00:03welcome to Hannity on what is another major news night now coming up we'll cover the arrest of
00:09Prince Andrew along with the very latest from the Nancy Guthrie investigation and President Trump
00:14kicking off his midterm in beautiful Rome Georgia first an iconic stop at the varsity we'll show you
00:21that but first the theme of tonight's monologue war and peace now in just a moment we're going
00:27to bring you all the big movements from today's very first board of peace meeting the president
00:32Marco Rubio is very interesting and there's a lot of hope for the world but we begin with what might
00:38be the final chapter in the mullah's horrible reign of terror in Iran in fact according to
00:44President Trump the next 10 days will decide their fate take a look I've always heard peace in the
00:50Middle East is impossible and it turned out not to be and we do have some work to do with
00:57Iran
00:58they can't have a nuclear weapons very simple they can't have you can't have peace in the Middle East
01:03if they have a nuclear weapon and they can't have a nuclear weapon and they've been told that very
01:08strongly let me be clear do I even really need to say it President Trump means what he says the
01:14days
01:15of Obama's fake red lines they are over at the same time President Trump will never broadcast
01:22America's use of force which is smart and again a warning to the mullahs you probably want to jet off
01:29to Russia sooner than later because those walls they're closing in and I'll put it more bluntly
01:35your days in power are likely numbered next week Secretary of State Marco Rubio he will head to Israel he
01:42will update the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on what could be America's next move but the
01:48message to the Iranian government could not be any more clear no nuclear ambitions no more proxy wars
01:55no more state-funded terrorism your days are numbered now here are the full report from Israel tonight our
02:02very own Trey Yankst is with us Trey what's the latest on the ground there yeah Sean good evening tense
02:09times right now across the Middle East US officials telling Fox News tonight that Secretary of State
02:15Marco Rubio will travel here to Israel on February 28th he is scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister
02:21Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the ongoing Iranian nuclear negotiations and we know all of this comes
02:28as President Trump multiple times today once again releasing an olive branch for the Iranians and
02:33offering them a peaceful solution a path for diplomacy but once again the president said if they do not
02:40take that diplomatic option that very bad things could happen in the backdrop there is a massive U.S.
02:46military buildup across the region we know the world's largest aircraft carrier the USS Gerald R.
02:51Ford is making its way into the Mediterranean Sea you also have the carrier strike group in the Arabian
02:58Sea a variety of U.S. destroyers in the red and Mediterranean seas and a variety of U.S. fighter
03:04jets in places like Jordan and Qatar all of this air power is being described by analysts as the largest
03:10air force buildup in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq Sean all right Trey Yanks will check
03:19in as developments warrant thank you as we do speak tonight the incredible might of the U.S. military is
03:25on full display in the Middle East you have two carrier strike groups dozens and dozens and dozens of
03:31fighter jets multiple E3 sentry battle management planes and airborne electronic warfare fleet and of
03:39course plenty of top secret weaponry is also likely within range and tonight it seems like this massive
03:45buildup continues to grow every single day here at the very latest tonight our own Jennifer Griffin
03:51uh Jennifer what's going on there good evening Sean as Trey mentioned the U.S. is engaged in the largest
03:57military
03:58buildup since the eve of the Iraq war in the Strait of Hormuz today Iranian state television aired footage of
04:05a joint
04:05Iran Russia live fire naval drill which included vessel raids and ship seizures Iran also sent a notice to airmen
04:13not to fly over
04:15Iranian airspace during the drills which could include cruise missiles which could target U.S. bases in the Gulf
04:21the Pentagon has deployed more than 120 warplanes to the Middle East including 50 in the past 48 hours
04:29this includes 48 F-15 fighter jets 18 stealth F-35s 22 KC-135 refueling tankers needed to form an
04:38airbridge and a squadron of F-22 Raptors
04:41six are now on route to the UK after having to turn back to their base for technical reasons yesterday
04:47the total number of E-3 sentry AWACS deployed to the region six sending the AWACS marks a significant change
04:55in strategic posture
04:57it is an all-weather airborne warning and control system with an integrated command and control battle management
05:03to provide an accurate real-time picture of the battle space to the joint air operations center
05:09the USS Ford aircraft carrier strike group is near the Strait of Gibraltar but still a few days from the
05:15eastern Mediterranean
05:16President Trump told the board of peace he expected a response from Iran's negotiating team in the next 10 days
05:23plane spotters in Israel have reported seeing an unmarked plane landing with U.S. special operations forces in Israel
05:30what we are not seeing right now Sean is a buildup of U.S. land forces
05:35that would indicate a ground invasion like we saw before the Iraq war in 2003
05:40but we don't expect that at this point Sean
05:42all right Jennifer thank you tonight now peace through strength only works when the threat of force is very real
05:48but peace and security is at the forefront of this administration's foreign policy
05:53in fact today the president hosted the very first board of peace meeting at the Donald J. Trump Institute of
06:01Peace Building in Washington D.C.
