>> thank you. ththat's it for us this evening. we'll be back tomorrow night every night 8:00 p.m. the shell that is the sworn enemy of lying and groupthink. one of our favorites. he came on the show to complain about the coronavirus. we will tell you what happened next. he is here now. trey gowdy sitting in for sean. >> tucker, thank you.he welcome to the special edition of "hannity." i'm trey gowdy in tonight for sean. with thanksgiving just days away, democrats across the country stand ready and able to tell you exactly what you can and cannot do even if they are unwilling to follow their own rules. and nothing is off-limits. pennsylvanian's secretary just announced a ban on alcohol sales beginning this wednesday at 5:00 p.m.sy the state's governor imposed an

in-home mask mandate any time they have a visitor and their dwelling. a similar recommendation that they used in nevada forcing residents to wear masks inside and outside at all times when away from home.s a state wide 10:00 p.m. curfewsi is now in effect in california for everyone in california except, of courset governor gavin. new jersey is under an emergency advisor lockdown and the risks of the state is facing a ten person limit on indoor gatherings. governor phil murphy is even encouraging family members not to hug each other. governor murphy's rules apply to everyone except of course governor murphy himself, who recently enjoyed a mask-free night out with his family at a local restaurant. meanwhile, oregon's governor kate brown is now urging residents in her state to call the police and report any and all violations.

watch this. >> do you want people calling the police on their neighbor nonemergency line? >> look, this is no different than what happens if there's a party down the street and it's keeping everyone awake. what do neighbors do? trthey call law enforcement because it is too noisy. >> that could be a "yes." >> yes, yes. >> trey: remember, this is the same governor who allowed portland to descend into anarchy for weeks and weeks. i kid you not. governor kate brown wants you ty call the police if you see too many family members gathering. but whatever you do, don't get the police involved when there's looting and rioting andth the federal courthouse is on fire or under assault. but even that, it may not be ass asinine as governor cuomo receiving an emmy award for his covid-19.

joining us now with more congressmen and congresswoman both from the state of new york. welcome to you both, how are you? >> great to be here. >> trey: elise, let me start with you. i sat beside you for two years. i know how much family means to you. it must be infuriating when elected officials and politicians telling others they cannot meet with their family and yet they do it themselves. >> it is absolutely infuriating. i am celebrating thanksgiving with my family. we need to make sure thatt individuals are making the best decisions for themselves and take public health seriously. but we should absolutely not be following someone who says we cannot be with our family for thanksgiving. he said that he is bending his thanksgiving with his 89-year-old mom and his

daughters who are traveling. ,o, it's rules for we but they do not apply to us. that is why it is so frustrating and that is why he is the worst governor in america. >> trey: i'm going to hold that thought. i'm going to come back to you on this one. you served our country in uniform and you were also a prosecutor. you've got to help me reconcile the governor in oregon who wants the cops called if you see someone sitting too close to their grandmother at thanksgiving, but don't call the cops when the federal courthouse in portland is under assault for weeks and weeks. help me understand that. >> exactly. so the governor of oregon imposes this restriction whether it's indoors or outdoors, you can't have more than 6 people. but if you want to call youret group, your social gathering antifa and a federal and civilians want to loot businesses, that will be celebrated. you have elected officials celebrating this as celebrating mostly peaceful protests and defending them and giving themra

cover. they go even further than nevada where nevada, the capacity of 200-2000, you could only have 50. you move over to oregon and you can only have the capacity of 25 and it doesn't matter how big your church is. you can only have 4 people at your table. in new jersey, they go door to door with head counts. law enforcement is pushing back on it. you have experience as a prosecutor. you have common sense. we are a nation of personal liberty. limitations imposed by the government must pass a small test and it better not let common sense. and those same law enforcement officers in oregon, they want people to call to report on your neighbor are the same law enforcement officers but this party and these members and their mayors are calling for defunding their police and

stabbing them in the back. so it's inconsistent. but maybe the three of us are the ones who don't get it because cuomo gets it. maybe the governor of new jersey should get an oscar and the governor should get a grammy. scheck, give the tony award to - maybe we are the ones that don' get it. >> trey: who would've ever guessed that the reason we need to fund the police is so that they can arrest families at thanksgiving in oregon. you mentioned governor cuomo. i really thought it was satire when i heard he had won. it reminded me of president obama winning the nobel prize for peace after he had been in office for 10 days. both of you are from new york. what is your reaction? elise, you first to governor cuomo waiting on an award for his handling of covid. >> it is absurd, trey, and look no further than the tens of thousands of families who had

