of the people who dominate our popular culture. >> tucker: the worst people in the world pretending to the best. thank you very much. we will be back tomorrow night. sean hannity is right now. >> sean: thanks. happy new year. buckle up. we have a lot to cover tonight downding an absolute beat of hollywood by ricky.in i just heard tucker. we have a lot more to get into. colin kaepernick back in the news and a lot of trouble for joe 330. first just 302 days away from the presidential election where you get the final say. you will decide the future of this great country of ours. we promise the best election coverage on television. we will have breaking reports on the social democrats and then liberal instanity and the complicit media mob.l

the dnc tv. we will vet on this program the 2020 democrats. make no mistake. our great american way of life, our prosperity and security and our liberties and freedoms and our values. it's all at stake and in play in 302 days. we will also launch tomorrow morning on hannitty.com everything you need to know. it's clear. democrats care more about bashing this president than anything else. for example, the strike that took out iranians terrorists leader soleimani was a huge success.tr one of the worst terrorists isis dead. the mob and the media and the democratic party they seem distraught.

today nancy pelosi announced a resolution to tell the commander in chief what he can do and cannot do in iran. pelosi knows nothing about the u.s. constitution and separations of powers. he is the elected commander in chief and not her. in this non-binding resolution is nothing more than the political hit job to undermine the president and make us less safe as a country. it gives iran another talking point. the democrats even say. now we are getting lectures from the benghazi democrats, the iranian appeasers. how did that biden and obama bribe work out for any of us? it was a disaster. now the president is cleaning up their created mess.

even obama's dhs secretary believes president trump used his full constitutional authority to take this action and we are better off. take a look. >> if you believe everything that our government is saying about general soleimani, he was a lawful military objective. the president under his constitutional authority as commander-in-chief has legal authority to take him out without a congressional authorization. >> sean: the hypocrisy is palpable. and president obama he himself slaunched 2,800 strikes and no congressional approval. the speaker had no problem with any of that. when president trump takes out the leading terrorist and american soldier killer outside of baghdad. she wants answers. this is a repulsive never ending double standards.

more selective moral outrage. this time it impacts our safety and security at home and our fellow american side abroad. let me educate nancy pelosi and all of the other far left, rage filled idiots in the media mob and elsewhere. we have a new segment starting tonight called how to deal with the world's most evil terrorists for dummies. first and foremost, you can't live in fear. second, you can't bribe your sworn enemies into liking you. that's called appeasement. appeasement when you try it results in further aggression. you are literally teaching our enemies how to blackmail you. iranian aggression mustem be checked or it will get worse. it got worse and worse and worse. they must know their hostile actions have consequences. they don't get to shoot at our drones get to take oil tankers.

they don't get to disrupt the world's oil supply by hitting the saudis so they can make more money. they don't get to kill our fellow americans in iraq or plot the murder of american state department employees abroad. they don't get to orchestrate attacks on our embassy and our u.s. family. they don't get to fund terrorism worldwide. they can't fight proxy wars across the globe and try to take over the entire region and not expect reprisals. the iranians have been fighting against us since 1979. that's a fact. 150-billion dollars did nothing to change that.

tonight the hostile regime in iran is reeling. soleimani will never see the light of day. good riddance. his daughter proclaiming that american soldiers will be murdered all over world and iran's government vowing to take revenge. one official offered a bounty for president trump's head. that would be called sabre rattling. for the iranians this is an average day. they hate america and israel. they threatened to wipe israel off the map and want to take america off the map too. they are evil but that doesn't mean they are stupid. they know that there is a new sheriff in town. they know tonight the days of $150-million dollars dropped on their tarmac are over.

they better know that if any retribution occurs, it the result in serious and lethal consequences. i warned them this would happen a couple of months ago. they will play the deadliest of prices. they are now in a position of weakness and we control the single most powerful advance, sophisticated military in the world with the greatest intelligence agencies. i kept saying the 99%. we saw this in action.ay president trump has identified at least 52 iranian targets that the u.s. will take out if needed.st no, we can't and we won't be going with boots on the ground in iran. that's not going to happen. frankly, it's not necessary. instead the president has been clear: we will take out the ability to continue this reckless behavior,

this sabre rattling and these attempts to bribe other countries or blackmail other countries. they are not going to be able to disrupt the lifeblood of the world's economy, oil, as much as they have been trying. i do not support boots on the ground. after vietnam and iraq and the swamp creatures to send our brave men and women door-to-door and say never mind. those days must forever be over. this is what i call the next generation of weaponry. offensive and defensive. much of which is already at our disposal. it will be utilized to strike iran's dictatorship where it hurts them the most. they have three major oil refineries and we know where they are. they have nuclear facilities and we know where they are. we know iran's terrorists network.le maybe the president and the

