All Right, glad you're with a Shawan Hannity show right down a toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of this extravaganza. It is a busy newsday eight d nine four one sean if you want to join us, the best best, best, best news is in spite of whatever shenanigans went on in Florida and with an ongoing criminal investigation, I can hope that we get to the bottom of how this is happening almost now on a yearly election basis that only two counties of the sixties seven in Florida. You know that we have to be tortured this way. But Rick Scott is now officially the Senator elect of the Great State of Florida. UH. Rhonda Santis the governor elect Great State of Florida. Huge victory, huge win. Uh. Donald Trump went in their hard fighting for both of them. Obviously his presence paid a big partners, especially with the headwinds of midterm elections. Uh. She won't concede Stacy Abrahams in Georgia. But Brian camp as I said Friday is the governor elect of the Great State of Georgia. UM. We have some fascinating information on all of this. Brenda Snipes is out. I'll get to all of that. We It is absolutely chilling and frightening to see what's going on out in California. I mean, it is it is it. It blows your mind to see the devastation. We now have confirmed seventies six people that have been killed and people remain missing out there. President made a trip over the weekend, talked a lot about better forestry. Um, we're gonna get to that in a second. That's part of the news that we're following in the course of the program today. We've got more democratic chaos out there than you can shake a stick at. We have House Democrats ready to plunge the country back into a recession with a new a green new deal sounds like Cylindra on steroid. And they planned to run against America systemic racism in according to the Politico, Oh, that's pretty much been a playbook of the Democrats for years and years and years. But anyway, and I think also of a master stroke in terms of strategic political planning. The President is offering to help Nancy Pelosi, to help save her speaker's job, offering as many Republican votes as maybe needed to make that happen. I don't know who he's gonna convince to do it. I couldn't do it if I was in there. But we head into a recession. Um, so we have that. We have new uh news on both the caravan front, which we're gonna get to and problems that were now seeing down at the border in Tijuana, and it's getting worse. We have a big problem that is emerging there. We expect at some point this week. This was a big win for the White House. Remember we kept hearing about, well, they may subpoena the President and Robert Muller and there's gonna be a constitutional showdown. Apparently it didn't materialize into that. Even through the process of Judge Kavanaugh, the elections and everything else we've been following in in recent weeks has kind of taken our eye off the ball a little bit about the deep state. I haven't forgotten those people that really were involved in Russia collusion. And while we expect a report by Team Mueller and everybody's up in arms, Oh, Whittaker is going to get rid of this guy, the temporary a g that's not the case at all. And I also would expect at some point soon the president is going to put forward a new second uh, a new attorney general to be a full time attorney general. And I have no idea who that might end up being, So we'll get to that. The President was pretty funny going after little shifty Adams shift except change a couple of letters at the end. I thought that was hilarious. So that's sort of like the headlines. I want to start with the caravan. Uh well, let me start first with Florida because we've been spending so much time on it. There isn't on going criminal investigation. We've got an update later from Pam Bandi on it. Here's the good news in all of this is now we've had Gill, him and Nelson both do the right thing and concede, something that has not happened in Georgia with Stacy Abrahams and what was a bizarre interview that she had with Jake Tapper about not conceding. But that now brings where we are. Fifty two Republicans, forty seven Democrats. Mississippi now is coming up what in about a week? How long is it tend whatever it is they have a runoff election there. Uh, it should be a Republican hold. I assume Democrats will try and spend a lot of money there. This has been the year. They'll spend whatever it takes to try and put Republicans in trouble. Um. There are only three House races that remain undecided at this point. In Texas, Will Heard has a one thousand and fifty vote lead over Democrat Gina Ortiz Jones, who is contesting the results. Now, she and do that under state legal recall UH laws and and call for a recount, but her campaign has to pay for it. I actually think that's fair. UM. Democrat Carolyn Bordeaux is trailing Republican Bob wood All. That's a Georgia race by a fewer than five votes. Looks like wood All got re elected there. I doubt there'll be a change in that race. And Bordeaux has yet to say whether uh she will seek a recount in that race. You know, we thought me a love was out of it in Utah, but she's up and she's now ahead of the Democrat Ben McAdams by four nineteen votes in Utah. I wanted me to get her seat back and I hope in fact that happens. But if we don't fix our elections, and there's we have a lot of problems because every state has different laws. One of the things I don't like about early voting is, well, what happens if you can vote three four weeks ahead of the election. And and look, it's a good thing if you can vote by absentee, if you know you're not going to be available to vote that day. We want people to participate, But if you have an entire month to vote, to me, it just lends itself to more opportunities for things to go awry and for people to play games with the numbers. And if you have a month to vote, you're also whatever October surprise that might come out that possibly could have changed your mind. You're locked in already. Let's say you find out something horrible about the candidate you voted for. You can't go and say can I have my ballot back? So the idea that people are voting further and further outside of the elections is problematic to me. I'm not I'm not saying the FEDS need to get in this and have one standard or one laws, one set of laws, but I do think both parties absolutely positively. They need monitors in every state and every precinct and every voting place in every area. With the votes are cast ahead of time, be it mail in or absentee, they've got to be able to monitor them, and they've got to be able to follow where they go. And they've got to know that there are no opportunities for unscrupulous people to mess around with the vote. The vote in his country has got to be sacrosanct, and watching every year what happens in Broward County, I have no faith, hope, confidence at all that that system is in any way working for the American people and the rest of Florida. Even the Panhandle got the job done. The Panhandle after what twenty seven days after one of the worst hurricanes why why, I mean it was destroyed in some areas, just devastation. So anyway, one bit of good news. Brenda Snipes made her exit this weekend. Do you know when they finally did the recount in Broward County that Rick Scott picked up eight I'll just shy of eight hundred more new votes And by the time they uploaded the recount numbers, it didn't get to the Secretary of State's office in Florida until four oh two. Now they were finished the recount at three and it benefited Scott to get those important votes and those votes didn't count. Unbelievable anyway, Sun Sentinel said. Hours after finishing the election recount, Brenda Snipe submitted her resignation, ending a fifteen year tenure full of botched elections, legal disputes and blistering criticism. She sent it in, according to an attorney who works as a counsel for the Supervisor of Elections office. Evelyn prevet Perez Verda, former office spokesperson who left several years ago, said Sunday that she was told by people in the office that the letter was sent to Tallahassee earlier in the day, and in the final version of the resignation letters sent to Governor Rick Scott, Snipe said it was in her passion and honor to have served the office. I'm ready to pass the torch and Snipes has now been the subject of waves of criticism for long line slow vote counts. You know, how many laws is any one county in Florida allowed to ignore or just not pay attention to? How is it it's always the same two counties. So I don't know what the system is, but you know, we know Broward County also misplaced over two thousand votes. I mean, how do you misplaced two thousand votes? But it happened, and we'll see what happens there. Um, these are huge wins. You know, everybody in the media. It was interesting how quickly the left and the media and the Democrats wanted to get off the topic of the elections because Donald Trump has now done something that has now happened three times, it's only the third time in the last hundred years, and that is pick up the Senate seats that he fought so hard for and went out and campaigned on. I mean, if you looked at the polls, both Gill him and in the case of the Nelson they were ahead in in these polls going into election day, and Donald Trump, you know, skipped all around the state of Florida, and I guarantee you at a big impact. Also think he had a big impact in Tennessee, and a big impact in Missouri, and a big impact in North Dakota, and a big impact in Indiana. Because the head winds of mid term elections are just what they are, and look at the two most recent Democrats as the best examples. Barack Obama his first midterm, lost six Senate seats sixty three House seats. That was a blowout. Same with Bill Clinton, he lost eight Senate seats and fifty two House seats. So it's you, that's why the media is not talking about. If it's success and it's for Trump, that's why they're not talking about it. It was fascinating to turn on TV this morning and watch what's happening now at the border with Tijuana, the US Mexico border down there. Uh, the army has arrived along with the border. They're moving swiftly to block this incoming caravan. That's and they're laying miles of razor wire to steer thousands of these migrants from legal crossings. When ten cities are to be erected. The problem is now with more and more caravan people coming to the border, the people on these border cities on the Mexican side are livid. Now, this is the Washington Examiner. According to eyewitness reports, troops trucks delivering construction equipment, portable bathroom security to several areas along the border. The first wave of the President's promised to bolster immigration enforcement with five thousand or more new soldiers. But the new troops and equipment are coming with full force now this morning, what happened. We have outraged Mexican citizens in Tijuana that are literally taking to the streets protesting the arrival of these caravans. NBC News reporting tensions rising Sunday as hundreds of residents protested the arrival