dr. jill should buy the big guy on my pillow for christmas. they are half off right now. i mean he wore a hat, why not a my pillow. mindy, maybe nancy pelosi should have seen -- should have been a little nicer to biden. she's not getting a pardon and she's probably the one who needs of the most. just pillow talk right? joni from arizona, al capone's biggest problem, his father wasn't present. chuck from florida, i waited three years 4-foot operation at that same hospital. i had to move to florida to get it done. you had to get it done there because they were getting it done there. ron, hey, jesse is the va hiring? there's about 32 women there that want you to work there as well.

>> sean: welcome to hannity. tonight we have a lot of breaking news to cover including new developments from the daniel penny trial. we will bring you inside the u.s. supreme court where far left litigators are making some pretty heinous arguments in favour of sex change operations for children. many don't want parental consent. we will also check in with your president joe who took a nice long nap during a meeting in africa. let's turn to some shocking news out of new york city where the ceo of united health care brian thompson was gunned down just before 7:00 a.m. in midtown manhattan and what appeared to be a targeted attack. at this hour the suspect seen here wearing a hoodie and a mask is still at large after fleeing the crime scene on a bicycle. here now with the latest out of new york city hour own alexis mcadams is with us. what's related -- what's the latest up there?

>> right now in new york city there's an all-out manhunt happening on the streets right now as they are trying to track down the gunman who shot and killed a ceo of united health care. he was in town for a couple of days for a business meeting and now tonight he's not going home. this all unfolding as that was all caught on camera. this gunman knew exactly who he was looking for and exactly how to work at gun. you can see it there on your screen. this is what we got in from the sioux -- from the surveillance. he pulls out a gun and opens fire. we had to freeze it because it's all graphic. shot brian thompson at least twice. once in the back and also another in his leg and he looked around to see him in the face before he opened fire again. the gunman wearing a mask, gloves and a hoodie, took off on his bike after the shooting. investigators searching for him still. >> the motive for this murder is unknown but based on the evidence we have so far it does appear that the victim was specifically targeted.

>> brian thompson led one of the biggest health insurers in the country. united health care. that's why he was here for a meeting. he was a husband and a dad of two who lived out in minnesota and was just in town for work. thompson was supposed to speak at the investors day conference at the hilton hotel in midtown when he was shot and killed by that masked gunman and police say they know this was a targeted attack. some other photos they want to show people at home, the nypd put these pictures out. this shows that this gunman before he shot and killed the ceo went and grabbed a coffee at a nearby starbucks. his face wasn't completely covered at that coffee shop so that could be key in this investigation. you can check it out here there's an ongoing investigation and crime scene tape still up. these wanted signs all over the place. there's hoping some but he recognizes this gunman and calls him in. >> my understanding is his wife thinks she had been -- he had

been getting many threats. >> she didn't know exactly what the threats where. they were about his job and we know there's a doj investigation ongoing into some workers over at united health care it so as that continues it's going to be all played out if that had anything to do with what looks like an assassination here at midtown. >> sean: we appreciate it. also tonight, joe biden remains in africa where he continues to make a fool out of himself, and bears our country on the world stage after getting confused by a dance routine. take a look, is he trying to dance? maybe we should teach him the trump dance. on the tarmac in angola, he then proceeded to fall asleep during a meeting with african leaders. i guess he was bored or tired. it was a long trip. this wasn't a momentary lapse. he actually napped for quite some time. no one bothered to wake him up. some describe it, joe biden is totally cooked. while he nabs, president-elect

donald trump is a nonstop communication with leaders all across the globe. he has issued warnings to our adversaries like putin, iran, hamas and even utilized america's leverage against some of our badly behaving allies. canada, mexico. this weekend he will attend the grand reopening of notre dame as an honoured guest of the french president . also despite biden's obvious decline it,'s white house staff are aggressively laying the groundwork to block donald trump's agenda. on the foreign policy front we've talking about this. the administration actively now trying to prevent a peace deal in ukraine. they know the incoming president wants a negotiated settlement, offering new funding and new access never before given to long-range ballistic missiles. russia already responded by launching an icbm attack escalating the war to a dangerous new level. vladimir putin is now change the

