you guys are blowing up my twitter feed over reaction to the louisville mom. go facebook.com/thekellyfile. ♪ welcome to "hannity." 2016 republican front-runner donald trump refuses to back down from his attacks on bill and hillary clinton. i'm rich lowry in for sean tonight. trump continued to criticize the clintons. take a look. >> if you look at the different situations, of course, we can name many of them. i can get you a list and have it sent to your office in two seconds, but there were certainly a lot of abuse of women. and you look at whether it's monica lewinsky or paula jones or many of them, and that certainly will be fair game. certainly if they play the women's card with respect to me that would be fair game.

she talked about oh, he mentioned and the whole thing playing up the women's card very, very strongly. if she's going to play that game and he's going to be out there campaigning, then he's certainly fair game. i think everybody agrees with me on that. this is a person who, you know, he's going to be out and i like the fact that he's campaigning for her. he failed in 2008. he failed really badly. he frankly did a very poor job at campaigning, if you want to know the truth. perhaps he'll do well or perhaps he'll do poorly. but if she's going to play the woman card, it's all fair game. >> joining us with reaction from "the new york times," charlie hurt and fox news ebony williams. >> there is some pushback on this trump offensive saying, look, what fault of it is hillary clinton that her husband cheated on her? but it goes much further than that because hillary was part of the political operation that went out of its way to attempt

to smear and destroy the reputations of bill clinton's accusers? >> yeah. and to me, you know, that's the heart of this charge about sexism and stuff. the clintons, you know, are trying to accuse donald trump of being sexist because of the words he uses and things like that, but, of course, his record shows that he has a record of hiring women and putting them in powerful positions. and yeah, he does use some coarse language, language that shocks people but nothing like what bill clinton did to people that worked for him, young people that worked for him that weren't much older than his daughter. and, of course, as you mentioned, hillary clinton was -- her entire career as first lady before that was dedicated to covering for him, covering for this horrible behavior andoing everything she could to discredit the women, the very strong women who came forward despite the intense pressure not to, who came

forward and said, hey, there's something wrong with this guy. this guy did this to me. she led the charge in destroying those people and their characters. >> eboni, what do you think? a smart play for trump? >> it's fair game certainly. in the law we saw when you introduce something into evidence it becomes fair game. you opened the door for it. the moment hillary clinton brought hillary clinton out on the campaign trail to bolster her, she can't rightfully benefit from the added component of bill clinton and not reap the consequence, too. trump's right about that. but it's interesting because bill clinton remains incredibly popular, incredibly bolstering of enthusiasm for much of the traditional democratic base. that's the thing that hillary clinton, despite her best efforts, still has not been able to tap into, that enthusiasm and that rigor. so i don't know if it's the best choice of trump's part to wake that sleeping giant. i said let hillary be effective, be boring, unstimulated by her

base all by herself. >> i don't think she'll have much of a problem being boring on her own. part of the problem with bill clinton campaigning for her is you see this contrast between this really extraordinary, extraordinarily talented politician, the most natural skilled politician of his generation, and hillary who is just not that good at this. she's sort of a grind. and when bill is out there in 2008 working it hard for hillary clinton, none of his political skills transferred to her when she was trying very hard and ultimately unsuccessfully to beat a much more natural campaigner named barack obama. >> just as the extraordinary coalition and diverse coalition that barack obama has put together in 2008 in that sterling campaign and then kept together pretty well in 2012, just like that new coalition is going to be directly transferable to hillary clinton this year, nor is the

extraordinary talents and gifts for politicking that president obama had. and as brilliant a politician as he was in 2008, there were a lot of stories back then about how she -- how he really in a lot of ways sabotaged her campaign in 2008 and people have wondered about it. and the single-best explanation i've ever heard given for why he would have done it is that he knew that if his wife became the first female president in history, that that would be such a big deal, the only thing that would be remembered about bill clinton would have been all of his antics in the white house and the blue dress and the monica lewinsky. >> do you think that's true, eboni? this is a scary thought. if hillary clinton becomes president she'll be on our currency one day. it will be a very big deal. bill clinton will just be remembered as this transitional figure. >> that's interesting. charlie makes an interesting

