♪ >> sean: unfortunately, that's all the time left we have this evening. to set your dvr, never met an episode of hannity. we will see the truth in everything the mob ignores. let not your heart be troubled, laura ingraham, big show tonight. it be when i just tweeted about the whistle-blowers. you book them so we cut in. they were great. it was really -- you folks them on the show, the whistle-blowers. we cut them because they were already booked on your show. i was riveted, and i watched every minute and i tweeted about it. kudos. kudos. >> sean: there were other great people, so compelling. there are hundreds of them. to be we've had some of them on, but they were -- there m minoriy voices and they are being dismissed. >> sean: i thought whistle-blowers were patriotic

and courageous? >> laura: whistle-blowers that want to impeach him, they are cool. everyone else, they don't count. if they not patriots. >> sean: they are you here say. exactly. >> laura: this is an grim angle from washington tonight. we are going to get right to it. america shrinking with blinking. that's the focus of tonight's angle. one of the big question marks of last years has been who will be actually running the show in any biden-harris administration. obviously, biden himself cannot carry the burden of the presidency. he can even get through a weekend with his dogs. someone has to call the shots. it is now obvious that on the three topics of foreign policy, trade policy, and china there is a bold new cores -- the real power and if biden administration would be tony blinken. >> how will joe biden a as a

president view china, partner, competitor, rival, enemy, what and how question mexico some combination of all you just said. >> laura: how profound. let me get this straight, first biden says china is not a threat. then his echo terry state says they are almost partners with us? what's next, they help decorate the white house christmas tree next year? what are blinkin blinken's plan? the notion that america must never, ever do anything on its own. here's a quote from blinken. we are not the leader of first choice because we are always right or because we are universally liked, it is because we can strive with the best of our ability to our lineup our actions with the principles and because our leadership has the ability to mobilize others and make a difference. let's look at this quote

carefully. it the first assures us that the power doesn't come from the righteousness of its cause. can you imagine washington or lincoln or fdr or reagan, or trump talking about america in such a dismissive way? so far so bad. it does echo one of her previous leaders. it's because there've been times where america has showed arrogance and been dismissive. even derisive. >> americans are not your enemy. we sometimes make mistakes, we have not been perfect. we have made our share of mistakes from restoration. >> of america's standing in the world. the americans are working through our own darker. max and her history. >> laura: th the biden dark winter is just starting. what does mr. blinken see is

america's strength? we strive to the best of our abilities to align your actions with their principles. that statement is just meaningless speak. every government seeks to enliven its actions with its principles. president xi does it in china. so does maye mayor de blasio and dumbledore at hogwarts. the only real one according to blinken's quote is that our leadership holds the ability to mobilize others and make a difference. according to him, america acting alone counts for nothing. we are only important if we can mobilize others. we didn't win the cold war with troops or money, we simply mobilized others. the protesters in hong kong this summer, they did not waive american flags because they believed in our ideal of freed freedom, they were just happy we have other countries on speed dial, apparently.

what if other countries refused to be mobilized? what if heaven forbid they put their interests ahead of ours? >> for decades, the same tired of voices proposed the same failed solutions. a pursuing global ambitions at the expense of their own people, but only when you take care of your own citizens will you find a true basis for cooperation. >> laura: for example, what if mr. blinken asked the europeans for help on china, and they say no? what if he asked them to put pressure on iran, and they refuse? well i guess he's out of options because his only power, the power to mobilize others, won't always work. blinken is essentially announcing to the world that we will never act unilaterally. we will depend on the goodwill of other countries. this is been tried before. >> america can't do this alone. the afghan people need our

troops and your troops. our support and your support. >> the future that we are building together, not separately. at that starts here in europe. the people of europe are more secure and more prosperous because we stood together for the ideals we share. >> laura: [laughs] the europeans helped obama in such low esteem that they didn't do anything of significance to help with china. japanese and other asian countries signed the pacific partnership. that deal was so bad for you did bad for united states and so favorable to other countries, even hillary clinton had no choice but to oppose it. one thing we know about foreign policy that everyone knows how to take advantage of a sucker. so when blinken tries to mobilize the e.u. against china, he will have to sacrifice our

