venezuela. venezuela's socialist economy famously had collapsed utterly by that point. there was no toilet paper in caracas. people were eating zoo animals to stay alive. the average venezuelan had lost over 10 pounds from starvation. so the point of sending humanitarian aid to venezuela was to t show the world that americans are decent, but more than that, that the american system works. this country is so rich that we can afford to send crutches and wheelchairs to a our enemies. again, that was 2019. it was not the berlin airlift it was the other day. but a lot has changed. we are not shipping any more crutches orwe wheelchairs to venezuela or anywhere else, for that matter, and we are not because we don't have enough for ourselves. less than a year into the joe biden administration, the united states faces massive and potentially dangerous shortages of just about everything. f just this week, one of the largest health care providers in the united states, intermountain health care, began soliciting help from its own patients. according to a local news report, officials at intermountain health care were urging people to "check their closets, attics, and garages for used metal crutches and other assistance." runs the state of utah. i've never seen this, he said. i practiced health care on various continents and recently moved to the middle east. every time i come back to practice health care in north america i am so grateful for our supply chain we take for granted. and now all of a sudden, we can see that we can't order anymore? can't order anymore. not a small thing when you run a hospital. multiply that story times an entire continent and you begin to understand the current state of the american economy. hospitals begging for medical equipment. essential goods unavailable everywhere.gi supply chains frozen just months before christmas. it's not improving. it could get much worse. very quickly. here is a snapshot of where we are tonight. >> the supply chain issue could be hitting yourwh thanksgiving table this year. grocery stores are warning they a shortage of turkeys. >> stores are starting to see shortages of items such as pet food, frozen food, and diapers. >> spent nearly two decades in loudoun county as a winemaker but a lack of bottles nationwide could put his supply at risk.k. >> a shortage of ketchup is impacting restaurants around the country. quantities of single-serve packets have dwindled during the pandemic, leading the tomato-based paste in short supply. >> there are certainly shortages of everything from bread to potato chips. even toilet paper. >> suddenly you just can't buy the stuff you want. >> j book publishers are having trouble getting paper. car companiesub can't buy compur chips, builders having trouble getting lumber, container ships in port are waiting days to be unloaded. >> tucker: yeah.wa it is everything. diapers, pet food, ketchupth bread, et cetera, et cetera et cetera. the forts, particularly the port of long beach, on the west coast, have gotten a lot of attention. the problem is bigger, not just crowded ports. the problems begin thousands miles away. over the last year, the average time it takes for a container to reach the united states from across the pacific from asia has jumped by nearly 50%. it was 51 days. now it is 74 days. not going to change anytime soon. that means most of what you buy in the store or order online is about to become much more expensive. as fox news william la jeunesse reported recently, so much of our retail economy now depends on the cost of shipping goods from china. >> a record 159 ships, 63 in port, but 96 offshore, waiting sometimes weeks to dock. longshoremen say they are ready to heed the president's call for 24/7, but when the ports asked truckers to work the 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift, not enough showed. >> we have three shifts, first second, third. they, choose not to work the third because no one comes to the cargo on the third shift because on the other side of the supply chain, there is no place toto take the container. >> cost of a shipping container from china to l.a. is $16,000 up 330% from a year ago, and once here, the trucking rate per mile is up 23%, not including fuel. >> tucker: so, trucking costs just one link in a very long and quite complex chain, trucking costs up nearly 25%, not including fuel. but of course in real life we do include fuel. fuel is one of the biggest c expenses for americans who don't live in the urban core. that is most people. according to aaa, the average price of gasoline per gallon is now $3.30. to refresh your memory, just a year ago, it was about $2. this country has immense energy reserves. up until recently, bragged about being "energy independent" that was going to free us from ourng dependence on the middle east and almost pointless wars that killed americans underrate our treasury. we were proud of that. how did we get energy shortages in a country that has more energy than it can consume? well, that was not accidental. it was entirely intentional. it was the result of policies that came from washington. and maybe that is why joe biden does not seem upset about it when asked. now, cars may be a threat to the global climate, but more pressing, cars equal physical economy. t they are yours. you can take them where you want to. and by this point we know very well where this administration stands on the question of physical autonomy, so watch joe biden as he is asked about this. >> do you have a timeline for gas prices and when you think they may start coming down? >> my guess is you will start to see gas prices come down as we get by and going into the winter -- excuse me, into next year, 2022.by i don't see anything that is going to happen in the meantime that is going to significantly reduce gas prices. i don't have a near-term answer. >> tucker: gas prices. that is not some kind of esoteric question. again, for most people who don't work at p nonprofits in