is happening on january 20th. >> he who shall not be named. >> it's happening on january 20th. there are millions of people who did not vote for him. and who feel frightened. i run into people all the time. they say they are scared, they don't know what to do. >> sean: these crybaby left-wingers need to grow up and accept the fact, be a gracious loser. you lost. donald trump will be the 45th president off the united states. some of you need to get a grip on reality. realize just how completely out of touch you are with the american people. it is you are it failed progressive policies that have been proven to not work. you don't believe me? look at cities like chicago, b detroit, baltimore, where they have been ruled by big government ideas that they champion. now we are supposed to listen to the same liberals, let them influence the rest of the country?

i don't think so.th the elite left needs to get out there little bubble, theirle private jets, open their lives for months and maybe look at their electoral maps. you see all the red there? i know, not california, new york, but look at all the red there. that's where donald trump won on a landslide.e. with these people don't seem to understand is that the people is more than new york and california and most of the northeast. millions of people who live in the middle of the country, where all that red is and for eight years, you had 13 million more americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty, we have the lowest labor participation rates since the '70s and lowest home ownership rate in 51 years. by the way, for those california liberals that want to succeed because donald trump won, that's okay, go ahead. take your 55 electoral college votes with you. here's my message, the american people rejected the obama clinton agenda. because it doesn't work. times stop andd fear mongering.im

give president-elect trump a mess that barack hussein obama has left us. co-host of "fox & friends," author, fox news contributor, do you have any more jobs? and mom of three! >> most important. >> sean: they are not going to change, starting with obamacare, take it from there. energy dependent, the environmentalist amount. the nea comes out. when it becomes about taxes, the rich versus poor. old versus young. it's predictable, it's not going to stop, t is it? >> no, it isn't. to some extent, it is fun to watch i must say because the meltdown is utterly predictable. and also positively tedious. people like harry belafonte, he is one of the honorary cochairmen of the march for women's rights to abortion. they call it the march for women, it's really a march about abortion. harry belafonte is one of the

honorary cochairs. he was a civil rights pioneer for sure, but harry belafonte has gone so far left for many years, ridiculing people who are black but not liberal. using the most horrible language to refer to conservative black americans. also harry belafonte has for years i think spoken of racial animosity by sadly calling america part of the villainy that brought us to 9/11. if you look for blame after 9/11, bin laden didn't come from out of nowhere. you see the hand of america's villainy. i am paraphrasing. villainy was the word he used to describe america after 9/11. this is the kind of agitation squad that we are always going to have out of the elite hollywood left. they feel somehow w expurgated from their guilt for being successful or wealthy, i don't

know what it is. they feel better after they did doea a rally after like the one you'll see on saturday. they get it all out and then issue.ve onto the next >> sean: let me ask you about another issue that came up today.y. that is the president, now president, barack obama chelsea manning. the fact that obama commuted the sentence of him and also it was julian assange that had tweeted out, well hey, if he gives him an act of clemency, he would come to the united states. what does that mean? >> i think we have to look really carefully at all of obama's d pardons. the pardon and commutation power is, there is no check on that.el prerogative. he could do whatever he wants. at a time where so many in the left arede complaining or making these allegations about russia and the release of documents, it is interesting that he decided to go with the manning commutation.

i don't think you're going to hear much of an explanation from president obama, maybe in some post-presidential interview. he'll give us some insights on that. whether it's a gitmo release or some of these other sentences he's commuting, i think again it's all going to have to be sifted out in the historical look back. >> sean: the fact that the white house was hacked, the department of defense, including by the way, to the office of personnel management, your personal files, 23 million others.il and they didn't do anything speaks volumes about how we have failed the american people. i want to ask you, here's my advice or donald trump. he's three days from becoming the president of the united states. my advice is really simple. don't trust the republican establishment, the democratic establishment or the media establishment ever. part two, keep the promises he made to the american people. he actually laid them out in writing.e if he does that, he will walk into reelection and the country will be better off in my opinion. >> i think that's great advice,

