friendliest people come a dear personal friend, alan colmes. >> tucker: whatever you thought of his political opinions, he was a deeply nice man and gentle, will miss him. good night. >> welcome to hannity, trump white house strategist steve mendez making headlines for going after the immediate cpac, i'm in for sean. he once again scald the media the opposition party, watch thi this. >> look at the opposition party and how they portrayed the campaign, how they betray to the transition and how they're portraying the administration is always wrong. if you remember, the campaign is most chaotic by the media description, most chaotic, most unorganized, then you saw them all crying and weeping that night just like they were dead

wrong on the campaign, just like they're dead wrong on the transition they're absolutely dead wrong about what's going on today because we have a team that's grinding it through president donald trump promised the american people. the mainstream media better understand something all the promises are going to be up lamented. they are corporatist, global cyst media that are adamantly opposed to an economic nationalist agenda like donald trump has. he is going to continue to press his agenda and as economic conditions get better as more jobs get better, they're going to continue to fight. if you think they're going to give you your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken. >> kimberly: bannon also talked about present trump's agenda, let's take a look. >> if you want to see the trump agenda it's very simple. if it was all in the speeches spirit he went around to these rallies, with a tremendous amount of contents. all he's doing right now is he's

laid out an agenda with those speeches and the promises he made and our job every day is to execute on that. it's simply to get a path on how these get executed. he's maniacally focused on that, every business leader with head and said it's not just taxes, it's also regulation. if you look at these cabinet appointees, they were selected for a reason. that is the deconstruction, the way the progressive left runs is if they can't get it passed, if it's good to put in some kind of regulation in an agency, that's all going to be deconstructed. >> kimberly: vice president mike prince kept up the net with a rousing speech, here are some of the highlights. >> you have elected a man for president who never quits, he never backs down, he is a fighter, he is a winner, and i promise fighter, he is a winner, and i you, he will never stop fighting until we make america great again. this is the chance we worked so hard to see, this is the time to

prove again that our answers are the right answers for america. a strong military, more jobs, less taxes, respect for the constitution, and the values that made america great in a deep and abiding faith in the goodness of the american people. let me assure you, america's obamacare nightmare is about to end. >> kimberly: joining us with reaction, our former obama economic advisor austan goolsbee and a trump executive committee member anthony scaramucci, what we seen for the media, does steve bannon have a point in calling them the opposition party? >> listen, the media has been very rough on the administration, rough on the transition, and rough on the campaign. for those three reasons, i think steve is right. this is a great day for the

administration, the messaging was fantastic. people got to see the harmony between reince priebus and steve bannon, they also got to hear from the vice president. it's a great lead in for president trump tomorrow. the really good news is the business council dinner is going on right now, there's a 100 business leaders that are, the business community is very fired up for the president can be conceived in the stock market. >> kimberly: you are part of the transition team can be worked on a daily basis with the president, with rents previous and it steve bannon and what was your experience like with mark >> great guys, you heard what steve was saying about the deconstruction, the idea right now and often isn't going to like this to unravel all the regulations that has led to 1% growth. give it a little bit of time and you see the economy humming, talking about the tax policies, there will be a harmony here in the team is really starting to

come together. i thought the messaging was fantastic today. >> kimberly: certainly strong message of unity there in achieving, a lot of the goals and objectives that candidates trump has promised to achieve as president trump, what did you make of the situation today, specifically, steve bannon talking about economic nationalist agenda of president trump. >> there was a lot going on in what you saw steve bannon saying. obviously it's a red to so he wants to throw them some red meat. >> kimberly: their bellies are full after that. >> yeah, i guess i would object to one thing which is he portrayed it that chaos is completely created by the media and not reality. let's remember, it was not the media who hired and then had to fire at the national security advisor in the first three weeks, it was not the media who

signed an executive order on immigration that three different federal courts said was unconstitutional and ill thought through. it wasn't the media who promised during the campaign and to have a secret plan to replace obamacare that was going to cost less, cover all of all americans, and to be better in every dimension when in fact donald trump had no such plan and they are scrambling now to figure it out. maybe it wasn't the right venue, but this -- we could never admit that we did anything wrong that we ever made an error or that were going to try to fix it, i think it's not healthy. i think the trump people run the risk of squandering their honeymoon. this is when you pass things, the first six months. >> kimberly: they're trying to do that, the other party has been obstructionist in terms of not allowing him to have his cabinet picks. >> were good friends we go back a long time, that was like a

