>> tucker: with fats, another drama packed week in american life and politics comes to an end, we are pleased for our participation in it. we hope you have the best we can with the ones you love and we will see you on monday. ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> sean: welcome to hannity, happy friday night and -- i love this crowd already. broadcasting live in new york city, joined by a studio audience, as you can tell. last year during the election we were doing all these town halls before the election, i just remembered how much i love being with all of you -- i say at the

end of every night thank you for making this show possible. we are going to be doing these live shows regularly throughout the year and hopefully you can come join us one night we would love to have you. we are going to get to their questions, have you liked the last word, a new segment? it's pretty depressing when i got a c- this week, that wasn't fun. we're going to to check in with newt gingrich and also be joined by congressman chip roy, leo 2.0 terrell, matt gaetz will be here, lauren boebert will be here and they will be in the "hannity" hot seat, that's all coming up straight ahead as we continue. they were two holdouts but i start tonight the figures on capitol hill. my sources are now telling me in no -- with every detail you would want, this week along the

battle that we have had, this political battle in our nation's capital is now almost over. kevin mccarthy is now on the verge of becoming the next speaker of the house. he is now really just two votes away from securing the gavel based on the votes that i know and when the house goes back into session sometime in the next few minutes it appears that he is on a path to get the votes, take a look for yourself. >> do you think you have the votes to be elected speaker tonight? >> yes. and you will be able to flip them? >> i have the votes. >> what are your concerns? [laughter] >> sean: let me be clear about one thing do i wish this weeks negotiations have been wrapped up behind closed doors, wrapped up in a nice bow before january 3rd before this week? i wish that i bet all of you wish that as well, right? am i angry at the group of

republican lawmakers from the freedom caucus that i've always supported that fought for assurances that we were not going to get another john boehner another weak leader as speaker? i'm glad we're not would have that as well. kevin mccarthy is not john boehner he already signed his name to the commitments of america with a long list of america first promises and policies. we have gone through all of that in great detail. he also agreed to a one-vote threshold for a motion to vacate and that means anyone republican can now force a vote sort of like a no-confidence vote to oust the speaker of the house if he doesn't live up to the promises he made to his fellow colleagues and either the american people. if he turns into john bain your junior, one member can force a vote and we can force them from office. i don't think that's what happen i think we are all united in the agenda that most conservatives

will like. mccarthy also agreed to add freedom caucus members to the all important rules committee he agreed to hold individual bolts on each of the 12 appropriations bills and exclude earmarks from any bills. he agreed to hold the vote on term limits for members of congress and a vote on very specific legislation surrounding border security, that is necessary and a vote on a balanced budget amendment along with a 72 hour notice before holding a vote on any specific piece of legislation. wouldn't it be nice if they read it before they voted on it? [applause] other assurances surrounding the debt limit have been secured including caps on discretionary spending and a ban on any bill that increases spending without greater or equal offsets. it's time for them to get to work, time for them to conduct oversight, time to hold that by the administration accountable for the first time in two years, our country needs leadership desperately.

we need the investigations to commence including probes into the biden family syndicate, don't you think it's time? we need to find out if our fbi has any political bias. we need to know if there is weaponization of the law at our department of justice. we need an investigation into anthony fauci. i would like to knew what he knew and when he knew it. what about our homeland security secretary? he says the border is secure. we have 5 million people coming in the last few years illegally and all the mayhem at the southern border. we have the botched withdrawal from afghanistan it's a much more, all of that now will be investigated the way it should be. can republicans fix our federal government overnight? they cannot but they can shine a light on its failures, all the misdeeds, they can hold people

accountable, they can hold their feet to the fire and for the first time now in two years, they can finally say no to stop joe biden -- this is the guy who doesn't know today is friday -- and his reckless agenda right in his tracks, you agree with me, right? how many people think joe biden knows today is friday? not a single person, great audience. [laughter] here with more of a lawmaker really played an important, pivotal role and we've got to give him a lot of credit. he did a lot of work behind the scenes to bridge the gap that we are watching and witnessing away, texas congressman chip roy, how are you? >> doing well, thanks for having me on. >> sean: to the extent that you feel comfortable i don't want you to reveal things that maybe you don't want us to know but to the extent possible we had this gap going on all week, i was kind of confident talking to people all week that it would eventually get done but you really did a lot of the heavy

