This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Tucker back Monday
welcome to this
special edition of Hannity,
the lefts overreach im Tammy
Bruce in for Sean
Weave begin with a Fox news
alert
breaking tonight.
President Trump and his legal
team are vowing to take their
fight to preserve election
integrity, all the way to the:
U Dot S Supreme Court
after an appeals. Court earlier
today dismissed a lawsuit over
voting procedures in
Pennsylvania.
Now, following the ruling Trump
lawyer, Jenna Ellis tweeted
quote: the activist judicial
machinery in Pennsylvania
continues to cover up the
allegations of massive fraud
onto the Supreme Court,
and yesterday the president
was asked about the growing
evidence of ballot
irregularities in key
battleground states
heres. What he had to say take
a look
its going to be a very hard
thing to concede, because we know
there was massive fraud
so as to whether or not I can
get this apparatus moving this
quickly because time isnt on
our side,
everything else is on our side.
Facts are on our side.
This was a massive fraud,
all right.
Well, the president went on to
say that he will leave the White
House. Of course, if the
electoral college votes for
Biden and tonight, the President
tweeted Biden did poorly in big
cities except those of Detroit
Philadelphia, Atlanta and
Milwaukee,
not surprisingly, they are all
located in most important swing
states and are long known for
being politically corrupt
democrats and their allies in an
the media mob are so desperate
to stop from you asking
legitimate questions about the
way this elections was
conducted
and legitimate questions about
massive irregularities in the
voting process. Yet all Americans,
regardless of party or ideology,
do care about election integrity
and transparency and
on the basis of democracy
and bailiffs of what it means to
live in a free and fair country.
Why President Trump is not
slowing down and is vowing to
fight to ensure that every legal
vote is counted
and vowing to do everything he
can to stand in the way of the
far lefts quest for power at
all costs.
Now the president announced
yesterday he will be holding a
rally in Georgia yeah next
Saturday,
not this one but the next one
for republican senators, David
Perdue and Kelly Loeffler ahead
of the Georgia Senate runoff in
January
Heres. The president laying out
the state of the race yesterday
and the horrendous records of
Warnock and Ossoff
take a look.
He doesnt deserve to be
there. Is he a light weight
and the other one is either a
communist or socialist?
I cant figure that one out, yet
he is either a communist or a
socialist,
probably a communist.
This is not for Georgia
and I just want to tell my
people dont be disappointed yet
because this race is far from
over.
Yes, indeed,
remember Democrats have already
made it clear that if they do
take control of the Senate, they
are ready, willing and able to
unleash what would be the most
far left political force on you,
the american people that we
have ever seen.
It will include abolishing the
filibuster packing the Supreme
Court, two new states in d, dot C
and Puerto Rico, creating four
new democratic senators
wouldnt that be convenient.
Abolishing the electoral
college,
open borders and much much
more
joining me now for reaction, Fox
NEWS, Contributedders, Jason
Chaffetz and David Webb, along
with former acting Dni director,
Ric Grenell, a terrific lineup,
a reminder for everyone
watching, gentlemen that this
nation can be is now and will
always be in good hands.
Thanks for joining me,
let me start with you. Rick
I mean you have been Thruf the
administration.
You have had many important
posts as an ambassador
working with the president.
You know his action in going to
Georgia reminds people with
everything else going on. We with
walk and chew gum at the same
time that Georgia is key, that
the Democrats are not kidding
when it comes to what they will
do.
Do you agree with that?
Yeah
look.
You know. I have talked to
President Trump about races like
Georgia and the Senate,
and he is very focused on making
sure that the Senate stays in
republican hands.
He knows he has been through an
administration where you have to
deal with the Senate.
You have to try to get
legislation through
and he knows how important it
is,
and so, as the head of our
party as the most popular
person in our party, the
president is focused on helping
and when he goes, he will
absolutely make a huge
difference.
People will come out,
they will be able to see him be
energized,
they will vote.
The president really has a huge
impact on so many races,
and I see his commitment to
Georgia and were all very
pleased that he will be able to
help us cross the finish line,
indeed, Jason. At the
same time, you can have all the
passion in the world get out
the vote.
Go there
rally people up,
but it really doesnt matter. If
shenanigans continue,
it really doesnt matter. If we
still have some problems there
in Georgia.
What is your take on the nature
of you who this is proceeding
with what needs to happen?
We know the Democrats are
already doing a great deal,
even encouraging people to move
to Georgia to vote
whats your take on what can
unfold there.
Yeah
I mean you have people
encouraging people to Georgia,
which is of course against the
law
that doesnt slow them down.
All eyes are on Georgia.
There will be Huron dreads of
millions of dollars spent.
But if you live in Georgia, you
are a legal, lawful voter.
You need to get out and vote and
do your part and make sure that
the legal part of this, the poll
watching part of it in that
whole apparatus is doing the
right thing.
Doug Collins is leading. I know
the effort to go through the
recount again.
