don't be silly. even when he's there, tucker doesn't work 25 hours a week. i'm kidding. he has some well-deserved time over the family. he's back in his chair on monday. till then, have a great weekend. "hannity" next. >> sean: and welcome to "hannity." the alt-left propaganda media is trying to recover from president trump's historic beat down and that is tonight's opening monologue. whining, complaining about president trump daring to call them out yesterday. let's run through some of the examples. over at nbc, chuck todd was so incensed, he tweeted, "this is not a laughing matter. i'm sorry. delegitimizing the prices on american." no, you did it to yourself, chuck. the president is defending himself from what is an out-of-control media bias. somehow he is calling that un-american?

chuck wasn't done there. he also compared trump tos richard nixon. let's watch this. >> a lot of this pressur conference had to do with the president airing grievances about the press, and we've got to remember what this is. it is a political tactic. one that is a familiar one. but he is going at it in a way we haven't seen a president do since nixon in the early '70s. i >> sean: chuck todd is probably upset but one of the biggest purveyors of all this fake news. now it wasn'tur that long ago wn he falsely claimed that the presidents trampled travel ban included a religious test. that is a lie, chuck. news.s fake remember this. >> president trump suspended the refugee program for 120 days. closed the borders on passport holders from seven muslim majority countries 3 months, and barred syrian refugees indefinitely.. mr. trump established a religious test for refugees from those countries, allowing an exception for christians and

others from minority religions. >> sean: then there is brian williams at nbc now. let's take a look at the kind of fake news that was said in response to comment a guest made on his show. watch this. >> that is the most basic function of a free press in our society. and the president's response to that was to have a semi-meltdown and to accuse us all of purveying fake news and, in fact, his own actions, which were to fire general flynn, proved that news was spot on. it was 100% accurate. >> because when you reduce the media enough and prestige, when they do report facts, those facts are diminished. >> sean: speaking of reducing the prestige of the all-important, all-arrogant media, you may remember you lied repeatedly. remember the helicopter you were supposedly flying in iraq and was coming under attack?

remember, you were recorded and talked about a seeing a dead boy floating past your hotel after hurricane katrina? a location where there was no water and no dead bodies? but the anchors at nbc are not alone, cbs could also not resist lashing out at the president. watch this. >> today, we learned the length of the president's fuse. 28 days. after four weeks of being blocked by courts, challenged by congress, and held to account by the public, president trump w called a hasty news conference and went on offense with the familiar tools that filled hissi career. bluster, bravado, exaggeration, and a few loose facts. >> sean: wouldn't he be so proud? "abc news," they got in also,ra why would they get out? >> that was the most amazing press conference by a president i've seen, been watching since the mid-'70s, i mean the amazing and spectacular insight

into donald trump and his state of mind today. to me, when you have presidents take office, many of them are empowered to get bigger. i think you have a president in that press conference looked smaller and more insecure i in s position. >> sean: that leaves us now with cnn, the clinton news network. they are extremely consistently biased trump coverage drew the attention of the president at yesterday's presser. ii loved every minute of it. take a look. >> i'm not okay when it is fake. cnn has so much anger and hatred and just the hatred. i don't watch it anymore because it isn't very -- he's saying no. it's okay, jim. you will have your chance. >> follow up on some questions. >> you do have other people. ratings aren't as good as some of the other people that are waiting. you look at your show that goes on at 10:00 in the evening.

you just take a look at that show. that is a constant hit. the panel is almost always exclusive anti-trump. the good news is he doesn't have good ratings. letum him have a little -- sit down. sit down. >> just because of the attack of fake news and attacking our network, i just want to ask you, sir -- >> i am going to change it from fake news. very fake news. [laughter] >> sean: not only was he presidential, not only was he honest, he was being funny. cnn, the clinton years network, is not happy about getting called out. here is how jake tappert responded immediately after. >> jake, i think all of us were pretty much stunned by the course of this hour and 15 minute appearance. >> everybody at home needs to ask themselves, how would you react if that were your boss coming in and giving a speechou to the employees where you work. how would you react if that was somebody in your family that you were trying to have a conversation with? >> president trump, if you are

