[ ♪♪ ] >> sean: welcome to the

special addition of 'hannity' and by the way happy memorial day and for the our highlight some of our interviews and immigration one of the biggest issues i have the election but recently traveled to shelby parks and an explosive interview with former president donald trump about the border crisis. take a look. >> sean: down the escalator, this was a big issue is you were attacked out-of-the-box the date when you came down the escalator >> president trump:: i was hearing about it from a lot of people in one of the primary reasons in 2016 i ran i ran on the border and other things but i ran the border largely any fix the problem in 2020 wasn't even a subject and i said i would go out to talk about the border and they would say, sir,, you fixed it and no one cares. what has happened is since the election many more votes than we had the first time as we have a situation this border makes 2016

look like baby stuff. it's the worst border ever in the history of the world. never been a border where 18 million people have already crossed and no one has any idea what that number is millions of people and they come from jails and prisons and from mental institutions and a step above that the insane asylum's and it's hard to believe and you have terrorists coming as someone who watches your show a lot, i thank you do a fantastic job and you say one hunter percent certain i hate to hear it that will have a big attack at some point. >> sean: i pray that i'm wrong >> president trump: and that's a very sad thing but i've heard you say it a few times and i said i'm not going going to dispute it and i hope you're wrong but certainly a chance but coming from number and countries

of 28,000 from china all fighting age and you don't see women and you don't see men much older than that it's 18-25 years old and there something going on coming from yemen that were bombing in the congo from prisons and the only good thing is it makes our prisoners look like very nice people because these are rough people coming in when you see them from venezuela fistfights you would see cops a lot about things happening to cops you never saw people standing in the middle of the street in a fistfight and if that happened in their country, they would kill them within seconds and would not allow it so very terrible think our countries being poisoned and it's hard to believe. as a business guy, one understand what is the other side thinking and i don't know what they're thinking because who could want this who could want millions of people from lots of bad places pulling into

a country and we have not seen this is just the beginning. we're just starting to see my great crime and i call it biden migrant crime so it's to long slush is called migrant crime and everyone will know because it because of biden. without an inflow people of numbers that are unbelievable and you see hundreds of thousands of people in new york and the mayor is trying it wants to do a job but it's impossible. >> sean: they made new york city a sanctuary city. i want to go back to what you referred to what i've been saying because i point out, putting it up on the screen the numbers of people coming from iran, number 1 state sponsor of terror you have syria in the home of the muslim brotherhood egypt, thousands coming from egypt we know of in thousands from afghanistan and al qaeda has training camps again and over 14,000 from russia and

recently over 37,000 recently from china. why would they make that long journey to our southern border and my fear is we have in our country because these illegals are not vetted and i fear that terror cells have set up in this country that will plot and scheme the next 911 or worse and i pray to god i'm wrong but i don't think i'm wrong. >> president trump: as of today, 29,000 young men from china in our country for the last three or four months and there something going on and hopefully we don't have that problem in which china always had a good relationship with china a step too far we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from china and no president tooken ten cents. we cigar along with him but when you look at this and other countries a lot coming in from

around from places were fighting you don't have to have bombs 78 years we had no war and i defeated isis and took out the leading terrorists in the world, both of them. >> sean: the leader of al qaeda's before the worst in the world's and you look at it and you look at what's going on with their country and i'll tell you you come to texas this is now a war zone and they view it as a war zone in mexico is doing nothing to help us as her letting the caravans come unimpeded they come in by the thousands caravans of 25 thousands walking into our country so something has to be done the problem you have a very liberal governor in arizona a lot of people say who should not be the governor and newsom in california doing a terrible job and other than talking about how

wonderful it is, you have an outflow people and you know better than anybody. this guys talking about california and millions of people are coming in for free healthcare and education. >> sean: you go to jail and they let you out. >> president trump: for our veterans, they get nothing and people that have been there for a long time, they get nothing but they get free healthcare and if you come in illegally to her country, you get things and this is why they're coming that the incentive is so great. >> sean: our top geopolitical foe is china and russia not far behind or iran your friend rocket man but china's nationals have been by the thousands of acres of farmland in ranchland and land near military installations. know the president of china and if you called him and said i know someone sean 'hannity'

