. are we there yet? or completely out of time? kind of a grim hour. hour. sorry about that. we don't make the news. it just falls into our laps.the wenews report it. >> but tomorrow night, less grim news. we can promise that. >> in the meantime, pete hegseth, speaking of cheerful, t and optimistic, sitting inin for sean hannity tonight. >> here he is . >> i'm going to try might be a t little grim, but we'll try a to optical a little bit. , tuck always great, tuckerer. merry christmas to you. i get don't get a chance to do that all the time. you got it. all right. welcome to this specials sp edition of "hannity". i'm pete hegseth, in forec seana on this monday night.y >> b and tonight, weeg beginin o on capitol hill wheret they really got them this time,i two years aftemer the events of january 6th at the capitol, democratt ths and a few self-serving republicans are recommending that the doans arej charge donald trump with four separate crimes, of course,

as pointed out by the washington post. and consider the source, quote, the move has nhao legal weight. >> coming up, greg jarrett and alan dershowitz will join us with more on what is athat a pathetic conclusio cn to alwayss pointless january 6th. ne commission. >>ve they never looked intoallyw the stuff we really want answers on , but we begian nith th with a real crisis thaet the white house is still trying to ignore. as we speak at this moment, waves of illegal immigrants are amassing at the southern border, all preparing to cross in just a few days barring. a last ditch effort, the supreme court title 40 tomae which you know is a pandemic erthata policy that allows illeq to be quickly deported,at will expire very soon. at that point, it becomes ticeedingly difficult and very time consuming for the federalme government to deport anyone, which means they basically won't deport anyone.one.

right now, it's a few. it'll go to basically zero. believe it or not, the widen open southern border is about to get much worse. but according to white house press, secretary chief propagandist karine jean-pierre ,you just can't believe you're lying. >> eyes watch this plane . thin listen to migrants who mightki be thinking about it. what should they do afterth wednesday? ey d i just leave that really b clear . >> it would be wrong to thinke n thatg the border is open, ito be v is not open. and i juster want to be very,y very clear about that.open >>, it's not open. don't worry. be very, vervey clear . it's not open. it's not open.th tell that to the record . mil four million illegal immigrantls who cross since biden was swornn in way more that we're not aware of.titl >> title forty two hasn't even ended yet. and already border facilitieswhe totally overwhelmed. the situation is so bad that el paso's democrat mayor, despite democratbegging in the white hot he doesn't call the cops and doesn't declare a state of emergencstaty finally did just that, declaring a state of emergency on saturday night. ttt

meanwhile, texas is attemptingin to patch gaps in the border without help from the biden the administration. >> and new york city's flaky mayor, eric adams. which which way is he going? nek you never know. just announced that publicservis services for citizens ofr citi new york city will likely zew york cbe cut in order to pao the influx of new illegalsr . >> this is a crisis that, ever impacts every corner, every state of our country, every community. and yet the president of the united states can't evenin be bothered to think about visiting the border. >> according to one white houseo adviser, it's just too one difficult for joe to makefor the trip. jo >> watch. but why doesn't go toborder the border? he was just in arizona.. why wasn't it worth his time? well, you have to remember,er margaret, when the president travel s, it's not like you or i jumping on an airplane and getting ofonf and goinga to our destination, everything comes to a halt. so all of these things are in

consideration for the president. is that the best use of it the ? al resources, all of the resources that will be diverted on the ground when the president makes a visit, is that why didn't thad ont vis well, i can't speak to why he has or has not gone. i'm just speaking to the fact that it's a bit more disruptive for the president of the united states to travel than you are. y >>ou o i all these things come . halt. maybe illegal crossings woul d come to a halt.ould s maybe weta could station him there and it would all stop. >> joining us now with a full ws report is someone who' as actually visited the border many times, fox news contributor sara carter joins svillee in brownsville, texas. sara , thanks for all the workog you're doing. what are you seeing? oh, i think yeah. thank you. thank you. i'm here in brownsville as you see behind me is the port of entry. bu buttresses matamoros, mexico. and i got to telttes ml you,exi, right across the border, just several miles from us , is an