He will be heavily involved in
this
one of the people I served with
in Congress.
I have the greatest respect for,
but Republicans already have fifty
senators in the United States
Senate.
We need one, but two would be
better
to block what Nancy Pelosi is
doing.
It has to happen.
I know there will be all kinds
of shenanigans.
You know what
elections happen at the precinct
level and you need people
engaged at those precinct
levels.
Volunteering willing to show
up willing to help count
and just keep a watchful eye.
Great point
David talking about these are technical things, no matter who
technical things no matter who
is in the White House, the Senate
matters.
People still think in some ways
the Democrats mean well, that is
all roads lead to Rome.
Everybody will be fine.
Nobody is going to be doing
these crazy things that will
hurt the country
David. You know, have you got a
perspective here, as I do that? In
fact, the left dont mean well
that these are horrible things
that can unfold
give, as you perspective here
when it comes to what the left
is planning on doing and what we
can expect over the next few
years with them in charge
Tammy. In order to see what
theyre planning on doing, we
have to first admit that they
have been planning and executing
for years now.
They have always wanted to
pervert our election system.
Look at what they have done.
Have you got the state of
Pennsylvania where just recently
released news that Senator has
filed under their constitution
article one section two for the
legislators to get involved.
They should pick the electors.
We have got to follow the rules,
because the Democrats have an
outcome.
The leftist progressives have
the win at all costs win by any
means necessary,
because in our system once have
you won you get to take over
and go
thats why the Senate matters?
They cannot have all three
branches, and I will say that
very carefully, very accurately.
Under our constitution, we dont
have a President elect right
now.
What we have is an election, a
process thats playing out.
We dont have a certification,
so the president is still the
president of the United States.
He has his constitutional rights
and he has to go through that
processes.
Whats the challenge for the
legal team.
We have got to stop the left
from going down the road.
They have been traveling this
road for a long time to change
this country, to alter the
constitution and to alter it at
the state levels so that it
doesnt work for national
election.
You know, Rick, you
have been on the ground and
dealing with Nevada.
Have you seen the nature of
whats been transpiring?
This was not new. As David is
noting.
They started this pre pandemic,
this universal mail in voting,
which is ripe for manipulation
when we think about something
like that doesnt. This have to
be at the top of the republican
agenda, to kind of lock this down
and make sure that we dont have
a replay of this in twenty twenty, two and
24 et Cetera.
Absolutely
it needs to be the number one
issue.
You know you ask yourself,
whats the difference states
like Nevada or Ohio,
or Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The reason why Ohio ran so well
is because you actually had to
request a ballot.
Sixty percent, I think, is the number of
people in Ohio that voted by
mail,
but every single one of those
people asked for a ballot.
The difference is that in
Pennsylvania and Nevada, the
government started sending
ballots to people and they
didnt know those ballots were
coming.
People had moved,
they didnt check the voter
roles, people were dead,
people were sent ballots to
their old addresses,
so it was really a mess and it
happened sixty days before the
election.
This is what happens when you
change the rules and you are not
prepared
yeah, and you know
Jason with your experience in
Congress. We know the value of
being able to be chairing the
committees,
the impact that can be had when
it comes to educating the
american people.
We know now. Look president
Trump had the one thousand seven hundred and seventy six commission
idea about education about doing
something like that,
if hes, not in the White House.
That of course, will not happen.
What else can you imagine when
were not dealing with a house
even with the rarsz thin margin?
What kind of power do they still
have being in charge, especially
of the committees?
Well, remember: all bills,
all spending bills per the
constitution originate in the
House of Representatives.
Now there was no big blue wave
hats off to Kevin Mccarthy,
every single Republican running
for RE election in this
election, every single one of
them won their race.
Not one was defeated.
Nancy Pelosi predicted she would
pick up twelve seats,
she lost more than twelve seats
and there are still more coming,
and so I have got to tell you
net loss of one Senate seat and
then the two still to play out,
but if they have the trifecta,
the Democrats between the House
and Senate and the presidency
thats how we got Obamacare
and they have got this list that
Rick ran through that we are
still and David ran through. That
can still happen,
and so it is absolutely pivotal
that every person in Georgia
participate and that the legal
team continues to pursue all of
these elections until they are
actually certified
David. Thank you so
much
im. Sorry, we dont have time to
get back to you, though.
I think we would all agree
because its a fact
it was a red wave down ballot.
American people rejected what
the left were pushing,
what the Democrats were pushing
and yet now they seem to think
that they have got some kind of
a mandate.
Obviously they are mistaken,
David Jason Ric. Thank you for
welcome me tonight.
I appreciate it
also breaking tonight.
Republicansrepublicans have flip house seat in California, Blue
House seat in California, Blue
California, with David Value, Vala,
ousting Cox,
21st district. This wave
continues. This was a rematch
from twenty eighteen
enough to the unexpected losses
for the house. Democrats leave
Speaker Pelosi with a tiny, rarsz
thin margin heading into
January,
and the party is still pointing
fixers ahead. The search for a
new democratic congressional
Campaign Committee chief in
hopes of avoiding disaster, two thousand and twenty two
good luck with that Steve
Achilles congressman Elect.