loved ones living in nursing homes who had lost those loved ones because of the fatal decision of sending seniors. that decision was made by governor cuomo. so unless it's for the horror show of the nursing homes during covid under his rule, he deserves that type. he does not deserve the praise he is getting from the mainstream media. he has the worst record of managing covid and he also has overreached his power. he has smeared law enforcement as we are heading towards this holiday week celebrating thanksgiving. they are not going to enforce these rules because the rules of the governor has set, not allowing families to get together, they know that they need to focus on real law enforcement issues, not tearing families apart. so i think it's just absurd. i think it's typical from thees hollywood far left. they are so disconnected from the reality and really the failed leadership that every

new yorker understands under governor cuomo. it's just failure this last year. >> trey: well, congressman c elise said he is the worst governor in the country. do you agree with that or is there something missing? >> well, there seems to be a bunch of other governors right now looking to compete for that title. but governor cuomo stands out on many fronts. early on he was saying that other states can't impose their own restrictions. that would be declaring war on new york. as soon as some of the number started to turn in new york, we started to see more restrictions imposed on dozens of other states around the entire country. we now have, you can't go to the gym after 10:00. o who cares if somebody wants to go out and work on after 10:00? talk about not passing the smell test and lacking common sense. you are forcing people to work out for fewer hours during the day.nd that meets there's going to be higher density of people. it is counterintuitive..ci

in new york city, they just closed the schools but we need our kids in school. that's where it's important for their well-being, for their education, for their health. and we are seen in almost, and almost 0.0% spread between kids inside of the school system. but he is the one who ends up getting the award. he may want governor desantis - being a leader is about accepting responsibility and accountability.rn is also also is that this president administration has delivered for new york. when governor cuomo was asking for the administration sending it, they turned it into a field hospital. the testing approvals, all of the funding that came to the state. meanwhile, during an emmy thpresentation today, he playeda clip of the governor saying that the federal government has not provided any help to the state. that's just not true. so the governor has been very adversarial in many parts especially as november 3rd got closer.

the lack of honesty is one that shouldn't be praise. it's one that actually deserves more accountability. i guess that's why you're here. you are asking the tough questions. there are others who are doingqu the same.g meanwhile, he is collecting his payday on the book. >> trey: it's hard being a republican in new york. thanks for what you do. happy thanksgiving to both of you. tonight, covid-19 infections are on the rise. thankfully a vaccine is around the m corner. in the meantime what do you need to do to keep you and your loved ones safe during the holidays? joining us now with more is fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier. welcome, dr. saphier. >> hey, trey. great to be on with you. >> trey: thank you. physicians are respected. for that family right now trying to decide what to do on thursday, weighing and balancing the risks, what are some of the

factors they need to consider as far as deciding whether or not to spend thanksgiving together? >> well, listen, trey, every family is incredibly different. i can tell you from my family my husband and i are in and outn offe the hospitals every single day. we cannot offer a level of security to our friends and family so we are just going to en limiting it to our immediate family. you can still be with people regardless of the number of people there. i hate these arbitrary numbers these limitations that are being given out by policymakers.ra ultimately, if you are making good decisions, if you and your loved ones are perhaps limitingd your social activities prior to thanksgiving to really lessen the risk that you are bringing that virus to the dinner table, you can be safe with people. if you have high risk people in your party, perhaps they don't join you.h want to make sure there is some level of physical distancing. maybe not be sharing communal plates.

but there are safe ways that you iscan be together. i don't necessarily recommend traveling out of state or getting on an airplane right now. we want to keep the number of people kind of at a minimum right now because we don't want this to ramp up our cases and make it even more difficult to spend the christmas holidays together. >> doctor, this seems like a dark and boding time for us. but there's also a light at the end of the tunnel and that would be the vaccines that are coming. what is your assessment of the vaccines, progress being made and what is a reasonableur timeline for us to go from testing to our upper arm? >> dr. saphier: well, let me tell you, i don't mean to beat a dead horse for the last segment. but i also find it cheeky that governor cuomo is being given a reward for some of his commentary early on in the pandemic. i did appreciate some of those