06:03let's take a look
06:04what we're doing is very simple peace
06:07it's called the board of peace and it's all about
06:10an easy word to say but a hard word to produce peace
06:14but we're going to produce it and we've been doing a really good job and some of these leaders
06:19that are with us have helped me very much during just this first year we have a first year like
06:25probably no other ever
06:27in our country because we settled eight wars and I think a ninth to come
06:36now this brand new international board formed by the president and comprised of countries who actually like us and like
06:43this country
06:44will do what the United Nations can never do
06:47it will bring peace and stability to hot spots all around the world
06:52without a veto from America's enemies or rampant far left anti-American politics clouding every single move
07:00now naturally Democrats they prefer the status quo at the UN this is historically anti-American anti-semitic
07:07they accomplished nothing but freedom is on the march that will not be stopped
07:12now even though they hate everything that President Trump does
07:15they do not want him to succeed even if it means a safer more prosperous America
07:21a safer more prosperous world
07:24of course many Democrats they're now planning to even boycott the upcoming State of the Union next week
07:30last year you recall they threw a huge temper tantrum interrupting the president's joint address waving their canes
07:38and shouting and then of course the Democrats at that moment lost their heart their conscience and their soul
07:44they sat they wouldn't stand for Lake and Riley's family or Jocelyn Nungary's family victims of the illegal immigration policies
07:52they either lied about lied about or complicit knowing about and saying nothing
07:58the biggest most preventable national security threat in our lifetime and they let it happen
08:04now a fellow Democrat is slamming his own party over the constant never-ending non-stop Trump derangement and hysteria
08:12take a look
08:13the president of the United States gonna give his State of the Union address and the Democrats got other plans
08:19so some are talking about walking out in the middle of the speech others are talking about boycotting it all
08:25together
08:25and essentially finding something else to do
08:28I'm here to tell you that neither is acceptable
08:31neither should be acceptable
08:33as a representative or a Senate a senator
08:36in the United States of America
08:38guess what
08:39I have a constituency to answer to
08:42and I have people who need me
08:44who I represent
08:45and whether I like it or not
08:47this individual is in office until 2028
08:51and I gotta find a way to do business with him in order to get something done
08:55what do they get
08:57to circumvent the need
08:58and the insistence of
09:00mere decorum
09:02now instead of throwing a public tantrum
09:05or shutting down the government
09:06or whining on fake news CNN
09:08and nobody's watching
09:09maybe the Democratic Party could actually work with the president
09:13on common sense issues for you
09:16the American people
09:17but don't hold your breath
09:18the Democratic Party
09:20they have one goal
09:21one goal only
09:21it's not improving your life
09:24or making America a better safer place
09:26for them
09:27getting Donald Trump
09:28the only thing that seems to matter
09:29the American people know better
09:31you know look at this moment
09:32from Rome, Georgia
09:33earlier today
09:34I love the varsity
09:36some of the best food ever
09:37I was a local radio host there
09:38from 92 to 96
09:40before I started here on Fox
09:42place is great
09:44can you replace Biden's name
09:47I will
09:50see what he wants
09:51he wants me
09:52let's say
09:52dear American
09:55it's the presidential lifetime achievement award
09:57wow that's pretty good
09:58but I don't want his name on there
10:00so can you help me out
10:01I love it
10:02he doesn't want Biden's name
10:04on his lifetime achievement award
10:08all right here with reaction
10:10Fox News contributor
10:11Kayleigh McGee-White
10:12along with Fox and Friends
10:14weekend co-host Charlie Hurt
10:15all right Kayleigh
10:16I'll start with you
10:17I'll put up
10:18Matt Towery
10:19insider advantage
10:20now he
10:21along with
10:22Robert Cahaley
10:24and Rasmussen
10:25these are the three guys
10:27that nailed
10:27all three
10:29of Donald Trump's
10:30presidential runs
10:31he now has
10:32President Trump
10:33at a 50% approval rating
10:34in spite of all that you've been reading
10:36to the contrary
10:37I trust Matt
10:39more than all the other pollsters together
10:41that got it wrong in 2024
