developing story throughout the night. >> ed: that's about it for us tonight, tune in each night at nine to the show a clock that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink. sean hannity is next. >> sean: welcome to "hannity," we are coming to you tonight from our nation's capital, tonight, speaker of the house paul ryan and is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu will both join us but first, and a must see epic beat down, president donald trump called out the extremely dishonest propaganda media and that is tonight's opening monologue. so, last night we explained in great, great detail about how the abusively biased left-wing press is doing you, the american people such a great disservice by not telling you the truth, by having an agenda and in turn, they have created what i called last night a massive informational crisis.

today after endless attacks from the alt left propaganda media, president trump's now fighting back and setting the record straight. >> i making this directly to the american people, it is an honor to have you. many of our nations reporters and folks will not tell you the truth. and will not treat the wonderful people of our country with the respect they deserve, the press has become so dishonest that if we do not talk about it, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the american people. a tremendous disservice, we have to talk about it. because the press honestly is out of control. the level of dishonesty is out of control. i will tell you something, i will be honest because i sort of enjoy this enjoy this back-and-forth and i guess i have all my life but i've never seen more dishonest media then frankly of the political media.

i thought the financial media was much more honest. there is nobody i have more respect for -- maybe a little -- and good reporters. it is very important to me. especially in this position. it's very important. i do not mind bad stories. i can handle a bad story better than anybody. as long as it is true. over a course of time i will make mistakes, and i am okay with that. i am not okay when it is fake. i think it should be straight, i think it would be frankly more interesting. i know how good everybody's ratings are but i think they would actually be better. you have a lower approval rating there in congress, i think that is right. is that one right? i heard, lower than congress. the public -- they read newspapers and see television. they do not know if it is true or false because they are not involved. i am involved, i have been

involved with the stuff on my life. i know when you are telling the truth and when you are not. i just see many, many untruthful things. i see tone -- you know, the word tone. the tone, such hatred. i'm really not a bad person, by the way. the tone -- i do get good ratings, you have to admit that. the tone is such hatred. >> ed: >> sean: he did not stop there, he talked about the massive mess he is inherited and what he's doing to fix it. >> i inherited a mess. it is a mess. at home and abroad. a mess. jobs are pouring out of the country, you see what is going on with all of the companies leaving our country and going to mexico and other places. low pay, low wages, mass instability overseas. no matter where you look, the middle east is a disaster.

north korea, we will take care of it, i just wanted to let you know. i inherited a mess. we began repairing and repealing obamacare, it is a disaster for us. jobs have already started to surge since my election, ford announced it will abandon its plans to build a new factory in mexico and will instead invest $700 million in michigan, creating many, many jobs. one more thing, i have kept my promise to the american people by nominating a justice of the united states supreme court, judge neil gorsuch. >> sean: speaking about michael flynn's resignation and the leaks coming from the bureaucracy. the big problem. >> mike flynn is a fine person. i asked for his resignation, he respectfully gave it.

he is a man who -- there is a certain amount of information given to the vice president, mike pence who is here today. i was not happy with the way that information was given. he did not have to do that because what he did wasn't wrong, what he did in terms of the information he saw, what was wrong was the way that other people -- including yourselves in this room were given the information. because i was classified information, it was given illegally. that was a real problem. you can talk all you want about russia, which was all fake news, a fabricated deal to try to make up for the loss of the democrats. the press plays right into it. how did they get this information that is classified? it is an illegal process and the press should be ashamed of themselves. more importantly, the people they gave out the information to the press should be ashamed of

themselves. >> sean: president trump also addressed russia after fake new news, she insinuated that he may have direct ties to the country. >> the failing "new york times" wrote a big piece, it was very much discredited as you know. it is a joke. the people mentioned this story, i noticed they were on television today saying they never even spoke to russia. the three people that they talked about, all totally deny it and i can tell you, speaking for myself -- i own nothing in russia. i have no loans in russia. i do not have any deals in russia. president putin called me up very nicely to congratulate me on the win of the election, he then called me up extremely nicely to congratulate me on the inauguration, which was terrific. so did many other leaders, almost all of the leaders from almost all other countries.