anecdotes but a lot of what he said regarding hospitalizations ventilators and nursing home debts. you want to give an award to someone? how about the incredible scientists, researchers, and other workers. they have in record-breaking thtime gotten two successful vaccine candidates demonstrating a 95% efficacy blowing our expectations out of the water. they are going to both have it by the end of 2020 and they have vowed tens of millions of doses to americans by the end of 2020. a few months ago, we saw this as a pipe dream. no way was this going to happen. but here we are, it's happening and even today, they are entering a late stage trial and we are likely going to have some of their data and potentially that available early 2021. great news. not to mention, the antibody cocktails, which are also showing keeping people out of

the hospital. it would not have been accomplished without the federal government's support through operation warp speed. you want to give an award to someone, how about any of the people i just mentioned. >> trey: a glimmer of hope. if we can make it through this rough patch. dr. nicole saphier, thank you and happy thanksgiving to you and your family. for months joe biden blamed president trump for covid-19 deaths and now, joe won't even answer a single question about his plan to battle covid-19. watch. >> mr. biden, are you going to encourage the union to cooperate more to bring kids back to the classroom, sir? [inaudible] >> trey: joining us now with more, fox news contributor and former white house secretary sarah sanders. welcome to you both.h.

>> thanks for having us. >> thanks, troy. >> trey: sarah, did you ever wish you were the press secretary? so many easy questions and then got offended when he actually got a good one. >> you know, i wish that i could say i'm surprised that joe biden, one, doesn't take tough questions or, two, that he doesn't have hard questions to even answer. it's absolutely absurd how little the press holds joe biden and all of his alliesg accountable. they didn't do it during the campaign so i'm not surprised that they are not doing it now. but at some point, i do think that he is going to have to stop up and answer some of the questions that are put in front of him. look, i took harder questions by

daily every morning and joe biden has taken the entire year and a half that he was running for president. president trump took questions all of daily from the press. i think it's absurd that they don't hold his feet to the fire and don't push him harder to actually answer any questions. when he does, they are softballs and they are usually scripted and stuff that even my 8-year-old daughter could probably handle answering. >> trey: you know, sara, you raise a broader point. i think we need a societal referee. we need an arbiter. i get this question all the time. where can i go for the facts? where can i go for the truth? the duplicity of the media. you were an ambassador. did you notice any disparity between the way you were covered or johnny was covered as opposed to the way that adam t schiff ws covered? look, we talk a lot aboute democracy and how democracy is under cast through different actions, which i think it's really healthy. but there is no other thing that

you can say than a press that is not unbiased, an entire press corps in washington, d.c., that cheerleads and is part of this. that's a recipe for disaster when you think about how to hold government to account. how to challenge power. we call this out when we see it in other countries, when you don't have a press corpsps that plays fair, that immediately goes for one side and protects that one side at all costs. i also think that we have to get to the point, those of us on the outside of washington, d.c., we have to be smarter about what we are asking washington, d.c., to do. in many ways, i think we arere asking them to reform themselves including the washington, d.c. wpress. they all live there, they work there, they go to school there they go to church there. they know each other. their social circle is dependent upon each other.

they continue to say, oh, thesen reporters need to be unbiased and they need to push and hold the government accountable. i actuallyo thought we are at te point where they are never to do that. so this is where social media is such an important tool, to be able to check government and push out the facts as we see it. let's not rely on the media anymore because the media has failed us. i don't think they will ever do that. >> trey: we have about 30 seconds. what should a careful observer be looking for in the early days of joe biden's administration to see whether or not the media is going to do its job and be that neutral detached arbiter? >> sorry, go ahead, rick. >> no, no, no, go, sarah.

>> i was just saying that one of the things i always say you can tell a good news story versus an opinion based story is whether or not you can tell which side of the story the journalist is on. if you can't, that's a true news story. if there's ato lot of bias injected into the story, you can tell that they leaned to the left. that is not a new story. atat's an opinion column. we have gotten so much into a gray area that we've got to go back to having accountability in journalism. that has been lost in society today and we have to hold their feet to the fire. we need to make sure that there is separation between what is news of what his opinion. the only way i think you tell that is if you have no idea what side they fall two. i think he would be hard-pressed to find that in most of today's news stories. >> trey: we will be watching. happy thanksgiving to you both. lindsey graham joins us live.

>> trey: welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." tonight, the michigan state board of canvassers voted to certify the state's election results. meanwhile, the third circuit court of appeals has granted to review dismissing a lawsuit over voting in pennsylvania. this as the wisconsin presidential recount entered its fourth day today. breaking tonight, the united states general services

administration chief announced the agency has reached out to the biden team to formally begin the transition process. after the news broke president trump treated and i quote "i want to thank emily murphy at gsa for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our country. she has been harassed threatened, and abused. and i do not want to see this happen to her or her family. employees of gsa, arce strongly continues. keep up the good fight and i believe we will prevail. nevertheless, in the best interest of our country, i am recommending that emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols and i have told my team to do the same. "here to explain where things stand, rnc chairwoman mcdaniel. welcome. >> thanks, great to be with you. thanks for having me trey. >> you have re-upped to have the rnc.

