5:00-10:00. to make sure you tune into the fox news channel. we got you covered on all angles and all stories. thanks for inviting us into your home today. fair, balanced, and unafraid. it's all happening, so don't get left behind. >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," other networks are determined to ignore it, we open tonight with the coverage of the horrific rape in maryland, shocking emails and they are shocking, montgomery county school officials have been sending to parents vowing to protect illegal aliens at all costs and a threatening anyone complains about that. they have evidence of illegal immigrants henry sanchez malan and jose montano are guilty, he has a lawyers saying he is innocent. >> it seems the physical evidence is not there because there's no scratches, there's no bruises, there is no injuries like that.

>> there is physical evidence of a rape and sex assault, yes. she is absently adamant that she did not want this to happen whatsoever at all. >> tucker: david ruiz is an attorney a partner at the firm rub scenting him, he joins us tonight thanks a lot for coming on. >> tucker: there are reports that you plan to argue at your from that the rape was consensual, 17 and a 14-year-old girl in a high school bathroom, how could that in any sense be consensual? >> this is an ongoing case, this just happened last friday. yes, the preliminary indications we have was that this was a consensual encounter. not a rape in any sense.

>> tucker: between two guys 17 and 18 and a 14-year-old girl in a high school bathroom. pardon me if you i seem astonished that you would be bold enough to assert something like that, that seems insane. >> it certainly seems horrible that that would occur in our schools even consensual, it seems like something we wouldn't want in our community but that doesn't have anything to do with whether or not it was forced or coerced or in any way illegal. >> tucker: even saying that out loud, is in effect an attack on this girl told authorities that she was raped, is your a argument that she invited sex with two men in a bathroom in high school in the middle of the day and then lied that it was rape? >> i think what you're going to find that as this case goes on there's a lot more evidence that will come out, all of this involved are ethically constrained from discussing details. this case will go through the courts and there will be evidence that comes out. it's not just what has been the initial sensational headline? >> tucker: you're a partner at a real law firm, you were assigned to this case you apparently took it voluntarily why did you do that and who's

paying for the defense? >> i'm not going to get in the details of who, his family retained us, his father is in this country and hired us to do this case.e. this is what we do we represent people who have been accused of crimes. >> tucker: why would you get into details of who's paying you? when i? >> bound by many ethical considerations such as what i've been told by my client, what i know about the case that cannot be made public.. i've got larger responsibilities to my job with my license and my practice but i can't talk about everything. a >> tucker: this kid was facing deportation, if he's found innocent, if you get him off on these charges, will you continue to take up his case to keep him in the united states? >> i don't do immigration law, we have attorneys at our firm that do.o. my understanding is that he will face deportation even if exonerated from what thedi accusations are.

>> tucker: what do you think of that? >> i think that's a larger issue that i'm not hired or paid to talk about. the focus right now as an attorney and as a human being is on making sure that our children are protected, making sure that the bottom line of this story is found out the truth one way or another. >> tucker: to be honest, would you be comfortable having your 14-year-old girl in class with this guy?>> >> i have two children, i live in montgomery county, they're not in school yet, i want nothing but safety for my children, their friends, my family and everyone in my community. >> tucker: right, we all do, but that's not answering the question. this specific guy, your client, would you feel comfortable having her love one go to school with him? >> i don't know him. i literally don't know him i can't begin to answer that question about single specific individual. certainly these allegations have caused everyone a lot of concern and they should.

this is absolutely a horrific allegation. >> tucker: i think that's something you would think through since you're meant to be arguing in public on behalf of this guy. t doesn't his character, his capacity or not, to do something like this, does that enter into it? is that a consideration for you? >> everything's a consideration, i'm sure there could be a numbe' of questions asked about all three of the people involved in this. five days into it.of >> tucker: what questions would be raised about the 14-year-old girl that says shequ was raped in high school bathroom, what questions would you raise about her? >> i don't know, i wonder what questions about the accuser the duke lacrosse case. >> tucker: this isn't duke lacrosse case, you're the one who brought it up.e you said questions could be raised about her, i'm asking what questions? >> you just talked about the character, the different aspects of mr. sanchez, i think everyone

