>> sean: i will call don lemon after the show for an update. we are glad you stayed with us. see you monday. ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity," this news-breaking friday night. we begin with great news from the trump administration's public-private partnership, what is known as operation warp speed, crafted and created to assist with the rapid production and distribution of a safe vaccine. during remarks at the white house, the president announced that 20 million vaccine doses will be available december to high-risk populations. let's take a look. >> as a result of operation warp speed, pfizer announced on monday that its china virus

vaccine is more than 90% effective. this far exceeds any and all expectations. nobody thought they would get to that level. and we have others coming, which we think will be at equal level may be more, that's possible. we will work to secure an emergency use authorization which should be coming down extremely soon, and my administration will then coordinate the distribution of the vaccine, and it will be approved, i think again, it will be approved very, very quickly we hope. the average development timeline for a vaccine, including clinical tests and manufacturing, can take 8-12 years. through operation warp speed, we are doing it in less than one year. >> sean: amazing news, even dr. fauci this week saying wow this long nightmare is coming to an end. incredible feat, from the best the brightest scientists researchers, doctors, all those that worked in the medical profession, we have the best in the world. of course, we'll continue to track this very important story but we begin tonight with more breaking news surrounding the election.

the hand recount in a state of georgia is now underway. and the calls for an election audit in multiple states are growing. very slim margins, the trump campaign's legal challengesma continue to play out in court and coming up, we are going to bring you the very latest from all of the details kayleigh mcenany is here, and we'll also outline actionsns republicans need to take right now, every state legislature, to restore fairness, integrity, and confidence in our elections. the first, let's take a look at an important reminder from nancy pelosi. see if this sounds like anybodyr we know, about counting every legal vote. this is her in 2005. >> asked for after the electiont the american people must have every confidence that every vote legally cast will be legally counted and accurately counted. >> sean: every legal vote counted, and accurately. what happened to speaker pelosi?

she now sounds like donald trump. where are her cries for election integrity now? instead of counting every legal vote, which she said she wanted to do then, pelosi wants to take the election chaos now a step further with a so-called election reform bill, that would make it even harder to verify votes, even more mail-in ballots, less voter identification, and as we have documented for nearly two weeks on this program, there has been widespread reports of irregularities, arbitrarily discarded election laws, dead people -- oh, that's my favorite -- casting ballots. millions of mail-in votes susceptible, as "the new york times" reminded us, to fraud and abuse.s and now, with a razor-thin

margins in half a dozen critical states, president trump is now doing what any responsible election official would do demanding every single legal vote be counted, and it be verified. president trump is not the onlyn person calling for a closer look at the votes. as we reported earlier this week in pennsylvania, lawmakers now on both sides of the aisle are calling for election audit. just hours ago, arizona republicans sued the state to force a vote audit in that close election. and in michigan, two statein senators also requesting anse audit there. in a letter to michigan secretary of state, they accuse election officials of counting ineligible ballots and counting the same batches of ballots multiple times. they also accuse michigan officials of under falsele information and giving it in the process a ballots and processing them and duplicating ballots illegally, and fraudulently backdating mail-in ballots and accepting ballots deposited in drop boxes after the deadline. and of course, blocking election observers from viewing the vote and the whole vote counting w

process -- which, by the way, is in the statutory language of the law. something we saw in a lot of states. meanwhile, down in georgia, we have an ongoing hand recount. there is only one election monitor, apparently, for every ten table vote counting. now does not inspire confidence in you? it doesn't to me. north carolina, surveillance footage, you'll love this showing the husband of a local democratic candidate repeatedly escorting voters inside the polling location, to cast their ballots. one video actually shows him marking a voters ballad. oh, but we were told there is never any fraud. one of our producers spoke to him today, he claims he did nothing wrong, was just helping disabled voters cast their ballots. uh, does that inspire confidence in our election process to you? now, some huge states like florida, texas, ohio, they all did a great job on election night. they should be commended.

many other critical states clearly dropped the ball, not all americans are having a real hard time trusting, believing having faith and confidence in the results, and rightfully so. now, this week, daniel horowitz published an op-ed in "the blaze" detailing five laws republicans better pass if they want to stop any voter fraud. my top five would be, you know lawmakers need to end thehe practice of never-ending early voting. in every election, critical late-breaking developments could swing a race. we saw it in 2000. the weekend before election day remember, dui developments. in this election, by the way some voters were in states casting ballots before the final debate. this has got to stop. the game is not fully played yet. there needs to be an election day, not an election month election two months, and then you know, two weeks of counting. and mail-in voting, by the way number two, that is wrought with problems.