trade policy to please you your cats at the wto to even get a hearing. if he will trade american jobs by limiting the tariffs put in place by president trump. >> does trump have a point that there is a systematic set of predatory practices that europeans have enacted? >> he has a point on specific products and industries, but starting a trade war with our closest allies is not the way to make that point. he has now started a race to the bottom. >> laura: blinken will put israel and the entire middle east at risk by doing what europe wants. they are giving a free hand in some mad money. this is what he said about the obama administration nuclear deal that trump little us out of. >> it's made a safer come up countries around the world safer. a part of that involves lifting sanctions on iran. that freed up money that was

frozen around the world. they had a bank account. the overwhelming majority of that money is going into the economy. >> laura: a blinken knows, how dare you question him? china, blinken will get a hero's welcome in beijing. >> he won't be in tough as china as trumpets been. he has tried to destroy china in this way. >> it's good for the world that biden has one. >> biden and his globalist lackeys will pour new investments into china, energizing its efforts to become the most powerful country on earth. as china gets stronger and we get weaker, we must make blinken's peace through surrender policy a major issue going forward, including in the georgia senate race. i don't believe that the people of georgia want to give up on american sovereignty and to leave themselves wholly

dependent on the goodwill of the europeans, the canadians, or any other country for that matter. the confirmation hearing for blinken must feature sharp and focused questioning from republicans who challenge his fall of the world foreign policy. and as the inevitable result of the biden approach manifest, we can go back to the country, let's say in 2022, 2024, and seek a return to common sense and renewed focus on our national interests. but that's the angle. jenny me now is missouri senator josh hawley. he serves on the judiciary committee. it's wonderful to see you tonight, you labeled corporatists, were enthusiast, and big tech sellouts. do you think lincoln may be thef them all. explain. >> i was being nice, by the way. i was really holding my fire,

there. can i start off by saying that the idea that the democrats are promoting now, that before this election has been certified, before the electoral college has even met, while there are important appeals and legal cases ongoing, including pennsylvania that i hope the u.s. supreme court would hear, before that is decided her over with, they want to fast-track vice president aydin's picks for his cabinet should he become president. this is insane. didn't know republicans should support fast tracking anything. to be only thing that should be fast tracked is the resolution of challenges on what happens in the election. but that is number one, most important thing. number two, these people say he wants to be sworn in, they're unbelievable. tony blinken, he hasn't met a war that he doesn't love. he thinks we should be in syria even bigger that we have been. he thinks we should have stayed longer, he thinks we should be doing nation-building in iraq.

afghanistan, we should never leave. if this is a kind of work forever america last policy that forwardvoters have been againstd >> laura: how does the squad square supporting this? if they do. all of these progressives who supposedly, want to get out of all of these words. when push came to shove, they made the alliance with the war party, which is now the democratic party. by the way senator, i want to read this report about the firm that blinken cofounded with biotin's potential pick forward defense secretary. the company summaries of successful work include projects that appeared to beijing while not drawing fire. i have to note that he serves as the acting director of the biden center. during that time, anonymous chinese donors gave the biden center $22 million over two

years. is there any wonder why china is getting over this? >> it's unbelievable. you are right to point out his ties to china. he thinks we got to have closer ties to china, dismissed the idea that china is a competitor. he's more than a competitor, he's an opponent. they are our biggest national security threat for coming decades. he doesn't get that at all. he is someone who has advised big tack on how to break into china, how to get closer to china. this guys totally wrong. you should not be in charge of anything. certainly shouldn't be in charge of this country's foreign policy. i'll tell you ken, if joe biden ends up being sworn in as president, he should prepare for hard of vetting of every single nominee. and no republican should be out there. every nominee should be subjected to rigorous vetting and questioning. >> laura: that you and i are on the same page about the

jessica -- janet yellen, former head of the fed under obama. she said today she has laid out her priorities. >> we risk missing the obligation to address the structural problems. it we will collective purpose to control of the pandemic and to build our economy back better than before. to advance racial equity and to make sure the economic recovery includes everyone. to address the climate crisis with american on genuity and american jobs. >> laura: the treasury secretary, if she's confirmed, will basically be a social justice outfit, not so much worried about treasury but worried about, i guess, reparations and the like. reaction to that? it's because she talks about making sure the recovery includes everyone. unless you are an american

