two accept it as normal or compassionate is it not. it's a big mistake. hope it changes. we are out of time until tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. there. is a lot going on. in the meantime have a wonderful evening with the ones you love. sean hannity follows this hour. we will see you tomorrow. >> welcome to hannity granite we have a new year, new show. tonight we are going to mix it up. we need your help. it's time for you to grade me, yours true. >> tell me what you like about the show, what you don't liking about the show. what i did right. what i did wrong. don't hold back. now is your time to sound off. live on this show. call the radio team tomorrow between 3-6:00 eastern.

we will hear from you live at the end of each show starting tonight. also tonight the "hannity it hot seat" is back. stay tuned i will go one-on-one with one lucky liberal. and stephen a. smith is going to join us with more on the injury to jamar hamilton. he and his family in our nation's prayers tonight. we begin this fox new year with a fox news alert. it's day one of the congress, how republicans are on the verge of becoming a total clown show if not careful. despite the cheering of the democrats and the media, it's not a dyer situation yet. here where we are. at this hour a contentious battle for speaker is under way. after falling short of the 2718 votes needed kevin mccarthy is

in the fight of his career way small group of law makers standing in the way. many are pushing for jim jordan to be the speaker of the house. jim jordan is already supporting mckargt.y. >> from what purpose does the gentleman from ohio ask for recognition. >> i rise to show support for -- >> the differences we have between joyce and jordan or bigs and bacon they pail in comparison to the difference between us and the left which unfortunately controls the other party. i think sketch mccarty is the right guy to lead us. i do or i wouldn't stand up here giving this speech. >> jim jordan said he doesn't want to be the specker of the house and wouldn't accept it even if it was drafted. he voted to make mccarthy speaker today with others, many

others. now tonight i'm putting aside my frustration but for those who are still worried about supporting mccarthy i want you to consider this tonight. sometimes you have to think through politics. mccarthy has publicly laid out his commitment to american plan. that is the america first mag a agenda i know many of you like. second mccarthy vowed to investigate the biden family financial deals. a investigation into president joe biden not just hunter. they will investigate much more including the politicized fbi and weaponized department of justice. they will deal with wide open boders to the south. he has publicly committed to blocking biden's socialist agenda using every means of his disposal to reassure those law

makers worry about his commitment this. is something worth paying attention to that few are talking about. mccarthy has concede today very low threshold what is calderon a motion to vacate. only five republican law makers can toers a vote at anytime to remove mccarthy from the speakership. many opposing him today asked for that very thing. then the bar was raised again and again and again. the bar keeps shifting this. is a powerful insurance policy. if kevin doesn't keep promises a level of accountability that nancy pelosi didn't agree to in her latest stint as speaker. all of these interests i ask for the hold out overs and over again. what are you looking for? what would better serve your constituents at home? i have asked many members for weeks about this. i rarely got an answer. i mostly got radio silence. a lot of crickets.

it's time to get serious with a small majority in the house. it's critically important for americans to come to get i remember as an important check and balance to the biden a administration and the socialistic party. what would ronald reagan say? what would ronald reagan do? he famously told his staff, the person who agrees with you 7807% of the time is a friend and ally, not a 207% straightedder. republicans would be wise to heed that advice. 178 republicans are determined at this point to block mccarthy. committee assignments are delayed. investigations are stalled. now this is not a big deal as of today. if we lose a day or two. if this fight goes on and on for day after day, week after week and the republican agenda stalls out forget about holding biden

accountable for pretty much anything. the country will be angry and frustrated and feel be drayed. you can forget about exposing the border, the bias and corruption. is the fbi politicized? is the doj being weaponized? forget about holding dr. fauci's feet to the fire. i think the time has come for that. they're now reporting to vote for democrat hakim jeffrey it's they don't get their way. needless to say that would be a massive be trail to every person in the country voting for a a republican as one party democratic rule would continue. at the end of the day the american people voted for governance, they voted for oversight, they voted for checks, they voted for balances. they didn't vote for republicans to go to dc and bicker and

