a fan of the new album -- the world is a different place after trump's win, the next album will have to be changed accordingly. it will hopefully be out by new year's day, next year. "hannity" is next. >> sean: welcome to "hannity" ," we will have many guests tonigh tonight. the press conference today was the single greatest beat down of the alt left abusively biased mainstream media in the history of the country. and that is tonight's opening monologue. president-elect donald trump took on the press after the so-called journalist at cnn and buzzfeed expose themselves to be nothing more than political hacks. they ran wild with unconfirmed, completely unfounded allegations

that president like donald trump has been compromised by russia and that they hold embarrassing personal and financial information about him. he addressed it at the press. take a look. >> it should have never been written, it should never have been had, it certainly should have never been released. it is all fake news. it is only phony stuff. it was gotten by opponents of hours as you know, because you reported it. so do many of the other people. it was a group of opponents who got together, sick people. i think it was disgraceful. disgraceful. that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake. out. i think it is a disgrace. i say that and i say that. and that is something that nazi germany would have done and did do. i think it is a disgrace that information that was false and fake and it never happened got released to the public.

>> sean: it is a disgrace. cnn and buzzfeed should be ashamed of themselves. this so-called dossier that was put together as opposition research, that was done by trump's political opponents. it had been out there for months. responsible media outlets stay away from it, but not over at cnn, the clinton news network. take a look. >> we have learned that the nation's top intelligence officials have reported information last week about claims of russian efforts to compromise the president-elect donald trump, it included allegations that russian operatives claim to have compromising personal information about mr. trump. >> there produced by a former mi6 operative with great experience in russia and the soviet union. >> it is something that's being taken very seriously and they will have to get to the bottom

of it. >> sean: cnn cannot get enough of it. but today, he had to correct some of the major allegations about michael cohen, who will join us later from the trump organization. take a look. >> michael cohen, trump's lawyer, has been out there because in the sun cooperated report, he talks about michael cohen, trumps lawyer making a trip to the czech republic. my reporting suggests that people did try to run that down and that they concluded that it was a different michael cohen. it was a michael cohen with a passport from another country, the same birth year, different birthdate. >> sean: while makkah, another michael cohen in the world. imagine that. once again proves my point that journalism in america is dead. i've been saying it on the air since 2008. when it comes to the alt radical left liberal press, there is a massive double standard. they will push fake news stories about president-elect trump, but

they never even bothered to ask about or look into president obama's very troubling past. the madia asks barack obama only one single time and i fed the question to george stephanopoulos about his relationship with the unrepentant bill ayres, even though obama launched his political career in his living room, give speeches him and they didn't care. that was obama and for 20 years, no problem. he attended the church of gd america, america's chickens have come home to roost. he listens to reverend jeremiah wright and they turned a blind eye to all of this? obama embracing the tactics of leftists? this is only a few examples. they didn't do their job in 2007 and 2008. if donald trump had done any of those things and had any of those connections, that would have been on the front page of any newspaper, would be all over tv news for months. just like cnn tried to attack

trump, at the press conference earlier today, you remember any instance when barack obama was treated like this by the left-wing media? take a look. >> since you are attacking us, can you give us a question? >> go ahead, go ahead. no, not you, not to you. >> you are attacking our news organization. can you give us a chance to ask a question? can you state categorically -- >> don't be rude. don't be rude. no, i'm not going to give you a question. you are fake news. >> sean: and then he said, that's not right. you're going to lecture the president-elect of the united states? cnn, they are not always that aggressive. who now works for the clinton news network, he was drooling over president obama after his first 100 days with these softball questions. >> during these first 100 days,

what has surprised you the most about this office, and chanted you the most about serving, humbling, and it troubled you the most? >> let me write this down. what was the first one? >> surprised, troubled, and chanted and chanted. and humbled. >> sean: enchanted, really? ignore these people if that is how they're going to treat you, they don't deserve the access they think they deserve. these are the same people, they were caught red-handed openly colluding with the clinton campaign to help her win back the white house and to beat you. we're going to put up all the examples on the screen in a minute. the media has proven they are incapable of treating trump or any republican fairly. what we saw from cnn and buzzfeed, it should serve as a dire warning to the incoming

