talk about it in person i will be at the barnes and noble in new york's union square tomorrow night at 6:00 p.m. eastern and then run over here to "the kelly file." after the thanksgiving holiday we're taking the show on the road to see you. we are going all over the country. i will announce the full schedule tomorrow night but i can't wait to see you. thanks for watching. ♪ thank thanks. welcome to welcome to "hannity." now, tonight the abusively biassed main street media that got the election completely wrong, that is so out of touch with you, the american people, well, they're now attacking and trying to discredit president-elect donald trump's picks for key white house posts. for example, they're losing their minds trying to discredit steve bannon. keep in mind the mainstream media is now suffering what i call a massive credibility crisis. guess what. they're the ones who wrote off, laughed at, mocked the idea of donald trump ever becoming president. so here is my advice to president-elect donald trump tonight.

when it comes to the media, do not listen to those people that want you to fail. ignore the haters. now, these are some of the same people who as wikileaks exposed, they were openly colluding with hillary rodham clinton's campaign which violates every ethical standard they are supposed to honor and uphold. we also found out that the mainstream media is really a tool of what i call the alt-radical-left and what they use to advance their agenda. now, they're just another cog in the wheel of this well-oiled democratic machine, the occupy movement, black lives matter, all of these other fringe groups, and the media was wrong at every turn about the election, every turn about this trump movement and about the policies that a trump administration would put in place. now, the media is trying to force president-elect donald trump, they want him immediately to move to the center. you've got to listen to us now. okay. they wanted him to fail and lose. now he's supposed to listen to you guys? now, he's got to ignore these people. now, the same goes for the

washington political establishment. well, they're going to try to push donald trump hard in very different directions because they don't want the real change that donald trump is standing for, and donald trump at this moment i would say, if he'll listen to me, he has to stick to his promises to you, the american people. now, just like the media establishment, they said he'd never win and didn't support his campaign. the only thing i would say is this to president-elect trump. listen to the will of the american people. those people that went to the polls in record numbers. it is simple, just honor your campaign promises. repeal and replace obamacare. lower taxes, corporate rate 15%. repatriate multi-national corporation profits at 10%. that will bring trillions into the country. build the wall you said you'd build. appoint originalist justices to the supreme court. fix inner cities like you promised, especially on education. energy independence to me will create millions of jobs and the

added bonus that we don't get the life blood of our economy from countries that hate us. then, of course, there's drain the swamp, identifying what our enemies, who they really are, using the term radical islam, extreme vetting of refugees and immigrants. stick to the promise. education back to the states. that might actually help more american kids than any single thing you do. negotiating free and fair trade and, remember, i say this election is about the forgotten men and women, out of work, in poverty, on food stamps, that can't buy a house, that have found that the rungs to the ladder are gone in terms of climbing out of their situation. by the way, one quick thing about all of these protesters. this is important tonight. you know, i look at all of these people and they're crying and they're protesting all around the country. i think of my grandparents. they came to america, all four of them from ireland. county cork, county down, all four of them. they came here with the most $20 in their pocket.

they worked for little money at a time where there was discrimination against irish catholics. used to be signs in boston and new york, irish catholic need not apply. but they came here. they weren't spoiled. they worked their 16, 18 hours a day and felt blessed that they lived in this country. my father grew up dirt poor in bedsty in brooklyn. my mother grew up in south bronx, she didn't have a lot of money either. and it was a big deal they bought a house in long island on 50 by 100 lot. i had three sisters, one bathroom. that's basically living hell on earth. but they were proud of their accomplishments. they had built on the dream of their parents. i stand on their shoulders today as my children now stand on mine. for all of you people whining and complaining, there's a school in new york that's offering pet therapy because the kids are so upset at the election results. really? pet therapy? counseling? all of you people need to grow up. you need to go to work, one of

the best things i did is wash dishes, cook, bus tables, wait tables, tend bar, hang wallpaper, paint houses, frame houses, lay tile and do real work. maybe you people protesting, it is time to get a job. joining us with reaction, former new york city mayor, rudy giuliani. what's your story? >> sean, that was -- >> they need pet therapy? >> that was a beautiful speech. my grandfather came with $20 in his wallet. i have the manifest. he had exactly $20. i think to myself, you come all the way from italy, can't even speak the language, and you have $20 in your wallet. >> my grandparents spoke the language, but in a funny way. >> yeah, yeah, in a way that got them no jobs. >> and i'm like, these spoiled brats on college campuses, schools in elite new york skiles, they're bringing in pets and counsellors because they're so upset? >> i have a hard time actually -- >> i can't conceive it. >> i've been on a couple of