watching, you're the president. you legitimately won the presidency. now get to work and stop whining about it. >> sean: the stinging and any rebuke is the truth. having a hard time accepting the truth that they are abusively by us. isn't that the network that fed questions to hillary clinton? and they colluded, of course, what that campaign. president trump has not stopped working. that's not all. cnn decided it was appropriate to mock the president with a hideo that says, "turn your sound up and watch president trump conduct an amazing symphony -- er, press conference." here is the video. ♪ ♪ oh, that's what we get from a real news network? by the way, jake tapper, jim acosta, you want to defend

that as news? or is that "saturday night live"? anyway. one of many reasons the president keeps calling cnn "fake news." more importantly, this is what this means. everything you saw amounts to a giant, huge temper tantrum from a bunch of overpaid spoiledou brats, so-called journalists who finally got called out for their bad behavior. all the members of the media, they can be mad all they want, it doesn't change the fact how biased, how lazy they are, and how abusive they have been towards the 45th president. in case they don't remember, here are some more examples. >> this was a whitelash, this was a whitelash against a changing country, it was a whitelash. against a black president in part. that's the part where the pain comes. >> you're not having a terrible, terrible dream, you are not dead, and you haven't gone to hell. this is our election, this is

our country. it is real. >> also this weekend about the 3 million votes -- >> there is no b.s. to it tonight. he believes everything he said today. the way he said it, it was so manic.id >> sean: pretty unbelievable. "the new york times," as bad as cnn. they had to reprimand a reporter for making a vile comment about the first lady melania. also a fake michael flynn twitter account, and the so-called record, they tweeted an image of a late-night show video that had stephen miller'sr who works for the president, head on a stick. you know what? we are all sick of it. a brand-new fox news bowl that compared to president obama, 68% of registered voters say the media has been a lot tougher on president trump. we have also shown repeatedly on the show how the this show how the alt left propaganda misrepresents the president and his policies. he drew a line in the sand, he call them out and he said enough

is enough, and he did it in a very even measured tone. if you can guarantee that if they media gets out of line again, i expect the president to hit him backkn again. the truth matters, and the why shouldn't he? people who are suffering from an information crisis are you, the american people. here with reaction, fox newsin contributor herman cain. i loved every minute of it. i thought his tone was measured, he wasn't showing anger, he showed a lot of humor, he told a lot of truth, and they can't seem to handle any criticism. what they are accusing him of. >> the pain of being thrown under the bus is very painful, and that is what theyy are reacting to, sean. psychologists have described the first three stages of grief as denial, anger, and acceptance. but the liberal media and the democrats have inserted what i call phase 2.5. it is called destroy.

they want to destroy donald trump and his administration at all costs, so they are telling the 50% of people who watch any news at all all of these misconceptions about what he has said and what he has done. the other 50%, thank goodness, they are watching your program,o listening to us. they can't handle the truth, and that is why they are still having this temper tantrum that you described. >> sean: look at all of the examples. look at "the new york times," in one week, all of the things they got wrong. i'm going to put up on the side of the screen, i won't read it myself, but we will split screen it for you. this is the federalist providing a list of fake news stories that reporters have run. the other side of it is cannot look at how they were exposed to wikileaks. all of these networks, allde of them, exposed as openly a colluding with the clinton campaign. how do they not reconcile that? >> they are in denial and anger

and in destroy mode, and they can't see it. the irony of it is, they are only destroying themselves. more and more people, like some of the people you probably have talked to on your shows, people that called into my show, more and more people are seeing this hypocrisy as they are not buying it. the american people are not stupid, but the liberal media a still doesn't get it. they are still in destroy mode, and it is not working. >> sean: it is also the stories they don't run. in our next segment, we have a very important story that we are covering tonight, and it is about the leaking from ours intelligence community, communications, we have a law that is called the espionage act. if they are spying, our security agencies, in this case, on a a russian ambassador, and they realize he is talking to an american, they are supposed to minimize the listening and minimize the reporting on the american.

