6:00 pm
working class people demanding an end to tyranny. they are not transported. a motion condemning the wearing a black face was shot down in the parliament, meaning opposition parties is totally pathetic, they should be ashamed. that's it for us tonight. sean hannity takes over now. >> sean: tucker, thank you, and welcome to "hannity." tonight for the hour we're to highlight the serious device a problem that persists all of this country, mainly among democrats, their friends, and big tech, the media mob. time and time again, these powerful individuals -- and they are powerful -- they create rules they themselves don't follow. some call it hypocrisy, others refer to it as a double standard. in reality, it's fraud, deception, for the purpose of political gain in power. it's about forcing your kids to wear masks during recess even while adults pack into a crowded arena, not a mask insight. it's about twitter and facebook,
6:01 pm
they censor the very true hunter biden laptop report while allowing the fake salacious claims in the dirty dossier, the russian dirty dossier that hillary paid for. that could circulate all day, every day, every place. it's about joe rogan becoming enemy number one for having an open dialogue and daring to ask questions that i guess are inappropriate. rachel maddow? she faces zero repercussions for deliberately lying to her viewers about, oh, trump/russia collusion for how many years? has about fix new cnn obsessively condemning january 6th, the riot that took place, but then never talking about the 574 riots in the summer of 2020 that left dozens of people dead. they characterized those rights is mostly peaceful, even when the city is burning behind their reporter right over the shoulder. it's about whoopi goldberg. recently making comments about the holocaust, minimized the horrors of what was racist.
6:02 pm
here's what she said. take a look. >> let's be truthful about it because the holocaust isn't about race. no. it's not about race. >> welcome it is -- >> it's not about race. it's not about race. >> than what is it about? >> it's about man's inhumanity to man. that's what it's about. >> but it's about white supremacy. [overtop] >> these are white groups of people. >> dominic you're missing the point. the minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. >> sean: she was right on the evil portion of her comments, but of course she was wrong and everything else. she and has since acknowledged, rightfully apologized, clarified her remarks, but think about this. it will be goldberg were a conservative or a republican, wouldn't she be fired already or the very least be bombarded with
6:03 pm
boycotts and serious repercussions? on this program it over the entire course of my career i have steadfastly refused to join calls to boycott and fire and have people canceled. look, i've known whoopi goldberg for years. we haven't talked recently, i will say that, haven't gone back on the show in a long time, and we never agreed politically. i simply see her being inarticulate and maybe not even understanding the evil ideology that was hitler and nazi germany. she's not anti-semitic from the person that i knew. i read people pretty well. it's obvious her comments were grossly inaccurate. she has rightly apologized, she's clarified her remarks. i don't know. maybe i'm old-fashioned, i just believe in second chances, and i'm pretty confident she's never going to make that same mistake again. yeah, and i know nobody at the view would ever do this for a conservative ever. hell would freeze over, but here's the great thing about living in a free country, if you
6:04 pm
don't like what whoopi goldberg said, guess what? change the channel. if you don't like her show, change the channel. you don't like stephen colbert, constantly showing for democrats, telling bad jokes, don't watch it. no one is forcing you to. you don't have to tune in. censorship via big government, corporations, is never the answer. tonight i'm calling on everyone, on all these other networks here on abc, nbc, cbs, msdnc, fake new cnn, you need to denounce censorship and stop with the boycotts and stop with the faint moral outrage and none of your perfect either, and when you make a mistake, you should get the same forgiveness if you're sincere in your apology. that's never going to happen. dishonesty hacks. you know, the humpty dumpty's of the world. they love censorship. they want fox off the air, they want conservatives on talk radio silence. they want republicans out of power forever, and they detest even the site of donald trump. they detest competition, especially because they are
6:05 pm
losing so badly. so they don't care about truth, fairness, freedom, forgiveness, none of that. that's why just a few hours after joe rogan apologized, which i don't think he should have done, for potentially spreading misinformation, the media continued to attack him. in joe rogan's case, i'm arguing he didn't need to apologize at all. the left wants to squash all descent, they won't stop until everyone that disagrees with them is silenced. i will have more in my monologue coming up, but joining us first with reaction, clay travis, cohost of "the five" geraldo rivera, and fox news contributor ari fleischer. ari, i'm going to go to you first because your communications expert. let's look at joe rogan for example. it's a talk show host, he's an inquisitive talk show host. he asks questions, envious people from, you know, all different points of view. he gets covid into goes public with him and he says my doctor and i decided to throw everything we had added,