washingn or have signed at mckinsey gas price is essential and determines how much money have day today yet biden's response the most blase imaginal. "i don't have a near-term answer." "i don't have a near-term answer." that is not always his answer it depends onan what the questin is. so, for example, the administration thought it had to import unvented, unvaccinated refugees, biden had an answer described it as a national emergency that could not wait one moment. the biden white house mobilized the entire u.s. government to get those people into your neighborhood. that was very important for them. but your household budget? how much money you have? whether you can take your kids out for dinner? who cares? deal with it, legacy american. you have no right to expect more. that is their position. so say goodbye to cheap gasoline, probably forever. that was the basis upon which our modern society was structured. that is why we have suburbs. by the way, demonstration hates but most people enjoy living there.at you can't live in suburbs with gasoline you can't avoid. and it is not just gasoline. heating oil, too. and jet fuel, natural gas, and all the other immoral hydrocarbons. cheap fuel is over in this country, and it is intentional. permanent shortagesco ahead. by the way, it is not just fuel. go ahead and try to build something right now, we dare you. the following construction materials have now been listed as "delayed," meaning they are tough to get. they include adhesives appliances, copper, drywall electrical equipment, fabricated metals, furniture, hvac equipment, lumber, pvc pipe steel, and so on, essentially a much everything. good luck fixing your house. or for that matter, filling your fridge. many common goods, the ones you bought at a grocery store last year without thinking about, are now effectively luxury items. >> the statistics are staggering. showing foods prices rose 4.6% this year compared to last year. and when it is broken down to specific food items, the numbers are even higher. with dramatic increases in meat poultry, fish, and eggs, ringing in at 5.10% more. >> tucker: so what is going on here? a lot of things are going on here, and they're happening all at once. the main driver of this is that over time we have become completely, through various administrations, both parties we have become completely dependent on china. the chinese communist party effectively is our new opec. with a word from a they can shut down our economy. at the same time, the ideologues in the white house are raising energy costs, just in case you thought maybe we could make up some of the gap, domestic manufacturing, that is impossible, with energy cost list high. you need cheap energy in order to have a manufacturing economy period. ask anyone in the business. and then to add to this,, there is a labor shortage. once again, the result of long-term sad trends, but that has been dramatically exacerbated by policies from the biden white house, and that labor shortage is hitting paradoxically, at exactly the moment there is an unemployment crisis. that is bizarre. and it is scary. take a look at this one measure. this iss the labor force participation rate. tonight, it is 61.6%. what does that mean? in the middle of the 2008 meltdown, when we felt the foundation shaking and people thought the entire u.s. economy was going to crater, the labor force participation rate was five points higher than it is today. that looked closer at the numbers, the prime age male labor force participation rate which let's be honest, is the essence of this whole thing. now, that measure includes men age 25-54 and what we used to call the prime of their lives. currently, that rate is about 88%. what does that mean? well, for perspective, take you back to 1976, which if you were alive and living in america then, you remember as a pretty grim time, economically. inflation was wreaking havoc on the economy, worried about energy prices again. even then, the labor force per dissipation for working males was nowhere near today, 94%. to be very clear about these numbers, they have no precedent. right now at the exact moment when we need hundreds of factory workers, thousands across the country, you are seeing scenes like this. factory workerstr walking off te job. >> well, this is certainly no small showing by members of the local union, as well as other g.e. employees who say they are not just frustrated by the vaccine mandate, they also feel betrayed by the company they say didn't give them enough time to choose. b >> these factory workers have done a great job. i think this is a slap in the face to them. >> we have been essential for 18 months, and now, we went from heroes to zeros. >> more than 200 schenectady employees walked out on their general electric jobs in protest friday. >> tucker: so take three steps back. what is going on here? well, thisng administration has targeted a very specific portion of the population. targeted them for ideological and political reasons. blue-collar men. the idea is they supported the wrong party, they have retrograde attitudes, they engage in wrong think, and we are going to crush them. so systematically, they have. the mandates are only one way in which the biden administration has decided to hurt thisto specific group of americans beer the problem is, this might not be evident to the geniuses who work in the biden administration, you can't run a country without these people. they are the ones who know how to do things. not just report to the hr department, but fix things build things, keep the power grid going, fly your airplane et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. and it is exactly this group that is being ground to dust beneath the heel of the ideologues in the biden administration. so what does this mean for you?o well, it is going to have massive ramifications for your life. you cannot buy back b a refrigerator if there is no one to build.re if there are no materials to assemble