russia is fake news. this is fake news put out by the media. the whole russian thing, that is a ruse. that is a ruse. by the way, it would be great if we could get along with russia. just to understand that. hillary clinton did a reset with that stupid plastic button that made us all look like a bunch of jerks, he looked at her like what what what the is she doin? she's had a lot of presidents, look where we are now. >> sean: finally, while his temporary travel ban is being held up by the most liberal court in the country, the ninth circuit court of appeals, senate president made a very big news about issuing a new executive order about keeping you, the american people, safe. >> we will be issuing a new and very comprehensive order to protect our people.

that will be done sometimes toward the next week. as far as the new order it will be very much tailored to what i considered to be a very bad decision but we can tailor the order and get just about everything and in some ways more but we are tailoring it now to the decision. we have some of the best lawyers in the country working on it. the new executive order is being tailored to the decision we got down from the court. >> sean: all i can say is wow. what we saw today was a historic beat down of the alt left propaganda media and they had it coming. we have been showing you example after example of the press purposefully distorting the president's plans and his agenda. it is very refreshing to see commander in chief who will fight back against the dishonesty smears, and set the record straight with you. coming up next, right here on

"hannity" ." >> we've begun preparing to repeal and replace obamacare. obamacare is a disaster. it is a disaster. >> sean: the president spoke about obamacare at today's press conference. when will it be repealed and replaced? early yesterday, right here in d.c., i sat down with paul ryan and asked him that very question. also today, i spoke one-on-one with the israeli prime minister benjamin benjamin netanyahu. stay with us on this busy night on "hannity" ." if you take medication, you may sometimes suffer from a dry mouth. that's why there's biotene. and biotene also comes in a handy spray. so you can moisturize your mouth anytime, anywhere. biotene, for people who suffer

president's plan to repeal and replace obamacare and much more. take a look. >> welcome to the capital. >> sean: this is your ceremonial office? you were the biggest donald trump supporter in the campaign. but the relationship seems to have gotten better. you want to weaken and ineffective to fine wine and a good partner. what if you miss -- do you regret not going in deep before and how do you feel now? >> they decided to go to michigan at the last minute, they thought they had a shot at michigan. they will back michigan. what i did not see and i said that's my press conference, donald trump heard something that nobody else heard. he connected with people in this country unlike everybody i'd ever seen before running for president. remember, i ran for vice president in the last election. i basically thought about the election the way we thought

about 2012. what he did was mix up the constituency, the vote coalition, he spoke to people that felt like they hadn't been spoken to in years. he tapped into that and that is something that most people did not see. that something i said the next day, bravo. very impressed. >> sean: how is the relationship now? >> it's great, really good actually. i didn't know him, he didn't know me. we met basically wants. we speak constantly. we talk all the time, we are working on the same plan. we put together a 200 day plan for the president to get this agenda that we all have agreed on through the system. we are exactly on track and on our timeline without agenda. >> sean: that's the biggest part of what i wanted to discuss. with go through what donald trump has done. he started executive orders, the burden of obamacare.

impending actions to freeze and get rid of 75% of all regulations. withdrew from tpp. had a federal hiring freeze. and money from going to foreign countries for abortion. signed executive action for the decode of pipeline, keystone. the border law, sanctuary citie cities, extreme vetting and we will get to that in a minute. he used executive action to rebuild the military, a plan will be on his desk in seven days to defeat isis, neil gore gorsuch was nominated. bibi netanyahu. he is moving at the speed of light, people have asked me, the top story on the drug report today. where is congress? for eight years, you guys had a plan, he kept saying and promising you will repeal and replace obamacare.

