didn't change course or offer a new solution. instead doubled down on masks and mandates and restrictions calling them unpopular but effective. watch. >> i know mask requirements are not popular for many. not popular for those who are anxious to get them. my administration isn't to control your life, but to save your life and the lives of others that will save thousands of american >> so you're watching this. and the obvious question is, if joe biden's policies are so effective, why are we in the middle of another massive surge here's another question, we're almost two years into this pand why are we still experiencing a severe shortage of covid 19 tes three weeks ago reporters in th press corps were begging the pressn secretary for a plan to ramp up testing, jen psaki thought those concerns were stupid and tonight she's forced to circle back. watch. >> a couple of weeks ago, you stood at the podium and there was a discussion about sending tests to people's homes and you said should we send them to every am as you reflected on the change in omicron, have you reflected on your tone in that answer? >> well, jeff, i would say there's not a day that goes by that i don't leave this podium and wish i would have said something with greater context or more precision or additional informa >> yeah, you were mocking the press corps. her boss joe biden was also short on answers. watc >> what's your message to americans who are trying to get tested now and who are not able to get tested and are wondering what took so long to ramp up te >> come on, what took so long? >> i'm hearing that from people who are trying to get tested no before the holidays. >> well, what took so long is it didn't take long at all. what happened was the omicron virus spread more rapidly than anybody thoug >> he never takes responsibilit according to joe, it's not really his fault. fox news is to blame for anything bad that happens in the age of covid. wa >> the unvaccinated are responsible for their own choic but those choices have been fueled by dangerous disinformation on cable tv and social media. the companies and are making money by peddling lies and offering misinformatio that can kill their ownin customers and supporters. it's it's immoral. i call on the pervayers of these lies and misinformation to stop it, stop it now. >> so we're the problem wasn't it his vice president kamala harris told people not t take the vaccine because trump got it done? joe biden is so concerned after bashing cable tv, he vilifieddo manchin, he accused manchin of hurting little children, watch. >> you strip away all of the dignity of a parent looking at their child -- i'm not joking about this. imagine being a parent looking at their child you can't afford you have no house to borrow against, no savings, it's wrong but all of the things in that bill are going to reduce prices >> angry and wrong. biden took four questions after coughing his way through a poorly writte and according to joe, it was four questions too many.y. >> i having to pay more than the money you have because things have gone up. or bring down all of those across the board from child care to -- child care tax i'm not supposed to be having this press conference right now >> so whose in control in the white house. joining us is joe concha and laura trump. joe, i will start with you first. i will give the press some credit. will ment they did ask some tou it doesn't seem like joe is still equipped to answer becaus maybe he doesn't have an answer >> laurence, when he says, i'm not supposed to be having this press conference right now. that's his handlers who told hi that, right? and that sums up year one of this administration to a tee. i'm not supposed to be up here being held accountable for my actions. this is an administration and president that time after time continues to be completely caught offguard on things they should see from a country mile away. wait, the taliban has captured kabul? we didn't see that coming. wait, inflation isn't transitory? it will be here for sometime, we didn't see that coming. law enforcement isn't the problem? skyrocketing violent crime is happening because police are demonized and criminals don't fear prosecution because bail laws have been neutered, wow, w didn't see that coming. and, wait, migrants are flooding the border after we invited them in, stopped building the wall and attacked our own border patrol? we didn't see what happening. this testing should have ramped up month 'ing ago, laurence, as you know. as usual, team biden, dime short. for them to say we didn't see this variant coming shows you they are exceptional complaining and placing blame and not so good on governing, o inflation, on crime, on the border, on education, on afghanistan, find an issue democrats can win on and run on in 2022 and win valuable prizes they're going to pay for it dearly in 2022 and 2024 at the no question about it, laurence. >> i hope you're right. lara, i want to go to you. your father-in-law did something that no other president would be able to do because the businessman wasn't in to the washington bur he got operation warp speed done, got us a vaccine in recor setime, because he was able to all of that red tape out of the the biden administration had on job, get those vaccines into people's arms and get testing ramped up. but they just weren't able to do it. why? >> well, i think joe just laid out some great reasons -- i mean, they have no plan, they never had a they don't take responsibility for anything. and it's been frustrating as an american citizen to watch failure after failure and feel like we're not information whatsoever out of this white house. if you look a where we are right now with the omicron variant, if this white house wanted people to take it seriously and put a little stoc in what they say, then they could behe transparent with us. they could tell