Out on the left coast, he was able to do something and stepped out alone by himself and talk about why he supports donald trump for president. John voight, my friend. How are you, sir . How are you . The last part of that was terrific. Sean its great to see you you. You know, i saw you with so many of these people. And the loved that they showed for you not only for your great acting ability but the fact that you had stood up for donald trump when so many in your profession would not. An yeah. I am getting a lot of love here. Sean you. Im so happy here with all the things that people are seeing on the televisionwi set. Watching the parade today was an enormous thingse for me. Sean it was. Also joining us is corey lewandowski. All right, funny back story. I was out there on the campaign trail when it was donald j. Trump, you, and thats all that was. I like to say, they are two guys in the plane and we had to pick two. The one thats pretty cool. Look what happened. The country has come alive. Millions of people said no more washington. Donald trumps speech was so clear, so concise. The power goes back to theba people. Comes out of washington and comes out of people thats what the revolution is all about. Corey, you are not only confident, extraordinarily confident that way. Very few people were where you were back at that time. I know you, so i knew it was from your heart. Its amazing how john, we have a lot more fronts today than we did just a few short weeks ago. Everyone was a firm supporter of donald trump but the truth was, i believed in it because i heard him and i sat with him for the very first time. He said to me, i dont need to be the president. Im going have a great night whether i am or not. I want to change the country for very few people were where you were back at that time. And i know you, so i know its from your heart. Its amazing, jon the trs i believed in him because i heard him and i sat with him and he said to me, i dont need to be the president. I want to change it for my generation, we have to do better. If you look at all the specifics that hes outlined in this campaign, thats where he house to start doing tomorrow and on monday. Thats what the American People deserve. Sean i would argue if he follows through on that nouthann and these are the things we talked about. When did you come on board with donald trump . I came on pretty early, sean. I was fortunate. I have very good people around me. You being one of them. I saw some things happening. We all felt so much needed to be done. We were not above the understanding of the American People. The American People knew a great majority we were going in the wrong direction. Something seriously had to be done. Sean i wasti telling tucker carlson, this is the forgotten man and woman election. He mentioned it today in his speech. You cant have 95 million americans out of work, you can. Have 43 million on food stamps, you cant have the lowest Home Ownership rate and 51 years and doubled the debt in the process and say things are going well. I think i was a big part of it. He did mention himself much today. These werent statistics, these werent real people. If you went across the country as i did at different times, you met these people. If you really had your eyes open, you knew what was going to happen. Sean i think there is a distinct its a night to celebrate tonight, but going forward, donald trump will face is this republican establishment against him, democratic establishment, media establishment. By the way, like cnn over there. You know what it is . The political world, it doesnt want change. They make a very good living by making no change. What does that mean . Will make a bill, make sure it doesnt actually get done. Thats notn donald trump. What he said it was normally take six weeks, six months, six years, six hours, six seconds and hes going to see that with the executive orders hes going to sign, the cabinet thats going to come in. Hesng going to empower these people to go and change the way washington works. That includes saving hundreds of millions and billions of dollars on spending where we are getting killed because as the American Government becausego we dont negotiate. Sean its interesting. In the last couple of weeks, i watch the republicans, and they are talking about, lets advance the debt ceiling 9. 7 trillion. And then they will or talking about bringing their marks back. Maybe well do it within the next year on each one of those issues, trump said 10 cut, 20 cut. 0 hes got this way of deali. And i dont understand it exactly. A certain personality that he has. And i amt in all of awe of it. Sean hang on. Guys, if i may interrupt you, the Vice President of the United States mike pence is entering the room. We are at the freedom ball, by thed. Way, at washington, d. C. After governor penns pence and his wife take you know whats amazing, everybody has their phoneen out. Look at this. You should take a picture of that. We are, arent we .

We are going to have those Companies Come pouring back in when b youve seen whats been happening over the last three weeks. And we are going to have a lot of things happen. You either read about them i dont know. Let me ask you. Should i keep the twitter going or not . Keep it going . [applauding] i think so. You know. The enemies keep saying, oh, thats terrible but its a way of bypassing Dishonest Media, right . But i just want to thank you. We started out we werent given a great chance, but we knew we were going to win. It took two weeks before we went to number one, not a long time. The first week was composed in terms of the phony polls, composed of two days. So we were at number one, and we stayed there the entire route during the primaries, and then, boy, did i work those last four weeks. I worked oh, ay ay ay. That was some job. We did a good job together. I tell you what. Many ofof the people in these rooms went to the rallies with us. They went to those rallies. I saw one person on television tonight. Incredible family. Her and her husband. She said, weve gone to 42 trump rallies. I said, 42 . 42 . We did, we had a lot of people that went to a lot of the rallies. You know, when we went in, i really felt that last week in particular said, how are we going to lose . How can we lose . There is too much. There has never been a Movement Like this anywhere in the world. There is never been like that. I am so looking forward i just left, actually, the oval office because because our great general mad dog mattis was approved tonight. The senate approved, he was first. And i went to sign, and mike pence who is coming out in a second, you saw what happen, right . He just swore him in. And general kelly we are going to have a border again. He was approved tonight by the senate. So we are starting to work and we are doing a great job. We are not going to let you down. Remember the theme. Make America Great again and make America Great again i will tell you what. Ive added since ive gotten to know so many people in this country, greater than ever before. It will happen. So i want to thank everybody for being with us and sticking with us and its been an amazing experience and now the fun begins, okay . Now the fun begins. We are going to do a really good job, and i will be fighting every single day for you. Thank you, every body. Thank you, and have a great night. Thank you.