of thousands of Central American migrants were expected to linger in the border city for months as they try to claim asylum in the United States. One group opposed to the chaos and the migrants in Tijuana outside of a makeshift shelter, have Mexican police there in riot gear forming a perimeter to protect the people there. Protesters had no problem uh with immigration, but is strongly opposed to what they call an illegal invasion. These are the people in Tijuana, These are these are people in Mexico making these words. Some protesters said the Mexican government should follow Trump's lead adopt tougher border policies. That's what's happening is now we're getting to the point where thousands are arriving. An entire town is now beginning to have to deal with the fact that the Mexican government allowed them to get up to this point. But they're not going to be able to cross the border here. And I've been saying, you know, otherwise, it's the invasion that you saw with the fences being knocked down and people just racing across in southern Mexico just a few weeks ago. All right, as we roll along Sean Hannity's show, toll free telephone numbers eight hundred nine for one sewn. So there was initial anger at Donald Trump when he tweeted out about the forest fires. It was in the early stages. I know because I lived there. I lived in California. This is not a new problem for California. I had left Santa Barbara, an adjacent area was known as Hope Ranch in the Santa Ynez Mountains out there and some of the most beautiful country you've ever seen. But and the President went out there, I mean, people have been ravaged. It's just you see home after home destroyed, billions and billions and billions of dollars in damage. And the President rightly pointed out something that we have been pointing out is that good forestry has not been happening out in California. We have over American citizens now missing as we speak. Seventies six now is where the current death total stands. And it was a great read in the Wall Street Journal. But what are the you know, these fires killing all of these people and these hundreds of thousands of acres. If you look at about fifty seven percent of California forest land is owned by the federal government. Most is private land regulated by the state. There's nearly a hundred and thirty million trees that are dead in California in a seven year period between twenty and twenty seven teen because of drought, bark beetle infestation, and the more dense the forest puts put these trees at a greater risk. And they don't allow any type of logging. They don't even allow dead tree removal. And even when you know, because of laws Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act, it is hampered all tree clearing, controlled burns. That's also can't do that, that's a no no, and all timber sales on federal land. And if you don't, if you don't, then these these forests out. This is what you get. It's not good alright till the top of the hour nine one, Shawn told free telephone number, you want to be a part of the program if you're just joining us, only three outstanding House races to be called. My buddy Rod Arquet at k n RS out in Salt Lake City says me, I Love is now a by fift hundred votes. Thanks Rod, Um. So it means that it looks like those three seats will go Republican, which is good. The margin of victory far less than obviously anything that happened to either Obama or Clinton, and both of them lost significant numbers of Senate seats, and we have the one runoff in Mississippi. Will be given you more information as the day's come and go that that is going to be an important seat. Republicans get that it's fifty three forty seven. That's a nice margin, especially when it comes to Supreme Court justices, A nice margin when it comes to a new a g nice margin when it comes to dealing with whatever, how Shenanigans are sent over from them. But um, just back to what's happening out in California. I've mean this with all my heart. Listen. I lived in California, five years in Santa Barbara. I think it was the poorest person out there at the time, and it is one of the most beautiful places on earth and it is you and you look to the mountains, you know, having grown up in Long Island, you don't have mountains like this, and it just it was majestic to me. It was just different. It's just beautiful. And you have the benefits of it being on the Pacific Ocean. I mean, it's all part of the Pacific Coast Highway that you know, the one on one you'll take all the way from you know, northern California straight on down to southern California with the most picturesque, stunning, spectacular views. If you ever want to take a trip and you don't mind driving, you know, you ought to take your family and drive it anyway. So it's a beautiful town. It has along with other areas in California. Ventur has been through this, Malibou has been through this, Los Angeles has been through this, Northern California has been through this. We keep having all of these wildfires, this now becoming the worst of them in terms of just the death toll, the damage and the great fear of what you know, when you have people missing, that's scary um and that number has been rising now very quickly every single day. And you know, people got angry at the President about talking about forest management, and but the President's right. You know, if you have seventy six people dead, you have entire this This is not the first time these fires have hit California, and we got to start asking some really tough questions. And why don't we ask the questions so we can prevent tragedy from ever happening in the future. It shouldn't be a Republican versus Democrat issue. For some they'll make it that. It shouldn't be a we care about the land and you want to rape and pillage the land for profit argument either. It should be you know, a fundamental analysis. If you're worried about air quality, look at the damage to the environment this fire is doing. And you know, you're talking about hundreds of thousands of acres now that have been burned out here. And as the Wall Street Journal had said, there's no reason for the massive, deadly, costly forest fires in California except forest management is so poor. And when the President tweeted out billions of dollars are given every year and the billions are spent to prevent this these tragedies. And it's because there's gross mismanagement in terms of forestry. And then you get into some of the politics of it, which I wish we didn't have to get into. And the President went out there and pledged to the Governor Jerry Brown. Even Jerry Brown, by the way, admitted that Trump was right about California wildfires. Governor Brown appears to have quietly admitted that Trump's suggestion about improving California forestry was correct, and is now urging state lawmakers to loosen restrictive logging regulations put in place to appease environment mentalists. The Santa Cruz Sentinel has reported that Brown is now proposing one of the most significant changes to the state's logging rules and nearly half a century and Governor Brown is now proposing broad new changes to California's logging rules that would allow landowners to cut larger trees and build temporary roads without obtaining a permit as a way to thin more forest across the state. Well, it's good for everybody because they're doing the work for you. You don't have to pay for it. And secondly, it obviously creates a safe barrier. There's got to be some areas in there now. Apparently California environmentalists aren't on board even yet. They've been pushing for years to make California's logging rules the the most restrictive and in the way of these fires. You know, one's gonna imagine that people's attitudes about this are gonna change. But under Brown's proposal, private landowners would then be able to cut trees up to thirties six inches in diameter up to the current ines up from there on property three acres or less without getting timber harvest permits from the state. I mean, all it's all about money too for the states. But here's here's what we know is that the president is right in what he's saying, and he was right, and he is right, and we know because it keeps happening, and we know because these laws, restrictive laws have been in place forever in California. And when you have fifty seven percent of California forest land owned by the federal government and they're spending billions to do these things, and even with the money they're they're not allowed to do these things. I think that that creates this environment. When you have a hundred and thirty million dead trees in California, A couple that with drought, by the way, that's just between some of it because of droughts, some of it because of bark beetle infestation. You have a dense forest that puts trees at a to risk for some type of parasitic infection. Enables fires to spread faster when trees dead trees fall, they add more combustible fuel. And there was a time when US Forest Service their mission was to actively manage the federal government's resources. Yet numerous laws over the last fifty years, including the Endangered Species Act National Environmental Policy Act, have all hampered tree clearing, control burns and timber cells on federal land, and restricting even homeowners from cutting down a tree on their own property. I know on my own property to get a tree cut down on my own property for whatever reason. By the way, I like all my trees. I don't want to cut them all down, but some need to be cut down. You gotta get to permit to cut down a tree. It's ridiculous. And they also restrict timber harvesting you need a myriad of permits environmental impact statements to even prune what are overgrown forests. The State Legislative Analysts Office noted in April the project proponents seeking to conduct activities to improve the health of California's forests indicate that in some cases, state regulatory requirements can be excessively duplicative. Duplicative meaning you have to do it again and again, lengthy and costly. The biggest problem for land owners is disposing of the dead wood. Maybe they want some firewood for cold nights anyway, and then they, of course they're concerned about emissions. Well, I think if you look at the emissions from this burn, you might learn that there's gonna be environmental damage if you let it go on and don't treat it. I mean, look, at some point you gotta say, Okay, controlled burns work better. We can save lives and people's homes. Thinning out dead trees, that's a good start, you know, getting rid of kindling, underbrush, things that are likely to ignite more quickly. That's important. Also, I mean, you couple these fires with the heavy winds that might come in with Santa Anna, and you've got yourself the disaster that we see now unfolding before our eyes. Thinning the forest could actually save Californians billions of gallons of water every year, according to an April study by the National Science Foundation. And the good news is the Trump administration is expanding timber sales on federal land and this year's harvest is