your copy of my new book, "settle for more." it is already a best seller. "entertainment weekly" calls it a primer on the value of hard work, self-esteem and perseverance. hope you like it. see you tomorrow. tonight, the media and hollywood continue to lose it and lash out after president-elect donald trump's victory. vice president-elect mike penl p pence is here with reaction. after a big weekend. mr. trump continues to work on filling key roles in his administration. >> i appreciate the chance to speak with the president-elect and i look forward to the coming administration. >> dr. ben carson, laura ingraham are here to weigh in. >> we hope this show inspired you to invoke our american values and work on behalf of all of us. all of us. and outrage grows after the cast of "hamilton" confronts vice president-elect mike pence. larry elder, ainsley earhardt

here to respond. all of that plus lieutenant colonel oliver north and dr. sebastian gorka. "hannity" starts right here, right now. welcome to "hannity." tonight the abusively biassed mainstream alt-left media as i call them and hollywood liberals, they're all losing their collective minds over the fact donald trump will be our next president. vice president-elect governor mike pence will be here with reaction. first, tonight ever since election night press has been looking forex kuss and explanations as to how they got the outcome so wrong, dwr their anointed candidate lost. the latest pathetic attempt from the blatantly biassed media is to blame president-elect trump victory on fake news story. really? watch this. >> did the spread of fake nuss on the web help elect donald trump? we may never know for sure, but researchers are asking the question because made up and false stories are polluting news

streams. >> the reality facebook could actually throw an election has been well-known for years. >> now growing concern these fake stories may have had real influence on voters. fake news infects the left and right. i have seen clinton voters sharing links with election related conspiracy theories. the evidence indicates it is more of a problem on the right, among some, not all trump supporters. >> this is the same media caught colluding with hillary clinton's campaign. we are seeing the mainstream media is so completely out of touch they can't see why you, the american people, voted for donald trump or they simply refuse to tell the truth about what happened. we're also seeing a similar backlash coming from hollywood. over the weekend vice president-elect mike pence here in new york city attended the broadway musical "hamilton" where he was booed by the crowd and verbally attacked by the cast on stage as they're unhinged as well. >> vice president-elect pence, we welcome you and truly thank

you for joining us here at "hamilton," an american musical, we really do. we, sir, we are a diverse america who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us. our planet, our children, our parents or as a whole, our inalienable rights, sure. we truly hope this show inspired you to uphold our american values and to work on behalf of all of us. >> and donald trump took to twitter the defend vice president-elect mike pence. he demanded an apology. of course, the media only focused on trump's response and ignored the incredibly rude and disrespectful attacks on governor mike pence. that's not all. at the american music awards last night, the band green day in what looked like a desperate attempt to try to become relevant again, they used the performance to lash out at donald trump also. watch this. . ♪ usa ♪ no kkk

usa ♪ ♪ no trump, no kk, no fascist usa ♪ >> one of the co-host models mocked the future first lady, even went after melania trump. >> this is my -- >> yes. >> -- melania trump impression. i got to get the face right. >> okay. >> i love my husband, president barack obama. >> now, these nasty attacks from the alt-radical left are unfortunately just the beginning. let's face it, there's going to be a continuous onslaught of vial, divisive rhetoric coming from the left. with that in mind, here is my advice unsolicited for donald trump and mike pence, ignore it. focus on the promises you made to the forgotten men and women in this election. that means repeal and replace

obamacare. lower taxes, repatriot profits, build border wall, appoint originalist justices to the preem court, fix inner cities, energy independence, say radical islam, vet the refugees from countries with values and cultures that contradict our constitutional values, negotiate free and fair trade. remember the forgotten man, they're the ones who voted. here with reaction is price president-elect governor mike pence. i thought you had a line. it was a class hy line when you said, that is what freedom sounds like. it was a classy response from you. >> thank you. well, it is what i said to my daughter when we walked in. you know, we wanted to go see "hamilton." it is an extraordinary production, and, frankly, we really enjoyed being there. but walking in, we heard a number of people booing, then some people were cheering, and then there were more boos, more cheers. i nudged my daughter when we got to our seats and said, remember,