lifting. what can you tell us about the process? >> first of all, the people who sent us to washington sent us here to actually change it. that's not just a phrase from me to you, you know i believe it. i take it very seriously. nobody in america looks at washington and doesn't see it as broken but you can't change it if you don't change the rules and you don't open this place up to do the work for the people again. we can have everything we want in the commitment to america we can talk about securing the border and cutting spending, we can talk about standing with our men and women in uniform but if we don't have the rules in place if we don't constrain the leviathan if we don't stop the big, bloated spending and the appropriators we can't do the things you guys sent us here to do. this week was all about that, we got a lot of really significant improvements opening up the rules again. i haven't been able to offer an amendment on the floor of the house and open debate since 2016. i didn't come here until 2019 -- take about that.

under these rules will be able to go down to the floor and offer an amendment to cut spending, we can have a debate about that. we have accountability for the speaker, we returned to republican bulls the thomas jefferson rules instead of the nancy pelosi rules. we are able to make sure we put in budgetary constraints and to say we to return spending 2022 levels so we can limit spending and get on the path to a 10-year balanced budgets. that was part of the agreement to make sure we are going to be on board for electing the speaker. these are important accountability tools, people are tired of words. they want us to commit to it and now we are all united to get this done. i hope we will see tonight in the next couple of hours, we get there. >> sean: we had 214 earlier today, two congressman i believe had to fly home but they're flying back tonight. we believe the real number is 216, correct? >> we think that's right and we need to get a couple more to get that to 18 and that is being worked on as we speak.

as you already reported we expect that to happen but i never take anything for granted, hopefully we will get there. >> sean: tell us behind the scenes how contentious was this, or was there general agreement? i have been making the case in terms of the agenda, everyone seems to agree i would argue that all 222 of you agree on the commitments to america. i would argue you all agree on investigations that i just mentioned, am i wrong on that? >> there is unity making sure we go after the biden administration. as part of our agreement we got what we call a church style committee, select committee on the judiciary committee under jim jordan with a kind of budget and staffing we said at least as much as a january 6th committee to go after the weaponization of government come of the fbi, the intel agencies, dhs, all of them have been labeling scott smith a domestic terrorist. we have more resources, more specificity, more power to go after this recalcitrant biden administration, that's impo

important. we can do all the hearings we want in the world but if we can't limit the spending that funds the bureaucrats and a stop buying the fbi $400 million new headquarters at mitch mcconnell just funded we can't win at the fight to. we can't win the fight for freedom if we don't stop the bureaucrats, that's what this entire fight was about. >> sean: is at the same fbi that we now know met with all the big tech companies every week prior to the 2020 election? the same fbi that had hunter biden's laptop in december 2019 trip of the same fbi that paid to twitter three and a half million dollars, is that the group of people you're talking about? >> that's the same fbi that labeled parents domestic terrorists, the same dhs that refuses to secure the border, alejandro mayorkas calling our agents saying they whipped haitian migrants, it's absurd to. here is the question, can we actually stop that with just hearings? no. you stop it by not giving them

the money to continue to do it. you've got to hold them accountable, limit their funds and hold them accountable through the power of the purse. that's what this fight was mostly about and we got there with the powerful rules committee and making sure we got conservatives represented on it and making sure we are doing the right thing for the american people through that process. >> sean: i want the entire country to know that you played a pivotal role in bringing all sides together to make this possible. maybe it happens tonight, maybe the latest on monday but you played a very big role in all of that and i think he deserves a big hand. we really appreciate your hard work -- chip roy, great to have you. now with reaction, fox news contributor my friend newt gingrich. for those of you in the audience who may not know, i was his and see the night he became speaker in 1994. pretty cool experience. you know what that means? that means i'm really old.

newt gingrich, how are you? >> if you're really old, what does that mean about me? >> sean: that's a good point, it was a special night in my life. here's some good news it looks like we are on the verge of resolving the issues. i would make the argument that we may come out of this a lot stronger and more united and it might have been painful in terms of the process but i see individual members were passionate about process issues and they were able to achieve their goals and kevin mccarthy i think is committed to all the promises he made. >> i did a newsletter today pointing out this is what freedom is all about. xi jinping, vladimir putin, kim jong un on, the wind understand this, i'm not sure nancy pelosi would understand

