longitudinally. great to see you. merry christmas to you and happy new year. we will be back soon, the ones you love first. >> sean: welcome to the special edition of "hannity." merry christmas to you and your family. >> merry christmas to you and your family. we bring you the most important monologues from the past few months. my message to america on institutional corruption, the media mob's blatant double standard. an important message about the powerful institutions that are and have been hurting the country we love, we long reported over the past two decades the democratic party weaker establishment republicans, bureaucrats who never knew they had this much power.

the media mob new about bias had been waging a malignant campaign against truth and fairness. they have been willing to put the country through because they never accepted the results of the 2016 election, never have, these groups, political power is the only thing that matters, especially from members of the media, the mob as i call them, sanctimonious self-proclaimed journalists. maybe they believe their own lies at this point, they lie to our faces, they do it every single day but somehow they convinced themselves they are holier than thou, fair, objective, nonpartisan, arbiters of all things that represent truth. this is one big seemingly never-ending charade. they convinced themselves, watch them on twitter, the tweet each other. now they want to lecture all of

us about the 2020 election. they once you come want everybody to ignore any and all claims of fraud and abuse, forget we have proven the case, state laws were not followed. they were broken, unable treatment, present observers were not allowed to observe, thousands of ballots that turned up all around the country, they found some as late as last weekend weeks after the election. anyone who doesn't immediately bow before their election decrees you will face the wrath of the media mob. >> what is that we saw this weekend in washington, what was it? they weren't wearing brown and black uniforms like italy or germany in the 1920s or 30s, but they are the same people. tucker: people who if donald trump set i will trash you on

twitter, smack your mom your face they will smack their moms in the face and try to explain to them afterwards. >> may be that is the sad truth. joe biden is doing everything right. when you see that sign, a chunk of us really suck as human beings. >> i just thought we were deplorables, 50 million of us, a little more. joe biden lasting the president and his supporters for refusing to bow down, calling election integrity efforts simply unconscionable. i have a question for joe biden, not something the media did during the campaign. he was allowed to hide in his basement, they beat up donald trump every day for him. maybe we should refer to as mister logan act, what was that january 5th meeting in the oval

office in 2017 about? why did you and obama and others schemes withhold certain information from the incoming administration? why did you leverage 8 billion taxpayer dollars to get a ukrainian prosecutor fired? why would any vice president say 6 hours, not getting the billion. why would you do that? is show, are you the big guy, the one tony bubbalynnski is talking about, you convinced there's no credible evidence your family made a fortune off of your position as vice president? if your last name was trump i think your best friends in the media would probably be all over the story, they want every american to ignore the fact that laws are broken or people signed affidavits under threat of jail.

they won't even cover it. they got the results they want. this means nothing to the media or the democrats or activists judges. they only care about power and politics, winning at all costs and keeping in mind three years, this is the interesting part, these are the same people hyperventilating over russia russia is a collusion collusion collusion hoax hoax hoax, the one that never happened, they hide under the values of journalism we declared dead in 2007, with russian disinformation with no basis in reality, a slight trip down memory lane to remind them. >> a dossier of alleged dirt the russians allegedly say they allegedly have on donald trump. alleged dirt they allegedly used

to allegedly cultivate him as a russian asset. >> call to the blocked number and there seems to be evidence that was probably donald trump. >> michael:claims donald trump knew in advance about the meeting and trump tower. >> in a report that paul manafort paid secret visits to julian assange at the ecuadorian embassy in london according to the guardian. tucker: four investigations exonerated this president for trump russia collusion. there was no trump russia collusion. did anyone in the media mob correct the record or apologize? did any of these people, i could run an hour worth of tape, they retract years of fake and inaccurate reporting, did

twitter, facebook or anyone sensor their unproven unverified russian disinformation? i don't remember any editing going on. the witchhunt was never about getting to the truth. it was to bludgeon donald trump. a political ploy designed to remove the president from office, render him illegitimate in the eyes of the public. it comes as no big shock that when the russia hoax was officially disproved america's institutions reorganized and came up with a new witchhunt, the ukrainian impeachment hoax, then 2019, one fake hearsay whistleblower, only one witness come forward anonymously accusing donald trump of a quid pro quo. the media democrats demanded the courage and bravery of all whistleblower patriots, we need to respect them except the