worker, because this is the same person who supported all the ruinous trade deals that president trump is work so hard to change and put this country first. yelena someone who said the trade deficit with china is overblown. billy, we've lost over 3 million jobs to china. she thinks this is no big deal. it she thinks we should have closer ties with beijing. by the way, wall street loves her. wall street loves yellin. that should raise questions. why do all the big banks and investment firms, why do they love her so much? the answer is, she's going to give them whatever they want and she's going to fellow american workers. she will wrap it all in the garb of the social justice critical race theory nonsense. that's exactly what they're going to do. i can tell you, this is once again -- if joe biden -- if he is president come january and these are the people he puts up, he ought to be prepared for a rocky rocky time in the

united states senate if the republicans are doing their job. be on what are the chances 1 to 10 that the supreme court will actually accept the losses and except the lawsuit that you mentioned at the outset challenging what was happening in pennsylvania? >> i hope to attend. at this is a case that is very vital that goes to the heart of the mail and balloting changes. that the pennsylvania legislature adopted in contravention of their own constitution. if federal equal put trash and problems there i hope the u.s. supreme court will bring this up. we can't be waiting for resolution, they need to hear it the case now. of the petition went in today. i hope the supreme court will grant and move forward on an expedited basis immediately. >> laura: you and senator cruz very outspoken on that today. i thank you so much for being here tonight, we really appreciate it.

as a senator manchin, the biden team is demanding the g.o.p. green light these potential closed link cases even before the inauguration and before these challenges fully go to the court system. in doing so, they forget that their role and hobbling trump's presidency from the start. to understand exactly what they did, ag bill barr had bill burnham investigate the russian under the new administration. if democrats tried to kill a special counsel, figuratively, will they remember what they said during the muller probe? mollie hemingway, senior editor and fox news contributor, molly, this is a classic box the men moved by bill barr, is it not? >> attorney general barr said that he made durham into a special counsel back in october to make sure they would feel comfortable no matter what the results of the election worried that he would be able to

complete his investigation. at that is precisely what doing it in october did. also keeping that unknown until today shows that he was not doing this for any electoral gain and really has been protecting that investigation to make sure it can go forward at its own pace and whatnot. yes, you have -- you remember when peschel counsel moeller was appointed, everybody in washington, d.c., said if donald trump looked in the wrong direction of molar, that would be grounds for impeachment. i would hope that you would continue to be very consistent about this. that they make sure that by did not intervene in this probe, that they would also make sure that his administration is fully compliant with everything. it's certainly not getting rid of the probe at all. >> laura: you are asking for consistency by the democrats, that's a lot to ask for. congressman adam schiff, known for pushing the facebook russia investigation said this tonight. >> the is not consistent with

the language of the statute he's relying on and can be rescinded i think by the next attorney general. i would presume the next attorney general will look to see if there's any merit to the work that john durham is doing and make a rational decision whether that you at any level. >> laura: schiff really is shameless. it did you forget all the times he talked about how trump was going to fire the special counsel, how trump was going to go after the special prosecutor? these are constant refrains. >> it shows he wasn't actually reading the order that put this counsel in place. barb put him in as a special attorney, it requires you to get someone from outside of the government if you are somehow conflicted in the investigation. if that's not the case. he is continuing to use term, but constraining him with the powers of the special counsel. this is absolutely part for the

course for schiff, who has been claiming for years that he has secret evidence of terms treasonous collusion with russia, never able to provide that. >> laura: it's shameless. up by the way, bill barr bill barr had taken some heat today when ap reported the doj had found not a lot of fraud, didn't find it substantial fraud. a doj spokesperson made this clarification telling fox news that some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the department has concluded its investigation election fraud. that is not with the attorney general stated. at the department will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all credible allegations. what does that tell you, we heard some tough words from trump's legal team saying that they haven't interviewed any of the witnesses that have come forward, at least the big witnesses that we've heard from at this point?

>> many people in the media obviously are not interested in election fraud. you had the testimony given in multiple states where people talk about their own eyewitness observations of how this year's election with its rampant mail and balloting and lack of scrutiny of mail-in ballots led to all sorts of fraud and lack of election integrity. if they are looking into things that could affect thousands of votes. if you had a various elections just this year that came down to six votes and 12 votes. so this is meaningful, and it does take months to properly litigate election fraud, and that is something that needs to continue. >> laura: you bet. otherwise republicans will never win another election. thank you so much. and it strikes again! our elected leaders, most of them democrats, continue to think so little of you they are breaking their own covid rolls on a daily basis.

