full coverage straight ahead. and far left failures all across the west coast are nower more undeniable than ever. comedian adam carolla will join us to sound off on all of this california craziness. as goes california, so goes the rest of the country. controversy tonight surrounding trans athletes in women's sports are female athletes being treated unfairly? caitlyn jenner will be here and will react to d new developments surrounding the universityevsu of pennsylvania's women's swimming team. all of that tonight but first we go to the u.s. supreme courtm where joe biden todaye oe reaffirmed b his commitment to g using race and gender as the basis for deciding who to t nominate to fill justice breyer soon to be vacancynate. od >> here's joey earlier today, person our nominee will be someone with extraordinary , character,ns experience and integrity and that person will bek the first black woman ever nominated to the unitedwoth stas supreme court. meet with the potentialit nominees and it is my intentioni my intention to announce my decision before the end of february. i have made no choice at. thank you all so very, very much for beingng here. i'm note going to take any questions because i think it's inappropriate to take questions with the justices here. j he's still sitting on the bench . >>'m i'm not allowed i can't do it. i'llt they're going to yell at me and everything and i won't get my ice cream cone anyway. so right off the bat, biden is excluding all potential candidates who are notidom african-american women. but ask yourself isn't this agendael in and of itself discriminatory? imagine that we put outut a pol, . he said, okay, next time i'm oni vacation you get toon pick the fill in for this show and they have what tonho categories only can you choose from you decide would that be fair anyway? pickingg candidatesg based on race gender it's not only extremely divisive but likely. on constitutional the supreme court and its own jurisprudencec has ruled that classifications based on race are subject to s the strictest of scrutiny and it's found that discrimination based on race unconstitutional. and as law professor jonathan turley has pointed out, the president will only consider a black womanwo for the next nomination a threshold gender and race conditionco that the court itself has found unconstitutional for schools s and unlawful for privatech . sinesses so the question is, is it okay for joe to do it and why is he doing it? n is it you know, it's nots because he's deeply concerned about racial justiceee. we, know that's a lie because remember he did work with robert the former klansman byrd. he wanted to stop the integration of schoolsls because he was worried about schools becoming, in his words, racial jungle's.s. no," joe biden is being bullied into the decision by the new extreme left. they're usinglere the supreme cs pick as another way to flex their power, show their strength. that's identity politicss it on steroids. in short, biden was forced to make this decision. for example, far left new york congressman jamalsi bowman tweeted out, mr. president, you promised us a black a woman on the supreme court. let's see it happen. congresswoman pressleyy added,om quote, it is time for a black woman on the supreme court. this all raises the question how much was breyer forced out?n is retiring on his own termson on his own timeline? apparently not. we're also learning tonight that south carolina congressmant jim clyburn, clyburn, jim clyburn single handedly helped save joe biden's candidacy after poor showing poor showings in iowa and new hampshire sounds likern jim clyburn is admitting that he had to quit i in a pro and quo with old in terms of okay, clyburn j would save joe's faltering campaign and use south carolina and his popularity, which is huge in south carolina and a in exchange to extract a promise from joe only to put an african-american female on the supreme court is that the only deal they made?ht is there more of that deal? what other deals might be out there and furthermore, askn yourself if far left democrats in the mob and the media are soe concerned about racial c diversity on the court and so concerned with racial and gender justice, why are they so bent on smearinger clarence thomas every chance they get? you know, remember over ms. dancy's just recently referred to as uncle clarence. listen to the ladies on the hard hitting news show on abc. the view actually suggesting that justices thomas to and amy coni barrett ares traitors to their race and their gender for not being far left activist judges that they want to takehe a look. >> you pointed out first black woman. there's only been two black men that those numbers arers a little shocking. one doesn't really represent a black community. you know, the supreme court isof like this dictatorial branch ofe the government. these are peoplent who are appointed by their own people.y they do d not answer to the country. amy coni barrett was put in there because she's a white woman who they say, well,l, go against abortion rightssh and she's a woman so that is deliberate. i think clarence thomas, a black guy , a black man, a justice. okay, i'll give it to him.e he's a smart guy, but he is to the right of attila the , this guy. and they put him in their thinking, oh , a black man will go against voting rights, which is what he does. and it was identity politics po, flat out racism and bigotry. flat outut racism and bigotry. but to the mob, the media, there's only one standardd for democrats and then another standard for far left judges and in one standard for the rest of us when it comes to selecting judges, respecting the rule of law, judiciall philosophy, the commitment toho upholding the constitution should be the main factors who you're going to pick. these important decisions should not be made solelyy de based on race or based on gender. in fact, it's disrespectful to the nominee to do so well because biden's presidency is franklyncy imploding. even a democrats in the media mb are now admitting it is now desperate to tryry and placate b his democratic base that he'sas losing in droves as new numbers now show him absolutely low dismal. 