what does the hugh hewitt relationship do for you?> mostly the same in the way that he just talked about president nixon. he was one of my closest friends and mentors. he taught me a lot about not only nonprofit management but media and communications, events, how to get things done. hugh has an amazing ability to get things done and think strategically. like i said earlier, i am able to absorb these things through osmosis, i believe. susan: the board as you mentioned. as you look on the website, he was a frequent moderator of events. will he be continuing in that role or will you be doing that? pres. byron: as he said, jim, you are the boss now. but he said he will do anything to support us and support the success of the foundation. i am going to take advantage of it. >> who is on that board? pres. byron: dr. jim cavanaugh. a brilliant mind. he got his start at hew in the late 1960's. he was brought over to the domestic counsel and ended up running health care policy. he played a major role in the nixon national conference. he is jus

so here is moderator hugh hewitt.very simple question to answer. but here is just some of what we heard in the long rambling answers. >> in your opinion did president biden win the constitutional majority of the electoral college. if no, would you explain which states are in dispute. >> i can't know what i don't know. i think we have to take that attitude towards 2020. >> i can tell you the last time chicago has had a perfectly free and fair election. so this is not a new problem. it is not unique to 2020. >> i don't believe there was voter fraud at a massive scale across this country. can i pinpoint the evidence? no, absolutely not. i'm not privy to the scheme. >> what i would say is i don't think the election was fair, but i do think we have the results that we have. each state does their own deal. i'm not a big fan of how it played out. >> to follow up, did president biden win? >> he was certified by congress as having won the electoral college. >> he was certified. she couldn't bring herself to say yes. and that f

sunday on hewitt i -- q&a, joshua prager talks about the complicated life and times of norma mccorvey, a.k.a. jane roe, the woman behind the case, and the impact her actions had on her and her three daughters. her life is such a mirror, a window into this whole big thing of abortion in america. the pro-life wish to say, aha, look at her and look at the cost of abortion. but you never had an abortion. she is a fascinating testimony to the cost of adoption. she struggled enormously emotionally what it does with what it meant to have relinquished her three children -- was what is meant to have relinquished her three children to adopt loan -- to adoption. you can listen to q&a and all of our podcasts on our new c-span now i. -- at. -- app.

keep in mind this is jimmy's words, he definitely has a chance to play on sunday when the 9ers host hewitt on. if the 49ers can clinch a playoff spot if they win and new orleans loses. >>> it could be your chance to be a millionaire. no one won the powerball. next, how much of jackpot grew and when you'll have your next chance to win. >>> happening now, though, the number of travelers attempting to pass through airport security checkpoints with firearms hit new records in 2021. the tsa stopped travelers carrying nearly 6,000 guns since the start of 2021. 85% of those were loaded. this is the highest since the tsa began tracking those numbers nearly 20 years ago. the surge in guns comes even as travel demand remains about 25% below the prepandemic pace of 2019. we'll be back after the break. >>> welcome back. you're watching nbc bay area news. this is a photo our kris sanchez shared on instagram. a parking meter wrapped in a knit scarf. you can keep up with kris on instagram, twitter and facebook. >>> no winner in last night's powerball drawing. the numbers last night were 2, 6, 9, 33, 39 a

and mail handler amos hewitt says the russian doesn't end at the holidays.lots of people by and return items after the new year, so we're still busy in january february as well as march. hewitt works at the half a million square foot usps processing and distribution facility in dulles, virginia. one of the postal service's larger hubs in the nation facility usually handles about 100,000 packages a day. but during the holidays that increases by about 30% we do all the regular christmas cards and letters and bills and all that kind of stuff keeps moving all your first class mail. but the big surge this time of year really is the packages. usps says 20 twenties holiday season was bumpy. as covid caused online shopping to become even more essential, causing a huge spike in shipments. usps spent this year upgrading its mail sorting machines nationwide, they say that allows them to process mail up to 12 times faster this holiday season with the new machines in 112 around the country, we've actually increased our capacity by about 13 million pieces of day, but we c

and here is some of what happened today, dan, when hugh hewitt asked that same question to republicanot believe he won. i think trump won. um, i think michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, georgia, all of those states need to be fully investigated and none of them have. >> josh, there is no evidence for that that has been adduced in a court of law. >> what i am talking about is not a court of law but actually doing what they did in arizona. >> who happened in arizona? because i'm unaware of any serious claim arizona was fwh dispute. zon was audited. they found nothing. >> dan, it went on and on. these are current republican candidates on the ballot. >> yeah. look. i think what is going on -- you know, david just came out with a puck in trump's shadow and i think that pretty much sums it up. but the problem for the party is all this kind of stuff to try to win a primary to out maga the other people. you have this kind of thing going on in primaries in the senate campaign in ohio. senate campaign in pennsylvania and elsewhere. it's all destructive to winning in 2022 in the midterms and gen

