one hundred and fifty thousand . and like i said before, i'm not sure if you guys heard it, but if we raise seven dollars million, that helps. fourteen hundred different families with scholarships for those that their loved one never came back from war. so we want to do our best to bring you to it and break it. >> a couple of record is our attempt. >> i appreciate you, mike . your lifetime of service and those of your brothers who are out on this mission now . thank you again. and we look forward to following along. >> that is about it for us tonight. thank you so much for taking the time to join us . don't forget to dvr the show and of course, tune in each night at eight o'clock eastern to this show that is the sworn enemy of lying pomposity, smugness and groupthink. i hope you all have a great evening. it is now for tammy time. tammy bruce is sitting in for sean hannity tonight. tammy, great to see you.

through the camera. >> yes, same same to you, tulsi. great job. happy new year. it's the night of the brunette's, so we're going to keep it going. you thank you. have all the way. nice to see you. you too. welcome aboard, everyone. and welcome to the special edition edition of hannity. i'm tammy bruce of course, in tonight for sean. and we begin with a key promise made by the biden administration nearly two years ago on january 20th. twenty , twenty one , just hours after biden was sworn in and then white house press secretary and notorious liar jen psaki had this to say from the podium during her very first briefing, quote, president biden's objective and his commitment is to bring transparency and truth back to government. very aspirational. jen . in reality, biden, the biden white house is the least transparent and most dishonest administration in america in modern american history. and right on cue, before dawn this morning at four thirty a.m., a white house lawyer informed the house

oversight and judiciary committees that the administration had no immediate plans to respond to records requests. that must be nice. in fact, the white house is refusing to participate in any oversight until the house committees refile their requests in the new congress. this is obviously a blatant attempt to slow walk the oversight process. i wonder why and prevent transparency on a number of issues from covid to the border. to the botched afghanistan withdrawal. what a catastrophe. and so much more . here now with a full report, senior congressional correspondent chad pergram. >> chad tamme, this marks a big delay for house republicans planning to investigate the biden administration. a spokesman for the white house counsel's office in samms says the administration will cooperate, providing information to congress. but samms characterized efforts by the gop as a quote, political stunt. and the white house told republicans it won't comply

with any request for information while the gop was in the minority. the white house wants republicans to rescind those request once the gop takes the majority in january . republicans promised big investigations for months. >> there's been no oversight of this administration. for the past two years. dr fauci is about to retire, but that doesn't mean that we aren't finished asking him a lot of questions. >> republicans blasted democrats for telling them of their decision at four thirty three in the morning. among the investigations pledged by the gop origins of covid potential influence peddling by the biden family under biden's laptop, the botched withdrawal from afghanistan and the border crisis, the biden administration is fighting us tooth and nail. we did lose some of our leverage point last week in the omnibus passed because that was going to be our leverage to enforce the border through the budget process. and they've taken that away. >> biggs is running for speaker against kevin mccarthy next

week. republican infighting over who could be speaker will also delay the start of gop investigations until february or later. that's because it may take a while for republicans to organize their committees. >> tammy. all right, chad, thank you so much. now, tonight, one thing is certain. in just five days, republicans will take control of the house, whatever that really means. what will they do with that? power, of course, remains to be seen. here now with more former house speaker and fox news contributor newt gingrich. mr. speaker, you had a lot of influence, a lot of power. you knew what to do with it. there was leadership. and now we have it seems like a bunch of kindergartners running around trying to figure out what to do. and you getting bamboozled over there and saying we can't do anything now. look, you have to hand it to the democrats. they they have power. this is politics. they're saying we're not going to do anything. what do you imagine the republicans are going to be able to do in this next year? >> oh, look, i think they'll do

a lot. and i think this is just a childish game by the biden team. the fact is , on the third or the fourth, the republican who will run the committees, no matter who the speaker is , you don't get i totally believe kevin mccarthy will be speaker, but put that to one side. the republicans are going to be running. the committees can simply deliver everything they've already sent up there and say, fine, we now make your standard, give us the information. i think they also can begin to file subpoenas and i think they should broaden out what they're doing. if the ways and means democrats release trump's tax data, i think next year the republicans have to subpoena all of the biden family's various tax rates, including the university of pennsylvania records, and say, fine, i think you have to recognize two things here. one , the democrats are going to play hardball every single day. they're never going to be reasonable.

