through gates every day that have evangel christian academy over them, that doesn't mean that these kids don't fight that kind of temptation. so right, in the context of the show, we talk about drugs and we talk about how these kids are giving in to peer pressure and what the answer is. we also deal with a lot of grace with these kids, because if there's one thing that young people need to know is that adults really believe in them, right? and that we're not holier than thou, not now. or when we were their age and we were able, in our journey to find a god who could see us through, and they're going to find a god who can see them through as well. >> you're doing great things with these young men, great things in louisiana, and a great show on fox nation. god, family, football coach darren, thank you so much. all right. that's all for tonight. catch me on fox and friends weekend tomorrow morning or the will cain show every monday through thursday on fox news.

>> welcome to this special edition of hannity. i'm tammy bruce in for sean. hello, everyone. tonight trump will be sworn into office in less than a month. i love having to say that to you and not a moment too soon. joe biden has cemented his legacy as the most dishonest and disgraceful president in modern american history. his many decades in the washington swamp have been marked by one egregious lie after another. he almost makes bill clinton seem like an honest and decent guy. but joe's worst lie of all might be this claim from 2019 that joe made over and over again. >> watch this, mr. vice president, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? i have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. and what i will do is the same

thing we did in our administration. there will be an absolute wall between personal and private and the government. >> do you stand by your statement that you did not discuss any of your son's overseas business dealings? >> i stand by that statement. >> you know, that seemed unbelievable at the time. but now, as it turns out, joe and hunter were actually photographed together with many of hunter's international business partners over the years. and new tonight, with biden set to leave office, the national archives finally released more images showing then vice president biden on a 2013 trip to beijing with his son hunter. the father son duo were pictured rubbing shoulders with many of hunter's communist party linked chinese business associates, and there was even a photo with joe hunter and china's president xi jinping. america first legal sued for these images to be released from the national archives, but

for some reason, attorneys for both biden and obama you can't make it up reportedly took legal action to delay their release until after the election. joining us now with more the incoming white house deputy chief of staff, which is another fabulous sentence. stephen miller, who led the effort to uncover these images. stephen, the fact that you had to sue the national archives belonged to the american people. they keep material that are relevant to this nation and the direction of the country, and what our supposed leaders are doing to this nation. you had to sue to get these released. now they're out. tell me about what that process was like. >> yes. this is really outrageous. >> it's astonishing. as you said, the national archives are the archives of the nation. these records belong to the american people. >> my organization, america

first legal. and of course, i'm leaving to go and be the deputy chief of staff for policy for president trump in the white house. had to sue the federal government, had to sue the national archives to get these records that prove that joe biden lied to the american people and the national archives colluding with lawyers for biden and obama, refused to hand over these records until after the election, because they knew how damning they were, how damning they were to the credibility of this administration and to the media that concealed and covered up for this administration. this is the same national archives team that created the illegal pretext for the fbi to raid mar-a-lago, the home and the private club of the 45th and 47th president. the national archives is corrupt, the doj is corrupt, and every day brings more evidence of that corruption. and so when we come into office in january, we are

going to reform the federal government. so this weaponization, these partizan abuses, these sabotaging and attacks on our democracy. >> and, you know, what's interesting is in the scheme of things, this is a few photographs, right? lots of conversation, but the rot is so significant and so deep that they'll even go to bat to stop the photographs. and but what else that tells us, stephen, obviously, is that they know this wasn't some mistake and joe wasn't lying to everybody and people knew about it. and or if they didn't, they learned about it and their knee jerk go to reaction was to collude and hide. and for biden's lie, when it's as though we've been completely forgotten when president trump talks about, you know, the forgotten man and woman, it's the forgotten country at this point.