>> i throw my hat in the ring but i have to earn the vote of all the 168 members of the rnc. so calling through them and hopefully will be reelected in january. >> trey: for those who have not been following the gsa story, what should they know? what happened today and why is that significant? >> well, what everyone should know is our president love this country. he is going to put the protocols in place. but he is not by any means giving up this fight. he will have a recount going on in wisconsin with major issues on how the election laws were applied with over 200,000 people saying they were indefinitely confined. that is more than half in 2016. it just doesn't seem correct, especially when you consider that huge increase. and that allows them to evade voter i.d. laws. in georgia, in 2018, 280,000 ballots came in with a 3%

rejection rate for signatures that did not match. this election, 1.2 million absentee ballots came in with a .3 rejection rate. we have a recount in georgia. the governor finally said we should look at the signatures. there is a lot still going on. even in michigan today, the board of canvassers voted 4-4 with the democrats saying there should be legislative review of the election process. so this is far from over, but the president loves this country and he's going to put protocols in place. but he is not done fighting by any means. >> trey: from the standpoint of court filings, you mentioned wisconsin, georgia, pennsylvania, michigan. what other states are there proceedings and what is the status of those proceedings? >> well, we are looking at everything in nevada and arizona as well just to track down any irregularities. you know, nevada did change the settings on their machines. we sued before the election. we knew we were doing that which

made it harder for them to detect the signature was on the envelope. we still think that should be reviewed. so many things, trey, were changed in the name of covid. democrats came in and stripped away many of the mechanisms that ensure election integrity that put our election at risk and made it more porous and stripped away the safeguards that were critical for this election. and you look at georgia. you look at nevada. you look at pennsylvania. huge changes were made in these elections that were different in 2018 or 2016. and we have problems and we need to pursue them. and you have a canvas certification for a reason. with the media has done and democrats have done to harass republicans for even want to look into it, attacking people who have come forward under oath with affidavits. it is really shameful. like ric grenell talked about earlier, we don't have balance in the press right now. it attacks republicans even if we are looking a very real concerns about this election. >> trey: thank you. happy thanksgiving. best of luck to you as you seek

to lead the rnc again. in january control in the united states senate will be decided by two runoff elections in georgia. senators kelly loeffler and david purdue are both looking to keep their seats and g.o.p. control of the senate hangs in the ballots. a republican victory in georgia would stop the far left agenda in its tracks while a democrat victory would empower the democrats to control the house the senate, and the white house. both parties know the importance of these two races and the campaigns have kicked into high gear. georgia is extending ballot boxes and a surge in requests for absentee ballots. joe biden is looking to campaig and the peach state. hollywood celebrities are pouring funds into this race. join us now is senate judiciary chairman who knows a thing or two about that hollywood money in senate races. welcome to you. >> i hope it's as effective in georgia as it was in south carolina.

it didn't matter much year. >> trey: yeah, if anyone is wondering what $100 million will get you, it will get you a runner-up position in the south carolina senate seat. >> [laughs] >> trey: chairman, the rules of the senate. why does it matter who controls the u.s. senate? >> let me give you an example. if we lose these two senate seats in georgia, nancy pelosi will run the house chuck schumer will run the senate. if the president fall short and biden gets to be president, you are going to have pelosi schumer, and biden. it's a nightmare for conservatism. it is the end of checks and balances. what would that do? they would pack it from nine to 13. that destroys the independence of the judiciary because the supreme court would change every election cycle. that would undo what they tried to do in creating independent

judiciary. finally, they let the electoral college go to the popular vote. that means that georgia and other states would be basically dealt out in california and new york would pick a president in perpetuity. it would fundamentally change the country as we know it. the fate of the republic really lies in the hands of our friends in georgia. i live 25 minutes from the georgia border. we grew up with georgia neighbors. to my friends in georgia, the country depends on you. i know you won't let us down but i'm worried. the momentum seems to be with the democrats right now. the money is pouring in. you cannot turn your television on in south carolina without seeing a commercial. greenville, spartanburg, asheville, they are just flooding the zone. and mail-in voting, if you expand mail-in voting in georgia and you allow a single person to

