if tommy is a libertarian, then i'm joe biden's third son, who also got a pardon. pete from marietta, california. you should have asked tommy if he would endorse liz cheney for president. it's too soon. donna from north little rock, arkansas. the fired die employees could always go work for ice. brad from pittsburgh, pennsylvania, dies. new pronouns are was, were. that's good. frank from austin, texas. i started crying watching stephen miller tonight. is it really happening? it's happening. mass deportations are here. it's all for tonight. dvr the show. hannity has donald trump up next. and always remember, i'm watters and this is my world. >> you stated that you will

release the files, all of the files, as it relates to the jfk assassination. the moment you walked back in this office, this desk, this room, your carpet. how do you feel? >> well. >> it was a lot of work. >> do you believe that moment? people say to me, they see a change in you. do you believe you've changed? is this, for example, increased your faith in god? yes. all these people, the biden family members, joe biden ran and said he would never do preemptive pardons. it was an issue that came up when you were leaving your. >> first term. he thought he heard that i was going to do. i didn't want to do it. i was given the option. >> and welcome to hannity and buckle up for a very special show. after four long years, president donald trump is back where he belongs. he is in the oval office. earlier, the president, he did welcome us into the white house for an exclusive first interview in front of the resolute desk. mr.

president. >> thank you. >> welcome back. >> thank you very much. >> let's talk about the moment you walked back in this office, this desk, this room, your carpet. how do you feel? >> well, it was a lot of work. and as you know, i felt that we shouldn't have had to necessarily be here. could have been done. a lot of work. could have been. it would have been over. we wouldn't have inflation. we wouldn't have had the afghanistan disaster. we wouldn't have october 7th with israel, with so many people were killed, and you wouldn't have a ukraine war going on. but with all that being said, i think it's bigger. it's bigger than if it were more traditional. >> only the second time in history. yeah. somebody didn't have consecutive terms. >> yeah, well, they say it's historically bigger. i don't know about that, but i can say it showed us a couple of things. it showed us that the

radical left, their philosophies and policies are horrible. they don't work. you look at crime, you look at what's gone on in the border. you look at what's going to happen, the crime, i mean, the crime that's going to happen. but i think we got there just in the nick of time. but we still have you cover it better than anybody. we have terrorists in our country by the thousands. we have murderers in our country by the tens of thousands. we have numbers that came out of 11,000 people that murdered are now free and walking around in our country. and of them, i think 48%, they say, killed more than one person. and they're walking around. they came out of jails from other countries and, you know, people, they've emptied their jails. i would if i were the president or prime minister or something of another country, i'd empty my jails right into america, into the united states. why not? and many of them did it. if you look at venezuela, their crime rate is down now, 78% because

they took their street gangs and they moved them into the united states. and you're seeing that in colorado and los angeles and other places, and we're going to take care of it. >> so did biden really say to you when you came up the to the front of the white house, welcome home? >> no. did somebody say that. >> i read it somewhere? >> i don't. >> know, maybe. >> he did. i really don't know. >> so you left him a letter? it was funny with peter doocy. and peter said, oh, mr. president, did joe biden leave you a letter? did he? he did leave you a letter. he did. and you had left him one. but you've never disclosed either one of them. >> well, a lot of people. >> that would be a great time. >> you know, it was interesting. a lot of people thought it was sort of like a setup with peter doocy and myself. and i have a lot of respect for peter, but he just asked me a question about the letter, and then i remembered that, you know, it's like a custom. you leave it right in the drawer of that beautiful desk, right alongside of us. and so i opened it up, and i actually gave the letter to

peter. >> and did he? he got to read it. >> i guess i don't i haven't. >> you don't. >> know if he read it. i just sent it to him a little while ago. >> all right. before we get into. there's so much substance. you are inheriting a lot of problems, a lot of things that actually scare me. and i want to get to all of that. but i want to. and i will get to all of that. >> they're all solvable problems. >> i agree. >> they're all solvable. >> not easy. >> with time, effort, money, unfortunately, but they're all solvable problems. we can get our country back. but if we didn't win this race, i really believe our country would have been lost forever. >> were there moments? i mean, when you think of what they threw at you and i know you, you signed this declaration about no more weaponization. and we know that the preemptive pardons came up on joe's way out. but you were facing a civil trial, a criminal trial, conviction, sentencing jack

