Sean spends the show with Jay Sekulow, Ann Coulter, Rose Tennent, Geraldo Rivera and Amanda Knief to break down the scene from President Trump's Inauguration Ceremony. The liberal media wants to downplay the significance and create the narrative that the country will miss President Obama while lamenting President Trump's arrival. The truth is, nobody can protest what the future will hold but it's great to see America put first again... The Sean Hannity Show is live Monday through Friday from 3pm - 6pm ET on iHeart Radio and Hannity.com.

Why?
Because they are the best.
Today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people.
For too long, a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.
Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth.
Politicians prospered, but the jobs left and the factories closed.
The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.
Their victories have not been your victories.
Their triumphs have not been your triumphs.
And while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.
That all changes starting right here and right now.
Because this moment is your moment.
It belongs to you.
It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.
This is your day.
This is your celebration.
And this, the United States of America, is your country.
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.
January 20th, 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.
The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.
Everyone is listening to you now.
You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.
And we all salute the same great American flag.
And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, And they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty creator.
So to all Americans in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words.
You will never be ignored again.
Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams will define our American destiny.
And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.
Together, we will make America strong again.
We will make America wealthy again.
We will make America proud again.
We will make America safe again.
And yes, together, we will make America great again.
Thank you.
God bless you.
And God bless America.
Thank you.
And with that, Donald J. Trump is now the 45th President of the United States of America.
You know, like everything that is Trump and everything that led to his victory, this speech was a stinging rebuke to all the establishment figures that I argue now for the next four years, eight years, however long it's going to be that he's going to be president, are going to be fighting and battling to keep and hold on to and cling to their power.
And because that's how it has worked.
Republican establishment, Democratic establishment, media establishment.
Let me give you a quick example.
You know, I just flipped around the dial real quick.
Let me give you two examples.
Let me give you Chuck Todd of NBC News describing the speech that went to the heart that this government is supposed to serve we, you, the American people.
This is his reaction to it.
I have to say it was surprisingly divisive for an inaugural address.
And I say it this way.
We said it was a challenge.
When you're elected as an outsider, you're elected as a populist, and you're channeling what was real anger out there with his supporters.
It's tough to be both the unifier and that populist carrier.
He went with populism.
And I think that it's going to play well with his folks, but that wasn't the type of inaugural address that was intended to bring this country.
He's playing well with the crowd right now as he reaches out and greets the people who were gathered there.
There was a theme.
There was a new sheriff in town.
America first.
I mean, there was a point there, Lester, where it felt as if he almost was insulting every living president that was sitting next to him.
Well, he was also insulting.
Very personal ways.
He was also insulting all the Republican congressmen and senators who are on that stage.
He has a majority, but he went after politicians point-blank.
Were they expecting him to change?
You know, it's very interesting.
Pay close attention to what Chunk Todd said here.
You know, he went with populism.
You know, that is so entrenched in a bureaucratic way of thinking that somebody that ran on the exact same message would choose to stay on the exact same message and reiterate the promise that he made as a candidate while being inaugurated into the White House.
It almost sounds as if, like, well, we expected him to change.
We expected him to be conciliatory.
We expected him to become one of us.
We expected him to sell out early.
I can't believe he didn't buy into that.
I can't believe that Donald Trump is being Donald Trump.
How could that possibly be?
Anyway, we've got two big stories we are following today.
We are waiting the start of this inaugural parade that takes place, and that is going to happen.
Then tonight the balls are happening.
And we also have another story.
At least 100-plus people have been arrested today.
Tear gas has been fired in the streets of Washington, D.C.
I had an experience last night that I'll tell you about with some of these wackos that are out there.
I don't want to give them too much play, but they exist.
I think it's going to be something, as I've been predicting, that we're going to see and hear every four years.
You know, I would call this conservative populism.
And I know, like, for example, on issues maybe like trade and a couple of other issues that conservatives would take issue with that description, but this was a his agenda is conservative.
When you talk about originalist justices, that's conservative.
Vetting refugees, that's conservative.
Building a wall is what the Republican, quote, conservative opposition was supposed to do.
Cutting taxes is right out of Reagan's handbook and reducing regulation right out of Reagan's handbook.
When you talk about education, sending it back to the state, that is a conservative principle.
Energy independence.
I've been the strongest voice that I know in the country screaming, we've got more resources than we would ever need in a few hundred years, and we never tap into it, and we're dependent on countries that hate us.
That is conservatism.
But I think what he's trying to do here, yay, was sending a message to Washington.
You know, the idea that they think and expect that he's going to shift, adapt, and adjust, and change exactly who he is just because he's now inaugurated is that's kind of breathtaking to me, and it gives away a mindset that I think these people in D.C. have.
And then it even got worse than that.
Let's go to MSNBC.
Let's hear their great analysis.
The same network where their hosts were having Obama gasms when he got inaugurated into office and thrills up their legs.
This was a workmanlike speech.
It was short and he went through it quickly.
And it was militant and it was dark.
The crime, the gangs, the drugs, this American carnage, disrepair, decay.
You can't imagine the outgoing president giving a speech like that.
This president also repeating, the new president also repeating that Our guiding principle will be America First, America First.
We know how he has used that as a campaign slogan.
That does also have very dark echoes in American history.
There was an America First Committee that formed in this country.
Hundreds of thousands of people in this country, some of the richest businessmen in the country who were part of it.
They were formed to keep us out of World War II.
They were infiltrated by the Nazis.
Many of them were anti-Semitic.
Part of why they weren't alarmed by Hitler's rise in Germany.
The America First Committee is something that means a specific thing in this country.
To repurpose it now, not that far down the historical path.
It's hard.
It's hard to hear.
They live in an alter reality.
He explained in the speech what America First is.
Well, we've defended other nations' borders while refusing to defend our own.
And we've spent trillions and trillions overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into deep disrepair and decay.
We've made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has dissipated over the horizon.
And one by one, our factories have been shuttered and left our shores, and with not even the thought of millions and millions of American workers that are left behind.
He's talking about America first.
You know, how are we going to fix other countries of the world when we can't get our own economy straightened out for crying out loud?
It's militant, it's dark, but is it true?
You know, when he was talking at great length that it's the job, it's the role of government to serve its people, that these are just and reasonable demands of a righteous people and a righteous public, and we've had politicians for too long serving themselves, and for too many people, a different reality exists.
And he talked about what is a truth and reality: mothers and children trapped in poverty.
We have 50 million Americans in poverty.
In our inner cities, they're in utter decay.
And rusted-out factories, they're all over the Rust Belt.
They're scattered like tombstones, he said, across the landscape of our nation.
He talked about an education system.
We pay more per capita and we get the worst results.
And he said it leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge.
Yeah, and he addressed crime and gangs.
Can anybody tell NBC over there that 4,000 people in Chicago were slaughtered in the last eight years?
Yeah, that's pretty dark.
That's pretty militant to me.
And saving their lives is a worthwhile goal.
Leaving, you know, crime and gangs and drugs.
How many people have died in the last eight years?
And how has our country been robbed of this untapped potential, underutilized, unrealized potential?
You know, I love the line when he said, We are one nation.
Their pain is our pain.
Their dreams are our dreams.
Their success here, hopefully, will all be our success.
We share one heart, one home, one glorious destiny.
And he said, The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.
That doesn't seem dark.
That doesn't seem militant.
It seems like somebody's rolling up their sleeves and trying to address massive problems that we have ignored for way too long.
Bringing jobs back to America and getting America back to work.
All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity's show from Washington, D.C., Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States.
What I loved about it, what I'm going to do at the bottom of this half hour, I'm going to replay how everybody laughed at the notion, the idea that Donald Trump can be our president.
Because it goes into their analysis of his speech today.
They just couldn't believe that somebody like him could actually be the president.
And when he went into all of the challenges that we will confront and facing a truth and a reality, how can you be a businessman? and be successful if you don't address the problems that your company is facing.
And he talked about for too long this group in Washington has reaped the rewards of government.
And we, the people, have been bearing the cost.
That's just a fact.
That's why they didn't want him.
That's what they don't like about him.
And that's what they don't understand about him.
Is that, you know what?
All this insider garbage has got to go away.
For too long, this group in Washington, these politicians are flourishing.
They don't care about the $50 million on food stamps, $95 million out of the labor force, $43 million in poverty, whatever the numbers are.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
They just don't care because if they cared, they would have addressed their problems.
If they cared about future generations, they would balance budgets.
If they cared about national security and defense and bridges and infrastructure and jobs, then they wouldn't be taking all the money for themselves greedily and trying to redistribute it.
What they do is they take your money.
They redistribute your money.
In the process, they build power for themselves.
And while building power for themselves, you render your freedom useless because they dictate and decide what your future is going to be.
And they can't even put a website together for Obamacare in the process.
These are people that have for way too long protected itself, have not done the things they need to do to serve we, the people, the citizens of this country.
You know, their victories, well, that hasn't helped you.
Their triumphs haven't helped you.
They go to the big parties.
They get the big donations.
They take care of their big corporate donors and their big buddies.
