| Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour. | |
| All right, News Roundup, Information Overload Hour, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-SEAN. | |
| You want to be a part of the program. | |
| Let me go back to this issue because it keeps coming up and everybody's talking about it because Jen Psaki just refused to outright deny that Kamala Harris might be considered as a Supreme Court nominee. | |
| Now, Jen Psaki, the chief propagandist of the White House, was asked about this by Peter Alexander and Peter Doocy. | |
| And here's her response. | |
| Is there any scenario in which the president would select his vice president Kamala Harris for the Supreme Court? | |
| Again, I'm not going to speak to uh any considerations, preparations, lists, um, and as we've stated earlier and you heard the president say, uh, it is there's a long history of Supreme Court justices determining when uh they may retire if they retire and announcing that. | |
| Uh and we're going to uh that remains the case today. | |
| Thank you. | |
| When you were asked about the place president possibly being selected as a Supreme Court nominee, you say you're not gonna speak to any considerations. | |
| Does that mean she is being considered? | |
| Uh again, Peter, I'm not going to speak to uh the reports of a Supreme Court justice retirement that hasn't been announced. | |
| So theoretically, would someone who's Theoretically, I do like that you preface it. | |
| I appreciate that. | |
| Just wondering, hypothetically, theoretically, uh, would someone who was uh an attorney general of a large state and who served with many key Senate votes be an attractive candidate to the president for an open Supreme Court. | |
| I see what you did there, Peter. | |
| But uh the president has every intention, uh, as he said before, of running for re-election and for running for re-election with uh Vice President Harris on the ticket as his partner. | |
| Uh but again, I will just reiterate uh that uh I have nothing more to offer in terms of specifics or information on the reports this morning. | |
| All right, with uh response now, we're joined by Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust. | |
| And by the way, they have done all the research on all these groups on that were bullying Breyer into retiring. | |
| Remember reports yesterday, he was furious that he did not get to announce himself his own retirement. | |
| Uh anyway, Americans from Public Trust demand justice of radical liberal dark money group intent on overhauling the federal court system as many alumni, including Jen Saki and the Biden administration. | |
| So there's an there's an underbelly to this story, and anyway, Fox News.com had an article about it, and it is inside Biden White House's ties to dark money group seeking to pack the Supreme Court. | |
| Here with us is Caitlin Sutherland. | |
| Caitlin, you want to break this all down for us? | |
| Hi, Sean. | |
| Thanks for having me on. | |
| Uh yes, uh, you know, demand justice, as you said, is a massive dark money group that just spent the last year bullying Justice Breyer into retiring. | |
| Uh, And as we know now, their efforts finally paid off. | |
| And before that, they spent months bullying Diane Feinstein into stepping down from judiciary. | |
| And guess what? | |
| She did. | |
| And before that, they spent tens of millions of dollars opposing Trump's picks for the Supreme Court. | |
| So this group is going to be a major player, demand justice that we all need to be on the lookout for over the next few months over this Supreme Court vacancy. | |
| Well, it's going to be well, how is it possible that Breyer didn't get to make the announcement himself? | |
| Who jumped the gun? | |
| Do we know? | |
| You know, that's a great question. | |
| Uh but you know, we don't know necessarily where it came from, but we do know that demand justice has insiders in the White House. | |
| As you just stated, Jen Saki is a demand justice alum. | |
| She is now the White House press secretary, and the point person for judicial nomination that is shepherding this process with President Biden also worked for demand justice. | |
| So when you have two key alums of demand justice now working in the White House, whose former employer just spent the last year bullying Justice Breyer into retiring, you know, it does raise some questions. | |
| Well, it raised a lot of questions. | |
| Now, what about this whole issue that that race and gender will be the two factors as promised in the campaign by Joe Biden and selecting a replacement for Breyer? | |
| You know, I think that's also something that you know we need to be, you know, on the lookout for, particularly as who is driving election of who's going to be on the Supreme Court. | |
| Is it going to be something that outside groups are demanding of President Biden, or is he going to make this pick independently? | |
| You know, we already know that demand justice has a short list of who they want to see on the Supreme Court. | |
