11:01 pm
>> and welcome to hannity. >> and tonight. >> we are. >> back in the washington swamp. the sewers, we love to affectionately call it. and we are here to give you all an inside look into the incredible first few weeks of donald trump's second term. just a few hours ago, we were at the eisenhower executive office building, just across from the white house, for an exclusive interview with vice president j.d. vance. that full interview is only moments away. we'll also be joined right here on set by white house press secretary caroline leavitt. we'll get our hannity white house briefing and the u.s. attorney general, pam bondi will talk about epstein. we'll talk about a lot more. but first, breaking tonight, the united states is pausing all military aid to ukraine until the country makes a commitment to good faith peace negotiations. this after the ukrainian president zelensky proclaimed that peace is, quote, still very, very far away. now, keep in mind that zelensky has already been given many, many opportunities to
11:02 pm
team up with the u.s. on a peace deal. and according to my numerous sources, zelensky is now asking to come back to the white house, and he would now finally sign off on what he should have signed off on last week. and that is the rare earth minerals agreement that would bind our two countries together. but it's not going to happen when the president of ukraine seems to want war in perpetuity, a war without the u.s. and without european money he could never even fight anyway. on truth social, president trump called zelensky's recent comments, quote, the worst statement that could have been made. and america will not put up with this much longer. this guy doesn't want there to be peace as long as as long as he has america's backing. don't forget the rare earth mineral deal that would be just phase one of president trump's peace plan. the deal would put u.s. business interests on the ground in ukraine, which itself would provide a significant deterrent to vladimir putin. it would also help ukraine pay
11:03 pm
back the debt to the united states, while also ensuring that u.s. funding continues and provide massive amounts of money that that country will desperately need to rebuild their country. this keeps going. there's not going to be a country to rebuild. phase two would be a cease fire agreement and phase three would be the negotiated settlement. this would be the hard part and peace, hopefully in europe. as a result, zelensky can't even bring himself to sign off on phase one, last week's tense meeting at the white house. in spite of what the fake news legacy media mob is telling you was not an ambush. it was supposed to be a show of unity. it was supposed to be celebrating what was a done deal. it was supposed to be mostly ceremonial in nature. in fact, it was the third time zelensky was supposed to sign off on that very same deal before trying to relitigate the agreement in the oval office at the last minute. but of course, the hysteria and anti-american sentiment in europe is now
11:04 pm
spiking. good luck on their own. one major gas company in norway vowed to boycott our u.s. navy, refusing to refill our ship. really? norway? they stepped in now, promising that will not be the case on x, only moments after zelenskyy's contentious meeting at the white house, multiple european leaders posted their unwavering support for zelensky's seemingly endless war. but then they hosted zelensky for a meeting where they showered him with praise. now, as lindsey graham said, if europe wants to take this on all by themselves and protect their own continent, they're free to do so. but as donald trump pointed out on truth social europe, in the meeting they had with zelensky, stated flatly, they cannot do the job without the u.s. probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against russia. what are they thinking? he's right. president trump raises a great question what is europe thinking? the united states spends nearly $1
11:05 pm
trillion annually on defense. all of the countries in the european union spend just about 326 billion combined. when it comes to funding ukraine, the same disparity continues. the u.s. has been carrying far more of the financial burden than ukraine's actual neighbors in their on their continent. and to top it off, your europe is actually sending more money to russia buying oil and gas than aid to ukraine. in fact, the eu bought a whopping $22 billion in fossil fuels from russia in 2024 alone. europe is making putin filthy rich so he can continue to feed his war machine. america. we should be supplying europe with all of their energy needs. and hopefully under donald trump's plan, that will soon be the case as we move towards energy dominance. but if you want to know how putin is funding his
11:06 pm
war, look no further than the european union. now remember, trump gave angela merkel that white flag of surrender after germany did that multi-billion dollar energy deal with putin. so if europe wants this war to continue with no end in sight, well, they're going to end up being on their own and it's not going to end very well. and i'd like to see the killing stop. i'd like to see the destruction stop. and i'd like to see at least the rebuilding of a country before it's too late. but as president trump stands ready and willing to make a deal. earlier tonight, i asked vice president j.d. vance about this and so much more. here's part one of our interview just a couple of hours ago. mr. vice president, thank you for being. >> with us. good to see you, man. great to be here. >> let's go back to the oval office friday. from your perspective. >> yeah. great tv as the president said. yeah. yeah. >> well. >> you know, it's funny. so we have a 40, 45 minute press conference and the president normally does this. and i've seen this now 3 or 4 times with foreign leaders where he likes to bring the media in, likes to