You know, every bill they do is nearly as corrupt.
It's ridiculous.
So the fact that they didn't like this speech, the fact that they don't like Trump, it also means that they really don't like us either.
And they have contempt that he's there.
But here he is, the 45th president.
He has a lot of enemies, the Republican establishment, Democratic establishment, and the media establishment.
And that is going to be the challenge for Donald Trump as he moves forward with his agenda, which we'll get into next.
We'll also play all these people thinking this day could never come.
That's straight ahead from Washington.
So like many of you, I used to suffer from insomnia no matter what I did.
I just couldn't get a perfect night's sleep.
Well, then I met Mike Lindell, the inventor of MyPillow.
He got me fitted for my very own MyPillow, and it's changed my life.
I fall asleep faster.
I stay asleep longer, and now you can too.
Just go to mypillow.com or call 800-467-1962.
Use the promo code Sean to take advantage of Mike's two-for-one offer.
Now, MyPillow is made right here in the USA, has a 60-day unconditional money-back guarantee and a 10-year warranty.
And by the way, you can even wash it and dry it.
Just go to mypillow.com or call 800-467-1962, promo code Sean, to get Mike's special two-for-one offer.
And they're at Capitol Hill at the East Front, and the inaugural parade has now just begun.
Donald Trump, Melania Trump now making their way into the motorcade.
This apparently is a brand new Cadillac that they had put together with apparently every single bell and whistle you could ever imagine in terms of safety and security for a president, which is terrific news, which I think we need, and especially with what is happening.
While Donald Trump was getting sworn in, you might want to listen to this little snowflake.
...to be able to introduce for the first time ever, anywhere, the 45th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.
We're just going to make the phone as you call, man.
Okay.
Okay.
You know, snowflake.
My favorite is the girl's going.
I don't know.
I got to give my girl.
I'm literally about to fing kill myself, and I'm not kidding.
You better fix this shit right now.
I literally am going to die.
I need an ambulance.
Get this girl an ambulance.
That was a Bernie supporter.
But it's pretty crazy.
All right.
So I want to go back.
If you try and understand the analysis or lack thereof of analysis, you know, I read a tweet from Dan Rather today, and I was tempted to just say, hey, Dan, you know nothing about news.
You know nothing about being a reporter.
You think you're great and you're part of the problem because you're so out of touch and you're so arrogant.
These people never vetted Obama.
These people never did their job.
They were sycophants of them.
I asked Donald Trump every single question about everything he would do and every promise he would ever make.
And more details we got out of our interviews in town halls with him than they ever got out of Obama.
And if there was a controversy, of course we'd ask him and we did ask him about those too.
They don't understand this speech today.
They don't understand how the people in this country are feeling.
They don't understand the great divide.
They don't understand that they themselves have become the problem.
You know, they don't understand the term that they're public servants.
What I heard in the inauguration speech today is, yeah, we've gotten in your way and we've hurt you and we've aggrandized ourselves and enriched ourselves and it's time for that to all come to an end.
And that's what I heard today.
And the reason they're having a hard time identifying and understanding this, they never thought this day would come.
This is one of the favorite soundbites we've ever put together as the inauguration, inaugural parade now begins down Pennsylvania Avenue, down to the White House.
But, you know, and the scary part is you look at all the security that we need for any president these days, it's pretty scary.
But the reason they cannot identify and the reason that these specific groups are against him and the reason the media criticizes him is because they never thought this day would occur.
Listen.
Donald Trump, just last week, he confirmed to the National Review that he is again considering a run in 2016.
Do it.
Do it.
Look at me.
Do it.
I will personally write you a campaign check now on behalf of this country, which does not want you to be president, but which badly wants you to run.
Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.
Is that people think that Donald Trump is a clown?
Donald Trump is a clown.
I mean, does anybody seriously think that Donald Trump is serious about running for president?
Donald Trump.
You know, he's a clown.
Which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election?
the declared ones right now, Donald Trump.
President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States.
Exclamation point at real Donald Trump.
Well, at real Donald Trump.
At least I will go down as a president.
Basically, this is the beginning of the end for Trump.
It'll be the beginning of the end.
Beginning of the end?
This is probably starting of the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.
Donald, you're not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency.
The strongest person usually isn't the loudest one in the room.
So right now, we have Hillary's about a 75 or an 80% favorite.
We have different bursts of portcullis.
You can look at Paul has Hillary Clinton up by double digits nationally, 12 points, 50 to 38, four-way race.
Clinton leading in Florida.
Clinton leading in North Carolina.
Clinton leading in Ohio.
Clinton leading in Nevada.
I could go on and on and on.
I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be present.
And so, right now, Mr. Trump, to answer your call for political honesty, I just want to say you're not going to be president.
All right?
It's been fun.
It's been great.
I love you.
But come on.
Come on, buddy.
We have a major projection right now.
Donald Trump will take Ohio.
That's CNN projects.
Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida.
Huge win for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, we project will win in Kentucky in Indiana with its 11 electoral votes.
West Virginia, Clara, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, North Dakota with its three electoral votes.
And South Dakota, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, the state of Montana, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Utah, Wisconsin, Arizona, Kansas with its six electoral votes, Nebraska with its five electoral votes, and Wyoming with its three electoral votes.
Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.
A lot of people have laughed at me over the years.
Now they're not laughing so much, I'll tell you.
They're not laughing so much, I'll tell you.
But the way that speech was covered by NBC Chuck Todd, it felt as though he was almost insulting every living president.
Huh.
Every living president has given us debt and deficits.
Well, actually, not Bill Clinton, of all people, because Newt Kingrich was the speaker.
You know, it was militant.
It was dark.
Rachel Maddow.
And it goes from there.
Then we've got the snowflakes out there.
You got inauguration protests turned violent.
A car has been torched.
You got long lines in Washington, D.C. Does anyone ever think of enforcing laws here, but a marijuana legalization group giving away thousands of marijuana joints today for free?
You got one anti-Trump protester sucker punched a Trump supporter in the face.
Trump now in charge of the nuclear footballs.
Oh, that's scary.
Oh, my God.
How can that happen?
Oh, my goodness.
Dark, militant, Nazi-like.
It's insulting.
By the way, in marked contrast, here's something that I bet the media is not pointing out.
The constant references of Obama to I, me, and mine, all about me, all about I, all about number one.
Oh, my, me, my, what I think, what I know, what I like, what I want, what I see.
That's Obama.
President Trump only referred to himself three times in a speech that contained 1,433 words.
President Trump referred to we an astonishing 45 times.
President Trump referred to you, the American people, and the people of the United States, 24 times.
So maybe it's not about him.
Maybe it is about getting back to public service.
You got some Democrats now so struggling through the first days of him being president.
They're searching for inner peace and emotional equilibrium.
And Political pointed out as Trump took the sacred oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution as our nation's next president, Representative Tony Cardenas, took part in his own solemn ritual of meditation.
One of the more than 65, I guess it was close to 70 Democrats that didn't go tonight.
You know, if you go back to 2008 and we did, and newsbusters did, Donald Trump inaugurated 45th president.
The three networks didn't suggest the seagulls were awed by the sacred event that one of the pilgrims, you know, a trekked to Washington to see.
They actually made these comments.
You know, let's play like the Chris Matthews song.
He's a good citizen.
He's done everything.
I got this thrill running up and down my leg.
But back in 2009, on January 20th, when Obama became the 44th president, ABC, NBC, CBS, they were besides themselves.
They were comparing this to a religious experience.
Over at CBS, Harry Smith saw the inauguration as where the secular and religious merged.
He gushed, quote, so it was that as many as 2 million pilgrims made their way to Washington and the mall to witness this most sacred event.
On the early show, Maggie Rodriguez hailed, does it get any better?
Does it get any more beautiful?
Well, Charlie, we know that wind can make a cold day feel colder, but can national pride make a freezing day feel warmer?
It seems to be the case, but regardless of the final crowd number estimates, never have so many people shivered so long with such joy.
From above, even the seagulls must have been awed by the blanket of humanity.
What a day it was.
It may take days or years to really absorb the significance of what happened to America today.
When he finally emerged, he seemed, even in this throng, so solitary, somber, perhaps already feeling the weight of the world, even before he was transformed into the leader of the free world.
And the mass flickering of cell phone cameras on the mall seemed like stars shining back at him.
In the end, though, it really didn't matter where you were, as long as you weren't alone.
Just ordinary street corners, like this one here in Chicago, fell silent, almost becoming a political cathedral of sorts.
And almost everyone was making that mental scrapbook, noting the time and place where they were on this day.
I can't take it anymore to collect.
I just, I can't.
I can't take it anymore.
You know, and then, of course, we've got the protesters that are now being tear gassed in the streets of D.C. You know, they had a protest Thursday.
I think one of my favorite cuts is that idiot Michael Moore, you know, stand against deportation.
Stand against Muslim registry.
We're all Mexican, Muslim women.
Listen to this.
We're going to have to put ourselves on the line.
I'm sorry to say this.