6:06 pm
monoclonal antibodies, hc q, ivermectin. okay, why -- am i the only one that says joe, i'm glad you're better, thank god you're not a statistic? and a second thing is the interviews for example robert malone. one of the main doctors behind the technology for mrna vaccines. in other words, without dr. malone we likely wouldn't have the pfizer and modernity vaccines. and how is it we got to this point that this guy can't even ask that doctor, you know, question -- they don't like his answer, they want to shut this guy down and boycott him and his entire company is in financial jeopardy tonight. >> the answer, sean, is because for too long it's been a creeping movement for years and its hitting crescendo, the ideological left has engaged in intolerance. it really has been -- it started
6:07 pm
on college campuses were people who took views that were opposed by a lot of the young people found comrades among the leadership, the administration, the faculty, and it is starting to spread throw the workforce or if you don't say what is required to be said from the point of view of the left, you should be drummed off of campus and out of the workforce. and it's insidious. i am an old line aclu liberal when it comes to speech, and i wish the aclu would defend speech again. you have said something profound when you said if you don't like it, change the channel. isn't that simple and elegant, and isn't that what america -- >> sean: there is an exception to that role. >> say what we want. what's that? >> sean: you can't turn off the channel here, you have to watch. it's mandatory. [laughter] let me go to my friend geraldo on the left. you look at neil young, these, you know old rockers, you know, so much for rocking in the free world now, geraldo, and they
6:08 pm
want some notoriety, attention, they are out of the spotlight. they are entitled to their opinion, but if taylor swift wanted to take out joe rogan and she did the same thing dated, guess what? spotify is in deep trouble, or adam schiff, as i call it. >> you're absolutely right, of course, that if it was taylor swift or drake, it would have been a far different explosion. i think it would have been nuclear if these young stars who are so popular decided to boycott because of joe rogan. but there's a couple more points i want to make. i think you're absolutely right about the russia, russia, russia collusion and how the media colluded with the democrats to perpetuate the phony story leading up to the first impeachment, which was absolutely a fraud. so i agree with you up until that point. i think the problem with the joe rogans of the world, and i congratulate him for his enormous success, is that they
6:09 pm
have to self-sensor. if not a question about the corporation is doing, it's a question about what joe rogan -- he's a very smart guy. he does his homework but you can't put alex jones or near station and expect, you know, regional conversation. >> sean: why? why does he have to self-sensor? people get to pick and choose if they want to watch or listen to his podcast. why can't he just be who he is -- you know, what happened to liberty and freedom and choice and nobody is forcing anybody to watch or listen? >> what happened was those little 6-year-olds were slaughtered and that phony piece of crap said it was a fake story and joe rogan has to bust that guy. he has to prevent that guy. you know, it is really very troubling to me that republicans and democrats have a different idea about the peril presented by covid. why aren't we all on the same page about back?
6:10 pm
ivermectin or whatever -- >> sean: let me bring clay in here for a second. i contend joe rogan made a huge mistake. he shouldn't have apologized. he and his doctor made a decision and i'm not seeing a study on ivermectin, a medical study that convinced me anything. mark says they don't support off label use of it, but i have seen studies on hc q, but the gold standard according to every doctor is monoclonal antibodies, and now these antivirals are getting very great reviews from every doctor i know. why did he apologize for interviewing somebody and asking questions, and why did he have to apologize what him and his own doctor decided to do with his body? >> is a fantastic question. you should never apologize if you believe that you didn't do anything wrong. and i don't personally believe that joe rogan did anything wrong. i think it probably apologized because the spotify ceo asked
6:11 pm
him to help take some of the heat off of the company and the reality is, apologies don't work anymore. i think ari fleischer would probably agree with that. and geraldo, i want to talk about your situation in a moment but first i want to -- this happened to my radio show, the one that comes on right before you all over the country. we had senator rand paul on the show. he's a medical doctor. he's running for reelection in 2022 in kentucky. youtube refused to post the interview that we did on our radio show. that is a direct contravention of the marketplace of ideas. i am also an old-school liberal in the context of everyone should be able to speak. whoopi goldberg was wrong. she deservedly got called out for being wrong, but in the process, we learned more as a nation by having that discussion. i don't believe she should be canceled. geraldo's point about republicans and democrats. and democrats, when it comes to
6:12 pm
