with kathleen willie. you can see it, we just tweeted it out. our interview with brit hume. what will it be next week? let me know what you think. i'm megynkelly, this is the kelly file. welcome to hannity. tonight we have a jam packed edition of the show. america, are you ready? stewart, dana are in the house, let's roll. this hbo documentary will break your heart and make your blood boil. >> i want to go to college, i want to have a good life. >> i'll explain why it has me yelling at the tv this very morning. >> president roosevelt passed away this morning due to natural causes. >> jimmy kimmel proves once

again americans don't know much. >> he was a good man, and i am sad to hear of his passing. jimmy fallon makes his "tonight show" debut. >> i'm jimmy fallon and i'll be your host for now. >> is he better than leno? ainsley earhart hit the streets to find out. >> are you excited about him hosting? >> i do like his show? >> better than leno? >> yes. >> hannity starts right now. >> i was home watching hbo, i came across a documentary called american winner. chronicling people living in oregon and the struggles they are facing. >> i hear them in bed sometimes saying we skipped dinner because we need to feed our kids. sometimes when i hear that, i

cry. >> i want to go do college, i want to be able to have a good life. it makes me worry, how am i going to be successful? how am i going to be able to provide for my family? i worry about that every day? >> those stories are heart wrenching, as the film went on, i found myself screaming at the television like you liberals do me, because the only solutions they offer to fix the problem, the same old liberal talking points. let me give you an example. >> if capitalism is not regulated or checked, there's a harsh logic and it will always seek out the lowest costs, highest return. we've reduced taxes, and now people are more vulnerable. my job is to communicate to people the absolute moral imperative during these times of using public resources to maintain the safety net. >> there's a shred of truth to

the idea that the richer the rich got, the better everyone else would be, and the more jobs we would see. everyone would be drowning in jobs. it's absolutely not true. >> the united states of decline, america unravels at an increasingly dizzying pace. also the co-host of the five, dana perino. let me explain this film. i'm sitting here, we know the statistics, we have 50 million americans on food stamps, a labor participation rate, the lowest level since 1978, i'm watching this film and i seymours with kids going into shelters because that's where they have to stay. i see a young couple lose their job, they don't have -- they lose their electricity. they finally get it put on because of assistance, they're putting the light on and off because they're so happy. something is wrong in this america where the numbers, the

92 million and 50 million, every person, every light, all those suffering, and i argue, dana, needlessly, we can do better. >> certainly we can do better. in any system, in a capitalist system, you are going to have people who don't make as much as others, depending on work. the thing that bothered me is the child who said he's anguished and worries every day how he will provide for his own family, which is 20 years down the road. the financial insecurity people are feeling is permeating all the way down to someone who is 10 or 11 years old. you shouldn't worry about things like that when you're that will age. >> we don't drill on government land. leases are down 50%. how many jobs could we create tomorrow, stewart? >> if you liberate the energy resources that america has under its -- under our own turf, you liberate that, you produce real economic growth and you go a

long way toward changing the mood of america. president obama has fundamentally shifted the mood of america, and the kind of society we are. we have become collectivists. it's not your fault if you're down in the dumps, you need government help. we are collectivists. that's what we've become. it's only a short term thing, you could reverse this very quickly, with real economic growth. >> let me just -- we can't drill, and we have more energy than the entire middle east combined. because he reduced leases 50%. government sub sid i dids creates a disincentive for hiring to the tune of $3 opini3 million jobs. maybe you're right, maybe -- are we in decline? is this country declining? >> when i wrote this article, i sat down and came up with one example after another after another and got depressed as i wrote this article, but i found lots of evidence of how we're sliding downward. we used to be in the top three

for economic growth. we see things slowing down, it's completely unnecessary. we are the number one corporate tax in the world. if we were to cut our corporate taxes 25%, a lot of companies would pack up and leave the united states and stay here. we eliminate the corporate tax, money would pour into this country. i watched this clip and it looked like a campaign clip for obama '08 or something. >> both stewart and dana are both very good friends of mine, and both ganged up on me last week, i'm mad at the republicans. i want to read the last paragraph, the american people have been betrayed both by obama, the democrats, whose lust for control intensifies every day, and republican leaders whose cowardice and defeatism has turned their guts and spines into tapioca, which is great writing, by the way. >> thank you. great flair. >> i'm mad the republicans aren't doing anything. both of you thought i was wrong

