'Hannity' host slams president's attempts to taking credit for predecessor's vaccine achievements
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Signature genes, as I always do
and sneakers
all right. Thank you
welcome to Hannity
tonight Joe Biden needs to pick
up the phone and I suggest call
mar a Lago and yeah bring
unity to the country, as he says
he so desperately wants and
thank President Donald Trump,
because a few moments ago, he
tried to take credit for
everything that Donald Trump did
on Covid 19
three vaccines. Thanks to
Donald Trumps, operation
warp speed,
there were already a million
vaccines being administered to
peoples arms every day, when
Biden was sworn in thirty six million
doses at already been
distributed.
According to Joe, it was the
Biden administration that
stepped in heroically saved
America from Covid 19. None of
this is true
wheres the unity Joe
im using
every power I have as president
of the United States to put us
on a war footing to get the job
done.
It sounds like hyperbole, but I
mean it war footing
and thank God we are making some
real progress now
now, because all the work weve
done Emma, we will have enough
vaccine supply for all adults in
America by the end of May
thats months ahead of schedule.
That would be
Moderna Pfizer. That would be
Johnson AMP Johnson, and that would
be her predecessor,
President Trump operation
Warp speed.
All due respect to the
president. He didnt have
anything to do with that vaccine
and had nothing to do with the
Mars Rover. Either
there you have it
Joe Biden, unity president, that
he is taking credit for someone
elses work
Joe. You want unity.
Why dont? You just think
Donald Trump,
you want us all to get along.
You say
no trump, no vaccine, Joe
stop taking credit for something.
Frankly, you have nothing to do
with
nothing,
but I do need to give Joe Biden
a congratulations tonight.
He stayed up in our past his
Betty time. After days and days
of practice,
he was able to read from the
teleprompter for almost twenty whole
minutes without making a total
full lot of himself.
The problem with this is C
Hannity. He did it, he did it
Johnny hit the baseball
good job
is that the lowest bar possible
for a president
isnt it a little kind of sad
that we even have to wonder or
even discuss it.
Its kind of sad to me
lets be clear: bidens ability
to remain lucid tonight for twenty
long minutes, shouldnt be cause
for celebration.
This is a guy who is clearly not
doing well, and the last three
weeks alone have been extremely
alarming.
That is the sad truth.
Since the early days of the
campaign we have been watching
Joe and his daily struggles,
that is, when his campaign rarely
would allow him to leave the
basement bunker. Yes rare, but
now Joe is clearly getting worse
and again what we have seen just
these past three weeks, not
tonight he practiced and
practiced and practiced, and lo
and behold he got through the
speech without fumbling the
ball.
This is the last three weeks
leading into tonight and the
hours and hours of practice
before tonight.
Take a look.
I want to
thank the former general. I keep
calling him general.
My the guy, who runs that over
there,
the vast majority of economists
left right and center from
Wall Street to the private
economic polling initiatives,
am I supposed to speak
representatives, show
Sheila Jackson, Lee Al Green
Sylvia, Garcia, excuse me, and
what am I doing here
that over five hundred I have a card?
I carry a card with me every day
with the total number of folks
who have been affected.
Okay,
so you see why Joe has gone. Fifty
days without official press
conference
thats a higher bar its going
to take a lot more practice
Biden. Administration knows the
biggest liability for Joe Biden
is Joe Biden himself.
You can spare script a
prime time address in practice
practice.
You can script the state of the
union and, let me be honest,
thats the easiest speech for
any president to you. Walk in to
applause, shake a few hands
lead a few runs. You get more
applause
more rest time, but its a
little harder to script or press
conference
thats going to take for more
practice and, of course, a
compliant news media and when
Joe actually decides to hold an
official press or so far its
longer than any president in the
last hundred years. I think
administration will probably, of
course, try to orchestrate the
entire event just like they did
the few times he did it on the
campaign trail preselecting a
handful of Pro Biden reporters
in the meantime, they gently
dont, want Joe answering any
prompter on proctor
questions.
Last three days, only one event
on Joes schedule,
just one
after Joe signed the massive
two dollars trillion Schumer Pelosi
payoff into law. Only nine percent is
emergency. Covid relief.
Take a look
got it. Thank you all appreciate it.
Thank you all appreciate it
indiscernible.
He did good tonight.
He didnt have Joe Biden or
Kamala Harris next to him.
Thats a rare thing
just to put this into
perspective. When
President Trump was in office,
members of the media mob, they
had a mental breakdown if Trump
didnt respond to Jim Acosta. At
a fake news, CNN and personality
at his insults hurled across the
White House lawn
now Joe Biden signs one of the
biggest boondoggle spending
bills that has zero basically
for emergency Covid relief,
not a lot nine percent.
After refusing to give one
single rest conference during
his entire time in office, the
media mob, barely yawns
theres a guy in the oval office,
allegedly running the country
who appears to be struggling
cognitively when the mob cannot
be bothered to do their jobs.
They are actively willfully
putting their heads in the sand.
That would be NBC, ABC Cbs,
Msdnc, fake news. Cnn.
Do any of you guys have any news
divisions at all
do have journalists working for
you are not
be honest with you and your
viewers,
if youre just a mouthpiece for
the Dnc. In other words, if you
want to be a talk, show host
im a member of the press, but I
am a talk, show host.
I have opinions. I tell
everybody up front im,
registered conservative and yeah.
I like Donald Trump as president,
because during the Trump
Administration the coverage was
a little more aggressive dont.
You think,
according to nearly all of their
coverage, Donald Trump could
into a single thing right.
In fact, they predicted the
presidents plan to develop and
distribute Covid 19 vaccines,
yes known as operation
warp speed, would be an utter
failure.
He not only got it done and got
a million in peoples arms a day,
thirty six million total, but he did it
while being impeached and tried
twice
pretty amazing. You might
remember.
I think this is just further
evidence that the Trump
Administration had no plan for
distribution
operation. Warp speed was really
just a plan to address market
failures and manufacturing and
developing and manufacturing of
vaccines.
We will have a vaccine by the
end of this year.
Is that possible? In your view?
Oh you know if another date
of Potus in Wonderland here
it is preposterous to make that
statement.
Our warning that kind of
timeline may be overly ambitious
and some have even argued its
perhaps dangerous,
coronavirus vaccine trump
says, could come of this year.
Happy talk that hes doing about
the vaccine. Experts say he
would need a miracle to be
right.
Heres. The thing you cannot
talk yourself into a vaccine,
the fastest a vaccine has ever
been produced from start to
finish, is five years
youre right,
Donald Trump did it in one and you
never give him credit for
anything.
Nothing. He does is right
that wasnt happy talk. Was it
operation warp speed, thankfully,
for the sake of the country and
the world was a huge success,
thank God for our great medical
researchers and scientists and
doctors and first responders
they did an amazing job.
We all owe them a debt of
gratitude, but there will be no
retractions, no apologies. They
will never correct the record.
Instead, they will continue to
act as cheerleaders for the.