whole situation, steve was talking about the red meat, austin and i are going to disagree on this. the president does have a plan, the president is promulgating that plane every day. are there going to be mistakes in the early part of the administration? nobody knows that better than austan goolsbee. we saw that happen in many administrations but the gelling of the team is there, the messaging is getting tighter. i could see him smiling because he knows it's true. the stock market something that we follow very closely has been on a tear and that's because people see growth, they see a tax cut coming, they see earnings revitalization and profits for companies but you know what else they see? they see middle-class wages growing because of president trump's agenda and his jobs program. so, yes, is it perfect? nothing's perfect. i like what i see i know over the next 60 days, you're good to be very happy with this administration. a >> kimberly: i'm being nice, what we saw here across the country was this strong movement

of working-class men and women that came out in droves for president trump that really felt they were left behind, they want to put food on the table at the money to pay the bills, and send their kids to good schools. they feel like they were left behind the by the obama administration. >> first, they came out in droves, he has never had the support of the majority of the american people, not in the election. >> kimberly: he won the election, how about that? >> for a new president he has the lowest approval rating in the history of polling for a new president, that includes the functional fox news pole. he did strike a chord, we saw which growth over the last one and half years, but we've gone through a 25 year period mac that's been very tough on ordinary americans. i hope that he doesn't succeed in continuing the growth that we've had in the 15 million jobs we've added in the last seven years. i hope he continues that, that would be great for the economy.

but he has not followed, let's call it the jfk strategy. jfk barely wins the election, he wins bigger than trump one but it's a very narrow victory. he comes in, the first thing he does is he says i'm going to appoint republicans to major positions in the cabinet and i'm going to start a policy things we agree on and give me a chance. i'll govern for both sides. trump has not taken that approach. i think it will cost him after . >> kimberly: your reaction part >> 1962 is not calling us anymore unfortunately, you're in a totally different environments down there in washington. the president came as a change agent, the american people are listening. we can talk about the polls if you want, i think the results that are going to matter, let's give this a little bit of time. 100 days from now, my prediction is the stock market will be continuing on its upward trajectory and the tax-cut will

be looming, it will be very good for the american people very good for the middle-class and working-class families prayed >> kimberly: people expecting results as it relates to obamacare. real quick, as it relates to general flynn, it was the media that was perpetuated this false narrative that he had committed a crime the law he did not violate, the logan act, there was no finding of wrongdoing with respect to general flynn and the president was clear about that. >> them by the donald trump fire and question marks because that was an issue relates to what he had to say to vice president pence and it's unfortunate, but you're still going to move forward with the agenda and that's what we've heard very strongly from the president and his team today at space 26, i give her a. coming up, we could have more highlights and get reaction from dr. bill bennett and later. >> president trump: you see what's happening at the border of the sun for the first time, gang members out, drug lords ou out.

were getting really bad dudes out of this country. at a rate that nobody's ever seen before. they're the bad ones. >> kimberly: that was president trump earlier today talking about his immigration agenda. this as speaker of the house paul ryan toured the southern border yesterday congressman mike mccall, they'll be here later with details. plus it was a hard day for the fox news family, howard dear friend and colleague alan colmes passed away at the age of 66, sean will join us later, stay with us. this program is brought to you by zantac's, no pill relieves heartburn faster for longer lasting relief...in one chewable tablet try duo fusion from the makers of zantac

>> he is very consistent and very loyal to the agenda and is a presence that i think is very important to have in the white house and secondly -- [cheers and applause] a very dear friend and someone that i work with every second of the day and i cherish his friendship. >> i can run a little hot on occasions. and he's indefatigable, it's low-key but it's a thing of respect most the only way this thing works, he's always steady,

it's very steady, this job is by far one of the toughest jobs of seat of my life to make it run every day and make the trains, you only see the surface what's going on underneath and planning three weeks down the road to the degree that were planning it, all these egos in legislation, whether it's the tax reform bil bill, he's indefatigable sangha got to drive this board we've got to drive this forward, i think it's one of the reasons we have such a -- started back in august, we were outgunned, outmanned, outspent. it's because president trump had a message, had this charisma, he had people like here at cpac and we put our heads down, he's been unwavering since the very first moment i met him. >> kimberly: spoon that was whif of staff reince priebus and chief strategist steve mann and giving some insight into the relationship end of the inner workings of the trump administration. joining us now with reaction is

fox news contributor and host of the bill bennett podcast. you can listen to this and that subscribe to his brand-new free podcast dedicated "translating trump." on itunes. i want to get your reaction in the joint space 26 appearance, it was quite interesting. a lot of different factions of the administration, to top guys in there. it does is put to rest the theory that space 25 and it bannon don't get along with mark >> it should but i doubt that it will. i love him, but we've seen to be 25 before. but steve bannon, this was a sunlight debut for him. they are different guys but they get along very well. i must say, this was the right kind of debut for steve bannon. i think you know him a little bit, the guy was direct but not dark. he was straightforward but not sinister. he was candid but not scary.