charlotte, that's what freedom sounds like. >> that's a great line. >> you know what i can tell you is that, you know, i'll leave to others whether it was appropriate for one of the actors to address me from the stage at the end, but what i want to assure everyone looking on is that as donald trump said the night he was elected as our next president, he is working every day to be president of all of the people of the united states of america. and to see him in this transition, to see the range of people, of diverse backgrounds that he is bringing around him, to see the policy implementation, the video that was released today about day one executive orders that he's going to sign to implement that america first agenda, i can just tell you it's been truly inspiring to be sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with our president-elect. i am absolutely convinced that come january 20th he's going to make america great again. >> governor, what do you make of some of the reaction? look at college campuses, i mean

even the protesting. you've been at trump tower in new york city. you know, cry rooms for college students, college students being given hot cocoa by professors and coloring books and playdoh and aroma their by rooms. i mean part of me wants to laugh, but it is so pathetic to me. what is your reaction to that? >> well, i hadn't heard a lot of those things going on, sean. >> i'm glad you're busy. >> yeah, we're working real hard on assembling a government around this great president-elect. but, you know, i would just tell you, look, i have been on the losing side of elections. i lost a couple of my own elections many years ago, and it is pretty tough. it is pretty disappointing. but to people who are feeling genuinely anxious about the future, i would just tell you i wish they could be a fly on the wall in the room, like we were up in new jersey all weekend long as one impressive american after another came in. and to see the way our president-elect is asking the tough questions, he's driving

forward. he's assembling a team around him. we have a 100-day agenda to do exactly what you said in your monologue. the president-elect and i have met with members of congress, leaders in the congress. he's already said, i want to repeal obamacare right out of the gate, and i want us to go straight to work on replacing it with free market reforms. we're going to end illegal immigration, move legislation to accomplish that. we're going to reform taxes to jump start this economy. we're going to -- you're going the see this president-elect nominate strict constructionist to the supreme court, and we're going to carry those judicial nominations forward in the days ahead for all of the levels of our court. one thing after another, repealing unconstitutional executive orders. it is going to be a very exciting time. >> everything -- >> and wie're going to see a stronger america at home and abroad beginning on january 20th, i know it with all of my heart. >> that was the agenda that got me to support donald trump and you in the campaign. that to me is the key, because i think if you do those things,

those americans in wisconsin, you know, i watch these people in hollywood. i don't think they understand people in indiana, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, the 95 million americans out of the labor force that i talked about all last year. of that ambitious agenda, the only thing i heard that i'm hesitant about is, what, a trillion dollars on infrastructure, and i know washington doesn't manage money well. where are we -- where are you going to get the trillion dollars? we already have $20 trillion in debt. that worries me a little bit. how do you pay for that? >> well, first off, just remember all through the campaign our president-elect talked about the crumbling infrastructure and the comparison between many american airports and airports around the world and the fact that we need to marshal the resources in the national will to build an infrastructure to support a growing economy, but there's a lot of ways to get to that

trillion dollars. i can tell you from our experience in the state of indiana utilizing public and private partnerships, utilizing bonding authority and enlisting private capital, there's ways you can do this that are going to be fiscally responsible but also give us the resources that we need to rebuild america. but it is all part of an overall agenda that's about reviving our economy, rebuilding our military, reaffirming our commitment to the constitution and the rule of law, ending illegal immigration. >> he can do so much in just three hours, the first three hours. he can undo more than 75% probably of obama's agenda. >> well, that's right. just a couple of hours ago your viewers know this, but a couple of hours ago the president-elect just released a video outlining a series of executive orders that will begin to implement that make america great again, that america first agenda literally on day one. whether it is ethics reform or

trade reform or economic reform, regulatory reform, people can check out that video tonight and see that what i'm seeing every day, is america has elected in president-elect trump a ceo who has rolled his sleeves up, and he is driving this transition, driving the planning, laying out 100-day agenda, a 200-day agenda that will make america great again. >> listen, it will be a dramatic shift. i think the key to the economy, my own opinion is the 15% corporate rate, repatriation of trillions, eliminating obamacare and energy independence. we can't be dependent for the life blood of our country on countries that hate us. he met with a guy that called him all sorts of names during the campaign, and all of the reports that he would consider him for secretary of state, that kind of shocks me, especially when you have somebody like rudy giuliani on stand by. >> there are a number of people he is considering for that role and other significant roles.