planes. i went out to los angeles, i was in washington, and i talked to a few people that were anti-trump. you know, we're so worried about him. so i was sitting with one and i said, well, what are you worried about? we're just worried about it. >> yeah, exactly. >> what are you worried about? i didn't want to give him things to worry about. are you worried about is he going to start a nuclear war? i'm just kind of worried about it, he said. i think i talked him off the ledge. i'm anti-sure i made him a trump supporter, but he's not going to commit suicide. >> i had caller on my radio show today that said, you helped get a racist elected. i said, tell me one racist thing he said. i played jeopardy music and he couldn't answer. >> if there was one most single unfair thing, that was the most single unfair criticism. i've known the man 28 years. there is not a single appreciate dishl bone in his body. he evaluates people from the

viewpoint of friendship and the merits. >> you were probably his strongest, best, toughest advocate. now you're being considered for important jobs. the one i hear most often is secretary of state. have you had conversations with him? >> i have. >> can you tell us about it. >> and they're between him and me. >> you're not going to tell us? >> i can't, i wouldn't. i would be very honored to serve. questions -- you know, always a lot of questions and aot of issues and a lot of very good people. he's got a lot of good people around him. i think he's handled himself really well since -- >> since the election. >> since the day he got elected. i think he is going to put together an extraordinary administration of really, really talented people. >> do you agree with me that for him to ignore the mcconnells, they didn't win this election as much as he did. his agenda i think brought in

wisconsin, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania. >> maybe it is just having addressed the reagan foundation on saturday night where we had like an inaugural celebration. i was thinking what it would be like to address them if we had lost, it would have been a funeral. i think you do what ronald reagan did in a very nice way. you put your -- you put your flag in the ground. you laid out -- this is what -- he's the president. they're the congress. he's the leader of the party. he has to tell them, this is what we want and i want you to get it for me. and they should work with him on it. and if we -- and if we have to, at the edges compromise certain things, we should be willing to talk a little, but the main program -- >> he's got to stick to. >> the main program has to happen. what did ronald reagan say? he said i'm going to confront the soviet union. well, he did it. >> cut taxes. >> i'm going to cut taxes. then he had to make a choice because he said he was going to reduce the deficit. i just saw a tape of it. and he said, i made that choice. the choice i made was strong

national defense instead of the deficit because i think that's more important for our future. >> let me ask you this, we go back, our friendship goes back a long ways when you were the mayor of the city, cleaning up the city, and you did a phenomenal job. i watched it up close and personal. if you become secretary of state -- some people say, well, he's the mayor of new york. but how many countries have been to? >> i don't think they realize, i left the country four times as mayor. so i was kind of like trip deprived. so since i left mayor -- this is a rough estimate -- i've been in 80 countries, 150 different foreign trips. >> wow. >> and a lot of it for different reasons, speeches, security consulting where i helped bring down crime. >> a lot of people saw your expertise. >> true. i brought down crime. call the president of colombia, he will tell you i reduced crime. not me, my entire group. we reduced crime in calais by

42%. we reduced crime in mexico city until the mayor of mexico city got fired because he was doing too good a job. i mean that was 12 years ago. >> right. >> so i've been all over the world. >> i know you're very close friends with israel. >> honorary knighthood from great britain. >> yeah, i heard about that. >> prime minister netanyahu has been my personal friend, i never go to israel without spending time with him. i know the world. i have been most of my last 15 years, i've been on -- >> you know what i think the world wld remember more than anything else? when you were given $10 million and you found out what the person had said about israel, and you said, take your money back. >> yeah, all about the united states. >> it was a big moment. >> he blamed it on u.s. foreign policy and our support of israel. and i said -- >> take your money back. >> no, and i called five widows before i did it. >> good for you.