going to be the biggest in twenty years. So if you want to restore forest to good health, it may take years, but you've got to learn what you've been doing here is just wrong. You know. It's mine numbing to me that we find ourselves in this position. Uh, and no end in sight for this, I know that. And then it gets tougher. They're expecting rain. After the rain, then you're gonna have even bigger problems, and you have the potential of mud slides. It's it's look, I don't have all the answers, but certain common sense measures, certainly control burns, Certainly areas of thinning out the kindling in these fires. Certainly, barrier building where you don't want the fires to be able to jump from this portion of the forest to the next portion of the forest. Oh, it's got to be handled now, or it's it's gonna be one disaster after another, and I don't think anybody wants to see that. And the president but look at this. Al Kaite is even saying they're now touting the California burning saying, oh, this is just the beginning. But the President did commit to help the good people of California. Albeits a liberal state, but they really deserve it. I mean, there's all these people have been wiped out. I'm not talking about the Hollywood actors and actresses and their multimillion dollar homes. I'm talking about you know, the rank and file, good people of California that work hard and played by the rules, and they're watching everything they built their entire lives just go up and smoke. It's heartbreaking. Ever see anybody have to go through that, and it's terrible. And you got so many crazy things out there, I mean, one crazy thing after another. Get this. So this is where liberal liberal ism has gone. Is a school now in the United Kingdom. They've forbidden students from wearing any expensive jackets because doing so may poverty shame other students. You gotta be kidding me, Linda, You're gonna laugh. So I didn't have a winter coat this year, you know, just to hang out jacket. So I stopped at t J Max over the weekend. Oh yeah, I love t J Max. What did you get? I just got a black coat, winter coat and I got a pair of gloves. My god, you got a black coat. That's so original, I know, so original with pockets, wonderful like my my Harley jacket which I can't wear because has no pockets. You really are a weirdo. I'm gonna get you that thing off TV. Have you seen that I've seen on TV? Jacket. It's it's for annoying people like you that want to shove everything in their pockets. And it has inside pockets on the inside lapels and you can put whatever you want in there. That's what I'm gonna get you for Christmas. Oh, I didn't know you're buying me a Christmas By the way, did I buy you presents every year? Please? Do not act like you get Well, is it going to be your Christmas party? This year? I got an invitation to the Sean Hannity Show Christmas party, and I don't know what you're talking about. Nobody came to me and said, oh, well, we do want a Christmas party again this year. Like usual, not one person asked, I know you don't like parties, okay, but we're having a Sean Hannity Show Christmas party. I did go last year. I did have a good time. I stayed much longer than I usually would because I was having fun. They were great people. Can I just ask a question, did you really order like a great band for this party? I ordered them. They'll be here. The shipping says two to three weeks. I didn't say shipping. But they're gonna be playing at the event. Yes, they will be okay, And this is your old band. It is indeed okay, So this is gonna be an expensive night for the boss. Right, well, I mean it depends. Are you coming? Of course I'm gonna come to. It's going to be very expensed. But it's not my party. This is your party. You put the party on you. Even how many people have you invited to this party? Too many? How many? Is too many? Too many? How many? I can't talk about it on here. It's uncomfortable. Is it over a hundred? It might be? It might think of all the guests she's going to get emails from. Right now, let's this move. Yeah, you're making it very uncomfortable. Okay, so how many people did you put on the original list? You know, we always start with a number and then we work backwards, right. It's kind of like, you know, it's like when you're going to sit next to who at the wedding and you realize it just doesn't work. Stop the phony, phony bologny Sean Hannity's Christmas party when it's not it's your it's the Christmas party. I'm just paying, Reverence. No, the only thing is Sean Hannity just pays the bill of the party. Whatever you decide, I'll pay. Tell us that the party is in your name, but she's throwing it is the party in my wallet. I'm paying for the party. But wait a minute. I didn't even get asked. I only got an invitation. I didn't get asked you know, do you like this person that person? Who do you want to invite? I didn't even get asked one question about it. I just how hard it would be for you to plan a party. Shouldn't you be thanking Linda for inviting and having all your friends show up for a Christmas party? It is the season of thanks, Sean. I think your band at its height was charging thirty thousand dollars in appearance. That's what If my band at their height was charged in thirty thousand dollars in appearances, I would not be here. Uh, just so you know they were charging at least ten They may have, they may have great And is it like in a is it in a fun place or is it gonna be like I have to put on a jacket place. I'm just gonna hold it in the public square. You canna invite everybody, everybody, it's it's a b y or whatever. Maybe we'll what Rachel Maddow does over. You know, whenever the resistance will tell the resistance where the party is. I would never tell the resistance where anything is. Then they can show up be a set the I R S. So they could learn how to pay taxes for once in their life. Alright, lot coming up? Could this fire fire fire tragedy. Everyone's now looking at the veto of the wild fire bill that Jerry Brown vetoed in. You know, the measure would have required the state and their utility commission to work with municipalities to ensure energy companies to all they can to prevent what happened here, and he vetoed that bill also included a lot of other issues that we've been just discussing. All right, the latest out of Florida, the caravan firing, uh the fire in California. Much more straight ahead, right hour to Sean Hannity Show one, Shawn, if you want to be a part of the program. Amazing what has happened this weekend as we're not watching. It started out with eighty people and part of this caravan, and the estimates very quite dramatically, but it's kind of now coalesced around the number eleven thousand, and the information I'm reading as highest fourteen fifteen thousand, as low as uh six or seven thousand. And then the next wave of a thousand people have gotten to the border of Tijuana, and amongst the shouting is Trump was right, this is an invasion. And we did, like I protesting against the Central American people and use it too, please to come down because we're feeling safe and so we want our neighborhood to come back to normal again. They are coming. They are gangs, the bad people. Our government has not taken control of these what we call invasions. If you live in a house, you have walls, you have doors, you have gate. So we do that because we don't want to let just anybody go into our house. And I consider this country my house on the larger scale, and we do. We should control our borders, called Donald Trump. I saw it on Fox and Friends this morning. So you have the citizens in Tijuana now being outraged and literally taking to the streets protesting the arrival of thousands of illegal caravan border crashers. And the protesters are complaining that the caravans are loaded with violent gang members. In their shouting quote, Trump was right, this is an invasion, and that's according to NBC News. And tensions rose on Sunday yesterday as hundreds of residents protested the arrival of thousands of Central American migrants who are expected to linger at the border city now for months as they try to claim asylum in the US. A group opposed to the quote chaos of the so called caravans protesting outside the makeshift shelter as now. Local police in Tijuana are in riot gear and having formed a perimeter, and demonstrators who are singing the Mexican national anthem and waving flags as they urged the migrants to go home. Protesters said they had no problem with legal immigration, but they're strongly opposed to what they called an illegal invasion. Anyway, Here to make sense out of what's going on at the border now is Horaldo Rivera author of The Horaldo Show and host of his own show podcast UH and Marie Salazar, candidate for Congress Florida in the twenty seven district. And welcome both of you to the program. Thank you. You know, it's interesting because you know, if we go back to when the caravan first crashed, knocked down the fences and and charged into Mexico, Horaldo, you go back to that moment I said, when you have that many people, you have to prepare that this president is not going to let them in. He's been clear, the Vice president has been clear. We're now building barriers with these barbed you know, razor wires UH in areas where we believe people might be trying to cross. We see now that the town of Tijuana is over overwhelmed and inundated with people from the caravan, and you know, feeling the same way that many Americans feel that you've got to come if you want to come into Mexico. You've got to come in legally, Like we want the American borders respected, the Mexican borders should be respected. And it seems like this is going to spiral out of control, probably pretty fastest. I've sadly been predicting and hoping to be wrong on Well, if you're asking mischo and I think that what we have to do is layered, and I'll be very brief of that. I think first we've got to spend a considerable amount of resources to get the word out in Central America that unauthorized migrants are not welcome and they will not be permitted to claim asylum. UH and by TV time, by radio time, by ads in the newspapers, can under the notion that has been spread by UH, the the public interest groups, the lobby groups, the UH, the organizers, poets in front das, UH, citizens without Frontiers, all that get We've got a counter that notion that if you get to the border, you're in. I think that that is a pr mission. Secondly, we've got to recognize who these people are. Forget about the MS thirteen and the gang banger. I don't think that that is the significant story. Because the gang bangers. The professional criminals will find a way in, and they don't need a caravan to sneak in. They've been doing it for decades. They'll continue to do. With the trial of l Chapo who dug a mile long tunnel, and I did that report on your show, shows that the pros can get in. It's the it's the desperately poor people. We've got to recognize we've got some of the poorest people on earth living next door to some of the richest people on earth. I think we've got to have an immigration