grandstand. with the right to vacate and motion to vacate available to them there is a way to hold kevin mccarthy accountable if he doesn't hold his promises. ultimately i think republicans will come together and work will continue in the near future. hopefully sooner than later. with the latest our senior core spendence chaired promise and he has the hitchhikers guide to the mess we saw today and tomorrow. >> good evening, sean. mccarthy is 07-37 on each vote to become speaker. mccarthy is beginning to lose support. donald from florida dropped his backing. he voted for jim jordan. >> it's not clear he has the votes. it's pretty clear now. it's getting tougher in that room. i think if you're asking members to vote over and over and over again to wear people down, i

think it has the opposite effect. >> the house is paralyzed for now. incoming minority leader hakim jefferies out polled mccarthy on all three votes for speak tore day. >> the republican conference apparently has been taken over by extreme maga republicans. to an extent there are reasonable individuals on the other side of the isle with no way out. >> mccarthy opponent matt gaetz said if mccarthy can't get the votes in ten years he he's not getting them over night. don bacon is calling the mccarthy opponents the taliban 20. it's about the math. here is what mccarthy must guard again. atrition of support and republicans not present to vote that. could change the math for mccarthy to win. if tkw-rbgs op members don't

vote or vote present hakim jefferies could prevail. >> a vote present is a vote for jefferies, thank you, chad. now we bring in former speaker of the house, fox news contributor, newt gingrich. think america will tolerate a day or two of in fighting, back and forth squabbling. here is what i don't understand. we know where mccarthy stands in terms of investigations. he's investigating the fbi, doj, origins of covid, with draw of afghanistan, and joe biden himself and the money that he and his family made. on the commitments to america he has a very specific agenda. then you have the motion to vacate he has agreed to with only five members needed to get it started. that seems like a insurance policy. why such resistence? >> you know i can't explain it.

i understand that you could have one, two, three people that are crazy. the fact that you have nineteen people vote three times and donald joined he didn't have the votes yet. even then that means you have 207 people voting against not voting against mccarthy. they're voting against the house republican conference. the conference was 10-1 in favor of mccarthy on the floor. he got 857% of the vote. between he and andy gibbs in the conference itself as to who should be the speaker. these people are taking on their shoulders. setting a standard that any five members of the conference could go out and destroy everything. lincoln and his first inaugural warned the problem of secession is once you establish the principle than everybody can

secede from everybody. these five people need to take a deep breath tonight and ask themselves do they want to send the signal that every five people in the conference can screw up everything for whatever reason. believe me i know from personnel conversation that's last night three of them went in and is presented kevin mccarthy with 30 sph-l different demands. most involving personnel advancement. they're not talk ing about ideology or principles. they talk about who gets which committee who gets to be chairman. things that are a clear effort to blackmail the rest of the conference. think the rest of the conference understands this is a core decision. do the 20027 win or the 220 win? in a free society as you can't give into terrorists and hostage takers. you can't allow them to take the

conference hostage and win. i hope that in a conference tomorrow morning after people have a good night sleep and have a chance to talk, i hope they can find some key policy. not patronage, but a key policy position to bring back enough of the members to get this over with on the first ballot tomorrow. i'm personally not all that shaken. we had nine ballots to pick a speaker in 179237. we had 1373 to pick a speaker in 1855. this isn't unprecedented. even in the case of p*es pelosie had to negotiate people. currently this isn't a disaster. >> if these people don't take seriously their responsibility to colleagues. not to kevin but colleagues in the conference then i think it could grow into a disaster. >> and kevin has a lot of people

he represents here. you have 203 votes earlier today. he needs 218. now the question s you're right. what exactly are they holding out for? i have asked people, talked to members. those who are, that were telling me they would oppose kevin, i said what did you want. why not meet with him, make a list? i can't tell you how often i heard nothing back from them. or if i heard one thing and then kevin said yes to it, like for example in the case of a motion to vacate. then the bar got higher. then the bar shifted. then the bar changed. at what point does the american people and republicans around the country say they have had enough with this. someone said to me this is a great exer ice of a democratic/republican action. americans will be inspired by it i said i beg to differ. i think they will get sick and

tired of this pretty of the. >> i think a number of these so calderon insurgence, whatever you call them, they're actually putting their reelections at risk right now. people will look up and say how can you hold the entire party hostage. how can you hold the house hostage. who do you think are you to have this kind of authority. i talked with kevin early on and said just be aware, excuse me, last night they will come in with a whole new set. they came in last night with 30 additional demands. 307. thirty.that says i will vote noi want to tease and you play with you. think it's insulting to every member of the conference that stayed with kevin. a 203-207 choice. 2073 is a bigger number.

