>> sean: welcome to hannity. tonight president-elect donald trump's nominee for secretary of defence pete eggs that continues to meet with senators on capitol hill had of his confirmation hearing. he will join us live in a minute for an exclusive interview. you do not want to miss. also tensions are rising all across the middle east and europe tonight. sparking knew fears over a potential world war. seems hell-bent on escalating tensions starting world war iii on his way out the door. he knows that donald trump wants negotiated settlements. a lot more on that coming up later. yesterday donald trump's first interview after the election aired on "meet the press". we will show you the highlights coming up. we start tonight with breaking news. justice was served in a new york city courtroom earlier today after the jury found daniel penny not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in

the subway death of jordan nearly. this comes after the manslaughter charge was dismissed by the judge on friday after the jury failed to come to a unanimous decision. the fact that this case was ever brought forward is a complete travesty of justice. this is someone, how is this person supposed to react? when you have a crazed homeless person with a history on mile-long in terms of dealing with cops and authorities. in a subway car yelling that he's going to kill himself and everybody else in that subway car. that would be a clear trend -- clear and present danger. daniel penny stepped in as a brave, good samaritan to protect everyone else in that car. as one african american woman testified to is she said thank you. to mr. penney for what he did. the charges alone brought by the

radical d.a. alvin bragg represent the blatant weaponization and abuse of our system of justice. after the jury deadlocked the judge went against a new york state law that mandates that pas choose the charges before the trial and allowed bragg to eliminate the manslaughter charge without a verdict which leads to what the law is intended to prevent which is something called a compromised verdict. new york courts and sda are completely out of control. this has to end. following the verdict, black lives matter activists, some guy named hawker newsom turned up the rhetoric and call for race-based retaliation. take a listen. >> just like everybody else six justice on their own, just like everybody else has vigilantes, we need some black vigilantes. you people want to jump up and choke us? and kill us for being loud, how

about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us. >> sean: black vigilantes, let me ask this question. where was black lives matter? you see that police officer right there, his name david lee. he was killed in the line of duty back in september, a drunken-driving incident by a biden-harris a legal. where was the outrage then? here with reaction to today's verdict is greg gerrit and... good to talk to you both. we all called this. we all knew what should happen here. this case never should have been brought but after the jury deadlocked on the manslaughter charges, at that point my understanding of new york law is that should have been the end of it. the jury is not allowed to go back to the lesser charge unless they come to a unanimous verdict

on the more serious charge, am i correct in my understanding of new york law? >> you are right. the rules of criminal procedure say only if the defence agrees at that late stage to a dismissal can the judge grant a dismissal. otherwise he can't do it. he knew it and did anyway. the verdict i think proves this case should never have been brought. it was a gross injustice, contrived by a biased prosecutor who sees everything through the lens of racism and politics. he doesn't give a damn about innocent victims of crime. alvin bragg... targeted him because he was white. then manipulated evidence to turn a hero into a villain. 's lead prosecutor outrageously referred to penny as the white man, the white defendant. in the end this diverse jury refused to buy into the race

baiting which means that now and again, justice is vindicated. the question is will bragg now tried to recharge penny on the manslaughter counts that he dismissed, and can't do it. wants the jury was sworn in, double jeopardy attaches and forecloses the retrial. so it's over for him and hopefully new yorkers will wake up from their slumber and kick him out of office next year so that it's really over four alvin bragg. >> why would that happen? alvin bragg will be rewarded for what he did in this case. you will be rewarded for going after donald trump even though the statute of limitations had passed. it was a legal nda put together by a lawyer labelled as a legal expense. those 34 charges against donald trump that never should have happened. nor should this case have ever been brought to trial.

