'Hannity' host responds to House impeachment vote, slams 'massive double standard'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Thank you
with that Sean Hannity
welcome to Hannity
it tonight the mob in the
media. They would like you to
believe today. We witnessed what
is a momentous historic moment,
a solemn moment in our nations
capital
I hate to break their burst
their bubble, but in reality it
was just a typical day for
Democrats in Washington D, DOT C
Humberside accusations flying
a flash impeachment ran through
the house,
breathtaking hypocrisy and
massive double standard and
more obsessive, impeach, impeach
impeach madness.
Weve had this for four years.
By the way it all ends
justifies the means, but it
really means nothing to you. We,
the american people, it means
nothing.
What we watched today was a
vindictive political charade,
political theater.
It typical phony, feigned
outrage, a slap in the face to T
president and all of his
supporters, some seventy five million of
them
just one week until
inauguration day.
Perhaps most importantly, this
now lowers the bar for all
future impeachments.
We are going to break all of
this town in great detail and
were going to show you how
their new standard of
impeachment and were going to
apply it to the Democrats
should be applied immediately,
meaning one week from today.
First, unlike Nancy Pelosi,
President Trump is actually
calling for calm tonight. In a
statement to Fox NEWS, the
President said in light of
reports of more demonstrations,
there be no more violence, no
lawbreaking, no vandalism of
any kind thats, not what I
stand for its, not what America
stands for.
I all Americans to help ease
tensions and calm tempers.
He continued his calls for calm
and a video released by the
White House
if they had to put it on their
twitter account because, of
course, the presidents voice has
been silenced on twitter and
Facebook and pretty much
everywhere else. Take a look.
I want to
be very clear. I unequivocally
condemned the violence that we
saw last week.
Violence and vandalism have
absolutely no place in our
country and no place in our
movement.
Making America great again has
always been about defending the
rule of law. No true supporter
of mine could ever threaten or
harass their fellow Americans.
If you do any of these things,
you are not supporting our
movement. You are attacking it
to.
You are attacking our country
now, im asking everyone who has
ever believed in Argenta to be
thinking of ways to ease
tensions, calm, tempers and help
to promote peace in our country.
The presidents
absolutely right a peaceful
transition of power, as hes
been saying, will happen.
Violence of any kind should not
be tolerated, as we speak.
Inauguration day is now less
than a week away on January
January, 20th at noon, the frail,
weak, cognitively, struggling
hiding, Joe Biden, will be seen in
public sworn in.
This brings us to an important
question.
What did todays flash
impeachment accomplish?
Well, we will get to the
Democrats bogus arguments in the
seconds.
First lets look at a time when
he appeared at
democratic, controlled house
passed articles of impeachment
against the president
of those articles must now be
transferred to the: U Dot S Senate
for a boat to convict. As we
accurately reported last night,
the sun is not reconvening until
January 19th in Mitch.
Mcconnells office confirmed
to me that the absolute
earliest the articles could be
transmitted is January. 20Th that
100 p dot m
its an important hour
at the earliest. The trial could
begin would be Post Donald Trump
residency
once Trump leaves office. The
Senate cant hold in the
impeachment trial. Such a child
would be unconstitutional.
Alan Dershowitz said the same on
this program this week.
What was todays impeachment
trade all about
a number of things.
First Democrats are now going
to be able to brag to all their
friends and families we did to.
We did a
president. Trump is the first
president to be impeached twice.
We are so great incredible
right.
The second. This gave Democrats
one last opportunity to scream
and yell at the president.
They even changed at the house
rules. The Democrats did so
they can go after the president.
Personally,
they changed it just for the
occasion
take a look
because he had the hats on the
army of Mega Dominic Maga, which
is what I refer to as make Ameri
great again,
weve been asked to turn a
blind eye to the criminality
and disrespect of rule of law by
the President and the
White House,
because the President of the
United States and cited this
insurrection, this armed
rebellion against this country,
he must go. He is a clear and
present danger to the nation
that we all love.
Racism played a direct role
in this incitement.
The presidents violence rhetoric
is always at its most fevered
pitch when he is talking about
the civil rights and civic
aspirations of black Americans
and other minority communities.
If we fail to remove a white
supremacist President who
incited a whites premises
instruction, it will be
communities like Missouris,
first district that will suffer
the most
hes capable of starting a
civil war.
He must be impeached. He must be
stopped now
same lunatic, same
speech, same hate different
day,
keep in mind, we are still
learning new details about the
breach of the capitol building,
which could never happen.
Lets go to fake news, CNN
to their investigators, beginning
to believe. Investigators are
believing that it was a
preplanned attack and not just
some protest that spiraled out o
control
now. Did the FBI have any
information ahead of time?
I have sources tonight telling
me they did.
Is there evidence that this was
preplanned according to fake
news, CNN thats what they are
looking into
his big jack? Well, they now
cooperate with law enforcement
to help get to the bottom of who
is behind all this?