mullahs can hang out in a major refinery. the united states military has the power to wreak total complete havoc to had hostile regime in iran. they can do it from an air-conditioned room in the united states and they can do so in a matter of minutes. that's a fact.t. the days of bribing our enemies and dictators and evil doers around the world are over. there will be no cash left onoe the tarmac. iran's dictorship either complies or will feel pain like never before. if you knock out those three refineries their economy will completely collapse. despite the whining from the democrats and the stupid

commentators on tv media mob, the military experts agree the president's strategy is affective. general said this is a bigger deal than killing bin laden. >> the president appears to have decided that it was necessary to shore up deterrents to show we would not accept this. >> the administration understands there is a serious risk of consequences here. they understand it's unlikely the iranian regime will come to the negotiating table. >> the president showed restraint and put a redline outi there. he said if you kill americans ig will respond.

when that took place, thisil president showed more patience. i never thought giving i never thought giving $150-billion dollars in cash would buy good will. like the 9-11 commission report. they were at war with us. the iranians have been at war and threatening america and israel and the region since 1979. >> yes, sean, happy new year. it was a failed?-- that president obama had. he was a bad guy, soleimani was a terrible guy. killed a lot of soldiers. i am glad he is dead. what i can't understand is why

the liberals are celebrating soleimani. they can't accept that this president has a solid strategy for iran. it's been clearly articulated. we continue to apply maximum pressure so they quit exporting terrorism throughout the region and the world frankly and stop building nukes. s they can be a nuclear country like japan but without nuclear weapons. quit oppression our people and we continue to defend our u.s. vital interests in the region. the president has been clear about his goals. >> sean: and ben, the other countries if you told me 5 years ago that the israeli and the united states and the jordanians and egyptians would be aligned and shared intelligence, i would not have believed.

the answer why the democrats are the way they are, there is nothing donald trump can ever do they would give him credit for. if he cured cancer they would impeach him for that. how do you see the iranians reacting to this, congressman? >> well, i think they will continue to try to escalate. everyone says what if the iranians respond. we responded to their violent escalation. it start off with a drone and oil tankers and it became rocketing our bases and attacking our embassy. to say we should not disrupt that is absurd. i can't believe democrats are making that argument. not too long ago they decried donald trump for pulling out of syria. they don't want us protecting our own americans in iraq. they are not principled.an

they are not coming at this with principles. they are coming at this politically minded to be against donald trump no matter what.g iranians will continue to escalate. our defenses have to be up and we have to maintain a stiff backbone and be ready to respond. >> sean: militarily do you agree with me if their big three refineries are hit, general, the impact -- there has already been a huge impact based on the president's sanctions economically. if those refineries are hit, i believe that would take down their economy. am i overstating that? >> i don't think you are, sean. this president and administration is the best i have ever seen at synchronizing the element of national power which include diplomatic information, military and economic. you heard the congressman talk about the restraint the

president demonstrated. if the president was leveraging economic power, he was leveraging information power. it was only when they crossed the redline, they killed an american citizen and wounded others, did the president react and stop the attack on our embassy. the left wants another benghazi. that's what they were driving for. they are upset they didn't get it. that's a terrible thing to see. the left -- it used to be politics stopped at the shore. now the politics is in their kool-aid and they drink it. the left can't be trusted with national security anymore. >> sean: wow, what a powerful statement. they play politics with it.. congressman crenshaw, you fought for your country. i will never support boots on the ground.

these guys start wars and say never mind. 58,000 in vietnam.rt we can't have our troops going door-to-door anymore. we can use the powerful superior weaponry. do you agree with me? that's the new paradigm? >> yes, absolutely. i think it's important to point something out. there is a straw man argument made by the left.mp no war with iran. that's not what trump is saying. that's not what any of us are saying at all. there is a huge difference between responding necessarily and full on ground war. they seem to want you to think the options are do nothing or full on war on the ground.ro that's not the case. there is a lot in between. any sober minded person knows

this. i think they continue too, but they are being dishonest and spinning up the public.to it's all for politics.t it's sad to see. we should be united in this. >> sean: well said both of you. it's obvious president trump inherited a geo-political disaster from the obama and biden administration. the failed iranian nuclear deal emboldened iran and supplied them with new funding. arjoe biden is blaming trump saying the president has no authority to strike iran.mi the problem with joe in '96 senator biden was singing a different tune and we have the tape. >> there is a suggestion iran may be in involved in the bombing of u.s. baraks in tehran. do you know anything about this? if we find another country

directly involved, what should we do? >> well, i don't know. but the fact is it looks like -- >> take whatever actions deemed appropriate. >> sean: here is reaction former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley. good to see you. happy new year. >> happy new year. >> sean: we are friends. i watched this and i am thinking, wow, do they want to bribe them again? the clintons bribed kim jong-un and that didn't work out. there was never any inspectionhe associated with that 10 year deal that expired for $150-million dollars. the iranians have been at war with the world. am i wrong?