nor once they deadlocked on manslaughter, that case should have immediately -- it should have been over. they could've retried the case but they dismissed it. even without the defence's permission. >> in the normal course of events, he could've been sued for what he did. he violated the law. you put himself above the law with trump, he put himself above the law with penny. but there is judicial and prosecutorial immunity. they are above the law. they are what they claim donald trump is above the law. and what about failure to prosecute or investigate the black lives matter organizer, the one you showed a minute ago on television. in the courtroom in front of people he said the following turning to penny. it's a small world body. and several people in the audience gasped. that was at the very least a veiled threat of violence. if i'm penney, i've got to get

myself protection at this point. he is threatening to kill and to choke and to strangle penny. why is there no investigation and prosecution of the head of the black lives matter? there are guilty people here. the head of black lives matter is guilty of incitement and threats. and the district attorney is guilty of unethical, immoral conduct. there ought to be consequences. it's not enough to get an acquittal here because nobody is going to come to the rescue of anybody else in the subways in the future because of the horrible decision that he made to prosecute this innocent man and the threats that are being made by these guilty black lives matter leaders who also be investigated and prosecuted. >> so what happens from here? this case is now over. the subways aren't going to be any safer and i think you both probably agree with me, new york medias left-wing radical as it is, this guy's going to get

reelected and his weaponization continues. we have judges in new york. you still have... swearing that mar logo is worth $18 million where it's worth one to 1.5 billion. he stuck to that end stays stuck on that to this day which is madness. how did they get away with that? >> they do because this is a far left liberal state and voters keep putting these people into office. penny one his freedom but the societal damage that bragg caused his long-lasting. future good samaritans are going to be reluctant to come to the aid of people who were threatened and attacked. they will fear that they will be criminally prosecuted even though their actions by law may be justified. they will remember the case. a former marine absolved. he is stained by a d.a. who persecuted an innocent man.

anybody who might have the courage to do the same thing, to help other people preyed upon, they are deterred. making the weak and the vulnerable easier targets. by any measure penny as a hero. alvin bragg is the coward. >> we also put together a group of people to put a candidate on the democratic primary. he must be defeated. last time he was opposed by a brilliant young woman lawyer but beaten this time he's going to lose. he has to go major cases. the trump case which he's trying to manipulate so they can't be an appeal because there. [simultaneous talking] >> let me ask you this. what recourse is available if you have either prosecutorial or judicial misconduct? what recourse is there? for citizens that may be want

justice. >> not a lawsuit. the supreme court protected other judges in a horrible case by saying there's total and absolute judicial and prosecutorial immunity and they are the same people who complain that trump is above the law because he has constitutionally protected presidential immunity. we have to have a single standard here and there has to be reconsideration. of that decision, immunizing prosecutors for putting political considerations over judicial and legal ones, the same thing is true of judges. they should be amenable to legal consequences. they are not above the law. >> sean: we appreciate your time. think you for being with us. we turn to other breaking news tonight. earlier today police arrested 26-year-old luigi manji only. the suspect in the assassination of united health care ceo brian thompson in new york city also

last week. the suspect arrested at a mcdonald's in pennsylvania after an employee recognized him from pictures circulating around the news and called the police. according to the police he was found with a fake i.d., a ghost gun, a note expressing ill will towards corporate america. >> tonight when he 6-year-old luigi mangione showed up here for his arraignment at the blair county criminal courthouse where he was arraigned on five criminal charges based on having fake ids and that illegal ghost gun. he was denied a bail. our cameras actually captured him going into the courthouse. he will spend the next couple of weeks in a jail cell. his hearing is set for december 23rd here in pennsylvania. police say at about 9:15 this morning, he was eating out a table in the back of a local

mcdonald's. he was wearing a blue medical mask and a beanie while working on a laptop when a mcdonald's customer told a mcdonald's worker to call police because mangione looked like the thompson murder suspect. one iraqi police officer asked him if he had been to new york city recently he got quiet and started to shake police say. the officer asked him to take down his mask and the officer immediately recognized him as the suspect in the universal -- in the health care ceo assassination of brian thompson. police say mangione had multiple fake ids on him including the same fake new jersey i.d. used by the thompson shooter to check into a hostel in manhattan. he had a loaded pistol, a 3d silencer. $10,000 cash and a u.s. passport. he also had a three page handwritten note about the ill will he held toward corporate america. tonight pennsylvania's governor john shapiro is blasting those online appraising