trump administration. the media desperately wanted clinton to win, and now they're going to try to destroy the president-elect, to be donald trump. president donald trump. they're going to be many dishonest takes from this process, joining us now, the author of "the new york times" bestseller, former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. i remember before you get you came speaker, but in the ensuing weeks before you became speaker, before he even did a thing. you are the newt gingrich that stole christmas. and they had what, tiny tim with a broken crutch? didn't they? >> yeah, that was "time" magazine. i was the grinch that stole christmas on "newsweek." i was --

>> sean: and you have even taken office. >> i think there are a couple of big lessons here that i think sean spicer is going to look at very carefully. in baseball, hockey, basketball, if certain players behave inappropriately, you kick them out of the game. in hockey, it is fairly common to bench them for a certain amount of time. i think the way acosta behaved for cnn, have him suspended for 60 days. send someone else. to all the other reporters, they are going to be real limits. when you get beyond those limits, you ain't going to be there. they shouldn't put up with this. it's bad for the country. i also think that dan coates, the dude who nominated the director of national outsidersnce will go in and and really dig through how

politicized, how intellectually corrupt and dishonest the senioe intelligence community have become. i mean, in my lifetime, i can't remember as a public document that the intelligence community produced. not some lakes, but they are giving the next president of the united states pure garbage. >> sean: we watched the president, barack obama, last night give this revisionism in history about his record last night. i came on the air with facts and figures. but i was the only media outlet to do that. and told the american people the truth. nobody vetted him in 2007 and 2008 as i did. it's like i'm doing their job. nobody tells her the truth about all the broken promises and any of this record.

do we have an informational crisis and how should donald trump deal with it? >> part of it is you have a news media today which the intellectual idiot. why would you expect people who don't know any history to be able to report on history? why would you expect people who are shallow and report only today's exciting story to have any sense of depth or any sense of background? i think part of this is a real crisis of our education system and what has happened in general to our media. but in addition, the white house press has this self-importance that the trump team have better figure out how to break up. there are 500 some members of the white house press corps. they don't have the five, six, seven people dominate every sigel day. they can rotate them. they can also expended

privileges to reporters from out of town. they would be a lot more courteous, they will be a lot more responsible, they wouldn't have this adversarial, i mean, what kind of reporter believes that they are the equal of the president of the united states and they get to yell at him and lecture the way we saw in today's press conference? it is absurd. is going to keep going on until steps are taken to remind people that there is one person who won the presidency. that is donald j. trump. there are a lot of people who are voyeurs who are watching the one person who won the president. they are not equals. we've got to go back to understanding they ain't equals. >> sean: while we were talking about the truth of what really happened, which will be wiped out in pretty short order, let me give didn't do the of the foreign coverage. i would argue it didn't even go away for eight years. take a look.

>> he was played off stage tonight by the bruce springsteen song, land of hope and dreams. that largely summarized most of his speech tonight. >> he was soaring, it was as good a speech as this. but of course that was before, it is after. it's harder to do it after. >> i think his whole speech was poignant in a way and very graceful for a president of united states to exit. >> sean: add to that, wikileaks and all of these major news organizations colluding with hillary clinton. these are significant problems and a truth has now been exposed. journalism is dead. did donald trump bury them toda today? >> he didn't bury them today but i think he certainly began to draw the line for the fight that is coming. you don't have to think of "the new york times" or cnn or any of these people as more news

organizations, they are mostly propaganda organizations. they are going to be have to trump everything will day of his presidency. he needs to understand that that is the case. so does sean spicer in speaking for him. they simply need to go out there and understand they have it in their power. to set the terms of this dialogue. they can close down the elite press, they can create totally new venues for employing the american people. they can go to facebook and to youtube and to skype and they can have average citizens asking questions. you you'd have a much richer dialogue if you broke up the monopoly of the elite news media ants this kind of just added to that they have that they have the right to yell at the president of the united states. as you point out, they never did to obama. because after all, he was there -- >> sean: he was enchanted.