this because she ran a dictatorship. what you have is a process of a free people coming together -- the fact is the conservative and republican base in this country is very, very unhappy. they don't like seeing mitch mcconnell developing a biden republican wing in the senates, they don't like seeing the level of confusion and they want to make sure the one bastion of conservatism which i think kevin mccarthy will turn out to be, is fully prepared to be aggressive. a house of representatives with a narrow margin can be very powerful. pelosi had exactly the same number of votes that mccarthy has come of the fact is denny hastert at one point had a five vote margin and became the longest serving republican speaker in history. i think this is a very important night. i do think kevin is likely to become speaker tonight, getting

everybody to buy in two think it through. i'm not sure the biden administration gets this yet, this is going to be a very militant, very aggressive house and party. this be what i think every conservative and republican in the country finds out to be really good news tonight. it was painful watching vote after vote after vote the same result, deja vu all over again. the agenda to me is what matters the most. 's investigations are critical to me, also the agenda. the commitments to america, you ran on the contract with america, kevin has the commitments to america, they are about as america first as any i can think of and i think that's where the conservative movement in the country is today, do you agree with that?

>> the odds are while we're in confusion of the presidential campaign, kevin mccarthy will turn out to be the leading conservative particular in the country and obey some very interesting dynamics here. because democrats are so strong at 214, mccarthy is in a position to go to biden and say look -- you have two futures. you want to get a debt ceiling you give us a lot of concessions or you get 214 democrats to vote yes and maybe we can find you four or five republicans but we aren't carrying any water for you while you insist on being a hard left president and you insist on being totally unwilling to negotiate. mccarthy is going to have a lot of things on his side and an ability i think to face the white house and face the senate where frankly we have a very weak and unreliable and deeply divided republican party right now. i think as that unfolds we are going to find the house

republicans are the conservative base from which we launch the 2024 campaign. they are going to be the folks who both do the investigating but they also do the legis legislating. they said to the senate and the president a bunch of very strong reforms in the country hopefully if they design it right in the way that reagan would have come of the country will rally to them. when we pass things like welfare reform, the only four balanced budgets in your lifetime, the largest capital gains tax cut in history we always made sure the american people were with us and they would apply pressure both democrats and we always got a lot of democrats to vote with us and to bill clinton who wanted to get reelected -- guess what? biden is going to the border as step 1 of reelection, he's going to figure out pretty rapidly if he takes on this house republican party and refuses to do the things the country wants, he is gone.

we will have a republican president in 2024. >> sean: i think what you are saying is profound. i want to make sure everybody is clear here. i don't believe you overpromise and a deliverer. what you are saying is if the republicans stay with their commitments to the american people and they pass these bills, they will go to the senate and democrats and now will have to weigh in on whether or not they support energy independence, they supported mortar security, lower taxes, they are all going to be put on record and then america in 2024 is going to have a choice, that will be the biggest toy selection in our lifetime and i think that is where the strength is on top of the power of the subpoena. that's going to be big for the republicans, last word, sir. >> i run a project called america's new majority project which anybody can go look at and we have been taking polling data now since 2018.

84% of the american people believe parents have the right to know what's being taught to their child. 84%. there is an issue if we drive hard enough the left will go crazy, sp biden gets a choice. senator get defeated. >> sean: when we come back the hot seat returns. matt gaetz and lauren boebert, they will tell us where they stand as a relates to kevin mccarthy, will they support him and will it be tonight? or do we have to wait until monday? straight ahead as we continue. ♪ ♪ ♪ ...i'm over 45. ♪ ♪ i realize i'm no spring chicken. ♪ ♪ i know what's right for me. ♪ ♪ i've got a plan to which i'm sticking. ♪ ♪ my doc wrote me the script. ♪ ♪ box came by mail. ♪ ♪ showed up on friday. ♪ ♪ i screened with cologuard and did it my way! ♪ cologuard is a one-of-a kind way

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity" would continue with our live studio audience. it's time for the "hannity" hot seat, joined by two of the six house members, those that had been against kevin mccarthy and every vote to date. of the question tonight is will their opposition continue in the next vote which is likely in less than an hour. joining us now colorado congresswoman lauren boebert and florida congressman matt gaetz. good to see you both i have been in contact with you both this week. by the way -- can we settle something? we had a passionate debate this week. >> we did. i welcome you to get passionate like that all the time because lauren for freedom.com blew up that night. >> sean: i hope i raised a lot of money for your next campaign or help you raise money. i said to you during that debate it's interesting how people perceive things.

i said there's probably very little we disagree on and where i was frustrated was he didn't answer the question and i have a pet peeve about that. i'm never been opposed to you and i sit on the air the next day i said we were texting after the debate and i said we are friends, we just had a disagreement in terms of whether or not to the agenda items were in cement. i thought they were, did you perceive it the same way? >> i thought it was a very exhilarating debate that we had. usually i'm one of the 20 people who are posing something and you are cheering on. we were on a different site in this issue and there were others on this show like trey gowdy that said we were on there just for personal gain and holding out for that. nothing could be further from the truth. myself, matt gaetz every single one of the 20 conservatives that demanded these changes did so for the good of the country, pulls.