open park where over eight thousand that's over eight thousand just here inoplea matamoros. people are waiting to comere wag across the border. ese these arare e people that have n told by the smugglers that title forty two is going to end on wednesday right now, chieff t justice roberts did have a staiy to uphold title forty two .until they are going to uphold that until tomorrow. at 5:00 p.m. when they're goingn to give the department of justicg ive the an opportunity to respond. that is , the bidenopun administration is goinity tog to respond as to why we don't need title. forty two . i can tell you this, federal law enforcement officials, l as members of the border patrol are very, very concerned. they're already seeing those swells, those migrant swells coming in, not just in el paso ,but here in brownsville, invill mcallen, texas, and acrossand ca the border in arizonali and california as well. and they say with the removal of title forty two , the they expect up to 18000 people a day. but that's only because of

the removal of title. forty two . they're still expecting those swells to come imoval ofxpectin i spoke today to vice president of the national borderesident patrol council hv the rio grande valley. chris cabrera,al and he saidd ts those people that are coming in right now aren't just the people that are being held back from title 40 two, but these are people t that aren't being held back from china.g forty two people from venezuela, peoplhelde from cuba, people from afghanistan, people from pakistan. i want you pakistawant you to tn to what he had to say. >>. i mean, based on what you've seen in the last few years, how much of a difference is it removeto be to remove title t40 to i mean, if if we're already seeing these numbers,mbb is it just is it just going to be more of the same or far worse? it's going to be far worse. w right now, we have certainunde people that we can send back under title 40 to, but but there are certain countries thatere are can't be sent backr title 42 .42 and that's wha, t we're seeinga now, mostly venezuelans,uans,

nicaraguans, cubans. they're coming acros. s hugeabou numbers and there's nothing we can do about it. now, a , it's for everyone else. everyone else is not goinganyons to be affected. sp so the fifty thousand or so that are supposedly in mexico right now waiting to cross, that's it.ss yeah., that and then on top of that, you that yo have the others that are just now getting the memo that are going to mobilize and come over from allg mobili over the worldl just from central and south america. we have a lot cominguth americam european countries, asian countries, you name it. they'rtries, a counte coming aly and they're going to continue to come. well, despite the fact that judges have upheld made ino an mexico and title. forty two border patrol agents doesif the biden administration doesn't uphold the law, then the law will not be upheld. wont it e won't even matter. the people will just keep pouring in. >> pete, sara , hold on real quick. so does so. the world is coming. doesg. that just mean we're goig to process them faster and release them more people in

massow so the process really doesn't change. it's just a bigger mass releases of people, non je of which get set back . that's absolutely correct. right now what we're seeingle is a number of people. they'll talk about. tal apprehensions atk ab the border well, the majority of thoseapprh apprehensions are released within a day or two. we don't even have the facilities here in texas ine and this is according to the governor . this is according to texas dps. thisxa according to th is accor patrol, as well as immigration patrt to holdoming mendp all the people that are comingaa across. so, yes, what you'reyi sayinnggi is correct. s corrthey're just bringing theh there, processing them. they can't even do fuleyl. background checks on many of these people. they're just being released into the united states .n with right before i got on with you,l pete, a young family walkeked by me and they had a baby. and you can see that they hadrd. just come across the border and they were asking forus directions to the bus station. they had a little child with them. people are sleeping in the streets here in texas. and , you know, they don't justt stay here in texas.ex end up alo they end up all across the

the united states ., th and i think, first of all, times before i let you go , is the fact that many times the cartels are moving, a lot of people, big, large groups. and while they are doing that, they're moving fentanyl and other narcotics intoo stop the united states and there's nobody there to stop them. this is tha veryis i dangerous s for our nation. we don't know who's coming in. and it's affecting everyone, not just the people crossing the border, bubot our children and the people in the united states as well. welland as we spend all those mn hours processing hordes of people, those are agents that are not working the lineg as peoplthe with evenwith e more nefarious intentions are choosing different routes. sarah carter, thank you so much for your reporting. we appreciate it. now, she talked about limited background checks. you can't really vet people p when you're processing through right away.away. get this next get this next angle on the story. it's no secret that america'sit resources are no's no america'w because of this influx thatof o we're laying out tonight. buutt at this, according to a new senate report, the biden administration is now handing