and that's fine. that's who they are. they are desperately defending power to . this is much bigger than the biden administration. this is the most corrupt and dangerous executive branch in american history. the fbi was corrupt before joe biden got elected. right. the things that have been going on with fauci were before joe biden got elected. we have a real constitutional crisis of an executive branch seeking to wage war against the american people. and i think the house republicans, who are the only coherent conservative group in washington, given the chaos in the senate, i think the house republicans have an obligation to get on the totality of corruption and dishonesty that we're now dealing with at every level of the bureaucracy, not just the biden administration, but deep into the bureaucracy. >> well, they're going to obviously it sounds great, obviously. and maybe you should be running for speaker at this point. but there needs to be a focus right? that is a big job.

shouldn't even at this point, we should know or maybe i'm overstepping here, who would be on the committees that everybody knows what their appointments are going to be, that they can be hitting the ground running on the third and it just doesn't look like it's going to be that way. is there is there no one ? i don't care. whoever's got the power to organize the cats is who i want to be the speaker. >> do you see them being able to hit the ground running? >> yeah. look, i think i know for a fact because i've been talking with him for several years. kevin mccarthy knows he wants to get done. he has a very narrow margin. remember, he has exactly the same margin that nancy pelosi had for the last two years. and she rammed through an amazing amount of stuff. he's got to find a way to deal with about five or six members who are being, i think, totally unreasonable. in the end, i think they will find an accommodation. he will then be speaker. the committees will exist. and by the end of january , you'll see a wave of investigation on a scale we

have never seen because you have a wave of corruption and dishonesty on a scale we've never seen. and i'm confident that by the end of the first quarter, people are going to be astonished. and then, frankly, we were real. i think a real thanks to elon musk, who has been releasing all these twitter records that just prove that the fbi has been stunningly dishonest and stunningly corrupt. and that's much deeper than joe biden. this is not just an administration problem. this is the very heart of the executive branch waging war against the american people. and addressing that is , in fact, what the american people wanted when they elected donald trump. they still wanted they want to see action. they want it delivered. by someone. and this has been the general statement. and i think that, again, with musk twitter, we now have without having to subpoena them and you have to look for emails this whole tranche of

information of emails and not just the fbi, but the cia and not just twitter, but other platforms, it really is an opportunity to get to get in there and see what's happened. >> there was more of an opportunity, an absolute obligation to defend the american people from their own executive branch. and this is literally a war against the american people. you look at the number of subpoenas, the justice department just released. this is insane. this is an administration and an executive branch and large department of homeland security. the effort to create a woke american military, i mean, just go through item after item, the level of corruption, which is frankly stunned me that we've seen with fauci and the public health service, which i look, i helped double the budget of nih, national institutes of health. it never occurred to me to have the level of dishonesty and corruption. and that's far beyond brought by . and i want to make this point. this is not just the white

house. this is a deep institutional decay in the american system. and it's an absolute threat to our constitutional liberties. >> yeah, speaker, i think that that's key because we keep hearing about biden's afghanistan debacle, biden's border, all these things are institutional with a bureaucracy that seems to be rotten to the core. and we either aren't we either address it now or we don't address it at all. thank you, sir, for joining tonight. excellent insight. always appreciate it. now, as you all know, president biden is once again on vacation this time beautiful st. croix. he'll be in the u.s. virgin islands through the new year. so don't expect to see joe in washington any time soon. as a matter of fact, in order to prevent a government shutdown. federal officials were forced to fly the omnibus spending bill to the caribbean just to get the president's signature. i hope the bill's enjoying its vacation. joe could not be bothered