>> that scene is hysterical. that could be in a bad movie. >> sean: [laughs] a bad movie. and i get criticized. unbelievable. mr. speaker, thanks for joining us. tonight, right here on "hannity." >> michael cohen of the trump organization was in prague? it turned out to be of different michael cohen. it is a disgrace what took place, it is a disgrace and i think they ought to apologize to start with. >> sean: will the real micah: please stand up? michael cohen is owned at owned an apology. much more as we continue straight ahead americans - 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day 50+ a complete multi-vitamin with 100% daily value

>> this is a fox news alert. u.s. director of national intelligence said he spoke to president-elect donald trump tonight about recent media reports regarding last friday's briefing. james clapper said he felt profound dismay, and trump agrees that they are externally corrosive to national security. on the president-elect is not a u.s. intelligence community product and he doesn't believe the leaks came from within the intelligence community. earlier today and his first news conference since july, press the elect trump blasted news organizations that have published the material last night. i'm jack ibanez, now, back to hannity for all of your headlines you're watching the most powerful name in news. fox news channel.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity." during his press conference today, pressing elect trump took aim at cnn and a buzzfeed for covering and on verified story about mr. trump and his alleged ties to russia. it claimed that trump's lawyer michael cohen met with kremlin representatives in prague in august of 2016. one small little if problem. michael cohen has never been to prague. ever. he is with the president-elect had to say about this earlier today. >> as far as buzzfeed, which is a feeling pile of garbage, writing it? i think they are going to suffer the consequences. they already are. as far as cnn going out of their way to build it up? and by the way, we just found out, michael cohen, he is a very talented lawyer, he is a good lawyer, my friend. it is just reported that it wasn't this michael cohen that we are talking about. so all night long, it is michael cohen. i said, i want to see your

passport. he brings his passport to my office. i say hey, wait a minute, he didn't leave the country. he wasn't out of the country. they had michael cohen of the trump organization was in prague. it turned out to be a different michael cohen. it is a disgrace what took place. it is a disgrace. i think they ought to apologize to start with, michael cohen. >> sean: earlier today i spoke with him all about this and he said this. >> joining us now, executive vice president and special counsel to donald trump, michael cohen's with us. in my allowed to look at this? >> i do want to joke about it because it is serious in your life. this is your passport. you're watching this unfold. i got a text from a friend of mine. are you watching cnn? they are going insane. and then this whole thing unfolds. you are dragged through it all through the night last night. you are a private guy. we are friends, i know you. this is not comfortable for you. >> it is not comfortable but i

am okay with it personally because it benefits mr. trump and i will do anything to protect mr. trump, his family, now vice president elect mike pence. i am okay with it personally. the problem is that it affected my family, it affected my wife, my in-laws, and that is not okay. i believe that cnn and buzzfeed and others owe them a serious apology. there is an old expression. where'd you go to get your reputation? you know where you have to go? to be a donald trump press release. >> sean: that was pretty amazing of you. >> think you did donald trump for what he did, because without his help, who would have thought that there may have been more than two michael cohen's in this world? >> sean: i know you for long time.

you got called by mr. trump and mr. trump asked you were you ever in prague? and your answer was -- >> never. so he said michael, i really need to know. i said mr. trump, i've never been to prague. he said to me, okay. i said, do you want to see my passport? he said, yeah, do you mind if i see it? i said of course, you are the president-elect. >> sean: i don't mean to laugh but these people, i did an opening monologue just in the last segment about how journalism is dead. it is buried. and fake news, last night, i retweeted your tweet. with the passport. and you know what people were writing? >> so many people hate me. >> sean: people are saying so, it's not opened. >> with all due respect to those haters, do you really think i was going to open up the passport and allow them to see

