RUSH EXCERPT:

HANNITY: "An exclusive interview, the outgoing White House press secretary Sean Spicer. I guess after tonight you are probably going to be one happy guy? Just guessing." 
SPICER: "It has been an honor and privilege to serve the president in this country but I will never be able to think the president enough for what he has been able to allow me to do. And I have the great opportunity to have some tremendous folks on a team here that work tirelessly to promote the president’s agenda. I am leaving it in capable hands with both Anthony and Sarah Sanders who has been a tremendous partner and will continue for the president in the country with a great job." 
HANNITY: "Walk us through what happened, and from what I understand, the president did not want you to go, tell us what happened?" 
SPICER: "He did not. He has been gracious through the process pretty wanted to bring in some new folks to rev up the communications operation. After reflection, my — I gave Anthony and Sarah a clean slate to start from. So that they can talk about the president’s agenda and help move it forward. And he after some back and forth understood that the offer I was making was in the best interest of this administration. I thank him for the opportunity, and I’m looking forward to watching Anthony and Sarah do a tremendous job."