smith, dc, florida. fani willis, i mean, you you fought through all of that to get back right here in this office. what people don't know is over there. there's a little red button you push, you scare people. people think it's the nuclear button, but it's really, you know. something else. it's something. you use it for a different purpose. but the question i have was, at any point, did you doubt you would be back here? >> so it's a great question. it's something i don't think about. i never really thought about it. i don't think about, gee, will i be back? i just do it. i get it done, i get things done. i'm good at getting things done. and i set my mind to it. as you know, we had a great election in 2016. i had a much better election in 2020, and if i didn't have that election, i wouldn't have run. if i thought that i didn't get the number of votes. and it was reported that i got almost 75

million votes, and that was their numbers. that wasn't the numbers, that was their numbers. that was more than anybody has gotten in history. any sitting president had ever gotten. and you lost. had i got gotten like 50 million or 40 million or 60 million, i would never have run. but that was like a poll. so but i had a different attitude. too big to rig. >> poll came out just in the last 24 hours by insider advantage. that's matt towery. he nailed 2016, 2020 and 2024. great pollster as you know. right. and he gave you a 56% approval rating. he also said of congress, and i had a town hall with members of congress last night that that 70% of respondents want congress to unite behind your agenda. >> i watched that show. it was a great show, and you had some great people in the background. i know every one of them, and they're really patriots. i just

saw the love, you know, as the speaker who was doing a terrific job. the speaker is answering questions, and i saw the like, the acknowledgment and the love they had. and those are tough people behind him. you know, these are not easy people. >> there are others that are tougher. >> i said, well, i don't know. this is a tough group. if they want to be, they're not nobody much tougher, but they're very unified. i think they're going to do a great job. >> they have a small majority. you went through over 200 since we've got here, and we have breaking news today that we'll get to in a minute. and especially as it relates to the border and some other issues. and but you're going to need to do some of these things legislatively. how you, you will probably play the largest role in uniting them both in the house and senate reconciliation. the senate has very strict, you know, rules governing how they can do it. do you? one big, beautiful bill, two bills. do you care at this point? >> i don't care as long as we

get to the final answer. i like the concept of the one bill. i guess i said one big beautiful. and that's what everyone actually, it's sort of a nice sound to it, but i do like that concept. it could be something else. it could be a smaller bill and a big bill. but as long as we get to the right answer now, i will say that los angeles has changed everything, because a lot of money is going to be necessary for los angeles, and a lot of people on the other side want that to happen. >> and north carolina too. >> well, they don't care about north carolina. the democrats don't care about north carolina. what they've done with fema is so bad. fema is a whole nother discussion because all it does is complicate everything. fema has not done their job for the last four years. you know, i had fema working really well. we had hurricanes in florida. we had alabama tornadoes. we had. but unless you have certain types of leadership, it's really it gets in the way. and fema is

going to be a whole big discussion very shortly, because i'd rather see the states take care of their own problems. if they have a tornado someplace. and if they let that state. oklahoma is very competent. i love oklahoma, 77 out of 77 districts, and that's never been done before. i did it three times. i mean, think of it three times. never been done. ronald reagan had the record 5656 out of 77. i got 77 out of 77. so you have to love a place like that. i love oklahoma, but you know what? if they get hit with a tornado or something, let oklahoma fix it. you don't need and then the federal government can help them out with the money. well, do the fema is getting in the way of everything. and the democrats actually use fema not to help north carolina. >> it makes no sense. >> so i'm stopping on friday. i'm stopping in north carolina. first stop, because those people were treated very badly by democrats. and i'm stopping

there. we're going to get that thing straightened out because they're still suffering from a hurricane from months ago. and then i'm going to then i'm going to go to california. >> i'll go to will you meet with gavin? >> i don't know, i haven't even thought about it. look, gavin's got one thing he can do. he can release the water that comes from the north. there is massive amounts of water, rainwater and mountain water that comes due with the snow comes down when as it melts, there's so much water. they're releasing it into the pacific ocean. and i told him for it's a political thing for the democrats. >> i played the tape. you said it to him in front of him in 2018. >> i said it to him in front of the media and everything else, and nobody talks about it. the media never picks it up. you pick, you put it out. i was so happy to see that tape because some people said, is that possible? they have they have water coming down from the pacific northwest, a lot of water, so much water that they'd have to let some of it go at some point. they don't