not only did they not do that and follow the law, which is a a felony, but then they leaked this. f not covering 18 u.s. code 793, the espionage act, they didn't have a warrant to tap into the phone conversation of general flynn. this was illegal, this was a crime, if they can do this to him, they can do this to anybody. they don't even want to touch it. why? >> they don't want to touch it because they are used to eight years of an administration that they supported of only selectively covering select laws that were enforced. donald trump and his administration are doing something the previous administration didn't do, enforcing the laws. the law is the law, and he is saying, and rightly so, which is why so many people aresa positively responding to him, enforce the laws on the books. >> sean: they had better get used to it.

my prediction is, the people that keep leaking within the intelligence community are going to be arrested and probably go to jail. one last question.. we have had, in 30 days, shock and awe. the media, oh, he is this, oh, he is that. i thought he had a perfect temperament yesterday, and all the promises the president has made and kept in 30 days is pretty spectacular. more importantly, every other promise, he has done that, put these up on the screen here, not out there telling the story that the president made thesect promises, keeping these promises. i think that is a big news story. >> it is a great news story, and what we are seeing is what i have described in the acronym s.i.n. they are not only shiftinges the subject, super shifting. trying to get people so they

don't know the fact if they watch those sources. they are ignoring the facts relative to what president donald t trump and ths administration have that is what is going on, sean. >> sean: americans need jobs to get off poverty, out of food stamps, need to secure the borders, not let radical islamists in the country, pretty profound. herman, good to see you. coming up next in this busy news night on "hannity"... >> we are issuing a new executive action next week that will comprehensively protect our country. >> sean: the president says he will, in fact, sign a new executive action related to the travel ban next week. jay sekulow weighs in on the legal aspects of that. also tonight... >> so if i come back in 200

days, you're going to -- well, i made a promise -- >> here is what i am saying. we've mapped this out for 200 days. we have a plan to do that. we are on schedule. >> sean: yesterday, washington, i went to go interview the speaker of the house. we are starting a new segment tonight, "holding them accountable." we'll tell you all about it straight ahead. but grandma, we use charmin ultra soft so we don't have to wad to get clean. charmin ultra soft gets you clean without the wasteful wadding. it has comfort cushions you can see that are softer... ...and more absorbent, and you can use up to 4 times less. enjoy the go with charmin. hambone! sally! 22! hut hut!

>> live from america's news headquarters, i am anita vogel. vice president of mike pence on -- john mccain calls for the west to stand together for an unprecedented threat to his security and values. mccain said in the four decades he's attended the munich security -- than this year. >> i know there is profound concern across europe and the world that america is laying down the -- i can only speak for myself, but i do not believe that this is the message you will hear from all of the american leaders who cared enough to travel here to munich this weekend. >> vice president mike pence addresses that conference later this morning and is expected to reassure skeptical allies about president trump's foreign

policy. i am anita vogel. let's take you back to "hannity" for all your headlines, log on to fox news.com. >> decisive action to keep radical, islamic terrorists out of our country. parts that are necessary and constitutional actions were blocked by judges, in my opinion, incorrect and unsafe ruling. our administration is working night and day to keep you safe, including reporters, safe. and vigorously defending this lawful order. we are issuing a new executive action next week that will comprehensively protect our country. so we'll be going along the one path and hopefully winning that. at the same time, we will be issuing a new and very comprehensive order to protect our people. >> sean: the president announcing yesterday he will sign a new executive action on immigration early next week. so what can be worded differently so liberals and the

courts cannot stop it? joining us now from the american center for law and justice, jay sekulow. all right, lightning round quick to get facts on the table. the big story, you agree with me, the intelligence community has been politicized among some. what they did in leaking this was illegal, correct? >> absolutely illegal. almost becomes a soft coup in a sense, it violates federal law, a felony. >> sean: that would be the espionage act, 18 u.s. code 798. >> correct. unauthorized dissemination of information. >> sean: the other thing is we know our intelligence agencies, they were doing their job and monitoring the russian ambassador. >> right. >> sean: there is law and protocol -- i want you to go into more detail -- when they discover an american is being spoken to with the person they targeted for surveillance, if they don't have a warrant, they are supposed to stop recording, minimize whatre they hear from e