>> how often, tammy, how often in life do you get photographic documentary evidence that proves that the president, in this case, joe biden, lied, that proves a government conspiracy, that proves a media conspiracy. we have the actual photographs proving that joe biden met with hunter's business partners, met with high ranking officials in china with hunter biden for no legitimate government purpose whatsoever. and there was a massive effort to keep these photos from the american people before the election. how much evidence is stacked up of the ways the permanent bureaucracy in washington has tried to keep president trump from returning to the oval office, and yet he won. yet he won a landslide. and yet he will return because the american people are sick of a government, as you say, that has forgotten them. and i will go further. a government that has betrayed them. >> well, you see that that's

the key here. and it seems to be systemic now. and this is my concern. and i'm wondering now that you're going back into the white house. it wasn't just about hunter, right? this is a symptom. and it's not just china, but china, i would say is our biggest geopolitical enemy at this point. and what they aim to do, we have we're going to be talking about little later. the chinese spy balloons. you know, how far how deep does this go? and is that going to be part of the agenda of what the new administration is going to be looking into? >> well, the last eight years, starting with comey and russiagate and everything that's happened since then has demonstrated that it goes very far and very deep. there is indeed an unelected, permanent federal bureaucracy, particularly concentrated in the in the department of justice, the fbi, the intelligence community, and now also the national archives that believes that its agenda is

superior to the will of the american people and the american voter. and this election, this thunderous historic electoral college and popular vote landslide that took place in november is a mandate for many things a mandate to seal the border shut. a mandate to open up american energy to defeat inflation. but it is also a mandate to defeat the deep state and make every facet of this government truly accountable to the american people and to the president that they elect to serve and represent them. >> well. you know, this is steven. thank you. this is the magnificence of that election that the american people are who we believe them to be, which are revolutionaries and courageous, and that we're not giving it up, not by a long shot. but this is the mandate, because it is that deep state that is really the core of the problem that allows all the rest of this to grow and infect this nation. stephen miller, great job with this. thank you

so much and congratulations, and we look forward to the work you do. coming up now, the big question tonight is how did hunter sketchy business deals in china impact his father's policy as vice president and of course, president. we know that biden commuted the sentences of two chinese spies during a november prisoner swap. i swap i think you probably heard about that, but there wasn't a lot of discussion about it. now, we know that biden tried to conceal china's 2023 spy balloon from the american people. we can't forget that, even as it used a us internet provider to transmit sensitive data back to china. and we know that biden pardoned his son. of course, for any and all potential crimes over a very specific 11 year period, which includes hunter's business deals, of course, in china. here now with more legal fox

news legal analyst gregg jarrett, along with federalist correspondent brianna lyman. greg, you've literally written the book on the nature of the corruption of the government, the attacks on president trump, the nature of what it's willing to do. and here now and it's kind of eking out. and now we can kind of put the pieces together of a puzzle that we knew mattered. how significant is this when we think about this back and forth, that it appears like there was a back and forth between biden and china? >> yeah. you know, whenever joe biden does something highly beneficial to the chinese and these commutations clearly were, that his motivations are suspect. you know, joe biden is compromised by his own suspected involvement in his son's china gravy train that netted some $5 million to the biden family. congress found the receipts. they found the wire transfers, the bank accounts, not to mention all

the shell companies that were used. is it any wonder that the father gifted his son this unprecedented blanket pardon for everything he did for 11 years? total immunity for things like money laundering, foreign lobbying, crimes, violation of the foreign corrupt practices act, bribery, conspiracy, the list goes on. and the paper trail. tammy tells the story of what i think is the most audacious, influence peddling racket ever in american history, the magnitude of which we've never seen before in the sheer dollar numbers. and the evidence is compelling that joe biden played a pivotal role. i called him in my columns. the closer he made, the deals happen. so commuting sentences for the chinese that fits the self-dealing pattern of joe biden? >> yeah. no, brianna, this is one of the issues. of course,

we ultimately find out the truth, but the presidency and the american government relies on legitimacy, on the believability and the trust that we put in it to not betray us, that we're not there. commode, that this is a much bigger issue. do you think that that kind of eats away at the nature of whether or not the american people take our government seriously beyond joe biden? because it should matter. we need to be able to trust our president. perhaps that's part of the statement that this last election made. >> absolutely. >> and we're talking about china. >> so it's only fair. we mentioned the recent report from nbc about the chinese spy balloon. and while it's great that we talk about the details of the updates to that story, what it really does is it underscores just how untrustworthy the biden-harris administration and the intelligence community has been, because, remember, they spent, you know, weeks telling us that this was a weather