need reservoirs, they don't need any. they're spending all this money on these reservoirs and they're fake reservoirs. you know, they're. >> the reservoirs were empty, the hydrants didn't work. and they're not practicing the science of forestry, which. >> is sprinklers didn't work in the homes because they had nowhere to think of it. we have sprinklers. think of it with no water. they didn't have any water. the fire hydrants. yeah. hard to believe the place has sprinklers. it's nice, but you don't want to lose this office. by the way, how do you like it? >> it's. well, i'm glad. it's great to be back. i'm not going to lie. >> you know, i've had the biggest people in the world come here. >> yeah. >> and they come into the oval office and they just look and. and they want time to look. they're looking around. george washington, abe, honest abe. >> one day, maybe we can do a tour. we had a conversation, and maybe i shouldn't disclose this, but i will. and it was after the 2020 election, and you asked me a question. and

we've known each other for 30 years. so we have a friendship and we have a professional relationship. and the question you asked me, maybe in the end it will be better that if i came back in four years and we talked about history after world war ii, winston churchill was thrown out. but they brought him back. grover cleveland is the only other american president that did not serve consecutive terms. and my answer to you was, i thought it would be bigger if you came back. >> it's turning out to be bigger. and i think one thing is happening is people are learning that they can't govern and that their policies are terrible. i mean, they don't want to see a woman get pummeled by a man in a boxing ring. no, they don't want to see men in women's sports in. otherwise they don't want to see them, and they don't want to have transgender for everyone. they don't want a child leave home as a boy and come back two days later as a

girl. a parent doesn't want to see that. and there are states where that can happen. they don't want to see taxes go through the roof. like, this is the only group of people that want to raise your taxes. they say, we want to raise your taxes. you know, if they don't work with us on the trump tax cuts, extending that would mean it would go back to the taxes. we've got the largest tax cut in history. that would mean the taxes would go up more than any tax hike in the history of our country. and normally you'd say that's got to be the easiest negotiation in history, because if they did that, how could they ever win an election? but they'll fight us on that. they fight us on things. it's incredible. >> here. i ran. >> into use common sense. in my opinion. the democrats don't use common sense. >> and common sense won the day in the election. >> yeah, but you know, the amazing thing i'm watching now, now it's time. and, you know, a few months have passed and the election is over and you see what happened. and it was a rout. i won all seven swing states that we won by millions

of votes. the popular vote millions. and nobody can even believe some of the numbers. and how about with african-americans, with hispanics, with with everything. how well we did. nobody can believe the numbers. how about with youth? i won youth by 36 points. now, maybe that's because i went on tiktok. i don't know, but i'm starting to have a very warm. >> stock is going to be sold, right? >> i think tiktok is going to be. >> people like senator. >> people want to buy it. people want. >> to buy it. but those that say they know say it's a spying app for the communist chinese. >> so but you can say that about everything made in china. look, we have our telephones made in china for the most part. we have so many things made in china. so why don't they mention that? you know. >> let me get. >> to the interesting thing with tiktok, though, is you're dealing with a lot of young people, so. >> they love it. >> is it that important for china to be spying on young people, on young kids, watching crazy videos, on things? >> i don't want china spying on anybody. >> no, no, but but but they make your telephones and they make your computers and they

make a lot of other things. isn't that a bigger threat? >> i'm sure that will be part of your discussions with president xi, which i'm going to talk about in a moment. let me go to the border. we do have breaking news today. i ran into tom homan as i was walking in today, and so far, 308 total arrests, 296 detained detainee, and the first deployment of military assets to the u.s. border. the deployment includes active duty troops and the national guard. and here's my biggest fear and concern beyond the iranian assassination squads is we now know 14 million. we don't know how many got aways, we don't know the total number. but we have known terrorists in our country. we have known murderers, rapists. we have violent criminals, cartel members, gang members. now, i would imagine if you came from iran and syria and egypt and afghanistan and russia and china and venezuela,

