looks like we found next year's halftime show. mary from pennsylvania, keeping paperwork and a mine shaft is better than an open garage. good point mary. eric from spirit lake idaho, easy on the hardworking minors. we help trump get elected but you don't store paperwork in the mind. you are actually getting pull out of there. dan from pennsylvania, i used to work at that mind, it's not a bad place. we have your texts, we want you on the show tomorrow. while you are down there, see if that's where hillary's 33 emails went. we will send johnny.

>> sean: welcome to hannity. breaking tonight, president trump just secure the release of yet another american hostage. this is the seventh u.s. citizen that is freed under donald trump. not including hostages that were released in israel by hamas. now only hours ago a teacher named mark vogel who was wrongfully imprisoned during joe biden's presidency is now a free man. he is set to appear at the white house in just a matter of minutes. we will bring it to you live. things to negotiations by donald trump and his special envoy, the united states ended up giving up nothing in exchange for his release. according to national security advisor mike waltz, this was a show of good faith from the russians and a sign that are moving in the right direction to end the brutal and terrible war in ukraine. now the democrats, the media will all be praising the president's strength to make this happen and thanking him but

seriously don't expect any accolades from the democratic party or the state run legacy media mob. democrats learned nothing after the election in november of 24 and now seemingly only care about three things. they want biological men playing women sports, they want to protect illegal immigrants who do not respect our borders, our law, our sovereignty. even though... known terrorists in our country and maybe most of all they really want to keep spending tens and hundreds of billions of your hard-earned tax dollars on radical extreme left-wing causes around the world without any audit. no accountability. the hysteria over doge and elon musk has been off the charts. just to be clear, the left is absolutely outraged that elon musk and his team working for free are rooting out waste, fraud and abuse and corruption

inside your federal government. your money be wasted, thrown down the drain instead of being spent on schools and law and order and a better country for the american people. lower taxes. this is what the american people voted for. this is what they are getting, take a look. >> the public voted -- a majority of the vote voting for president trump. we won the house and the senate. the people voted for major government reform. there should be no doubt about that. that was on the campaign. the president spoke about that at every rally. the people voted for major government reform and that's what they are going to get. and a lot of times people that don't get what they voted for but in this presidency they are going to get what they voted for and that's what democracy is all about. >> why do people hate elon musk? he's about to save two

astronauts that joe biden and kamala abandon for nearly 300 days in space. he offered the people of north carolina and tennessee star link for free because they needed the ability to communicate with others. he did the same thing for people in california after the wildfires. they have now uncovered tens of billions of dollars worth of improper payments. this includes over 100 million for dti training grants at the department of education. 9 million for central american gender assignment services in latin america from the department of agriculture. figure that one out. another 145 million in dti contracts for the department of labor, transportation, other institutions. among all -- all the other expenditures uncovered at usaid, a few years ago this organization reportedly paid for notorious al qaeda terrorists...

remember that guy, they paid for him to go to school at colorado state university. full ride complements a view the american taxpayer. take a look at your screen, today doge discovered that the paperwork for federal employees who retire is processed by hand 230 feet underground in an old limestone mine in pennsylvania. this operation requires more than 200 employees. there are something called the computers. they may want to use them. we now have something called artificial intelligence and they are working at a snail's pace. the paperwork operates on a backlog. it can take multiple months to process and we while four employees were just fired for continuing in spite of the president's order to send taxpayer dollars to hotels in new york city for illegal immigrants. fema was putting illegal

immigrants in four-star hotels in new york city. that is literally hundreds if not thousands of dollars on nights. people of north carolina forced to sleep in tents in the middle of winter. months after hurricane helene. this is all about accountability , efficiency. according to the democrats the sky is falling. one left-wing pastor literally calling for violence. i hope the secret service is paying attention against elon musk, telling his congregation we are on the verge of bloodshed and sometimes violence is necessary. we will run that for you later in the show. other democrats lashed out at president trump. maxine dexter is a famous for wanting to quote bleep donald trump. we will let you figure out the bleep. >> i've been told i have 30 seconds so i'm going to tell you that we do have to -- i don't swear in public very well but we

have to [bleep] trump. please don't tell my children that i just did that. >> apparently this is the latest talking point from the democratic party. take note, they all sound the same. >> i'm from jersey so i look a little different. [bleep] trump. >> we are going to beat -- i was going to say [bleep] but i'm not going to say that. >> [bleep] donald trump and elon musk. >> they are going to bleep donald trump. that is so inspiring and full of vision for the country. that's going to make your life better. it gets more done. democratic congresswoman presley also announcing her support for censorship. take a look. >> let me tell you something. i will take a bit of umbrage here. we are all willing to work with anyone who is serious about

