Takes over right now, thank you. Welcome to Hannity. Here we go again for the second time in as many years to Februarys in a row, Democrats conducting a trial to impeach and convict Donald J Trump, who is president in exile according to Jim Acosta, and while the first unsuccessful charade was pretty terrible, the sequel is even worse, coming up tonight a lot of analysis and we will get reaction. Senator TED Cruz is here. The presidents attorney had a great day today. In my opinion, he will join us for an exclusive interview. First, I would like to start and lay out the arguments that I think I would make. If I was there today, the U Dot S Senate kicked off what could be a lengthy, dramatic Senate trial against the former president and all means absolutely nothing. We can start there as the outcome is already predetermined,

because we know President Trump will be acquitted in the two thirds of the: U Dot S Senate to convict. Forty four senators now have already voted twice to stop feeding, because it is unconstitutional for the Senate to convict a private citizen and by the way they dont even have jurisdiction on a private citizen. You cannot remove somebody from an office. They no longer hold. What we are witnessing on Capitol Hill is a complete and total waste of taxpayer time. Your time, your money, your resources. This will solve nothing, improve nothing. It will not make your life better it anyway and will not unite the country. Like Joe says he wants to do. It will not ease tensions in the Countrys and will not create a single job will not provide necessary, covert relief and a more organized distribution of the Donald Trump vaccine. Other words operation warp, speed,

democratic governors are messing it up in state after state. This charade only serves the Democratic Party and their obsessive need to impeach Donald Trump and avenged the results of twenty. Sixteen they never got over it. They never will get over. It. Take a look that could be seen as an impeachable defense, impeachable offense impeachment thats an impeachable offense impeachment grounds for impeachment. An impeachable offense if thats, not impeachable, I dont, know what is grounds for impeachment talk of impeachment. None of us came to Congress to impeach a president and that we have to do our duty by the way thats. The short version whats happening in the Senate is sewer, swamp, theater,

its complete with hysteria, hyperbole and, of course, the rank hypocrisy. Of course, the Democrats conducted the snap impeachment in the house without taking the time to gather evidence, build a case, allow for due process a defense or even a rudimentary investigation. They are now short on something called facts that this is why you dont rush to judgment thats why we have due process thats? Why a snap impeachment is so dangerous to this country. They claim the president incited an insurrection, their new favorite word because of his insightful remarks on January six, but now, according to every major media outlet and the FBI and court documents and even AOC, the capital breach was predetermined, preplanned, plotting planning, scheming by violent agitators while way before the President ever spoke at the rally days and weeks before.

How do I know the mob and the media even have to admit it? Take a look: the investigation into the deadly insurrection at the? U dot S capitol a week ago and new evidence that it was planned, also shocking, new reporting that the FBI received a very specific reporting before the riot. For some reason, security wasnt stepped out there to meet the challenge up that that attack would oppose the FBI, admitting it had intelligence before the insurrection that people were planning to travel to d dot c, with the intent to cause violence. One week before the insurrection, I started to get text messages that I needed to be careful and that in particular I needed to be careful about the sixth. According to Forbes, it was planned openly online for weeks and police

law enforcement still werent ready a Washington post. The FBI report warned of war at the capital contradicting claims that there was no indication of any looming violence and even the New York Times FBI warned of violence before the siege. This is why the Capitol police chief actually requested the National Guard before during and after, as a matter of fact, he made six separate appeals for help, but his pleas for help were rejected every single time. In fact, according to Trump Chief of staff mark meadows, who was on with our own Maria Bartiromo over the weekend, the president was very vocal about offering security assistance prior to the sixth and even ordered twelve thousand National Guard troops to stand ready, but they were never called on, even when the chief of police in the capital was calling them until, of course, it was too late. The federal government has a

duty to figure out exactly what went wrong here, why those capital police were left out to dry? Why didnt Pelosi have the sergeant of arms prepared? What are we going to discuss her dereliction of duty and failure to protect the capital by the way? Thats your capital, we, the people, those are our elected officials. This transcends any politics in my mind, doesnt matter, whoever is elected, needs to be protected period, end of sentence thats. Why ive been saying we need a nine slash, eleven style commission to investigate and give us a full report and put in changes. So this never happens again, not the snap impeachment of a former president that directly impacts the argument by the way that President trumps rallies speech was responsible for inciting the insurrection. If it was planned and advanced. No argument can be made that the president, in any way, through his words, was responsible for what

they had preplanned unless he was part of the planning and of course nobody is making that allegation, because that never happened. So now the entire impeachment Schiff show charade and charges that in the water Democrats now are left arguing that President Trump told his supporters hes going to fight like if it dont forget. President Trump also told his supporters that many of you will now peacefully and patriotically march to the capital. So your voices can be heard. I guess that doesnt matter to Democrats, because they conveniently left all of that out in their presentation today by again selectively cutting slicing dicing cherry picking only the parts of his speech that they want the public to hear. Take a look. I know everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically, make your voices heard one of the Democrats going to show that part of the

speech or Valley Democrats dont want you to hear that part because, according to them context, doesnt matter the president absolutely said fight like, and we are to believe that that phrase, those words fight and some have a call for insurrection. If so Democrats, the media mob use the exact same language, that would mean we use that standard. They are guilty of insurrection themselves. Take a look. What does Congress do about this? We fight we keep fighting. We will keep fighting for this. We should dream big fight hard and take back. Our country stand up and fight for the best of who we are and im prepared to fight, and I know that fight im ready for that fight. Increasing numbers of people are ready for that fight, stand up and fight for democracy. I will fight every day until he is impeached.

