and a happy new year. we'll be back soon. in the meantime, keep the ones you love close. hr. ♪ >> sean: welcome to the special edition of "hannity." merry christmas to you and your family. "tonight for the hour we'll bring you some of the biggestt moments, the most important monologues from the past few months. first up, my message to america on institutional correction.mo the media mob's blatant double standard. take a look. m we start with an important message about the powerful institutions that are and have been actively hurting the country we love. the united states. we have long reported over the past two decades the democratic party, weak establishment republicans, deep state bureaucrats, never knew they had this much power and were this corrupt but they are. big tech, the media mob. always knew about bias. never at this level. m they have all been waging now. what is a malignant campaign

against the truth and fairness. now it's been five years frankly of pretty much pure hell they have been willing to put the country through. they never accepted the results of the 2016 election. never have. the groups politicalivrs pre po, the only thing that matters. this is especially true among the members of the media and the mob as i call them. self-proclaimed journalists and maybe they believe their own lies at this point. they lie to our faces. they have for years.d they do it every day. but somehow they convince themselves they are holier than thou, that theyey are fair, objective, nonpartisan and arbitraries -- arbiters of never ending truth. they may have convinced each other with the blue check marks.ob that i tweet and retweet each other. now they want to lec sure us, 75 million about the 2020 election. they want you, they want everybody to ignore any and all claims of fraud and abuse. thaw want to forget we have proven the case.ac state laws were not followed. they were broken in many

cases. unequal treatment, payty san observers, they weren't allowed to observe.t the thousands of the ballots that turned up around the country. yep, they found some as late as last week. by the way, weeks after the election.he anyone whohe doesn't immediately bow before their election decrees, well, you will face the wrath of the media mob. take a look. >> what is it that we saw this weekend in washington? what was it? >> they weren't wearing brown and black uniforms like they would have in italy or in germany in the 1920s. or the 1930s. but they are the same people. >> these are people who if trump said i'm going to trash you on twitter unless you go a smack your mom in the face, they would go smack their moms in the p face. and try to explain it to them afterwards.

>> maybe there are 50 million jerks in this country. maybe that is the sad truth. how do we manage that? joe biden is doing everything right. when you see that sign and you see, maybe there is a chunk of us that really suck as human beings. >> sean: the jerks that suck. i just thought we were smelly walmart shoppers and irredeemable deplorables. there are 50 million of us. probably more. following their lead, joe biden himself now blasting the president. his supporters for refusing toto bow down. he called the president's election integrity efforts "simply unconscionable." i have a question for joe biden. p it's not something the media did in the campaign. he was allowed to hide in the basement and they beat up trump for him. so joe, or maybe we should refer to you as "mr. logan act," what was the january 5 meeting in the oval office on 2017 all about?

why did you and obama and others scheme to withhold? should we withhold certain information from the incoming administration? why billion billions of taxpayers dollars to get ukrainian prosecutor fire. why would you say you're not getting the billion, call barack. joe, are you the big guy? the one that tony bobulinski was talking about? and joe, are you still convinced there is no credible evidence that your family made a fortune off of your position as vice president? if the last name was "trump" i have funny feeling your best friends in the media would be all over that story. but ultimately joe and his allies, basically want every other american ignore fact that laws are broken andnd ignore people signed affidavit under the threat of jail and that they want to tell the story but they won't cover it. just shut up and move on because they say so. they got the results they wanted. this means nothing to the media, means nothing to the

democrats or the activist judges. they don't care about the truth, facts or the law. they only care about one thing. power and politics. raw power. winning at all costs. winning three plus years. these are the same people hyperventilating over russia, russia, russia, collusion, collusion, collusion, hoke, hoax, hoax. the one that never happened. hiding under the right of journalism breathlessly reporting speculation and russian disinformation with no basis in the reality. maybe it's worth taking a slight little trip down memory lane to remind them. take a look. >> sort of the dossier of alleged dirt that the russians allegedly say, they allegedly have on donald trump. alleged dirt, they allegedly use, to allegedly cultivate him as basically a russian asset. you get the person's phone records. here they see the calls to the blocked number.