that they didn't fight -- >> no, they are doing something. >> help me. >> they are positioning themselves to win back the senate in 2014 so they can attack some of these issues. >> the debt limit -- >> it was always going to be raised. the republicans are actually being smart. >> a health line and exchange? >> from obama? >> i don't think so. >> what i would have done is i would have added one amendment. said the bailout a 47 billion dollar bailout of the health insurance companies would be taken out, in exchange for that, we could increase the debt limit. maybe obama signs it, maybe he doesn't. let's make the democrats vote on this. they want to stand in front of the american public and say, we don't want to raise the debt limit. >> all i want to do is -- make that argument. >> we're in a rotten place right now. >> we're in a rotten place right now. i want to win politically. politics is the only way to

change america. >> listen, maybe you're right and i'm wrong, i'm not saying i have all the answers. i want to inspire a republican party that offers bold colored differences and i'm not seeing that. >> if you lose senate seats in kentucky and maybe another one, if you think can you win arkansas but you end up not winning it, you don't even have a -- you don't have a chance of the republicans taking back the senate. what that vote did was actually put further pressure on mitch mcconnell, unnecessarily, we're spending money to defend mitch mcconnell in kentucky, when we should be spending that money in red states that we can win. >> ultimately it may turn out harry reid says, we can win this way. but for god sakes, two or three days they can stand up, argue this, educate people -- maybe in the end -- >> just two weeks ago, people on the far right, the pundits were saying, even actually the liberal pundits were saying, this is not the time to do immigration, republicans should focus like a laser beam on obama

care. as soon as they make the decision to do that, they're ridiculed the following day -- >> is part of the problem the american people. i'm watching jimmy kimmel the other night, kimmel goes on the streets to think what people thought about fdr's recent death. watch this? >> president roosevelt died this morning, do you have anything to say to his widow eleanor? >> wow! truly sorry for your loss. that's a great book for the history right there. >> what achievement do you think he'll be remembered for the most? the louisiana purchase or -- >> the louisiana purchase. >> did you follow his jokes on twitter? >> yeah, he's a funny guy. >> do you think it cheapened the oval office when he made that brief cameo in the movie "pearl harbor"? >> no, it may have put more focus on washington, d.c.. >> was it weird how slap stick his role was, falling out of the

wheelchair? >> no, i think that adds to that, makes it seem like he has a sense of humor? >> you say you don't think it's real? >> how many interviews did they do and pull out -- >> they could have done that 15 years ago or 40 years ago. >> jaly leno did jay walking fo many years, same kind of thing. >> i think there are many people that are oblivious. >> i think we're wealthy enough that we don't have to know those things. we're not at each other's throats like they are in the ukraine. >> it's not the fault of the american people, it's the fault of leadership. >> you know how many times i've asked them who the vice president is, they don't know? >> are you blaming america? you're blaming the americans? >> i'm blaming some people, they have a civic responsibility to know who the vice president is. >> you know what's going on in your society. >> leaders, please.

>> you have to read and watch dana. >> they have to do a segment on coal firepower plants. you've got to -- you promise to do a segment on that. >> up next, president obama's legacy is crumbling before your very eyes. later tonight, you get to ask me any question you want. i don't get to see these beforehand. as hannity continues and much more. t!

welcome back to hannity. yesterday marked five years since president obama signed his stimulus bill. democrats were quick to applaud the president it he didn't exactly sound off about the bill

and obama's legacy. take a look at this. >> it isn't as if the only alternative was the monsterous stimulus versus nothing. he could have had tax cuts and deregulation, instead it was a gift to all kinds of democratic constituencies many and as a result, all this many spent, fdr left behind the hoover dam. ike left behind the interstate highway system. this thing as predicted hasn't left a trace in the sand. >> here with reaction and much more, dick morris, a roid yo talk show host in philly. how are you? >> good to be here. >> you have to love this line, except the ruins of the solyndra plan the. you talks a lot about getting bill clinton back to the center, and try angulation you're known for. i watch obama, and he always

seems to cling to his cad callism, he doesn't seem to have that flexibility or practicality or pragmatism of bill clinton. is this going to be his legacy? stubborn radicalism? >> yes, i think it is. you either believe he's a total incompetent, who could not bring jobs back and could not get the economy moving or you believe his efforts are malicious. i believe that obama is attempting to transform america from an employment based society to an entitlement based society. he's trying to take people from working for a living, spending long hours, advancing to waiting to open the mail for the new entitlement check. >> the thing is, when 50 million americans didn't work, the son of stimulus didn't work, we have

