>> the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. have a great christmas with the wench you love. good night from washington. for those of you busy with family tomorrow and wednesday, we wish you again merry christmas. dan bongino is sitting in for sean hannity. >> thank you very much, tucker. a special edition of "hannity," i am dan bongino in for sean. for the hour we will highlight the failures for the democratic party. and we will start with the impeachment fiasco on capitol hill. as we speak, nancy pelosi is demanding a political ransom in exchange for turning over the articles of impeachment for the u.s. senate. and the majority leader calling it absurd. check it out. >> are you surprised to have been handed two impeachment articles from the speaker? >> yeah, believe it or not, the papers have to be physically brought over to the senate.

we cannot go forward until the speaker does that. she is apparently trying to tell us how to run the trial. you know, i'm not actually wanting to have a trail so if she wants told the papers, go right ahead. it seems to me observe position that after you impeach the president you will not send the papers over mandated by the constitution. >> dan: pelosi is facing widespread criticism over the stand. senator johnson is calling it absurd. ted cruz said the delay is "a sign of weakness." in senator graham accused of constitutional extortion of the beacon. lindsey graham demanded pelosi stop playing nonsensical games. take a look. >> instead of allowing the president to go to court to exercise executive privilege, they put an artificial time limit instead. if you do not allow the witnesses to come to the house

in certain, we will impeach for exercising the legal rights. impeachment is a dead cat. stop playing with it. bearing it is going nowhere. quit dilating the constitution and give the president's day in court and so we can talk about things that people really care about. >> dan: a dead cat. [laughter] the strongest rebuke from president dimmick pelosi came from president trump himself. a few hours ago tweeted nancy pelosi lost the house and speakership once is about to lose it again. she's doing everything she can to delay the republican vote of articles of impeachment. she's trying to take over the senate and trying to take over the trial. no way. what right does crazy nancy have to hold up the senate trial? none! she has a bad case of rather or not a negative decision. this witch hunt must end now with a trail and this in or let her defaulting lose. no more time should be wasted on this impeachment scheme.

the present is right. a former house speaker newt gingrich pointed out, this could be one giant stall tactic from the hapless democrats. check this out. >> i think that they don't think they have enough evidence to have any chance at all in the senate, and they are buying time to see if they can create more evidence. that would be my guess. but the whole thing is pretty stupid. first of all, they are admitting that the case they have is so weak that they don't want to send it to the senate. the more they behave politically, the more they devalue the entire impeachment process. in people have got to know, this is politics. which then further involves the president to keep gaining strength. which he has been doing for six weeks. >> dan: the speaker is onto something. the house democrats council just said they are open to impeaching president trump again. we are not kidding. make no mistake, the democrats in charge of the house, this charade is never, ever going to

stop. joining us now with moore's minority whip caucus chairman andy biggs. gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us. congressman scully's come with the press conference how they want more evidence. aren't they kind of de facto to impeach the president without evidence? am i reading this right? they already took a boat, know they have enough evidence to impeach. this seems backwards. >> we set this all along, there was no crime. it was an impeachment in search of a crime and they never found one. all of their witnesses, star witnesses said there was no crime, no bribery and now you've got pelosi carrying out her own quid pro quo. she is trying to say come i won't give you the papers unless you do this. and is that what they were accusing president trump of? joe biden did quid pro quo he bragged about. i will take the taxpayers money if you don't fire the

prosecutor. but they impeached him for it. this is bizarre. and look, there is no faith. it's dimmick it is time for her to give this up and finally work for the american people. we can do more on drug prices. we can have a secure border and so many other things, but they are the party of impeachment. this is all they have. >> dan: congressmen before i go to congressman biggs, if it is fascinating they alleged quid pro quo with the president and the first witness said never happen gordon sondland and yet the chief executive of the country concerned about corruption in foreign aid. he said that many times and yet, now we have nancy pelosi with unconstitutional usurpation of the senate powers and where is the meeting on this? celebrating how wonderful nancy pelosi is. am i reading this wrong? >> you are spot on. look, the media when they were kept out of the room by adam schiff, where was the media they are saying we will not let you impeach in secret behind

