7:00 pm
of what his kids do, but writing i'm not going to make them believe they're entitled to something just because you tried your best. good-bye! tonight, they've got to stop thinking small. >> glenn beck and i talk about the 2016 republican field and donald trump lays out a detailed plan to combat illegal immigration. >> they have to go. we either have a country or don't have a country. >> one of trump's biggest critics is here tonight to respond. hillary clinton's server scandal now deepens. >> you may have seen that i recently launched a snapchat account. >> and the democratic front runner makes light of the situation. >> i love it. those messages disappear all by themselves. >> "hannity" starts here and now. >> 2016 presidential republican
7:01 pm
candidate donlds trump has put together a detailed multi-page plan on how he plans to attack illegal immigration. more on that in a few minutes. but first, over the weekend, donald trump descended on the iowa state fair where he attr t attracted huge crowds and answered dozens of questions and gave free rides to kids in his helicopter. held a press conference in iowa where he delivered candid remarks. watch this. >> we're going to take jobs back from china, japan, we're going to make our country great again. and that to me is going to be the challenge. and we're going to do it. and it's not going to be that difficult. when i get the right people negotiating with the right countries, we will come out on top. every single time. when i do a deal, i don't say, oh, here's 14 points for -- i go out and do it. i don't sit down and talk about 14 points. she just asked am i going to take questions from reporters? am i taking questions from reporters? they'll tell you i'm taking
7:02 pm
questions. by the way, unlike hillary. unlike hillary, this is unlike hillary, do we agree? >> all right. here now is the author of a brand new book. it is about islam exposing the truth about al qaeda, iran and the caliphate. former fox colleague glenn beck. how are you? you don't need an introduction. we'll just say beck. >> right. >> let's start with. you put a facebook post up on friday. you mentioned me and coulter and rush and others. >> right. >> and you wanted an answer. tell us the answer -- the question. >> what i wrote was, and i called you right after i wrote you right after i posted it because you and i are friends and i wanted to say, i really do want an answer on this. not trying to throw anybody under the bus and not trying to throw trump under the bus. i'm trying to understand how conservatives can look at donald
7:03 pm
trump's record, which he himself self-identifies more as a democrat than as a conservative or a republican. and say, that's our guy. now, i want the american people to decide and i'm not trying to shut him down. i don't agree with people who want to, you know, kick him out or silence him or whatever. i just don't understand it. because his record is horrendous when it comes to conservative principles. >> you know, i guess what it's going to come down to, and i know you said on your radio show today because i read it on the blaze on your website that you and i are at an impasse. i think it was about ten pages. by the way, i typed the whole thing out on my iphone. i'm sitting there on the tennis tournament. writing you back and i didn't expect it to go that long, by the way. >> right. >> but i wanted to give you a real thoughtful answer. >> and you did. >> and -- >> you did. >> did you agree with anything i said? what's the point?
7:04 pm
>> no, i do agree. i do agree that our jobs, we see our jobs differently. and we talked about. again, you wrote a lot. there was a lot to agree on. and the things you said about each candidate, i agree on. and the way you handle things. i'm much more of an opinion guy, and there are people that -- there are candidates i don't want to -- i don't want to talk to jeb bush. i know what jeb bush is going to say. i got it. you have jeb bush on because people access these candidates through you. i'm more of an opinion guy. >> well, i give a lot of opinions, too. i am genuinely, i put this in my letter. i am currently undecided. and the good thing about the process, i tried to explain this, we've got 5 1/2 months until february 1, 2016 is when the iowa caucus is. >> so you know, so you know, i'm currently undecided. i mean, i have favorites. i love ted cruz.