doing the work on censoring the american people and advancing progress. but they are not serious. >> what kind of left-wing resistance movement would be complete without a little cringeworthy, predictable singing. join in at home. [singing] [singing] >> here is idiotic senator from connecticut chris murphy wanting to fake news cnn the death of

democracy, all because donald trump, elon musk and doge are criticizing waste, fraud, abuse, corruption and criticizing judicial overreach because what they can't do at the ballot box, what they can't do legislatively, and they run too far left activist judges. take a look. >> as we look at the developments that are happening in the last 48 hours, what are your concerns about this moment that we are at with the courts and with the president and with the suggestion from two of the top advisors that may be they defy the court's rulings. >> this isn't hyperbole to say that we are staring the death of democracy in the eyes right now. the centrepiece of our democracy is that we observe court rulings. >> it's the death of misappropriating the money of the people that work hard in this country that on average

make only $66,000 a year. it is using their money to advance your radical green new deal. your woe gives him, your transgender is him, worldwide and not taking care of the american people first. i want to extrapolate out how much money every american could have gotten off their taxes if they didn't give this money and spend this money on this radical agenda. that's not the death of democracy. that is the return to constitutional order. that is a return to the vision of our founders. limited government, greater freedom. that is what america needs now more than anything. finally they've talked for decades about ending waste, fraud, and abuse. now we are going to do it. this perpetual state of rage, at times entertaining it's getting a little hard to watch. this guy has been falling for ten years since donald trump and melania came down that escalator. yet trump has his highest approval numbers ever. a joint pull...

trump up nine points again. the american people voted for government and reform and for good reason. it's been a train wreck in the washington swamp for decades. americans also wanting strong new leadership overseas mark once again promises made, promises kept. listen to... he seems very open to what the president is proposing for the middle east. >> i truly believe that with all the challenges that we have in the middle east that i can see some way we can take this across the finish line to bring peace and prosperity to all of us in the region. i think it is our collective responsibility to continue to work with you and support you to achieve those lofty goals. >> we will rebuild gaza and we will create tons of jobs and

wealth for the people in the area so they can have better lives and we will demilitarize the place. what a radical idea. peace in the middle east. the king appeared open to the president's plan. american exceptionalism is making a comeback. the entire world will be a better place. make sure to check out the gulf of america. if you look on google maps, there it is. the gulf of america innmak former house speaker newt gingrich is with us. great to see you. i've never seen anything like this in my life. you are the great historian. first can you explain why the democrats doubled down on tens and tens of billions. it will be hundreds of billions by the time its over, of reckless spending on the green new deal, awoke policies, dei practices, transgenderism internationally, taking that

money from the american people. double down on men playing women sports and double down on protecting people in this country illegally, many of them hardened criminals. why is that the strategy? >> when i watched the video you showed, i concluded that it was a real commentary on the decay of american education. you have all these so-called leaders who are totally incapable of speaking in an understandable way. running around yelling curse words if you are an elected member of congress is just stupid. it tells you how much our education -- education system has decayed. second, there are two different things going on with the democrats. the first is they are watching with terror as all the different sources of government money that has prompted them up for the

last 60 or 70 years, all of it is now being challenged by president trump and elon musk. there's parts of the very base of their coalition. if they can't bribe people or act corruptly, if they can't take care of their friends, their coalition is going to collapse. second, you have a very large part of the party for whom the belief you were describing our religious beliefs. this is a secular religion. they can't unlock because they believe these things. they believe in an open border. they believe there is no such thing as america. they believe it's really good to have millions of people flooded into this country. it's really good to have people who don't have to work. that work requirements are inherently bad. all these things are a semi religious or religious belief system and that's why they can't unlock.