closed doors. this is nancy pelosi, literally saying she has no case. she's already lost one democrat over this fiasco last week. jeff andrews had enough already. i will not be a part of this anymore. who knows how many more she will get to switch or beat next year because the country is fed up with this theatrics, this drama by speaker pelosi, now trying to take over the senate. she has no case in the house. shouldn't moved impeachment in the first place but they did it anyway pair the country says look, focus on lower drug prices and care about the working families. fortunately, president trump cares about those families and delivering a great economy with a lot of people and a lot more money in their paychecks this christmas. >> dan: congressman biggs, i have to believe the democrats as much as i disagree with their rancid political ideology, they are not stupid, they are not. they are usually tactically efficient. they have to know this has been a spectacular face plant, public

polling is down, independents moving in the opposite direction, swing state polls devastating, minority support for president trump going up. i stole some number raising millions of dollars on the day of impeachment for president trump! are you sensing on the hill that some of these 31 democrats and trump district's are starting to say, we have a problem here and we may want to slow this down. is this where this is coming from? >> some are concerned by others are stuck in the middle with nancy pelosi. so i think you've got some that are more rational that are saying, hey, this is a real problem for us, but, you know, dan what you are seeing is a reflection of authoritarian nature of the left democratic party. so nancy pelosi is going to go out there and basically compel the members go for an impeachment that does not have popular support and does not come as you pointed out, have evidence. if they get through this and if it gets over to the senate it needs to be acquitted which we all knows he will be. they will do it again.

that is the authoritarian nature you see in the democratic party that actually beats down on the 31 democrats within those swing districts. they are all in trouble. they are all in trouble. >> dan: congressman scalise is that aoc left leaning -- winning to the party? do they have this much power? i was talking about before congressman bigs and my question here is she has to know this has to lead to an electoral disaster. the republican taking of the house, the senate committee landslide victory for donald trump, this is going to stay in her legacy forever. i thought nancy pelosi would be smarter than this. you are in a leadership position but again, what am i missing? she is usually tactically smarter than this. >> well, you know, she used to be in control of that caucus. now with this new socialist democratic party, aoc as you were indicating, aoc is driving the train now. it's her party.

if you go back to the impeachment inquiry, she was not going to do an impeachment and when we can aoc tweeted that the real crime is the democrat majority not impeaching president trump. literally, two days later, nancy pelosi said she would impeach the president. aoc is driving this party. why so many moderates have no place left. there are no blue dogs left in the democratic party virtually here and she's run them off because they are tired of the socialist style. that's all she's got and they are controlling things right now. >> i forgot about that. >> dan: congressman bigs, nothing they told us about this impeachment was strewn no quid pro quo, first-hand witnesses told us the exact opposite. gordon sondland said they been crystal clear no quit pro quote and they don't do evidence from the left but everything they told us about extreme nature to be rushed, he has such a danger to national security is nonsense. so they ran a rationale they want to slow down. i can come a little bit of

disconnect with the message. >> absolutely right. and it shows the disarray. i think nancy pelosi is normally strategic but she's getting pressure from the left. they are in disarray right now. and it actually is undermining the very nature of what they think they are going to do in the future in the 2020 election. so it really has consequences are electorally, it has consequences constitutionally and of course the institution itself. she has misread this thing terribly. i don't know who is advising her right now, but she ought to fire them and get somebody else. >> dan: could point. congressman scalise, congressman biggs, you are fighting a good fight. >> merry christmas, dan. >> dan: and americans turned out the circuit on capitol hill. the mainstream media has been totally consumed. in fact, at least one particularly deranged journalist believes the future of the planet earth is now at stake.

