wait. he's he that whole grace not cam shooting from the outside. >> he went in and shot the bear. and the bear camsamee out the se hole he did. >> that's the craziest part to me, is that he had to crawl in there knowing, like having no idea where this bear was in the hole. if he was going to get out of the crawlspacn the. s it's so scary. i need someone to help if i'm killing a spider. so bravo f i to that man. >> yeah, i don't know.don't i don't think enough money could get me to do that byth wa. shameless plug. i think that guy is going to join us on "fox and friends" in the morning, so don't it? >> great. thank you so much for being with us. that is all for tonight, by the way, don't forget to watch "fox and friends" tomorrow morning where. e morn you'll hear more about that story. you can also go to fox nation that is aldon't foe in the holy land, israel at war. >> thanks for being here. and remember, i'm not water and this is not my world. happy new year, everybody. to

hello, everyone, and welcome to this speciaecial edition of "hannity". i'm tammy bruce. and for sean, on this last fridayn of han. tammy b of 2023. >> we begin with a shocking f displariy of authoritarianism in the state of all places, the state of mainenism. last night, secretary of state shenna bellows, a devout democrat, decided that shepowe alone has the power to pick and choose who is allowed to appear on the 2024on republican primary ballot. and of course, donal the rd trud not make the cut. >> maine's far left secretary. of state believes deep in her heart that trump committedlievet act of insurrection despite no charges or convictions o tr lik that. yeah. naturally, moments after . banning trump, bellows appearedd on msnbc and cnn to brag o about her heartfelt decision. >> watch this. to follow the man to, ensure the candidates,

all the candidates who appear on the primary ballot are qualified for the office they seek. >> it is unprecedented. no secretaryseek of state has er deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on section tion 13 three of the 14th amend. but no presidential candidate has ever engaged in insurrection. >> yeah, boycandid, maybe they haven't done it because it's not appropriate. now, according to sheena bellows, who was an elector for joe biden in 2020. her personal feelings, as you could see it there, i think she was going to cry, supersede the democraticng the dem. almost everyone with a functioning brain disagrees. crying out loud. maine's left-wing senator angusd king said the decision should rest with the people, noec t with sheena. the state's other senator, susan colline or susans. >> we have a kin cd of a back ad forth relationship with her call for the decision to bein t overturned by the courts. >> and the criticism didn't stop there. watche cri h this.e you have a secretary of statea who is a known partisa n one,

who is known to be against trump. she supported the impeachment of trump single handedly making this decision. to say the formeachment r cannot be on the ballot, taking away our right as voters in this country to decide who we wan t to serve as our next president and commander in chief, it opens up box.'s can you have a republican secretary of state disqualify biden from the ballot because he's let in 8 million a m people illegally? >> a massive invasion? i will voluntarilyillieople illf republican candidate, remove myself from any gop primary ballot. one of my competitors, donald trump, included, is forcibly removed through this unconstitutional maneuver. all righty. even professional trump hater adam kinzinger was perplexed by sheena bello's actions. watch this. i don't like the idea of a secretary of state, frankly, from a different party making a decision to keep a presidential candidate decisi the ballot. that opens a real pandora's box

from a different party in 2022. >> bellows tweeted, quotparty i the fundamental right of any american citizen to vote freely, fairly, and to havamica their vote counted is the premise of our democracy. abut now, according to bellowst that fundamental right does not extend to trump supporters . here now with some reaction. and boy they have some is the author of a new explainer for the constitution of the united states. the book everyone consti ited stae right now.s righ fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett and former acting attorney general matthew whitaker. gregg jarret t bellows is not an attorney. she i think she ran for senate, couldn't couldn't win. she is appointed to thiss appoin position and. e she was likexc excited that shed did something no one else hason ever done before in her position. >> but there's lots of thing, t se that other people haven't done because you just shouldn't do them. telljust us your take on what ti really means at this point. >> well, she managedt. embarrasn herself in her bid for 15 minutes of fame. aunche she launched a full frontald

assault on the constitution and our democratic principles. this is brazen election interference, ballot rigging ine and, disenfranchisement of some 300,000 voters in the state of maine. and it's happening tami because democrats read the polls. they know that joe biden i the s in deep trouble. >> so they're willing to do anything to ensure that he winsr by hook or by crook, if even it means bastardize the 14th amendment insurrection clause. >> it doesn't to the officeoffi of the president. >> it specificallyce spells out who it applies to representatives, senators and electors. pr the president holds a different duty, takeesent s a different oh as chief executive. second of all, they haveall, managed to deprive trump of his due process rights under that very amendment, the 14th amendment. >> he hasn't been charged or triethe , hed or convicted. or