involved the person accused making that excision puts the puts the character into play. >> tucker: you better be right about this because you're going to be impugning the character of a 14 year coral girl who says she was raped. other people said they heard her screams. to impugn her character, you really before god to better be sure that you on the right side of this, does it occur to you? >> i think what occurs to me is that we have a system here.. when people are accused, we go through the system. >> tucker: you don't need to trash the accuser you're alreadn beginning that, you know exactly what you're doing. >> i'm not trashing her in any way >> tucker: of course you are, but her credibility and character, you just said that. my only point to you, have you thought through the moral consequences, i'm glad to defense lawyers exist. before you say something i like that, i'm kind of putting my soul on the line a little bit? do you have those thoughts to h yourself? >> i'm a human being and i have all of those thoughts.. i think as we learn more about

this case and as you see more of the facts, everyone will be able to evaluate this case. it's day five. >> tucker: this a lot of things we don't know, you say his immigration status is irrelevant but can you see why people don't think it's relevant, he was in and out of u.s. custody, federab custody and in state custody in maryland and he was let go. he's accused of a violent rape against the child. if he is deported as he should have been legally we wouldn't be here today, why his immigration status irrelevant, it sounds like very relevant.le >> his immigration status is irrelevant to whether or not he did it. my job is to defend him and try to get to the bottom of the facts of whether or not he did. it is irrelevant to the issue of whether or not this occurred, that's exactly my point. >> tucker: he wouldn't have been in the school, he wouldn't have been accused, went havebe retained you, girl hadn't have questions raised about her character if the end been here. >> right, this isn't the first

sexual assault case have been hired for in many of them are natural born citizens. it is not an issue of whether people committing these crimes are immigrants. it's one of these crimes are being permitted. >> tucker: people already to the crime, should be here in the first place. but maybe that's too obvious. thank you for being here. we want to share a series of emails to you since due by the superintendent ofth montgomery county schools. dr. jack r smith sent to the t parents placed the kids under his care. the emails are fascinating there are a true showcase of his values to dr. jack hours met the worst crime imaginable is not sexual violence against a child but naughty language language he considers intolerant. an email sent just today, and by the rape itself but he lectures parents, far too many have

crossed the line racist and xenophobic calls and emails. not only are those calls offensive but they are also somehow illegal. he puts, they will not be tolerated and will be reported to police in montgomery county who presumably have never heard of the first amendment. speaks much more harshly about xenophobia than he does aboutav sexual assault of a child. it's not the only email he sent like this. colleagues of montgomery county school system have sent a ton of them. one week after the november election his district had every principle sent an email that warned hate speech something they never bothered to define would be punished severely. they urged kids to report cases of offensive messages to thehe proper authorities. last friday night, the very day after the alleged rape in rockville, he sent a school wide email lamenting on the basis of no actual evidence that hate-based incidents are on the rise across this country, something a lot of people say but no one actually proves. he urges students to participate in a contestua denouncing hate, any political

expression that school administrators disagree with. none of this has anything to do with education of course it's a political indoctrination of stunned by force and they're not even trying to hide it. in january, the district took a stand for illegal immigration they sent an email letting parents know that montgomery county remains a welcoming learning environment for all students regardless of immigration status. teachers will do nothing to report illegal immigrants. you would think that somewhere, someone in the spelling and highly paid education complex would pause and regret sending an email like that given that an illegal alien now stands accused of raping a child and one of the school bathrooms. apparently there are no second thoughts in rockville, it's a full steam ahead with the same old diversity agenda at all costs, if you don't like it, shut up or will call the cops.e the powers that be in montgomery county certainly don't want you thinking critically about the country's immigration laws, fortunately were not good to listen to them tonight.ou at the rockville case exposed the critical flaws of the immigration laws, where joined by danna stein, president fort

federation of american immigration reform were joined by alex little a criminal defense attorney and former u.s. attorney it's great to see you both. the obvious question which i just posted the defense lawyer is that this crime could have been prevented, nobody really doubts that. if one of the men and probablyal both had been deported as he was supposed to be, but the government didn't deport him and now here we stand with the child claiming she was raped. this is inherently about immigration and its lack ofim enforcement for political reasons. >> i fundamentally disagree, the chain of causation that you're laying out is so far attenuated. i had cases as a prosecutor where the defendant would say i did this because i needed to pay for the mother's cancer treatment.is he committed a burglary or an armed robbery. is that case about health care reform? the individual committed a violent crime. here the causation is what