watch this. >> here is what i hope we understand, that the stakes here are immense. it's not just about the political future of one man, donald trump. it is about the future of democracy. in democratic process and this is a trend throughout the world. it is about the future of the earth. >> dan: that is real. most americans do not agree. president trump is surging in the polls. plus he made an absolute mess of impeachment stunt. many in the main stream media are starting to panic. take a look. >> i cannot figure out what the strategy nancy pelosi has. the house has the power and sole power to bring an impeachment. the senate has the sole power to apply an impeachment. i don't get leverage. >> she has been master polling dealing with these issues. but now she's got a double, what we would call a double-edged sword. the democrats' hustle up, hustle

up we have to hurry and get this done and now that they've got the impeachment done, slow down, slow down, we are not sure we will send the articles. i think you can maintain that for a short period of time. i do not think that is a sustainable position over a long period of time. >> i think it is very risky. you know, as mitch mcconnell said, why withholding something i don't want to do, why is that leverage? so there's always going to be a reality points the house voted to impeach, they will control the process. and essentially they have lost control of the process. >> dan: my next guest alan dershowitz argues pelosi is with a ploy for an advantage. this and it can acquit president trump with or without pelosi's cooperation. joining us now with more author of "guilt by accusation" alan dershowitz and media reporter from the hill joe concha, thank you for joining us. professor dershowitz i will go to you first. as you said with the

senator mcconnell, he's kind of in a bit of a bind here because if he moves forward, pelosi will accuse him of taking an initiative without in fact, an impeachment but if he waits, this is hanging over the president's head forever. my question is as constitutional law professors, how long can this don't go on? is there a legal binding precedent here? there is no legal binding precedent but impeach me as a process that starts with a house and must go to the senate. it would be utterly unconstitutional for speaker pelosi to accept my colleague larry tribe's idea, impeach, but don't ever bring it to the senate. so the impeachment hangs over the president's head forever with no opportunity to vindicate himself. i want to comment about one thing. you showed david to bring that before saying the world is come to an end. i have to comment about that because david redneck is the problem today. he is the poster child what is wrong with the media.

he makes up facts. he wrote a story and i tell about it in my book, "guilt by accusation," he makes up a story about something that happened to my family. he got it from a neo-nazi holocaust website. never sent it to a fact-checker to check, and published it as fact. totally made up story. that is david. the new yorker has the lowest ratio of credibility to apparent credibility of any media and the country. nobody should take anything that the new yorker says and under david's leadership seriously. he just makes up facts and uses neo-nazi sources to source his facts. >> dan: i like to say i'm surprised, but i'm not. nothing surprises me with media. joe, you studied media for a living. i mean, watching these clips, you have to understand this hyperbole is getting old. the end of the world, this man a

key moment and gabriel coming tomorrow. when is this going to stop? the news commit is the beginning of the end. the panic of the media over lack of impeachment commit basically is wrapped up in these five numbers that i will share quickly. trumps approval is 49% and a harris expo, the highest it's ever been. every poll is trending in a positive direction for the president. nancy pelosi's approval not mentioned at all very much. 39% despite almost being universally praised in the media on an hourly basis, right? 56%, the dow jones is up from 72% is how much the nasdaq is u. so for regular folks working folks 401(k)s are doing quite well. those are things they can feel. but finally the biggest number 77%, that is the number of democrats who support impeachment.

this is a cnn poll. that same poll last month was at 90%. 13% among democrats are feeling on nancy pelosi. that is why i think,, we look back on the speaker's legacy 15 years in politics this will go down as the worst decision she has ever made because it could infect up with reelection not only of president trump but of her losing her power in congress as well. >> dan: i agree. it's not a secret that i'm a conservative, but i think trying to look at this objectively, this was clearly a disastrous political decision. there is a legal question out there that has become social media back and forth, twitter, facebook, but in your legal expertise, some people suggesting president trump wasn't actually impeached at all, including some people on the left. if those articles are, in fact, forwarded. your opinion on theft. >> there is nothing in the constitution about articles impeachment. there is nothing about forwarding. as far as the american public is concerned, the president is