balloon, that there was nothing to be concerned about because they were trying to gaslight the american people and conceal the fact that they allowed our foreign adversary to fly a spy balloon over the country for days with no repercussions. and then they tried to conceal it from congress and the american people. so these types of stories should really underscore why people shouldn't not only trust the intelligence communities, but the biden-harris administration, especially with the backdrop of all these drone stories. you know, if they're willing to lie about lie to us about all these other things, what else are they going to do? >> you know, they never thought you guys that we would be back in charge, that the regulars, the normals would be back in charge. they just thought that they would get away with this because they saw that spy balloon. we know when it launched out of china, i believe, and they watched it come around to the islands and across to alaska. and they knew they knew it. and then they let it traverse the entire country. you know, greg, when we think about the corruption in this regard, and i mentioned that stephen miller in the previous

segment is that it's not just joe biden, as you've talked about, it's the swamp. it's this entire dynamic. do you think with the agenda that we've heard spoken about by donald trump and the things he's pledged, is it possible to really and with doge and all of this, is there a way to really buy into this, this pit of corruption that we're dealing with? >> well, even if you expose, let's say, half of it, it's going to be earth shattering, shocking, breathtaking to the american public. and we need to get to the bottom of the balloon scandal. i mean, it underscores, doesn't it, tammy, the utter contempt that the chinese have for our weak president? or is it the hold that they have over joe biden because of his son's influence peddling racket? i mean, take your pick. but one thing's for sure biden never tried to punish china or hold its government accountable for such

aggressive spycraft, the white house claims. oh, don't worry about it. we were able to protect sensitive sites on the ground and we stopped any signals intelligence collection by the chinese. do you believe it? i don't for a minute. it sounds like a classic joe biden cover up. but why did it happen in the first place? trump would never have tolerated or tolerated such an intrusion, and i hope when he gets into office again, he declassifies the whole humiliating episode. it'll be more exposure of the deep state and their cover up. >> you know, that's a great idea. i'll give you the last word here. that is a good idea in the sense that the president has already talked about wanting to open up files regarding the john f kennedy assassination, the robert f kennedy assassination. i would put in there martin luther king jr assassination. that would be important as well. his the attempts against him, but also these very bizarre events like

the chinese spy balloon. what occurred, what was the intelligence community doing? do you think that would be valuable? >> absolutely. donald trump can give the biden administration a masterclass. in what? being the administration of truth and transparency actually means. and it starts with declassifying all of these documents and more, and also giving more accountability or having more accountability in the white house. you know, joe biden, it wasn't just that china had contempt for him. joe biden had contempt for the american people because he didn't mind gaslighting us and lying to our face to try and conceal a massive scandal. >> yeah. that's it. you know, this all goes down to it, greg, you mentioned it. this is about betrayal. it's about the nature of what if that's the guy that they put as president, the democratic party. and then kamala, this is really the attitude, i think, of the entire democratic party. and this has got to be exposed completely for what it is. greg. brianna, great job. thank you for joining me right after

christmas here. i appreciate it. thank you very much. coming up, victims families and even one prominent democrat blast joe biden's disgraceful commutations. plus, the country has had enough of the left's lawlessness. finally, we'll get reaction from senator marsha blackburn, larry elder and chris cooper next on this special edition of hannity. >> doctors recommend cole's stool softener for gentle, dependable relief from constipation. it's so gentle. doctors even recommended during pregnancy and after surgery. cole's increases water in the stool, making it softer so it's easier to go. no harsh laxatives, cramping, or straining. cole's. >> that's $225 for the night. >> not bad. >> $155 for the night. how it's easy when you know where to look. >> trivago compares hotel prices from hundreds of sites so you can save up to 40%. hotel trivago i'm sorry to bother you, but i have 30s to give you a very important

>> welcome back to this special edition of hannity. in one of his final acts as president. just shameful. joe biden spared the life of almost every single federal death row inmate by commuting their life. their sentence, which was a death sentence, obviously, to life in prison. these are some of the worst, most violent criminals on earth. for example, two men

who biden spared pled guilty to murdering a 19 year old college student named samantha burns after kidnaping her from a west virginia mall. she was at a mall during a crime spree that began when they escaped from prison. west virginia senator joe manchin spoke out on their commutations, calling them misguided and insulting. and he's not the only one. because, you know, regular human beings are shocked. the father of a woman who was drowned in a lake by a violent killer pointed out that the timing of the commutations was another slap in the face. now, remember, biden announced his clemency plans right before the holidays. how kind. here, now, with us and for more is tennessee senator marsha blackburn. senator, thank you for joining us. in these days after christmas, as we head into the new year, as hanukkah continues on, as well for the jewish community. and i think that father's utterance here