the murder of the universal health care ceo brian thompson. >> in some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero. hear me on this. he is no hero. the real hero in the story is the person who called 911 at mcdonald's this morning. >> is expected to be extradited to new york city to face charges in the murder of thompson. that is something that could take up to 45 days. >> sean: thank you for that report. now with reaction, former nypd inspector paul moreau and former fbi special agent nicole parker. nicole we will start with you. first of all, it took a long time to find him. that is somewhat troubling to me. number 2, especially because they had a pretty good idea what he looked like.

the second part that bothers me here is this guy appears to have been very public and outspoken about his radical views and we are finding more often that people are telegraphing these crimes before they commit them. reaction. >> first of all, of course in the public we want crimes to be solved immediately and i understand that. this is a very dangerous individual. behind-the-scenes law enforcement are working tirelessly 24 hours around the clock trying to locate who he was, where he was. i do respect we wanted this to be solved sooner but i'm just grateful that he is currently in custody. they are pouring through thousands of tips, lots of things that they have to look through. processing evidence. i respect law enforcement and what they have done but i agree, we would like to have had this sooner. i'm grateful that he's now in custody. i do think that this individual, this is not the person that i suspected it would be.

this kid came from a very privileged and wealthy background. he went to university of pennsylvania, he graduated number 1 in his private school class. multiple degrees from the university of pennsylvania. and this individual killed a ceo of an insurance company. what caused him to do that? what was the grievance that he had? clearly he has a problem with corporate america. he's anticapitalist. this act is a clear demonstration that he is not in agreement with what is going on in corporate america. i would like to understand looking at the grievance, and looking at the motive, how did he select this particular ceo? why was it brian thompson that he picked. victim selections would be very important and pointing back to the motive but this murder is a clear manifestation of his grievance. >> sean: what do you make over the fact that so many on the left taking now to social media and elsewhere and actually celebrating the assassination of

a husband, a father, a ceo because of a bad experience maybe that they had with their health care provider? that is getting very loud on the internet. what is your reaction to that? that sick to me. >> i go back to the statement about democracy which was margaret thatcher said which is the worst form of government except for all the others. americans health care system is far from perfect and it's gone through some... the idea that that justify killing or... is preposterous. i like to thank that it's a representation of a much smaller group of people than it appears. empty garbage cans make the most noise. now that should matter unless it rises to a threat. of those threats need to be investigated. this case is just starting. they are going to have to try to

get into his devices. how did he know that the victim would be there almost an hour and a half earlier than he was scheduled to be. there's a lot of questions he is still. a lot of legal... this is just starting. >> sean: why is it up until recently, i don't know if they ever finally got into the phones of the would-be assassins against donald trump, one of the would-be assassins had up to six or seven phones. why canst the fbi hack into these phones? it seems like the iranians have no problems doing it. and the chinese have no problems. the fbi can't open up these phones to get the evidence that they need? >> these encryptions are very difficult for them to break into. may be the fbi should start focusing on the technology that they need to get into these types of phones instead of continuing to focus on political things. the capital violence is still on that front home page of the fbi website almost four years after

the fact. i'm so grateful that president trump is coming in because that is going to put an end to this politicize asian of the fbi. let's get back to focusing on fighting crime because that's what americans care about. they want to stop individuals like this killer and be able to get into these encrypted apps so we can keep america safe again. the politicized asian, the gig is up. it's over. i was at the fbi, i left because it was politically weapon iced. president trump is going to come in and clean house of this and that's over. >> sean: thank you. will become back, we are joined by... as he is now rallying support to lead the department of defense under donald trump. he will join us and we will check in with newt gingrich.