us that while this variant of covid is very transmissable, it's likely the least lethal covid variant that we will see. in fact, there has been one death linked to the om variant thus far. instead, they tell us we're going to have a winter for unvaccinated people of severe illness and death for unvaccinated, for their familie we're going to overrun hospital there's absolutely nothing to back that up. but all they want to do is just scare tactics, it's fear mongering. it's all about politics but they are terrified, laurence, joe just said it. they know 2022 and 202 coming up quickly. they know they have failed the american people at every single turn. they don't know what to do abou so i guess the answer is more c i guess the answer is to make people afraid, keep the masks going, keep the mandates going make sure that our frontline workers are leaving their jobs over these insane vaccine manda keep the issues with the supply chain going because of it as we it's all bad for america. we have no transparency. who knows who is really running the count and no one believes them, no on buys any of this at this point >> you know, i -- i was just watching this press conference joe, and seeing the president coughing all over the place, no masks as he's telling other americans to do the same thing. if you want to see a super event, see how the president doesn't know basic science and what to do when you're coughing and not to get it all over him and put it all over the podium. this is basic this is rules for thee and not for me. >> well, it's more like for d's as for democrats and no for me. there's an indoor mask now in washington, d.c. i love this thing when for instance even the press secretary walks out with a mask then does a 30 to 45 minute press conference without a mask while reporters are wearing masks asking questions and puts it on and walks back out. there's no common sense in this in any way, shape, or form. i don't understand how the president and the press secretary is the face of this administration. let's face it, continues to attack joe manchin as they didst over the joe manchin did what was common sense, laurence, which was in west virginia polls have president biden at 65% disapproval, three quarters of west virginiians oppose the build back better bill. if you're joe manchin, what else should you have done than say youte know what? if i'm against this, i'm sure if we spend trillions for, that will increase inflation more we're at a 40-year high, we should press pause on this until we have a better idea of where we are from an economic perspective or an i but the administration tried to gope ahead with this anyway democrats did. and this is something they will rue the day they decided to go big on this instead of trying to gete ted individual bills passed laurenc shavings make a pile, get some little wins here and there on certain issues and then maybe build some momentum. instead, this is a calculation when we look back at this presidency, this was the end of it because they went too big and it was too big not tos fail. >> then they called manchin a liar in the press release. joe biden is promised to be a moderate just like manchin? who changed? the president of the united states now he wants joe manchin to do the same thing. we'll cover tha joe concha, laura trump, thanks for joining me tonight. an important reminder, christmas is around the corner. don't worry, if you're shopping for last-minute gifts for the kids, the state of new jersey has you watch this. >> dear santa, i don't want games, i don't want toys, just give merere the covi >> this holiday season, there's no better gift than peace of mi get vaccinated today. >> that's what kids are thinking about, h clearly vaccines have become an identity for many on the left. to the end, democrats are busy denigrating two classes of citizens, vaksed and unvaksed. some are trying to block unvaccinated individuals from f according to the biden administration, if we're all good and obedient, at some poin in the future, we might not hav reto wear a mask all the time. here to react, author of why america matters, from hud secretary dr. ben carson. thank you for joining us tonight. you have treated a ton of patients. people know you for what you're able to do that no one else knows is take the twins apart from each other. doctor, when you see the medical institution kids directly and not talking to their parents, what goes through your mind? >> well, it's very disturbing that we would take advantage of children like that. you know, the human brain is an incredibly complex and it is developing at a rapid rate from the time of conceptio when a baby is born, almost all of the organs have matured except for the brain. the brain continues to develop into your we are now trying to take these children and take advantage of the fact that their parents are not involved in a decision making and trying to twist them and manipulate them and it's nothing short of child abuse quite frankly. you couple that with the fact that we're making them wear t masks at a time whe supposed to be learning how to correlate people's facial expressions with what they're saying, which is a very important part of socialization and we're not taking into consideration any of the ramifications of what we're doi it's like you're going ahead with blinders on. and almost like zombies everybody has to lihave this vaccine. you know? e fact of the matter is, we have a tremendous medical system here. and why not let people have the real information and work with their healthcare providers one size does not fit all.e certainy for elderly people you know, the vaccination seem to make good s when you do a benefit/risk anal but for young people particularly for children who are healthy, who have almost zero risk from the virus, why would you now subject them to long-term risks that you don't know