back monday, the show that's the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. have the best weekend. see you soon. ♪ ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity," we start tonight with bad news if you believe in our constitution, you believe in the rule of law, if you believe in equal justice -- equal application of power laws, if you believe in free, fair elections that americans can have faith in, confidence income integrity -- tonight, that texas suit challenging the election results in pennsylvania, michigan, georgia, wisconsin was rejected by the u.s. supreme court although they have original jurisdiction. they have refused to even hear the case, remember a very serious legitimate challenge

that garnered widespread support, 18 attorneys general, th18 states with briefs in suppt of the case, 126 members of congress supporting the case including minority leader kevin mccarthy signing on to support the brief and a very real concern, your real concerns not even considered. kayleigh mcenany and rudy giuliani the presence of tourney respondent cannot we will have a hannity investigation also -- remember that candidate protection program i told you all about? we turn our attention tonight to the supreme court and the fight for what is election integrity -- the u.s.

supreme court rejected what was a real lawsuit and the decision was not unanimous. dissenting opinions of both justice thomas and justice alito, they wanted to hear the case. they were absolutely right -- this was an original jurisdiction case, this is one they should have taken -- they should be commended for taking a stand. as we discussed in great detail on this program, the case was built on two extraordinarily well argued legally sound, constitutionally sound arguments. one, the suit detailed how article 2 of the constitution was violated, as stated in article 2, it requires state legislatures to decide election policy. we have chronicled, clearly the american people see it, 83% according to a gallup poll it was violated in multiple ways including pennsylvania -- remember mail-in ballot deadline, we will just change it to whatever we want without any lawmaker, legislative approval.

again only a state legislature constitutionally has the right to do that. look at georgia with that horrendous consent decree entered into because of a democratic party lawsuit with the secretary of state and of course they should have gone to the legislature to sign any consent decree -- they did not. flagrantly unconstitutional. second argument surrounding unequal application of the law -- we saw that in droves. we saw whistle-blower after whistle-blower, we saw witness after witness, poll workers, partisan observers, they are encountering and pretty much every county, every city, every state to different rules at every location. that would be equal protection, that clause obviously violated -- let's go back to bush v gore. we know the partisan observers, election workers faced unequal rules, unequal procedures in different counties and even in the same states -- another violation of the constitution.

many states follow the law, many states conducted what was a free, fair, efficient election that everyone had confidence in. a few states did not, many others sustained the entire process. and in doing so, they were disenfranchising all of the legal voters in every other state where they did follow the rule of law, they did follow the constitution, and everything was done properly including texas and the other states that signed on to the suit -- let me make one thing clear. 83 plus percent of republicans in the country come almost 30% of democrats that don't trust the results of the election. 77% according to the quinnipiac poll came out yesterday. after what we have all now watched unfold over the last month, how does anybody trust the election results?

the fight will continue on the state level, breaking news out of wisconsin as the supreme court there has agreed to take up a trump campaign lawsuit challenging tens of thousands of ballots in the state, separate and apart of the case reince priebus has been telling you about in this program -- in doing so, they skipped over the court of appeals in wisconsin, this could be a very good sign. here with reaction, the president's attorney rudy giuliani. we welcome you back, we really are very thankful for your good health and your speedy recovery as with anybody that gets covid -- i have just one page released by the court tonight, your reaction. >> my reaction is great disappointment. this is a case the court i believe has an obligation to take, the case lays out

allegations that would allege the election was conducted illegally. several of them, in the case of the state of georgia, the videotape in and of itself shows the election stolen right in front of your eyes live on tape. you can't discount that. people in this country are entitled to a hearing on this. i feel the supreme court or at least seven of the justices have evaded their responsibility to try to bring the country together and give us a rational view of this case as opposed to the hysterical propaganda we've had so far. these are very sound allegations, they may not be true, they have to be tested but that's what the court is for. they can't just dismiss it like that. and i think are abated their

responsibility as the chief law enforcement agency -- the chief court in this land. these four states had allegations where if they were true than the selection was won by donald trump as opposed to joe biden. they should have at least given us a hearing so we can present our facts and not just push it off to the side where no one will ever get to hear these facts. i think this is going to be a terrible thing in american history. in that film in georgia is going to be like this up router film was to the kennedy assassinati assassination. it will stand the test of time -- how can they say there was no cheating? look at the cheating on tape. stealing enough votes right on the tape right in front of your eyes. >> sean: 83% gallup poll of

