we are out of time unfortunately. we will be back. i love that segment. at 8:00 p.m., monday, the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. we will see you monday. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> sean: hi, welcomed of "hannity," we have a busy news friday night for you. expectations for joe biden are already extremely low, but through 14 months in office, he somehow managed to even do worse than we predicted. everything now is in crisis. it was all preventable, everything, our schools, cities, borders, over safety, security, our economy, war in europe, america's abandoning afghanistan. it's day 2:30 seven and 250 days since joe biden said he would not abandon them.

here at home, millions are struggling to fill their gas tanks and heat their homes and put food on the table. but tonight, it's joe biden who is full of complaints. today winding republicans were not nicer to his supreme court nominee and he accused them of verbal abuse. take a look at this. >> i knew it wasn't going to be easy but i knew the person i nominated would be put through a painful and difficult confirmation process. but i've got to tell you, what judge was put through was well beyond that. it was verbal abuse. of the anger. the constant interruptions. the most viable basis assertions and accusations. >> sean: they pointed out the simple fact that she went easy in the child cases. that's all they did. did they filibuster her nomination? like biden did to judge janice rogers brown because he didn't want republicans to ultimately

nominate and i met an african american woman to the supreme court. did they assassinate her character in 1991 [whistle blowing] just as thomas referred to the smear campaign as a high-tech lynching and in republicans refuse judge jackson of gain -- to support those claims? you might remember this. >> did you consume alcohol during your high school years? there's never been a case where you drank so much that you don't remember what happened the night before i will part of what happened? >> in the yearbook, you talked about drinking. exploits, did you not? >> you're not a sloppy drunk, so your roommate was lying. >> from my standpoint as a black american as far as i'm concerned, it's a high-tech

lynching who in any way deign to think of themselves to do for themselves, to have different ideas. and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. you will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the u.s. senate rather than hung from a tree. >> sean: and joe biden, you let that smear against justin thomas and as far as i'm concerned, after trying to ruin the lives of both kavanagh and justin thomas, democrats have no right to complain about the treatment of any nominee for any reason especially joe biden and kamala harris who raised a witch hunt against two reputable justices. but tonight, it's not totally clear that biden remembers what happened to either

clarence thomas or justice kavanaugh. because we know that joe biden is in a very steep cognitive decline and is becoming more and more evident, more obvious, more transparent every single day. here's today's joe's video of the day. take a look. >> my name is joe biden, please sit down. i'm jill's husband. and grandfather. folks, yesterday this is not only us on a day. i mean this from the bottom of my heart. this is going to let so much sunshine on so many young women. >> meeting with judge jackson, senator duckworth introduced her to an 11-year-old -- is it vivian? vivian? i'm sorry. america is a nation that can be defined in a single word. excuse me, the foothills of the himalayas with xi jinping traveling with him, traveling

17,000 miles. i don't know that for a fact. >> sean: not only are the american people watching this, president xi is watching this, putin is watching this, king john whom is watching this the taliban is watching this. the world's enemies are watching this. this administration is nothing but a dumpster fire. you've got a president struggling with even speaking basic simple tasks and putting sentences together. the biden's indicated by the way facing a possible indictment. the vice president, well she's got her own embarrassing moments and of course, the never ending giggling at inappropriate times. gas prices at record levels. interest rates are now beginning to surge. a 40 year high of inflation, the bank of america no warning of an imminent recession.

things frankly could not get any worse, but white house staffers are now openly complaining that the media is not sufficiently touting their historic success. what success? exactly what are you talking about? they take responsibility for nothing. 20 year high of inflation, record high gas prices, a disaster leaving afghanistan not being ready for war in europe with vladimir putin. oh, energy prices that he caused because he artificially reduce the world supply. remember, the white house blames vladimir putin for everything because of the war in europe that happen under their watch. yeah, putin's a thug, a criminal, ask his committee and the troops are committing pure evil. the only response to strength, but sadly joe biden is the weakest leader that i have seen in my lifetime. so, here we are months into vladimir putin sovereign invasia