Welcome to hannity. The 45th president sworn in earlier today of course, the entire trump family. Joining us now, Geraldo Rivera, our good friend. Look at that smile on your face. The host of fox friends. Its a happy time for our friend. I hate to personalize this that way, but it was a delight 20 minutes ago to get him on the phone and to congratulate. Sean i wasnt planning on mentioning that. He called sean its really a very special how are you feeling . Sean can we put their mic up, i dont hear it in my ears. You know what . Its really everyone kept asking me after the election, how do you feel. My answer is same. Relief . Eight years of i think really tough times for those of us who are conservative that didnt like the direction of the country. This wasec amazing. This is a pageantry to this. You were talking about that early. Explain what you thought. Firstt of all, you are bombarded here. Everyone loves the two of you. Everyone is taking pictures of you. Sean because you are with us. [laughs] as a journalist, i try to tell both sides. But you are able to give your opinion and you had a big hand in that. Its really powerful to see the impact. Sean i would say this. It takes a lot of spokes and a will to make the wheel go aroun around. When i went on the road so many with them, i felt what i feel in this crowd tonight. A sense of enthusiasm that weve been going in the wrong direction and what ive loved about his speech, hes talking about doing the things that he promised on the campaign trail. Wanted to roll up the sleeves and get to work. At the end he will be judged on that. Beautiful family. If you talk about melanias story, she became a citizen ten years ago and shes the first lady of United States ofno america. Sean, you talk about your path. You talk about what you came from as well. [laughter] its a true american story. If you work really hard, which hea dies, he doesnt sleep, heo doesnt drink alcohol, hes not a big partier, he gets up in the morning after an hour, two hours of sleep . Sean i reveal one thing that most of the conversations ive had with them as i was looking for an interview, even, where at 1 00 in the morning. Yet. Sean he is always up late, im always up late, geraldo he can run circles around us. I dont want to lose the poit youre making about pageantrys. What we witnessed today is the grandeur of the american republic. Regardless where you stand politically, philosophically, ideologically, to watch the 44th tpresident yield to the 45th president and to see the peaceful transition of power, and thenof to see the pomp and circumstance of putting aside the discourse. There was so much respect for the flag, for the country, and for the office of the presidency. I am honored to know and be friends that sean are you going to have a moment like when obama went into office, or are you you know, you cant minimize that magistrate is something very special. We dont have a monarch. We dont have a king. We have a civilian leader elected by the people and he assumes power and everyone gets it except for the troublemakers throwing rocks through the windows. I tell you what every woman is talking about, how beautiful melania looks tonight. Her outfit isit spectacular ando classy. She brings class and polish into the white house, not that it hasnt been there before, but she is just exquisite. Its so fun as a female to really appreciate that. A reallypr beautiful family. Sean i like the defined guy that was up there saying, they say i shouldnt keep my twitter. Im keeping it. I love by the way, and then he goes, im going to bypass the Dishonest Media and he starts pointing up here. Im like, not here. And he goes, we are going to build a wall. Its going to be greater than ever. I like that part. I like in his speech when he told me i feel your pain. When you are in need, we want to Work Together as a country and still have unity. Sean weve got to take a quick break. We will talk more about this but will have more with ainsley and geraldo throughout the night. Weve got more coming up on this two hour addition of. Michelle malkin is here. We have everybody here. And we got a pretty rowdy crowd. All my rowdy friends are hanging out here tonight. We will continue from the freedom ball. Announcer please welcome the unforgettable silhouettes. Once upon a time a girl with golden locks broke into a house owned by three bears. She ate some porridge, broke the baby bears chair, and stole some jewelry, a flatscreen tv, and a laptop. Luckily the Geico Insurance agency had helped the bears with homeowners insurance. They were able to replace all their items. Including a new chair from crate and barrel. Call geico and see how easy it is to switch and save on homeowners insurance. Sean all, welcome back. Sorry, we are sitting here talking and having a great time. We are broadcasting live tonight. We are at the freedom ball in washington, d. C. , where President Trump and his family made an appearance. They are now on their way to salute our armed forces. We are going to take that life. We continue with Ainsley Earhardtdt, Geraldo Rivera. Im watching the reaction. Its veryer interesting. This is a fox crowd. This is a hometown crowd. No doubt about it. You and geraldo sean i pointed to our neighbors next door and i said, a bad word. They started chanting it. It was reallyly funny. He was busy with these executive orders. Well mattis is now confirmed. , and kelly, homeland security. He wrote the executive order, withstanding any new regulation regulations. I want to get back to something that ainsley said when she was talking about the First Lady Melania Trump he and she looked beautiful. I will give credit to he has a l family. Did i give you a heart attack . I was always disappointed in michelle and a some of the thins she said, but its notni political. More importantly, you look at that family, everyone is up on that stage and in their own right, they are strong, independent, and they all coalesced around their father, and their fatherinlaw. They all went to bat for him. So many people say to me, he cant be that bad. Look howid great his family is. As a new parent myself, you look atel their family and mostf the people, most of the viewers are parents. You guys are. Look at them and you know they are hosting a dream that he has for his children. I look at them and i think, its just the american dream. You want so badly to give your children a better life than you had, hes done h that. Hes risen a wonderful family, it seems. I asked him last night when i had an interview with him what his parents would be thinking, he said, my mother was a strong person. And today, he was holding the lincoln bible, melania was holding it, which i thought was nice. And his mothers bible was on top. And in jamaica queens, where he grew up. As a mother, i pray for my daughter every single day. That god places blesses her li. I know his mother did