sean. if president-elect trump comes into office and keeps those line, who are waiting in all those hours in pennsylvania and in airplane hangars in minneapolis, keep those people in mind. those people turned out to vote for him. spread the message of economic populism, borders, better trade deals, cracked down on violent crime, economic prosperity, raising the standards of school choice, going into the inner cities, spreading that message. the communities that have been poorly served frankly by both parties, if he does that, i think all of these protesters, all these leftists who are so upset and bitter, i don't know where they're going to go. the country is either going to get better or not. >> sean: is laura ingraham contemplating running for senatt for the commonwealth of virginia? >> i've not set up an exploratory committee, sean. i understand you weren't available to run it. i haven't sent that off yet. >> sean: i will step off now.

if you run, i will endorse and support you unless you want me to not do that because it might hurt you. i will do whatever works better for d you. >> [laughs] in the commonwealth of virginia, maybe you can un-endorse in northern virginia and inu the heartland of virginia. >> sean: the rest of virginia, the normal part of virginia, i will endorse you. >> i am considering it, sean. i haven't started an exploratory committee, in the e political front and business front. i appreciate the question. >> sean: coming up, fox & friends cohost ainsley earhardt steps up with an interview with donald trump. plus, he is back, bob beckel has returned to the five. we go one-on-one about how wrong he was about donald trump. later, corey lewandowski and charles hurt. herman cain and more, straight ahead on "hannity." hey, need fast heartburn relief? try cool mint zantac.

>> live from america's news headquarters i am jackie ibanez in new york. the widow of the orlando nightclub attacker could face life in prison if convicted. that is according to a federal indictment on tuesday. prosecutors claim noor salman deliberately helped plan her husband's terror attack while trying to keep police and fbi off the trail. she was arrested monday and charged with obstruction of justice. her husband, omar mateen, died in the shoot-out with police after killing 49 people at pulse nightclub last june. home improvement and... cutting thousands of jobs in north carolina, announcing its flashing nearly 200. tradition.

the distribution center, customer support center, and the company's corporate office will also suffer job losses. i am jackie ibanez, now back to "hannity" ." >> sean: welcome back to "hannity." they're just three days left until president-elect donald trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the united states. earlier today, ainsley earhardt sat down with mr. trump at trump tower in new york city and this whole interview will air tomorrow morning onn "fox & friends," but she joins us with an exclusiveve preview with her one-on-one sit down. here is what the president-elect told her about senator john lewis is recent comments. >> conger missing lucas is saying he doesn't remember that he skipped the inauguration. >> he conveniently doesn't member. how do you forget if you go to the inauguration? you don't forget something like that. he got caught. it's pretty bad. it is making him look bad,

frankly. he's a very important guy. this is a transition, a very important transition. especially because things will be done beautifully but they will be done differently than they have been over the past eight years. i can say over the past 16 years. they will ber different. we have to have a smooth transition. president obama understands that very well and that's why he's been so gracious. but he understands that. i think for him to have grandstanded, because i think he just grandstanded john lewis, and then he got caught in a very bad lie. we'll see what happens, as far as other people not going, that'ss c okay. i hope they giveve me their tickets. are they going to give us the tickets? >> you're okay with them not going? >> i hope they're going to give us their tickets. >> sean: it's all about the tickets. joining us with a preview for the exclusive t interview, the author of the number one a "new york times" best-selling, "take heart my child," ainsley earhardt. how long did you sit down with him?