people who signed the affidavits, hundreds and hundreds of them, are not called courageous by this mob. take a look. >> this whistleblower who is a patriot. >> in spite of the fact the president of the united states is also the commander-in-chief attempted to smear them and threatened them they had the courage, love of country to come forward and let the american people know what happened. >> i would like to say to these whistleblowers and potential whistleblowers you are the patriots, you're the ones who care about this country. >> we will not disparage this was a blower. this was deemed credible and a patriot by your director of national intelligence of the inspector general. >> i think the whistleblower for their courage. tucker: what thank the eyewitness whistleblowers in the election because here we are months later, great champions of the courageous patriotic

whistleblowers are nowhere to be found, didn't want to report on the eyewitnesses was multiple officials raised concerns over the biden family syndicate corruption business, all the heartfelt concerns about quid pro quo came to a end and after joe biden caught on tape bragging, leveraging your tax dollars to get a ukrainian prosecutor fired, no credible person sees anything wrong with this, every president offers $1 billion to fire ukrainian prosecutor and the same prosecutor was investigating, 0 experience hunter and a shady foreign business corruption practice with the syndicate and ukrainian oil and gas giant burisma and the great irony is they applied the same standards to biden, sworn in on january 20th, they will lead the charge, they would lead the charge to impeach if they apply their own standards.

they just repeated no credible evidence, just not true. wrongdoing whatsoever, sloppy, sort of like sandy burglar, remember him, goes into the national archives, shoves documents in his pants in that area and his backside and his socks, he is just sloppy, sloppy. you have to give the left credit and i will give him credit. when they lie which is pretty often a lot, they have incredulous tenacious audacity. i will give them that. they lie with a passion, rampant hypocrisy doesn't end there. the election, tony bubbalynnski came forward with damning evidence about the international paper play schemes, invalidated by his own documents, his own

emails and extensive report from senator chuck grassley of iowa and ron johnson of wisconsin, found millions of dollars in payouts 20 experience hunter, russian oligarch, ukrainian oligarch, burisma, national, bank of china, they found it all including money being transferred, despite a mountain of evidence the media ignored that story. big tech censored that story. remember the new york post, fifth-largest paper in the country marked for daring to report the facts. they have been vindicated. now that the election is over, got him elected, let him hide in the basement and won't talk about it again. that is not a service to we the american people the voters, take a look. >> no evidence to support the claims. >> hunter biden is under ongoing investigation for taxes related to business dealings in china.

>> no evidence hunter biden did anything illegal. >> hunter biden is under investigation. >> no evidence he's done anything wrong. >> the justice department investigating hunter biden. >> we know hunter biden, no evidence of any wrongdoing. >> new details on the federal investigation of president-elect biden's son hunter. tucker: this is the top of the iceberg of an information crisis in the country. a real journalist would have investigated the story before the election, reported the fact and let the chips fall where they will, they didn't happen. most of the media mob didn't lift a finger, cnn pundit as per instructions from their fearless leader. the full-time fox news cycle stocker, humpty dumpty called the hunter biden story a manufactured scandal. i am sure he will be apologizing given the mountain of evidence to the contrary, humpty is either dumber or more dishonest

than i thought. i will pick number 2. pushing the russia hoax for your, humpty's network want to dictate how you must conform how our democracy is going to perish and go along with their russian collusion lies for years. the biden media campaign protection program let joe biden going entire campaign hiding in his basement not answering questions. it is not sad. it is kind of funny. >> the lead story was hunter biden, joe biden's son. they think the most important story was hunter biden. the investigation is important but so is proportionality. what journalists call old-fashioned news judgment. the new information about a federal investigation is different. it has been going on for years. they are conflating the two

things, the media is covering for biden. this is how it is going to be for the next four years i guarantee it. sean: i'm not going to touch that but i'm thinking not good. unfortunately for humpty we will not be taking advice or lectures from the network applied for 3 years on russia that ignored the quid pro quo with 0 experience hunter, was wrong on all of it, wrong on brett kavanaugh, how much did they pay, wrong on the vaccine, miracle, never going to happen, nothing this mob won't politicized. dangerous times for this country, not a joke. >> vaccine by the end of this year. is that possible in your view? >> another day of potus in wonderland. it is preposterous to make that statement. >> that is an ambitious timeline and many health experts are not

sure. >> coronavirus vaccine could come this year, happy talk he's doing about a vaccine. >> you cannot talk yourself into a vaccine. the vaccine has never been produced start to finish in 5 years. >> it was safe to vote in person after using the vaccine as a political weapon against trump, refusing to air his covid-19 briefings, the question and answer section came. the media organizations want journalists to be in the front of the line, look at this, 13 journalism associations declaring journalists ascending workers that deserve to be among the first to get the trump covid-19 vaccine. does that seem right to you? are they performing a service or just political acts pushing a narrative. don't you think doctors, nurses,

