FOX NEWS HANNITY TOWN HALL-THAT WASN'T. IT WAS A JOKE.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

FOX NEWS and HANNITY put on a big Dog and Pony show billed as a TOWN HALL which aired the other night.

Hannity spent the first half hour of the show  spouting his every night comments and phrases about  FISA, the Russia investigation, and  Roger Stone and the millions of people on unemployment under Obama, the millions of people out of work under Obama, etc., and he let President Trump go on and on again about what a good guy Flynn is. Folks, they could have gotten that same stuff on Hannity's show every night.

People want go know WHAT President Trump is going to to do NOW. They do not want the same old pablum  that Hannity regurgitates over and over, again and again , every night. Viewers did not need a  rehash of Russia. During that first half hour it was just a kumbaya love fest of Hannity fawning over the President.  It was the same old, worn out news that he constantly repeats on his nightly show.

I , and others tuned in to hear the President respond to actual questions from the residents of Wisconsin and answer them directly. This was NO TOWN HALL. Hell, during the last half hour of the show there were only THREE questions asked by the audience. And chances are they were pre-screened before allowing the  question to be asked. What a JOKE this alleged Town hall was.

Hannity, instead of playing  patty cake with the President should have acted as a moderator, not unlike moderators during debates, Let the audience members raise their hands, be selected, and let them ask their question and then allow the President to directly respond to the specific question.

One direct question that was asked by an audience person was about a statue being torn down and a Senator being assaulted a few days earlier . He asked the president -- What are you going to do about that?And  Hannity let the President go to talking points of "I issued an executive order to have people put in prison for ten years for destroying statutes on Federal property. I believe Hannity should have brought the President back to the point the man was asking, which was:  What is the President going to do NOW regarding the statue being torn down in Wisconsin and the assault of the Senator?This  billed town hall was a sad excuse to connect to voters.

If this was a TOWN HALL as advertised, Hannity should have introduced the President and then, out of the gate, from the get-go,  begin by  introducing questions from the audience.With the small audience that was present I would  guess that most everyone there would have had at least had an opportunity to put forth a question for the President.

Hannity just doesn't get it. People want to know what the president is going to do NOW and in the future, if reelected. For example, questions like-- Mr. President, are you going to order the National Guard or U.S. Marshal's to quell the arsons, thefts, larceny, tearing down of statues,vandalism and domestic terrorism occurring NOW? Mr. President, are you going to arrest the criminals NOW who commit these acts? Mr. President, are you going to PERP WALK the criminals on television, in handcuffs, so the voters and people of this country can actually see the safety and security of  every city and community in the nation is of concern to you?

I suggest the President take real action instead of  continuing to threaten"to take care if it" if the Governors or Mayors will not take care of it. Folks, it is very clear that the Mayors and Governors of these states that allow the domestic terrorism to continue ARE NOT taking care of it. It's time for President Trump to take precise action, step up, and restore order.

Each and every day that passes without the president and his administration intervening these criminal anarchists, Antifa,  and Black Lives Matter mobs will continue to become more embolden and increase the destruction and violence and it will spread like a cancer in cities and towns across America. The President has to realize that average Joe and Jane Doe  across this nation want to see people arrested, in handcuffs, and sent to prison  for their wanton destruction of American property.
ACTION, NOT WORDS ARE NEEDED, RIGHT NOW. If President Trump continues to listen to those feckless  weak-kneed so-called advisors  around him who are playing politics for their own gain, I fear he will lose the upcoming election.

Trump ran on "law and order", he was elected because of the promise to clean up America and ensure the safety and security of  Americans. He has to ACT and act now. I suggest it is time for the president to send in National Guard troops, possible  Federal Marshal's, and have the local Police Departments STEP UP, instead of standing down and take back the streets from these domestic terrorist groups.

I predict that if the Trump administration DOES NOT quell these civil disobedient acts of crime and domestic terrorism from the the get-go, as they start,  and enforce the law of the land, he WILL lose the election. These types of crimes of arson, destruction of property, looting, etc., have to have immediate consequences for the culprits. The first rock or bottle, thrown at any law enforcement officer demands immediate arrest, the first window broken in a public, private business demands immediate arrest, the first act of attempting to deface or tear down any historical monument demand immediate arrest, physical assault on politicians or any individual demand immediate arrest.  Open lawlessness cannot be tolerated by any society. Arrest and punishment is the answer for criminal action. Period.

I say it is time, NOW, for the president to turn loose the National Guard, the Federal Marshal's and other law enforcement agencies in overwhelming force to take back control of this country.

The President and both parties are always saying America is a nation of laws, and that the nation was founded on the law. WELL DAMN IT! Use the law. regain law and order in this county now.

And, , that's my opinion. I suggest you  consider the situation and come to your own conclusion. You  decide.