i'm not sure twenty understand that yet maybe tomorrow they will. >> thank you, mr. speaker, for being with us. the hannity it hot seat. i know the leftists love the fighting on capitol hill. they may not want to cast stones from a glass house. one thing we can say for certain is the democratic party is a disaster filled to the brim with nothing but liars. bidens pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class. here are five taxes that went into effect in january. a multi billion dollar tax for those who power their homes with natural gas. a 12 billion-dollar tax on crude oil. a billion dollar tax on coal. a 71 billion-dollar tax on your 401k and retirement funds that had the worst years since 2008 last year and a corporate tax like that corporations won't pay

but they will pass it to you. don't worry good news beyond the grave in new york where democratic governor cathy hokel has made it legal to compost dead bodies at your house. i didn't make that up. skwr*ebgs jessica is haor to respond. first, gloat if you feel like it you're probably happy -- >> okay, great. >> what is that? >> i said, okay. great. i will take gloat time. >> you thought today was great, you loved it. >> it was a good day for democrats for sure. i listened to your monologue. it was balanced. today was a bit of an embarrass hadn't. hopefully they get it together. hopefully the 207 pizzas were delivered and they're working on a plan. the fact that kevin mcer cathy y

is losing votes is disheartening. >> if you gloat about that let me ask you about this. 2022 was the worst year for the stock market since 2008. the cbo has found that biden's inflation cost the american household ten thousand dollars. joe biden promised he wouldn't raise taxes on those making under $400,000 a year, a couple. he raised taxes on natural gas, on crude oil, on coal, on peoples iras and pensions and corporate income tax that's means that awful that money will be paid for by those who make less than $400,000 a year. are you happy with joe's record and perform as in two years. isn't ten thousand dollars in biden inflation tax high? shouldn't he of kept a promise not to tax people making under four hundred thousand dollars a year?

>> well, there was a lot in there. i will start with what we can in gree on. inflation is a huge problem and gas price spikes. it was a huge concern for every day americans. the economy was the number one issue for the elections. for republicans. not so for democrats. republicans didn't put up a viable alternative. they didn't have p policies for americans -- >> jessica, hold on who gets hurt the most with inflation. the poor, middle class, fixed income? when you tax oil, when you tax gas, when you tax coal, when you tax corporations, when you tax people who had the worst year in the stock market since 2008, those are all taxes joe biden and the democratic soerplists

put in place. all of those taxes are impacting the very people that your fellow democratic socialists say they have the most compassion for. the poor, the middle class people on fixed incomes? the bottom line is joe biden lied to us. he went back on his promise. it was a big deal when george herbert walker said no taxes and then went back on his pledge. how come joe biden. you're a liberal democrat and an honest person, i have known you for years. why can't you say joe biden broke his promise hurting people, the poor, middle class and fixed income. >> i don't think that's really what happened here. first i don't identify as a democratic socialist and neither does joe biden. >> hold on, you admit he raised the taxes. >> no, hold on. there were a number of incentives built into being

greener about your life. moving to electric cars, solar panels. >> he has a crude oil tax and a coal tax. so, people that heat their homes and cool their homes they're all paying a lot more. that is paid for by every american regardless of income. >> well -- >> right. >> okay. >> check mate you win. >> no. >> he shouldn't of done it. >> no. no i don't think . so think the transition was hurried along perhaps too quickly. that we do have to. this is something we're in agreement on for a global level. the environment is in danger. we have to do what we can to lower emissions. >> even if that means breaking his pledge. >> i don't think that's the right, i don't think that's the right terminology for this. >> so, he said he wouldn't raise