covid, are overwhelmingly terrified no matter their age despite what the data reflects. they're the ones who are insisting that kids wear masks in schools even though the atlantic is now saying there is zero evidence of it, even though "the new york times" is now running editorials seeing kids don't need to be in masks. a lot of this is about risk tolerance. joe rogan's audience tends to be younger. if you are in your 20s and 30s, your danger from covid is much lower than if you are in your 80s. have three school aged kids. [indiscernible]. >> sean: i agree >> i disagree. >> it's a total failure here. >> sean: geraldo. >> there should not be two standards for medical information about a disease. if president trump had joined early on as he later did with president biden and together they had presented a united front to the american people [over talk]
6:13 pm
>> sean: hang on a second. it was joe biden -- you want to talk about misinformation, anthony fauci, joe biden, the cdc, nih, take the vaccine, you'll never get covid. they have been the biggest purveyors of misinformation of anybody during this pandemic. oh, we will never have a vaccine mandate. excuse me, where is the science that young people need a vaccine 5-11 when the death rate is almost the equivalent of influenza, ari? >> yeah, here's what the problem with what geraldo said, he said there shouldn't be too standards when it comes to covid. do a member when senator tom cotton said publicly for the first time when covid first hit that it is possible it came from a lab in wuhan and didn't come from a market? and others started to say it and what happens? they were told that's misinformation. facebook, youtube, electronic media censored them, took those posts down, said you're not allowed to speculate, it could
6:14 pm
come from the lab. then biden team came along with intelligence reports saying it actually might have come out of the lab and all of a sudden facebook says now you can post it. the problem, geraldo, is the left and all of their organs, especially social media, silence the right when it's speech that they don't like. whether that speech is accurate or inaccurate, truthful or not, they are silenced and they shut it down and in this case it turned out to likely be the truth. so you shut down the truth when you say there can't be two standards. >> subquestion. >> sean: we will have to go on. >> after operation warp speed, after the president created these vaccines by urging the scientists to get it done. after he did that and he lost the election, then he dropped it. he should not have dropped it. >> sean: no he didn't. though he didn't. >> he's talking about it all the time, geraldo. [over talk] >> he talks about it all the time. >> sean: i got to let you guys go. thank you all. we appreciate it. we are to turn to another
6:15 pm
blatant double standard on the left. this time it does involve president trump. over the weekend, he vowed that he might pardon some january 6th rioters if he runs and is reelected in 2024. right on cue, there you go, the media mob is triggered, they erupt into this state of hysteria and naturally it a lot of people were very angry with his were marks. protectable. that's fine. people who riot, assault police, destroyed property, should be prosecuted. i set it on january 6, i will repeat it tonight. we believe that. and we believe in the rule of law. but for many democrats, no, the rule of law depends on who's committing the crimes. look at these numbers. 91% of those arrested during portland's wave of violence, they are not been prosecuted at all. 91%. according to the portland d.a., violent rioters should be excused because they're "angry" and they are deeply frustrated with what they perceive to be structural inequities.
6:16 pm
wow. people on january 6th think the same. meanwhile, in minneapolis, more than a thousand buildings were burned or damaged -- by the way, kamala helped with the bail fund, tweeting out support. criminal charges have only been filed for 1% of those criminal acts. 1%. one writer actually charged earned a local pawn shop right to the ground, destroying a man's dream and killing a man in that fire. prosecutors requested his sentencing guideline be cut in half. here's the reason why. mr. lee's motive for setting the fire is a foremost issue. mr. lee credibly states that he was in the streets to protest unlawful police violence against black men. mr. lee only was sentenced to ten years. he killed somebody. in philly, hundreds of rioters avoided jail time through something the prosecutor is calling restorative justice. in houston, the d.a. they're dismissed nearly 800 charges against rioters.
6:17 pm
in l.a., 93% of cases were never filed. in new york city, hundreds of people that were looting and rioting and involved in arson, they were all spared charges while most others avoided jail time. at all told, according to a report in a dozen major jurisdictions, at least 90% of charges against the rioters in the summer of 2020, they were dropped, they were dismissed, and many of those acts of violence were caught on camera. we got your face right here, but we are not going to prosecute you. surveillance cameras as well. news organizations as well. they have footage, yet most of the rioters and looters and arsonists, they got a free pass. in fact, they are being applauded. her member kamala harris, the bail fund. she praised defunding the l.a. police department. get this, look in seattle. city officials in seattle we've now learned reportedly considered turning over a police building to black lives matter organization during the height of the violence.