i think he did fine. obviously a very smart guy, operating at a high level and engaged in a high-level argument which no doubt to the and the corporatists as he called them will take up. are there going to be rivalries in the white house? of course. will there be differences of opinion between the chief of staff and steve chief strategist's? of course. i remember being a near secretary of education being summoned to the white house many times because of disagreements. it was usually because i wanted a lower budget and some of president reagan's people wanted a higher budget but ronald reagan always fixed that. these are strong men with strong points of view. the issues are tough, the load is incredible, there will be differences. i thought it was justified in a good idea. >> kimberly: a good idea, otherwise there's been a lot of public discourse about it. we've seen things on "saturday night live" and otherwise. he went forward to speak on his

own behalf, someone who was such a big part of the movement across this country. the trump movement that brought out in droves the working class and women of america that thought they were forgotten. it's nice to perhaps hear from someone who's on the inside and talk to me a little bit about the messaging and now the movement and direction of the conservative party. >> i think it's a conservative trump party a trump conservative party. a little bit different coloration, a different emphasi emphasis. there's a clear intellectual base for this. you can accuse steve bannon of a lot of things, maybe gratuitously after today. he's very, very smart. he saw a lot of enthusiasm there at cpac. what i thought was key, i don't know if you thought this was that matthew schlapp who was the host and reince talked about the

fusion of conservatism and the republican party and that there is a kind of unstoppable force. i don't know if it's always unstoppable, remember all the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments during the campaign it would be a total split of conservatism and republicanism. it's finding its way, there will still be disagreements. what's the old saying? the dogs bark but the caravans moves forward? the dogs are barking, i thought it was very interesting what bannon had to say about the press. if you think the press, the mainstream media will give up this country without a fight, you've got another thing coming. he's right about that. >> kimberly: kind of a call to arms to say you cannot rest on your laurels. if you want this movement to continue forward in the president to enact his agenda that he was voted in on wholeheartedly, you're going to have to fight for it. do you think that was a significant unifying message and moment to try and pitch this

movement against the mainstream media? >> i think it was reassuring to people, simply the presence of those two together was a good thing. it was kind of a call to arms and for perseverance in this effort. they're going to go after donald trump every day. one of the things that happen for me, i hope you don't mind me mentioning this. he talked about similarity between these two guys, we had this podcast that's now out with mike pence, vice president pence and he talked about how awestruck he is with the job come up with the history, we follow that with a podcast interview with steve wynn, he described going through a tour of the white house with donald trump. he said the most reassuring thing to me was to see how awestruck, how respectful donald trump was of that

white house and its history. that to me as a citizen is a very good sign. these guys know what a big deal this is, what they are part of. they take it very seriously. as well they should, i'm glad to be part of this even if it's an onlooker. >> kimberly: absolutely interesting, with that big job, raising all the money as a finance chair for the party going forward. dr. bennett, we look forward to your podcast, congratulations. the two key interviews that we are excited about it, you'll have steve bannon coming up. thank you so much to him a that on itunes. coming up next, right here on "hannity" ." >> president trump: you see what's happening at the border, all of a sudden for the first time, weeding gang members out, drug lords out. we are getting really bad dudes out of this country. at a rate that nobody's ever seen before. they are the bad ones. >> kimberly: that was president trump earlier today

talking about his new immigration guidelines. this comes after speaker of the house paul ryan toured the southern border. a congressman mike mccaul and john carter who went with speaker brian yesterday will join us next to explain what they saw. and later. >> i think donald trump is already done a number of things which legitimately raise the question of impeachment. >> kimberly: congressman keith ellis men one of the favorites to be the next chair of the dnc claims that president trump could be impeached. steve hilton, charles hurt, and richard fowler will have a reaction, that and much more as "hannity" continues. did you know 90% of couples disagree on mattress firmness? fortunately there's a bed where you both get what

>> president trump: all of a sudden for the first time, but getting gang members out were getting drug lords outcome over getting really bad dudes out of this country. at a rate that nobody's ever

seen before, they're the bad ones. it's a military operation because what has been allowed to come into our country, when you see gang violence that you've read about like never before, much of that is people that are here illegally. they are rough and they're tough but they're not tough like our people. >> kimberly: that was president donald trump earlier today at the white house talking about how he is working to keep america safe. white house press secretary spicer later clarified the president's military operation, saying that he was using that as an adjective. speaker of the house paul ryan toured the u.s.-mexico border and it joining me now is one of the lawmakers that was with speaker brian yesterday, chairman of the house committee on homeland security congressman mike mccaul, think serving on the graham demise. what did you see on your tour of the border yesterday, did anything that you see impact and change your opinion about what's necessary?