reform program. The President Trump is ideally suited now to dare the Democrats and get something going where you give the dreamer's a pathway to citizenship, You take care of the wall, you build the damn Wall, which I think will relieve the psyche of many Americans fearful of this of this flood, and you you make a deal where you have temporary work visas so these people can be flown in to do the harvest the way they used to be and then flown home again. Vastly increase the temporary crossings. Authorized temporary crossings recognized the special relationship between Central and Central America and Mexico and the United States. And I think that's the beginning. Sean. And what's your take, Maria Salazar, what do you think? Well? I agree with what MSR. Every Verry is saying, and I do believe when he said go and send the message to the Central Americans, I would go a step further. I have been saying during my campaign to President Trump that I believe that what he needs to do is to call for an emergency summit meeting with Integla, the cow Liddle of Honduras, with the Salvadorian president, with the Hondurian presidents, and with the Guatemalan president. And he he President Trump is the master of the art of the deal, and I'm sure at the same way he did it with Kim Young own in Singapore, he can do it in take a sigapa and what would he be telling them? In which way I can keep your I can help you keep your boys home or your people home. You know. With Central American Bureau chief for Univision for many years I covered the war. I know them very well and they really respect and wanted the American hand to help them. We have a major problem. We have the high homicide raid in Honduras, in Guatemalan and Salvador. And the only way we can prevent from this happening again because we're concentrated now, Sean on what's happening now, the ten thousand, and the five thousand and the others thousands. This is gonna keep on happen, but well, especially if word doesn't get out. And the problem is is that if you're seeking asylum from a Central America in country, in the first country, you will arrive in as Mexico. That's where the asylum application belongs, not in the United States, you know. DHS officials today, Haraldo, this is what they've identified our worst fear, not that the vast majority of people in the caravan don't want the great life that we all you know, will acknowledge on Thanksgiving this week, that we take for granted too often. But they've also quote identified more than five hundred criminals traveling with the caravan flow now in a conference call with reporters our own, DHS officials asserted that most of the caravan members are not women and children. Rather, they're saying that the caravan is mostly single adult or teen males that have been and and have placed the women and children in the front of the line in order to gain sympathetic coverage. This is from the DHS. They've also said they're about six thousand now people waiting to be processed at the Santa Cedro border crossing near Tijuana, not all of them from the caravan, and another sixteen or so MEXICALI with hundred in total waiting to be processed. We we can't, we don't have the we can't even get Americans through an airport are although, but that it's that's what has been happening for years. This is nothing new. Is now that they are together ten thou but we have four hundred, five hundred people trying to get in being caught every day. So what we're saying is that this is more of the same. We should nip it up the butt. How do you nip it up the button? Make it something that will go away forever. Reform law. The walls there, you can't you can't get over the wall. But okay, the wall will be helpful for the non criminal, the typical person coming for economic reasons, I think. Backing up, let me just reiterate something that Marie and I agree on, the fact that they are coming to plead asylum. We have to let them know in our massive public relations campaign that they will not be grant an asylum, that they do not qualify for asylum, that their trip is therefore based on a faulty premise. Don't come, You're not going to get asylum. Now, how do you handle those who claim asylum at the border when you have this vast flood of people you've got You've sent the military to the border. I am opposed to that. I didn't like it when George W. Bush did it. I didn't like Barack Obama did it. I don't think it's effective. But what you can do, I'll tell you why it's effective. That they're not going to be involved in the law enforcement aspect of it, but they're they're laying down a lot of barb barbed wire and raise the wire so that they can't cross it or charge it the way they did in Southern Mexico. Judges third immigration judges, get hundreds of judges to the border courts, vastly expand the temporary courts, and accelerate the pace of asylum hearings. Let people see that the asylum ruse is not gonna work. We are enormously sympathetic. These are hungry, hard working people, and I reject from what I can see, the claim that there are five hundred criminals among five we've had, We've had, we've had Mexican officials and now this was an update. It was three hundred. Now they are saying they've identified five hundred among ten and eleven thousand. I'm sure the rest of the people are what I said, they are hard working people that live in poverty, that want the American dream, Maria. But then what I'm saying to you is, what about those girls that are being raped or being threatened to be raped by the gangs the ms R team in Hunters. What are you gonna do? You got to give them due process of law and chances of how do you give how do you give ten thousand and then another twenty thousand and then another thirty thousand people? You know, full and complete due process. I mean, they're gonna come in and they're gonna if they find out a particular story is one that would work with officials, is not going to get repeated over and over again, whether or not, that is absolutely and that's what we're facing right now because we don't have the capacity to vet any of that in from we We haven't had the capacity for years. Look at our legal our asylnce system, it's collapsing. You have for you to be able to get asylum or yes or no, it's six years. So in the meantime, you are in the United States with the work primit because you're under the asylum protection. We've got to stop that us well. But at the same time, where to accelerate the number of judges that will help mitigate that problem. But listen to what I'm saying. As long as you have the poorest people on earth living next door to the richest people on earth, you're gonna have a natural movement between poverty and well that is inevitable. What you have to do, aside from the pr campaign that says you're not going to get asylum, you've got to help correct some of the social conditions. Wait a second, let me finish. You've got to help correct some of the social conditions in Central America that you're complaining. Just slow down. We have now been in the process and two years Donald Trump has been president. We have now been in the process of reverse seeing the economic damage and the poverty in our own country. Obama added thirteen million more Americans to the food stand rolls, put eight million more Americans in poverty. We now have four point three million fewer Americans on food stamps, eight million fewer Americans uh in poverty. Since the President has been a four and a half million new jobs created. But we're not done fixing this country. We still have plenty of poverty in big towns and small cities all across this country, and we're not addressing them either. Correct, So that what do you do with the situation we I think I think we have to get our own house in order. First build the wall so that nobody can get hurt on either side. It's for the protection of everybody, and in the interim develop a system whereby needs and certain vetting procedures are implemented, coupled with some type of proof and evidence that you can take care of yourself if you are one of the lucky ones that gets through to come to America and and and have a shot at the American dream. All good, all good, But the proud of the bitterness of this is we have virtual full employment in the United States. We have fruits and vegetables that are going unharvested because there is insufficient labor in the agricultural section sector of our economy almost throughout the country. For those people that apply legal, For those people that apply legally, let them in. But after you vet them, and once we assure the American people that they they have a place to work and sustain and take care of themselves. Yeah, but you are not thinking about they just talking about the economic side. I'm talking about the asylum side, which is the one that you were talking about. How do you possibly every person is going to claim them, but every person will learn to claim the most outrageous case of oppression. How does America possibly verify or corroborate tens of thousands of stories, probably one more horrific than the next. President Trump has made clear that he will not. He's ordered the judges not to consider economic plight as a reason for asylum. There has to be a specific credible threat, all right. We have to see how it works. Build the wall first, and then we get to make all those decisions from a position of strength and a position where we can insist on background checks and vetting and also insist that people are have the means to take care of themselves, and it won't be the American taxpayer that in fact has to foot the bill. Is it's more complicated than people say. Thank you both though one Seawn toll free telephone number you want to be a part of the program, will hit the phones next next hour. We have Pam Bondi the Attorney general. Yeah, it is now done. X Scott Senator elect from the Great State of Florida, Rhonda Santis, Governor elect, Great State of Florida, and yes, Brian Kemp the governor electing Georgia. A lot of anger, only three races remaining in terms of what we're looking for for outcome will have that. We have an amazing Hannity tonight. I'll tell you about that nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. Uh, and much more. I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the gubernatorial election. But to watch an elected official who claims to represent the people in the state baldly pin his hopes for election on the suppression of the people's democratic right to vote has been truly appalling. So let's be clear, this is not a speech of concession, because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true, or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that. But my assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy. As I have for more than twenty five years, I will stand with my fellow Georgians in pursuit of fairness. You see, I did so as a college student, speaking in the shadow of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. At the thirties anniversary of the March on Washington. I did so as Democratic leader of the House of Representatives