breaking news out of new york city where the judge in the daniel penny trial dismissed the manslaughter charge. joining us with the latest in new york, our very own cebe cotton. >> daniel penny's fate is in the hands of jurors until monday. this has been a really high stakes day, tammy, because early in the morning jurors sent back a note saying they could not reach a unanimous decision on whether penny was guilty on the most serious charge, second degree manslaughter. the judge encouraged them to go back and reach a verdict. by the afternoon, jurors returned still dead locked. penny's attorneys said that the dead locked jury was grounds for a mistrial. prosecutors asked for the manslaughter charge to be

dismissed so jurors could deliberate on the lesser charge. the judge granted the prosecutors request. but they found that the move was coercive. the penny defence team is trying to remain level headed for monday and says "we are cautiously optomistic that the one remaining count will be dismissed by the jury on monday, that would finally put this nightmare behind danny and allow us to focus on the civil lawsuit for the same allegations contained in the criminal case." he said their client protected others from the man threatening people on the subway last year. they said that penny took things too far. activists tonight, they remain saying that the case is somehow about racism. >> racism is still alive and kicking in america. there is no other way to view

this. everyone has looked at the case. and those among you who say that daniel penny is innocent have racism and bias in your heart. >> reporter: on the lesser charge, penny could still face up to four years in prison but tammy, the judge could use his discretion and impose a sentence of one year or less so a lot more to watch. back to you. >> great stuff. thank you. appreciate it. after news broke that the manslaughter charge was dismissed, a legal expert posted on x that this is what the da wanted all along. in setting up a possible compromised verdict. let's talk about that and everything else. joining us now with more, thank you for joining me again tonight. important issues here. greg, i will start with you. at first -- i think at first

blush, this dismissal of the manslaughter charge seems like good news. but to the point that this is what brad perhaps wanted is what is interesting to me. can you explain that to the viewer? >> well, it is a partial victory for the defence that prosecutors threw in the towel on the top charge that they should never have brought, and then the judge dismissed it. but in doing so, the judge created what looks like reversible errors so if the jury convicts on the lesser charge next week, it would be overturned on appeal. why? because the judge contradicted his own earlier ruling that the jury could only consider the second count if they found penny not guilty of the first count. that didn't happen, so now the judge is letting the jury do what he said he couldn't do and the defence is right. this is coercive. forcing the jury to convict by

changing the rules after the fact. it is not just unorthodox, it is legally wrong. the judge's only option, one option only, was to declare a mistrial on the dead locked jury and dismiss one charge during deliberations and double down on the remaining charge. you can't do that. to me it violates penny's due process rights. but the lesser included was there as a potential compromise and maybe that was their intention all along. >> you know for all of us, we believe this should never have gone to trial in the first place. professor, in this kind of a dynamic when you have -- even at one point, he told the jury that it would have to be another jury, if they couldn't come to a decision, there would be another trial, and you know, another jury would do their job. but there is no guarantee that there would be another trial, the da could decide not to try

it again. it seems like, again, there is a kind of coercion that is aimed at the jury at this point? >> well, i think it is manipulation. it is manipulation by the prosecution. look, your commentator, that protester was absolutely right. this is a case about racism. it is about the racism by the district attorney. it is racism because if the racial composition was flipped, no one would have brought this case. there would be no protesters outside protesting about a black man being convicted of murder for choking somebody who was white. this is all about race, which is why although this is an attempt to manipulate the jury into coming to a compromised verdict, i think it will fail. i am going to predict here and now that i think that the jury will remain deadlocked on the lower count. because as the judge pointed out, from what he has heard and seen on the notes, this looks

like it is about disagreement between the jurors over two things. justification, was he justified in doing this and did he cause the death? those issues are the same for the higher count and for the lower count. also, if it is tried again, he can't put him on trial again for the higher count. that's double jeopardy. so the issue is whether or not the manipulation will work and we will get enough jurors to say, well, you know, he didn't commit manslaughter, but negligence, let's give the prosecution a victory. remember that the prosecution is running for re-election and he can't win re-election if he loses this case and also loses the trump case which he will on appeal if trump is allowed to appeal. look, brag is the worst district attorney in modern new york history. that is an office that has had great people. toms dewey was the district attorney. hogan was the district attorney. these are great das and now we