about the timing, it says everything because joe biden's president until january 20th. god help us. but he could have done this in the first week or the second week of january. but instead, he ruins christmas and hanukkah. whatever. people are celebrating the end of the year for these families, which of course, has been they've been suffering ever since they lost their loved ones. >> you're exactly right, tammy. they are suffering every day, and they grieve every day. joe biden has shown a complete disrespect for the rule of law, for judges and juries. and as we were discussing, for victims and their families, and what he has done is try to make criminals into victims. and one of the things i think is so interesting about this passel of commutations that he pushed

through is merrick garland reviewed all of them, joe biden and merrick garland decided that they would not grant commutations to the boston bomber, the synagogue shooter, or the mother emanuel shooting. now i wonder why it was they left out those three heinous, horrible crimes. is it because those were elevated to national attention? and did he think that he think that samantha burns and the others, the children, the mothers, the military officers that were killed, that he could get by with those commutations? i find this vile. i find it disgusting. and what we are learning about joe biden and

this disregard for the rule of law and this move that this administration has had for four years, they have worked overtime to make illegal legal. they have worked overtime to say it's not the criminals fault, maybe it's the victim's fault, maybe it's law enforcement fault. i have to say, is one of the reasons the american people have had it. >> yeah, there's two things he's mentioned. first, that they they didn't want to commute sentences of people who had committed hate crimes. and one of my arguments against the hate crime legislation is in order to accomplish this, you have to elevate certain kinds of hate or feelings against certain kinds of people and deflate, eliminate, lower the impact or the seriousness of the murder of other kinds of

people. but we know that all murders, all involve hate of one type or another. and this becomes an ideological kind of an ideological infection of the justice system itself. but i'd like your comments on his his remarks about essentially that he did this because he didn't want the trump administration to undo his work in a moratorium on the federal death penalty. but isn't it true that it's not about joe biden's work or donald trump's work? this was the work of a judge and a jury and a community and families and everyone involved in the dynamic of what happened and the terror that they all continue to live with the families, but those who found bodies and who knew them and were best friends and for the community that will never have those children or the grandchildren. and yet it makes

it about him and that or about president trump, when in fact, who you know, it's a jury that suffered over making this decision and said that deserves the death penalty. >> indeed, he has shown that disrespect, as i said, for judges, for juries, for the rule of law, for the victims, for these communities, for the survivors of these crimes, those that are left to grieve every single day. but tammy joe has tried to make this administration all about him and not about the american people. and we see this repeatedly. and in this move with these commutations, with these more than 1500 pardons that he has dished out, we are seeing it yet again. this administration has practiced two tiers of justice from day one, and they are going to go

out the door with two tiers of justice being one of the hallmarks. i think this is one of the reasons that joe biden will be remembered as one of the worst presidents ever to sit in the oval office, and it is why the american people, like a tennessean i ran into today going to the grocery store, this guy was a democrat, and he said, marsha, i hope we get joe biden out of there before he does much more. that is going to hurt us. and i think that's where the american people are, and we're looking forward to having president donald trump and having pam bondi at the at the department of justice. and i'm so glad mitch mcconnell stopped merrick garland from going on the supreme court. when you think about an attorney general who would allow joe biden to do these commutations. yeah,

indeed. >> i mean, we've a lot has been changed now, just this one election. the american people have made a huge statement. and it's not just joe biden. he's a reflection of the party itself. senator blackburn, thank you so much. thank you. and i hope you had a merry christmas. i'm sure you did. thanks for being with me. now, the left's obsession with being soft on crime well always ends with the same tragic result. just look at new york city. even the atlantic, which is one of the most liberal magazines in the entire country, is now openly declaring that new york has, quote, lost control of crime. well, the shocking admission comes after a series of gruesome subway attacks in recent days and new data that shows a sharp increase in subway crime this year. ten people have been murdered on new york city subway trains alone, which is almost double the pre-pandemic rate. of course, governor kathy hochul thinks everything is a-okay and posted a message on x about how

