it's been a great week. i want to say thank you for joining us this week. hope you have a great weekend and a great memorial day weekend. jason chief it's, the name sounds familiar. he's in for sean hannity. [music] >> welcome to the special edition of candidate, i'm jason chief it's in for sean. tonight as lawmakers continue to negotiate on the debt ceiling, president biden is is enjoying some rest and relaxation at camp david. we know how hard the president is working. here with the very latest, kevin cork.>> still a breakthrough in negotiations on raising the debt ceiling but the white house is digging in

tonight with his opposition to gop calls for stronger work requirements to be included in any budget agreement that would be . with the debt ceiling increase. the issue of a work requirement has a barge for the biggest remaining hurdles for reaching an agreement between negotiators for the white house and house republicans. as a top gop negotiator is weighing in on this tonight, that's louisiana covers man garrett graves. he said tonight his party will not drop their demand for tougher work requirements as part of a final agreement. democrats have conversely argued listen, social benefit programs already work requirements in place. adding to them this is unnecessary. meanwhile, as you pointed out the president and his top advisers are over at camp david this weekend. working perhaps. assess june 5 deadline quickly approaches. jason, we will all be watching and i know you know a lot more about this and i do.

we've got a popcorn here in washington waiting. back to you. >> kevin cork, thank you. we will keep you posted if any deal has been reached. i could tell you been to these radios before i served in congress. this will happen closer to july 4th that it will june 1. that's my prediction. the 2024 race is heating up. republicans are battling for folks. in the democratic party president biden is fighting a much different battle. for joe every day is a struggle. >> i will proceed. i think i do know. i'm not could tell you. that will not be a smart thing to do. representative calhoun. i mean maccallum. >> i'm sure, my guess is look at a question about well, wait a ute. the american people aren't satisfied.>> swamp thing. for xample the ea in terms of

taxes that they refuse to, for example, was able to balance the budget and pass everything from the global warming bill. anyway. i was able to cut $1.7 billion in the first 2 years. the deficit that we were accumulating. angela reese, 40 $400 billion or $40 billion. $400 billion. we are the second gentleman. that sounds ridiculous. >> on both a personal and professional level, joe biden is an unmitigated disaster. once known as the dumbest member of the united states senate biden has only become worse with age. and now, according to cnn 66 percent of americans believe that a second biden term would be a disaster or a setback for the entire country.

watch this. >> horrible news. horrible for joe biden in our new cnn poll. while the president leads his democratic successor to the present the divided victory would either be a setback or a disaster for the united states. >> as they say, misery loves company. joe biden is in luck. virtually everyone in his administration from the vice president to the transportation secretary is deeply unpopular. even first lady, doctor jill biden struggles with likability. have a look. >> as i've traveled around the country i've visited red states and blue states. i found that the common values that unite us are deeper than our divisions. i thought you might clap for

that. >> wow. clearly the biden's have been in washington swamp for far to long. my next guest leaves he can send them packing. after criticizing biden's policies on linkedin, for vic while swami was locked out of his account. he is now accusing the big tech giant of censorship. joining us now with more, 2024 presidential candidate of for pet's sake whose joining us from iowa. the think thank you so much. i want to give first to the suppression. this s idea, linked in of all places? you got locked out of of linkedin and i read the comments that you it was hardly something that was controversial. it seemed to be more fact than something that was demonstrably false as they claim. >> that's the way i try to approach this campaign is on

hard facts. there were hard facts about private change policy. hard facts about biden's relationships with china. then i get locked out of my account. people start to text me and say i can't access myself. such an evil think it was a technical glitch. they came back and said it was inaccurate information. the team asked him what was inaccurate? they came back a double tenets had this violated their policies on hate speech, misinformation and violence. now, will move begin to publicize that i made that public. the started to get inquiries and linkedin backed off and said this is just an error on their part. this is on error. this is a viewpoint based censorship. if it can happen to me it's happening every day to americans across this country. to a platform where people use it to find jobs. what they're saying is you can't find a job unless you actually speak the orthodoxies they approve of and that is wrong. >> how do you fight back?

is it suppression of speech and these quote unquote mistakes. that was happen against conservatives. right? and never goes the other way. i'm not aware of a single case where goes the other way. the suppression, the censorship, how to fight back against that? >> i think one thing from a policy perspective is that we need to rollback section 230s c2. or we have to make it opt in statute. i have no interest in sewing linkedin. let's eighth happening to someone who couldn't get this reversed as quickly as i do and they wanted to suit linkedin. under state law. they would be able to because linkedin enjoys a special form of immunity. internet platforms that say they can't be sued even under state non-disco nation laws. my view is that the federal government gives you a special form of immunity and protection.they are to be bound by the same standards as the federal government itself. that includes the first amendment. if you want the special protections, great.

