This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Those are the first and second
amendments
Sean Hannity takes over from New
York
welcome to Hannity.
This is a Fox news alert
Washington is under a six p dot m
curfew and the National Guard
was deployed
Virginia Maryland and d dot c
dispatching law enforcement
officers,
the FBI and ATF, are on the
scene.
Cong has reconvened.
We will monitor their
proceedings.
This morning we witnessed
a massive, peaceful protest in
support of president Trump,
hundreds of thousands of law,
Arcsa
abiding Americans from across
the country.
On the Senate floor, Senator TED
Cruz was leading an effort to
force a ten day. Emergency audit
of the election results to
address the concerns. Eighty three percent of
Republicans and thirty percent of
independence and millions of
Democrats that saw
irregularities and their strong
belief. The election was
fraudulent.
Following a planned march to the
capital chaos ensighed
ensued,
some capitol police were hurt
and the capitol was breached.
Vice President pence and all
members of Congress were forced
to evacuate
some made their way to the
Senate floor and others broke
into speaker, Pelosis office and
posed for pictures.
One woman was shot and later
died.
She was killed,
possible, explosive device were
discovered and safely removed at
the headquarters of the Rnc and
two other locations.
Let me stop here and be crystal
clear.
Those who support president
Trump and believe they are part
of the conservative movement in
this country. We do not support
those who commit act of
violence.
People we dont believe should
be vandalizing. Our nations
capitol and attacking the brave
men and women who keep us safe
in law enforcement and dont
place pipe bombs at the Rnc.
All of todays perpetrators must
be arrested and prosecuted.
Every descent American must
condemn what happened at the
capitol.
We have to do a better job,
protecting the innocent men and
women who work there.
We have to protect our law
enforcement officers and every
single elected member
Congress and Senate.
This is not politics.
They deserve to be protected.
Earlier. President Trump called
on his supporters to go home in
peace, not be a part of this.
Take a look.
You have to go home now.
We have to peace and have law
and order and respect our great
people in law and order
we dont want anybody, hurt
its a very tough period of
time.
The president said in
a tweet, the Republican Party is
the Party of law and order that
respects our law enforcement
officers.
Make no mistake: this country
has a lot of problems that must
be addressed.
There is a great political
divide.
The president was right.
Our election was a train wreck.
Eighty three percent of Republicans and millions
of others dont have faith in
the election results.
You cant just snap your finger
and hope that goes away.
These are real Americans,
tens of millions of them.
The only way we can create
a more perfect and peaceful
union is through peaceful,
lawful action.
Violence is never acceptable.
As I said back to the Obama
administration, every elected
official from the president,
lawmakers and mayors, everybody
has to be protected.
Everyone knew today this crowd
would be massive.
There were hundreds of thousands
of people who came to town
we knew there is are always bad
actors that will infiltrate
large crowds.
I dont care: if they are radical,
left or right,
they are not people. I would
support
how were officials not prepared?
How do they allow the capitol
building to be breached in a few
minutes?
Sadly, we have to come to this
reality tonight. The world our
enemy, saw a weakness that should
never exist in our nations
capitol.
We need to fix that immediately.
We need answers.
What went wrong?
How did this happen
tonight? We dont know the
identities of the bad actors,
but we wont mirror the behavior.
We see on the left
this program. We have condemned
violence in the country and do
so again tonight.
For most of this year you have
a media mob and Democrats making
excuse after excuse and flat out,
refusing to condemn what we saw
over the summer.
Violent far left riots in cities
across America.
They were wrong not to condemn
it.
Buildings were burned to the
ground and police precincts
taken over
the left. Even defended this
activity.
Take a look.
People do what they do
inaudible
week,
thats a myth
about Antifa in Portland.
Yes,
they wont stop after
election day.
Everyone should take note of
that on both levels.
They wont let up and they
should not.
This is not unruly, but fires
have been started.
Perhaps this is, should sort
of mechanism for a restructure
in our country.
Fake news CNN reported
that the screen of one of the
riots
take a look at that scene.
Look over the shoulder of the
reporter there.
The banner said fiery, but mostly
peaceful.
All he had to do was look
a few years ago. Fox reported
riots are destructive, but can
lead to serious social reform.
Today the headline is different
because they can bludgeon. The
president with a political issue
quote
VOX
the vast majority in Washington
D dot c were peaceful.
We condemn the violence over the
summer and we condemn the
violence at the capitol today.
He better fix it by tomorrow
to law enforcement and our
elected people.
The people who acted violently
they dont represent the
law, abiding tax, paying citizens
that are worked about election
integrity and have every right
to express their grievances and
protest peacefully.
The massive crowd that
peacefully assembled today, not
the people that went into the
capitol. Why was such a large
crowd of people in Washington
D, dot c?