the lowest labor participation rate in -- since 1978 and 50 million americans on food stamps. >> i'm saying it worked. his goal in signing 15 million more americans on food staps, 10 million more on medicaid, 8 million more on unemployment insurance was precisely to make them dependent and fashion a permanent democratic political majority by making them dependent upon the government for their livelihood. >> this is what he wants? that's the transformation of america? >> i was talking today with my radio show with casey mull began, the economist who did a great service in pointing this out. he said, it's just like this in europe, where people say, i'm not going to work, because the benefits are too good. i'm not going to work the extra hours, because i'll lose money, i'll lose eligibility. the only issue is why it took americans so long to get around to this.

>> i guess the question is, from my perspective, this is a disaster, i look at the republicans and they are afraid of their own shadow, and they just wrote him a blank check. >> well, it's fortunate that it doesn't work. it's fortunate that not only is it moving the country in the wrong direction, but it doesn't work. had he just did the economy and the entitlements, i think we could never defeat him. he would have had a stranglehold on this country because of the entitlements. >> you think obama care did in his agenda? >> i think it flat out not working is overriding the other aspects of his agenda. >> he didn't fail, sean. this guy succeeded. >> it was always his intention, you think he purposely wanted to hurt the country? >> two parties -- >> transform to a dependency

society. he's happy there's 50 million americans on welfare? he's happy about that? >> exactly, it's why he put them there, it's why he opened the rolls to encourage them. in europe, you have a two party system, no matter what they're called. the party that represents the tax paying workers and the party that represents the tax eaters, be they republican employees or welfare or students or pensionists, that's the two party system in europe. he sees it in those terms, and his goal in expanding these entitlements is to create that. >> all right. i got to take a break. coming up, you get to turn the tables on me and ask you any question you want. dagan is back with her ask sean. and tomorrow is a big day for the u.s. men's hockey team in sochi. what we can expect from two players of the miracle on ice team. who do people like more, jay or fallin. your eyes really are unique.

welcome back too hannity, you've been posting your questions all day on facebook and twitter. housing #asksean. last time go digging into the archives and find me looking like a 2-year-old on the phil

donohue show from 1992 and it's embarrassing. >> when you have more salt than pepper in your hair, you should be thankful we hunted down that clip. >> it's funny. >> which raises the question, do you now wax your face? >> no, it's called shaving. >> we're still looking for the sally jessy rapheal clip. >> oh, i got a copy. >> i'm sure you do. are you going to let us air it? >> it's really bad. >> it was my first appearance on national tv. >> thinking of which, that brings me to my first question. i'm digging in to the second season of house of cards over the weekend. there comes sean hannity. you did a good job. here's my question for you, though, have you watched the second season? >> i haven't watched the first season? >> you haven't watched it at all? >> everyone tells me it's the greatest show, it's on netflix, i'm going to go back and watch

the first season first and i don't have a lot of time to be watching tv. it's -- >> it's kind of dirty, it's a little filthy, a little raunchy. the new season is -- >> is it? >> yeah, it will get your motor running, maybe or maybe not. >> you've been listening to i s imus' commercial. >> i'm trying to -- speaking of which. >> i do like imus. i watch you guys in the morning. >> thank you, but if your -- >> you're really -- i really turned it back on you, which makes me happy. >> i'm flummoxed and red in the face. i'm going to change the quest n question. >> anyone want to ask me political questions. >> we got them, we got them. do you personally have a turnoff button? in other words, when you're not working, can you turn off the news and relax? >> yes?

>> how. >> i go to my kids tennis tournaments and i enter a whole new world. or if i'm playing hockey, tennis, i don't play golf, because i don't have enough time to -- >> are you the -- do you yell at the tennis tournaments, like are you -- >> no, just the opposite, i wear a hat and glasses and i try to stay -- you know, my daughter -- i know this sounds nuts, she does not want to see me upset like rolling my eyes or anything, i have to say hi, waive, throw a little kiss to her, that's it. >> good dad. >> no, i don't -- >> >> the only thing i get mad at, if they don't give a full effort or if, you know, my son when he was younger used to bang his racquet a little bit. that used to infuriate me. >> you didn't mention watching movies, what's your favorite movie? let me guess, wizard of oz? >> wizard of oz? >> well, you're a goodie two