and by the way, must only be used in extreme circumstances when a voter is unable to vote in person. and email in votes have got to be verified with a matching signature. common sense. there's got to be one standard for signature across all ballots. and third, voters should absolutely be required to use a photo i.d. in order to vote. by the way, i go to the dnc convention every four years every time i go, guess what? i need a photo i.d. i'm not sure why democrats think it is unfair to require that same standard at a polling location. and number four, all these drop-off boxes, ballots, i would say we need to keep an eye on it. 24/7. may be have people from both sides watching it. number five, as the law already prescribes, partisan election observers, they must be allowed

real access to view the voting process from beginning to end without any exceptions whatsoever. they've got to actually be able to see it, up front, not a a hundred feet away, not 20 feet away, not 6 feet away. those people on both sides of the aisle should be able to have a full viewing access to the process.att and needless to say, all states should be implementing the best possible voting technology. one that is safe, one that is secure, one that is easy to use. easy to set up. states control their own elections, but certain high standards need to be much. we owe it to the american people. and let's face it, this past election was a train wreck, some of the most critical, swinging voting states. by the way, jim jordan warned us this would all happen on september 23rd. with the very latest on allll these states is

kayleigh mcenany, back with us. all right, you gave us a full report on one county in michigan, 234 affidavits. then talk about pennsylvania. now we've got the hand count in georgia. then we have the issue of two different standards of acceptable signature verification in georgia. and i guess one of the leaders of the georgia republican party saying there's only one person able to watch the hand recount for, what, every ten people counting, is that true? >> yeah, we want meaningful access for our poll watchers. our attorneys so far are confident in the accounts and how it is working in georgia but absolutely, we want to make sure our republican poll watchers are there. i do have some other information for you on pennsylvania, seanur that i passed along to your producers. last night, i showed you some text messages from voters whoht are in democrat counties, who were contacted and said go correct your ballot, there was a defect in your valid. this was not something available to the other 60 counties in pennsylvania, mostly republican counties.n tonight, we have an email, first of all, from the secretary of state, saying this at 8:38 p.m. on election eve, to all 67 counties, now you can go fix

ballots, so while they were fixing ballots in democrat counties, you have an avowed anti-trump secretary of state sending the equivalent of a susan rice smoking on email to cover their bases.p. now you can do what we have been doing all along, this kind of equal protection violation makes this a corruption election in pennsylvania. >> sean: i laid out all the things i need to change. i assume you've been to a dnc convention, right? you need a photo i.d. to get in. by the way, that i have to go through the metal detector, and my last name is "hannity" so i get one did three, not once. if you needed for that, why wouldn't you need it to vote? and then, by the way, if you have, oh, a sanctuary state somebody can get a license, does that license a that is acceptable as photo i.d. to

vote, does that mean you are legal? a not in a sanctuary city or state, right? >> you are exactly right, sean and there is one party that has been in court fighting voter identification, fighting tryingre verification, to extend deadlines. that is the democrat party because they were trying to orchestrate the outcome of an election, and we've been talking about voter i.d.s for a very long time, but what happened in this election, sean, his bases unable global pandemic and created an election epidemic and we saw it happening, i remember the campaign attorneys coming to the president and saying we are fighting this in court, this in court, trying to extend the deadline here, it was like whac-a-mole, whac-a-mole. they were designing the selection with the mail ballots in nevada to make sure the system was designed to select joe biden, all because of covid-19. >> sean: are we going to get to the bottom of this? in your opinion, do you feel confident in these hand recounts that are going on? are we making sure that the partisan observers get a real look at all the ballots, for example, in georgia? >> yeah, our attorneys are

confident about what is happening in georgia. they are confident in the election officials there, hand recounts, this litigation is so important, both for this and for elections to come. and i'm confident, if it gets to federal court, where it should be, we will have some honest jurists that will take a look at this and say, no, if you are aom republican, you deserve an equal amount of franchisement as a democrat, be it in pennsylvania or beyond. >> sean: thank you for keeping our audience up-to-date allou week, we appreciate it. if the election was ever certified in joe biden's favor the president might announce a 2024 bid soon thereafter. let me see, you'll have a hiding biden and president trump in exile. wow. be careful what you wish for. remember, he would still be eligible to serve another term he could do that, and let's be clear. this is not over yet.