it's not rational. they can't do a common sense analysis. they are trapped... >> sean: there's an untold story behind this money. because congress has a duty called oversight and there were senators and a congress people that were asking usaid for example and other departments for an accounting of their money. they would get back nebulous, obscure, obtuse answers which tells me that the democrats knew what they were doing. they knew the american people would not want their money spent this way but they did it anyway and than they basically lied to the american people and would not disclose the true nature of the spending that was actually going on. >> you have to accept that there was a lobbyist bureaucratic empire. that empire took your money,

gave it to it's friends even if they were totally incompetent and you will find case after case where your money went out to systems that just don't work. it's crazy. and at that time, they were taking care of themselves. what makes president trump potentially the most consequential president since abraham lincoln is the fact that he's taking a sledgehammer and he is pounding the establishment in a way that no one has since franklin roosevelt created it in the 1930s. he's the first person to have it ... he didn't try to take on the american establishment. trump has had the guts to go straight out it and i think the american people are going to be with him even more so when they learn how really sickening... >> sean: we are expecting sometime very soon within the next hour that american mark

vogel who was taken. detained by russia under the biden years, will be in the trump white house. we expect he's back and his special... went to russia and is bringing him home. and the president will see him tonight and there are a lot of people that will greet him tonight. how do you interpret what vladimir putin is doing here and the president also drew a line in the sand. he said that all the hostages have until noon saturday to be released by hamas or all will break loose. if i was hamas in iran i believe trump, your thoughts. >> first of all, the people who should most be in the target zone are qatar. they have the money, they are hosting all the leaders of hamas in very nice condominiums. it is the place to really put the pressure to break thomas permanently. second, i think what you see

happening and i've give steve witt cough a lot of credit. is a very good negotiator. what you are seeing is putin is trying to say i don't want to give up everything. i don't want to surrender but can't we be friends. how many little things can i do to show you that i'm not automatically your enemy. i think with keith kellogg as a special envoy, they are very methodically trying to work out what is it that allows ukraine to survive, what is it that gets russia to stop and do so without a risk of a nuclear war. i think trump has a very clear sense of what he wants to get done and inch by inch you will see them move towards some kind of very serious truths. >> sean: always good to have you, thank you for your time. and the big-money show cohost on fox business... good to have you. this is now the seventh u.s. hostage that will be released.

we expect them showing up at any moment at the white house. hopefully be able to show the american people that. and then the deadline, the line in the sand that president trump drew for hamas, noon on saturday. your thoughts on both. >> this is the focus of president trump. this is important to him. it gets done in his first term, he bought 55 hostages home. now we are barely three weeks into his presidency and he's bringing home number 6 or number 7. i read an article on foxnews.com where president trump met with his family and said if i get back in there i'm going to bring him home. and he did it. donald trump is amazing that way. he's committed to it and he makes it happen and this american is coming home to american soil.

>> i will tell you if you read the tea leaves, the seven hostages that trump got released. americans back home. that does not include when he was transitioning and he said they better be released the hostages before i become president or all will break loose. now he's given them until noon saturday. if i'm iran and hamas, if they don't take that threat seriously, god help them and god won't be able to help them because if you read the tea leaves he just gave prime minister netanyahu bunker buster bombs. there might be a message there. >> do you know why he gave those bombs to him? because they paid for them. that's how we do business. israel is our friend, they bought those bombs. table use them if they have to to keep their people safe and fight terrorism. president trump is as serious as a person can be.

every leader around the globe knows that. leaders in columbia knew that. venezuela knew that. panama knows that. people in denmark know that. in china they know that. the folks in iran, the folks running hamas, everyone in the middle east is on notice. president trump is not kidding around and the reason is he's got right and justice on his side. he's communicating to terrorists who took innocent lives and everyone with a moral sense knows that and in america they are backing this president and that gives him the strongest hand any president has had in the middle east. >> sean: it looks like between the comments, zelenskyy is open to a deal. this gesture shows that putin would be open to a deal there. and i think it's very obvious that the president is prepared to do whatever is necessary to allow israel the freedom to win

their war against radical islamic terrorists that attacked them on october seventh and they will have our full support. your take. >> in ukraine, joe biden and to a large extent barack obama put us in a perilous position. history will show that they helped create the atmosphere that led to russia making that incursion. when they recognized that barack obama wasn't going to hold the redline in syria, when he wasn't going to push back on other times when there were incursions. but when donald trump showed up they realized that he was going to tell the truth. he would telegraph in advance zaki what he's going to do and there's no doubt that donald trump would do it. i think on a world level, vladimir putin has that kind of respect for donald trump and vice versa. that's good for the world. that's why i think he can bring peace because they can come to a tenable conclusion here and stop the killing.

