with less than one month left in his failed presidency, joe biden appears hell-bent on causing as much damage as possible. earlier today in the head scratching move, biting commuted the sentences of 37 death row inmates. instead reclassifying these murders as life without parole. in a move aimed at stopping president trump from carrying out executions that would not have taken under the moratorium biden issued in 2021. despite the fact that according to this survey, the majority of americans support the death penalty. the list of those sentences who were commuted by biden consist of some truly heinous criminals, child murderers and mass murderers but while biden is causing more problems ahead of inauguration day, president-elect trump is ready to shape -- shake things up starting on day one.

at a turning point event this weekend, trump suggested that the united states could be claim -- could reclaim the panama canal, watch this. during the same speech president trump also announced he would change the name of america's tallest mountain back to mount mckinley. in honour of president mckinley.

after obama changed it to denali in 2015. trump's not stopping there, in a post made on truth social, the former a future president reiterated his desire for the united states to take ownership of greenland. here with reaction tennessee senator . senator , i think many people of questions tonight about the panama canal, about greenland, about trump issuing warnings about tariffs to comply or incentivize other countries behaviours, as a city of the united states senator, walk us through how this all works and why it is important? >> kelly the american people have given president trump a mandate, they are tired of our nation not putting americans first and we have seen the biden administration have in america last policy so when it comes to

dealing with the panama canal and making things, america disadvantaged of course, let's put this issue on the table and kellyanne: talk about it. many talk about securing on our nation that is where greenland comes into the conversation and being strategic and how we're going to keep this nation safe. that is what americans want to see. they want to see departments that are going to be run by people who were going to treat everyone by the same rule of law. they are going to have equal access, equal justice so president trump has a mandate, it is going to be up to the u.s. house and the u.s. senate, both in in republican-controlled to make certain that we take action that we support president trump and that we get things done for the american people. >> kellyanne: you serve on the

senate, you have distinguished yourself as a member again and again, most famously asking a woman, what a woman is, she told you she is not a biologist and cannot answer. but i want to talk about what president biden did today. mass murder, child murders, commuting sentences from death penalties to life without parole. what say you? >> it is disgusting! that he is done this . what we have seen is an administration being the record holder in trying to make a legal acts legal, look at our southern borders. look at the inequity. all of these departments with two tears of treatment, what he did in commuting these sentences with life without parole, it

shows a disrespect for the rule of law, for judges, for juries and a profound disregard for the parents. the loved ones of these individuals that were killed, by these murderers. you have to think about those of families, is a christmas, they don't have someone that they can send a letter to you or a phone call to, that person is gone! because of these criminals chose to take the action that they took and took those lives and killed and harmed and destroyed the lives of others and it is so very interesting that joe biden, in order to obstruct this trump administration and to keep them from following the law! they went out and went forward with these commutations and moved it to life without parole,

rather than having these individuals have the death sentence, carried out on them. after they have killed policeman, service members, children, and torturing and killing children, stabbing children, kelly and this shows you joe biden has no regard for the rule of law and they are such animosity in the biden administration that -- toward donald trump, that they will obstruct him from carrying out the will of the american people. >> kellyanne: it's so true, thank you so much for joining us. merry christmas to you and your family. according to a new cbs pulled more americans say they are optimistic heading into 2025, and -- compared to 2024.

with trump set to take off and in light of his resounding when democratic pennsylvania senator has a strong message for those rooting against trump. listen to this. and in an interview with cnn outgoing west virginia senator went as far's to call the party, toxic! watch.

and the senator's not the only one calling of the democratic party, stephen smith said he regrets backing kamala harris and could be open to voting republican in the future. take a look.

here with reaction fox news contributor charlie and ari, along with chairman and ceo, mark. thank you for joining me, stephen a. smith recently voted for kamala harris, since then donald trump one pennsylvania. charlie, is this a recognition that the democratic party has a message -- or are they hearing from a constituent that these democrats a better get board with the trump agenda and make significant changes? >> i would like to thank they are doing what they think is best, but i imagine you are right that they are probably

hearing from voters and getting nervous about how far out of touch they've gotten. when you sit back and think about this, the democratic party is every institutional advantage at their fingertips. they have the media, they have the big tech companies, they of hollywood, everything is on their side and yet, still, after all of those internal advantages, you have a guy like donald trump with his america first agenda coming along and he was able to expose all of it and it is true. the democratic party has become this toxic party of hatred and the lack of inclusivity and the complete lack of tolerance, the hatred for half of the country. it's now the republican party under donald trump that is the big tent that is welcoming and open to ideas and has all the interesting and there are losing