validate the signature adding election office and you don't have bipartisan signature validation, that is a formula for disaster for our two candidates in georgia. i am worried as we speak tonight. >> trey: chairman, i know you are the chairman of the judiciary committee now. if the democrats win both these seats in georgia, who would be the chairman of the judiciary or the budget committee? >> well, diane stepped down today because apparently i gave her a hug. and that is an unpardonable sin. they literally ran her out of her job because she said something about me. let me give you a good example. i hope i don't ruin your thanksgiving. if democrats take over the senate and we lose both seats, bernie sanders will be chairman

of the budget committee in the united states. a socialist would be writing the nation's budget in the senate. if we keep control of the senate, i'm going to be the budget chairman. i may not be your cup of tea, but let me tell you this, i'm a -- of a lot better than bernie sanders when it comes to your money. a lot is at stake. help where you can. the money is coming in major league on the democratic side. my campaign, team graham, we transferred a million dollars tonight to senator purdue for my campaign account. i gave a million dollars to an rfc to every member of the house. please turn your campaign account to help georgia. if you want to help me or help georgia, lindsey graham.com. we need to close that gap. but we've got a good message. we've got two great candidates. i know georgia pretty well here. that's where my parents came from. i just cannot believe that

people in georgia are going to allow this country to be turned into a socialist nation. that's really what's on the ballot. >> trey: so if i heard you correctly, if the democrats win, bernie sanders will be the chairman of the senate committee. if republicans win, you are. having done a christmas gift exchange with you, you are more fiscally conservative than anybody else i know. >> [laughs] >> trey: the box was more expensive than the present i got. >> this is all hands on deck. lindsey graham.com. i will transfer the money over to our friends and our senate colleagues. i've already done a billion dollars to both. i want to double that. you've got friends in georgia. make sure they vote. president trump, keep fighting. we need to change this law in

georgia. where a single person can validate voting by mail. it is a nightmare for us. so, president trump, keep fighting. we need president trump to go to georgia because there are people in georgia who voted for president trump that believe in him more than the republican party. i think that his voice could go a long way in helping us when the two senate seats. i hope you will go to georgia. >> trey: well, senator graham, i know you are doing everything you can do. happy thanksgiving. i hope i see you this weekend. congratulations on your reelection also. also tonight the biden team is announcing some members of its proposed cabinet. biden seems to be bringing in a lot of people associated with the clinton association. here to join us as rick leventhal. >> loyalty is a top commodity including all six security choices.

the familiar faces include john kerry. a special presidential envoy for climate. he tweeted, america will still have a government that treats the climate crisis as the urgent national security threat that it is. the secretary of homeland security would become the first hispanic to hold a position. and the nominee for the top diplomat is a long time biden aid who was in the room with obama when navy seals killed osama bin laden. could help reverse much of president trump's america first agenda. >> he was part of our inner circle in all of our key medians -- meetings and throughout my presidency.

>> biden plans to nominate federal reserve chair as secretary, which would make her the first woman to hold a job. a position also historically only handled by men. she was the national security advisor and cia director under obama. and then confirmation, which could be decided by a republican senate, as you mentioned. the balance of power, clearly at stake. >> rick leventhal, thank you. joining us now with the reaction, a fox news contributor tammy and charlie hurt. welcome to you both. >> hey, trey. >> hi, trey. >> i am going to start with you. some of those names sound familiar. >> yeah, it's really amazing. now we know why joe biden did not campaign before the election. because it turns out that he really is going to just draw on his 50 years in washington and bring back the whole band. and it's a little bit alarming because when you look at some of

these, in particular john kerry it raises a lot of questions about whether or not, is joe biden going to get back into bed with iran? are we going to revisit these climate deals that were so destructive to the u.s. economy while it did nothing for china? are we going to revisit all of the obama economic policies? it sure looks like that. and so, for that matter, i can't blame joe biden for remaining in his basement before the election. >> trey: we have not heard any sitting u.s. senators not nominated. and frankly not discussed. do you anticipate any democratic senators would join the biden cabinet or is it just too close because of georgia? >> well, i think it's close. of course, you've got to think about the playmakers, but really what they were reliant on was the establishment, the swamp.