10:42my question is
10:44are the American people
10:46now seeing
10:48that the Trump policies are working
10:51I think they are
10:52which is also why
10:53the Democratic Party
10:54continues to remain
10:55at a record low approval rating
10:57they're sitting at about 18%
10:59I think according to
11:00the latest batch of polling
11:01which this also explains
11:03why Democrats would rather
11:04boycott Trump's State of the Union
11:06next week
11:06instead of showing up
11:07because they know
11:08that if they were to sit there
11:09it would actually be worse
11:11for them optics wise
11:12you think back to
11:13President Trump's address
11:14before Congress last year
11:15what do people remember
11:17from that
11:17I remember Democrats
11:19refusing to stand and cheer
11:20for a little boy
11:21fighting cancer
11:22I remember them refusing
11:23to so much as look
11:24at Peyton McNabb
11:25when President Trump
11:26was sharing her story
11:27of how she was injured
11:28by a biological male
11:30competing in a volleyball game
11:32and you know that
11:33that's exactly what's going
11:34to happen next week
11:35all over again
11:35I'm sure that President Trump
11:37will tout falling inflation rates
11:39growing GDP rates
11:40and the tax cuts
11:41that Americans are going
11:42to experience this year
11:44as a result of the
11:44one big beautiful bill
11:45and what can we expect
11:47from the Democrats
11:48hopefully no reaction at all
11:50that's the best
11:50we're going to get
11:51they are so terminally opposed
11:53to President Trump
11:54that they do not care
11:56how stupid it makes them look
11:57to object to the great things
12:00that he has accomplished
12:01on behalf of this country
12:02so maybe that's the one benefit
12:04from them showing up next week
12:05is that the American people
12:06will have the chance
12:07to see just how badly
12:09they want this president
12:10and this country to fail
12:11you know Charlie
12:13I think about this
12:14I don't think anybody
12:16can intelligently argue
12:17that not having a nuclear-armed Iran
12:21makes the world a safer place
12:23I wish the Iranians
12:25weren't who they were
12:26I wish they would make a deal
12:27I wish they would give up
12:29their nuclear ambitions
12:30I wish they wouldn't be
12:31the number one state
12:32sponsor of terror
12:33here's what I find fascinating
12:34Donald Trump's foreign policy
12:38remains steadfastly consistent
12:40he took out the ISIS caliphate
12:43Soleimani
12:44Baghdadi and Associates
12:46dropped the mother of all bombs
12:48in Afghanistan
12:49and took out Iranian nuclear sites
12:51why do some people interpret
12:53his foreign policy
12:54or the Trump doctrine
12:55of no forever wars
12:56no boots on the ground
12:57to be isolationism
12:59I'm not getting that part
13:03yeah I mean
13:04if you look at his record
13:05he can point to a record of peace
13:08and obviously there are some cleanups
13:11that he has not yet been able to pull off
13:14and he is working diligently on that
13:17but his record of peace around the world
13:19has been fairly extraordinary
13:22and I think that the record at home
13:23is even more impressive
13:26and when you look at all of the ridiculous
13:29demonstrations we saw a year ago
13:31you know President Trump was back in office
13:33been back for what two months
13:35when he gave that address
13:37and maybe there was some sort of slimmer
13:40sliver of hope that Democrats had
13:41that they could kind of pull off a demonstration
13:43like this and make it work
13:45the problem with when you fast forward to today
13:47you have these true successes on the global stage
13:51which are really important
13:52but at home
13:53you know Donald Trump has completely shifted
13:55the entire argument
13:57about an open border
13:59to border security
14:00no Democrat is out there today
14:02openly admitting that what they support
14:05is open borders
14:07maybe they're still sort of defending
14:09sanctuary cities
14:10but they're not talking about
14:12defending
14:13they're not trying to defend
14:14Joe Biden's and their policy
14:16of open borders
14:18same with security in cities
14:20he's had all of these successes
14:22also look at the economy
14:24at what he's managed to accomplish
14:25all the experts
14:26and all the Democrats
14:28and even some Republicans
14:29have been 100% wrong
14:31about his economic agenda
14:33when you look at all of the real
14:35live tests
14:38for the success of his economic policies
14:42they're all going in the right direction
14:44inflation has dropped
14:48at record lows
14:50employment is up
14:52gas prices are down
14:54wages are up