point. i think that argument gives bill clinton too much credit, actually. what we saw in 2008 was the clintons both just totally missing the ball, miscalculating, some of the most key points of that demographic, that broad coalition that barack obama tapped into, i'm talking about people of color, i'm talking about college students and young people. they really took that demographic for granted. they had a very entitled attitude going after that and thinking that it was going to be rightfully theirs because it had been in the past. people didn't respond well to that. they saw backlash around t. people were accusing the clintons of kind of being racially insensitive and saying barack obama, you kind of stay in his place. it went very badly for them. a very bad political misstep more than i think a sabotage. >> charlie, let's take a look really quickly because we're talking about clinton and trump and rasmussen has a new poll that we'll get up on the screen about a perspective general election matchup between trump and clinton that is basically tied. to most political observers that

would be shocking but not necessarily to you. >> well, no, because, i mean, the guy has really tapped into something and it's not just angry white people. it's a far larger, broader cross section of voters. i think that we might find that it could very well make up a lot of democrats and independents, but if indeed he is able to get these new voters to the polls the way barack obama did in 2008, it could be a real deal. going back to this, i totally agree with what eboni was just saying about that. that is obviously the reason that they totally whiffed it in 2008. but my point is the bill clinton of 1992 never would have misread that and made those grave mistakes that they made. >> i agree with that point. >> address that poll. >> yes. >> when you look at that poll, does that speak to clinton's weakness, trump's strength or both? >> i think it speaks to both. i'm not shocked by it at all, i agree with charlie. i think on the gop side, trump is probably best suited to run

head-to-head with hillary clinton. i think he can have some cross-aisle appeal in a way that people who never voted for a republican in their life including my own mother will consider voting for donald trump because they believe that he understands the problem. that's kind of the first step here where we are now in today's society and political climate. they feel he's not been a part of these historical problems politically speaking. he's clearly a washington outsider. those problems don't surprise me. the left will be very, very afraid to run against trump head-to-head. >> i got about a minute left. who among the other candidates is the most serious threat to donald trump at the moment in your estimation? >> obviously, ted cruz in iowa, you know, could possibly create a real problem for donald trump. because if he does manage to win iowa and iowa is always a giant asterisk in any of these things, it could still sort of create some turbulence for donald trump that he hadn't experienced before. he's never been behind really before ever since he's gotten

into this. and then, you know, whoever it is that is -- right now chris christie whoever does well in new hampshire does the same thing. quite frankly, after you get past new hampshire, donald trump, when you look at the state by state polls, he continues to look very, very good. >> charlie, we got to get out of here. thanks so much to both of you. happy new year. see you next time. coming up, the 2016 candidates are preparing for the final push before the iowa caucuses. ed henley will have a full report and al jazeera appears o be back tracking after linking peyton manning to performance-enhancing drug. we'll have reaction with brian kilmeade and lou holtz. do you know the secret to a happy home in these modern times? it's a housewife who's in control of the finances. actually, any wife, husband, or human person

we have an olde we have an olde here's what's happening. the republican field of candidates is now down to 12. former new york governor pataki officially ended his race for the white house. he entered back in may but never caught fire and poll numbers hovered at 1%. he had a difficult time raising money for his campaign his decision coming before the first primary in iowa. one for the record books is how meteorologists are describing the storm system pummelling the nation's mid-section the past several days. the torrential rains are being blamed for 18 deaths and rivers at illinois and missouri are at the flooding stage and several