often, you get them. you're bound by the first amendment. if not you dockage of special protections than you could to operate as a true private company. i wrote about it and woke ink. as part of my presidential platform. that's part of how to secure internet freedom in this country. which i think is part of what it means to be an american. >> section 2:30 is up for reauthorization. the can't have it both ways. it was supposed to protect them as a level of liability against another person saying something and using the platform to simply pass it on. the supreme ourt has weighed in on this recently. they can't go in and do the actual suppression and election engineering themselves. that is a different topic. i've gotta move on. on a talk about jill biden. that poll that showed nearly 2 thirds of americans say it would be a isaster if he's

elected gain. i thank you and others see the vision of hate, this is the opportunity but, democrats seem to get away with never having to come out of their hiding spot and basement strategy. here we are in debt ceiling negotiations the president is not even doing a press conference. >> it makes more sense jason everything was going on. biden's cognitive deficits are not a bug to them. it's a feature to the managerial class. that puts them up as their puppet. he's more easily controllable by the people who are pulling the strings. the real puppet masters. if he has those cognitive deficits. their bed is that the country will go the same direction as in 2022 when there is a disappointed result for republicans. my views we have an opportunity to win 2024 in a landslide election. i think the selection i'm making it less about republicans or democrats.

whether you're pro-american. do you believe are the principles of this country and we fight for them? or are you fundamentally anti-american? kamala harris and joe biden fits that. if we do that i think we can deliver a landslide election like what reagan delivered in 1980. that's what i want to deliver 2024. he is literally a lot more than twice my age. i'm 37 years old. the first millennial ever to run for president as a republican. i'm confident if i get the nomination i will defeat joe biden and landslide and have a lot of fun with him on the debate stage. >> he was born in 1942 i believe you were born in 1985. that is a stark difference. he was first elected to the united states senate in 1972. it's hard to believe how long he's been there in office. i do think the chance for the republicans is to win the vote and coming with an actual mandate to actually move the ball forward with the legislative priorities.

vivek ramaswamy, good luck to you. thank you for joining us from iowa. i appreciate you joining us on hannity tonight. >> as it stands now trump leads the republican field by more than 30 points. second place florida governor ron desantis raised a whopping $8.2 million pony 4 hours after his unch. he's now attacking former president trump for running to the left. joining us s now with direction former senator and ambassador scott brown. wildwood democratic political strategist and mer senior advisor to president clinton, doug shown. jenna man, thank you for joining us tonight on hannity. senator/ambassador. one start with you. the danger would have a contested primary is that they beat each other up so bad there's so much contention by the time you get into the general election. somebody who is so such a big supporter won't go out and support the other. the democrat gets us 's gert

right through. >> as a playbook we see all the time. it happened in the last election cycle. there's plenty to talk about between trump and desantis and all the other candidates. i guess if you're going after president trump, i support him, i worked for the guy. he did some amazing things. when they come to the covid-19 issues and he was basically responsible for getting the vaccine in place which some people think is great. some people don't. he was basically felt it was his right-hand man. desantis and others will go after him. go on facts. the soul trumps in the left. are you kidding me? no he's not. people to that stuff out. they want to figure out what are you gonna do for our country? what are you gonna do about the border? what are you gonna do about fentanyl.inflation was 2 times higher than when i got home from new ceiling. same thing with gas. you can't make up a lack of standing wrote throughout the

world as you reference in your earlier segment.the apology tour. it's enough. the democrats have rfk junior problem. he is not going anywhere. don't forget joe biden is not on the ballot in the first in the nation primary state which is new hampshire. rfk junior will be coming out of the gate with the victory. we have 82 percent of the people in this country saying it's going in the wrong direction. the republicans need to figure it out. talk about the facts, talk about the issues and that's drive on. >> doug, your democrat. defendant democrat analysts to look as closely as republicans as anybody. what's your take? what you make of the desantis/trump head bashing? it started early. it started well before today. it's going to get even more fiery. >> i do agree with scott. for ron desantis to try to run to the right of donald trump given his strength with

conservative and very conservative voters is his strategy that is unlikely to succeed. indeed, what is happened in the last 6 months jason which we've all seen is trump has consolidated his position. with the attacks on him whether it be from prosecutors to media or desantis. he's gotten stronger, not weaker. i think santos especially with a very bad launch which was full of glitches and did not maximize his position. i think it's got a difficult, difficult mountain to climb to take on trump. right now i think trump is the odds on favorite. >> 'seditor, how do you see the tangibles versus the intangibles? there are things to get caught up in the polls. i've got to tell you, the people that believe and support donald trump. you ain't move in them.

