he basically apologized, and that is not how this game is played, it is full on media war and you do not, you don't get a break by saying i'm sorry. >> tucker: he is right. our full interview with dr. robert malone a available on fox nation tomorrow. hope you watch at. we are out of time. sean hannity right now. >> sean: tucker, what is great about him and this is what is funny to me about the left reaction to him, without his medical brilliance and his creation of the mrna technology, there would not be a pfizer vaccine or a moderna vaccine, and the people who are most critical love the vaccines. kind of bizarre. >> tucker: that guy gave money to joe biden last year so it is not like he is a product of the vervet right wing. >> sean: his technology lead to those vaccines and yet he is still criticized because he does

not exactly told him i like fauci. tucker, thank you. welcome to "hannity." tonight, president trump is absently right. the deep states abuse of power, it is very real and under joe biden it is now going unchecked, and now, we find out the fbi has acquired the single most sophisticated spying tools ever designed by man. now we are going to break this down for you. not one but two alarming new spying scandals, it will make you think twice about how you use your very own cell phone. and later, a supposedly nonpartisan biden nominee accused senator ron johnson of white supremacy, called him a white nationalist sympathizer from behind the comfort of a keyboard on twitter. well, today, the senator confronted her face-to-face. >> how would you feel if somebody just privately called you a racist? >> first of all, i would say they are wrong. second of all, i would disagree with them. and as i said earlier, but i

want to reiterate, that even in my critiques of people, i am very careful never to ascribe to the person -- >> i heard that. never criticize the person. but that's not true. what you just -- what you just testified there is false. >> sean: i will use a different word. we call it a lie where i grew up. we will play the full exchange coming up. senator ron johnson will be here with reaction. but first, we turn our attention to a chilling story surrounding an israeli technology firm, and so group, and its powerful spyware tool called pegasus. according to reports, pegasus might be the single most powerful and controversial spyware ever developed. now, once it has access to your phone, pegasus can allegedly copy your messages and your

photos, track your location, record your conversations through the microphone, even when you are not using your phone, and get this: it can even film you secretly through your own phone's camera. that's how sophisticated it is. "the new york times" recently detailed the intensifying scrutiny over the technology after evidence that "authoritarian governments are using nso products to spy on political opponents." but according to abc, this technology is frequently used abroad to hack journalists and dissidents and human rights activists, and here's what is happening in israel right now. the israeli government is now investigating -- this is a huge controversy in israel -- claims that the spyware was being used by the police against specific israeli citizens, specifically key witnesses in the corruption trial of former prime minister benjamin netanyahu. look at your screen.

some are even claiming that multiple witnesses, or actually because of the spying, are being blackmailed into testifying against former prime minister netanyahu because of data harvested from their phones using this spyware. oh, see all this information we have? say what we want in court, and guess what, it will never see the light of day. that is a massive scandal unfolding in israel, and here is my prediction. buckle up. it is not a matter of if, but it is a matter of when, spying scandals just like this will emerge in this country. here is where the story hits close to home. even though the nso group has been blacklisted by the u.s. congress department, can you guess who might have purchased a license to use this in 2019? yup, chris wray's fbi, the bureau paid $5 million for a limited license from this be 26 trooper product evaluation.

the fbi reportedly renewed the contract for another $4 million. cybersecurity experts are now sounding the alarm about what they are calling a troubling and irresponsible from the highest level of the federal government on the same fbi leadership that never held their own top brass, to this day, accountable for the biggest corruption, abuse of power scandal ever when they used that dirty russian disinformation dossier that hillary clinton bought and paid for to spy on donald trump a candidate, the transition team of donald trump, and president donald trump. now, the only difference is they will not need to lie to the fisa court to spy. this is extremely chilling, especially because director wray never held these people accountable, never cleaned up his bureau of the 1%, i have my fbi pin still up right there representing the 99% of good people that will risk their lives and obey the laws, and not abuse power, and meanwhile,