over unaccompanied minors. remember that phrase unaccompane trump administration, the unaccompanied minors or trose unaccompanied minors now are being handed over to adultsv who have not undergonee a background check. car you just heardte that from sarah carter. in other words, quote, those kids are vulnerable to being placed in the legal custody or in the custody of legal guardians who have a history of child neglect. childor even registered sex offenders. here now with more. >> wisconsin senator ron johnson, who is that put outtee that report. senator , i can't help but but remember the political hysteria . that was how unaccompanied minors were handled under the trump administration. now, because of this crisis, you're saying it's possible that adults are not vettediminal enough to know what their criminal history might be , yetry they get unaccompanied thnors. they're noeyt being vetted. they've issued a couple executive orders to basically relax the types of checks you do on the people that

unaccompanied children being released to . and we have an hhs are bei whistleblower to project veritas talking about beinlyg children, being released into the trade. and , you know, it's been about three hundred thousand unaccompanied children since the by0,000 un administration tk office. about two hundred twenty five thousand been released to sponsotookr. sors. we have no idea who they are.. we don't track them whatsoever.. and remember, when president obama had his crisis is about two thousand people a day. trump had one month, over four thousand a day. under the bush administration. it's over seven thousand people a day. they don't even counayt apprehension anymore. they call encountered. in we're probably talking, as you were talking about, about four 4 million people so far have mil eitherlile so fa been encounter, process dispersed or come to this country, either a known or unknown got away. it's completely out ofco contro, by the way. pu ot in perspective.aways. twenty two states have a population less have as and fr million people. this is completely out ofth control. but the bush administratioisntry apparently couldn't care less.. they don't even call it

a problem. roblemthey call it a challenge n most. what's the why? it's to me, always the most revealing question. so you hadesti alexandriona corg crying about kid s in cagesn cage because the trump administrationcaus is intentiony making sure that no child wasch released to someone who wasn'twa able to be responsible forre them. yet now it's tensps ofonsible s in the middle of the night, often with no backgroundou checks. whnd ches. y if there was such a crisisis o or was it just hysteria?r if what's was j the why for why th doing it this way now?foey a >> you have to ask the president biden. you have to as k democrats who vote to not completete the wall that we already pai tod fo wr. again, enough people to that are larger than the population of twenty two states. t to b i think it'sri pretty obvious. i think they want to bring people that we're going to beem beholden to them when it comes to the next election. evenext if they can't vote courseof cos

. that's what they're always for. aln balloting as well. without voter id.e go so i think they got a game plan here and carrying out their game plan. is there anything republicans on capitol hill can do? ? i know the senate remains in the minority. if thouse will be in slim republican hands. if there's one thing you could'i do that would actually bet, wha effectual at this point, whatt would it be ? >> well, we have to keep raising the issue. and i was chairman of homeland close security committee. we had close to three dozenearig hearings on somes aspect of the border when the crisis wasne far smaller. we've just written a letteromplt to our chairman who completely is uninteresteeld in this. i mean, this is ranking member portman that led to this reportn on the majority has no interest whatsoever in this crisis on the border. sorisis onhe we just need to ramp upthem pressure, try and get the mainstream media paying attention, because righto now it's just outlets like foxw that are covering this. so most americanjus don't evenlo realize the full blown crisiswn occurring on our southern border. >>e southe exactly right.>> pet:

>> they seem to be paying attention a little bit, but it's always what we needmorm to spend more money down there to process fasteonr, actually fx the problem. ooblem. johnson, thank you s much for your time tonight. senaappreciate it. >> all right. joe biden's border policies, wellolicie, they're clearly not working or they're working just like they want them to work, toh the plan is .plan, after al. >> no plan after all. but that's news to abc's martha raddatz. >> she's now blamingddatz. republicans. take republicans look, you talkt the border wall . >> youabout th talk about open . i don't think i've ever heardd president biden say we have anye open border, come on over.ha i would, in fact, make sure that there is we immediately surge to the border. all those people are seekingasyl asylum.um they deserve to be heard. that's who wthe are.ey deser we're a nation, says if you want to flee, you're fleeingyouu oppression. >> you should comeld. ou sho >> you should comeul. nice try, martha. running full on cover forr long the regime at this point. joining us now with reaction,

