with 16%. ted cruz in close third at 15%. we have a lot to get to. welcome to the stage, the presidential front-runner for 2016 an enthe gop, donald trump. >> how are you? >> all right, mr. trump. if you shake every hand -- >> hi, everybody. hi, everybody. >> can i take a selfie with you? >> you got it. >> you're the best. >> welcome, welcome. >> thank you. wow, what a nice group. come on. >> you have a selfie, too? >> how are you? >> nice to see you, sir. >> hello, sean. >> good to see you, mr. trump. welcome donald trump. >> wow. nice group. >> 49%. >> that's big. that's a big number. >> did you watch --

>> made me very happy. i hear it for the first time. >> you know it's funny. i was batwatching some of the coverage. some pundits are so dumb. if that person leaves and every one of them give it to them and donald trump may lose. >> heard it many times. in front, from some of the folks on fox i must say. >> oh boy. >> 60% of the people. i'm going to get a lot of them as they leave. they don't say that. 49%. that's pretty good, right? [ applause ] with people still in the race. very happy with that. thank you. >> looking at the polls, only state you are behind in tomorrow is texas. >> little bit. >> so what does that mean? >> i think we have a good chance in texas. we are ahead in every state. very interesting, if you look at south carolina, we were supposed to lose that. and we won in a landslide. supposed to lose nevada an we won in a land slide and new hampshire so great right from

the beginning. i don't know. we'll did well. we'll see what happens. >> it was a pretty brutal weekend. if you believe some of the 0 poe innocents, a member of the mob. >> that was a new one. my sister said, really? >> she didn't know that? that you have hired illegal immigrants, cheated on the taxes. seems like it's nasty. >> it is. nasty. rubio's a nasty guy. i call him a lightweight. he's a nasty guy. and if you listen to him, isn't he a nasty person? [ applause ] >> he said 6'2" or 3 and i'm 6'2" and got small hands. i said -- my hands aren't -- are they small? i never heard of that one. yeah. he is nasty. i think he is desperate. and cruz, you know, look. i know he's a friend of yours and doesn't -- he's not exactly truthful and doing so well with evangelicals. he has a hard time telling the truth. the combination of -- i used to

think that cruz was nasty. untruthful and nasty. he's more untruthful. cruz is smarter of the two. he's the smarter of the two. and it will be very interesting to see what happens. >> there's a chance tomorrow night we will know after all the results are tallied that the only two people that will have won states and you would have won the majority is you and ted cruz. >> yeah. >> what does that mean for the other candidates? >> tough for them. >> bye-bye. >> she got it right. >> what did you say? >> bye-bye. >> it is tough. we'll see what happens. >> with has hard as you have been on the others, how tough -- i'm sure they want to know. how tough would you be with her? >> i find it hard to believe she's allowed to run. what she has done is so criminal, i don't understand.

you see bernie is fading. took a big, big beating in south carolina. interesting about south carolina. party is getting bigger. i'm just talking to the people in the party. they're confused. top people and senators. a lot of them know me. i'm in politics for a listening time. >> seven month's i no, no. but i don't mean that. behind the scenes. i used to be establishment. write big checks all the time. i was anti-establishment and not taking money and i'm a self funder. doing my own funding which -- i'm going my own. i don't need a big, big portion of people to make the living off politics. i'm working for you in the true sense. we'll make great deals for our country.

it's possibly worse and political campaign contributions and the lobbyists and the special interests control everything. with me, there are no lobbyists or special interests. i do what's right. if we have to -- right? sean, if we have to bid out pharmaceuticals, we are going. saving billions and billions and billions of dollars. we have no bidding on drugs. you know, we're the largest drug purchaser in the world by far. we don't competitively bid. we would save billions. it's simple. the drug companies have all the senators and all the -- everybody's paid off. >> i know a guy that runs a medical practice and people join in wichita, kansas. buy drugs in mass directly from the pharmaceuticals at discounted rates and pay next to nothing. >> the government pays much more. >> tn times. crazy, right? >> honestly, very sad.

>> the establishment seems panicked. you are watching here? i just clipped these head loons. divisions in gop over trump growing. it's time for an anti-trump mantd project. karl rove, time's running out to stop trump. can donald trump be stopped? gop leaders -- you must do everything in your power to stop trump. and then stories out there, mr. trump. millionaires and billionaires are talking about pooling their money and if rubio doesn't win in super tuesday and florida, throwing another candidate at you. maybe mitt romney. what is your -- >> they've tried that before. hey look. mitt romney's a nice guy but he tried and he failed and he should have won that race. and he went away for a month and a half. the last six weeks, you know it. you told me you could -- you're a friendly person. okay? perfect for mitt romney. he should have been on your show every night. you told me four years ago you could not get him to do your show. wasn't available.