and finally, you know that insurrection clause is not self-enforcing. it is no nt enforced by the states. s.section five says only congres has the power to it. >> they did so by codifying insurrection in the criminalnal code. that would be the proper process. ut but, you know, as one u.s. senator from kansas says, you know, nothing screamspr protection of democracy like kicking a main contenderotf on the ballot. oh, you know, great. you're so methodical.ou and you know, you've written a book on the constitution and you're speaking as, though the democrats care because they are finding it agains, t the curtain that has now been pulled back. isn't this really feels likecai the campaign they're campaigningng? now they know he's not being charged. they know he didn't commit it. they know he's not goingommittee convicted of it. i mean, that would be the first thing jackson is would have

gone for. but they really want to see this into the dynamic for voters everywhere, thinking, well, well, these officials think he did it. se >> maybe he did do it.trum and they say trump is pre problem. >> well, right. and remember, she did this after the appeal already in place from the colorado ruling. >> and so really, this is justs her virtue signaling. and you suffering from trump derangement syndrome. but i thinfr trumpk it's time ft of the american people to ask themselves, why are theyo as trg to not allow americans to tod trump?it boils >> and i think at the end of the day, it boils down to just simply that the exu left who is exerting these efforts to try to eliminate him from being an option on the ballot and the elites they represent are afraid of donald trump because trum know that he represents the things that they have really ruined in the last four years. reallyou know, they have hurt the american worker.

their policies are not working americs and they that donald trs going to come back and not owe anybody any favorsback is going to do things that are in the american people's best interes t .t and i think that scares the left to death. and that's why they're trying to do whatever thescares to y ce they have to try to take them on at the ballot. you know, it is it's like greg,d like kicking the sand in the guy's face in on the beach. it's like if you're going to do that, if you're if you're going to punch the king, you make ittn the best punch you can. but this also tell s, doesn't it, that because matt, i agree with you, obviously, they see he's with the swing states. he's trump's aheadmp is , whichs these individuals that the american people want trump.oplew so it's not like they don'ant st 'sknow what the american peopleg are thinking. they know he's the choic. e greg and they're doing it anyway. isn't that shocking in andlf of itself? oh, yeah, absolutely. but they're also stepping on the rake and hitting in the head,, because every criminallves

indictment in of donald trump s elevates, you know, the polls and this brazen effort to trample on the constitution and the 14th amendment fore purely partisan reasons isn'tr e going to sell to americanoters people. >> the u.s. voters are pretty smart. they seearpretty srt going on h. this is like indictments politically driven. >> the numbers, matt alonega show that nothing not only has it not worked, it is elevated. president trump you worked with the man. we all we all know what he did. w,that has to go through this and his family goes through it. but the fact of the matterrough is he can withstand it. and the american people talk about an educationth, matt, about the nature of what e of.emocrats are capabl >> it is it's not only that. know that he'll eat this like an energy bar and fight through it. an ebaylly, he's probabl of the few, if not only the only american that could take

this on. >> i mean, because if you think about the the multi-front assaulabout tht that whether ite criminal cases, the civil cases, these ballot challenges,g like everything is just an ongoing battle and he just is is in undefeatable in this. >> but, you know, at the end of the day, i think that's so te important, tammy, that the american people are smart. they see re right through this. but we are also having, i think, important conversation als s about, what the constitution means and why it's in place. and we're preservingany it's i t by trying to dig into it and talk about it. >> great point. so even gettinlk about it.g oncg donald trump just by existing is helping the country. all right, gentlemen, than ng tk you very much.ry and get that great jarrett book. we all need it. all right. now,.now, one democratic congressman who actually voted to impeach donalwhotedd trump an blasted bellos, writing, quote, we are a nation of laws. therefor e, trump is actually found guilty of the crime of insurrection, which not going to happen. he should be allowed on the ballot. e allowenow, make no mistake, ts