people want to know, when will things get better? >> we are are exactly on the timeline that we set for ourselves. her bill is coming in march. the reason we are doing regulatory reform right now is we have a certain window of time where we can go back into the obama administration and cancel the regulations. it has a's shelflife or just a couple months. we have been consuming, february and march going back into the obama administration and canceling the regulations and so first it is regulatory because we have this window of time to cancel that obama regulations and then we are doing obamacare. after we're done with that, we are doing our budget. our budget -- the second but 'sx reform. this has never been done before. it's faster than it's ever been done before. there is a legislative process. we've all of these things we ran on, we are now in the middle of doing those things and january

and february is the regulatory stuff because the clock on the ability to go after obama regulations ends soon. >> sean: here's the big question, the president ran on an agenda. he said he tapped into something that other people missed. we have 13 million more americans on food stamps, 8 million more on poverty. lowest tone ownership rate, donald trump says he will build a wall, replace obamacare, vet refugees, make america energy independent, seven brackets to three, 15%, allowed repatriatio repatriation, he runs on education back to the states. building up our military, this is the question that i think conservatives and americans -- the forgotten man election, i heard everything from obamacare will be done they daily 1.

it's been all over the map, just from other people. >> it has a bent not been overe map for me. it has on the rumor mills but not for us. that is not the plan. the plan is to repeal and replace the slot like we said. we ran on a plan. tom price helped write that pla plan. >> sean: it's now a consensus plan? here's my question, i just listed my agenda of what he ran on for the forgotten man. >> that's the agenda we are working on right now, that's the definition. >> sean: is there an item that you disagree with? you are saying to the american people and conservatives that are inpatient -- including myself -- and you heard my monologue -- >> sean: getting congress to

act on all those things you just said in just one year's time, unprecedented. we do these things, this will be the most productive presidency and congress in our lifetimes. >> sean: that's my question. you agree with everything i listed? >> yeah. >> sean: building the wall? >> yes. that was in the plan. >> sean: it was supposed to be done in '06. >> the problem we have was that obama was our president. >> sean: more of my sitdown interview with paul ryan and also tonight... >> there has been a tremendous surge of optimism in the business world, which is something much different than what it used to mean. now it means that is good for jobs. >> sean: the president, shaking things up here in washington, d.c., and getting the american people back to work it, we will show you more

highlights from his press conference and also tonight, while in washington i sat down for an interview with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. that is coming up in this edition of "hannity" ." maybe it was all the times it got you safely out there. or all the times it got you out of there. maybe it was the day your baby came home. or maybe the day you realized your baby was not a baby anymore. every subaru is built to earn your trust. because we know what you're trusting us with. subaru. kelley blue book's most trusted brand.

to the states, tax reform will be done in 200 days? >> we are waiting for betsy devos to put back her plan, the education thing might take a little longer. inside the 200 day window is the regulatory reforms, repeal and replace obamacare, the budget, rebuilding of our military, tax reform. and infrastructure, that's what we are working on in these 200 days. we see that as part of regulatory reform. we have already done a lot of energy dependence. the cold regulation that we repealed from the obama era, that is a huge energy independence move because it will bring back thousands of jobs in coal country. we can unlock western europe, you can compete. we can get this with barack obama. now it donald trump, we can permit those things. >> sean: back to the main list. in 200 days you are fairly confident that a budget will be

passed. the wall is in the process of being constructed, we will be working on fixing the d.a., congress will support extreme vetting and that they will move forward with energy independence, repeal and replace obamacare. >> this is a good thing coming of the president that agrees with congress on these things. >> sean: you think that is doable, 200 days? >> we will finish it in the fall and get it done before the end of the year. >> sean: so if i come back in 200 days, you will say, i made a promise... >> we have set this out for 200 days. we are on schedule, we have a plan. if anything slips, or a filibuster on a cabinet nominee. that might slip us but we are making sure we do all of this in 2017. >> sean: let's go to the budget, a big issue. the president, seven brackets to

three. >> its math, it's a math thing. >> sean: multinational corporations, repatriation? >> we have lower in our bills, donald has 10%. it's really close. >> sean: did i make a mistake in my monologue in this sense, you called me after -- >> i heard about your monologue. >> sean: is pretty gracious of you to call me, you said you wanted to explain what we are doing. >> i follow the news every day, i talk to people on my radio show, i am a maniac on twitter, everybody is saying the same thing. what the hell is going on with the republican -- is there a communication problem? you're making me feel better today. for this long term -- to stop