now there seems to be good evidence that was probably president trump. >> michael cohen claims that then candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june 2016 meeting in trump tower. >> we begin with a new report that paul manafort, the former campaign chairman, paid secret visits, multiple ones to julian assange to the ecuadorian embassy in london according to "the guardian." >> sean: we had four investigations. all four exonerated this president for the trump russia collusion.o there was no trump russia collusion. that is a fact. did anyone in the media mob correct the record or apologize? did any of them -- i could run an hour worth of the tape. did they retract the year of fake and inaccurate reporting? they did not. did twitter, facebook, did they ever censure their unproven, unverified russian information and the dirty dossier? nope.

i don't remember any editing going on. the witch hunt was never about getting to the truth. it was to bludgeon donald trump, political ploy. designed to remove the president from office, render him ill legitimate in the eyes of the public. so it comes no big shock when the russia hoax was disproved, america's institutions, well they reunited, reorganized and came one a new witch hunt. that was the ukrainian impeachment hoax. then it was born. 2019.er you have one fake hearsay whistleblower, one, only one, come -- only one witness. come forward anonymously accusing president trump of a quid pro quo. the media, the democrats, demanded that the courage and the bravery of all whistleblower patriots, we need to respect them. except, of course, the people that sign the affidavit, hundreds of them. they are not respected. they are not called patriots and they are not called courageous by this mob. take a look. >> this whistleblower who is a

patriot. >> applaud them for the patriotism. in spite of the fact that the president of the united states who is also the commander-in-chief attempted to smear them and threaten them, they still have had the courage, i believe based on the love of country, to come forward and let the american people know what really happened. >> i'd just like to say to the whistleblowers and the potential whistleblowers you are the patriots. you are the ones who. care about this country. >> you are not going to disparage the whistleblower. this person deemed credible and a patriot by the director of the national intelligence and the inspector general.l.he w >> i want to thank the whistleblower for their courage. >> sean: okay. let's thank all the eyewitness witness blower on the election. thank them all. here we are months later, the great champions of the courageous patriotic whistleblowers are nowhere to be found. they didn't want to report on the eyewitnesses. multiple officials raised concerns over the biden foreign family syndicate

corruption business. all the heartfelt concerns about the quid pro quo suddenly came to an end. by the way, after joe biden caught on tape, bragging, leveraging, billion of your tax dollars to yeah, get a fire -- ukrainian prosecutor fired. he did it. no credible person seeing anything wrong with that whatsoever. every vice president offers $1 billion to fire ukrainian prosecutor. by the way, this very same prosecutor that was investigating. that guy. zero experience hunter. and shady foreign business corruption practices with the syndicate. and the ukrainian oil and gas giant burisma. e the great irony, they applied the same standards to biden, if he is sworn in on january 20, they would lead the charge, they would lead the charge to impeach. if they applied their own standards. did that ever happen? of coursehe not. they just repeated joe's lie. no credible evidence ever. it's just not true.

or any wrongdoing whatsoever. remember sandy burgleer? he goes in the national archives and he shoves all the documents down his pants. like in that area. then his backside. then his socks. he is just sloppy. sloppy. he took the -- put them in his pants. sloppy. p you know, you do have to give the left credit. i'm going to give them credit. when they lie, which is often, a lot, they have incredulous ltenacious audacity. i will give them that. they lie with a passion. the rampant hypocrisy doesn't end there. prior to election. whistleblower, remember tony bobulinski. our own tucker carlson, a great interview with him, came forward. damning evidence of the t international pay for play schemes. his claims validated by his documents and e-mails and by the extensive report by senator chuck grassley of iowa and senator johnson of wisconsin. they found millions of dollars in the payouts to the zero

experience hunter. let's see what sca -- ukrainian and russian oligarch.eyon they found it all. and money transferreds and everything. but media ignored that. big tech, they censured that. "new york post" mocked for daring to report the facts. they havesi been vindicated. now that the election is over, media feels comfortable. got him elected. let him hide in the basement and talk about it again. they denied it before the election. that is not a service to we, the american people, the voters. take a look. >> there iss no evidence to support the claims about joe biden's son. >> hunter biden is under ongoing investigation for his taxes related to his business dealings in china. >> there is no evidence that hunter biden did anything illegal. >> cnn and others reporting that hunter biden the president-elect son is under investigation.e