i think what the american people saw this weekend and really since the election day is a president-elect who is drawing americans from diverse background around him. i will tell you that he and governor romney had a very cordial and a very substantive discussion. >> were you in the discussion? >> and talked about foreign policy. i was there for most of it. they did have some private time together. >> did they address the elephant in the room, which was how harsh romney was to him in the election cycle? >> well, you know, honestly i think these are two people, both of whom have run for president nationally. the president-elect obviously won the election, governor romney came up short in his effort, but, you know, i think they're two people that have both said some tough things along the way. but what i saw in that room was in president-elect donald trump and in the graciousness of governor romney brought was two men that are completely focused on the country, completely focused on what is in the best interests of the united states,

and america standing tall in the world and reviving our economy at home. and i was frankly very impressed. >> one last question. >> with that discussion. >> you see the attacks against steve bannon that have been debunked. they've attacked senator sessions. i know there's attacks against rudy giuliani because he did business with foreign countries. that was what his business was. chuck schumer talking about supreme court and all of the things you would expect. would you want mitch mcconnell to use the nuclear option as harry reid did? >> well, i think we -- i think -- you know, i would leave that to the leadership in the sten at. you know, i have met with the leadership -- >> you're president of the senate, right? >> that's right. >> you will be. >> but i would leave that to the members of the senate to determine what's appropriate. but i honestly believe that going forward, whether it is supreme court appointment or more than one supreme court

appointment, whether it is ending illegal immigration, whether it is repealing and replacing obamacare or reducing taxes, rolling back regulations, i think the american people are about to see what it is like to have a president in the oval office who is going to take his case to the american people every day and marshal the support that saw him win that historic election. i mean to see the way the president-elect won places like michigan and wisconsin and pen sill vein ya' and florida so decisively, he has a mandate to lead the nation. i think from day one you're going to see him take the case to the american people and we're going to work directly with the congress and drive forward an agenda that is going to revive our nation and strengthen america at home and abroad. >> governor, you were a big help in that. my hope is really simple. i want americans to get their jobs back. i want america to prosper. i want our homeland protected, and i want america leading abroad. not an easy task ahead of you.

we wish you god speed. thank you, sir. >> thank you, sean. thanks so much for the opportunity to be on tonight. the american people can be confident come january 20th they are going to have a president who fights every day for those forgotten men and women, for all of the american people. he is going to put america first. >> i called it the forgotten man election. people weren't paying attention to it. governor, good to see you. vice president-elect pence, thank you. coming up, a very busy weekend for president-elect donald trump as he continues working to fill key spots in his administration. up next, we will speak with laura ingraham and dr. ben carson. later tonight. the president-elect is demanding an apology. >> yeah, i heard. >> we assume no apology is forthcoming. >> there's nothing to apologize for.

sunday writing a ticket when he was gunned down. motive not yet known. i'm kelley wright. back to "hannity." today i would like to provide the american people with an update on the white house transition and our policy plans for the first 100 days. our transition team is working very smoothly, efficiently and effectively, truly great and talented men and women, patriots indeed, are being brought in and many will soon be a part of our government, helping us to make america great again. my agenda will be based on a simple core principle, putting america first. >> welcome back to "hannity." president-elect trump had a full schedule today including a sit-down with former texas governor rick perry among others. senior adviser kellyanne conway discussed the many meetings taking place. >> not everyone who has been interviewing with him and giving him advice and sharing their

experiences and their vision for america, not all of them will be in his cabinet or be in his federal government, but they all are incredibly important in offering their points of views, their experience, and certainly their vision for the country. it was also a busy weekend for president-elect trump. he met with some high-profile people who may be considering for positions in his administration, including former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. also spotted was new jersey governor chris christie who was an early trump supporter, and retired marine corps general james "mad dog" maddus, also melt with mr. trump. the meeting that got the most attention was with a former foe, the 2012 gop candidate for the presidency, mitt romney. here with reaction, former 2016 candidate dr. ben carson and editor in jeev. nationally sinld indicated radio host laura ingraham. your name is out there for a possible position, you're open

