Lock, stock and barrel, and now theyve changed their mind and theyre staying in this country where they should be and were very happy about it. You seem to have not taken a day off. Ive been watching monday through friday and then saturday and sunday, and a lot of people have been coming in and out visiting you, and you actually said in the 60 minutes interview you want to roll up your sleeves and get to work and you dont want a vacation. Thats true. You take a vacation once in a while, but its been a great experience for me. I love what i do. I want to help people, and we do help people like with the carrier folks. Theyre going to have a good christmas instead of a miserable christmas. And so i enjoy doing it. It is really not work. You know, if it is work you cant do it. If it is not work, it is fun. I mean you hear the crowd outside, were in ohio and were doing a thank you ohio and then thank you high waugiowa, were do a thank you tour throughout all of the states that were so good to us. Were going around. I guess were going to make about ten stops and do thank you tours. The process, you have already made a all right of selections, a couple more to go. We have a few more to go but weve made great selections, actually more than a few, but its been a welloiled machine. We are doing well, getting fantastic people and getting very good reviews. People are respecting, you know, the process and what weve done. You know, i think youve been more gracious and maybe more magnanimous than i would be, especially you now met with governor mitt romney twice. How was that . It was good. We got along very well. He was very, very nice, nice in terms of his remarks afterwards, and i think it was very good. We have some terrific people, and terrific people to come. Yeah. And i assume those decisions will be made. You had told me throughout the campaign, i would go through a list of issues, Supreme Court justice, vetting refugees, building the wall. If anything that you say like on 60 minutes, well, part of it might be an offense, and you havent changed your mind because you told me that during the election. Were going to build the wall. I heard every once in a while, maybe it is not going to be totally. There are certain places you dont need a wall balls you have mountains, you have other things, you have large and rather vicious rivers, but, no, were building a wall. It is going to be a real wall because were going to stop the drugs from coming in. Were going to have people come in, but theyre going to come in legally. Were going to have a great wall. Were going to have a real wall and were going to stop what is happening, because what is happening in our country is very sad in so many different ways. But we are going to stop the drugs from coming in. Yeah. One of the things that you have an opportunity is you have a Republican House and a republican senate. First time in a long time. First time in a long time, ee even people like paul ryan, mitch mcconnell, you have been talking to these people regularly. How has that been going. Going very great. Paul and i have become very close i think. We agree on a lot of things. Were going to put in a healthcare bill, a strong healthcare bill. I think it is going to be terrific because the obamacare is just i tell you, you look at what is happening. You see the report on it all the time, when you see 116 increases in arizona and you see the kind of numbers you are talking about and the tremendously high deductibles where you dont get to use it. We will do something great for the people and less expensive, better and less expensive. I look at four things that i think would lead to great economic success. 15 tax rate. I think obamacare will be a tax cut for some people. A big tax cut. And Energy Independence is huge. Yes. How much do you think you will be able to do through rescinding executive orders . I think were going to do a lot of it. I dont think we have to rescind were going to rescind executive orders but i dont think we have to use very many executive orders because we have a congress that will go along with things, and i think a lot of democrats will join the train if you want to know the truth. Have you talked to many. Yes, i have. I have known many people in politics. People said, he has never been in politics, i have been very active, mostly from the other side. But were going to have a lot of democrats joining us on a lot of these things, maybe even healthcare. So many of the things we will be pushing, theyre common sense and we will get a lot of support, and i think thats going to start happening very soon. One of the things that i went through, youre still solid on Supreme Court justices, originalists. Yes, we have one to appoint very soon. We have to come up to a name. Im looking, down to probably three or four. Are they from your list . From the list. They are terrific people, highly respected, brilliant people, and well be announcing that pretty soon, too. And you will have extreme vetting. Right, very extreme. Corporate your Corporate Tax rate. Right. And youre going to have remember, were also cutting taxes for the middle class. Were cutting taxes for virtually everybody, not just corporate. Corporate is almost the most important because it is going to create jobs like youve never seen, but were cutting taxes for everyone. We are simplifying the system. It will be a tremendous tax cut for the middle class ee peshlly. Energy independence, how long after you studied and looked at it because i see millions of potential good paying career jobs for people. Right. How big is that in the agenda . Well, it is a big thing. We have so much energy we never knew about. You know, modern Technology Starting about six years ago, the technology has been so incredible. We are sitting on vast wealth, we never knew we had it. We have more than saudi arabia, more than countries that you would never even believe it is possible. Now were going to start using it. Were going to put the miners back to work, the steelworkers back to work. Were going to make steel for ourselves when we build buildings instead of