7:05 pm
>> but if he doesn't go, i'd go to rand paul, i would -- i'm looking at rubio. i'm still kicking the tires on rubio and walker. but there are others. >> they're all good people. >> everyone you mentioned, i like a lot and i put that in. >> correct. >> but there are others i would not vote for. just because, i think, they're progressive in nature. i believe that donald trump is progressive in nature. he looks for the strong government. and more importantly, i think this says a lot -- i mean, again, i want to be really clear. because i think what donald trump is saying is connecting to people. and i feel like a lot of the things that he says, you know. i feel that we've been screwed by china. we're screwing ourselves. we haven't been screwed by them. we're screwing ourselves with china, with mexico and everybody else. i get that. and i want people to be strong and build a better nation, et cetera, et cetera. but i don't want to do it with a guy who has suggested in the
7:06 pm
past. and i know you've asked him that he says, well, now i wouldn't do that. but he's suggested in the past, we just take wealth away from people. nowhere in the constitution could you find something like that. >> i agree with that. i agree with that analysis. here, i guess, is where the impasse will forever be. and i have at this point, i think i've asked him every question that i wanted answered. i think i can best serve my audience on radio and tv by giving access to the candidates. and many of the specific things you brought up about abortion, for example, i liked his answer. he knew a woman that was about to have an abortion, she didn't have it, he knows the kid. it was profound, he changed his heart. on the issue of health care, for example, he now supports health care savings accounts. on issues involving the economy, we got into very specific detail. on issues of isis, i liked the idea of taking iraq's oil and
7:07 pm
giving millions to the 5,000 americans and the iraqis should pay for their own liberation. they owe that to them. the perimeter idea is good if it's comprehensive. >> that wasn't the deal. i mean, i agree, i think that should have been the deal on the outset. but that wasn't the deal. and to go in now retroactively and say, oh, by the way, we're taking your oil. >> this is a different environment because now isis contro controls mosul. >> and i have no problem making that deal. but that's different than saying we're going to go in there and take the oil. i understand. >> the only thing i would argue back to you. and i think there's a reason for his success. and i think the reason is, republicans are weak and timid in washington, especially. the republican governors have done better. they're weak and timid, broken so many promises, americans are fed up, the problems we face are severe 93 million americans out of the labor force, 50 million in poverty. we have literally on the world
7:08 pm
stage, we have exited, and as a result, the world is a less safe place. and i think what he's saying shows strength and conviction. where do you stand on that? >> remember, you're a guy who taught me about what barack obama said in the past and got me to care about what he said in the past. what somebody says in the past makes a difference. i agree. >> i will say this. i agree with you on this. cnn played an old clip of me about 6 or 8 months ago, maybe a year ago saying if i'm on the other side, you know who the person i agree with the person i respect on the other side? bernie sanders. and it's the same thing. we are so tired with the system, the game playing on both sides? the democrats are saying, i'm for socialism, you aren't giving us the real socialism. you're playing this game.
7:09 pm
let's go for it. that's what they're doing. >> and the same thing over here. i have a problem with mr. trump's character and the things he has done. he's good in promoting donald trump. however -- >> he's good at that. by the way, he's not humble. >> i also think that's an important trait to have. one of the things that bothers me about barack obama is his lack of humility. but here's my -- this is what i would recommend to you. maybe we can settle the impasse. because i've interviewed him. asked him about his plan for the economy, asked him about his plan to battle isis. about the problems that some conservatives have with him. and i feel over time, this is my take on him.
7:10 pm
and i think you'll disagree. is that here's a guy that's been successful, loves the country, sees what both of us see. america in decline and he is entering the political. arena for the first time because he seriously wants to make the country a better place and he thinks these people in washington are dumb and stupid and competent and ambitious. >> what part do you think i disagree with? >> interview him. bring him on the program. >> we've invited him on the radio show and i have no problem interviewing him. i just don't -- my problem is i don't think he's a guy that has a bad. has bad intent for the nation. he's not barack obama. he sees the nation the way you and i might see the nation. but that doesn't necessarily mean i agree with his way of getting there. i've not heard mr. trump really
7:11 pm
talk about the constitution. and when you say things like, you know what, that's what we've got to do. no, no, no. we respect the constitution first. where are you on the constitution? >> i've never heard him suggest anything i thought was unconstitutional. >> taking wealth away. just seizing wealth out of bank accounts is absolutely. >> and i asked him about that. he said it was a dumb idea. that he would've coupled with a balanced budget amendment that, again, he made it as a businessman. maybe i'm giving him more credit for the fact that the things he said as a businessman and somebody appealing to both sides for business reasons. >> here's the great thing. we're not going to solve this. mr. trump is going to play out. and the great thing is -- >> 5 1/2 -- >> he causes a crowd, people will listen to him and they'll judge. what happens, he is in control of his own destiny. there's no press person that's
7:12 pm
going to hurt donald trump. >> i've got to take a break. more of glenn beck after the break and more tonight. what if they have no place to go? >> we will work with them. they have to go. chuck, we have a country or we don't have a country. >> donald trump does lay out his immigration plan, but not everyone's happy about it. we'll explain what he's proposing and jorge ramos is here with reaction. that as "hannity" continues. you owned your car for four years. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him.