creates a dangerous new precedent that will come back to haunngerous t democrati. but we do hope she, bu anabelle enjoys her 15 minutes of fame. i don't know if i hope sheof f does, but here nowame. with mor fox news contributor, former house speaker. speakeformer houser of the hous, of course, newt gingrich. speaker gingrich, thank you so much for being with me tonight. you know, your experience, an speaks for itself and yourou insight about the naturet of al of the things that we've seen in this country is invaluable. but this is really with all the things we would have wi of, the left and of, the democrats,th this really dos jumped the shark, if you will. tell me your thoughts on what we've been experiencing. well, i think we need to refocus on what's happening. there's too much talo k about t war against trump. this is not a war againsagayer a trump. this is a war against the american people. r ericanyou see that with roberf kennedy jr, who's talked

about the fact that the left wants an oligarchy to run everything and they won't allowt him to compete. right? you see, if you talk to thiteenr people at no labels who've been working very hard to obey kithe rules and may well be on all 50 ballots and in every state, we've had democrats try to keep them off the ballot and think about the attack in colorado is not on donald trump. the attacks on, the million 300,000 coloradans who voted for him, the attack in maine is not on donald trump. he carried the northern district of maine. so this is an attack on every person in the northern district of maine. and i think we need to be very clear. you know, if you're jewish, you probably shouldn't be too open about ie t at harvard or columbia because you'll get punished iharvard f. e th you actually believe that there are only two sexes. you probably shouldn't say it toere aro openly because you'lll get punished and go down the list. the other totalitariandn left ad the assault on the americaeyn people, they cannot survive. >> if you have a free and fair u election. t

and so they're devoting huge amounts of money. i mean, if hug if we had a news media worthy of the effort, they would be out right now findin, they wg out from soros y other left-wing group how, much money is being poured into is by change thisl country. and the numbers would be staggering. and all it is an attack on donald trump. it's an attackt isn' on the amen people. he happens to be the vehicle for their desire for real change. but what they're terrified trum of is not just trump. it's the underlying nature s of the american and their desire for a patriotic for values.d on solid >> and excellent point, because obviously, if you can't vote for the person that you like, that is the strikeu likei the individual engaged in this process separate from donaldge trump, that it is about what we understand our system to be about this republic we have and about us being the boss and making these choices.

and so, you know, we know elect we speakwhen you about funding. we know a left wing group who funded the lawsuit was a case that got to the colorado supremcase thae court and of co, maine. there was no case. this was just a declaratioe wah and there are more states considering doing this. o when we still had three democrats on that colorado supremey court dissen. now, that makes me feele that there is some hoperats that there are democrats who are also seein thag as amako problem. what do you make of that? because this clearly seems to be organized by something than each state alone. well, look, there's clear there's a nationwideovemen left-wing movement of radicals who want opet n borders. they want to abolish teaching american history. they want to impose on second,sd third and fourth gradersth a series of ird, choices that m people think is irrational. >> jusis irratt go down the lisa

>> and these people are all connected to each other. llected tothey're all funded by like soros. they're all funded by the ford soro and a whole range of other. the elites collectively wantof to somehow radically change america and subordinated to aatt larger global system. and they're doing everythingo eo they. the new york times is sort of their primary cheerleader. "the washington post" is a secondary cheerleader. but these folks all are determined to destroy the america that you and i grew up in and replace it with a remarkably different country. and part of what's happeninge ps is and trump happens to be the person who polarizes. but what'sonizes i happening ise numbers of americans are saying happ and all that is i think that the democrats are now in increasing trouble because they're so clearly the partypa of outrageous anti-american behavior. >> you know, this is what's striking, thoughrt ou. well, as i guess it's justit that they continually underestimat'se, the american people or really have a

a contempt for the naturnde, maybe not in l.a. and new york ,but in that great middle space of of a nation that saved the world many times over. >> the peoplr,e who live in anonymity, work hard, you know, farm, create things,ca run productionte and are quiet about it. itd it seems and this is heartenin, and g as well, that those individuals are constantly underestimatedly and spat upon by the cosmopolitan elite in this country. well, you know, children, examples of the world. you'll remember that hillary's term for all the rest ofrm for us irredeemable that you can tfs serve the need to understand every a word. and then another >> irr. remember barack obama at a fundraiser in san francisco talking about small towns in pennsylvania where a wherpeople cling to their guns and their bible. that's why i mean, the level of contempt for everyday americans was astonishing. and by the way, that has