much she has done to fight subway crime just hours after a woman was burned alive on a subway train. so now it will be up to the people of new york to fight back and save their city. let's hope they do. just like california voters did in november when they passed a state proposition reinstating penalties for stealing and drug dealing. so i guess that was an experiment that failed here. now, with more r, former presidential candidate larry elder and project 21 chairman horace cooper. gentlemen, thank you for being here tonight, larry. you know, californian i'm a native californian. and it's a beautiful state. it's worth saving. it took years, though, for californians to say, wait a minute. what? you know, we see the results of lowering penalties for crime and having to reinstate it themselves through the ballot box. is this a one off, or do you think this is a change that

can continue? >> tammy, thank you for having me. horace. nice to see you. i think something profoundly deep is happening here in california. the proposition 36 that you're talking about was opposed by gavin newsom. kamala harris wouldn't say how she voted one way or the other on it. the l.a. times opposed it. california has 58 counties. every single one of them passed proposition 36, which essentially gutted 47. and, as you pointed out, put back into the penalties for shoplifting and for and for drug dealing. also, the soft on crime mayor of oakland has been recalled the soft on crime mayor of san francisco was defeated in reelection. so something profound profound is going on here in california. it turns out that when you decrease the chances of a bad guy being caught being convicted and being incarcerated, crime goes up. they may be criminals, but they're not stupid. >> yeah. and this is it's remarkable because we have george gascon was also

defeated. this was it took for me a little bit too long, horace cooper. but, you know, californians, democrats. right. this is not you don't need to be a conservative to want your family to be safe in schools or on the street, or to not want your your neighbors, your fellow state citizens to be sleeping in tents on the street. because this is more than california, right? this is whether it's biden and kamala harris and the crime initiatives. this is really about a party that has led them down a road that nobody really wants in so many states. >> make no mistake, the ultra woke warriors are behind the whole mission to allow an open season on innocent americans. when innocent americans, whether black, brown or white, are asked, what should we do? they want more law enforcement

and they want greater punishment. any microeconomics professor will tell you if you want more of a particular human behavior rewarded. if you want less of that behavior, sanction it. i'm asking the governor of new york fire, alvin bragg, put someone in place who is going to say to people, if you think you can go out on the subway and light a fire and just kill at random, this isn't the town to do it. as you pointed out in your opening remarks there at a 25 year high in deaths on the subway coming up from where we had been for nearly 30 years, less than half of that, any number of deaths is too many. but we're headed in the wrong

direction. new york state needs to bring back the ultimate penalty. that's the what i want president donald trump to do bring back accountability. let's make sure california, new york and chicago stop these criminal predators in their tracks. >> look, all americans, we love these cities. chicago is a great city. new york is los angeles, san francisco. we can't let them destroy the heritage and the legacy of this country. gentlemen, we got a lot of work to do coming up, but i think we're up for it. thank you very much for joining me. i appreciate it. now is it's business as usual for the media mob as donald trump gears up for a second term. riley gaines, joe concha and leo terrell. not that they have opinions. join us. coming up next here on a special edition of hannity. >> old regular makeup can go on thick and cakey, accentuating

sirius xm anytime, anywhere. fox news audio on sirius xm america is listening. >> welcome back to this special edition of hannity, the media mob. guess what? still has not learned their lesson from the election. here's cnn giving some very questionable advice to the ailing democratic party. >> i think the eye is really important, but the reason why the eye is important is because it's going to make america more competitive, and we're going to be able to go out into the world and win and keep our companies as competitive as possible. that's not really a progressive argument, but it is an argument that includes every american, which is what democrats stand for. >> the people actually, that they should be listening to bernie sanders and stacey abrams. those are the two people who have been very consistent and very in touch with the american public that have been related to the democratic party. those are the people that are going to help pick the leadership of the democratic party, or at the very least, should be helping to pick the leadership of the

democratic party as we move forward into this next election cycle. >> yeah, well, they should just keep going with that advice because it's very, very bad for them. unfortunately, this is par for the course for the mainstream media. for example, according to last week's mrc study, the broadcast network's coverage of donald trump's cabinet picks has been 96% negative or whatever. but at the same time, polling shows that a majority of americans approve of the president elect's transition and believe that he will do a good job in his second term, all while donald trump's favorability rating reaches a seven year high. keep in mind, that's after everything the media and that the swamp did to him. he's more popular than ever here. now, with reaction gains for girls podcast host riley gaines, you know her well and fox news contributor joe concha and leo terrell, they never have any opinions. i'm going to have to drag it out of them. riley, i do want to start with you because, you know, we're