34% approval rating in thelo state of georgia.ok look t at this poll from the atlanta journal constitution, by the way, they didn't like me actually said in their year end edition about me in nineteen ninety six it was a great year g for atlanta. orthe olympics came and sean hannity left. i left to comeov to fox news anyway. it's no secret why stacey i abrams wanted to be nowherere near biden when he was in atlanta earlier this month. joe biden is failing policy, es failing on messaging, failing everywhere in betweensayw as gap finds biden crashing when it comes to key character traits like leadership, government management and good judgmentt are in times of crisis. i'd also add cognitively as well empty rhetoric, empty promises, empty shellss and empty suitlv. that's pretty much sums up the joe biden presidencyy and now he's so desperate for a political win he's willing to go all out, try and appease the radical extreme left or now pulling the strings and havehi been pulling the strings of this failed presidency. the democratde joe biden.it it's politics first it's you,ou the american, people. we're dead last here for reaction liow to point out throw along fox and friends weekend co-host pete hegseth all right. so let's say i asked people toic pick race, gender ,ct whatever two characteristics only for people to filll in for this show. leo, would that be right? >> i don't think so. and i'veve been a host oft your show. let me tell you right now, by the way, we need to tell the audience enough allll in all fairness, you need to know this leo's filled in one time i've had to beg leo to fill in that one time. i've asked him ten other times, hey, what do you out here, leo?t hey,o! pete. leo is turning down out of the filling in on this show on "hannity". he has charlie down, you know, at least 15 times he will be out here. hey, let's talk about the subject. what are you doing? all right. i'm talking about the issue. i'm would but to answer your question, this show this sean show is colorblind. what gives baker the rightar to question clarence thomas blackness? this is nothing more than pandering and it's insulting tol black americans because what they're telling us is t ifa you are black, you have to be a democrat. tell that to t herschel walker. tell that to condoleezza rice. candice always larry elderit and leo terrell. it is insulting. it is insulting because it makes the mindset that we all tk think alike black people have different views and the comments to pick a black female is racist. if the number one reason why i left the democratic party because two years ago joe biden said if you vote for trump, you ain't black. the democrats, the left wing l have divided this country on . you say they play it every election cycle. their planan is twenty four ,, seven. and one final t point.in this is notg going to convinceot black people to vote for joe biden and the democrats. we hate crime. ri we want crime eliminated. we hate these federal mandates. we want the homeless problem done. we want schoolsle. that's what black people want. you know, pete, let me go to you. i need toskpete, thank you personally because every time we've askededo beautiful and you've been verys gracious and believe me, l i'm leo. leo has turned us down at least 15 times. actually my staff is saying actu in my it's like over twenty four times but i won't bring that up so thank you , pete. but in all seriousness, you know, we're supposed to be one american family, you know, the coolest thing when you take politics out of sports . steven and i goo back and fortho and text each otherth about this occasionally, you know, take politics out of sports . what doo you have people with a shared passion, a sport shared passion, a team, a home team high five ing strangers alll socioeconomic backgrounds, races, religions. it doesn't matter why don't we look for the right person period r. that's it. if you're looking for two things i'm looking for merit and i'm looking for judicial philosophy and i'm not going to agree withh who the democrats believe has the right judicialhe philosophy. that's that's life. but that's what it shoulddit s. but we should expect nothingm other than this from joe bidenrr and kamala harris. and let me tell you why this is the least merit based presidencypr in american history . as donald trump pointed out, barack obamaas pulls up twicefa failed presidential candidate joe biden because he felt like c he needed a white guy with experience and some foreign policy experience even though he's alwaysor wrong.id so barack obama wins.ng joe biden goes along for eight years then joe biden when he stumbles into the nomination because he promised a blacke female to a black congressman in a state he's otherwise never would have won. he wins south carolina and moves forward after really not being seen as a viable candidate. then he says i need toee pick somebody who should it be i a black female? it's going to be kamala harris even though she couldn't pulls c over one percent. so o no one is currently in sixteen hundred pennsylvania avenue got there because of merit. so why would we expect that this would be anything other than a box checking identity politics politicallyckn correct left wing giveaway w based on race fromin the guy who sat in front off clarence thomas when he said this is fromh tech lynching the guy who said they're going to put you back in chains. this is exactly who we know barack obama excuse b me joe biden is. so it doesn't surprise me one bit. and i'll tellex you this i'm going to text leo after this . he'll be h hosting your show next time you askk him, i'll