and the nay sayers have been really, really disproved by this -- >> and charlie kirk, you know, whatays is so true. the president has incredible energy. >> incredible. not low energy like another presidential candidate at all. i tell you what is so amazing about the speech is it sounded like a campaign speech because he's doing what he said he was going to do. he's not changing his message. typically once politicians enter office they change. this sounded like he was back on the campaign trail. and look at all the progress we have made. i loved seeing it. >> sorry, guys, short segment. but coming up, president trump rips the fake news main stream media to shreds. stay with us. with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. >>> welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." joining us is joe concha and denine barelli. the fake news media that the president keeps hitting on is more and more credible every day, he talked about people suing abc if they lost any money wi

charlie kirk. former clinton pollster and fox news contributor doug schoen and deroy murdock.lemen, you know, one of the things that we didn't talk about in the last two segments was the president was talking about hillary. and i will start with you, doug. i don't know why. why do you think? he said the system is rigged there are going to be changes. this is a sick system. we saw christopher wray testify yesterday in front of congress, head of the fbi. yet, everybody is frustrated that people aren't handing over records. what do you think is going to change? >> well, here's what we need first i think and i have said on this show before we do need a special prosecutor to look at her to look at the uranium one keel and to look at the dossier. >> judge jeanine: let me ask you a question. do you get people push back at you are a democrat and you worked with the clintons? >> i get more than push back. we will save that for another time. the other thing i think we have seen this week is we need a separates investigation of the fbi. we have overly partisan. we have personal relations

here's the man himself, turning point usa's founder, charlie kirk. it's pretty cool. i got a couple of retweets and mentions after that. what i said, i think, remains true. you look at what this president has accomplished over the last year especially with this tax reform and the biggest tax cut of my generation, but not just that, you look atç his leadershp internationally -- isis is totally on the run, how he's remaking the courts domestically, and you see manufacturing confidence at its highest level in nearly 50 years, and the president, you turn on, you know, some of these other networks and you see nothing but negative coverage and all this russia nonsense. i think it remains true that what this president has done is truly historic. and if a democrat president achieved one-tenth of what president trump has done, they would say it would be one of the most amazing first years of a presidency we've ever seen is. charles: charlie, of course, you've always dealt with bringing millennials onboard the republican party because it faces lots of obstacle

here to break it down charlie kirk turning points u.s.a. he next generation of conservatives really 18 to 24. coming off the middle of a summit of conservatives about 2300 people. charlie, first off, why do you think that so many have different views of this presidency? >> well, look, i mean, the president has accomplished some absolutely historic things in the last year. you wouldn't know it if you watched, you know, some of the other mainstream media outlets and networks. if you look at the numbers. 1.5 million jobs created. 3% economic growth, which we were told was nearly impossible. manufacturing optimism at record high levels. black unemployment at 15-year low. and not to mention the judges that have been appointed all up and down. it was the most amount of circuit judges ever confirmed in the first year of a presidency since the creation of circuit judges. and you almost have an operating different reality. it's as if the more of the other media networks refuse to tell the story of this presidency. if a democrat president achieved a f

stuart: charlie kirk is with us, turning point usa guy. , looks like it's not a sure thing when you've got three, looks like three holdouts at this point. >> it's going to be awfully tight, i'll tell you what. and like you said, this is the process of sausage making, right? it's going to be cattle trading and horse trading now to the end. i think they'll get there, but the question is how much are they going to sacrifice. and here's the challenge. so let's say they give on the state and local deductions to senator collins. they might lose two more senators because of that. they have to find some sort of bargaining chip in the middle where they can actually agree without losing other votes. so if they give on maybe the estate tax issue, which i know senator collins does not want to see in there at all, they might lose three other senators from somewhere else. i would not want to be in mitch mcconnell or john cornyn's shoes right now. stuart: if they gave in to anything senator collins is demanding, it's much less of a tax cut, much less. >>