>> it was a very productive trip to have a speaker come down, he's never seen it before. black hawk helicopter by river into patrol boats and by land and horseback. a lot of what we saw most importantly is the morale of border patrol has increased exponentially since last time i was down there. i think that's because they now have a president in the white house that supports them, and we now have the political will to finally get this done. i can't emphasize that enough. i think one of the greatest takeaways also is when you look at what you call the wall, infrastructure to provide physical barriers, they have a levee system that's made of concrete that i think can provide a very creative way that the community accepts. it helps against flood to

provide a flood control. a way to put concrete down there but did not offend the local communities down on the border. we have a difficult challenge, unlike in san diego and el paso which has a lot of fencing already, we have a river that goes from el paso down to mcallen and into the gulf of mexico. i thought it was very insightful, there are some greatest takeaways spread >> kimberly: i was reading some articles earlier, you are on record you didn't believe perhaps that they wall might be necessary based on what you saw, what did you mean by that? >> i said consistently physical barriers are necessary but were going to see more fencing down there. when you look at the levees, they are made out of concrete. they do provide a wall, a physical concrete wall in the rio grande valley. but i think you have to have a smartboard are too that not only relies on physical barriers but also technology.

it's very important to have aviation assets, sensors, so we have 100% visibility to see from the sky what's happening on the ground. end of the cameras to pick up what's happening as well. >> kimberly: you have to utilize all the tools necessary to be able to effectuate that safety and security, what are you looking for to see in a toss between mexico and our new secretary of state rex tiller some? >> i think to have a concerted effort to secure our southern border and masco's southern border, they have a border problem of their own, i think working together with mexico to get this thing done is very important, i think rex tiller son is a talented guy can encompass that. i talked to the mexican ambassador myself, he wants to work with us to get that security. i think it's possible. >> kimberly: mutually beneficial, both sides have interest in making sure security is maintained. thank you so much for your time.

>> thanks. >> kimberly: joining us now is another republican lawmaker to the border with speaker brian yesterday, congressman john carter. thanks for being here tonight, let's get your take and your impression and if you believe the wall is needed. >> the speaker made a whirlwind tour, but he got to see every element of what we've got on the southern border. the southern border of texas is very peculiar and different from any of the rest of the southern border in california, arizona and new mexico. because of the river. not only because of the river, but people own the land that borders that river. if that makes a big difference in what we can do down there. the speaker's the challenges, i think he's got a real good view of what's going on appeared >> kimberly: the american people were resounding in their support to put president trump in office that they wanted to build the

wall, they want to have a mexico pay for it. do you believe the wall will be built and how are we going to pay for it? >> i think the wall will be built and walls where walls will work will hopefully be built shortly appeared how it's going to be paid for? that's going to be up for the various negligence going on and what the other committees are working on as a way of coming up with the funding to pay for the wall. all that will be up in the air temporarily, i'm looking forward to supplementary we're going to get in march. hopefully will have funds for homeland security which allows us to get started on this. >> kimberly: you do support that we at least put forth the headphones ahead of time, not so much worry about collecting it, let's get it built and done. >> if there's a plan for collecting it i'm for that. i'm not aware of the plan.

i do need the funds in order to build the wall and a support building that wall. >> kimberly: go out and get them, thank you so much. coming up next, right here on the "hannity" ." >> i think donald trump has already done a number of things which legitimately raise the question of impeachment. >> kimberly: he hopes to be the next chairman of the dnc, now congressman keith ellison is talking about impeaching the president. up next, we'll get reaction from steve hilton, charles hurt, and richard fowler. later, as you know, it has been a very hard day for the fox news family, we are mourning the loss of our dear friend, our colleague alan colmes. later tonight, i will speak with sean hannity about what alan meant to him and this network, stay with us to anticipate is lexus. experience the lexus rx with advanced safety standard.

experience amazing. at planters, we put fresh roawhich has its drawbacks.an, guys, know anything about this missing inventory? wasn't me! the cheeks don't lie, chet... irresistibly planters. so how old do you want uhh, i was thinking around 70. alright, and before that? you mean after that? no, i'm talking before that. do you have things you want to do before you retire? oh yeah sure... ok, like what? but i thought we were supposed to be talking about investing for retirement? we're absolutely doing that. but there's no law you can't make the most of today. what do you want to do? i'd really like to run with the bulls. wow. yea. hope you're fast. i am. get a portfolio that works for you now and as your needs change. investment management services from td ameritrade.