they're not moving them. donald trump is so far out in front it feels like he's laughing people. how do you assess that? what you say going into the summer months? what could he possibly do to break that hat down if you're one of the competitors? >> the beauty of it is where the first in the nation primary state. licans are participating. i had nikki haley to y scott brown no bs barbecue. we had over former hundred people. i had 6 of the 18 present candidates and president trump and a car dealership with 3000 in a snowstorm. how do you get through this? i think it's early. i was down 41 points when it ran for the u.s. senate and one by 8 or 9. it's early. people are poking and prodding. yes, president trump has a rock solid base of 32 ã34 percent. there were others, obviously tim scott, nikki haley, vice

president pence. great ideas. they're coming to new hampshire. nikki haley was here had 6 events. she's been here many, many times. whoever comes here has to do with the new hampshire way. it's the old story, what you think about mitt romney?at the gates great. he did a great job in massachusetts. are you gonna vote for him? i need to see him 5 or 6 more times. that's what they needed new hampshire. it starts here. people are gonna weigh and measure all the things president trump has been hammered for. we sleep we all know about it. they will compare to the other people in the race. ultimately as you referenced earlier, if we don't come together after the fact we sulk and we moan and we groaned we don't get behind who the ultimate nobody is. we will have a repeat of what just happened. >> doug, let's go back to that pole. 66 percent of americans are saying it would be an

unmitigated disaster if joe biden were reelected. he's not on the ballot in the new hampshire primary. i guess he's banking strongly on south carolina. his strategy is not really paying off. if rfk junior with 20+ percent of the vote now? that's a big number for somebody who's just gotten into the race. >> jason, i agree the president has a very substantial vulnerabilities. a majority of democrats don't want him to run for reelection. i think rfk junior is a threat to get from 25 ã30 percent of the primary vote. that being said, i think it's important to note that in the head-to-head races with trump and desantis biden is either tied, slightly behind or slightly head. to count biden out would be a profound mistake. as a thank you and scott brown rightly pointed out. the more the republican field

finds and attacks one another the better it is for joe biden. >> yeah, it's good be fascinating as it plays out we will remind people that next week sean hannity will have a townhall coming up with donald trump. it will be fascinating want to watch. of course the debate on fox news that will happen in august. ambassador, senator, scott brown, they q so much. coming up jonathan turley weighs on on the whistleblower allegations coming from inside the irs. plus, damning text messages from hunter biden have just been unearthed. you're going to want to see them. full details after theheat' bre. p unlock humanity's full potential. these are the greats: people living with, thriving with — not held back by — disease. they motivate us to fight diabetes and obesity,

>> welcome back to the special addition of hannity. an irs whistleblower has reluctantly come forward with damning allegations about the doj's hunter biden case. i don't want to do any of this he said. still, he's coming forward because it's the right thing to do. just like that the media mob no longer reveres snowblowers. in fact, they're not trying to bury the story completely. watch. >> there is something personal thoughts affecting you. your son, while there's no ties to you could be charged by your department of justice. how will that impact your presidency? >> first of all my son has done nothing wrong. i trust him. i have faith in him. it attacks my pregnancy stomach presidency by make me feel proud of him. >> is legal team says he spoke to bipartisan from the ways and

means committee for 6 hours . here now with more is fox news contributor jonathan turley. jonathan, thank you. there's a lot that's very troubling about this case. he did come forward. he did do an interview. it was fascinating to hear what he said. what's your take on what's going on here? >> this is seismic. you have someone who was along serving irs agent. someone who is not a political appointee. who's going forward and say look, i've had enough. he said what he was in this position, what he saw with the hunter biden investigation, he had never seen with any other case. he said time and time again, decisions were made that uniformly benefited hetrick martin. that's troubling it gets even more troubling when he identifies the source of interference with the