have brag? my god! he is lowering the office to the lowest possible level, and diminishing the respect that all new yorkers have for what was once a great office located in the hogan building. and it will never be called the brag building. i guarantee you that. >> it is a great office. it is a great city. all of which deserve better, and greg, i am going to ask you the same thing. what do you think that this jury is going to do? a man's liberty is at stake. and if you are going to do piece meal things to plakate the prosecution or you are pressured by a judge, how is that justice at all when someone's liberty is at stake? >> oh, it is not justice at all. as i said, the case should have never been brought. the top counts certainly not. the fact that the dead-locked jury is still there, and they will still be dead-locked on monday, a reflection of the

liberal views in new york and the public pressure that social activists have applied resulted in this case. they care less about law and order and more about identity pol politics. if neily was white, this case wouldn't have been brought. but they tried to make it into a george floyd, you played the clip of the "black lives matter" person. they vilified penny all too happy to go along and do their bidding. >> we have to ask -- >> penny was racist, there is no evidence. >> but i think -- >> go ahead, professor. >> well, i think that this case was hung before they heard any evidence. as soon as the jury was selected, this became a hung jury. that some members of the jury said, we don't care about the evidence. if a black man is killed by a white man, there is guilt. and you are not going to shape

that. no amount of reading back of transcripts, no amount of evidence or instruction is going to shake that. so i think that the people who have voted for a hung jury on the top count, they are going to stick with it on the lower count. i don't think that you are going to move people by the law or the facts. you are going to move them only by the emotions of race and that's what brag has been playing into and it is a disgrace. >> and then, greg, that's exactly the point. is that the things that made this indeterminable for the manslaughter charge is exactly the same as the professor noted for this other charge. so unless, again, somebody makes a decision because they have been pressured or bullied, but in this kind of a trial that isless likely in this kind of a case. what do you think they are going to do? can you read the tea leaves for a minute?

>> if you look at the questions they asked over and over and over of the judge, please explain to us the law on justification. well, the docterate applies to the upper count and the lower count. so the same people that had concerns about justification still harbour those concerns. and they are the kind of concerns that are deeply embedded in them. and so i doubt that they are going to change that. i think the professor is right. there is still a hung jury on monday. but we will have to wait and see. >> we will. and this is perhaps the best case scenario. >> there is one possibility that -- >> yeah. go ahead. >> i'm sorry. there is one possibility of the case being unhung and that is fear. fear on the part of some of the jurors who would vote to acquit. you have people standing outside

shouting racial comments. one was shouting homophobic comments at the defendant in this case. no one knows what his sexual orientation is in the case, and no one should care. but these are "black lives matter" rioters and people that don't care about justice, they care about justice for them and their race. and this is racial injustice. this is so scary for america, and i hope that the judge will have the good sense to understand that you can't allow that kind of racism to enter into the courtroom. he allowed one of the "black lives matter" people to come into the courtroom and sit next to the family. >> that's outrageous. >> of the victim after he made the racial and homophobic statements. we have to be very concerned because what is today unfair to one group of people could easily be as unfair to other people. >> we have to go, but i will tell you, this is a dynamic

where we have seen too often, of course with the jewish community here in new york and around the country. this jury refusing to participate with another -- you know deadlock would be the best news that we would have at this time. thank you very much. appreciate it. have a great weekend, both of you. monday is going to be busy again. turning it another breaking story out of new york. police say the suspect in the murder of the united health care ceo has left new york city. not surprising, turning this into a nation wide man hunt. here with the latest, kevin cork. >> reporter: evening, tammy. the search ongoing as we speak. the masked man who gunned down united health care ceo brian thompson in mid town is believed to have fled the city on an inner state bus and did so amid an intense man hunt that

according to the nypd. that has managed to track the gunman's movements from when he first arrived to the city to after the deadly shooting. police sources tell us tonight that the suspect arrived on a greyhound bus on the evening of november 24th. although it is unclear where the gunman boarded the bus. detectives are still working with greyhound to identify all the passengers and tonight, the company says in a statement that the bussing giant is in fact cooperating with investigators. now at the time of his death, the wall street journal reported that 50-year-old thompson was living without his wife for years. and said to have earned $10 million a year as the head of united health care. there is some indication that this may have been a disgruntled person that felt strongly about the insurance giant. that is still not confirmed. and the man hunt continues as we