| And with insiders in the White House, you know, demand justice that is driving the pick when it should be the other way around. | |
| Uh, we know that they want to overhaul the Supreme Court uh and radically change uh the judicial branch. | |
| So we need to be concerned about who they want to be on the Supreme Court. | |
| Well, we're gonna see. | |
| Um, do you see any names that pop out of you as as likely potential uh top picks by Biden? | |
| Well, yeah, I think that uh, you know, we have seen uh several names circulating. | |
| Uh, you know, I think the the front runner that everyone uh has been speaking about in the news uh is Judge Jackson, uh will be very interesting to watch. | |
| Um, but I would definitely always take a look at the shortlist that demand justice has prepared of who they'd like to see. | |
| And if you can see the revolving door between who demand justice wants to see on the Supreme Court and then who Joe Biden ultimately selects, you know, that's just not the way that this process is supposed to work. | |
| And when you have insiders in the White House leading point on judicial nominations, you know, they are doing the bidding of their former employer. | |
| So you rightly pointed out, I saw a comment that you had made in a Fox News interview that they want to obviously pack the court. | |
| You said add seats to the Supreme Court. | |
| We know that. | |
| They want to add term limits for justices, they want to overhaul it and swing not just the Supreme Court, but every level level of the judiciary, uh, so it would be more progressive. | |
| And anyway, so and Jensaki worked as a communications consultant for demand justice. | |
| Uh why should people be nervous of this group? | |
| I've never heard of them. | |
| Well, they should be nervous because they are a massive dark money group that has shown they've been very effective in to getting what they want. | |
| As I said, they just spent the last year bullying Justice Breyer into retiring and it worked. | |
| They spent months bullying Diane Feinstein to step down from the judiciary and it worked. | |
| If they get their way and who they select on the next Supreme Court for a lifetime appointment, that person could be doing a lifetime appointment of this group's bidding. | |
| And they only want liberal and left-wing judges on the Supreme Court. | |
| For something that's a lifetime appointment, we need to be concerned. | |
| Well, I agree. | |
| I don't see a strategy for Republicans with a 50-50 split, do you? | |
| You know, it certainly is going to be challenging, but the more that we can raise Awareness to what demand justice is doing. | |
| And the insiders in the White House who are leading point, you know, we need to be aware of what this group is mobilizing to do. | |
| As I said, they bullied Just Justice Breyer into retiring. | |
| Now they are mobilizing to get their way in the Supreme Court vacancy. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, we really appreciate your insight. | |
| Caitlin Sutherland, thank you, executive director of Americans for Public Trust, 800 941. | |
| Sean, you want to be a part of the program. | |
| Uh Kim is in Idaho. | |
| Kim, what's going on? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| Hi, Sean. | |
| I just want to let you know that I just love you, and thanks for taking my call. | |
| I have a couple questions. | |
| I am curious as to why Biden isn't being tested for his cognitive capacity. | |
| And who, if anyone, is in charge of initiating that test? | |
| Well, I mean, you're asking a really good question. | |
| Uh obviously, I think the public at some point is uh I I I see now what I we were way ahead of the curve. | |
| Let me start there. | |
| We've seen this from the beginning. | |
| More and more people, plurality of people now see what we see. | |
| And the bottom line is very, very simple. | |
| And that is that if more and more people see and feel that he's not mentally up to the job, doesn't have the mental awareness, cognitive strength, ability, but the hardest job in the world, arguably, then I think people are gonna start thinking it's time for him to step aside. | |
| And I do I want that to happen? | |
| No. | |
| Is it is there any chance that you know potentially he can start recovering, getting better? | |
| Yeah, of course there is. | |
| I believe in that. | |
| Um, but to me he's getting progressively worse as we've seen now in the last two weeks alone. | |
| So the answer is now now what happens if he does step aside uh or is pressured to step aside. | |
| Well, then Kamala Harris is the president, she'll pick, you know, the vice president. | |
| Uh we're still in the same position in terms of the midterms. | |
| We've got to win them to stop this radical agenda. | |
| And in 2024, it's anybody's guess which way this is gonna go, right? | |
| Mm-hmm. | |
| And then also, um, like when he you know made his big blunder on the news, you know, when he was doing his little speech, and he gave Russia basically the green light that said, you know, if they only do a minor incursion, that's okay. | |
| I mean, isn't that inciting war for the most part? | |