bringing it from other countries. And were going to have a great time doing it. My last question, since youve been elected some people have had a hard time dealing with it and poor kids on College Campuses have their professors giving them cocoa and aromatherapy and pet therapy and coloring books and playdoh. Theyre apparently very upset, they couldnt deal with it. Anything you would like to say to them to reassure their sensitive feelings that it will be okay . I think theyre going to be very happy. I think were going to have a very safe country, a very prosperous country. We are going to do things that will create jobs for their parents in many cases where their parents will be able to do a lot better, although most of their parents voted for me so i think they dont have the problem. But were going to have a very prosperous and a very safe country, and i hope they realize that very soon. Well, 1100 families dont have to sell their house, their car, worry about sending their kids to college and theyll have a good christmas. Mr. President elect, thank you for spending time with us and congratulations on your win. Thank you. Appreciate it very much. Well continue with cincinnati and when we come back well check in with Vice President elect mike pence and Reince Priebus who is now chief of staff for donald trump and much more. Well continue. Im here today for one main reason, to say thank you to ohio. Thank you. We won the state by almost 10 points, which they say is totally unheard of. In fact, i dont know if you know it but it is the beginning. They say you have to win ohio, you must win ohio. Right, you heard it . Over and over and over, and we started off sort of even and then we were one up and two up. We didnt have much help at the top levels, you know that, right . We seek peace and harmony with the nations of the world, but that means recognizing the right of every country, including our own, to look after its citizens. We would put other countries first. We had people running our country that truly didnt know what they were doing, okay. Didnt know what they were doing. Were going to defend the American Worker. Look whats happened right here. They forgot about the American Worker. They forgot that it was the American Worker who truly built our country. We are not going to forget, believe me. Generosity is its own form of power. You can handle being a mom for half an hour. Im in all the way. Is that understood . I dont know what shes up to, but its not good. Cant the world be my noodles and butter . Get your mind out of the gutter. Mornings are for coffee and contemplation. That was a really profound observation. You got a mean case of the detox blues. Dont start a war you know youre going to lose. Finally you can now find all of netflix in the same place as all your other entertainment. On xfinity x1. I know that if we set aside our differences, and we do have differences. We are a very divided nation, but were not going to be divided for long. Ive always brought people together. I know you find that very hard to believe, although this group probably doesnt find it hard to believe. But we are going to bring our country together, all of our country. We are going to find common ground, and we will get the job done properly. Welcome back to hannity as we continue. Were in cincinnati, ohio where president elect donald trump and Vice President elect mike pence are on their thank you tour, and the Vice President elect joins us now. Should i call your governor, Vice President , Vice President elect . Just call me mike. Great to be in cincinnati. A lot of excitement. The president elect and i are here to say thank, thanks to the people of ohio, kentucky, indiana and across america for giving us the opportunity to serve. You told me a big part of your speech is thank you forgiving us the chance to. Explain that. Well, im going to say to people tonight, thanks to you were going to have a president who will unleash the boundless potential of the American Economy by cutting taxes, rolling back regulations. Thanks to you we actually have a president elect who is already savings jobs in america. We just had a rally earlier today in indianapolis where because of president elect donald trump 1100 hoosiers will have jobs at a factory that was going to close and move all of those jobs to mexico. So my message tonight is just to make sure that people know that the president elect and i are working every single day to build a team, to layout an agenda, to make America Great again and to keep the promises that he made, and it all will be thanks to them. Thats not insignificant, because otherwise it would have been 1100 families going into christmas thats right. Not knowing their future, worried about their mortgages, their cars, their kids going to college, thats a big deal. On top of it, i was interested that the ceo actually said theyre investing 16 million more dollars in the plant there. Right. And maybe 35 million more total in the state . Yeah, i have to tell you, it really was remarkable to watch the president elect exercise leadership in this case. You know, indiana is a prosperous state. We have job announcements all the time really in spite of whats been coming out of washington d. C. , weve been holding our own. But this last february we learned here is a company that had been around in indiana since the 1950s that was going to close its factories and move all of those jobs to mexico. When i knocked on their door and said, is there something we can do, they said it is a made decision. A week after the election, president elect donald trump picked up the phone, called the chairman of the parent company, United Technologies and said, look, were going to cut taxes, were going to roll back regulation, were going to have trade deals that put the American Worker and american jobs first, and we would like you to rethink this. And they said, we will. And we started those conversations, but i think what people see in that effort, in president elect donald trump is a man who keeps his word, a man of action and a man who is not going to rest until we get