further polarized the country. and i think you're going to se e the left become a smaller and smaller part of the american scene. >> well, that is perhaps one of the silver linings here. this ng's is going to it has had to happen. and i'm lucky that you're here with us. and than d tok very much for your insights here. mr. speaker, i appreciate it. isra coming up, the left'ssighte anti-israel protests hit yet another new low. you didn't int think it wasd possible. you won't believe what happened yeutwe tapebut we will sho you the tape. plus, harvard president claudine in hot wate pharvey a r again. victor davis hanson weighs in next. >> if you like john, we've got not one, john, but two jobs. well, well, well, one motorcycle. john. what about jeff? john? what about john and john in the same room? no, they're on two separate shows. night court and extendedta family. >> check your local listings ism standing sick and tired of cold and flu products that don't work. they'l one physician recommended

the september 11th memorial. taketh a look behind and it get worse. earlier thisgets another pro ha protest was planned at the holocaust museum in, washington, d.c. ultimately, the demonstration was canceled dculti backlash. meanwhile, harvard's president, claudine , still somehow hasll has a job despite scandal surrounding both anti-semitism and plagiarism. and harvard is paying the pricbp ,according to a new report. one billionaire is joining the list of frustratedlawhen mis suspending their donations in the wake of her disastrousf testimony on anti-semitism. meanwhile, communism and the

anti-israel protests are engaging in a real love ur engag real . surprise records reveal a group t partya is the communis of china is behind some of these vile protest bs. i know it's shocking. another marxist group funded by a wealthyved fund american ce is also allegedly coordinating the demonstrations i. action s here with reaction, senior fellow at the hoover institution. fellow victor davis hanson, a friend, obviously, of this show and this network and of all of you out there. victor, we've starting being here in new york, the goal, but also this, the brazen confidence of these maniacs demonstrating at the september 11th memorial, thinking they're going to target the holocaust museum y . what does this say to you to about what has been created here, the environment by. well, the administration, ssivi by passivity in general? >> well, first, they have contempt for us, the american

people, and ofthe amer for our government, because they feel that we cannot or will not enforce the law because what are they not incapable? tammy desecrating the lincoln memorial. it's disruptining thg a nativite scene, going to rockefeller center that attack the national tree, chasing jewish students into libraries, trapping them there. >> they're capable of almost anything. brary.these and for those who s first and second generation immigrants, they have a right. as long as they don't break the law under the firsto amendment. >> but for those who are on green cards or in student visaars, if they're so unhappy with their homes and their magnanimity, they see as weakness to be exploited, then why don't they just t t they jgo back and they go be autocratic and dictatorial societies that they seem to be cheering on? october 7th was a moral litmus test, and it was not very hard to figure out. on one side, there was russia dictatorial communist china and theocratic iran cheering on hamas.

on the other side, there was support from north american democracies. one side mutilated, decapitated ,engage in necrophilia, every pre-modern savagery. >> the other side did not. they they notified people when they hadnotifi to go into civili areas. one side used shields. nto civilione side puts their headquarters under hospitals, schools and mosque. and here in the united states, it's a mirror image. one side wears massck. side one side violates the law. one side disrupts commerce occupies bridges and the pro-israel israelis. not. can't figuree out that difference, then they have no moral compass at all. >> would you say obviously freedom of expression demonstrations? as a former community organizer, i've relied on thatt, we all as americans love it. >> but when you are targeting jewish jewish students and yot to target the holocaust museum, you go to th te september 11th memorial, but particularly about the attackths on jews. >> isn't that a hate crime, though? th's seeking to reinforce

the terror and the horroatr of october 7th to jews here and around the world. october how how should we handl? >> no charges will be placed against you. well, we should clamp down on it. and we should. we shoulmp down ond anybody at s who does that, and we should apply. they always champion the left hate crimes. but when you look at hat e crimehey ma statistics, jews make up two and a half percent of the populationkep . for they account for 55 to 60% of hate crime victims. and nobody's 6 upset about it.it the left especially. so we've got to have a complete recalibration of what it is toiw be anti-semitic. c, but it has w to be intolerable. but when you have three college university presidents and theyts can, they say it only depends on contextay. and they're asked, well, what would make you punish t would anti-semitism that callr the of the people, the representatives, the staff annex said, well, did you have to injure somebody before you woulave to d actually applyr some code of behavior to them? and they and theoup y all wein