americanr citizen -- in this case, it would be general flynn. that makes it illegal. explain. >> so it is called minimization. it is a requirement under the law. when you find out it ist an american, you don't have a wire step, exactly what you said, you shut it off for their portion of the conversation. sean, there was a change in the nsa with an order that came up from president obama, 17 days before he left office, now goes to 16 agencies and that just festered this whole leaking situation. that happened on the way out as the president was leaving offic office. >> sean: this is important. let me put upnt "the new york times." january 12th, this discussing of everything you said. in its final days, the obama administration expanded the power of the national security agency to share globally intercepted personal medications with thelo government, 16 other agencies, intelligence agencies,

before applying privacy protections. explain the severity of this. this means that information that most people would never see it is now spread all throughout the entire intelligence community. explain the significance. >> the question i asked, why did the obama administration waitni until 17 days if they waited and i thought it was so important. they had eight years. they didn't do it. that's number one. number two, it changed the existing rules, an executive order dating back to ronald reagan that has been in place until 17 days before the obama administration was going to end. that said the nsa gets the raw data and they determine the dissemination. this change that the president put in place, signed off by james clapper on december 15th 2016, signed off by loretta lynch, the attorney general, january 3rd 2017. they decide that now all ofe a sudden 16 agencies can get the raw data. what that does is it almost creates a shadow government. you have all these people that are not agreeing with the

president, president trump's position. so it festers. if they had a justification for this, wonderful. why didn't they do it eight years ago, four years ago, three years ago? they wait until 17 days left.t >> sean: in other words, it makesea it that much more difficult by spreading out the information to 16 other agencies if they want to target or take away the privacy rights and illegally tapped phones, in this case, general flynn. it's going to be much harder to find the perpetrators. is that a good analysis? >> yes. what it has done, it's increase 16 for the people that have access to medications. initially, just the nsa, very small amount of people that would have had access to this type of data. with this change administratively, so a significant that they allowed dissemination to 16 16 other agencies abroad of raw data. we wonder why there are leaks. i will tell you something. president obama, james clapper, loretta lynch, they should be held accountable for this.ng not only illegal, but the way they did it.

>> sean: you think it was designed for the purpose of allowing their spies to do everything we seees happening? >> yeah, they're justification to be, it will help with intelligence gathering. like i said, eight years into your administration you decide to do it? j 17 days to go? that needs to be answered. i will be very curious to say what they say. >> sean: the president is going to issue a new executive order as it relates to extreme vetting. you actually have written your own version, if you will, that you feel would withstand thehe constitutionality and even get an 8-0 vote if it goes from the ninth circuit to the supreme court. i am putting up on the side of the screen the changes you have suggested. explain why they need to be put in place and specifically why you think you could get a 8-0 unanimous decision. >> the one area where the ninth circuit's went at the administration -- i think the order was constitutional. i think the ninth circuit that was time to make long. but i like cases tight, if i'm going to take a case that goesbu

to the supreme court, so whereha the white house vote in a white house memorandum that green card holders, visa holders would not be subject to this extreme vetting order, to the executive order, that came to the white house counsel's office. so the ninth circuit said that's not the same as coming from an agency, it's nonbinding. what we said is put a definitive and the order itself come up with the definitive language, which is right out of what the ninth circuit said was the problem, put a specificng date o there is no question when it comes into effect. the president has the authority. we talked about it many times. the ninth circuit didn't even bother to cite the law here. they didn't even bother it. they ignored it completely. >> sean: 1182.2. >> i think this is bulletproof. by the way, sean. i don't know the ninth circuit will do, they may rule against it because that is where they are politically. >> sean: 80% rate of return is

pretty high. by any standard. jay, great stuff, thank you for explaining it. this is really important. you get to a police state, if gthey can use surveillance and leak it and destroy the lives of innocent americans. doesn't matter whether you are republican, liberal, democrat, that is a huge problem.la up next to night right here on "hannity"... >> so if i come back in 200 days -- you are going to -- well, i made a promise? i think this is important. >> here is what i am saying. we have a plan to do that. we are on schedule. >> sean: yesterday i went to washington, d.c., opportunity to interview the speaker of the house. i asked him multiple times at republican lawmakers will work to enact president trump's orders. a new segment we are starting, "holding them accountable."bl we will begin that coming up next. also tonight... >> when you couple a radical islamist regime that says death to america with weapons of mass death, then you have a much, much bigger problem. >> sean: also yesterday while in washington, d.c., i had the chance to interview israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity." a brand-new segment, calling it "holding republicans in washington accountable." yesterday, i traveled to washington to interview the how he plans to enactpaul ryan president trump's agenda. watch this. >> are you telling the american people that that agenda, vetting refugees, building the wall, repeal, replace, education back to the states, tax reform, all of this is going to be done in 200 days? >> the education part might be a little bit longer, because were waiting for betsy devos to put together her plan. so on the education thing andti the welfare reform, that's going to be outside the 200-day window. inside the 200-day window is the regulatory reforms we talked about, it's the repeal and e replace obamacare, it's the budget, it's the rebuilding of our military, it's tax reform. those are the things we're