the same thing. And though her son has become the president of the United States. He marriedte a lady that becamea citizen ten years ago. If thats not the american dream, i dont know what is. Sean well said. Ive gotten to know these people. Weve interviewed them. You know john, and whats amazing are the stories they would tell about their father. They dont have access to the families money. They fly commercial. They all have had to earn their keep within the trump organization, which they have alll done. And each one of them in and of their own right gave a measure of respect and success, but when the time came to rally around their father, don junior was doing ten cities, eric was doing 15 cities. I think that melania stole the show. I mean, i love the family. As a president , terrific. But this first lady will be a fashion icon. Going to set a cultural tone. I think michelle did a fantastic job and deservedly one of the most popular public figures. I think melania will similar be in a way that wille make fashin shout again. I dont know nothing all of this stuff. Ralph lorenz, she decided to go with an american designer. I went online to find out how much it was and if i could afford it. You can even buy it. I think he designed only for her. One of the number one trending searches on yahoo right now. All my girlfriendsng have been texting all day long about it. Its very jackieo. Sean ari lot of people were wondering if i would be wearing wearing if russian oligarchy had 4 million, they get lady gaga and elton john, why cant somebody like desh, im so disappointed in hollywood andho the pressure they put on people and black people not to show up, i think its sean are you going to come back earlier, we will see you in a little bit. Up next, also a friend of donald trump and judge jeanine shapiro, salute to the Armed Services ball. Thate and more as we continue o live from the freedom ball in washington, d. C. , the 45th president of the United States inaugurated today, donald j. Trump, will continue. Retirement journey takes you, we can help you reach your goals. Call us or your advisor t. Rowe price. Invest with confidence. Sean an sean welcome back to hannity. We are at the freedom ball in washington, d. C. President donald trump. , is on n their way to salute the armed forces at the Armed Services ball. We will take you there lie when he arrives. Palmetto fort and the guys, good to see you. You know, when you came on board. I remembere early on there was three people. You were confident from day one. I remember the first conversations we had. Donald trump understood america. There was no question in my mind watching his message that he had figured out what the media was reporting on was the great country of main street america was suffering. He saw it. He knew it. Knowing donald, i knew that he would only get into something that he wanted to put himself into and results would be all that mattered. How did everybody else miss that . I talk to people every day, i Read Economic statistics every day. How could anyone with a clear conscience or thought process thinks the iran deal went well . This is the first election ive been a part of where the narrative was written before the race was run. The media and the establishment didnt want to vary from their narrative, and they felt that because trump was not a part of it, hed have no chance. Same arrogance that trump talked about with brexit that he said would happen in november, and he did. Sean i dont remember in history where a movement has onen strongly defined by a t personality as we see here a guy thats never been inn office before. Hes the most incredible candidate ive ever worked for. Always, hes the most incredible candidate. But he believed in what he was doing. The reason the establishment and the whole system couldnt get to him is because he was confident that what he was doing was what the American People h wanted. Sean there werepl a couple of different points, you and i stayed in touch when you were in the campaign, when you left the campaign. You never lost that confidence. I remember talking about a week before the election, you are 100 confident. You and i were going over the electoral math together, and you got it right. I had a little bit of a map than you did, i had new hampshire. I thought colorado might be in play a little bit more, but the rust belt really came through. Thats where people have suffered theal most. My concern before the election was that people were not going to believe that we won when we won. Ive been talking w to people. I talked to people over the weekend, look, id know you think im crazy, but let me put it on theou map. Youre not going to likeo what youre going to hear, but its going to happen on tuesday. Trump the appeal he had in the rust belt was there. You could see it through the there, the responses, everything. People were paying no attention to it. And when hillary kept giving trump a free ride in those states, for him to walk in, its all he neededd to be. Sean i dont know if it wouldve paid off if she did go. R she never understood this is a changed election. And he did. And the American People did. And his speech today, his inaugural speech today, was right on message. Sean chuck todd today after he gives his speech, he still below to make the water. We dont know which one will show up. The same one who showed up for the last circle years. What did you expect works all of a sudden, hell become an establishment . I dont think thats ever going to happen. People who criticize their speechit today, theyll criticie everything he does because they dont get it. They dont get the American People, they dont get donald trump, if they get one they will get the other because those two are in sync in this country and today he offered to. What hes done in the transition, which the media was looking for him to verify, hes done this transition when he said he was their candidate. Sean its funny, different opinions with geraldo talking about the pageantry and ainsley was talking about the family. What stood out to me was when he said, s i will not let you dow and he went through some of the promises and h talked about twitter and then he said, should i stay on twitter, the crowd said yes, securing the borders,rs not only making amera great but greater than ever. That is the person i got to know when i interviewed. I also saw a lot of growth in him in the year and a half through the campaign. I knew him beforehand, i watched him throughout the process, and i saw incredible growth and his trajectory said hes never seen in politicsg before. Besides understanding the American People, he understood how to speak to them. The more he reacted to the reactions to the people, the more he helped them grow. Politics is an art. Sean the art of the deal is different from the art of political war, great job. Great to seeee you. When we come back, weve got