>> hunter biden, no evidence he has done anything wrong. >> justice department investigating biden. he says for taxes. >> while we know that hunter biden, there is no evidence of any wrongdoing with him. >> new details on the federal investigation of the president-elect biden's son hunter. >> this is just the tip of the iceberg of really what is an information crisis in the country. real journalists would have investigated the story before the election reported the facts and let the chips fall where they will. they didn't happen. most in the media mob didn't lift a finger.y fake news cnn punted. as per instructions from the fearless leader. prior to the election, network full-time fox news psycho stalker hall monitor, humpty, humpty dumpty called the hunter biden story a manufactured scandal. i'm sure he will apologize. humpty is more dishonest than i thought.

after pushing the hoax for year, humpty's network want to dictate how you must conform or the democracy is going to perish. go along with the russian collusion lies for years. the biden madia campaign protection program -- media protection program they let joe biden go in a campaign hiding in his basement not answering questions. if not sad, it's funny. take a look. >> the lead story was hunter biden. >> joe biden's son. >> the lead means they think the most important story was hunter biden.>> yes, the investigation is important.t. we have been chasing it. so is proportionality. or journalists call old fashioned news judgment. now the new information about the federal investigation is totally different. evidently it's been going on for years.no dishonest folks on fox are conflating the two things and pretending that the media is covering for biden. to be honest this is how it will be for the next four years. i guarantee it.

>> sean: i won't touch it. i'll be a good host tonight. but i'm thinking not good. unfortunately for humpty we will not be taking advice or lectures from the network that lie for over three years on russia, that ignorednk the quid and the quo and the pro with joe and no experience hunter was wrong on all of it and kavanaugh and nicholas sandman. wrong on the vaccine. it's a miracle. never going to happen. sadly, there is nothing the mob won't politicize. these areeon dangerous times for the country. that is not a joke. take aon look. >> we'll have a vaccine by the end of this year. is that possible in your view? >> oh, brian, w potus in wonderland here. it's preposterous to make the statement. >> that is an ambitious timeline. >> many health experts are not sure it's achievable.

>> coronavirus vaccine, trump says it can come out this year, happy talk he is doing about a vaccine. experts say he would need a miracle to be right. >> you cannot talk yourself in a vaccine. the fastest a vaccine ever produced is five years.eeou >> they didn't listen to fauci on that. after using the vaccine as a political weapon against trump and refusing to air the covid-19 briefings until the question and the answer section came. some want journalists in the front of the line for the vaccine. journalism now, 13 journalism associations declaring journalists are essential workers that deserve to be among the first to get the covid, the trump covid-19 vaccine. does that seem right to you? are they really performing a service or political hacks pushing a narrative? don't you think doctors, nurses, e.m.t., firemen, hospital employees, those with preexisting conditions, thees most vulnerable, those who stock shelves and deliverit

their food? i think they should get it before me. up next, the past year, lawrence jones crisscrossing the country reporting on some of the biggest stories and we have the highlights. take a look. h >> so with joe biden res reluctance to leave the basement bunker with the full approval of the campaign we thought we would make it easy for him. joe, you want to answer a couple of questions? you want to give a pitch to voters around the country? as we speak, "hannity" election 2020 correspondent lawrence jones is outside of your house right now. the biden compound. i don't think he has been invited in the basement bunker but he joins us with more. see a little activity going on. anybody bringing in vanilla and chocolate shakes, l.j.? >> well, no movement just yet, sean. we made it easy for him tonight. we'll be standing out here all night. the vice president can come up to the podium at any h moment. >> sean: lawrence, so you are there. i mean i see a lot of cars. last night they turned the light off a little t bit.

the basement bunker is in the back of the compound. has there been activity? anybody there anybody saying hey, l.j., what is going on? good to see you? anything like that at all? >> it's actually funny because the car that is secretet service. there are a lot of cars driving by. t some of them are waving saying see you onre "hannity." we love you. we love what you do. a lot of the fox news supporters here. a lot of voters that want to know where the former vice president is.oxpp >> sean: we the american people, we do deserve better. democratic party, 99%. media mob. 99%. social media giants, 99%. rhino establishment, 99%. they have all united to take down president trump. they don't only hate him by the way. they hate we the smelly walmart shoppers that voted to support him. these are powerful forces. institutional forces aligned against the president. earlier today, well, "hannity" election correspondent lawrence jones asked trump