and get back to life and order where people don't have to live insomuch fear and it won't cost so much money. i have no doubt that -- that donald trump will get it done. israel are our best ally. everybody knows we are hand in glove with them. it wasn't just lip service, donald trump really does mean it >> consequential work and trimmers -- terms of securing our border, consequential work as it helps to a limiting waste fraud abuse and corruption. consequential advancement to bring peace in europe and the middle east and it's getting interesting. thank you both. when we come back, joe rogan slamming democrats and the media for doubling down on their insane radical far left agenda. we've got that tape and more. president trump and freed american hostage mark vogel. live just hours after his release from a russian prison,

something that harris and biden could not get done. when that happens we will bring it to you live. and i had all these people rooting for me on tiktok. empowering over 7 million us businesses. there's no way i'd be able to support this building or any of my employees. > that went from maybe a few hundred people seeing my product to millions. they rely on tiktok to succeed. i don't think i could have gotten this far if i didn't have that kind of community. small businesses thrive on tiktok. (♪)

>> sean: donald trump's special envoy for hostage affairs just announced yet another hostage will be coming home tomorrow. we don't know yet who it is but we will keep you posted. now all eyes right this hour on the white house as we await the return of mark vogel, the american teacher held hostage in russia for years in the biden years on false drug trafficking charges thanks to president trump and his special middle east envoy mackey was released today and we expect him any moment to show up at the white house. we are told his return is the

latest example of donald trump's historic first month and the state run media mob are not handling it too well. after almost a decade with trump in the national political spotlight it is pretty stunning that the legacy media is still struggling to cope even though their ratings continue to decline. people don't trust them. americans are seeking open and honest discussions away from the word police, the smear merchants, awoke mob and the media. no one knows that more than joe rogan. take a look. >> they are not course correcting at all. they are stings@saying stupid [bleep]. they're understanding of social media and the dynamics that you set up by having completely state-controlled mainstream media where they only said the narratives that you guys wanted. they all set it in step. so you can watch different programs repeat the exact same

words and phrases. we don't trust "the new york times", "the washington post", we don't trust cnn or msnbc. they are all full of propaganda. so that's why the internet rose. it's not because there was some sort of a [bleep] right-wing conspiracy and heavily funded. you guys suck. and you are not real people and you are not -- nobody gets to hang out with brian stelter. none of these people are people that can actually relate to and like. >> i don't think people know who humpty dumpty is. how's it working out for norah o'donnell and jim acosta and andrea mitchell, not that well. fox news contributors... in many ways i feel really blessed because new media began with the talk radio revolution. and then fox took that on hgh

and steroids to the next level. and still both remain extraordinarily powerful and relevant today. and then you've got the brogans and the podcasters and the social media. people have too many options and if you are not a truth teller, you are not going to survive in my view, am i wrong on that? >> you are absolutely right and i think people who are trustworthy in the media, that part of the media universe is thriving. it's the propaganda merchants that are shriveling on the vine. joe rogan is absolutely right. no one trust them anymore. the latest unison talking point is constitutional crisis that donald trump's causing. that's the old story. they did in his first term and are doing it again.

they are going nuts because no one is listening to them. they've lost their influence. they've lost the trust of the people. they've lost the room and they can't handle it. >> sean: all these years i've been doing us that -- doing this ... i didn't go out there and start singing. i didn't start saying... i didn't go out there and say we are the resistance, a constitutional crisis. i pointed out their flaws and fought for better ideas and in the end the american people will always come back to where the right places and i believe that happened here. but in the process during this election cycle, i have declared legacy media is done, am i wrong? >> it is done because the numbers back that up.

at the place that everybody came back to during this election wasn't conservativism, it wasn't anything in terms of republicanism. it was common sense. common sense is what guides so many people in this logic and that's what they want from their media. that's what they want from their leaders. it's quite simple. right now there is zero distance between the insanity on msnbc, cnn, or the editorial pages of "the new york times" and "the washington post" and the democratic party. they seem to be taking their cues from those places and it seems that most of the party has decided that moving harder to the left after the election is the way to win voters back. the democratic party has shown its three things. unhinged, disorganized, utterly tone-deaf when it comes to what people are demanding from their elected leaders. fox news analysis, this was after the 2024 election. 83% are demanding wholesale changes to the way government