We're in a very dangerous moment in history where a malignant narcissist and a sociopath is in the Oval Office.
This is a very dangerous moment.
So when they come to New York to take our Mexican neighbors out of here, who's willing to stand in front of the George Washington Bridge and say, not unless you go through me.
Who's willing to do that?
Peacefully and non-violently.
Who will stand in the Lincoln Tunnel or the Holland Tunnel and say, no, no, this is the United States of America.
No!
If he tries to put up a Muslim registry where Muslim Americans, keyword Americans, are supposed to sign up, I will be the first one to sign up on the Muslim registry.
Who will join me?
Who will join me?
Will you sign up?
Who will sign their name?
Let's all sign our name.
We are all Muslim.
We're all Mexican.
We're all women.
We're all Americans.
Yes, and we are all gay and lesbian and bisexual and transgender.
We are all queer, too.
They're losing it.
They're just losing.
And that was just him.
Then you had the Blasio there.
Michael Moore saying 100 days of resistance now have begun.
Call a member of Congress or their senator every day.
Make it part of your routine.
Alec Baldwin, we're going to have 100 days.
Interesting.
Interesting.
100 days.
Anyone called, Ivan?
Ivan.
Anyone call?
The Trump administration is a disgrace to everything we believe in.
And it goes on from there.
It just keeps going.
And then you see the snowflakes out there today.
Here's my advice for Donald Trump.
Keep your promises.
These people are never going to like you.
Barack Obama will never like you.
Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer will never be your friend.
Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi are not your friends.
Stay close to the people that put you in office.
This is my advice to them.
Stay with your promises for originalists on the Supreme Court.
Stick with that.
That's one of the major reasons you won this election.
Stick with your promise to vet refugees from countries whose values contradict our constitutional values.
Stick with your promise to build a wall and protect the borders of this country.
Stick with your promise to, I like what he was saying recently, drain the swamp and get rid of 10% spending and 20% of the workforce.
I assume some of it is going to be through attrition.
Keep your promise, Mr. President.
Repeal and replace the disaster of Obamacare that has cost the average family $5,400 and more this year.
$5,400 increase, a major tax increase.
Use competition.
Make this country energy independent, Mr. President.
Keep that promise.
From there, I prefer, Mr. President, send education back to the states.
Make America's military strong.
Fix our VA, and you will be a great president.
That's my prayer and hope for the country today, that those promises get fulfilled.
Didn't the IRS scandal and the NSA atrocities convince you you need a watchdog on Washington with insider sources?
All right, as we continue, we're live.
We're in Washington, D.C.
The inaugural parade is ongoing as we speak.
If Donald Trump does, in fact, get out of his car, we will bring that to you.
And in a video praising Trump, Jerusalem's mayor, says Obama surrendered to radical Islam.
By the way, how bold was that in the inaugural speech to say, yeah, radical Islam?
That scares people.
Oh, and he's got the codes.
Oh, my gosh, what's going to happen here?
I didn't tell you the story yet of what happened last night, but I'll tell you, well, we had a little run-in with these anarchists, and not too bad.
Tried to talk to him.
Didn't work out well.
We'll tell you about that.
Ann Coulter, who probably deserves the biggest victory lap, she predicted this, what, in 2014, that Trump could win?
Well, maybe early 2015.
Quick break from our capital, our nation's capital.
We'll continue.
I have to say, it was surprisingly divisive for an inaugural address.
And I say it this way: we said it was a challenge.
When you're elected as an outsider, you're elected as a populist, and you're channeling what was real anger out there with his supporters.
It's tough to be both the unifier and that populist carrier.
He went with populism.
And I think that it's going to play well with his folks, but that wasn't the type of inaugural address that was intended to bring this country.
I'm playing well with the crowd right now as he reaches out and greets the people who were gathered there.
There was a theme.
There was a new sheriff in town.
America First.
I mean, there was a point there, Lester, where it felt as if he almost was insulting every living president that was sitting next to him.
Well, he was also insulting.
Very personal ways.
He was also insulting all the Republican congressmen and senators who are on that stage.
He has a majority, but he went after politicians point blank.
This was a workmanlike speech.
It was short and he went through it quickly.
And it was militant and it was dark.
The crime, the gangs, the drugs, this American carnage, disrepair, decay.
You can't imagine the outgoing president giving a speech like that.
This president also repeating, the new president also repeating that our guiding principle will be America first, America First.
We know how he has used that as a campaign slogan.
That does also have very dark echoes in American history.
There was an America First committee that formed in this country, hundreds of thousands of people in this country, some of the richest businessmen in the country who were part of it.
They were formed to keep us out of World War II.
They were infiltrated by the Nazis.
Many of them were anti-Semitic.
Part of why they weren't alarmed by Hitler's rise in Germany.
The America First Committee is something that means a specific thing in this country.
To repurpose it now, not that far down the historical path.
It's hard.
It's hard to hear.
But I was thinking, when he said today, America first, it was not just the racial, I mean, the, I shouldn't say racial, the Hitlerian background to it, but it was the message I kept thinking, what does Teresa May think of this this morning when she picks up the papers and says, oh my God, what did he just say?
He said, America first.
What happened in this special relationship?
What if you're Putin?
You're probably pounding the table saying, that's what I've been saying.
Russia first.
Russia first.
This whole bullying message to him.
And I wonder, you know, are people around the world who are watching closely those PVBs?
And he got one this morning.
What will be the reaction today?
Will somebody do something they weren't going to do yesterday?
Well, you know, one thing missing I thought was any sort of nice reference to this lady here.
Maybe I missed, was there a grand tribute to Hillary Clinton?
Was there some moment of wonderfulness there?
It was brief if it was there, and I think that she was the stoic figure today.
She was the one that half the country more than half voted for and wanted her to be president.
And yet today, she stood there like a true American, a patriot, and joined in the celebration of the guy who she actually beat in the popular vote by 3 million votes.
Didn't cry, didn't wince, and yet the guy who won in the ElectroCollege never gave her much.
All right, there you have it.
Some of the sights and sounds of the liberal media hour two.
The inaugural parade continues, and you got a lot of protesters now along the parade route.
And I doubt that's the area where Donald Trump's going to be getting out today.
He's now the 45th president of the United States of America.
But if you watched NBC, it was almost as if he was insulting every living president.
He chose to be who he is.
What did they think?
He was going to just, you know, bow down and cave to the Washington establishment and be somebody they've always wanted him to be that he's never going to be.
You know, the speech was hard to hear, militant and dark.
Well, when 4,000 people get killed in Chicago in eight years, well, that's kind of militant, and that's dark to lose great American potential.
MSNBC, Trump fans are heckling reporters saying you suck.
Well, they do suck.
I mean, and they've been exposed.
Ann Coulter is with us.
You know, probably publicly, and it was on Bill Maher's show.
Ann Coulter went out and was asked and laughed at when she said that she thought Donald Trump was the person that had the best chance of winning.
Here we are.
And which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election?
Of the declared ones right now, Donald Trump.
I mean, Scott Walker.
There's a lot of laughter from the audience.
There's Ann Coulter with us.
When was that?
What month was that in 20, what was it, 15?
What month?
It was two days after he announced.
Okay.
How are you?
You must be celebrating today.
You happy?
For the first time in my adult life, Sean, I am proud of my country.
For the first time in your adult life.
You know, can you imagine these people?
I don't know what they thought, that he drank from the water fountain and that all of a sudden he was going to be somebody other than who he is today.
Well, I'm going to say, I'm really perked up by what happened today, not only the protesters and the fact that Gavin McGinnis belted one of them, but the speech, because, again, of course, it was a magnificent Stephen Miller.
And I can't say I haven't been made afraid by some of what's been going on with the transition.
But back to the speech, that is how he won.
It was because of speeches like that.
Oh, and I love you playing the liberal media hysterical at the idea of putting the American people above the kleptocrats and plutocrats in Washington.
Oh, it's scary.
It's scary.
No, the speech was pitch perfect.
I mean, as everyone has said, we don't need to bill labor.
This he made up for it at the lunch.
It would have been nice to have something said about Hillary.
Apparently, he forgot that, but he had her stand and was very gracious to her at the lunch that day.
It's great that she showed up.
It's great that we have these peaceful transitions of power.
But the speech, the speech, if he can just remember that for the next four years, he will be reelected by a huger margin than he won the first election.
Well, I think it's bigger than that.
I think it's not the speech.
I think it's keeping the promises and doing what he said he was going to do.
And that probably means, by the way, Donald Trump is getting out of the car right now.
Pretty normal as part of history at the president.
And he's there with his son, Baron.
Melania has gotten out of the car, and they are now walking down Pennsylvania Avenue, even as we speak.
But that is part of, look, Ann Trump.
I just want him to get to work.
And by the way, they already have.
You've probably seen this.
One of my favorite things.
And like I say, I've been a little bit trepidatious this past month or so.
Seems to me a lot of friends of donors are getting cabinet positions, a lot of Goldman Sachs types, a lot of RNC types.
Today, okay, we're back to the Trump that won the election.