nuclear policy. if you launch a ballistic missile into russia they now have the ability to nuke you. that is their official policy thanks to joe biden giving the go-ahead on this and the weaponry to do so. biden is also handing out billions of dollars of your hard-earned money other countries all around the world while the people of north carolina are literally, families spending time in the winter in a tent and breaking tonight, they apologize for lack of shelters but apologies don't keep you and you're children warm in the winter time. why is all this money going to ukraine and angola and africa and joe biden seems completely oblivious, not concerned about the people in north carolina. he just announced $1 billion in disaster aid to africa, another $725 million in aid to ukraine. on top of the already approved 175 billion in aid of previously approved.

and back at home biden just further reduced water protections. making it even easier to cross into this country illegally. he also signed on to a massive new deal allowing thousands of federal employees to work remotely through 2029, designed as a roadblock to the department of accountability which plans to reduce the size of government and increase in person work. everything the biden administration is now doing in this vital weeks is all designed to obstruct the policies that the american people voted for. they are not trying to improve the country, they are not doing it to make your life better. they want to make donald trump's job harder and try to stop his agenda. the radical left got destroyed in november. for them everything is about politics. it is about power. they don't care about the quality of your life, they lied to you about the economy, they lied to you about borders. they told you the world was safe and secure, the afghanistan withdrawal was just great. pretending to be the most

virtuous people on the face of the earth. today on that hard-hitting news show the view, charlamagne tha god called them out. take a look at this. >> when he kept saying things like nobody is above the law, i respect the jury's decision in regards to my son, he didn't believe that. he didn't have the volunteer that lie to begin with. >> i'm going to stop you for a second. only because you don't know though it was alive. we don't know why he changed. >> you changed his mind over things given we can all of a sudden? >> i think he changed his mind because he got sick of watching everybody else get over. >> why countries it win democrats are wrong and why can't republicans say when republicans are wrong. [simultaneous talking] >> sean: calle jarnkrok and way, the incoming deputy chief of staff for policy stephen miller, along with contributor...

kelly and we will start with you. let's get your reaction to these last-minute manoeuvrings of joe biden and the administration seemingly designed to put roadblocks in the way. >> is problematic that's why donald trump's approval rating right now are than the number of actually who voted for the percentage he got in the popular vote which is pretty high because people see him communicating with us free of charge on social media, telling us what he things of tariffs for canada and mexico, telling us what he things of the u.s. deal. he's going to paris for the opening of notre dame and going to the patriot awards. he is telling us what the president's thinking and wanting to do on their behalf. joe biden already one of the least popular presidents in recent memory is making that worse now. democrats are mad at him for two things, for saying -- stay in the race for to long and for pardoning his sun and they are

attacking him by name. he's embarrassing us on the world stage. i will fix it. and that -- everybody knows who's breaking it. donald trump will fix it. i don't think some of the stuff that joe biden is doing is authoritative and that donald trumbull have to own and eat it, some of what he's doing would have to go through congressional approval. he's not even bothering with that. i love him pushing back on these women. he's got higher ratings than they do. i looked it up before the show. when he said to them and to admit when the democrats are wrong. the differences between the democrat and republican party. we took our insurgent, our political outsider and our disruptor and made him a two-term president. they took bernie sanders in 2016 who beat hillary clinton and 23 primary caucuses contests and kicked him out and made sure he didn't get the nomination. in 2024 they took their insurgent political outsider disruptor rfk jr., wouldn't give him access to the dnc voter rolls.

the donor list, the debate stage. where is he now? endorsed president trump and he's been a huge help and he's good to be in the cabinet. that's the difference. that plus we've gone from the obama coalition to trump country in 12 short years and people like the view, people like joe biden is at the end of his 55 year political career, he can take it. never saw trump coming, he's going to go into history i think is a very unpopular president who gave us an equally unpopular vice president. >> sean: they are trying to trump proof the doj with all these late minute hires. we know that they have new contracts, why are they signing new contracts when they have a new president that they know wants to cut back on the bureaucracy and limit the size and scope and influence of government. then you've got ukraine. the guy that wouldn't allow poland to give zelenskyy 28...