sovereign country. the scenes on the ground are hard to watch if you have a conscious and a soul. evil knows no bounds. earlier today, russian forces shelled a train station in eastern europe filled with innocent citizens. innocent civilians that were attempting to flee the war zone. you've got dozens and dozens that are now dead or seriously injured including an untold number of dead kids. but biden is still blocking poland from delivering fighter jets to ukraine? why? most of the legal aid the u.s. is sending to ukraine is happening in spite of joe biden, not because of joe biden. he doesn't even seem to care about what's exactly going on in ukraine, and he doesn't seem to care about anything that doesn't directly impact him or a member of his immediate family. according to a new poll, americans no longer think biden is likable -- by the way, for good reason.

joe biden is a low functioning, self-centered, corrupt career politician who frankly needed to retire 20 years ago. anyway, here with more from the white house is our own peter doocy. can we just go back to this explanation and this question and answer with jen psaki on covid? i will play it later in the show again. but this really gets to me. we've got nancy pelosi kissing joe biden and breathing over his shoulder for a significant period of time. but that's not considered close contact according to the cdc, peter? >> no. if i was trying to figure that out because what's closer than a professional setting like that than a kiss? but they don't seem to think she could have possibly transferred a viral load over to the president. but what we have seen all week long is that they want to talk about other stuff. covid cases are on the rise, but

they're not cases scheduled. today's the confirmation hearing, the confirmation celebration. yesterday was postal reform, and on tuesday it was remember when barack obama was president? let's talk about that. obamacare. >> sean: peter, that didn't go particularly well because joe was wandering around alone while everybody gave their attention to barack obama and even joe tapping barack on the back trying to get his attention did not work out particularly well for joe. >> i was in the room for that standing a few feet away. i was surprised that so many of the invited guests were not giving the president -- the current president -- more of their attention. >> sean: i have a criticism of your. you saw the president wandering around lonely, why didn't you go over and talk to him? >> we were further away. you know, for example, i got a little closer when i was quieter to him. the next day, i asked him are you worried about covid coming back because all around the

white house in the cap event, the congress, it's coming back in washington d.c. he said we have to get the covid funding bill done. that something else that right now it's not going to happen because congress just left for two weeks. speaker pelosi, they let congress leave for two weeks. they want to talk about a lot of other things as you mentioned, gas prices remain high near all-time highs in some places. food prices are rising, and that something that affects everybody and not likely to change anytime soon because the most basic part of food production and fertilizer comes from the black sea region. they are not getting a lot of stuff in and out of there right now. the problems are mounting. the unofficial midterm push began this week with barack obama talking about health care. he said we've got a story to tell and we just have to tell it. but the story a lot of people want to hear is not necessarily

in line with the one that they are telling. >> sean: i'm trying to understand the white house staffers who are out there berating politico for not telling all of biden successes. you cover the white house every day. i mentioned inflation, i mentioned record high gas prices because i didn't mention we ran out of covid tests or monoclonal antibodies around christmas. i did mention afghanistan, europe, the war that's broken out there. i don't see what the list of successes are. did they give you any background or detail about the things that they want politico and reporters to tell it as success? >> yeah, they give us two things they think they are when right now. they think the sanctions they put on russia and putin are working the way the world expected them to work. they think that russia getting kicked off the united nations human rights council is a win

because it's only the second time that's ever happened. that's where they want attention instead of on all the other stuff. >> sean: when i've got to tell you something, not exactly a long list because i can give yos including three vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, before covid record low unemployment. energy independence. >> there's another win they keep talking about. more jobs created than the first year of any president in history. if you want to talk about what they want to talk about, it is that. >> sean: all right, peter doocy, keeping them straight and honest. i'm kind of disappointed that jen psaki decided -- actually, she fits at msnbc, dnc, they don't tell the truth. i have seen a lie or two. like immigrants don't need to be covid tested because they will not be here long. 2:00 a.m. flights or early morning flights, peter, the question was yours. but it's too bad because it could have been a great show