emts, firemen, hospital employees, those with preexisting conditions, the most vulnerable, those who stock ourselves, deliver our food, i think they should get it before me. this past year lawrence jones crisscrosses the country reporting on the biggest stories, take a look. with joe biden's reluctance to leave his basement bunker with full approval of his campaign we thought we would make it easy for him. you want to answer a couple questions? you want to give opinions to voters around the country? as we speak, lawrence jones is outside your house right now, the biden compound, joins us with more. anyone bringing vanilla and chocolate shakes? >> no movement just yet, the vice president could come to the podium any moment.

tucker: i see a lot of cars, they turned the light off a little bit. the basement bunker is in the back of the compound. has there been a lot of activity? anyone say what is going on? anyone like that at all? >> reporter: there have been a lot of cars driving by, saying we love what you do. a lot of fox news supporters out here and a lot of voters want to know where the former vice president is. sean: democratic party 99% the media mob 99%, social media giant 99%. rhino establishment 99%. all united states down donald trump. they not only hate him, they hate we the smelly walmart shoppers that voted to support him.

powerful forces, institutional forces aligned against the president. hannity election correspondent lawrence jones asked trump supporters in florida about the latest example of planes corrupt media bias. >> did you see the townhall? how do you think the president did? >> for the most part he did very well, better than the debate. >> reporter: was he treated fairly? nbc did townhall with the president yesterday. how did the president do? >> he held his cool really well. our hearts -- i thought the host was rude. >> he tried but she kept cutting him off. every time he started talking she cut him off. she didn't show any respect for the president of the united states at all. >> the president got a fair shake at that townhall? >> i don't think he got a fair shake in anything he has done.

>> absolutely not. it is crazy. mainstream media -- he's done a good job opposing the deep state and the mainstream media against him. sean: you get to have some fun a little different than you reported last time you were on the show. i saw the crowd, lawrence jones surrounding lj, pretty cool. >> looks like the president has a new nickname for the former vice president, joe hiding. this is referring to the fact the former vice president doesn't get out of his delaware basement that much but it was a little different for the trump supporters, a lot of them expressed support for the president, staying in their cars and very clear they were not going to get us out of that

hanger, they stayed in the car. they are supporting for president because he is fighting for them. watch what they have to say. >> why are you supporting the president? >> he tells it like it is. >> what is it about the president? >> he is real. >> because he tells the truth mainly. if you ask me we have been surrounded by a bunch of people who aren't telling us the truth. >> reporter: you are out with the people all day at walter reed. what is going on? >> the president resting back in the white house but before the president headed back to the white house his supporters packed outside walter reed to show their support, some flu in sleeping bags every night to show their support for the president. i asked why, the president always had their back and time for him to show the president they have his back, take a look.

>> reporter: why is it important to support the president? >> he is the commander-in-chief of this country and does a great job and it is important to support him especially in his time of need. >> every single person in our country, he cares about, he loves. we want to be here to show him our love. >> he is a man of the people. when he came out yesterday he came out for us. >> reporter: what do you think about criticism from the media about the president coming to see his supporters. >> that is ridiculous but that is what they always do. >> the president going on. >> tough as nails. his team of doctors said it is okay, you can go and do the work of this country, the work of the people. we got you from here. >> lawrence jones, 2020 correspondent, investigative

reporter on the ground. lj has his motorcycle jacket on. were you driving around or what? >> a little chilly out here today. sean: i want to switch roles. what is going on in iowa? >> reporter: earlier today this was day 3 of confirmation hearings, judge amy barrett, democrats not letting up but she took everything, punching back with no notes. i talked with voters, trump supporters, she can take it and doesn't need help and she would ultimately be confirmed. watch. she wants to be on the supreme court's but do you think she's been treated fairly? >> know but she is holding her own and is doing a great job.

we are proud of her. she is so amazing. they keep trying to trip her up and just can't. i've never seen anybody like it. >> are you impressed with her? >> i am, the democrats look really stupid. makes me so happy. >> she has an intellect like no other, probably one of the smartest people that will come into the supreme court. i don't think she is baited by any questions she was asked. >> reporter: that she get confirmed? >> absolutely and if the democratic senators don't vote for her they don't need to be reelected. how can they look at her and think she is not qualified? sean: mike roe talked about resiliency during the kim jong un for crisis as a special edition of hannity continues.