now with the last-minute is approving ballistic missiles, being fired from ukraine into russia knowing donald trump wants to and negotiated settlement. tell me the logic behind this. >> it's desperation. the democrats were not only beaten but they were electorally crushed. the historic landslide. electoral college, the popular vote, historic numbers of hispanic men, black men, muslim voters. every single democrat -- demographic group moved republican in this last election. every sickle part of the country, all 50 states, moved republican. the democrats are humiliated, defeated and weekend and these are all things that come out of that desperation. let's be clear, when president trump is inaugurated, he is the president. he can avoid those contracts. he can reverse any decision that joe biden has made.

no president can constitutionally impair their successor from executing their mandate and donald trump on day one will implement his agenda in it's entirety. from energy to deregulation to bureaucratic reform. to restoring peace and stability around the globe, and of course to pursuing record shattering economic growth. it will happen quickly and it will happen with the full support and backing up the americans. who are hungry and yearning for change. >> how do you prevent the department of justice from ever being weapon eyes began? how do you return the fbi, in the world's premier law enforcement agency, to its former greatness and give politics out of that department. how do you return our intelligence community to its former greatness? it seems to me that a lot of people deep down inside the of these agencies, departments, are going to need to be fired.

and wiped out, is that possible? will the president have that authority? >> he has the authority, he needs to have the people in place to make it happen. you've got to clear out the top-tier. you got to steer -- started the beast for the bureaucracy. for the law-enforcement components the fbi, the cia and the other types of things, they've got to be functional. and they've got to be working. they've got to reset the mission. once you clear out the bureaucracy, there are the top people there, you have got to get them focused back on the mission. that is to make america great. to lock down the border, to make sure that the united states is no longer pushed around. donald trump has been sending those signals and he's doing it right away. he set up that message to that -- to those in gaza and said you better release those hostages by january 20th or there is held to be paid. our enemies will start to respect the united states of america and our allies will love

us. they are starving for leadership. who is running country at this point? joe biden taking a nap, kamala harris is doing who knows what. they are handing out of dollars, signing these contracts and america is sick of it but they see hope over the horizon. it's in donald trump. he will get us back on track and make america safer, you will opt on those borders. we're going to go after the cartels, knock out the chinese from the main nip elation that they've been doing fentanyl and every thing else. america will feel better and better and better and it's all because of donald trump's landslide victory, he told the truth and there is this surge of patriotism that is just contagious. >> if the president simply keeps his promises, which is we're going to secure the border, we are going to stop all these unvented illegals from coming into our country, if he deports the criminals and other people that broke the law, if he

returns to "law & order" in small towns and big cities, fix the economy which i think is one to be a little more challenging but on the other hand he's done it before and he will do it again. if he makes us the most rich energy dominant country on earth, if he restores america's place in the world, if he eliminates di and awoke in our schools, won't that be in and of itself, that small -- those small items that are huge, won't that be transformational in and of itself? >> he's a transformational, once in a century figure, once in a couple generation figure for that reason. it's the messenger and the delivery. the delivery is not not... he continued to go on traditional and unconventional media. the message and the messenger is what will carry the day. you laid out exactly what he ran on. donald trump was transparent and granular about what he wants to do in a second term.

in some ways he wants to return us to where we were in 2019 before the year of the global pandemic and social unrest where we had low interest rates, we had low on employment, we had high wage growth. a majority of new jobs going to amend. we had a really a rising tide lifting all boats. you just said a few things that biden made worse. in some ways people want trump, the trump they had back but they want him to come and reverse some -- so many of these policies. don't tell me this... to kill those jobs, to pull us out of afghanistan, what is the difference to having a female vice president of the united states here if the women are less free and have fewer rights because it she and her boss did what they didn't? i think donald trump can get in there through executive orders, through reconciliation, through legislation with slim majorities in the house and senate and through these departments and agencies and another that can do

