Kimberly guilfoyle will respond. Lou dobbs will join us in the studio. Hannity starts right here, right now. Sean well connect the dots and expose the corrupt cabal that is the Mainstream Media in america and show just how biased buzz feed and the liberal media really is. That is tonights opening monologue. The liberal all left media is in meltdown mode because donald trump put them on notice that he is not going to take their b. S. Anymore. A prime example yesterday. Take a look. Its all fake news. Its funny stuff. It didnt happen. And it was gotten by opponents of hours as you know because you reported it and so did many of the other people. It was a group of opponents who got together, sick people. And they put that together. I think it is a disgrace. That information that was false and fake and it never happened got released to the public as far as buds feed, which is a failing pile of the garbage, writing it . I think they are going to suffer the consequences, they already are. Sean the medias pretending to be shocked that the president elect slammed buzzfeed a completely unfounded Optic Research file on president elect trump. But heres what the media will not tell you example about them. Its nothing more bus feet but a political propaganda arm of the democratic party. In june, the web site terminated and advertising deal with the rnc because as their ceo said, the Term Campaign is directly opposed to the freedoms of our employees in the United States and in the world. Two days after they terminated that deal, the chairman hosted a 33,000 a 33,000 a ticket dnc fundraiser in new york city that presley up barack obama attended. Since 2004, hes contributed almost half a Million Dollars to democrats, including 2700 to Hillary Clinton in 2016. Is that a fair balance . I dont think so. It should be no surprise that cnn and all these other people, buzzfeed, are standing by the decision to publish what amounts to fake news all in an attempt to smear the president elect donald trump. Take a look. I know this was not your intent, i know you long time. But you just published fake news. I think thats a really sean why is not an unfair description . I think this was a real story about a real document, really being passed around. Sean chuck todd also mentioned they have direct ties to bus feet, even though he said there news divisions are quote separate. They have made 400 million worth of investments in both feet. Companies of course have deepened their advertising and content ties. What we are dealing with here is a giant, corrupt a swamp. And they are all interconnected. It all works together. Almost in unison to advance their leftist agenda. Also tonight, the media is in a frenzy over this exchange of the president elect had with cnn and jim acosta yesterday. Take a look. Since you are attacking us, can you give us a question . Mr. President elect, you are attacking no, not you, not you. Your organization is terrible. Sir, sir. Quiet. Quiet. Dont be rude. Can you give us a question . Im not going to give you a question. You are fake news. Sean so the liberal press is crying foul over that press. They were totally silent when president obama attacked me and Rush Limbaugh and fox news all the time. For example, when you make comments like these. There is a reason few republicans, you hear them running up around about obamacare. Good, Affordable Health care might seem like a threat to the freedom of the American People on fox news. It turns out it is working pretty well in the real world. I havent turned on fox news or listened to conservative talk radio yet today, but i turned them on and off over these past seven and a half years to know i am not exaggerating in terms of their story. The problem is we got all these filters. And a look, if i watch fox news, i would vote for me either. Right . Youve got this screen, this fun house mirror to which people who receive their information. Sean those are just a few examples. Talk about a glaring double standard. Do you know how and at times he hit me personally customer gives 15 times until somebody said stop talking about hannity. Former new york city mayor, this is so reminiscent of when you were mayor. Youre laughing because it is true. I remember you would say, that is such a stupid question. Or did you ever read history . Or maybe you should get your College Degree back. Sean you love it. And it was some of the most entertaining presses ive ever seen in my life. I thought this was a pretty big beat down for the whole country to see yesterday. This was a great thing he di did. And one of the things that should be mentioned as he pointed out, listen, i have the microphone and obviously the power to fight you back. But there are a lot of people that you hurt with this fake news that dont. If he doesnt fight back. Sean people like Michael Cohen. His family. There is not more than one Michael Cohen in the world . The guys in america, he hasnt been to prague. Sean you want to know something funny, i wrote to michael, i asked him if he was in prague. Remember the video i sent two of my song . This was so easy to verify. It was such damaging information that you had an obligation to try to verify it before the matter who it is. Whether was Hillary Clinton, or barack obama, or donald trump. Sean i tweeted ben smith