to wrap up his trip early. of course, he never lets work in the way of a good vacation, but maybe that's because he's not really running the country. here now with reaction, former arkansas governor mike huckabee . governor , this is this is absurd. i mean, we are in i saw an ad coming in about the new york circus with nik wallenda. and i thought maybe it's just all an entire circus. and it's it's it is literally ridiculous. americans are freezing to death. americans don't know what money they're going to have in their pocketbook tomorrow. they don't know really what gas prices are going to are going to do. we don't know if our neighborhoods are safe and the president is flying off to st. croix to enjoy his vacation. what does this say about joe biden and the bureaucracy itself? >> basically, what it says is joe biden doesn't give a rip what's happening to the american public. i mean, he could have at least filled up air force one with a bunch of people from buffalo, new york , and taking down to the u.s. virgin islands for

some time. and the son that would have been nice. but here's what i find amazing. this whole bill , which should never have been passed and wouldn't have been, except some republicans folded and went with it all because they said it was an emergency. we absolutely have to do it. we have to do it now. but it's such an emergency that biden took off and let that bill sit there on his desk. right now. we had to get an air force plane to fly down for his signature. and i'm asking myself, tammy, i thought climate change meant that we didn't need to be flying these jets all over the place. there's no telling how much carbon was pumped into the atmosphere. just to get that piece of paper down there for joe biden to sign it. >> you excellent points, because that was a big there's so many different climate change things in there. it's it's like that's the emergency. there is woke funding and the cancer of equity funding. and it's all this, you know, virtue signaling.

and then it's but it's it is literally theater because then it's like the moment it's done, none of this matters. it's as though they believe that we're that we're just a bunch of idiots, that they really have complete contempt for the american people at this point. >> well, and quite frankly, tammy, we are idiots. if we kept sending the same people back to washington to play these stupid games and let the democrats run all over them. look, there's some good friends of mine who voted for that. and i understand i've heard some of their explanations and i realize there were some good things in the bill. but that's like saying i've got a 10 quart pot of stew on the stove and nine quarts of that are really good. and it's all good vegetables and meat. but if 10% of it is rat poison, the question is , do we really want to eat it? >> and i'd say i don't think so. so why are we pushing this when there's so much rat poison in this one point seven trillion dollar omnibus bill ?

that had to be flown down? i only wish it had been flown down by southwest airlines. therefore, it probably would have never made it and maybe we could have avoided this ridiculous bill . >> and , you know, we are heading obviously it's a new year. and thank you for taking your time to join us . we were told by the biden people that we were going to be returning to normal like that was going to a good thing. and we have we've returned to the very dumb normal, to the normal that destroys things in this new year. coming up, the senate republicans for some reason took away the power of house, not all of the power, but of house republicans to deal with the border right with the money and the eighty seven thousand new irs agents. all of all of that. it's like stopped. i mean, it's going to stay the house can't stop them. you what do you think the house is going to be able to do in this next year with this kind of a budget taking away so much of what they can do? >> well, i do think speaker gingrich was on point when he

said that the republicans need to go ahead, unify around kevin mccarthy. yes, let him be speaker. he'll do fine. he'll do great. most importantly, i think we've got some good people chairing those committees who will launch the investigations that absolutely have to happen and quit playing softball with the democrats and say, look, you guys have been throwing them right into our heads for the last two, four years. we're we're going to get on the mound and you better watch out because there's some come in for you. you know, i . i want somebody, as i said, to speaker gingrich, who can get the job done because we don't want telopea televis committees like it's reality tv. the american people want something accomplished. and so i don't care if it's kevin mccarthy. great. but if it's going to be him, governor , wouldn't this be happening now? doesn't he simply need to to get it done? and for all the people and people like jim jordan who have great respect for, my goodness, get with the sit