you didn't come here because you want a better life for your children. i would imagine those known terrorists are planning an attack on our homeland at a moment's notice. you're going to be in this desk, maybe sitting at this desk or maybe up in the residence, and they're going to call you down in the situation room because our homeland is under attack. i would like to be wrong, but when you have known terrorists, you have to believe that they are going to they are going to attack our homeland. that would change their trajectory, that moment of your entire presidency that has to weigh on you. >> yeah, it could be. and i know i've watched you for a lot of years, and you actually make one statement before you say that, you say 100% certain i do. that's a pretty big statement. >> and then i say, i pray to god i'm wrong. >> yeah, i hope you're wrong too. and i won't comment, but i tend to agree with you. it depends. we'll see what happens. look, we have a lot of great people right now, a lot of great, great people on this

situation. this was a gross miscarriage of common sense to allow people to come in. and i believe the number is 21 million people, and a large percentage of them are criminals all over the world. this is not just south america. this isn't you know, we talk venezuela. that's a big abuser. but these are countries from. >> iran. >> the congo, the countries that you don't even think of. the congo has emptied their prisons out into the united states. we're not thinking about the congo. we're thinking about south america. it's much more than south america. but prisons from all over the world have been emptied out into our country by biden allowing it to happen. i don't even know if he knew what the hell was going on, but but who would want this? i always say to people, you know, you always like to understand. like in a business, you want to understand the other side. why do they want something? you know? et cetera. et cetera. and you figure it out. and there's usually an answer. almost always. i don't understand why does somebody

want open borders where. and they say the vote. but i did well with the hispanic vote. if you're looking at hispanic, they say they do it because they want to think they're going to stay in power. it's going to be better for democrats. i don't really believe that. besides that, they cheat so much. they don't have to do that. they cheat so well. they're very good at cheating. the only thing they're good at really is cheating. but here's the thing i ask, why would somebody say that open borders are good, where jails and mental institutions from other countries and gang members right off the streets of the toughest cities in the world, are being brought to the united states of america and emptied out into our country. why would anybody that even likes you? you don't have to love our country. you have to like it. why would anybody that likes our country? the democrats allow that to happen. and even now i watch them on television. they're trying to justify it. you can't justify it. the only reason it can be is two reasons. you're stupid. and i don't think they're stupid. i

think anybody that cheats that much and that, well is not stupid. you're either stupid or you hate the country. those are the only two reasons, sean, who would ask for open borders with people pouring in, some of whom i won't get into it, but you can look at them and you can say, could be trouble. could be trouble. there are people coming in. >> are people with gang tattoos on. >> there are people coming in with tattoos all over their face. their entire face is covered with tattoos. >> but identifies. >> typically, you know, he's not going to be the head of the local bank. >> part two of my exclusive interview with the president only moments away. stay with us as we continue from the white house. >> all hands on deck. >> sometimes justice isn't black and white. >> i want to win here. no different than you might reel them in. >> justice. >> real justice. >> that's a glorious thing.

free trial today at stamps.com. >> in less than 48 hours, president trump granted more access to the press than his predecessor did in four long years. here's part two of our exclusive interview. what do you do? sanctuary states by definition, or sanctuary cities. they're aiding and abetting in the law breaking okay, they're going to get federal funds. would you. >> will you get rid of. and we're trying to end them. and a lot of the people in those communities don't want them.

you know, california is a big example. >> cut off their money. >> i might have to do that sometimes. that's the only thing you can do. look, california is a great example of it. if you actually poll the people, they don't want sanctuary cities, but gavin newsom does, and these radical left politicians do. and, you know, if you asked him why they couldn't even i watched gavin newsom try to answer that question. he was unable to even answer. he looked like an idiot. he was unable to answer. i asked him one other question. why is it that you don't want millions of gallons of water a day pouring throughout california? you know, the farmland in california is, they say, the equivalent of iowa. great land, but it's got no water. and you sit there and it's literally you can see it burning. it's on flame. sure. all they need is water and they have big farmland. and i asked him why. how is it possible that you're not allowing this water? they diverted out to the pacific ocean, where it drops into the ocean. and you know what it's like. it's like nothing to the pacific ocean.