>> sean: last month our friend pete hegseth was chosen by president-elect donald trump to be his defence secretary. president trump's announcement, he has faced the predictable slew of allegations about pretty much everything. a personal relationship which he was fully investigated, exonerated and his time in the military and he might have had a

drink or two too much on occasion. he's been on capitol hill meeting with lawmakers discussing his upcoming confirmation hearings. today he had his second meeting with iowa senator . after the meeting she said she looks forward to supporting pete through this process. pete hegseth joins us now with more. welcome back, great to have you. >> things for having me. >> sean: let's talk about the meeting with... today. >> it was a great meeting. people don't really know this. i've known her for over ten years. i knew her when she was a state senator running to be the first female combat veteran and we support her in that effort and have continued to because you get into these meetings and you get to listen to senators, it's an amazing process. you hear how thoughtful and substantive they are on these key issues as they pertain to our defence department.

able to have phone calls and meetings time and time again to talk about the issues is really important. the fact that she's willing to support me through this process means a lot. i want an opportunity to clarify comments that have been misconstrued that i somehow don't support women in the military. some of our greatest warriors are women. who serve and defend this country and love our nation and want to defend that flag. they do it every single day around the globe so i'm not presuming anything but after president trump asked me to be his secretary of defence, should i get the opportunity to do that i look forward to being the secretary for all of our warriors. for the amazing contributions they make in our military. >> sean: there are more liberal senators. i do know... i got a lot of time to spend with her. she was beyond reasonable but she is the only republican from new england. have you had a chance to speak

with them up to this point? >> we will be meeting with senator collins on wednesday and senator murkowski on tuesday. the founders got this right. this is not a trivial process. this is a real thing. advising consent of the nominee who the president has chosen. i'm so grateful that president trump would have the faith in me to lead the defence department and to choose me to do that. meeting with all the members of the senate committee and they all have great questions and my answers are for them. the left is trying to turn this into a trial in the media and we're not going to let that happen. i'm going to walk in the door of every one of these senators with -- as an open book willing to answer the questions because they deserve answers and that will be, i've heard great things about all these senators. we look forward to earning these votes. that's what it's about, earning the boats through the committee

and through the entire u.s. senate. hopefully i will have the honour to being able to stand up for our fighters. it's all about the minimum and who put the uniform on. they want someone to have their back in that top spot. >> sean: the media mob doing what they predictably do. you had a consensual relationship. it was investigated. you were fully exonerated and correct me if i'm wrong here, wasn't there videotape evidence that was responsible for exonerating you? >> in addition to personal witnesses and all of that, it was fully investigated at the time years ago. i was completely clear. that's why you know what i look forward to, i'm looking forward to the fbi background check. i like to -- look forward to the under oath conversations. this is what the left does. it's the anatomy of a smear.

they take something and they add anonymous sources and contortions and flat out lies and then they tried to try you in the media before you can even get into the doors with senators. this is where i give so much credit to president trump. he's got a backbone of steal. he called me and said you keep fighting and we... he said because i know you can do this. you have to stare these folks down and stand up for the change that needs to come to the defence department for our men and women in uniform. if he can endure what he's done then i can stick up to this line press and fight on for the american people and our war fighters. >> sean: when reagan became president he talked about what he called a gap of vulnerability militarily. we had planes i couldn't fly, ships that couldn't go up to see. i want to know about your -- your vision about the department. they have hypersonic missile technology. i'm of the strong belief future

wars will be fought from air-conditioned offices. the nature of warfare is changing. military technology is key. i feel like right now we are behind. i love the president's idea of an iron dome. if we could protect the entire country that would be his greatest legacy and -- if he follows through with that. how do you do with dei in the military and recruitment problems we've been having. >> there's a lot to be done. you salute the commander in chief who got those 76 million votes and is going to chart the way and i will give him advice and counsel along the way. i will say what he told me. returned the pentagon to the war fighters. clean out all of the social justice and politically correct garbage on top and get back to lethality, war fighting, accountability, meritocracy and readiness. 95% of the people in that building and -- that wear the