I dont rush to judgment. They
did.
They need Commission
senator, Graham and
Senator Johnson. They are
talking about it like after
nine slash eleven. We need to figure out how
this happened and make sure it
never happens again,
thats exactly why you can have
a snap impeachment.
Now different facts are
beginning to emerge.
We dont know the whole picture
yet
thats. Why you dont rush to
judgment
any republican senator. Let me
be clear: there is waste one
second, on this charade after
the president is gone from
office. They need to be out of
office.
Your republican senators, who
have more important priorities
like getting to the bottom of
this, preventing this from ever
happening again, getting the
vaccine to people who need it,
fixing our economy and
supporting our military and
keeping us safe.
Every republican senator must
stand against this
post presidency impeachment
madness and reject it.
As a matter of fact, republican
senators Mitch Mcconnell pay
close attention.
Not one of your senators should
partake in any of this.
You shouldnt be a part of this
circus of the Democrats.
Stop enabling these psychotic
mentally unhinged democratic
socialists and the president
shouldnt waste his time or
money, even bothering to send a
lawyer
let Chucky, Schumer and company
have at it.
Every republican senator needs
to let the raging Democrats talk
to themselves and to tell them
to stop wasting the countrys
time
republican senators. You can
show up at the time for the
acquittal boat, we will probably make exceptions.
We will probably make exceptions
for the usual suspects met, Mick
Croninmittromney,
now its an investigation into
the inside job, poorly planned.
All along that wouldnt mean
that what was said at the rally
caused all of it
its important to remember what
the president said on
January 6th words matter.
He said. I know everyone here
will soon be marching to the
capitol building to peacefully
and patriotically, make your
voices heard
its called the first amendment
you may not like it, but its
real.
According to Democrats, this is
their new standard for inciting
violence
in insurrection, their favorite
new word. They just discovered
it
by their own standards. This is
important.
Now we have to ask Congressman
Democrat and Republican. Should
Maxine Waters face impeachment,
remember publicly fantasize
about killing the president on
multiple occasions, getting in
the face, isnt, creating crowds
and telling people in the
cabinet theyre not wanted
anywhere.
What about impeachment manager
TED lieu?
He once promoted widespread
civil unrest against the
president.
What about another impeachment
manager? Eric Swalwell, should
be on this as, if dating a
chinese guy wasnt bad enough.
Swalwell is now comparing
President Trump to Bin Laden.
You cant make it up, but
predictable.
Holding him accountable is
different from the people who
directly were involved in
tearing down the doors and
rampaging
Dominic. The capitol building
Usama Bin Laden did not enter
u dot S soil on September 11th, but
it was widely acknowledged. He
was responsible for inspiring
the attack on our country
all right.
According to the Democrats, old
standards comparing the
president of the worlds most
hated terrorist must be
incitement right.
Okay,
it. What about Joe Biden, question
Mckee once told his subordinates.
He wanted to assault him.
That has to be incitement right.
This is insurrection. Theyre
talking about right.
I wish I could take him
behind a gym.
I didnt make a mistake.
They asked me if I would like to
debate this gentleman.
I said no, I said if we were in
high school, I would beat the
bleep out of him
using Democrats own
standards. How is that not an
impeachable statement
lets not forget Joes Vp
Kamala Harris
two thousand and twenty two weeks after Farr left
rioters, they burnt down a
Minneapolis police station. They
burned it to the ground.
Just two weeks after violence
rioters attempted to storm the
White House grounds.
If this is what Senator Harris
told us
take a look,
Dominic Dominic, this is a
movement
im. Tell you theyre not going
to stop.
If theyre not going to stop
theyre, not going to stop it for
election day, they are not going
to stop after election day
at that should be. Everyone
should take note of that on both
levels
if they are not going to let up,
and they should not
be when they are not going to
stop. Beware, take note
theyre not going to stop they
shouldnt stop.
That is what she says.
Is she saying it? As cities are
burning and stores are looted
and violent riots are taking
place in every major city? That
was her message.
She even promoted the bail fund
to get violent rioters out of
jail,
while not thats, helping the
movement
shes, helping Trump get
impeached by encouraging his
supporters for peacefully and
patriotically making their
voices heard.
Karl Harris has ought to be
impeached and start one week
from today, basing it on their
standards.
The rage toward Trump was so
intense and violent businesses
boarded up their windows ahead
of election day
to Democrats across the country
were burning with anger, end
and rage, and the culmination of
years of outright lies. Bizarre
conspiracy theories, never
ending smears.
Hillary Clinton, she called
Trump an illegitimate president
Pelosi said the twenty. Sixteen election
was hijacked by Russia.
She said it
for the next several years, with
the help of a phony russian
dossier paid for by Hillary
Democrats, the mob and the
media,
they wage the biggest
disinformation campaign against
the Trump administration this
country has ever seen.
Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia,
one big fat lie day after day
week after week, year after
year,
a federal judge found that
deeper and trumps organization
were colluding with. Russian
spirit is because this is
evidence of willingness to
complete collusion.
It does look pollution,
it does look like hes listening
to Putin more than he is
american intelligence.
The presidency is effectively
a russian op,
a dizzying twenty four hours in the
Russia Investigation,
Russia,
Russia,
Russia,
Russians.
After four separate
investigations cleared the
president of any Russia
collusion.
They never apologized. They just
moved onto the next manufactured
scandal.
Ironically, Hillary is the one
who colluded with Russia with a
phony russian misinformation
dossier,
two thousand and nineteen. They used accusations from
an anonymous hearsay,
nonwhistle blower whistle blower,
to accuse the president of
engaging in a quid pro quo.
During a perfectly normal phone
call with President Zelensky of
the Ukraine,
President Trump ultimately
released the entire transcript
of the call, the whistle blower,
never even testfired.
It was a hearsay whistle blower.
It didnt stop them from
impeaching the president, the
president, anyway, among party
lines in a truly amazing example
of hypocrisy. The media couldnt
be bothered to cover Joe Bidens
Ukraine quid pro quo.
He bragged about it on tape.
As of next week. This day, I
think we applied the same
standards we will have to
impeach Joe a week from today.
To take a look
were not going to give you a
billion dollars.
They said you are: have the
authority
im not getting a billion
dollars
im going to be leaving here. I
think it was like six dollars
im leaving in six hours. If the
prosecutor is not powered
youre, not getting the money,
the prosecutor got
fired, zero experience hunter
made. Millions. No experience,
think about how crazy it all is.
The president was impeached over
a third party hearsay complaint,
a perfectly normal phone call.
If we are going to apply the
media and democratic party
standards, Joe Biden should
begin. Impeachment. Democrats
should join them a week from
today for Joe Biden
hes, the one who forestalled
that to happen.
Remember Hunter said I have no
experience in gas, oil, energy
or Ukraine,
and now the lefts witch hunt
had nothing to do with facts.
It had everything to do with the
refusal to accept the twenty. Sixteen
election results.
Make no mistake. Democrats will
plotting impeachment before
Trump was sworn in.
That could be seen as an
intangible offense
impeach 45
impeachable
impeachment
thats an impeachable
offense
impeachment
impeachable offense
grounds for impeachment
impeachable
impeachable.
If thats not impeachable, I
dont know what it is
impeachment
grounds for impeachment.
The talk for impeachment.
None of us came to Congress
for Dominic to impeach a
president, but we have to do our
duty
one week from today
we will impeach Joe and
Kamala Harris,
as I said, from the top. What
happened today was not
remarkable or historic, just a
predictable day in the less
nonstop rage and hate against
all things. Donald Trump.
This was today take a look
Americas heard tired of the
double standard.
It Democrats objected more
states in twenty seventeen, then Republicans
did last week. Somehow we are
wrong.
Democrats can raise bail and
rioters all summer, the violence
the summer the violence last
week. Somehow we are wrong.
What did he actually say?
His exact words were. I know
that everyone here will soon be
marching over to the capitol
building to peacefully and
patriotically, make your voices
heard
that is impeachable.
A vote to impeach would
further divide this nation.
A vote to impeach would further
fan the flames of partisan
division.
It will only serve to further
divide a nation that is calling
out for healing.
I denounced the political
violence from all ends of the
spectrum.
Make no mistake: the left in
America has incited far more
political violence than the
right.
The president lit the flame,
they lit actual flames,
actual fire and we
there will be order in the
house.
I think fire bread is
good for his book.
I cant wait for Maxine waters
to start chanting, impeach forty six,
because shes going to apply the
same standards right
most Republicans claim this
absurd political play.
Liz Cheney. I have a message for
those ten republicans. Good luck
in your new democratic party.
I used to like you like your
dad.
You voted for impeachment
youre out of step with
Republicans and conservatives in
this country.
You dont, belong in leadership,
good luck, working with their
democratic colleagues on issues.
I thought we both agreed on like
national defense and did
national security issues.
Im sure theyve become a
all pro national defense in the
meantime, since ive been
watching,
lets be clear,
a senator Republicans! You want
to go along with this nonsense.
Seventy five million Americans went to the
polls. They went more fruit,
Donald trump them for
Republicans.
They should think about why
people voted for Donald Trump,
why they support his agenda and
Mitch Mcconnell. You should
know better.
Even considering this nonsense
in the Senate will get this
country nowhere.
It will not heal divisions, it
will not improve the lives of
Americans. It will only further
divide, a country that is weeks
out from one of the hotly
contested races in history,
as I said last night, its
important for Americans to step
back and take a collective
breath
im, not even calling for the
impeachment Harris and Joe.
If we applied their standards,
we would be impeaching them one
week from today.
Tensions must cool. We must move.