you, it says, as you know, it's similar to allen dirt hewitt's you suing virginia roberts for sure. you know, for going after hint for defamation. so it really is like a power play. it's, you know, i mean there's a lot of abuse of power going on. and, you know, i, when i studied it, family system i, you know, it's that i call it a micro of the macro that we're living today. well, and to very powerful and powerful circle that is handling this. i think it's why we're not able to get that close to the truth if we ever are allowed to am, i doubt that we will have that chance. thank you for joining us on this topic. thank you very much for having it. now after the break, we will give you the latest from the tornado, as well as if the following. this begins events of new relations we put into place regarding employees right in the workplace. when we return lou right now, there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's suitable to sell food that is pricey and sugary and salty and addicted. it's not at the individual level, it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believ

hugh hewitt syndicated talk radio host and kimberley strassel a member of the editorial board at theme to "special report." >> thank you. >> bret: your thoughts on this moment when we get red i don't see president biden meet virtually request russian leader vladimir putin tomorrow, what could he say that makes the russians back off? >> it's a moment of peril, bret. i think he needs to say very clearly we will strike back against any aggressive action beyond what you have already done in ukraine. i read the transcript of your interview with secretary of defense austin who said he didn't want to plush red lines. evidence thought it was never a good idea to do it. i think president biden has to lay down a red line or we will have a repeat of 2014 under president obama when president putin ordered the invasion, successful of ukraine, seizing the crimea. if they are not specific about what will happen, following such an invasion, i expect vladimir putin to take, as aggressive an action if he thinks is he get away with he always h. >> bret: yeah, leslie, do you buy the argument or the thou

and out of this conversation similar conversation that hewitt had he write this essay is very comfortingto think of dirty work of unethical things in society and road factors and they have nothing to do with us. but in fact the people doing societies dirty work are agents of society they have been unconscious mandate of society. and they did not want to hear too much about it. they did not want to ask questions about it and through that she was positive that dirty work can happen in the shadows and in the margins. in the remarkable thing about the essay is not what it says about naughty germany and this is not an expert about. but what he goes on to say this dynamic is in every society and made it very explicit that he was writing the essay to his fellow north americans of the more subtle forms of dirty work that takes place in democratic society where many people call passive democrats to stand by and let this continue and go one. without asking to any questions of what's being done but what kind of mandate does this have from the rest of us those questions are much more relevant than t

morgan ortagus former state department spokesperson and as i syndicated radio host hugh hewitt.e court was going to have to weigh in. a number of courts weighing in with different rulings. >> yes, bret. i'm going to go out on a limb here. i think you have at least six justices led by justice kavanaugh very suspicious of administrative agency overreach and that this will be struck down the mandate and private employers at least for certain struck down. i think it will be fairly quick. i don't think it's going to be any great dispute among the court. you might even get justice kagan something very obscure the chevron dock tron this is beyond what osha was intended to do. if congress wants to give the president this power they have to pass a law to do it. >> bret: the president was backing it up, saying how important it was. we will see what happens with these arguments but it's clearly going to be adjudicated basically by the supreme court. >> yeah. i don't think there is any surprise there, bret, as you said earlier. you know, the reality is we're at the point where a high percen

bring in panel syndicated radio host hugh hewitt. susan page washington bureau chief at "u.s.a.ondent at the washington examiner. hugh, is that just me or stunning juxtaposition of those two things? >> it's not just you, bret. that was quite the hun taj and quite the retreat that the president has had to mount. i was reading the telegraph before coming on tonight, that's the unite the kingdom paper. they are up 300 percent in cases. the good news hospitalizations are down 50% over the last year. the president is being overwhelmed by, i would call it a hoard out of the asian. sweeping all of his promises are being trampled unneath that sweep. >> bret: susan, politically, how covid is handled is really the biggest political challenge for this president considering all the things he is facing inflation and build back better and repercussions from afghanistan but really this is the biggest. >> i agree no other issue more important that got president biden elected. there is no issue on which his presidency is going to be judged more first and foremost than getting a handle on the pan

election fallout look like a walk in the park with that bring in our panel syndicated radio host hugh hewittecretary co-host of outnumbered kayleigh mcenany, and harold ford jr. former tennessee congressman and ceo of empowerment and inclusion capital. howard, let me start with you. obviously the federalist has a point of view what they are saying the list of things actually are included in the bill. it's still negotiating about the around the edges. but while some of that everyone is fine with, there are some things in there that are major problems, especially for republicans. >> well, first off, thanks for having me on, merry christmas and happy new year. i think that there are probably some democrats who may have some issue with some of the things in the legislation in the package. i think the john lewis act, which is not this bill, calls for something narrower and really focuses on two things. how do you get and ensure as many people as possible can vote. how do we ensure we know who those people are who they are. and how can we ensure those votes can be counted quickly and efficiently a