7:13 pm
you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends. three jobs. you're like "nothing can replace brad!" then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. it's a good looking car. ? this is the model rear end event. the model year end sales event. it's year end!
7:14 pm
it's the rear end event. year end, rear end, check it out. talk about turbocharging my engine. you're gorgeous. what kind of car do you like? new, or many miles on it? get a $1000 volkswagen reward card on select 2015 passat models. or lease a 2015 passat limited edition for $189 a month after a $1000 bonus. live from america's news headquarters. good evening, no respite in sight for firefighters out west. you can see why. mandatory evacuation orders remain in effect tonight for more than 2,700 people in central washington state. a rash of wildfires still
7:15 pm
threatening the resort area. and some 75 homes and businesses have already been burned. another fire in northern california has been burning for more than a week. this one has destroyed nine homes so far. officials are preparing to deploy military troops to help stop the infernos. authorities in bangkok don't know who set off a bomb that killed at least 22 people and injured more than 100. went off in a region that is home to luxury hotels and upscale shopping malls. thailand is no stranger to violent attacks. that's a look at news this hour, now back to more on fox news. welcome back to "hannity," and it is about islam exposing the truth about isis, al qaeda, iran and the caliphate. founder of "the blaze," former colleague glenn beck is back with us. the only thing i could say to people. i didn't expect to get so long winded. i'm a talk show host, maybe that
7:16 pm
is one of the reasons i did. but i tried to answer your question. because -- >> you did. >> it was -- >> you did a great job. you were very eloquent and very kind about it. >> you were, well, because you asked for a thoughtful answer. and -- >> and you gave it. >> and i tried to give you an answer. i don't think we're going to agree. you can go to glenn's website, my website and you can see the exchange. >> do us both a favor. >> sure. >> not you. people do both of us a favor and remain civil. why can't we have a civil discourse? i mean, i ask questions, he asked questions of me, and it was civil and we're friends and we got to be able to, as a country, pull together and be decent to one another and not say you're the enemy, you're the traitor. it's ridiculous. >> you know, i think that's good advice. people's emotions run high. and one of the great things about this country is you can say whatever you want about a public figure. and we have to take it because
7:17 pm
we're in the business. and if you can't handle it, you probably don't belong here. >> true. >> you feel the same way i do. i think america's on the precipice. i think we can become greece. i think without america on the world stage leading, i think the world's in trouble. i worry about this iranian deal. i worry about the geopolitical ambitions of putin and the chinese. i worry about our deteriorating relationship with israel. so these are important questions we're going to examine in the next 5 1/2 months. >> yeah. >> if we don't get a good candidate, i'm not sure we recover. agree or disagree? >> i think -- i -- i think that, you know, in the coming 24 months, we're going to see dramatic changes in the world. i think we are, gosh, to be real honest with you. and i know you're a religious man. i think we are rejecting god so
7:18 pm
whole heartedly right now that i don't know he can protect us anymore. when somebody hands a petri dish and it's full of baby parts and they're like, oh, look, it's a boy. and we don't respond. i mean, a lot of people have responded. but imagine that 25 years ago, this country would've gone crazy. when we turn our eyes, today on my show, i played video of a woman testifying in parliament against isis. and she was crying and pleading and saying, please, i am asking you as a human being, please know what's happening to our women. the front page of the "new york times" two days ago about how the city women, thousands of them, have been taken and they're used as rape devices. and these isis members, because it is about islam, are taking the koran, reading it, showing these 10-year-old girls, this is
7:19 pm
where it says in the koran that i can do this to you. then they kneel down, pray, violently rape them and then pray again. it's crazy. >> let me ask you about the book, i just started reading it this weekend. you sent me an early copy. >> yeah. >> are we -- is this radical islam? is this the equivalent of modern day naziism? i would suggest it is. i would argue coupled with weapons of mass destruction equals a modern day holocaust. >> no, this is -- this was planted in the book we talk about the roots that came also from germany. but this is -- this is the nazis times ten. they have learned from the nazis. this is -- if we can't call it by its name and, actually point out what they say. i mean, the thing about this book is, this isn't my opinion.