are being evacuated before it overfl overflows. i'm kelly wright. now back to "hannity." k to "han" with the iowa caucuses just 33 days away bs candidates on both sides of the aisle are pounding the campaign trail. joining me with a full report from washington is ed henry. >> good to see you, rich. what we really saw today was the battle for the anti-trump establishment lane of the republican party intensify as chris christie and jeb bush launch sharp attacks on senator marco rubio. he responded in iowa by rolling out an important endorsement, the former rock star, the benghazi house committey chairman ben gowdy. they say they've got a whole bunch of other endorsements. they've got polls in iowa and nationally showing rubio in third place behind donald trump, who you've just been talking about, and senator ted cruz. and with rubio sort of filling up that space there in third place, that's why you see all of these other candidates today

slamming him for missing votes in the senate. chris christie at a campaign stop in iowa ripping into rubio by saying, dude, show up to work. if you don't like it, quit. while the super-pac supporting jeb bush again went after his former protege. they now have an ad buy charging rubio was fund-raising instead of attending some important hearings and briefings on the hill. watch this. >> days after the paris attacks, senators came together for a top secret briefing on the terrorist threat. marco rubio was missing. fund-raising in california instead. two weeks later terrorists struck again in san bernardino. and where was marco? fund-raising again in new orleans. over the last three years, rubio has missed important national security hearings and missed more total votes than any other senator. politics first, that's the rubio way. >> chris christie has spent a lot of time away from new jersey

while he's been campaigning. while rubio notes that the senator received a high level briefing after the paris attacks. rubio spokesman adding it's sad to see jeb's joyful campaign reduced to such intellectual dishonesty. the sparring frees up donald trump to focus on the general election. doubling it down on his attacks on both hillary and bill clinton. and there's a new element now, fox's own howard kurtz reporting that donald trump as early as next week as the new year starts is going to start spending up to $2 million a week for several weeks on his first tv ad buy. so think about that. donald trump has been dominating the republican polls without, as you know, rich, spending very much money at all. all of a sudden this big tv ad buy, that could really swamp his competitors at a critical time right before iowa and the new hampshire race. >> ed, thank you very much. joining us now with reaction, vice president at wpa research, lisa boothe. and fox news contributors julie

roginsky and jedediah bila. >> hi, rich. >> let me start with you because jeb bush has been sitting -- or at least his people, sitting on this death star of a super pac that's run a bunch of ads trying to boost him, which hasn't worked so far. now they're hitting trump, now they're hitting rubio. they're going to hit some more people i'm sure coming very soon. is this desperation or is this just smart hardball politics? >> it is desperation. and if you look at the ads specifically targeting marco rubio, it's incredibly tone deaf. right now there's a desire for republican voterses for an outsider. voters are concerned -- they don't feel safe right now with the terrorist attacks in san bernardino with the terrorist attacks in paris. we have the lowest work force rate since the 1970s. people care about jobs and the economy. they care about feeling safe. they don't care about rubio's voting attendance.

>> the ad makes it seem as though as long as senators are attending their committee hearings, america is completely safe. and the terrorists will never hit us. >> well, as somebody who works in the senate, i'm very happy to hear that people actually care about what happens there, but the reality is it doesn't really matter all that much. for somebody like chris christie to come after marco rubio is the height of hypocrisy. he is not even a new jersey resident any more. he's been gone for more than half the year campaigning god knows where. and for him to hit marco rubio is preposterous. i'm not a rubio supporter, but have a little shame. >> the thing about rubio, he's actually leaving the senate. you know, it's not as though he wants to stay there and attend all his committey hearings. >> he's won and done. there are probably issues you can go after rubio on on issues and policy, attendance to me is such a silly thing to go after. there are plenty other issues if you want to get into that lane and take over from rubio in that conservative moderate lane.