impeached. that is why it was utterly unfair to suggest we don't have to allow the senate now to acquit him. so there are two coalternatives. if he hasn't been impeached, nancy pelosi has to go to the media and say please, the media, please, he has not impeached. he is presumed innocent. he is absolutely innocent. his status has not changed. if he has been impeached, the senate has to start their trail as soon as they choose to. remember, the senate is the sole judge of guilty or innocence of impeachment. so the democrats can't have it both ways. they can't sound the one hand, to the public we are saying he is impeached, but to this and that he has not impeached. you know what i say? this is obstruction of the senate, the exact same charge that made against the president. this is abuse of power from exactly same charge they made against the president. it is wrong constitutionally, and it is wrong morally, and it is wrong politically. >> dan: joe come i remember

the clinton impeachment where the media painted him as a martyr of this republican witch hunt every day. obviously, hitting nancy pelosi and chuck schumer has angelic figures out there doing the good for the country despite a fake charge. as you said before the trans matter. it is clear, you and i know pelosi is typically smarter than this. i will ask you what i asked the congressman. do you think it is left-wing aoc causing her to lose political staple? she is usually smarter and more grounded. you may not agree with her ideology but made some sound tactical moves. it seems like she's completely lost it and fallen in with the left leaning wing of the party. >> if u.s. me to describe nancy pelosi in one word i would say shrewd. she's been around for 50 years in politics. she usually is pretty measured in her decisions, but now, ironically, the longer this impeachment process goes wrong

in the longer she holds this, the better it is for the president. because he keeps getting things done, tangible things. the last few weeks were the best of his presidency. usmca, defense authorization, you go down the line where people say, these are things making my life better. then they look at the democratic side. they look at the scoreboard there. what have they got done since they took back the house in 2018? not much. >> dan: one quick point before you run, they almost got the democrats and the trump administration because the democrats have to work with the trump administration on usmca which they previously sidelined because they are looking for not doing anything. it was really -- >> we are walking and chewing gum, right? >> dan: cliche. >> the real victim here, the real victim or the american people in the constitution. the constitution has been damaged by this employee being used by nancy pelosi. who are long admired, but this is a very bad time for the

united states constitution. >> i agree. >> dan: i want to see david and alan dershowitz sometime. >> dan: please, put them on the show together and i will expose as the fraud he is and the careless fact-checker that he is. allen, joe, thank you very much. coming up on this special "hannity," carter page and the fisa scandal. jason chaffetz will react. another 2020 democratic presidential candidate on full display. joe floyd and sara carter to break it down. ♪ nothing works faster for powerful cold relief. oh, what a relief it is! so fast!

committee, and four hours of testimony, denied things that we knew were true and later had to admit them during his testimony. it's also hard to be sympathetic when you have someone who admitted to being an advisor to the kremlin. >> but also he was informing the cia. >> yes, yes. >> which we didn't know about. >> dan: incredible, really. carter page was smeared four years, accused of being a traitor, all based on lies, innuendo and a phony dossier. and adam schiff doesn't have to the guts to show a little remorse and admit he's wrong? the same layer, the now defunct fisa memo in the green light to rent the witch hunt. he is corrupt to the core. it is undeniable. the good news is the boomerang of justice is in full swing. not only is john durham honing in on the actions of ex-cia john brennan but according to a new report in "the new york times," durham got into a "sharp dispute over draft

note in the horowitz report and follow the ig's conclusion, including political bias. now the footnote does not include the final report so durham is uncovering convincing evidence to the clapper to brennan. america's most popular democrats abuse power to try to undo the result of the presidential election. and the time for accountability is now. joining me now with reaction, author of the book power grab, fox news contributor jason chaffetz with author of the great book "witch hunt" gregg jarrett and fox news contributor investigative reporter solomon who i have come to rely on extensively. i will go to you first. this thing that carter page, greg, an abomination and not hyperbole. you have a naval academy a graduate not charged with any crime who is actually doing work now we know for intelligence

agency, cia to nail russians working in this country to hurt this country. the fbi then targets the sky and manipulates the email and suggest contacts with head russians were on behalf of nefarious treasonous acts. i mean, this is one of the most disgusting malfeasance i've ever seen. >> james knew it because the first 30 started to adhere late 2016 identifying carter page, page sends a letter to comey saying it's not true. i've been helping the cia. and i would be happy to sit down with you but comey ignored the letter and soft a fisa warrant. but adam schiff was the first publicly accused carter page of being a russian spy before the fisa the warrant situation. and you just played a clip of schiff accusing carter page of lying in front of the intelligence committee, completely untrue. the testimony was november 2nd,