another spying scandal is brewing on capitol hill. look at this, breaking today, the inspector general for the capitol police opened a formal investigation into serious claims that republican members of congress are being unlawfully or were unlawfully surveilled by capitol police, potentially at the direction of nancy pelosi. look at this from "politico," hardly a right-wing publication, "the capital's intelligence unit quietly started scrutinizing the backgrounds of people who met with lawmakers. even republican staffers were allegedly targeted with surveillance, and that's not all. according to one g.o.p. congressman from texas, during recess in november 2021, 3 capitol police officers entered his congressional office without his knowledge, dressed like construction workers, and began taking pictures of a white board before being confronted by a staffer who is still in the office. the police then interrogated the staffer about the contents on the whiteboard, which detail the various legislative plans that

are under consideration. today on twitter, the congressman stated that perhaps his office was targeted because "well, i have been a vocal critic of speaker pelosi, the january 6th committee, and the capitol police leadership over their handling of january 6th and the death of ashli babbitt and the subsequent sham investigation." so what is really going on here? here with the very latest is the ranking member of the house judiciary committee, congressman jim jordan, along with former white house chief of staff and former congressman mark meadows is with us. you know, both of you were very, very pivotal in exposing this big abuse of power corruption scandal. all right, mark meadows, add this new technology, couple it with what is going on in israel, and how potent this is, how all freedoms can be taken away, and christopher wray, who had never cleaned up the fbi, is buying this technology.

>> well, obviously, the biggest thing, sean, that our founding fathers wanted to make sure that search and seizure is done under a particular format, and when you start to look at the ability, the technology that is out there right now, congressman jordan, it was many, many years ago, actually in the oversight committee when he was serving there, when we start to look at really what the technology is able to do, it is very, very frightening, and you mentioned prime minister bibi netanyahu and some of the reporting that surveillance is taking place there. it shouldn't happen in america, and quite frankly, we need to make sure that we have safeguards, whether it is a member's office, as has been alleged with the capitol police, or whether it is private citizens with this new technology. >> sean: jim jordan, this is a massive corruption scandal in israel, and i see the same thing here. why would we believe for one

second that the very people that knew that this wasn't a nonverifiable dossier, they knew hillary paid for it, they were warned off it numerous times, then when the sub source even told them that none of it is true, they still applied for a more fisa warrants to spy on then president trump. why would we trust them with this type of technology until they clean up their house? >> no, you are exactly right. the same fbi that spied on president trump's campaign, the same fbi that set michael flynn up four days into the administration, set up in the white house, that same fbi which we now know is spying on moms and dads that simply have the audacity to show up at the school board meeting and speak out against the curriculum, that same fbi, the leadership of it now has this amazing technology, which should only be used on terrorists. that is our concern. no one has any problem using this on terrorists. our concern is are they going to use it on us? we know what they have done to terrorists, putting a threat

tag label on parents, and i woud ask a simple question, sean, what if peter strzok had this for years ago? you know, peter strzok who said i can smell the trump supporters at the walmart. what would andy mccabe, john brennan have done with this technology four years ago? that is what is frightening and that is why we -- this is so concerning what happened, what the fbi is purchasing, and the situation with congressman nehls. >> sean: director wray, if republicans get back congress, which will play they will in november, would you start an investigation, congressman jordan? >> we've got to get to the bottom of this whole doj, fbi going after parents. i mean, that whistle-blower coming forward and telling us they are putting this threat tag designation on parents. are they going to use the spyware technology on the same parents who now have a threat tag label on them? that is something we definitely have to get on the bottom of,

and a whole other number of investigations that we also have to have. >> sean: you know, i can think of a lot of good uses. it was so bad, mark meadows, it got to the point that, for national security reasons, i supported the fisa court. but because they did not clean it up, i can't in good conscience support it any longer because they never got to the bottom of it, they never held the people responsible accountable, so the message is the deep state can pretty much do whatever the hell they want and there will be zero consequences, and there is no way this will not be used for nefarious purposes. >> well, you covered this in your monologue. you said that 99% of normal fbi personnel are honorable public servants and probably 99.9. what we need to make sure, it is some of those who have actually used the system to make a political point or actually

violated some of our civil liberties. those are the ones you are talking about that we need to make sure of, but let me just be very clear. we are on a fast pace, technologywise, that will all of a sudden enter in all kinds of dynamics that the courts have never even looked at. if you can have spyware that is actually on your cell phone that collects all kinds of data, can you imagine unseeing things that you have actually been able to collect? we need to make sure there are civil liberties are protected each and every day. regardless of that. and you mentioned of the fisa court, we need to make sure we use them just for the bad guys abroad and not on u.s. citizens. >> sean: it is a simple, basic, fundamental right, it is a constitutional right. you don't have justice if you don't follow the rules. jim jordan, mark meadows, thank you both. now let's turn our focus back to the white house, a new -- a big new plan from the biden administration.