>> kimberly: welcome back to "hannity," on saturday, the dnc will be voting to elect its new chairperson. last night when the frontrunner candidates, congressman keith ellison headed this to say about president trump. >> i think donald trump has already done a number of things which legitimately raise the question of impeachment. right now it's not only about donald trump, it's about the integrity of the presidency. i think we need to begin investigations to not go after donald trump, but to protect our

constitution and the presidency of the united states. [applause] to make sure nobody can monetize the presidency and make a profit off of it for their own gain. >> kimberly: joined them right now with reaction, former advisor to u.k. prime minister david cameron and fox news contributor steve hilton, fox news contributor richard fowler, and fox news contributor and opinion editor for the washington times charles hurt's. what do you think about congressman ellison's remarks? he thinks that president trump has done enough damage or sufficient means to impeach them which is struck in our right there? >> definitely shock and awe. we've waited eight years for democrats to fail to lead, voters have thrown them out of power prayer they don't have a single lever of power anywhere. now their only responsibility is to be the loyal opposition, and they can't even do that. ellison is acting like a spoiled

child throwing a hissy fit, i think it's a perfect example of why democrats managed to lose a thousand seats since barack obama first won election eight years ago. a >> kimberly: steve, what do you think the strategy is here? they suffered devastating losses in the house, in the senate, they lost the oval one they were counting on it they recounted their money in the cards of the table. what is the point here? they seem to not want to go all the way to the left with these bomb throwing statements? >> i think the specific immediate point is keith ellison trying to win the election, so he's basically saying what is based wants to hear, it might be pandering. the i think the bigger point is actually in a broader sense, it may serve him well for his audience and the weekend in the dnc chair election, and the

over-the-top rhetoric really undermines the credibility of the person who says it. it introduces a element of hate and divisiveness in politics which i think the democrats were against. if you're looking at it as a republican, i think this stuff is something you should be cheering on because as long as the democrats wallow in their hatred of trump and it don't do the hard work of really figuring out why they lost elections up and down the ballot right across the country and why working people in america no longer believe that the democratic party represents them, that will help republicans in the long run. >> kimberly: richard, what is the explanation for this kind of lunacy in this bizarre behavior? making comments like that, do you think that ellison is the favorite? is he going to be able to achieve this by tacking to the left of everyone else is of a? >> will have to see. the election will find itself out on saturday. hissy fit is an interesting word that charlie uses there. if my memory serves me correctly, about eight years

ago, a guy named donald trump went around the country and talked about obama's birth certificate and heat through a rather big hissy fit, sadly his president today. here's the problem, i think instead of worried about what the democrats are doing, republicans should start legislating. by the time in obama's legacy, they'd passed at least four or five bills. right now, republicans have passed wait for it, do sega. zero bills. zero bills to the president's desk. >> you raise an interesting point and i'm not defending republicans here, but what does that say about democrats that this monster you talk about eight years ago is not sitting at the white house what to mark is not evidence that democrats have completely failed on every level? >> charlie that's a good point, i think it's less about that, don't get me wrong, i think we got the selection wrong i'll be the first to tell you that spirit with that being said i think at the rate that donald trump is going,

republicans should look in the mirror. here's the point, think about this way. anything the president says makes news. with the president goes out there and says it's an attack in sweden and he says that it's false and when it's false, false is another word for fake. he's a perpetuate or fake news even though he says he's against fake news. >> kimberly: i'm going to give states less 30 seconds here. >> his right to say, in the end republicans in power will be judged by their results in unconfident they are determined to get those results in so they can have a good record for the elections coming up at 2018 and coming up at 2020. in the meantime, the democrats only have words. if the words they use are over-the-top hysterical statements, that is not good to serve them well and try to win elections in the years ahead. a >> kimberly: it sounds like the left needs their own exit, thank you so much. coming up, it's been a hard day for the fox news family, stay with us your brand-new car.

i'm so sexy, you can't keep your hands off me. do it again. there you go... i can do whatever you want. except keep your eyes on the road. now would be a good time to have new car replacement. so get allstate and be better protected from mayhem, like me. it's good to be in good hands.