and as the Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia. And now I will do so as a private citizen, ready to continue to defend those whose choices were denied full expression. Today I announced the launch of Fair Fight Georgia, an operation that will pursue accountability in Georgia's elections and integrity in the process of maintaining our voting roles. In the coming days, we will be filing a major federal lawsuit against the State of Georgia for the gross mismanagement of this election and to protect future elections from unconstitutional actions. Is he the legitimate got in or elective Georgia. He is the person who won an adequate number of votes. But that's not from the governor. With all with all due respect, and I respect where you're coming from, and I respect the issues that you're raising. You're not answering the question do you think you know what is he doing? You're not using the word legitimate. Is he the legitimate governor elective Georgia. He is the legal governor of Georgia. And here's the thing, Jake, I want to be very clear. Words have meaning, and I've spent my lifetime not only as an attorney, but as a writer, and I'm very careful with the words I choose. And yes, when he takes the oath of office, he will be the legal governor of the state of Georgia. He is the legal victor. But what you are looking for me to say is that there was no compromise of our democracy and that there should be some political compromise in the language I use. And that's not right. What's not right is saying that something was done properly when it was not. I will never deny the legal, the legal permature that says that he is in this position, and I pray for his success. But will I say that this election was not tainted, was not a disinvestment and a disenfranchisement of thousands of voters. I will not say that. But we wanted to interrupt a little bit of our break UH to first, UM, thank everybody who helped us along along this journey as we worked incredibly hard, UH, not only to win an election, quite frankly, but to build and strengthen a movement for everyday people again here in the state of Florida. UM, we said that we will fight until the last vote UH is counted. Obviously, we are now closing out the hand recount phase and two of the statewide races. We wanted to make sure that every single vote, including those that were over votes, under votes, UH, as long as it was illegally cast vote, we wanted those votes to be counted. UH. And now that we are rounding that process, our our j and I wanted to take a moment to congratulate late Mr. De Santis on becoming the next governor of the great state of Florida. All Right, there we have the fallout from the election. Stacy Abrams, I mean getting into a word game. In that interview with Jake Tapper conceding that Brian Kemp as the governor and then talking about but she's but this is not a concession speech. Are you conceding or not? Do you have any evidence to back up anything of which you are claiming? And the answer is no. And it just I never think that works out well in the long run for people that come off as sore losers, tight race, whatever it happens to be. But they never got the numbers that they needed. And that's just the way it is and what it comes down to. Um, Thank god that Brenda Snipes over the weekend has decided to get out and resign, you know, the Broward County election supervisor. She made her eggsit this weekend. As the dust settled on the Florida recount fiasco, I think there's got to be follow up far me on where did these where did these hundred thousand votes come from? Why are certain counties to basically in Florida of sixties seven counties, Why are too not abiding by Florida law and the Florida Constitution. Why did two counties get to hold up for the rest of the state the results of that state and was there any nefarious activities going on by people. I'd like to know the answer to that question if as an investigation, I'm sure still ongoing. But we now have Senator elect Nelson of Florida and Governor elect Rhonda Santis of Florida. Those are two massive, huge winds for the Republicans. It's massive, and that now brings the Republican count in the Senate to fifty two Democrats forty seven. And then we have the Mississippi runoff that is coming. We'll talk more about that in the days ahead. Um in that race where the Republican is expected to pick up that seat, there are only three House races now that are not decided. All three of them look good for the Republican candidate, and that would bring their number to two oh two, and that would be Uh Congressman Will Heard, Representative Will Heard. Uh. He has one thousand, one fifty vote lead over the Democrat Jones that he's facing and who's just contesting the results under state law. Well, in this case, Gina Ortiz Jones can contest call for a recount, but her campaign is gonna have to foot the bill for it. You have Democrat Carolyn Bordeaux trailing Republican Bob would All by fewer than five hundred votes in their Georgia districts. Looks like Woodall is going back to Congress and the election is yet to be certified, but Bordeaux has said she will also seek a recount. Me a love and what has been a really tight race in the state of Utah. She is ahead of the Democrat Ben McAdams by four nineteen votes in Utah, where many provisional ballots apparently are still be encountered. How do how do you still count them? You know, all these weeks later. I mean, it's really there's no confidence. You cannot have confidence in this system if this is what happens. So it looks like and in the end, Republicans. Donald Trump's campaigning and his victories in Florida and Indiana and North Dakota and Missouri where he pushed the hardest in Tennessee have paid off extraordinarily well because he's only the third president in a hundred years to to pick up seats in the in the Senate in his first mid term. I watched the media, and the media hasn't talked about being so wrong on their Blue wave prediction. It's a ripple, if you want to call it anything. The House was very tight. Republicans retired forty some odd people, but it was nowhere near the massacres of the years that Bill Clinton had in and Barack Obama had. Bill Clinton lost eight Senate seats in his first mid term eight Donald Trump picked up a few Senate seats, he lost eight, and then he lost fifty two House seats, and that was a record at the time hadn't happened in decades and decades that Obama shattered that record, having lost six seats in the Senate and his first mid term in and then also losing sixty three House seats. That's sixty nine. So if you're looking at a historical basis, this is what I said this before the election. I said, you're facing historical headwinds that usually tend to bear out. And if you remember my predictions that I said, yeah, Republicans will pick up seats in the Senate, and I said there behind in the House. And that was based on a lot of different factors, reading all the polling that we read every day, looking at history, knowing that there was gonna be a lot of resistant play, out there. In other words, those people that hate Trump and whether they're picking up seats are interesting. I've warned heavily about southern California, and that turned out to be a wipe out. The six seats that I said, if there's any chance Republicans are gonna go hold the House, they'd have to pick up all of them. They lost them all. And California is just vote in voting terms, and demographics has shifted very, very hard blue. All right, let's get to our busy telephones. A lot to talk about. We got the Acosta ruling, we got the California wildfires. How to prevent this from ever happening. You've got people in Tijuana, Mexico saying that they this is an invasion that they are going through and that Donald Trump is right. Pretty fascinating to watch this democratic chaos and everything else you expect to. We're gonna be getting back into the deep state issues as the week unfolds. Uh. We say hi to Bill Is in Ohio. Bill, Hi, how are you welcome to the Shawn Hannity Show. Good? Thanks for taking my call. Hey, I find this decision on Acosta to be extremely disturbing in just a total violation a separation of powers. It essentially means that if you have a press pass that it's a lifetime appointment to pass that can never be taken away from you unless you violate White House rule. And then, of course, if you violate a rule, if you have due process and you have a right to hearing on whether they correctly revoke your past even then and it's just getting to the point where you feel like, why doesn't this federal judge just come to the press conferences and tell President Trump who he asked to call on and how many questions they can ask. Well, that's a look, that's obviously now what's happening. Then he got a strongly awarded letter this weekend and they're gonna pull his pass again. And they are putting together standards and practices. But what they were saying, and I think arguing very effectively, is saying that, hey, um, we never thought we'd have to do it, but if we have to put the standards that the judge in this case is putting forward and give you due process. High here's your due process. You're put on notice, here's where you went wrong. It's meant for one question, one question only when the President asked that you relinquished the microphone, or somebody else working there asked that you relinquished the microphone, you do it. The fascinating thing is behind the scenes, all of Jim Acosta's so called colleagues that while they may be standing up on principle that they want him to stay, although as the judge said, it wasn't a First Amendment issue, more of a Fifth Amendment issue, then they're sick and tired of him hogging the mic and putting on a show and making it all about him. They're tired of it because their access then to the president is limited. If President Trump issued an executive order that said every federal judge must hold a press conference once a week, you'd be amazed at how quickly the judiciary would suddenly rediscover a separation of powers. And it's just a constant interference where it seems that every one of a thousand federal judges thinks they can overrule the president of the United States anytime they disagree with something the president does. We saw that in the travel band, where basically thirty two federal judges were ultimately overruled by the Supreme Court. But in the meantime, they dragged out the travel band process for about a year or so. Uh, same thing with DOCA. If federal judges had not interfered, Uh, it may have forced Congress to sit down and find a solution. And we wouldn't still be dealing with this problem. And it's just NonStop interference and lack of respect for the executive branch of government. Yeah, well, if they had it, it wouldn't be an issue. Good point, and thanks for the call. And by the way, CNN has reporters there. It's they've not been banned. The other reporters have not been banned. And so the court decision talks about setting up rules and standards, and the President mentioned in his interview with Chris Wallace, we're