fox news contributor and former acting director tom hohman. nealong with the president ofid the national border patrol council, brandon judd. so, tom ofbo, brandon,rder you e both clearly the problem here. and tom, i'll start with you because you talk about the problem. tom e you , you're the reason tn coming, not the biden administration. >>g, well, look, you know, i get angry because i spent my career putting analyst murderers in prison. i put hundreds of them in prison. so don't equate me to being indo bed. n't eqe to beiwith the smugglers sakes. and that report is obviously dumber than a box of rocks because joe biden has askednt them to come. but i want to just touch to onn johnson just said, because this irritates me to the degree they say president biden's policies are humane. really. ay presi, our record number of migrants have died or joe biden crossing the border, a record of americans die from fentanyl that comes across at open border. a number they mean children hay crossing across the border were released to so-called sponsors. and according to my sources,easo

they can't find 40% of them, four out of ten .. they can't find president trump . we vetted the sponsor and everybody in the household . now, they're not sponsors 40% missing. i guarantenoey are ne some of te children are being forced into child movies. some of these e are beie childrl being forced labor. some of these children are not home. a . don't tell me joe biden's policies are more humane to president trump. in hom we hades immigration down 83%. how many aliens weren't dying on the border? how many americans weren't dying from fentanyl? how many women were traffic across the united states ? how many? no disrespect to a terrorist t one coming across the country. joe biden has a recorder. fourteen hundred irish havede died on his watch. one hundred thousand americans don't say president trump insays our administration was inhumane when the average clearly showsit this administration's inhumane and people areio dying every day because of it. >> a man very well said.l said brandon, is it cable news

thatits talking about an open adrder that smugglers listen to , or is imit the policies tht the administration is pursuing ? >> it't ons als.l about actions. the smugglers always look at the actions and the policies of an administration. they will reactiont based upon t our government is doing. and right now, when you lookr gi how many agents are patrolling the border, the other night when i put on a uniform and i went out and tripled , everrder, every single agent in my station was doingt wa administrative duties, ies. including myself. i was doing transport duties. when youing tr looank at right e instead of using rhetoric, let's actually talk about facttf . facts arare that right now we're only deploying between 40 to 50% of our resources to actually patrol the border at the beginning orol the f theh by the end of the shift, thosenr numbers drop down to eitheror 2% thirty or 20%. tually that's actually patrolling the border. title forty two goes away, we're going to have next to nous agents patrolling the border. every single one o goingf us are going to be doing administrative duties, as we processing these people through as quickly as we possibly can.

just to be released into's the d the united states . that is the definition of ann open bordeof aarr. stream thos me are the facts.refu yeset the mainstream media and the democrats refuse to talk about that. l instead, they deflect and liee n to the american people because they know that they're going to be covered for no agentsg patrolling the border by the end of a shift. vettin and tom, homg e and to your point, we're not vettinge the backgrounds of adults we'rew handing kids to .e and yeant this administration is doing the humane thing. i appreciate you bot doing h, the courage of your voice and for sticking up fo entsrtr the agents trying to do their job downow there who can't bring in a top. >> thank you so much. all coming up, our own chad pergram brings us the latestestn on the sham jan 6th committeeite referrals today. while greg jarrette referr and n dershowitz weigh in. and another bombshell, twitter in.files dropped today really is concerning hunter biden.. we'll brin concg the latest as this special edition of "hannity" continueit s.

