that's about it for uspd tonigh, tune in each night att 9:00 p.m. to watch the show 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 alt left propaganda media and thatd 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 inca 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. take a look. >> i am making this statement directly to the american people, with the media present, which is an honor to have you. many of our nation's 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 it's doing a tremendous disservice to the american people. a tremendous disservice, we have to talk about it. d 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 thenen 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. m 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. >> sean: he did not stop there, he talked about the massive mess he is inherited and what he's doing to fix it. s >> i inherited a mess. i 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.rt 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.e >> sean: speaking about michael flynn's resignation and the leaks coming from the bureaucracy. about his administration, big problem. take a look. >> mike flynn is a fine person. i asked for his resignation, he respectfully gave it.es he is a man who -- there is a

certain amount of information given to vice president 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 news, the press 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 extremelyel 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 the hell is she doing? i would love to be able to get along with russia. we've 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 sometime toward the next week. as far as the new order it will

it's be very much tailored to what i considered to be a very bad decision but we can tailor the order and get just aboutet everything and in some ways more it's 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 beine tailored to the decision we got down from the court. >> sean: all i can say is wow.he 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. a 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 speaker of the house paul ryan and asked him that very question. also today, i spoke one-on-one with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we will play both interviews. stay with us on this busy night on "hannity." and now, i help people find discounts, like paperless, multi-car, and safe driver, that help them save on their car insurance. any questions? -yeah. -how do you go to the bathroom?

great. any insurance-related questions? -mm-hmm. -do you have a girlfriend? uh, i'm actually focusing on my career right now, saving people nearly $600 when they switch, so... where's your belly button? [ sighs ] i've got to start booking better gigs.

>> live from america's news headquarters, i am jackie bonnie is a new york. president trump's pick to replace michael flynn's national security advisor declines the offer. according to white house official vice admiral robert harward, who work the defense lockheed martin, turned on the offered to do family and financial committee. this is following reports that mike flynn misled reports. the ninth circuit court of appeals suspending future proceedings over president trump's travel ban. the court had been weighing whether to have a larger panel of judges reconsider a ruling against the travel ban on hold.

the court suspended its proceedings after they announce it he is planning to issue a new travel directive next week. i am jackie bonnie is. if you missed his press conference on thursday, we will air at its entirety this mornin morning. now, back to "hannity." >> we've begun preparing to repeal and replace obamacare. obamacare is a disaster for us, it's a disaster. you can say oh, obamacare,r thy fill up our rallies with people -- we wonder how they get there but they are not the republican people that are representatives or represent. so we have begun repairing to repeal and replace obamacare. >> sean: announcing the preparation to repeal and replace obamacare, i went to the nation's capital where i am now, to talk to the speaker of the house, paul ryan about the 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 weren't the biggest donald trump supporter in the campaign. but the relationship seems to have gotten better. you went to "weak and ineffective" to "fine wine and a good partner." what did you miss -- do you regret not going in deep before and how do you feel now? >> we are going to do this big event in wisconsin after but they decided to go to michigan at the last minute because they thought they had a shot at that. it was a good decision because they won michigan. what i did not see and i said is at the press conference after the election, donald trump heard something no one 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 thesi 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 gave voice to people that felt like they were voiceless. he tapped into that and that is something that most people did not see. that something i said the next day,s bravo. very impressed.y, >> sean: how is the relationship now? >> it's great, really good actually. i didn't know him, he didn't i didn't know him, he didn'ti know me. we met basically once. we speak constantly. we talk all the time, we are working on the same plan. what i did we put together a 200 day plan during the transition, 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.on >> sean: that's the biggestxa part of what i wanted to discuss. let's go through what donald trump has done. he started the executive orders,

he eased the burden of obamacare, impending actions to freeze my get rid of 75% of all regulations, he withdrew from tpp. he had a federal hiring freeze. and money from going to foreign countries for abortion. signed executive action for the keystone, the dakota access pipeline. the border law, sanctuary 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 gorsuch was nominated. saw me with the premise serves canada, great britain, and yesterday of course bibi netanyahu. this is the biggest question i am getting, he is moving at the speed of light, and people have beens asking me, at the top stoy on "the drudge" report today. where is congress? for eight years, you guys had a plan, they 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. the 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 has a shelflife for just a couple months. we have been consuming, february and march going back into the b obama administration andg canceling the regulations and so first it is regulatory because we have this window of time to 's cancel that obama regulations and then we are doing obamacare. after we're done with that, we are doing our budget. a our budget -- the second's tax reform. working two budgets and one year 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. you said he tapped into something that other people missed. we have 13 million more americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty. lowest home ownership rate, donald trump says he will build a wall, replace obamacare, vet refugees, makebu america energy independent, seven brackets to three, 15%, allowed 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 day 1.