so many things to clean up at the executive office of the presidency and our departments agencies, he's going to move with alacrity and he's putting a senior staff around him and a cabinet all who can do that periods and more importantly he's picking people to communicate a message. they can tell you exactly what's going on in their department and agency. >> sean: you want to be the deputy chief of staff or policy. how quickly can the president accomplish those main agenda items, the big promises that he made on the campaign trail. >> let me paint a picture for you of those first 100 days. rapid, total, complete deregulation of american mg explosion. you were going to see an american energy boom starting right away. you're going to see all the regulations that are strangling job growth in this country and driving up prices and housing costs go away. you will see the border sealed shot, the criminal aliens are going to be shipped home and

countries are going to accept the gang members and the cartel members that are poisoning our families and murdering american children. we're going to see peace begin to restored to the world as the president works to bring back harmony in the middle east, harmony in europe. you will see him work with congress to pass another round of historic tax relief and you will see a government that is accountable to the people again. the swamp will be drained on day one. a competent and disloyal people that are hurting this nation are going to be replaced with those who care only for the american people, the american worker and the american future. that's what's going to happen. it will be a new golden age. >> if all that happens america will be transformed. you know the intel committee well, you know the fbi well. you know the doj well. you've investigated all of it. how hard will it be to clean those agencies out? >> you've got to get into the of it. i was the chairman of the oversight committee, we were

constantly going after them but they would hide the documents, they would hide the information but once kash patel is in there and he can get in there and have the access with him -- pam bondi and start releasing those documents you are going to see a transformational -- it's want to fundamentally change the equation. the world needs clarity, leadership and a need to understand the united states of america is the world superpower and donald trump delivers all of that. i'm -- i've never been so excited but the future of our country with donald trump starting on january 20th. >> i think that this is an opportunity that comes along once every 100 years to really have a radical but real and necessary reset or return to constitutional order and that means limited government, greater freedom and that a lemonade's waste, fraud and abuse, all of the above. it can all happen, if it does we get our country back on track. thank you all. will become back weight until

>> sean: historic moment at the supreme court. the first openly transgender attorney to ever argue before the high court. the effort to overturn the state of tennessee ban on medical gender transitions for children. most justices on the court didn't seem convinced by the arguments which i think is a positive development since more than 20 other states have also passed laws inventing children from making permanent, life altering decisions before they are legal adults. remember kids we are talking

about are so young that they are not even the ones that can legally consent to getting these procedures. by the way, they can't get tattoos until they are adults. they can't buy cigarettes, they can't debate, they can't buy alcohol until they are to anyone. their parents have to sign off on what these gender transition surgeries. according to this attorney, that's perfectly okay because apparently kids as young as two years old know deep in their hearts that they were born in the wrong body. i'm not making it up. >> nobody has to provide this medication to adolescence. these are not doctors being forced to provide this medication. these are doctors who are wanting to treat their patience in the best way that they know how based on the best available evidence to us. these are young people who may have -- with a have known since they are two years old, who suffered before they had any relief. it's not the kids who are consenting to this treatment, if

the parents who are consenting to the treatment. as a parent i would say it win our children are suffering, we are suffering. >> sean: here with analysis, law professor jonathan turley. tamia was interesting how the justice -- justices approached it in a different way. one win at it from a medical point of view and medical science and different studies and contradicted some of the studies that were being cited. another justice said is in this estate issue? to me it's also a parental rights issue don't you think? >> it's all of that and so much more. there were moments in this argument that were quite sporty. you had justice alito asking the solicitor general whether she wanted to take back part of her filing with the court because she stated there is overwhelming evidence that this treatment is necessary and safe and does not have these problems in the vast

majority of cases. they said right after you gave that to us this past report came out which joined other european reports saying the opposite, that there are serious questions about the efficacy of the treatment, about the effects on these children. he said do you want to change your statement. she declined. there was a lot of uncomfortable moments and not surprisingly given the subject matter, including win this solicitor general was asked to where you the line on things like sports, when we get to those questions is there a constitutional right here that it will extend far beyond the question of treatment the biden administration said you can work on that. they sort of shrugged and didn't give a very clear answer. that i think really undermined them a great deal because these justices were very concerned about the implications. and keep in mind, these justices have shown great sensitivities.

they said their arguments on both sides of this issues and they showed a great deal of respect to both sides. but they said isn't that the point. there is this good-faith disagreement between parents, between states, shouldn't we leave this to the political process and to the states to resolve. at that view seems to have a majority of the court, if you looked around the nine members during the argument, that can change. most of us were looking most carefully at justices... they were strikingly quiet. barrett asked questions on both sides. keep in mind, in 2020, chief justice roberts joined... who rode an opinion who supported transgender protections and workplace discrimination. but roberts today made it very clear that this seems like something that should not be left up to the court.