all live we live in an empire of lies. >> all these presidentn empires said it's contact. >> it's never contacts with them. withd that about blacks black or latinos or trans or, what people doing and saying about jews, they would have been expelled in a nanosecond. >> what we already knew that? yeah, their conduct is yeah, they went before congress and they lied. yeah. if you miss congress and lied, you know, this is. but there's still noere is s wha repercussions. and that's also what concerns me when we when we thinkt e, n with the donors, at least now money matters right? with for everybody. money matters. donors finally seeing this.thist but isn't this, though, the natural extensiohenl and shouldn't we have expected this with the bds effort that the rhetoric that has been coming out of all these universitiesbeen com, what is it that made people look the way they've been? >> absolutely. they've been living on a pat hfume the fumes of past glory. >> that was the results of better generous agents

who were scholars and they were public spirited. and that's what built thes is e great universities. and we destroyedes that capitala in one generation. >> harvard can be the most prestigioun bes and the most preeminent university in the world and remainprand th or it e a plagiarist and a woman who cannot distinguish that it's wrong to call for the and destruction of jewish people. iwrong tobut it can't be both.. >> it cannot be both. is it? since it's deeper, she clearly is a symptom of something much deeper. is it possible for us to fix this now? i know things sometimes seem very complicated and horrible in the moment it's happening, ha but are these universities, which are great institutionspp,o are they salvageable in the midst of this? and can the deepsalvage in the t really be excised? >> we are attacked. we have a misconception that are private entities.at they they receive multi-billion cdollars in research grantswe n and we can enforce the bill of rights before they ca bill on

get them. c we can tax their endowment income if it comes to thatnt , e can get out of the $2 trillion subsidized student loan business the. we have leverage on these private elite universities and we need to exercisloans, we. and maybe that will encourage other universities not to folloill w down this path. but if you give them a blank check and they're awasif you gh in money, then what would you expect other than what we get? weother thwe get t incompetencee immorality. and that's a really bad combination. n >> it is. it is. it is bad. and of course, the timing no w, we see it.caut we can d it o something about it and we've got to make that happen. victor davis hanso n, thank you again. great job. now up next, biden's border e crisis is putting a massive financial burden on the american taxpayer. massivncial will the administrar take action? well, we'll discuss as this special edition of "hannity" continues television's number one new comedy is back again.

america is listening. welcome back to the special edition of "hannity". joe biden's border crisis is spiraling of control like never before, and that's hard to believe, but it's true. sog out ofs tell fox news that december alone has already set a neurw record for migrant encountersh with over 275,000.n and here's anotherothe number to know 6.2 million. that's the number of illegal six- a this country that ice wants to deport but does not hav e custody. oops, that number has jumped. jget ready. from 3.7 million in 2021. meanwhile, secretary of state tony blinkenme and dhs secretare alejandro mayorkas met with mexico's this week. okay, great. right. well, they returnes presidt thie more than a new plan for amnest y. an >> and the financial burdenfina of this crisisnc is only growin. >> a congressional report shows the net costongressi of illegal

immigration is now greater than the annual gdp of 15 different states. >> in california, residents nearates, the border are complee overwhelmed by the surge. they say that largd bye groups of illegal immigrants are camping out on their property while authoritiesn do nothing, citing california's sanctuary laws. this is california seeks to lure even more illegal immigrants, offering every pe-called undocumented person, unlimited, taxpayer funded health carrsyer-funde. is th you have to wonder, is the wide open border intentional? e wide i we really, as i argue y latest column at anacortes, u.s., biden's border crisis sure seems like a deliberate ms like effort to destroy our cs sovereignty and security. i know it's weird. here now with reaction are fox news contributors jason chaffetzs,, t host democratic strategist doug schoen, and podcast host kyra davis. thank you all for joining me on this last friday of 2023.

and i hope that the does whyr i want the door to hit 2023oe and its bottom when it goes out the door. kara, let's start withdoorifornn you because you i'm a native californian. you're there in california. nt you know, this l.a. county just set up their own no bail because, you know, they wanto to, you know, make everything worse, like everyone else. but now we've got a dynamic where people are realizinggot a that this is like a bullet train that is not going to stop and is ruining lives. what are you hearing out there ? >> well, it's definitely the only high speed train we're going to get in california,er that's for sure.e in s you know, it's not just what i'm hearing, tammy. it's what i'm experiencing. ar i mean, as old as we are in real trouble here. and you're absolutelble herey r. the governor has opened the spigot even further. openen furth now. offerown we're offering free healthin care. but unfortunately,e. that's not the first of our very generous benefits that we're offering to people who break our laws. we offer driver's licenses. we offer votinr , we g in some l