judge shapiro, but we are waiting for the president of United States donald trump to arrive at the salute of the Armed Services ball. That more as we continue. Hannity from our Nations Capital from our nations captiol sean welcome back to hannity. We are live from our nations capitol tonight at the freedom tiball. We are awaiting any minute now inwe appearance from President Donald Trump and the First Lady Melania Trump and his family to salute our Armed Services at the Armed Services ball. We are going to takeke you live there. Do you guys want to say hello . Weve got a great crowd of people. Theyve been watching all night. I cant hear you. Do you have a good time at the ball tonight . All right. We have a great crowd here. Joining us now is the host of and new york city mayoral candidate bo dietl. Now [crowd chanting usa] nobody is doing this for cnn. You brought me a new football. Dont you dare throw that. No, no, no, no, no that was an egg. No. Shawn. No, sean. You dont want to pay for this. Sean this looks like a football. You are very good. You are very good. Sean do you even know what that t is . Is a purse. Why would you even know that. Sean they are saying throw that ball. No, no, no, no. You got it for free . No, i didnt. Is her pocketbook. Sean i got it. Heres what i want to ask you, bo dietl bo. All of you went all in for donald trump. I was all in, too. I am happy because i believe we have to follow through in his agenda and i think he will be a four years from now, we will be better off. More jobs, stronger country, borders secure, better people on the Supreme Court, Energy Independence, hopefully. I thinkul what its all abou, people have to let him go. Give him his shot, given his chance. Sean people are leading cause of fire tonight. Thats the other thing. All over the city, inspires them to throw rocks . The pointt is, give the guy a chance. If you didnt vote for him or not, whatever the process, you got to give them an opportunity. His speech today was great. I love the idea of bringing people together. We have to bring everyone together. We are all americans. You know what . This is all great. Lets bring everyone together. Heres the bottom line. Heres the bottom line. You break the law under donald trump, they are going to be consequences. Its going to be law ands order. I ran into burning cars as i was coming up here. Hes talking about how sad it was on the street. Sean its bad. It wass bad. Im purposely not talking a lot about it. Sean they dont deserve it. I tell you what they deserve. They deserve to be prosecuted. They deserve to be convicted. They deserve to be punished. This is not first amendment. This is criminal anarchy. I was talking to cops out there. You got those helmets. I said now you got to lock up thev trouble markers. You see all these guys go away. Do you know what the problem is with like you dont care about it. Americans right now are proud of it. Look at new york sean everybody wants your ball. They want yours. Its true. This is a great night. Donald trump President Donald Trump all i can say is look at what he did. 20,000 people shut the streets down throwing rocks at the cops two nights ago, he was in new york city with this big demonstration. Hey, you want to demonstrate which might demonstrate peacefully. Break the law, hurt somebody, you get locked up. Sean you guys stay right there. We have to take a break. We expect that donald trump will be at the Armed Services ball. When that happens, we will bring that to you live. Hell be there with the first lady. Of course, mike pence, the new Vice President and his wife and both their families. Thats all coming up you have to come, the special two hour addition of hannity, from the freedom ball continues. Constipated . Trust number one doctor recommended dulcolax use dulcolax tablets for gentle overnight relief suppositories for relief in minutes and stool softeners for comfortable relief of hard stools. Dulcolax, designed for dependable relief and theyre absolutely right. They say that its hot. When really, its scorching. And while some may say the desert is desolate. We prefer secluded. What is the desert . Its absolutely what you need right now. Absolutely scottsdale. Sean and welcome back to hannity. We are moments away from President Trump appearing at the salute to our Armed Services ball. We will take you there as soon as he steps on the stage. Joining us is syndicated columnist michelle malkin. Michelle maskingv. Investigates and a special assistant now to President Trump. Forrest epstein is with us. Its going to be very special for you. Ive been on board with the movement at the very beginning. I went from being a supporter to a servant, sr. So proud of what weve done. Now the great honor of serving the president. Sean i made your life and Anthony Scaramuccis life and living horror. Hes got a new nickname, ticketmaster. Sean tonight, they are having fun. Thats anthonys family. Sean people dont know, there is literally a stage here, a stage here, he stage here. I would say how many people are in this room . At least 20,000. A huge number. And then the Armed Services ball. Sean that was by invitation, right . Also, mightily, thats a new edition. The president now donald trump enrich their lives to keep americans safe. Sean a change in the course, michelle malkin. I dont want to go backwards, a night of celebration. I think adding first responses, firemen, those people that put their lives onem p the line, whe are going down the building to get out, they are the ones going up in the other direction. Wow. D this is a huge culture change, sean. And we have a statement on the new white house web site, rejecting the antipolice cultur culture. This is such. A relief to lawabiding americans, especially the Law Enforcement community who suffered under an Obama Administration where they were persecuted and demonized. This is a night of revelry and celebration. There is also a reminder that all of those cops on the beat, Law Enforcement at every level have worked there lives off for america. And finally they have a commanderinchief who respects and reveres them. Sean i think thats a good point. And i dont want to give them a lot of attention, but there are people have been burning cars. There are little mobs. I saw a guy last night literally get chased into a secure area, fighting for his life a couple of hundred people were chasing him. Very unfortunate. I think the process of the inaugural period, he still raw. In this country. Its important to honor it. There has to be rawls, rules, regulations, sean. All those folks, just stop. Ifif you have an encouraging message, express it. Express it peacefully, dont break cars but whats the point . Sean i think you were appealing to people capable of stopping, they wont stop. They choose not to. Weve seen a lot of this, though, in the last couple of years. I think one of the biggest mistakesi weve