NICOLLE WALLACE (ANCHOR): I think what's amazing and I think what, like the little shards of hope, are that Sean Hannity can't hide from his own listeners whose daughter have pediatric cancer and is desperate for NIH to not stop researching cures to pediatric cancer. Which isn't a big pharma profit play, right? Sean Hannity's listener who called into his show with a daughter who was given a fatal diagnosis of brain cancer, was pleading with Sean Hannity to beg Donald Trump to not shut down NIH pediatric cancer research. Republicans can't hide from their voters forever. They're their own voters, they live in towns all across the country, and the truth will get out. I don't think anyone should hold their breath and wait for anyone in business to save us, because of all the people that knew better, they knew better. I remember you coming to explain, they all know better. They know that autocracies don't have thriving economies. No one is coming to save anyone. But what Trump has done in six weeks is so bad that Sean Hannity's listeners are calling and asking him to help.