it's been all over the map, just from other people. >> it hasn't been all over the map for me. it has on the rumor mills but not for us. we are exactly on the timeline that we laid out for ourselves. 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 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 -- >> 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 had was that obama was our president since '06. >> sean: more of my sitdown interview with paul ryan and also tonight... >> there has been a tremendous >> sean: it was supposed to be done in '06. >> the problem we had was thatn obama was our president since '06. >> 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 alsok tonight, while in washington i sat down for an interview with thee israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. that is coming upup in this edition of "hannity." benjamin netanyayayayaya you found the love of your dreams... and together, you had the kid of your dreams. now you can put them in the car of your dreams... 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. it's league night!?

>> the market has hit record numbers, as you know. there has been a tremendous surge of optimism in the business world, which to me made something much different than it used to. it used to mean oh, that's good. now it means that is good for jobs.re very different. plants and factories are alreadf starting to move back into the united states and big-league ford, general motors, so many of them. >> sean: that was the president talking about jobs, returning to our country and here's more of my interview with the speaker of the house,

paul ryan. are you telling the american people that that agenda, that litany, vetting refugees and building a wall, education back 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 c little longer.r 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,de that is a huge energy independence move because it will bring back thousands of jobs in coal country. we can unlock western europe, we can compete. we can get this with barack obama. now with donald trump, we can permit those things. >> sean: back to the main list.tr in 200 days you are fairly confident that a budget will be passed.

two budgets, which is never happened. the wall is in the process of being constructed, we will be working on fixing the v.a., congress will support extremel 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 fala 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.

15% corporate rate, and a preferred 20. >> it's math, it's a math thing. >> sean: multinational corporations, repatriation? that will be huge, that's a lot of money they can come back into the economy. >> 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: it was pretty gracious of you to call me, you said youu 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. withthe hell is going on the republican -- is there a communication problem? you're making me feel better today. i feel 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. here 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. we are conservatives. >> 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. i love that about him. 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 moving so fast, people are scrambling to catch up. media.lly the i love the fact that he is not in any way about getting big, bold things done. he is aggressive about getting things done. >> sean: what did 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 was nothing presented to the congress.er let alone donald trump had any involvement in that. it was all about russia tryingus 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 number 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 this stuff in 2017. i have cushions built in the schedule to make sure this all gets done inhi 2017. in case something happens and go sideways. t >> sean: i'm pretty sure that will stimulate the economy, get people back to work, and get the economy moving again.ea 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 than >> sean: yesterday at the white house, the prime minister netanyahu spoke about the relationship with united states

and earlier today i sat down for a one-on-one interview with you israeli prime minister, right here in washington. i asked him about president trump, the administration, iran, and so much more. straight ahead.

>> live from america's news headquarters, i am jackie bonnie is in new york. hispanic was praising president trump's picks for labor secretary.

confirmed by the senate alexander acosta would be the first member of trump's cabinet. he served as an assistant attorney general under george w. bush. he's also served on the national labor relations board. his nomination comes one day after andy puzder withdrew his consideration. meanwhile, fox news has learned that mike dusky, the founder of crossroads media will be named communications director. white house secretary sean spicer -- jason miller was initially made munication instructor but step down soon after he was elected over christmas. i am jackie ibanez, now back to "hannity." for all of your headlines log onto foxnews.com. you're watching the most powerful name in news, that's the fox news channel. >> israel has no better ally than the united states. and i want to assure you, the united states has no better ally than israel. 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 themi prime minister for an interview right here in d.c. and i asked. him about his relationship with the new president,gh president trump and more. great to see you,, mr. prime minister.es >> 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. it was a meeting of the mines, and a meeting of the hearts. >> sean: interesting. it was interesting to watch the president say what a cherished ally israel is and for you to say there is no better supportet of the jewish people and the state of israel than donald trump. you have known him for how long? how do you know that? >> i knew him from the time i was serving as the ambassador to

the u.n., and we would sort of 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.nd through successive presidencies. i feel we have now and even stronger alliance, a new day, he called it. maybe a new age. >> sean: i felt there was aa 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,ou your neighbors in the region do not see israel as an enemy. but as an ally.he and then president trumpeg talkd about -- or you talked about newfound arab partners and he talked about one state, maybe 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.r. my read on this is that israel now has aa stronger relationship with united states, to be a strong relationship with great britain but also jordan, egypt, maybe 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 these radical sunnis led by isis, before that led by al qaeda and the shiites, led by iran. the arab countries are threatened by both. 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,l, resolved to fight this common enemy. and that is israel.