2015. i've read it a dozen times and whole portions are repeated in my book. carter page told the truth. if it were otherwise, he would have been accused and prosecuted for perjury. no, adam schiff continues to lie. and i invite people to actually read the transcript that is online. carter page, not only tells the truth, but adam schiff makes an absolute fool of himself by trying on cross-examination to get carter page to admit that merely shaking the hand of a criminal official and saying hello is somehow a hub gobble of a grand conspiracy to commit a treasonous act and sealed the 2,000 election, 2016 election. adam schiff and his contorted and twisted mind may still believe it and it is ludicrous. >> it is a stain on our country. i will go to you. your reporting has been

spectacular. i have relied on it and it is good to see the media who has tried to tarnish your representation and are starting to come around and realize you were right the whole time. they are stubborn. i know you have your information on calmly but it is obvious that comey lied. i shared a footnote this week, 3/23, call comey said dentist 3/23 meeting, and verified, 3/23 not only investigating but sending fbi overseas to investigate. this guy come i mean, it really his reputation has got to be finished. >> it is and the lies he told congress are really serious issues. for instance he said at one point, i did not know carter page had been opened up the spring 2016. one of the revelations in the ig report. in fact, he was in a meeting with james comey and they talked about it. same thing with bruce ohr, he did not know bruce ohr in the back way, getting the

information. and footnotes there saying he was in a meeting with bruce ohr bruce ohr. james comey has an edition l and i think durham advances this criminal investigation, there is a high way that they will look at him falsely. >> that whole laundering scheme, and again, just another lie, a bevy of comey lies. congressman jason chaffetz, one thing that has bothered me, the malfeasance and for a living. but they suggest that the ig report says there is no political bias. that is not what the report said. matter of fact, horowitz own words in front of the senate meeting come all the way didn't find a document, yes, we opened up on trump and we hate him and it's politically biased. he said one of two things, gross negligence or political bias. it shows you how the media will take anything and spend it for the democrats narrative. >> and also what the inspector general said, he did not look at

it and could not demonstrate definitively one way or the other if any bias was injected into itself and the actual phis application. what he said to come he could not find the precept that he had documented any sort of bias and he was the senior most person tt started this operation, but that's like not even a page of a 450 page ig report. if anybody thinks they were exonerated were cleared, are you kidding me? comey takes it in the shorts for the fifth time in over 1,000 pages now documented from the inspector general. so good luck with that, mr. comey. >> dan: i want to get a quick answer, how much trouble do you think, go to you first, gregg, john brennan is in. the reason i ask the sworn testimony of lisa page, she tells mark meadows under oath that she would be genuinely stunned if the cia was getting

information from christopher steele. and i'm not giving the fbi a pass if comey lied throughout this whole thing but if there was a puppetmaster and this from the intel side it may have been john brennan. >> why? i call brennan the instigator in my book. he created before a steele dossier and enter agency task force that was the original foundation, you know this, john, was the foundation for the trump russia and a hoax. so i think brennan has a lot to answer for. and i think durham may be looking at false statements false statements insofar as brennan is concerned. >> gregg has it exactly right. that is one place to be cracked open by durham. and also the issue of bias, the biggest bias injected into the investigation was the steele dossier. he admitted he was desperate to meet trump and the fbi used that to go to the pfize fisa court. all over this, fisa. >> dan: congressman how much do trouble do you think

john brennan is in him this? >> he's in a lot of trouble, you agree with the other two but i would also say, dan follow the money. there are millions of dollars that flow from the democrats overseas and durham is able to go look at that. something that horowitz couldn't look at. that is going to tell a lot about the travesty that was done here. >> dan: jason, gregg, john, thanks a lot. as the democratic field narrows, 2020s beginning to heat up. at the last debate with elizabeth warren blessed of me repeat for big dollar private fund-raisers. take a look. >> the mayor recently had a fund-raiser held in a wind cave full of crystals and serve $900 a bottle wine. think about who comes to that. he had promised that every fund-raiser he would do would be open door, but this one was closed the door. we made the decision many years