general merrick garland. here aand.t the latest is our c. pergram. e nevechr been done before in its final public meeting. the one six committee referred a former president to the doj for possible prosecution.>> our >> ours is not a system of justice where foot soldiers go to jail in the mastermindssti and ringleaders get a free pasng . >> the charges conspiraccoynspia to defraud the u.s. by attemptinaud the g to send io electoral votes, lying to investigators, obstructing congress from certifying the electoral college >>d helping sparked the riot at the capitol.nt >> president trump lit t rump litthe flame. he poured gasoline on the fire and sat by in the white house dining room for hours, watchingi a fire burn. and today he still continues to fly to fan those flames. >> the doj is already probingtr

mr. trump through special counsel jack smithth . the committee referred house minority leader kevin mccarthy and three other gop members to the ethics committee. they did not respond to subpoenas for testimony and changes to how congress certifies the electoral college are included in the upcomingomn omnibus spending bill . >> the plan raises the bar r to challenge an electoral votes and guards against possible mischief. guards agae. chad chad pergram, thank you verythao much. wellvery muc, now this is a comt that had a predetermined outcome. and now th it was stacked with trump haters and refused to conduct their investigation. with any semblance of objectivity. itsave betoday's new is fueling more concerns that have been simmering for a long time. do we haveenering for a long a f of justice in america? here with more legal analysis on today's news, author of the price of principal, d esteemed law professorlaw alan dershowitz, along with fox news legalprof analyst, gregg jarr the esteemed greg gerard. >> gentlemen, both thanks for being here.

thanks fprofessor, you heard chu pergram. he said never been done before.d been dontalk to me about the implications of what thishe sham committee has done. it' >> of course, it's never been done before because it'solates t unconstitutional. it violates three provisions of the constitutionvisions . e onch article one says that the powers of congres is is limited to performing a legislative function. this is not a legislative function. >> making a referral to congress has nothing to do with legislation. >> second, there's the bill ofnd attainder prohibition as well, which says that congressco doesn't have the powerng prto specify by a name people fr prosecution in the spirit of that provision was also violated. and finally, this is the 14th amendment, which does say that congress does have some power when it comes to the kind of insurrection that led to insur. vera but that's a very limited power. and so this is a very dangerouss thing. it's not just irrelevant. the justice department will toss this intntoafter

the wastebasket after writing a polite letter to the committee. they shouldn't do that. they should reject it and they should denounce a committee for violating the separation of powers. powend our s of checks and balances. >> greg. is that what you think will happen? does this make it more or less likely that the department of i justice, merrick garland, woulds want to pursue this? you know, they want to , bute ae what is the committee done in putting its finger on the scale on that? >> well, you this is symbolism at its worse, a purely partisann act by a politically drivenlly committee. >> i don't think anybody eve the department of justice is even going to read itn. politicians are not prosecutors and good prosecutors know thatgl they have to prove every essential element of a crimet of beyond a reasonable doubt. and legally, when youy when read through these referrals y, as i have there, they're anemic. for example, obstruct o government process because with others wo object to biden. slate of electors.

you mean democrats did.of jamie raskin in two thousandlike seventeen. d didthe committee chairman, be thompson, in two thousand and five, objected to republican electors. one ofcting to the other referrals is incitement of insurrection. >> where's the evidence of that? e the committee spent 16 monthss trying to find evidence of that . all they havmpe is trump's's speech, which is just the opposite, in which he urges his supporters to protest peacefully h, cheer on the allis ,let your voices be heard. that is not the standard setndas by the supreme court. for incitement of violence. and so this isn't just weak. ths >> this is farcical.a week. professor, did they know it was unconstitutional? >> the beginning and this was all a pr exercise. i mean, they brought in a tv producer, a script highly scripted. >> i mean, this was never really about serious criminal charges. was nevlly about seriou

oh, of course. >> jamie raskin was my student.a i defended his father against charges of relating to the vietnam war. he's a professor of constitutional law. he knows congress doesn't haveho this power to referthe mc the mccarthy committee to that to back in the nineteen fifties ,they would specifycify i individuals and call on the prospecndt to to go aftee them. and we civil libertarianm.sobjet strongly objected to that. where arede the voices of the democratic civilil liber libertarians who should against congress, going after people and naming names and being specific r and making referrals in violation of three provisions of the constitution?ations oovis of the constitution. but when it comes to get trump, many leftists, democrats, civilr libertarians have forgotten about the constitutioniaabout te ends justify the means. it's you're absolutely right about that, greg. where does this go ?

with a new republican led house of representatives? does it die?n that does it change referral?ral? >> what does it mean? well, this was the last and i think it was the 10th hearing and they had to do something and they chose the referrals, whic h i agree with the professor go in the circular file the wastebasket, because the committee is now functionalist, effective early january when republicans regainf the house of representative control. and i think one ofrol and the investigat ink one e they're going to be conducted is the malfeasance of this committee. >> you know, andy biggs is said we're going to subpoena all ofaf the thousands of hours off vide videotape that they carefullotyn edited. in other words, editing out exculpatory informationinform and cleverly editing iatn incriminating information. well, that's fundamentallyformao unfair.