my i.d. number? next thing i will be trying to leave the country for whatever the reason might be, and what will happen? someone will have already duplicated it with my i.d. i have spend the subject of personal attacks and the last thing i need is have somebody with my passport number on top of everything else. >> sean: you and i had a discussion last week. and i said these words to you. i said, the media and the left want to destroy donald trump. what he is doing, if he is able to fulfill his agenda. he is opening up a raw nerve in d.c. that means the immediate establishment, the democratic establishment and even the republican establishment. when he talks about draining the swamp and fundamental core changes to government, this threatens who they are and what they have done and the way they have done it all of these years. >> their goal is to malign a very good man who i truly believe will go down in history if they leave him alone as the

best president. >> sean: michael, they are not going to leave him alone. it >> i will make sure they leave him alone. he is a good man and so is vice president elect mike pence. they are a great team together. they're going to do exactly what they say. they will strengthen the military, secure our borders, create jobs -- >> sean: if he keeps all of his words, he will go down as a great resident. let me go back though. you show him the passport. you are in los angeles. i have to give a little insight here. your son -- >> by the way, you knew i was in los angeles. >> sean: your son is a top major league baseball pitching recruit. he throws 98 miles an hour. >> 95. >> sean: to timmy, it's 98. i wouldn't want to catch it. we looked at the time frame and we went over this yesterday, weu were out with your son.

>> how my supposed to argue when i'm telling you that this was where i was at? they are claiming, you weren't there. i said, yes i was. i was there. i was in los angeles. well, why were you there? what is the difference why i was there? i was not in prague. they claim that they have photos of me with some russian government people. i said, let me see the photos. >> sean: did you see any when you were in prague? all the fawning coverage as i discussed in the last segment of obama and this horrible treatment of donald trump, the president-elect today, i think this is just a preview of coming attractions. how do you analyze -- what is the best strategy for the incoming administration to take? >> very tough question. you don't know where it's coming from and who isn't lobbing these attacks against him. fortunately, mr. trump has a

significant number of people, i like to keep myself in that circle of extremely loyal peopl people. we will do what is necessary to protect him and the office of the presidency. on top of that, this man has assembled with the entire team a significant group of incredible people who will help him in order to get his agenda accomplished. including ivanka and jared who are going to play key roles. >> sean: they are trying to attack him too. look at what they did to ivanka when she wore a bracelet on "60 minutes." somebody tweeted out. >> it's so wrong on so many levels. we don't say stuff like this on the golden globes. >> sean: up next on "hannity" ." >> if putin likes donald trump,

i consider that an asset, not a liability. russia can help us fight isis. >> sean: trump says putin liking him might not be so bad after all. also coming up later tonight. >> obamacare is the democrats problem. we are going to take the problem off the shelves for them. >> sean: democrats, they better get ready. trump says he will be good on his promise to repeal and replace obamacare, and later, we will get reaction from herman cain and anthony scaramucci as we continue on this busy newsnight, on "hannity" ."

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity." during his extensive press conference, donald trump responded to questions about what u.s. russian relations would be like under his administration. let's take a look. >> if putin likes donald trump,

i consider that an asset, not a liability. we have a horrible relationship with russia, russia can help us fight isis. i don't know that i am going to get along with lot of you put in. i hope i do. but there is a good chance i won't. and if i don't, do you honestly believe that hillary would be tougher on putin the enemy? does anyone in this room really believe that? here, presses piece of plastic. the guy looked at her like, what is she doing? there is no reset button. we are either going to get along, or we won't. russia, china, japan, mexico. all countries will respect us far more than they do under past administrations. >> sean: and you remember when hillary clinton presented russia with the reset button. take a look. >> i wanted to present you with a little gift with each represents what president obama

and vice president biden and i have been saying. and that is, we want to reset our relationship. so we will do it together. >> thank you very much. >> you are very welcome. we worked hard to get the right russian word. did we do it right? >> you did it wrong. this means that come >> sean: you may remember when barack obama said, hey, tell vladimir -- watch this. >> after my election i have more questions. >> sean: i will tell vladimir. ari fleischer, editor-in-chief,

fox news contributor, why are you laughing during my show? >> then he looks and says it is wrong. you got it wrong. >> sean: think about this. it's jv. it's embarrassing. trump was right that today. he is not going to do it better than they will. it's probably ridiculous. he's going to come in with a paramedic i imagine in a very i think practical point of view in dealing with russia. they are not a friend. they are an adversary but we also work with our adversaries on issues. maybe we'll be able to work with them on things that actually help our allies and america. what is so wrong with that? bush wanted to reset with russia and i would say failed. and so did obviously obama. maybe trump will be able to do a slightly better job. the idea that trump is going to botch it?