anything about. >> that's exactly right, doctor. dr. fauci was just on another network, msnbc, and when a reporter asked him if you should allow a family member to your house for christmas if they haven't been he said, i would don't that. for someone that we trust doctor, what is your advice on that? >> well, my advice is to use some common sense. if they're -- if your family member has had covid and has natural immunity, they are safer than somebody who's h if they've had vaccinations that's good. and if they're healthy and you're healthy, that's good, you need to take all those things into considera but to act like the police, that's not necessary. and particularly, given the fact that the omicron variant is not very virulent. everybody is going to have it. i predict with all of the testing we're going to be doing we'll have massive numbers of people who test positive and this add administration will have no idea what to do with them? >> should we stop testing, doctor, so muc if people are asymptomatic, they're not showing any signs and perfectly healthy, should w continue to test those individu >> i think we should give the thought to not testing people who are asymptomatic. we're going to end up with a real pro we're going to have massive numbers of people who test posi what are we going to do? are we going to shut everything down? it doesn't make any sense. if you're dealing with something thatak doesn't make people very sick, we need to be particularl concerned about our elderly people and the people who have co-morbid conditions and we nee to direct our attention to them but we need to be looking at th we have the merck anti-viral, w have the pfizer anti-viral which show tremendous promise decreasing hospitalizations by are you kidding me? we're not pushing that? that should be an we should get that out. when people do test positive, we have something to do. >> what's holding it up? you've been in the private sector and also in what holds something like this. >> well, when i was on the controversy task force, there was a sense of urgency. i don't see that sense ofe, urgency now why aren't they really anxious to get it under control? and you know, think about it, if we were so afraid of this virus if this administration were so afraid of it, why are they letting people come through the southern border, 20% of whom are infecte there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense if you're talking about logic and common > those are the people we kn that doesn't include the got-aways, doc? we thank you for what you've done with this coun >> thank you, it's always a pleasure to be with you. thank >> thank you so much. coming up, biden's poll numbers are worse than ever. but don't worry, dem unveiled a brand new political the people in west virginia and the people who live there. and a shocking new report of the southern border as hannity cont. e southern border as hannity want to save on your home internet? xfinity is proud to support the emergency broadband benefit

voters sa democratic accomplishments more than they expected. surge in inflation, rise in energy costs, with no end in sight, is a stark reminder of the failure of joe biden and the failure of the de get this, according to a new cn poll, biden's economic numbers have cratered to a point even lower than jimmy carter. it shows you how much people are losing confidence with the bide i think a lot of voters are starting to have buyers remorse because they say that joe doesn't only not have the stamina, but everything that he promised as far as being a moderate, he lied to the american people and now he want to blame your colleague, joe ma >> hello, laurence. merry chris so refreshing to see dr. ben carson coming out and being the voice of reason. we need oning in covid. the biden administration has been a disas when he cancelled the pipeline that contributed to rising gas he opened the borders so we had a record surge of illegal immig the embarrassing and dangerous surrender in afghanistan. and, you know, the only solution is spending more money. that's a double whammy.am not only do you create way more dollars chasing too few goods. so that's the definition of inflation, but you're spending those dollars to make it possible for people not re-engage in the workforce. you don't have the manufacturers to hire more people, so that exacerbates the supply of goods so the policies of the is what we are seeing the results of, but it i their policy. it's accurate to call them incompetent, but that's way too kind. desert their policies. their policies were evident from the start and now it's catching up with them. >> i want to take you to your colleague, joe manchin. what was going on behind the scenes? seems like he was very transparent on where he stood o this piece of legislation. he thought it was way too much spe he communicated that to thehe white house, he communicated that to the american public. but it seems like the biden administration weren't willing to, you know, compromise on the issue and when he said he was done, they decided to have his staffers out there and leak and smear this man. >> sounded to me he laid out in great detail what he would accept, and the biden administration and those in congress figured they could pressure him into rolling and shove it down his throat. and they developed a plan of dishonest scoring, something that's about $5 trillion in 1.75, and when the cbo score came out, joe manchin said i can't buy this. plus, he was highly concerned about inflatio a 6.8% consumer price index. 