to one? >> yeah. >> you're in new york. >> i'm kind of like you, you and i love what we do on a daily basis, it is such a privilege to talk to the american and hear what they have to say. >> i've never been mentioned. >> you're too rich. the crumbs go to everybody else. they're doing other things that are more important than press secretary. >> i am worried. i think you would be great, but i think it would drive you nuts. >> tell me why. >> because those people are vicious. >> yeah. >> look, it would be entertaining because i don't think you take their crap. i would enjoy watching it. >> yeah, well, i think that the american people are a little tired of the old game, the old press game. i think they're on to the press people. i think they're on to the bias. every poll shows that. >> why do you have to go out and talk to them every day? you don't. >> he met with all of these members of the press today, which i found kind of interesting. i mean they're the ones who messed up. he got it right.

and they're the ones who messed up their analysis, they got their predictions and projections wrong. i think he is showing he is very magnanimous. he sits down with folks from fox. >> more gracious than i would be. >> yeah, george stephanopoulos, most people just want to destroy him. >> and they will. >> talking about young producers. >> cnn, nbc. >> yeah, we know what they're about. i'm not sure what the point is having the big kabbutz. maybe there's a point, maybe it is making people feel better or included. i don't know. >> dr. carson, you took yourself out of consideration but i heard you are reconsidering whether or not you might serve. is that true? >> well, first of all, you know, what i've always said is that my preference is to work outside of the government because i think there's so many important voices that need to be heard that are outside the bubble. but i never said that i would not serve under any circumstances.

what i've said is after they've gone through the process and if they conclude that, you know, my services would be essential, i would certainly give it serious consideration as would any good american i think. >> you know, laura, a couple of people bother me. i'm a rudy fan, and i see that they're already attacking sessions. i mean he has a great -- >> jeff is -- >> he has a great civil rights record. >> he is an amazing person. prosecuted the klan, made sure a klan member got death penalty. rosa park holiday. >> extended the civil rights act, all of that. >> he was with john lewis on the 50th anniversary of bloody sunday, the great photo i tweeted out today. i have known him so long. remember, the only vote that arlan specter said he regretted, his own vote was voting against jeff sessions. that was after he became a democrat. >> why am i worried -- look, i think to this day mitt romney would have been a great president. >> terrific. >> i really believe that.

but he called trump a fraud, a huckster and every other name and actively worked against him. if donald trump chooses him, i think it is a huge mistake. >> i don't think someone who came out that personally -- >> it was personal. >> those weren't substantive criticisms of trump's trade or immigration or tax reform, that's one thing. i frankly don't even agree with that. if you're republican and everyone played for you and rallied to you and i, rallied to romney as much as we could, but that it was so nasty. >> personal. >> and it was quoted -- how many times was mitt romney played in a hillary clinton ad? >> ad. >> so i guess have people in, and i guess it is magnanimous and gracious, but i think loyalty and competence and an ability to, you know, i think advocate on behalf of these issues really important. >> we have one more segment. dr. carson stay right there.

more with laura ingraham and dr. carson. also the night. decisions have been made by the president-elect that he wants to focus out of the gate on repealing obamacare and beginning the process of replacing obamacare. >> repealing, replacing obamacare, a big promise president-elect trump made on the campaign trail. how quickly can he get that done? we'll continue with dr. carson and laura ingraham, and then ainsley earhardt and larry elder will weigh in on the "hamilton" outrage and all of these hollywood celebrities losing their mind, out of touch with america. ainsley's book still number one in the country now for the second week. ♪