This is a fight for every one of us to get out and fight for our country. We can just imagine a better future. We got to fight for it. We continue to fight for a progressive agenda and our future thats. What we are fighting against when we fight Republicans in Congress by their own standard. Is that not incitement towards insurrection? What about this violent rhetoric from Joe Biden himself? Take a look. They asked me, but I like to debate this gentleman and I said no. If I were in high school, I take them behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. What happened to any conservative? That said, they wanted to take any democratic president of the back of the gym and beat the hell out of them. If so, do we impeach Joe Biden? What about this incitement insurrection? Language from Senator Cory Booker, you decide before I end thats. My call to action here. Please dont just come here

today and then go home. Go to the hill today get up and please get up in the face of some congresspeople get in the face of some congresspeople when Willie impeach insurrection as Cory Booker, or is it okay for a democratic senator to call for getting in the face violence against members of Congress and what about Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer on the steps of the United States Supreme Court? I want to tell you Kavanaugh Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You wont know what hit you. If you go forward with these awful decisions, you release the whirlwind. He will pay the price, but when to be impeach, Chuck Schumer or is it just okay for the

democratic leader in the Senate to threaten members of the? U DOT S Supreme Court outside their own building, and she vowed to take trump out tonight and called on supporters to also attack cabinet officials officials. They are not wanted anywhere anymore, get a crowd and everything. Take a look: if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant and a department store at a gasoline station, you get out and you tell them. They are not welcome. With this kind of inspiration. I will go and take trump out tonight. Windows congresswoman waters get impeached for that violent, inciting rhetoric, a call to insurrection if they love that turn so much. What about Vice President Kamala Harris during the height of the summers riots right

after the police precinct that met him, Minneapolis was burned to the ground. This is what then Senator Harris had to say. Take a look. This is a movement im telling you theyre not going to stop and everyone. Beware, because theyre not going to stop and theyre not going to stop before election day in November and theyre not going to stop after election day, and everyone should take note of that on both levels that they are not going to let up and they should not theyre not going to stop. Take note the where going to keep going. They shouldnt stop and we shouldnt stop before during. After those remarks, american cities were facing a wave of violent riots, so doesnt not not count as an incitement to insurrection when, if I left rioters attack the federal courthouse in Portland for weeks on end for occupy an entire city blocks in the middle of Seattle or burn a police

station to the ground in Minneapolis or just take over police stations, with a siege on the White House, when the president and his family were inside riots all summer and the left either praise them, ignored them or downplayed them. After all, the rights this past year- and this is the only one they get outraged about over the summer, nearly thirty people died over two thousand police officers were hit with rocks and bottles and bricks and molotov cocktails and frozen water bottles and worse. But what about the unions? The people that stormed the Wisconsin State Capitol Nancy Pelosi, praise them said it was an impressive show of democracy in action and went on to say she stands in solidarity with those that invaded and occupied the state Capitol building. How times of change

so will Pelosi and her fellow Democrats hold themselves accountable, or is this impeachment charade, a total sham? The answer is obvious. Not only is the premise unconstitutional, hypocritical, totally insane, but is now officially constitutes a kangaroo court. Look at this. The judge presiding over the trial is not chief Justice Roberts as the constitution calls for why, because he wanted nothing to do with this charade and instead, the presiding judge is democratic, Senator Pat Lahey that guy right there he is a member of the jury and to make matters worse. He already voiced these presiding over the whole thing and hes already voiced his support for Donald Trumps, conviction writing for the good of the countries. He must leave his party and voting to convict President Trump and prevent him from holding future office.

If you ever go to court, do you want to get a judge that has already decided youre guilty before the whole thing started? Meanwhile, the democratic impeachment managers are also deeply flawed. You have Eric Swalwell and his long time, Bff the chinese spy. You have Jamie Raskin that guy actually challenge the twenty. Sixteen election results, which he seems to now think is an impeachable offense and ultimately, the trial would drag on days calling witnesses weeks and in a way, I kind of hope they do call witnesses. Ive got a great list of republican senators. We are going to see hysteria youre, going to witness feigned selective moral outrage in all witness rank hypocrisy and what is nothing but a detestable double standard. But the outcome is pretty.
