Sean Duffy, Sharyl Attkisson and Fox News contributor Ari Fleischer weigh in on 'Hannity'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Out Joe Biden tonight
continues to signal a return to
the bad old days reaching into
the recycling, then of the
Obama, Slash Clinton era fixtures to
fill out his administration.
It is already drawing some irony
from the far left, especially as
Biden Socialist doors like
Bernie Sanders and
Elizabeth Warren likely wont be
joining the cabinet.
Take a look.
What about formal rifles from
your own Party
Elizabeth Warren?
Have you talked to them about
cabinet positions?
I said we already have
significant representation on
progressives and our
administration, but there is
nothing off the table.
One thing is critical: taking
someone out of the Senate,
taking someone out of the house
and particularly a preferred
person of consequence, is really
a difficult decision that has to
be made
now. Bidens cabinet picks so
far suggest return to failed
policy of the Obama
administration
that include leaping piles of
cash on the tour of iranian
Nuclear Deal and soft on China.
Soft on Syria and much more
meanwhile, Democrats and loyal
allies in the media continue to
show just how bias they are
against Republicans, which calls
for endless investigations, even
after the president leaves
office
them. Media never met a
republican investigation that
should have been gone and a
permit. An investigation that
should have ended.
Take a look.
I think it is enough.
How much are we going to just
let pass by from this presidency,
which has come so close to
destroying our democracy more
than any other president,
and I do think there needs to be
a degree of investigation
and also a postmortem of what
happened and where they softened
and didnt hold.
Twenty may now, former
republican congressman Sean
Duffy, along with author, a full
measure of investigative
journalist, Cheryl, Atkinson and
Fox NEWS contributor,
ARI Fleischer,
welcome to you all.
Let me start with you: Wino
Sanders Wino Elizabeth Warren.
I think actually Joe Biden is
getting lucky with this.
He doesnt want them in his
cabinet
if they were in his cap and it
would be a bridge too far.
I think the turmoil that would
be created on the inside would
create a lot of strikes for him.
So we can say hes got
progressives in there, but he
really doesnt.
He says that to appease the
left, but you know the other
factor. Elizabeth Warren and
Bernie Sanders basically come
from northeastern states.
So if some governors picked
their successors,
so hes got some realpolitik
reasons not to pick them, but I
think he is breathing a sigh of
relief. He doesnt have to put
Bernie in the Cabinet
Cheryl.
Vice President Biden set a new
day in America, but you cant
tell that from some of the
cabinet picks.
It looks more like a throwback
Thursday.
What do you make of some of the
same names being recycled from
the Obama Slash Clinton days?
I think that was probably to
be expected and we could have
predicted it.
You know Trey a look at
coverage of things and if the
tables turned come, I am
certain all of so far are
getting a soft landing and most
of the media I Biden and would B
scrutinized with hostile
responses in the media. If
similar announcements made by
Donald Trump Ear. That is what
happened when he became
president.
I think we will get to see now,
as we saw in twenty sixteen, how the media
transformed itself to cover the
President Lake declared to be
uniquely dangerous, so they
announced the spending, ethics
and standards to do so.
Now we get to see how they
operate. If Biden becomes
president how differently they
operate with him in the
oval office versus how they gave
Donald Trump, the treatment they
gave him over the past four
years,
Sean, you are a formal
cross, former prosecutor, but
if investigate for a crime dont,
you need a statue and lock
someone up dont, you actually
have to have the jury, trial and
a conviction
why all the talk about
investigating President Trump
after he leaves office.
I was a better prosecutor,
Trey but prosecute Donald Trump
for what
to make America, energy,
independent and rising the
american wages
for more opportunities for
american workers,
rebuilding the american
military.
It doesnt make sense to me.
So I I think these are the
socialist, the dictators Prior
administration and prior
supporters of those
administrations and prosecute
them all.
There is nothing to prosecute
Donald Trump over.
You are right.
There is no statue, no jury
trial.
Here is what concerns me.
Joe Biden should be very
concerned about the day he ran
for president, because, if
Republicans keep the Senate
make no mistake, Republicans
will continue to investigate the
Hunter Biden Laptop
as two former prosecutors you
dont get a better smoking gun
than Hunter Bidens laptop.
We see foreign money falling to
Hunter Biden and going to the
big guy, who we know is
Joe Biden
and we will know and find out.
Joe Biden is compromised from
the Chinese
and prosecutors and
investigators love this kind of
evidence and the Senate will
have it
the one. Let me ask you a
communications question.
I think one Democrat voted for
Jeff sessions for AG and three
Democrats Bill Barr for AG.
How should the Republicans
handle bidens nominees if they
still controlled the Senate Come
inauguration day?
I am still enough of a
traditional and I believe the
President entitled to put their
team into the cabinet.
Now, where you draw a line, in
my opinion, congressman if so
far to the ideological, if they
do more harm to America than it
is a principal vote to vote, no,
the other litmus test the Senate
to pass an adult anybody who he
names to play any role
whatsoever in boosting the
dossier or give credibility to
the dossier should not be
confirmed.
That was such a dirty trick in
politics.
It let lose three years of
tumultuous investigations and
pitted one person against
another, divided our nation and
the worst kind of ways, and it
was all bogus.
So if any dividing people put up
and play any role in promoting
the dossier, I hope a Republican
will vote no
Sharyl. What do we
know about the names being
floated CIA director and
secretary of state? What was
their resume like in the
previous administration, with
serving with Obama and Clinton?
I guess it depends on who you
ask, because the fans and the
people they worked with, such as
secretary of State,
Hillary Clinton, would say they
have a great track record.
I think a neutral look would
also find some things if you
turned over the rocks here, and
so we look at Jake Sullivan in
the State Department named by a
whistle blower and someone who
worked under the Obama,
administration and official in
the State Department who named
Jake Sullivan as being one of
the people and the documents
shredded in the basement of the
State Department, Benghazi- and we
can document sorting session, was
never question about that.
No law enforcement body ever
seemed curious about it.
Nothing was ever done about it.
These are the types of people
involved in the alleged coverups
and mischief never handled or no
accountability for,
and talk about, bringing back
into government.
I think a neutral media would
examine some of this record and
be recording on it,
but I dont think you will see a
whole lot of it overall.
No, that is on the
Christmas list, but I dont think.