uniform, that's all they want to do anyway. when you return to that a change the culture of an institution that now stands up straight. you address that recruiting crisis. you address the retention crisis. i can't tell you how many families have reached out and set my son or daughter wasn't going to join another ar after president trump was elected. same with retention. than the rest of the world takes notice of that. i'm not going to head it -- not going to get ahead of the president but we will be strong. we will have peace through strength. and we will put america first. that's what he's asked me to do at the pentagon and that's why my promise to the american people and our war fighters led by president donald trump. >> sean: we appreciate you being with us. good luck in the process. democrats aren't going to be nice to you. we appreciate time. also tonight donald trump is going to be inheriting a world in crisis things to biden's many foreign policy failures. in ukraine joe has been

escalating the conflict with hundreds of millions of additional dollars while ignoring north carolina and granting ukraine permission to fire ballistic missiles into russia. that's great because vladimir putin now responded by changing russia's nuclear policy to allow the use of nukes to respond to any ballistic missile attack inside of russia. he knows that donald trump wants a negotiated settlement. both sides seem to know agree with trump and biden is also insanely -- he allow the taliban in charge of afghanistan. he's left american hostages held by hamas. plus there is now a power vacuum as you know in syria and what what the joe do, he fired missiles into syria as soon as assad was deposed. and writers don't trump was saying we should not be involved. it almost seems like joe biden is trying to ignore world war iii on his way out the

door. trump is coming back, the leaders now know it and did you see the way he was received in paris this weekend? next to the french president and his wife, he sat right in the middle. one can make the argument that donald trump is already acting as president or at least considered president by the rest of the world. that is exactly the point that newt gingrich makes in his latest column. he joins us now. how are you? >> i'm doing great. i want to say i work with pete hegseth a lot over the last five or ten years and he's a bright and competent and courageous guy and i thought he did very well just now. my hunch is he's going to be secretary of defence. >> sean: my hunch is he will as well. the left will do what they do. they will treat him like they did clarence thomas, this never ends. it's predictable at this point. i hope republican senators see through that. let's -- why would joe biden at

this hour be giving hundreds of millions more dollars to ukraine , why would he be granting the permission to fire ballistic missiles into russia, causing vladimir putin to change that nuclear policy. why would he be firing right after assad is deposed, why is he firing into syria? >> i think joe biden is probably personally not doing any of that. everything we've seen including his recent trip to angola, he's cognitively incapable of having ... it's safe to assume he has some left-wing staffers that are doing dangerous things. i just wrote that we have for the first time in american history a defect owe president. we've never seen anything like this. when president trump went to paris for notre dame to see the opening of notre dame after its disastrous fire, he was treated

by president micron as though he were the president. he got the full experience of the french greeting you in a way which is really historic. no president who hasn't been sworn and yet has ever had the kind of experience. you had some 82 litres from around the world for the opening of notre dame. he had a great meeting with the president of ukraine, a great meeting with the prime minister of italy. i think what we are seeing is somebody who is president a fact of that is in fact but not yet president in law. you won't get to be president until january 20th. he's already the centre of the governing system of the american people. and i think it's a remarkable achievements. >> sean: is it a really -- is it rooted in this that there's a

fear, a healthy respect for donald trump and that he's strong and he's tough and without even taking the oath of office he has almost single-handedly, his election has reestablished america as the world leader. >> if you are a relatively sophisticated leader around the world, and you watch nine years of the rise of donald trump and you watch two impeachment and you watch all of these efforts to catch him in the law and you watch two assassination attempts and the guy just keeps coming. this is a mythic figure almost like the various scandinavian beowulf's and other kind of sagas. there is no practical way that you can explain trump within a normal political structure. he now represents clearly something like 55% of the