for years, democrats, they have yearned for medicare for all, but now under joe, they are going to have to settle for something much less. a new plan funded by the hhs, they are going to distribute, joe biden's hhs are going to distribute crack pipes or free. two addicts across the country. now, the plan prioritizes "undeserved communities," keep in mind, long term addiction, heroin, crack, other hard drugs, that is pretty much people committing suicide in just a longer period of time, it will always end in misery, suffering, and death. may be the government's money would be better used to maybe open up a treatment facility and therapy to end the addiction, rather than to offer a means to facilitate the addiction. here now with reaction, host of "unfiltered," dan bongino, along with cohost of "the five," geraldo rivera. geraldo.

>> hi sean. >> please tell me you don't support this. i'm expecting the worst. about to come out of your mouth. just please tell me. >> believe me, i am not enthusiastic about this plan at all, but sean, you have to consider the fact, this is the question: do junkies lives matter? we lost 100,000 americans in the last one year to overdose deaths. fentanyl is everywhere, it is in all of these drugs. they open these two pilot locations with a safe, secure, where the junkies can shoot up. they have saved 114 lives in six weeks. it's not a pretty thing. it's awful. i hate it. and yet, what's the option, watching them overdose, watching them die in the streets? >> sean: geraldo, i gave you an option. i gave you an option. take that money, open a facility, and offer them treatment of some kind, with

trained drug counselors to stop their addiction. >> there are therapists on site, as i understand it, in the pilot locations. there is sanitary conditions. they come in with their own drugs. it is not that the government is giving them drugs. i don't like it. it's ugly. >> sean: you don't like it, but you support it. >> 100,000 dead junkies. >> sean: dan bongino. >> 100,000 people, fentanyl is everywhere. >> sean: dan. >> don't worry, sean, geraldo says they come in with their own drugs. as long as they're coming in with their own drugs, that is a-ok. geraldo, this is just juvenile. i mean, really, you constantly engage in this first order thinking stuff, you do this with immigration, too, where you never ask the question, okay, and then what? so you say, well, it is not compassionate if we stop people who are suffering at the border. and you never say to yourself,

well, and then what? what if we tell people who come in the country illegally that if you come in, we are going to make the process of coming in the country -- >> i will debate immigration with you any day. >> hold on, no, this is the geraldo model of thinking, and you are doing it again. you say, well, sean, what do you want? do you want five or six junkies to die, so we should make it easier for them to do drugs. never again saying, okay, well, then what? what happens when we make it easier to do drugs? may be more people would do drugs. that is what second order thinking entails. we have a country of two americus right now. you are an illegal immigrant, get on a plane with an arrest warrant, no problem at all, yet you show up, you show up without your driver's license -- >> you see this video right here? >> yeah, geraldo, i do. >> that video next year, that a san francisco. more people died last year from

overdoses than from covid in san francisco. >> yes. and you want to make -- >> 100,000 dead americans. dan, you've got to -- >> and you are suggesting we give crack pipes. >> i've been covering judge know my drugs since they heroin, the first one, and the crack that ce after it. >> i don't want to talk over you. so just to be clear here, you are suggesting that because these people died of drugs, which is tragic, i don't wish death on anyone, i am a believer, my faith matters to me, right, you are suggesting we should make the drug using process easier by giving the claimant to use drugs? the verdict is in. geraldo -- that make sense to you? like, how does that make sense? >> when i say -- okay, you made the point, you made the point. let me respond with one sentence. the group says they have saved 114 lives in six weeks. that is one pilot program --