speak. >> fascinating developments especially in such a high tech city. that's why many of us are fascinated with how he pulled this off. kevin, thank you. with more, as we discuss this fox news contributes, paul marro and ted williams. paul, let me start with you. thank you for joining me on this friday night. it is not surprising. it looks like this fellow was meticulous in some aspects of the preparation for this. but then perhaps sloppy or -- and made mistakes in other ways. and having a plan to escape the city, paul, you would think, would be part of this planning. do you think he got out of new york city as quickly as he could? >> i don't think that the police would say it if that were not the case. they put together a pretty good timeline of his activities, at least in and around the killing

and subsequent. the way he got in, and they are using all the stuff that we have seen in other cases. they are using digital forensics and a lot of video that they are pulling. i am sure they are looking into what he did during those 10 days. a pretty good amount of time. is there any indication of who he was staying with? did he stay with anybody. did he have associates? they are putting the timeline together. but if they said he left town, he likely left town. >> ted williams thank you for being with me. there is a lot of different pieces of evidence. some we have heard have been confirmed. others that we haven't including a dropped burner phone, possibly, he went to the starbucks before he committed the murder, allegedly, if this is the same person. that seems to me to be a habituary kind of thing. if you are a crystal beach --

creature of habit, it is familiar to you. he bought a bottle of water and disposed of it. do you think that ultimately -- is this guy going to be on the radar, ultimately of having done things that have him in the data basis, or is it possible, that this could be the first thing that kind of a person has done before? >> you know, tammy, it could be the first time that he has committed this kind of a crime. but i can tell you, i don't believe that this is a professional. i think this is a professional wanna be. and the things that he has done that you have said here are leaving bread crumbs all over the place. and when i use the word bread crumbs, i am speaking of the water the bottle. when you look at the burner phone that he was alleged to

have been on. when you think about the only fact that they were able to see him was at the hotel that he was staying at where he was allegedly flirting with a woman and pulled his mask down long enough for them to get the facial recognition of this guy. this guy is playing a cat and mouse game with the authorities. and i think paul will tell you, as i will say, just a matter of time before they catch him. >> you know, it seems like it would have to be certainly, paul, with facial recognition. but this is a unique guy that anybody who has been in this person's circle is going to recognize him. isn't it normally human intelligence or someone calling up, i don't know if the $10,000 reward is enough these days, but don't you think that somebody that knows this person breaks this wall? >> definitely could be the case. and let's admit the possibility that the police very well may know his identity and perhaps because of exactly what you are

saying, they may have gotten a call saying that, hey, i know who this person is, but may not have been able to put him on a particular spot yet. as far as the dna goes, let's remember one more thing. even if the dna doesn't pop in the dna data base, you can do the kind of thing where we have seen in other places, where there are other data bases. you can trace it down. you can go to commercial data bases like we saw in the coberg case in idaho. now you have to hit a relative. it is technical work to detective work. but this agency is perfectly capable of that. >> well it certainly is a different age when we are dealing with the ease with which bonny and clyde were able to move about. but even they were caught. paul, ted, clearly a story that is going to keep us enthraled and show us the benefits of the technological world and sometimes the limitations.

but let's hope that he is caught sooner than later to say the least for the sake of the family of the victim here. gentlemen, thank you very much. new coming up, barack obama addresses kamala harris's crushing defeat. plus tim walz says he was surprised by the results of the election. can you believe that? joining us with reaction, next on this special edition of hannity.