gonna do that. We're writing him up right now. It's not that big a deal. If he misbehaves, will throw him out, We'll stop the news conference. And when pressed on the details, he said, well, we're gonna have rules of decorum. You know, you can't keep asking questions. We have a lot of reporters in the room, many reporters in the room that are unable to ask questions because this guy gets up and starts doing what he's supposed to be doing for him in CNN, and that shouting questions and making statements. I'll say this, nobody believes in the First Amendment more than I do. And if I think if somebody's acting out of sorts, well I'll just leave and say thank you very much. He doesn't have to He doesn't have to take a single not one. He doesn't have to take a single question from anybody. The other thing, too, is if everyone is getting equal treatment and they set up new standards, which they would have the right to do, maybe they'll throw him in the old executive office building across the street, and maybe that'll be the result. And I wonder then how Jim Acosta's colleagues would feel at that point if he insists on continuing this. You know, I'm giving his statement. I disagree. I want to have a fight. I want my moment on TV. This is you know, all about me? I number one? Oh my, mean my, what I think, what I know, what I love, what I like, what I see? You know, that's what he's that's what he wants. He's looking for his moment. And as we head back to our busy phones, Rod is in California, Rod High, How are you glad you called? Sir? I want to talk about this clown, Michael Avanetti. And you know he got arrested last week for alleged domestic violence. But what I thought was really rich was when he came out and did his impromptu news conference that he was a champion of women. He's never hit a woman, And that may be true. But if he's a champion for women, why is he one point one point one billion dollars behind on spousal support and child support for his first wife. I don't know the specific I don't know the specifics of his case. Let me just give you a broader answer, because I know he's had issues in his office, and I guess whatever he got thrown out of his office. I don't wish anybody ill here in any way. I don't know what happened with Michael Lavinati and the person that's making these allegations. I don't know, but I think maybe maybe he might have a different perspective because he went out with a certainty, with a story that was just never met any smell test, having clearly not done any investigative work. His own client gives an affidavit. He files this affidavit in the case as relates to Judge Kavanaugh. She contradicts many key parts of a story and that story shifts that shouldn't happen. One show on toll free telephone number a quick break. We'll come back on the other side, and we will be checking in with Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi a lot more. He calls the great chunk lidella much more. We had a margin on election. It was a close race, but it was definitive that I had won, and even with some of the votes that were that turned up in Broward, I mean, my margin was significant enough. We knew the machine recount was not going to change it um and it didn't. And I also had vera had confidence that Governor Scott would would end up winning the recount, both the manual machine recount there. Uh So, I think that's great that that had happened and that we're we're moving on now. Obviously we're gonna have to address some of the problems with the the election administration in places like Broward and Palm Beach County. I think it's good that Brenda I has submitted her resignation. There was no way as governor that I was going to let her preside over another election down there after all the problems that they had. Um so we had sixty five counties do a do a good job. We had to that that that dropped the ball. We want to make sure all sixty seven counties do these elections in a fair way. What happens next to you'll you'll appoint someone to take over for Dr Snight. It depends on when her resignation is effective. I heard it was going to be effective sometime in early January, about the time I'm being sworn in. So yeah, then that'll fall to me to appoint her replacement. If she has resigned immediately, than Governor Scott would have a window to appoint it before he leaves office. And that was Rhonda Santis. Glad you're with us News Roundup and Information Overload. Our one, Shawn told free Tillable number I have more sound of of well now Senate elect Governor Rick Scott, uh and Rhonda Santis talking about now that they have been declared the winners in the state of Florida. I will tell you if if we don't get a grip on those two counties, in particular, in Florida's voting system. We will go through this every year, Brenda Snipes or no Brenda Snipes. It's gonna keep happening. And I'm sure the people of Florida, you know the judge in this case, that it's making Florida and a state their elections in a national embarrassment. I don't want to go that far. I'd say sixty five counties are great, it's only two counties that are doing playing these games. And how do you find a hundred thousand votes? Anyway? Rick Scott and Rhonda Santis is what they said. You know, we had a margin on election. Now, it was a close race, but it was definitive that I had won, and even with some of the votes that were that turned up in Browered, I mean, my margin was significant enough. We knew the machine recount was not going to change it um and it didn't. And I also had vera head confidence that Governor Scott would would end up winning the recount, both the manual and machine recount there. Uh So, I think that's great that that that had happened and that we're we're moving on now. Obviously we're gonna have to address some of the problem with the the election administration in places like Broward and Palm Beach County. I think it's good that Brenda Snipes has submitted her resignation. There was no way as governor that I was going to let her preside over another election down there after all the problems that they had. Um So we had sixty five counties do a do a good job. We had to that that that dropped the ball. We want to make sure all sixty seven counties do these elections in a fair way. What happens next to you'll you'll appoint someone to take over for Dr Snight. It depends on when her resignation is effective. I heard it was going to be effective sometime in early January, about the time on being sworn in. So yeah, then that'll fall to me to appoint her replacement. If she has resigned immediately, then Governor Scott would have a window to appointed before he leaves office. So I look forward to working with the President to get good things done for our state. And I'm just excited. I'm excited about being up there because we're gonna I've learned a lot as governor learned that if you start looking at how do you get a return on every dollar spent, a lot of good things can happen. The things are important to me is we've got to keep this economy going. We've added one point six million jobs in Florida. We've got to keep this economy going. We've got to have a strong military. So I want to focus continue to focus on the military. I had the opportunity to serving the Navy. My dad in the army, so I want to continue to make sure we have a strong military. But the biggest thing is we gotta keep this economy going. We gotta watch how our money spent, and we got to help our military. Those are big things for me. All right. Joining us now is the Attorney General a great state of Florida. Pam Bandi is with us. Well, it took a while, and we had over a hundred thousand votes quote discovered after election day. All those votes should have been reported as according to Florida law, within thirty minutes of the polls closing on election day. And I in my heart wonder where do they all come from? But we're ever gonna be able to figure that out. Good afternoon, Sean, And yes, as you know, Florida has a pending criminal investigation. We're doing it hand in hand with our law enforcement partners throughout the state of Florida. And again and the the election is over. But if anyone has a dent of any type of fraud, they could please call the Department of State because they have a dedicated hotline that's open and if they could call that in at the numbers eight seven seven, eight six eight three seven three seven eight seven seven eight six eight three seven three seven To assure everyone, this is an ongoing and active criminal investigation. That's all I can say. But that will continue. When you think through the prism of it's been eighteen years since dimpled, pimpled, swinging, hanging, dented, Chad's in other words, scattered, smothered, and covered. I mean, I mean, it's funny on the one hand. On the other hand, it's not. It's just it seems if you go to two thousand, two thousand and four, two thousand and twelve, two thousand and fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen and eighteen, you either have incidents or you have rulings by judges about how laws aren't followed and the Constitution ignored and Florida. Do you think the system itself is designed as a good system seems to work in sixty five counties, What does the whole thing need to be redesigned? Well, I think you just hit the nail on the head of me, as it works in sixty five of the sixty seven counties. That the problem seems to be reoccurring in certain counties throughout our state of almost twenty two million people, as you know, and I don't know why. Most counties can get it right in the couple never can. And that's why there is an investigation that you think you know, I won't get into the details of that, but um, yeah, I find it very interesting. And that's why we're gonna go back and look at other elections as well, um as to see if there is a systematic pattern of something more than just netligence or inconfidence or malfeasance. Um to see if there is anything criminal there. And that's going to continue. But you know, signature verification. UM. I find it very interesting. Andrew Gillum was saying that he wants a fair election and and and it has to be ethical and and have integrity, Yet he doesn't want signature verification. And that's a joke because without signature verification, you know what that means. You see, anybody could walk in and signed Sean Hannity in their vote would count. And so without signature verification that that's observed. That is one of the safeguards in our system, and it has been working. By the way. That's a lot of work because every ballot that is mailed in has to match the signature on the rolls, and if they're distinctly different, they get put aside. Correct correct, and and there there has to be accountability there, especially in its state as large as ours, and and and you know when you find missing ballot box. This is what I really don't want to get into more of the criminal part, but let me turn it on the civil side. We firmly believe that our signature verification um method is constitutional. Clearly it's constitutional. That the legis later drafted great law