at the latest example will curl your hair, next. ♪

>> laura: be missed trust in our institutions is bred by the very people we've entrusted them to lead to. this pandemic, we have been

seeing elected officials demand, even threaten punishment for not adhering to christia crushing cd dictates. then they turn around and break them. london paris joined a socialized dinner at the swanky french laundry restaurant just three days after banning indoor dining in san francisco. is there any other restaurant? apparently that's only when they go to. if you feel this entitled behavior has gone them for months, you're right. mayor lori lightfoot got a haircut after cutting nonessential psa. as she defended her hypocrisy, of course. >> i'm on national media, and i mount the public eye. you know, i am a person -- i take my personal hygiene very

seriously. as i said, i felt like i needed to have a haircut. >> laura: she needed a little self-care. do you little people, you can look like day in and day out. staying in illinois, billion bie governor was forced to acknowledge his family members while residence in his state were locked down. morning spout memorial day weekend, gretchen wittner's put his and the holiday. he put it off this way. >> laura: and my husband made a failed attempt at humor, knowing it would make a difference, he jokingly asked if being married to me might move him up in the queue. he thought it might get a laugh. >> laura: that's hilarious. hilarious to michiganders who weren't allowed to go to the hardware store, i'm sure.

that same week in may, new mexico governor michelle lujan grisham, she's a nightmare by the way, pulled rank to make a jewelry purchased from a store in albuquerque. this, after closing nonessential businesses. it in early september, speaker nancy pelosi used a shuttered san francisco hair salon for mask list blowout. she had the audacity to respond to the controversy this way. >> it was clearly a set up. i take responsibility for falling for a set up. it's a neighborhood so long that i've gone to for years. >> laura: i love the hand motions. while bowser disregarded her own cities covid restrictions travel issued to attend a joe biden victory speech in november. she defended it as essential travel. in mid-november, gavin newsom

attended a much publicized mask list and indoor dinner at the same restaurant, the french laundry. offering this odd apology. as they go i made a mistake, i apologize. i'm not telling people they can't eat, but indeed,. >> laura: extra people. it just the last week the mayor of denver flew out of state for thanksgiving hours after asking his residence, you people stay at home. the mayor of san jose traveled to have thanksgiving with his parents a day after tweeting a warning to his constituents about travel. an l.a. supervisor dined outdoors after saying this days earlier. >> with the servers are not protected from us. if they are not protected from their other six tables they are serving at time. it is a most dangerous situati

situation. >> it's dangerous all right. it brings me back to the point we made at the top. the hypocrisy of these elected leaders breeds nothing but resentment and mistrust among the citizens. no wonder they question everything from election results to covid restrictions. i thought we are in this together, that was all i was in it? i guess that ends when they need their hair down or just a fun night out. citizens are fighting back against this covid-pocrasy. in illinois man has refused to quote down his bar despite the governor's orders. my coffin, owner of the village tavern and girl joins me now. mike, have you been threatened with any sort of fine or other punishment? >> i can't say we have. we've had some phone calls from the health department and other people. we are still open for business. we were asked to close down forr

two weeks. we let the curve slow down, eight and a half months later, we are still asked to close do down. we can splayed the bill pay thes like this. i'm not the only one staying open, most of them are open for business. we can't afford to shut down. we have families, we have families with children. we have single moms. what are they going to do to survive? we are staying open as long as we can. we all got together out here, we have the council, and we will listen to the council. >> here's what your esteemed governor said about the next steps for the state. >> we extend the statewide emergency? >> if i had to imagine if we had to declare another disaster come out they highly likely. if not going t to a stay-at-home

order. it that would certainly be the next step we could take four mitigations four mitigations. >> i'm going to declare disaster right now. his governorship. he says it's going into effect, no doubt about it. what does that do to you guys? >> we are all staying open. if we close down again, we will never be able to open up. we are all in survival mode. how can you run a business or in the half months just doing carry out or just doing 25% off? >> laura: you can't. it they cannot survive. one of the great restaurants in texas was explaining the entire thing to me. it was so infuriating. there's no cases of any spread in the restaurant. they are bending over backwards, and they are still getting hassled or threatened. even if nothing ends up

happening, these are people's lives, too. i think the restaurant tours across this country come i hope more of them fight for their own survival and their own rights. what do you say to them tonight? >> i say god bless them. it keep fighting. we have no choice. we can't lay down. if we lay down now, is it going to happen again next year? we are in trouble out here. we are all in trouble out here. not just restaurants. to small businesses. we need help. we need to stay open. we need some help from congress. whatever it can be, we can't keep going like this. we spent thousands of dollars on plexiglass sanitizing stations, tense, air filtration systems, purifiers, where during our best. we are very clean. we are cleaning everything all the time. in restaurants --