Why was that massive crowd in
Washington D, DOT c today?
Does anybody in the media or
anybody on the left? They want
to understand how hundreds of
thousands of Americans what
motivated them to leave their
homes and towns and cities and
fly or come long distances to be
at the massive rally today
understand why they felt their
need to be there today.
The law abiding citizens,
the ninety nine percent?
Well, we had thousands or
hundreds and hundreds of
affidavits signed by
eyewitnesses to our election on
November third
whistleblower
Eyewitnesss that signed sworn
affidavits under penalty of
perjury.
Nobody on Capitol Hill with a d
in front of their name, wanted to
hear from them.
The whistleblower were ignored
and dismissed by Democrats and
the media.
This is one of the few shows in
America that gave them
a platform to listen to what
they were swearing to in a legal
document.
They wanted their voices to be
heard.
The american people were
watching this and saying why
arent you listening to the
people making these claims.
According to Democrats,
whistleblowers, you are to be
honored as brave and patriotic
there were serious election
irregularities.
We have to address them in state
after state.
Why,
as a country, we cant have eighty three percent
of one party and thirty percent of
independents not having
confidence. If election results
in Georgia, we talked about the
lawsuit in early two thousand and twenty by
Democrats and the unlawful
consent decree that allowed for
drop boxes and unequal standards
for signature verification
lax. If you were a mail in voter
and a more strict standard for
in person voting,
you have to present vote, I dot d
and they would check your
signature with the database in
the state of Georgia.
We had chain of custody issues
in Georgia.
Almost every one of these swing
states. There is language that
allows partisan observers to
watch the vote, counting
in almost all nobody got to
watch the vote count
some of the people protesting
and coming from across the
country. Why dont? We obey the
law.
People dont want people
breeching the capitol. They are
right, dot, aching, the capitol they a
right.
The law in Wisconsin played like
Michigan.
We had a powerful dissent in the
3 4 decision.
The chief justice of the
Wisconsin Supreme Court said four
members of this court threw
a cloaks over problems that will
be repeated again and again
until the court has the courage to correct them
to correct them.
Another justice said the states
ruling against the Trump
campaign. Will
state law was changed by the
legislature in violation of what
the direct language is in the
Pennsylvania constitution
that relates to mail in ballots
and the artificial mail in
ballots deadline. Extension
that was pushed back without
lawmaker approval either.
If you have a state constitution
and want to change it, you have
to go through the process.
Look at what the State
Constitution of Pennsylvania
says:
article two of our constitution
articulates the following,
in other words its up to state
legislatures to decide the
election, but it has to be
constitutional based on their
state,
not the governor, not the
Secretary of state, not the
democratic party.
The highest court in the land
refused to hear that case.
I think they should have.
The courts refused to hear
a serious case out of Texas,
backed by seventeen attorney generals
and sought a decision on
election irregularities,
Democrats and Republicans that
hate Donald Trump. None had any
curiosity about any of this.
They didnt care that laws were
changed or constitutions
violated.
They didnt want to hear what
eyewitnesses had to say
they didnt care about partisan
observers, not observing
they didnt seem to care.
We looked into that and its
fine.
The people that showed up in
Washington dont feel that way
the majority were peaceful.
They dont want an audit
why
the end justifies the means.
This is why millions of
Americans no longer trust the
system
thats. Why so many people showed up in Washington today
up in Washington today,
the Lobbedaw abiding, peaceful
citizens?
This is why hundreds of
thousands people showed up.
They are tired of being lied
too.
They lied about this president
and the russian hoax that never
occurred.
The media lied.
Russia, Trumper, truthers,
then hypocrisy on the ukrainian
impeachment.
They didnt care about russian Interference, because, when
interference, because when
Hillary Clinton misinformation
dossier hit the scene, they
didnt pay attention to.
They didnt care about Bidens
son in a business. He had no
experience in
Joe Biden caught on tape
to get a prosecutor fired.
Why didnt that happen?
Remember hunters laptop filled
with evidence of his familys
corruption,
twitter and Facebook.
They censored all stories about
it before the election
Democrats called it a conspiracy
theory.
They push those, so they would
know it if they saw it.
The laptop is now a probe into
tax evasion.
Americans are sick and tired of
being lied to and not being
listened to and having the law
thwart Ed
thwarted.
They are unhappy about the fact
there is no decision to fix an
election system that has
problems
even liberal senators and New
York Times said so
they wont trust election
results, especially after what we
saw in every battleground state.
They have a right to demands,
transparency and the truth.
They didnt look into anything.
When you look at all of the
hundreds of thousands of people
that showed up in Washington
today. I am not talking about those that were violent, those
those that were violent, those
that rioted and went into the
capitol illegal and were violent.