there and and that's what that's what we hope to have continue in our great state. Well, it sounds like you guys are finally getting a handle on it, and I think the for the sake going forward, especially the importance of the elections, I hope Florida is able to fix, especially in these two counties. Aren't there They're not monitors at every polling place for both sides, the Democrats, Republicans, all parties. Do we not have monitors everywhere? Yes? And and as you knew when one of the issues that that's been very public UM with the with the monitors was you know, some campaigns weren't allowed to have monitors in the rooms and they were told there wasn't enough room. Uh, there wasn't enough space. One county was reported that they were letting UM telling them that they could watch it, but they couldn't hear what was going on in the room, which was completely absurd. So after much litigation and and and much frustration by UM lawyers on on the governor's side, I think all the cabinet members side, of course Rick Scott's side, UM, both parties did have the bottom lines. Both parties did have plenty of representation in the room and where they could here and this is during the recount of course as well, where they could hear UM what was happening when they're doing this manual recount and what they're looking at and how they're making this determination. Especially the provisional ballance. Alright, Pam PONDI, we'll follow the story, hopefully get to the end of it. Thank goodness, in this case, at least the people that truly won and had won by wider margins. Hopefully we can find the reason for the discrepancy from election day? What now here we are what two weeks later? It's insane? Thanks so much for being with us. Alright, eight nine f one, Seawan told free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program. Uh, let's say hi to Terry is in Lake City for are to Terry? Hi, How are you well? Glad you called? Yes, sir. I want to know if anybody I've been listening to to you for the past two years, when you exposed you and your team exposed everything, if anybody on the Democratic size or the left is ever gonna be held accountable. I'm I'm being patient. It seems like we're the Republicans and President Trump and everybody's doing everything right, We're following the rules. But it just seems like the left is just continuously getting away with everything. You know, I don't disagree, and it is that way. I mean, you do have a grand total of twenty high ranking d O, j FBI officials that have either quit under a cloud of of scandal, been demoted, or been fired. And you're raising a great question because Trump says written responses to Muller, we expect to go out this week. I guess it can go out any day now, if not today or tomorrow, Um, that would be before Thanksgiving. Um. The good news is is that clearly the Mueller team didn't feel the need to get into anything about quote obstruction, because the President had the right to fire anybody wanted for any reason. That never was an issue. Um. But you're right, they never got to the heart or the bottom of anything Russia except that, Um. Okay, we we'd known this and Devin noonez It warned Ineen that yeah, they want to medal in American elections. Good news is one report after another says it didn't impact the outcome. But you know, what's the main question they have. Did you collude with the Russians? No? Did anybody you know? No? Did you know that that there was gonna be this wiki League's dump? No? Okay, And that's pretty much the end of the questioning. There never was anything there, And what's so frustrating to me and to so many others, is they let Hillary Clinton, who did violate the Espionage Act, go free because they wanted her to be politically viable, and then she came up with this phony dossier that she paid for, funneling money through a law firm, to an OP research group, to an m I six guy who eventually wouldn't he even stand up for his own dossier and his own his own peace and OP research even though it was disseminated as truth to the American people before that election, and just to hurt Donald Trump and then used to bludgeon him and delegitimize him since he's been president for two years without any evidence. And so the question is if they really cared about collusion, and they don't, then we'd start with Hillary and her email server. And the only person that said it recently that I think is serious is Lindsey Graham. Now, to me, I think if we don't fix it, and we don't we allow these things to happen in the abuse of the powerful tools of intelligence and power. This way, let me tell you what happens to America. We lose our constitutional republic. If you have one set of rules for one group of people in another set for another group of people. If you're gonna dig down deep into the you know, years gone by loan applications and put people in jail for that and let these people go free, we don't have justice in America. I hope that answers your question. One Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program. Story we're following Chicago Tribune now reporting multiple people, including a police officer and shooter wounded in an active shooter attack apparently ongoing at Mercy Hospital. This is in Chicago, and a police officer, multiple other people, including an a parent, shooter wounded in an active shooter attack Mercy Hospital North Side. It has brought out a large police presence UH late this afternoon. The officer was critically injured in the shooting UH earlier this afternoon. We're just finding out about it now is as apparently still ongoing. He's in artical condition, getting an excellent care. Reports of multiple victims in the attack, no reason why given at this particular point in time. Officers are now doing a methodical search. At least one possible offender is shot, and fire officials and other emergency medical personnel were brought in fifteen ambulances on the scene because of the active shooter situation. So hospital employee said she was in her office when a notice came over the public address system in the hospital telling those in the hospital to lock their doors. They were later evacuated and people were put on buses and authorities beginning to deal with the situation. Apparently they had some protocol that they had built in in the beginning. UM part of it is notified Chicago please avoid the area of Mercy Hospital. And now we have one officer in critical condition needing UH everybody's prayers today. UH sad, another shooting in Chicago. One point in Chicago. We're ever going to address the magnitude of shootings that go on in this city that go unresolved. I mean, and it's almost like on a weekly weekday basis, it's happening all the time. So we'll update that story throughout the rest of the day. Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. We've got a good show for you. We'll get to that, and we also have Yeah, Okay, Chuckle Adell is coming up next. The Ice Man's coming back. This guy is the feed defines all ufc mm A fighting, and he's getting back in the ring on Saturday night. I actually spent a training session with a meal. Check in with us a few minutes. We'll also get to your calls one Seawn if you want to be a part of the program. Great Hannity tonight, Uh, Sarah, Greg Dershowitz. Uh. We have a battle over the border. You saw the what's happening. We have been playing it all day. Caravan now in Tijuana and the people there are livid. Tonight at nine to introduce a man that needs no introduction. He has a record of thirty and eight and it is my pleasure and honor to introduce to you Chuck likew Thank you everyone for having me here first to address Tito. I know he's hoping. I know you're hoping. I'm a shell of the man that I was because that's the only read way to have a chance that beat me. But he's gonna find out real quick November then I'm not. I said, still hit just as hard, I still wrestled just as well, and he's gonna get knocked out. I got a sun Louis of this pol California, Chuck USh. All right there it is the big announcement, a huge history, Chuck the Iceman Liddell making a massive comeback to the octagon m m A forty eight years of age. Chuck Liddell is the biggest name in mm A history by far, responsible really almost single handedly. We're putting the UFC m m A on the map. And of course the rivalry between Chuck and Tito or Tease is one of the most notable rivalries in the history of the sport. After nine years of retirement, Uh, Chuck is getting back in the octagon, and he is coming back. He says to teach Tito or Tees, his younger rival, lesson of the kind of fighter and man champion that he should be. And um, this time he returns. You know, a pretty amazing comeback, Chuck Liddell. And I actually had an opportunity once I trained mixed martial arts. It's an eclectic blend of cropmagaw, kempo, jiu jitsu, boxing, street fighting, situational fighting, uh, firearm defense training and and blades and sticks. And you know, I still do it five days a week, about an hour and a half a day. I haven't stopped. Chuck I'm getting bigger, stronger than I've ever been in my life. How are you, my front, I'm doing great. How are you? It's been a long time, and have you been I'm good. So it was one of the great honors of my life when I got to train with you. And I mean, you're forty eight years old, you're making this comeback. How hard you've been training? Oh, I've been training real art. I mean, it's a it's been It's been a long road. You know. It started over a year ago. We got the idea of doing it, and uh been working on getting in shape ever since. And uh, you know, it's it's a it was an interesting road, you know, the learning experience. So it's gonna be at the l A form. I was gonna go until my my plans changed, my daughter's schedule. All sadly conflicted with it, but I wanted to be ringside. Almost every time I buy an M M A fight, you know, you can, you usually get him on demand. I think the last one I got was, uh, did you watch Mayweather? By the way, and what's his name? Oh, my gosh, I'm actually I was him Peru and we were watching it trying to watch and I got to see bits and pieces of it because it was going in and out of us. Well, but the way if if but gregor is gonna fight and you're taking every weapon out of his hand, how could he possibly win? I mean, I thought he did a good job hanging in there for nine rounds and he seemed to, you know, puck her out. But he did it. It's best you could do for I mean, if you're taking a guy that it's never had a boxing match and put him against one of the best defensive boxers of all time and expecting them to do miracles, you know he didn't. I thought he did did a great, great job for for what the situation he was put in. I mean, I think I still believe it would have been a lot more interesting if if you let him meet in the middle. You know, it's not mixed martial arreance, but it's not boxing. Make him have a fight kickboxing. Now that it was an interesting fight, I think that would be probably perfect in the middle. I don't see may Wheather ever and allowing that to happen, and you know, it just takes