7:20 pm
in fact, this is -- this will tell you something. you know how many people it takes to do a book and how many researchers. under my name, there's always like four people underneath here that help me write the book and this is the only one. everyone involved said, i don't want my name. don't put me name on this. and this isn't an opinion book. we went to the koran, we went to the -- over to the scholars in the middle east, say, do we have this understanding right? and we asked them, what does this mean? does this give you permission to maim, kill, throw acid on, rape, sell into slavery? yes, it does. so it's time to stop saying that this isn't about islam. isis is uber islamic. uber islamic. and it's time it's said otherwise we perish. >> well said. glenn beck, good to have you. thank you for being with us. >> thank you very much. >> jorge ramos.
7:21 pm
it's an interview you don't want to miss. later, patrick j. buchanan is here to explain why the republican party is over if they don't make room for donald trump and his supporters. can an insurgent win this year? we'll ask him. and more bad news for hillary. the number of classified e-mails passed through her server is now in the hundreds. we'll explain. and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? with cialis for daily use, you don't have to plan around either. it's the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right. plus cialis treats the frustrating urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours.
7:22 pm
if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or any symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. why pause the moment? ask your doctor about cialis for daily use. for a free 30-tablet trial go to cialis.com have you ever thought, "i could never do that"? have you ever thought... you just didn't have anything left in the tank? well - you do. because the courage is already inside. bill's got a very tough 13lie here...... looks like we have some sort of sea monster in the water hazard here. i believe that's a "kraken", bruce. it looks like he's going to go with a nine iron.
7:23 pm
that may not be enough club... well he's definitely going to lose a stroke on this hole. if you're a golf commentator, you whisper. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. this golf course is electric... mexico is doing very well. >> it's not doing great. >> okay. let's see. they have the money. they will pay for the wealth. they're sending drugs, and they're taking money out. >> yeah. >> they're making a lot of money. mexico's making a lot of money. and i'm a big fan of mexico. i'm a huge fan of the mexican people. i have thousands of mexican people working for me right now and have over the years. but they have to pay for the wealth. and we need the wealth. >> that was donald trump talking about his brand new plan to tackle america's immigration problem in addition to making mexico pay for the border wall, trump's multiple page
7:24 pm
proposition, includes tripling the number of i.c.e. officers, creating enhanced penalties for immigrants who overstay the visas, making the deportation of all criminal aliens mandatory and ending birthright citizenship. joinings now with reaction is news anchor for fusion and univision, jorge ramos is back with us. how are you? >> fine. thank you for inviting me again. >> if you come from central america, they put you in jail or send you out. australia, sends you you have the country. anything that you disagree with in his policy? anything that's unfair in your view? >> well, everything about donald trump's immigration plan is wrong. he cannot deport 11 million people. that's not doable. >> sure. >> he wants to get in the business. >> by the way, you say it's not doable. >> is that -- it is completely absurd to build a wall when about 40% of all -- so it is really impossible to do.