shoes. >> no, brave heart, passion of the christ. >> how can you not like good fellas. i like the sopranos series, i watched that whole series. >> we're meeting somewhere in the middle. i approve of good fellas. this is a political question, diane, have you thought about switching to the libertarian party? >> no, i'm a registered conservative. i'm so ticked off at both parties, we have 50 million americans on food stamps, we have 17 trillion in debt, we're robbing our kids blind. the republicans are too timid and weak and lacking vision to inspire people to something that would make the country better. they're not fighting, and the democrats, they're just getting what they want, they're socialists anyway, and ruining the country. >> what would keep you from being a libertarian? >> probably -- >> usually it's the national

defense -- >> it's -- it. >> i like libertarians, i have many libertarian friends. i love the idea of a national sales tax, replacing the income tax is a great idea, but in all honesty, probably issues like i don't want to legalize all drugs. things like that, i am pro life. i think people have a lot of chances to make choices before they have sex, you choose to get in the back of the car, you choose to take off one article of clothing and you choose to engage in that activity. i think we should be responsible in that way. those are two areas i disagree with clubber tarians. >> kim bryant wants to know -- he knows you're a hockey fan. what are the odds team usa will win the gold this year in the olympics? >> it's very high. it's a very impressive team, when is the game, saturday?

>> tomorrow at noon eastern time about. >> when they beat the soviets, the soviets were lining and complaining, they have a sign outside the u.s. consulate because they didn't like the refs decision. >> we all played hockey, i was the only one remember that i didn't lose my teeth. >> which we talked about. >> and then i lost them when i fell off a roof. >> elizabeth asks, why are you so handsome? >> nobody wrote that question? >> they did, i swear to god they wrote that in there. >> i could not get a date for most of my life. >> i swear to god. >> i don't believe that. >> i could not get a date for most of my life? >> with that dazzling head of hair you have? >> i had somebody recently say, have you thought about dying it? so -- she needs new glasses, get her new glasses. >> if you don't start dying your hair, please don't do it

box. >> why? >> it will turn out and look eggplant color. >> you're saying i should dye my hair? >> do you say that to imus in the morning? i doubt you would say that to him. >> no, i would not say that to him. >> you think he should? >> no. isn't he past that point? >> no, he has a -- no -- >> you're telling me to die my hair. if you want it, you believe it, say it. >> i think it would be easy for you to go and reclaim your youth with good hair. >> do you dye your hair? >> oh, yeah, heck yeah. >> you have gray hair like me? >> yeah, my hair is as gray as yours is. >> stop turning around on me. you. >> didn't hammer me with any pictures. i heard a rumor you got some baby pictures. >> we do? >> that's what i heard. >> coming up, speaking of hockey, the u.s. men's hockey team, they're heating things up in sochi, coming up next, two of

in the real miracle on ice game. he scores the goal that clinched the win against the soviets in 1980, and his former teammate scored a goal in the gold medal game against finland that year to win the olympics. one of the greatest moments in sports history period. you were the captain of that great team. >> yeah, you know, it was pretty special. i think over the years we've run into so many people that have a story to tell. for us, it's nice to know you were part of a moment that touched your life and the life of so many americans, so many people around the world, and it's great to be a part of something like that. >> a lot of people, they forget that -- everyone thinks that was it, you won the gold medal there, you had to come back and play another round, that's the game, the gold medal game you scored a goal, in right? people forget that part. >> not even play another game, but we had probably our longest

practice, what many would describe as our toughest practices saturday the game between the soviet game and the game against the fins on sunday. kirby skated us really hard on that sunday. >> was there a reason for it? >> he wanted to make sure we kept our focus and realized just what was at stake. >> listen, it was very, very important. you had to get that extra win. what a lot of people don't realize, yours was an all amateur team, when you played the soviets, that was their professional team. you guys had only been playing together a short time, mike. >> yes, we were the only -- i'm sorry, the canadians were an amateur team as well. when you think about it, the soviet union was the soviet union, it wasn't like it is today, russia and so many countries around it. >> their goalie was one of the greatest goalies of all time.