♪ working with the majority in the house and senate to move forward an aggressive agenda. decisions have been made by the president-elect that he wants to focus out of the gate on repealing obamacare and beginning the process of replacing obamacare with the kind of free market solutions

that he campaigned on. from there, we'll work on issues ranging from ending illegal immigration, reviving our economy through tax reform, rebuilding the military, restoring the infrastructure of this country. >> that was vice president-elect mike pence on fox news sunday. he said repealing and replacing obamacare will be one of the first things that president-elect trump will do after he is inaugust rated. we continue with dr. ben carson and laura ingraham. what are your thoughts on what happened with governor romney, dr. carson? >> well, i think he wants to make it clear, donald trump wants to make it clear that he's willing to listen to a variety of different opinions. i don't -- one of the things that i've noticed about him is that he's a very good judge of character and a good judge of intent. so he's assessing that in mitt romney, and i don't think he's going to do anything that would be unwise here.

>> you see how they're attacking general flynn. did you see what they did to bannon? you see that they're trying to set the stage if rudy gets an appointment. how much political collateral is trump allowed to use here? in other words how much -- >> i think he's allowed -- >> yeah, go ahead. how far is he willing to go fight for these guys? >> i think he will fight extremely hard. he's learned, you know, the tricks of the media, you know, everybody is a racist, everybody is a homophobe, just silliness, and he's going to call them out on that. i certainly will call people out on that. and let's talk about the actual issues. and if you want to accuse somebody of something, come up with something very specific and let's talk about that rather than these broad generalizations that they always do. >> laura? >> i think you see the wisdom of what reagan did, i think in week six after he was -- >> i don't want to talk about

political collateral. >> collateral damage in politics. >> exactly. >> you see what reagan did six weeks into his president-elect status. >> doing well. >> he named six or eight, i can't remember which, cabinet members. so all at once. i think dropping a few names here and there -- >> gives them time to slam them. >> it allows the left and all of the left wing interest groups and cnn to go borrow down into their negativity and sin simp and, you know, the nastiness that turns people away from politics, which is why people don't want to serve in administrations. >> you're willing to consider it? >> i am willing to consider it and there was one reason. >> why? >> for my country. that would be the only reason i would do it. it is certainly not time. >> not nor the money. >> i would do it for my country and do it well and be really fair, but only for the country because everyone has to do their part. >> the reason i like the agenda. >> yeah. >> i like, first of all, the

supreme court originalists, i like corporate tax rate of 15%, repatriation, vetting refugees, get rid of obamacare, education back to the state. all of these things matter. and energy independence is big. if he did all of those things -- >> oh, my god, it would be great. >> the country would be better off. by the way, i'm going to go, excuse me, i'll be in the room. >> guards, can you remove him. >> get him out of there. >> thank you, immediately. >> that will be must-see tv if laura becomes the press secretary. >> at least it will be fun again. >> it will be fun. coming up next here on hoik. the president-elect is demanding an apology. >> i heard. >> we assume no apology is forthcoming? >> there's nothing to apologize for. >> the "hamilton" actor who gave vice president-elect mike pence an earful over the weekend, he refuses to apologize. we will check in with ainsley earhardt and larry elder will

from ♪ welcome back to hoik. so there's fresh fallout over the broadway musical "hamilton" and the public lecture one of its star actors delivered to vie president-elect mike pence following a performance he attended over the weekend. president-elect trump is demanding an apology, but brandon dixon, the actor who delivered the pointed remarks to pence, says he has nothing to apologize for. watch this. >> the most important thing with respect to all of the emotions everybody is feeling after the election is to make sure that people recognize that we are not alone. we are here together, and we need to listen to one another and speak with one another. those of us who feel like maybe their voice has been marginalized or might become marginalized, means it is important they recognize there

are allies all over the place. >> the president-elect is demanding an apology. >> yeah, i heard. >> we assume no apology is forthcoming. >> there's nothing to apologize for. >> joining us with reaction, nationally syndicated salem radio talk show host larry elder as well. you see that book? number one book in america, well over a week, "take heart, my child, a mother's dream." why are you laughing? >> because it is so surreal. larry, sean, aren't our viewers the best. >> they are. >> thank you, thank you, thank you. >> i don't know what to make of this. pence was really gracious. we just had him on. i loved his response. that's what freedom sounds like, even when they boo you or you speak their mind. i thought it was a pretty cool response. >> you're right, yeah. we live in a great country where you're entitled to your views and your opinions. my problem was he did handle it with grace and dignity just like he always does, the quintessential christian and