supporters at the president's rally in florida about this latest example of the just blatantde corrupt media bias. take a look. >> did you get the chance to see the nbc event last night, the town hall? >> yes, i did. >> how did you think the president did? >> for the most part, i think he did very well. muchch better than the debate. >> was he treated fairly? >> no. >> nbc did a town hall with the president yesterday.ed >> i saw it. >> how did the president do? >> he held his cool really well.h i thought the host savannah was extremely rude. >> did he communicate his message? >> he tried to but she kept cutting hime off. every time he started talking she would cut him off. she didn't show any respect for the president of the united states at all. >> do you believe the president got a fair shake at the town hall? >> no, i don't. i think the president got a fair shake in anything he has done.t >> do you think he is treated fairly? >> absolutely not. >> the main stream media, i

think he has done a good job exposing the deep state. how corrupt washington is. also, the main stream media. phenomenally against him. >> sean: l.j., lawrence enjoy, sir. you get to have some fun. different than what you reported last night on the show. i saw the crowd. i saw overflow crowd. i saw lawrence enjoy fans. surrounding l.j.wd c'mon. pretty cool. >> oh, good evening, sean. it looks like the president has a new nickname for the former vice president. "joe hiding ♪ to refer to the vice president doesn't get out of the delaware basement much. but it's different for the trump supporters today. a lot of them expressed support of the president packing the lines. others staying in the cars. when it was very clear they weren't going to get inside of the hangar, they stayed in the cars. they said they are supporting the president because he is fighting for them. watch what they had to say. >> this is your first trump rally?

>> yeah. >> why are you supporting the president?st >> he tells it like it is. >> what is it about the president that has all the people fired up? >> he is real. >> he does what he says. >> i think it's because he tells the truth, mainly. if you ask me, i think we have been surrounded by a bunch of people that aren't telling us the truth.t'he >> sean: lawrence jones, l.j., you were outut with the people all day at walter reed. what was going on? >> good evening, sean. the president is resting back in the white house. but before the president headed back to the white house, his supporters packed outside of walter reed to show their support. some of them even sleeping in the sleeping bags every night to show support for the president. i asked them why. they say that the president has always had their back and it was now time for them to show the president they have his back. take a look. >> why do you think it's important to come out and support the president? >> he is the commander-in-chief of the country and i feel he does a great job. o

i think it's important to support him, especially in his time of need. >> he loves our country. genuinely. every person in the u.n. co. -- country. he loves. we want to show him our love. >> he is a man of the people. he came out yesterday. he came out for us. nobody else. >> what do you think of the political from the media that he has come to see his supporters. >> i'm not surprised about it. >> the president is going home. what do you think? >> fantastic. >> it mean he is is tough as nails and his team of doctors said it's okay, you can go. you can go home and do the work of the country. the work of the people. you got it. we've got you from here. you go now. >> sean: our own lawrence jones, our 2020 correspondent investigative reporter on the ground.wn l.j., look. he has his motorcycle jacket on. really?

really? [laughter] were you driving around the l.j. bike, l.j. harley or what? >> it's chilly. it'she chilly today, sean. >> sean: i admire your job. i want to switch roles. what is going on in iowa. >> good evening, sean. yeah, sean, earlier today, this is day three as you know of the confirmation hearings for judge amy coney barrett. the democrats gave her all they could, not letting up. but she stood there and she retook every hit. punching back with no notes. i talked with the voters today. trump supporters. she can take it. she doesn't need help. she will be confirmed. watch. amy coney barrett going through a tough hearing. do you think she has been treated fairly?? >> no. however, she is holding her own and doing a great job. we're real proud of her. >> she is so amazing. it's like they can't, they

keep trying to trip her up and they just can't. i've never seen anybody like it. >> are you impressed with her? >> i am. she is making all the democrats look really stupid. it just makes me so happy.ve >> you seem happy. >> yeah, i am. >> i think she has an intellect like no other. probably one of the smartest people that is ever going come in the supreme court.h, i don't think she is fazed by the questions she was asked. >> what do you think happens at the end of the day? do you think she is confirmed? >> absolutely. absolutely. you know what? i think if some of the democratic senators don't vote for her, then they are, then they don't need to be re-elected. how can they look at her andot think she is not qualified? >> sean: coming up my interview with the "dirty jobs" host the-e great mike rowe. a we talk about america's resiliency in the covid-19 crisis as the special edition of "hannity" continues.e ♪