republicans see fraud, 77% of republicans, almost 30% of democrats see it -- american now it's taken a while but the case, affidavits had been signed, we've heard from whistle-blower after whistle-blower, i witness after eyewitness, we have now documented cases that's not even a dispute about politicians changing laws, not going as the constitution requires to state legislators, laws were ignored completely, laws about partisan observers never happens -- chain of custody ignored in terms of ballots, unequally applied laws, all of which we have now chronicled. none of these things i mentioned are in dispute at all. >> those judges are unwilling to give us a hearing about it -- see no evil, hear no evil, keep it away from us, it's too

controversial. 882,770 ballots were counted in philadelphia and pittsburgh without a single republican observer. that's outrageous. that's a landslide election. president trump, if you were to look at pennsylvania, won pennsylvania by 302 mecca 400,000 votes, it's been stolen from him and his people have not even had a chance to prove that -- we believe it's been stolen from him, we believe we have facts that allege that and we are not being given a chance to have a hearing on it -- at least give us a hearing and show us how we are wrong. if this is going to leave a terrible division among the american people because there's no question these allegations have not been resolved. they are wide open, right in the middle of the selection, we are talking about millions of votes, hundreds of thousands and millions of votes that were

stolen. hundreds of thousands of votes driven into an arena in detroit at 4:30 in the morning, taken off the truck with garbage pails and counted -- another one in atlanta. >> sean: how about the suitcases under the table after you kick out the media and kick out observers and you start counting when you say no more counting is going happen. >> 138,000 for biden and 7,000 for trump, you can see the being counted four or five times and then machines are being used that can be recounted -- machines are being used or you can change the name of the person who gets the vote -- those machines haven't been fully investigated yet. and when that comes out it's going to be a further scandal -- this is going to live in our history and the supreme court has made a terrible mistake in not getting this resolved in a fair, decent, and equitable way because it's going to leave a real black mark with regard to

the selection throughout our entire history. >> sean: let me get your interpretation in the order tonight, it said justice alito put in a statement joined by justice thomas that said "in my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint of a case that falls within our original jurisdiction." it's pretty straightforward, then goes on to cite the precedent and then says "i would therefore granted the motion file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief and i express no view on any other issue." what does that mean, i would grant the motion to file but would not grant any other relief, what does that mean? >> it means he would grant a hearing and grant no relief until the hearing was heard, no preliminary rulings. the case is asking for various

forms of preliminary relief but the main thing it's asking for is a hearing on the merits. he could grant to hearing on the merits without indicating his prejudice one way or another, which is a very judicial, very sensible, very fair way to do it. that's what they all should have done, they all should have said we can't decide based on they are alleging one thing, they are alleging another thing, either one is true, one side wins or the other, you're entitled to have a hearing, it's too important to the country cannot have a hearing, it's too important to ten years from now not to have this resolved and a ten years from now unless something happens in the state courts, this will be a scandal. that will stand in american history with the court that didn't have the courage to take it up. >> sean: time is now of the essence obviously. the next question is do you have a plan b.

do you see any other legal path? >> the legal path now are in the state courts and you have to hope the justices of the state court are going to show somewhat more determination, somewhat more willingness to be willing to take some degree of criticism and somewhat more willingness to have an open mind -- that's all we're asking them to do, we are ask them to hear the facts. let the american people hear the facts, let the judges hear the facts -- so far the facts have been suppressed, subject to censorship by big media, censorship by big tech, censorship by the democratic party, censorship by the courts. no court has granted a hearing. listen to the facts, what are you so afraid of? listen to the facts. let us play the tape, let's show you how 70,000 votes were stolen that actually change the result in georgia. we can show that to you on tape.

>> sean: i would be negligent if i didn't ask you about -- you know about this hunter biden laptop. my sources have told me and shared with me -- first of all it's an example of media, there's nothing here, nothing here -- big tech suppressing the story which in and of itself is a scandal but more importantly, you know what's on there and i heard for my sources it so bad i probably couldn't even say it on national tv tonight. >> i know it's on there. i know every single thing that's on there? >> how bad? >> it's very bad. what's on there is a 30-year history of the criminality the biden family, taking money for public office year after year, millions of dollars, selling out public office, using his family

as a bagman, taking advantage of the sun, disgusting, horrible, terrible thing that has been covered up and again, i don't know what's good the american media thinks it's doing to the american people by covering this up. >> sean: we are going to run. >> it's tragedy to our country with the media has done to us. the largest in-kind donation ever given in the history of a presidential race. i know you are still in recovery and we wish you the best, thanks for taking time out to be with us, thank you, sir. joining us now, kayleigh mcenany is back with us, you just saw the court ruling earlier tonight. your reaction from a white house reaction. >> there's no way to say it other than they dodged, they dodged, they hid behind procedure and they refused to