the bleeding, to stop america's precipitous decline, these policies need to be put in place. that is why we are here. >> exactly, that is why donald trump ran for president. he is what we did after this election. we said mr. president-elect, we agree on all these things, we all agree on what we do to save this country. >> sean: then why are we so harsh on them? >> then we said okay, map out our strategy for how to get this done, one to get it done. we all sat for three months and worked out that plan for 2017. that is exactly what we are executing. >> sean: what have you learned about president trump that you did not know before, that surprised you, what you like most about him and what do you disagree with? >> he's warm, personal, compassionate and he likes getting stuff done. we have been waiting for this, i like that about him. conservatives have been pent up

here, fighting the obama administration, the progressive left, he is a conservative and he's ready to take on these challenges. he's so fast, people are scrambling to catch up. i love the fact that he is not in any way about getting big, bold things done. >> sean: what you think about the left of reacting? the russian issue that keeps coming up again and again? >> i think it's just like you say, there is nothing new here. you have to remember that the obama intelligence community under his direction did a huge investigation communitywide about russia's involvement, there is no plan presented to the congress. it was all about russia trying to meddle with our election. we knew this. >> sean: here's my headline out of this interview, you're pretty much in full agreement with what donald trump ran on and never two, 200 days from the

legislative side, you're going to be implementing that agenda. >> we have cushioned in our schedule, if anything slips because of senate issues, we still have time to accommodate all of that stuff in 2017. i have cushions built in the schedule to make sure this all gets done in 2017. in case something happens and go sideways. >> sean: i'm pretty sure that will stimulate the economy, get people back to work, and get the economy moving again. i will see you in 200 days. >> may be before then. >> sean: up next, tonight, right here on "hannity." >> israel has no better ally than the united states. and i want to assure you, the united states has no better ally dan israel. >> sean: yesterday at the white house, the prime minister netanyahu spoke about the

our alliance has been remarkably strong. but under your leadership, i am confident it will get even stronger. >> sean: that was the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu speaking yesterday at the white house. i sat down with the prime minister for an interview right here in d.c. and i asked him about his relationship with the new president, president trump and more. great to see you, mr. prime minister. >> good to see you, sean. >> sean: what i said on television last night was this is history in the making. i thought it was very profound. >> i thought it was a historical meeting. a meeting of the minds and a meeting of the hearts. >> sean: it was interesting to watch the president say what a l is and for you to say there is no better supporter of the jewish people and the state of israel than donald trump. you have known him for how long? >> from the time i was serving as the ambassador to the u.n.

for israel, we would sorta bump into each other here and there, in new york city. we've got to know each other and most recently, obviously. we have always had a great alliance between israel and america. i feel we have now and even stronger alliance, a new day, he called it. maybe a new age. >> sean: i felt there was a cryptic message being sent, i want to read what you said here. for the first time in your life, for the first time in the history of your country, you said that the arab countries, your neighbors in the region do not see israel as an enemy. but as an ally. and then president trump talked about -- or you talked about newfound arab partners and he talked about one state, may be two states that may be a bigger deal, a more important deal. i'm listening, this is my take. you had once said that one of

the benefits of the iran deal is that it brought you and your arab neighbors together. my read on this is that israel now has a stronger relationship with united states, to be a strong relationship with great britain that also jordan, egypt, may be the emirates, maybe saudi arabia, that has never existed before. is that true? >> i think there is a change, change is coming because of the rise of radical islam. radical islamists have the radical sunnis led by isis, before that led by al qaeda and the shiites, led by iran. we look around and say who is going to help us against these twin threats? there's one country in the region that is powerful, resolved to fight this, and

energy. and that is israel. increasingly, the common threat -- in my conversation yesterday with president trump, he sees the things in the same way. that opens up opportunities. no question about it. >> sean: can i get into a little more deeply, what has happened in the interim? you have forged closer alliances. i know you cannot divulge everything but what can you tell us about these particular countries? the saudi's, the egyptians, the jordanians, i've got a believe none of those countries want radical islam in their countries. >> they think iran will cut their throats, and they are right. in the great alliance between israel and the united states, we have had our differences. i have to give credit to