>> it wasn't my money. they told me, we're with you, we don't want the blood money. we don't want the blood money. >> good luck. i expect an announcement probably soon. we'll see. i know you will serve your country well. good to see you, mr. mayor. >> it is a great honor both to serve my country and it was a great honor to serve donald trump and get him elected because we saved this country from going over the abyss. >> we're pretty close now. it is a big job. >> yeah. >> good to see you, mr. mayor. coming up, reports say laura ingraham is in the running to be the next white house press secretary. she will be here with reaction. also later tonight. a trump administration will end this nightmare of violence. we will protect american lives. we will cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities. >> president-elect donald trump campaigning on ending sanctuary cities, but the alt radical left mayors like rom dead fish emanuel say they will fight him to protect illegal immigrants in their cities. we will check in with brexit

live from america's news headquarters i'm jackie ibanez, vice president-elect pence ordering all lobbyists to be removed from the transition team. mr. pence took over the transition team from new jersey governor chris crist rooe last week. those on the list to fill the administration are still under wraps. mr. trump tweeting this. very organized process taking place as i decide on cabinet and many other positions. i am the only one who knows who are the finalists.

as the u.s. are increasing while ability to deal with them are decreasing. that's according to a report from the conservative think tank, the heritage foundation. the report blames $1 billion in budging cuts, leaving the u.s. military with aging equipment and in rapid decline. i'm jackie ibanyez. back to "hannity." >> in terms of staffing the cabinet, he certainly is taking the counsel of many people. each of the positions have several different contenders at the very least he is vetting and talking about seriously. i think for donald trump the criteria are very simple. yes, they're people who are loyal, but not just to him, to his actual -- his vision, his 100 day plan. all right. that was trump senior adviser kellyanne conway earlier today talking about staffing the new incoming trump administration. now, today president-elect trump met with vice president-elect mike pence to talk about filling key cabinet and senior white

house position. fox news can confirm laura ingraham's name is being floated as a press secretary. joining us now, editor in chief, lifezet and fox news contributor and nationally syndicated radio host. listen, i think you would be great at it. that's my honest answer. i think you would be -- i would never in a million years have the patience to deal with those idiots every single day. good luck if you take it. >> oh, come on. >> i would not have the patience. >> why don't you do it? >> no, no. >> sean, can't we do something -- >> no thank you. >> can't we do something like i'll go one day, you'll go the next, i'll go one day, you go the next? >> maybe we can co-host from there. we'll do a show. >> yeah. >> how about this, if you do become press secretary, let me copress secretary for a day, like bring your bff to workday. >> okay, no problem. yeah, bring my old friend to work today. i would love that. i think the country would love it. i can tell you, sean, the

narrative is like so far ahead of where things really are. >> yeah. >> but it is cool to be mentioned. i love what i do. you know, you and i are so privileged and blessed to be doing what we do. >> we are. >> i love talking to the american people every day. that's no exaggeration. it doesn't mean like every day radio is easy, it is not. but it is such a -- i mean it is a blessing, it is a privilege. i love my life. i love what i do. it is nice to have your name thrown in the ring, but there are so many great people they're considering not just for this position but for a lot of positions. a lot of people are my friends and i'm just going -- i'm like, we'll see what happens. but i like what i do right now to tell you the truth. >> you said you're honored to be under consideration. >> yeah. >> if i had to press you a little bit, and i'm not pressing you. you're a friend. i'm not going to do that. if you had to make a decision now and you were offered the opportunity, would you do it? >> you know, i would obviously want to talk to, you know, steve bannon and kellyanne and president-elect trump and just, you know, talk it through. i'm not going to negotiate on

the air here, but i just want to talk it through and see exactly what they -- you know, what it would entail. it is different for every administration. the press secretary position in the reagan administration -- and i worked in the reagan administration in the second term -- was different from the way it is now. the communications position is interesting in a lot of ways as well. i used to be a speech writer, so that oversees the speech writing operation and press is really dealing with press and press messaging. it changes though. there are different parameters for the jobs depending on the -- >> listen, i think you do a great job. >> thank you. >> certainly your background doing what you do here and your background in talk radio, look, most people don't realize you have to be on your feet for three hours a day every day. >> yeah. >> it is more difficult than i think the average person knows, but it also would be a perfect -- it would perfectly prepare you for that kind of task. the problem is we now learned in this election season that journalism isn't dead, it is