it's like. it's like two glasses of water. it's nothing. millions of gallons of water is diverted way up north in california into the pacific ocean. that water, you know, they have the pipes in there. it's half pipes. you see them all the time? half pipes. people live in those half pipes now, you know, they have homeless living in those half pipes. but this is water that millions of gallons of water a week and a day in some cases, you know, depending on the flow, so much water, they wouldn't know what to do with it. your sprinklers would be filled. they can even remember when i took criticism because i said, you have to manage. you manage your forests. the head of a country that lives in forests, a number of them, actually. finland told me this. austria told me this. the head of austria, head of finland. and it was beautiful the way they expressed it. they said,

we live in a forest. we are a forest nation. that's beautiful, isn't it? to say that we have trees that are the most magnificent in the world, far more beautiful than what they have in california, and much more flammable, he said. we don't have forest fires. we manage our forests. >> you can get a degree in forestry. >> well, they'll do cuts. yeah, can you imagine? but you don't need much. you have to clean the floors of the forest. you know, when they had forests. i go to see some of the sites i watched in california. they use billions of dollars of money. and they do, you know, i mean, look at what happened in los angeles. this is like a nuclear weapon went off. what's happened to los angeles? and, you know, that thing went for 4 or 5 days. nobody was even fighting it because they didn't have any water. their fire departments aren't funded properly. and the firefighters were brave as hell. they were fighting without water. i mean, they turn on a fire hydrant, there's no water that comes out

and they're sitting and the fires are rushing at them at 30, 40 miles an hour. those firefighters were brave. what what happened to that state is incredible. and then you listen to i remember when ron desantis and gavin newsom were debating on your show. and newsom's talking like everything's great. oh, everything's great, just great. just great. more people left california this year than ever have left in history before the fire. but look at it. take a look. and you know the amazing thing? these are wealthy people. many wealthy people lost their homes. i saw somebody on television, one of the wealthiest people, one of the most powerful people in the country, being interviewed as though he were a vagrant. his shirt was. and you have to know him. he's a mean, horrible human being. he's a tough guy, very tough guy, a horrible person, but he's very rich. >> and very rich. but he's a horrible person. >> he's a horrible human being.

i know you have rich people that are very nice, but this guy's a terrible person. so i say, that's so and so. i said to melanie, i said, look at it. they were interviewing him as a guy that lost his house. he said, they took my house away and he's literally in his underwear and his t-shirt. it looked like he just got out of the bedroom. and i say, that's one of the wealthiest guys in the country. look at this guy. take a look at somebody. i'll tell you the name, maybe after the interview, but you won't even believe it. but he was on television and as somebody that. and he was complaining they wouldn't let him go to his house, which was on fire. they wouldn't let him go because, you know, they don't want him to die. no. some of the wealthiest, most powerful people lost their homes. and it looked like our country was helpless. this fire was just raging. and then it would catch to another era. another era, another era. there was nothing. it took a week and a half and i've never seen anything like

it. we look so weak. >> will you give? obviously, americans want to help other americans in need. okay. fair enough. we do that. we got to help the people in north carolina. they've been suffering. well. >> you know, that's what i want to do. that's why i'm stopping there. first. >> are you going to stop in california? >> i'm stopping in. >> north carolina. the money be contingent on on them practicing the science of forestry. >> well, i think this i'm going to put a statement out today, i think, and maybe it's already written. i said, i don't think we should give california anything until they let water flow down into their. >> from the north to the south. >> this is a political thing. i don't know what it is. you know, they talk about the delta smelt. it's a little tiny fish like this. i went out, they say it's an endangered species. well, how is it endangered? no wonder it's endangered. it's not getting any water. how do you. if you have a fish and you're stopping the water, isn't it going to hurt the fish? >> i did a show in 2009 from the san joaquin valley, devin nunes district. right. and they wouldn't give thousands of acres of farmland water to