this economy moving again for every american. You know what president obama said about this, i was playing it on my radio show today, what is donald trump going to do, wave his magic wand . And i thought about it and i said, you know, what hes going to do is what you didnt do. Hes going to pick up the phone and call. Right. Were you there for that call . Im interested. I was there. When he did it . Yeah. He picked up the phone and he spoke really one american to another, and he just said, im just calling to tell you were going to do exactly what we said were going to do. Were going to cut taxes on job creators, businesses large and small. Were going to roll back the after avalanche of regulation. Back in march the leadership of carrier told me what was driving them out of the country more than anything else was an avalanche of red tape coming out of washington d. C. What the president elect told the leader of that company was were going to do exactly what the American People elected us to do, and he asked them very you know, very graciously and in his own way to if they would reconsider that, and i got to tell you how inspiring it was for me. And your home state, which by the way has been doing well as you pointed out. Thats right. But 1950s is a long time. It was inspiring for me to see the way that our president elect just leaned into that effort, kept his word. His son called hes made a difference in the lives of 1100 hoosiers. I went out in the crowd and talked to a lot of people, and the issue came up, what was the most important thing i kept asking. Hes going to keep his promises, and they said this was one of them. You think about the agenda, you break it down, and i talked a lot about it in my Closing Argument you said you saw the night before the closing election. I did. Supreme court justices, originalist, repatriation, 15 Corporate Tax, obamacare replaced, healthcare savings account, then you have building the wall, education back to the states, Energy Independence. What am i missing . Not a whole lot, although there is a little biltmore. The military, getting rid of the iranian deal. Were going to support the military at every level with the resources they need to restore law and order in our communities. The list goes on. Youre right, i have to tell you in addition to being Vice President elect, ive been asked to chair the transition, and to see the caliber of men and women around this country who he is drawing to this effort, the cabinet appointments he has made so far, and there will be more appointments next week, stay tuned. Youre not going to give us a sneak preview . All right. I just have to tell you its been exciting to see the energy, the vision and the leadership that donald trump talked about on the campaign now being implemented by president elect donald trump. I dont see a lot of days off and i know youre in a lot of these meetings and he included you a lot you told me the other night. This is what people want to know, that the promises he made are going to be kept. I think this is where republicans, and i speak as a conservative, where they lost me a little bit. They promised to repeal and replace obamacare. You know what a phoney show vote is. They never put the teeth into it. Right. Or stop executive unconstitutional amnesty, give us the senate. They got the senate, they didnt do it and they funded it. Things like that annoyed a lot of people. It is important to keep your word. It is important to keep your word, and president elect donald trump is a man of his word. He dispatched me to capitol hill, we both went together sitting down with the leadership of the house and senate and playing out a plan not just for the first 100 days but the first 200 days to implement that agenda. You have known him longer than i have. This man is the em bodiment of optimism, energy and creativity. He controls the room. Hes going to bring it all to capitol hill and were going to drive the trump agenda forward and make America Great again. How did it go yesterday because i know you were there yesterday speaking with the leaders, how were the meetings . Great discussions. Brought our legislative teams together. Met with the speaker, met with leader mcconnell in the senate and, you know, our effort is to be ready literally on day one, to be able to walk our new president into the oval office to take action on day one on a number of executive orders so that the Obama Administration has put into effect. But, literally, in that very moment to initiate efforts to repeal and replace obamacare, to end illegal immigration once and for all and to get this economy moving again. So less taxes, less regulation, and it is exactly the agenda that he ran on and i keep telling members of congress, buckle up, it is going to be a busy year. Listen, thats a big agenda. If he got all of those things done, i would say it is a prescription the conservative solutions ive wanted for a long time. How has your life changed . I understand you guys dont fly on the same plane anymore, true for the most part . Well, thats right. Thats part of the new changes, but how else has your life changed to the extent you can share it . Well, in many ways it really hasnt. You know, this was just about a 24 7 campaign for us before. My family and i poured our hearts and souls into this. The greatest privilege of my life, but as you said there wasnt any vacation after election day. We were first thing in the morning after the election we were all rolling our sleeves up, standing by our president elect and helping to build a government that can begin to implement the trump agenda on day one. And, frankly, the energy, the enthusiasm, the optimism that just emanates out of our president elect is contagious, and it is going to carry us all the way to january 20th, and i think carry us to a great, great term. I didnt have enough time to ask him a little about foreign policy. Is the iranian deal done . Will that be eliminated . Do you think as he does that it was a horrible deal . I think it was a horrible deal, but a lot of the money has already been transferred. Right. I d