| Um in a sense it's given his blessing towards it. | |
| Um, you know, it's interesting because people are trying to say that somehow conservatives are upset that he's not being tougher with Russia, and the response was, well, let me let me put 8,500 troops on a higher state of preparedness, which is laughable to me. | |
| I mean, you know, Putin's got anywhere between a hundred, hundred and fifty, two hundred thousand troops already on the border with Ukraine. | |
| Uh he's got ships at sea, he's got land, sea, and air all dominating of Ukraine. | |
| He can go in at a moment's notice and he will take over. | |
| There's there's no way the Ukrainians can really fight back effectively. | |
| Now, is Joe Biden uh or the United States are they going to take Ukraine's side and get involved in a military conflict with Russia? | |
| No. | |
| Do I want them to? | |
| Absolutely not. | |
| But I do think the most effective thing that Joe Biden can do is he's incapable of doing because he is literally at the mercy of of the radical left that runs his party. | |
| The best thing to do would be to compete in the world market and outproduce Russia in terms of energy and provide that energy to all of our NATO and Western European allies. | |
| If we do that, that will then prevent Russia from getting rich again and Putin from having the the even the wherewithal to think about any type of minor incursion or military effort into Ukraine or anywhere else. | |
| Now, some might say, Sean, what do we give a flying rip? | |
| It's Ukraine, it's Russia. | |
| Well, if we if you if you don't understand the geopolitical consequences and potential consequences of allowing a hostile regime to just run roughshod and take over this country, and then this other country, China takes over Taiwan, and you know, you've got yourself a prescription for a potential down the line where it becomes more like a world war situation. | |
| And then you have new alliances built, the countries that are now taking over sovereign countries, they align together, and and then free countries of the world begin to realize uh uh we may be next and then you got yourself a potential for a real conflict which is possible now if you don't believe me go back look at the history of of the last century where a hundred million human souls are dead in the name of government wars oppression communism fascism Nazism you | |
| name it it all happened and don't think it can happen in our time sadly I think it can anyway uh glad you called all right back to our busy phones uh let's get to Bob in Texas Bob you're on the Sean Hannity show glad you called uh thank you Sean and I teach uh government and politics here at the Friday night lights uh school you know the Mojo Birmingham in West Texas and uh we've got some great students as most schools do and they're mostly seniors and they're pretty smart. | |
| And yesterday we were discussing, because I always open up the class with a current event, you know, and we were discussing the United Nations, the U.N. And it occurred to me that I haven't heard anything from the U.N., you know, on the Russia-Ukraine crisis. | |
| So we looked at their Web page. | |
| And what do I see on their splash page? | |
| It's articles about, you know, digital currency, can't abandon Afghanistan, love and condoms, you know, sustainability, everything but the crisis. | |
| And I looked at their mission statement again because, you know, maybe it changed since I studied the U.N. many years ago. | |
| No, maintain international peace and security, uphold international law. | |
| So, Sean, last time I looked, an aggression from one country against another, well, that's not too kosher for international law. | |
| That's against international law. | |
| So I think that they ought to, you know, get off their duff there at the U.N., at least the Security Council members, of course, the five. | |
| permanent ones include China and Russia so you know there's no there's no uh surprise that they're probably not talking about this but uh in order to put some teeth into their organization they're gonna have to come to grips with this sooner or later. | |
| Well you know I just don't trust foreign countries world organizations I'm not a fan of the UN I'm not a fan of the WHO um I think everybody's got their agenda I think the fact that we end up paying the bulk of monies even for NATO way more than we should be paying other countries need to step up you know it's it's in their backyard. | |
| It impacts them the most you know Vladimir Putin you know there's estimates that came out a barrel of oil may cost a hundred and fifty bucks a barrel. | |
| Well that's gonna have drama a dramatic impact on the world economy and if you think inflation is bad now well if the price of oil doubles again or triples uh you're gonna be paying eight dollars a gallon just to fill up your tank and Americans can't afford that. | |