>> if you squint just right, at the polls and you look at bush, you can see how his competition in new hampshire, three out of four out of second place. what's your read on his political health? >> the desperation from jeb bush, it's alarming. some of the worst ads that i've seen have come from either pacs supporting him or directly from him. i mean, just terrible, terrible stuff. it's really funny because he was so supportive of marco rubio just a few years back. they were so tight. this is what americans can't stand about politics. now he's criticizing marco left and right. weren't you telling us how great this guy was a couple of years ago? what made you change your mind? because politically that's what he has to do. he needs to rely on himself. be the kind of candidate that can step on the debate stage and inspire confidence. he looks angry, not confident. he looks like the donald trump

and every other candidate on the stage takes the mike away from him easily and makes him look nervous like he's not the man fit for the job. that's the issue. instead of picking on rubio's voting record, he should be concerned for himself. >> another thing that strikes me about this ad, i think marco rubio has the most natural predators of anyone in this field. trump hates him on immigration, cruz hates him because he's potential competition for the conservative vote. jeb, christie and kasich are competing with him in new hampshire for the non-trump, non-cruz vote. everyone has a reason to be after marco rubio. >> well, they do. and exactly, those are the things they should be hitting marco rubo on. hit him on immigration. don't hit him on his voting record. john mccain missed more than half of his senate votes when he was running for president. back to jeb bush and the desperation factor, look at him trying to take on donald trump by challenging him to a one on one debate. not only is it desperate, but so uncharacteristic for jeb bush to

be trying to play this mr. tough guy kind of role. just not believable right now. >> julie, donald trump doesn't need any of our advice. he's doing fine. he's the front-runner in all the national poll. what advice would you give to the other candidates to either try to get around trump or just beat him? >> well, i'm going to give some advice to the democrats, some of these guys, listen up, republicans, if i were in iowa, if i were ted cruz, he's got to win iowa, he's got to spend his money on get out the vote efforts. >> and he appears to have really done that. >> appears to have done that for trump, he has a lot of support. but they're not people who traditionally caucus. in new hampshire if i were trump i'd go negative against christie and howard kurtz referred to that he's going to spend on ads, he's got to make sure that neither of them emerge. because if trump loses iowa and trump loses new hampshire, the aura of being the winner which is exactly what he's been running on all these years -- or

all these months, excuse me, is going to be gone. if i were in his shoes, goe two new hampshire. >> 45 seconds left. but this seems like the one of the fee trump is going to sink theories. it hasn't been tested yet. what happens if he loses an early state or two? >> people look at iowa all the time. i'm not sure that's going to make a huge difference for him. it really depends on how the voters feel, on how much you have a split. his major issue is going to be ted cruz. i think conservatives are sort of watching both of them. but with donald trump, i ultimately think it's going to be whether or not people believe that he's a guy that they know what he's going to do when he gets into office. it's going to be a matter of confidence, this is what he stands for, i'm confident that when he gets this job, these are the policies he'll enact. if they don't feel ultimately confident in that, they'll shift to cruz and establishment voters will shift to rubio and we'll see where it lands. >> thanks so much, guys. i really enjoyed it.

i'm not sure jeb bush enjoyed what any of you had to say. >> probably not. after creating a media firestorm by attempting to link nfl star quarterback peyton manning to performance-enhancing drugs,al jazeera appears to be back pedaling. later a muslim aclu official says it's not her job to condemn radical islam. we'll have reaction, all that and more as "hannity" continues. you do all this research then smash it into a tree. your insurance company raises your rates. maybe you should've done more research on them. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. liberty mutual insurance.

♪ welcome back to "hannity." it appears al jazeera is back pedaling from its report accu accusing peyton manning of doping back in 2011. watch this. >> is there any allegation in the article from charlie sly is

that it was sent repeatedly from there to ashley manning in florida. >> sounds like your documentary doesn't have any evidence against peyton manning? >> we're not making the allegation against peyton manning. >> former white house spokes mab ari fleischer has been hired by peyton manning. al jazeera is backtracking and retreating. their story was not credible to begin with and it's not credible now. deborah davies is now contradicting her own reporting. "the forgotten war that changed american history" "fox "fox & friends" co-host brian kilmeade. and lou holtz. is there an allegations here or is it just innuendo? >> we know what's confirmed is packages from this anti-aging institute which peyton manning said he went to -- >> anti-aging institutes seem to be bad news. >> i agree. but the guyier institute in