working -- and infrastructure. those other things were working on this -- i should've said that as well. >> so in 200 days, you are fairly confident that a budget is going to be passed. i'm going to get to the specifics. >> two budgets.. two budgets. >> which has never been -- that we're going to work on fixing the va, that congress will support extreme vetting and that they'll move forward with energy independence. the good thing is that you have a president that agrees with congress on doing these things. but is 200 days -- you think that's doable.ng >> this is our plan, yes. and if there's any slippage, we'll finish it in the fall and get it done before the end of the year. >> so if i come back in 200 days -- you're going to go -- well, i made a promise. >> so here's what i'm saying. we've mapped this out for 200 days.s. we have a plan to do that. we are on schedule. but if anything slips because of another supreme court justice,

or a filibuster on a cabinet nominee, that might slip us. but we're making sure that we do this in 2017. and we have cushion in ourur schedule. if anything slips because of senate issues, we still have time to accommodate all of that stuff in 2017. so i have cushions built in the schedule to make sure this all gets done in 2017 in case something happens and goes sideways on the senate. >> i'm pretty sure that will stimulate the economy, get people back to work, and get the economy moving again, which i think we need. >> that's what we are hired to do. >> all right, mr. speaker, i'll see you in 200 days. >> sean: here with us,s, w lisa boothe, with a new book, the deplorables' guide to making america great again," and columnist, madison gesiotto. your debut, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> sean: you are also the press secretary on the regional level, right?s. >> i was the regional press secretary for half the country.

>> sean: the speaker, i was very happy. i am moving fast tonight. f he said he totally supports the agenda, get it done in 200 days. by the way, in fairness to him, a lot of what he has tried to do is difficult. >> absolutely. what i really love with your interview yesterday, it seems like he's finally 100% behind our president. i know president trump has worked to keep the promises on the campaign trail at an unprecedented rate, and it's great to see congress doing their best to keep up and their republican readership is working for the american people, theyng should have been doing this much earlier than this, they need to be accomplishing things faster. >> sean: this is an opportunity. you don't get this very often, to get the job done, what was your takeaway from thehe promise to support the agenda and legislatively pass it? >> well, sean, i think all of us gun-toting deplorable americans are cautiously optimistic that republicans are going to do that. the reason i say cautiously

optimistic that is, the republicans have a bad habit of campaigning as conservatives, but when they finally gain control, they gain power, they go a little wobbly. so i am glad you are holding their feet to the fire here and i do believe that paul ryan is going to be a helper and a friend to president trump. >> sean: lisa, i have been very critical of republicans, they are spineless, visionless, i was so frustrated that they never actually used their enumerated power to battle obama.in i walked away feeling a lot more optimistic after interviewing the speaker yesterday.wo am i being naive or did you feel the same way? >> no, i don't think you're being naive, as he outlined in the interview, there some big ticket items up ahead, thinkk that this country desperately needs, whether it is reform, obamacare repeal and u replacement, or things like just getting a lot of the deregulation, these various things that we need, tax reform, all of the stuff needs to get done. so i think it's important to hold speaker ryan's feet to the