it took of McGregor's tools out of his pocket. What do you think of McGregor's last fight when he lost Um in his comeback fight. You know, I thought he actually did a great job of fighting. He he he would survive the first couple of rounds. I thought that's what he needed to do, Um, And then he had that third round he had a chance to strike with him. But I think he didn't have enough uh met in the gas day. He didn't have enough pop on his punches anymore to even Abbe is also I mean he war amount, I mean almost and to me, those are the boring fights. I don't like when grappling goes on for that longer period of time and and almost every round. Kabib is so good at it. I mean, you gotta tip your hat to the guy got him on the ground and they're fighting there. Um. You know, there is then emergence. I think to uh m m a fighting and what you've been involved in UFC fighting and that is bare knuckle fighting. But it was a really tough road to get athletic approval, even for states like New York. It was only recently that they allowed the matches to take place at Madison Square Garden most of them for a long time. We're just taking place out in Vegas. Um, do you ever see the day when bare knuckle brawling, no rules, no whole barred, ever comes and is legal? You know, I don't. I don't see that happening um and at any time. So, I mean they're allowing the bare knuckle fighting some places now boxing, Um, I mean, it's it is what it is. I mean, I got people will, people will pay to see it. Someone's gonna try to put it on right, but uh, I think, uh it's gonna stay. They're gonna stay with the big states and big commissions. They're gonna wantch safety rules, they're gonna want there's not gonna go back in. You know you were, did you find it harder? I mean, you were the defining face of the UFC and mm A octagon fighting for so long and it's always good. Almost every single fight. I watch your ring side. So you're still involved heavily in the sport. Yeah, I love this sport. I'll be involved as as long as people want to see me out there. I like being around, I like watching fights. I'm a big fan of the sport. So uh yeah, I'm always gonna be trying to promote the sport. What did you think about could be flying out of the octagon and going after McGregor's guys. You know, that was very disappointing. I mean, you know, I didn't. I was really upset with the fact because he's a good guy. I mean, he he's he's you know, he's a champion, he's a great fight and and he's a great he's just he's got he's kept too cool. But you know, when you let guys get away with that stuff over and over again, all the craziness and people get rewarded for going out there and being uh, you know, doing this crazy stuff. You know, it's it's hard to you know, he snapped, I mean he said it. I lost it. I shouldn't have done it, and you know I snapped, and you know I actually liked it after whatever you're saying is, uh, his dad was gonna kick his butt when he got home. You know that's funny. All right. So you're gonna be fighting at the l A Forum on Saturday night. It's on pay per view. Um, I'm definitely gonna be watching. I'm a huge fan. And you say you're in you have you you've been able to obtain the shape that you were in when you left the Octagon nine years ago. Yeah, I've gotten in great shape. I was camping very well. I didn't I'm not Uh, I'm not beat up. I have. I got through it healthy and I'm I'm in in great condition. I'm in great shape. And you know, I've been on I've been working at for a long time. I came into camp right about the way that I wanted to be at so I can so I can eat regularly during camp. Um. Uh, you know I've I've been on a diet for for a long time. Bas some great life choices. Yeah, life choices in the off season. And uh, just En, it's gonna be big, all right, So it's taken place. Uh, we're gonna be watching it's this Saturday night. You can get it on pay per view and whatever your cable provider or if you like me on Dish TV. You're gonna love it. Chuck Great, just talk to you, man. I listen to poem for you on Saturday. Um, you're the guy. You're the man. And I enjoyed my one day of training with you. I showed that video all the time and I just put it up on Hannity dot Com. If people want to go see it. That's awesome. And also they can watch it on rank yv dot com or PIV dot com. Are your cable providers and your satellite providers all right? Got it? This Saturday night? Chuckola Dell's returned to the octagon. You don't want to miss it. One, Sean want to be a part of the program. Mara is uh in Juno, Alaska. What's up, Mara? How are you hi? Sean? It's an honor to talk to you. Honors all mine. What's going on? So? The day of the election, going back to that, I I was on Facebook, UM, and one of my friends who lived in New York City posted about how proud he was to have ADS and he voted a couple of weeks ago here in juneo um, even though he has lived in Brooklyn for as long as I've known im, which over ten years. Uh So it's pretty breezing voter fraud right on Facebook, and he was actually proud of it, you know, hashtag blue wave. Uh and uh. I was pretty outraged at how he nonchalantly did it. Didn't really feel like there was anything wrong with his behavior, and it made me feel like it was probably a more widespread behavior than they would like us to think. Um, understand, Look, I don't people do this all the time, or if they have multiple homes, where do they decide to vote, register, etcetera. Um, it gets complicated because of tax law more than anything else. But you you know, you have to be able to be the true resident of where you say you are, and people move back and forth a lot. It gets complicated registered, but you only can vote in one place, not to and all that's gonna do is put that person into some type of legal jeopardy. If they're out there not only doing it, but bragging about it and they're not living there, Eventually that can catch up to you. And if it does, you're gonna regret breaking the law. Look, it's sort of like all these people that get in trouble with taxes. I'm like, let's say you can't for whatever reason, you had an emergency and you can't pay your taxes. The worst thing to do is not file, you know, just file the amount that you owe and get one of these tax companies to go in there and work out a deal. Otherwise, you know, and look, they understand that situations can arise. But if you try and hide it, and you don't pay your taxes and file your taxes, You're gonna get in trouble. You know, you can't lie on these loan applications. I mean, that's what got you know, Manafort and all these other people in trouble. You can't do it, and if you do, you're gonna you're risking your liberty and your freedom, and it's just not worth it, you know. I look, I always assumed in the Obama years, every year I did taxes, always just assumed it was tough. I'm gonna get audited, and then I get audited three times since Trump's been president. Nothing comes of it because I pay my taxes if you do your job, follow the rules. I don't like a lot of these laws. They are oppressive. The amount of money Knew You charges me every year, it is beyond oppressive. And it just happens to be where I have to stay doing the jobs that I do. The second I can get an escape and pay less taxes, I'm leaving. You know. I love when my financial guy goes, you need to get out. You can't die in New York. And I look at him every year when he says that I'm like, Okay, I'm really gonna try and plan on that, because none of us plans the day that we die. I don't have a say in that. That's gonna be up to somebody far bigger, more important and powerful than I am. I'm just a speck of dust in this game here, so I recognize that as truth. Also, thank you, Mario is next Broward County? Mario, how are you glad you called? Hey, Sean greeting some deer philled beach. Thank you for taking my call? Yes, sir, thank you. Hey, I have really, I wouldn't say full proof, but a very strong way to stop illegals from voting. What we have to do is we have to remove the voting roles from the state and county databases, moving all into federal and then purge all the dead voters, all the you know, deceased people out of here. And then also in order to get a voter voting card, let it get issued by the federal government where they ask questions like how they do on the credit reports that only the real person that's attached to that social Security number knows things in their life, you know, like what street were they living on when they were a certain age. Um. Also, you know, also another hard thing that they would have to try and get over is these provisional ballots are garbage, to be truthfully, they are uh and and all. They become very important when you get to recount time. You gotta remember that. Um. Look, do I wish there was a universal system all these states, all these that those that have earl voting, those that don't have early voting early. But I'll give you one reason why you let people vote for a month. It's just as problematic. Who's watching all those ballots for a month? Um? Do you have people from both sides able to follow them from the time they arrived to the time they get counted, in the time that they may get recounted. It's it just lends itself to potential corruption. Um. The other thing is is as early as you let people vote, well, what about that last minute surprise that might have changed your mind? You know that becomes problematic when you let people vote that far in advance. I would have I would have some federal guidelines. I don't think people should be voting more than a week ahead of time at the most. I think there are too many issues that can come up in a final week of a campaign that could change people's minds. Once you vote, you can't vote again. I think we have to have voter I d for sure when you present a provisional ballot, if like Arizona is all going to be all mail in ballots, and you have to check every signature and who makes the determination if it matches or it doesn't match, it makes it very very hard. I don't know, why can't we just make voting election day and national holiday. Let everybody go vote that wants to vote. Everyone wants to stay home can stay home. Make it simple. And if you're gonna have machines, have machines that can't be in any way altered with you're gonna do any type of balloting system where you have to fill in the ovals, you better fill in the oval the way it says or that's it. A very specific instructions for everybody that's gonna wrap things up with today. All right, we will have a busy handity tonight. We expect written answers by the President as it relates to Robert Mueller. Will also have the list of the people that need to be investigated. News you won't get anywhere else. Good news doesn't seem to be any subpoena fight about a president giving testimony before grand jury. We have Chairman Newness is going to join us, Sarah and Greg Alan Dershowitz tonight. Also now, people in Tijuana, they are fed up. All right, that's all happening tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. I hope you'll join us. See you tonight at nine back here tomorrow