♪ live from america's news headquarters i'm ashley strohmier. from coast-to-coast, americans are gathering with loved ones on this christmas day despite dire warnings from health officials. most holiday travelers are traveling by car but millions more are also flying to their destination ignoring pleased by the cdc to stay home as we continued to see a deadly surge in the coronavirus crisis. health officials tell hospitals are maxed out in some cities and they predict they will only get worse after the holiday. a storm that began with snow, strong winds, cold in the midwest is now tormenting folks in the mid-east, drenching the region with heavy rain and

powerful winds into christmas morning. be safe out there, i'm ashley strohmeyer and now back to a book on special. ♪ >> sean: welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." this year amid covid-19 restrictions and the lockdowns, it is important more than ever to appreciate american resiliency, hard work.. i did speak with the "dirty jobs" host our friend mike rowe about this and more. take a look. >> i watched the show. i love "deadliest catch" and i know you are voiceover. i wish ijo had your pipes. the injury, the risk, the 40-foot waves that the fishermen and the crabbers, you know, it's crazy. the roughest conditions. i am amazed at how great americans are. r i think in the coronavirus, if we ever stop, if the manufacturers stopped manufacturing and the packers stopped packers and farmers stopped farmers and truckers stop trucking, new york where

i am would have died. >> the party is over. that was the premise of "dirty jobs" from the start to shine a light on people who are keeping the lights on. usually out of sight and out of mind. "deadliest catch" was another page from the same play book. early on in 2002, 2003, we began to realize that reality tv could be used, you know, to do something a little more laudable than a lot of what you see today. so these are very modest shows on the one hand. but they are alsoty extraordinarily honest. what you said before is probably the most interesting four-letter word in the aocountry right now. i refer, of course, to "risk." risk is always with us. in the age of coronavirus, we suddenly are realizing that we have to balance our willingness to assume risk with the business of living. and with the business of being safe, but, right, not at any cost.

so the country is having a huge conversation around the reality of risk. in to all of that, shows like the "deadliest catch" and "dirty jobs" that profile people used to assuming unusual levels of risk, it's instructive. it's always fun when the headlines catch up to the themes in a show. i have been lucky in that way. that has been happening to me for the last 20 years. >> sean: my audience will get mad because i repeat myself. i washed dishes. i was in a restaurant. washed dishes by hand at 12 years old. cook at 13. i was a bus boy, waiter and a bartender. almost a decade of my life. i went to construction for a decade. i painted houses. i hung wallpaper and i did framing and roofing. i fell off well, two and a half stories off a roof.

busted and dislocated my arm. didn't have any health insurance but got a job two weekss later. the best thing that ever happened to me.av it keeps me grounded because this business of tv, i have to be honest. it's not as hard as those jobs that i did.de nobody really said, "hey, great job." they said, "here is your check. get out of here." >> if you really look at it like a ladder and you believe in a semblance of a chronology. the most important wrungs on the ladder are the ones closest to the ground. they are the ones that allow you to climb. if you remove those rungs and if you remove the jobs and take somehow if you arbitrage that experience out of people's lives, then they would never wind up where they ultimately get. so, look, we have talked about this before. i have a foundation called microworks. every year, we try and help people who want toef learn a

skill that is in demand. this month we are giving away $1 million.rn we do it every year. it's coincidingan with the road trip on "dirty jobs" but to your point, it's not for four-year degrees. it's not for the typical jobs that we view as aspirational. it's for plumbers and steam fitters, a and pipefitters and welders and mechanics. heating and air conditioning specialists and electricians. if anybody in your audience is interested in hitting the reset button to learn a skill that is truly in demand, the single best thing i have done is the foundation that evolved out of "dirty jobs." that is why i want to reboot the franchise. i agree with you. i think our country needs to seee examples. >> sean: listen, you want to know what makes america great? those people. >> tell me. >> sean: the people. the people that work hard every day. they provide the goods and the services that we want, need