all of those advantages, despite all of those advantages still losing the big fight, because of the way donald trump is remade the public and party. >> kellyanne: of course charlie is right, the left wing movement belongs to the democratic party, but it feels like it is changing in the tech community, that faith is now in fashion in hollywood that some of these tech giants are going to see president trump at mara largo, saying how can we help with crypto and ai and all of the policies, but tell me what you think what we can just dissipate -- what we can anticipate. any different? >> you can add to that group, academia has not cracked one

bit. as for the media, it is fascinating because donald trump does not really need the mainstream media. the mainstream media, if they behaved him the way they did in 2017, his first year in office, he can ignore the mall. they were just there to be antagonistic. they were not there to cover the news or be fair for the new president of the united states, they were there to be a part of the resistance. they have contracts, twitter followers, their editors ask them to become even more activist. trump broke that. he created a new model and i hope he really takes advantage of that new model, i hope he changes the briefing role, i see no reason to have the mainstream media to have the space they used to have. that room should be dominated by new thinkers, new generation of reporters, into him with how people get their news today. donald trump has a chance to do that he is going to be able to

be tremendously influential -- influential to get it's message out because he thinks differently. >> kellyanne: it's fascinating that was discussed, and what could be done. there is an abc news reporter we showed earlier, jonathan is written three books with trump in the title and she's working on his fourth book. i feel like some of these need donald trump -- some of these people need donald trump. you have been saying to your party, the democratic party, for a very long time to get an agenda. follow what the people are saying, security, everyday affordability, fairness over being well, i think this was rejection but both for your party how does it relate to this, would you recommend? >> the party is not going to rebuild itself right now. first of all, we need joe biden to leave office without doing

further damage after pardoning his son and commuting the sentences of 37 murderers. kidnappers, and what have you. he could not -- his ratings have fallen into the 30s and he could not be doing more destruction impossible, the next few months as you know they are going to be donald trump's time. the countries waiting for him, they are expecting big things from him, they're going to give him the stage, democrats are not playing the same game of interference. the country's not doing that. his ratings are in the mid-50s, we will have to see what his inaugural address is, he has a real chance to take this issue of inflation, cost of government, immigration, crime, getting back to normal. free enterprise, all of those things in america, he has a chance to put together and unify

the agenda. the democrats are not going to get organized for a couple of years here or lease until the midterms, i think if you see senators giving the president a chance, really take it. will unify the country, that is really the question here. the public wants him to do that, they are going to give him the opportunity. >> kellyanne: if you are rooting against trump you are rooting against america, it's so true. thank you for joining me and charlie, have a good new year and great holiday. joining us now with more, reaction to all of this tennessee senator, senator thank you for joining us, first let's talk about the news of the day, joe biden commuting these the death penalty sentences down to life without a chance of parole. i feel like there is four weeks left, how much more damage and pain and lack of compassion code joe biden reek on this country?

>> it cannot come soon enough, we were praying that the 20th of january comes with no more damage to the nation, joe biden is doing everything he can to destroy his reputation. his legacy is going to be the worst president in history of the united states, i think jimmy carter enjoyed that for a long time, joe biden is clearly going to take the title from him now. this is a disgrace. if you think about the verse in office, collapsing the border, it's been one consistent thing after the other, otherwise, seems to have known location for him. this is yet another disgrace. his son, now this, it's a terrible legacy to leave behind. >> kellyanne: senator, i noted today that president biden justified his actions in these commutations with words like conscious and principal. it is reported he is set to meet with pope francis over in italy at the vatican, so, if

president biden is saying this is out of conscious and principal, how are we supposed to approach the families of these loved ones, of these children who were sexually assaulted and murdered, what signal is this and i want to ask you because being us a -- being a senator, you understand the value of diplomacy, what indication with the beaver president biden to say on the verge of meeting with the pope, he is acting out of conscious and principal that our country should never again execute anybody on death row. >> what he is doing is responding to pressure from the pope, the point -- the pope does not run the united states of america, he does. i don't know what joe biden's motivations are but i do know that joe biden has decided to do with the pope wants him to do, it certainly is not what american families feel, is the