>> they originally were going to give us 10 minutes, it got to 15 and then i asked a few extra questions at the end. about 20 minutes. >> sean: did you notice any change, you've interviewed him a lot, and his family, you know them very well, did you notice any change in him at all? >>ow immediately, he said how ae you doing? we've been on the campaign trail with him for basically two years. he basically said it's been exhausting, hard, they'veth hado hire a lot of people. he said without a microphone on, so i guess it's okay for me to share that. he has a lot on his plate. he's going to be the commander-in-chief. i said you are a few days away from becoming the president of thee united states of america. how does that feel? because most of us, the majority of our country will never experience that. he said, it's been a long road, i'm extremely honored and glad to serve the american people. >> sean: what else did he say about john lewis?

i noticed, steve harvey took a lot of heat just for meeting with the president-elect. if barack obama invited me to the white house, i would have been there in five seconds. i would have bought him a beer and spread the love. >> steve harvey, kanye west, mlk iii, he's met with some prominent americans in this country, he said he was interested in talking with h congressman lewis. i said, could you all work together and talk? alevdath king said, "my uncle would have really loved for them to work as a country. there are more pressing issues. everything happening, and russia, there are other pressing issues that our country needs to focus on. we need to come together as a country." he said he was all for that. he said, i don't mind if john lewis if they're not. i would like for them to be there but if you don't want to show up, it's fine. more seats for my family, my friends, my supporters. what he's doing is not hurting me because i really don't care basically is what he is saying.

it hurts the country. >> sean: he addressed the whole issue with you about the attempts, i call them snowflakes, the attempts to delegitimize him as president. i will get into this with bob beckel in the next segment. you have a lot of congressmen and women not going to the inauguration now. all of this is a pretty harsh attempt at hurting him. >> he said he just responded to your tweets, you are insinuating that he might be a behind the leaks. brennan responded to that today in fact and said he is not the leaker. someonepo is. i can only take him for his word, if he saysd he is not, someone is. someone leaked information to the press. >> sean: i guess the most important thing to me as a conservative is i like his agenda about originalists building the wall, obamacare, repealing and replacing, he

talked specifically about his agenda items. >> i was just firing all these questions, he said repeal and replace will happen at the same time, he doesn't want anyone to be sick, he wants to provide insurance for everyone.he a lot of people are wondering how it they are going to pay for this, insurance companies will help them pay for it. about the wall, what was your other question? veterans come back after serving our country, they are self-medicating. he said that that is uncalled for, that we should help our veterans out, we should get them back on the battlefield if that is what theyr, want. the majority of them are saying that is where they feel safe. they come back self-medicating, no one is taking care of them. as far as the wall is concerned, people can walk in and out.fe there will be doors. huge gold doors like his apartment. that's what i'm imagining. he's going to build the wall, he is not going to separate families coming he's going toar have a heart about it.

he just wants criminals out of the country. >> sean: i think liberals will be glad to hear that. you hadr some fun questions. trump on these hollywood snowflakes, not going to the inauguration, here's his answer to that. >> it's very interesting what's happening. about the celebrities, where some of them decided they are not going to sing? they were never asked to sing. >> like who? >> all the celebrities.ng one of them said, i told them i'm not going to sing. you were never asked to sing. many of the celebrities that are saying they are not going, they were never invited. i don't want the celebrities, i want the people. and we have the biggest celebrities in the world there. >> sean: there is celebrities you told me, are there. >> we never even asked them to, he said. what about melania's dress? tom ford has come out and said he didn't want to dress melania. melania said we never even asked

tom ford. i happen to like tom ford sunglasses, he said, but they said they don't like tom ford for his designs. >> sean: this is a great question, because everybody's talking about twitter, whether he will use twitter,h let's roll that take. >> what about twitter? are you going to continue to tweet? >> yes. look, i don't like tweeting. i have other things i could be doing. but i get very dishonest media, very dishonest g press. it's my only way that i can counteract. for instance, when john lewis said you know, he's never done it beforest where he skipped and yinauguration. well, he has. it turned out to be a lie. i'm able to say that.et he should not have said a thing like that. i'm able to say it. when people make mistakes, i called them out. i'm going to be close to 50 million people, including facebook and instagram and