11:07 pm
have a conversation but answer questions with the press. as you know, he's very open with reporters. and what i noticed is that for the first 25, 30 or so minutes, he tried to sort of bend over backwards to be gracious and kind to zelenskyy, even when zelenskyy was kind of needling him, even when zelensky was saying things that i thought were untrue, the president just tried to be diplomatic. right? i think that's that's his natural instinct in that situation. and then when it really went off the rails, of course, is when i asked or you had a polish journalist who asked a question, the president answered it, and then i answered it. and then something about my answer just really sets zelensky off. so then he came at me. so you're blaming yourself? then i then i went back at him. and what i tried to do originally was actually try to diffuse the situation a little bit because i'm like, you know, we're having this meeting. obviously there are 100 television cameras here. let's try to have this conversation in private. and then the president, as we kept on going back and forth, i tried again to say, well, maybe
11:08 pm
we should have this conversation in private. and the president was like, nope, actually, i don't want to have it in private anymore. i want to have this actual conversation in public for the american people to see. and i do think that there was just a certain sense of there was a lack of respect, there was a certain sense of entitlement. and most importantly, look, we can look past all that stuff. but the president has set a very clear goal for his administration. he wants the killing to stop. and i think that it's very important that president zelensky and of course, president putin too, they've both got to come to the negotiating table. and that's ultimately where things broke apart. i really don't care what president zelensky says about me or anybody else. but he showed a clear unwillingness to engage in the peace process that president trump has said is the policy of the american people and of their president. that's the real breakdown, is i think zelensky wasn't yet there. and i think, frankly, now still isn't there. but i think he'll get there eventually. he has to he. >> my understanding is he tried to get back in or tried to stay a number of times and then made numerous calls to come back. is
11:09 pm
that true? >> i don't know about numerous calls, but they certainly made at least one request to come back and continue the conversation. the president was like, look, first of all, they were disrespectful. and second of all, what are we even going to talk about? they shown a clear unwillingness to discuss the peaceful settlement that president trump is trying to bring to the situation. i think a lot of americans are sort of, you know, it's useful to step back and ask ourselves, what is the actual plan here? you can't just fund the war forever. the american people won't stand for it. and by the way, sean, if you look at european opinion polls, the europeans aren't going to stand forever for it either. we need to bring this thing to a peaceful settlement. the president was trying to do that. he'll continue to try to do that. but you've got to have two to tango. you've got to have a negotiating partner in the ukrainians who recognize that, you know, of course they have their views. and of course, they're not always going to agree with us, but they've got to participate in the conversation. they weren't willing to do that on friday. so the president said, send him home. >> he said today that the war he expects will go on a very
11:10 pm
long time. i don't know where he's going to get the money to fund that war. i have my doubts that europe will fund the war to the level that biden and harris would funding it, and then the issue now has come up, whether or not this administration will continue to offer money and arms for those war to continue, because without america, i would argue the president was right in saying they have no cards. >> yeah. well, sean, i think our european friends, frankly, are being really, really they're doing a disservice to the ukrainians because their own populations are saying, we're not going to fund this war. and definitely the american people are saying we don't want to fund the war indefinitely. so the only thing that is in the best interest of america, of russia, of ukraine and of europe is to bring this thing to a close. what happened, sean, is you have zelensky, he goes to europe and a lot of our european friends puff him up. they say, you know, you're a freedom fighter. you need to keep fighting forever. well, fighting forever with what? with who's money? with who's ammunition and with whose lives? the president is actually taking a much more
11:11 pm
realistic perspective and saying, this can't go on forever. we can't fund this thing forever. the ukrainians can't fight forever. so let's bring this thing to a peaceful settlement. >> when i interviewed zelensky, he wouldn't give me direct answers. i asked him about the mineral deal to pay the us back to me. there's three phases in this. and my understanding was friday was supposed to be relatively ceremonial. >> it was. >> and then that it was supposed to be. we signed the mineral deal. that's that's part one. part two would be a cease fire. part three would be the hardest, the hardest part, the negotiated settlement with putin, who, correct me if i'm wrong, said he's willing to talk peace with trump. >> yeah, he said he's willing to talk peace. and of course, we trust but verify. we want to have the conversation. we don't assume that everything that anybody tells us is true. that's why we want to engage in this conversation. but you're exactly right, sean. when the ukrainians came to washington on friday, it was supposed to be ceremonial. you know, there had been some public back and forth, some disagreements, some some words spoken in public. and the president was like,