protect that. >> by the way, you see that now? i drove up the highway. i was with devin nunes and other republican congressmen, and i looked at these vast areas of land and it looked like it was just burning. it was dark, it was dry. and then there'd be a little patch, a little tiny patch of green, beautiful green. and i'd say, how come all this land has these little patches? they said, that's all that we're allowed to farm because we have no water. i said, are you having a drought? no. they've turned off the water. they've turned off the spigot from up north in order to protect the delta smelt. >> let me move on. >> to the. and by the way, i don't really believe it's the delta smelt because nobody could do that. >> just. well. >> it's not endangered either. they have it in other locations. et cetera. >> they're doing seemingly everything they could do, like new york is in many ways to chase people away. >> no, but can you imagine today it's crazy when people and the press doesn't like when i talk about the water that they're turning into the

pacific. the press never wants to put it on the fake news. they don't want to put it on. sean. >> you do realize that you have permanently tattooed into the forehead of legacy media the term fake news. you do realize they spent nine years, nine years attacking you from the moment you came down that escalator and they didn't stop. and here's the interesting part to me is that all of the attacks, all the weaponization, all the fisa warrants, all the russia, russia and we can go on all the various venues, the j6 committee, which kept out a lot of pertinent. >> information about the j6 committee. i say i call it the unselect. you know, they say. >> oh, they didn't win. >> no, no, no, what they did was criminal. that's why they got pardoned. >> no. >> they deleted and destroyed all of the information that they collected. >> or would they need a pardon. >> and you know why? because

they proved i was right. all of that information was deleted and destroyed. they deleted all of the information having to do with the 10,000 soldiers that i offered to nancy pelosi. and she's now. >> on tape. admitting it. i have four of the five people on tape, and general milley was the fifth in writing, all saying that you authorized it in the days leading up, the capitol police chief asked for the guard was begging for the guard. muriel bowser, in writing, denied the use of the guard. >> but nancy. pelosi was more strongly denied it. >> she said that. >> she was responsible. >> for it, took responsibility. >> she was responsible, and she took responsibility for her daughter. when it was exposed, they found the daughter's tape, a videotape of her mother saying that she was responsible. and you know what? and they tried to lose it. >> but let me move on. >> to the unselect. remember this, the unselect committee, these people that were appointed all democrats plus two worse than democrats, that's crying, adam kinzinger

and liz cheney, who lost her congressional seat by more than any person in the history of congress. she lost by a number that nobody has ever lost by. you know why? because usually when you have a poll and you're down by like 40 or 50 points, you're smart enough to drop out, she should have dropped out. at least she wouldn't have that moniker. >> before i go to the economy and foreign policy, let me. as long as you brought up this topic, joe biden, chuck schumer, adam schiff, who got a preemptive pardon, all these people that got pardoned, anthony fauci, did he know that nih money through the ecohealth alliance was funding the wuhan virology lab? there seems to be texts and messages and emails that went back and forth. the you talk about the unselect committee, as you call it, the january 6th committee. they had a predetermined outcome. general milley, all these people, the biden family members, joe biden ran and said

he would never do preemptive pardons. it was an issue that came up when you were leaving your first term. >> he thought he heard that i was going to do. i didn't want to do it. i was given the option. they said, sir, would you like to pardon everybody, including yourself? i said, i'm not going to pardon anybody. we didn't do anything wrong. and we had people that suffered. they're incredible patriots. we had people that suffered. you had bannon put in jail. you had peter navarro put in jail. you had people that suffered and far worse than that, they've lost their fortunes. they've lost their whatever, their nest egg, paying it to lawyers and those people and people said, and they don't even they wouldn't have even taken most of those people. they wouldn't have even taken apart. this guy went around giving everybody pardons. and, you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing is he didn't give himself a pardon. and if you look at

it, it all had to do with him. i mean, the money went to him. >> should congress investigate that? >> well, i don't know. it's you know. >> you ordered the doj. >> i've always been. look, he didn't give himself a pardon and he didn't give some other people a pardon that needed it. and i heard schiff went to him and just begged him for a pardon because schiff is a crook. schiff is a crooked guy. he's a crooked politician. he made up the story about russia, russia, russia totally made it up. you know, he's a storyteller. and then after he made it up, they found out that there was a tape of the conversation made by, you know, i guess the state department, i don't know, when you make calls, they make tapes sometimes, not all the time. >> he was the one talking to the russians. >> so he in the meantime, made up the conversation. totally made it up about quid pro quo. there was no quid pro quo. just the there was a perfect call. tim scott was the first one to come. he read it. he said this is a perfect call. what are you