>> and i think americans deserve the full, unadulterated truth. >> so i hope they do that. well, we know that was not a show trial. go ahead.>> we w knoe w that was because whn they presented the president's speech on january six , they admitted the words specifically, peacefully and patriotically. you don't do thaacefullyt. a if a lawyer ever did that inlawr a court of law, the lawyer would be sanctioned.ctio buned.t the idea that congress n pick and choose without any cross-examination or dissenting view is cegep, that this was, as president trump said,es a kangaroo committeeident . and i don't think anybody should pay attention to its predetermined conclusions. >> absolutely right. all right, professorsor ders dershowitz, greg jarret, thank you both. for your breakdown tonight. all right. now, more big breaking news surrounding twitter's censorship and corruptionw as new reporting from journalist michael shellenberger reveals that the fb shellenbi used your tax dollarsr

to weaponizes intelligence and squash the joe biden laptop story. despite the reportbiden la beine and accurate, as shellenberger explains evidence points to anby organized effort by representatives of the intelligence community aimed at senior execs, at news and social media companiesaked f to discredit leaked information about hunter biden befored and after it was published.ter t translatio wn the fbi, the federal bureau of investigatio n, was bent on defeating donald trump no ma and covering for team biden.tt no matter the cost. shellenberger continues writing during all of 2020, the fbenberi and other law enforcement agencies repeatedly primed twitter's uo l wrath to dismiss reports of hunter biden'se to laptop as a russian hack and leak operation. they even did a tabletop a table exercise about how he should respond when thiabs leak comes

out, so-called leak. but remember john paul macgave t isaac gave the fbi the laptop in december of 2019. the fbi already knew by 2020 that the laptop was authentic. r they already had it inpossessi their possession, but it gets even worse by mid 2020. fbi agent elvis chan and roth u had set up an encrypted messaging network so that from employees from the fbith and twitteitter cor could commua and none of us would hav ce a chance to look at those com communications. le >> we now have indisputable evidence that the fbi colluded with twitter to conduct election interference, all done to help defeatdo, defeat donald trump and help joe biden. >> and it was so revealing about the seven twitter dump, it was all done using your federal tax dollars, meaning the fbi paid twitter for all the time twitter employees spent doing work for the fbi to the tune of

three point five million dollars of taxpayer. that's number forty six of tweets in the seventh twitter dump. also breaking tonight, an explosive report from john solomon reveals that the justice department used grand jury subpoenas to obtainme a personal email and phone data of russia to investigate cash, patel and others. now, republicans are vowingwing to investigate all of these new intel abuses in the new houstel abuse. but as you know, the time fortir accountability. awell, long past due here for reaction. fox news contributor ari fleischer, along with formereise republican senator scott foo show host buckck sexto sexton. >> ari, let me start with you. where to start? what's your biggest takeaway? we're now in number seven . people are following. it's getting deeper and deepergy in the connection between twitteople arer and the highests of our intelligence agencies. of this is awful on every grounds. wful oi how can the fbi or i haa to say, how can a unitn a some peoplune inside the fbi? is

>> i don't think this is thee wl whole fbi. how can anybody, though, inside the fbi trying to interfere in an election like this? >>to intern electi by suppressi >> the fbi's job is to investigate crimes. imes. it is not to put its finger his for he scale of american elections for or against anybody. th it is not to put his fingeromebd on the scale of whether somebody is engaging iy'n, quotf unquote, disinformation. itf the fbi'so business. and so this is extraordinarily worrisome to see that the tentacles, the fbi, some elements in there have extended into twitter and evenrt twitter started to resist the fbi. >> in some ways, this is one of these emails to show they were so worried about the fbi's overreaching. >> this is this is extraordinary.s extraordinar. i mean, senator , you'reete: sen exactly right. >> what ari said, it's at one pt twitter executive saying, are we really supposed to be doing this? >> but they almost would and then paid for it. a and there was there was a carrot and stick approachnd si

