didn't even for Hannity nice Tucker is it the weekend for you because
it's not it's only Monday we show all the weekend so it's never the weekend
exactly thanks so much thanks and welcome to Hannity I'm Jeanine Pirro in
tonight for Sean in less than one week from tonight President Trump will
announce his pick to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Anthony
Kennedy early this morning the president met with four potential candidates and
plans to meet with at least two more later this week
meanwhile during an interview with our own Maria Bartiromo president Trump
weighed in on how or if Roe vs. Wade will play a role in his decision take a
look are you going to ask your nominees beforehand how they might vote on Roe
vs. Wade well that's a big one and probably not they're all saying don't do
that you don't do that you shouldn't do that but I'm putting conservative people
on and I'm very proud of Neal Gorsuch he has been outstanding his opinions are
you know is so well written so brilliant and I'm gonna try and do something like
that but I don't think I'm going to be so specific and the questions I'll be
answering and I'm actually told that I shouldn't be because on the campaign
trail you said you would leave it to the states well maybe someday it will be to
the States you never know how that's going to turn out that's a very complex
question the Rovi were you know Wade is probably the one that people are talking
about in terms of having an effect but we'll see what happens but it could very
well end up with States at some point and joining us now with more from the
White House on what will be an incredibly important decision is ed
Henry Edie judge good to see you in fact what the president is doing is he's
moving very quickly to get through these interviews of potential nominees to the
High Court because he wants to get the clock ticking so it gets harder and
harder for Democrats to justify any obstruction any delay beyond the midterm
elections with they say they want to do they want to
stall this the president is likely to get his nominee in the end because of
the precedent that's been set for just a simple majority but in that interview
with Maria that you mentioned he made it clear he would not ask any candidate
about roe v wade that is in part aimed at trying to secure yes votes from those
two women pro-choice Republicans Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins but Collins
already indicating this weekend she'll oppose any one who had vote to change
existing law on abortion Collins says that the White House has told her
they're actually expanding the list beyond the original 25 names that the
president talked about on the campaign because of her concerns but the
president runs a risk of upsetting evangelical conservatives who loved that
list of names we're hearing though that the president seems to be standing
strong and has narrowed the list down to about six appellate court judges from
the right Amy Kony Barrett Brett Kavanaugh amount for par John Larson
Raymond Catholic and Thomas Hardiman we've heard these names before the
president today made clear the list is actually getting smaller I'll be meeting
with two or three more and we'll make a decision on the United States Supreme
Court the new justice that'll be made over the next few days and we'll be
announcing it on Monday so given the possible Republican no votes in top of
the fact that Republican John McCain has not been voting because of Health
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell may need to reel in some Democrats who supported
justice Neil Gorsuch all of whom have tough reelection battles and states the
president carried big you see him there Joe Donnelly Heidi Heitkamp and Joe
Manchin as for the push by more Liberal Democratic senators like Chuck Schumer
who say they want to push this beyond the midterms we checked and it's
interesting four of the last eight justices who have been confirmed have
been confirmed in midterm election years so that argument by Democrats can be
difficult judges all right ed thanks so much and while President Trump weighs
his Supreme Court options America's left is already acting
apocalyptic take a look at this we first have to find ways to stop
thatwill from highways what what does that mean well I like well I'll join a
million other people surrounding the United States capital instead of
circling the capital with a million people take the million people to Maine
and go to l.l.bean and tell them in Maine you need to leave Maine and less
Susan Collins votes the right way that's how you play hardball you do it smart
you go to Alaska you say you know what almost Weston Cruz we're gonna start
boycotting Alaskan cruises if you're sad but to go back where there has been
plenty of historical precedent increased the court putting an additional justice
on for every far-right justice that's approved under the kind of rule again it
doesn't the logic doesn't matter what the court will be looking at Susan is
precedent and there is precedent one woman actually told me that she was an
activist in the 60s and she had not been very active since then and when she
heard about Kennedy stepping down she literally got physically ill keep in
mind the people you just saw don't even know who President Trump is going to
nominate joining us now with reaction is the author of the upcoming book why we
fight recovering America's will to win Fox News national security strategist
Sebastian Gorka former Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich and Fox News
contributor Ari Fleischer all right guys I want to reference that that that video
that we just saw where Michael Moore is calling for a million people to surround
the US Capitol to prevent a Senate vote and that's what it's for to prevent the
vote and now they're talking about getting companies to move out of states
of Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski don't vote the way they want but the most
interesting I thought was Tom Rogers who talked about increasing the number of
justices on the court for every conservative justice who was put on is
there I'm gonna start with you Ari is there any kind of precedent to assume
that if a conservative justice dies that only a conservative can replace him or
if it's swing justice is retires that we've got to put a swing person in there
well of course not there isn't and here's the beauty of our system judge
and this is why I sleep so well at night the reason Donald Trump can put whoever
he wants on the on the on the Supreme Court within reason and the Senate will
confirm it is because the American people elected Donald Trump and a
Republican Senate if the American people had elected a Democratic president and a
Democratic Senate the Democrat could have done that these decisions are
fundamentally made by the people and our system works that's why Donald Trump is
in this position and when the Democrats talk about going to the streams they are
a million people around the capital now that's Michael Moore who said it
they're talking about subverting the system so they can save their version of
the system that is not democratic that is as wrong as wrong yes all right and
Dennis Kucinich I mean Democratic congressman I mean do you look at the
Democrat Party of today and say to yourself wait a minute they're talking
about abolishing ice we've got people who are actually out there opposing a
nominee for the Supreme Court justice when we don't even know the person is
well judge we have to keep in mind that roe v wade is definitely a flashpoint