everyone is worried about the transition, but my goodness, the swamp that is in place in every agency and still in the white house to some degree as we have seen with resistance of the president is that they already are in there. this is not some new group that has no idea what is going on. and that of course is what we fired in 2016. the down ballot clearly was a rejection of the democratic party. it was a red wave and they seem to not care about acknowledging that. at the same time, if we do go back to the obama-biden old foreign policy that was fired, remember what that brought us. it brought us the failed state of libya. it brought us isis. it brought us cash to iran. sailors were captured with their hands behind their neck. it brought us an open border. and you've got people piling up to the border waiting for a biden administration during a time of pandemic.

so if you want to talk about the national security issues, john kerry said it's about climate change. they are going to, you know, open those borders. the person that they have designated i believe was one of the architects of dhaka. and now you've got this during a time of pandemic, which they seem to say is also a threat to the country but it doesn't seem to be defined. so you've got these individuals who are part of that mechanism part of the machine, that government will be the living body and the american people are the things that are defeated. and this is what the big government requires and i think this is what they've got in store. >> trey: charlie, you have an astute political mind. let me ask you a weird question. do you think joe biden wants to win those seats in georgia? is he better off having a narrow majority and then the expectations of doing all of those things crazy house members

want to do? or is he better off being able to blame a republican-controlled senate? >> well, you know, i think it's a really interesting question. i wondered that all along. and then when we heard today that there is talk of the biden administration requiring people to register their guns, it dawned on me that, wow, biden doesn't really want to win the senate. especially in a place like georgia, you can guarantee you are going to lose those two seats. if that does happen, i think you are right. i think it sets up, it gives biden a whole lot more maneuverability it's coming from his left flank. they have full-blown socialists in both the house and the senate. and they want to do some really crazy stuff.

and if joe biden is this five-decades old institution who wants to bring us back from the very heart america first agenda that president trump initiated, if that's, if it's biden, it's the last thing he wants to deal with is this revolt on his left. and so in a lot of ways, i do. i think he probably in his quietest dreams might wish that the republicans pick up those two proceeds. >> trey: happy thanksgiving. thank you for joining us. coming up on the special edition of "hannity," crime and violence continue to plague cities across this country. just this weekend alone, over 50 people were shot in chicago. we will explain and get a reaction from larry elder. stay with us. ♪ e you managing your diabetes... ...using fingersticks?

i guess what, trey, black lives matter is so emboldened, they are demanding a seat at the table with the president. black lives matter antifa is going to grow like isis did in the middle east. if it wasn't for donald trump permeated the entire country. i fear that black lives matter and antifa will go unchecked during a biden-kamala harris administration. >> trey: mr. elder, where is the media outrage? i don't want an innocent life taken, innocent blood sheded regardless of whether it's by the police or if it is shooting through a 12-year-old's front door. where is the media outrage at the lossr of life? >> that's an excellent question trey. you mentioned this last weekend in chicago.

if you look at the last two or three months, there have been several weekends were half a dozen people have been shot. baltimore and st. louis have homicide rates three times higher than that of chicago. and then you have the ferguson effect, now people are calling at the minneapolis effect named after george floyd. cops are afraid they are going to be called racists if they involve themselves in proactive policing. then you've got the overhang of the coronavirus. there is no question that the correlation between a riseot in domestic violence and homicide and the reaction to the despair that has resulted from the shutdowns and rejections. a lot of people don't have jobs money, they are angry and furious, all of this with regard ejto the coronavirus and the mandates that have been handed down by the various states.

>> trey: mr. terrel, if you are an african-american young man and you are watching what is happening in this country and you're looking for some help you are looking for some answers, and i have this conversation all the time. what do these cities need to be doing that they are not currently doing? >> number one, trey gowdy, school choice. the reason why larry elder and i are on this program right now is because of education and the democratic cities and the teachers union did not give a heck about people of color in these schools. if we don't break the cycle of poor education, we will neverth break the poverty cycle. and then you try to get some justice reform. oh, no, you can't do that, tim scott, because he's a republican. the democrats, kamala harris and cory booker wouldn't support it because it came from a republican. i fear the worst for people of color.

>> trey: mr. elder, we've got about 30 seconds. education, economic opportunity. what else needs to happen ino these cities were all lives are valued? including the lives of homicide victims. >> we need to have a serious discussion long term about whether the welfare state incentivize women to marry the government and includes men to abandon their financial response -- responsibilities. obama said when you do that, you increase the chances of poverty of dropping out, and going to jail. we are not even having that discussion. ♪ >> trey: well, thank you both and hopefully we can begin too value all lives. so thank you both. happy thanksgiving to you both. coming up, more of this special edition of "hannity" right after the break. ♪ history