7:25 pm
might play well in the polls, might help him in new hampshire. but simply's not going to work. >> we're a nation of laws. people have entered this coun y country, many of them, there are 642,000 crimes committed in texas. and i sat through the security briefing with governor rick perry. 642,000 crimes, including nearly 3,000 murders by illegal immigrants against texas residents since 2008. so, we have a problem. and many people might want a job or a better opportunity for their family, but they've got to come legally. and those that bring drugs into the country, and those that -- even isis then, if people can come over, so can isis. why don't you join with the rest of the country and say it is imperative that we as a nation have an obligation to secure our border. >> so why don't you join with the majority of americans who believe that we need comprehensive immigration reform. going to start coming to this country because there are
7:26 pm
thousands of american companies who hire them, and because there are millions of americans, including you and me who benefit from their work. and the idea that immigrants tend to be more criminals than the rest of the population is completely -- >> i did not say that. >> likely to be criminals and those born in the united states. those are according to american immigration council and the other one, immigrants have lower crime rates than the native born population according to the policy center. in other words, the concept, the argument that the vast majority of criminals -- >> never made that argument. >> it's absolutely wrong. >> giving you the numbers given to me -- wait a minute. >> many people argue that -- >> that's not what i argue. >> why we should not have immigration. >> we have 93 million americans out of the labor force, 50 million americans in poverty, 46 million americans on food stamps. now, i understand that the people of mexico and el salvador
7:27 pm
and central america want the american dream. i'm all for an immigration system. but they've got to do it legally. they've got to respect hour sovereignty. they've got to respect american law. that ought to be a prerequisite before anybody gets into the country. and you're defending illegal activity by people -- >> every time an immigrant comes to you, there's an american also committing a crime by hiring them. and we all benefit. we have to understand that. >> i don't know what you mean -- >> responsible for that. >> they're driving down wages? creating more competition for labor in this country? >> it's an economic process. the fact that they're coming here, it is not simply because they are criminals and want to come to this country. they're coming here because there are jobs for them and we need them -- >> no -- >> criminals coming, too. >> there are a lot of people that want jobs. >> of course they do. >> a lot of people also commit crimes here, a lot of human smuggling going on. it's become a great danger to mexican citizens that are hiring these coyotes. >> the vast majority -- this is
7:28 pm
very important. because mr. trump is saying something completely different. the vast majority of immigrants in this country are not criminals and are not rapists. they are contributing to the economy of this country. the congressional budget office recently when they were considering legalizing 11 million undocumented immigrants. they say in the first ten years, immigrants would contribute more than $700 billion to the u.s. economy. do you want that? >> of course. hang on. you want to ask the question? >> wait a minute, i'll answer your question. >> please go ahead. >> we have 93 million americans out of the labor force, 50 million in poverty. i would prefer that we get american citizens' jobs first and then we go about the business of reforming our immigration system. but the people we should allow in should not be the people -- >> immigrants are not taking -- >> that didn't respect our laws. you don't believe in the rule of law. you don't care about people who
7:29 pm
don't respect our laws. >> i do believe in the rule of law, but we have to recognize that the fact that they are here it's because there are thousands of american companies hiring them. and there are americans also breaking the law. >> i'll concede your point. >> you cannot deport them all. >> why not? >> what you have to do is have immigration reform. comprehensive immigration -- you cannot deport 11 million undocumented immigrants. >> the first thing i would do. the first thing -- >> to bring the army or are you going to be in the business of deporting babies? which is -- >> it's a very emotional argument. >> but wait a minute, jorge, that is what mexico does. that is what australia does. that is what a lot of countries do. america's the only dumb country that leaves its borders wide open and it has transformed our economy. >> let me finish, illegal immigrants -- >> it's a great country. >> you say all men are created equal. that's the whole point. >> all men are created equal.