dead and buried, and it is beyond not giving information to the american people or informational crisis. there's outright colluding that we discovered between the media, politico, the "new york times," cnn, msnbc, cnbc, all of mess media outlets were colluding with hillary clinton's campaign, feeding questions before debates, asking for questions from the dnc that they could ask donald trump and ted cruz and carly fiorina. i have a very hard time being in the room with those people every day, knowing that they have that institution alibiis. a lot -- there might be some good journalists in there but very few >> think there's a lot to be answered for in this election cycle. i think the press has to answer for, you know, getting a lot of it wrong. without a doubt every survey -- it is not conservative surveys, but every survey on press bias

indicates an overwhelming majority of americans believe it is slanted and it was slanted toward hillary. if you're a journalist and this is your job, just like politicians have credibility problems right now. to build back your credibility if you're interested in doing that, with the people that pay the bills, which are the people that buy the products advertised on your news program, they have to give donald trump a fair shot. they have to be fair about it. i think that's what most people are asking for and what most people should expect from the press. it is a very -- it is a difficult line sometimes for them to walk, sean, but if they're going to be in that business then do that job. if you want to be in a commentator job, then you can do kind of what we do. but you're going to be a journalist, be a journalist and do it fairly. and you can be tough but fair. i think if people are tough but fair, i think of people like tim russert. >> he was a special -- he was really special.

he is in a category of his own. >> yeah, he was. >> we could use more people like him in journalism. i bet he would be pretty disgusted. i knew him fairly well. you knew him well. >> yeah, i did. >> i don't think he would like what has been discovered this election season. >> and i think of people like bright human. remember when brit was white house correspondent at abc. >> he was tough. tom donaldson. >> even tom brokaw when he was on "the "today show"" all those years ago, he's a democrat, but he played it straight. i watched the entire 1980 election coverage, and it was nbc's election coverage. it is fascinating to watch how straight they really played it. >> wow. >> just calling states. this is what is happening. >> yeah. >> that's changed. it is a lot more commentary interjected. i think it is to the detriment of a lot of good work that the press can do. so i'm going to be optimistic --

>> look, if they would delineate what they do, don't tell us you're being a journalist and you're a talk show host like we are. >> right. >> don't pretend to be something you're not. that's what was exposed here. the very people that are so critical of the fact that we do have opinions but we're honest with our audience are the very people that were bigger advocates than anybody ever really knew. i think that's where the corruption of media comes in. >> and i think, you know, there are a lot of websites that will try to come off as news organizations when they're not. they're platforms for, you know, more commentary and analysis. that's fine if that's what you are, but just don't pretend that you're the modern day reporter, you know, reporter on the beat and you're just trying to get at the truth. what you're trying to do is you're trying to confirm your predisposed opinion to think that, you know, whether it is trump's terrible or steve bannon is this or kellyanne is that.

it is just trans pasht. i think what we learned from this election more than anything is that the american people are on to all of this and they want better from all of us, and it is up to all of us i think, and whether you are in government or in journalism or even doing what we do, do it as best as you can and try to be straight about it. >> all right. good luck. and whatever your decision is, i know you will do a good job. thanks, laura. appreciate it. coming up next tonight on this busy "hannity." >> a trump administration will end this nightmare of violence. we will protect american lives. we will cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities. >> donald trump promising you, the american people, that he will end sanctuary cities in this country. but you have mayors from some of america's most liberal cities like chicago and recall, rombo dead fish saying they'll stand in his way. also tonight, brexit legaler nigel farage and our own an

♪ we're going to end sanctuary cities really fast, i can tell you that. sanctuary cities. the nice part is you don't have to worry too much about sanctuary cities in spencer, but you ever see anything -- it is almost like a free zone. you kill people and you're fine because you're in a sanctuary. it is so insane what is happening to our country. a trump administration will end this nightmare of violence. we will protect american lives. we will cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities. >> that was donald trump promising on the campaign trail to end sanctuary cities if elected. now, president-elect trump hasn't been sworn in yet, but already some on the left are very worried he'll actually keep his promising. how refreshing would that be? anyway, cities that openly acknowledge they will not comply with federal immigration laws

are now vowing to keep doing that, that which they've been doing illegally, including chicago mayor rahm emanuel. take a look at what he had to say. >> chicago in the past has been a sanctuary city. took that executive order and made it an ordinance. to be clear about what chicago is, it always will be a sanctuary city, to all those who are after tuesday's election very nervous, filled with anxiety as has been spoken to, you are safe in chicago. you are secure in chicago, and you are supported in chicago. >> joining us now with reaction, sail 'em radio nationally syndicated talk show host larry elder. vice president spokesperson for border patrol council, sean moran. larry, put on your legal hat for