>> sean: let me go back to the other part of this. they were making the argument to the court that there is substantial overwhelming evidence establishing appropriate gender affirming treatment with puberty blockers, hormones directly and substantially improving the physical, psychological well-being of transgender adults , adolescents rather and gender dysphoria. and then they go on and say excuse me, the swedish national board of health, he had done his homework. he goes on to say said that sorry they assess the risk of puberty blockers and gender affirming treatment likely outweigh any expected benefit of these treatments. that was a pretty solid be down and you rightly point out they are given an opportunity to retract the statement i was made

in light of the new scientific evidence. >> the justice said ic studies on both sides here. i see arguments on both sides. why do you think that they should make that decision for the state? this is a matter influx when it comes to the science and that's putting it lightly. there are many people that disagree significantly with the administration was saying. that's why it really seemed reminiscent for many people of the covid period where you couldn't question what the cdc and others were saying about the 6-foot rule or the efficacy of masks. if there was a certain orthodoxy that if you question it somehow you must be in favour of covid or you don't care much about the lives of your fellow citizens. there's that same feel on this one that the justices tried to

make clear that they have supported transgender rights. you have chief justice roberts and... who did that. that doesn't mean that the court should then take this entire matter away from states, parents and others. there's parents on both sides on this question. and they recognize that. >> sean: what about california and minnesota. gender-affirming care without parental consent, what you do in that case? >> that's right. that's the reason your point is a good one about parental rights. parental rights is often not discussed. it's viewed as the weaker of the ... that we supposedly hold. many parents are objecting that their children can't even get an aspirin in school without their consent. but they can get so much else that might change their identity and set them on a path that they want to be part of that decision-making. they want to play a role.

they know that child better than any -- better than anyone. you are right about this argument bringing together all of the social and political and medical and ethical questions. >> sean: it's hard to predict but i predict that this will be sent back to the states. they will at the states decide, the people in those states decide. where do you think this ends? >> i think that said. if you do a head count that's that's where i'll put my money. >> sean: ongoing with you. you are the law professor, not me. i think justice jonathan turley sounds pretty good to me. maybe even chief justice, i don't know. >> thank you sean. >> sean: on manhunt underway in new york after the ceo of united health care shot dead in what was seemingly a planned attack, assassination. jury deliberations in the daniel penny trial ended without a verdict.

can you read into that? for god so loved the world that he gave his only son. so that everyone who believes in him might not perish, but might have eternal life.

♪ i call winner! >> sean: major breaking news out of new york city today, day two of jury deliberations ending without a verdict in the trial of daniel penny mack wall radical manhattan d.a. alvin bragg is hell-bent on sending a good samaritan to prison, crime is filing way out of control in new york city. early this morning the ceo of united health care was shot and killed in midtown manhattan and what police are describing as a premeditated targeted attacks. violent crime is now impacting everyone in small towns, big cities all across the country, wreaking havoc in the streets, targeting prominent leaders like the ceo of large corporations, presidential candidates.