6:18 pm
how stupid is that? so my message to the people in the media mob, the democratic party, they get the vapors over the january 6th -- what happened on january 6th. fine. if you share that outrage, show me the same outrage on the 574 riots. by the way, where is that committee? where is that indignation? here with reaction, fox news contributor's joe concha, leo terrell, let's start with the media, joe, and specifically, the part where, oh, the mostly peaceful protests. far more severe consequences in total and no committee, why? >> mostly peaceful riots they should be called, right? you are 100% correct on the consistency here. let's be candid though. donald trump is profoundly wrong for saying that mike pence could overturn the election of januar. he could not. he also shouldn't be talking about pardons for january 6th,
6:19 pm
because that applies to police officers getting hurt. sorry, nobody supports that. to your point though, it is also blatantly hypocritical democrats and cheney and kinsinger to pretend all those nearly 600 mostly peaceful riots that result in summoning businesses, destroyed police officers, former police officers injured or killed did not happen. let me finish. >> sean: what is the difference -- what is the difference when you don't charge people and you give them a pass for rioting, for arson, for looting, for burning, pelting bricks, rocks, bottles, and molotov cocktails at cops, you don't charge them, you've got them on videotape, isn't that a pardon? isn't at the same thing? >> those district attorneys, those mayors -- >> sean: isn't it the same thing. ostensibly. >> it is the same thing. that is my point, that you need to be consistent across all levels. you are either four riots or you are against riots. attacking property, salting and
6:20 pm
killing police officers, that all has to be convicted. >> sean: we need to be consistent -- we've been consistent on this show. leo, you're a lawyer. from a legal standpoint, what's the difference between a pardon and not prosecuting somebody that you've got video evidence of committing violent crimes? >> it's great to be a lawyer here. i want to throw him under the bus, because let me tell you right now, nothing preventing -- donald trump was president. he would've at the constitutional right to look at every one of those individual cases and hand out a pardon. if you're going to be a prosecutor, you have prosecutorial discretion like these prosecutors used, to decide whether or not they are going to prosecute these people who commit murders. these people commit arson. that's called prosecutorial discretion. it is within their legal rights, so i would submit to you that donald trump is elected, i hope he does get elected, would look at those cases on a case-by-case basis. there is no difference. it's absolutely the right and the only reason why the left is
6:21 pm
yelling is because those are democratic voters who they let get off of murder, crime, and arson. >> sean: you know, joe concha, donald trump, we now know from mark meadows, we know from cash patel, chairman of the joint chiefs, secretary of defense on january 4th were in the oval office, and lo and behold donald trump them as required by law, authorized up to 20,000 national guard troops to be called up. then the jurisdiction went to muriel bowser, the d.c. mayor, and nancy pelosi. why didn't they call up knowing large crowds were coming, knowing tensions were high, coming off a summer of rioting, how come they are not being brought into this sham committee to kick off jim jordan and jim banks to put on the two biggest republican trump haters they could find? >> because jim jordan and jim banks are not on the committee, right? or else they would be asking the right questions here as far as if the president and president trump at the time it
6:22 pm
ordered all those national guard troops to be there but he needed approval from those two entities, why weren't they there? guys, i am not justifying the riots in any way, shape, or form over 2020. i've been on this show and in print. >> sean: you are consistent, so am i. >> we need consistency. [over talk] how mike pence could overturn an election when he can't overturn an election, all right? we have to stop that kind of talk. >> sean: you are dealing with a separate issue and mark meadows agrees with you. but that's not the issue here. i will give you the last word, leo. >> justice has to be equal. justice has to be equal. and giving out a pardon is a right of any president, prosecutorial discretion and what's happened is very clear. the numbers show that none of those people who rioted, looted, committed murder, have been given a get out of jail card simply because that represents the democratic -- >> leo, anybody who hurts a police officer in january 6th
6:23 pm
also should never be pardoned in any way, shape, or form. >> the individual of the president. >> sean: they already got there pardon, they are not been prosecuted. 574 riots, they also prosecuted. that's the equivalent of a pardon. we need consistency. there i agree with you. coming up from a shocking about congresswoman maxine waters, allegedly now paying her daughter a massive amount of money with campaign cash. if republicans win back the house, will these scandals be investigated? in other words, will now minority leader in the house kevin mccarthy go after nancy pelosi and the likes of maxine waters and others? he will answer the question next. ♪ ♪ the last thing on my mind. hey mom, can i go play video games? sure, after homework. thankfully, voya provides comprehensive solutions and shows me how to get the most out of my workplace benefits. what's the wifi password again? here...you...go.