7:30 pm
we're a nation of laws. the amount of money border states have had to pay for our criminal justice system, our health care system, our educational system, to take care of those people that did not respect our laws in sovereignty that you are defending this law breaking is ans a astronomical and in the billions. >> a lot -- billions of dollars in economic profit. >> but a lot of people don't pay taxes because they're not in the -- >> they do pay taxes. >> many of them are paying taxes. >> not citizens. >> and they simply can benefit -- let me go back to one point you made. are you serious where you're talking about deporting 11 million? >> i'm saying -- >> can you imagine? >> here's my argument. >> human rights violations that would create? is that possible? >> going to separate families, are you going to go to the hospitals and take the babies
7:31 pm
and then -- >> i understand your emotional argument. but i will tell you this, i'm for the rule of law. and the people that didn't respect our laws -- can i finish? >> let's create a rule of law -- >> i'll finish my thought. didn't respect our laws. >> proposing, it isn't going to work. it isn't. >> okay. you support rewarding the law breaking of those people. >> no, of course i do not. >> sure you do. if they get to stay, law breaking. >> you want the rule of law and at the same time the american immigration system is so broken that everyone is breaking the law in this country and we have to recognize that. >> what about these so-called -- >> in order to react to that, we have to go ahead with comprehensive immigration reform. >> you keep repeating it. there's another way. we can build a wall. we can stop illegal immigration.
7:32 pm
and give the highly coveted positions we have in this country available to those people that have the most to contribute and those that respect our laws and sovereignty. there's another alternative. there's plenty of alternatives, and i've got to tell you something, the american taxpayers have paid billions and billions to bear the burden of cost for illegal immigrants. and you don't care about taking their money as people have. >> of course i do. i talk with immigrants every single day. but the idea, what you just proposed, building a wall. >> that's right. a wall. >> it doesn't make any sense. >> plenty of sense. >> you're going to do it right at the border with mexico. how about the 5,000 miles between? >> i would do it up there, too. i would do it up there, too. >> seems to be with -- >> that's where the bigger problem is. you can do it up there. >> 2,000 miles. >> i would take the 93 million american -- be a labor force and hire them first. >> and then, what a waste of money and time.
7:33 pm
he's a businessman. >> if we stop. if we stop -- >> wait a minute. no, no, no. if we stop -- >> so it doesn't matter how long and howal the wall is going to be. >> you're wrong. you're wrong. >> so -- >> a wall is not a solution. >> let me give another number. >> i don't have enough time. i don't have enough time. >> we'll bring you back, jorge. >> more chinese immigrants are coming than mexicans. coming up next, patrick j. buchanan. he says the republican party is over if they don't have room for donald trump and his supporters. pat is here to explain what that means. also, can an insurgent win? also, hundreds of classified e-mails may have passed through hillary clinton's server, but the democratic front runner is making jokes about it? >> i love it. i love it. those messages disappear all by themselves. >> she may have a bigger legal problem than she thinks.

♪ welcome back to "hannity." so despite rising poll numbers, donald trump continues to come under attack the from mainstream republicans. in a recent column, call for purge of trump. fired back at the elite and establishment stating that if trump continues to be unwelcome within the gop, perhaps the party has reached its end. here for the discussion is the author of the greatest comeback patrick j. buchanan. sir, i agree with you, pat. you know, there is an effort. i understand people want to defeat him, they support other candidates, but this is behind the scenes from everything i could see. it's now becoming vitriolic. what mistakes are they making? >> if donald trump is going to be knocked down in this race, let the voters do it.