opportunity. peter, jen psaki. would have been a great debate show. >> let's keep it going here in the briefing room for as long as we can, how about that? >> sean: all right, peter, thank you. return to another biden crisis, a preventable one about to get really bad. our sara carter was at the border with a situation on the ground that's concerning and this is about to get even worse than last year. take a look. >> we are using very high -- here on the plane. it is set up -- i mean, you can see a climbing amount through the national security implications. i mean, it's like looking for a needle in the haystack. i'm still concerned about how wide open the border is. how much work is placed on the state and local level and the federal government isn't backing that. do you believe there is a

national security element to what's happening here at the border and how bad is it? >> i do, and i've always felt that way prior to the predicament that we are in right now. the southwestern border is very open. you can see there's a lot of access, egress and ingress the rio grande river valley where people can come across, that's just a fact. is a very open border. if i were a country who wishes to do the united states harm, you've got to ask yourself, would you come to the southwestern border where you can literally just come across with little to no pushback? or would you go into like new york city where there is a big footprint of customs and law enforcement? the answer is, no. don't think for a minute the organizations aren't aware of what the policy is. okay? they are intel, their understanding, their comprehension of what the policies are, what policies aren't, is very good to. don't think for a second they

will not take full advantage of yet another policy of the removal of the title 42. >> sean: joining now with more investigate of journalist and reporter, fox news contributor sara carter. title 42. cdc orator for the pandemic that allows this country to return people to the country of their origin and it looks like it's going to be repealed and alreade forming to come to the border and larger numbers than last year. >> sean: much larger numbers than last year, sean. they're expecting us who know me and a wave of people coming from all over the world. i can tell you this. since this whole year, fiscal year october 22 on and on there's been over 1 million apprehensions. i was told by a senior dhs official that 600,000 got away on top of the 1 million

apprehensions that were expected this year alone. they're expecting more than 3 million people to be apprehended by the end of this fiscal year. it's incredible. i was up there with air patrol and i can tell you the things they are most concerned about are the people that are coming over the mountain with the in camo, people not want to be captured to. there were narcotics. we actually were able to fly over an area where three huge bundles of marijuana, over 300 pounds of marijuana had been left in the canyon ridge to be picked up later two people disappeared onto highway 90, highway ten, and there's resources that are limited. it's very dangerous situations. these are not people that want to be turning themselves into border patrol. these are people that are wearing camo, trying to get away, trying to blend into the environment. they are bringing fentanyl and other drugs, and very dangerous, very dangerous situations for

both our law enforcement officials as well as americans and those being traffic. >> sean: sara carter, thank you for that report. joining now, former senior advisor stephen miller is with us. we had this border under your former boss president donald trump under complete control. it was done, stay in mexico policy, built the wall and almost finished it over 500 miles. the new wall correct me if i'm wrong, and of course ended catch and release. the crisis was preventable and we can also solve the crisis by going back to the policies, but i do not see that happening with this administration. >> sean: joe biden's first week in office, sean, he ordered the rescission in the termination of almost every one of president trump's unprecedented successful policies. you pick through a few of them. after he beat back all the core

challenges, we had the most secure border in american history. there were zero discretionary releases. in other words, zero times border patrol apprehended illegal immigrants and had to release the person. it was sealed as tight as a drum. joe biden undid all of that. here's the scariest part, sean. last year saw the highest number of illegal immigrants enter the country in recorded history. my sources on the ground and border patrol say that this year puts last year the shame. >> sean: it's only going to get worse. you look at every single problem we have, all preventable, all fixable, energy independent, secure borders, the president had an orderly plan to get out of afghanistan. i truly believe that putin would not go near ukraine if donald trump was presented. in the economy was humming along and recovering nicely.

everything with covid would not have happened because he believed in work speed. joe abandon those policies. all those problems, crisis are self-induced, but all fixable. they are not to fix them. >> it's an executive order that said go back and put in place every thing that donald trump put in place, it would go away. it's a crisis of choice. they chose to us spend us into historic inflation, to leave afghanistan without the plan president trump put in place to ensure order and stability. they chose to surrender and eliminate our hard-fought energy security, and they chose to put in place mandates and restrictions that killed the trump economy and we are not back to where we were both for the pandemic after all of this time. of course as we started off with. they chose to dismantle the board of control that president trump put in place and the greatest border nightmare.