made, president obama made, michelle, being on the wrongth side of the highprofile racial issues like ferguson and baltimore and the Cambridge Police and trayvon martin, he created an atmosphere where people felt that they would never come when evidence was finally ultimately presented. That is the politics of chicago. And it was the demonization of those who stand with law and order. There is a reason why so many Border Patrol agents signed up and lined up with donald trump very early on. And while you saw all of the heroic families of illegal immigration and Illegal Immigrants criminals. And it was the fact that donald trump alone among the g. O. P. Ru candidates, so many of them opened borders who didnt understand what donald trump understood. They were, as you so often put it,e sean, the forgotten men and women. Sean you know, lets get back to that. Donald trump i thought when he was here at this freedom ball and he said, i will fight for you every single solitary day. I like the fact that he went back to not only make America Great again but greater than ever. These are the things im going to do. Ive gotten to know him a lot over the last couple of years, ive done a lot of interviews with them. A lot of town hallsrv with him. Andhe since the election, his message doesnt shift. Its not changed. He seems very focused on an agenda and thats something that he was talking about the establishment and in d. C. Today, his inaugural address, may be saying that weve got to change how we do businesso here. Cpac, there is one word tht describes trump. That is confidence and authent. Donald trump is an authentic ma man. He a says what he believes and believes what he says. Thats why hes the president. And thats so amazing for someone we came here has jewish refugees. Im so proud of everything this country has gone, everything hes done for the country. Thats the giveandtake that so vital to the american culture, that donald trump understands it like no other. Seeing him comes one as the one its an amazing thing, how much power. They call it the bully pulpit of the presidency, how much power that president can have. Es i would argue that within 90100 days, 90 of Barack Obamas agenda through executive orders is like he was never there. But weve got to break. Thank you, michelle. Now we are waiting. The President Donald Trump at the salute to the Armed Services ball. Weve gotot another hour of hannity straight ahead, and i hope you stay with us as we continue. To anticipate. Is lexus. The lexus rx with advanced safety standard. Another antiwrinkle cream in no hurry to make anything happen. Neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair works. In one week. With the. Fastest retinol formula.

We are just moments away, President Trump appearing at the salute to the Armed Services ball. We welcome back Ainsley Earhardt, Geraldo Rivera. You guys are having fun. I saw you guys out there dancing, hanging out with people. Ainslie has amazing energy. Ever wants to take a picture with her. Sean maybe its its horrible your piece i thought they were calling your name. I want one too. Weve had a great time. You know, the fun part about the last year and a half, weve had such a great time at the fox family, weve traveled so much together. So last night, we were out. The two of these guys we treat ran into a protest, some guy was throwing eggs that you all, all the security guards are pushing us inside the auditorium. They were saying bring it on. Bring it on. Sean you had like five or your couple friends. Your own little posse going on. Geraldo goes to me, lets go talk to them. I walk over, the guy threw an egg. I quickly ducked. When he took my hand and he pulled me, thats when i wanted to punch him. Sean thats so shocking, by the way. Hold on, ive got it, lets go to the Armed Services ball.

I just want to tell you that general matus was just approved by the senate. General kelly was just approved by the senate. And isnt it something . Two generals are the first ones.

Thank you all very much. We will see you and keep fighting. We are going to win. We are going to win. We are going to win. Keep fighting. Thank you. Why cant all people be like that . Six questions and six congratulations. Weve done two up these. We had big crowds, 10,000. 12,000. And i guess theres two more that im supposed to go to. At some point, im going to say first of all, did you hear the speech today . And actually even the media said the crowd was massive. So, finally. That was all the way back down to the washington monument. And that was what was supposed to be rain, turned out not to be rain. It was beautiful. Let me just say this. You are special people, you are great, great people. I have your back. Were going to do great things for our country. You know, i ran, the journey started 18 months ago. People said we dont have a big chance. We went to number one about would you say two weeks or three weeks into the polls . We went to number one in the primaries. And then we just stayed there and we did well and it wasnt so much me. It was me, i did a good job as a messenger. But i am your messenger, just remember that. I am your messenger. But it all began with a theme, and the theme is make America Great again. And ive gotten to know the people of our country so well. Ive been all over. And we had tremendous victories. I will tell you, we have the greatest people on earth. We are not only going to make America Great again, we are going to make America Greater than ever before. So i want to thank all of you, you are very, very special people. Honey, select him back say something. First lady trump thank you all for your service. I am honored to be your first lady. We will fight, we will win, and we will make America Great again. Thank you. Sean i would assume really . But i know i will think of you every step of the way and i will always love you will always love you im thinking of you with me, so goodbye and please dont c cry we both know im not what you, you need and i will always love you will always love you mama i hope life treats you kind and i hope you have all youve dreamed of and i wish you joy and happiness but above all this i wish you love and i. Will always love you i will always love you i will always love you baby oh, i will always love you [cheering and applauding] [crowd chanting usa] sean there is the president and the first lady, i believe that is the Armed Services ball. It looks like theyve got a cake back there. He saw there was a satellite hookup with some soldiers in afghanistan and actually questioning the new president. Im not exactly sure what this looks like it, it looks like a cake. Lets watch what happens. Its a cake. And hes going to use his sword, Ainsley Earhardt and Geraldo Rivera join us. It was pretty touching know to watch him take these questions from these servicemen and women in afghanistan. And while melania the first lady