fair thing to be doing, is certainly not a deterrent when this happens and like you said, the families that have been victimized, i don't think joe biden could look anybody in the eye and justify what he is done. >> kellyanne: senator instead of talking about what could happen on day one, as all of us are doing, tell me what would qualify as great success in your view after the first 100 days of this next trump term, his polling numbers are in the mid-50s i think they can keep climbing, what qualifies success to you? >> the first point i would like to meet -- make is the success has already begun. europeans are saying maybe we should start buying u.s. lng right now, the u.k. wants to increase their defence budget, these things are happening around the world because of donald trump. once he's in office we will see

rapid action and the key component of success early on will be securing our southern border, getting us back into the energy business in getting american reinvested again. what you see is a sense of confidence among business leaders, you exceeded already, the confidence among consumers, small businesses, a great result a couple of weeks ago, a couple of ceos, everybody is thinking more positively about the economy and investing in america so what you will see is a resurgence of american energy, investment in that sector, we are going to see that become a geostrategic tool that we will use for america's benefit around the role. as our economy moves forward we're going to strengthen the american dream, make americans happy again, their wages will be ... with security at our border we're going to see security breakdown. all of these things can happen, they are all positive and we

need to see it now more than ever, america's ready for this and i feel certain in the first 100 days were going to say should take -- thing that can process. >> kellyanne: it certainly feels that way and we are rooting for it, giving trump grace and latitude, thank you and merry christmas. coming up, an illegal immigrant is arrested in new york city for allegedly lighting a woman on fire on a subway train to york before watching her burn to death, we will bring you the shocking details plus luigi mangione pleads not guilty in the murder of united health care ceo brian thompson, next on this special edition of hannity. ♪ ♪

>> kellyanne: welcome back, a horrific story out of new york city. in -- an illegal immigrant is accused of letting a woman on fire on a new york state subway train and watching her burn alive. sources tell fox, he was an illegal immigrant he was deported during the trump administration and reenter the country at some point. invading border patrol when crossing the second time. but remember, we were told under oath, by secretary and others, the border was secure.

now we are being told the subways of new york city are safe. new york governor posted on twitter just hours after the murder, congratulating herself and her efforts to make the subway system safer, she could not be any more out of touch. she was called out on it by everyone from new york congress, to incoming trump borders. she also took time to promise that the thousands of children who had come over the border under biden and disappeared, into the country, will be found and accounted for. let's hear more about that from the man himself, tom incoming border joining us now. thank you so much for joining us, i don't think anybody is on tv more these days and i don't think it's an important for anyone to be on tv as much is you explaining what you plan on doing on day one.

let's talk specifically about your promise to solve the problem. these missing children, tell us what you can do and will do. >> that's you to be the most difficult problem, secure the border, deportation operation, and finding these children. is going to be a tough job because what this administration has done, the way we find people, you and i both of the digital footprint, we have homes, cars, driver's license, we they -- we pay bills. there is a digital footprint. children don't have that. which means we have to count on the footprint for the adult, the unvented sponsors, we are starting in a bad place to york

a lot of sub-organizations around country have been working this job, trafficking issues for the past seven years, we know the american people, are going to help us out. apparently it's an inability to see something that is not right, whether it's a child in the workplace or a child or an adult that doesn't seem a right. as american people we should step up and take notice. one phone call out of a thousand safes a child from sex trafficking, that is want life saved so it is going to be a daunting task but we are going to do everything we can. >> kellyanne: i appreciate you talking about that because in the first term we worked together, the left constantly criticized us that these children and many of their parents are trying to escape injustices in their home country and come here and you are telling the children who came here, may have been brought here

by a coyote, folks who god for that harm them in some way and we don't even know what is happening to them when they are here? it's difficult to justify this that somehow they escaped a tough circumstance and now we as a nation, the riches most powerful nation, cannot find these kids. is there something going on beyond the incompetence and the epidemic of just looking the other way from the biden-harris administration? or do you think there's something more systemic happening here that these kids are dismissing? >> look we know half a million children were traffic kick -- traffic into this country. isis found many of these children in factories cleaning up chemtrail's, we found some liberal predators.