Not only with the speech, not only with the hysteria from the left, but apparently they have immediately taken down every reference to global warming on the White House webpage.
Yeah, I saw that.
That's pretty funny, isn't it?
That's pretty funny.
His heart is so in the right place.
Every time I think, oh, no, oh, no, you're behaving like any other Republican.
No, he pulls me back in.
What are you most afraid of?
What's bothered you?
Well, like I say, people weren't chanting, make sure Goldman Sachs get jobs.
Make sure the RNC, man, make sure you hire all your kids.
No, they want a wall in deportation.
Wall, I do think there's no question we're getting that.
But if you don't do the deportations, all we're doing is walling the problems in.
As he said in his announcement speech, they're bringing their problems with them here.
No, they got to go.
And yeah, I mean, yeah, that's what he needs to do.
We need mass deportations.
I mean, no rounding up, none of the nonsense the left talks about.
But what Donald Trump himself said in that magnificent Phoenix speech after he was accused of softening his immigration position, he said, number one, the felons.
Number two, if you've been arrested.
And that's an important point.
Just because you're arrested doesn't mean you're guilty.
But his point is, sorry, wrong place at the wrong time.
You came into the hands of our law enforcement.
We're not just going to let you go if you're here illegally.
Number three, and crucially important, if you are accepting government assistance in America, we have our own poor people.
We have to deal with Obamacare.
And by the way, those idiot Republicans, they've had eight years to do nothing but figure out the repeal and replace bill.
They better be ready to go with that because Anne is getting tired of not living with decent health care.
The first two Obama, because I'm in the individual market like Matt Drudge.
Most of you have no idea what's coming.
But the first program in the individual market, of course, I was thrown off my plan.
First one, bankrupt before the end of the year.
This is weeks and weeks of work, by the way, to figure out which plan to get have doctors look at, send in my residence information, fill out forms.
First year, gone.
That's Health Republic in New York.
Second year, Oxford, gone by the end of the year.
I could have written another book in the amount of time I'm filling out forms.
And this is paying $700 a month.
The current third year plan, not taken by Memorial Sloan Kennering, not taken by the Hospital of Special Surgery.
So I'm really sick of hearing about, oh, all these people who have health insurance.
No, I can pay.
It isn't available to me in the market.
So that shouldn't be Donald Trump's problem.
The Republicans in the House and the Senate, again, they've had eight years to come up with the repeal and replace plan.
So let's get that done week one.
You know, the thing that I think is challenging is I don't have faith in the Republicans.
I mean, look at what they've done in the interim since he's been elected.
They've attempted to bring back earmarks and change ethics reforms in their favor.
Similarly, wanting to expand the debt by $9.7 trillion over 10 years or the debt limit.
And I'm like, it gets more frustrating by the day.
But for me, it's very simple.
What do you think Trump will get done?
Do you believe it will get originalists on the court?
I do.
Oh, yeah.
No, the standard stuff.
Look, my issue is, and thank God it was not Hillary being sworn in today because it would have been more of the same.
Even if Trump is the worst he could possibly be, all he's going to be is another mediocre Bush administration.
So the basic stuff, yeah, we'll get all of that.
But what we need, fixing immigration, deporting illegals, deporting criminal aliens, blocking the immigration of misfits, potential terrorists, 80% of the legal immigrants we're bringing in are going on government assistance.
We also need the economy fixed.
We need lower taxes, less regulation.
But what I'm trying to say is immigration solves a lot of problems.
Immigration makes everything easier.
Take health care.
They say we don't have enough money.
Oh, how are we going to pay for the poor?
First of all, if you stop bringing in immigrants who get free health care, that's a big problem.
That's a big, big help.
Number two, stop bringing in legal immigrants who then bring in their elderly relatives who immediately go on Social Security.
Big help.
You know, since Arizona passed the SB 70, I guess it was called, what liberals denounce as the Papers Please Law, written by Chris Kobe, crime in Arizona has gone down.
Local taxes have gone down.
Employment has gone up.
Wages have gone up.
Look at Arizona for the multitude of problems that are solved by not dumping low-wage, unskilled foreign workers on the country or foreign welfare people.
Stay right there.
And we have a couple of more minutes on the other side of this break.
The inaugural parade continues.
Donald Trump, Melania, and Barron got back in the car.
Bringing jobs back to America and getting America back to work.
All right, so we continue from Washington, D.C., and the inauguration now of the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
By the way, cars are being set on fire.
We have windows that are being broken.
We have protesters now, some hundred plus that have been arrested.
Ann Coulter is with us.
What do you make of the reaction of what we call the snowflakes and these Democratic congressmen and women that didn't go and all the protesters and the burning of cars and broken windows now?
And I experienced some of this last night.
I am thankful for the cluelessness of our opponents.
You know, the normal Democrats have got to be sitting back saying, no, guys, could you settle down?
This is really not helping, not helping at all.
Tomorrow, I guess, the big woman's protest.
So you're going to have elite white female feminists.
You will have some of the transgendered crowd.
You'll get some of the anarchists.
You know, a lot of people vote Democrat because they vote Democrat.
They've been Democrats their entire lives.
Maybe they thought Hillary would do a better job.
Maybe they weren't wild about Trump's certain aspects of Trump's personality.
Maybe they wanted the first woman president.
But I think a big number of them are looking at these protests on the lunatics and the nastiness out of Hollywood from utterly, ridiculously out-of-touch wealthy elites with nannies and gardeners and maids and oh singing I will survive.
Oh, I'm so glad you're going to survive.
And they've got to be thinking, wow, I'm glad you people lost.
You know, they live this lifestyle, but this is the point.
The people that have been suffering, I really think he's tapped into the entire men and women out of work, in poverty, on food stamps.
They can't buy a house anymore.
And none of these people, nothing Obama did worked.
No, that's absolutely true.
But it is also for people with jobs who just see what's happening to the country.
I mean, I always thought it was sort of, it's true, Trump got a lot of people who haven't, millions of people who haven't voted for 20 years to come out and vote for him.
But I certainly knew lots of doctors, lawyers, Hollywood producers who just, you know, they don't want to live in Guatemala.
We wanted to live in America.
Immigrants moved to America.
They wanted to live in America.
It's only the plutocrats and kleptocrats who are having a great life off the rest of us, as Trump said in that magnificent inaugural speech.
All right.
Ann Coulter, always appreciate you being with us.
And Trump We Trust is her book, and it's been doing well, of course, as always.
And we appreciate you being with us.
My only thought is, yeah, I got to run.
Book signing at Women's National Republican Club on February 1st, Wednesday.
Okay, I hope we'll put it up on our website.
Thank you.
Thanks, it does.
By the way, here's my prediction.
I think Donald Trump is going to defy all of the critics, all of the lunatics, and we'll be debating that in our next hour, and exceed expectations beyond measure.
There's my prediction.
We'll continue.
Jay Seculo on the law next.
We got a great list of guests, by the way, for Hannity tonight.
We're going to be doing two hours.
Yes, I will be in a tux.
It's been years.
Took it out of mothballs.
And I pulled it out.
Kellyanne Conway, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Michael Cohn, Michelle Malkin, Paul Manafort, Judge Janine Pirro, Ainsley Earhart, Bo Dietle, Geraldo Rivera, Corey Lewandowski, Anthony Scaramucci, Larry Elder, Daryl Scott, Doug Schoen, Charlie Hurt, Louis Gomert, Sebastian Gorka, Nigel Farage, Matt Schlapp, Mercedes Schlaps.
We got a big lineup today.
One of my really dear friends in Washington, D.C., that I don't really have many friends here at all.
Most of these congressmen won't meet or talk to me much anymore, but is Jay Seculo, and he's with the American Center for Law and Justice.
So they just got into office, and former President Obama's parting gift to first-time homeowners fell 90 minutes after Trump was sworn in.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development immediately canceled the rate cut on mortgage insurance premiums for federal housing administration-backed loans announced earlier in January and beachhead terms for the Trump administration.
They took over federal agencies immediately following the inauguration, and it goes on from there.
And the thing that I think I enjoyed the most in all of what happened today is I was watching very closely, as were apparently a lot of other people, and we see that the White House took down the climate change agenda of the Obama administration and put up America's first energy plan, and a lot of that's been happening.
Now, Trump says he's going to probably spend hours rolling back regulations, and Jay can break down for us what that means because he didn't really want to follow separation of powers, right?
Co-equal branches of government.
So if you rule by the pen, an executive fiat, the next president could undo all of that, can't they?
Yeah, literally by the stroke of a pen.
And presidents do that.
Presidents have the authority to do that under the Constitution.
And there is no doubt, I mean, no matter what side of the political spectrum somebody may be on, Donald Trump's going to do that.
He is going to roll these regulations back.
These were, I would say, Sean, if you looked at the overall regulatory process, probably 70% of them were, I would call it, president-made.
They didn't even go through the regular agencies here.
So this is, yeah, he's going to be able to do that.
Is it fair to say then if his signature legislation is Obamacare, that's going to be gone.