quintessential gentleman. but what does bother me about this, sean, is that they do have the right to say this, but he went to support them. he is sitting in their house. when a guest comes to your house, you treat them with respect, you're nice to your visitors, and he paid money, a lot of money, for his whole family to go to that event. >> by the way, those tickets aren't cheap. >> i know. imagine sitting there and you feel -- it is kind of bullying a little built. imagine sitting in the audience and everyone is looking at you and booing you and they're giving you a lecture when you're there to see them. >> i agree with you, but, you know, after hearing about, larry, all of the cry rooms and the aromatherapy and pet therapy and cat therapy, the dog therapy. >> right. >> and college kids getting playdoh and coloring books, i can't handle it. grow up! you're a bunch of whiney cry babies. i don't know what -- i don't know what to make of all of this. >> i thought it was con descending, i thought it was disrespectful. the man is coming to see a play,

and an actor gives him a lecture about diversity and protecting america? are you kidding me? speaking of diversity, it is a play whose producers once put out a casting call for non-white actors. how much diversity do you think there is in the audience when you point you had out some of the tickets go for $2,000, and about protecting america on january 20th trump and pence will take an oath to defend, protect the constitution. they don't need a lecture from a stage actor about their job. regarding defending and protecting the country, if i were an actor and obama, by the way, saw this play and i decided that obama was not protecting the country because of the iran deal, because of pulling out prematurely out of iraq, failure to vet the syrian refugees and i stood up there and said that, i would never work again. that's how intolerant this industry is. >> the american music awards this weekend, it is part of this trump derangement syndrome by the alt radical left in the country. they're losing their minds.

but, all right, i think trump is fair game. mike pence is fair game. i don't like when people go after the kids of politicians. i never have and i'm not going to. why are you going after their wife? this is what i guess the model gigi hadad, whatever her name is, said and made fun of melania trump. >> this is my melania trump impression. i have to get the face right. >> okay. >> i love my husband, president barack obama. >> all right. our own ainsley earhardt knows melania trump and had an interview not that long ago. watch this. >> i'm very strong, i'm very confident, and i could handle everything. but what i will not allow are people saying lies about me, saying lies about my family, my

husband. >> what lie made you the most upset and how would you like to set the record straight? >> the lie was that i was working as an escort. that is not true. and it just is terrible what is going on out there. >> ainsley, isn't english her fifth language? >> fifth language. she is extremely smart. i saw that as they were making fun of her, making fun of her accent. you know, you're talking about the cry rooms, the therapy dogs, i'm like, you know, you're in college -- >> i love the playdoh and the coloring books. >> you know, just go to a party, have fun, go out with friends. >> no, give them your book, "take heart, my child." >> this is what i say to supermodels and actors and singers, like sing, walk the runway, do what you're hired to do. we don't care about your political opinions. look, hillary clinton had all of these celebrities come to her events. >> it didn't help. >> it didn't work. most of the fly over states, the

southern states where i'm from, we can't relate to that. no one cares about hollywood. >> by the way, larry grew up in south central which may be close in proximity to hollywood but light years away. >> it is. >> all of these people, new york, san francisco, los angeles, d.c., they don't understand wisconsin, indiana, ohio, kansas, utah, kentucky, alabama. >> that's why they lost. >> they don't want to understand. >> that's why they lost. >> i agree with you. larry, last word, what is your reaction? >> about this ridicule of melania trump, wasn't it mad lineal bright who said there's a special place in heel for women who don't support other women? i'm more offended with what green day did, who compared donald trump with kkk. >> when was their last hit? >> 25 years ago. >> right. >> and barack obama who made us buy health insurance whether we wanted it, could afford it or needed it.

that's the definition of government telling you what to do. i thought music was about young people being rebellious against establishment. where's the barack obama song? >> they're not relevant anymore. >> no kkk, no fascist u.s.a., seriously? >> right. >> congrats on the book. number one in the country. larry, good to see you. >> you too. >> coming up, president-elect trump said he wouldn't real out the possibility of bringing back enhanced interrogation techniques. we will check in with dr. sebastian gorka, lieutenant colonel oliver north. that's straight ahead. what powers the digital world? communication. like centurylink's broadband network that gives 35,000 fans a cutting edge game experience. or the network that keeps a leading hotel chain's guests connected at work, and at play.