14:56everything is going in the right direction
14:58despite all of the experts
15:00and so I think when he goes in there
15:02and he talks about his agenda
15:03on the global stage
15:04and domestically
15:06and these bozos
15:08want to put on some ridiculous demonstration
15:11tear up his speech
15:12or whatever
15:13they're going to look
15:14absolutely ridiculous
15:16in the eyes of average
15:18normal Americans
15:20obviously Trump supporters
15:21but I think even
15:22a lot of people
15:23who maybe didn't even vote for him
15:24but have a feeling
15:26that well you know
15:26things do seem like
15:28they're going in the right direction
15:29and his policies
15:30are demonstrating
15:31that they're working
15:33all right Charlie
15:34thank you
15:34Kaylee
15:34good to see you
15:35thank you as well
15:36it is not totally clear
15:37what the Democrats
15:38are hoping to get
15:39from the partial government shutdown
15:41ICE is already fully funded
15:43unfortunately
15:44now this shutdown
15:45is actually targeting
15:47air travel
15:48that's TSA
15:49emergency responders
15:50FEMA
15:50the Coast Guard
15:52Secret Service
15:52and Democrats
15:54are now playing
15:54a very dangerous game
15:56to what end
15:57here with more
15:57Secretary of the Department
15:59of Homeland Security
16:00Kristi Noem
16:02if you can explain this to me
16:03I'd love to hear your explanation
16:05but I do know this
16:07and even CBS News reported it
16:10last year 2025
16:122100 Americans
16:14were murdered by
16:16either convicted
16:17or people charged with
16:19illegal immigrants
16:20charged with killing Americans
16:215400 convicted or charged
16:25again illegal immigrants
16:27charged with either raping
16:29or sexually assaulting
16:31American citizens
16:32why don't the Democrats
16:34care about the names
16:36of those people
16:38yeah it's shocking to me
16:40Sean
16:40to hear them constantly
16:42speak on behalf of politics
16:44instead of the American people
16:46and Americans are going to have
16:47a choice coming up here
16:48if they want to choose
16:49the Democrats
16:50mass migration
16:52and infiltration
16:53of criminals
16:54but not just criminals
16:56we have thousands
16:56of known and suspected terrorists
16:58that the Biden administration
16:59let into this country
17:00or they can continue
17:02to choose President Trump
17:03who's making our country safe again
17:04who's making it
17:05more affordable
17:06for families to get into homes
17:07and to buy their groceries
17:09and put gas in their car
17:10he's giving them safety
17:12back in their communities
17:13and that's what
17:14the Department of Homeland Security
17:15does every single day
17:17what Democrats have done
17:18by defunding this department
17:19is put our safety at risk
17:21right here on our own soil
17:23we every day
17:24protect people
17:26in their communities
17:27but also our cyber security
17:28is all through
17:29the Department of Homeland Security
17:31our Coast Guard
17:31is out doing interdictions
17:32on the water
17:33we have stopped
17:34enough lethal doses
17:36of drugs
17:36from coming into this country
17:38that would have killed
17:391.7 billion people
17:41that's what the department
17:42has done in conjunction
17:43with our law enforcement officers
17:45in protecting
17:46in just the last 12 months
17:48and the Democrats
17:49are saying
17:50no we want to play politics
17:51and we want to risk
17:52the lives of Americans
17:54well if you look at
17:55just in the last number of days
17:56we've had murderers

18:11from 200 countries
18:12we don't
18:15it could be up to
18:1515 to 20 million people
18:17but it's not just
18:18the numbers
18:19it's also who they let in
18:20we know they let terrorists
18:22into this country
18:23every day
18:24that's what keeps me awake
18:25at night
18:25is that I haven't found them yet

18:29from Iran already

18:33that are on the known
18:34and suspected terrorist list
18:35just in the last year
18:36we have a lot more work to do
18:38we need the funding
18:39to be able to do that
18:40and we need to make sure
18:41that we have agencies
18:42in place that respond
18:44not just to this criminal element
18:46but also in disasters
18:47so that we have people
18:48that are able to go out
18:49and help people
18:50when a storm hits them
18:51when an earthquake
18:52or a tornado
18:53or an avalanche
18:54like we see in Colorado
18:55these are all situations
18:57that our department

20:39now back to Hannity
20:46all right we have
20:46breaking news out of
20:47the U.K. today
20:48where former Prince
20:49Andrew has been
20:50arrested on suspicion
20:52of misconduct in
20:53public office
20:54now here in the U.S.