investigation. and that is the justice department itself. he says it was a justice department. they had caused much of these concerns but, also ultimately it was a justice department the pulled the entire iris team off the case. that's worthy of investigation. we have now and expanding investigation into the influence peddling of the biden family. the house just released information showing the labyrinth of accounts and corporations used to transfer millions to biden family members. we now have heard from this whistleblower that possibly biden administration itself has been taking steps that benefit the president's son. that should be troubling to everyone. >> the lack of intellectual curiosity by the media is just not there.i find it interesting the white house makes the case that they will

not comment on this but, in a softball interview the president says about my sons done nothing wrong. signaling to the department of justice that my son has done nothing wrong. attorney general garland says there will be no interference but, you have a whistleblower who comes across as highly credible going on camera and now will be going before congress and testifying that they did suppress him. they did dismantle his team and that they did put pressure on him. boy, look how fast they went after george santos. they didn't have any trouble coming up with indictments on him. hunter biden, it's been years. >> that's right. this would explain why it's taken so long because this whistleblower says they intentionally slow walked investigation of the president's son. the response of the democrats to whistleblowers is troubling. i represented whistleblowers. these are people who come

forward and great risk including this individual. the democrats have had a scorched earth campaign targeting whistleblowers. the hearing in which they attack these fbi whistleblowers was breathtaking. they've attacked journalists who have come forward. just to highlight the censorship program. they question whether they were real journalists. the racket member of that subcommittee suggested one of the journalists should be arrested. this is turning into a sort of mccarthy -like period. i think the public doesn't support it. the public wants transparency. they believe corruption is something that should be investigated including influence peddling. i think this will be a very typical road for the democrats will the public is very unified saying they want these investigations to go forward. >> yeah, remember with the attorney general garland said that multipage warning to

whistleblowers about better make sure better make sure you check with your officers at the department of justice before you go see congress. that was so fundamentally totally wrong. but that on the list of other things that need to be rectified. professor turley, thank you. i appreciate you joining us. as the investigation into hunter continues, we are still learning more from his laptop. take a look at one text recovered by the daily mail. this is from jim biden. joe's brother to hunter. he writes, kamc i can work with your father alone. we as usual, as usual just need several months of his help for this to work. let's talk about it. maybe joe did know a thing or 2 about the family business after all. herewith reaction is the author of a new book, great book, the trial of the century from craig

¦ it's good stuff. fox news contributor sarah carter. thank you both for joining us. greg, every time we hear one of these text messages it just goes directly against this whole idea that joe biden, i heard them talk to peter ducey several times. i've never even had a conversation. come on. >> even a blind person jason can clearly see what's going on. joe biden was not only involved in his son's influence peddling with american foreign adversaries but, joe was the cornerstone of it. without him there were no viable schemes. he was also the beneficiary. 10 percent for the big guy you'll recall. that was the father according to hunter's business partner. the elder bryant didn't was identified as the big guy and a great many other documents the co-conspirators worked so hard to try to keep it a secret. another email warned don't into joe being involved.

they're paranoid. of course are paranoid. they didn't want to get caught. as you point out today we learn there's this text for the presidents brother jim to hunter. this could work. all the deals are still alive. i can work with your father alone. that was right after the new york times caught on to the enrichment schemes being run by the bidens which prompted joe to leave the infamous voicemail to a son, i thank you're in the clear. i read the online story. that voicemail puts a lie to the president's ludicrous claim as you point out. i knew nothing. i never spoke to my son about these multi-million-dollar deals. the reverse is true jason. the record shows joe biden as a billing participant. >> sarah, as craig mentioned, it was a 2018 new york times story which highlighted the

association between the bidens and this oil company out of china that was going to be some astronomical number, hughes match of deal. this email and good work by the delete mail for reminding us of what is in there. in 2 weeks after that article. >> right. itsy efc china energy. this was directly connected to the chinese government. obviously they didn't want hunter biden to be a part of their grand company because of his expertise in oil or his fluency in mandarin. much like paris's mom. they didn't have hunter biden on their board because he was so prominent in the world of gas and so studious in the world of energy. they wanted him because of his connections directly to his father who was then vice president. this is where this is very, very serious. it makes me wonder and am very

curious to this. how far back to joe biden's president connections go? even during his time in the senate? we can see right now, if there was a need analysis done by intelligence agency which show through all of these text messages. resources like toady bob linsky. the irs and their investigations. the special activities reports that were being put together the department of treasury. all of this adds up to one thing and one thing only. foreign adversary or forward nationstates were taking advantage and compromising the family, the biden family. all of those people connected to the bidens. what is so stunning and this is something greg just brought up. the fact that our fbi and regulus intelligence apparatus is completely hands-off in