9.7% producer price index. this is a disaster for the very people democrats purport to rep seniors on fixed income and people on the lower income of our income spectrum. inflation hurts them the most. mark zuckerburg and jeff bezos, they're not going to be bothere by inflation. they're rolling in the dough. it's the poor people and elderly that are hurt by in again, inflation caused by democrat policies. >> you know, senator, i have to ask you, it seems like the republicans are going to take back the house. you have to take back the senat so if you get the power back in your hands, what are you going to do for the american people. because they're not going to have the squishy nonsense they're going to be strong for an america first agenda. what's the agenda for you guys? >> i think we should continue with the successful trump agenda, reduce regulation maintain a competitive tax system, and stay off of the backs of the america let them live their lives, buil their business, and have all of the products and services they value and get the government ou of their lives as much as possi it's successful. that's what made america great. our freedom the ability to dream, aspire an not big government. >> it's a simple formula senator. hope your colleagues follow it. thank you for joining us on hannity t democrats continue to point fingers at joe manchin for dealing their far left spending spree a much-needed realty chec who do you think knows west virginiians better, far left democrats or senator manchin? fox news digital went to the mountain state for reaction. >> i support joe manchen 120%. >> >> support him not backing down to biden. >> nothing that bill was going to help west virginia and, in fact, it would have cos us jobs. for which we would of course be paying the tax base. >> it was the right thing to do too much money going the wrong >> he did a good thing in denying it. >> that is west vir but, of course, democrats and their allies in hollywood can't help but launch more smear attacks against everyday americ look at this disgusting tweet from bette midler, quote, he sold us out. he wants us all to be just like his state in west poor, illiterate, and strung ou midler later apologized, but we all know how she really feels. even worse, new york congressma jamal bowman said this about th west virginia senator, take a l >> it's tremendously frustratin for me as a black man in americ because once again, it's ann example of joe manchin as a white man showing that he doesn't care about black people he doesn't care about latinos. he doesn't care about immigrants, women. and he doesn't care about the poor. he is a millionaire and he has the privilege to kick the can down the road and not vote for this bill while the people in my n district are suffering. >> here we go. the same old tactics. here for reaction, congressman mcdonald and the author of all american christmas. shawn duffy thank you for being with me tod congressman, i will start with you first. this is the same tac but i would like to educate the congressman about how black folks and latinos were doing under the trump administration. >> well, look, let me tell you whether you're black or hispanic, whether you're jamal bowman or bette midler, they don't understand the economics going on in this country. if prices are rising out of control, that damages your ability to live in your life. bette midler doesn't understand that, she's a wealthy actress. god blessr her for her success. the colleague from new york has forgotten the money spent by this administration and the terrible covid policies, the tw governors of new york now are what crushed the poor people of the home state of new york. democrats need to learn from their mistakes but they're more committed to politics than they are the economics of the american people. >> shawn, you listen to these folks in west v they respect their senator elling the american people what they -- how they really feel about this legislation. and, yet, it doesn't seem likee the democratic party cares, i mean, he's the only democrat really t >> well, but the one who cares about west virginia is joe manc donald trump got 68% of the vot in west virginia and here you have, you know, joe manchin, a democrat, trying to run and win in a state that's heavily repub you have to be smart about your so when you have bette midler attacking west virginia, west virginia understands that build back better has a slew of green new deal provisions that kills energy that kills west virginia jobs and raises their taxes. but if i can make one other point on the race issue, whether you're socialism or communism massive debt or inflation, it doesn't care about the pigment of your skin, it affects all of us, the if you go to venezuela or cuba you can have people with more pigment and they're getting destroyed by this policy. they destroy families and economies that's why good smart republicans are standing up and pushing back. thank god for joe saying, listen, this will destroy the american dream, i don't care if you're poor, rich black, or man or woman, it's going to kill us all. i'm going to say no to it. good for him. >> it wasn't just a racial smea it's about calling these voters strung out on drugs, poor. they don't know any better.dr so we have to rescue them. this is what they really feel about vot >> listen, the truth will alway be that people in their ordinar lives know far more than libera elites, especially those who might live on the coasts or in washington, d.c. i will take what the people of west virginia or florida or missouri or texas say about government overspending than somebody who has basically lived at the top of american life and doesn't understand the economic realities on the ground of ever and as a member of congress, i will tell you, there's far too many members who know the true impact of economic policy and how washington has made that worse year-over-year over year.r. i'm staying with t >> yeah, shawn, you've been the ou've been through the halls o. you see how this thing operates every two years, congress is th every -- every six years, you got the senate. what do you see >> republicans take over the ho it's very simple. it's the stop of the t