it, if there is no want to put it on a truck and drive it to your house. so it is a problem for consumer goods, but it is bigger than consumer goods. at some point soon in this continental country that relies on its vital transportation grid, you may have trouble getting a flight. southwest airlines, we brought you the storyienid repeatedly, s continuing to see canceled flights. we just got this text from someone at the company. "southwest still canceling or severely delaying over a thousand flights daily due to crew noncompliance. as an example, this past saturday, saw 1352 cancellations delayed. in dallas alone, we have over half the baggage handlers not coming into work." again, these are the people being targeted for pain by the administration. and because no one likes this works in the american mediaa there is not one person at cnn or msnbc who has any link to this part of the culture or these kind of people, this story is essentially going unreported. why are things not working? because the people who know how they work are being fired, or pushed to the point where they are walking off the job. so here we are at the end of october. think ahead a little bit. what is this going to look like in, say, six weeks, when the entire united states decides to get on an airplane and visit their relatives for the holidays? well, we've got tuesday's numbers from the website flight awareness, southwest is one example had 863 delays, the most of any carrier. this is a problem and about to get worst. the white house has been asked about the transportation stoppages across the country.a we played the tape for you before and you're going to play it again because it tells you everything about their attitudes. here is joe biden's chief lack being asked why can't people buy things in stores anymore? here's our response. >> people couldn't get dishwashers and furniture and treadmills delivered on time not to mention all sorts of other things, so why is it -- >> the tragedy of the treadmill that is delayed. >> tucker: you can see the little smirk. that is freshman year dorm room at oberlin. your treadmill didn't come. yeah, it's not just treadmill it is bread, dog food, ketchup building supplies, everything from a flight to see my ailing grandmother. these people have no tactile sense of what the country is like, so instead of answering these most basic problems when you are running a country, you care if people can take flights across it or if they can afford to drive their own cars or buyro ketchup. instead of answering any of these questions, they are lecturing us about how we should be delighted that we have a new four-star trans admiral. that is the prize they are bringing to us. you voted for us, here is her trans admiral, be happy. among other things, these are totally unserious people. they are purely ideological. they do not care if the actual country, the physical country comes apart at the seams,s, as long as the population dutifully repeats the correct slogan. once you understand that, you understand why every day we get some frivolous new announcement about some social justice goal that in the end will not improve the life of a single american citizen.n here is today's example. the state of department just announced it will issue the first passport ever with an x gender p marker. huh? first of all who cares and second of all why is the u.s. government trying to pretend gender is not real, it is the realest thing in human society and the basis of civilization. but whatever. they lectured us today, "this is for those who don't identify as male or female." so you will not be able to get on a plane because no one is aware looking at the airlines anymore but at least you will not get missed gendered. another example, ongoing house intel committee with the heads of the cia, nsa, dni, not on how the intel agencies, have been weaponized against american citizens, no, that would be too germane, that might actually do something for you if they stopped reading y your texts, lt you post what you wanted on facebook. this hearing wasas about dei. that is not a new intel agency. it is a new cult, it is called diversity, equity, and inclusion. so the hearing began with and schiff complaining, this is a key problem for most americans, that all the intel briefers are white men. >> i can't help but notice the majority of briefers to appear before the committee are white and male. we need to recruit officers with diverse backgrounds in the ic and show them there is a path forward to advance to grow their careers to top leadership positions. >> tucker: oh, can't help but notice my intel briefers are white men. is that a problem for you recently as't you are trying to fix your garage? a problem for you every time you fill up your truck for $3.30 a gallon? if only we had more diverse intel briefers, this would be a better country. that is what they think, that is what they are spending their time on and you are paying for it. the white house just issued its first ever national gender equity and equality strategy. that happen on friday.y. did you miss it? we hear you were waiting in line trying to buy food.ig one of the highlights from that plan, the white house says it will work to end cash bail. oh, that will make your life better.. but that's not all! the white house also announced and wants to, and we are quoting, "seek to eliminate barriers that prevent immigrants from accessing government-funded services." oh, that is the whole game right there. so you are getting poorer, gas prices are going up, we completely lost control of the infrastructure in the country what are the chances we are a going to have blackouts this summer when people dare to turn on the air conditioning? about 100%. the white house, instead of spending a single moment trying to fix actual problems that actually affect your life, has turned the entire force of the federal government on this question: how can illegal aliens get more free stuff from the government? that tells you everything.f ♪ ♪ so, tonight we want to premiere a trailer for a documentary we have been working on for about six months. it is but january 6th. we believe that it answers a lot of the remaining questions from that day. our conclusion?