And if you're saying 70% of what he accomplished was through executive fiat and the stroke of a pen, and Donald Trump is able to undo all of that, there was some questions about whether or not he put legal traps and loopholes in some of this.
What did he do?
Well, so on some of it, what you have is the agency, he would issue a presidential memorandum.
Right.
And then the agency would issue a regulation.
So that, you've got to, and this is going to be, and this is where people have to have a little bit of patience.
To roll back the bureaucracy in this town does not happen in a night.
Because remember, as many they'll appoint, there'll be, let's say, a couple thousand appointments, presidential appointments, so to speak, in all the agencies.
There are tens of thousands of employees that were in lockstep with the previous administration.
So fettering them out, finding out who they are, getting rid of them, is a process.
For instance, we've got litigation against various government agencies.
That litigation is not going to stop because President Trump cannot litigate against his own agency.
Others can to find out what's going on.
That's what we're doing.
All right.
So if, for example, there was a presidential memo that was sent to a particular agency and they made a policy change, then does it work in reverse?
Not so easy because once that policy has been put in place, depending if they went through the code of federal regulations or they did not, that will make a difference on how you undo it.
So it's going to have to, you've got to be very calculated here.
You know what the reality is?
You can't go in there with a butcher's knife.
It's got to be in scalpel.
And I think there's no doubt President Trump knows that.
But there are some big rollbacks that are going to take place right away on the immigration issue, especially.
By the way, we're watching now for the third time Donald Trump, his wife Melania, the president, and the first lady and their son Baron have gotten out of the car as they make their walk along the inaugural parade route and to the White House.
And, you know, this happens most times.
Listen, I would not want to be in charge of all the security that is in the city, but we see it.
But the town's pretty calm.
I mean, you've been here.
I mean, all things considered.
I was just watching a video that's going on live here.
Yeah, I saw that one.
Cars being burned.
Yeah.
Well, that's windows being broken.
And that's the paid demonstrators that come to every event.
Are they paid or is it just ⁇ well, there was talk, and I actually did see some advertisements that they were willing to pay people.
Sure.
So last night, you know, a bunch of us from Fox, and we all went to dinner, and we were having a good time, and just went to dinner, and then we were going to go over and see Big and Rich.
Right.
And they were playing.
And as we were walking over, all of a sudden we look up and I see a massive mob chasing this one guy, wanting to beat the crap out of him.
And we happened to be right in front of the theater where Brett Michaels of the group Poison was playing.
And so anyway, this guy ran into the security arms of those people.
Now, they didn't know he was the one that was being attacked, but they wanted to basically beat the crap out of this poor guy.
Then Geraldo was there and Brian Kilmead was there and I was there and we got recognized.
And we even tried to talk to them, have a discussion with them.
That didn't go over too well.
And we went inside.
We had eggs thrown at us.
But they're professional.
These men and women are in the business of causing disruption.
They do it when the IMF's here.
They do it when the monetary funds meeting.
This is what they do.
Unfortunately, it's kind of part of Washington in the sense that you expect it.
What I've noticed already, and Sean, I've been in this town a long time, the change between when they swore in the new president, it's like a cloud lift.
Even though it's raining here in Washington, D.C., I think Franklin Graham said rain is a good sign from heaven.
But it was like a cloud lifted over this town.
And there's a new sense of opportunity and a new sense of positive.
I agree with you, but you and I both know.
We've been around politics way too long.
We have a weak Republican establishment.
We have a thin majority.
Thin majority, especially in the Senate.
How is he going to get, let's say if he wanted to pick Pryor in Alabama to be the next Supreme Court?
It would be great.
I agree.
It'd be great.
Okay, but Chuck Schumer has already promised to filibuster anyone.
So here's what you do.
You realize, and this is where I think Trump's ability, President Trump's ability to engage the media directly, as he does with you.
By the way, he has just gotten back into the car.
His entire family got out of the car that was behind them.
And they stopped, said hello to some people.
Now they're continuing on the parade route.
So on the Supreme Court nominee, the fact of the matter is anybody on the list that President Trump put forward is not going to get sick.
There's no one on there who's getting 60 votes.
So that idea of 60, forget it.
First of all, it's not in the Constitution.
So the Democrats have already broke the filibuster.
They've broken the filibuster.
On judicial appointment.
Yes, except they said we're going to carve out the Supreme Court.
Well, you know, tough.
So I think, look, we're talking about the Supreme Court.
I'm 60 years old.
We're talking about the Supreme Court for the rest of my life and Jordan and look, my kid's life.
This is, I mean, it could go for two generations here.
So this is a fight you have and you win.
Do you McConnell have the backbone to do what Harry Reid did?
I think he does only because Donald Trump will make him do it.
In other words, in and of themselves, I'm not so sure any of them would do it.
With this new regime, with the new president and that administration, you want to be on the other end of those tweets?
No.
Right.
No.
So I think the Republicans, I think the Republicans are going to have to understand that this is the Supreme Court was a lot of the reason why Donald Trump won and they kept a majority.
Okay?
So that's really, at the end of the day, the lasting legacy of a president.
We are 4-4 right now.
I had some folks from the Supreme Court over here today.
4-4.
That means we're getting nothing's happening.
So we've got to fill that slot.
It needs to be done soon.
I think you're going to see a nomination in 10 days.
Bill Pryor would be great.
If you've got to bust a filibuster, bust the filibuster.
Nuclear option, do it.
Do it.
They've already done it.
Well, they set the precedent.
It's really annoying because then Republicans get back in power and then they don't do it.
And I'm like, we can't have two sets of rules here.
No.
And considering this is what they wanted, this is the rules they chose.
So let me go back to what I was discussing earlier about executive action.
So Obama doesn't want to work with Congress.
Right.
Doesn't want to pass bills the old-fashioned way.
And by the way, this would include the Iranian deal, which was never confirmed by the Senate as a treaty.
There's not even a piece of paper on it, really.
Really?
But the money's been handed over, unfortunately.
Right.
$1.5 billion.
$1.8 billion.
Yeah.
Whatever billion dollars.
And ransom was paid.
All right.
So as it relates to all of these regulations, Trump could literally spend hours just signing away, signing away, signing away.
But you're saying that there are others that are buried that will be more difficult to get rid of.
Yeah, so the regulatory, what happens is they'll send a presidential memo, an executive memorandum, and then the agency adopted rules and regulations.
That's harder.
But on the big one, let's take the immigration thing, which was a big reason Donald Trump's the president of the United States today.
That whole issue, first of all, the president lost before the Supreme Court of the United States.
Remember that?
He lost.
Thus, the regulations themselves were deemed overreached.
The president didn't have the constitutional authority.
I was involved in that case at the Supreme Court.
So that's easy to fix.
That is literally a signature.
So there are some big issues, like executive action on immigration, you're going to be able to fix, you know, get started quick.
Others are going to be more tough.
It's not the CPA regulations.
It's tougher because what the EPA did, the president sent out the directive, and then in some of the cases, they adopted regulations.
Now, not in all.
So what the White House Counsel's Office has to do and the Office of Legal Policy is go through that.
And, you know, President Trump said, be at your desk at 1201 today.
I mean, they told him, don't enjoy the inauguration.
Get to work.
Say, thank you for your service.
You're out.
We're in.
And you have to go through it.
I was a government lawyer.
It's a laborious process to go through these rules and regulations.
But you're going to have to do it with the surgeon scalpel.
You've got to go through it and do it.
But you know what?
He's got the team in place.
If anybody knows the rules and regulations, it's Mike Pence.
And that'll be a big help.
He's going to be a big help.
And there's Mike Pence, by the way.
Now he's on walking.
He got out of his limousine.
He's walking with his family now for a brief moment along Pennsylvania Avenue.
And, all right, so let's say that they can get rid of all of the bad ones, and I assume it's 99% of them, which you're saying represents about 70% of Obama.
60, 70%.
Okay.
Then what would you say that Obamacare represents?
What percentage of Obama's legacy?
So the regulations on Obamacare were much more lengthy than the law itself.
The law was 2,300 pages.
The regulations were tens of thousands of pages.
So what you're going to have to do there, what's going to have to happen there, and they're moving it.
I mean, that is going through Congress.
President Trump knows the way to do that is repeal, replace.
And that I think you're going to see, I think that whole thing is going to be wrapped up.
Now, there may be a transition period, but I think it's going to be wrapped up in 90 days.
So, would it be fair to say that if they roll back regulations and executive fiats and they eliminate Obamacare and they replace Obamacare, that 90% of everything Obama's done in the last eight years is wiped clean?
Well, on the domestic front, certainly, because you look at what are his two signature achievements domestically, it would be Obamacare, in his view, and his immigration reform.
Well, those are both gone.
Now, on the international front, what he's done to Israel, which we've talked about before, that rolling back, you can't roll back a U.N. Security Council resolution.
That's the problem.
But the Congress and the president could tell the United Nations: you know what?
We're not giving you $22 billion, whatever the crazy number is, to basically support the organization of the Islamic Conference because that's who runs the U.N.
So you've got a potential U.S. ambassador to Israel and David Freeman, who will be excellent.