6:28 pm
>> sean: more evidence tonight about how democrats in the swamp and d.c. use their political status and enrich themselves and their families. now we're learning that since 2003, karen waters, she is the daughter of congresswoman maxine waters, is received over a million bucks in payments from her mom to her and her company called progressive connections for alleged campaign-related services. we reached out to congresswoman waters' office for comment, we have yet to hear back. imagine that. this comes amid continuing momentum on capitol hill to pass legislation to restrict stock trading by members of congress, but pelosi, she is sending mixed messages. she going to join a group of bipartisan lawmakers to bring about accountability to the corrupt swamp, and what can we expect from a g.o.p. majority if they take back control in november? here now, house minority leader kevin mccarthy. i want to know a lot of things. i want to know if you would
6:29 pm
investigate maxine waters' daughter and the money there, pelosi's stock trading. i want to know if you investigate that, i want to know if you would form a committee looking into the riots of 2020 and maybe even an investigation into the biggest purveyor of election lies in history, and that's adam schiff. >> sean, we will look at everything, because you need to trust your government and right now people don't. if we were given the ability to be in the majority, this is exactly what we will do. and if not something that i'm waiting around. right now it's you do have the ability to pay a family member. i think that's just wrong with your campaign. but they have to do the work in the compensation has to be equal for the work done. this raises amazing questions. a million dollars, what really have they done with the campaign? i raised this issue long ago and already said we would look at whether members can buy individual stocks, but this is much different. nancy pelosi is the one member in congress that can control what comes to the floor, what
6:30 pm
can come out of committee, and what can pass. now, her husband didn't buy individual stock, but bought options. much riskier. bought options when it came to tech companies. at the same time the democrats said they were going to overhaul the tech community. you know what was interesting what his options came due that month? that's when the tech bills went in committee. they made $5 million in one month. you wonder why she fights so hard to keep that the rule. if we were in the majority, we will look at not just this, but we will hold the said administration accountable. what about looking at the origins of covid? we have 900,000 americans killed from this coming from china. and next week they will celebrate the olympics there. but what about the attorney general going after parents saying they are terrorists, and the secretary of education have something to do with that?
6:31 pm
and what about afghanistan? how did that take place? now we've got a president and administration that works and hide from us and puts illegals on airplanes and hides them throughout the country. they are more concerned about illegals getting into america and americans getting back from afghanistan. this is just the start of what we will do, but we are prepared to change on day one. that's why not just you, but all your viewers to go to firepelosi --bringingtrustbackto thegovernment.>> sean:thiscan'th owvotestorepealintoplaceobamacar eandthendonald trumpispresidentw i llsignthe built you're saying these things will never happen? >> we are running them today trying to get them through but pelosi is stopping it. we will come out with a commitment to america long before the election or we will tell the american public if you trust us with the majority, this
6:32 pm
is what we promise our commitment to you to do. a laundry list of bills. a parent's bill of rights, streets become safer again. why would you ever get a copy grad if you have a d.a. that will only pick and choose the laws they want to prosecute. what about looking at small business? what about securing the border? what about making america energy independent and then holding the administration accountable? that's why we need to fire pelosi and that's why we need everyone to join. >> sean: all right, thank you. kevin mccarthy, we appreciate your time. when we come back, just hours ago, breaking, usa swimming has just issued a brand-new policy for transgender athletes. we have a live report on this, and governor glenn youngkin rescinding virginia's school mask mandates. students, they are still being suspended if they don't wear the mask. did they miss the message or they don't care with the governors has? straight ahead. ♪ ♪ itis under control?