ago that rich people and smoke-filled rooms would not pick the next president of the united states. billionaires and wine caves should not pick the next president of the united states. >> dan: hilarious. the exchange, elizabeth warren herself held a $2700 a head fund-raiser -- can't make this up -- at a boston -- and president obama behind the scene to quietly pour wealthy people to back her. deval patrick trying to urge the president to remain neutral and former vice president playing to smaller and smaller crowds at each campaign stop. joining me now with reaction conservative columnist jeffrey ward and fox news contributor sara carter. sarah come i will go to you, i know it is hysterical and john is laughing in the background. we have a peanut gallery.

and watching this is just embarrassing. i kind of framed it this way. there are three lanes an and a d by authority. biting, he's not even safe enough for obama to them both doors him and elizabeth warren n you have the outsider and an insider pete buttigieg. this is going to collapse. >> it is absolutely insane. first of all, it is hypocrisy and self-hate. that is where i'm going with this. it is like elizabeth warren just can't like herself enough. with all that when she actually touted as being native american. she paid the price for that. she has apologized for that. and now she is angry at billionaires and millionaires when we know the dnc, this is how you raise money. pete buttigieg is right. he said, look, you are a hypocrite because we have to raise money. if you think we need to defeat president trump, why are you turning your backs on people who actually want us to do that,

right? but she turns her back on herself. she is actually a millionaire, you are right, worth around $9 million. >> dan: which is great. but not when you are a socialist trying to tell people, millionaires are awful people! >> exactly. and that is exactly what she is, a socialist. it is like you grow up with money. she didn't. checks made her money on her own, but she's angry that she has it. so she has this kind of syndrome. aco if she doesn't like it, it will take checks, make it out. i will send you my home address. send it over. >> dan: you know, my analysis there, i think i'm spot on. any election, those three lanes, they are all led by total frauds. you have bernie, i'm a millionaire. he's a millionaire too. nothing about this field is genuine, and elizabeth warren can't seem to get out of her own way lately. >> don't forget bernie's three

houses. >> dan: yes. >> look, exceed 1% of the trump donors are small donors, $200 or less. the democratic party and this has been the real change that is not talked about a lot. it used to be that wall street billionaires gave to the republican party. but for a variety of reasons over the decades, they are now all democrats. hollywood and wall street, the big tech, et cetera, et cetera. it is the little guy, the working american giving to donald trump. and i have to laugh because joe biden has 100 people show up for a rally. i was at the hershey rally the other week with president trump, 12,000 people totally filled the arena with thousands outside in the rain. what does that tell you? >> dan: jeff, there were more people in the line of the bathroom at biden's rally. i'm only half kidding because it is probably true. but sarah, this thing with biden

is becoming like really come a most painful to watch. the former secret service guy, you get to know some of these people personally and i was on the president's mama but it is painful to watch, this guy is to be the safe pick, the mitt romney. and he can't even get an endorsement for a guy he served for eight years as vice president? this has got to be humiliating for this guy. >> look, president obama knows him well. he spent enough time with him. it is embarrassing. it is gut wrenching to watch vice president joe biden and clips of him talking about foreign, the hairy leg situati situation. and so you know president obama, he has a realist. he is saying, this isn't going to happen. this is the guy for the party. but the problem is you have people like elizabeth warren for limousine liberals in hollywood and what jeffrey ward was talking about, basically tellin, this is how you need to operate.

we believe in socialism for you, just not for us and jeffrey is right. more people are supporting president trump, coming out in droves, spending two nights just to see him speak. these are regular folks because the regular americans, he connects with people and they were not connecting. they don't have a platform. >> dan: chaff might have 30 seconds left. president trump is going to eat these candidates alive on the debate stage right now. this field stays as it is. >> i'm investing in popcorn stock for one. but remember this about president obama, he has really insulted that donald trump is president of the united states. his legacy is vanishing and that he was rejected. so trust me whether elizabeth warren or alvin and the chipmunk he will be out there regardless. >> dan: we will see what happens to my thanks, sara, thanks jeffrey.