operates. and yet what do we see from democrats on a daily basis during these rallies on the theme is to protect the status quo in washington? they don't realize it but they are coming down on the ten side of almost every 9010 issue. 90% will say yes while the other 10% is drunk. singing, a screaming and yelling. that's what democrats are doing at these rallies. volume is not a strategy, emotion is not a policy. it's a public therapy session and if you are in the trump administration right now you want to see these rallies every day. you want more. because if they just keep doing this they will drive a way every possible last independent swing state voter and will never win a national election again unless they pivot back to the centre much like bill clinton did before the 1996 election and

working with your guest before and doing common sense things. >> we pride ourselves on this show of getting everything right. everything from russia and pfizer abuse and the double standard in our justice system with top-secret classified information. or the weaponization. we also got other cases starting with... and freddy gray and baltimore and so many other instances. all their attacks against donald trump, you spent a full day with donald trump. you went to the white house. what was that like? >> it was fantastic. such a whirlwind. >> he never invited me on air force one. did he ever invite you joe? >> i got the trump plane when i was covering the campaign where they served wendy's which was nice.

>> which is very luxurious as well. both fantastic planes. he's so energetic and there is so much going on with him. it's hard for everyone to keep up and he's got such a young staff around him. caroline levitt, the youngest press secretary in history. pete hegseth and j.d. vance. this is a very -- a new generation is in power in washington. elon musk with all his 18 to 25-year-old high iq ways kids and donald trump with more energy than all of them put together. he goes from six in the morning until midnight. he has five hours of sleep and he wakes up every morning thinking just of business. political business. >> we appreciate both of you and keep up the good work. joe has a book coming out pretty soon, tell you about that in an upcoming appearance.

donald trump is keeping his campaign promise to obliterate local policies. we will get reaction from sages steel and we are monitoring the white house at this hour where freed american hostages... we will take you there live as it happens and we also have just learned of another american hostage that is set to be released tomorrow. they have not given us details but as that develops we will bring any news. straight ahead.

[title: ontario, canada] [title: ontario.ca/partner] [title: paid for by the government of ontario] >> sean: we are monitoring the situation at the white house where any minute we expect mark vogel, held hostage in russia...

and his special envoy steve witt cough and this hostage will be meeting with the president, celebrating his return home. also be have learned that another hostage will be released tomorrow. we don't have any details on who or from where. as the first few weeks of donald trump's presidency have been a resounding victory for the return of common sense and american strength abroad. in accordance with donald trump's executive orders, pbs has announced that it is closing down its di office and at the state department, secretary of state marco rubio has ordered his staff to issue only male and female passports. no more gender acts. meanwhile after trump signs his executive order banning biological men from women sports, the department of education wants title ix investigations into schools. that allowed men to compete in women sports and now "the daily caller" is reporting that the administration is asking the ncaa to vacate all

titles and records but -- won by biological men and women's competition. trump has made clear his order applies to the upcoming olympic games will be held in los angeles. real leadership is back. common sense is back. the trump administration is working hard to deliver or the american people without distractions at the speed of light. the host of the sages steel show. how are you? >> great to see you again thank you. >> it reminds me of the first time i watched you interview jillian michaels and her telling you why she left california. and now donald trump is reversing all of it. the left is going crazy. but to me the american people, to they really want all this money spent abroad, tens of billions of dollars, to they

really want woke policies in every aspect of their lives or do they want limited government, greater freedom and leave people alone and let them make their own decisions but they don't need a sealer government approval for what they do. >> i think it's the latter and i'm down here in south florida. i was in new orleans all last weekend. you know this is well, people are... the reporters in washington are busier than they've ever been because every single day there's breaking news of things donald trump is doing. i was there at the white house last week when he examined the -- and signed the executive order... mothers and daughters who have been fighting this. we've got to get congress to push this through permanently because we know that executive orders can be overturned and right now the ncaa did do some good. they haven't fully gone to the level that we need them to go because as much as women -- men are now not allowed to play women sports is the issue as

they are able to earn scholarships and are still allowed in women spaces. that means locker rooms. they have... but they've got a lot more work to do and the way to make that permanent is to push through the perception of women and girls in sports acts. they need to get that done. 79% of americans agree that boys should not be in girls sports. i think that is one huge reason why so many people are happy. donald trump is putting pen to paper every single day. >> did you know you can get a passport and check another box besides male and female? i guess i should have known that but i didn't. >> call me egner inch. i did not know that. i should not be surprised. there's a lot of things i didn't know. i didn't know. i did know the military was allowing and paying for however many millions of dollars for transgender operations, transitions, surgeries. so many of these things are