today, our friend geraldo rivera completed that he had a heartfelt phone call with his friend, been a friend a long time, donald trump, who said he is a realist, he'll do the right thing, but he wants to see what states to do in terms of certification. he sounded committed to fightins for every vote. as he should be. here with us is geraldo rivera. author of an upcoming book "modern warriors: real stories from real heroes" and "fox & friends" cohost pete hegseth. you agree this is a mess? all the states can get everything right and we have results in hours, and all of these other states, still counting votes ten days later something is wrong. you don't have voter i.d. laws something is wrong.ou if you have a law, you are a

lawyer, and partisan observers are not allowed to observe, that is a violation of law, or changing the law, as we saw in the pennsylvania supreme court yesterday. you can't do that two days before an election. >> i think, sean, first of all we need one ballot for every state for a president and vice president, and then the down ballot, you can tailor them to the particular jurisdictions but this is crazy. i think kayleigh mcenany is absolutely right. the democratic party did use the covid-19 epidemic as an excuse to have the most liberal voting we've ever had, certainly in thn modern history of this country. you mentioned my conversation with my friend, the president of the united states, and i feel that he's resigned, in some ways, to the fact that the

playing field is very uneven where it comes -- where it concerns the president himself. he's very frustrated, he's flustered, he's disillusioned but he is also realistic. he used that characterization himself about his own chances. he said he'll do the right thing when the time comes, but he wants every legitimate vote counted. you know, we were talking, sean and we were talking, you know we are all covering the greatt news about the pfizer vaccine and even the enthusiasm, the sudden optimism of dr. fauci. when did the ceo of pfizer know that their test had come back 90% effective? don't tell me that it was just you know, when he announced it. he had to know two weeks ago. >> sean: geraldo -- >> he had to know in october. >> sean: these trials, they started at the end of july and in early august. if they weren't successful, they would have been stopped. if people were dying, if they weren't creating antibodies they've known through september that what they saw in phase two trial was what was happening now.

or else they would have stopped it. they didn't. so we already knew the answer. that's a great point. did you talk to the president about that? >> i did, indeed. let me just make one more point as a reporter, the pfizer ceo saying that pfizer's vaccine was not part of operation warp speed. everyone could've checked that instantly, back in the summer in july, i think it was, the federal government announced they were investing $1.9 billion for 100 million doses of an unproven vaccine, and they gave them the money, so they had the money to develop, knowing if the vaccine was a bust, they've never get the money back. that was president trump, that was operation warp speed, and he talked about not being appreciated for that, he talkedd about so many things that have been used against him, the russia hoax, impeachment, we talked about so many things. he will speak, and i do think there is a resignation settling now in the oval office. i think there is a recognition you know, maybe because the deck

was rigged or whatever it wase we've lost this battle. this is not the last you've heard from president trump. i fully endorse your expectations for a 2024 run. you're not going to keep this guy down. he feels very aggrieved however, he feels very disillusioned, as i mentioned but he will do the right thing. there's not going to be a constitutional crisis. it is all baloney from democrats. and so much of the criticism directed at this most underrated man. >> sean: count every legal vote, geraldo, first. and geraldo is right, pete. the guy has never had a day's peace, not one.

had the best economy, worst pandemic since 1917-18. within a year, less than a year we've got a vaccine. which we will share worldwide. but i happen to believe americans should get it first. >> yes, the worst thing you cant do is bet against donald trump considering what has been done against him, considering what they did flooding the zone with mail-in ballots, using covid-19 as an excuse. we need every legal vote to count. unapologetically going after every single one in states like pennsylvania and arizona and georgia, get every single vote and uncover the extent to which the left wants to drive a truck through voter integrity. it's not over in 2020, before we start talking about 2024. but were he to decide, were it to happen and he would have a decision, it clears the field

completely, and then you go to every state legislature, because that is what is decided, not controlled by republicans, and one state senator talks about voter integrity and electionop law, that is topic number one for republicans today. stopping the nonsense, as you talked about in your open, of extending the time frame, of no voter i.d., without that republicans will keep losing. if they can do to the president if they are able to, what they've done in 2020, they will railroad every single republican candidate going forward. nancy pelosi, remember, bill number one in the house, bill number one was about expanding this type of voting. covid-19 happened, and they used it. republicans have to counter attack. as the president has always counterattacked, keep his back right now, and then going forward, follow his lead exposing what the democrats do

in destroying the idea of one person, one vote, which they are hell-bent on doing. >> sean: thank you both. and we come back, how far left socialists are getting ready to impose a radical agenda on you the american people. we, the american people, will get an expiration. newt gingrich is next. ♪ is next.