elections. voting be officers in some areas in california. offi there's almost no differenn now between mece and illegal immigrants here in the state of california. the person who is hatemigrants d the most in the state of california, me, is the taxpayera . got t yeah. great point, jason. you know, we've got thishi dynamic where if people are here illegally know, we really don't knowgally who they are. we don't know what their background is. we know that the capture of known or suspected terrorists that list is enormous. and yet who has gotten away? enormousthis is a national secuy issue, an economic issuesecuri, you know, a crime issue. >> it touches every single important social framework. t >> yeah, the border patrol is not allowed to do their job. ice is allowed to do their job. if you're here illegally, you get treated bettern they d and easier than you do an american citizen. you get free airlines flights.h

even though you don't have id. you can get on, you gedo t on flights, you get free health care. well, guess what? they're also going to give themo the access to be able to have jobs. and then, you know, you have americans who are paying their taxes and their parents paid their taxes their and they having trouble finding housing hardh. cost of rent so hig >> well, guess what?ence that's a consequence of having millions of people her of e who need housing. >> and so all of these expensesf come at our expense for their benefit. and if joe biden and kamala harris are doing this on purpose, it's a 100% done on purpose to affect us. peand it is fundamentally wrong how joe biden can get away without in forcing the current law is just beyond me and thinkp there will. and i hope and i prae y that in 2024 there'll be a huge consequence at the polls. >> you know, just to follow upk, on that quickly, jason, the thing that makes the that ml that because it's unbelievable that anye american alone,

the president, would deliberately do this to us because there's no winner. but now the biden dojoj is threatening to sue the state of texas for daring to pass their law that would allow them to arrest foreign nationalslly n who illegally enter their state. like, they don't want that state to be able to dter ti o that. >> yeah. again, they're doing nothing to secure and lock down the border for the secretary of state and the secretary of homeland security to go to mexico, meet with the o to, mexico, walk away with absolutely nothing other than, hey, we haay witd good me and now we want to talk about amnesty. >> that's more of a magnetut am >> bring. exactly. that can make the situation worse. exactly. doug schoen, you know, this clearly it transcends partisanship. i mean, all this, the economy and crime, the burglar or the the murderer or the home, that the denette not being able to find a home. it matter if you're a republican or a democrat. this is about being americans. and yet there's incentive after

incentive. even now, they came out of that meeting in mexico with really h more of the discussion about how to give amnesty to those now who are herowo gie >> what's your take on what's going on? what's it what's in their minds at this point? on? >> you know, tami, i wish i could say i knew. i believe that the d democratic party, of which i aee a member, has been really takenl overy by an ideology that is both welcoming of illegal immigrants. and somehow it is our response ability to take anyone who shows up, regardless of their legal status, what they've done, who they are. and as a democra dont, i believe need border security. we need it now. ocrat, iand for those in my pary who disagree, jason is right. it will be at our peril and it will be at the perils of the united if we don't tighten the border, enforce the laws

and stand up for america and put thosp e that are here legal and lawfully first. >> yeah. caralawf, you know, you're a parent. you're i think you live in southern californiathink yo. when we talk about free health care, you know, people who go on to the marketplace, you still have to provide some documents to see maybex get like a tax benefit so that maybe you can afford health care. maybe ythere seems to be this e rejection or contemptue that continues for people like you, for the average personthe v who's trying to make a living. is this resonatingerperson we st in the polls, but on the ground, is it resonating, do you thinkhe, with the average american? i definitely think it's resonating with the average american. k the problem is the average american doesn't really watch a lot of news. and the news they do watchh is certainly very tainted, as you and i know. so i think there are a lot of people that feel thisi thin viscerally at a visceral level, they understand they're nok fet

safer. everyone i talked to is complaining about public transportation is taabou, crimee city, all the things we talk about all the time on this channe bout alln thisl. and so i know that people are feeling it, but they're not necessarily being informed or gettinre notg informed about the reason for it. and so when they do turn intfort tune in to the media or pop culture offerings, what they're getting is, well offerin this is republicans fault. yes. so i thinkt. as we go into 2024, we really need to learn how to message better t and loudly bete because people need to know. i tell my kids all the time, ouh tammy, when you complain about something around here, just remember democrats did thisere, to you, right? you know, jason, but this is this is it. what you know, we can we all know what's going on. we can complain and point out another burning villa, you know, that nero set. bu that but there's it becomes exhausting. what can the republicans what should the republicans be doing at this point? because it's got to beats pore t more just we're not the democrats. this has really got to be about reforming what this