>> sean: geraldo, let me ask a question. >> washington heights, they save -- >> sean: geraldo, i know you come i know your kids, you are a great father, all right? that i know about you. you are an amazing father. >> thank you. >> sean: your kid comes to you and says, dad, i'm smoking crack, you can't stop me, and i'm shooting heroin, and you can't stop me. but i can't get any clean needles. what are you going to do? >> i would die. i would bleed tears would be blood -- >> sean: what are you going to do. >> these are horrible dilemmas, sean. >> sean: and asking what would you do? i know what i would do. >> do you want the junkie in front of the school, or do you want the junk in private, where his intake can be monitored? it's an ugly situation. >> in jail. >> are not happy about this. >> sean: but geraldo --

geraldo, serious question, and then i will let let dan respond. what would you do if your child said, dad, i'm using dirty needles, can you get me some syringes? what would you do? >> i wouldn't go out and buy clean syringes, i would not do that, but what i would do is i would wrap my arms around that child and i would say, you're not getting out of my sight appear i want to do everything i possibly can to save your life -- >> sean: i know you mean that. >> this is just a desperate measure. this is a desperate measure, sean. >> sean: dan bongino. >> not celebrated -- >> geraldo, sean asked you a question, i ask you earlier about immigration. your emotions, which, you know, are laudable, are not public policy. ask you also would immigration in the past, geraldo, sean just ask you about you can. how many immigrants are you taking to your home?

it's easy to speak about emotions. i get you care. i'm not questioning the fact that you care about these people at all. i'm not. i mean that. i'm suggesting that is not public policy. public policy -- >> what is your idea? >> sean: i gave you my idea. >> force them. have done it in new york. it worked, it was called broken windows policing. it stopped the drug -- >> sean: you can't take heroin, that is the law. the laws you can't take heroin -- >> sean: i would put them in jail. >> you can't take fentanyl. >> sean: i would put them in jail and give them counseling in jail. offer them counseling in jail, get them off the streets. >> this plan eliminates -- >> sean: you know, i got to run, but one last point. we are not factoring in here people that get methamphetamine, you know, they are up for 72 straight hours, they are out of their minds, psychotic, they are a danger to society, geraldo. we don't need them on our streets, period, and we do not

need to be aiding and abetting in their suicide. i can't in good conscience do that. put them in jail, give them treatment. they are going to die if they keep doing it. jail will at least save their lives and give them time to think about something else. i've got to roll, but guys, good to see you both. straight ahead, senator ron johnson called out a biden nominee after she slandered, baselessly accused him of being a white nationalist and supremacist. we've got the tape. not going to want to miss it. and senator johnson will react live straight ahead. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> sean: wisconsin senator ron johnson today slammed biden's far left nominee for the u.s. special envoy to monitor and combat

anti-semitism. now come over her march 2021 tweet accusing him of white supremacy and nationalism for pointing out that democrats blatant double standard when it comes to violence. here is the exchange earlier today. >> how would you feel if somebody just privately called you a racist? >> first of all, i would say they are wrong. second of all, i would disagree with them. and as i said earlier but i want to reiterate that even in my critiques of people, i'm very careful never to ascribe to the person -- >> i heard that. that's interesting, you say never criticized the person, but that's not true. calling somebody a racist? a serious and file exit accusation as you can hurl at somebody, somebody you don't even know. you never talked to, you never met me, you don't know what is in my heart. do you? >> no, i do not know what is in

your heart at all. >> so why would you go on social media and make those charges? >> i certainly did not mean it, and i'm sorry if it was taken, and i'm sorry if i made it anyway that it could be assumed to be a political, personally. >> listen, i appreciate your apology and i will accept your apology. when you're being nominated and considered for confirmation to a position representing the united states, i certainly cannot support your nomination. i hope my other colleagues won't come either. >> sean: what an exchange. feeling the unity yet? this is yet another far left activist trying to masquerade as a serious diplomat with the goal of smearing, attacking conservatives. here to react himself is wisconsin senator ron johnson is with us. senator, she sent out the article and the tweet and the headline is that you are a white nationalist sympathizer.