investigating. what's makes matters worse is our own media has failed to do its job. even if the new york times reported on this they reported on it on the surface. then they buried it and they completely bury everything that is connected to the biden family. that's deeply concerning. it tells me that the white house is compromised. everything they tried to accuse president trump of, they themselves are guilty of such an egregious and dangerous way that it's put our nation's national security at risk. >> i think ultimately not only the enrichment of the biden family but the national intelligence applications are absolutely untold at this point in knee-deep investigation. sarah and greg thank you for joining us. i appreciate it. after needlessly inserting local politics into its branding, target, bud light, north face in the los angeles

edition of hannity. backlash is growing against multiple corporations for inserting woke politics into the marketplace. bud light sales continue to plummet. the company is trying to win back beer drinkers with a new ad for budweiser featuring harley davidson motorcycles. meanwhile, the group catholic vote is spending $1 million on an ad campaign calling for a boycott of the los angeles daughters. after they decided to honor, honor, a group of drag queens who mock nuns.

at least one investment firm has dropped targets stock in protest of the stores woke endeavors. unfortunately not all companies have gotten the message. take a look at the latest ad from north face. >> hi it's me patagonia grilled lights homosexual. today at home the north face. were here to invite you to come out in nature with us. this is nice. we like to call this little tour the summer of pride this tour has everything. hiking, community, lesbians, lesbians making art. >> here now with reaction, foxbusiness host, jackie deangelis and fox news contributor tammy bruce. thank you for joining us. jackie i want to start with you. the goal of these companies is to maximize shareholder value and drive sales but, i look at

this and i look at the public's reaction in general. i don't see, if i was a shareholder of these companies i'd be pretty fuming mad. >> let's start with the consumer. the consumer jason has a lot of power. they see ads like this or placement of products and stores in the case of target. they stop spending money. basically what happens is in the case of anheuser-busch and buds light, $16 billion plummet in market. that speaks right there. you've got this million-dollar boycott of the dodgers. that will hit the bottom line. they came to disney now it's fighting over it special tax status. shareholders, consumers, if they don't want to see this it's a capitalist society. copies can do whatever they want. if you think this messaging is important they can move forward. consumers and shareholders are going to tell them, were not gonna stand for it.

that etf that backed away from target if, the conservative etf we are to vesting our shares we are not going to support this kind o company. that pretty much says it all. i hadn't seen that north face ad. that's amazing. i'm not sure what any of that has to do with warm jackets and camping. >> tammy, what's this all about? what's your take? >> first of all it's embarrassing and thanks for having me on tonight. it's embarrassing. think most of the audience knows i'm a gay woman. i don't dress as a clown usually. i don't think i've dressed as a clown. i realize there's all kinds of different people in the world. lord knows i lived a marginal life myself. i like my life. what this does is it sends a message. it's kind of an extremist framework what pride was about is being able to be for yourselves absolutely.

within our community. working to make sure your neighbors and your family realize that gay people can work in a lot of different industries. where various different backgrounds. we have love lives and families and we have dreams for her future. was really about being left alone but being treated equally and fairly. now we've made tremendous progress. and now it's as though there has to be another step forward, another kind of push something for everyone to be a victim or some kind of new dynamic that indicates almost like an addict. once you have and reach a center point or wall you kind of have to go further. those kinds of ads really i think do damage to the gay and lesbian community. to the communities of minority sexual communities. to the transgender community. his pandering. it's extreme. it's not respecting the

audience in a sense. your conversation is correct in the sense of what companies should be able to do and would want to do. at the same time, maybe they're not used to how americans are quiet and while we might not be having riots and marshes that were gonna speak with the dollar when the economy is tight. to be very careful about where we spend money. it's not about homophobia. it's about everything being politicized. having political messages of any type being pushed onto us. none of us want that no matter what your sexual orientation or your race or your background. we are tired. we don't know what the future looks like. we don't know, our banquet account is empty. crime is rapid. this is not on our minds. the economy is. >> tammy, i appreciate you sharing that. i think assure that from your heart that i agree with it.