that night. I said then, i called Michael Cohen. It took two seconds. Or texted him. Whatever i did. I got a confirmation. I had never been in prague. Ive had situations where theyve done stories on me where they deliberately did not call me because he didnt want to put a quote in there that would be helpful to me to refute the story. I know what they do. I know the games they play. It is refreshing and it is very good for our democracy that we have a president that is trying to get us back to a free press. The maca sean Michael Goodwin of the new york post, a very good writer, he said thay were hoping and if you look at e breathlessness and hysteria by which cnn was reporting this story, he said that they were hoping for political kill shot against trump. Is this indicative of what is going to happen in the next 48 years post . I dont think there is a kill shot. He is a great choice but, those were choices in his cabinet that would match any cabinet of some of our really great president s. I think he is he knows exactly what he wants to accomplish. He cannot be intimidated. He is an honest man. Theyre not going to catch him in some kind of lie or Something Like that. And hes got the courage to fight them back. The American People have caught onto it. The American People have now caught onto it. I think this is going to be very helpful. He may actually reestablish journalistic ethics. Sean the news busters, 49 times in a month. Just the three Networks Said that the election was hacked. That is not true. The daily mail had a really tough headline today. The only in this story i think with every item in the trump agenda, every Supreme Court nominee, building a wall. Obamacare being repealed, lowering taxes, they are going to do this on everything, right . He needs to be prepared for this. She needs to be prepared for it and he is prepared for it. You know what he went through during the primary. He trained him for it. I saw donald trump yesterday. I was with him when he was preparing for it. When he got out there. He is completely in control. He was is completely in comman. That was a commanderinchief. Sean it was fun to watch. Let me move on. Ive spent a lot of time on this program asking why we havent done anything. Let me put up a full screen about the major u. S. Government Cyber Attacks that have taken place. This is since obama has been president. The joint Strike Fighter project of the pentagon. Nasa, the department of energy. The Postal Service. Who wants to hack into the Postal Service . 23 million americans. You have been brought in. This is what you do. Speak a little old ladies have had their Social Security accounts opened up to them, they go to open their account, they get arrested. Sean so why do we care about russia . Regular, normal people, it affects big companies. This is out of control. We have let our information gathering, we have let our offense get ahead of our defense. Now we have to catch up. We can fix it if the government and private sector work together. Thats my part. The private sector. The government, it has to devote tremendous resources to this. Obama never did. The private sector has to devote tremendous resources to it. My job is going to be to coordinate bringing in private sector groups to meet with the president , not to give him advice, to give him information. To give him the information that he is going to need and his people will need about what is going on in the private sector. If you didnt fix it in the private sector, you can get into government as a private sector. Sean ten years, wikileaks has been out there. Is it fair to say that we have nobody to blame but ourselves at this point . Everybody wants to blame putin. I blame putin, china, iran, but we are responsible to defend ourselves. We have not allowed defense to keep track with offense. Offense has gotten ahead of defense. We use to keep valuable documents in the safes. And then we used to lock them. Now those valuable documents are there and we didnt protect the them. And now we are protecting them but not the way we should. Sean mr. Rare, good to see it. Im glad youre going to be on that case. This is the passion of mine. I told you that. This is one of those things i want to do. It is not a solution, to find the best possible solution we can find. Sean good to see you mr. Mayor. Tonight, on hannity. It will be repeal and replace. It will be essentially simultaneously. Sean at his presser yesterday, president elect donald trump promised to repeal and replace obamacare. Theyve taken the first steps on capitol hill to make that happen. We will check in with bill bennett later tonight. I dont feel like waiting a year or year and a half to start building. Mexico and some form, there are many different forms, will reimburse us and they will reimburse us for the cost of this wall. Sean hes saying it loud and clear. Mexico, ready or not, will pay for the wall. Lou dobbs will react to that. Hollywood and we will have Kimberly Guilfoyle and eric bolling later on. In minutes and stool softeners for comfortable relief of hard stools. Dulcolax, designed for dependable relief at godaddy, our goal is to lets chat in football terms. This is the goal post. The end zone. The goal of every team. We know you have goals. Like getting exposure for your idea or business.