indianapolis. they did go there. they went separately. they never went together. the medication they did confirm was sent was sent to, whatever it was, to ashley manning. that's the wife of peyton manning. so they said they never accused him of it, but they did say that this medication was sent to her. they didn't tell us exactly what's in it. what was done by charlie sly, whether you love charlie sly, the guy seen in the video, or hate him, he did not want to be a whistleblower. he did not know he was being taped. he can come back and say i'm lying. but he never wanted anyone to be outted to begin with. someone concluded that perhaps he just doesn't want to be in the middle of this thing and he said don't trust what i was sayingp they came back and said we taped him for 12 days in seven meetings for a total of 27 hours. we find it hard to believe he was lying the entire time. >> charlie sly did recant on this allegation. >> the statements on any recordings or communications that al jazeera plans to air are

absolutely false and incorrect. to be clear, i am recanting any such statements and there is no truth to any statement of mine that al jazeera plans to air. under no circumstances should any of those statements, recordings or communications be aired. >> now, coach, i have to say, in any dispute with al jazeera and peyton manning, i know which side i'm instinctively on. what's your take on this story? should it have aired and it is damaging to peyton manning. >> with a name like sly -- >> i know. >> i wonder how much money was paid? nobody gives 27 hours of their time. how much did they pay? i've known the manning family. they've never been a bit of scandal in their entire life. they've lived their life. and al jazeera, their main objective is to tear the country down. what greater way to do it than to try to tear down an icon like peyton manning. let me say this also, peyton manning has never changed his

appearance. i had the same neck surgery for five months, i was in great pain. doctor never recommended hgh to me. and if his wife took it, i don't blame her. we get anti-aging. send it to me. the candles cost more than the cake. and that's when your husband is peyton manning. that's not unusual. but the thing that scares you about the people who make these accusations they can vote and sometimes more than once. >> so coach, just to put a nutshell, you think this is a deliberate smear of an american hero? >> that's my personal opinion because give me the facts, give me the proof. you cannot prove a negative. peyton manning cannot prove when did you stop beating your wife. if you sent a package of anti-aging to a woman? that's not going to do it to me. that's my personal opinion. how can you make an accusation against somebody who has done so much for so many people and for

this country in general without any proof? and how much did they pay him? >> brian, should we care if human growth hormone was sent to his wife? and it was notable that peyton manning in his very fierce denunciation and denial of this report didn't deny that his wife might have gotten these kind of -- >> basically if it's hgh and a packaged prescription. there's only four reasons to get it a legal prescription, growth hormone deficiency in children, treats weakness in muscles from hifb, a chrome seasonal abnormality and children born too small might be legally allowed to get hgh. i'm not sure what happens to the anti-abling community. it's not just about peyton manning. he didn't come out and say just about peyton manning. it's basically a number of packers, clay matthews is on the packers. he names a bunch of baseball players along with it and he goes on and on and on.

the difference about this is it's no jose canseco moment where he says, a-ha mark mcgwire you did this and these other guys that are cheating. this guy doesn't want to be in the middle of it. it happened in vancouver, so he's not subject to american laws or protections. >> i wanted to say this. when you look at the thing from top to bottom, we've had so many athletes, armstrong, sammy sosa, mcgwire deny it and later we find out that they really lied to us. that's the problem here. but once again, show me the proof. >> really quickly, we've got about a minute left. what is the state of the nfl and football these days? bigger, better than ever? >> i think it's bigger and better than ever. i think they're doing a better job of controlling the concussions. that's still a big concern. we have to do something to control the use of the helmet. so me, personally, take the face mask off the helmet and we'll have month nmore concussions. >> broken noses.