country means and what congress and what politicians can actually do for us. >> well, we got to prioritize the people that are doing it legally and lawfully . that a and that that's those are the people that are getting harmed by this. you're almosregoing to be t a c you actually go through the legal, lawful way. >> by the way, we bring go t. bring a a millionillion people legally, lawfully, so we can treat them as human beingsgn . but we've got to also show the human toll why your rent human o much higher, why you're having to pay all these extra things, why the crimbyrimee is going up and the people in texas and arizona that are living with thia s in california and al these other cities and you're wondering why you aren'ter getting good services in new york and boston and minneapolis and and san francisco.fr >> it's because they've got to spend billions becauss dollas to pay up for this sanctuary city status in this sanctuary state. >> they asked for it. they got it. y state. let's remember, it was j joe biden and kamala harris that were flyingoeen off to thoe states. don't be blaming governor abbott.

they were flying off to those te states when this first rate point grade point. joll, thank you all again so much for joining me on this friday, especiallyin on this holiday weekend. i appreciate it. great insight. cop t, it wasar for insigh a dark year for our nation's capital as crime spiraletal of control. we have all the details as this special edition of "hannity" continues right after this. if you like, john, we've got not one, john, but two jobs. well, well, well, one motorcycle. john what about jeff, john? what about john and john in the same room? same room? they're on two separate shows. night court and extended family . >> check your local listings. israel is under attack. >> the war against israel begang with the murdeodr of of precious children in this orphanage. bomb shelter. we're praying for god's help. countle devaste vinamilk knowans our father, our kingh . countless israelis are enduring

>> help us build a more inclusive world. perhaps no city in the country had a worsrse year than our nation's capital. washington, d.c. crime is out of control, higher than almost anywhere else in america. it's murder rate is at a twoer r decade high. you guysate a two , d.c., is al the carjacking capital of america with 940 reported incidents this year. a stunningported i number for td largest city in the

united states. things are gettingcity bad that downtown d.c. is two sports teams, the capitals are and the wizards are fleeing fle city for a new stadium in northern virginia. here now with reaction are former fbi agentirginia, nicole parker and fox news contributor leo terrell. thank you both joining meyou tonight. nicole, let me start with you because, look, thifos is its the nation's capital. we love it. and it's heartbreaking that thi it anngs is happening.buildi there's it's all the federal buildings. you've got the, you knowng, pole the capitol police and you've got the fbi sitting right ther i e . americans are wondering why is this happening in washington ? can you tell us? what's your take on that? >> you know, i have a perspective that might be a little unique having>> tha beenn fbi special agent. y fors it's reall three reasons that there is such a drastic rise in crimue in. number one, i think that there is a lack of respectat for law enforcement. defunding the police has enfofunding backfired on many o democratic cities, including washington, d.c. they have completelycratic c demoralized w

enforcement. that's number one. number two, i say the lack of accountability and the lack of consequences for these criminaly and s. look, if there's no accountability, they're going to continue to do this, repeatth . they're very dangerous. that's got to stop. rember three, i thin gotk it's t the lack of respect for human decency and human life right now. and i thinn decenck lot of thats to what some of these miners are being taught in school, reand especially happening in o home is the home is there are no morals in the breakdown of theme're are fundamental un of society, i believe is the family when that's broken down. it is that ia recipe for disast. and i can tell you, as an fbiag, agen it, there was a carjacking that occurred in washington, d.c. with an fbi special agente out of the washington field office on november 30th of this year. >> and many people don't know about thispeopleon't, but the fl agent was the victim of awas carjackingthe . nt a how is that that an armed special agent is now being carjacked and theyagents i give up their four year old car? again, i don't want to pass judgment and i will maket want clear. no law enforcement officer eve