use their authority to enforce the constitution. we've gone state-by-state outlining the egregious and equal protection violations and due process claims that were entirely ignored but what is important to note is none of these justices -- this was dismissed on standing, none of the justices gave a view on the facts of the case which is that there were 174,384 ballots in michigan not tie tied to a registration number, it's still a fact in this moment -- they didn't address the fact that the rejection rate in georgia despite a massive increase in mail-in voting rather than be the normal 6%, it was 0.37% because of the elimination of signature verification, they did not get to the merits of the case. those facts still stand and the indictment on this election and its integrity still stands despite this procedural ruling. >> sean: we just heard from rudy you have these pending state cases, the clock is

obviously now a big factor on all of this moving forward. i will tell you and i agree with the 83% in gallup and 77% and quinnipiac, i think fox had a pull out -- what percentage of democrats, i think even democrats see the irregularities that you and i pointed out on the show pretty much every nig night. i don't know how people -- after john durham doesn't act, i don't see how people look at this, it was only certain states and i stand with the 83%, nobody can ever tell us what a fair and accurate result happened here because of all that we'd chronicled him all the witnesses come all the whistle-blowers, all the evidence, now videotape and all the laws that weren't followed, these are not issues in dispute. like partisan observers.

the question is where do we go from there? >> those cases are still there, mike kelly is still try to pursue his case in pennsylvania, there's an arizona case, still that wisconsin case before the supreme court -- these cases are still ongoing. the fight for election integrity continues. would you compare states and the american people observe trickle different realities -- they look at ohio and florida they saw an election system that works, one where we do the winner, one where there were observers and they looked and they saw pennsylvania and georgia and michigan and wisconsin where we didn't know for days, election day became an election week and there was chaos and confusion and a lack of observation. they see the difference. that poll you cited 77% of republicans think that trump won, 26% of independents and 10% of democrats. you can't hide from the american people what they saw with their own eyes. >> sean: thank you for the

update, we appreciate it. coming up, more reaction to tonight's breaking news about the supreme court refusing to hear the texas legal challenge and we will update you on the wisconsin case. of bad news for congressman eric swalwell, we will update that. also the bidens full cover up by the media mob, big tech mob, joe concha and tammy bruce and much more as we continue. advanced non-small cell lung cancer can take away so much. but today there's a combination of two immunotherapies you can take first. one that could mean... a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and that tests positive for pd-l1 and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. it's the first and only approved chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works together in different ways to harness the power of the immune system. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more days. more nights.

michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. it's believed to be the first time a state has tried to nullify election results in other states -- the court finding that texas had no legal standing to file a challenge. the decision coming just three days before the electoral college meets to finalize the 2020 election results. and as the coronavirus rages across the nation, nearly 150 teachers in chandler, arizona, staged a sick outcome of that is the states third largest school district. the teachers are demanding the school conduct remote classes until infection rates decline. meanwhile coronavirus cases in the u.s. now top 15 million. i'm jonathan hunt, back to "hannity." >> sean: the supreme court has rejected the texas law suit, huge blow not only to the president but yeah, 83% of republicans and 23% of independents and 10% of democrats that have watched and

witnessed whistle-blowers and eyewitnesses and evidence and video and have concluded this election was never done fairly. i stand with them. also breaking tonight, republican congressman jim sensenbrenner has filed a complaint with the house ethics committee urging to immediately open an investigation into allegations that eric swalwell was in fact compromised by a chinese spy. it would be important if, in fact, they had a relationship and they might have incriminating evidence on him -- why is he on the house intel committee? we continue to follow that story, meanwhile last night's squad member congresswoman ocasio-cortez takes to instagram to cook lemon pasta with salmon for followers and using the platform to respond to critics who call her radical. >> shot to my fellow radicals who think that we should live in a humane advanced society and that we should be under the

thumb of a $7 minimum wage and racist system because -- i don't know -- because it benefits whoever the people are empowered to already be in power. so shout out to my radicals. >> sean: this morning she posted a video on twitter highlighting which parts of her first term radical agenda she was able to achieve, take a lo look. >> i authored and introduced the great new deal with senator ed markey and secured 150 house and senate cosponsors on it, regional versions were also adopted by ten local governments including the state of new mexico and cities of austin, los angeles, new york city, boston, and more. we unveiled a great new deal for public housing which invested $180 billion in ten years, we got president trump's former lawyer michael cohen to state on the record president trump was engaging in tax fraud and to name other potential witnesses.