let's bring on our political panel, charlie kirk, a team mark welcome to you both.appy new year to you both. this is a 30 minute interview with the president and a lot of pilots would want to get to, as many as we can. first on whether his attorney general jeff sessions was disloyal by recusing himself from the russia probe. the president that i don't want to get into loyalty, but i will say this, he totally protected him when you look at the irs scandal and you look at the guns for whenever, when you look at it tremendous real problems they had, not made up problems like russian collusion, these are real problems. we look at the things they did, i have great respect for that, i'll be honest, i have great respect for that. charlie, was that they slam at sessions? >> it may be slightly, but i will say this. i will look at the ethics that sessions is conducting himself with. it's actually quite admirable. sessions did not have to recuse himself with this russia investigation. in fact, i think it was a mistake. i think if sessions didn't recuse himself, this investigat

people were wondering where i was yesterday, i want to thank charlie kirk for inviting me to speak atning points usa in west palm beach, florida. about 23,000 students out there where i wrestled and dazzled them all, and it was a great event, thank you very much for inviting me. it was a wonderful event. >> kimberly: charlie is very nice. >> brian: in the 22nd side i have left, the jackson dinner is being turned to the barack obama dinner. and the war war in history hisy continues. if there is enough time for amazon to put it into a padded envelope. >> jesse: "a special report" up next. brett, are you going to buy his book or not? >> bret: already on the show. congressional republicans hurry to get a deal done, united nations defies the united states and condemns the recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital. and is the government about to take another look at two of hillary clinton scandals? this is "special report." ♪ good evening, i am bret baier, congressional republicans are basking in the glow of political touchdown and at the form of tax reform legislation. now they are tryi

stuart: what a story, charlie kirk. good stuff. we'll see you again soon.ank you. stuart: okay. i want the stay on this subject, student debt and the defalters. economist john lonski is with us. 4.6 million people in, essentially, in default or not paying on time for sure, there's $1.3 trillion outstanding in debt. are we approaching a student debt crisis? >> i think we're approaching a crisis in the sense that we're going to be forced to really tighten lending standards on student loans fairly soon if we haven't started to do so already. that seems to be inevitable. what a joke. what are you lending these students several hundred thousand dollars for when they have very low prospect, low probability of ever repaying these loans in full in many cases? there's something wrong with the entire system. stuart: but if you tightened it up, you'd be saying, look, we're not going to lend you $100,000 to study art history because the end result is not going to be a job that can repay your loan. you can't do that. >> yes, you can. there has to be some economic ration

stuart: charlie kirk, turning point guy.nks for joining us this morning. >>> still ahead on this program today. naomi judd, big star in country music, she will join us later in the program. her daughter, ashley judd, was one of the first big names to bank silence about sexual harrassment. she joins us at 11:45 had morning. >>> walk into apartment building in new york city, tons of amazon boxes. that means delays for shippers like ups. not sure the connection there but we'll be back. being proactive... it's how edward jones makes sense of investing. that's it. i'm calling kohler about their walk-in bath. nah. not gonna happen. my name is ken. how may i help you? hi, i'm calling about kohler's walk-in bath. excellent! happy to help. huh? hold one moment please... [ finger snaps ] hmm. the kohler walk-in bath features an extra-wide opening and a low step-in at three inches, which is 25 to 60% lower than some leading competitors. the bath fills and drains quickly, while the heated seat soothes your back, neck and shoulders. kohl

telling the new york times he is going to win in 2020 because the media needs him, the turning point charlie kirksaying it, from what he is saying any truth to it? >> i think so. he will have a wonderful 2018, look at the tax-cut, that was just past, we will see an explosion of economic growth but people vastly underestimate this president and he is settling in the last couple months with these massive decisions and look at his approval rating exactly where it was for barack obama at the same time after his first year. when people see more money in their pockets and more economic success you will see the president's popularity improve even more. dave: we may never know the answer but why do you think he is saying this? does he does like to play with the media? >> that is part of it. he likes to punch back to a media that has been extremely unfair to him the last 9 months and i like to say if we had a democrat president that achieved what donald trump has been able to do this past year whether it is the stock market gains, unemployment, 1.5 million jobs created they would say that was historic, in