♪ ♪ >> sean: this just breaking, u.s. swimming has now released in a policy for transgender athletes, here with the very latest our own matt finn. this could be big. >> yeah, sean, controversial. at the university of pennsylvania, might be coming to a halt because of new usa swimming rules, just released today. usa swimming says it will continue to champion gender equity, but acknowledges a competitive difference and its male and female elites at least. new rules require in part that transgender athletes have their testosterone levels monitored for at least 36 months before applying to compete to determine if their testosterone level is greater than the average female. it's not clear exactly 122-year-old leah thomas began taking test drone -- it appears she might fall a few months
6:38 pm
short of the new 36 month monitoring role. the ncaa follows usa swimming guidelines affecting thomas. fox news reached out to the ncaa for clarification. an anonymous teammate previously spoke out against the swimmer for being an undefeatable competitor. members of penn swimming released a statement supporting thomas. >> sean: caitlyn jenner on the show said i'm not really worried about testosterone levels now. what were they like when a person was 16 or 17. interesting comments. we will follow the story. also to make him evidence of how true conine covert restrictions and frankly unhinged lunacy in wrecking the lives of america's skids in schools. they are suspending students were making a decision to not wear a mask following governor glenn youngkin's order, which gives parents and students the choice if they want to wear one or not. according to parents, fairfax public schools, they are now trying to amend the school
6:39 pm
apostate's dress code is a workaround to push their never ending pandemic power grab. the school district told us in a statement in part, "we are required under virginia law, senate bill 13-03 to follow cdc guidance to the maximum extent possible -- practical and current cdc guidance for k-12 education is universal masking." but that response is entirely misleading if not outright false and cosponsor that legislation said "sb 13-03 has been used against her children and against its intent the school year to advance an agenda," so sb 13-03 does not mandate the use of masks in schools because the cdc does not mandate masks. but the school district, they are refusing to follow the signs, refusing to give students and parents the choice, refusing to hold themselves accountable for their obvious and undeniable failures. anyway, here with more,
6:40 pm
stephanie lundquist aurora. she is the parent of three kids suspended for not wearing their masks in school. along with fox news contributor and a parent in her own right, lara trump is back with us. these are your three kids. i want to -- and now we have the author of that law saying that's not the intent, that's not what it says, this isn't required, why is the school district forcing you to do it and what do you to do? >> well, sean, i'm not really sure that this is even about masks anymore. it kind of feels like it's liberty versus tyranny debate and local government trying to have as much control over people as possible. so i asked my sons in the beginning of this whole thing, i said you don't have to go to school with your mask off if you don't want to. it's entirely your choice, and they've been complaining overtime about their heads hurt, it's hard to be in a mask all day, they don't want to be in a
6:41 pm
mask, so my three sons collectively decided that they didn't want to be in a mask and i told them i will follow your lead 150%. it's your choice, let's do it. so every single day we've gone in, they are told put the mask on, put the mask on, because that's what they are saying, they are trying follow senate bill 1303. and my sons say my mom has opted us out and then they get sent to the office every single day. so the office calls me and says they are failing to comply with the mask mandate, and you need to come get them. so every single day since tuesday january 25th, monday was a workday for us, i went to school and i picked them up, ten minutes basically after the bell rang, and have been given suspension papers. and i think the real story here is about the fortitude of the
6:42 pm
boys who keep doing this. i'm very proud of them for their kind of civil disobedience, or their civil obedience, depending on how you see things. so what do i plan to do? i've been appealing every single time they get suspended to the superintendent and the school board saying this is unfair, it's true conine that you are suspending them, why are you even suspending them and they say -- not to me, nobody is responding to me. but they save dress code violation is what it says in the paperwork. it appears to me now -- >> sean: i can't believe you're going through this. let me bring lara trump in. you know, everything that they told us, fauci, march 2020, masks don't work, one mask, to masks, three masks, then vaccination, mask, booster. the bar shifts and changes, and that's why nobody trusts any of these people. but as a parent, it is so stifling and the science does not support it. so what happens to follow the