looking at it's almost like mass hysteria that they lost an election. there was a statement about what we wanted and what we didn't. your work is based in what we don't want, which is we don't want biological men in women's sports. it's an issue of fairness. and yet they don't they the dei. it's like saying, oh, it's going to make us more competitive. how does not hiring people on merit make you more competitive? how how do you respond to this refusal to acknowledge the reality of our situation? >> yeah. well, it's very good to be with you, tammy. >> look, dei does not stand for diversity, equity and inclusion. it stands for discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination. and so to watch this, and i think it's important to mention too, that the two democrats that they that they named to be able to follow and to take advice from was stacey abrams, a two time loser and runs for georgia governor and the 83 year old socialist that is bernie

sanders. so i mean, did they learn nothing on november 5th? i certainly believe, and i've said this many times, even on on hannity's show before, i believe people turned up to the polls to embrace donald trump, to embrace his cabinet picks, to embrace the america first agenda. but but more so, i believe, that people turned out to the polls to reject absurdity. and that is exactly what the democratic party has become, allowing men and women sports, believing that men can become pregnant and that they can breastfeed. the whole idea of referring to latino individuals as latinx democrats have lost the ability to communicate with common sense, everyday americans. >> yes. and the good news is like but others have been out there to point that out and to provide the example of the opposite. like yourself, joe, joe, concha, you look at the media all the time, but you're also an analyst. you see the nature of what is going on here. what's your thought on this, this refusal to embrace the truth? >> well, the 45th and future 47th president, tammy won the

popular vote, won the electoral vote in a landslide. >> his party won back the senate. they held the house. 48 of 50 states went more red than blue, yet nearly 100% of the coverage of the trump transition is negative. i mean, that's 31 flavors of idiocy. i mean, our legacy media, tammy has learned nothing. you know why? because they choose to learn nothing. most of our media only exists to serve at the pleasure of the democrat party. there will be no come to jesus moment only continued come to, you know, soros moments, i guess donald trump or anyone who doesn't have a d next to their name will never get a fair shake. cnn, msnbc, new york times, washington post, pbs, cbs, nbc. you know, pick your acronym. they will never change as long as their so-called talent and management stays the same. these are activists, not journalists. and they will. they'll go down with the ship before they ever change or apologize. so that's

where we're at at this point. >> the good news is the good news is, is that it didn't work. they did this now for eight years against donald trump. and then the only positive for biden, with the exception of after afghanistan, which the debacle of that was just horrible. leo. what what joe describes it didn't work. in fact, it had the opposite effect. what do you think that means? >> well, it tells me this, tammy, based on everything you just talked about, what joe said and what riley said, the democrats and the leftists are going to continue. they do not want trump to succeed. they want him to fail. i will tell you this without any doubt. expect them to attack, attack, attack. they don't care about saving or preserving or making america great. they want to destroy america so they will never find anything good in president trump. president trump was very clear what he wanted to do. secure the border. the democrats are against it. he wants law and order. the democrats are against it. he wants to eliminate dnc. the democrats

want are opposed to that. the people voted and spoke on november 5th, and the democrats and the left wing media basically got their hands over their eyes and hands over their ears. they don't care. they will go after trump. but i'll tell you this. trump is going to succeed because he focuses on the needs of americans, not the elite. >> you know? that's right. i mean, this is your you're completely correct. if people are waiting for the left to have an epiphany, some kind of, you know, come to jesus moment, it's not going to happen. and it's clear we have to recognize that, and i think we're ready for it. riley. joe, leo, thank you very much. great job, and i hope you all had a merry christmas. now. thank you. and coming up, biden fails, of course, to deliver on another promise for the american people. we'll get reaction from kyra davis and deroy murdock. stay right here. next. coming up on this special edition of hannity.