on the presidential campaign i cochaired the climate unity task force with secretary kerry to help shape present elected biden's $2 trillion climate policy. >> sean: yesterday she knocked biden's agenda citing a lack of cohesive vision across his cabinet. here with reaction, news contributor's jason chaffetz and tammy bruce. looking at the court decision tonight and understanding its likely ramifications in a lot of ways, one has to wonder, is america really ready for what is about to hit them if this now becomes the law of the land? >> look, i think first of all calling alexandria ocasio-cortez a radical is an insult to actual radicals. this nation is the radical idea.

our constitution is radical, the last radicals we saw were in the mid-1700s, our founders. radicalism is coming up with something completely new that sets people free. she is not a radical, she is someone who is spewing platitudes for a failed idea, for a failed system to effectively trick people into thinking she represents something. it is an ignorant point of view, you can ask the people of venezuela about her kind of radicalism. there's nothing radical about the failed communist states that have destroyed people's lives. she has been misled, her cohort has been misled and americans want the future they can count on -- that is what is in front of the supreme court right now -- not that young woman cooking some salmon over instagram spouting platitudes. >> sean: i've looked at this, it's obviously outcome determinative. it's obviously if four states with enough electoral votes that

literally change the results of an election and the original jurisdiction is the supreme court and then they outright reject -- >> this is a fox news alert, i'm jason chaffetz, we'll go right back to "hannity" in just a moment but first a big development in the fight against covid-19 tonight, according to the associated press, the food and drug administration just approved pfizer's a vaccine emergency use. this means the first americans can begin getting the vaccine within days. front-line workers, medical personnel, and seniors will be first in line to get the vaccine. the decision comes just a day after pfizer's covid-19 vaccine passed a critical milestone on a panel of experts formally recommended the fda authorize the vaccine -- officials expect

to .9 million doses will be distributed around the united states over the next we week. the united states authorization of pfizer's vaccine is expected to be followed soon by one of her old moderna's version which uses similar technology and also shows promising results. a joy to me now with reaction as fox news medical contributor dr. control sapphire. operation warp speed really made this come to fruition in record time, is this safe and how quickly will america start to see the results of this incredible work? >> all i can say is it's about time -- we've been waiting for this spirit of pfizer has demonstrated incredible efficacy, 95% for this vaccine, blown out of the water in terms of its expectations and also prove that it's safe, the fda looked at everything and now they are finally issuing their eua enter through operation warp speed they said within 24 hours they are ready to start shipping out this vaccine to

millions of americans and all i can say is let's get the vaccine in as many people as possible as we can. i anticipate millions of americans will be vaccinated next week and as you mentioned next thursday, the fda is meeting again to talk about the moderna vaccine, that is going to be millions more doses. we are going to have tens of millions of americans with their first injection of the vaccine before the end of 2020, that is incredible, that has never happened before. >> you go and get the first shot and then you come back and get the second shot, are you safe from covid after that first sh shot? >> pfizer says they are able to give americans doses by the end of doses, exiting 12.5 million americans, i think we need to vaccinate as many americans as

we possibly can with this first shipment and let me tell you why. the pfizer vaccine, they have shown data after that first dose, there's over 50% efficacy in terms of immunity. it hasn't been studied so they can't say for certain that people can only have one dose but they have proven there is some level of immunity which exceeds that of the flu vaccine every year. that ranges between 30 and 50% -- they are saying after their first -- they are at 53%, that is higher than most flu seasons. the recommendation of course is to get that second dose because that second dose three weeks later takes you from 53% to max 95%. that number is incredible, i don't think people really understand just how amazing that 95% efficacy is when it comes to vaccines. >> it truly is amazing, dr. safire, thank you for joining us tonight. we now return to our regularly

musical >> sean: this week with the election now safely in the rearview mirror, zero experience hunter biden announced he is officially under federal investigation over his tax affairs -- our sources telling this show that the crediblcriminal probe is likelyd to a money laundering scheme ano people telling us that hunter biden's laptop left at that delaware computer repair shop is a part of the investigation. my sources telling me what is on that laptop far more than has been reported will shock the