>> worse than that. the night of the third debate i used every expletive used screaming at the campaign. how would you let him debate that sfwha totally let down the guard. lost the election that night. i knew that. >> the third debate was a total disaster. >> what bothers me about this, sounds like some people, see your success. you are leading in the polls going into tomorrow that they're going to pout, pick up the toys and support hillary. that angers me as a conservative saying, wait a minute. we have been asked to support bob dole and john mccain. they weren't conservative. >> we know sports very well. i know the boxing world very well and had so many boxers and so many matches. when they go in, a champion into the unfriendly territory getting a bigger purse and some other guy's hometown and an unfriendly judge and you know the expression? knock him out. nobody can judge against you. we don't have to worry about conventions or anything else if

i get enough delegates. now, now, what was interesting, because i'm not a fan of karl rove. i think he's terrible. if i win new hampshire by a land slide, nevada by a landslide, we killed everybody as you know including we won the evangelicals, everything, in south carolina, so incredible, i'm watching this guy. almost like -- i jokingly called up a friend of yours at fox. i said, gee, i'm watching fox. do you think i won? won by a landslide. >> you weren't watching my show. >> yours is great. i called up karl rove. just a friend. i'm watching karl rove. he says, donald trump needs 300 points. i said, that sounds reasonable. a friend said that's impossible. here's what's going to happen. 240 or 250 or 260 and everybody thrilled at, he'll say, donald trump had a bad night. somebody said it's impossible for 300. look, you got some bad people on fox and great people and bad people. and you're going to have --

>> wait a minute. in all fairness, have you watched msnbc? they suck. >> they do treat me well. and i have to tell you. i have great respect for fox. >> i know you do. >> and you and o'reilly and he treats me a little bit rough and greta. >> neil cavuto. >> stephen hays shouldn't be on. karl rove still thinks romney won. they had to pull him off the air. the election ended about four hours ago. i'm telling you, romney won. he shouldn't be on the air. >> let's go back to hillary for a second. hillary clinton said, this is a quote, donald trump saying america's not great again. we don't have to make america great. america is already great. tell it to the 95 million americans out of the labor force, 50 million in poverty and the 46% on food stamps. aren't they suffering? i think they're suffering. >> so she came out with a very

strong statement. her whole theme and you have lot of hats out there saying it, make america great again. that's a positive statement, not a negative. some people say it's negative. it's totally positive and more positive than when i first came up with it, frankly. i have traveled all over. i mean, i was today in -- i'm going to georgia. all over the place. >> alabama yesterday. >> i was in alabama. we had 35,000 people in alabama. it was the most incredible crowd. biggest crowd of the season. for anybody. far bigger than the bernie crowds. i mean, frankly, getting 60,000 and 70,000 to take a stadium. i don't know if it's necessary. we went t and going to do greater. it's closer one in arkansas but every place we go, we have something special. i'm so impressed with the people of this country. we have unbelievable people. like these people. but we have -- no matter where we go, whether we go to dallas, i went to dallas. mark cuban gave us the arena. no nice.

where the mavericks. 21,000 people. packed up in three days and like a love fest. a friend of mine said, how do you do that and without notes? i said there's so much love in the room it's easy to do. >> we'll take a break and come back. more with 2016 republican presidential front-runner donald trump as "hannity" continues from georgia. stay with us.

have gone through a big problem. you understand that. he threw out that word. it was so disgusting. looking at what he was doing, he was indignant that somebody told him -- he's not even the president anymore. but that somebody would tell mexico that you have to start coming along. i get along with mexicans and everything to do with mexico but they have ripped off our country so badly and china and india and japan and vietnam and any other country that you want to talk about. we'll make such great deals. we are going to change those deals. rip those deals up and real trade deals done by carl icahn and smart people in business. >> i've been down to the border for the fox news channel and from the rio grande to san diego. i was in a drug warehouse bigger than this. an office building in san diego, a tunnel from mexico. i was hon horseback, boats,

helicopters. so dangerous. 600,000 crimes in texas alone. why don't people ever tell that side of the story? >> we'll have a real border, build a wall and going to be a serious wall. and it's going to be -- just remember that. you remember i said it. remember this also. mexico, saun, will pay for the wall. these politicians come up. you don't mean mexico's going to pay. i have done unbelievable deals. talk about this deal, that deal. i have done hundreds of deals. no one wants to talk about the great deals. unbelievable -- i filed my financials with the -- nobody believes how good they are. the federal elections. and, you know, i'm very proud of it. you can have -- we will have mexico pay for that wall. and you know what? if i'm wrong about this, you can all come back, another meeting and apologize to you. okay? mexico, a serious, real wall. not a wall they climb up and you see what they do.