the biggest shock is the secretary, onstage bragging about how quick they take these children and release them, a record case. the only thing they are concerned about is the optics of this historic immigration crisis. there is no overcrowding, there's nothing to see here. that is why the release these children, stop the dna testing, under trump administration we had a dna test to be had everybody. so we knew there was in a gang member in a household, this is an incompetence, this is by design, they see a future political benefit in all of this. do i think they meant to put children and harm's way? i don't know that but what they did is harm hundreds of children and i will tell you right now, some of these children were

never going to find, some are dead. we have to do everything we can to rescue as many as we can and get them back to their families. we will build immigration consequences later, we have to get these kids back with their families and we have to make sure that they are protected. >> kellyanne: you talked about what you would do on day one, i would like you to project forward a question, what would qualify a success to you 100 days in, one year or two years in, what is it look like to you? >> that the border secure, it won't take long we already did that once. president trump is a strong president. we're going to shut down the

cpp, bringing thousands of illegal aliens, through port of entry. they have created these programs that create a pathway which are not legal to bring aliens through the border. securing the border but also under the deportation operation, we will concentrate on public safety and national security threats, we want to arrest as many gang members and public safety threats, as many as we can especially criminal alien gangs. finally, we have to start working on these children, again it's the most difficult task but we are going to start on day one again working with private organizations, working with every american. to help us find these kids. if we find one child that is the success but i'm hoping to find as many as possible. that is the goal we want and we

are not going to stop we have four years to do this we are going to remove every public safety threat, every national security threat, every gang member, every fugitive. they will be removed by a federal judge, we have 1.7 million of them. we have a big task ahead of us but the men and women, we are going to get this done. >> kellyanne: you are calling for the private sector and we the people to help out as well, you've given us direction and granularity which is still helpful and you are telling the country, that long before joe biden had a lack of common sense, it's a life -- he was looking and allowing these kids to be harmed and come here and go missing 340,000 of them. merry christmas. let's take another story out of new york city, and a closer

look. the man accused of killing the ceo of the united health care pled not guilty, to state murder charges in the manhattan courtroom. luigi mangione is also facing federal charges and is being held in federal prison in brooklyn. where he returned after the hearing. but over the weekend a disturbing moment on "saturday night live", and i'm -- and i'm prompted round of applause broke out what his name was mentioned. -- and i'm prompted... well, here now with more is our fox news contributor. "saturday night live" is supposed to be a comedy show, but my goodness this is not even

a part of the scripted this is an audience. in manhattan blocks away from where brian thompson, the ceo of united health care, a father, a person was murdered and they are cheering this on weeks later... what you make of this? >> human beings, innocent human beings must not be killed. we do not have a problem in america where we don't execute -- excuse me where we execute too many. the problem we have is that we are not holding people accountable." enough. if you don't like what your insurance company is doing, if you don't like what your bank is doing, we as americans, want to send this clear signal. you do not kill people over these kinds of disputes. if you are writing on the subway, you don't light up

someone and watch them burn. we absolutely need donald trump and others who recognize the crime wave that we are experiencing must stop. progressives have been green lighting this and it is no surprise, that during the show like "saturday night live", otherwise seemingly normal people would cheer at the name of a brutal vicious killer. the best thing we can do is as rapidly as possible, figure out how to have this trial and move him to the execution chamber, so he can be buried under the jail. >> kellyanne: joe biden will be commuting that. let's stay on the public for a moment, because luigi mangione's lawyer is arguing he did not get a fair trial, the guys in the

same city where he murdered someone allegedly, that plus all the people stopped and took pictures and videos of the woman who lost her life because of this illegal migrant will let -- light her on fire instead of trying to help her or get the authorities. what is wrong with people? the depravity towards human life should concern us all. there is always cold-blooded killers out there but what about the rest of us what is going wrong? >> it's actually a cultural nightmare, and you are right, it's this descent as i station to what we are seeing, these horrendous crimes. i cannot even imagine watching somebody being burned alive and not trying to help them. i cannot even imagine pulling out your phone and taking photographs of that are pulling on video.