in the history of any country. >> sean: by the way, we owe you a big congratulations. you and your wife katie, i mention the last time just had your second baby. we wish you the best and we are happy for you. >> thank you so much. god bless you. >> sean: you too. with the midterms looming, reality, panic setting in for the democrats as infighting is ramping up. we will tell you what nancy pelosi really think about the squad. she doesn't particularly like them according to a report. we will explain. next. ♪ ♪ it works naturally with the water in your body to unblock your gut. free your gut, and your mood will follow. during world war two, most of the world turned a blind eye to the holocaust and hitler's atrocities. christians were slow to act and did not speak up until it was too late and 6 million jews were murdered.

socialists. it last week, nancy pelosi said in a interview with "time" magazine that she fears for our democracy if republicans reclaim the house. my fear is the opposite. panic on the left is growing, in findings getting worse. of the blame game has already started. there's a new book from new york time reporter jonathan martin and alex burns. nancy pelosi they say's taking aim at the progressives and in other words, the squad for her party's woes. one excerpt from the book obtained by punch bowl news states that pelosi's concerns that they have alienated both hispanic and asian immigrants with loose talk of socialism. the way they spoke about abortion and another excerpt reveals that nancy pelosi called out radical squad members especially aoc and others, for vying to be the queen bee. there were and may be serving

the minority after november. we also reached out to pelosi's office for comment. the spokesperson said under the speaker's leadership, house democrats have made historic progress of the american people. we are unified. also taking a shot of republicans but declined to comment on the actual quote calling it mere gossip. here with reaction, fox news contributor's tammy bruce and joe concha with us. i look at this and we know it's true. i said for the longest time that the real leader -- speaker of the house is aoc. that nancy pelosi is speaker in name only. if she loses the squad supports, she will no longer be speaker. it will be somebody else and not her. >> yes, it's just horrible whining from her. you know, she's had a reputation of being a great organizer. she's in her 80s, she's been speaker. they lost members in the last election, but the fact that

she's taking aim at the young woman who i disagree with and i think their menaces, but you've got to hand it to them. they are trying to organize people at least rhetorically and completely wrong. for nancy pelosi, to not know what to do with the highlights, the fact that they are not united, pelosi has been reduced to complaining saying that's a loose talk. they've been doing it for 50 years. led by that woman with san franciscans and liberals like her. they focused on abortion because it raises money for them. in case they need to roll over they need to rollover. it's a signal that joe biden is on the way out. she also knows what's going to happen in november. she tried to position herself strangely enough as an outsider. it won't work, but with

democrats being a mess like this for a long time and it's finally coming home and we are recognizing it. that's what she panicked about. >> sean: democrats want to have their own infighting, i kind of like other people fighting. it's better than republicans killing each other as they often do. they create their own circular firing squads at times. >> that's the thing. we don't hear much in the press about a democratic party in chaos about a civil war within the party. but it's really real. the younger energized social swing of the party versus the old -- i mean literally old guard not left enough of the squad's liking. despite controlling the house, the senate, the oval, joe biden and achieved almost nothing but considering the straight flush then he was dealt entering office. but let's be clear about why hispanics for example are fleeing the democratic party. currently pulling at 28%.

the country split down the middle on the issue, it's because of the crisis that's a catastrophe at the u.s. southern border. they are feeling the effect that's inflation like everyone else. they see what it costs an obscene amounts. filling up their tanks when they go to the gas station. the instability around the world, a commander in chief and second-in-command who are seen as weak or confused or both. the house speaker nancy pelosi know she has reached the final part as far as her career is concerned. a red tsunamis coming in november and talking 50, 60, 70 seats flipped. she will retire and her career with an approval rating in the mid-30s. more importantly, her district and san francisco, few people talk about in the press, seen record crime and homelessness. this is her legacy. she disgraced yourself by tearing up the state of the union after the 2020 address and this is someone who broke her own covid rose by getting her hair done, claimed she was set up. in the end, nancy pelosi has a