conscience of the nation. yesterday "the daily beast" reporting that the story somehow went largely unnoticed in the days before the election -- actually "the daily beast" is lying to you -- one article pointed out every media outlet in the country noticed the hunter biden scandal but in fact with a few notable exceptions, they all made the decision to cover it up on behalf of the biden campaign. i call it the candidate protection program with the media mob and big tech. a "washington post" columnist called it a biden scandal, that was laughably weak. "the new york times" quickly suggested without any evidence it could be part of a russian disinformation campaign. politico reported hunter bide biden -- russian disinformation according to dozens of former intel officials, they don't want

to waste their time in stories, fake news cnn, hilarious self-proclaimed facts first network a spike story. they stated "obviously we aren't going with "the new york post" story on hunter biden. let's get this straight, according to the mob, the media, big tech, the hunter biden scandal was a fake russian disinformation campaign that did not deserve to be covered and it got censored on big tech. now all of a sudden the election has passed, it's a legitimate story. they could even say hannity was right again, why were they ever give me credit? >> there is no evidence that support the claim about joe biden's son. >> hunter biden is under an ongoing investigation first taxes related to business dealings in china. >> there is no evidence that hunter biden did anything illegal.

>> reporting that hunter biden the president-elect's son is under investigation. >> there is no evidence he did anything wrong. >> he says it's for taxes. >> hunter biden there's no evidence of anything wrong. >> knew details of president-elect biden's son hunter. >> sean: the mob lied, candidate protection program, and sean hannity, the independent show we have here, we got it right -- make no mistake, few exceptions -- there are no journalists at cnn, nbc, msdnc, the media mob, anywhere -- they are all democratic operatives, all an extension of all things democratic socialist and biden press operations, the same partisan liars, the same people that spread the russian hoax almost four long years of lies and conspiracy -- the same people who covered up for hunter

biden when it mattered the most, telling the american people to sit down and shut up and accept the very flawed election resul results. as i've been saying, i don't care about their lectures considering they lied for four never ending years -- that's who they are. >> these are people who if donald trump said i'm going to trash you on twitter unless you go smack your mom in the face, they would go smack their moms in the face and try to explain it to them afterwards. >> 77% of republicans believe that there was widespread voter fraud -- seriously, it basically means 77% of republicans are disconnected from reality. >> maybe there are 50 million jerks in this country, but that is the sad truth and how do we manage that? joe biden is doing everything right and when you see that

sign, maybe there is a chunk of us that really suck as human beings. >> sean: 50 million of us suck as human beings. great job. irredeemable, deplorable, trump supporting walmart shoppers cling to god, guns, bibles, religion, not nice how they think about a spirit of before we get to our guests, joe biden asked about criminal investigations surrounding zero experience hunter, he said nothing other than he was proud of hunter. talk about pardons for the family -- i think joe is going to need it. if here with reaction is fox news contributor joe concha and former acting director of intelligence ric grenell. we'll start with you. you got to do a deep dive in your time as director of national intelligence and you got to see a lot of things that you know that the american people were lied to about. to your credit, you are as

transparent as you could possibly be, this was the latest example. >> i actually tend to think the american people see right through this. we are watching what's happening in washington, d.c., and we are laughing at these people because they are the ones that are disconnected from reality, they recycle the same stories and they think it matters -- a long time ago and i say thanks to donald trump, we were able to take the message straight to the people through social media. the irony is that twitter has helped kill all of these phonies in washington because now we get to go straight to the people, the people are responding, the people absently see that when cnn says this is breaking news, people say i saw this in october

and when all of a sudden you have 50 former intelligence officials in politico saying they have seen the evidence that this is russian collusion, let me be very clear -- these former officials manipulating intelligence because they never saw that intelligence -- they went out on a limb and we had people like leon panetta signing this letter. this is outrageous, the former intelligence officials are trying to put one over on the american people. >> sean: we've chronicled all this, you are on the show as we did very different coverage in the rest of the media mob. they get it wrong, they never retract, they never apologize, they never correct the record, they go onto the next conspiracy theory and the next life. >> it's a foreign concept because the people running these networks aren't interested in truth, they are interested in ratings, interested in clicks and interested in the result and the result in this case was joe biden as it stands now being

the next president of the united states say for the president's legal challenges that are ongoing. you mentioned joe biden had another event today and this is an ongoing theme where he ran off the stage -- i may be dating myself but bo jackson at the old kingdom went right down the field and out the tunnel without answering any questions about something -- a topic in terms of the hunter biden story that he once called the smear campaign, his enablers in the media called russian disinformation because everything comes from russia. rick brought it up before, those 50 former intelligence officers included for instance a james clapper who is now with cnn, the former head of dni or john brennan, the former cia director now with msnbc -- you see the jump from a political intelligence officers to mainstream media to give analysis on things that obviously they don't really have any knowledge about. the bottom line is this was unintentional, insidious one to