20:55the House Oversight
20:56Committee has been
20:57investigating Epstein's
20:59crimes and following
21:00today's arrest
21:01the Oversight Committee
21:02chairman James Comer
21:03told Fox News
21:04Digital
21:04there must be
21:06accountability for
21:06anyone who was
21:07involved in Jeffrey
21:08Epstein's horrific crimes
21:10now the Justice
21:11Department's
21:12transparency is
21:12ensuring that no one
21:14is above the law
21:15even British loyalty
21:16Chairman Comer
21:17is with us now
21:18I don't think
21:20anybody's really
21:20surprised by this
21:24here's what I guess
21:25angers me about
21:26the whole thing
21:27at the top
21:28is not one time
21:30did Attorney General
21:32Merrick Garland
21:32ever answer
21:33a single question
21:34about these files
21:36why?
21:39well the Democrats
21:40didn't care about
21:41Epstein until
21:42someone had the
21:44notion that Donald
21:45Trump may have been
21:46involved and what
21:47we've seen from the
21:48millions of documents
21:50that have been
21:50released is that
21:51Donald Trump is
21:52completely exonerated
21:54in the whole
21:55Epstein saga
21:56but what we've seen
21:57is a lot of
21:57honestly unfinished
21:59business with
22:00respect to
22:01Epstein and the
22:03crimes that he and
22:04Maxwell committed
22:05any potential
22:06co-conspirators
22:07and holding people
22:07accountable I'd like
22:09to note what
22:09Britain charged
22:10Prince Andrew on
22:12what they arrested
22:13him on didn't have
22:14anything to do with
22:14sexual crimes it had
22:16to do with potential
22:17treason and that's
22:19one of the questions
22:20that we have in our
22:22investigation is how
22:23was Epstein able to
22:24surround himself with
22:26so many influential
22:27people like Prince
22:29Andrew and the
22:31Clinton family and
22:32others in Saudi
22:34princes and people
22:35all around the world
22:36and was there any
22:38type of spy ring that
22:40was going on that's a
22:41serious question that's
22:43never been answered and
22:44hopefully we'll be able
22:44to get the truth
22:46well he seemed like a
22:47guy that wanted to be
22:48around famous people
22:49Bill Gates among them I
22:50mean I'm not sure if
22:51you're going to bring him
22:52in but I guess what
22:54frustrates me is because
22:55Democrats we've now
22:57learned that Schumer and
22:58Hakeem Jeffries at post
23:00conviction you know was
23:02local conviction in the
23:03state of Florida they
23:05were still asking this
23:06guy for money and you
23:08know for all the talk
23:09about Donald Trump 25
23:10years ago or around 25
23:12years ago he threw this
23:14guy out of the Mar-a-Lago
23:15club which in you know
23:17society in Palm Beach is a
23:20big deal and did it
23:22publicly he humiliated him
23:24if the guy had anything
23:26incriminating on Donald
23:27Trump I'm sure we would
23:28have heard about it a long
23:30long time ago right that's
23:32exactly right that's what
23:34all the former attorney
23:35general have said Bill Barr
23:37and Merrick Garland and
23:39everyone if there had been
23:40any dirt on Donald Trump
23:43that would have leaked out
23:44because Donald Trump has
23:45that many enemies in the
23:47Department of Justice in the
23:48deep state apparatuses that
23:50were supposed to be
23:51investigating Epstein so
23:52with respect to Trump I
23:54don't think there's anything
23:55there and I think that if
23:58you look at Epstein and who
23:59the real bad people were
24:01the real bad people were
24:02the ones who continued to
24:04communicate with Epstein
24:05after he was convicted the
24:07first time and that's where
24:09the real bad behavior took
24:11place that's where you have
24:13to really question anyone
24:14that was ever around Epstein
24:17if you continue to associate
24:18with Epstein and Maxwell
24:19post the convention in 2010
24:22then you have some questions
24:24that need to be answered and
24:25we're looking at what the
24:27Department of Justice did
24:28that's one of the things I've
24:29been doing going into the
24:30Department of Justice looking
24:31at the unredacted version of
24:33the documents who all is the
24:35Department of Justice
24:36questioned before and
24:37obviously we deposed someone
24:38this week Lex Wexner who was
24:41one of the co-conspirators but
24:43he's already been investigated by
24:46the Department of Justice we're
24:47trying to focus down the
24:48investigation on who has never
24:50been questioned by the
24:52Department of Justice and how did
24:54number one Epstein accumulate so
24:57much wealth and number two how
24:59was he able to surround himself
25:01with so many rich famous and
25:04powerful people and hopefully
25:05we'll be able to get some answers
25:06on that I think he showed off his
25:09plane and what I have no idea
25:12seemed like he liked to be around
25:14famous people that's for sure
25:16chairman Comer I know you'll get to
25:18the bottom of it thank you for the
25:19update now the search for Nancy
25:21Guthrie continues and now according
25:23to a new report an accomplice has
25:25not been ruled out in her
25:27disappearance here with reaction
25:28the host of crime stories Nancy