taxes on people making less than four hundred thousand. now he has raised taxes five different ways and more this. is the short list. that's okay with you. >> no it's not okay for people struggling to get by to have taxes raised. that's not what happened here. >> so joe biden people -- >> it's not, corporations are paying the lowest rate. >> can you acknowledge he broke his word. >> i'm in, the segment is over. i real, i don't see it that way. i think he offset a number of these plans by making sure that those -- >> offset a tax increase. did he give us a tax cut somewhere? where decut tabgszs and off set it. >> i -- honestly, sean. i need to look at the plans again. we were to talk about composting yourself. now we're back to tax plans. >> by the way can you at least

acknowledge that cathy hogel allowing the composting of dead human remains is kind of weird? >> i won't be jumping at the chance to do it think if people want to be returned to the earth, maybe that's a nice, you know final voyage. you can turn -- >> put grandma, throw alfalfa and hay on her. put grandma. then plant flowers and use it as vert lieser for our crops next year. dead bodies, human bodies. alright. great to see you, jessica. appreciate it. >> the doj stone walling key hunter biden documents. we have a hannityity investigation. the latest reason republicans need to unify and get a speaker that. will hopefully happen tomorrow. we will check in with the whistle blower suing the doj.

and the investigation into hunter biden and stephen a. smith discusses the terrifying situation in the nfl with da mar ham linn in critical condition tonight.

>> tonight a han it investigation developing tonight. a lawyer specializing. a request says the biden doj is stonewalling hundreds of document access for gifts related by hunter biden and joe's brother jim biden from contacts in russia, china and the ukraine. they say they initially had to

have the responsive documents. now he this can't confirm they even exist. here with more is kevin evans. kevin, thank you for being with us. they said they exist. now they're backing off the claim. >> that's exactly what th*e have said and done, sean. >> what is the next step. if they said they have them i believe they did but don't want you to get them. that's what it sounds like to me. >> the interesting thing about this is shortly after i filed suit in march of 2021. the suit was filed in november of 207206789 i got 106 pages of documents, public documents. letters, a senate report. i got nothing then until september after pushing. what i got was a letter from the office of information policy that said they had a handful of documents that may be responsive. they had to run it up the flag

poll so to speak to undefined offices for an analysis. then in may of last year we had a status conference in court where the doj lawyer repeated what he told me beforehand. that was the government has the doj has 400 pages of potentially responsive documents to review and determine what to do with. it was then in july of last year. it was calderon a glomar response. they won't admit or deny the documents, the pages they said existed, exist. >> okay, kevin evans, keep us in the loop on this. we will continue to follow this story. if we get a hold of them they maybe very revealing. which is why i think they're denying them. we will find out. thank you, kevin. as i laid out in the opening monologue tonight this is one of the reasons it's important for republicans to get their act

together and elect a house speaker. these investigations can not happen as longs a the in- fighting continues. the longer this waits. here with more for incoming chairman of the house oversight committee. this is where the heart is of the investigation. you said this is a investigation into the president joe biden. joe widen assured the american people not one time did he have a conversation with his son hubter about his foreign business dealings. then photographs emerge with joe, hunter, and foreign business partners. then there were a number of meetings we have identified taking place as well. explain why this is about joe biden. >> these their is about joe biden. these are government e-mails showing proof that joe biden knew about gifts his son and brother received from ad sr-r

saeur he's. we're investigating the biden family influence pedaling this. is the family business. they talk about hunter biden. jim biden was as involved as hunter. he wasn't dumb enough to leave a lap top laying around. this has the potential to be one of the biggest cover ups in the country. you look at water gate, iran, watergate, clinton scandals. the media was there all the time hound yoing. what we have here with the biden cover up is the mainstream media is turning a blind eye. i strongly support what mr. evans is doing with the foyer request. think that's evidence to determine whether or not joe bide sen compromising. we know he has lied about his family business schemes. we need to know if this