would like to buy farmland and you think he'd allow me? >> president trump: i don't think so as they don't allow that and they're very possessive of their country and staying sharp and bright and frankly coming into this country and you could take it a step further. united states i'm not trying to equate japan but it's all outside their coming in japan is buying u.s. steel. a long time ago the best in the world but i don't like seeing that in part of the reason is other countries in particular dumped steel into the united states and i had that problem taken care of because a book big tariffs on the steel and i saved the industry but now they're letting it go you're not getting the steel and if you want to build the army tank, you have to get the steal from china? i think it's a very dangerous

position i don't think our country has been in a dangerous position that when you look at what we're talking about tonight but beyond that it began to a large extent but it began with afghanistan reshowed that greatness and stupidity taken the military out first leaving $85 billion worth of equipment 13 soldiers killed and no one talks about the 38 obliterated boss or arms and legs just obliterated and we left a lot of americans behind and you used to cover that and give it a countdown and i think you stop doing it but it's horrible you have americans over there that i guess you could call them hostages in a sense. >> sean: trapped behind enemy lines. >> president trump: around close to building nuclear weapons possibly 35. >> sean: i'm not a fan of the un they said they think they now

have weapons grade material to build weapons. >> president trump: would've never happened as around was broke and i told china you narco do business no business in the united states and i told that's in many countries no one take oil from iran and they were broke and acknowledged to be broke with no money for hamas or hezbollah and now $231 billion that they made over the last three years. >> sean: joe hoping to make them rich again in the 10 billion they allowed from iraq. >> president trump: they think he's the worst in the worst president in the history of our country. jimmy carter is a very happy man now because his presidency is brilliant in comparison to joe biden. >> sean: let me ask you this, would've been nice if joe would

sit with us and i'm not sure he's capable of having a discussion like this and i tend to doubt it and i cover that extensively but we shows up today he didn't really show up at the hotspots of the border but i played that tape and everyone has children and if children get in trouble, i don't care but if they lie to you, a whole lot of trouble and they have been lying to the american people for three years play that montage of border security and her eyes were not lying to us as we been showing this video of migrants for three years now they change the narrative that this is the republicans fault. your reaction. >> president trump: all disinformation. russia, russia. they will say something that the

border is great and say it a thousand different times and some people will believe it and i think that's the hardest thing they have to do because they destroyed this border in the process of destroying our country and allowing people in our country we shouldn't have and allowing an extraordinary tough group of people into our country. when you have prisons and jails in mental institutions being emptied out not just in south america but all over the world that you can check your prison population throughout the world and it's all coming into our country and how can that be good politically? >> sean: joe biden is here today and i want to get you the reaction. we just saw the other tape that showed there were so many of trump's policies that i can't even list them and i gave it a short list and what is your

reaction and why do you think he's here today? i don't think it's an accident. brag about reversing the policies you put in place and what your reaction? >> president trump: i know why he's here because he found that we were coming you and i made this agreement two weeks ago but we made it a while ago and word got out in a couple weeks ago it started getting out and they found out for sure you put the nice little picture on the corner of your television set that i was coming and they announced their coming but they went to the wrong area and essentially no one coming through so you're not seeing that this area is tough. >> sean: if you win in november about 241 days if i'm right and how do you reverse this?

nearly 10 million unvented immigrants and we don't know where they are many given core gates seven or eight years down the road and you talked about deportation and how do we identify them find them and deport them it is that your promise to the american people? >> absolutely and we have no choice as it is not sustainable this whole place is going bad as every state is a border state. talking to the governor before and has done a great job governor abbott. >> sean: to crews wanted to be here but chuck schumer brought him back to dc. >> president trump: have to deport a lot of people and start immediately. people don't know dwight eisenhower was a pretty tough president and i never thought a bit of that but he was a big deep order and he would deport tremendous numbers of people bring them to the other side of the border and they would come