| Yeah listen I'd love to be an isolationist and I do not want any foreign conflict or wars and let me be clear we're not gonna go to war with Russia and we shouldn't but there are things that we could do that would be highly effective the single most effective thing we could do is we can rip out you know the underbelly of the Russian economy and outproduce energy and and make sure it gets in the hands of those people that need it the most that so they won't be beholden to the likes of Vladimir Putin. | |
| Anyway, 800-941-SHAWN, our number. | |
| We'll get to your calls next half hour. | |
| We'll be right back. | |
| them accountable Sean gets the answers no one else does America deserves to know the truth about Congress 800 941 Sean you want to be a part of the program uh so much to talk about today so much going on. | |
| Anyway a lot of good callers today and a lot of good callers always let's go to uh Pam is in Ohio Pam I'm reading on my screen that you are a farmer is that true well my husband's the farmer but yes and I'm sure you probably help him how big a farm you have uh he has several uh a couple hundred acres and he also raises cattle uh okay that's really cool that's awesome do you like that life? | |
| We love it it's just the best it couldn't get any better. | |
| All right, let me ask you. | |
| Because there are days when I'm you know in a total Adam Shift storm of some kind. | |
| I wonder to myself, you know what, maybe I should have a farm. | |
| Maybe I should be have a beer rancher. | |
| Maybe I watch too much Yellowstone. | |
| I have no idea. | |
| I love it. | |
| Oh no would I get bored or would I get used to it? | |
| You know what? | |
| You would not get bored at all because every day, you know, you've got to keep it going. | |
| You've got livestock to take care of. | |
| They've got to be fed. | |
| You've got to make sure if they need any help from the vets um you know when it comes to your crops you work daily um you know in between after you plant of course you have some downtime you have to you know maybe go and do some things in between to get to harvest so you have a a full blown schedule again. | |
| But my husband is retired from uh the job he had 30 years so he worked at uh a company plus he farmed and um even being retired he's he's not bored. | |
| I mean there's always something to take care of. | |
| Well you know I just tell you it's just is an amazing life. | |
| You know it's it's kind of funny for those of us that grew up I got grew up in suburbia and and I grew up and I went to the grocery store and I you know you see all these incredible fruits and vegetables and products and you know anything you want you can buy and it's in the store. | |
| Most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about all the hard work that goes into producing all of that food that we love to consume because I like to eat and it is a lot of hard work. | |
| And it's amazing how technologically advanced farming has become and and ranching has become and how efficient farmers can be. | |
| And I have farmers call this program for example everyone's telling me the price of fertilizers through the roof and they're wondering why they're paying more at the grocery store and I'm like well the price of fertilizer is much higher and I'm like number two it costs more to ship everything because of Joe Biden's economic and energy policies. | |
| Well you better believe it my husband is um already starting to buy some fertilizers that's cost now because of the increases we've been for warm that could come and there seems like there's no end in sight. | |
| There's also the possibility that a lot of these um chemicals they will not even be able to purchase they will not make it you know to the states evidently um so yes I think it's it's kind of odd how all of this is happening um of course with the Green New Deal in the background of everything that they want to accomplish um it really makes you wonder if the if all of this isn't part of their plan. | |
| What do you mean by plan? | |
| Well I honestly think that okay let me give you an example we have a farm there if there's a farm near a town uh close to us 700 plus acres it was bought by uh well we were told Bill Gates in the beginning and then uh then to a uh firm that purchased it later on it's they came in they wiped down all of the trees, | |
| the houses they cleared the land and we've been told it's going to go into um a solar farm and so I believe that part of them part of what they're doing I think is trying to take down the American farmer who um it doesn't look at their green deals being part of their daily life. | |
| It's almost impossible that we we see it as almost impossible to get to so it's sort of like an assault. | |
| In other words if you don't have the energy to to do the things you need to do that in other words there's a there's an art there's a science I mean there are agric agricultural colleges that that teach the most efficient farming technologies and methods that are out there and available and the equipment by the way that they have over the years developed is is actually amazing to make your job not only easier but enables you to produce so much more food than than in prior years and decades. | |