administration is in fact compromised because of the shady business dealings. >> is the evidence overwhelming that joe biden lied to the country about having conversations with his son about foreign business dealings. we have evidence of that. how many meetings do you think he have chronicled that took place with stkwroe, hunter, and a foreign business partner. >> around a dozen that we know of. remember they have rid all of the information. we have requested information for nearly two years. they sent out a later late last week saying they wouldn't guy with our requests and we have to start over. luckily people like mr. evans doing a foyer request of the administration and the administration will be forced at some point, hopefully by the court to turn over the information that every american desdeserves the right to know. >> in december 2019 the fbi had

the lap top of hunter biden. plenty eve time to augustn't kate it they have done nothing with it we know the fbi had a team of about seven people meeting weekly with big tech companies warning them about disinformation. the head of t twitter at the ti, mr. roth, he said they mentioned hunter biden in a case that took place in missouri under oath he might be one of the people mentioned in the "misinformation." the news comes out from the new york post. story buried by big tech. on that lap top hunter implicates his father. dad, pops is taking half my income. i have to pay for his home repairs, ten percent for the big guy. do you think banking records will show that joe benefited ? >> that is what we want to look

at. if hunter told the truth. we believe he was. he was paying for a lot of things for joe bind. not just one or two things. many things. recurring expenses. we have been communicating with whistle blowers in the hunter biden and jim biden orbit. we know precisely what to look for. we're hopeful the banks will work with us to turn over the information to prove once and for all joe biden was a central part of the biden family influence pedaling. >> would be nice to get you sworn in for the investigation to get rolling. let's hope that happens. thank you, congressman. >> thank you. >> straight ahead what was a terrifying incident in last night monday night football. as bill's safety da mar hamlin collapsed. stephen a. smith, the one and only, joins us with that and much more straight ahead.

>> and now tonight the nfl family, the sports world, by the way everybody between continues to pray for the recovery of buffalo bills safety damar hamlin suffering a cardiac a rift in the bills bengals game in cincinnati last night. he's 24 years old. in intubated. his family released a statement early today expressing sincere gratitude for the support. we pray for the entire hamlin family. with us, his podcast, august are

of "straight shooter" hitting book shelves january 17. our friend, one and onliy stephen a. smith. we have had a conversation about concussion protocols especially with tua. >> yes. >> you and i have had that discussion. i watched this hit as you did over and over again, it was a legal hit, it just seems like a horrible didn't. what is your reaction? >> total accident. it was very very shocking. i have about a sports reporter for nearly 30 years. i have never seen anything like that. in terms of the contact. this was a guy by the name of hank gathers played at loyola mary mount collapsed on the floor. they treated him and he came in, he played and ultimately ended up collapsing and passes away. this seems similar in terms of

the actual collapse that took place. this was a football field that involved contact. higgins received the ball. he was running making a play, he leaned into hamlin's chest or whatever and hit it. the next thing you know he gets up. looked like a routine tackle. as you show he fell back down and he had cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated. we haven't seen anything like this this on a football field. >> you and i, stephen a., have had fun conversations over the years. debates on politics and sports. i say don't ruin sports with politics. more specifically colin kaepernick. here you have the most unifying event. people from all socioeconomic backgrounds and races. they come together with a common compassion a sport. a common passion a team.

they high five strangers, having the time of their life. i never wanted politics here. last night in the mist of the horrible tragedy, my prayers with him and his family, i saw coaches and players on both sides. i saw the best in athletes on the field. >> first of all it's a brotherhood. the players love each other respect each other they go through trials and tribulations putting their bodies and minds through things the afternoon citizen couldn't think about enduring. there is a kinship that comes with that. the coaches, the people associated with the teams, folks associatepugh with league hands-on seeing these guys do what they do. this are witnesses to this. it's a tra at any timer. they come together as one that. is what you saw take place last night. not just the buffalo wills medical professionals. it was that of the cincinnati bengals. >> a hundred percent. >> they all came together. to allude to your point about politics and things like that