different things. i will be very close to 50 million people. when people misrepresent me because the press is very dishonest, unbelievably dishonest, when people misrepresent me, i have atop let a way of saying it's a false statement. if the press were honest, which is not, i would absolutely not use twitter. i wouldn't have to. >> sean: listen, he can bypass the media that colluded with hillary. why shouldn't he? >> if you think about it, we get the numbers every day. he has 20 million followers on twitter. how many did you say? >> sean: 50 million people. >> he doesn't need the media. >> sean: the media may find themselves on the outs. the full interview airs tomorrow on fox & friends. any special our? >> throughout the whole show. some people get up at 6:00 a.m., there at the door. some people get on at 7:00 a.m.,

probably every 30 minutes we will show it. >> sean: thank you for sharing it.0 "take heart my child" on amazon. ainsley, thank you. coming up, bob beckel is back. we will go one on one on how wrong he was about donald trump. also tonight. >> ya'll really hurt me. you really did. i did not expect the backlash to be so fierce. >> sean: steve harvey saying he received heavy liberal backlash for meeting with president-elect trump this week. herman cain is here with reaction, and more, on this busy newsnight on "hannity." week. herman cain is here with reaction, and more, on this busy newsnight on "hannity." i had that dream again --

the locks. >> sean: at my kids would be like wise uncle bob out there smoking cigars at 6:00 a.m. when they are going to school? >> your wife cleaned everything in the house, had to go outside. i gotten a little little bit of trouble for that. i did talk to your mother-in-law for a long long time. >> sean: i remember that. >> what did it feel like yesterday, was it good to be back? >> itt was, it was like deja vu last night at dinner. it was so strange. >> sean: did eric bolling have, to do the heimlich again?? >> no, fortunately i stayed away from shrimp. >> sean: [laughs] >> it was just so nice, to see those people. >> sean: can i just take my you've never been more wrong on politics in your life. b i will play montage of you being so wrong about donald trump. let's roll the tape. >> i've one thing to say one

thing only. that is that this race is over. trump has no place to go, his race, effectively as of tonight, is no longer a presidential race. this race isia over, you might s well check it. the question now is how do you minimize damage? as far as donald trump is concerned, it will never, ever happen. remind me thatd i said this, she will crush him. she can crush him from jail. >> sean: from the tape, she will crush him. she will crush him from jail. that's what he said. are you saying i'm right, she belongs there too? why did you see this coming, you are smart. >> i don't think i analyzed any race closer than i did for this one.e. i don't think i was ever as wrong as i was on this one. i'm usually right. the reason for it was that i happened to look just like

chance at cherokee county north carolina, i am in north carolina. rural county, 65/45. trump was beating her, so i went around to other rural counties, and realize that democrats just and pay any attention to them. >> sean: you know how i knew? because i was out on the road with him, you been doing this for a pretty long time, and i k saw with my own eyes the passion, the lines at 6:00 in the morning for 7:00 p.m. rallies, they were massive. it reminded me a little bit of the phenomenon with obama in '08 and nobody listen to me and i turned out to be a hundred percent right about obama and the wreckage that he is leavingg us in three days -- >> that's just dead wrong. >> sean: that's just dead right. >> what are you talking about? >> sean: 13 million more in poverty, 13 more million on food

stamps. >> you are still studying the 1950s, aren't you? third operation, i came out and -- the guy is lost, first of all after my third operation, i came out of anesthesia -- >> sean: you saw a vision of me? >> yeah, too many times. they said donald trump's president, and i said jesus, it's true. here's the thing that really got me. when i heard that trump announced after 50 years, some of the best diplomats, henry kissinger and others cannot find an answer to the middle east, but who can? donald trump, talking about jared. the guy can build a building but why doesn't you take a crane operator with him? >> sean: argue the same guy that said this, remind me, she will crush them. welcome home.