r wants to have to use deadly force. force, but w, justified you are trained that your life or someone else's life is at risk. sk it is absolutely justified. but you may not be aware that the doj changed the deadly force policy in july of 2022. ti and so myself, this is one of the reasons i left the fb ofi didn't feel like this current administration or the department of justice woul i back up if i was in a shooting. so it may be that that agent didn't feel that theng doj would even back them up. you know, it is a remarkable also when you think about the fbi is so busy with politicsh pi and with going after certain lis that there seems to be no real focus. it just almost afocus aln aband. leo of our big cities of of you know, incredibly important urban areaportant s, cities thae a part of the american dream. >> los angeles, san francisco, detroit, new york, etc.. and yet the democrats keep saying, you know, we're your champions, we're here to help you. but al ions, wel policies, leo have

created these hellscapet are that are destroying the lives of the people that they used dethe liveto claim be represent. >> well, let me just be a little bit harsher there, nicole. >> the democrats, nancy excuse me. >> the democrats. tammy, do not want lawt, t enforcement. >> they're against. they're against prisons. they arehe 100% against having law enforcement to take caree cm from the criminals. it represents the political insentbase, the progressive left wants to eliminate prisons. >> they do not support police after this has happened eversu since 2020. let's not kid ourselves. if they go after an arrested o support the crime, if they go out and arrest the criminals, guess what? utcome ublack lives matter. all these progressive left groups are going to yell the race car goingd. tal. >> this is the national capital. and no one's protected except joe biden because he got secret service protection. but let'biden bes be very clearr the democrats will never support law enforcement that is

the reason why we left the democratic party in 2020. >> they suppor0. they st. i'm old enough to remember, amy, six months ago, the washington, d.c. council went to relax the criminal laws to favor criminals. but for congress they overrode that. that's the only reason why your penaltyonly rea is put the enforced. why should a police officer risk his lifshe if he's not going to be backed upe by the democratic partbay if fo that happens? let me follow up on this, because it reallupy you know, i'm a former democrat, right? we both sides, we understandlety this is completely nonpartisan. this kind of an issue. but it becomes this question about when can see what happens when you don't have law enforcement. but peopleen you d in washington in congress, people who work at the white house and c, people guards. they have separate security. right. they'vave e got a way outhingto of washington. if there's some, you know, a national emergencyn if the. i see? it is the biggest gap not w between the elite and the

regular person. and is is this somethingar pers, you know, when we think about democrat leadership versus the average grassroot wes voter are democrats? and i think we saw it in 2016 and we may see it again. are they understood ending why this is happening at this point? >> yes amy, listen, the democrat party has changed. cl it is the party, the elit ch they don't care about the middle class. that's why the average citizena is leaving the democratic party. >> this is no fluke in washington, d.c., los angeles, chicago, san francisco, philadelphia, new york city. there's a pattern. democratic cities. democratic mayors. soft progressive prosecutors. they are allowing the criminals to control the city. they're trying to break down the civilized society. bread society where law enforcement go. >> what a bulwark be, nicole, the fbi itself, federal law enforcementself,t, people who hs a point of view that can see further downdown the road abouts

important about this nation. when you were in the fbi, didd you find agents disturbed at the at the political direction of the agency? what is the sentimen agent now? and i'm sure you still speak with some of the agents now and other federal law enforcement. >> can you speak to that? absolutelyfedera. 100%. fbi agents and agents across the board are disgusted at how politicized the criminal justice e system on the federale level has become. and it is absolutely abhorrentra . we did not i did not go to quantico to serve this country after, witnessing the 911ng the september attacks on america. acks on you have to only be invd in a politicized agency. it is absolutely disgusting. itinticized unacceptable.e av and the averagere american deserves to feel safe. i'm not sure if you're aware, but on christmas morning, the fbi sent out a tweet or, as i say, onex, formerly known as twitter, discussing that, you know, a texas man had pledrc to breaching the capitol on january six and assaulting a policehi the cjanu officer.

this is what they're there are tweeting on christmas mornineeting og a ufo. i mean, this is absolutely disgusting. the fbi should be focusingabsol i think more americans are are disgusted by the violent crime mericansissue and what's happen. they deserve to feel safe to be able to leave their home with and feel comfortable and safe.. litici they've been focused on politicized issues for over three years now. it is timeze. to wh get back to what we shouldat be focused. it's time for us to get back and a whole host of ways. nicole leo, thank you very much. straight ahead, the federal government. taking a bizarre victory lap. why? i'll explain coming up nex t. televisions number one new comedy is back again. that's my baby. i love to serve the people you hate the people now more than ever. a new season of night court. check your local listings and the producers of the masked singer.