obama botched it. >> sean: all right, so you saw how they treated donald trump today. i don't remember barack obama being treated that way. they were a little rougher i think on george bush than obama but not this bad. >> i will give you a direct answer to that. but george bush never sought to reset with russia. a strong ally of ours after september 11th, until they essentially became a giant gas tank and putin got wealthy and greedy. bush dealt with him as such. but in terms of the news conference, you nailed it. i just never saw the press treat barack obama with such roughness. nobody treated george bush like that. just face it. the press is hostile to donald trump, they always will be. and he is happy to return the favor. he actually has the upper hand in that relationship. >> sean: i thought it was a

knock out and very entertaining. i thought it was fun. which of donald trump to going forward? should he push them out of the white house? should he bypass them, laura? >> when the press is doing its job, it should be a cheerleader for the administration. it should be an honest broker. and be a check on power. that's what the press does for both parties, equally. but that they have to occupy the white house, i never bought that. >> sean: and colluding with hillary -- >> they could be brought in fruit press conferences if that is necessary, when it's merited. it could be over at an executive office building, or jackson plays are one of the other federal buildings, they did that they have to camp out at the white house all day, i never understood that. i don't know what the purpose of just having them hang out at the white house is. >> sean: this phony pony show that goes on every day, is it

time to put that to pastor? >> i would take it off of live tv. it's become a show, act aggressive, you get packed mentality. that's all designed for the camera. there is much more sober serious job, certain reporters wouldn't mind if he was taken off life t tv. >> sean: should you be banned? >> i will not be press secondary who determines who can commit to the white house. it's a slippery slope. you will fight with all kinds of reporters when you are the press secretary. you are a legitimate news organization or you should come in, if you're not, you shouldn't come in. i'm comfortable with the government making that call. >> sean: laura, i know you're being, at least in the press, i

think he would probably within a week be throwing things from the podium. >> no, i would have fun with it. you have to fun with the process. but it is not an easy thing to do day in and day out. i think it's getting better day by day. he's done a good job today, sean spicer. today was a tough day. it came out as a a big win. >> sean: tonight, up next, on "hannity." >> obamacare is the democrats problem. we are going to take the problem off the shelves for them. >> sean: president-elect trump, earlier today he promised to repeal and replace obamacare. doing it simultaneously. i'm next, we have a reaction from and anthony scaramucci. david clark will join us. he is mad about how jeff sessions was treated.

has been a struggle. i considered all my options with my doctor, who recommended once-daily toujeo®. now i'm on the path to better blood sugar control.

toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly, providing consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours, proven full 24-hour blood sugar control, and significant a1c reduction. and along with toujeo®, i'm eating better and moving more. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds

(thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death, even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. toujeo® helps me stay on track with my blood sugar. ask your doctor about toujeo®. with toothpaste or plain water.an their dentures and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day. >> sean: welcome back to "hannity." earlier today during the press

conference, president-elect donald trump was asked about obamacare. and this growing presser to repeal and replace at the same time, here is what trump said earlier today. >> we are going to be very proud what we put forth, having to do with health care. obamacare is a complete and total disaster. it will be repealed, and replace, it will be essentially simultaneously. it will be various segments, but will most likely be on the same day or same week but probably the same day. good to the same hour. obamacare is the democrats problem. we are going to take the problem off the shelves for them. we are doing them a tremendous service by doing it. we're going to have a health care that is far less expensive and far better. >> sean: joining us now with reaction, herman cain and trump