biden agenda. republics won't be -- biden won't b do anything, pass any legislation because joe biden will never sign it. the best hope is we stop this craziness. and in the senate and have a good 2024, you can roll back some of these pol but democrats understand if you get build back better in the place, they know it's almost impossible to roll those policies back. remember when o john mccain said no to obama care and they hailed him as a maverick, isn't he a wonderful republican who voted no against the reformed obama care. where are the democrats right now?rm saying i love joe manchin. he's a maverick. he's going his own they don't say that right now. they hate mavericks in the ck democrat party. but they love them in the republican party. we're going to have a great 202 and 2024 and get america back o track and have america first policies to get us on track. >> i find it comical that you're only a maverick when you're on their side. the moment you go to the other side, then you have to get out. you have to get out of we don't want to be associated with you. you're evil and racis this guy has been a democrat fo they accept bernie. they accept crazy bernie. but manchin has t i mean, i find it comical. gentlemen, thank you so much. congressmen, shawn thank you so a breaking new report from the southern border where drugs criminals, and covid 19 continu and check in with cori brook who's taking a stand against th violence in the city, stay with us, more hannity next. rin? plain aspirin could

terrorist from saudi arabia with ties to yemen who ttried to cross the arizona border last week wearing an emt he's linked to several subjects of interest and they don't know how he got the jacket he got fo a report citing multiple source saying uber drivers are aiding inin the transport of illegal migrants into the u.s. the the conditions at the border are getting so bad that even biden is being forced to face reality the department of homeland i security announced they will us funds left over from president trump to fill in the gaps for the border wall. and even the media is admitting that the border response is failing. with an editorial arguing that biden's own border policy is contributing to the surge of migrants and the death toll. here is attorney general mark b thank you so much for joining m mark, i want to go straight to you're in a border state. i've been covering yuma as well as what's happening in texas. can it get any worse down there sir rock bottom, there's a record amount of people flooding into the country each year. last egthweek, our officers were invd in fete nil. it's one of the reasons why i've been battling in the courtroom whether it's failing to sue, the biden administration is making america more dangerous in the cartel. don't forget. two milligrams of fentanyl can kill you and this last week we seized more than 6 fentanyl pills this year alone. people are going to die. >> i'm sorry, attorney general have you heard anything from mark kelly. he promised to be a moderate. he didn't believe in open borders, he's got a big racee coming up. the id you hear anything to get this under control. >> no, i think that he is essentially voting with chuck schumer 100% of the time and he's been co-opted by the dc and globalis it's like the old waldo thing the old where's waldo, where's no one has seen him in arizona. as someone who grew up here and a lifelong prosecutor, it disgusts me. because this isn't a right versus left, it's fundamental of right versus wrong, lawrence. >> jason, we knew this was going to happen. when you allowed a criminal enterprise to get away with it they take advantage.iv you heard that the crips and bloods are now aiding the cartel. we have uber drivers, we have american citizens that are helping to make this happen. but this was expected, right? >> yeah, no su they probably get a little uber eats along the way. this is big this is billions of dollars. this is the drug cartel taking over the border, human traffick drug trafficking. they're bringing across covid in record >> i was on the immigration subcommittee there and the judiciary committee. when it was biden working with obama, it wa. but biden has taken it to a whole other level and kamala harris, i mean, she is absolutely nowhere. they have totally ignored this problem. they never bring it up. if you go to the good state of arizona, you're going to find 150 different countries represented of people pouring across that border. not just a mexico issue, a world-wide funnel across the southern border. >> i'm from the great state of texas. the governor has to build his own wall, never been done before.. have to pay for the national -- the texas state troopers to do the majority of it because the border patrol are overwhelmed. i mean, this is not compassion what's happening right now? >> yeah, and -- how many of these people are being raped it's unbelievable. the attack on people and human life is disgusting. >> attorney general? >> yeah, absolutely. the president has the apex and this power constitutionally and statutorily as we come to the border. we saw the failure of the biden administration in afghanistan we know as a result of the policies, americans will die. we know people on the terrorist watchlist have been apprehended. you had the story of someone from audi arabia with ties to yemen. this is a real catastrophe.ap it's not global warming. biden and cartel kelly have brought it on the country and people are going to die as a result of the biden administration policies. shame on the biden administration and carteling that's why we have to fight people like jason who have talked about this issue. you're right. we sued the biden administration because people are released from our prisons and our jails convicted of crimes like arson rape, and manslaughter released to our community. shame on the biden administration, cartel