25:30Grace is with us now the sheriff
25:33also said that investigators are
25:35analyzing biological evidence
25:37which is not the same as DNA let's
25:41get your take on today's
25:42developments and this seems to now
25:45be some real strong outspoken
25:48criticism about local the sheriff in
25:51particular in this case
25:55well he's blurted out so many
25:58things that I consider to be
25:59tactical advantages by law
26:01enforcement for instance saying hey
26:03yeah there might be an accomplice
26:05well that's a tip-off to the
26:07accomplice that we're looking for you
26:09number two he recently blurted out
26:11that he believes Nancy Guthrie is
26:13quote close to home
26:14now that makes me concerned that
26:17whoever is holding her could panic
26:19but as it relates to the
26:22possibility of an accomplice there is
26:25some evidence that there is accomplice
26:26number one behavioral clues many
26:30people have looked at the video and
26:32they believe that they see the front
26:34porch guy looking off or gesturing
26:37gesticulating or somehow
26:38communicating with someone off to the
26:40side not only that think about the
26:42logistics of maneuvering Miss Guthrie
26:45I mean my 94 year old mom lives with
26:47me and it's hard for me alone to
26:50maneuver her when she cannot walk and I
26:52think that is evidence Sean by the
26:55blood spatter is clearly low velocity
26:58free-falling blood in other words she's
27:00standing there possibly nosebleed and
27:03there's a little satellite of blood
27:04drops in one spot which means she
27:06stood still long enough for several
27:09blood drops to fall then it all ends
27:11suggesting did someone help get her out
27:15like under each arm so maneuvering her is
27:18definitely a two-person job also we know
27:21there is multiple stranger DNA in the home
27:26more than one person and we call it
27:28stranger DNA because it's not connected
27:31to anybody that is related to her or that
27:34is around her every day then the
27:37potential for a lookout first of all I
27:39sent you a photo I don't know if you got
27:41to look at it or not there's one shot of
27:43the French poor guy port front porch guy
27:45with the backpack on there's another one
27:48where he comes up without the backpack
27:51where did he get it wasn't in a car which
27:54leads me to a driver who's manning the car
27:58these are common sense questions that
28:02lead to evidence so yes I think it's
28:05entirely possible there is an accomplice and
28:07also the complexity remember the first
28:10ransom note if it is connected it was
28:12very well written and a sophisticated
28:14Bitcoin demand the next one was even more
28:18sophisticated demanding a Bitcoin
28:21alternative such as Monero which you can
28:24really not trace very well so there's a
28:27degree of sophistication that suggests an
28:30accomplice so he's not half wrong this time
28:33but if what is he a gumball machine and
28:35like it's up here and it just comes out
28:37here there's no filter there's no stopping
28:39it just rolls out and it's hurting the
28:41investigation yeah I I'm just hoping at
28:45this point I still go back to yesterday and I
28:47still have hope you know the idea that
28:49somebody did a search for Nancy Guthrie's
28:54address and Savannah Guthrie's salary that
28:58lends itself to what we thought in the
29:00beginning ransom you know kidnapping
29:04ransom and if those searches are correct
29:09they happened well before the kidnap which
29:13means clear premeditation I've discovered
29:16there's an another alternative that is
29:18being explored we know about the cell
29:20phones being found in the area hence the
29:22pulling over of one suspect that was then
29:25released excuse me person of interest but
29:28GPS you connect you know how you connect in
29:32your car your car has Wi-Fi Sirius XM on
29:36star even a smart watch an iPad that's not
29:41connecting all of those devices send out
29:45waves just like your cell phone and they
29:48can be trapped with geofencing Sirius XM will
29:52put up a fight they have in the past but
29:54pursuant to warrant you can get if it's a
29:57connected device you can get location
30:01tracking from all of these devices I'm
30:04telling you about the smart watch the
30:07iPad the Wi-Fi in your car I'm sure
30:10you've got Wi-Fi in your car you're not
30:12gonna be trapped in your car not being
30:13able to connect if you have to and Sirius
30:17XM and more that's a whole nother avenue of
30:19cellular data I got to thank you Nancy
30:23grace more and more people said you give
30:25them hope every night with your updates we
30:27appreciate you being with us thank you all
30:30right up next tonight right here on Hannity if
30:32you do a harsh crime you do harsh time just that's simple and then we need
30:39National Guard and which we did years ago all right that DC grandmother who lost
30:45her grandson to violent crime fiercely defending President Trump yesterday and
30:51his work to restore which he's done successfully DC law and order will join us right after the break
31:02all right simply no denying it President Trump is getting a lot of results under Joe Biden