and the president were dancing and the Vice President and his wife, than to switch off with members in the military, i thought there was a touching moment. We all agreed with that. I thought it was wonderful. At first we didnt see the shot of them come out the individuals in the middle east fighting for our country. I thought it was taking questions from the crowd. The thing about it, sean. This is the ball i usually go to. I remember in 2004, george w. Bushs second inauguration, going to the ball and there was a grimness to it that i cant begin to describe. We were losing so many in iraq and afghanistan. We were losing seven, eight gis a day. Afghanistan was still ongoing. Now the depressing thing about it is i dont want to put it thats 2005, this is 2017. We are still in afghanistan. We are still in iraq. Sean i think one of the things that stood out, i remember the day, i was broadcasting and you were in afghanistan. You kept pointing over your shoulder saying Osama Bin Laden was in those mountains. And he was. I think one thing that donald trump has been very clear about, he is going to build a military, fix our va, which is so important. The second thing is he doesnt want to get entangled in any foreign wars. Thats the point i wanted to make. He made a very specific point of saying it is part of its National Policy now. The annihilation of islamic extremism. Sean what a d mark takes in given what has transpired since 2005 2005 coats sea of barack obama keep he would never say it, he would never he was threading the needle. Right in the middle of that inaugural speech today, donald trump said those words which i think whats a strong message. There is a new sheriff in town. Yeah, our country needs that. Our care wow grandparents fought in world war ii. Theres so many war stories from them. Its really cool to hear him say that. Our country cannot afford to not have strong borders or National Security. He also said recently that he wants to take care of our troops when they come back and help them get jobs or if they want to go back out and fight, hell get them back on the front lines. Many of them are selfmedicati selfmedicating suicide. Sean theres 250,000 troops that have fought in afghanistan and iraq that have ptsd. If we cant fix the va fast enough, we will let them go to any hospital in the country to get the care that this country promised them. Geraldo, we agreed on the war for the most part. We did. I think thats where we bonded mostly. Sean really . We disagreed on almost everything else. Sean i will say this, somebody that supported the war for all the right reasons i believe, we have to pause. If we are going to send 5,000 men to fight, bleed, and die. And then to hand it over to is isis, if i am the father or mother of one of those sons or daughters, vietnam, 58,000 people died. We politicize the war. We pulled out, we dont win it. I absolutely agree. Especially with ainsleys domestic told that she mention mentioned. When you are saying youre going to annihilate islamist extremism, what is that mean . Are we going to reexploit the fight . Iraq is almost easier in the sense that we know it going to take the second largest city back. Weve got to get to syria, get isis out of syria. Where does it go though . Hes got the right guys. Hes got to general matus. Sean mad dog matus. You guys have been troopers. You are up what time in the morning . I think 3 00 a. M. We go on from 610 tomorrow and you are going to be on the show. Yes. I will be on to it. Sean im gonna let you to go. Blood he marries for brunch. Ill bring them. Champagne and orange. Sean one a night to celebrate. Now by the way, larry elder with reaction. I know it might be a little different, we are here at the ball. How do you take this in. Seeing it from that distance . All i can say is wow. What a breathtaking day. Weve gone from having a president who would not utter the words radical islam to one who second defense referred to as mad dog. There absolutely is a new sheriff in town. Already, President Trump has signed executive orders to rollback some of the regulations on obamacare and to put a moratorium on the job killing regulations. 100 billion for every of the president obama has been an office on the backs of job providers. Who already, we are seeing a huge huge difference. This is an extraordinary day. It was a very feisty, robust 60 minute inaugural speech that he gave. He played the hits. Ive never heard of inaugural address quite like that. Sean whats interesting is, you get some of the observations of the liberal media, the alt radical left media. They can believe that donald trump was donald trump. Im saying, if it wasnt so silly, its almost amusing that they thought oh, well hes been in washington 10 minutes. Maybe now he is one of us. Maybe hell be the person we think you should be. Because we cant believe the person he was actually won. In that sense, its entertaini entertaining. Its also indicative of the battle he will face against an establishment media. An establishment democrats and republicans. No question. Hes roughly what, 12 hours in . We havent had any gulags, concentration camps. So far he hasnt launched world war iii. Shockingly. Meanwhile, one of our other competitive cable channels, they referred to that speech as dark. To do so to say you are putting america first, secure the bord border, thats xenophobic or hateful . Please. Some people believe that when you say youre going to put america first, you mean youre going to put america first. Sean larry elder, great to have you on this inauguration day. Will be come back, we are live from washington, d. C. He is the reverend Darrell Scott and dr. Sebastian gorka. Coverage from our nations coverage from our Nations Capital straight bp gives its offshore teams 24 7 support from onshore experts, so we have extra sets of eyes on our wells every day. Because safety is never being satisfied. And always working to be better. Now the work begins. We have to get it done. And we will get it done. There is so much spirit in our country. This is such a great country. And we are going to do things. We will not be taken advantage of anymore. Okay . Sean that was President Donald Trump earlier tonight at the freedom ball where we have been broadcasting from all night. Joining us now with reaction, dr. Sebastian gorka. And the referent Darrell Scott. It took a lot of heat for supporting donald trump. I know, from the black community. Sean are people coming around . Yeah, people are coming around. Even more will come around because donald trump is going to do what he said he was going to do. Hes going to deliver on it. They are going be impressed. Sean i have always as a conservative, we had this discussion one night, at a restaurant, not a bar. It struck straight to me that every four years, the Democratic Party will play the race card. Republicans are racist, sexist, islamic phobic, all