11:12 pm
let's have this moment. we give some credit to the brave ukrainian fighters. and of course, it's a very brave army that they have there in ukraine. let's sign this minerals deal, which importantly does two things. it allows the american people to get some of their money back, but it also shows the ukrainian people that america has a long term investment in their sovereignty. you do those things, we'll sign this thing. we'll have a rah rah moment, and then we'll get to the tough talk of negotiating peace. we couldn't even get the ukrainians to a point where they could talk about the peaceful settlement. and look, in some ways, sean, i get it. i get the frustration, i get the rage. it's their country. of course it's not our country. but you've got to accept. cooler heads have got to prevail. this thing cannot go on forever. this is the important point i say this to are, of course, most importantly the americans who are watching. but people all over the world, when you talk to leaders in private, whether they're ukrainian or european, when you talk to people in private, they will tell you this cannot go on forever. there aren't enough ukrainian
11:13 pm
lives, there isn't enough american money, and there isn't enough ammunition to fund this thing indefinitely. the only realistic pathway to bring this thing to a settlement is president trump's pathway. we encourage both president zelensky and president putin to follow that path. >> i mean, hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent. and this came up in the discussion friday. the biden administration called putin every name in the book, and they've been trying to get the president. >> and he still invaded anyway. >> okay. he still invaded anyway. well, remember, it depends if it's a minor incursion. let's let's go back to that moment, which i thought as troops were massing on the border. but i go back and i think about this. and, and biden spent all of this money called putin, all these names, the media and the democrats, they want donald trump to call him names and the president address that. and then he's supposed to call him and say, vladimir, you ready to talk of peace now? that's not going to work. >> no, it's diplomacy one on 101. right? is you have to have
11:14 pm
a reasonable relationship with somebody to be able to even start the conversation. we have to remember, sean, ukraine, half the country, a third of the country is totally destroyed. the economy is depressed. you've got hundreds of thousands of dead ukrainians. of course, a lot of dead russians as well. the president wants to negotiate a settlement. how can you negotiate if you can't even talk to somebody? and that's what he said. he's not saying like nobody's suggesting. as secretary rubio said, no one is suggesting that we give the nobel peace prize to vladimir putin. what we're saying is it's important for president trump to be able to have a conversation that's not well served by standing up at a press conference and calling the guy every negative name in the book, by the way, as you just said, president biden called putin every single name in the book. what did it lead to? it led to war. it led to destruction. it led to conflict. president trump is trying to bring this thing to a close. you got to be able to talk to somebody to do that. >> is the door open? president
11:15 pm
trump said friday he can come back if he wants peace. is that door still open today? >> well, president trump has said clearly and consistently is of course, the door is open so long as zelenskyy is willing to seriously talk peace. you can't come into the oval office or anywhere else and refuse to even discuss the details of a peace deal. look, this is not going to make anybody happy. the russians are going to have to give up stuff. the ukrainians are going to have to give up stuff. you can't come to the oval office and say, give us security guarantees. we won't even engage with you about what we're willing to give up. that's been the ukrainian posture when that posture changes. as president trump said, when they're willing to talk peace. i think president trump will be the first person to pick up the phone. >> well, i got to imagine that there probably rethinking it. what did you make of european leaders, you know, quote their voices of solidarity this weekend? because it's lindsey graham who's been very supportive of ukraine in this conflict. i mean, he was livid. yes. and he said, if they want to now defend their own continent, let him go ahead and
11:16 pm
do it. good luck to them. >> yeah. and my message to the ukrainians, by the way, to president zelensky, is when you've lost lindsey graham, that means you need to come to the negotiating table and recognize donald trump is the only game in town. he's the only person who i think can has a meaningful plan to save that country. but sean, here's the problem with the europeans. and a lot of these guys are our friends. they're our allies. we of course, you know, the president has a great relationship with a lot of european heads of state, and so do i. but they need to be realistic. and the craziest part about this, sean, is that sometimes you'll have european heads of state who in public will puff up their chests and say, we're in it with president zelensky for the next ten years, and then in private, they'll pick up the phone and say, we can't. this can't go on forever. he has to come to the negotiating table. so i honestly don't care what the europeans say in public. what i care is what they say in private, and what they need to be saying to president zelensky is this can't go on forever. the bloodshed, the killing, the economic devastation, it's
11:17 pm