happened in that bathroom. >> tucker: but he wasn't supposed to be here. authorities fell down on the job they didn't do what they were sworn to do what they had sworn to do because of political pressure. he wouldn't be here at all, this is not attenuated, this is direct. >> if that's what this case is about than i think we are focusing on the wrong thing.ha we have an individual who is a potential rape victim, she is not the one in the country i think it important we focus one all of them. i don't want to tell them that one were rape is more important or less important because of th immigration status. >> tucker: i'm not going to sit here for that and know was attacking his race. i'm certainly not.wa i'm saying look, dan, here is what separates this rape from a lot of rapes, that's all i'm saying. this is one that could have been prevented. >> what's happening is happening around the country concerned citizens are asking why. what has happened to the

american mind mixing the decline of the intellect, were figuring out what of these guys doing here? why are they in the same classroom in the same school with a 14-year-old girl these guys are 17-18? wire the in the eighth grade? how did they get in through the border, who greeted the environment that lists all happen? chain of causation,bo 1982 supreme court, biggest federal mandate and history, everybody here illegally have to go to public school. then at senator feinstein, joe biden when he was in the senate, wilberforce language a law designed to protect child traffickers is now being used by smugglers.d lo and behold what we are now facing is a big battle between a donald trump who is trying to crack down and many republicans and the democratic party and democratic controlled states ant counties setting themselves in defiance, not only are we going to promote the concept of

illegal immigration, were going to do what we can to obstruct justice.le there is no reason that these two guys should have been in tht country. they came in here illegally. they were released, they never really had a hearing date for deportation because basically the democratic party position on this now is unless you commit a dangerous felony, you shouldn't be deported. you know that means? your good to have evil here illegally committing felonies who have no criminal record. >> tucker: i would direct you there and pose this question to alex. i think pro-immigration advocates would have more authority if they agreed with the president that if you commit a felony that you could be deported.y yet they argue against that, they're against deportation. >> that's absolutely the law. if you commit a felony, even if your green card holder. >> tucker: when a trump says we're going to be deport them all of a sudden it's kristallnacht, we don't want criminal aliens here. >> i don't think people disagree about that i think the question is where you place the enforcement and where do youeo focus your priorities?

here we see some troubling signs that ice is not focusing they priorities on dangerous criminals, there is outside churches and hospitals in homeless shelters, very disturbing case of a domestic violence victim who was taken into custody after reporting her abusive husband. when you have immigration authorities doing that i think there's a real debate about whether that's the right approach whether you do take folks who are violent felons and deport them. >> tucker: what's basically v people are saying which don't enforce a lot when a change along congress? >> it's a bankrupt idea that you shouldn't be deported unless yos commit an independent felony. in the end you're creating a swamp of illegal activity. if you don't really know the identity of somebody if they are here illegally. i all the supreme court said ineg 1982 was if a child is here illegally, they ought to be enrolled in public school until there deported.ub that doesn't mean the school has a responsibility to verify't residency or sadness. i know all about the school

system, they do not verify real identity, they don't care about the actual age of these guys, r that's why they were in theth school. basically montgomery county is running a segregated school system. you look at performance and you can see how people self segregate within the school system and a rockville used to be a great school but now it's kind of declining because the montgomery county politics are creating -- >> tucker: unfortunately were out of time.nt >> we have to maintain the veto of the trust act that's everything were going to try to do now is to stop that bill in the state assembly. >> tucker: thanks. sources have told fox news there could soon be a smoking gun proof of the obamama administration tried to spy or did in fact spy on the transition team at. we'll talk to a lawyer who served under president clinton about that. first, rockville is hardly the only example of immigrants committing severe crimes. we'll present some research to you that we pulled from government data that has not been examined, stay tuned. government data that has not government data that has not been examined, stay it's time for the

contributing to crime in the country. data from each of the 20 u domestic divisions shows that of the 767 fugitives with known birthplaces, 83% of them were born outside of this country. in fact, the u.s. has imported a foreign criminal class that operates a multibillion-dollar drug trade within our borders. or perhaps more surprising is what's happening in the most violent cities where foreignde fugitives dominate the most wanted list. and violence plagued detroit to come at just 7% of the dea'si fugitives are listed as born in the united states. divisions in new york, new jersey, philadelphia, seattle, and dallas don't list a single american born fugitive on their most wanted list. >> they're bringing drugs, their brand crime, their rapists, and some i assume are good people. i speak to border guards and t they tell us what we are getting and it only makes common sense.