| Do I think that this would be more burdensome regulation that would impact farmers? | |
| Yeah it could it could absolutely destroy the farming. | |
| Exactly I I believe that will yeah of course it could I think it's um my husband will ask how do they think we're going to charge that tractor out in the middle of the field when the batteries you know are drained um there are they're gonna put us charging stations out in the middle of the fields you know um i it's just crazy. | |
| We just we don't understand it. | |
| Um we don't we don't know why they want to take the American farmer down, but I think that's all part of it. | |
| But I think that the Biden administration is doing anything they can do to take anybody down um that loves this country. | |
| And w we see it in all kinds of aspects and the border. | |
| Open borders, two plus million is what we've heard so far, thank God for Fox's drones that are out there showing us the truth about what's going on. | |
| When you have young men that look like they could get in the ring and box with you, seriously, and they're calling them children and they're releasing them in the different cities in the middle of the night. | |
| Why? | |
| What are they up to? | |
| You know, what do they what are they planning to use those immigrants for? | |
| Um and Nancy Pelosi she'll say it's all about the children. | |
| Well, what are they doing with those little children that came over the border unsupervised? | |
| Some of the stories were horrible. | |
| Is our government promoting you know uh child sex? | |
| I I don't understand. | |
| No, I don't think I got that I think they want they support illegal immigrants. | |
| I think there is a calculation that has been made that you know, if they offer something of great value to people, uh it doesn't matter where they come from, uh it's called amnesty and citizenship, uh, that they'll be rewarded potentially for generations to come. | |
| Um I believe in immigration. | |
| I'm I'm the product of immigration. | |
| My my grandparents came from Ireland. | |
| I don't care where people come from, but I want them to do it legally. | |
| And and that's all there is to it. | |
| And you know, to have open borders and pick and choose what laws you're gonna obey and what laws you choose not to obey and to aid in a bet and law breaking, which Joe Biden's been doing, is something I never thought I'd see in my life. | |
| It's it's an enormous cost on the American people. | |
| Uh people need food and shelter and health care and kids need the education when they're here. | |
| Um they won't even allow allow us to deport in sanctuary states and cities uh illegal immigrants that spend time in jail when they get out of jail. | |
| They're protected. | |
| They're not handed over as the law requires to law enforcement for deportation. | |
| So it's uh, you know, once you get to this is what Levin always would call the post-constitutional America and the rule of law is meaningless, and that would include, you know, uh uh dual justice under the law, we don't have equal application of our laws, we don't have equal justice under the law, um we don't enforce the laws that we don't like. | |
| All of this is it's very, very dangerous to this republic. | |
| You know, they talked about all the danger of Donald Trump. | |
| What they're doing is extraordinarily dangerous. | |
| If they don't like immigration laws, they ought to change it. | |
| They're not gonna. | |
| Pam, God bless you and your husband, you feed us all. | |
| We don't say thank you enough. | |
| You don't get enough credit for all you do. | |
| And um it's an amazing, amazing service that you provide uh the rest of humanity, and we thank you for it. | |
| Well, we thank you. | |
| All right, thank you. | |
| All right, Ben in Georgia has a disagreement with me. | |
| What's up, Ben? | |
| How are you? | |
| Hey, son, love the show. | |
| Uh agree with you almost every every time. | |
| Get to the butt. | |
| But uh I disagree with you on uh on Governor Kemp in Georgia. | |
| I think he's the best candidate to beat Stacey Abrams this year. | |
| Uh I think he's the most conservative governor we've had, maybe ever. | |
| Um, and has been incredibly effective in everything that that he's done, whether it's um you look at protecting life or the elections reform that he did last year. | |
| Um he's kept business open during the pandemic, uh tax refunds, uh going after critical race theory. | |
| Uh I I think Well, listen, I like David Purdue for that position. | |
| Um I I didn't like, and I'll be very specific, the consent agreement after the the Georgia Democratic Party, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. | |
| Uh they sued the state of Georgia. | |
| This is, you know, I I I I believe groups involved with Stacey Abrams were involved in this, and they got this consent agreement, and it created the dual standard, for Example on signature verification. | |
| I know the the legislature has strengthened the election integrity laws in Georgia. | |
| I don't think they've gone far enough. | |