a minute. some people may not know you're a lawyer in a former life in spite of the years of media. this to me -- why do i believe if i break the law or i pledge to break the law the way dead fish and comrade de blasio, the mayor of new york, and others are pledging, why do i think i would go to jail if i violated the law? >> well, you probably would, sean. but you knew it was coming. remember when the house passed the so-called harsh immigration bill? the then mayors of l.a., chicago and new york all said they were going to defy the law. there's going to be a day of reckoning, and the way that donald trump will have leverage, of course, is to try to withhold federal funding. i live in l.a. the former police chief signed something called special order 40 in 1979. i interviewed him about that, and he told me it was designed to do two things. one was to make sure cops did not target people for immigration violations, and the second is if you are an illegal alien and you're the victim of a crime you shouldn't be afraid of coming forward and telling about

that for fear of being deported. that's it. but that law "metrofocus"-th-- been interpreted to mean don't cooperate with federal officials. you have violent criminals under arrest and not being turned over to feds even when there are requests to do so. special order 40 was completely corrupted away from its original intention. >> what is your take on that, mr. moran? >> i agree with mr. helder. it is a horrible law. i understand it from the mayors because they're political hacks, but chiefs of police enforcing the law are not worth the medal their badge is made up. they took an oath to uphold the law of the united states, not the laws of chicago or san francisco, the laws of the united states. our view is that sanctuary cities are an illegal order if they've enacted into an ordinance like chicago. >> i know they can take funding back. but if you set out to violate the law of the land, is there any legal consequences for them for this?

larry? >> well, you know, when you're in the country illegally you have committed a crime. >> i'm talking about the mayors. these people say no, come to our cities, we don't enforce the law here. first of all, wouldn't federal agents have the right to go in there and enforce the law that the mayor says he's not going to enforce? >> this is going to be full employment for lawyers, sean. believe me, there will be lawsuits filing all over the place. i think you're right. i think you can mandate that these mayors follow the law. they've not abided by direct court order in some cases, detainer orders issued by ice to hold people. that's why we've had these illegal alien murders we had up in the bay area. i believe that legally they can be compelled to do so. but the hammer has to be withholding federal funds. that's one thing they understand. i understand that -- >> and rahm gets off saying violate the law, come to my city. he gets off doing that. >> right, right. >> unbelievable. >> i remember the mayor of l.a. once said there are no illegal people here. the point is, sean, democrats

want important us borders for votes. they know it is where their political power is. they know ultimately there will be a pressure for a pathway to citizenship and 90% will vote for the democratic party. that's why they want to do it. >> coming up next right here on "hannity." >> all vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting. we will be very careful. >> very important issue. for months donald trump called for extreme vetting of refugees, and for good reason. officials warned that isis will try and infiltrate the refugee population. today germany just announced a major operation to combat radical islam as they took in so many different refugees. brexit leader nigel farage and dr. sebastian gorka are here. later tonight "fox & friends" cohess ainsley earhart is here to talk about her brand-new book, and her father joins us straight ahead.

we're going to ♪ we're going to suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. radical islamic terror is right around the corner. we have to be so tough, so smart, so vigilant. we can't allow that to happen. we have enough problems. all vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting. we will be very careful. >> that was president-elect donald trump promising extreme vetting to keep you, the american people, safe. now, there's good reason to worry. police in germany stage anti-terror raids in 60 city targeting an ultra conservative islamic missionary group which is accused of trying to recruit for isis. germany may have another problem on their hands. from january to june of this year over 370,000 asylum seekers were registered in that country.