american people believe that he is in fact got a clear mandate. only 32 percent don't agree. he's beginning to build almost a 2-1 margin that this is the leader of the american nation. if you are the rest of the world and you -- people forget we are an enormous country. 345 million people. we are the third-largest country geographically in the world. we have enormous power. clearly still despite every screwup at the pentagon we are the most powerful nation in the world. this is the guy who is now coming back and they all respect it and they are frankly stunned by it. >> sean: he could be transformational as you were when you were speaker. maybe if he accomplishes just his stated agenda. we appreciate being with us. donald trump sent down for his

first sitdown interview since the election. we've got the highlights and we at reaction. lara trump is stepping down as cochair of the rnc. we will ask about that.

>> sean: come january the 20th republicans will control the trifecta in d.c. donald trump has some big plans and here is what he told nbc's meet the press yesterday. >> i'm looking to make our country successful. i'm not looking to go back into the past. on looking to make our country successful. retribution will be through success. we can make our success -- this country successful. that would be such a great achievement, bring it back. i'm not interested in that. i'm the chief law enforcement officer, you know that. but i'm not interested in that. you know what i'm interested in? drilling and getting prices down and stopping people from pouring into our border that come from resins in mental institutions. when you say its divided i agree. biden is the president and i'm not. he has been a divider. he divided it more than anything else and it probably backfired on him.

its weaponization. when he weapon eyes the justice department anyone after his political opponent, me. >> what you want to say to americans who did not support you in this campaign. >> i'm going to treat you every bit as well as i have treated the greatest supporters. there's never been anything like it in the history of this country. >> sean: rnc quote -- cochair lara trump announced she is stepping down from that position as it's speculation grows she maybe called upon to fill the florida senate seat, soon to be left vacant by future secretary of state marco rubio. she joins us now with more. great to see you. >> what a great interview by donald trump by the way. he laid it all out there. he also made sure that he reminded the american people he's not going to take a salary this time around. he didn't take a salary the first term in office. people often forget that about donald trump but he really showed exactly who he was and i

love it. success will be the retribution and revenge that everyone has talked about. >> sean: this is what drives me nuts. he said it over and over again. i would argue that joe biden when he leveraged 1 billion taxpayer dollars to get a prosecutor fired, that was investigating his son and this energy giant called... and that he find -- financially benefited, that would be something that would be worth investigating and put before a grand jury. however,, how many times does your father-in-law, the president-elect, have to say i'm not interested in that. for people to believe him. >> it's a great question. the proof will be in the pudding. once he takes the oath of office and gets in there and people start feeling it, that's the thing. that's what really happened in this election. is that people -- you can't tell people that their life is great when their life feels really

bad. that's why so many people couldn't go out and vote for kamala harris because they said i couldn't vote for four more years of this. even the people who didn't vote for don trump, they are going to start feeling their life heading in a better direction. life is good to become easier, more affordable for you, safer for you. by that i a lot of people are finally going to realize i was lied to about donald trump. all the things they said about him my not of been completely right and he will be a president for every american whether or not you voted for him and i think it's a great thing. >> so you step down as cochair of the rnc. you did a great job. you told me privately and i think you said it publicly that you were in this for one election, this was not going to be a permanent job for you. there has been a ton of speculation that you might be on a short list. i've not spoken to the governor about it in terms of replacing governor rubio. have you spoken to him about it or is it anything -- would you

want to be on that list? >> i'm honoured. i've heard the same rumours you have. it's an honour to be even mentioned on this list of people who are incredible patriots and have done an incredible service for this country. i did say when i took this job that this was not something i wanted long term. in fact, i like the idea of accomplishing your goals and then leaving, allowing someone new to come in and moving on. that's what i want to do with my life and we did accomplish all the goals that we set out to do in this election. donald trump has been reelected, we have a majority in the senate, we have a majority in the house. we prevented the cheating from happening. we've got low propensity voters out. we had people voting early this election and we really have a great blueprint for how to go forward in the future. i know michael whatley is going