they don't b.s. anymore as their enemy, but increasingly, they see us as their ally against the common threat. i have to say that 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 saudis, the egyptians, theel jordanians, i've got a believe none of those countries want radical islam in their countries.ieos >> that is an understatement. they think i'm wrong will cut their throats, and they are right. in the great alliance between israel and the united states, we have had our differences.re i have to give credit to president obama, a level of

understanding. support for israel. i appreciate that. we 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 e nuclear deal with iran, if it is kept, the deal essentially said -- no bomb today, 100 bombs tomorrow, in ten years. that's what it says. because iran can go -- for the enrichment of arraignment -- >> sean: two years ago, you said that, in march of 2015. >> okay, we are kicking the cann 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. 's we are all pray to this, this militant islamic regime that will arm itself with nuclear weapons and missiles. they killed americans all over the place, they sponsor terrorism all over the place. now they are going to build an intercontinental ballistic missiles that could reach the united states and have multiple warheads to do that? is dangerous for america, iran, the arabs. everybody now understands it, and there is american president who u 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. . use dulcolax tablets for gentle dependable relief. suppositories for relief in minutes. and dulcoease for comfortable relief of hard stools. dulcolax. designed for dependable relief. 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 from dry mouth symptoms.

and now we unleash it onwerful your taxes.pecies has created. hello my name is watson. yep. h&r block and ibm watson together. come see us and get your taxes won.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity," here is more of my interview with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. this is from earlier today h 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. >> sean: a squared, b squared, c squared, radical islam plus weapons of mass destruction equals a modern-day holocaust? >> it's 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 years of terror -- we have this whole immigration it's problem. where 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 lesbians. their 16 countries that don't accept jewish passports. 16! and america is supposed to take in the world refugee population. explain, how does america and europe, based on your experience in the region, how do they ascertain that they are taking an immigrant and refugees, whether or not isis will

arbitrate the refugee population? how can you vet what is in somebody's heart? >> every country tries to in 1 degree or another do that. every country has to have the freedom to do so. 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 there are terrorist attacks that have killed thousands of people. >> sean: i remember speaking with you, you were one of our strongest allies at the time. >> i remember that very, very well. that was a moment of great tragedy. as the weapons become more sophisticated, and more deadly,

then the threat of terrorism becomes more deadly. nt terrorists becomes greater.or this applies to all countries today. >> sean: of 1,000-pound bomb on a missile that iran currently has, it could reach your country in less than 7 minutes. pretty scary. >> yeah. iran has icbms that could go to your country. that is what they are working on right now. member you had a great surgeon, just some all things i said. we are just underway, on the way to what? henry kissinger said very intelligently, he said iran is not merely a country. it's a much more of a cause, more of a cause in the country. it is global domination by their grand radical islamic beliefs.

it is more than that. they believe that they are destined to governmo 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,

preparing them throughout the world and asia, and africa, and europe, in india, and in this hemisphere as well. >> sean: pretty scary but you know, let me go to are palestinn issue. you said -- the president said one state, two state, may be ati 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. it will begin to affect the persistent refusal to recognize israel and any boundary, which is a source of the israeli-palestinian conflict. the palestinians continue to agitate for israel's destruction.an they do not care about this territory or this settlement.

everything is a settlement. tel aviv is a 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 recognizt 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 spokeke 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. well, things have changed a lot. coming up next, tonight on "hannity"... >> we have already had productive talks with many foreign leaders. to move forward towards stability, security, and peace.

>> sean: also, our important question of the day, m straight ahead. and peace. >> sean: also, our important question of the it's an important question you ask, but one i think with a 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. batteries you can trust against the ear hair you can't.

without them you're conducting business with an armpit on the side of your head. that's not just some battery. that's a duracell battery. that's a power you can trust.

dale! oh, hey, rob. what's with the minivan? it's not mine. i don't -- dale, honey, is your tummy still hurting, or are you feeling better to ride in the front seat? oh! is this one of your motorcycling friends? hey, chin up there, dale. lots of bikers also drive cars. in fact, you can save big

if you bundle them both with progressive. i'd like that. great. whoo. you've got soft hands. he uses my moisturizer. see you, dale. bye, rob. >> 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. "the first 100 days" with martha maccallum starts right now. >> martha: breaking tonight, president trump came to work swinging today, determined to fight back amidst charges that the white house is a flailing and besieged. he declared apparently out of the blue, let's have a news conference today, shall we. it was the likes of which we have never seen, a full frontal jousting parry with the press and a packed east room at the white house. he slammed them, intel leakers, fake news, congress, perhaps tired of letting others communicate for him, he tried to write their ship as a multi-headed opposition tried to drag it down with a watergate anchor slung around its neck. welcome today 28, everybody. i'm martha maccallum. good happy with us tonight. what may have set