down and start running this government? well, and i do think we've got some strong people. jim jordan is one you mentioned. i'm very, very confident that he is not going to go soft on us. and as margaret thatcher once said, don't go all wobbly on us. she said to george h.w. bush once, i don't think we've got wobbly people in our leadership. so let's turn them loose, let them go . they don't perform two years from now. we'll boot them out and get some folks who will work hard. >> well, thank you, sir. hopefully this we won't have a back to normal dynamic with the new house. thank you, governor . i appreciate joining me now. coming up, after days of chaos, southwest airlines now says they'll resume normal operations tomorrow. how wonderful. and plus, it's a christmas tradition for america's liberals. fear facemasks and hysteria surrounding covid-19 is once again coming to a city near you if you let it.

so when will normal operations finally resume? for that and much more , we go to our own mike tobin. >> mike , southwest executives promise a return to normal operations. transportation secretary rudy jeg sends out a letter scolding executive airlines for problems that were, quote, within the control of the airlines. he wrote in the letter, these front line employees are not to blame for the mistakes at the leadership level. he admonished the airline to make good on everything from reimbursements to return homes . nearly twenty five hundred flights were canceled today, the bulk of them southwest. >> the bosses at the airlines issued another apology. my personal apology is the first step of making things right after many plans changed and experiences fell short of your expectations of us . we're continuing to work to make this up to you and you'll hear more about that soon. but for now, we're focused on restoring the reliability and level of customer experience we expect of ourselves and that you expect

from us . >> southwest executives were reluctant to ballpark the financial impact of the big meltdown, but say it will hurt fourth quarter earnings. and they say it could be weeks until they catch up with customers in need of compensation. jamie, back to you. all right, mike , thank you so much. now we turn to more developments out of china where the authoritarian regime zero covid obsession is failing miserably amid reports of skyrocketing cases. remember, china has refused to be transparent about its actual covid numbers. i mean, you just can't believe them and refuse to take any responsibility for massive public health failures. meanwhile, here at home, some of the media still can't let go of their covid obsession . a new piece in the new yorker tells the story of a ragtag band of so-called experts and activists who never want covid restrictions ever to end. and they want masks forever. and over at cnn, a recent article is even pondering whether you should attend on new year's eve party.

but the cost of its never ending hysteria could not be more obvious. it is bad for business and bad for growth. and most of all, it's bad for the kids who continued to try to make up for the learning loss of the last three years. as a suppression of dissent, the nonstop mixed messaging and the flat out lies have destroyed the credibility of major public health institutions. here now with more, fox news contributor dr. janet nasrat. dr. janet, if there's any confirmation that lockdown's totalitarian control ceiling, people in their buildings forcing mass usage doesn't work. it's what's happening in china right now after they've been doing that for for two and a half years. and yet they have this explosion of cases. tell us your take on this now with what you're experiencing here. also in new york as a working dr.. yeah, absolutely. well, what i can tell you,

first and foremost is we need to be done with the fear mongering in my shift this morning, i only had four patients test positive for covid everyone else had simple colds, coughs, maybe some chest pains that sort of thing, or some influenza. but we are not anywhere near where we were three years ago. china is a different story. we cannot trust china. there's been a lack of transparency with china since day one . and look at them now, massive outbreak of cases because of their poor policy, their bad leadership, their low efficacy vaccine and their health care system. is collapsing and timid. they inflicted this upon themselves with their absurd and inhumane zero covid policy. you cannot defy mother nature. remember, for us , it was all about just flattening the curve, not zero cases, but they what they tried to do is cage the virus, suppress the virus. and now they completely reversed their decisions and the virus is running rampant. and who knows, maybe there's a new variant. we do know that there's an omicron subvariant, the bfc seven variant.