>> kimberly: welcome back to "hannity," the fox news family is mourning tonight, fox news radio broadcaster, author, and longtime cohost of hannity and colmes, alan colmes has passed away at 66. in a moment, will speak with

sean hannity. but first, we'll take a look back and celebrate the life and career of our cherished colleague and a friend. ♪ >> welcome back to hannity and colmes, is that asking too much? >> two, three. duncan sharon stop filibusterin. that you have to do compromises and horsetrading that you never envisioned in order to maintain your integrity at the same time. it >> keep in mind i was in the state legislature for seven years. i wasn't naive when the you got to washington. >> people say we strong a security? rate vice president. >> i'm just a humble host here. >> your humble?

>> do have to get alan for christmas? >> absolutely. >> he got everything he wanted here. >> to be fair and balanced. those of the complete works of karl marx included in the coming manifesto. >> will give you the other gift when we get back. >> i think i feel very blessed, junk asic is right. you're a class act, alan colmes. i'm not reading at grade you're a good person. you're a personal friend. >> he's going to kill you with conservatism bread >> i'm going to miss you. spend joining us now on the phone is sean hannity, sean, so many incredible memories and moments uncertainly the dynamic duo, that team of hannity and colmes is one of the greatest teams in all of television,

people billy loved watching the two of you together, you had such a wonderful relationship, i was lucky to be able to witness it firsthand, being part of your show and seeing the two of you work together to cover american history and politics like nobody ever did. your thoughts here and i know you must be missing and remembering your friends. >> it brings back so many fine memories, i want to thank all o, neil cavuto and shepard smith, and bill hemmer and everybody at fox. the one thing that stands out as i listen to that again, it just brings back all the memories of all the fun. when we started out, neither one of us had that a lot of experience, i'm now in my 21st year so i guess i'm experienced now. we were just hoping to try to survive and to do that, we developed a friendship.

our political differences were real, he was as liberal as you could get. he believed passionately. people remember us for that back and forth in the debate and sometimes it would be contentious. we had a common goal, we wanted to this show to succeed and it did. we ended up beating larry king who was just an icon in cable news at that time. and we never looked back. it was the number one children's time slot and the number to show on cable news for a long time. i was very, very blessed. we always would say to each other, we would say how lucky we were that fox took a chance and roger ailes took a chance on us and put us on the air. and also gave us the time to grow. the one thing you saw and heard their was allen's great sense of humor. what was really hard about debating him he was a former stand-up comic, he was a great radio guy, he loved radio, loved

its audience, love the microphone, he had a sense of timing that was impeccable. i was thinking, i just made the greatest point ever, he corrected joke and offered to the ether or whatever grade point i thought i made. i want to say one other thing. everybody in the building loved him. the one thing about him is he was one of the most liked people at fox news ever. there's a lot of infighting sometimes in cable news, not with alan. he was loved by everybody. he had a decency that transcended all politics. in this day and age, that's kind of a refreshing thing to hear. my thoughts and prayers tonight are with his wife jocelyn, of course his sister-in-law, our friend monica crowley, his whole family, rory, his manager who was with him his entire career.

they are all devastated, they are as heartbroken as we are. my prayers are with all of them tonight. he was a friend, one other thing. i won't go into the details of what he faced. we had offices next to each other, we talked all the time, he came and they told him the story about his illness, he was very optimistic. my only fear about this even though he was facing a daunting, a daunting challenge his only fear was i don't want my wife to worry about me. i don't want her to suffer, i don't want her to go through all of this. it just speaks volumes of about a guy that had that kind of love and compassion he always put other people first. it was very honored to have him as a partner through all these years, we had so much fun. we worked so hard together and we had a common goal delivered for our audience every night,

the best show we could. you can't replace him. he's going to be missed sorely and dearly, our hearts are broken tonight. >> kimberly: i'll tell you what, for all of our colleagues here at fox news channel, sean hannity reported and paid a beautiful tribute for his dear friend and his colleague and cohost, we posted it on our facebook page. you can check it out on "hannity" as well. lovely, sean, you are wonderful to him and i know how much he appreciated working with him together, it was beautiful to see the on their chemistry and how interesting and the debates back and forth, it was educational, informative and exhilarating at times. >> he loved the show on fox news, he loved radio, all the time he had on the air. he loves doing the show. and i've got to say, all of our colleagues have been absolutely amazing today. the tribute you did,