to this. ck you spent time in washington,isi d.c. is this how washington works? washingtonor is this an outlier? >> yeah, i hope it's anwe'v outlier. sadly, we've heard many times that government agenciese hear listen, we don't have anyall. influence over the private sector at all. avhow many times have you heard that in the testimony? in fact, we find it's not true . and i thin k we're finally seeing as well that conservateot had been kind of put on onn the front seat in terms of- by mainstream media and other groupsream med and not getting r shake what the people want inhi this countrys coun is for the f, the doj and other government entities to just call and strikes. i don't play influencers, don't meddle with things that you don't have any purview over because then there's a breach and a lack of trust that that basically contributes, turmo i believe, to the turmoiill that we're seeing. we have to get those agencies to do the jobs, do them fairly, do therly,m openly and transparently. so i'm glad and i praise elon

musk for doing what he's doing. he's obviously taking a hifot ft it, but we're gettining thisul information that otherwise we would not have any verification . and it's reappl and iten a can'a happen again. so i'm hopeful thai am hopeful t the republicans address it, buth i'm also hopeful that they don't just focueys on biden's laptop. they focus on the issues that are affecting this country, which arn ise which are real rit now on the border. obviously, inflation and all the other things we know aboutnh . >> and they don't just focus on twitter because this is just what we know from what's beense revealed because of elon musk. i mean, it's gotel it could be worse in other places, but you work in the intelligence agencies. the it can we trust the fbi? and i don't mean every person fi that works in the fbi, but based on these revelations, can cultures of agencies like this become so corrupted thatfeel lik average people feel like they can't trust them anymore? >> look, it's time for massivemr hearings, i think, looking intoe intelligence community abuses. let's just do a quick reviewmuny here. in 2016, the fbi director stoodl

in for the american people,rges. said hillary clinton shouldn't face charges, not his job. , th and then, oh, by the way, they also created the russia collusion lid the rue to try tod donald trump. and the lessonesald trums from how the fbi took from that was in 2020.2020 did you get directly, to involve in the biden laptop situation, which almost laptop looks like a covert action campaign? i mean, it looks like a propaganda campaign againsttht the american people, the exact sort of thing that shouldn't be done by the intelligence communities. they they've meddled now in twol presidential elections in a rowa . we see nowee because of the twitter files, the extent of the collusion betweenn twitter and the fbtwiti and thet pushing it. by the way, it's not like that. it's not like the twitter body. we're banging down the fbi's door begging for help here. yeah, this has to be something that is looked at verycussions seriously by lawmakers. >> there have to be repercussions for this. twitter was so the fbi is so eager to do it. b they brought them to special events, did tabletop exercises

to war game, how they would suppress any leak of the hunter biden laptop. they paid for our tax dollars paid through the fbi to twitter for their time to do the bidding of the fbi, which at first they did more reluctantly, very enthusiastically. and d. think they're notat a think tank. they're not a news organization. why are they telling twitter on.that jokes should be pulledkh down, that accountou shouldn and be suspended and helping them sn prep for a propaganda campaign to lie about the biden laptop. this is bad. i mean, this is soviet levelthis stuff we're seeing from at least a faction within the fbi l . >> theret need is s a cabal andt needs to be cleaned out. >> that sums it up.s. >> pet this is a real we're almost out of time. >> yeah. peter , peter , if i may, this some more names. >> the left want s this to happen. we're hold out because senator first and then left. tht all right. thank you.s to h the left wants this to happen.ah they want to break up these bigo companies. what airlines doing is that providing that transparentn i f