million people are expected to travel over the next weekend a half at a time when covid-19 deaths topping 3000 a day. sean: amid covid-19 restrictions, american resiliency, hard work, i asked mike rowe about this and more. >> i have watched this show. i wish i had your pipes. the injuries, the risk, 40 foot while the waves fishermen, it is crazy, in the roughest conditions which i am amazed how

great americans are. if manufacturers stop manufacturing, truckers stop trucking new york would have died. >> party is over. that was the premise of dirty jobs from the start to shine a light on people keeping the lights on, usually out of sight out of mind. deadliest catch was another page out of the same playbook. early on 2002-2003 we began to realize reality tv could be used to do something more laudable than what you see today. these are modest shows, what you said before is the most interesting four letter word in the country. i referred to risk. risk is always with us and in the age of coronavirus we

certainly are realizing we have to balance our willingness to assume risk with the business of living and the business of being safe but not at any cost and so the country is having a huge conversation around the reality of risk and into all of that shows like deadliest catch and dirty jobs that profile people who are used to assuming unusual levels of risk it is instructive and always fun when headlines catch up to the themes in a show and i have been lucky in that way. it has been happening me to last 20 years. sean: i will repeat myself, i wash dishes, i was a cook in a restaurant. i was 12 years old, i was a busboy, waiter, bartender, almost a decade of my life and then i went into construction for almost a decade, painted

houses, and wallpaper ended framing and roofing, to at half stories off a roof, dislocated my arm, didn't have health insurance but got a job 2 weeks later. the best thing that ever happened to me. it keeps me grounded that this business of tv is not as hard as those jobs i did and nobody said great job. here is a check, get out of here. >> if you look at it like a ladder and believe in some semblance of the chronology the most important rungs on that latter are closest to the ground, that allow you to climb and if you remove those rungs, remove those jobs and take somehow if you arbitrage that experience out of people's lives they would never wind up where

they ultimately get and we talked about this before. i have a foundation called micro works. every year, we help people learn a skill that is in demand. this month we are giving away $1 million coinciding with a road trip on dirty jobs but to your point it is not for a four year degree, it is not for typical jobs we've us aspirational. it is for plumbers and welders and mechanics, heating and air-conditioning specialists and electricians and if anybody in your audience is interested in hitting the reset button and learning a skill that is in demand the single best thing i have done is the foundation devolved out of dirty jobs and that is part of the reason i want to reboot that franchise. i think our country needs to see examples.

sean: you want to know what makes america great? people that work hard every day to provide the goods and services that we want, need and desire, that give us the standard of living that everybody wants to come here and a lot of those jobs are hard and they don't get thanks enough and they deserve it. like the guys in deadliest catch, tell the captains and crews i am their biggest fan. i watch it on a loop i watch it so much. >> i saw an interview on your show, i wrote it down, he said i don't want to say things just for saying it and it was a remarkable interview but that struck me and so many people in our country today are saying things just to hear the sound of

their voice, to win an argument or club the somebody over the head with a new piece of data and i am doing the best i can to keep my mouth shut, but shine the light on people we feature in our programs because they are the most persuasive and the best case i've seen for the undeniable truth that you can still prosper by learning a skill and mastering a trade. we have forgotten that in this country and forgotten the fact that risk is not always the enemy. risk is part of the reason we are compensated, part of the reason we are alive and the shows you love which you've been kind enough to mention, they celebrate that and that is much for sale in 2020. >> what if medical manufacturers shuts down when we needed them, if farmers didn't farm, packers didn't track and truckers didn't

truck? what would have happened to all of us? >> frank capra asked the same question even more broadly and it's a wonderful life. he said regarding george bailey. what if this one man had never been born and never walked the earth and the answer is everybody's favorite movie. it shows us in clear terms how we are all connected. nevermind essential versus nonessential, steelworkers versus teachers versus accountants, we are all part of a mosaic. it is a quilt and if you start to arbitrage certain people out of the mosaic based on a harebrained definition of essentially only you will get the depressing parts of it is a wonderful life and it will keep going on and on and people like me will show up and start selling masks that say safety third because we are trying to raise money to do something. sean: hold it up so people can

see. i want you to get me one thing. i want to poster of deadliest catch signed by some of the fishermen. >> don't move. right now. of the price is right. sean: i got to go in 5 seconds. >> it is called a tease. we will negotiate later on your radio show. sean: whatever it is i will say yes. my interview with actress kirstie alley after she faced intense backlash for supporting donald trump straight ahead.