president obama, a level of understanding. support for israel. they also had our differences, the most important difference was on iran. the arab countries sort of whispered things in the dark. they wouldn't say it outright. i sort of say that for everyone in the region. people understand that iran is a malevolent force, the nuclear deal with iran, if it is kept, they essentially said this in the deal -- no bomb today, 100 bombs tomorrow, and ten years. that's what it says. because iran can go -- >> sean: two years ago, you said that, in march of 2015. >> okay, we are kicking the can down the road but this nuclear calendar, a single bomb, the capacity to make dozens and

dozens of bombs. iran does not change its attitude. since the signing of the deal, this is what has happened. iran has become more aggressive. more deadly. sponsoring more terrorists and in fact, with more money. a lot more money. people are saying wait a minute, this roaring tiger, if it's not stopped it will devour all of us. we are all prey, with nuclear missiles, they have. the response of terrorism, it's all over the place. now they are going to deal with intercontinental ballistic missiles that could reach the united states and have the multiple weapons to do that? it's dangerous for america, iran, the arabs. everybody understands it, there's an american president who understands it and we are talking about what to do about

this common threat. >> sean: coming up, part two of my interview with prime minister benjamin netanyahu, the rogue regime in tehran, radical islam, and also tonight... >> we have already begun productive talks with many foreign leaders. to move forward toward stability, security, and peace. >> sean: more highlights from president trump's explosive press conference from earlier today. stay with us. gentle, non-habit forming advil pm. for a healing night's sleep. this is not a screensaver.game.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity," here is more of my interview with the israeli prime minister. this is from earlier today at the white house. iran represents the biggest threat. >> because of what couple radical islam with weapons. there could be evil that is not threatening because it does not have the powers of mass murder. when you couple radical islamic regimes that says death to america with the weapons of mass death, then you have a much, much bigger problem. >> squared, b squared, c squared, weapons of mass destruction equals a modern-day holocaust? >> is up to us to prevent it. >> sean: that's important

issue. the president said that will not happen, he said that yesterday, i am just assuming with the new coalition, it would be very possible. i do not think a lot of people fully understand -- i've watched all these years since the iranian revolution in '79, after all these moments of terror -- we have this whole immigration problem. were so many refugees have gone to europe and parts of europe have culturally shifted dramatically. if you look at countries under sharia law, that the oppress women and kill gays and. explain, how does america and europe based on your experience, how do they ascertain that taking an immigrants and refugees, whether or not isis

will infiltrate the refugee population? how can you bet what is in somebody's heart? >> every country tries to in 1 degree or another do that. i will not get into your considerations in doing so but i will say, i will say this, i'm a great believer in human exchanges, and markets and so on. i think it's very important to be able to prevent the infiltration of terrorists. because terrorism is so disruptive. it doesn't necessarily kill that many people, but their terrorist attack that have killed thousands of people. >> sean: you are one of our strongest allies at the time. >> that was a moment of great tragedy. as the weapons become more

sophisticated, and more deadly, then the threat of terrorism becomes more deadly. therefore, the need to prevent terrorist becomes greater. this applies to all countries today. >> sean: of 1,000-pound balm on a missile that iran currently has, it could reach your country in less than 7 minutes. pretty scary. >> yeah. i have icbms that could go to your country. iran has. henry kissinger said very intelligently, iran is not merely a country. it is much more of a cause, more of a cause than a country. it is global domination by their grand radical islamic beliefs.