back and then brought them 2000 miles back and they didn't come back. we have no choice and the way you do it is with local police as we have the greatest police and they don't get the respect and they're treated so badly they do something and end up losing their pension and even if it's a good thing that if they stop a crime they lose their pension and their family and their house were gonna give immunity to policing give police the job they need to do so when they understand the migrants are they know them by their first and last name and where they come from and it's going to be the local police turn them over and move them back to their country. >> sean: this is the razor wire and if we go back all the country was watching the mass migration right here and you did the job the federal government should do and if you go all the way down that line you see how expensive it is and you put the

containers and in a 99 percent reduction. >> where were looking used to be three to 5000 people crossing every day and night to see there no way anyone could cross here and now we have an average of seven people crossing a day and if they make it across, they are arrested. >> sean: you knew then this could be fixed and put all these policies in place joe biden with the stroke of the pen told us for three years the border is secure and closed and his anger anger you? i don't like to be like to. >> president trump: i don't know what east talking about we worked very closely with the governor to put up all had a great relationship and what happened is the governor kept moving he did the whole thing with the wire and it's pretty tough stuff. >> sean: is not his

responsibility? >> president trump: it should be the government and we were moving down the area and we did such a good job have to remember we're talking about this that the wall is always going to be the most effective but the issue can't cut find ways to talk about the layers of it great relationship arizona governor newsom friend not doing his job. >> sean: all of this was so preventable the first hundred days all the policies you have a rescinded. >> sean: unless you want open borders because he always like to understand the other side's opinion on the other side of something and the one thing no one can tell me otherwise they're trying to sign people up but why did they want this? to affect our country like this and setting these people from prison and people from mental

institutions and how is that a good thing and even from a political standpoint, how can you win an election when you're doing this? texas took the right stance and arizona will have to step it up because the whole country will be very upset with the governor of arizona. >> sean: you saw police officers in times square at night it's lit up like broad daylight as bright as it could be kind of like vegas and here i'm watching two police officers getting the hell beat out of them a guy running at full force and kicking this guy in the head and i'm like how is this happening in our country? >> president trump: you never seen that before? we seen worse we seen them shot you've never seen police officers and a fistfight with guys there openly for spiting and the odds were not good but something i'm never seen before

again more violence as you see shots and other things but it's something you never seen in the total disrespect for the law. >> americans have unified against illegal immigration right now and more than on any other issue so i think that will change what's going on in the cities and states to look at the citizens in chicago fighting back what's going on in new york again city council members and they are angry and look at the backlash when georgia got in athens and americans are outraged like i've never seen. >> sean: i know both of you have been very busy but university of georgia had a rally for the young nursing student that lost her life and thousands of thousands of people showed up and people of this country have had it. via borders and laws and should have sovereignty now i don't

think either of you disagree with illegal immigration and shouldn't that include vetting people to make sure they don't have radical ties or a health check and have to show they won't be a burden financially. >> another issue i share is governor people that want to come here so many people who want to come here legally and getting pushed to the back of the line because of those who come here illegally will biden has done has destroyed legal immigration while facilitated illegal immigration. >> sean: an invasion of military aged men and i pray to god that i'm wrong but i have no doubt the people of iran and syria and egypt in afghanistan among them are not people to have their best intentions in heart they are here in this country plotting and scheming sadly i think i'm right and i wish i was wrong. it's great to see you governor and appreciate you.

>> sean: always great to see you mr president. >> sean: coming up, my interview with robert croft about the anti-semitism we saw at columbia.

gotcha. take that. whoa! bruh! i'm fine. that smack looked bad. not compared to the smack down i'm giving you. you sure you're, ok?

you know you're down 200 points, right? lucky, she convinced me to get help. i had a concussion that could've been game over. in actual reality, you've only got one life. don't mess with your melon. life's daily battles are not meant to be fought alone.. - we're not powerless. so long as we don't lose sight of what's important. don't be afraid to seize that moment to talk to your friends. - cloud, you okay? because checking in on a friend can create a safe space. - the first step on our new journey. you coming? reach out to a friend about their mental health. seize the awkward. it's totally worth it.