science? >> it's a great question, and i want to say kudos to stephanie, thank you for standing up for your children, thank you for giving them the choice. >> thank you, i appreciate that. >> if you would have told people two years ago that there would be any student in america who would be suspended for not wearing a mask to school, people have said you are crazy, sean, this is not even possible in the united states of america and yet it is happening right now, so let's back up. yes, governor youngkin signed an executive order giving parents the choice as to whether or not to mask their kids. he never said if you want to mask your kid you are not able to. and then to your point, sean, the science. at the science has been very clear. the only mask that actually prevent transmission of covid-19 art n95 masks. if you are wearing anything other than that, basically it is just for show. stephanie just talked about the headaches that her kids get buried we know the kids sitting for eight hours a day in these
6:44 pm
masks all day, they can't concentrate on learning. it is so bad for them. they can't have great communication with their peers, they can't see the peer space, they can't communicate well with the teacher because they can see the teachers face. you have young kids like i do, my daughter is 2 and this is when they are forming their speech. they need to be able to see them outs of an adult and other kids to actually learn how to speak. the masks prevent some things. they prevent other viruses that your child needs to develop a robust immune system from getting so there we are preventing our children as well from developing that. and then i understand as well that in some of the schools they actually have police officers outside to force kids as young as 7 to put on masks, so you look at how ridiculous that is, meanwhile, all over this country we have crime through the roof, police are not allowed to do their job, you have people able to commit robberies, murders, anything, in broad daylight, shoot people, anything they want, get away with it, and these kids are being forced to
6:45 pm
wear these masks. if it is absolutely outrageous, there is no science backing this. anyone that is forcing a kid to wear a mask ought to be ashamed of themselves. >> sean: stephanie, i really feel sorry for you and you feel sorry for other parents in your situation, and what are your plans real quick -- we have some breaking news we got to get to -- what are your plans real quick if they don't in fact, you know, concede and allow your children to make the choice that you want them to make? >> well, i think in the end, sean, justice will prevail, so i'm confident that even if fairfax county were to have some success tomorrow suing the state government, i think the supreme court of virginia would have something else to say anything the attorney general's confident about that too. so hopefully in the end the suspensions will be overturned. but, you know, you don't know
6:46 pm
unless you try. >> sean: i want to thank you for being with us. >> you have to fight the fight. >> sean: lara, you are going to stay with us. we have some breaking news. a fox news alert, the president of abc has now announced that whoopi goldberg has been suspended for two weeks from "the view," lara trump is sticking with us on this particular issue. let's get your initial reaction. you know, i know what be, i will go to my points in a second, i want to get your initial reaction. >> i heard you at the top of the show, sean, say that you didn't believe that she should be suspended, and we know what the calls would be if she were on -- if the shoe were on the other foot. if it were summary on fox news, for example, who said something like this. every media outlet out there, every democrat out there would be calling for their suspension. i think you were very kind to say that. it is nice to see that people are taking this seriously
6:47 pm
because look, whoopi goldberg is a very influential person, she reaches millions of people every single day. what she said was flat-out wrong. it sounded -- maybe she didn't intend it to sound this way, very anti-semitic and very hateful, and so although she came out and corrected herself and apologized, i think it's nice for once to see that perhaps a step has been taken by an outlet that we know otherwise kind of lets people get away with these things if they agree with them politically, so interesting to see this outcome and quite frankly i'm happy to see them taking some sort of action. >> sean: let's get your take, joe concha back with us. abc, if you missed it, just suspended whoopi goldberg over her comments on the holocaust. look, i've done this my whole career, joe, and people have pressured me and some people get angry with me. hannity, you know that they would do that to any conservative, why do you say -- why do you not support boycotts, why do you never call for
6:48 pm
cancellation or firing? i said well, i think her apology is sincere. i think she's learned a lot in the process. two weeks off is the penalty, it's better than being canceled. and i just have a reflexive reaction to cancel because i don't like what somebody says, because you don't have to watch "the view." i hate to tell you, i don't watch "the view." reaction. >> are not surprised you don't watch it. you've been very consistent on this show and the transcripts show it, that you never call for anybody to be canceled, that in the past you've always said that people deserve second chances. i think that this is a good compromise in terms of what you're calling for and what others are calling for in terms of what goldberg being outright fired, right? because a suspension, at least there is accountability for her words that offended so many people. the backlash on this has been incredible.