Congratulations, Sir
Darrell Issa.
Thank you very much for being
here,
as I left this last segment and
now perfectly to you here. It
Reilly. It was a red wave.
This was a rejection of what the
Democrats have been moving.
The left is moving
identity, politics, the cancel
tellculture.
You know crazy relationships
with the IRAN North Carolina
tradition of vowing.
We wanted a good economy,
we got it
congressman Issa. Do you see
when it comes to the nature of
what it is that is happening
here with the house? What we
know Nancy Pelosi is going to be
back in.
How do you think this is going
to work out with this Rarsz Razo
margin?
We only need four or five
Democrats to fear for their own
future and we can stop
legislation
not as effectively as the fire
wall of the Senate, but we can
stop it.
Whats. Important, though, is that
with Steve, Scalise and leader
Mccarthy is that he would
going to be able to offer real
valid alternatives, motions that
are reasonable, that at least six
or seven Democrats, perhaps in
fear for their own mortality,
politically will vote for,
and that means we are going to
win.
We are going to be able to win
against Nancy Pelosi and the way
we werent able to for the last
two years. Part of it is quite
candidly. The voters elected two years ago, in large numbers
years ago, in large numbers,
Michelle Steele, Kim David
Valdao and Mark Garcia
Democrat, have gone republican
again,
congressman Scalise.
They won in part in twenty eighteen because
they talked about the issues
they said we are not in to
impeachment.
We dont like Nancy Pelosi.
We care about your issues.
What is the first thing, and
really the only thing at the did?
They did impeachment, while the
coronavirus was coming over from
China that that was clearly the
american people were watching
and they cared
at least stop them from doing
damage in that regard,
congressman Scalise what is at
the top of your list about what
matters in this next term coming
up
Tammy the thing that matters
most to me and my republican
colleagues is fighting for those
small businesses, those
hard working families that have
been left behind that are
struggling right now.
A lot of these states, mostly
lead by Democrats, are shutting
everything down,
and you know states like
Florida where they are opening
things up and Texas are doing
well.
States like New York and
California, where they are
shutting everything down are
doing really really poorly and
businesses are floundering.
People by the way are dying
from Non Covid related things.
They are not getting mammograms
and colonoscopies
kids not being allowed to go
back to school, are being denied
their educational future.
We will be fighting for all of
those people that are being left
behind.
Look have you got this vaccine?
You saw the great report today
that, because of president
trumps leadership with
operation warp speed, there is
now a contract with United
Airlines to distribute the
vaccine all throughout the
United States.
This is a military effort with
the smartest minds from the FDA
from the greatest drug companies
in the world like Pfizer, mow,
Concernna, so many others
I mean we are seeing president
trumps policies work for
families.
What were not see something
speaker, Pelosi care about those
families and thats, why she was
rejected at the polls because of
wanting to defund the police
wanting to raise taxes
literally pushing a pro abortion
agenda when we were trying to
fight for the unborn, including
babies, born alive outside of the
womb that the Democrats still
wanted to allow to die.
These are the radical socialist
agenda items that Pelosi fought
for.
We are going to be fighting for
those hardworking families,
thats good news,
clearly with what happened now
and the dilsz array and being so
wrong with what happened.
Congressman Mcclintock. There
is going to be another wave in
two thousand and twenty two
thats. Of course, where you have
to make some headway in getting
some democrats to work with you
at the same time, sir, there
seems to be this fantasy that, in
the event, Mr Trump is not in
the White House, his seventy three million
voters are going to disappear
and his agenda doesnt matter
and the red wave that happened
based on his accomplishments,
that that is just going going to
become a memory.
Do you imagine the Trump agenda
the merit of what we voted for,
and the transformation that
happened in these last four
years is still on the minds you
have Republicans and still will
be be represented, regardless of
who is in the White House.
More than Republicans,
I think there are a lot of
Democrats and independents that
are starting to connect the dots
between the policies of the
democratic left and what thee
have consistently delivered.
Thats. Why we made gains in
California
people living with that
firsthand?
You look whatever the democratic
left controls policy. You will
see exactly the same things:
failing schools, rampant
homelessness, rising crime,
skyrocketing energy costs,
water shortages,
unaffordable, housing,
high unemployment,
crushing regulations and tasks,
failing businesses
fleeing families,
thats. What the democratic left
delivers
and I think Californians are
getting fed up with that, and I
think Americans across the
country are looking at places
like California and New York and
saying we dont want to go there
thats why the Georgia election
is so important.
Well, I will tell you,
I think Americans know they are
going to look to men like you
when it comes to being a
firewall against the rest of the
country becoming San Francisco
or LOS Angeles, because thats
not what we have certainly voted
for,
not by any means at all.