making everyone worse off the only pathway. i think back to peace and peace and prosperity is what the president is trying to accomplish. >> now we look back in time and we see joe biden was beginning to understand that the patience of the american people is running thin. that's right. hundreds of billions of dollars were a nation with nearly 40 trillion in debt. i mean, it's too much. >> this is an important point, though, because i was a united states senator for, of course, for the last two years of the biden administration, i got elected. >> i think he liked his job better. >> i think i like his job a lot better. i certainly like the president a lot better. and here's the thing. you know, when you would talk to the biden administration officials in private, this is another example of a terrible situation. the biden admin left the trump administration when you asked them, what's the plan? okay, we're going to spend tens of billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars in ukraine. what is your plan? and they would honestly tell you, well, we're just going to send them weapons for as long as we can and hope eventually they can turn the tide. hope is not a strategy. throwing money and ammunition at a terrible conflict. that is
11:18 pm
not a strategy. the only guy in town with a strategy is the president of united states. and everybody needs to follow his lead. >> what scares me is zelinski when he says it's going to go on for years. how many more lives are going to be lost? he's not going to have a country to save. at the end of that, the minerals deal would have provided the monies to rebuild their country and a strong u.s. presence, and maybe european troops as well. >> and this is this is an important part of it. the president knows that. look, if you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that vladimir putin does not invade ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give americans economic upside in the future of ukraine. that is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years. the security guarantee, and also the economic guarantee for ukraine, is to rebuild the country and ensure that america has a long term interest. you're not going to do that if you come to the oval office and
11:19 pm
insult the president and refuse to follow his plan for peace. >> if he called. and i hate hypothetical questions, sure. forgive me if he called tomorrow and said, i am ready to adopt your plan for peace, he can come back. >> i think that if he called and had a serious proposal for how he was going to engage in the process. look, there are details that really matter that we're already working on with the russians. we've already talked with some of our allies. he needs to engage seriously on the details. i think once that happens, then absolutely. we want to talk. >> are you convinced putin and the russians are willing to meet them? i don't want to say the word halfway. they're willing to do their part to achieve a negotiated settlement. >> am i convinced? no. but do i think that there's a real pathway you got to trust but verify? you got to engage in the negotiation. you've got to see what steps people are willing to take. this is another thing, sean. obviously i'm biased because i really love the guy. but when the media attacks president trump as somehow on the side of putin, two big problems with that. first of all, the only president in 20 years where you
11:20 pm
haven't had the russians take a bunch of territory was under the first term of donald j. trump the second part of that is you've got to actually accept that president trump, he's not just assuming that everything the russians tell him is true. he's negotiating with them. there's a give and take. there's a trust but verify. that's called diplomacy. we used to have some respect for that in washington, d.c. >> and coming up, more of my exclusive interview with the vice president, j.d. vance, i asked the vice president about his speech in munich. it did ruffle a few feathers, also about donald trump's address. state of the union, a joint session of congress tomorrow night, and much, much more straight ahead. >> g. 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
11:21 pm
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. >> hi. mike huckabee here. having spent many years in politics, i can comfortably say that the current climate is enough to keep any of us awake at night, and i safeguard my well-being by making sure that i get a good night's rest with relaxing sleep. america's number one trusted sleep aid. >> i'm doctor eric. >> celebrity founder of. >> axiom. >> america's most trusted sleep aid. >> just like you're seeing me on television now, i saw a commercial for axiom sleep. back then, i called, and the rest is history. >> when i take. >> relaxing sleep. >> i sleep better than i have in years. >> i wake up feeling. >> like i've had the best night's sleep. >> as a clinical. >> neurologist. >> i know. >> how essential. >> sleep is for building. >> and nourishing both. >> your.

11:25 pm
here is part two of my exclusive interview with the vice president, j.d. vance. every time he talks about tariffs, i'm like, is the media and democrats that ignorant or have you not figured out that means, oh, let's negotiate. and they seem not to want to understand that part of them. you said at the munich security conference, and i want to quote it directly, biggest threat to europe is not russia or china. you talked about the retreat of europe from fundamental values. the threat is from within. yes. and you went on to talk about digital censorship and canceling elections. that was a powerful condemnation of what is really happening there. >> i appreciate it. and it's also, by the way, sean, a condemnation of what the biden administration was doing. this is one of the things that i think the europeans didn't appreciate about the speech is the biggest driver of mass censorship in the last five years. it actually wasn't the europeans. they were the victims of it in a lot of ways.