you have millions of American women and men who stand with them I'm not going to
be silent if a new Supreme Court uh support he favors criminalizing abortion
the burger court in 1973 declared that there was a right to privacy under due
process on the 14th amendment and I think that anything that goes beyond
that balancing and creates an imbalance will cause people to mobilize all over
the country well and so Sebastian I mean what what are you sebastien Gorka what
do you say to that the concept that you know they're gonna mobilize it's not as
though any Supreme Court nominee is gonna get up there and say I support roe
v where I don't support roe v wade or I'm gonna be an activist or I'm not
is it gonna all be based on decisions that have already been written and
interpretations of those you're the judge you know better than anybody this
is just scare tactics they've been pulling this out since balks nomination
in the 1980s RORO V
wait as you said we don't even know who the president is going to nominate this
is the left they may disagree with democracy when it doesn't go their way
and they understand the stakes involved here judge if we have a conservative
justice appointed and then voted in by the Senate we will inoculate the
Republic for at least a generation from the lunacy of the left from the identity
politics the ideas that we don't need immigration policed on the border the
idea that you can give everything to everybody for free
the legislating from the bench that we've seen for years now it will be
defended in the Supreme Court by a constitutionalist Brandt for office he
said he was to hear them wisely and Donald Trump has said he'll name
conservatives so you know I understand that Democrats have a fear that roe v
wade will be overturned and that states will decide it and it'll be won't loud
somewhere other places it won't but they act as if abortion is the only thing the
Supreme Court does it is the first issue and the only issue so many Democrats
talk about it's so much broader than that and that's why you really do want
somebody who is a big thinker and I think that's what frankly the list that
Donald Trump has put together and you know Dennis Kucinich I mean there are
two women on that list and I know that they you know as I said that it's almost
as though you know this is apocalyptic right now for the left but nominating a
woman won't make a darn bit of difference will it for the left well
whether it's a man or a woman and you know I certainly would applaud President
Trump for considering a woman to be a point of the court but whatever the
gender of the person one must be aware that we're at a time of great
polarization in this country and people are very afraid that some basic rights
that have been constitutionally protected under the 14th amendment for
example for last 45 years could just be vitiated by a new Court so that that's
you know we have to realize that's the concern and what we need to do I think
judges in a larger country polity we need
to find ways of depolarizing this whole debate over abortion and start to focus
on things like prenatal care postnatal care child care universal health care
living wage and and shift the debate to really show that whatever your position
we can appreciate life but Dennis wouldn't you agree that part of the
problem is that the left is is is going crazy in the event that someone is
pro-life and is appointed to the bench I mean that's what it's about they're
making it an issue you can sit there and say it's great we should worry about
child care Sebastian Gorka I'll go to you at the end of the day you've got a
mansion heidi heitkamp joe donnelly I mean these guys are in a
and lady are in a tough spot right now but let's assume that Susan Collins and
Lisa Murkowski decide if she's not pro-choice or he's not pro-choice I'm
not interested what do you think the harm is gonna be if these Dems in that
Trump heavy states vote for this justice well if you look at what's happening at
just the last few days and weeks politically in America it's as if the
Democrat Party don't understand what happened on November the 8th 2016
they're doubling down the idea that you have somebody who wants to have no
borders on the south who believes that we have black sites run by ice these
people want to now boycott cruise liners in Alaska the dams are so out of touch
with America it's going to be very very good for the Republicans and the
president come November and come 2020 and there's no question Ari that in the
end the president will surely get his way it's not like there's going to be a
you know that the left is going to be able to say we want this person
president is going to nominate someone he wants but to be realistic about it if
this second justice and when the second justice is appointed we will have a
Supreme Court that is conservative or conservative leaning without a doubt for
the next generation yeah I'd say conservative leaning I don't think you
can say conservative yet because I think it's a history of the Supreme Court
shows there they have their independent minds that
they use Justice Roberts might turn out to be a little bit moderate than people
think we just don't know and that's why I
value intellect I value temperament as opposed to positions previously taken
times change and I want to see what kind of minds are justices have that's the
most important thing on the bench so a lot of it from both the right and the
left you can be you can go too far Bali Hui how far change can go and especially
for an institution like the Supreme Court will say and and Denis with
respect to the hearing itself what do you think some of these candidates or
nominees or are going through right now they're meeting with the president for
met two more as I understand it are going to be meeting with him how do you
think they communicate to him without him asking the question how conservative
and support it would be I think we have to take the president at his word that
he hasn't asked for a litmus test and I think they'll just be an honest exchange
and the president will make his decisions based on the interaction I
would I would think you know from reports that I've heard from other
people have been appointed so we'll see but you can bet that those whose names
are coming up are going to be carefully scrutinized and keep in mind you know
this nomination is going to go through we have to keep mine that mr. Obama's
nomination of Garland was held up for 293 days and never saw the light of day
so you know it's politics politics are up but but in the end I mean at least we
don't have the filibuster judicial filibusters sebastian Gorka and it's
just right now a majority vote and if we you know John McCain is not voting if we
lose the to that we might lose I mean there are three that may come over last
word sebastian Gorka well the quotas certain former senator from illinois
illinois elections have consequences and so do so does the fact that now the
Republicans have the house and the Senate and these rules are now in place
as to the president and his meetings I know exactly what's happening the
president has you know judge has a preternatural
capacity to read individuals very very rapidly
he's meeting them he gets he gets a gut instinct for who these people are and I
think it's going to be one question are they originalist do they look at the
Constitution as talking about eternal truths if he thinks that then that
person's going to go to the top of the list originalist textualist
constitutionalists who respect precedent and story decisis gentleman thanks so