You've got a president that says he will move the capital to Jerusalem.
I think he does that on Israel's timetable.
And that's important.
And you know Bibi.
He knows when the right time for that, when it's going to be because they've got to worry about the neighbors.
But I think you're going to see a sea-change differential there.
But on the international front, they've got a big job.
Just saying radical Islam in his inaugural speech today.
I said that today.
If all he got up there and says, thank you, took the oath of office, so help me God, radical Islamic terrorists.
I would have said, you know what?
Sit down, done, and up.
We haven't heard that in eight years.
No.
And you know what?
The fact of the matter is that's the fight.
Take this a step further.
So if the executive orders get wiped out, Obamacare's wiped out, okay, there's no success.
Our relationship with Israel has never been worse.
What he did in Libya has been a disaster.
He's now a safe haven for terrorist and terrorist training in North Africa.
Then you add, okay, Iran, that deal.
Then you have Iraq and Afghanistan, disasters.
You know, our relationship with Putin and Russia, there was no reset.
It's never been worse.
Oh, it's reset to worse.
Okay, China, same thing.
Our European allies don't have the respect for us that they once had, so I don't see any foreign policy success.
Now, is this a fair statement?
When all is said and done, the only legacy of Obama, it'll be almost like he's never been there but for he took on more debt than every other president before him combined and the bad judges he appointed.
And Kagan, and so do my original Supreme Court justices, and then the lower courts.
And, you know, we talk about the Supreme Court, but the fact that you got about 100 appointments?
Yeah, and the fact is that most of the cases are decided by the courts of appeals, not the Supreme Court.
And he has reshaped the judiciary.
And there's a legacy.
Now, for Donald Trump to undo that, you need four years was good, eight years would be better.
But in four years, if you look at the age of most of the courts, I mean, we do the demographics on the age of the judges.
You've got a lot of courts that could have conservative.
Fourth Circuit was generally conservative.
11th Circuit, where Bill Pryor's at it was generally conservative.
If the election would have gone another way, those courts would have been lost.
Forever.
Now, you've got the opportunity to reshape the judiciary for 40 years, Sean.
I believe.
Pretty historic day.
Unbelievably historic day.
All right, when we come back, Jay Secula, by the way, the American Center for Law and Justice.
And thank you as always.
We love seeing you when we're in town.
And you're a gracious host in every way imaginable.
We love seeing you and hanging out with you.
When we come back, all right, so we see these cars are being burned.
Windows are being broken.
We'll tell you about an experience I had last night.
Geraldo is going to join us.
Rose Tennant will join us.
One of the women that is involved in this march tomorrow will join us.
Still not sick of waiting.
Making America great again.
So last night,
trying to head over to the Big and Rich concert.
What was that at the New York?
Did they have a ball?
That Lauren was there.
What was it?
New York GOP.
The New York GOP had a ball, and they were nice enough to let us come.
And we had a bunch of people with us, and we couldn't get there because of the anarchy and the anarchists and the violence in the streets.
Did we put the thing on video, Linda?
Did you see this on video?
Did you watch it?
Yeah.
On air?
Yeah, I've seen it.
What's the matter?
You don't sound too happy about it.
The guy threw an egg at me and missed.
Yeah, I mean, clearly.
I think he was throwing it at Geraldo.
What do you think?
I think so too.
I'd go for the liberal first.
You think they will go for the liberal first?
Geraldo goes, come on, let's go talk to him.
I said, all right, sure.
Shook hands with one guy, and then everybody has their phone out.
That's the other thing.
Everybody's taping every second of it.
Anyway, we have had cars burned today.
Over 100 people now have been arrested today.
There's talk about trouble tonight.
We'll have all that next in our final hour.
This fire was started.
In fact, this young man, you were participating in the fire.
What's your name?
My name's Carter, and I actually kind of started this fire.
So why'd you start that fire, Carter?
It's Carter.
Sorry, why'd you start that fire?
Because I felt like I'm just saying, screw our president.
Insight, don't get to those good cops in jail.
The system is guilty as hell.
Insight, don't get to those good cops in jail.
It's guilty as hell.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
The last part is what happened last night as a group of us were trying to make our way over to John Rich's party with John McLaughlin and the New York, I guess, delegation was having an event.
We were just going to stop by and watch Big and Rich for a little bit, but it didn't happen.
We had a pretty big group with us.
We had just come from dinner.
And, you know, so Geraldo and I actually walked out to try and talk to the people.
It started when all of a sudden we're in front of a theater where Brett Michaels of Poison is playing.
We got to meet him.
Great guy, by the way.
And this guy comes running and being chased by a mob and ran into the security.
And the security there thought he was the bad guy and they're tying him up.
And he's like, no, no, these people are trying to kill me here.
And so it must have been a group of a couple of hundred people, I think.
I'm not great at crowd sizes.
I'll get Geraldo's take on it in a minute.
So then we're there, and then we got noticed.
Brian Kilmead was there.
A bunch of us from Fox were there and other people.
My concern was not for myself, but for the others that were with us.
And then Geraldo goes to make, well, let's go over and talk to him.
I said, sure.
And that's when we walked out.
There's actually a video of it somewhere.
We'll show.
Why are you laughing, sweet baby James?
This is how I roll.
Then some guy threw an egg, and I saw that, and I said, All right, Geraldo, we're not going to have any discussions with him.
It's either going to be a fight, us against 300 people, or we'll just go inside and say hi to Brett Michaels.
And he was a great guy.
Anyway, joining us now is Amanda Niepf is with us with the National Legal and Public Policy Director for American Atheists, and she directs the American Atheist Policy Advocacy Legal Strategy, serves as in-house counsel, Rose Tennant of the Rose Unplugged Show, and my friend and colleague Geraldo Rivera.
Geraldo, is that pretty much the way you saw it?
I mean, I saw a couple of hundred people there.
I saw that guy that was trying to beat the hell out of them.
And you and I tried to have a conversation with him.
I'm a crowd that's out there right now, the same couple of hundred people, because that's all there are.
They're very noisy and they're very violent.
And they, you know, they don't have guns, but right now they're throwing large chunks of rock.
You left out the part with the guy.
I went to shake the guy's hand and he yanked me across the table.
That's where I really thought it was going to get going.
And I will say this.
I shook that guy's hand, too.
But when I shook it, I pulled him to me.
Yeah.
I thought I'd take about at least half the crowd.
This type of thing does not concern me.
I know it does worry a lot of other people.
Just it's not, it's nothing that I haven't lived my entire life, to be honest.
All right, Amanda, you're part of this, I guess, women's march tomorrow and a coalition of 300 groups.
What are you marching for?
Marching to have our voices heard to this administration.
And this is the first time we're going to be able to do that.
Wait, you're marching to have your voices heard.
Yeah.
Okay.
Your voice can't be heard on a radio show.
More people will hear you today than in your entire march tomorrow.
But go ahead.
Well, I mean, we have, I think, 1,500 buses that are scheduled to come in, and I'm on a train full of people headed to the march on Washington, and they're happy and excited, and it's uniting people.
I guess citizens protesting is in the DNA of America.
And I guess I'm not sure why people are so upset.
I don't advocate violence, of course, but coming and speaking to our elected officials, protesting, having a message, that's been doing that since the British were ruling here.
But that's not what we're seeing on the streets today, and that's not what I saw with my own eyes last night.
I'm really sorry about that, but that doesn't, I had nothing to do with that, and I certainly don't advocate violence.
But I certainly support anyone who peacefully wants to speak to elected officials and speak to this new administration.
Yeah, and it's interesting, Rose.
You never hear the president of the United States that just left, Barack Obama, say stop when all of this has happened.
He absolutely should have.
He should have encouraged us and talked about the tradition that we've had since 1789.
This is a transfer of power.
This is what we do.
This is what makes us great and separates us from everyone else.
I was at the Deplorable last night.
The one thing I noticed, you know, the guests we have on said, we want our voices heard.
It sounds to me like they're hearing voices.
They were all over the place.
You know, it was the future is feminism.
Trump is alt-right with us.
I mean, the messages weren't clear at all.
I didn't know what they were agreeing on.
If anything, I do know they agreed that they thought those of us attending the ball were Nazis.
I did pick that up.
But it got very destructive towards the end of the ball.
So you were at the ball.
This is where some of these protesters got pepper sprayed and had violent clashes with the cops, similar to what we've been seeing throughout the afternoon today.
I have to say something, though.
It is bad.
And what I did today, even though I had tickets and I had a seat, I walked around the perimeter of the Capitol where they were allowing people in.
People who had just general admission tickets.
Some of them had seated tickets in certain areas.
They couldn't get through.
Those mobs were preventing people who wanted to celebrate their victory and had every right to do so were prevented from getting through.
It was so unfortunate.
And it is intimidating.
Okay, you and I might not be intimidating, but think about it.
You're accustomed to this.
I am as well.
I saw families there.
There were some with small children.
It was intimidating.
And it was, literally, I was running with the riot police to get to the next to my entrance where I held a ticket because they were blocking them.