in all seriousness. >> anything about the democrats, we ignored the rural areas and also frankly, the candidates. 56% negative going against the 60% negative. hell, you could've won that race. >> sean: i think it will take that at the half complement. good to see you. welcome home. it's good to have you back. up next, tonight, right here on "hannity." >> do you agree that donald trump is in effect not a legitimate president? >> i think that there is no question but the process that elected him was not legitimate. >> sean: al sharpton adds to the list of crybaby sore loser liberals that are questioning the legitimacy of trumps presidency. corey lewandowski and charles hurt are here with reaction. then later tonight. >> a lot of y'all hurt me. you really did. i didn't expect the backlash to be so fierce.

the public discourse at the time of the election, those that were expunged from being able to vote, clearly the process has serious questions about it. >> sean: also over there to msnbc, maxine waters, she was a guest on the mr. thrill up my leg chris matthews show. impeachment. i told you this was coming. watch this. >> if we find out that somebody on behalf of donald trump was on the phone or in email relations with somebody in russia, or the ambassador to america from russia, and there were some sort of collusion, then what? does that make trump subject to impeachment?t? what you mean by nonlegitimate? if you find out there was a n connection. collusion, your turn. >> here's what i'm trying to get to. if we discover that donald trump or his advocates played a role in helping to devise a strategy, if they are the ones who came up

with crooked hillary, the ones who came up with she is ill, something is wrong with her energy and the way that he basically described her in the campaign, i think that is something that would put the question squarely on the table, whether or not he should be impeached.g >> sean: joining us now withti reaction, avenue strategies partner, cory lewandowski from "the washington times," charlie hurt. cory, tried everything here. they tried golden shower gate, now they are trying to delegitimize. they tried the russians did it. it's she even made a comment, maybe the russians were responsible for creating thesi appearance tt hillary clinton was collapsing at the freedomns tower. oh, really? did vladimir putin poison her coffee that morning? what happened? there is something sinister going on.

they don't want to accept the verdict of the american people. how serious should donald trump take this, cory? >> 63 million americans joinedus the election and voted for donald trump. the american people have spoken. the russians had nothing to do with hillary clinton setting up her own private server in somebody's bathroom or the emails. they had nothing to do with the clinton foundation, the clinton administration since the day they left office, they had nothing to do with hillary clinton not connecting with the american people. that she's in favor of tpp as the gold standard of trade deals. this is the administration's fault, she was a terrible candidate who could not connect with the american people, they have voted for fundamental, wholesale change which is coming to washington on friday. >> sean: charlie, every big idea that donald trump ran on

and he has been saying in the case for example to ainsley earhardt who is going to air her interview tomorrow, he wants to follow through and build the wall. people will call him racist, the xenaphobic. he wants an originalist on the supreme court, he will take heat for that. lowering the corporate tax rate, he will he keep that. education back to the states, to me this is a nonstop effort. this campaign and their minds is never going to be over, and they want to hurt him. ultimately, if they can, they want to destroy him. and by overreaching here, or am i accurate? >> no, i don't think we are going to stop hearing about it for four or eight years, they are not going to stop talking about it. one of the things i think upset some the most or causes them tht most angst is something they've tried to conceal but you just went through the list of issues. if the media tries to talk about how he ran an issueless can campaign, bull.

he ran a complete issues campaign. >> sean: very specific on every one of those issues. >> on every one of them. and there were things that were sacrosanct not just to democrats but to republicans. he went after all of those things. specific. they are gladly have hung onto the all of this nonsense, from maxine waters to all of these people saying he's illegitimate. they would rather talk about thatin. >> sean: do you agree with us, do think this ever ends, with every issue we debate now, especially in the first 100 days and beyond, are they going to try i guess to show their satisfaction but also to try and hurt him politically? >> well, they are. look. they are so ashamed of the election that the hillary clinton campaign ran, she ran a terrible campaign, she is known to be accountable to