doing? you're in. you're impeaching a man for a perfect call. it was schiff. schiff, hillary, the whole group. you know what they should. schiff is just a bad. sick guy. and he went to biden and he demanded a pardon because he thought he did something he knew he did. >> thompson wanted one. the chairman of that committee. >> bennie thompson. destroyed, destroyed along with that unselect committee, destroyed all of the work that took place over two years. you know why it showed that i was right. >> we're back with the 45th and 47th president of the united states right after the break. >> ge ivanova, powers america every day as the leading american energy manufacturer, we've never stopped building the technologies that drive today's economy and define the

future of energy. we know an abundant, independent and secure energy system starts here at home. it's why we're investing millions in american manufacturing and creating thousands of new jobs. together, we will lead a new era of energy for america and the world. ge ivanova. >> all hands on deck. >> sometimes justice isn't black and white. >> i want to win here. no different than you might reel them in. >> justice. >> real justice. that's a glorious thing. >> long order and svu, check your local listings. there are some things that we're better together, like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. voya helps you choose the right amounts without, ove, or under investing. >> so you can feel confident. >> in your financial choices. >> foia well planned, well invested, well protected. >> hi, it's christina again. is your shower trying to tell you something is getting in and out of the bathtub becoming a safety concern? are you worried about the cost of a bathroom remodel that could go on for weeks and weeks? well, now you

roof tuneup for free with your roof max treatment. >> welcome back to hannity, and here is more of our exclusive white house oval office interview with president donald j. trump. so you did run on a platform. you were very straightforward. you said you would pardon these people that were sentenced for january 6th. >> yeah, totally. >> you did. the only criticism or pushback i've seen is about people that were convicted or were involved in incidents where they were violent with

police. why did they get a pardon? >> a number of reasons. number one, they were in there for three and a half years, a long time, and in many solitary confinement, treated like nobody's ever been treated so badly. they were treated like the worst criminals in history. and you know what they were there for? they were protesting the vote because they knew the election was rigged and they were protesting the vote, and that you should be allowed to protest a vote. you should be allowed to, you know, the day when the day comes. >> you shouldn't be able to invade the capital. >> ready? most of the people were absolutely innocent. okay. but forgetting all about that, these people have served horribly a long time. it would be very, very cumbersome to go and look. you know how many people are talking about 1500 people? almost all of them are. should not have been there should not have happened. and the other thing is this some of those people with the police. true. but they were very minor

incidents. okay. you know, they get built up by that couple of fake guys that are on cnn all the time. >> nobody watches. >> they were very minor incidents, and it was time. you have murderers in philadelphia. you have murderers in los angeles that don't even get any time. they don't even collect them, and they know they're there to be collected. and then they they go on television and act holier than thou about this one or that one. you had 1500 people that suffered. that's a lot of people. do you know, they were looking for new people two weeks ago. they were looking, wait a minute. they were looking to charge new people. they have a woman who's 76 years old that they said was made a statement that was a little bit out of line years after the fact. this was a political hoax. and you know what? those people and i'm not saying in every single case,

but there was a lot of patriotism with those people, a lot of patriots, you know, they did a recording and, you know, they asked me if i'd do the voiceover, and i did. do you know, it was the number one selling whatever you call it nowadays album, whatever song, cd, whatever you call it, you don't know, it changes every year, right? but, but it was the number one selling song, number one on billboard, number one on everything. on everything for so long. people get it. they wanted to see those people. >> people where you told them what you would do. >> joe biden voted. >> for him. joe biden said he would not do it. let me move on to the economy because it's so important. it was such a big just. yeah. >> i was very clear about it. very clear. i said i was going to release him and probably very quickly. and they voted for me and i won in a landslide. and that was only one of the many. >> reasons he said he would not do preemptive pardons. back in 2020, chuck schumer said it.

