforcement, the fbi acknowledging, court documents acknowledging, all these people now discussing how in fact this was all preplanned. how do you make the argument that at a rally, the words of the president to peacefully and patriotically march to the capital so your voices are heard, how do you make the argument that incited insurrection when in fact it was all planned out apparently ahead of time according to all of these varying sourcesf now? >> even taking that position that that incited insurrection, it would absolutely chill passionate political speech.il i think one of your guests,

mr. trump jr. said it best, that compared to other rhetoric that you hear, this was mild. if you really read the speech and watch it, he calls -- when he uses the word fight, it's in the context of a legislature fighting was nothing like that. it's really setting a horribleag message to people. i understand there they don't like donald trump on that side of the aisle. half the country loves him. i say that you probably have 74-center 5 million voters, they voted for him because they live donald trump. i do not know many of the candidates can say that. many people voted because they didn't want donald trump, but he has a real following. he's a passionate person. it setting a varied dangerous and wrong message. >> sean: if we apply the dim aquatic standards for how they define incitement and insurrection, what if we applied it as we started our monologue tonight to the words of joe biden,n, kamala harris,

chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, maxine waters, a whole host of others, if the vat state same standard is applied, do they not all deserve impeachment too? by the way, i don't agree with it. if you use their standard, if you are somewhat intellectually honest, you have to say they deserve impeachment. >> i would also say that's an abuse of the impeachment process. but your point is they are using rhetoric that is just as inflammatory or more so. the problem is they don't have followers, dedicated followers when they give speeches be this speech right now is you really are finding out you are finding about the preplanning and i believe they will back up the investigation because may be so many people want to tie it to donald trump. there is nothing they showed today that ties this to donald trump. it's a silly argument. it's not tied to donald trump or his speech. what they are doing is it's not

just that speech, he's been inciting people and flaming people, he's been rousing the american public to drain the swamp, whatever they call it on the inside to make a difference in this country. that's what political speech is aboutou. >> there's a lot of criticism in the opening, not your part in particular, but it seemed to be freeus association, extemporaneous, somewhat meandering. will the rest of this process -- because you are going to be out as i understand friday and saturday, will this be more focused and will it be more prepared or are there other people that are planning to make those arguments? some conservatives called me and said we need somebody harder hitting here. >> the fella who did his opening, he has a law firm here, very capable. he didn't plan on going so i'm sure they'll be very well-prepared in the future and do a great job in the case. a there is a lot to say and i know

they feel very strongly about fighting against what they are seeing. >> sean: david, good job today. you won't believe -- all right, creepy joe is back. creepys uncountable comment joe directed at a nurse yesterday. we've got the tape and we've got some past highlights and will get reaction from pete hegseth, tammy bruce straight ahead. go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again.

>> sean: the>> week, the frail, the struggling joe had another baffling and frankly what we were calling the fuller the election "creamy moment." this happened monday with a virtual discussion with a nurse running a vaccine center in arizona. take a look. >> i know i'm trying to do

everything to make this safe. >> are you a freshman at the university? [laughs] >> no, no... [laughs] >> you look like a freshman. >> thank you. spew okay. it wouldn't be that bad but of course be 13 has a long history of this sort of unprofessional committees and comfortable moments. s here with the reaction, "fox & friends" cohost pete hegseth and tammy bruce. when you run the video, we actually edited out andnd pixele the faces of a lot of young kids with this, with joe, a lot of hair sniffing, the kissing of the neck, it just creeped me out. i'm being nice, else i'd show a lot of stuff i think some parents might not like. pete? >> sean, she was just not a

freshman at arizona, she is the lead nurse at a covid-19 vaccination site meant to demonstrate the efficacy of their efforts from which of course a biden administration should be thankingdm the miracle of these vaccine to the trump administration.p there is a reason dr. biden did all the talking in a super bowl video because we know who joe is. this is a very, very typical, not surprising at all. instead of focusing on covid the way he should, sean, we are spending all thissh time about spending time on an impeachment hearing where we know what the outcome is going to be. instead, we get a virtual hair sniffing, which is what we can expect from uncle joe.er >> sean: tammy, i don't know. maybe i just have a different philosophy. i'm not the big touchy-feely type and you've seen the video which i'm discussing here. this was not the worst comment in the world. let's be honest w here.

>> but there was more. >> sean: there is a lot more. >> and look, this is where we have to remember what has led up to this. the impeachment hearing is a distraction from the disaster that is in the white house. joe biden had to issue, remember during the campaign, a video statement after scores of women came forward, professional women, women who are democrats saying that their space had not just been intruded on but inappropriate behavior made them extremely uncomfortable, credibly accused by at least i think 18 women, a dozen to 18 women, if not more, and a credible accusation of assault. you noticed that that is gone. this is what we can expect. this isn't just from today or he was tired or he was trying to be funny. this is what he does. and what it shows you, sean, is

how deep-seated this attitudeow is. his comment to her, and i think being a freshman is great, being in college is great. but it was at his management of that woman. before his comment, she had described her role, what her position is. after that comment, she described it again. that woman worked hard to be in that position. he turned her into a thing. this is what joe biden does. it's what he's been doing, and the democrats, hollywood, you noticeod their silence? it highlights the hypocrisy and he's been in office what, sean,p a couple of weeks? it's already beginning. kamala harris said she believed his accusers and he noticed the faceic when this begins, there'a sweeping kind of panic and she erases it right away. but she's there all the time now, almost like a miner which is shameful.

this is an issue of character across the board for everyone in the white house. >> sean: i guess old habits are tough to break. 20 seconds, pete hegseth. >> exactly right. you want the most thoughtful, serious person possible in that position to get us out of that nightmare we are in. again, what tammy said is right. we knew who this nurse was. afterwards she had to acknowledge it. you make a crack that she's a freshman at arizona like it's the most juvenile thing that you can think of in the most important moment you could possibly imagine. it's the empty vessel we have in the white house. it's really bad. >> sean: pete, thank you. tammy, thank you. we will have more "hannity" after this.

we will never be the media mob. we'll give you news, information, opinion -- we are the whole newspaper and the price. they say they are news, they are not. they are abusively biased. let not your hearts be troubled. why? laura ingraham takes you the rest of the way. laura? how are you. >> laura: i'm glad you pressed the trump lawyer on the first lawyer who presented the case. >> sean: a little meandering, a little free associative. go ahead. >> laura: it was terrible. you are way too charitable. if you hired that guy in that case you are paying the bills on, it would have been, like, i'm sure you are a nice person but -- >> sean: oh, boy,... >> laura: how much time could he praise the democrats, how much about he loves the senate. it was like story