high approval rating among the press but americans with no skin in the game see her as a divisive bully that lost control of her own party behind the scenes. it turned out the lights, the parties over. >> sean: man, both of you are on fire tonight. great job, join tammy, i appreciate you as always being with us. when we come back them a more covid hypocrisy from the left and flip-flop apology. why does this man still have a job? one court is now allowing biden to hold his federal vaccine mandate. senator and dr. rand paul has the latest as we continue. ♪ ♪

federal workers will still have to get the shot even if biden's own pot medical advisor guesses the ever so wrong, dr. flip-flop apology now says herd immunity for covid is simply unattainable. meanwhile, the vaccine did not stop a widespread covid out spread among elite d.c. democrats including a two year old house speaker nancy pelosi caught on camera literally kissing joe biden just days before her positive test. jen psaki says that kids, that close encounter is not defined as close contact. it depends on what the meaning of the word is. >> how many people say that president biden was not in close contact with speaker pelosi when there is video of the speaker kissing him? >> peter, the way it's defined is by the centers for disease control, the cdc, and their

definition of it is 15 minutes of contact within a set period of time. within 6 feet. it did not meet that bar. >> sean: we wish nancy pelosi well. i don't want anybody dying or getting sick of this. i wish this thing never got here. it i think every american feels that way. what treatment will she be getting? one thing doctors agree on is at monoclonal antibodies. so far she has not said whether or not she is getting an infusion. meanwhile, the white house said that joe biden tested negative. that's good news. earlier in the day, communications director said this. >> sean: we have seen an increase of cases we know that with the variance that's transmissible. we are taking many precautions. we have taken precautions to ensure that the president is protected but it's important to note that it's possible he will test positive for cova covered at some point.

>> sean: joining us now is kentucky senator and also a medical dr. rand paul with us. let me ask you about this variance. for omicron one, ba1, the best monoclonal antibody for that particular variant. a eli lilly's version and merck's version works best on b.a. two. is not producing enough so that everyone has easy aspect to it. ron desantis opened monoclonal antibody centers and give it to floridians that wanted it for free until joe biden finally started rationing it. why did we take the one therapeutic that every doctor i talked to agrees works the best taking early. why aren't we mass-producing it? i was going to call you doctor. at doctor, senator, whichever you prefer. i would assume doctor. go ahead. >> was even worse than that it's not just production which is

controlled by the government. it's also the fact that they have withdrawn. they withdrew it because it's not working in the laboratory is what they say. in the thousands of doctors across the country are saying it still appears to be working in the clinical practice. this happened in january. the first two monoclonal's because they said they weren't working in the lab. doctors were left with no treatment and they were saying that we think it still works. this is what's going on now. this is why it's going to be a very important question for nancy pelosi. did she receive the monoclonal's? if they remove them from the market for the rest, but nancy pelosi gets them, president biden should get the monoclonal's, then we've got a real problem that there is a different standard of four democrat politicians and the regular public. i think they should leave them out there and should be developing new monoclonal antibodies, but the thing is that they're still omicron. just because most of the virus is a new variant doesn't mean the monoclonal antibodies may not work against the residual

omicron emma but also may have some carryover effect to this variant as well. i think it's premature to remove them from the market, but that's what happens when you centralize all the medical decision-making in washington which is a terrible mistake. >> i agree with you. now that we've gotten to the point where okay, people are told that they got vaccinated and they would not catch cova covered. we've got breakthrough cases. if you're vaccinated, you've got a booster in the previous infection, you can get cova covered for a second time. jen psaki's case in point. this is the one therapeutic that works. i just for the life of me cannot understand why they started rationing the one thing that was working and if they have a better monoclonal antibody, why aren't they works beating that production so that every american if they want axis will have access to it? like they had in florida? new york, even for a while? >> i promise you it would be out