>> tammy: all right. welcome back to the special edition of hannity. i said a bad word before we came back in. and i will tell you my mood for this. the democrats had some regrets about the way they ran the 2024 campaign, and maybe of course the last 50 years.

former president barack obama is calling on democrats to talk to people with whom they disagree. suddenly he is interested in building coalitions that are open, now get this, to "not only the woke, but also the waking" as though -- that is a confession. that it is not just people who are always going to disagree. it is that have to come along, anyway, no matter what. but even obama is a bit further along in the grieving process than vice presidential nominee tim walz. he can't believe that he and harris lost. he thought that the positive message of the campaign would be enough to get by on. that's an element of group think when you just simply can't see the reality outside of your own bounds. here with reaction, our project cha

chairman, let's start with you. i was swearing a little bit before we came back on the air. as i was thinking about you know barack obama had so much potential did invigorate so many americans. the symbolism of his presidency as the first black president was vitally important. but there now seems to be -- like the spell is broken. that this guy becoming president part and parcel of all the problems that we have had, dividing people, maligning them. the smug superiority, and now people are hearing him say things like, you know, we have to have a pluralism and build coalitions. horice isn't the situation we are in now a direct result of what barack obama laid out when he was president and even

before? >> dr. suess has a book for the former president. it is marvin k moony, please go now. his leadership was wasted. the opportunity to demonstrate not just to americans as we talk neighbour to neighbour about what is possible in america, but the world. but what is possible in america. instead, he divided us. instead, he fooled us. they called it the lie of the year. if you like your plan, you can keep it. if you like your doctor, you can keep it. again, he is the first president in a hundred years when running for re-election who got fewer votes than he did the first time. he was already on his way out

and after 2012 every time he has shown up, he has not helped anybody. >> tammy: that's a great point. representative jackson, he could not drag hilary across the finish line even as the incumbent president. he couldn't drag kamala harris across. he can't be like ellen degeneres and leave the country because the money is here. his fame is here. and donald trump, he is -- when you think about what is possible for all americans, especially those who are disenfranchised, people of colour, legal immigrant, people who are still struggling, trump and his team has shown just the passion you need for regular americans in order to make things work. >> tammy, that's why president trump won. he won because he brought these people together. he regained everyone and made us all come together as americans again. you are right. this started in the beginning of

the obama administration and progressively got worse and was on steroids during the biden administration. but now he wants us to come together and get along and he wonders that we are going to weaponize the government and the power of the state and all the stuff that they have been doing for four years. they tried everything they could to tear down president trump and anybody that even remotely thought he had a good idea. and president obama started this during the 8 years of the obama administration. i was in the whitehouse, i was watching it every single day. and every single day it was identity politics. he didn't do anything that didn't revolve around identity politics. man versus woman, rich versus poor, gay versus straight. they made everyone feel like a minority and that everyone was out to get them and that's what led to the overwhelming defeat they have just witnessed. >> tammy: this is what is great

about america. that americans, there is this revolutionary spirit in our dna that we -- you know we like the underdog. we are romantics, we want things to be really good. but my goodness, if you keep punching us in the face, we are going to say stop it. and we are going to have the courage to say, you know, you are fired. we don't want you, and it seems like we are there. i mean who knew that it would be an older, white bad dancer who would bring all americans together. i mean, and we love him for it. but isn't that what we want. this power of everyone coming together that it is not some fantasy. this is the heart of what makes america great.

>> don't hate on the trump dance. it is easy for everyone to do. >> tammy: i love it! >> you pointed out in your introduction how barack obama has let america down because he attacked what it means to be american. >> tammy: right. >> one of the biggest complaints that i have about him as president is that he had an opportunity to say to every person, whether you are in rural parts of the country, whether you are in the intercity, black, white or brown, he had the ability to say to them, look at me. look at what is possible. in america, if you apply yourself, you can achieve. he did not say that. >> tammy: that's right. >> instead, he said, oh, they are holding you back. they are never going to give you a chance. that's why i wrote my book. that's why i wrote my book

predicting that black americans would not stay on the democrat progressive plantation. >> tammy: brava. >> this election came and they didn't. >> tammy: they didn't. gentlemen, this is a great time in history. even as we dance our way through it, thank you very much for joining me. i appreciate it. a great four years. they are going to be rough. but a great four years coming up. thank you. coming up, speaking of the dance, donald trump receives the patriot of the year award at the fox nation patriot awards. and the president elect will sit with and meet the press this weekend for his first interview since the land slide election interview. we are joined with more, next.