send somebody you know willst help us out when we're in ari moment of crisissi and need the question i have why does the media give biden a pass on all g the issues that pete mentioned on race? leo, what i mentioned about robert byrd i mean partnering with a former klansman no integration racial jungle's. w how did how did how did the media just ignore all of that ? very simple. they are just the media, cnn, msnbc, joy reid, all those people who you play out, they are agents of the democratic party .de they aremo players of the democratic party . they were obsessed with give you one of the greatest presidents of all time out of g office. so they pick a guy w who is a racist. you could t play that montage al the time back in the early 70s up until now, joe biden iss a racist, but they wanted himum in lieu of president trump and look what has happened to this country in the last 12 months. we have lost our our dearest because of joe biden. so to me the media is as if responsible for the disaster this country as joe biden. one final point. p the onlyme prime time show ever going that one time with jesse water is the sean hannity shower. does that mean you'll filly in for me my next day off? how about we do a poll? i pete i can't get him to do it. maybe you can talk him into it. you're tougher than i know what i think we just leave him. it's the only thing i've disagreed with topeak point outl since he's been doing well. so i think we'll give him a pass on this one on no, no, no time for me. no gas. leo's got to man up and host the show. leo, next time i'm out you're sitting in this chair or we're just going to we're just going empty chair for the full hour. pete i , co-host with pete. all right, pete, okay, i'd like that two together. e actually that would be pretty cool. i'm doing all right. thank you both. that .y we're also learning tonight that thankfully no one was harmed after congresswomanft bush is unoccupied. vehicle was hit by gunfire this weekend near st.hi louis. now bush tweeted out, quote, thankfully no one was harmedd but any act of gun violence shakes your soul. that's why our movement is working to invest in our communities, eradicate roote causes of gun a violence and kep everyone safe. but remember bushh. is one of the same far left democrats that repeatedly i call to defund the police even as crime is spiking a major democratic run cities and states all across the country. so. how are we going to keep everyone safe and secure if we don't let police have the money to do their jobs and continue to their funding? never mind this stupid laws bush herself spends tens of thousands of dollars on private security. i'm sorry she has too s go through that. sadly, i've had l to live that t points in my life as well. butst don't her constituents in st. louis don't they also deserve the same safety and security defund dismantle the police doesn't work.n' not bail laws don't work, youre know. coast to coast we're seeing the same exact thing. democratg th they like to attack the police and crime gets worse, including new york where the state republican party slamming failedst r far leftov governor kathy hochul againer this week defending weak bail laws that put dangerous and violent criminals right back on the streetndndri. now the party said in aal statement quote at least now it's crystal clear s that she stands firmly with criminals over new yorkers safety carjackings, new york , they're up over three hundred and fifty percent in just the last three years. carjackings are up over five hundred percent in chicago since 2014.4. and as we've been showing, theft, crime, a brazen take a look at your screen. here's a theft in broad daylight at a new york cityy rite aid where the alleged shoplifter isn't concerns atne all aboutd getting caught and keep looking out g in seattt . see this guy believed to be a homeless man hauling a 70 inch tv right out of a target last month. he reportedly has been arrested nearly two dozen times for stealing and just the last few months l, why isn't he in jail? in houston, a suspect, was taken into custody following a standoff after allegedly shooting three police officersft . thankfully, alllln are in stable condition, expected to recoverer . and we'll continue following the story. this is lawlessness plainthis and simple, the naturalna consequence of far left democratic rule here with reaction, donald trump jr. you know, we had the riots of the summer. 2020 five hundred and seventy four of them, dozensus dead, thousands of cops injured, billions in property damage, arson and looting. okay,e where's that committee? thdon ? because they don't have a committee looking into that . you see what's happening in all these videos every day. crimee set records all last year under joe biden. under joe biden after defunding. it's not that hard too fix it. no, it's not. itom actually seems like it woud be total common sense. and before i go to my diatribe . sure. m and i'd likey to throw my hat in the ring to host your show when you're gone some day because i am personally offended that leoday and pete he both had that opportunity and i'm not fond of representing will have the three one , two, three. i have to take a week off and everybody getss day. >> you got it. yeah but all kidding aside, the democrats are not for the rule of law. the only thing that they actually try to do whenever these things happen is actually make it harderrlly forw abiding citizens to defend themselves by taking away n their second amendment rights. they do nothing towardscr the criminals, the placesim that are seeing the greatest spike in crime are the placess restrictive gun a laws. but they don't want to actually enforce those laws because that would be offensive toct the actual criminals. what you see is outright lawlessness, whether it's there, whether it's at the borders, whether it's joe biden and his family, the democratd