kellyar and shame on nancy pelosi. >> you're right. jason, every state, every city is a border state,at a border town. all these states, they're dropping people like a rock. >> the administration has not come clean, despite many requests from congress as to where you're shipping these people. the reports are they're putting them in airplanes, putting them in vehicles, they're moving them to other parts of the country just flowing them in to society. and what are they supposed i to do, laurence, once they get here? how are they supposed to provide or buy food or get a job or do something like that? you can't just dump hundreds of thousands of people and just end up being millions of people into the society and not have a major economic and crime impact. >> oh, they know who's going to pay for it. we, the american public are going to pay for it. including funding for illegal immigrants in all of the bills you want to pass. they have a plan. i think we're under this illusion that the left doesn't know what they're doing. they know exactly what they're doing. americans will pay for that. thank you so much for joining the program tonight. coming up, lori lightfoot is now begging the federal government to help fight violent crimes. one local pastor is taking action in his own hands and he joins us after a quick break. stay with us.grlit

story at www.xfinity.com/sing2 >> welcome back to hannity. tonight we continue to spotlight the ongoing violence in the city >> welcome back to "hannity." tonight we continue to spotlight the ongoing violence in the city of chicago where week after week, crime surges, shootings spike, and residents live in fear for their lives. es this week mayor lori lightfoot begged the biden administration for federal resources to combat the violence. m take a look. >> but we must build on the efforts, the help from the federal government. that's why i have formally asked the attorney general of the united states, merrick garland to, with all delivered haste detail atf agents to chicago for six months so that we can increase the number of gun investigations and seizures in chicago. we need these additional resources well in advance of next summer. >> didn't the former president of the united states donald trump offer the mayor help? but she denied it. in 2021 chicago is seeing the highest number of homicide in 30 years. but rather than address the core issues, the mayor is more focused on thehe vaccine mandat. take a look. >> if you have been living without having a vaccination it's time for a change. asyou wish to live life normally as possible, with the ease to do the things that you love, you must be vaccinated with the city of chicago. >> just so we're clear, kids in chicago are more likely to die from a gun shot than covid.or but covid is the issue in chicago. but one pastor in chicago said he's ready to take action. he's doing a 100-day roof top vigil living on top of a

always a pleasure to see you. >> thank you. >> it's very clear that the time to act is now. a 30-year high in chicago. what can we do to stop this right now? >> well, the time is now. and the urgency is at hand. but we have to do everything we can to stop out the violence in chicago. it's going to take an all out effort by everyone. that's the reason i'm on this roof and why project good is trying to build a center so we can tackle the issues that we're facing every single day. so we can transform lives. we believe that government does policy. but we major in transforming lives. that's what it's going to take to change the violence in chicago, a transformation of people's lives. >> pastor, i go to chicago. numerous amounts of days, i talk to the boys on the block, the gangsters, the families that have been impacted by this losing their daughters and sons. one thing that i have noticed is because there's a lack of enforcement and lawlessness i that the kids don't have a choice. you have gangsters telling kids join or we'll harass you. or your family. you'll wind up dead. there are multiple factors onn that, am i right. >> there's lawlessness in chicago at this time. it's why it's good that the atfs will come in and help out. we need them desperately. without a shadow of a doubt. one of the things that we never need to do is defund the policeo we need to invest in our police so we can make sure that we have law and order. we need to make sure that we give our opportunity -- our oolice officers every opportunity that they can have to make sure that they have law in the city of chicago. and so we need to support them and we need to support their efforts. >> sir, i know you talk with so many family members that have been impacted by the violence that have lost folks, sons and daughters. what are they telling you right now with the surge? >> there's a sense of hopelessness, there's so many people -- recently an article written by the "chicago sun-times," 57 children have been shot and kill in the city of chicago. that's alarming. that's notag something that we should be used to. that's not something that should be normal. that's the reason we're doing everything we can with our organization to help as many parents as we can to change this situation to change this narrative. we need all of the help we can get. that's why i'm thankful to fox for giving me the opportunity tn talk and bringing our attention. we need people across america to help us with this situation. >> you know, we do need more people. we wish more people in the main stream media will tell me about this story. why don't you forget about chicago, i can't, my brother sean hannity calls it, it's the american family. we have people in our american family being shot every single day, we cannot let this happen in another american city. thank you so much, pastor, so much for joining us. >> thank you, appreciate it. >> you bet, more hannity after the break. stay with us.