>> tucker: one counterpoint to the statistics is that drug traffickers are more likely to be from out of the country, foreign criminals also might be more difficult to track down and therefore more likely to remain on most wanted list. that does not change the fact that there is a strong linkck between lax border enforcement and the black market for drugs. beyond the drug trade, federal fugitives remain disproportionately foreign-born. federal crime statistics show that even though just 13% of america's population is foreign-born, mexican citizens alone make up more than 14% of the entire federal prison population. one of the most disturbing statistics uncovered was that 30 for 6% of the fugitives on the crimes against children most wanted list were born outside of this country. those fugitives include mexican born hugo sanchez and allege serial rapist who plays upon young children, wanted for disturbing child pornography and mexican born jose antonio barroso who allegedly raped a 5-year-old. none of this is news to ann

coulter spent years warning about the crime connection and been reviled for it, fan of president trump, it go after my twitter two days ago about falling approval rating. thanks much for coming on. got a lot of attention, written a book in support of donald trump i say you're supportive of this program. i think what you're saying it was he has not put priorities of his campaign at the top of his priorities list that's a problem. >> they seem to be paul ryan's priorities, also just the standard g.o.p. corporatist stuff. what made donald trump stand apart from the crowd and apart from the crowd from everyy presidential candidate for 20 years was immigration, trade,

infrastructure, building a wall. obviously that was very, very popular a lot of people listen to all this time. i like tax cuts cut, i'd love to have my taxes cut, 50% of people don't even pay taxes i think the bigger problem now is jobs. i will not hold the emperor god responsible for this obamacare lite bill, for pete's sake. am i the last person in america who understands the free marketp sean spicer was very good today explaining to idiot reporters, getting mandated coverage doesn't mean insurance companies won't cover it, it means and won't be required to pay for 15 services more like 50 services that i have no interest in. they're all talking about congress is going to give us these things. congress can give us nothing, the free market can give us things. they are coming up with the

premiums? who would be better to come up with the premiums, he needs to come up with a good premium to compete to get my business. and who has disease specialists and actuarial specialists or politicians in washington. >> tucker: your hearing speaking of politicians in washington, you're hearing some of them and an awful lot of school district officials in montgomery county say there is a no connection at all between our immigration policy in this crime that happened last friday and rockville, you're laughing. >> i am, it is just stunning this argument that a lot of things, criminals tell me i had to rape that girl because my mother wouldn't give me a dollar.ri we can't control whether his mother gave him a dollar. immigration policy is the definition of something we canio control, who comes into the country. there are all these americans who wouldn't have dead children, wouldn't be raped, one to be dead themselves are undergoing

facial reconstruction surgery or addicted to heroin but for our immigration policy, it's something we can change, let's change it. >> tucker: what's interesting is that there seems to be profound misalignment between what the president went on and what the public and leadership stands for. on the speaker of the house website and help me to singlesh them out, we need to encourage legal immigration. that's a real position but it's not really consistent with whath the president ran on from what i can tell. >> no, paul ryan was the vice presidential candidate of a losing presidential ticket, iau think republicans ought to be moving to trump's position rather than trump moving to their position. i think what congress ought to be doing now, i would like them to pass on obamacare repeal that says there shall be a free market in health insurance that says those of us who are healthy and able to pay can buy a plan

any normal human would want to. start that 80% of the country, then you can get to welfare cases. if you're not going to do that how about they love o comprehensive immigration bills. how about a bill with most of what trump wants to do on immigration, he can do becausey he's president of the united states, look at how the courts have reacted. congress will endorse over than drums wants to do, a wall. >> tucker: laws are supposed to come from congress as you know. thanks for joining us. up next, my sources tell fox news their coded student be a smoking gun proving that the president was in fact spied upon by the previous administration.c we'll talk about the case with someone who spent two years advising a previous president, president clinton, stay tuned. i've been blind since birth. i go through periods where it's hard to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. learn about non-24 by calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com.