>> laura: i mean, there's very little science behind a lot of these things. you artie knew that. i think you, good luck, i will see when i come into the state. i will make sure to pay a visit. since his covid crisis began, we've been asking, bolt life ever return to normal? why are some fighting so hard to keep you from going back to normal? we have answers, next. now, simparica trio simplifies protection.

ticks and fleas? see ya! heartworm disease?

no way! simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. and simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies. it's simple: go with simparica trio. this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures; use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him with all your heart. simparica trio.

>> there two or three vaccines, how do you know which one you should take? because the answer for the next few months, you will not have much of a choice. you pretty much have to take what's offered to you. >> laura: no choice for americans. if that's what you're getting under a biden administration. does that make you uneasy? it should. after you take what's offered, will you have the choice whether you can finally not wear a mask? no.

lots of experts are still advising even after you get vaccinated, stay 6 feet away while always keeping your face covered. joining me now, dr. remain, cardiologist ceo. the cdc just submitted their recommendations on who should get the vaccine first. your thoughts on that. apparently you get no choice which vaccine you get. we will never go back to normal. thoughts. >> i think the cdc got it half right suggesting that high risk individuals should get it. i'm not sure all first line health care providers are at risk. i also think these vaccine trials were specifically geared not to show success, but not to distinguish between those who might avoid getting a moderate to severe case of covid versus those who would get a mild case of covid. what i've been telling my patience is sit tight, let see the data. it don't commit to getting a

vaccine or not getting a vaccine. take your vitamin d, take your zinc, wash your hands, and let slip the science, not press releases, decide how we should proceed. >> laura: alex, we might also be dealing with the immunity certificate requirements which airlines -- the airline industry group are talking about coordinating their efforts. that would essentially ground people who cannot prove they've been vaccinated for covid. what about that? >> let's talk about two different issues here. everything that dr. o said, i totally agree with. if the interesting thing about the vaccines is the top line data that's been released looks really good. because of the way that public health experts of the rest of the media have behaved in the last six to nine months, because of the way they have suppressed, because of the way they've

criticized people, because of the way amazon suppressed me and my booklets, there is tremendous distressed out there. ironically, now that we are in a place where we might actually have something, that could be good. there is tremendous distrust. they are trying to backdoor force people into this. what they should be doing is talking about, hey, this looks good and we are to encourage people. if they tried to force people to take this, there's going to be a tremendous backlash, as there should be. >> laura: speaking of mistrust, a peer-reviewed study being published this month found that 84% fewer covid hospitalizations treated early with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. think about where we are all water and april talking about hd queue. it was all false. how detrimental was the medias

demonization of the hydroxychloroquine question mexico according to dr. reese, probably over 100,000 deaths that could've been avoided. it had more broad implications. what happened was, we never developed in the united states like any other country, a way of preventing patience from going to the hospital. using either hydroxychloroquine or are directed which i've been very successful and safe to use in most of the world. because of that, we've structured our health care system, we've almost crashed our economy, and we've destroyed small business and potentially, sadly, we may have really wounded ourselves for the military standpoint in the health care standpoint for years to come. >> laura: you received a slew of personal stories. you tweeted about how covid restrictions have ruined lives across america. it why is no one else seeking out these stories?

why are so few politicians who are urging these lockdowns like billionaire pritzker in illinois or newsom in california? do these stories matter to these individuals? >> they don't seem to matter to anybody except for me and the people who read my feet and to you. i don't understand. it there's a bigger issue here, bigger than covid, which is the way tech companies and older conventional media companies are really acting almost in concert to force narratives on people. it's okay to talk about every person who's gotten sick and unfortunately died, some people have obviously died from covid appeared to to talk about any of the collateral damage that the lockdowns have had is not okay. i don't understand how we can live in a society where only one narrative is allowed and free debate and free discussion are not allowed.