effectively a small percentage victimizing everyone else in the city. people of color, whether middle-class or lower income scale, and it is those american citizens who want protection, who want leadership. this, for me, certainly we know it is gun-control policy. we see those of course victimize sedatives and like chicago and n baltimore. sanctuary city policies whether complete or partial, but it is signaling leadership that anything goes. that it is like in california, decriminalizing certain crimes, right? in new york, the quality of life elements were decriminalized where you can on the sidewalk. you will not be arrested if drunk walking down the street. it sends the message to the rest of the community that nobody cares. that leadership doesn't care. if leadership doesn't care about the city, why should the average criminal? and that is what ends up victimizing everyone who relies

on leadership, regardless of where you are, people want security. that is white trump as president is an example and it is why i would contend with them i think larry might agree, that it is liberal leadership and policies that condemned the cities. because it is an abandonment. they don't want to govern. their policies condemn even further. >> dan: larry i know this is close to your heart. i was a city kid myself. these are real people with real lives who are living in places where, again, you know, john edwards ran for president as a democrat said there were two americans in that speech. he was right but for the wrong reason. there were two america has been created by liberal policies that are ripping the hearts out of these hardworking people, forced to live in an area with these policies, garbage law enforcement policies lack of schools, and again, i noticed matters to you as well. you have spoken about it often.

>> right. the elephant in the room is the large number of kids particularly black kids raised without fathers. according to the cdc, dan from 70% of black kids raised without fathers. tim is right. this takes place in the hands of neighborhoods in chicago and baltimore and black neighborhoods where a lot of the kids are without fathers. forget about larry elder. obama said a kid raised without a father five times more likely to be poor, nine times more likely to drop out of school, 20 times more likely to end up in jail. the welfare state, incentivized women to marry the government. we allow men to abandon their moral responsibility. we need to reverse the welfare state, returned the stigma against having a kid outside of wedlock. we are not doing that, we are blaming cons at all sorts of things other than the problem incentivizing women to abandon their financial and moral responsibility. >> dan: i noticed, tammy when i get into a debate with a liberal about this, it turns into some bigotry on their part.

on their part where it ends up saying they lied. those people. there are those people. these are human beings. this is absurd. think about it. the media in baltimore city five or 10% above the national average in 1950. liberals took over, 20% plus below. it is not the people. it is the darn policies and the liberals running at. >> you see, these are great american cities. the greatest. baltimore, maryland, chicago, illinois, new york city, los angeles, san francisco, it is remarkable. milwaukee, kansas city, albuquerque, memphis. we are looking at great american cities that became great because of the people in them. and one of the problems is, people who are subjected to this leadership become isolated and began to feel there is no way out. and then republicans have got to step up. i would say republicans in the

past have abandon certain cities as belonging to the democrats. president trump is trying to reverse that come up with the fact is, these are american citizens who are from and their families are from, have built up the cities. they are the history of these cities. we have abandoned them here or there is a way to change it. america was headed into that direction under obama. we change that and we can help change the cities as well with different leadership. >> dan: larry, i have a minute left. one thing that bothers me is these kids need a shot. it's not just the terrible government and social welfare state but school choice. if this was happening in a white middle class neighborhood with terrible schools in inner cities, they would burn the state house down but it's acceptable because largely minority neighborhood. i have 30 seconds left. >> they sure do hate choice, don't they except when it comes to their own children. you look at chicago, the left-wing heavyweights, there should be a shining city on a hill. you have barack obama, jesse jackson, bill ayers.

you have all of these left-wing intellectual firepower's. why isn't chicago a shining city on a hill for crying out loud? rob emanuel, obama, why don't you guys have a meeting and solve this you are so smart. >> dan: thanks, larry, thanks to me, really appreciate it. coming up on the special, president, a summoner -- a message to young conservatives. stay with us. ♪ [sneeze and sniffles]