that's what could be circulating now affecting all of them. but we're not sure because they're not sharing that data with us. but fortunately, a plane of chinese people flew to italy. they are testing those passengers and hopefully soon we'll know through genomic sequencing and surveillance if there is indeed a new type of variant that we might need to do further testing upon. but we are not going to get that information from china yet. and , you know, we know that viruses mutate. there are variants we're experiencing this. and what was the hub, which was new york city? right. the center of the initial outbreak? people some are wearing masks aren't based on their personal situation. and we're now a lot of people had covid i had covered last christmas a year ago. so you've got the the natural immunity, et cetera. but it's about living life, isn't it? i mean, this is about taking precautions, as you would during flu season. and recognizing that waking up in the morning is dangerous.

and you still adjust yourself based on what you can handle as an individual. yeah, you're absolutely right. a lot of us have had covid, some people two times, some people three times. we have natural immunity and we have vaccine immunity. it doesn't last forever, but we're at a point we really do have good treatments, good therapeutics and decent vaccines. that keep you out of the hospital. everybody needs to know their risk. take that personal responsibility and accountability to understand your risk. if you're in a high risk group, if you're vulnerable, if you're a senior citizen, sure, it makes sense. take that extra step to protect yourself. wear your mask in crowded indoor public areas if you have heart disease or obesity or maybe you're undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. but for everyone else, it's a personal choice. there should be no mandates. you can accept the recommendations from the cdc and that's that and move on . >> so you're rejecting it just as the last word here, this notion that we should wear masks forever in our lives, that that if you want to go

to a party, go to a party and take care of yourself, live your life absolutely. >> 100%. you need to do that. i completely disagree with the mask forever with this. i don't know where they come from, but the only people that you should be getting medical advice from is your own personal doctor . that's right. that's right. excellent job. well, always on the front line through this entire thing. dr. ginnette, thank you so much for joining me. now, as elon musk continues to lift the veil on twitter's past censorship, misconduct, the company's ceo says that the new policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science. it comes amid mounting scrutiny of twitter's past willingness to take orders from federal law enforcement about what to censor. and amid growing calls for major technology companies to be more transparent. what a concept about content moderation decisions. here for reaction, host of fearless on kick fox news

contributor tommy lauran, along with fox news legal analyst greg jarrett. greg, let me start here. with you. there's so many things to unpack. i think in general, but we've got a dynamic here where it's the latest twitter release indicated signee ficken, fbi involvement possible. also cia involvement that this these governments, a government subsidiary. at one point it was called, i think by matt taibbi. and this is now we're going to have some oversight from the new house of representatives when it comes to what can happen to a government that is this out of control and this rotten at the core. what what are the options here that americans can expect in this next year? a thorough investigation by congress. is anybody surprised that pretty mosque, the twitter nitwits, otherwise known as twitch, had a fauci fan club. they were brainless and gullible, easily duped by fauci the fraud.

>> i mean, this is a guy i've never seen somebody so enamored by his own celebrity. his arrogance and hubris was really quite breathtaking. this is a guy who said, if you criticize me, you're criticizing science. because i am science. no, he's not. science is all about raising questions and mounting challenges. that's how empirical evidence is tested. >> that's how science advances . but fauci wouldn't tolerate dissent to his pronounced comments. >> and he was wrong about almost all of them from mask mandates to nationwide lockdowns and shut downs, school closures, studies show it had almost no effect denigrated alternative drugs that actually proved useful. >> he sold the vaccines as a panacea that would prevent transmission and infection. but his biggest offense was covering up his own role in funding of function research. >> dangerous stuff inside that luján lab from which the virus

may have escaped and then lying about it to congress. this is a vainglorious guy who saw himself as a hero. >> in truth, he is a villain who made the worst judgments in medical history. >> yes, i'll tell you, tommy, there's a new story out that apparently indicates that fauci has pictures of himself all over his is his and bobbleheads and that there really is a kind malignant narcissism that's driving this. but we know that this, again, didn't start with biden. it didn't start with trump. it didn't start with covid. this has been a rotten system that has embraced this kind of attitude. do you see as being able to clear out this rot from the fbi? and the cia and this bureaucracy where someone like that is in an office for decades and then begins to think that he is the only thing that matters? here's the problem. we have a lot of collusion,