>> the dentists will love it. >> who will win the college national championship this year? >> i think it will come down to oklahoma and alabama, but once again i've been wrong so many times, that's why i was in the third grade a little longer than most. >> all right, coach, thanks so much. always a pleasure. brian, thanks for being with us. happy new year's guys. a muslim aclu official says she emphatically refuses to condemn islam. you won't believe her reason why. plus chicago mayor rahm emanuel is under fire after more violence rocked the windy city. even reverend al sharpton is calling for him to step down.

i'm muslim. i have no reason to say sorry and islam o phobes won't believe me anyway. in her op-ed she writes i won't be bullied into condemning terror perpetrated by psychopaths who misrepresent and distort islam for their deranged purposes. joining me bridggitte gabriel. and mike ghouse. mike, let me start with you. i don't really get this point of view at all. i was raised a prez by therien. there were groups out there committing tearer in the name of presbyterianism, i would have no hesitation to condemn them wholeheartedly and without any hesitation. >> she should not only condemn terrorism, she should ask everyone, you, me and every american to condemn terrorism and that is the right thing to do, rich. as a muslim, i should -- i have

responsibility. first, terrorism is wrong. second, it's bei ining labeled islamic, which it is not. third, they're using the name of the religion that i am using and that is wrong. and i have a responsibility to condemn this to no end. technically, she is wright, why should we accuse her of an act she did not commit and she did not support. but there's a thing of freedom of speech. and she has that right and we have the right to say what we want to say but terrorism must be condemned by one and all. i don't know why she has to let it -- it should be condemned unequivocally. i'm muslim and muslims elsewhere condemn this act to no end. >> i'm totally with you on the point of the apology. no one should apologize for something they didn't do themselves or bear responsibility for themselves. this is an ongoing debate

whenever there's a terror attack. i think it's so important to hear muslims condemn islamic terrorism because, unfortunately, islamic extremism does have significant popular and theological support within the islamic world. so it's important for others tot this kind of extremism. >> it is a extremely important for them to do that, to come strongly in condemnation of such bar bare itty in the name of their religion. we westerners need to see that in order to believe that the muslim community really stands with us. and we are seeing across the western world, whether australia or canada or france, it is the muslim minority that is causing problems regarding terrorism in relation to terrorism. and all these countries, this is not the buddhist minority, it's not the jewish minority, the christian minority, it is the islamic minority in every single western country across the

world. so we are seeing a pattern. and it's very important for westerners to see the muslim community within these nations come out strongly and condemn terrorism. we were not asking for them to apologize. there's a difference between apologizing for somebody and condemning their actions. the islamic community must condemn the actions of what's being perpetrated in the name of islam. >> and we do. >> another important point here and the reason why it's so important for us to applaud people for condemning this sort of terrorism is in a lot of the world, not necessarily in the united states or most of the west, but in the middle east, it actually takes courage, physical courage to stand up to these extremists when you're a muslim. you are taking your life and your safety in your hands in some places when you do that. >> that's very true. and i think most muslims like most any other community, christians, americans,

pakistanis, are afraid to speak up because a few handful bullied them into silence and this is time for muslims not to be bullied and speak out and condemn terrorism in unequivocal terms. once more and more muslims join, we'll decimate them. let them know that they do not have any support coming from any corner. and when they get that realization they'll start folding themselves in and that's one way of dealing with terrorism, rich. >> i love the energy. i love the energy and spirit. do you agree with the notion that isis is not islamic? >> isis is islamic in its purist form. it's called the islamic state. it operates following exactly the commandment of muhammad. isis is not doing something that muhammad himself did not do whether it's beheading, cutting off tongues, cutting off ears of

traitors. muhammad himself was a military leader. the perfectman. isis is following the koran to the letter. >> i have to disagree. >> disagree in 20 seconds. >> she is wrong. >> not true. i'm correct. >> you are absolutely wrong on that. >> we'll have to take up this debate later, but both of you, thanks so much for being here. really appreciate it. coming up next here on "hannity" -- >> i think he's gone beyond the point where he can even govern with the trust of the people. >> so you think he should step down? >> the people have to make that decision, but certainly from where i sit, he should. >> the reverend al sharpton is now calling for chicago mayor rahm emanuel to resign.

welcome back to "hannity." chicago mayor rahm emanuel has been coming under heavy criticism for how he has handled police shootings in the windy city. now the reverend al sharpton is calling for him to resign. watch this. >> this is the height of either insensitivity, lack of intelligence or arrogance or reasonable combination of all three. i don't see how he can continue governing now.