11:26 pm
it was coming from the biden administration. this whole crazy left wing idea that we're not allowed to debate ideas, that we're not allowed to discuss things, that we have to silence people, censor them, throw them in jail for silently praying outside of an abortion clinic. these ideas are going to destroy western civilization. they're going to destroy europe, and they would destroy the united states of america if we allowed them to fester. thank god we have a president now who believes in free speech. but the danger is still there. the danger is there in europe. the danger is there in the united states of america. we have to ask ourselves the questions. as leaders, are we willing to defend people even if we disagree with what they say? if you're not willing to do that, i don't think you're fit to lead europe or the united states. >> if you're running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing america can do for you. i said it at the same conference. >> exactly right. there is nothing that we can do for you if you're terrified of your own people. and, sean, you see this every single day. what are some of the biggest drivers of violence in these european
11:27 pm
societies? it's mass migration. it's people who haven't assimilated into european societies who are driving cars into christmas festivals, killing tons of innocent people. and very often the european response to that is not to say, oh, well, maybe we should get control of our own borders. their response is to try to silence and shut down their own citizenry. that is a danger in europe. it was a danger under joe biden in the united states of america. and look, of course, china is a major threat. it's a major competitor over the next few years, over the next few decades. but i have no doubt that america and europe could take on whatever threats, so long as we're strong internally. that's the biggest risk to our civilization. it's that weakness internally. that's what we have to fix. >> the democratic party now, they want long, protracted wars. the democratic party championing men to play in women's sports. the democratic party putting the rights of illegals over the safety of americans and defending what will be hundreds of trillions of dollars in waste, fraud,
11:28 pm
abuse, corruption. how does that end for them? >> i think it ends very, very poorly. and the american people are a lot smarter than the democrats give them credit for. you cannot shut up your fellow citizens force biological men to play in sports with girls. which, by the way, is just insulting to the girls. it's actually dangerous. title nine. title nine. it's, you know, some of these sports are very violent. you don't want to have biological men against women. it's crazy. and the democrats again, there is this crazy idea in the democratic party that if you just repeat insane ideas, eventually the american people are going to believe them. we actually think the american people are smart, and we should listen to them rather than preach at them. and i think that's the core right now of the of the president's political strength. >> last question. tomorrow you'll be sitting in a very prominent seat. are you excited about your seating chart for the state of the union? >> i'm excited about the speech. it's going to be a little unusual to have the camera on me for, you know, an
11:29 pm
hour and a half and every reaction that i have. but i think, you know, as as the thing that i've learned, sean, is people always say when you're on camera, you know, try to try to be stoic and try not to show your cards. i'm going to have fun tomorrow because the president of the united states, he's going to make a lot of good arguments. he's going to talk a lot about a lot of the successes that we've had in these first 45 days. he's also going to be himself, which means he's going to poke a little fun and we're going to have a good time tomorrow. so i'm just going to try to enjoy it. >> well, it seems like when i first interviewed you, it seems like it sunk in. you now know you're the vice president. so you're like, okay, this is a little new, but mr. vice president, you're always generous with your time. we really appreciate it. >> thank you so much. yeah. >> good to see you, sean. >> i need to correct one thing i said. hundreds of trillions. i meant hundreds and hundreds of billions. waste, fraud and abuse is what i was referring to. i stand corrected and i apologize. when we come back, the mayor of boston being criticized tonight after offering condolences to the family of a man that was trying to stab two people and was shot

11:35 pm
for the knife wielding suspect, but not the two individuals who were nearly stabbed. take a look. >> my condolences and all of our thoughts are with the family of the individual whose life has been lost. and i'm also thinking of all the people who were impacted here today. and one of the busier parts of the city with this tragedy. >> then, when asked about the backlash following her statement, mayor wu actually doubled down on stupid. take a look. >> you know, it's unfortunate to politicize being at the scene of a tragic incident. our officers are in extremely difficult and dangerous situations every single day, keeping our residents safe. and i expressed condolences, along
11:36 pm