as we know, between big tech, big government and maybe even a little bit of big pharma mixed in there. as well. and that all spells disaster for truth. and at the end of the day, the american people and the thing that bothers me most is that now we are getting this transparency, but we also need a day of reckoning and we're hoping this new congress, this new house majority is going to do that. it's one thing when you start messing with politics and you throttle certain voices on twitter, that's annoying. and it does have consequences when it comes to elections, when you start messing with information on a pandemic, when you start selecting, throttling medical professionals and science professionals that are not helping advance your specific narrative, american people suffer because of that. american people shape their entire lives for two plus years around what a certain subset of medical professionals were saying. and the others were completely left out the conversation. they were treated like social and medical pariahs. so we need a reckoning. and the sad part about this

is tammy is now we do have this transparency on twitter and we've got elon musk saying we're going to follow the science, but also question it. but the sad part is the majority of the american people are not on twitter. so now we're going to have some transparency there. but we also need to demand transparency from the mainstream media, because as you just mentioned, there are still many folks in the mainstream media who are still peddling the same fear mongering they have since day one . and american people need transparent, especially when it comes to the health and wellness, because, tommy, it's not kopans right in front of us . we know that this was the hunter biden laptop. but another interesting aspect is for liberals, democrats, there was a new poll that found about only six percent of them understood what was happening even at the border, that there was this level of ignorance, that legacy media that is watched by democrats. they're not sharing the news. they're not sharing the reality of the news. that's part this issue, isn't it? >> oh, it absolutely is . >> and that's why we need

to reach independents. and it's one thing when we sit here and we do this on fox news, which we hope people are listening, we hope people are watching, but it's going to take a lot of truth tellers across podcasting, across mainstream media and of course, across big tech where we can to get the message out loud and clear. but it's also incumbent upon republicans that are going to be in this new majority to make sure that they're getting the message out. >> greg, i'm going to give you the last word here as we see all of this kind of bubbling up to the surface. take it away when you get all of your news and information from the mainstream media that isn't reporting at all about their twitter files. and then you know nothing about the lawlessness and corruption that is now endemic in the fbi . >> and you are left wondering what's going on . >> why does congress want to investigate? you know, there's going to be a reckoning down the line for people at the fbi, the cia, the intelligence committee, all of whom conspired together to run a protection racket for

joe biden and hunter biden. and i think congress needs to get to the bottom of it because it's clear that joe biden's department of justice, an fbi run by garland and christopher wray, will not clean up the cesspool of corruption. >> you know, what we should do is have your books, greg, tommy, your books sent to every member of congress so that, greg, you've led the way in making sure people knew and understand the russia hoax. the dynamic with trump in general, the the witch hunt, the background. there's so much information. a lot of people need to be reminded about that. thank you. to both of you. happy new year. thanks for joining me tonight. now, as we close out 2020 two, there are encouraging signs that everyday americans are in fact getting more and more fed up with censorship and far left lunacy. for example, a new poll from the new york times shows that americans are rejecting woke words like chest feeding and letting.

but sadly, inside america's schools, progressive administrators are continuing to undermine parental rights and continuing to undermine students access to a balanced and healthy education for example, in fairfax county, virginia, a top ranked public high school reportedly failed to notify high performing students of their national merit awards, thus preventing them from using the awards to boost their college applications. the reason parents say it's all part of the equitable grading initiative at thomas jefferson high school, which rejects merit in favor of coddling underperforming kids. it's not just that high school, though. it's really across the country . parents are rightly outraged and demanding answers. now, the school district tried to downplay the news, claiming in a statement that it was just a one time error. but parents aren't buying it and claim that this has been going on for years. here with more, red state editor kira davis and fox news contributor joey jones. kyra, there is a conflicting

statements out, huge report from asra nomani in city journal. also repeated coverage in the new york post. there, saying this went on for five years, that this there was a statement by one of the people involved allegedly said they didn't want to hurt the feelings of students who didn't get the merit awards. this is really the cancer of equity has nothing to do with fairness and everything to do with cutting off the heads of tall poppies. >> absolutely. and i don't believe that explanation for one second. in fact, when that story broke, i lots of responses on twitter from people who said, yeah, i have the same issue at my school in a different part of the country. had the same issue at my school in georgia with my son . so this is definitely going on everywhere. but it's not new , as you said. you know, there were some times in florida when they decided they wanted to grade minority students on a curve. and we actually do that here in some places in california.