i think he's gone beyond the point where he can even govern with the trust of the people. >> so do you think he should step down? >> i think that the people have to make that decision, but certainly from where i sit, he should. >> joining me with reaction to this and the broader issue of urban crime, trial attorney and political commentator eric guster and fellow at the manhattan institute heather mac donald. now, the allegation with rahm, at least one of them, the city withheld this damaging video of this controversial police shooting until after a really tightly fought leaked. -- election. do you think it's time for rahm emanuel to resign? >> it's probably time for him to resign. this is why. you have a leader o a city where there's clearly a misguided police force where they can hold a tape for over a year that no one knew existed. the police officer was not indicted. he was never charged until the tape was forcibly released, then

that's a problem. it starts with the top. that's why we need strong leaders in cities like chicago and every other city to really make a stand. >> i get why people are talking about rahm emanuel. he's a high profile figure in an important city, but what i don't understand is why there's not more of a national conversation and a roiling debate about something you have been writing about very powerfully recently, big double digit increases in the murder rate in major cities in america. baltimore, st. louis, cincinnati. the roll call goes on and on. and it seems for some reason the left wants to deny or make excuses for this jump in homicides. >> absolutely. chicago, shootings are up 17% this year. homicides are up 16%. that's the real scandal about chicago is that the urban death violence rate for young kids is four times higher than that of new york city. and we want to talk about police

instead of talking about crime. if the resignation of emanuel would do anything to save more black lives, i would support it. but i have a . but i think it's easier to talk about politics than it is about healing the black family, getting fathers in the home again, and stop the blood bath. november 2nd a 9-year-old boy was lured into the alley of a chicago southside area and killed in cold blood in retaliation for his father's gang banging. that is the sort ofñi thing the press should be focusing on. >> nobody hears about it. >> why don't we hear more about baltimore now? baltimore had an unprecedented, historic spike in the murder right. young black men are dying at an

atrocious rate as well as those black lives don't matter? left doesn't seem to care about them. >> the left does care about them. >> why don't we hear about it. why isn't there a movement? >> there are plenty of movements. i've talked about it, my fraternity is doing great programs. when you have urban blacks who don't have jobs then, those bad things are going to grow, and fester. we have to get back to putting jobs back into the inner cities, back into our economy, and to grow the economy and bring educational systemxd back up to par for those people to make it fair across the board where you don't have to be rich to get a great education. >> the economy hasn't gotten a worse way, it appears to be police have pulled back because there is this movement that is

criticizing them as racists. >> i would say with all respect to eric, has it backwards. you didn't get jobs until crime is brought down. new york saw. that we brought crime down. and the economy is worse in the inner cities. the economy did not get better because of a government program. we've been spending trillions of dollars on antipoverty programs. it wasn't until police saying, got data driven as police commanders for crimes in their jurisdictions but the effort to demonize the police is leading to police backing off and people are dying as a result. >> another thing that is striking is that you have corrupt city officials, chicago, baltimore have been run, almost uniformly by democrats for decades. doesn't the democratic party

bear overwhelming responsibility for the state of these cities? >> first, let me reply to something she just mentioned. it's not about demonizing police but showing what bad police do. that is what the movement is about. improving what the bad police are doing and bringing light to that to get bad apples out. whençó you have someone like michael scott, who was shot in the back and other cases where people have been executed by police, that is a problem. that is why people don't trust police. in chicago, this was not brought to light for over a year. the city administration knew about this. this guy was shot a dozen times. >> the point about democrats running that you're upset about? >> it's not just about democratic party and republican party, it's about quality leadership. we have to get quality leaders in these positions.

>> these are democratic cities. >> it's whitewashing the black rifs matter movement to say the police are not being demonized across the board. every time they go to make an arrest they're cursed at, jiered -- and jeered out. ÷yñ coming up, more "hannity" right after the break. stay with us.