>> yeah, he was good. he started the game and got pulled after the first period. it was a david and goliath situation from a political standpoint. >> some -- we have pictures of demonstrators with a sign outside the u.s. embassy in moscow protesting the referee's call during saturday's game, what did you think of that? are they being a bunch of sore losers here? good well, let's not lose sight of the fact it's the preliminary round. even though they lost, they didn't have to go home. it was a controversial call, no doubt about it, based on the information i have and what they were saying, it was the right call. >> yeah, people i talked to say the same thing. let me put up u.s. hockey score t.j. oshie scored the goal in the shootout. he said the american heroes are wearing camo, that's not me.

and then he was on with matt lauer of the "today" show describing his thoughts when he was making the shootout shot. watch this? >> what was going through your mind at that moment? >> what do i do next? there's a little panic in there. it looks like i wasn't shaking, but i was underneath, and i'm really happy the last one went in. >> i thought it was pretty clas classy, him pointing out our military. you don't see enough of that in sports, mike? >> he's dead on. we're just playing a game. it's a proud honor to represent your country. we represent our country in a totally different way, we represent our country up there having some fun and competing, our military people, they represent us save our lives and give us the freedom we have the fact that he was able to make that comment is a tribute to him, and the person he is. it was a great comment. >> one of the greatest sports moments in history, al michaels making one of the best calls in

all of broadcasting history. guys, great to see you both. my next guest is going to prove conservative principles if applied actually work. scott walker is going to explain how his state after having a projected $3.5 billion deficit, they now have a $1 billion surplus. and later ton. >> i wouldn't be here tonight if it weren't for the previous tonight show hosts, i want to say thank you to steve allen, jack paar, johnny carson, jay leno, conan o'brien and jay le o leno.

if you've got copd like me... ...hey breathing's hard. know the feeling? copd includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my obstructed airways for a full 24 hours. spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives,

vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? don't wait to ask your doctor about spiriva. like a ramen noodle- every-night budget. she thought allstate car insurance was out of her reach. until she heard about the value plan. see how much you could save with allstate. are you in good hands?

welcome back to hannity, washington republicans once again caved to president obama. it's time to take a page from wisconsin governor scott walker and his state's staggering $1 billion projected surplus. governor walker joined me earlier to talk about his tough stand and the tough stand the gop needs to take in d.c. and elsewhere. governor, welcome back to the program. good to see you, sir. >> the republicans last week blank check to obama on the debt ceiling, obama himself went running for office, said $9 trillion was irresponsible and unpatriotic, why aren't the republicans in washington willing to do what you did? and i admire you for this? you put your entire career on the line, you had a $3.5 billion budget deficit. if we don't fix it, the kids in wisconsin are going to have to pay it. now you have nearly a trillion dollars savings -- i'm sorry, nearly 900 million dollars, you got in savings, it's a massive

turnaround. >> almost a billion, that's right. >> why won't the republicans in washington take that same tough stand like you did? >> well, we need to stand up and help them make that part of this election, and tell them about solutions not just what's wrong with the other side. we can't just be against obama care, we would tell them what we would do to bump into the debt ceiling and make sure we can repeal obama care, something we've talked about, real solutions, that would get america back on track again. >> i started this thing, i wrote conservative solutions, caucus 2014 and on there, the penny plan, balance budget amendment, secure the borders, health care savings accounts, energy which would create millions of jobs for americans. i don't hear anybody in the washington republican establishment out there with that vision, solutions you call them, and tell people what they do, so is that a -- that's safe strategy, is that a good strategy going into an election? >> i don't think so.

i wrote about my book that i thought people who win elections in battleground states, the so-called people in the center don't want conservatives to move to the center, they want us to lead. the way you get to voters who elected not only me in 2012, but turned around and voted for barack obama, in 2012 as well, were people who want more than anybody, the leadership, and as conservatives, we have great ideas. why don't we want to go out there and lead with them? >> you're singing my tune here, i -- why? what i don't understand is, you put it all on the line, you've benefited. not only does your state have nearly a billion dollar surplus, your name is bandied about quite a bit, maybe you may get into the 2016 presidential race, season the that because you took a stand and led and didn't back down from a fight? isn't that what's missing now? >> absolutely. in fact, i -- you know, i'm flattered when people bring things like that up, it's not because of some great speech or youtube video, it's because we went out and led, that's what people are hungry for.