alvin bragg needs to spend less time trying to ruin the life of a good samaritan who stopped a possible violent attack and maybe give more time, attention, energy to cleaning up the increasingly dangerous streets of his city. here with reaction... looks like an assassination attempt to me win you look at the video. >> it absolutely does. it's horrific and it's very interesting. he's from minnesota but he was murdered in new york city. the shooter was undeterred, he had no problems or qualms walking right up to this individual and shooting him so calmly and so brazen. it's absolutely horrifying. i think what's interesting is the threats. i want to know how are the threats transmitted, when did the threats occur, were they written threats, oral threats,

avoid scrambler. i would like to do some statement analysis on those threats because through the course of the day, the wife said he had talked about some people threatening him and then i understand that united health care group, there was also threats on these high-level executives. they are under investigation for insider trading. i also understand they were sued by the hollywood firefighter pension fund. there are a lot of things that investigators are want to look at but what i believe is most important is that someone knows the shooter. someone knows who did this, there is a reward out right now and it's important to place these tips. if you know, all the tip line. there was so many cases that i was able to solve because someone called the fbi and provided a tip and it really helped investigators solve the crime. >> sean: lammie ask you about the case of daniel penny. about an hour after starting the second day of deliberations, the jury wanted another look at the videos that captured five audit

cameras of the police that were there. the ones that responded to the incident. they wanted to revisit a video shot by a mexican journalist who was on the train that depicts most of that six minute restraint. later the jury was asking to hear part of the cross-examination for the city medical examiner who concluded penny's choke hold likely killed nearly but remember, never asked for a toxicology report and made that determination without one. >> this case comes down to one thing, justification. which is a complete defence to the charges. that was the very first question that jurors had today for the judge. there focused squarely on how his actions were reasonable and justifiable. but they also asked to review the dubious testimony of medical examiner. she lamely rationalized it was okay for me to declare this a

homicide without waiting for the toxicology report which showed copious amounts of drugs in his system. and she rushed to judge them on a cause of death without the facts which is what the prosecution did in bringing the case. the jury also wanted to scrutinize how that medical examiners trial testimony contradicted her own earlier grand jury testimony and that glaring into consistency really sheds her credibility. if she's destroyed, the entire prosecution's case is failing. >> sean: what do you glean from that what the jury is asking for, do you glean anything from them wanting to see the video, wanting more information on the medical examiner and that determination? >> before i get to that i have a theory about why this ceo was killed. remember there's information that there was an investigation

about insider trading. he was being investigated, there were people out there who would be afraid he would flip and turn against them. so i think they have to investigate the possibility that somebody who he might have testified against had him killed to prevent from testifying. whoever killed him knew where he was going. knew it was well before the events began. i think the investigation has to look and where'd to the company to see who was under investigation and who this guy might have flipped against. turning to penny, obviously the jury is divided at this point. i think the defence may have made a mistake by focusing on the cause of death because that's the spirit. they could go either way. the justification issue which greg isn't focusing on is the absolute core defence, even if he did cause his death, even if he did choke him, what he did

was a rational response to a threat. even if he overreacted a little bit a jury should not convict. the case should never have been brought against him based on that kind of speculation. >> let's get your take on this. you've been involved in investigations into homicides, how does a medical examiner make a determination cause of death but not get a toxicology report back first? >> et cetera rush to judgement. i've had cases where there are conflicting autopsy reports and it is very troubling. i'm sure the jury is thinking what's going on here. this person said this, this medical examiner said this. this forensic pathologist said this. it's very confusing. going to actually what occurred is a former fbi agent you are highly trained to handle situations like this and you take an oath to protect the american people from danger and that is similar with the military. we are protectors, that's why you sign up for that job because

you want to keep people safe. i would think twice about protecting someone on a subway because i don't want to go to jail. he has got to be found innocent. this case should have never been brought. >> sean: you will never have a good samaritan step forward again. the most compelling evidence came from people on the subway train that said they felt their life was in jeopardy. >> at the lead prosecutor repeatedly inserted racism into the case where there was none. no evidence of that. penny would have been charged with a hate crime if racism was involved, it wasn't. that is reversible misconduct by the prosecutor, it's reprehensible. >> i think races involved in this case. i think it never would have been brought if the victim hadn't been black and if there hadn't

been protest by black protesters who think every time a black person is killed it must be the responsibility of racism and white society. >> sean: everybody on that subway cart feared for their life. that is justifiable use of force. there will never be a good samaritan step up again ever. why should they? they will risk their whole life in jail. it will me come back, donald trump and his agenda for his for -- first 30 days in office what has been revealed. we break down the president-elect, we get reaction. we continue. ♪ ♪ give the gift of adventure. now through december 8th, purchase special holiday gift cards and save 10%. buy in store or online