>> tammy: welcome back to this special edition of hannity. i am tammy bruce. sean hosted the sixth annual fox nation patriot awards. it was a great night honoring american's unsung heros and patriot. there was a epic grand finale. donald trump accepted the honorary patriot of the year award. take a look at this. >> we are going to bring our country back, and it is going to be bigger and better and stronger than ever before. and we are going to be proud of our country again. right now we are not so proud of our country. we are going to be very proud of our country again. it is going to be -- it is going to be better than ever before. it is going to be more successful than ever before. we are going to be more respected throughout the world than ever before. countries are going to respect us again. they already do, actually.

i think you have seen more happen in the last two weeks than you have seen in the last four years. and we are not even there yet. >> tammy: yeah, boy. he is not kidding. it is funny how everyone jumps when daddy is home. trump will be in paris tomorrow. not paris, texas. paris france for the grand reopening of the notre dam cathedral. which is fantastic. he taped an interview with meet the press to air this weekend. the public appearances come as states continue the election certification that is going on by the way, you guys. it has been. this is a process which is ahead of the electoral college vote later this month. he is now the certified winner in all seven of the most contested swing states from this election. a clean sweep. and by the way, if -- once texas does its certification, he will have the 270 electoral votes,

and so it will be sort of official. and that could happen any day now with texas. all right. here now with more are the blankly fellow at the steam boat institute, and fox news contributor joe cancha. thank you for joining me on this friday. so many things -- it is like so funny. life doesn't know that it is almost the weekend and it needs to slow down. kaylee thank you for being here. when you saw the crowd with the president last night, he mentions that already the world is respecting us again. it is true. it kind of confirms that just like in a home with your children or with america, with defunding the police, if people believe that there is no another with which that will hold them accountable for their bad acts, they will do bad things. and america -- whether we like it or not has held that role because of strength of our president. don't you see this four years?

this is going to be a time when that is reassert inned an undenial way. >> absolutely. and you know, the world's reaction to trump's election confirms that no one has been in charge the past four years, tammy. >> tammy: great point. >> who in the world is in the whitehouse right now. president joe biden clearly is not doing anything. you have hezbollah, that has er raised a cease fire. and canada begging to be our ally. and these things are contributing to what is an optomistic environment which you saw last night if you were able to attend or watch the patriot awards. there is a genuine sense that everyday americans that have been fighting for change who have been standing for what makes this country great are not in the fight alone any more. many were honoured on that stage last night. and it is great that they were able to hear from the guy who is

going to go in the whitehouse and make their vision a reality. >> tammy: for people that have not heard him in person, this guy, joe, i know you have talked with him, we can go to events, the donald trump that people saw last night,ing and every time whether it is the butler rallies or on interviews which we will see on sunday with nbc, trump is always the same guy. but for many people wondering, why would he speak with nbc. you mentioned that he had appreciated that welker was fair to him in the past. do you think his approach is going to be maintained with the press? >> it is a great question, tammy. here is the thing about the meet the press interview. donald trump should be applauded for taking it. like the debates he did on cnn, abc, hostile territory. he has confidence in his world view and what he is willing to do to move the country forward.

so one would think that nbc learned something from the election. but listen to this, guys, gals, i should say. maybe bring on someone that is remotely protrump to discuss and analyze the interview on what we call in this business, a panel discussion. but the four panelists they have decided on, tammy, kaylee is eugene daniels that would have been kamala harris's press secretary. he is antitrump. carrie lee who is antitrump, and jen psaki is going to be on the panel who is antitrump on picksie sticks. she lied about joe biden and his decline. she is on the panel. and we have marc short who is portrayed to be conservative. so we know where this is going to go. >> tammy: they have almost set up like group therapy after the

interview. they are going to pat each other on the back and hand out the tissues. and there is a lot of -- we have to get back to reality here when it comes to what these conversations are. but quickly, joe, to paris for the opening of notre dam. that is international travel. invitation by macron. do you think this is significant? >> he is negotiating with mexico and canada, and now he is over in france. he looks at the commander and chief right now. and kamala harris, you could find edward snoweden before her these days. >> tammy: what do you think about going to paris, kaylee. what do you think is going to happen there? >> it is another example of leadership which is especially important right now on the global stage.