this nonsense. Its not true. If donald trump does send education back to the states, does fix the inner city schools that are broken, if he can fix a city like detroit, or milwaukee, or cleveland and philly, and bring jobs to the black community, can the demographics shift where the black community will now vote in greater numbers to republicans . Yeah come on because hes going to do some undeniable things. We already have some major initiatives. In the formation stage. When these things come out, when it pops. Its going to be great. Its good to be undeniable. The bible talks about the undeniable truths. Theyre going to be some undeniable truths that come out of the Trump Administration for the black community. Like what are these guys doing . Boycotting the election . Ive got a suggestion. Why dont they all just quit. Why dont dale just quit. Sean did you see steve harvey . The president elect, no president invites him to come for a meeting. If president obama invited me, i would be there in 10 minutes. He came back on and said you hurt me, you hurt me. Dont let your animates know that they hurt you. Whats funny though, steve harvey is one of the guys that was fighting against me. He got on his Radio Program and said dont go to that guy. Sean did he say that . He did it on the air. I feel bad for him. He would have done. Sean wait a minute. Barack obama i never liked. Because of his policies. Because of his views, because of its radical background. I wouldve been hi we have stragglers, thats always good. Dr. Gorka, thats always good. I talk a lot about the economy. The president now mentioned today radical islam in his inaugural speech, which was very different from what weve experienced the last eight yea years. Howhow is that message being received . In your study. Everything has changed. When he used those three words today, radical islamic terrorism, he put the marker down for the whole National Security establishment. Everybody heard it. Law enforcement, National Intelligence security, our allies and our enemies heard it. No more political correctness. Youre not going to rename it. Sean does not mean they want to accept the challenge or that means weve got to be more careful and there will be consequences . I think both. The guys inside the machine that ive had the honor of working with, who have just been shackled and realized, now we can go to war because we can be truthful about who the enemy is. The people especially at the top, the brandons of the world come of the people just below that, the carriers for the administration, they are on notice. No more propaganda. No more twisting the truth. For both audiences, the new commanderinchief made it unequivocal, sean. Sean ive got different times, if im barack obama and im listening to radical islamic terrorism, im listening to we are going to fix this, this, and this. Its got a sting a little bit because the numbers. I can name a place on this earth thats better off. If you want talk about libya, benghazi, iran. Africa. The middle east. They are all on fire. Sean everything is worse. Economically, its worse off. But now the new sheriff, new commanderinchief. Sean because its about, to me that provides opportunity. Hi, guys they are all having fun. There is an opportunity. Their optimism. There is optimism nationwide. I know you are going to agree with me. We get up every morning, wondering what donald trump is going to do today. What is President Trump going to say today . We rush to twitter, what did he tweet . Thats expectation and enthusiasm, even his detractors get up every day wondering what is he going to say. It is he going to do. Its a good feeling. Sean how soon will he be tested on the National Security front . When you look at actors like north korea, vladimir putin, what have they been doing for the last decade . They are pushing, constantly prodding. I would guess that those people that are not interested, really collaborating, they are going to test us. Theyre going to test donald trump. Hes got to deal with that but hes got an amazing team. Its just all stars. General mattis, mike flynn. General kelly. We have the grownups in the building. There will be tests, crisis, but they will deal with it. Do you think they will be less . With a mad dog mattis and mike flynn. Sean good to see you both. What a day. Sean hannity was supposed to come to my church and he didnt show up. Sean i called you, have to change the date. You called. I try to put you on blast. Sean you are trying to embarrass me on national television. I cant believe it. He he can be bringing it to cleveland. Sean we are all spokes on a wheel. When we come back, much more from washington, d. C. Coming up next as we continued the coverage of the inauguration of donald j. Trump, the 45th president of the United States. The bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when gods people live together in unity. We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity. When america is united, america when america is united, america is totally achoo snap achoo snap achoo achoo snap snap achoo achoo feel a cold coming on . Zicam cold remedy nasal swabs shorten colds with a snap, and reduce symptom severity by 45 . Shorten your cold with a snap, with zicam. I need to promote my new busi can make that happen. Et. Business cards . Business cards, brochures, banners. Pens . Pens, magnets, luggage tags, bumper stickers. How about foam fingers . Like these . Now, get 15 off making your company stand out. Staples. Make more happen. Let me ask you. Should i keep the twitter going or not . Keep it going . [cheering and applauding] i think so. You know. The enemies keep saying, thats terrible, but it said away bypassing Dishonest Media. Sean i think the crowd was 99. 9 yes. Joining us now from the american conservative union, you think back when we started this process. Cpac, i interviewed donald trump, rand paul, jeb bush, marco rubio you did an interview all of them. Sean most of them. You and i were talking about, weve got a lot of good candidates. You dont know whats going to happen. Out of that emerged this movement. Think about it. In july, the talk from the abundance was that the Republican Party was dead. End of the party. All that dissecting analysis. And Donald Trumps president. Sean it went right to the heart of the establishment. I think there is a certain disconnect out there among the Political Class definitely. Sean you two are married, you live in washington, and i read an article that you were disinvited from dinners, parties, had enemies. I was told my career was over, my reputation was sunk because we didnt have the character to stand up against donald trump. Our response was the same thing, but when we go out and talk to americans, what they want sean the difference between you and me, all these other guys i dont like you never liked anyway, i would just go blasted them back. You