♪ what do you think about water boarding? i said i like it a lot. i don't think it is tough enough. we have people chopping off heads and drowning 30, 40, 50 people at a time in steel cages, right? nobody has seen this before. this is like from the middle ages. you know, you have to fight fire with fire. >> that was president-elect trump on the campaign trail, leaving open the possibility for the u.s. to once again start using enhanced interrogation techniques. over the weekend senator john mccain voiced concern about water boarding saying the united states will never use the technique again, but vice

president-elect pence wouldn't rule it out in a trump administration. watch this. >> a president donald trump is going to focus on confronting and defeating radical islamic terrorism as a threat to this country, and we're going to have a president again who will never say what we'll never do. >> joining us with reaction from inside iraq, he's been there 14 days, my frie host of "war stories" lieutenant colonel oliver north as well as the best-selling book "defeating jihad." colonel, you asked a lot of the men and women there in the battle for mosul what they thought of the election. what did they tell you? i think we have the tape. >> well, it's been a fascinating scene here, sean. we had an iranian shiite militia try to break through the core don. we had to hide our cameras, we managed to get a little documentation. we had iraqui soldiers -- let's go with the iranian standoff

first. that's the iranian militias, guys led, directed by the iranians thechlt ha iranians. they have no business being there. it was a stand off this afternoon. it got dicey as a matter of fact. >> you are in the middle of it. i hope you are armed. tell us about the soldiers you have been meeting have been saying about the election here, colonel. >> well, you have -- we have a young iraqi soldier that griff jenkins asked what he thought of the trump administration. here is what he had to say. >> what do you think of the lks? >> the election? >> the lks, the new president. >> trump is very good because he is going to make american great again. >> pro america and you're from iraq? >> i'm from iraq. >> you think trump will be good for iraq? >> yes, it is good because he told the truth. it is good in iraq. >> you said the majority had the same sentiment?

>> yeah, i think most people do. you know, certainly the u.s. soldiers we have been with, you know, we have been here two weeks now. we covered just about every part of the country we possibly could. the kurds like president trump, they are looking to having the chance to chat with him about the future of what is going on here. the young soldiers that we have been with, he believes in it. the controversy is not over here. they're looking forward to a trump administration. >> dr. gorka, obviously trump is inheriting a mess, and that's isis. i mean the fact we pulled out and cities that americans fought, bled and died for, mosul and ramadi and tikrit and p fallujah, we now have to fight over them again because this president didn't stay there. what is the advice you give trump? >> the very first thing the

president has to do is he has to rebuild our relations in the middle east. our most important regional partners, the egyptians, the jordanians have been disrespected, have been shundne in the last eight years and they're the key to winning. the curleds are great but they're a small fighting force that will not be recognized in sunni areas. it will be a lot of serious presidential diplomacy to convince everybody in the region that wants to be our friends that america is back and we wish to help you and we have your six. we're not about invading these countries, we're not neo conservatives, but we're here to help you protect your countries. that's the first thing that the president, the 45th president has to do. >> yeah. all right. colonel, i know you have some greetings. these guys wanted to say high to friend back home and families? >> they do indeed. sean. we have a bunch of them spooled up for everybody to see. all they have to do is turn tvs

on 24/7, they will get to see the youngsters out here serving our country in uniform, 101st airborne division, a great, great young soldiers. >> i know, colonel, you have been gone 14 days. you better get home. you're going to be in trouble if you don't get home over thanksgiving. i saw your e-mail this weekend. get home, my friend. quick program note. be sure to watch "war stories" with colonel oliver north this sunday 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. eastern. coming up, we have an important question of the day. it has to do with obama and will have the class of george w. bush, next.