there of individual doctors were making the decision. i think they made a mistake. the good news is that the death rates down by 90% and there is other therapeutics out there as well. there's pills, antiviral pills, cova covers one of the prominent ones out there >> sean: i hear you can't find it. >> it's because the government owns it. government owns anything where they can make a scarcity of anything, but you should not have the government owning all of it. i've got legislation i will introduce next week that says if something is approved under an emergency use authorization, it still can be paid for by your private insurance or your public insurance. this will create a marketplace the way we normally have for drugs and paid by your insurance in the normal way. instead of the government buying it all. when the government buys it all, it becomes one person's decision if they make the wrong decision, guess what? there is no therapeutics for anybody in the country. >> sean: you saw the images of

nancy pelosi kissing joe biden. right on top of joe biden. at that point, she had already in likelihood contracted and had been exposed to covid which means that she probably could and may have exposed -- likely exposed himself. why are they saying stupid things like we do not consider that exposure? we know that's ridiculous. >> it depends if you're a democrat or republican. when i got covid early on, i had no symptoms. i had a positive test ten days i probably had had the disease. i was no longer infectious. yet everybody went crazy because he's in the gym or here. at two democrats were positive in the same spring and had antibodies and nobody went back to look at the calendar saying where were they on this day and this day and this day? it's a double standard. the people they don't like, the left-wing media likes going after republicans, but

nancy pelosi that's not close contact. that's ridiculous. nobody in america will see that her kissing biden on the cheek. understand that to be not close contact. >> sean: thank you, i think i would rather be called dr. over senator. i don't know why. if senator sounds small b okay, dr. senator rand paul. when we come back, the slab heard around the world? slapping chris rock, guess what? the academy has just penalized will smith and i think they did him a favor. we have a full report also. the left woke agenda will infiltrate our schools in a way that will shock you. i promise you. that's next. ♪ ♪ ♪ walking on ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ ♪ some ♪ ♪ may say ♪

of this is really to separate the child from the parent and particularly the parent. that child becomes more easily for them to mold them and shape them and turns them into activists. that's actually the purpose. of course they don't care that in the process that they are life altering the lives of the children and they do not care their destroying their relationships with their parents. they don't care about any of this. the children are just a political tool and if you don't believe me, sean, they would do that to children from politics, look what they did over the last two years. they used our children, and you forever that for the entire time that children were not necessarily to mask them and not necessary to keep them out of school. in keeping them back academically and causing them mental trauma and in many cases increase suicide. they had a political objective and they were going to push

through with it regardless what the impact was on the children. >> sean: all right. taxpayer funds are being spent on gender reassignment surgery for children. then congresswoman is asking the secretary about this document suggesting the removing children from homes is on the table if parents withhold gender affirming care for their kids. now, maybe i'm old-fashioned. i think that's an issue for parents and children. if they become adults that's their decision, that's their choice. if they get to make the choice then. the idea that you would separate parents because they don't go along with this agenda or don't believe in it, or whatever reason, you're going to remove the parent and the child from the parent? are you kidding me? what country is this?

>> it's absolute madness, sean. we don't like kids driving cars until they are 16. we don't let them vote or reach the age of majority until they are 18. you can't buy a beer until you are 21. at least, legally. yes, we are going to allow minor children to decide to have life altering, gender altering surgery before they are even 18 years old? this is absolute insanity. parents should be standing up against this. it's child abuse in my opinion to be having surgery like this before your teen years old. now once you reach the age of majority, if you make the decision for yourself, i think you have the right to make that decision, but the idea that our tax dollars should be funding children who are deciding to have permanent altering surgeries like this? look, we all have kids. we have been teenagers and we know how crazy some of the ideas

that we have when we are 13 or 14 years old ending up feeling by the time you are 19 or 20 years old. it's why we don't allow minors to be prosecuted as adults if they commit crimes when they are young. we understand that the brain is still developing and we shouldn't hold young people to the standards of the same age as adults. by the way, imagine if you were saying right now, sean or rachel, i think that every 15-year-old should be able to get married to whomever they want in the country. people would lose their minds. and we're going to allow this with tax dollars in the united states? it's child abuse in my opinion. >> sean: i can't even believe we're debating the topic but here we are. thank you. it will be watching in the morning, rachel. we appreciate you being with us. more "hannity" after the break. ♪ ♪ now i'm down with rybelsus®.