>> you know, thanks for having me on, tucker. you know, i'm not surere why i m sort of constantly under attack it seems. i guess we could ask the people who are attacking me, but regardless of the attacks, what will remain unchanged is the fact that we are going to be making databasere decisions abot public health in florida. we have had a tremendous amount of success already thanks to the governor's leadership, and nothing anyone says is going to change the approach that we take to public health, which is to say that we are not going to be senseless, which it characterizes what this past year and a half have been. >> tucker: can you -- it is so reassuring to hear that, because you clearly meet it, it is not a talking point. can you give us an example of as you put it, database science-based decision florida has made that different from other states decision? >> i think a really good example is this obsession with masking kids in school, and when you look at the evidence for mask mandates in schools, it's actually very weak. the highest quality evidence we have, in fact, for masks basically shows -- this is what the high quality evidence shows -- matt, you know, that there is really no evidence of a health benefitth as an improvemt in a child's health outcome by implementing these mask mandates, and there is not even any solid evidence for cloth masks, so where the benefit has been shown, it has primarily been with surgical masks, but you know, americans have unfortunately been just, slammed constantly with this message that you must mask these children, but we have not asked enough about the high-quality data, and it just doesn't support it. and we don't do it in florida. >> tucker: no, well, much to the gratitude of the people who live there. doctor, i am grateful you came on tonight and i trust we will see youuyo again. thank you very much. don't let them -- don't let them change your course. i know you won't. thank you. - >> thank you. >> tucker: someone we have wanted to talk to a couple weeks ago, a reporter from espn who has just left that company because of a mandate. 1 of thousands of americans who has been forced to choose between earning a living and taking medicine she doesn't want to. she has reasons for the decisions she made and will explain them to us next. ♪ ♪ >> ♪ ♪ >> tucker: recently, espn like a lot of big companies around the country inform some employees they would have to follow to joe biden's vax mandates or leave, and some people did leave.e one of the people who left was a reporter called allison williams. she had good reason for that. she thought about it deeply, so we wanted to talk to her for quite some time. she joins us tonight to explainh why she did what she did. allison, thank you so much for coming on. i was so struck by your story because you were successful in what you were doing. you weree in the job you wanted to be in. you gave up t an awful lot to do what you did. i should say you are now at "the daily wire," i should add that. i'm interested, why you gave up so much in order to make this choice? >> i felt like i had no other choice, honestly, tucker. this was the most difficult decision i've ever had to make in my life. there were a lot of sleepless nights. there were a lot of tears shed leading up to making this decision, but ultimately i had to do whatat was best for my health, individually, and i had to consider where my husband an, i were at in our family planning, and this wasn't a vaccine that i was comfortable with receiving at this time given our desires to grow our family. i knew i wasn't at high risk for covid, i then got covid, it was a very mild illness for me, so there really was no compelling health reason for me to get this injection. it really came down to keeping my job, and i want to make it clear, i am not anti-vax, but i am absolutely b anti-mandates. these are wrong. it violates bodily autonomy. if we allow corporations or a governments to tell us what is best for our health, that is a scary place to be, and i really felt compelled, tucker, to stand up and speak out against these mandates because i think if we don't, we really are opening ourselves up to some long term ramificationsdo of which we probably can't even imagine at this time. >> tucker: i think you aren right and i am grateful that you did what you did at such cost and that you are explaining why you did it, but as you explain it, i can't help but notice everything you said is so reasonable, so not extreme, so fundamentally american, i have to ask, when you said this to your supervisors, i suppose, at espn, what did they say? >> you know, initially i wasn't really encouraged by the conversations i had with my reporting manager at espn. it seems like logic could prevail here. i was allowed to do my job throughout the fall of 2020 and nobody had a vaccine at that point, right? i tested weekly, i masked, and safely and efficiently did my job, so he thought there could be accommodationsre to report fm live sporting events. the company did not see it that way. they require all employees who travel to events as of august 1st be fully vaccinated, no exemptions whatsoever. so once i realize that, i knew i would have to walk away from the college football season and that was an absolute punch in the gut, but i hoped i could contribute the way i had previously, hosting virtually for example, i even helped coach up some of the younger sideline reporters they had hired. i really felt like i could virtually do my job without being a risk to other people and so i applied for an accommodation, and they denied it. they said it would cause undue hardship to the company to accommodate my request to do my job without being vaccinated. >> tucker: undue hardship to the company? what about you, the employee who loyally served the company? i guess when they start hurting reasonable people like you, then you feel like, you know, what is the agenda here exactly? >> yeah, and i think that is what really alarmsth me throught all of this. there seems to be just a lack of logic. everything is being done in the name of public health and safety, and that is why we need these mandates, right, to increase vaccination rates. but let me ask you this. are we safer as a community with less police officers? are we better off as a community when our hospitals are short-staffed because nurses are forced to leave their jobs over these mandates?os i am one of many across the country who lost their job because of a mandate. my impact on society? not that significant, i am a sports broadcaster, i understand that. but therets are people who contribute and uplift and support this community, members are military, good people who love their jobs, are now deciding or having to decide between providing for their family and getting an injection which they aren't comfortable with. that is un-american. that is not what takes place in the land of the free. >> tucker: no, you are exactly right and you speak for many and very articulately and thoughtfully. allison williams, i am grateful you came on tonight. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: so, all of a sudden, youha may have noticed under the pretext on public health, our democracy functions differently than it used to. mollie hemingway has taken a very close look at the last election, a very rigorous facts-based look at the election.el called "rigged." we had mollieba hemingway for an episode of "tucker carlson today." here is part of it. ♪ ♪ >> changing the way we vote which we did, give us the overview of what that looked like in 2020. >> so, people have been fighting about the way we vote since before we were a country. we had a lot of changes in the way people vote. it used to be you would go down in front of a judge and publicly sayub who you are voting for, fr town council, but that people who owed money to other people could have their vote manipulated because it was so public, so we slowly moved to secret ballots. we also used to have elections on different days throughout the country and that causes problems in some presidential elections because the way the early states are voting affects how other states, alsoow people are moving between states to vote in multiple elections, so we moved to one day, secret ballot, and we kind of stick there for quite some time, but then we moved, a few decades ago, into opening up to mail-in balloting or absentee balloting. i we always had absentee balloting for people who are away for legitimate reasons. democrats have for a long time wanted to move to more mail-in voting. they had some problems with enthusiasm on election day sometimes, so they decided if they couldld move to mail-in voting, they can kind of get rid of that enthusiasm gap, they can put their army of public -- public employees -- union types out to make sure everybody who is on their records is voting. they can harvest ballots. they can do other things associated with mail-in ballot in, so they are just pushing for these changes overci a long perd of time. j in the 2020 election, they actually wanted it long before the 2020 year starts. once covid happens, though, it is the perfect excuse to just dramatically change the way we vote, to flood the system with tens of millions of mail-in ballots that get some people to agree to just mail ballots to everybody who is on the role which is interesting because 10% of the population moves each year. without changing -- they might go register to vote in their new state or somewhere else, but they stay on the rules in the old state. and so, all of these changes happen. some of them are illegal, some of them are illegal. the constitution requires all such changes be made by the state legislature, but you start seeing a lot of these changes happening from otherpp officials or from courts agreeing to make changes that the state legislature didn't agree to, and so it is just this chaos and intentional chaos. it is actually part of the democrat strategy. >> tucker: so what the last election, go through forensically and figure out what happen. mollie hemingway did that. the whole hour of that conversation streamingal on foxnation.com. so, virginia is a democratic state, democrats always win there. really? all of a sudden looks like a republican could become governor in the commonwealth of virginia on tuesday. a central issue in the campaign are your kids yours, or do they belong to the teachers union and terry mcauliffe?rs glenn youngkin is a republican who may be elected governor of virginia on tuesday. he joins us after the break. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: it's instructive when a political race comes down to a single philosophical question. the race for governor in virginia has. here is the question do parents have a right to control what their children learn in school? really simple. now, the man running as a democrat for governor of virginia, terry mcauliffe says parents do not have that right.or g watch. >> i don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. you know, i get really tired of everybody running down teachers. i love our teachers. and what they have done through covid, these are real heroes that deserve our respect. >> tucker: so when he said that, it seems like a gaffe.e. really, parents don't have a right to influence what their children learn in schools? which they pay for? it turns out it is not a minority view. virtually the entire democratic party agrees there for "the washington post" agrees withth terry mcauliffe and published an op-ed entitled "parents claim they have the right to shape their kids curriculum. they don't." polls in virginia show that parents disagree. so this has become a defining issue, not