to continue there and do an incredible job with whoever the cochair is. but of course its an honour to be considered and i have not talked to governor desantis about it but if he calls me and asks me to do it i would certainly think long and hard about it. it's a big consideration but it's something that i truly would be honoured to be asked to do ultimately. >> sean: not that i'd be on the short-list for elected anything. on the piece of garbage according to joe biden. i would absolutely say no not interested. if you're ever asked to serve i think it would be great. you'd be a great senator. let's see what happens. we appreciate you being with us. when we come back the bidens give mullah mack the cold shoulder but you were never going to guess who was on the short-list four times person of the year. we get reaction straight ahead.

♪ ♪ >> sean: many americans have been questioning the growing tension between the bidens and kamala harris over the past few months. this video only made thanks worse. this was at the kennedy center on saturday night. look at this right over here. biden you can see him right there walking to their seats, right next to kamala, her husband, and seemingly ignoring the vice president. this interaction in stark contrast to joe biden and donald trump and their encounter at notre dame at the reopening impair risk. joke and not look happier to see the president-elect. smiling and talking and now the photos went viral and trump used one in an add for a new

fragrance with the tagline, a fragrance even your enemies cannot resist. here with reaction. the host of fox nation's night of comedy it is this thursday on long island exactly where the patriot awards were at the tell the centre at long island university. tickets on sale at right now go to foxnation.com/night of colin -- comedy. maybe he didn't vote for trump it seems like it. >> jill voted for trump, but joe did not because he thought he was still in the race. let's be clear, they hate here, they genuinely do not like her. they did not even acknowledge her existence. to be clear kamala can take it because she was ignored by voters in every swing state what is to more people you know what i'm saying? and the whole interaction is a misunderstanding because she is

actually there working as an archer to pay off her campaign debts. so it is expected to see her. >> sean: i agree. to me it is pretty obvious. anyway, this morning, so "time" magazine reveals they have 10 candidates on their short-list for a person of the year. i'm shocked you are not on the list. i thought you would be there. you were not going to believe that one of the top 10 candidates are. kamala harris. or you kidding me? percent of the year after accomplishing nothing but failure as vice president? the greatest the best historic comeback in history donald trump's victory in november of? how could she be person of the year. it has to be trump. >> by the way, i'm certainly -- i'm certain it will be anticlimactic. he has to win for a few reasons. i understand it kamala being there that is a participation trophy and at times looks nice for giving it to her. the reason trump wins is obviously everything he overcame

to become president again, but more impressively, this is the most impressive thing trump has done this year, he has entered a new dance for a song that already has a dance. the ymca has been a dancer for 50 years and he was like you know what? we're doing this now. and we are just doing it we are not even acknowledging that there is a ymca. he changed to the dance! >> sean: at the patriot awards you were up and you were doing your little dance over there. i saw all of it. you did a good job. >> whell nobody could follow you you were on fire. but i think you had the fox team you got the dance on camera so you could make fun of us it was black male. >> sean: it really was i'm glad you finally noticed. night of comedy is this coming thursday. it is on a long island, they tell, tickets foxnation.com night of comedy.

who else do you have? >> gym breuer will be there, and the radius is there he is a great italian comic. so italian we are paying him in meatballs. you are going to love this guy we're going to defund the joke police. for one night it is an anything goes event. you can see it in person or watch it on fox nation but either way you slice it we are playing prison rolls this would be a rowdy show. >> sean: by the way you were great on stage. you have become one of my favourite comics you put on a great show. jimmy failla thank you, sir. that was all the time we have left this evening as always thank you for being with us thank you for making that show possible. please set your dvr so you never missed an episode of "hannity". for news any time all the time foxnews.com, hannity.com. in the meantime let not your heart be troubled. greg gutfeld is back and he is standing by to put a smile on your face. have a great night. ♪ ♪