over. >> "the new york times" claiming today that they had an off the record conversation with you in january. and now leaking it. typical immediate why. >> most dishonest media group and failing. i call it failing "the new york times." it's dying. we had a board meeting. off the record. they leak it all the over the place. >> it's negotiable on the law. >> everything is negotiable. things are negotiable. i'll make it two feet shorter or something. >> it's not negotiable about building it. >> no. not negotiable. >> not negotiable about -- would it be negotiable about the 11 million, maybe let some people stay if they register in a period of time? >> look. i have always said we have good people over here an they're going to go out but we will work out some system that's fair and we have a country or we don't. we need a border. we need a wall. we need a wall. i won new hampshire. they have a tremendous heroin problem. i promised the people of new hampshire we'll stop that person from coming in.

very hard thing to kick. they have tremendous -- we'll work on the people that have the habit already and try and get them better. we got to try to get them better. >> it's bad. >> of all the places, new hampshire. first question all the time, heroin problem, comes over the southern border. not going to happen anymore. but there's always going to be some negotiate. whether it's 50 feet tall or 40 feet tall and one of the things, a reporter said to me, well, what happens, you know, fox made this statement, how do you respond? it was an arrogant, terrible, horrible statement. and i said, here's how i respond. the wall just got ten feet higher. i meant it. he was incensed. joe biden goes and apologizes. look. mexico's great. and the people are great because i have many, many mexicans that -- >> not on all crazy joe. >> joe biden goes and apologizes for what? we have right now a $58 billion trade deficit with mexico. that's why the wall gets built, by the way.

that's why they're going to pay for it. the wall is going to cost -- listen to this. >> name trump on it? >> only if it's beautiful. the wall, the wall gets built. it's going to cost $10 billion to build it. a lot of money. it's a wall. you know? great wall of china is 13,000 miles long. this is 1,000. of the 2,000. we need 1,000. $10,000 to build it. very terrific wall. losing $58 billion, mexico's making essentially 58 -- 10 is not bad. part of the whole thing. >> part of the trade bill. we have to take a break. more with gop front-runner donald trump as "hannity" continues from valdosta state university in beautiful georgia. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line.

understand where competition is instituted in state lines. >> that's right. >> do you go with health care savings accounts? >> i did. i talked about that. get rid of the lines to have competition. they said, be more specific. the competition is going to make it specific. you will have hundreds of different deals. many people coming in and competing. they're all going to be different. >> buy a plan in georgia? >> you have no competition. when we open it up to competition, you're going to have tremendous -- going to be beautiful. many, many different alternatives. things that you wouldn't know about, things you wouldn't have any idea about right now. >> in other words, the companies that offer the best deal at the best price will get the most -- >> to individual people. and companies. >> so it's a free market system. >> free market system. >> and you did get -- people said, i've never felt as a conservative that people want people to die in the streets. i think we have always taken care of those that need help. >> yeah. >> why did you get criticized if that are? >> i don't understand it. i must tell you.

look. there are going to be people, you say free market, cheaper, obamacare is horrible. you know? premiums going up 45%, 50%. it's a hardship. look, we're republicans. some of you are republicans. doesn't matter if you are in this case. i'm not going to have if i'm president people dying in the street because they can't afford health plan that's much less than obamacare, much less, sean. but it's still going to cost something. you have people that can't afford anything. the people not dying on the sidewalks and the street if i'm president. get them into the hospital. get them in to see doctors. >> the government buys drugs in bulk. >> things will be -- now, most people buy the plan, a much better plan. a lot less. i won't allow people to die on the sidewalks in the street. you know when i make in a speech in front of republicans, i get standing ovations. who wants to let that happen? i won't let it happen. >> for the benefit of time, an issue that came up in the debate, too, the issue of the

palestinian-israeli conflict. >> right i. >> here's israel, 67, 73, offered everything but the moon to get peace with the palestinians. >> right. >> children are indoctrinated to hate israel and jews. how is it ever going to be possible if that's the way -- >> i agree. very tough. very tough. i have had some of the greatest negotiators in the world tell me it's almost impossible. the palestinians are ingrained with hatred toward israel. what i say is i'm pro-israel as you know. i've been, you know -- no. you look. i was the grand marshall of the israeli day parade at a time it was dangerous. they said you have to be crazy to do it. i'm very, very pro-israel. same time i don't want to be so negative on the other side. that would be the ultimate dee. peace of the palestinians and slael israel. >> there's the neighbors of israel hate them. >> terrible, terrible.

ingrained and tough thing and like to give it a shot. >> last question. >> it would be good for everybody to make peace. that would be great. >> great for the world. >> great for the world. >> last question. we have a -- only a minute. isis, radical islam terrorism -- >> knock it out. we'll -- our military is very depleted. we'll build up the military. nobody will mess with us and knock out isis. >> is this a lifelong struggle do you think? >> it certainly seems it. it's a horrible thing. something's going on. what i did with respect to muslims, we don't know. a temporary halt. we have to have a temporary ban. >> how many support that, by the way? in this crowd. do it by clapping. people can't see you. you support a temporary ban until we can vet the people to come in? almost the whole crowd. mr. trump, you have to like 10,000, 20,000 people waiting for you. we appreciate your time.