accept herself. donald trump went out and, tald to the american people. he wants to see america going forward, american first. jobs for our country, economic growth here, making sure that we have goodn trade deals. che was very specific about wht he wants to do, repeal and replace obamacare.e. that is already moving on capitol hill. the democrats don't like it. >> sean: my prediction, the snowflakes, it's want to be a never ending snow super storm in d.c. starting this thursday and friday. good to see you guys. appreciate your time. next on this busy newsnight on "hannity." >> on a personal note, a lot of y'all hurt me. you really did. i didn't really expect the backlash to be so fierce. >> sean: steve harvey saying he is facing intense liberal backlash after meeting with president-elect to talk about issues that face the black community, herman cain will react. that and more tonight here on

hating on harvey just for meeting with the president. harvey reacted to this backlash yesterday on his radio show. listen to this. >> on a personal note, on a lot of y'all hurt me. you really did. i didn't expect the backlash to be so vicious. >> sean: now fortunately, not everyone feels this way.y. stephen a. smith, my friend doesn't feel that way. >> has anyone thought about what impact it could have if trump spoke to lebron james? how about steph curry? how about mike tomlin, tony dungy, chris paul, adam jones of the baltimore orioles or a host of conscientious sports figures connected to communities, committed to j helping inner cities ascend from an abyss that has plagued us for decades. what then? will they be sellouts, too, just for meeting with the man? so why have a problem with steve harvey, while few of us are interested in hearing praise for trump at this moment, let's not

confuse that with recognizing the position he is in, respecting it, and using our intellect to decipher where we go from here. not our emotions. >> sean: well said. herman cain is with us. if you look at 4,000 dead in chicago, 80% african-american, and you look at the educational system in inner cities, violence and inner cities, and itan donald trump is reaching out not only to steve harvey but his entire diversity coalition, he met with martin luther king jr. the third yesterday, they had a good productive meeting, if barack obama invited me to the white house, i would be there in ten seconds to tell him he is wrong on everything. it's an opportunity. >> yes, it's an opportunity. first of all, kudos to steve b harvey, kudos to stephen a. smith, because john lewis and the others who are going to boycott the inaugurations, sean, they think they represent the voice of black people, no they

do not. they represent the voice of the black plantation. yes, i said it. they are trying to people uninformed. they don't want people to think for themselves. they try to intimidate a marching band from talladega work.e and it didn't they do want people to think for themselves and they think by boycotting the inauguration that someone cares. quite frankly, the only people that care about their boycott and their intimidation are not even wanting to sit down with president-elect trump, the only people that care are the ones gullible enough to be sending them back to congress. >> sean: i see a change ofof demographics, democrats if i control for most of thein citie, what we see, more people in poverty, on food stamps, out of work. donald trump hasn't taken office yet but carrier is bringing job back from mexico.

$1 billion that gm is going to invest in detroit, fiat, chrysler, they are investing, florida has pulled out of mexico. the biggest chinese investor wants to create 1 million jobs and bring them to inner-city america. if we change the educational system and get them back to work, is there any moment of opportunity here? where a larger, much larger, percentage of the black vote can go republican if trump is successful? >> there is a moment of opportunity. but people like john lewis and those black, primarily from the black caucus, that do not want to even talk to donald trump, they don't want that moment of opportunity. what donald trump represents and the people he has surrounded himself with, they are thinking outside the box and those thatat are going to boycott theel inaugurations b don't want peope to think outside the box, to solve the problems that steve

harvey, stephen a smith, many of us know that we need in order to be able to make a change. they don't want that moment of opportunity. why?o because too many of them are dependent upon people not understanding that the old policies have not worked, we need some new ones, and we need to think outside the box. >> sean: all right, herman cain. always good to see you, my friend. it's when we come back, a very important question of the day.y. your help is needed. straight ahead. when they come by important question of the day. your help is needed. straight ahead. i am totally blind. i lost my sight in afghanistan. if you're totally blind, you may also be struggling with non-24. calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com.