and that is not true, but that is after you got her to admit she is very careful not to ascribe these things to people. well, last time i had you on this show, you seemed like a person, and the questions you caught her red-handed in a lie and what she said about you was even worse. so my question is, how does this person -- how do the democrats allow this person to get through? >> well, democrats have no shame. it was interesting, to start this hearing, we had majority leader, senator schumer, and talk about malicious poison, he was talking about anti-semitism. i guess the point i was trying to make him of the broader point, we have malicious poison being spewed all over the internet, and people that just routinely call people racist, play the race card all the time, i would call that malicious

poison. just under being called a murderer or a rapist, being called a racist is probably the worst thing someone can accuse you of being. she claims she never personalize this but she absolutely does personalize this and is very partisan. this new position as the special envoy to monitor and combat anti-semitism. it is supposed to be a nonpartisan position. she is a hard partisan. she lied in testimony. she said i never personalize -- you obsoleted personalize it. you personalized it against me. so i don't know how democrats can support her. i hope republicans don't. >> sean: i hope they don't. there is not one republican that should put up with this because they are going to be next, too. was she under oath in this hearing today? >> i don't think we sworn them in at senate foreign relations committee no. >> sean: that's too bad. i thought lying to congress -- what's that? >> well, if you're up for

confirmation, whether you are put up for oath as a witness or not, you need to be truthful to the american people. >> sean: you see, we are now an environment, it used to be every two years and every four years, every election cycle, the democratic playbook is republicans are xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, and transform it, dirty air and water, someone wants to put grandma and grandpa in a wheelchair and throw them over a cliff after we only feed them dog food for the last three years of their life. or cat food. that is the playbook, but it is not every two and four years, now it seems to be every day, senator. >> yeah, i started my questioning by asking her, biden's inaugural address, his number one goal was to unify and heal this nation, and she agreed, and i said, do you think a year in, is our nation more unified, are we healing, and she said i think not. and i agreed with her.

so here it is, the number one goal of president biden and his own nominee to be the special envoy agreed with me that we are not more united, we are not healing. that's a real indictment against president biden, and it is an indictment against grandma cats they are not trying to heal the nation, they are exacerbating the divide. i want to heal the racial divide, i've done everything in my life to do you do so and yet you get accused of these things, it is malicious poison that they are spewing, and they never get called on it because the mainstream media are their allies. >> sean: it's amazing, too, and i believe, you have now become the number one target in this reelection cycle by all these leftist liberal groups. people from way outside of wisconsin, i understand, and have heard, are pouring money into the campaign to oust you from the senate. and i think a lot of it is rooted in the fact you actually

take strong stands and fight for the people in your state. am i wrong? >> i tell the truth. but you are right, sean, i have been outspent so far $13 million to $1 million. 13 to one. so i will appeal to your audience, i need a lot of help save this senate seat, this country. ron johnsonforsenate.com. i need help for millions of your viewers. >> sean: you have now become the number one target for democrats to try to take out this cycle. i believe the people of wisconsin are smarter than that. senator, thanks for being with us. when we come back, joe biden of the north. that's right, justin trudeau continues to smear, slander, besmirch all the truckers standing up against these draconian vaccine mandates now impacting our country. we will tell you how. but is trudeau's own party starting to turn against him? we will talk to a live reporter on the ground and much more as

we continue. stay here. ♪ ♪ k days! cold coming on? zicam is the #1 cold shortening brand! highly recommend it! zifans love zicam's unique zinc formula. it shortens colds! zicam. zinc that cold!

♪ ♪ >> sean: all right, now more bad news tonight for biden of the norse, that will be the gutless and cowardly justin trudeau and even members of his own far left party are now starting to turn on him over his needless attempts to further divide canadians, to push oconee and covid rules. as one liberal member of parliament from quebec saying this politicization of the pandemic risks undermining the public's trust in our public health institutions. meanwhile, trudeau continues to call the truckers every name in the book. he refuses to meet with them, refuses to address any of their valid concerns about mandates, so what's it going to take for this far left failure to wake up, get off office -- and finally do what is right, talk

to the truckers, come to a compromise which would likely be you lose, and the mandate. his pathetic and spineless excuse for a leader and truckers of the world are uniting and all putting a positive impact on ending draconian mandates. they are actually following the science from john hopkins. anyway, we are seeing signs of more similar convoys developing in places like brussels, all across the european union. we have one building and starting soon right here in the u.s., and we are also learning tonight that the trucker convoy has blockaded the busiest u.s.-canada bridge that connects with detroit, that connects detroit with ontario. hey, joey, what are you going to do about that? now it impacts america. to our friends in canada, i can tell you with a high degree of certainty, and fortunately, joe tonight will be doing nothing. joey is fast asleep after he had his cup of warm milk he.