it is more than that. they believe that they are destined to govern the world, anyone who does not agree with them, they will kill. they are working on the means to achieve that. their greatest enemy they think is the united states. they think everyone else is a derivative. they are developing the capacity to deliver on their slogans, death to america, we have a grand mission. it is not a mission that we invent. we did not invent these icbms. we did not invent their nuclear programming. we do not invent the terrorists that they send throughout the middle east and the world. iran has a terror network of dozens and dozens of countries. they operate with their own operatives and instruments. >> sean: they have been fighting proxy wars for decades. >> terrorists themselves, they are building, planning,

throughout the world, in asia, africa. europe, india. in this hemisphere as well. >> sean: pretty scary but you know, let me go to a palestinian issue. you said -- the president said one state, two state, may be a new paradigm. and then talked about settlements briefly. it might be helpful not to for now. i do not want to harp on that point so much as i want to ask this. if this coalition can be built, could it solve that problem too? >> it could. this persistent refusal to recognize israel and any boundary is a source of the israeli-palestinian conflict. the palestinians continue to agitate for israel's destruction. they do not care about this territory or this settlement.

jerusalem is a settlement. we have to get rid of everything, that's what they think. some normalization in the arab world could help begin to change attitudes there. even if we did, i think they would have to come and recognize the jewish state. you want peace? the first thing is you have to get rid of the thing that prevents peace. the thing that prevents peace is the persistent refusal to recognize the right of the jewish people for a state of their own. >> sean: it's been preconditioned, they don't recognize it -- >> if you want to end the conflict, that is a prerequisite for peace. >> sean: it's interesting, the prime minister and i spoke off-camera and he was telling me how his wife sarah, the first lady, melania trump, they had a great time and a great relationship. welcome us things have changed a lot. coming up next, tonight on "hannity"... >> we have had productive topics with many foreign leaders to

move forward towards fidelity, and peace. >> sean: also, our important question of the day, straight ahead. for a lot less than you might think. with a certified pre-owned mercedes-benz, you can enjoy legendary safety, innovation and performance at a price you can afford. and that's a pretty sweet dream. visit the certified pre-owned sales event, now through february 28th. only at your authorized dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. withevery late night...g... and moment away... with every click...call...punch... and paycheck... you've earned your medicare. it was a deal that was made long ago, and aarp believes it should be honored. thankfully, president trump does too. "i am going to protect and save your social security

and your medicare. you made a deal a long time ago." now, it's congress' turn. tell them to protect medicare. hi, i'm frank. i take movantik for oic, opioid-induced constipation. had a bad back injury, my doctor prescribed opioids which helped with the chronic pain, but backed me up big-time. tried prunes, laxatives, still constipated... had to talk to my doctor. she said, "how long you been holding this in?" (laughs) that was my movantik moment. my doctor told me that movantik is specifically designed for oic and can help you go more often. don't take movantik if you have a bowel blockage or a history of them. movantik may cause serious side effects, including symptoms of opioid withdrawal, severe stomach pain and/or diarrhea, and tears in the stomach or intestine. tell your doctor about any side effects and about medicines you take. movantik may interact with them causing side effects.

why hold it in? have your movantik moment. talk to your doctor about opioid-induced constipation. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. itbut one i think with quesa simple answer. we have this need to peek over our neighbor's fence. and once we do, we see wonder waiting. every step you take, narrows the influence of narrow minds. bridges continents and brings this world one step closer.

so, the question you asked me. what is the key? it's you. everything in one place, so you can travel the world better.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity." president trump during his press conference spoke about his communication with foreign leaders. let's take a look at this. >> on foreign affairs come up with already begun in or miss the productive talks to move forward toward stability, security, and peace in the most troubled regions of the world, of which there are many. we have had great conversations with the united kingdom and meetings, israel, mexico, japan, china, and canada. really, really productive conversations. i would say far more productive than you would understand. >> sean: all right, that leads us to tonight's conversation from today.

what did you think of the press conference? facebook.com/seanhannity, @seanhannity on twitter. don't forget, set your dvr so you never miss an episode. >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on. tonight... >> president trump: to be honest, i inherited a mess. it's a mess, at home and abroad. a mess. >> bill: president trump extremely blunt in his pressom conference today, lashing out at those leaking classified intelligence and the media. >> i watch cnn, so much anger and hatred. i have to say, "fox & friends"s" in the morning, they are very honorable people. they have the most honest morning show. >> bill: tonight, we will analyze the president's conference with john roberts, ari fleischer, bernie goldberg, and chris wallace. >> did you come