>> sean: where are you tonight and kevin mccarthy? >> i believe when this is all over, everyone from the speaker's office to my more moderate colleagues, even friends and allies that i've exchanged some tough words with like yourself, we will work together to deliver historic fundamental changes in d.c. we will have conservative solutions on important issues facing the american people. we will see how tonight goes, there are things we need to get locked in making sure we are able to deliver on these promises. >> sean: are you confident say by monday at the latest this will be over and kevin will be the speaker and you have assurances you need all the agenda items you campaigned on and you fought for are going to be implemented by the new congress? >> i sure hope by monday we see something. something that is promising to deliver for the american people

and i believe after months of negotiations that we have seen in a few extra days of being assembled on the house floor, republicans are going to be far more prepared to lead and more prepared to govern an ever before. >> sean: matt gaetz where are you tonight? >> this isn't about me and kevin mccarthy, it's about the american people in the american people want to know the rules of the house of representatives would never allow something like this terrible like this terrible, horrendous on this toe omnibus bill to pass ever again. that's what congressman boebert and i are working on -- i know while some of these discussions are awkward up front, sometimes there can be uncomfortable moments in the preparation but it can be necessary. i am excited and encouraged i am grateful that speaker designate mccarthy has been receptive to each and every change we have demanded, we are at the stage

where i'm running out of stuff to ask for. read the bills, have a balanced budget, have a porter plan. kevin mccarthy is agreeing to all of these things -- it's never been about him it's about draining the swamp, making this a more honest, transparent, open place, we may have a few finishing touches we may be get this result tonight, i am proud of the entire republican conference. we are able to hold this administration accountable because we have had these early moments of sorting things out to. >> sean: we had communication in december, pretty early in december and you are free to talk about anything you want and my admonition to a number of people because i saw all of this coming, i would have preferred it had happened before jan january 3rd. we ultimately seem to have gotten there -- would have been

better to go behind closed doors? >> i love you but if i would've voted for speaker mccarthy when you asked me to on monday we went had the spending caps. >> sean: that's not what i asked you. you may love me but that's not what i asked theo. >> we did very well driving a hard bargain. >> sean: what i said was -- correct me if i'm wrong -- i wanted everybody early on way before january 3rd to get in a room, lock the door, check their egos, check your phone from a fight it out behind closed doors and be ready on january 3rd. with that said, none of this is ever bothered me. if this goes on another week it would drive the american people nuts but ultimately it is the agenda to save this country -- this country is in a mess. the democrats have run this country into a ditch. the president doesn't know what day it is, look at the debt, look at energy policy. we need a united republican party to fight hard, i think we

now have that, is that a fair statement matt gaetz? >> i really think we are coalescing around that vision. i am very optimistic about where we are right now. we simply would not allow business as usual to continue and that wasn't personal towards anyone, that was a problem with washington that existed under both republicans and democrats. lauren boebert and i hear from our constituents they want this town to change in these fundamental changes if we can get the finishing touches on them they will far outlast lauren boebert and i. they will outlast kevin mccarthy and they will deliver for the american people and to stop the terrible spending bills that are pushing our country into debt and to borrow against the future of the next generation. >> sean: i think we just disagree at different points i know things have been agreed to behind closed doors and maybe it didn't filter down to the rank and file but also people didn't want an agreement, they wanted it in writing, they wanted greater commitments. i don't fault anybody for that.

at the end of the day it's about the country, it's about serving your constituents, it's about the american people and serving them. they are the people that would get hurt if you don't do your job. congressman gaetz, always great to have you. congressman boebert, thank you for having a passionate debate and we fully support you -- already i'm endorsing you for your next term so everybody knows. >> i hope people still go to lauren for freedom.com even when it's peaceful. >> sean: mother spoke in a plug in the next election. when we come back, jimmy failla, leo 2.0 terrell rel, we will hear from our audience and i will respond to stephen colbert and his repulsive attack on ronald reagan, straight-ahead to. ♪ ♪