there's a lot we don't know, we've got to concede that further some things we don't know and there are two tracks. one is the debate over whether the president should have sent that tweet in the first place. okay, but there's a deeper question about is our government spying for political purposes? we know a couple things, here's one we can say for certain outcome of the fbi has not responded apparently to the house intelligence committee's request for documents is their turn to figure out what exactly happened. the fbi want to respond to the house intel which provides oversight my things are out of control, aren't they? >> first of all i disagree with director comey's decision to go public to confirm what the fbi is investigating. it's completely improper, he did it when he disclosed it when he disclosed hillary clinton, he was wrong to confirm investigation of contacts with the trump campaign, to be consistent i think comey is acting

improperly. secondly, we ought to be careful about jumping to conclusions. i don't think he meant that literally that barack obama himself was wiretapping trump tower but he should stay off twitter and to be president. >> tucker: of course i agree with that and i said that to them directly. i think it's a much more important debate to what extentt can the u.s. government spy on its own citizens and should they ever be authorizing spying of political opponents? even if it's warranted is a dangerous place to go, liberalse used to jump up and down about this. >> completely agree, i'm a civil libertarian and it would be inconsistent if i said it's okay now but it would be okay if it's democrats. there's still only evidence that people were incidentally overheard when a target with a fisa warrant who is an intelligence target such as a russian spy might be talking to americans. >> tucker: i'm not sure that's

true, here's what's james rosenn is reporting. sent around to a massive intelligence community certain too late to bless against protocol. apparently this investigation did not pertain to the russianso it was something else. it was authorized by the obama administration. just knowing those facts, i'm thinking that crossed the line, you can't do that to a political opponents, that's crazy. >> we don't know facts yet. >> tucker: the chairman said the names were not redacted they were unmasked. >> the chairman should not be speaking at all. >> tucker: that may be true, but now that we know that it's not a small thing. b >> we only know that he said it, we haven't seen it. i would like to suggest that the chairman whether democratic or republican of an intelligence committee has to be bipartisan or nonpartisan. let's assume that is true, then that's wrong. we also have to assume that the

fisa warrant process which involves russian agents or intelligence who are talking to americans and picked up incidentally, that's completely legal. we don't know that either. >> tucker: two things real quick, we don't know that any of this took place under fives actually, there are other ways they could have done it. >> mr. comey should not have said this but he said that as far as he was concerned, it was not -- >> tucker: something could be legal as you found out and still be wrong, seemingly unethical. here's the last point i'm going to make. shouldn't liberals defend the principle that the u.s. government should not be spying on its own citizens without really good reason and you should never do it to your political opponents?s? >> absolutely we have to be consistent but you're using the expression we have evidence that there's been spying on citizens when the only spying that we know about is incidentally picking up an american talking to a russian agent. >> tucker: it's still spying.nc

>> it's absolutely appropriate if you're looking at a russian agents talking to an american, it gets picked up in that it should definitely be redacted. >> tucker: they pick up g everything. coming up next, britain is still reeling from a terrorist attack, we'll talk to a trump administration official about this country's response to islamic terror abroad. we picked up something dismal about congress today, you need to hear what it is, that's ahead. dear predictable, there's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free. see you around, giulia ♪

>> the trump administration is looking -- it's the whole government. yesterday, in the demonstration of symbolism, the secretary of state, and for the national security council, i ran the ministerial, the secretary of defense, secretary mattis was there at the spoke as well and we had all the senior cabinet members there. secretary of treasury, secretary of homeland security, the policy implications are it's an immediate threats, it's something the president is considering, we have secretary mattis given to the president hey, of plan to deal with radical islam but but also isis in the region of iraq and syria. something that president trump understands, it's not going to be sanctions. it's not good to be a little effort in one part of the world it's good to be a broad and comprehensive effort not just for the united states but with our allies and radical islam, threatens not only in the u.s. homeland but around the world. >> tucker: i have to ask you about susan rice who occupied a