schiff said it. they all said it. the media said it. >> the precedent that he said on pardons is amazing. that's a much bigger story, but people don't like talking about it. he he pardoned everybody, but he didn't pardon himself. and remember this, those people that he pardoned are now mandated because they got a pardon to testify. and they can't take the fifth. >> should congress investigate that? >> i think we'll let congress decide. >> would you want the attorney general to investigate it? >> you know, i was always against that with presidents and hillary clinton. i could have had hillary clinton a big number done on her. >> have you changed. >> your mind? i didn't want to. well, i went through four years of hell by this scum that we had to deal with. i went through four years of hell. i spent millions of dollars in legal fees, and i won. but i did it the hard way. it's really hard to say that they shouldn't have to go through

it. also, it is very hard to say that joe biden remember this. joe biden got very bad advice because, like he has in everything. hunter's life, he got bad advice on ukraine. he got bad advice that war should have never started. he got bad advice on israel. he got bad advice on the way he got out of afghanistan. we should have gotten out with strength and dignity. not not like a bunch of losers. joe biden has very bad advisers. somebody somebody advised joe biden to give pardons to everybody but him. they wanted to. take care of economy. yeah, but sean, they wanted to i don't care. >> they're yelling at me. >> this is more important because right now the economy is going to do great. >> i want to know. >> i'm here. so the economy. but you have to understand, he had bad advisers on on almost everything. it's like in the old days when the secretary of state said he never made a correct decision on foreign policy. joe biden got very bad advice. >> you've been through. you had two would be assassins. you

came within a millimeter of losing your life in this whole process. i know you kind of are somebody that compartmentalizes because i've known you so long, but do you ever think and you said this in your inaugural, that you really believe god saved your life so that this was your destiny? explain that. >> well, i do believe that i've had people that really know a lot about guns. and they said that gun, that particular gun and that beautiful field, as i called it in pennsylvania, which it is. butler, that that gun is a very accurate gun and that a bad shooter would hit the target 100% of the time. >> you can't miss. >> from that distance. yeah. from that distance. i mean, to me, i didn't know i don't know as much about it. they said it's like for a golfer sinking a one foot putt from that distance. and my son don and my son, both of them, eric,

they're great shooters. both of them are great shooters. and they said it's amazing. it's a miracle. i think it affected them because they can't believe that that happened. i turned if i didn't turn it, you know, the turn was like split second. perfect timing. so something happened. and i don't think you can call it just luck. it was the chance was like one eighth of a second or we wouldn't be sitting here and think of it in a volume of time, one eighth of a second i was in the right position. >> do you believe that moment? people say to me, they see a change in you. do you believe you've changed? is this, for example, increased your faith in god? >> yes, i think so. i don't think i've changed, but i think that has taken place. yeah, because when you look at statistically, it's i should never be here. i mean that if i don't turn my i'm looking at an

immigration chart, my favorite chart ever in history, even it was a bad even if the numbers were bad, i would like. >> i mean, we're talking about assassination and you're telling jokes. >> no, no. >> can you believe it's terrible? no. i remember that day. >> like when i, when i turned and it had to be at exactly 90 degree angle and i said, throw down the chart or something to that effect. and they bring the chart. and i'm literally looking exactly at the right angle. i couldn't have even been a little further or a little bit less. it would have whacked because it was an eighth of an inch. the entire ride was an eighth of an inch. >> will you investigate these assassination attempts? and you stated that you will release the files, all of the files, as it relates to the jfk assassination? and by the way, this this is his desk. >> yeah. >> that's right. this is it. this is where john kennedy, little john. movable door. yeah. >> it's a little door there. that's where john john was. >> john. john. yeah. and rfk and also martin luther king jr. and that you will be

transparent. this was going to happen in the first. >> many people have asked me to do that. and i did. i did it with kennedy to an extent. but i was asked by some of our government officials not to. and, you know, you have to respect them. i was actually asked by mike pompeo, who was secretary of state, not to, and he i felt he knew something that maybe, you know, when he asked you not to, you sort of say why. and he felt that it was just not a good time to release him. and you might ask him why. maybe he'll maybe he'll deny that even. but he did. he asked me and some others also, though they didn't want the kennedy stuff released. and they're professionals and i respect them. and they're working for me and the country. they're working for the country. and so i didn't release, but i'm going to release them immediately