unveiling the port. i would remind you the likelihood you had people on that field yesterday who didn't necessarily always agree with each other a hundred percent of the time. they came together anyways. that's who we are as american citizens we will do that. >> let me ask you this. when we talk about tua, thicker one of the best quarter backs in the league. i'm not adolf eupz fan. he's phenomenal. we had a disagreement. he decidepugh in con sus station with his doctors under concussion p protocols you wantd him to rest the rest of the season. yyou wanted him to sit out the season why. >> remember four days earlier by the way in cincinnati, the same field this incident took place with hamlin that's when tua had the concussion and had to be carried off the field in a ambulance. four day prior to that in miami in a game against buffalo he was

hit, head hit the turf. he got up and literally fell back down. didn't see in his right mind. considering the concussion protocols he shouldn't of played. here we are, he was out last week with issues to deal with as well. it's a saorious matter to keep our eyes on. >> looking forward to your book. who did better me or snoop dogg on your podcast. >> snoop. you were a close second. there is hopeses for you. you did w*et well. i give you props. you have a fan pwaeufplts. >> i have some people. i told them i was on with stephen a. and that created interest. my good friend, our prayers are with the hamlin family. wish them the best. you're a good man, stephen a. >> see you. >> alright. coming up the man accused of killing four idaho students in court today. we will tell what you happens as

a parent of an alleged victim speaks out. and a new segment, "the last call" it's straight ahead.

when a truck hit my car, the insurance company wasn't fair. i didn't know what my case was worth. so i called the barnes firm. i was hit by a car and needed help. i called the barnes firm,

>> alright. now the 28-year-old suspect in the murder of the four idaho college students waved extradition from pennsylvania. he will be brought to moscow, idaho, to face charges. joining us now are the parents of victim, kayleigh gonzales and their attorney. you know, steve, i look at you as a father. i look at your bride next to you, i thought this all throughout my life, there is nothing worst than losing a

child. it's take not a long time. first of all does that give you any peace of mind. do you want to know details? where are you in this grieving process? i would imagine it's something you don't get over. >> honestly i feel a little lucky knowing that we have somebody. that there is a person of interest. nothing feels worst than having nobody and nothing but doubt. seven weeks of that or close to seven weeks of that was a tremendous amount of pressure on us. you know, your children look for you to tell them what will happen and how things go. you can't, you can't control anything. you just sit back and wait and it's very hard to get over. >> kristy, your a mom this. is your precious, your beautiful daughter. will you never see her again. i can't imagine all of the pain you're going through as a mom. >> it's, it's terrible.

just as anybody could imagine. it's just like a nightmare that you just never ever wake up from. i don't, there isn't a second throughout the day i don't think about kaylee and what happened to her. it's sickening. >> steve, it took the law enforcement awhile, it looks like they got very very, they went very deep. they were very creative and looked at databases and were able to match dna from a database which think was pretty sophisticated investigating on their part. how do you feel the police have handled all of this? >> well there is a lot of pressure even for them. i think that you know, it's never fast enough for a father. your impatient and want to know everything right then and there. i feel good. i feel they have done a tremendous job. i know they have worked hard. we just had a lot of holidays.

they worked out of town. i really appreciate all the effort they gave. there were times i was tough on them. i know they're strong men and women. i know they can handle a little push back. we are where we want to be. they put us there. >> kristy, you i know for myself. i have two kids. if this happened to me. i can't put myself in your shoes. you can't understand unless you go through that. what would you like. assuming there is a guilty verdict in this case. what do you think is a just punishment? >> well, considering that this person went in there that night with the intent to kill and showed no mercy, unprovoked and killed our daughter, her best friend and their two friends. we are glad we live in the state of idaho with the death pen afplt. >> shannon, we will give you the

last word as the lawyer from the legal side. you know that the evidence they have. you know more than the public. where do you see it going? >> we're looking forward to the probable cause affidavit and seeing what they. have it won't show the entire case it will give us an idea of the evidence towards the defend ant in this case. we are hopeful it's strong. moving forward this. is just the beginning of the criminal justice system. it's a long hall from here. we're hopeful and optimistic. >> shannon, thank you. steve skpreufty, i'm so sorry. i know i speak for my entire audience when i say that. you're in our prayers this. is a heartbreaking story. i hope he gets the justice he deserves. thank you, both. >> straight ahead, a brand new segment. last call. you get to grade the show, straight ahead.