>> sean: welcome back to our live friday audience -- now the media mob has had a big reaction, calls this week for housing bubble community including the far left, low rated late-night host stephen colbert who imagined the great ronald reagan -- we all like ronald reagan? i like ronald reagan. that ronald reagan was in in response to part of my monologue. disgusting, repulsive, not surprising, take a look. >> i don't know, something like "where am i? everything was so dark for so long, then there were these demons dancing around me chanting you should have addressed the aids crisis when you had the chance.

then i woke up all of a sudden, movies!" >> sean: all i was doing was quoting him saying somebody you agree with 80% of the time is not your enemy because you disagree on 20% and i was urging republicans to follow that admonition. by the way, that's why your ratings suck and that's why our friend greg gutfeld is kicking your ass. let's welcome fox and friends first cohost and fox & friends news person -- glad to have you come a thank you. leo 2.0 terrell where is the hat? >> i need the hat. >> sean: you flew in from l.a., where is the hat? >> sam brightman from the biden administration stole his luggage. >> i can never say no to sean hannity he says 25 years i was on the plane and i left the

head at home, i apologize. him >> sean: that is a weak excuse. >> i'm telling the truth. >> sean: our friend at fox across america, jimmy failla end. you're a comedian -- one of the things i always liked about jay leno for example or what i like about greg or you or leo is funny -- >> what about me? >> sean: you're an equal opportunity, could. i love dave chappelle, he's smart, funny, irreverent, politically incorrect. i like chris rock come i like him too. i don't get offended by humor, i laugh at humor. the problem with the cold their impression we know reagan is not in because he would be holding two tickets to the colbert show. right there in his hand, front row. >> i cannot top that. this is why the show is tanking. on comedy, jokes are trap doors,

when the trapdoor opens the audience has to not see it coming so they fall down the chute to. the reason he's doing as poorly as he is is because it's so predictable. you know where he stands on every single joke he's going to tell come of people not only know where the trap door is, they know when it's going to open. it's do with yourself and that's why he's in the position that he's in. he brings up ronald reagan, when it comes to your show most viewers think of nancy reagan and just say no. >> sean: really good, you are on your a game. let's get your take. >> i agree with jimmy, i thought his excitement over the failed speakership -- it's like you getting excited over the dewey decimal system you can't make that funny. that has one thing, the other thing is this is a positive one of the greatest things about living in america is that he is allowed to make that joke about a former president being in hell and everyone is allowed to make

fun of him for saying that. ronald reagan would come back with a very humble and funny come back as well. >> i'll tell you right now the reason why greg gutfeld is number one trend is because he will attack anyone. democrat, republican -- >> sean: he's attacked me, thanks a lot! >> that's the beauty of his show, it's entertaining and you don't know what's going to happen. on colbert it's predictable and i think the audience is forced to consume what he gives them. >> sean: i want real humor, even if it's against me, if it's funny come i'm glad, do it, say it, but they are not fun any anymore. late at night you got your news for the day you have a cocktail you want to go to bed you work all day -- you go home and then you have to listen to this liberal diatribe every night. >> this what people are missing, we are packaging this as a comedy show.

with the colbert show has become is group therapy for self hating white liberals, that's what it is. they turn on every night at 11:00 to be told they are better than the people who live in the middle of the country. they leave the theater, they go home they step over the homeless guy with no pants on, go upstairs, put their head in the bathtub and screen because they hate themselves. >> lowering taxes and breaking the power of the soviet union doesn't constitute a ticket to hell to me. >> if you're going to bring up the aids response, anthony fauci what was in charge where is his golf clubs? >> sean: i'm keeping up. i'm not a big royals person anyone into the royals at all? >> the kansas city royals. >> my team. >> sean: prince harry and meghan markle they say they want privacy. they moved to montecito, i lived in santa barbara when i was poor and i didn't have $200 in the

bank. if you live in montecito you can have all the privacy they want. they claim they want privacy, then you go on oprah and complained bitterly about your life are killed than you do a netflix series. now this guy is writing a book and he's whining and bitching and moaning about how horrible his life is becoming a millionaire i'm tired of them claim and they want privacy when they don't want privacy. >> how can you feel sorry for multimillionaires? victimization of millionaires? these are people who are having ghost writers to create a reality show about their lives. it's disingenuous, no one believes it and i'll tell you right now those are crocodile tears if you buy you to the fact that megan -- >> she wanted to silence piers morgan remember he walked off the show? she complained they had off, in great britain where literally they can silence you in the media.