only talk about law abiding citizens. actually care if their people follow those same laws. it's ridiculous. > and we're seeing it on a grand scale, sean. and you know, all s throughout the summer 2020 i couldn't understand it. beggingng citiest like b new york and cities like portland as the law required. he would authorize the use and the calling up of the national guard. then it becomes a chain of c command goes to the governor ora the mayor of a particular state or city and every single time almost even on january six , he approved twenty thousand troops, up to twenty thousand troops on january 4th and nancy pelosi didn't call him up and muriel bowser didn't call him up. to ask whywants didn't they ? because people vote have been kept safe the capital and safe that day. and i don't understand why there's reluctance to installation what's they didn't because it wouldn't work for their narrative if you could loot courthouses. i was told that that'sd an insurrection when it went on for a year prior. but if they could show a divided america while donald trump was president, w w they cd actually blame that on him. yet all the perpetrators of those crimes, all of the cities that were that those things happenedth in all of the legislators that were in charge were all democratsts. that's literally the only common bond during that eighteen months of total chaos in america was that democrats were a part of all of the disasters. so when it's not conducive to the narrative, you don't hear about it whent it is, they cant try to weaponize it against conservatives. you've seen that acrossng the board, right? joe biden was going to be an elder statesman. he was going to be tough. he was going to be all of these things. the reality is he's divisive. he's got his own racial past this family is corrupt. he is incompetent and inept and literally all of the things the left were screaming about and candidly lying about donald trump exactly exemplify joe biden, whether it's incompetence, whether disasters. remember, he was going to come in and fix all of these things.h eshe's fixed exactly zero, sean. in fact, he's made everything worse. our border is a disaster. the russians are about to invade ukraine. we're getting in this hawkish policyki. w we're we're talking about sending troops into war because we've been out of war foreeal al of three or four months after the disaster in afghanistan. g i get to read reports sayingen that intelligence is sayingau that russians may be launching a cyber attack on america. mei don't think so. l i imagine that's our people lying to us to try to instigate us getting into another war to distract from the incompetence. dodo you think our posture in ukraine has anything to do with his corrupt son raking in millions over the yearrmire and this is the way to cover it up that favors are being called in ? no one is even asking the question because it's obvious like everything else we've been told over the lastn five years, all we're getting is lies and diversiondi and what's nice, john, is i think with the disaster that we're all seeing, the americang people finally ges it. they're seeing it witht their own eyes w and you won lat week. i want to c play the rnc ad i've been playing every nightiv because it scares a living out of meit and it's dangerous for the world. a your father a cognitive test. democrats asked for himim to tae ,et cetera. they asked for a question mccain's cognitive abilities, reagan's cognitive abilities. and i watched joe biden at b this press conference and he could barely mumble. he stumbling and mumbling. we keep playing this ad and it's so humiliating. you've seen it. it's this guy up to the job. clearly not. and he clearly wasn't at the time showing. i mean, we'veve we've saidg that for a long time. butt because he could be bassman biden and height in delaware like he spent 25% of his presidency thus far hiding, they can get away with it when you have a trillion mainstream media complex, when you have a trillion dollar social mediaio complex, na trillion dollar plus big tech all running cover for you, you can getzi away with ity it's amazing what he's been able to get away with but it's so bad. it's so grossly incompetent and inept that even joe biden with trillions of dollars of big business trying to rund and cover for him and be his marketing department, he can't get away with it anymore and we're going to play it again. everyone knows he may not have been able to see it and compare it to your father who comes on the show, talks for a straight hour and every sentence is quite coherent. >> listen to ideas. the with the nature not with the political coverage. i can play so that you get the last word on sean. he's an incompetent. i mean it's bordering on being an imbecile at this point and it's just a shame that it'sa happening to our country and this is the leader of the free world, which is why our enemies are pouncing. they're reacting to this level of ineptitude. i'm okay with the tv film, but'm i think i'm going to make a prediction, go out on a limb here. i think your future may be in politics. i'm justi'm guessing. but you don't have to tell me now. you can tell me the next time you're on anyway. great to have. thank you .st straight ahead, big controversy over a strange indoor swimmer at upend caitlyn jenner. tammy bruce weigh in with the latest when we i return. is it fair to female athletes selling a home is expensive and stressful. so we created our smart solar system to sell your home for top dollar and save thousands in commissions. i was amazed at the fact that my house sold one idea and saved me in the neighborhood of twenty to twenty five thousand dollars in the process was as easy as it. they are the number one way to sell our services available nationwide and there's zero obligation calls today or visite ideal agent .com. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor?