president-elect biden a mandate to govern and reverse the harmful policies of the trump administration. emerging from the dark days of the trump administration to the dawn of a progressive era. >> sean: not to be outdone fellow socialist elizabeth warren also praising the biden-harris agenda, calling it the most progressive economio platform ever, and far left filmmaker michael moore amplifying calls to abolish the electoral college, so new york california, new jersey illinois, they will pick your president every four years. let's be clear, this new extreme, radical democratic socialist and even lawless party, they are on a quest forra power, at all costs. and they are vowing to destroy anyone and everyone that dares to get in their way, including members of their own party. for example, look at this tweet that was sent out by theth real speaker of the house congresswoman ocasio-cortez showing her staring down

west virginia senator joe manchin in responset to his tweets slamming this whole defund the police movement insanity. even nancy pelosi cannot avoid the wrath of this new crop of progressive radicals, as far left groups now, this week, slam the speaker over her now infamous ice cream stunt remember, in the spring, callinh it an unforced error that hurt the party's messaging and lead unexpected losses for democrats in the house last week. pelosi, schumer, biden, are under more pressure than ever to surrender to socialist extremists inside their party from policy to personnel, this crop of radicals, they are not interested in any compromise. we know they have no desire for real civility. we watch them the last four years. they want cabinet positions. they want top influence.

they want all the power, no matter what it takes. and it's why all eyes are on th5 state of georgia. why this election, january 5th yeah, it is very important. that would be for david perdue and kelly loeffler, to ensure that, oh, they are in office in january. keep the senate in republican hands, as some check, as some balance, because we need to stop this power grab right now, or say hello to, let's say, two new states, four new democratic senators, democratic majority in the senate, possibly in perpetuity. packing the court, no more electoral college, and yes, more doom, gloom, dark winter lockdowns, because get this, one of joe biden's covid advisors already scheming to implement a lockdowne 4-6 week that would further decimate the economy and the lives of working men and women, and it's even worse, he's got another advisor dr. zeke emanuel, he wants any vaccine to be first distributedd globally, across the world. guess what, america last instead of fellow citizens here in the u.s. that sounds like, yep, america in last place. meanwhile, new york governor andrew cuomo continuing to play politics with a

life-saving vaccine suggesting he won't even accept distribution of a vaccine developed under the trump administration without a separate review process. here now, author of "trump and the american future," former speaker of the house, fox news contributor newt gingrich. i mean, what they are saying what they say that they will do is predictably going to fail and even -- let's see elizabeth warren, bolshevik bernie, aoc, kamala harris well, weak, frail, cognitively struggling joe, michael moore no electoral college. i think they mean all of it. >> oh, i'm sure they mean all of it, and i'm sure that at this moment of seeming victory, they are giddy with excitement.

the two people who ought to be happy out of what you just reported are kelly loeffler and david perdue. because this clarifies the georgia senate runoff perfectly. loeffler faces the most radical in the country, and david perdue up against jon ossoff, solid complete, 100% obedient san francisco radical fund-raising machine, so i think every time, from here to runoff in georgia, every single day the left does something stupid is a big gift to loeffler and perdue and should remind the american people how vital this is because you are exactly rightoeo they win, mitch mcconnell locks disaster in the senate. they lose, and kamala harris as president of the senate breaks the tie, so kamala harris and the democrats get to decide what to do. i mean, it's about as big a gap of the future of america as you could imagine.