They had heard that we were going to be going through that way.
And the riot police were running ahead of the protesters, which were hundreds.
There were hundreds of them.
And it was intimidating.
It's out of control right now.
Right now out there, it's insane.
I just made it in the door safely.
And I do think it's significant.
And I think it's wrong.
And I'm pissed off.
I really am.
Well, you know, I'm not mad because I think people have the right to protest.
It's the violence that I object to.
You know, the funny thing is, Geraldo, I mean, Geraldo, I mean, I think probably on a lot of issues that maybe some of these people support far more than me.
And you call yourself a liberal Republican, but on immigration, on issues of pro-choice, gay rights, I mean, I would think you're right there with a lot of these protesters on a lot of issues.
They wouldn't even let you talk to them.
I think the danger right now is to overstate how big these protests are and how disruptive they are.
I think that both, you know, people, the protesters today at least, number in the hundred.
The people who have come to celebrate the peaceful transition of power number in the tens of thousands.
They are lining Pennsylvania Avenue even as we speak, waiting for the 45th president of the United States and the First Lady of the United States, who, by the way, was absolutely stunning today and will be a fashion icon.
But that aside, I don't want people to get the idea that this constitutional marble we've just witnessed today is being overshadowed.
They are in pockets, it's true, but they are not.
They are definitely not disruptive.
You can get into the general admission areas.
I watched those people.
They blocked the streets.
No, I just walked past a couple hundred of them.
And the only reason I came inside is because I didn't want them to see me without a camera and be invited by it.
You know what?
I watched ordinary people trying to get through, and they were being blocked at each entrance because you guys aren't there.
You aren't where the people are.
I was there all morning.
You know, I am pretty sure that the Capitol Police, the Secret Service, the D.C. police, they're very versed in how it's handled protesters.
They've been doing it for a long time, and I'm pretty sure they're making sure it's safe.
And if you're intimidated, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure that they're handling it.
And as far as I can tell from everybody that I'm talking to who's there, everything is unfortunate.
Amanda, it's really, I guess, comfortable for you to say that, but I've been looking at pictures and images of people with their heads split open and bleeding in the streets and having cops have to come to their rescue.
This poor guy last night literally was within an inch of his life of getting beaten by a mob.
You know, so you could sit back there and say, well, I'm sorry, it's uncomfortable for you.
And I'm not saying you're a part of it, but I am saying that what these people are doing is wrong.
Okay, so there are a few people who are being violent.
No, no, no, no, no.
Not a few.
A few, at least a few hundred, if not thousands.
Were they all arrested then?
No, we've had over 100 arrests today, but I mean, if they're being violent, they would be arrested.
And we're not seeing madness.
Okay, maybe you haven't ever seen Ferguson.
Maybe you've never seen looting when it takes place.
Most people will go in and out of stores with big bags of stuff and come out.
The people that are looting, those people will go into stores and walk.
Have you ever seen looting images before?
There's looting going on in D.C.
I didn't say there was, but you say, all right, listen to me.
You said that everybody would be arrested, and I'm saying that doesn't happen half the time.
People who are being violent at this protest would be arrested, yes.
Okay, but maybe it's too late when somebody has their head split open.
They're breaking windows.
They're definitely using chunks of pavement to break store windows.
I mean, and they have arrested around 100 right now.
And I think that they have it more or less contained.
I think it will spring up again because, as I said, these are the same folks that were at the G20 in Seattle back when.
A lot of them went to Ferguson.
A lot of them chased disorder.
A lot of them are there specifically to cause disorder.
They're not.
Tomorrow's march is different, though.
Tomorrow really will be a much more sincere and heartfelt expression of disquiet and maybe discontent.
But Geraldo, these guys aren't going home.
These disruptors are not going home.
They'll mix in with that group of people.
They're going to spend a night in jail.
Well, hopefully most of them will.
All right.
Geraldo, I'll rumble with you anytime.
Love having you.
All right.
Thank you all for being with us.
Appreciate it.
All right.
We'll get your take on this historic day.
And we'll have wide open telephones as we continue, by the way, from Washington, D.C., we'll be at a ball tonight, the Freedom Ball.
We'll be on from 10 until midnight.
Yeah, I'll be in a tux.
I'm not wearing a bow tie.
I'm giving you a heads up.
If you expect me in a bow tie, well, forget it.
It's not happening.
Linda's dying to get the first picture and put it up on Hannity.com.
So I guess at some point after I finish this program today, between now and 10 o'clock, we'll have it up on Hannity.com.
Looking for fake news?
You won't find it here.
You're with Sean Hannity on the air now.
Now.
All right, as we continue, Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, we continue our program from Washington, D.C. We'll be back here next week as we begin the first 100 days of his presidency.
He said he's basically starting on Monday, although some things have begun to change as we went through earlier in the program.
Sherry is in Utah.
Sherry, hi, how are you?
Welcome to the program, and hope you enjoyed today.
Hi, today was amazing.
This was an absolutely incredible day for our country.
And, you know, it's sad to see.
It's sad to see these, I don't want to call them protesters because a lot of them are criminals.
They're breaking glass and they're breaking buildings.
They're hitting people with objects.
And, you know, it's sad that he hasn't even had a chance to be in office and do his work before this starts in.
But, you know, I wish more, I hope more of these will go to jail.
I hope more of these criminals that are out on the street doing, you know, these awful deeds of criminality will pay the price.
I think the best thing he said is government is going back to the people.
The people that have benefited the most are those people that have taken advantage of their position.
And the best way to do that is give this government back to the people.
Get rid of burdensome regulation, ridiculous taxation, create an economy that incentivizes investment and job creation.
You know, build a military that nobody would dare mess with.
This is not complicated.
The only complicated part of it is that we've got an establishment, Republican, Democrat, other.
We've got an establishment that wants to stop him at every turn.
And you see the media in their reaction to his speech, as we got into earlier today.
I mean, they do not understand him.
They do not understand you out in Utah.
They do not understand people like myself on talk radio and Fox News.
They never have.
They never will.
They hold their nose up at people like us.
The hardworking men and women of this country that make this country great, they have used our hard-earned money to build up a power base for themselves selfishly and a level of incumbency that nobody ever gets thrown out.
And it's really time to drain that swamp.
It's time, hopefully, this outsider, they will use everything they can use against him.
Their goal is to destroy him.
And all this chaos we're seeing on the streets of Washington today, what I saw last night, it's all part of an orchestrated effort to constantly, consistently, non-stop, just chip away at Donald Trump.
And they will create the great monster that Donald Trump is not.
Because image is all I care about.
One of the best things that I heard in his speech was when he said, when you open your heart to patriotism, there's no room for prejudice.
And so I don't understand how they call his speech Hitlerian when he says such unifying things about our country and about us as a people and taking our country back and giving a voice to the forgotten men and women, the men and women of Utah and all around our country.
I was so glad he used that in his speech today because I have called this the forgotten man, the forgotten woman election.
You know, go on my website, Hannity.com.
You can look at the picture of John McNaughton.
And there you have all the other presidents and then a very arrogant Barack Obama stomping on the Constitution and James Madison saying, what?
What are you doing?
And you look at that picture more closely.
I get more out of it every single time I view it.
But all right, Sherry, listen, thank you.
Appreciate it.
We'll wrap up our final half hour of the program today with your calls toll-free, 800-941-Sean.
Don't forget a special two-hour edition, Hannity tonight.
We will be at the Freedom Ball.
Donald Trump will be at some point making an appearance there tonight.
That ought to be fun.
And we'll have full coverage of the festivities, me in my tux, tonight at 10 on the Fox News channel.
At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America.
And through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.
When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.
The Bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity.
We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.
When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.
There should be no fear.
We are protected, and we will always be protected.
We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement.
And most importantly, we will be protected by God.
All right, that was Donald J. Trump earlier today at the inauguration, the 45th president of the United States of America.
I love the beginning.
I like the end of the speech.
I like everything in between.
You know, when he came out of the box after the pleasantries, which happens in any speech like this, you know, we're now joined in a great effort to rebuild this country, to restore the promise of this country for every person in this country, that we will determine the course of this country and the world for many years to come and all the challenges we will confront and hardships.
But very optimistically, he says we're going to get this job done.
And when he talked about not merely transferring power from one administration to another, one party to another, but power from Washington and giving it back to the people.
What is he saying here?
He's saying something pretty deep and pretty profound.
Basically, all of you power-hungry, greedy, self-aggrandizing politicians have ruined it for everybody, and they have with their burdensome regulation and their handouts.
And they can't even get a website on Obamacare upright for crying out loud.
And then he talked about giving the power back to people now.
And that means get the government the hell out of the way.
Why are we going to get rid of all the regulations?
Get government out of the way.
How do you incentivize multi-billion dollar corporations to invest?
Get the government out of the way.
They don't mind paying some taxes, but not burdensome taxes.
But you have this group, as he said, in our nation's capital that has reaped the rewards of government.
They treat themselves great.
They don't have the same health care that you and I had options to get.
They treat themselves wonderfully.