it's the soft bigotry of low expectations. and i'm sorry, but as a as a black mother myself, i can tell you that when i look around at my community, my my california community and the black community, i see people who are proud to achieve and want our kids to achieve. that's what i want. i don't need anyone making things easier for my children. i need my children to succeed because i'm not always going to be here to take care of them. i need to know they can take care of themselves. so denying them the the the pleasure of achievement and what that needs for your life. it's disgusting. it's it's it's disgusting. it's say something else. >> but it's right. it's television. it is . joey, a war on merit. i mean, we know that our military, our industries, whatever you choose to do for a living accomplishment matters . this is also about scholarships

for kids to get to be able to go to to college. but this is the woke agenda. it's about like an artificial evening of a playing field. and it's it's really going to damage every industry. it already is . and certainly our military and people who want to make something of their lives. >> yeah, i mean, what we're talking about here is a school district in fairfax county, virginia. i believe that i believe it was mostly asian students. so they withheld the award from, i guess, under this auspice of maybe not perpetuating a stereotype that asian kids are better at certain subjects. i'm not really sure where that were their mind was, but what really is interesting about it didn't help any of the kids that didn't win the award. they just prevented the kids that did win the award from using it when applying to college. you're not you know, we've gone from everybody gets a trophy, nobody gets a trophy. and i don't want to steal that. i think i heard it from tharsis today. i did a couple of shows yesterday, but that is absolutely where we are. if i can't do it, then by george, you're not going to be able to do it either.

that doesn't make any sense. doesn't make any sense at all. listen, my kid is thirteen years old. he is a he's a white boy. and you know what? the one thing that won't stop him is his work ethic. everything else i can't control. but i'll make sure he gets in there and does his work if he makes an eighty in the class. and that's as much as he earned . i'm proud of him. and we'll do with whatever we can with that. but the idea that his race or his gender is why he's held back , that's not going to happen. and it shouldn't happen. and it also shouldn't be . why he is promoted forward. i don't understand the thought process of reverse racism. is it racism or reverse gender discrimination? is it if you're going to go and subdivide people this way, you're telling them that's all that matters. and there's so much more to being a human being. >> there is . and kierra, we've got a dynamic here where it is kids of color in this school, the majority minority school. and this is about regardless of your complexion, it is about accomplishment and talent. and if you're gifted,

our nation needs those people in. >> most of us are average and regular and we love that. but we need these kids to know that that they can make a contribution. >> that special right. it's achievement that pushes us forward. and that really is the american spirit. and to reflect on the question that that jelly asked you, what is going on here? why why would they do this at the end of the day, i have to say, i think this is all the gospel of envy and it's really just anti-american. there is a subst section of this population who resent the mechanisms that have made america and what has made america so great. the concept of individualism, the concept of working, the concept of of working past and through our sins to create more success for more people. there are people that resent that and they think it needs to change. they hate america. i mean, i hate to sound

the eye of the tiger. welcome back to this special edition of "hannity". now to a story in "the washington post" that says animal shelters are bracing for more pet surrenders as the cost of owning a dog and a cat continue to rise. according to the article, 35% of pet owners in september said that they were concerned about the expense of having a pet in the current economy. it's just one of the many economic warning signs facing americans all across the country. but it's not stopping democrats from doubling down with more reckless spending. isn't that great? and more failed energy policies, as economist steve moore lays out, quote, american saw their wealth and savings take a big hit in 2020 two.