>> sean: you know, we've been in this game, there is a business long remember california, that was in play for republican presidential candidates. wipe it off the map, it's not going to play anymore. there was a time virginia was in play. george allen, right? there was a time colorado was in play. now it doesn't seem to be in play anymore. the rust belt states pennsylvania was very winnable easily winnable for a republican. that map gets smaller and smaller. what is going on in georgia and north carolina that things are this tight? >> well, i still want to see a

real recount, a real canvas in georgia. >> sean: we are having that. >> no, we are not, not necessarily. it turns out the secretary of state signed a consent agreement that stacey abrams insisted on that means you cannot identify the people who cast the absentee ballots. i only learned that today, and i think it is so appalling that it is unimaginable. but apparently that's what he did, and apparently the a goverr approved it, and so, you know they can go out and canvas, as long as they don't try to find out who voted. >> sean: is that going to impact the senate race? is that going to impact the january 5th senate race? >> it could, sure. this is why they ought to call a special session, they ought to come back in and look at what they've done.e? this was, remember, the constitution gives authority to the states legislatures, not to the secretary of state, not to the governor, not to judges. it says very directly in the constitution, the state legislatures, and these state legislators ought to stand up

and do their job, and in a case of georgia, this is an absurd agreement that changes state law.at it makes no sense at all, and they are to fight it. >> sean: speaker gingrich thank you for being with us. all right, the mob, the media they are now sunk, believe it or not, to new lows this week. especially fake news cnn. you're not going to believe what they had to say about the president. joe concha, tammy bruce analyze that and more, straight ahead. ♪ew the president. joe concha, tammy bruce analyze that and more, straight ahead. ♪ our retirement plan with voya gives us confidence... ...we can spend a bit now, knowing we're prepared for the future. surprise! we renovated the guest room, so you can live with us. i'm good at my condo. well planned, well invested, well protected. voya. be confident to and through retirement.

woke, come after you with a vengeance. the worst of it are twitter and facebook, the social media platforms, the most egregious offenders. if you don't meet their preset partisan standards, you'll be canceled, you'll be censored and so i was pleased to see alito to cry what is happening in america, and he cited a nevada case in which the governor said it is okay to gamble in a casino, but it's not okay to worship in a church. and the supreme court wrongfully upheld that decision, but they are going to revisit it now, as you point out in new york, the recent order by governor cuomo that essentially says you can shop to your hearts delight at macy's, but don't you dare go into a mosque or a synagogue orr a church to worship.it this is a clear violation of the equal protection clause. you are treating one group different than another, and i would suspect the supreme court

now recompose with amy coney barrett, will strike it down. >> sean: jason, how big a danger? >> it's huge, sean. this is disaster liberalism. this is how they deal withh things. it's the hypocrisy. you can't use the word "hypocrisy" enough, but they take a crisis and use that as an excuse to suppress rights and things that would be counter to what they want to see happen. they don't like religion. they don't respect religion. they think it is a joke. for those of us that pray and do believe in god and might believe in jesus christ, as i do, they disparage it, they laugh at it and they don't want it to happen. that's why they'll go out and celebrate without masks and jump up and down in the streets, but if ten people want to get together and pray or go to a church in new york city, a red zone, that is illegal.n it's unbelievable, the hypocrisy. >> sean: i think it is well said. really, you can gamble, but you can't go and pray, whatever your faith happens to be. if you are christian, like i am oh, we can't do that. unbelievable. all right, guys, thank you both. more "hannity" right after this. history

also destroyed the lives of thousands of jewish survivors still suffering today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. "comfort ye, comfort my people." especially during this holiday season of hanukkah. when i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. these elderly jews are weak and they're sick. they're living on $2 a day this now, is how god's children are living. take this time to send a survival food box to these forgotten jews.

the international fellowship of christians and jews urgently need your gift of $25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the essentials they critically need for their diet for one month. your special holiday gift will provide everything they need to celebrate the miracle of hanukkah. this is the first time in over 70 years that she has anything to do with faith. the communists came and wiped it out. and now we're coming to her and saying, "it's okay to have faith." it's okay to light the hanukkah candles. for just $25, you can help supply the essential foods they desperately need for one month. i just want to encourage all of you to join with yael eckstein and the wonderful work of the international fellowship of christians and jews. god tells us to take care of them, to feed the hungry.

and i pray holocaust survivors will be given the basic needs that they so desperately pray for to survive. >> that is all the time we have left tonight as please, set your dvr so you never miss an episode. always lit not your heart bee troubled. why? laura ingraham is next. we hope you have a great weekend. ♪