being put to bed. i'm an army brat, daughter of a west point graduate and the daughter of a buffalo soldier. this isn't about feelings. this is about putting money towards the right things, protecting americans, tiffany our country. that's what the focus should be. i'm so grateful for this breaking news that you've been reporting on tonight with mark vogel, the teacher coming back after three plus years in russia. i'm so grateful for that and hopefully more to come. it was awesome to see brittany greiner come back out of that russian prison a couple of years ago. he has been there for almost four years. thank you donald trump for bringing everyone home, not just a couple of people that fit the agenda. awesome news tonight and i hope that it continues. >> we are expecting more news tomorrow. i feel the same way you do. when i heard that this hostage was being released and they were being flown home, i couldn't be happier. i hate the thought of any

american being held captive anywhere around the world. what you make of their reaction to elon musk just exposing billions and billions of waste fraud abuse and corruption. the left is going insane because it's money not even spent on anything that i would define as worthwhile but spent on their radical agenda, what you make of the hatred of elon musk? >> i love it. i don't care that he's not elected. he's getting it done and fixing it. he's cleaning house. how about the person we had elected as the last president who was there and did nothing but made it worse. i will take elon over the last guy who didn't even do his job speed to one of cabinet officials was not elected. he was elected president, it's his agenda that he is enacting and elon musk is helping him and

he's given up a lot to do it and he's doing it for free and he's going to rescue astronauts in space and help the people in north carolina and tennessee and california. the left hating on him the way they are is insane to me. great to see you. >> it's a complement. >> that's true. i spent a lot of my career being hated so i guess that's a complement. coming up a brand-new task force set to focus on the declassification of federal secrets mack that means the assassination of rfk, mlk, oversight committee german -- chairman james comber, anna pallino luna are here with the details and we are awaiting, moments from now we will take you live to the white house where president trump will be greeting the freed american hostage released from russia. we also have the expectation that another hostage, we don't know the details, will be released tomorrow as well. stay with us.

3. engage your support network let's prepare so we all have a better story to tell. >> this is a fox news alert. we have just learned that mark vogel has landed back on american soil. he's on his way to the white house to meet with president trump. we will take you there live as it happens. we will be doing an extra hour of hannity tonight's so we will get it in even if it goes past the 9:00 hour. tomorrow somewhere, we don't know the details as of now, and other hostage is expected to be released. back here at home president trump's executive order to declassify jfk, rfk, mlk jr.'s assassination files is making waves. james comber has appointed congresswoman anna pallino luna to lead a task force focused on

the declassification of these files along with jeffrey epstein's client list. files related to 9/11, the origins of covid-19, unidentified foreign objects and federal secrets. maybe they can also release the name of congressman who have nondisclosure agreements that use taxpayer dollars because of relationships they were involved in. james comber along with congresswoman anna pallino luna. start with you. start -- sounds like you want everything. i hope you will consider what i want. >> we are in the business of providing transparency to the american people. for too long the american people have doubted government rightfully so. they held back on some information that the american people were entitled to and i'm thankful for president trump being office. i want to put this out there. if we find that the president executive order is stonewalled, i do not put it past chairman comber or

speaker johnson to hold those people in inherent contempt. do not push back against what the president wants, declassify this, the american people deserve this and we will be following through on this. >> sean: why have they hid in this information from the american people, all of it. goes back to the 1960s in three cases. >> it's a sign of arrogance. it's a sign of government elite thinking that the average person doesn't need to know. they can't handle the truth or they don't need to know the truth. this is their territory. this is the deep state. the deep state has been around a long time and it just been empowered under joe biden. what he campaigned on was restoring confidence in the government. right now the average working taxpaying american doesn't have a lot of confidence in the federal government. donald trump is trying to change that.

he's trying to eliminate wasteful spending and be transparent with the american people. that's what our goal is with the task force and congresswoman luna is the perfect person to lead this task force. she's persistent back she's all about transparency and i think this is going to be one of the most interesting things congress does because everyone wants to know the secrets that have been held in our government. >> sean: how long until this will be released? >> we have a couple of days but it will be all available to the american people and our first hearing will be in march. >> sean: we appreciate both of you. thank you for your transparency. stay with us, hannity live for another hour as we prepare mark vogel to meet with president trump at the white house as our coverage continues right here on the fox news channel. has been by your side. ontario, canada, a partner connected by shared history, shared values, and a shared vision for what we can achieve together.