with our police commissioner and district attorney, because every loss of life is a horrible tragedy. >> now, despite this incident, president trump is making major headway on crime all across the country. according to a report from the new york times. trump's tariff threats on mexico is now forcing the mexican government to crack down on organized crime, forcing cartels to shut down fentanyl production, and they are going into hiding. meanwhile, u.s. attorney general pam bondi continues investigating the epstein files and attempting to get a hold of the files that were never handed over from the fbi bureau in new york. the attorney general, pam bondi, joins us now live on set. it's great to see you. >> great to see you. >> are you drowning yet? how many weeks in? >> oh, just a few. >> just a. >> few, a few. >> let me start with the epstein case, because there was an expectation that this was going to be bigger. you had the same expectation. >> we all did. and the fbi
11:37 pm
handed over a couple hundred pages of documents. but, you know. >> sean, i gave them a deadline of friday at 8 a.m. to get us everything. and a source had told me where the documents were being kept. southern district of new york. shock. so we got them all by. hopefully all of them. friday at 8 a.m. thousands of pages of documents. i have the fbi going through them, and cash is also now that we have cash here. it's a game changer, of course. and cash is going to director patel is going to get us a detailed report as to why the fbi withheld all of those documents. >> okay. i want to be clear, because i think people got got frustrated because they were expecting more. you were expecting more and you didn't find out less than 24 hours before the release. you got a whistleblower that confirmed that there were way more documents that they were supposed to turn over. and then you found out just before that. >> well, sure. and you're looking at these documents going, these aren't all the epstein files. you know, there
11:38 pm
were flight logs. there were names and victims names. and where's the rest of the stuff? and that's what the fbi had turned over to us. and so a source said, whoa. all this evidence is sitting in the southern district of new york. so based on that, i gave them the deadline friday at eight, a truckload of evidence arrived. it's now in the possession of the fbi. cash is going to get me and himself. really a detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld. and, you know, we're going to go through it, go through it as fast as we can, but go through it very cautiously to protect all the victims of epstein, because there are a lot of victims. >> you had identified in phase one over 200 or 254. okay. now, is that the only thing that would be redacted? will everything else be made public that you get in your possession? >> yeah. the fbi hasn't had obviously, they haven't looked at the thousands of pages of documents that they've just received friday. but cash has a team going through them and
11:39 pm
it's always about protecting the victim. but you know what? we believe in transparency. and america has the right to know. the biden administration said on these documents no one did anything with them. and why were they sitting in the southern district of new york? i want a full report on that. you know, sadly, these people don't believe in transparency. but i think more unfortunately, i think a lot of them don't believe in honesty. and it's a new day. it's a new administration, and everything is going to come out to the public. the public has a right to know. americans have a right to know. >> and that goes the same with the jfk files. jfk files. >> martin luther king. yep. absolutely. >> what are the things that and maybe some people don't understand the need to redact. in the case of a victim, that shthrough them as fast as we cn get it out to the american people, because the american people have a right to know, not only on that, but on kennedy, on martin luther king, on all of these cases that the biden administration has just set on for all these years. so, yeah, it's really it's not sad.
11:40 pm
it's infuriating that these people thought that they could sit on this information, but they can't. it's a new day and we believe in transparency. and it's going to come out. and when we redact things, sean, what we're going to do is not just pull pages out like they used to do. if something's redacted, you will know the line and you will know why it's redacted. the victim's name identifying information of a victim. >> let's talk a little bit about the doj. prior to your arrival. i believe it was weaponized. how do we prevent that from ever happening again? i believe that once the fbi was the world's premier law enforcement agency, and that was weaponized and politicized. i believe the same with our intel community. how do we restore these institutions to their former greatness? >> well, first and foremost, we got rid of the jack smith team. gone. those people are gone.
11:41 pm
we're still trying to find out. there are a lot of people in the fbi and also in the department of justice who despise donald trump, despise us, don't want to be there. we will find them because you have to believe in transparency. you have to believe in honesty. you have to do the right thing. and right now we're going to root them out. we will find them and they will no longer be employed. but again, we're starting at every level of the justice department, sean, and getting rid of the worst of the worst. but there are a lot more people that shouldn't be there. but there are a lot of good people who are out there now risking their lives every day making these cases. you know, today we made a huge case involving a guatemalan, an illegal from guatemala, one of the largest human trafficking rings in the country, 20,000 people being smuggled into this country from guatemala. that arrest was made in california last week. an illegal was arrested in new york for isis funding isis. it's constant.