we break up our tech companies,u china is going to get an upper hand . >> and tha e we havenaught on job creation is for not our last word. yeah, we need to draw a line and not say the fbi did this. >> we need the names ofpervis the individuals who their supervisors were and what section of the fbiorsectio theye in. we need to know who is responsible, who did this.e, w it's notho did this. the whole b fbi doesn't do things. individuali doesn's. at's w >>ha who are they ? and that's what congress needs to call before them. we do deserve to know. buck, ari scott, thank you so much. have a great night.ank yo >>u. all right. straight ahead, the dems over performed in the midterms, unfortunately, but twenty ,2024i twenty four is already looking like a disaster. g to the left.we'l we'll explain why as mikeain wh huckabee and lisa boothey, weigh in as this special edition of "hannity" continues . >> hello, i'm mike lindell and i'm excited to bring you my giza dream bedsheets for the best ever. we're all experiencing rising

a great job and everything. love kid s. >> another day, another bizarre blunder for joe biden. once again, the president was tp caught telling a completely re tellingfalse war story, thisn claiming his uncle earnedhis ac a purple heart for histi actions in world war two. >> watch this. you know, my dad, when i got elected vice president , said joey. uncle frank fought ine fran the battle of the bulgk e, was

not feeling very well now, notll because the battle ofbe the bulge. but he saicause of the batd, ann the purple heart and he never received it. he never he never got it. could do you think you could help him. wet it? will surpris will surprisee. so i got the purple heart. he had won it and the battle of the bulge. and i remember he camee. over the house and i came out and he said, present it to him. >>y i can't read the family there. >> pet >>e: he's just wandering around making things up. e awarde >> so if i can claims that he awarded his uncle the purplertaw heart like a serious, very you u important award that you remember giving. he says he gave it when he was the vice president . bidece pbut biden's uncle died 9 and biden did become vp until twenty eight . >> and there's no evidence they've checked that is uncle was ever awarded the purple heart at all. >> here for reaction, formers arkansas governor mike huckabe e and fox news contributor lisa boothe.

>>ontributor lisa governor , ik remember something like that, a purple heart for your uncle re when it happened, the contexttho of it happening.nt what does it tell you? >> i don't know. take it wherever you want.t. >> i think what we are watchin well, i think what we'ree bide watching is that joe biden is the new stan ewr of the sequl back to the future part four, because he can just weave in and out of various things regardless of when it happened. buegardlest this is the same jon who said he was raised in a puerto rican communitys . he talked about having a chain fight with corn pop. you remember that this is the same joe biden who said hethe marched with civil rightsaseades leaders back in the sixties. there's no evidence that he no ever did that. he was first in his law class. he wasn't. he was near the bottom. i mean, it his own biography makes santa claus and the elves look like the most historicallyy verified reality that we'veust a ever had in america.it and i'm just waiting on any moment he's going to say that

the reason he couldn't get downs to the southern border was bee because he's been up at the north pole helping makes wih toys with sant sa and elves and packing that big old bag in the sleigh. sool he can take off on christms eve. >>ristmas ev it sounds plausibl. , especiallyy with that much money they printed. why couldn'tcoe just go you juh santa claus and believe it form. himself? lisa, again, you laugh. we laugh because it's a story, but we see it time and timewe s again. and we've got, like, a lot oeemf serious stuff going on intuff the country. >> well, i'm sure he'll tellureh us hisat uncle is santa or something like that. >> you know, o i don't know if t matters, which is what's sad, because what i struggle with right now where we are as a country is just a basic still havef do we still have free and fair elections and what we're fighting ouh t with all this twitter files and this new information, these new revelations is that we haveh an fbi that's perfectly happy rigginatg elections, spying on americans, using twitter and social mediaelection to surl

americans. and then you also look at what democrats did with covid in 2020 eight with using a virus that's as deadly as the fluo to completely upend the political process and the way we vote . and now elections are no longer about earning votes. lectin it'sg about collecting ballots. and so i don't know if it really matters or really if anyh of this matters. we're facingis down what we do right now with elections coming up and the way we do thingso as a country, not it is scarthy it really is .l correc i will say this small correction for you, governor , for all those kids out there, don't worry. santa reallyreal is comingly i to deliver your presents. . >> it's not going to be joe biden. all right. it will be the real santa claus. soeal sant thank g god for that. >> nothing to be concerned about. yeah. we got to leave it right there. lisa, governor , thank you so much. i wish wmue ha d more time. we're almost out.ming u all right.p, coming up, an exclusive look atw my new fox nation series, the life of . stay with us. as this specialdicine