>> laura: v depression and the isolation of individuals and losing everything they worked f. we just talked to a restaurant owner who is defying it. he said, this is a matter of my survival. survival comes in all different forms. >> and we are nine months into this. a lot of people have worn a lot. once again, they are being told in california they may not go under lockdown. people are cracking. they are cracking. >> laura: they are beyond cracking. a panel, thank you so much for being here. it coming up, republican orthodoxy has demanded that we avoid one issue for far too long. the pentagon's budget. i have a question and a few prescriptions, next. [ whispering ]

what's this? oh, are we kicking karly out? we live with at&t. it was a lapse in judgment. at&t, we called this house meeting because you advertise gig-speed internet, but we can't sign up for that here. yeah, but i'm just like warming up to those speeds. you've lived here two years. the personal attacks aren't helping, karly. don't you have like a hot pilates class to get to or something? [ muffled scream ] stop living with at&t. xfinity can deliver gig to the most homes.

>> laura: a few weeks ago i proposed some certain areas of agreement that the america first movement might find with progressives. one example is an issue that's been appointed in washington by both parties, and honest examination of the pentagon's budget. we know that the pentagon is extremely hostile to trump. and of america first supporters. it's likely to become more so under biotin. furthermore, we know our

military is scattered around the world's, while china's are concentrated in asia. it's time to ask, should we be spending any money on defense that isn't directly related to the threat from the ccp? or, if we are spending a fortune to defend ourselves, shouldn't our economic policy do everything possible to avoid helping them become richer? here now, someone who could potentially be a part of that new coalition, congressman ro khanna from california, democrat. congressman, i know you share the concern that foreign entanglements have allowed china to get ahead of us. how could a restructuring the pentagon may be start to address this? >> i appreciate you raising that question. the first thing we should look at is overseas contingency. they say it's a slash -- it allows the pentagon to fund overseas bases, fund foreign

interventions without any accountability. my question is, wouldn't it be smarter to put that money and high-speed internet to make sure we are winning in the technologies of the future not let china win in those technologies? those are areas where we could form bipartisan consensus. >> laura: there seems to be a decent size contingent in the democrat party, obviously alexandria ocasio-cortez has assumed it to celebrity status among young people and others in the united states and globally. it they are antiwar democrats, correct? >> let me be clear, if terrorists had our country, we need to do that. i supported president trump and getting the troops out of afghanistan. i supported president trump saying we don't need p troops presence in germany. it there's a consensus that we are spread out too far, and that this is not in our national security.

>> laura: what do you think about the potential dod picks that have been floated for a biotin administration? a lot of these folks it doesn't look like they are going to be anxious to pull more troops out of afghanistan, certainly the generals don't want to do that. >> i've expressed concern about michelle flournoy, let's see what she says. she was for afghanistan, for iraq, for syria. at this cost us trillions of dollars. a china hasn't been in the war since 1979. we've been in 40 wars. if you viewed china as our biggest strategic competitor in the 21st century, than these policies aren't going to allow america to win and compete. there are people in the armed services committee that share this view. if this is not partisan, it's about that america leads the 21st century. it's been what i would love to have you back. i think there are a lot of

issues where republicans can work with progressives, conservatives. at this is just one of the dash one of the more obvious issues given where this debate already seems to be going if biotin is indeed inaugurated. we would love to have you back if this develops. >> i appreciate that. i would love the opportunity. >> laura: great to see you tonight. one of the least self-aware moments in th cnn's illustriousd jushistory is up next

since you're heading off to school, i got you this brita. dad... i just got a zerowater. but we've always used brita. it's two stage-filter... doesn't compare to zerowater's 5-stage. this meter shows how much stuff, or dissolved solids, gets left behind. our tap water is 220. brita? 110... seriously? but zerowater- let me guess. zero? yup, that's how i know it is the purest-tasting water. i need to find the receipt for that. oh yeah, you do.

>> a grenade that the trump administration is leaving behind for joe biden. >> shannon: hang on. even if they are inaugurated january 10 the earth, his new ag couldn't fire durum and put an end to the investigation? >> it's clear they can. politically, it would obviously be a very devastating thing.

>> shannon: it's wait, now we've got hours of coverage on phony claims regarding the 2016 election? they think that team trump can't quit the 2016 -- what a bunch of frauds! to say the least. that's all the time we have tonight. shannon bream, take it all for them here. take it away, a lot of news tonight. >> shannon: that dumb i gather is. we will pick up where you left off. first up claiming a pardon for his children eric and don jr. and rudy giuliani. he is concerned that the democratic run justice department or state prosecutors will press term criminal charges against his family. on twitter tonight, the president and giuliani calling the story fake news. meanwhile in staten island tonight,