11:42 pm
it's we are going to get out there. we're going to arrest the bad people, take them off the streets and restore the justice department to what it was made to do fight violent crime. >> were you or are you up to this point? i know it's very early in your tenure. few weeks. are you at all shocked at how things were running before you got there? >> shocked? yeah. shocked. never thought kash and i patel talk about this all the time. you know, we knew it was bad. we never knew how bad. and especially on the criminal side and on the people who are in there. well, you've heard the story. of course. my i went up, i was visiting the floors. i walked up to the seventh floor, the national security, and they i couldn't get in there because it's a skiff. well, that's how it was secure. but my detail managed to get me in there. they still had a picture of joe biden on the wall and kamala harris. that's how bad it was. so i personally took those off the wall. but that's the tip of
11:43 pm
the iceberg. >> what about when you talk about people in the doj that have an awful lot of power and maybe what they did to donald trump is unprecedented. evacuation of mar a lago, the double standard with the raid of mar a lago, the fisa abuse, russia lie, a dirty disinformation dossier signed three times by a former fbi head in that case, james comey. are these all on the table to get to the bottom of over time? >> everything is on the table, sean. we're going to look at everything. and as i said, the jack smith team gone. that was low hanging fruit. really? get rid of them. get rid of the people that raided the president's home. we lock. >> into what they did. >> everything is being looked into. everything. and right now, we are hiring great lawyers, great people around us who we can trust. right now, the numbers are very small. but now that we have kash in, it's made it a lot easier at the fbi. but he's dealing with what we're dealing. you know, the great men and women of dea,
11:44 pm
atf, the u.s. marshals, we are all working together to fight violent crime. and it's a shame that that a few people have given them such a bad name, as well as the department of justice. >> it sounds daunting. it sounds like a massive list. it doesn't sound like you're going to be sleeping a lot in the next four years. >> none of us will. but it's worth it. it's worth it to fight for the american people and to keep america safe. >> amen. pam, thank you for coming in. good to see you. thank you. when we come back, president trump has only been in office six weeks. and the winds continue to pile up. we're going to tell you what happened today. yes. the hannity white house briefing with press secretary caroline leavitt straight ahead. >> sean hannity. >> is stepping away from politics. >> all right. whoa, whoa. >> let's not go. >> that far. >> sean is. >> getting personal on fox nation. >> that's more like it. >> there's a healthy amount of
11:45 pm
fear that can be a motivator. >> you exude passion and care. >> all i can do is try to be better with every passing day. >> sean, stream the. >> next. >> episode with. >> jillian michaels now on fox nation. america is streaming. >> we got the pink. >> ankle weights out. >> you really. >> want me to wear a pink ankle weights? >> hi. mike huckabee here. having spent many years in politics, i can comfortably say that the current climate is enough to keep any of us awake at night. and i safeguard my well-being by making sure that i get a good night's rest with relaxing sleep. america's number one trusted sleep aid. >> i'm doctor. >> eric. >> celebrity founder of acxiom, america's. >> most trusted. >> sleep aid. >> just like you're seeing me on television now, i saw a commercial for relaxing sleep. back then, i called, and the rest is history. >> when i. >> take to sleep, i sleep. >> better. >> than i have in years. >> i wake up feeling like i've. >> had the best night's sleep. >> as a clinical. >> neurologist, i know how essential sleep is. >> for building and. >> nourishing both your mental.