| I think they've they've got to have that database applied equally to voting in person and mail and voting in Georgia. | |
| That does not exist yet today. | |
| Uh nor do I feel that they handled the election right and on a lot of fronts. | |
| Uh like a lot of states, Georgia has a law that says partisan observers get to watch the vote count start to finish. | |
| That didn't happen. | |
| Nobody seemed to care in the governor's office or in the Secretary of State's office. | |
| That's my observation. | |
| Um I know David Purdue, and and I think he and Hershawker are two phenomenal candidates. | |
| Uh but we can sometimes agree to disagree. | |
| It's not a problem for me. | |
| No, not same here. | |
| I I just uh I I want to see a united Republican Party in Georgia and in twenty two and after the primary, everybody can unite around the winner. | |
| Whoever it happens to be, the poll yesterday showed Kemp was ahead, so that probably makes you happy. | |
| Who whoever's the best candidate to beat uh Stacy Abrams, and I think uh it's it's Kemp, especially in the polls right now, but he's got the best. | |
| We'll see. | |
| I think I think Herschel has a phenomenal chance to beat uh Raphael Warnock in that race. | |
| I think it's gonna be a a hard race. | |
| Um I think th I think Georgia, like other states, has shifted more blue than in the past. | |
| Um I d I kind of agree Republican infighting is an ideal, but I think there's some justified reasons for David Purdue primarying Kemp, uh some of which I explained. | |
| There are others that I have. | |
| I have nothing against Kemp personally, and I don't even know the guy. | |
| I talked to him um, I think maybe at once. | |
| I don't uh know him. | |
| I've never spoken to Rasenberger and I I don't know him. | |
| Um but we'll see. | |
| Uh it's gonna be interesting. | |
| Um Amanda in Wisconsin, what's up, Amanda? | |
| How are you? | |
| John, just some comments about Ukraine and Russia from experience of me actually going there. | |
| And I do have a uh a very good friend of mine who's an American citizen who is married to a Ukrainian man and they currently live in Ukraine and they have for 17 years or so. | |
| And just some input from the time that I've spent there and talking to them, um they feel that uh the American media is really blowing up um in their words the um the border crisis uh with Russia. | |
| Um they said that uh Putin has done this many times before and it hasn't been quote advertised. | |
| Um and they said that they feel that uh Biden perhaps is uh trying to bring himself out to be a savior um of look I I beat Putin and I did it. | |
| Um they feel that there's a huge divide between Eastern and Western Ukraine, and that was very evident, and I've been there five times from um since 2015, and it's completely evident um East versus West, and they've had this war going on since 2014, and I don't think that some people understand that there's still a war going on there. | |
| It hasn't stopped. | |
| And Putin is after resources. | |
| Eastern Ukraine has a tremendous amount of natural resources. | |
| And if he can get the use eastern part of it, um eventually he probably could get the western part of it. | |
| But at this point, my friends, they aren't leaving. | |
| Um they have no intention to leave. | |
| They're in the western part. | |
| I've been to two places in the eastern part of Ukraine, um, seen the difference between East and West. | |
| And um I don't necessarily agree with with them as far as Putin's plans because um uh frankly, I think he's just evil. | |
| And um he has a plan and there's always something that he's up to. | |
| Um I do think he's gonna be able to do that. | |
| He could definitely be doing this as a means of extracting um concessions from the West. | |
| NATO, America, you name it, that that definitely can be part of it. | |
| I agree with that. | |
| It could be a head fake. | |
| Um as far as money goes, I can tell you, I I highly doubt that any money that the US has given to Ukraine has actually gone towards anything meaningful to the Ukrainian people. | |
| Um it's highly corrupt. | |
| I know that was one of the first things that many Ukrainians told us when we my husband and I went there the first time in 2015. | |
| They were uh it's corrupt. | |
| I mean, and that's the joke. | |
| We go there and like corrupt, you know, we just say it because they know that it's corrupt. | |
| And if they can get and like I said, if Putin can get, you know, step in on the east side, and I mean he wants a clear path to the sea. | |
| I mean, that's that's huge. | |
| That's humongous. | |
| And the Western side of Ukraine is very um nationalistic, and they are gonna put what put up more of a fight than the eastern side has. | |
| And if you go back in history and look at Ukraine, they have always been, I'm sorry, they've been weak. | |
| They've been weak and they have rolled over. | |
| They'll roll over again. | |
| They don't have the military might to fight back, in my view. | |
| All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today. | |