have a little bigger megaphone the start of never trump was in washington. It was capac, it was an effort to say that this voice we are hearing from the people is wrong, immoral and intolerant. I really believe donald trump, he gave us a list of 20 or original lists from the Supreme Court. When he makes that appointment, what is he going to say now . Its going to be huge sean how could they not have factor that in . I do believe a tail Aspect Campaign and my catholic friends who were never trumpers, they voted for trump. T sean i believe the promises on judges and or regionalism originalism so many things going on. What about what hes doing with american businesses . He is challenging them to double down in the best of america. They are. Its amazing. Sean i love it. Its a little bit look, if you also didnt back up with, i will get rid of the bureaucracy of the regulations its a bargain. Sean listen. One thing i said about donald trump, everything with them is a negotiation. Look, well look at the regulations hurting your business, we will lower the Corporate Tax rates dramatically, and well make a better requirement. Why would you go there where im going to punish you . Slow moving congress is freaking out. Sean i love that, too. There was a corporate freak out and a congressional freak out. Sean, we are so proud everything you did this year not because you try to do anything to stack the deck, you just cap speaking the truth. Im proud of my wife, too. Sean i said, you guys are going to go boat. I made everybody stand and say youre a guy is not going to lose, youre going to be a crybaby. You were very fair in the primary process. Donald trump became that nominee, it was a moment of unity. The fact is he was the only one who couldnt win. At the time everybody kept saying that hes the only one hes the guy you can connect to the guy whos got his name stitched to the front of the uniform. His speech tonight being criticized by the left was brilliant. She said, this is your movement , i thought it was so effective. He came across as being the peoples president. Sean weve got to leave you guys. Congratulations. Weve got a new found president right. Its amazing. Weve got a radio show serious xm. Sean what do you call it . That would be great radio. When we come back, my friend louis gomer will join us live from washington, d. C. Donald trump, the 45th president of the United States of america. What truly matters is not which Party Controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.

Because they are very elegant people tonight. But they also are very political people, right . We want to see great things happen for our country. We want to make America Great again. Sean all right. That was i was going to say president elect. President trump earlier today at this inaugural ball. Joining us is texas congressman louis gomer. You are getting. You are happy. I shook John Boehners hand. Its a good day. Sean let me ask you this. Is Congress Going to fight him, are republicans going to support his agenda . The biggest threat is not the fighting its what happened in 05, 06, my first term where you had a Republican Senate leader. They were okay. Yeah, well get it done. It gets to may, june. Maybe october. Well, we get it after the first year, after the first year, it was too late. We will have to wait till next year. We cant wait like that. A bigger threat than an outright fight is delayed, delay, delay. Sean republicans raised the debt ceiling 1. 7 trillion over ten years. Look. Lets put our numbers in the rain. Its a vehicle to get the reveal repeal past. I made it clear, a lot of guys had. To repeal obamacare, you have to raise the debt ceiling. Sean you do. You dont. Sean why would they propose that . Im not blaming you. You dont want to do this. That bill that became the vehicle that will help us reveal his agenda on refugees. Sean do you agree with his agenda on repatriation . Exactly. Sean 100 repatriation tax for everyone overseas . Sean well, i dont thinkd have a taxes to bring money in. There was a former fdic chair named isaacs. He said you dont need the wall street bailout. Weve got trillion dollars overseas americans have. If you would just say no tax on anything that you earned overseas and you bring in, you invest in what we say is troubled. We can save lehman brothers. Any of them, we could save gm, we wouldnt have to have chrysler sell fiat. We couldve saved all of those if all of that American Capital earned overseas, they cant bring tax to pay that in. Sean will beget Energy Independence . Will we get a wellbuilt . Will we get 15 Corporate Tax rate . We have got to. Sean are we going to get an originalist on the Supreme Court . I think he would. I would like to see my friend ted cruz there myself. I dont think he was on the list of 20. Sean i would think he would be a great Supreme Court justice. Then how long he would be there. Think about how long to match just to push them out. We are going to get these things done. Sean is there any part of the trump agenda that you see, which i think is pretty bold and ambitious, that you think hell have a problem getting through . All of it. The biggest threat is slow walking it. We cant let that happen. I know a lot of people say youve got to do a repeal and replace at the same time. Well, if you eliminate the right to monopolize Health Insurance companies have, nobody else gets to avoid antitrust laws. If you dont do that and you sell across state lines instead of having 50 monopolies, you will have one. We have got to allow to sell across state lines, but weve got to eliminate the exceptions that will allow entrepreneurs. You talk about Health Insurance, they are the key. Sean one of the good guys. An exciting day. A great day for america. My business was built with passion. But i keep it growing by making every dollar count. Thats why i have the spark cash card from capital one. With it, i earn unlimited 2 cash back on all of my purchasing. And that unlimited 2 cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business. Which adds fuel to my bottom line. Whats in your wallet . Sean welcome back to hannity. Thats all the time we have left this evening. Pretty incredible. Peaceful transfer of power. Well be right back in our Nations Capital on monday for the first week of the Trump Administration. Some of the sights and sounds. We monday. Have a great weekend. Hundreds and thousands of people expected to be gathered here on the National Mall to watch donald j. Trump takes place in history as the 45th president of the United States. This is a day thats been a year and a half in the making. It started with the president ial bid that many did not take seriously at all. Is this real . This is real. I am officially running for president of the United States and we are going to make our country great again. Leading in just about every state. I am going knock the hell out of