transition team executive, committee member anthony scaramucci. all of the inaugural ball tickets, you are in charge of. i apologize. >> keep going. keep it up, sean. >> sean: we are friends. look at, herman his ticket now. >> no, herman got his ticket already. >> sean: there are nine separate plans that are out there for replacement. they are very similar, but to me, there are three very specific components. on top of heart ability, job to job. across state lines, right now it is illegal to get a catastrophic plan if you are a young person. it is ridiculous. if you are a heart attack, cancer, an accident, if we have health savings accounts and cooperatives lake in wichita, kansas, does not solve your

problem? >> some of it. there's gotta be a big introduction to the way we deliver medicine to patients. every industry is at an s curve where you've gotten the delivery of service to be better at a lower price. data transmission on your phone, airlines, you pick the industry. once you do you regulate the industry a little bit, you can deliver the services more cheaply. another thing that has never been focused on is the supply side of. we've got to figure out way to empower people that want to go into medicine. so that we can match the 40 million people that are on the plan with more doctors, sea sean. >> sean: very comprehensive. free-market solutions will result in better care, lower prices. >> absolutely. hasn't that happened throughout 5,000 years of capitalism? think about what happened during the reagan administration. over 32 years later, we've got

data transmission down to fractions on a share. versus where they were when you and i were making collect calls from europe to our parents. >> sean: well said. >> that's where the president-elect wants to be. he said something very powerful. he is actually helping the democrats because this is an albatross on their necks. >> sean: i'm sure they're going to say thank you to trump. they're going to send him roses and chocolates in the morning. the media too. herman cain, millions lost their doctors and plans. no family saved $2500 a year. according to kaiser health is $5400 increase, that does not include 2017 increases. on the political side, that is one question. but what is the most workable solution from your perspective? >> from my perspective, what people are going to be surprised of is that the republican plan

as it evolves is going to be much simpler than that whole monstrosity, that disaster called obamacare. the democrats tactic is to try to spread fear when in fact, you can repeal and replace. the trump administration is going to replace it, with something that is much simpler and fairer. >> sean: i thoo take a year. did you think that? >> may be in political terms it will take a year. but he has not sat down with president-elect donald trump. >> yesterday he said he would do it at the same time. >> well, then, you also have the other possibility, sean, that you want to exceed expectations. you don't want to set the time frame so short that then you go over it because those vultures out there that are on a witch hunt will use that to hit the republicans. >> sean: attacking the media again when you call them vultures. i heard you.

>> i am attacking the media. they are so blatant with it, sean. >> sean: as soon as you got out of the race, no more stories about herman cain. nope. it's amazing how brutal they are. good to see you both, . >> i'm going to sean's barber next time. >> sean: are you making fun my haircut? up next on "hannity" ." >> i don't feel like waiting a year and a year and a half to build. mexico will reimburse us and they will reimburse us for the cost of the wall. >> sean: president-elect donald trump says he will start working on the border wall as soon as he is inaugurated. objects, we will get reaction from david clarke, who was also angry about the treatment of jeffji sessions.

to go on to long past his first 100 days, or past the first six months, congress will put this on the back burner. i'm glad he is keeping this front and center. it has been the hallmark of his campaign. >> sean: i asked him numerous times, if you don't expect mexico to give you a check. and he said of course not. probing the money in the first place, but that is what he had always said but ultimately they will pay. let me ask you about cory booker. he says about jeff sessions i feel so honored to work with him, celebrating civil rights activist. i thought that was a good thing they both did together. and then he testifies today against jeff sessions and the most tactical way imaginable. did you think he was trying to audition like barack obama? i thought it was so phony. >> i thought it was disgraceful on the behalf of cory booker. i've met him, he's got more class than that. he lied about jeff sessions.

he lied about statistics all in an attempt to like you said, audition for 2020. but that was not the time to do this. he calls jeff sessions a friend. if he saw the opening of that, he just stabbed him in the back for the rest of his presentation. it was phony, he is a poor man in terms of acting because he just doesn't have it. >> sean: wow. are you going to be joining the administration? >> that is up to donald trump. >> sean: that it was a pretty a quick answer with a little more cadence than i am used to with you. thank you for being with us. and happy new year. coming up, we have a very important question of the day. that's next. ♪