>> throw that ball, diane, you got this. >> welcome back to this special edition of hannity. president biden's latest broken promise there are so many may be his worst yet. remember when he promised to build the economy from the middle out and the bottom up? >> together we build an economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top down. my vision has always been, and i mean this sincerely since i was a young senator, to grow our economy from the middle out and the bottom up instead of the top down. i came to office determined to uphold the duty to care and get us through one of the toughest periods in our nation's history. and we have. building the future of american possibilities. building an economy from the middle out and the bottom up. not just the top down. when the middle grows, the bottom has a chance, the

poor have an opportunity, and the wealthy still do very well. >> well, what an embarrassment for this nation. well, joe is leaving office, and this year the united states saw an 18% rise in homelessness. and that's not all. the amount of first time home buyers has hit a record low under biden, as the rising cost of living, especially housing, continues to hurt americans. meanwhile, the wealthy are dominating the housing market, with all cash purchases rising across the country. and if you still believe biden's bogus promise, the state of california, which most closely resembles the president's policies, has the highest child poverty rate in the nation. here now with reaction podcast host kiera davis and fox news contributor deroy murdock. kiera, a lot of your work has been about kids and advocating for children as a parent, and the nature of knowing what's happening in

california is one thing, but they continue to claim that what they're doing is best. and yet, how does that translate into the highest poverty? the child poverty rate in the country? >> well, happy new year to you, tammy. it's really good to be here with you. i want to point out the obvious here, especially especially here in california, we're a border state. so we're talking about issues of child poverty, feeding children, making sure that all of our neighbors are cared for. but if we don't talk about the root problem, these are all useless discussions. california is a border state. we're not going to solve childhood poverty until we close the border, until we solve rising crime. but i want to look at something larger here. tammy, you're talking about homeownership. you're talking about the american dream. and the american dream is to own property. owning property is a huge leg of the stool that holds up liberty, and it is really the most revolutionary part of our revolution. and american

liberty is a real thorn in the side of a world that is addicted to bondage. and property is a key to that liberty. i don't think it's a mistake that you are seeing individual property ownership be depressed. even as we deal with things like childhood poverty and homelessness across all the spectrum, it feels like a concerted effort, like we've been the frogs boiling in the water for all this time. so hopefully we're about to turn the page on that. yeah. >> you know, it's like every piece leads into the other part of the problem. like it all feeds into each other. and deroy here is a great points about liberty. right. you're not really free if you're reliant on the government. if you don't have that freedom of property which is the key. and yet, you know, people are using apparently all cash to buy homes because they've got the money to do so, because they want to avoid the high mortgage rates by just buying them

outright, leaving behind everyone else who might need to take out a loan. and so the inventory goes down, is this seems to be something that's got to be at the core of what we do to make america great again. >> yeah, absolutely. right about that. you know, we have a number of compounding problems. one is by inflation, you know, we've seen prices go up for gasoline, for food for you name it. also true in housing, the average home cost around $270,000 five years ago. now it's about 405,000. that's up 50%. at the same time, interest rates have gone up from around 3.7 to about six and a half, 7% now. and so it's become more expensive to try to get a 30 year loan. and because it's so high, a lot of people who have the lower loans don't want to leave and get another house because, you know, they're paying a decent rate now, so why leave? therefore, that ties up the inventory. there are fewer houses available that keeps prices high, and on and on it goes. so as you say, it's just one problem feeding into another problem into another problem. and it leads to an even tougher ability for people

to achieve that part of the american dream as as hard as they might try to do so, you know? >> and it goes back into this when we think about general inflation, right. his whole economic idea. but everybody gets strapped because of the cost of energy, gasoline, rent, beyond owning a home. that and food. so you're trying to keep up. and then his energy policies continue to bury all of us because that leads into more inflation. >> it's shrinking. this is a shrinking of the american dream. and it's been absolutely deliberate. all of these things are deliberate, reducing our our our dependance on ourselves for energy, reducing the opportunity to own homes, reducing education levels. we've been having this debate today. all of this goes together. we have been under duress for the last four years, as has the american dream been. america is not just a country of law and order. america is an idea. and our idea has been

under duress for these years, these past four years. so hopefully we're turning the page. >> it's going to be changing, i think, very dramatically. so kira deroy, great job. thank you. and merry christmas. now more of this special edition of hannity. stay right there after the break. >> to light up our new year with lab diamonds 40% off. the jewelry exchange has three carat studs or solitaires. 1994 karat, 2496 carat, 3990 25 carat bracelets 10,000 by factory direct. the jewelry exchange. >> get the love back. >> okay. go get. >> he's breathing. >> okay. when i saw that ethan was not breathing, i determined that i needed to use something to remove the obstruction from his airway. >> it's very important for every household to have a life vest. >> everyone should have one in their home. >> anything can happen at any moment. i want my friends and family and people that i serve