speed to the incoming senate majority leader john threw him revealed his legislative agenda for trump's first 30 days in office. republican meeting on tuesday,

he said he plans to bring forth a budget reconciliation package on border security, defence, energy and then later in the year, a second reconciliation bill to extend the expiring trump era tax cuts. let me stop here. i have a message to your republicans in washington, make the tax cuts permanent. also no tacks on tips, no tacks on overtime, promises made, promises kept. president-elect trump reportedly called into the meeting urging lawmakers to act swiftly, decisively on the agenda. senator lindsey graham, let's get your take. do you agree with me, make the tax cuts permanent, no tacks on tips, no tacks on overtime. >> we're going to try to do all of that. the main thing i want to do is secure our broken border. on the budget chairman. we're going to meet in early january. we are going to pass the most

transformational border security bill in american history. we are going to give $85 million plus to the trump administration to hire more i.c.e. agents to deport people. to create more bed space so you don't have to... to build a wall, finished the wall and put technology along the border to seal it. we're going to do all of that in 30 days. will be the most transformational border security bill in american history. we're going to to fulfil president trump's campaign promise. i can do it through budget reconciliation without a single democratic vote and we are going to do it. no is not an option. >> sean: let's talk about the president's choices. before your committee... democrats seem to be salivating. they want as many scalps as possible. the smearing that, the lying, the slandering is par for for

the course but it's going on. will the president get the cabinet that he wants? >> i'm on judiciary committee. pam bondi will come out of the committee with republicans and i think some democrats. she's incredibly qualified, very ethical. former attorney general of florida. no better pick for attorney general. kash patel, counterterrorism prosecutor, understands the government. at the fbi doesn't need to be cleaned out, what does? he will make it out of committee. i don't know if we get any democrats but he will get all republicans. i'm a big fan of his choice to be fbi director. i've known him for a long time, i served with him in afghanistan. the people over there said nothing but great things about him. the allegations against petes are all anonymous sources. are not going to make any decision based on an anonymous source. if you are not willing to raise her hand under oath to make the accusation it doesn't count. i've heard everything about all

of these people, none of it counts. >> you were there for the cavanaugh hearings. maybe your finest moment in the u.s. senate because you got mad because the stories kept changing. more evidence came out and it was clear to me that we weren't getting told the truth the whole time. >> it was a bunch of anonymous sources and the people that did come forward, it made no sense. they were trying to destroy his life. the accusations being made are anonymous. but if people do raise their right hand and claim something bad happened, i will listen to them. it's up to the nominee to go through the committee and answer hard questions. it's my belief that presidents deserve their cabinet unless it is a good reason to say no. all i can say is that democrats want to talk about confirmation drama, i want to talk about securing the border and cutting taxes. this is a diversion.

i will say this. the confirmation process for both sides, you should find out who you are putting in these important jobs and time will tell if there's anything serious here. allegations that are anonymous don't count. >> sean: do you believe we will become energy dominant? do you believe the president will make the tax cuts permanent? do believe he will have fulfil the promise no tacks on tips or overtime, do you believe the border will be secured, do you believe criminal aliens and others will be removed, do you believe that world order will be restored now that donald trump is back? >> i believe that all the problems of our nation are going to take deterrent -- going to take a turn for the better. we're going to appropriate money to allow president trump to finish the wall, secure the border, have bed space so people don't get released like the killer of laken riley who was like go because there was no room and i also believe we are going to start deporting people

with more i.c.e. agents. we are going to cut your taxes and make working people have a better life. that's what i believe. >> sean: maybe they can stop escalating the war in iran. it seems like they are open to a negotiated settlement. i think so and i think the odds for peace in the middle east are much higher than people may give it right as of tonight. thank you, more hannity coming up straight ahead. new alka-seltzer plus cold or flu fizzy chews. chew. fizz. feel better fast. no water needed. new alka-seltzer plus fizzychews. narrator: for generations, this ally to the north has been by your side. ontario, canada, a partner connected by shared history, shared values, and a shared vision for what we can achieve together. stable and secure, when the world around us isn't.