and desirere that give us the standard of living that the envy of the world where everybody wants to come here. and a lotes of these jobs are hard. they don't get the thanks enough. they all deserve it. i can tell you like the guys in "deadliest catch," please tell allll the guys, all the captains and the crews, i'm their biggest fan.n. i watch it on a loop i watch it so much. >> s i'll tell them. i see them all the time. i got to tell you, i saw an interview on your show with a guy named mr. anderson. extraordinary interview. he said, i wrote it down. he said, "i don't want to sayew things just for saying it." it was a remarkable interview. that struck me. i think so many people in our country today are saying things just to hear the soundth of their voice. and just to win an argument or just to club somebody over the head with the new piece of data. i'm doing the best i can to keep my mouth shut by and

large. but shine the light on the people we feature on our programs because they are the most persuasive. the best case i can see for the undeniable truth you can still prosper learning a skill and mastering a trade. we forgotten that in this country. we forgotten the fact that p risk is not always the enemy. risk is part of the reason we are compensated. part of the reason we're alive. the shows you love, which you have been kind enough to mention and the shows i'm involved with, they celebrate that. that is very much for sale inso 2020. >> sean: what if they didn't fish? what if the medical manufacturers shut down when we needed them? what if the farmers didn't farm, packers didn't pack and truckers didn't truck? what would happen to all ofea us? >> frank capera asked the same question more pradly in "it's a wonderful life." he said regarding george bailey, "what would happen if this one man had never been born, had he never walked the

earth?" it shows us how we are all connected. never mind essential versus nonessential, fisherman versus the farmers or steelworkers versus pipefitters versus teachers versus accountants. it's a mosaic. it's a quilt. if you take certain parts out you get depressing part of "it's a wonderful life" and then people like me start to show up and sell masks saying, "safety third" so raise money to do something. >> sean: hold that up again so people can see. i'll donate -- get me one thing. i want a poster of the "deadliest catch" by some of the fishermen.an

>> hang on. don't move. get it to you right now. if the price is right -- sean, if the price is right. >> i got to go in five second. >> it's a called a tease. we'll negotiate later. maybe on your radio show. >> whatever it is, i'll say yes to it.. thanks, mike! coming up, my interview with actress kirsti alley after she faced backlash from the left for supporting donald trump. straight ahead. ♪ ell 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.

that they so desperately pray for to survive. ♪ >> sean: actress kirsti alley faced backlash from the left after announcing on twitter her support for president trump. i spoke to her about this and so much more. first of all, you are brave to come on this show. i give you a lot of credit. you will be hit hard. prepare yourself.

welcome to my world. the water is warm. you should rot in hell. you don't have a brain. they have attacked our deeply held and personal religious beliefs.el why? why do you think it's that vicious? >> you know they always attack the same three things. i'm a fat, irrelevant scientologist.t. so, you know, this has been going on for 40 years. so i'm sort of prepared. that really is all they have to offer. so i honestly don't take it too personally because i feel that people are angry and they have the right to say what they want to say and i have the right to block them if i don't like the way they speak. why did it happen?th it's funny, i have been talking about trump now for several months. the other night i put out a tweet that simply said that i voted for him the first time and this time because he's not a politician.

i got all this flood, thousands and thousands going do you know the definition of politician? do you know what a politician is? i do. i know they know what i meant. he is not a career politician. we have a history in this country of people, not as much currently but of people of different occupations like farmers and tailors and oil men and business men and generals coming in and servicing our country as the president of the united states. and everyone many of them when they left they went back to their other job.ou so, i like that trump has a lot of energy. i like that he -- he has more energy than any human being than i have ever seen. i think the big thing i mentioned in that tweet was that i'm really tired of career politicians. i'm tired of paying people to do nothing and take way too long toca do it. and i feel like they have -- this is what i would do to solve this. sean, they have, they should have a base salary.

"you ain't black if you're not voting for me."

the constant gaffes that have actual racist overtones. i'm like no, maybe you get one where you accidentally said something inappropriate. >> sean: it's not one. >> it's pretty constant. my biggest deal with -- i mean it is constant, isn't it? those are racial slurs. >> sean: let me just say. you have a lot of courage. i admire you for doing it. i can accept liberal views. they ought to be able to accept our views. but they can't. thank you. best of luck. up next. my interview with one of the greatest college football coaches of all time. lou holtz straight ahead. ♪ trying to keep things running