But in this particular case, we have been bearing the cost of all of this.
Our children have been robbed blind.
Washington flourished, but not the rest of the country.
Not the people of Michigan, not the people in Ohio or Wisconsin or Pennsylvania that came out and said they wanted a change.
Yeah, politicians prospered, but the jobs left.
The factories closed because of their doing.
They did this.
The establishment always protects itself.
What do you think gerrymandering is?
What do you think?
Every state legislature gets together every 10 years.
We get a population update.
We figure out how many congressional seats.
Okay, we'll give you these three seats in very Democratic areas, and you give us these five seats in very Republican areas, and we'll all stay in power forever.
We'll start a stimulus plan.
I'll agree to your $4 billion for your project, but I need you to agree to my $6 billion for my project so I can look good before the people that elect me.
You know, that's not a triumph for you.
It's not a triumph for our children.
So hopefully, this is the beginning, the beginning of a shift, a change in attitude.
That government is, once again, by of and for the people.
That government is the problem, as Reagan said, and government needs to get the hell out of the way.
And hopefully that's what's going to begin as of today.
If Donald Trump keeps his promises alone, he will be a successful president.
To the extent that he doesn't cave, to the extent that he doesn't negotiate away, to the extent that he stays focused on the people that elected him, is to the extent he will be successful, in my opinion.
All right, we go to Tiffany in Cedar Park in Texas on the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, Tiffany, how are you?
Hey, Sean, I love you so much.
And I'm just so excited about our future for our children.
And I thought the speech was awesome.
My favorite part was between black, brown, and white, we all bleed red blood.
And that's just so uniting.
And I feel that coming, that we're finally going to have unity.
And it's awesome.
And how was your tux last night?
How'd you feel in your tux?
Well, I didn't wear a tux last night because the ball is on tonight.
And I didn't go to a ball last night, thank God.
And let's see, what did I wear out last night?
I wore jeans and a shirt and my television jacket, and that was it.
No tie.
Okay.
And that was dressy for me.
I usually wear my golf shirt.
That's my uniform.
Well, I can't wait to see the pictures of you and your tux.
And I'm just so happy.
Well, you can see it on TV tonight.
I'll be on 10 to midnight.
You can watch all night long, Eastern time.
Oh, I'll be there.
I'll be watching this.
All right.
Well, thank you, Tiffany.
You know, it's just not my cup of tea.
And all of you guys here are shocked at this.
Lauren's sitting here with us with Sweet Baby James, and they're like rolling their eyes constantly.
Oh, poor baby has to go to the big ball.
I would rather watch it from home.
I've watched Washington correspondence dinners, but I've never been to a Washington correspondence dinner because I'd rather hang out with my friends.
Like, for example, Gomez is in town.
He's been my best friend from third grade.
I'd rather hang out with him.
And he's writing, well, I don't feel like going to the ball either.
And that's why I guess we're friends.
He goes, I don't really feel like going.
Did you bring a ball dress?
No, I'm not going.
You're not going.
Yeah, see?
Okay, you guys want me to go, and you're not going.
Great.
All right, let's go to Donna in Frederick, Maryland.
Donna, hi, how are you?
And we're glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
It is a happy day today.
And I breathe a sigh of relief because I've really been concerned for our president and vice president's safety, especially in lieu of the ongoing protests, which is utter nonsense.
And I want to say it's refreshing not to hear the words fundamental transformation in today's speech and the mystery that befell that speech.
It was actually kind of neat that you're a little bit of a shot across the bow to the outgoing administration.
Listen, Obama didn't have any problems doing it to George W. Bush, and that's the way it goes.
I will say this.
I don't think Obama's going away.
I did this the other night this week.
I think Obama is going to be bitter and angry as he watches every executive order wiped away in mere minutes when he sees his signature legislation just blown up and redone.
He's going to be angry when Americans begin to see the magnitude of him accumulating as much debt as every other president before him combined and people talking about it in real terms.
And now we have to pay this money back.
I think he's going to resent it.
And I think he's going to be sticking his nose into pretty much everything that Donald Trump does.
I don't think he has the class in any way as George W. Bush.
And I think that, you know, he needs to be relevant.
He's going to miss the crowds, miss the adulation.
I don't think he enjoyed particularly actually being president, rolling up his sleeves and working.
I think he liked the fun part of it.
I think he liked the speech part of it.
I think Donald Trump, in that sense, is the opposite.
I mean, I guarantee you, because I know him.
He can't wait till this stupid stuff stops.
These luncheons, balls, dinners, speeches.
He wants to go into his office, roll up his sleeves, and do what he does every day, and that's work.
And you know what's interesting about that, Sean, is he strikes me as someone who is truly a man of his word.
I think he will deliver on that famous Gettysburg speech that the press conveniently ignored.
And, you know, it truly is a wonderful day in this country.
We're so blessed.
And thank you for all you do.
You know, look, this has not been an easy election for anybody.
It's been a contentious, long, drawn-out, two-year battle.
This started back.
I remember we got it started at CPAC in 2015, March of 2015.
And there I was interviewing Jeb Bush, and there I was interviewing Marco Rubio, and there I was interviewing Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and Donald Trump.
And they were all there.
And then, of course, last year was all about the primaries.
Then it was the general election.
You know, politics, unfortunately, doesn't really end very long in Washington.
And that's why I think he's got a very short window here.
He's got a little less than a year to get this done.
And I think he should have every one of his promises, big promises, agenda items out there ready to go starting next Monday, starting on Monday.
That's why we're coming back here next Monday to watch and see what unfolds and watch the little snowflakes in Washington get used to that there's a new principal in town let's say hi to Vivian is In New York, holding down the fort while I'm away.
What's up, Vivian?
How are you?
Hi, Sharon.
How are you?
I have to tell you, I was so happy.
I was watching the ceremony from work, and I just got goosebumps and chills.
To me, this feels like the scrawny kid in school that's been bullied and beat up for the last eight years finally got his lunch money back.
This is what this feels like for me.
I am so happy.
Look, I agree with you.
I totally agree with you.
You know, you got to understand, we've been through a primary.
We have been through an opportunity.
We have been through as a country.
This is now the end, if you will, of the qualifying round.
Now, for the first time, we can actually do something.
Now, Republicans have talked about doing things for a long time, and for reasons that are, frankly, you know, inconceivable to me, they've not been able to get their promises fulfilled and that job done.
So now, I don't know what their excuse is going to be.
I'm watching Paul Ryan, and everyone's patting each other on the back, and they're having big toast together, and it's all lovey-dovey.
I don't know if that's going to last forever.
Their word, they need to work with our president now.
They need to do what they're supposed to do and get things done.
I think the one main reason that we won is because for the first time in a long time, we had a presidential candidate who wasn't afraid to put God first, who wasn't afraid to say, I'm going to defend Israel, our ally.
For the last eight years, we had a closet communist who made everyone our enemy.
So, I think now is the time for them to roll up their sleeves and do exactly what they said it is that they were going to do.
Or this one final, I feel like we had one last opportunity to get it right.
And if they don't keep their word and work with this president, I don't think that's going to happen.
Then the country's done.
What we need to get done here is deep and it is profound.
There's no doubt about it.
Anyway, thank you for the call.
I appreciate it.
I really do.
It's an exciting time, I know, for a lot of people.
And we will be at the Freedom Ball tonight, 10 till midnight, on Hannity on the Fox News channel.
In a sea of government lies, he's the beacon of truth.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
We all salute the same great American flag.
And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty creator.
So, to all Americans in every city, near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You will never be ignored again.
Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams will define our American destiny.
And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.
Together, we will make America strong again.
We will make America wealthy again.
We will make America proud again.
We will make America safe again.
And yes, together, we will make America great again.
Thank you.
God bless you.
And God bless America.
Thank you.
God bless America.
And that, of course, from the inaugural speech from earlier today.
I make my stand here and I'm going to stick by it.
90% of what has happened in the last eight years within the first 100 days is going to be wiped away.
90%.
Every executive order, of course, Obamacare, gone.
And when you add to that the rest of the Trump agenda, it's going to be like Obama was never there but for the accumulation of debt and the horrible judicial picks, of course, that he had.
But with that said, this has been a historic day.
This has been a great day for the country.
This is because of all of you deplorable, irredeemable, deplorables that cling to your God, Bibles, guns, and religion.
And now the fight really begins.
So starting Monday, you'll see the left more unhinged than ever.
Want to remind you tonight, Hannity, 10 till midnight, two hours tonight.
Kelly Ann Conway, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Reines Privis, John Voigt, Mayor Giuliani, Sheriff David Clark, Michelle Malkin, Paul Manafort, Judge Pierrow, Ainsley Earhart, Bo Didel, Geraldo Rivera, Corey Lewandowski, Anthony Scaramucci, Daryl Scott, Charlie Hurd, Doug Schoen, Louis Gohmert, Nigel Farage, Sebastian Gorka.
That's all coming up 10 to midnight tonight.
And yes, I will be in my tux on the Fox News channel.
Obama's era is done.
