CALLER: I just wanted to talk a little bit about James Comer and their investigation into Biden's use of the autopen. I mean, I think it's a waste of time completely, especially when it comes to the pardons.
I mean, it reminds me of when the Democrats had control and they impeached Trump and, again, a waste of time. If there was something serious that one of his staff did and used the autopen for, I think maybe that would be worthy of investigation, but the pardons, I think it's a waste of time. What say you?
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Well, you know, I'll be honest. I'd like to get to the bottom of it. I'd like to know who was making the decisions. I mean, if you really think about it, it's a pretty scary, severe constitutional crisis if the duly-elected president is not making the decisions and somebody is making those decisions for him or that, you know, he doesn't even know the cases of commutations, etcetera.
And he did a lot of commutations and pardons of people that definitely didn't deserve it, bad people. And I'd like to know who made the decision if he didn't make it. That to me is a — It's sort of like a coup when you think about it, if he was not up to the job, then the people around him had a responsibility and a duty to tell the country the truth and at that point, invoke the 25th Amendment. Kamala Harris should have taken over at that point, at some point.
And, you know, and at least we would know that it's the actual president making the very, very critical decisions. And I do believe that it would invalidate some of these commutations and pardons if, in fact, he did not sign off specifically on them. You just can't lay out criteria. That's not what the power of the pardon is all about.
CALLER: I agree, but I think we both agree that there were a lot of decisions made during the Biden administration that he had no part in honestly.