here with the full report live on the ground in ottawa, fox news' own correspondent molly line is with us. molly, the latest there, things like not one of the truckers has given in. >> they have told me that they plan to stay here until they get exactly what they want, but i can say it is quieter here than it has been for at least a dozen days. that is because a judge just issued an injunction so there is no more honking allowed but that is not stopped the rubbing of these engines and as you mentioned, these protesters, they have vowed to stay on the ground here until the covid-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions are lifted. meanwhile, late last night, there was an emergency meeting in the house of commons after the city of ottawa declared a state of emergency with prime minister justin trudeau vowing more help from the federal government, and he attacked these demonstrators. >> people of ottawa don't deserve to be harassed in their own neighborhoods. they don't deserve to be confronted with the inherent violence of a swastika flying on

a street corner, or a confederate flag. >> as trudeau aims to paint the protesters as extremists come he is taking fire from within his own party. a fellow liberal party member slams the policies of the current government under trudeau as one that stigmatizes and divides people. one conservative member agreed, as trudeau went before parliament today. >> we have a prime minister who refuses to lead and instead is being divisive. i have to agree with the mp when he says people don't know where public health ends and politics begins. canadians want their lives back. >> and protest and truckers are not only disrupting the core of the capital city, they are blocking and snarling cross-border travel as far leftt as alberta and the bridge crossing, you mentioned, prevented people from leaving michigan. ottawa mayor jim watson claims the people here are living in fear.

he has letters to trudeau and other officials asking for additional police officers, some 1800 officers attempting to "quell the insurrection." gives us a look at what authorities are looking towards here in the future on the ground. sean? >> sean: any evidence, mild income of swastikas, confederate flags, any evidence of racism or violence at all that you are seeing? >> i have not seen any confederate flags. i have not seen any swastikas. we have seen a lot of kids here today. apparently on the weekends they set up bouncy houses. seems to be a fairly family-friendly event. there are a lot of children, and a lot of families here. sean? >> sean: all right, molly, great reporting. thank you. today's press briefing, one reporter asked propagandist circle back psaki of the biden administration is investigating the truckers convoys and their funding from "right-wing forces forces" vehicle listen. >> there does seem to be evidence that these truckers are

getting support from conservative forces or right-wing forces in the u.s. are you investigating that at all, is there any kind of involvement of u.s. authorities in looking at the money flowing to the truckers? >> we have been engaged since the outset -- well, i should say come of the protest -- there have been -- in terms of an assessment of any other engagement from here, we don't really have any update on that or any investigation at this point in time. >> sean: here with reaction from a fox news contributor lara trump along with former white house chief of staff reince priebus. lara, one thing that has come out of this that i think is actually amazing, i think everybody, maybe you don't think about it but everything we buy and every store we go to, it's because of these great truckers. it is a hard life, it is a hard job. your father in law builds, you

know, big buildings. no big building can be billed without truckers trucking, so i think there is a big lesson hers even though it might result in shortages, the people of canada and the people in the u.s. have a greater appreciation more than ever before that i can see for truckers. >> yeah, well, thank you to all of our truckers out there. sean, you are exactly right. i don't think people in this country or really anywhere have appreciated what would happen if the truckers just stopped working. we wouldn't have anything. there would be no food on the shelves in the grocery store. there would be no gas. there would be nothing. everything would come to a screeching halt. that sound bite, though, that you just played there between the reporter and jen psaki i found really fascinating. the curiosity from the mainstream media about funding for something that is not even impacting us right now here in america. this is in another country, in canada. where was the same curiosity,

sean, for the funding during the summer of love, peaceful protest that we had in the summer of 2020? why wasn't the mainstream media interested at that point and who was funding the folks burning down police precincts? who was funding the people that were, you know, going out of the way to murder a retired police officer who was defending small businesses? our own vice president kamala harris, we know bailed some of these folks out of jail for committing these crimes, no interest then come up with the interest, sean, is right now, isn't that fascinating? the bottom line here is this really has nothing to do with funding. i think we all know there is immense support, you just said it, for these truckers. obviously in canada but right here in america, people are cheering them on because this is all about freedom, and the folks you're in charge in america don't want us getting crazy ideas about standing up for our freedoms in the same ways that