the idea he should be excommunicated from the party and the people who support him are zenaphobes. what are they talking about? the new republican parties. they're talking about ronald reagan's democrats, all these folks, we're going to need in the conservative/republican party. if you're going to win that election in november. what happened to the party of inclusion? >> you know, it's a good point. and seems that people forget that reagan put together a coalition of conservatives. he was hated by the establishment. he took on a sitting president, gerald ford, people seem to forget in 1976 and nearly beat him. >> sure, and he was attacked and people said he's outside the pail. but both he and richard nixon only because they got tremendous numbers of working class, democrats south and north and independents, they won 49 state landslides, 61% victories. the republican party, sean, has one of the best chances, i

thought it would ever get again of winning this presidency, what with hillary clinton who ought to have incidentally, ought to have her security clearance removed. but with her and all her problems with the server, we got a golden chance to win this presidency. and why you starting to exclude people? >> you know, if you look at the latest fox poll, there are three candidates with double digits. donald trump, ben carson and senator ted cruz. how do you interpret that? the year of the insurgent. is the base telling the republican party we're unhappy with your timidity and your lack of resolve and broken promises in d.c.? that's how i interpret it. >> i think what the base of the republican party and a lot of independents and conservatives are saying is, look, we're all through with the regular republicans. they've talked to us in and out, they've lied to us. they never do what they say they're going to do. we're ready to give this guy a chance, this donald trump a chance, these other outsiders because they are fresh. they haven't been corrupted by the system. and i think that's what they're
7:42 pm
saying. and quite frankly, that's an enormous part of the republican coalition going into the primaries. let me say this. given those numbers at fox news, i've seen if the elections began today instead of five months from now, i think trump would win iowa. i think he would carry that victory into new hampshire. i think he would be the favorite in the run against the establishment candidate for the nomination. and he might even have a chance to win the presidency if he gets rid of some of these negatives. >> you know, it's interesting, because the most recent broken promise was obama's executive amnesty. and that was just in 2014. and conservatives like me and, i think, i'll put you in this category. we're fed up. they know the right thing to say. but then they never want to follow through because they're timid and afraid they'll be blamed for government shutdown. so let me follow that thought yours. can trump become the president of the united states? can he win? can ted cruz win? can ben carson win? can any of these insurgents win? >> right now, you would have to say the odds are against you.
7:43 pm
but let me say this, what donald trump has done. you mentioned the republicans and what they did getting in bed with obama. look, they came back to washington after a victory saying we're going to stand up to him. and they provide all the votes for -- to give away their right to amend trade treaties and then they say, you know, we'll bring it back and just take it up or down vote. if trump knows who is an economic patriot and economic nationalist, he knows these trade deals have denoted our country of factories and jobs. just last week, the chinese were devalued by 3%. i think what trump would do, stick a 3% tariff on all their products to counteract that and say, stop what you're doing or you're going to get more. and this basically is what's needed. when you've lost all your jobs and factories, what does it take to wake the republican party up to the free trade hasn't worked? >> pat buchanan, good to see you.

♪ welcome back to "hannity." the scandal swirling around hillary clinton's private server is not going away anytime soon. there may be far more e-mails with classified info than previously thought. but the democratic front-runner took an opportunity to crack a joke about the ongoing scandal. watch this. >> you may have seen that i recently launched a snapchat account. i love it. i love it. those messages disappear all by themselves. >> our own ed henry standing by in washington with the very latest. ed? >> state department officials
7:50 pm
revealed today they flagged 305 of hillary clinton's e-mails that may contain classified data. the court papers stating this new number is based on the state department reviewing just 20% of clinton's 30,000 official e-mails. so they could be far more found when they go through the rest of the e-mail. all of this despite the original claim there was absolutely no classified information on her server. . and as the candidate over the weekend tried to laugh off the fbi investigation with the snapchat joke, which is leaving a famous investigative reporter who helped uncover watergate to say he sees who unveiled parallels between richard nixon and hillary clinton. >> nixon would say everything was fine and he didn't remember the bad stuff. that is human nature. and 60,000 e-mails? my god. >> reporter: clinton continues

to push for her version, saying there was no classified markings on the e-mails. clinton this weekend repeatedly tried to portray this as attacks over benghazi but a representative from the house select committee fired back that clinton is lashing out because her numbers are dropping. the fox poll shows bernie sanders continues to gain ground. sanders climbed another eight points to 30%. vice president biden is waiting in the wings and might still get in. >> all right. fox news legal analyst mercedes cohen is with us. all right. david petraeus, she's joking about it.

bad idea? >> unbelievable. let's get serious about this. you've got classified information, proof of the violation. the fact she deleted her server. >> obstruction of justice, it's interesting. over the weekend, in the "wall street journal," it was said the highest step in the offending step in the penalty is 20 years maximum. >> it could be that high. >> but our justice department is politicized. is she going to prosecute hillary clinton? >> we knew she had this private server but no one has done anything. now, she's done it quote, unquote voluntarily. >> let me put up on the screen

of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both. that really mattered to me. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept that i'm not as fast, but i'm still going for my personal best... and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke... plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor... if eliquis is right for you. ♪