also with luigi mangione, listen to his lawyer, she talks about him like he's a 15-year-old boy. he is a 26-year-old executioner. he is in executioner, he destroyed an entire family's life, he took someone's life, execution-style, united health care worker ceo brian thompson, in the middle of the street in front of everyone, as in executioner, he knew what he was doing. this is because we have a culture of victims, people that play victims, they also think they are winning in a video game, i like the way you described that. where they blame everybody else for their problems, look if you have an issue, with united health care, then you take it to the court, you dispute that legally, you do not commit murder! sadly we are raising a lot of children to feel like they are victims about everything and they think they can do whatever they want. sadly we see this with luigi mangione thousand adult men now

saying, i'm going to do whatever i want, i'm going to go out there and take somebody's life, of course he's going to have a fair trial . look at what went on with "snl", by the way his lawyer karen, even addressed in the same outfit as him when they when the court. -- when they went into court. i don't know what she's trying to say, at this is a grown man who should pay the price and actually there should be an example set for the rest of america and we should take a long, hard look at how we raise our children and how we talked to our children as they grow up and how they become responsible adults. once you turned 18, that is that! you are responsible for yourself and your actions. you are no longer a child and if we don't turn our culture around, it is not going to be a nightmare just for the lady on the subway and of course for the ceo and his family and what we are seeing across the board, is going to flip america upside down, where we are

watching the spread across the globe. we need to get back the common sense and this is unacceptable. >> kellyanne: i feel like common sense is on the ballot this time as with strength over weakness. people just want resolute leadership where the rules are the rules and they are enforced and people who do bad things are punished. if you look at the mandate that president trump has coming out of the selection, what piece of that is not just the border, not just -- but really the policing? the drugs, crime, trafficking, what you see as his mandate there from the american people because the left thought it was going to be abortion! >> accountability is coming. this president mr. biden, it just said to some of the most vicious bloodthirsty killers on

death row that he was going to let them live out their life and have taxpayers pay for them. the incoming president is sending a different signal. you will not assault, you will not murder, you will not go to elementary school and drop off cocaine or crack were other things, on the campaign trail, donald trump said if you are delivering hard-core drugs, two children, you ought to get the death penalty and i agree. i repeat, the problem in this country is not that we execute too many people, the problem is most people never believe that there will be countability. thank god that donald trump is coming in and he is going to return us to a world where

people understand. just as sarah said, do you have a disputes with the insurance company? handle it in court, there is no killing people or lighting people up on the subway, we need to as a society eradicates and i call on "the new york times", i call on msnbc, and a number of these liberal propaganda agents to stop normalizing this behaviour. >> kellyanne: wise words from both of you on a day that joe biden commuted death row, it's unbelievable. thank you both, coming up donald trump is vowing to keep transgendered athletes out of women's sports, we will tell you what he said, next on this special edition of hannity.

the transgender lunacy. i will sign executive orders to end child mutilation, get it out of our schools and we will keep men out of women's sports. under the trump administration, it will be the official policy of the united states government that there are only two genders, male and female. >> kellyanne: joining us now for reaction host of the podcast , along with fox news contributor, lisa, lisa at this point who can disagree? it was a straightforward common sense talk of no men and women sports, don't let 14-year-olds agree to chop off body parts, who was a left on the left?

>> thank god for this fraternity sanity as a country, thank you donald trump for standing up to children, what does it say about our society? mutilating children? no amount of surgery will make a man a woman or a woman a man yet we have done this to children, we have given children puberty blockers that have been given to sex offenders to castrate them and we call it gender-affirming care? there is nothing caring about it, it is child abuse. we fails as a society. -- we failed as a society, it is up to us as adults to protect the children and protect the future. thank you donald trump, you are appreciated and right. >> kellyanne: i'm a mom of four girls and obviously ran for

governor of michigan, you know politics, you talk to other parents, you know the schools, what can we expect from states like michigan where trump just one and in a large because are rejecting being woke, will these states follow suit of what president trump is promising at the federal level? >> that is what the people of the state of michigan want. i think we still have some legislators that will be pushing back. her legislators have asked her to come out and support radical bills and she has not said anything so i think democrats are in a situation where they don't know how to handle a donald trump being a unity president. he has brought people together from all sides of the aisle from both sides of the aisle, he has brought rfk in he was looking at what is healthy and this is simply unhealthy, there is nobody that can argue that this is healthy right now. other countries, european nations have said, we are not

doing this anymore, it's not safe, it's not good for our kids, and to lisa's point the folks we have talked to who d transitioned, is not just the fact that they had cut off, they were mutilated. i have been through a surgery, i don't will look like i was butchered, anybody especially a parent and me as a mother of four girls would look at this and say, we will not let another young woman go through such a horrific experience. >> kellyanne: it seems like common sense, you have people who are basically making joyful noises about working together, parents right renaissance, will that continue? a comment from each of you, lisa. >> yes, it has to, we have to put -- we need to follow suit as a country as well.