Sean life from americass headquarters. The major hurdle towards james mattis confirmation, which states pentagon chief must out of uniform be out of unifor. They will vote on the bill tomorrow. President obama awarding joe biden the highest civilian honor. The medal of freedom. An extraordinary man with an extraordinary career in public service. Prior to becoming vice presiden Vice President , mr. Biden served as a president of delaware for 36 years. Now back to hannity. We will be very proud of having to put forth in terms of health care. Obamacare is a complete total disaster. It will be repeal, and replace, it will be essentially simultaneously. It will be various segments, you understand, but will most likely be on the same day or same week but probably the same day. It could be the same hour. Obamacare is the democrats problem. We are going to take the problem off the shelves for them. Sean that was president elect donald trump at yesterdays presser, promising his administration will finally keep their promise and repeal and replace obamacare and on capitol hill, republican lawmakers already started to implement in that plan. Passing a budget read joes solution earlier today that will be crucial in repealing the socalled Affordable Care act. President elect donald trump praised the senate, tweeting. Meanwhile, House Speaker paul ryan had this to say earlier today. I do hope and believe that some of this can and should be bipartisan. But if people are going to be so partisan and its so ideological, to try and cling to the failure of obamacare which is doing damage in peoples lives, then shame on that. But weve got a job to do and our job is to use every tool at our disposal to fix this problem before it gets worse. Sean joining us now with reaction, bill bennett is with us. Was it a mistake, i was shocked when paul ryan said about a week and a half ago, we will do it sometime this year, meaning the replacement part. When you repeal it, dont you have to replace it . And should they have had a plan in place already . Yeah, they should. The president is warning us right here. People attribute the greatest line of shakespeare advice is to thine own self be true. It is not the best piece of advice, is not even accurate. The best piece of advice shakespeare gave is readiness is all. Whats most important is having a plan that is ready. It takes a little more time, thats okay with me. Weve got to avoid the obama mistakes, sean. We know what they were. Dont lie. Do not lie. Excuse me, do you want to Say Something . Sean we know what the lies were. We didnt save on average 2500 per family, the cost went up 5400, not including 2017 increases. To me it is simple. Youve gotta have the the things that trump promised on the campaign trail. Portability, it has to handle preexisting conditions. Those people cannot be pushed out of the possibility of getting insurance. But then there should be free factors. Catastrophic care as rand paul told me, its illegal to buy it. It is a great idea for young people. Secondly, doctors, i know this guy, in wichita, kansas. Who got a cooperative. People can get all the care they want short of surgery. And sell that much cheaper rates. And third, Health Savings accounts. The answer is already been there. They just got to pull it together, right . Yeah, let me just do the political cautions again, though. Dont lie, overpromise, as obama did, dont write a 2,000 page bill. I think you can agree with that. Going back to the ryan, and, if you can get a democrat or two, some people in the house, do it. It would be great not to repeat in not having an republicans like the democrats did. I predict to you, whatever the pace it is, whatever he does now, is going to pick up once my friend dr. Tom price is appointed head of hhs. Once that happens, this thing is going to go very quickly. Sean do we have to increase the benefits and the lower the cost . Look, we are both conservative. Dont we burn leave in the free market . And at the end idea that all these big insurers, blue cross blue shield, couldnt make any e forcing young people to buy plans that they can afford and didnt need all in an effort to fund the sick, disable disabled and elderly . As conservatives, we are not utopians. We dont say this is going to be the land of perfect for everybody. We are going to make it better, a lot more affordable, were going to put people back in charge of their own health. Part of the reason the obama thing fell is not just the increase cost but all of the line, the comments, all the things which turned out not to be true. Expectations were so high they were bound to be dashed. There is a lot more sensible route on the way. Sean lets say you are young, generally healthy, most people tend to get sicker in their older years. Thats just a fact. But if youre young and healthy, you get a catastrophic plan with say a 5,000 deductible that also includes a yearly checkup. Get that deal. Now, as long as you stay healthy, you dont need to pay that 5,000 deductible god forbid you get cancer. God forbid you have a heart attack at a young age or have a bad accident. Everything is then covered right after you pay that deductible. That should be appealing to any Young Healthy person. Right . I think so. I think thats right, yes. Sean well, thats illegal now. I know. Its illegal and it doesnt make sense and thus it has turned away people from the market and has turned away exactly the people you want into this market. They become some of the vigorous critics. Of the obamacare plan. But i would rather be a little later, maybe you and i differ on this, be more ready, have all the eyes dotted and tees crosse crossed. We talk about this all the time. He has a doctor, he is smart, he has studied this and he knows it. So i think if it is a little slower, sean, up until the time of his confirmation, be ready and to get it right. Sean i agreed youve got to get it right but it is kind of shocking is Rick Santorum said, i know they have nine plans, i know theyre all kind of basically the same, similar elements. Its a little shocking at this late date that they havent rallied around one particular plan customer isnt it . I wish they had to, but is it extremely complicated, you know how many moving parts it is. I would rather wait a couple months to get it right. I hope not too, but if they get it wrong sean, you know how bad it will be. It will be really, really bad. Sean dr. Bill bennett, thank you very much. Coming up next on hannity. I dont feel like waiting a year and a year and have to start building. Mexico, in some form, and their many different forms, we will reimburse us and they will reimburse us for the cost of the wall. Sean president elect trump says mexico will be paying for the border wall but he doesnt expect a check to be written. Ive got the tape to prove it. But wait till you hear what the mexican president is now saying. Lou dobbs has a reaction tonight. Plus liberal hollywood snowflakes are losing their minds, their collective meltdown. We have