and it didn't happen by accident. citing the recent omnibus spending package, more climate mandates and a newly weaponized irs. to explain, economist steve moore and gop consultant aaron perini. steve , let me start with you. it's i think economically americans feel it every day, but in the long term, they don't realize exactly how much money is disappearing . and then they think on daily issues like how can i save some money? and then pet food goes up. right. things that besides gas, what do you think americans can expect to see? because you've got a great seven bloopers of the democrats ,the things they've done. and it's a great story at fox news.com to just increase the pain here. yeah, look, the average family has lost about forty five hundred dollars in purchasing power. and you're talking about four for the average family. that's a lot of money. by the way, i'm a dog owner. i love pets.

and dogs are expensive. you know, you've got to have an electric fence. you've got to have the fencing, you got the food. you got to pet, you know, somebody to take care of your pet when you're gone. and so it's an expense and it's really terrible news for american middle class families when some of them have to actually give up a family member, the pet, to pay their bills. i think that's a pretty sad commentary. don't you? >> it is . and it also, aaron, this what's difficult is that during covid a lot of people went and got their pet. the realization that there needed to be some kind of relationship and that they were missing that during the soviet period. and then the politicians come in and make it even more difficult to hang on to those individuals, which i consider pets. what is your take as we deal with the shelters and they're now warning us that this is going to be a big problem economically? >> absolutely. >> you know, democrats were more than happy to spend trillions of taxpayer dollars on their pet projects.

and who is being hurt most? the american people and pet owners. you know, barack obama was right about two things. elections have consequences. and never underestimate joe biden's ability to f something up and didn't do a great job f ing up the american economy here. we're seeing purchasing power going down. we're seeing families having to make a terrible decision between keeping their pet or not. and if you're in that hardship, if you're feeling that inflation pinch, you should consider a couple of things. one , consider if they're pet food banks that you can maybe get some pet food from to see if there's an opportunity to buy lower cost pet food. in your area. there's studies that show there's really a negligible difference in feeding your pet anything different in three , if you have the opportunity and you're worried about long term costs with a pet when it comes to maybe a catastrophic event, consider pet insurance a relatively affordable. but this is really all a direct result of the biden economy. that's something the american people and we just see it in case after case. and i cannot imagine how hard it would have to be to give up a pet at all. but to have felt like two years

ago you could do that and now you can't. it's a direct result of bad politicians in washington, dc. esteva goes down to every aspect of our lives. you note, of course, that the new omnibus bill adds into this struggle. it's like water to them. they have no consideration of the long term impact the money to ukraine that somebody figured that it would be hundreds of millions of dollars for every congressional district in america at the money that we've already spent on helping ukraine. what do you imagine the next year turning out to be economically? >> what can the americans expect another way, the best way to hurt, help ukraine? and we all love the freedom fighters there. and i hope that they defeat this evil russian war machine is for us to produce more energy. exactly. why don't we do that? we shut down our energy and the only beneficiary of that has been putin. i want to go on record tonight and say i don't care how bad things get to me, i'm not giving up my dog. >> yeah, yeah. i think.

aaron, great with you, aaron. great points, because we we shouldn't think that we that we we get afraid about the economy and we need to keep an eye on it. we need to make decisions. but living creatures that we have taken responsibility for, we've got to keep that at the highest level. and there are options. you don't need high end expensive food, right? i mean, and this is not going to be forever. this is about getting through that six months or a year. right, aaron? that's absolutely right. not every decision needs to be a forever decision that means being able to keep your pet in your home. that should be really the utmost importance. these are family members. i would be devastated if i had to give my dog up and i would do everything i could to keep it. people should consider if they need to feed them regular food for a short term until they find a way to bridge the gap until you can make it better so that it's more sustainable for you. but really, ultimately, it comes. >> hi, i'm mike huckabee, former governor of arkansas, and i'm here today to tell you about a hidden health crisis currently affecting nearly