fire. >> sean: lisa, i'm sorry, we have a time crunch and i want to make sure i get the same. i'll start with you, lisa. do they do it? in 200 days, do you predict it will be done, most of it, >> i don't know about 200 days. the legislative side? but yes. i think it is holding majorityno leader mitch mcconnell and president trump as well, going to take everyone to move these things forward. >> sean: todd, what do you say? >> sean, as i wrote in "the deplorables' guide to making america great again" -- it's going to be the american people who have to rise up and make sure, hold their collective leadership in congress accountable. >> sean: that is what we are trying to do in this segment. madison? >> i would love to see it happen in ten days, but i'm concerned we have a lot of people mainstream --dash media who are putting their interests ahead of the interestl of the american people. i hope we can get thisis accomplished in 200 days. >> sean: here is my fear. my fear is that they're going to be republicans in marginal districts, may be districts that hillary won, they are going to be a lot tougher to bring on board. it may be harder than we think,

but we will hold them accountable and we will have the segment on a regular basis. good to see well. thank you for being with us. and up next tonight on "hannity"... >> when you couple a radical islamist regime that says death to america with weapons of mass death, then you have a much, much bigger problem.ay >> sean: yesterday while in washington, i also interviewed the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we spoke about radicalism, much more. and we will check in with lou dobbs tonight, he is here,an and many, many more new stories to come on this busy friday night edition. look closely.

>> sean: you agree with me, radical islam is the evil in our time. and iran represents the biggest threat. >> because it would couple a radical islamic regime with nuclear weapons. there could be evil that is not threatening because it doesn't have the powers of mass murder. but when you couple a radical islamic regime that says "death to s america" with the weapons f mass death, then you have a much, much bigger problem. >> sean: a squared, b squared, c squared. radical islamist terrorists, weapons of mass destruction, equals a modern-day holocaust? >> it is up to us to prevent it. >> sean: that was israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu talking about the threat posed by a nuclear iran. joining us with reaction, author of "besiege," anthony tata, and

fox news contributor rickof grenell. rick, i think it's pretty clear, but he stood on the stage for so long as ae voice in the s wilderness. now he has a partner. what changes now? >> all of the allies we have in the region are desperate to have u.s. leadership. so when donald trump and bibi netanyahu, there are a lot of cheers from the middle east leaders. we have seen not just terror cells onn the iranians, but literally a strategy i for irano place competing military forces in places like iraq, syria, in lebanon. they are not going to stop. they want it in turkey. and what middle east and the arab leaders are now standing up and seeing is that the united states is saying, we are

going to once again pushed back the iranians and isolate them. a lot of cheers coming up from the middle east on that. >> sean: let me play for you a moment about this new coalition, general, where i asked him, are the a saudi's, the egyptian, jordanians joining forces with israel. let me play this cut for f you. >> i am reading the tea leaves and what i'm hearing from you is that there is an alliance that perhaps is emerging that maybe nobody anybody anticipated before that goes way beyond a one- or two-state solution, not only against iran but also the palestinian issues. >> i am trying to throw a very cunning journalist off track. [laughter] >> sean: i am looking for hope. >> i think there is a lot of hope. their resolve to resist these terrorists, these roots. and thede understanding that we can forge new relationships that we've never had before. >> sean: general, did you pick up what i picked up during thisr conference, this emerging

alliance, something bigger than people have conceived of before? >> i think so, sean. and i think your conversation with the prime ministeron contributed to that whole discussion to further it along. that's how important i think that was. what he is really talking about and what you are talking about is stopping iran iranian hedge enemy iranian hegemony. there are members of the transnational terrorist group that is trying to wipe israel off the face of the map. they want to get rid of iranian hegemony, they see iran halfway up to mosul. >> sean: could we take out c those sites, the brits also joio in? and i am short on time, we will start with you. could we take out those sites without boots on the ground?

>> we could. it's better to have boots on the ground. some of our secret folks in the ground with lasers that can do that. >> sean: you agree with that, rick? >> look, i think we need to have boots on the ground because you get timely t intelligence. >> sean: but not a lot of boots. >> no, but i know for intelligence. we need timely intelligence and that's all we need. >> sean: all right, guys, good to see you both. appreciate it. that's an important discussion. when we come back, we have this straight ahead on "hannity." >> we are becoming a drug-infested nation. drugs are becoming cheaper than candy bars. we b aren't going to let it hapn any longer. >> sean: the president taking measures to crack down on drugs pouring into the country. we will get reaction on that from lou dobbs.g that and more straight ahead. business with an armpit on the side of your head.