>> you have to look at the factr that the general provisions of the iran deal were going to end in october. we are going towards a time where we have to bring them to the negotiation table any way. what the president did left the iranian regime flat footed. they didn't see this coming. they thought they could continue to do their multiple strikes. when it got to the lives of americans, the president will never allow that to happen. it happened with a contractor. the president put a stop to it. you could see the ayatollah crying today because that was his number 1 strategist. that was the number 1 guy thatte has literally told all of these countries who to kill and how to kill. that guy is now gone. iran has to regroup and figure

out: now what? make no mistake, they are shaking in their boots. the president showed great resolve. i think it was a long time coming. if you look back 2 years ago, i gave a speech at the u.n. on soleimani and talked about the threats. the president has had restraint all of this time since we gave that speech. i will tell you, we said then ht was not by the entire security council, he was banned from leaving iran. what he was doing in iraq? >> sean: good question. i always liked general petreus. he said soleimani was the architect, commander of the iranian effort to control the shi'ite stretching from iran toi

iraq through syria and southern lebanon. that's the reason why the jordanians and egyptians and saudis are working with the israelis which i don't think anyone saw coming. >> you don't see anyone standing up for iran. not the gulf numbers. not hearing china or russia. the only ones mourning the loss of soleimani are our democratic leadership and democratic presidential candidates. no one else in the world. they saw the destruction and the lives lost based from his hands. >> sean: we heard he is evil and a murderer and killed americans. it's the number 1 state sponsor of terror. but we don't want to make him mad. that's what it sounds like to me. >> you tell that to the 608 american families who lost a

loved one. tell that to the military members who lost a limb. this was something that needed to be done and should be celebrated. i will tell you right now, partisan politics should stop when it comes to foreign policy. this is about america united. we need to be completely behind the president. every one of those countries are watching our news media. this is a moment of strength for the united states. it's a moment of strength for president trump. f >> sean: i know the mullas need to go to the refineries. all right. nikki haley. directly ahead. the big news on the impeachment front. republicans are fighting back and hard standing with the president. they better do that. i will explain straight ahead. ♪

election. they never wanted him in office. they wanted to get him out. now when it's time to put up or shut up and put their evidence forward they are afraid to do it because they don't have any evidence. it's a joke and a fraud. >> sean: they had all of their witnesses. the house manager is supposed to present their case before the senate based what they came up. they are talking about no we want to add other witnesses they didn't call or fight to get. to me, they are asking now the senate to do the job they should have done. at the end of the day. when you eliminate opinionnd witnesses, you only have one fact witness. that was ambassador sonland. what did the president? nothing. i want no quid pro quo. it's a slam dunk and the idea of an obstruction charge when there is a conflict between the executive and legislative branch and they seek remedy through the judiciary and the supreme court is reviewing, that's not reason

obstruction. >> no, never has it been in the past. they have no case and they know it. they are afraid to proceed to a trial. the senate is ready to have a trial. the president deserves to have a trial. the american people deserve to have a trial to put this to rest. and speaker pelosi wants to go on for who knows how long? >> sean: they want to live in a constant state of impeaching the president. where is mitt romney? where is murkowski and alexander and susan collins? >> i can't speak for anybody but myself. when i introduced my resolution, we got 10 co-sponsors in the senate.

they have the sole power to control their destiny.et i go back to what nancy pelosi said. they rushed this through. they didn't allow matt gates to investigate and have a minority day of hearings. they didn't let him and jim jordan do their job. they produce a sub-par work product. and nancy pelosi is challenged why it was rushed through. she said we have been working on this for 2.5 years. that gives more insight to her motivation. it was always about impeaching the president. >> sean: you pointed this out every day, fighting for the ride for the fairness that newt gingrich offered bill clinton and his attorneys when he was speaker of the house. >> it's crazy to think that nancy pelosi impeached the president for obstructing the

house when she is obstructing the house of the united states senate. how democrats got addicted to impeachment. now they can't shake the craving. they are even talking about getting another fix before the election. one of my colleagues on the democratic said they may have additional articles of impeachment. m 2020 is a new year, it brought no new agenda for democrats. the trump economy is roaring and the american people are doing better. they are using impeachment to distract the people. they need that distraction. we don't. which is i am so glad you laid out a trump doctrine in iran that doesn't require boots on the ground. kill the terrorists and bring our troops home. >> sean: 100%. we have the military capability of to do it. coming up disturbing allegations about zero experience hunter biden and sleepy joe not getting