particularly in times of economic and fiscal crisis like this nation faces today. i think that's why in america, the republicans who are doing well are governors, not just me in wisconsin, but other governors, look at rick scott in florida. the unemployment rate is down 5%. >> and look at governor -- we had governor perry on the program last week, he's going to have a 15 billion there's budget surplus in the state of texas, pretty amazing. so let me ask you -- and i don't want to put words in your mouth, i want to be fair, i use adjectives to describe republicans in washington. >> i think it's a fair comparison. if we want to win in 2014 and win in the future after that, we have to be optimistic and visionary. whether it's the governor, the united states senate house of representative. we have to speak in terms that are relevant to real people. not just about sequesters and

fiscal cliffs. talk about real terms, people can relate to it, we have the courage to act on it. that's why republican governors are acting all around the country right now. we can get the senate back. >> if item number one, that i think would unite, remember brave heart, unite us, unite us. william wallace, do you think -- republicans said, we're going to stop robbing from our kids and cut one penny out of every dollar and make sure we balance our budget, isn't that something we should unite behind? >> there's no doubt about it, what do people care about more than anything? they care about their kids and grandkids. people talk about, what's the third rail of medicaid, medicare? no, what people care about, even retirees care about, my parents, they care about their grandkids, my two boys are in college, their two granddaughters who are in first and fourth grade, they care more about them than anything in the world. and if they knew that this is

the future they're going to inherit a debt that's a bigger personal debt than the mortgage they're going to ever pay on the largest home they bought. they would not want that for their grandchildren. they don't move forward. they want to hear conservative solution that's work. >> right. they have a $1 billion surplus z you nearly got thrown out of office for that. >> thank you, sean. >> appreciate it. >> you can go to my web site and see what real solutions are so we can get america back on track and create jobs putting america back to work a special part of my web site z coming up next, tonight... >> to my buddy who said i'd never be the host of "the tonight show" you owe me $100, buddy. you do. >> and jimmy fallon made his dab yut last night as host of "tonight show". and ainsley

earhardt, who the viewers like better, jay or jimmy, coming up next. honestly? this deal was way too good to believe.

instead of paying too much for an ipad, i got the surface 2. first of all, it comes with office and outlook. then, with free skype calls to phones in over 60 countries, i can talk to my cousins any time. and then, i got 200 gigs of cloud storage -- free -- so i can get my photos and stuff almost anywhere. others charge for that. surface is such a great deal. i feel like i should tell somebody. hey! ♪ honestly ♪ i want to see you be brave ♪

>> this is really huge this, is huge. you know what i mean? >> put on the pressure. i was like yes, man. i won't be able to handle all of this. everything, tonight. >> all right so reviews were mixed we sent ainsley earhardt to find out what people think

about this. >> did you watch jimmy fallon last night? what did you think? >> i loved it. good first night. >> how do you think he's going to do compared to leno? >> well, i think he'll take more risks >> very funny and clever. i know how he handles his guests and everything. >> better than leno? >> yes. >> i never cared for leno show. i was asleep. >> is that going to be the case every night? >> no. i will watch jimmy fallon. i like him. >> i know he's going to be funny. he's great >> how do you think he's going to compare to leno? >> so much better. >> i thought jay leno is bril yevenlt jimmy fallon is a good replacement >> i think it will be great. >> this is his biggest fan here >> what do you like about him? >> i don't know. just so funny, goofy. just a dork. i love that. >> are you sad to see leno go?

>> terribly. >> why? >> crestfallen >> leno or fallon? >> fallon. >> very to ask mom. >> leno. >> why? >> i grew up with leno. love leno.. >> i hear the toons this important question, co-host of fox and friends ", ainsley. >> hey >> seemed mixed. >> yes. will say the younger generation will say they like fallon better, one lady said watching that show for decades and just lart breaking. >> odd thing is the timing. they fired him once, didn't work out. still number one in every demo. young, old in, between. and then, they fire him again, and we don't -- look. i think fallon is tall yenlted but would have had the job in 3, 4 years. >> last night the first joke was i am here at least for now.

then, audience went crazy >> do you think it's because of" saturday night live "? right? >> it didn't hurt >> one thing i didn't like about jimmy fallon is his singing ability is amazing. and performance aintilt amazing. i think it's going to add a new dimension to the show >> he's a capable guitarist. he can imitate every musician, his ratings were incredible last night. 11 million. >> still less than 15 million leno had >> we won't know the answer 2, 34 no mos? >> not everyone is going to watch the first night. just can't. but, i think ratings will go up, i think >> thank you. thank you for having me on. >> that is all the time we have left. time to set your dvr and

record" hannity ". start your day with ainsley. we'll see you back here tomorrow night. o'reilly factor is son from l.a. good night >> once again the far left attacking president obama over surveillance in the war on terror. what does obama supporter alan colmes think about his brethren doing that? we will find out. >> how many? >> three boxes. >> are the girl scouts of america being led by secular progressives? that's what some are saying. we will examine the facts. >> i'm jimmy fallon and i will be your host for now.