>> sean: actress kirsti alley faced backlash from the left after announcing on sean: kirstie alley faced backlash when she announced her support for donald trump, i

spoke to her about this and more. you are great to come on this show. you will be hit hard. prepare your self. welcome to my world. you should rot in hell, you don't have a brain, they attack your deeply held religious beliefs, why do you think -- >> they attack the same 3 things. iowa fat irrelevant scientologist but this has been going on for 40 years so i was prepared. that is all they have to offer. i don't take it personally because i feel people are angry and have a right to say what they want to say and i have a right to block them if i don't like the way they speak. i have been talking about trump

for several months and the other night i put out a tweet that simply said i voted for him because he's not a politician so i got this flood, thousands and thousands do you know the definition of politician? and i do and i know they know what i meant that he's not a career politician and we have a history in this country of people not as much currently but people of different occupations like farmers and tailors and oil men and business men and generals coming in and serving as president of the united states, and back to their other jobs. i like that trump has a lot of energy, more than any human being i have ever seen and i think the big thing i was mentioning was i'm really tired

of career politicians, paying people to do nothing and take too long to do it and this is what i would do to solve this. they should have a base salary and should be paid if they have any accomplishments. for every accomplishment a performance bonus. sean: i read your twitter feed, you are against socialism, you said something, you talk on joe biden which few people take on on the issue of race, he praised a former klansman, partnered with the former klansman to stop the integration of schools because he didn't want them going to schools. a liberal democrat which they never accept from anybody else. >> i don't know. it is why i think for myself

because when your gaffes are constantly, when he said what did he say? you are not black if you are not voting for me and constant gaffes that have actual racist overtones. maybe you get one way you accidentally said something inappropriate it is pretty constant. my biggest deal, it is constant, those are racial slurs. >> you have a lot of courage. i admire you for doing it and i can accept liberal views, they ought to be able to accept our views, they can't, best of luck. my interview with one of the greatest college football coaches of all time, lou holtz straight ahead. be. we can create a kinder,

>> live from america's news headquarters another legal defeat for donald trump in his effort to overturn the presidential election. a federal appeals court refusing to give merit to a lawsuit to declare donald trump the winner in wisconsin which joe biden took. the federal judge appointed by trump tossed out the lawsuit ruling trump's arguments fail as a matter of law and fact. a 3-judge appeal panel confers. a stream of marching bands across the holy land in bethlehem him a few people were there to greet them as the pandemic and strict lockdown dampen celebrations.

festive gatherings that mark the holiday have been scaled back or canceled altogether. sean: i recently spoke to holtz about him receiving the presidential medal of freedom. i watched you and couldn't have been happier. >> i am ready to receive from donald trump, the best president in my lifetime, what about ronald reagan, he didn't have the harassment donald trump has received so i'm humbled by the award. it doesn't apply to who i am, the quality and character of my family and friends.

sean: i agree with you trump is a force of nature, a guy that so rare makes a whole lot of promises, fights every single day and accomplishes everything he said he would do. >> from medal of freedom, january 5th, 1937, died december 4th, 2020, buried in 2026. the most important thing is therapy. this should scare every american. sean: the highest award to a civilian which you got. you have a tough year.

i forgot how many years, you lost your bride of how many decades. you got coronavirus. 59 years. >> the thing about it, the lesson we should learn from everything is there are ups and downs, the receiving the medal of freedom is a great thing, losing my wife was a tragedy, that is part of life. we have to handle the up and down and good and bad and things that happen in between. it is part of life. we've got to learn to handle it. everybody gets a trophy, no valedictorian, consequently they don't know how to drop but that is what makes america great, what we are put on this earth to do, i know that, you know that. sean: they made a mistake. did you have a hard time.

>> rushed into the hospital and got side effects of covid-19 but you fight it and i am not going to be afraid of anything and i will do the best i can with it. there have been 100 football games canceled, not a single football player i know has been hospitalized because of covid-19. it does affect older people but you have to fight through it. what is unbelievable is we are going to have a vaccine within a month, we are going to get some help here and people in old age and the public. it is unbelievable but it is part of life and you have to handle it. everybody expect not to have any problems. it is somebody decision a problem to solve and that is not the case. that is how i was raised.

sean: worst, the house down and spoke for 3 minutes. and the bad. >> you been on tv for so many years. so well respected. sean: i learned a lesson, never throw a great speaker like lou holtz ever. it is will deserved. more hannity right after this. .