i do think it is a setback. jackie, when they go out and they gotta target our kids. literally target, going after kids. they're gonna mock religion? really? you can honor a group that mocks nuns? in the los angeles dodgers think that's going to help sell baseball tickets? what in the world? >> it's interesting. if the number going to baseball game. what do parents deal? they take their kids to baseball game. it's an outing together. that's not the kind of messaging that parents want their children to see. when a family walks into target and a shopping for different items they need. they don't want to have to explain jason, to their children by the bathing suit for women has an area to talk and what that's all about. that was a big fight in florida with respect to teaching these topics in school and having little kids learning about

things they shouldn't be learning about. i've been exposed to people that the parents don't want them to be exposed to. i think that's the issue and it comes to families. if you think about bud light and here at home in new york city and yankee stadium. people are staying away from bud light. they're not drinking it there. they don't like the messaging. they don't like what it stands for.they don't like the value system behind it. most of these people would say you're free to lift the kind of life you want to live. don't bring it into an arena whether children and these difficult conversations have to be had. >> if i could add it. even the parents might want that message. it's the parents business in the home for the parents to decide. >> well said. both of you. i thought that was a good conversation. i appreciate you joining us on hannity. jackie and tammy, thank you. the democrats crime crosses spiraling out of control. wait until you hear the stories. leah terrel and cara davis

addition of hannity. tonight, the democrats out-of-control crime crisis. it's only getting worse. los angeles has reinstated a controversial nobel policy after a judge ruled that holding those who cannot pay is unconstitutional. meanwhile, a chicago man whose sentence was commuted by president obama has been charged with 3 counts of attempted murder following a shooting last week. the crazed former hunter college professor who held a machete to a new york post reporter's neck has already been released from jail by a bronx judge.

after being charged with menacing and harassment. they had a machete to the guy's neck. that's menacing? in a disturbing story out of the state of washington. a 35 year old woman who allegedly told police she identifies as a 15-year-old boy has reportedly been arrested for sexting runaway teens. here with reaction, podcast host, cara davis fox news contributor, leo terrel.thank you for joining us. leo, i want start with you. what good is zero bail? why even bother going to jail? why not just have police officers write them tickets? they're going to be back out in the street and a couple of hours. >> what's good with it? it's no good. it's horrible. jason, this is a celebration for career criminals. the intent is misguided.

career criminals cannot go when every day and robbed a place. shoplift, drug use, vandalism. going there nokia served a day in jail. i want people to understand this. the democratic platform is protect the criminals ignore the victim. i'm tony right now. the only one benefits from zero bail our criminals. please say that professor on the east coast, you know why she's out right now? she had a machete next to the sky's neck. she disrupted a pro life display. you know why she's out because she's a democrat. she's a leftist. the democrats pander to the left. it's a double standard in this country and everyone knows it. >> cara, we have an actual picture of her holding and video holding a machete to somebody's neck and that's a quote unquote just menacing and harassment? she's overly out of jail after doing what she's done at the

college of what not? why is that not may be attempted murder. i don't know what the proper charges.that guy is moments away from losing his life if she extends her triceps and put that machete through his neck. >> yeah, and yet we've had people sitting in jail for years for a density of showing up on the capitol steps on january 6. i agree with leo. this is all politically motivated. it doesn't just put the citizens in danger with the system of law enforcement not working. it also serves to discourage a population. when we feel like we can't depend on our justice system. the electoral system is already under suspicion. that's created a lot of unease among americans. now, we can't depend on a justice system to do what it was designed to do. it's very demoralizing. that's what damn utopia is. it's a society without consequences. to them it's utopia.

in reality, it's help. >> why citizens should have to live and that fear is beyond me. people don't pay attention leo to these district attorney races and the sheriff races, guess what? this will continue. >> the power is in local government and the selected discretion by these soft on crime prosecutors appeared not to prosecute. here's the part that drives me nuts. give the 3 largest cities whereby people of color. you've got people of color throughout the cities in los angeles, chicago, san francisco. you know what they yell everyday?systemic racism. they are running the system. it's a game. it's all about power and control.if you accuse them of lying, you're gonna be canceled. you're the sellout. it's a game on the part of the democrats to maintain power. at the expense of destroying

our civilization, our cities, our states in these blue states. it's horrific. it's horrible and tough to live in california. >> yeah, people kinda pay attention. they gotta take this back. the good have to elect different people and those month to get under control. thank you both for joining us tonight. more the special addition of hannity, right after the break.

[narrator] why is aaron happy? well, just days ago, his old wheels gave out. but he knew carvana had his back. that's because carvana had tens of thousands of cars under $20,000. so aaron's folks could help him out with a sweet ride.