6:49 pm
your deal goes into seven figures, so there's a business aspect in terms of not firing her but staffers were particularly upset about this commons, they felt they were batted up at her expedition last night, what made things even worse. so look, it should be underscored, the one quote that she has but i think really ticked people off is this is white people doing it to white people. so this is y'all go fight amongst yourselves. on a program or some truly bad things are said, this actually stands out and she said this isn't about race. this was hitler foster this entire insidious argument, right? germanic people are superior, therefore justified, 6 million people systematically murdered, so abc i think makes the right move here. suspend her for two weeks, show people that you care, that words do have consequences, whoopi comes back and maybe she is better for it and should be
6:50 pm
noted, by the way, also, sean, that in 25 years and having thousands upon thousands of hosts, they've had exactly two jewish cohost and not one in six years, just saying. >> sean: i look at this whole controversy though and then you can bring joe rogan back into it, lara. and in the case of joe rogan, i don't think he should have apologized. joe rogan made a decision with his doctor on how to treat covid-19 when he contracted the virus. okay. he threw everything they had at it, monoclonal, hc q, ivermectin, that was him. between him and his doctor. then he interviews the guy that was pivotal in creating the mrna technology that led to the pfizer, moderna vaccines that every liberal loves, but he would use it -- he would be more restrictive in its use for all the people, people with comorbidities, obesity, et cetera. that's one doctor's opinion and people want to shut him down and collect this information.
6:51 pm
has there anybody that has given more false information than fauci, than biden, and jen psaki, then walensky and the cdc, then the nih? the biggest missing farmers in this entire pandemic. >> and that's why no one trusts them at this point. he used to be in america the people came to the table, there was a place in public discourse where you could share ideas and you didn't have to always agree with someone's idea. or their thought or their opinions about things but at least you got to hear that, and perhaps it got you to think a little bit and i agree with you, i don't think joe rogan should have apologized it all. i don't know that he did anything wrong. and to your point, this was a doctor on there, a guy that was very pivotal in developing these vaccines and had a lot of knowledge of this subject, so if you're putting a lot of weight in someone like dr. fauci, who has proven himself time and time again to be wrong about just about everything, why can't
6:52 pm
joe rogan have someone on his show and just let this guy share his opinions? there should be no reason we have to have disclaimers. my gosh, there's disclaimers on everything in life now, so much so that no one even pays attention to them anymore. it's absolutely pointless. but it would be nice if we could get back to a place where everyone could equally share their opinions no matter their political views, no matter what you think or you don't know what their political view is, that's what america is all about. >> sean: let's go back and play whoopi's original comments that led to the suspension just announced. hang on. >> i feel, being black, when we talk about race, it's a very different thing to me, so i said that i felt that the holocaust wasn't about race. and people got very, very, very angry and still are angry. i mean, i'm getting all of the mail from folks in the very real
6:53 pm
anger because people feel very differently. but i thought it was a salient discussion because as a black person, i think of race as being something that i can see, so i see you and i know what race you are. and let's be truthful about it because the holocaust isn't about race. >> it's not about race? >> they say they are different race. >> but it's not about race. it's not about race. >> what is it about? >> it's about mann's inhumanity to man. that's what it's about. >> it's about what's a premise he. >> these are two white people. you're missing the point. you're missing the point. the minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. >> sean: joe, as i watch first, i thought it was very inarticulate that it appears on
6:54 pm
cold air, it was a sloppy attempt at cleaning up but her original comments, the snow bigger supporter in my entire career of israel than i have been. maryland anti-semitism. we better pay attention to it, because it's real and it's all around the entire world at this point. it's a real danger to the state of israel, our closest ally, in the middle east. and she recognized the evil, but did she not know the history, or did she just negate the history? she recognized evil, man's inhumanity to man. 6 million were slaughtered, millions other slaughtered. i wrote a book about evil. i wrote directly about the evils of the holocaust and how they were exterminated in nazi germany. what are your thoughts? we have a minute. >> it's not like there were exterminated immediately. they were worked to the bone to
6:55 pm
the point where they are were no longer productive in terms of working at those holocaust camps, if you've actually read about it, then they were exterminated. that's how horrible it was. whoopi goldberg's i guess study of the holocaust which have been seeing schindler's list 30 years ago. but here's an idea for people on tv in general. stop making comparisons to the holocaust. stop comparing modern politicians like donald trump to hitler, because you know nothing about how horrible it was, and when you make those comparisons, it's an insult to every single surviving family member that knows somebody who was lost in the holocaust and although jews, 6 million that were killed. that's all it got to say. >> sean: the last century we lost 100 million human souls, china, stalin, russia, hitler. fascism, you name it. a lot of people. and whoopi is out for two weeks. akmore "hannity" next. so we offer a complete exam and x-rays free