punch between the traditional media and the most pious of ways, dismissing this story and i'll give you one example of this -- leslie stahl, rubber that interview that she had with president trump on "60 minutes"? "i think this is one of the biggest scandals have ever seen and you don't cover it it's because it can't be verified. of course it can be verified, they found a laptop. it can't be verified, mr. president leslie stahl contends." the bottom line is, that is your one punch traditional media saying don't look at this story, nothing to see here and the social media delivering the knockout blow in terms of actually suppressing and censoring the story, locking "the new york post" out of the twitter account just for sharing the story. these are scary times right now and it has to change and the american public needs to wake up because that sort of one-two punch is orwellian. >> sean: they shut me down on facebook because i actually showed the videotape out of georgia.

we are going to get back to congressman swalwell in the next segment -- you said something the other night on this program and to the extent that you're comfortable to elaborate that there are a lot of governors and a lot of politicians who have issues with chinese spies, can you elaborate. >> i can tell you the defensive briefings continue. the eric swalwell situation is not the only one, this is a problem because the chinese have made it a problem and they have picked up the pace -- i'll say it again because it's worth repeating. eric swalwell has spent years downplaying the chinese crisis and pretending like the russia problem is a bigger problem than what it is. the entire media in washington has fallen for it, i think you have to start asking are they the ones pushing the chinese method on purpose?

>> sean: unbelievable. thank you. coming up, major development tonight for mark and patricia mccloskey, the st. louis couple charged for merely defending their home from protesters over the summer -- mark mccloskey joins us next, straight ahead.

>> sean: we have a major update in the case of mark and patricia mccloskey, the couple vilified for trying to defend themselves and their home from a group of protesters who broke through their neighborhoods front gate and threatened them.

far left st. louis circuit prosecutor kim gardner has now been disqualified from the case after a court ruled that she infringed on their right to a fair trial. she tried to fund raise off her role that case. does this mean your nightmare comes to an end come your wife's nightmare? >> not yet. the ruling of the court just disqualified the circuit attorney and the entire circuit attorney's office from my case. there's a separate judge ruling on my wife's case and he has not had that motion, we are going to file that motion on monday. all that means is we get a new prosecutor. what happens is now the case gets sent to the presiding judge to appoint some other prosecutor from another jurisdiction to continue the prosecution or at least have the option of doing so or i hope drop the charges. >> sean: they shouldn't have been brought in the first place, it's a legal weapon, we've gone

through all of that before and the governor has already said is going to pardon you both. why are we going through the hoops when we know what the outcome is eventually going to be? >> 250 murders in the city of st. louis this year, 2800 people shot and the office wants to spend our taxpayer dollars prosecuting us when the courts should just ruled that she gave the impression of doing so just to further her political ends and not for what we did but for her social status. as the court correctly pointed out, her prosecution of us was based on our race and economic status and as an opportunity to inflame the masses and enhance their election. >> sean: is there any legal remedy for you ? abuse of power? >> infringement on our constitutional rights, persecuting us for exercising our legitimate second amendment rights to defend ourselves.

in the city of st. louis, arresting people or charging people for defending themselves against crime in a city which is going to have the highest murder rate in its history and be the most dangerous city in the united states this year is completely upside down. that's the only way you can describe it -- our whole government, our whole country is so upside down now with the election, the voter fraud and criminals and chop zones -- everything we thought we could depend on the united states seems to be absently upside down -- i just don't know the answer for it. >> sean: i wish i had more answers tonight as well. we'll keep you up-to-date, thank you for being with us -- more "hannity" right after this. - hello, friends. michael youssef here. you know, the right says that christ was conservative.

>> sean: by this all the time we have for tonight, we hope you will always set your dvr, never miss an episode of "hannity" -- we remain independent, we are not the media mob, we will never be the media mob or ever be big tech either -- they like to

censor content -- we don't. have a great weekend, we will see you bet here on monday -- let not your heart be troubled, laura ingraham takes it over from here. ♪ >> laura: i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington the night -- the cdc's stunning projection about the true covid case count could mean the virus is a lot less lethal than previously thought. former white house advisor dr. scott atlas is here to break down the data and what our leaders should be learning from it, plus what does "time" magazine's joint honor for joe and connolly really tell us? raymond arroyo unpacks it in friday follies. but first, last night we focused on how the media buried and dismissed the evidence, mostly publicly known of the biden families ties to china