is happening right now in canada. that is ultimately what this is all about and if i could just comment on one more bit of that, jen psaki, having, sean, to clarify that there was no impact to customs and border patrol at the canadian border come all of a sudden, now we care about the impact to cbp? are you kidding me? for over a year the customs and border patrol on our southern border have been in a complete and total crisis situation, but don't worry about it, folks, no issue on the northern border, that apparently is the only one that matters. >> sean: so the socialist -- that joe is, reince, no different than a socialist -- in this country because he uses the same lying rhetoric. you heard molly line. no confederate flags, no swastikas, no violence whatsoever, and trudeau just lies through his teeth. that is what republicans here. >> and your segment just before us with ron johnson, you come up

with an accusation, you're just a racist, wait a second, now you want my approval for a senate approved position with the biden administration? look, trudeau, biden, democrats, number one, they have missed the wave. the reality is this was really about public safety, they missed it. omicron is on the downfall. 80% of canadians are already vaccinated. democrat governors across the country are ending mask mandates. they are just standing up for some principle that they think stands for their idea of some fake democracy that they are fighting for, which it doesn't. secondly, you know, these democrats, trudeau and biden, they are the first ones to say we are standing up for these working-class people. they have a right to protest except when it is a right to protest against something they don't like, like masks and vaccines. and the last thing, what really struck me about that psaki

response was here they go again, the democrats and biden, listen for it, they are talking about weaponizing the doj again to investigate so-called right-wing groups that are funding these freedom fighting truckers, right, just like they weaponized mueller, they weaponized russia gate, weaponized loretta lynch and bill clinton, they weaponized eric holder, and they blocked fast and furious. they have been doing it all the time. on our second day at the white house, sean, i will wrap up with this, we had the fbi down the hallway. can you imagine trying to run a west wing when you have to go hire a criminal defense lawyer on the third day, the fbi questions about complete garbage that lead to nothing, by the way, your viewers know me, has nothing to do with any of that, and neither did anyone else, but we had to deal with it, and this is a way the democrats and fight and operate.

>> sean: am a double standard can't be any more clear, and lara and her family know all too well. thank you, reince, thank you, larry trump. when we come back, is sarah palin about to crush "the new york times"? things are not looking too good for the times in court. we will explain next. ♪ ♪ every year, workers' comp would jump 15, 20 percent. and that's where i was struggling as a small business. i'm very happy that i moved over to pie. i can grow my company, while not breaking the bank. ask your agent, or get a quote at easyaspie.com.

>> sean: big developments in the defamation case with sarah palin. it was an editorial that tied palin to a mass shooting in arizona where former congresswoman gabby giffords wa seriously interpreted tonight during the trial, their editor testified i just relied on information put together by other colleagues.

i was under pressure under deadline pressure, which led to the error. he admitted ultimately it was his fault. following this case closely. e-mail remember the times falsely accuse me multiple time that i was responsible for coronavirus tests including a man who died after taking a cruise in early march of 2020. my lawyers have already sent th new york times preservation letter. they have never given a retraction. they never issued an apology. me and my lawyers are watching this case very closely. it is a very high standard to prove malice. then the new york times sulliva case, what do you think the odd here, and i think palin would appeal to the supreme court if she didn't. >> it's an uphill battle, but she said if she loses she will go to the supreme court and wil get a friendly audience there.

parents thomas is on record saying that back in 1964 the actual malice standard was conjured up out of thin air by the supreme court and it bears no relation to the first and 14th amendment. it's an ironclad subsidy for th publication of falsehoods. they are both right. and you know, we learned today, incredibly irresponsible and reckless, the new york times, this guy james bennett safely inserted the. second of all, they did so unde deadline pressure. there was no venting. there was no fact checking. finally he refused to apologize to his readers. he said you know come apologies are extremely painful to our journalists. >> clay, let's get your take.

>> how often has the new york times made an error in your favor? and the reason why i bring that up is think about all the thing that they have written about donald trump. the new york times, the washington post, cnn, msnbc, they never falsely reported tha he saved a puppy. every single error they made associated with donald trump, and i bet associated with you, and i bet associated with sarah palin is from the side that you guys are evildoers. so i think what we need here is the overall concept of the failure of the new york times committed they are at fault here , but i think the big picture is are you going to create a dynamic or conservative , the media is even more under fire. >> sean: we need new libel laws, this case is important. thank you. more hannity straight ahead.