u.s. officials have been warning isis will try to infiltrate the refugee population here. joining us with reaction the leader of the brexit movement, as you see him here he met with president-elect donald trump over the weekend, niegally farage. and the author of defeating jihad, who i would argue is a good candidate for the administration. i want to talk about the islamization of europe and what happened in germany because we have james comey, we have michael stein beck, the assistant fbi director, our cia direct direct director brennon, the special envoy to defeat isis, all said isis will infiltrate the refugee population. how dangerous has it been from europe and what can we learn from you? >> well, it has been disastrous. of course angela merkel took the opposite policy position to the one president-elect trump is

taking. she said, if you remember, last year, please, all come. we can take as many people as you can send. what have we seen? not just the rise of radical groups, the likes of which the german police are trying their best to hunt down today, but also we saw those scenes. remember on new year's eve at colone train station, the mass, open, sexual violation of women going on in a western german city. now, i'm not saying that because i want to demonize anybody, but i am saying this. what's happened for many of the middle eastern countries is the spread of isis. i feel that we ourselves may be partly responsible for causing it by toppling saddam, by getting rid of gadhafi, but whatever, the fact is it is there. remember, in these countries women are at very best second class citizens. so at best we're bringing in a problem, a cultural problem that will be very difficult to assimilate and maintain our

values. at worst, we're bringing in people who actually want to kill us. >> and that's what our top intelligence and security officials have been warning, dr. gorka, good to see you again. it would be great to see you in the trump administration. >> thank you. >> look, donald trump supports safe zones, victims of a civil war, food, medicine, clothing, supplies, safety, baby formula, whatever is needed, cots. there is this clash of cultures though that nigel farage is talking about, and that is if you grow up and you believe you can tell women what to wear and they can't drive and go to school without a man's permission and guys and lesbians can be killed and marital rape in some of these countries is legal, and the persecution of christians and jews are institutionalized, how do you bring people in from countries that believe that, have been born into that, that is their culture, and expect them to just become americans? in other words, to assimilate

immediately. >> right. >> it is a stretch to me. >> so, sean, let's start with the fact that we are a christian nation. we are a judeo-christian nation. so we help people when we can help them, but that is not a contract for national suicide. that doesn't mean, as hillary clinton said in her private speech to the bankers, we don't need any borders, pull down the borders. >> the whole western hemisphere. >> the whole western hemisphere, one big happy party. it doesn't mean you quintuple the number of refugees. if she had won what nigel is talking about, europe is what america would have been like in five years time if hillary had become the president. >> probably 100%. nigel, did you see that coming in america? i know you love america. you're one of our closest allies throughout history. unfortunately, i would argue under obama those relations have been strained, but did you see that for america? was that one of the reasons you were so vocal for donald trump? >> yes, it was.

i mean the big picture is i believe in nation state democracy. i believe the people should be in charge of the decisions that affect their lives. what i saw with my country, with the european union was increasingly those decisions being taken somewhere else, and crucially borders being completely removed. i could see that clinton basically viewed the building you can see behind me, the european union's headquarters, she viewed it as a prototype for something she wanted america to be part of. that's why i went so strong for trump. also, i backed trump because i thought the man had guts and integrity and, boy, he has. >> you have been talking to the trump administration. you would accept a role in national security? >> i think ever american if offered one it would be their duty. this man is going to make america great again, and he's going to provide leadership in the world. >> but you wrote a book, it was a best seller, "defeating ice i." we can defeat them? >> absolutely, but only if america leads in the world.

remember this administration, the obama administration made it part of the u.s. national security policy to lead from behind. look those words up in a webster dictionary. leading from behind means following. we haven't lead. >> what was your discussion with donald trump on saturday like, nigel? what did you all talk about? you did tell me one story i hope you will share about winston churchill. >> yeah, i mean i think trump and i have been the two most vilified people in the western world over the cost of the last couple of years. >> yeah, i think that's true. by the way, i'm not far behind you. i'm close up there in some people's eyes. >> i tell you what, sean, you're in the running, mate, don't worry about that. no, i mean this is the extraordinary thing, is that the liberal elite, the establishment, those that had it all their own way for the last couple of decades, brand us as being extremists. brand us as racist. always saying, is we believe in

democracy. i think after brexit and now trump winning, and i was talking to him on saturday, i now hope it is going to spread like an infectious disease across the whole western world. i found -- i found the president-elect trump to be reflective, thoughtful, full of great ideas. i tell you what, having -- and i was very honored to be given that time with him, but i really genuinely believe he's got the makings of being a great president. >> guys, good to see you both. i hope things work out. i would love to see you get that position. >> thank you, shon. >> nigel, good to see you. coming up, ainsley earhardt, "fox & friends" co-host, she is here to talk about her brand-new book which is number two on amazon of all books. we will explain that and more tonight on "hannity." ♪