[ ♪♪ ] >> welcome to fox news live as closing arguments hours away in the hush money trial against former president donald trump the trial resumes in the morning and prosecutors and defense lawyers will have their final opportunity to address the journey -- jury deliberations begin wednesday consider 34 charges against the republican nominee and trump maintained his innocence. denying pursuing nuclear weapons according to the united nations nuclear watchdog that iran is

now just a short technical step away from weapons grade levels of uranium and they've maintained the nuclear program is peaceful but western experts along parade's concerns they are trying to become a nuclear nation. back to 'hannity' and for all your headlines go to foxnews.com. [ ♪♪ ] >> sean: welcome back to a special addition of 'hannity'. i spoke to new england patriots owner robert kraft day he announced he was pulling the support from columbia university amid the anti- israel protesters that engulfed the campus. >> sean: thank you for taking time to be with us. >> think he when it's great to be with you sean -- thank you i never thought i would see what's going on in america what's happening right now and it really pains me to see it that

we have our holiday going on goes back to memories of thousands of years ago when negative things we're happening and the same is happening now in this great country that offers so many opportunities to our families who came here as immigrants and we have to keep it open and we can't have this intimidation that's filtering through all these colleges and the hate continued to grow and multiply the way it is. >> sean: you know, i never thought in our lifetime mr croft ever that we would be where we are today and i thought you summed it up very well how saddened you are at the hate that continues to grow on campus throughout the country. it's also the halls of congress and also all throughout europe

and i never thought that australia people would chant gas the jews. robert kraft, i never thought the world would turn this way i thought we would've learned from history and clearly we have not. >> yes, and it's very sad to me you know but look at america. we have done research and it shows 90 percent of this people in this country are good people but they just have to be educated and we can't have them apathetic or misguided but have to let them know that they have to stand up and not be silent and it starts with the jews but every group that feels

marginalized weather blocks caucasians, hispanics, gay people. it will really impact the great fabric of this country we're people have freedom to operate and go the way they want and now we have hatred and intimidation taking over and i'm just thinking when i went to columbia it was a place where people listened and had compassion and no we have professors who instead of teaching how to think that they're trying to tell our young people what they should think and i think one of the biggest problems we have to do something about his really tenure at these universities where people can do things and don't have accountability. >> sean: yes, you have tenured professors we are -- that were

celebrating october 7th in 1200 israelis were slaughtered the day on the number of children burned to death or decapitated or the rapes that took place in the hostages taken you talk with great affection and then say you're not comfortable supporting this university until corrective action is taken and what action would you insist on? >> i must .1 little detail that i do still support the craft center which has been a haven for professors and students who don't feel safe and i also have to compliment the mayor eric adams who i think has been a standup guy and really that has made me feel good to see that there are people like this who are not afraid to stand up and have the courage to say the

right think. >> sean: you went to columbia and watched what happened last night and you had already taken a strong stand you took it during the super bowl and since october 7th and look where we are. robert, i never thought we'd see this in our lifetime. >> you and me both shown. i think our universities one of our competitive advantages as a country and i think what's going on now throughout america is scaring a lot of people and they want to know if we're gonna win this battle and i ask all your good listeners who care about this country to speak up now as universities used to be where you have critical debate and different points of view and we did not teach a and

intimidation. >> sean: let me ask you a question and maybe all use a football analogy let's say the new england patriots have the number 1 draft pick and you have a tom brady star in the making that will go first pick and you found out that individual was a part of any of what we have been witnessing on television and believe that in would you pick that player? >> no and i know tom brady pretty well and he represents the best values of america. >> sean: i believe that i was not insinuating anything else. >> we have the privilege of picking a pretty special guy number 3 this year who i think we are very proud of and represents his family and the values that all of us in america hold dear and the reason i took

these adds out is that i want people to know the good people and they have come to our foundation that they really care and have to speak up and not be silent the way martin luther king spoke about it. >> sean: i agree with you and i wish more people like yourself of prominence that have when robert kraft speaks, lot of people listen and i've known you as a friend for many years and proud of the fact you've taken a strong stand and i remember when the issue of social justice came up in the nfl, didn't you go to your players and say if there's any charity near and dear to your heart, whatever money you raise or put into it that you would match it? >> 100 percent yes.