just in virginia, but nationwide. the doj as you are well aware has launched criminal investigations into parents who dared to question school boards. that is why on capitol hill several senators called on the attorney general of the united states, who was a total sleaze ball, to resign. watch. >> that is shameful. this testimony, your your performance is shameful. thank god you are not on the supreme court. you shouldn't resign in disgrace. >> general garland, your weaponized the fbi, department of justice, your u.s. attorneys are cataloguing all the ways they might prosecute parents like mr. smith because they want to be involved in their children's education and they want to have a say. it is wrong, it is unprecedented to my knowledge and history of his country, and i call on you to resign. >> tucker: so, glenn youngkin is running for governor of virginia as a republican and has found himself right in the middle of this debate. he could win on this. he joins us tonight. glenn youngkin, o thank you so much for coming on. i don't think anybody at the beginning of this race thought it would be about this question. should parents have any influence over their own children?ts were you surprised that it turns out there people who think parents don't have a right to influence their own kids? >> well, tucker, thanks for having me tonight. no, i am not surprised, because virginia's parents are particularly loud in county b where it has been ground zero theye have been trying to stand up for their kids for the last 20 months. open our schools, stop teaching our kids what to think and teach them how to think. make sure we understand what is going on in the classroom. my opponent, he stood there and said no, parents do not have a right to know what is going on in the classroom. in fact,la he doubled down and tripled down and quadrupled down on it and just yesterday, you know, he was with president biden yesterday, and i'm sure they discussed this. he could have told president biden president biden, i'm siding with parents because in virginia, byh the way, parents have a legal right to make decisions with regards to their children's education. it is a legal right in virginia. and terry mcauliffe told president biden, if he could, he didn't, he should change that. what happened today merrick garland, he doubled down and said no. i am absolutely maintaining my position. that the doj and fbi should be investigating parents. parents who are trying to stand up for their children when there has been a sexual assault in a school bathroom, and we have a board -- a board of education in loudoun county that tried to hide it from parents, hide it from the public. and move i for this child into another school. andld then that child again committed another sexual assault. i have called for a full investigation. i have called for an investigation of the school board, the commonwealth attorney, the state superintendent. i'll tell you, the attorney general of the unitede states should resign and oh, by the way, the fbi should be investigating these folks too.te this is just absolutely un-american. and as governor in virginia, i'm going to stand up for parents, i am going to stand up for children, i am going to stand up for the fundamental rights for parents to make decisions with regards to their kids education. this has absolutely got to stop and that is why i am running tucker, because it is time for individual liberty to win overau big government control and myy opponent terry mcauliffe believes in big government control and i believe in parents rights when it comes to their children's education, to make decisions for them. >> tucker: i mean, what they are really saying is we are your children's parents and p you are not, and based on that alone, we are rooting for you, glenn youngkin, on tuesday in virginia. thanks so much for coming on the show tonight. >> tucker, thanks for having me. this is a big moment for america, too. >> tucker: it certainly is. thanks a lot. glenn youngkin. we will be right back. ♪ ♪ every day, coventry helps people get cash for their life insurance policies they no longer need. i'm an anesthesiologist and a pain physician by specialty. i was trying to figure out what i could do with this term life insurance policy. i'm sorta stuck because i can't just go out and buy more insurance, because of my diagnosis. i called coventry direct and everything clicked. there actually were a lot more options that i thought there ever would be. coventry helped michael like we've helped thousands of people sell all or part of their life insurance policies for cash. even a term policy. there probably are a lot of people that are in a similar situation who don't know they have an option. i would definitely recommend talking to coventry about it. coventry made it very easy. i just couldn't have asked for a better experience. don't cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it's worth. visit coventrydirect.com to find out if your policy qualifies. or call the number on your screen. >> tucker: top of the hour we showed you the trailer for our latest documentary, a three-pard series called "patriot purge," the best thing we've ever done. we are really proud of it because we think it answers what actually happenedbe on january 6th. it all debuts next week. the first part is on monday. that's it for us tonight. we will be back tomorrow, but in the meantime, the great sean hannity takes over. >> sean: as usual, thank you tucker, and welcome to "hannity." >> announcer: americans held hostage behind enemy lines. day 74. >> sean: all right, day 74 americans abandoned by your president joe biden. day 50 since joe biden has not mentioned does he abandon. today, joe did not do anything did not mention anything, he had zero public events, not one. now for most americans, it was a normal workday, but not for joe. he apparently just does nothing. keep in mind, this is not an uncommon occurrence. there have been 12 days so