31:06Washington DC saw one of the most violent years in its history 2023 nearly 7000 stolen cars almost 300
31:15people murdered President Trump comes to town deploys the National Guard last August to make DC safe again
31:22and you'll never guess what happened number of murders and stolen cars that DC has seen since the
31:29president deployed the Guard are each over 80 percent lower than the 2023 numbers overall crime since this
31:38deployment is roughly 70 percent lower than it was in 2023 President Trump is
31:44getting the job done local DC residents they're noticing they're happy they feel
31:49more safe and secure now one Washington DC grandmother who tragically lost her
31:54grandson to murder in the city is going viral right now after praising the president at yesterday's
32:02White House Black History Month reception take a look at this if you do a harsh crime you do harsh
32:08time
32:09just that simple and then we need National Guard and which we did years ago he brought it on
32:20I love him I don't want to hear nothing you got to say about that racist stuff and don't be
32:25looking
32:25at me on the news hating on me because I'm standing up for somebody that deserves to be standing up
32:31for
32:31get off the man's back let him do his job he's doing the right thing back up off of him
32:36and grandma said it
32:39get off his back let him do his damn job she's absolutely right results matter lives matter more than
32:45anything joining us right now with more very same Washington DC grandmother Felicia Cook is with
32:52us thank you for being with us you were amazing yesterday and you really on this show Felicia I have
33:00scrolled the name since 2009 that most of America never heard of before and those are the people that
33:07have been shot and shot and killed in places like Chicago and New York City and other big cities
33:12and we don't know those people's names do most people know the name of your grandson I don't think
33:19so talk about yesterday in that context oh my god it was really awesome that they took interest enough
33:30in my grandson's case to hear about it because that's what I rallied for that's what I protest for
33:37that's what I stood up for the laws to change the laws need to change and to have an opportunity
33:44to
33:45stand before the president on the same podium as he was for him wants to see things we saw the
33:53same
33:53thing I see the same thing I see his vision I know that what he's doing a lot of people
33:58are looking at it
33:58in the wrong aspect but tell me this will you look at it different it was your loved one that's
34:03murdered
34:04and you didn't get justice well you know that's my question Felicia I'm listening to you when you see
34:13a 70 80 percent reduction in murder I mean the passion that you showed this country yesterday I mean the
34:22odds
34:23are that much higher your grandson would be alive today if in fact they had taken law and order and
34:31safety and security seriously they didn't they don't do it in Chicago they don't do it in New York they
34:38don't do it in DC where you are they don't do it in LA they don't do it in San
34:42Francisco but
34:43Democratic run cities they love Democrats they keep electing Democrats what's your message to them
34:52stop voting for party vote for causes vote for those that you see are making changes the right
34:59changes that are keeping us safe keep our children safe when they're in schools when they're walking
35:05back and forth to school you know we want to say it is a racist thing let me say this
35:11a black man
35:12killed my grandson you tell me you know and that's what a lot of it is black on black killing
35:18I'm
35:18sorry to say that that's the truth so why am I looking at race I'm looking at issues when I
35:25vote for someone I vote for the issues I vote for the causes I stand up for the causes and
35:30we need to
35:31get over parties and races I wish you and your family God bless you for what you're doing I think
35:38your passion is infectious and hopefully you know that message will resonate with a lot of other people
35:45there and God bless you and your family thank you for being with us and up next tonight right here
35:50on
35:51Hannity but Marco don't do any better than you did please because if you do you're out of here
35:59Marco Rubio apparently making the president proud our very own Joe Conchaways and also the Washington
36:05swamp is getting a whole new meaning we'll explain that straight ahead earlier today President Trump praised
36:13our secretary of state Marco Rubio and his speech in Munich and joked that if he does any better
36:18the president's gonna have to fire him take a look and Marco you really did yourself proud two days ago
36:26in Munich in fact so proud that I almost terminated his employee because they were saying why can't
36:33Trump do this I do but I say it differently but Marco don't do any better than you did please
36:42because if you do you're out of here all right here with reaction Fox News contributor Joe Conscious
36:50with us that speech was spectacular he's telling Europe you've had unfettered immigration without