thank you for saying that and it's true. look i am one of the greatest beneficiaries of what america has to offer as i had a full academic scholarship to columbia and i trimmed big dreams and went through tough times but it's the greatest country in the world and i'm privileged among other things to own an nfl franchise in my hometown and i didn't have a car 1225 and i want to keep those values alive for everyone that comes to this country and i had a dinner tonight with the woman who runs one of the best hospitals in boston and she came here from nicaragua at age 10 and she lived the american dream and they left nicaragua and now she's worried what's happening here.

good people care and we just need to banned together and speak out and not to be afraid and we need empathy here and not hatred. >> sean: coming up, i spoke with stormy daniels former attorney at the start of the trump trial in new york and will play you the interview. salonpas lidocaine flex. a super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc strength lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. and did we mention, it really, really sticks? salonpas, it's good medicine.

[ ♪♪ ] >> sean: at the beginning of trump's sham trial, i spoke with stormy daniels former attorney about the case. take a look. >> sean: joining me now michael, thank you for being with us. >> good to be with you. >> sean: 19 years in prison with no possibility of parole, that is daunting i don't wish

that on anyone and i'm not gonna rehash all the stuff behind this but i'm sure reality has set in and what you lifelike in there? >> and doing fine and very blessed going back in touch with my faith and my family stuck by me as 19 years as a draconian sentence and i have some pending appeals but i'm trying to keep my chin up. >> sean: understand and i'm sure it's not easy. let me go to the heart of this that the case going on in new york. a hundred and $30,000 80 years ago and you had said you defended trump as a victim of the system and i think there's a lot of issues involving the statue of limitations and issues involving the judge donating to biotin and potential conflicts with his family and problems with how did they get from a

misdemeanor to felony charges on the federal level? as a lawyer, when you look at the charges and the timeframe in the judge donating to biotin and impossible other family conflicts, what is your reaction wrong. >> the case is grossly unfair and come to a surprise of a lot of people but i strongly believe that what's happening right now to president trump and let me be clear, disagree with president trump on 95 percent of the issues at a minimum but one thing he and i agree on is the political eyes a shin of these cases and this case in particular is gross and uncalled for and flat-out wrong here and effort to deprive milliken's -- millions of americans of their choice for president as this guy have been indicted of four cases across the east coast and in

this country, we don't have serial killers prosecuted at the same time in four different cases. the timing is wrong, the cases wrong in not receiving due process. >> sean: let me ask you because fox news.com did an article in an interview with you and pointed out the one time "most dangerous enemy of donald trump." which allow people thought people thought it would bring down his presidency and i remember at the time i met you and i remember that you were passionate and had the media all over you and media suggesting that you might run for president one day and obviously taking a very different posture now about the case and about where you were then and what you're saying then and what you are saying now. is your experience that contributed to this or is this

the totality of what happened with you and your former clients in the totality of what happened with michael cohen in the totality of what happened in your own life. it such a different michael to me. >> i think it's all of what you mentioned that i do recall when we met and we got along pretty well that night but apart from that, i've learned a lot over the past five years as i've been a product of the system if you will and i've been fighting three cases at one time before and learned a lot about the media and what it's like when the government comes for you when you were targeted and learned a lot what it means to get due process or be deprived of due process so they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but i guess that's not true because i've certainly grown and learned a lot over the

last five years and that's why i'm saying what i'm saying now and i firmly believe it. >> sean: let me ask you a question if you were to testify in this case that you would know the prosecution would want to impeach you as a witness in all these issues you had to do with and all of that would be brought up i would you handle that? >> i would handle it directly and truthfully and i can promise you i'd be a hell of a lot better witness than michael cohen could hope to be. >> sean: coming up, my interview with the former greats heavyweight champ of the one and only iron mike tyson straightahead. and see why pods has been trusted with over 6 million moves. don't wait, use promo code 25now to save. book at pods.com today.