11:48 pm
11:49 pm
stamps.com. start your risk free trial today. >> all right. president trump has been in office for only six weeks, but he continues to rack up win after win after win, adding two more major victories today. according to a reuters report, honda will now produce the next civic in indiana instead of mexico over the issue of donald trump's tariffs. that's a win. and earlier today, president trump announced a $100 billion investment in the u.s. from a taiwanese semiconductor chip giant called tsmc. this on the heels of nissan deciding to build their plant in the u.s. instead of the original plan in mexico. and, of course, apple's $500 billion four year commitment to build a massive plant in texas that will create tens and tens of thousands of high paying jobs. meanwhile, president trump is set to deliver his address to congress tomorrow night. the theme of
11:50 pm
which fox news has now learned will be the renewal of the american dream. here, now with our hannity washington briefing, our very own white house press secretary, caroline love. how are you? it's great to see you. >> it's good to see you in person. >> no, it's. >> thanks for having me. >> it's the only good reason to be to the swamp is to see you, jd and pam. >> that's about it. >> and the president, when i do get to see him as well. this is a major news. i know everyone wants to talk about tariffs. bad bad bad. no. why don't why don't people understand? the president is a never ending negotiator. >> he's a never ending negotiator. it's the art of the deal. but also the president has proven, as he did in his first term, that tariffs can bring good paying jobs back here to the united states of america. they protect critical industries here at home. and president trump is serious when he says he wants to make america the manufacturing superpower of the world, and we have the ability to do it. we have the best resources and the best people. but unfortunately, we've been ruled by a political
11:51 pm
class that has sold us out for far too long, and we've allowed other nations around the world to rip us off. so your audience should be aware that tonight. 12:01 a.m. tariffs on mexico and china are going into effect in another 10%. another 10% on china, 25% on mexico, 25% on canada. and the reason is because we cannot continue to allow fentanyl to pour into our country and kill our people. i bet you every single person watching your show tonight knows somebody who has died at the hands of chinese fentanyl that has come through our northern or southern border. and one american life is one too many in. these tariffs are necessary to continue to put the pressure on these countries to secure our borders. >> did you see this as a big movement by mexico to allow us to, by handing over some of these cartel leaders, is that their way of saying, please don't put the tariffs on us? and the president is saying, no, you got to do everything i want. >> we have certainly seen an increase of cooperation from
11:52 pm
mexico and also from canada. but over the past four years, under the previous administration, they allowed thousands of pounds of chinese produced fentanyl into our country. last year alone, through the southern border, 4.8 billion people could have died for the amount of fentanyl that came through our borders. at the northern border, there was enough fentanyl to kill 9.8 million people. that's up 2,050% since 2023. the year prior, 2,050% increase. these countries have to be held accountable for that. fentanyl is the leading cause of death in this country from ages 18 to 34. and if you talk to the families and the parents who have lost their children at the hands of this deadly poison, they will tell you they are grateful for the president finally taking strong action to end this epidemic, in this crisis in our country. >> you were in the room when president zelensky was there on friday. what was your take? >> it was my take that president zelensky, unfortunately, was ungrateful to the american taxpayer. and
11:53 pm
frankly, putting aside my job as president trump's spokeswoman, as an american citizen, it was incredibly profound to watch our president actually stand up for us, for the taxpaying, american, law abiding citizen who is sick and tired of seeing hundreds of billions of dollars go out the door every single year. when we have real problems in our country here. and president trump wants to end this war. he campaigned on this. he talked about it at every single rally across the country. and unfortunately, president zelensky is not in the mindset to negotiate peace. and i think, frankly, it was incredibly refreshing to watch the president and the vice president stand up for america and to have that be before the world to see the world was able to finally watch what president trump and his team have been dealing with behind closed doors, which is a hard headedness. unfortunately for president zelensky and the ukrainians, and negotiating a true peace deal with russia. >> you're the youngest white house press secretary in
11:54 pm
history. i am, i watch you mostly without any notes at all, and the ease with which you deal with some people that we both know are pretty hostile towards president trump. and you do it with a smile and ease. were you always that at ease with public speaking, which happens to be most people's number one fear? >> well, i do think god gives everybody unique gifts and skills, and i guess public speaking is one of mine. >> gave me a big. >> mouth, but i do. i do work for a great boss who makes my job quite easy because he says something and he does it, so there's no spin. it's all truth. we have the facts on our side, you know, in explaining these tariffs, right? most people would run away from that argument. but we have the truth and the statistics and the facts on our side. and everything the president does is back. >> tariffs on us. >> right. what's right for the american public? >> the president, it seems like almost on a daily basis, is giving more access in six weeks
11:55 pm
than joe biden has given in four years. no doubt. i mean, is there any level of appreciation from the media? do they not now know that they were shut out? >> they'll tell you off the record. if you. >> talk to the record. >> they may not admit it on television because it doesn't fit their brand. >> i want to know what they tell you off the record. you don't have to mention names. >> they'll tell you off the record that they greatly appreciate the access that they have been given to the president of the united states. they are able to ask him questions every single day on an array of topics, whatever is on their mind. even today, the president announced a major investment in america $100 billion from a taiwanese chip company. you just mentioned it. more jobs coming back home. and then he opened it up to questions. he took questions on the announcement today, but he also took questions on the news of the day, on ukraine and on tariffs and other topics as well. >> just like unlike joe, who's let me call on a and. >> we don't tell president trump who to take questions from. >> no i don't. >> and even if we tried he
11:56 pm