the only thing i didn't like is the story that he tells about his father supposedly joking that he may not be the biological father. that was pretty adam schiff -- >> we are learning about this because the book wasn't supposed to come out yet but it leaked in spain, they released it in spain but we have all this information on the book. i think the direction his life is going is very sad and the two of them are such a lesson and contradictions. they leave the royal family because they want privacy but they signed this $100 million netflix deal and he was their platform to preach about inequity around the world. that is all typical rich people behavior but what isn't is selling your family out for money and i see this book as that. >> the bottom line is they fly in their private jets which i'm all for, i think every american should have one. >> i like the jet workout >> i'm an activist? >> i like your jet.

>> i'm all for carbon emissions i'm i believe we should get our own oil and gas at home in america. >> sean: than they lecture the rest of us about an suv or lecture us about a caravan or lecture us about flying in airplanes waiting online for 1500 hours to get past tsa, what a bunch of hypocrites. >> i agree with all of that, i would say yes to all of that. the thing about harry that i think is so laughable is the bombshell excerpt he leaked today as he made fun of them will for losing his hair. i'm like you lost your balls. sorry! if meghan markle wanted me to listen to her podcast it would be a true crime podcast about who stole harry's nuts -- that i would download. >> sean: i have lost all control of this show, this is a

different show. time for a news segment, biden's blunders of the week -- take a look. there's your president joe biden ended other protectable batch of bizarre blunders by him, by the way we should just be happy if joe can keep track of what day it is. here is a small sample this week of joe biden, take a look. ♪ ♪ >> have a seat if you have one. folks i didn't know you are back there. you've got to be standing too. happy new year. >> i'm delighted to see may mayor covington -- the mayor of

>> they don't go near it, as a comedian you almost resent him because he's making us work too hard. if you're a political comedian you have three jokes you have to tell because they only give you so much but every thing he does is a race to the next day. we keep knocking them for saying president harris, that's in the teleprompter by the side turn on the speech they are like president harris, you know he's not that bad. this is what you need to know -- joe biden's speeches whenever he goes off message they are like lottery drawings. you know what it happens on tv the numbers pop up in the woman calls out -- that's a biden speech. this dude told us he got oil cancer from his moms windshield wipers and that can't happen unless words pop up. now when i watch the speeches i'm like a nursing home, 25th amendment, retire this dude. >> sean: one of my favorites is come on man, are you a junkie? or a dog faced pony soldier,

what is this guy saying? >> i also believe you have a problem because joe biden is funny, he's a funny guy. you may be threatened by a rival comedian end. he's not a president but he is a comedian, plain and simple. >> are you saying he's telling the truth he's going to beat president truman in 2024? >> positive spin on this at least he didn't whisper. >> sean: the whisper and the hair smelling is creepy, it's creepy. >> he didn't say not a joke. >> sean: that's a good one. what is it when he does the hair smell thing, what the hell is that? you all know what i'm talking about? that is scary. >> very scary. >> sean: that is like leo without his hat, it's scary. >> i will bring it next week. >> sean: i can't believe you left the hat on the plane. >> i came here because of my loyalty to sean hannity.

two my challenges i spend three hours every night watching fox news i can imagine h2 mack 1111. my question is why is the media so afraid or unwilling to challenge or ask hard questions to the biden administration and biden himself? >> sean: you know the answer, they are corrupt. they are biased. the fact they think they are journalists is a joke. they are a mop commits groupthink. thank god we have outlets like fox, thank god we have talk radio, thank god we have pod casters that can now bypass t them. otherwise we have been information crisis in the country. what grade do i get on the show tonight? be honest -- no influence for me. >> i give you a plus.

>> sean: everyone's going to think i stacked the audience. you want to move over little bit? how are you camille looking good? you've been out in the sun playing golf. >> there's so much divisiveness in washington, both sides taking extreme positions and not being willing to compromise. what are we going to need to do or what is going to be the trigger to bring things together and bring things forth for the american people? >> sean: it might not happen tonight, if it does and it will happen on monday. this will long be forgotten and they're going to get to work and serve the american people. i'm confident of that in the end. great question, want to give me a grade? sean: a- because i didn't get a football.