>> sean: i recently interviewed iron mike tyson about his much-anticipated fight

against youtube start jake paul coming up in july. take a look. good to see you my friend. >> what's up sean. >> sean: please promise me you will kick this guy and shut him up? >> i will do just that for you. >> sean: going out and doing it for me. watch a training video and i know you are in super shape. going into this fight nearly twice as old as this guy that an advantage for him for younger and faster looks like you were on your a game in the video. >> i don't think he's faster than me. >> sean: how hard are you training? >> i train every day. >> sean: how many hours a day?

>> i take it serious. >> process goes through the whole day as i get up in the morning and do the row work and i go to the gym at one and go to the strength and conditioning guy and i start all over again. >> sean: jake paul says he wants to be world champion and says you're the greatest heavyweight champion ever in the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time and this will be the fight of a lifetime you have a chance to assess him, what you think of his boxing ability? >> he came along way from from youtube and listen i've seen the youtube ahem at 16 doing we're dances and that's on thick i am fighting the sky will come and try to hurt me which i'm accustomed to and he will be gravely mistaken. >> sean: there has been a lot of rumors out there about the fight with an 18-ounce gloves

and wearing headgear? >> not true at all. listen, this is called exhibition but if you look up exhibition, you will not see any of the laws were fighting under. this is a fight. >> sean: you were going in and this is a real fight and what is bringing you back and luring you back in? is it like the last rocky movie and you have stuff in the basement that you need to get it out? >> you know i have a weird personality but i don't think it's weird though but what i'm afraid of doing i do it and that's how it is. i was a hundred pounds overweight and i said let's do it. anything i'm afraid of, i confronted and that's my

personality here right now i'm scared to death but as the fight gets closer, the less nervous i become because in reality i'm invincible. >> sean: i think the people hearing mike tyson is scared to death is kind of reminiscent of the last rocky movie says i'm scared to death and i'm afraid of nothing and so that didn't work out. did you feel that fear or sense of failure all your career? >> it's a sign of victory. >> sean: that drive you through all of those matches? >> i always believe that adversity and nervousness poked me in to success and if i didn't have these feelings, i would not go into this fight and a half to

have these feelings to fight without them i would not go in the rink. >> sean: i hope you don't have those feelings of fear for me because i don't feel like getting in the ring with you. one of those mike tyson left hooks will knock me out. >> i would invite you either. >> sean: our mutual friend actually started our friendship and what a great guy he is says you are the nicest guy on earth one of the nicest people he ever met and i red something and i'll talk a little bit about your business as you have gone into the weed edible business and you call it mike bites shaped like an ear referring to your fight and this is what you said that interested me that you said it makes you a different person and

you want to offer this medicinal hope for others looking for emotional and physical relief. this is medicinal for you correct? >> absolutely not only for myself but millions and hundreds of millions of people on the planet. >> sean: you actually said, if i don't use it for a weak or three dies -- three days that you're a totally different person and you said you're not a likable person. what happens if you don't have the medication? >> i don't know but maybe has to do with my try polar tendencies or something but i know thank i'll be smoking for this fight but really irritable and nasty. >> sean: i don't know if irritable and nasty will help you maybe a pistol off mike but let me ask you this, you're launching this new and is it

something which you take this before the fight for example? >> normally i do but this fight i think i will go pretty raw and naked. >> sean: without all of it. alright, fight is coming up and you are training and you have any dislike for jake paul? you want to teach him a lesson? >> i will do just that but i don't dislike him and have no grudges against him and he's beautiful and not from that perspective but this is from my point of view of grabbing glory. never for money but only glory never risk my health for money. >> sean: obviously feel you are in the best shape. i know i speak for a lot of people that they want to see mike tyson when this fight and

my guess it will be a great night and that's for sure. definitely one for the ages. >> i'm looking so forward to it. >> sean: i respect anyone who gets into the ring or the octagon. rate respect. >> sean: more of the special edition of 'hannity' straight ahead.