36:57assimilation you've embraced climate alarmism you've embraced socialism and you've neglected national
37:03security and he got a standing o for excoriating them it was great it was great Sean especially when you
37:11put it
37:11in contrast with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's performance uh human Chernobyl 2.0 uh when she
37:18couldn't explain seriously it's like Kamala all over again it's like Kamala sounded more coherent but
37:23then you put you put Rubio up against that and you're like wow and when we consider MVP candidates
37:28for President Trump's second term from a media messaging impact perspective I think Scott Besant has
37:33been incredible at a treasury uh especially in adversarial interviews uh but another top candidate has to be
37:39for MVP Marco Rubio he has been flawless in speeches interviews it's such a far cry from 2016
37:45when Rubio was unsteady as a presidential candidate now he's as serious as a prison fight and he has the
37:50confidence of a heavyweight champion and Trump knows that this one-two punch advance and Rubio would be
37:56extremely tough to beat and when you look at the chemistry between Trump's cabinet now in 2.0 Trump as
38:02far as
38:02the second term and the way it was back in 2017 during his first turn it is night and day
38:07he genuinely likes the
38:08people that are working with him and for him well said uh all right Bernie Sanders is back on the
38:14campaign trail he's pushing that far left tax policy this time in California now Sanders rallying support
38:21for the five percent wealth tax calling for big tax hikes on high income earners and investment gains
38:28Governor Gavin Newsom is now opposing it warning it would weaken the state's economy uh people already
38:34have left in droves and driving billionaires out of the state so AOC Bernie Sanders you know Gavin
38:42is playing it a little bit differently only because uh he already has the highest tax state and he's got
38:50to run on that record which is going to be his Achilles heel and the fact that he never shows
38:55up for work
38:57yeah exactly Sean he has to act like he's running towards the center and being the common sense
39:02Democrat uh Kathy Hochul's doing the same thing in New York by the way where Zora Memdani the mayor of
39:07New York wants more money to pay for all the free stuff he's basically the Oprah of mayors saying you
39:12get free child care and you get free busing and even Hochul is saying I'm not going to raise taxes
39:16to
39:16pay for all this stuff so yeah in the end this is what's going on within the Democratic Party right
39:21now
39:21Bernie AOC Memdani uh wanting the free stuff and wanting to tax billionaires and millionaires
39:27without realizing correctly that if you do that they know how to move they know how to call U-Haul
39:33and take whatever business they have or employees they have and get the hell out of places like
39:37Illinois New York and California and that's why so many electoral votes are now going to be added in
39:42the next census to places like Florida and Texas because that's where people are moving because the
39:47taxes there are much more obviously affordable Bernie Sanders should know that but
39:51well you know he's never learned Allison 50 years and he's out he's out of there Mark Zuckerberg he's
39:56out of there uh two of the Google co-founders including Larry they've left uh all right let's
40:03go to uh DC uh the swamp the real swamp the Potomac that sewage spill is now worsening now the
40:10largest in
40:11U.S. history President Trump has been critical of local and state officials in DC and Maryland and
40:16Virginia for the spill and said they must act immediately said the federal federal government
40:21can fix the issue adding that uh quote act fast and I am awaiting your call well didn't take long
40:28for DC mayor Bowser to reach out on Wednesday she declared a disaster emergency requesting federal
40:35assistance with cleanup the only problem is FEMA's closed right now that's a problem
40:42big problem and Democrats are causing it like they did the last government shutdown but a little
40:47golf clap for Bowser Sean because like she did with the National Guard she is accepting President
40:52Trump's health help as far as making the city better uh and she's trying to do that now in an
40:57emergency I mean we're talking here on your screen Sean one billion with a B gallons of raw sewage
41:02into the Potomac River and where are the environmentalists they're all essentially silent and then I looked at the
41:07home page of the CNN New York Times ABC News NBC News you almost find nothing on this story where's
41:14Rachel Maddow this is supposed to be your sweet spot if this kind of environmental disaster happened
41:18in red states like Florida and Texas under DeSantis and Abbott this would be the lead story for weeks
41:23instead it's silence of the lambs Sean no one's talking about it because Democrats run Maryland DC
41:28and Virginia well said Joe Concha as always thank you all right coming up my team asked a few of
41:34my
41:34friends what it's like to hang out with me