. >> let me ask you this, because mitch mcconnell was on hugh hewitt's show this morning talking abouthis dream, a switch of joe manchin to the republican party. first of all, he hasn't said he's going to do that. secondly, there's the possibility he could go independent caucus with democrats. there's the possibility, if he take over the majority, he could chair the energy committee, big to a guy from west virginia. do you see that as a realistic possibilities, either changing parties or leaving the democratic party? >> there is a precedent in 2001, jim jeffords of very month voted to cut back george bush's tax cuts. the white house punished him by not inviting him to a ceremony of teacher of the year. he caucused and made democrats the majority. he was the 51st vote. manchin would be in the same position. right now he's the 50th vote. all roads run through manchin. if he makes republicans the majority, they have 50 votes on their own. they don't need him. his power is immediately diluted as well as he voted twice to convict donald trump and voted against the trump tax cuts, which he's

he talked about 2024 when he called into the hugh hewitt show earlier today. >> if donald trump decidesoing to be very angry. >> and when asked about a possible presidential run and who he thought the front runners would be, the former president said he would make his decision after mid-terms. >>> let's go back to new hampshire where "360"'s randi kaye caught up with the former vice president earlier today. here is her report. >> reporter: in manchester, new hampshire, where we came to speak with voters about former vice president mike pence, we were surprised when we got the man himself. >> have you made any decisions about running for president? >> our focus is on 2022 and doing everything we can to turn back the big government agenda of the biden administration. >> reporter: we asked pence directly about his future plans just as he arrived to speak with voters at an event here. >> we'll let the future take care of itself. >> reporter: if donald trump runs for president, will you still run? >> our focus is on 2022. i can honestly tell you in 2023 my family will do what we've always do

if you look at a conservative talk show host like hugh hewitt, he talks about here's how you talk to conservatives if you're going to try and get them vaccinated. he's vaccinated. it works the other way. rfk jr. goes into lancaster county community, a community full of those who are amish, and convinces them not to be vaccinated. there has to be a force, a mobilization of people going into these communities and answering their questions, holding town hall meetings, whatever it takes, to try and get people vaccinated at the local level because that's the only way to get on top of this pandemic. i'm a little tired of talking about monoclonal antibodies, antivirals and boost er dosing and further protecting those who are already vaccinated. we need to vaccinate the unvaccinated. that's the message. >> it's an excellent point and really kind of refocusing with all the data and information out there. really what you're saying is we need to refocus on exactly what the core mission has been all along but seems to have just, i don't know, if it's kind of gotten lost in the noise because, yes

instead, it's hewitt the cuban people -- it's hurt the cuban people. but they've nevertheless adopted the same failed policy as their own. it's tragic because the policy has emboldened cuba's hard liners, who have cracked down even more on citizens who dare to peacefully protest about shortages of food, medicine, and electricity, and against government repression. and has exacerbated the crisis that engulfed the islands due to the covid pandemic, and the government's dysfunctional economic policies. but even more, it's exaspirating. anyone who understands cuba could have predicted what has happened since the trump administration reversed the obama administration's policy of engagement and would have taken steps to mitigate it. instead, the current policy is just making the situation even worse. for the past ten months, i've urged the white house to not repeat past mistakes, and those past mistakes are so obvious. when it comes to our relations with cuba's government and the cuban people. instead, to pursue a policy based on our long-term national inter

back, congressman, looking at the big picture, there is an article in "the washington post" by hugh hewittreat. the technological, military, economic might of china is greater as 2021 comes to a close than the ussr was at the height of its power. is china a bigger threat to the world than the ussr was during the cold war? >> oh i think, david, thanks for having me on. there is no doubt about that. i mean currently right now china has five times the population of the united states. their gdp is pretty much on par with ours. soviet union never came close in that regard to ours. china has standing military, 3 million, they're increasingly aggressive and very dangerous. soviets didn't have economic might. they certainly had military might. they didn't have economic power to back it up in a sustained conflict. china is very patient. i remember as a child 25 years ago them saying they want to be a world's superpower. they have reached that goal. david: they sure have. so far we haven't had one of the cuban missile crisis moments with china. a lot of people say there is another island in the far

it is gubernatorial debate this week moderator hewitt asked all fiver candidates whether joe biden wonw up in the suburbs. so this is not a new problem. it's not a unique point. >> i believe there was voter fraud across the country. we did know it did occur here. >> i don't think the election was fair. we have results. each states have its own deal. i am not a big fan. >> our job is to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat and every legal vote gets counted. the more we watch, the less they cheat. so you will be the watchwatcher. and that's something you can do. >> did president biden win? >> he was certified by the electoral college. >> it's not that hard. yes, he won. >> it seems to me again there is that split again between what you are hearing from senators for the most part and what you are hearing from members of the house and candidates out on the trail. i have heard a lot of republican senators say and other responsible leaders in the party, we can't look back. we have to focus on the next election. looking back will only hurt us. here we see five candidates that just can't sta