and it is good that at least we have someone in the united states government who is capable of standing on his own two feet for long periods of time speaking to global leaders. >> tammy: they are going to have to get used to it. they know now to underestimate donald trump. as i say kiddingly, daddy is home. but trump will be seen as the greatest american leader in the past 100 years. we are going to see it develop over the next four. we are in a wonderful historic time here in this country. joe, kaylee, thank you for joining me tonight. coming up, gavin heads to the southern border to resist donald trump's agenda. and eric adams is not ruling out switching parties after the criticism of the leftist border policies, we will get reaction. next on the special edition of hannity.

i am forever ditching regular coffee. the tattoo artist drank a little too much coffee, and then he crashed, hard. so now maybe i do have some regrets. do not get a tattoo if your tattoo guy does not drink everyday dose. everyday dose coffee, functional coffee for all the energy without the jitters or crash. it's kind of the same right, do you notice it? you do? okay.

>> tammy: welcome back to the special edition of hannity. i have still proven that i love the trump dance. gavin nusome is making a border push before trump takes office next month. hurry. visiting the california mexico border to highlight a new point of entry. isn't that like the entire southern border. a point of entry project which he is working to secure federal funding for, of course. before biden leaves the whitehouse. he could just call himself ukraine and get like $10 billion. but not all democrats are pushing back on trump's immigration agenda. new york city mayor eric adams has become an outspoken critic

of the open border policies from the left and he has not ruled out switching parties. watch this. >> you were enrolled as a republican from 1997 to 2001. would you reconsider joining? >> the most important party for me is the american party. the home of the free, the land of the brave. my 19-year-old nephew died representing what this country represents. i did it as a police officer, when i wore that bullet proof vest for 22 years. i will do it with this blue suit as the mayor of the city of new york. >> tammy: here with reaction, leo, and sarah. it is interesting that gavin thinks that everything is going to change and all the clouds will go away. if he goes down to the border,

this is a newport of entry. don't we have hundreds of miles of a new point of entry here into the country? >> well, yeah. we have roughly almost 2,000 miles of us border with mexico. and gavin is a hypocrite, actually. because in 2018, he was so loud on twitter talking about having a sanctuary state, and he is going to open up the state to diversity. and he called everyone in. we are a nation of immigrant. we believe in legal immigration. and i come from california. i remember when i first started to cover the border and the issues in california. and it was already exacerbated and i am talking over 20 years ago. under gavin newsom it has been a complete and utter failure. from los angeles to san francisco, to anywhere in california. you can see the effects of illegal immigration which is why, tammy over 550,000 people

fled the stay of california and they lost a seat in california because of that. gavin newsom wants to join the trump train. good for him. but i don't think that people are going to buy it. i don't think they are going to buy it. >> tammy: they can't. you know, you are a native californian. it is a great state. it is horrible what has happened to it. but both of these guys, leo, eric adams and gavin newsom they really think that they can just be shape shifters. and that they think that americans are going to like fall over and trust them after everything that we have been through. what do you think, california is going to have to vote for a new governor. what is going on in that state? can it be saved? >> not with gavin newsom, not until this state becomes at least purple. trump was trying -- gavin news

newsom was trying to trump through -- he wants money from the trump administration. and i will admit to you. unless he eliminates sanctuary cities, trump should not give him the time of day. and eric adams does nothing. he is going to look for a pardon. he is looking for a pardon. what has he done for four years? he has done absolutely nothing for new york. he allowed jewish students to be attacked. he allowed crime to go on. he never criticized alvan brag going after trump. they are con men. trump is in power. trump should never take adams' call or news >> i just wish you'd expect yourself and your opinions more directly.

i don't -- how will the audience understand about what you think? see, this is -- for new yorkers, this is -- people sometimes forget the media stop covering it. he's under investigation. a lot of his staff quit. they're getting subpoenas. people are getting raided. there he is, you know, suddenly some different guy and he cares -- new york -- it's a horrible -- it's a horrible city. this guy disappointed everybody. >> a transformation a chameleon. i get what you're saying, leah. i totally get it. i also think it was huge wake-up call for everyone in new york. when governor abbott september over 120,000 people, they bussed them to sanctuary cities. america woke, especially new york city. mayor adams is like i don't know where to put these people. when they put them in the elementary schools, remember