job not different from yours, wrote a piece schooled in the trump administration for its misuse of language for in effect lying to the public, what was your response? >> lied to the american public about the threat of radical islam? >> tucker: for using language that was untrue, making flipea claims it can't be supported,si she schooled the trump administration. >> i'm not sure that scolding anybody makes a whole lot of sense would have a threat like this that just happened in london. there's times for scolding and identifying problems and wringing our hands commits overa whether it's north korea or radical islamist threats. the trump administration at president trump himself has made it very clear that were not jusa going to talk about stuff and identify problems, were actually good to have some solutions. >> tucker: thank you a lot for joining us tonight. up next, the president and the speaker of the house paul ryan are teaming up now to try and pass the repeal and obamacare and replace it with something else.

will they pulled off? will talk to some of the congressman they've beenen pressuring to support it after the break, stay tuned. the

>> it's close enough because it's close for politics. everybody knows it's so good, it's only politics because we have a great bill. i think we have a very good chance. >> tucker: president trump and house speaker paul ryan had been pushing hard to get the republican party behind their proposed replacement, they might not manage it, the vote was canceled at the last minute, congressman of arizona has faced heavy pressure to support thes bill he joined us tonight, thanks for coming on. are you going to support this bill? >> it looks like it's going in a

better direction, the freedom caucus has prevailed in getting a very critical amendment that will be going on tonight or early in the morning.he only time will tell. i remain undeclared so that we maximize our capability to influence the bill in the right direction up to the very end. i have to leave it there but iil will tell you, i'm just grateful for the freedom caucus and their willingness to go at it as long as they have. some people call it acrimony but it's just creative tension and it makes things happen sometimes and you wish it would be easier but it isn't. >> tucker: what are the knocks against obamacare and i certainly thought it was legitimate that there was no real public debate about what was in it, famously you had to vote for it before you found out what was in it and that's not a good way to make law that applies to the entire country but that's how the law is being made here, do you see the irony? >> the truth is this has been far more -- i was there when obamacare was past seven years ago, i lost my voice trying to fight obamacare. there was no openness, no

amendments allowed, nothing. the leadership has allowed open discussion and the president has been more involved in more hands-on than any president i've seen in history and my 15 years in congress. i'm impressed with some of the things that happened, i wish the bill could be better. here's the untold story and it's hard to articulate but it's so true and i challenge the media to understand this better. we were having to put this to the byrd rule in the senate for one reason. the senate rules won't allow itw to bring it to the floor, evenen bring it to the floor of the senate under regular order.br we can't get the people involved in the debate and we have no real leverage against democrats that would --eo >> tucker: i understand that and you're being blocked at every turn, it does remind me of one of those dreams you have show up to school and you forgot to study. seven years to think through what you should replace obamacare and literally the details are not settled now and the vote as a supposedly tomorrow. >> that's not quite true. we had a motion to commit,

recommit the bill the very day that it passed, we had an republican alternative and we've had several bills past severalco years that i've signed onto, dr. price is a bill. t we've had alternatives but none of them will fit through the byrd rule. it's trying to shove a camel through a keyhole, he's a little worse for wear on the other side. the truth is we only have four ways to pass a bill, we have to repeal the laws of mathematics f or we have to get eight democrat senators to vote with us which is harder to repeal the laws of mathematics or we have to change the senate rule or at least we should change the first filibuster or we have to run it through reconciliation and at this byrd rule.ha it makes it so a possible and there's no accountability that puts paul ryan and the impossible position of trying to struggle and do what his base wants him to do but what the rules will not allow him to do. >> tucker: he is in a tough -- i agree with you there. good luck.

up next, if you notice congress is working on the health care bill but what about the immigration bill? not a coincidence, will tell yo, what exactly is going on, stay tuned. not a coincidence, will tell you what exactly is going on, stay tuned. tomorrow's the day we'll play something besides video games. every day is a gift. especially for people with heart failure. but today there's entresto... a breakthrough medicine that can help make more tomorrows possible. tomorrow, i want to see teddy bait his first hook. in the largest heart failure study ever, entresto was proven to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading heart failure medicine. women who are pregnant must not take entresto. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. if you've had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine,

don't take entresto. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. tomorrow, i'm gonna step out with my favorite girl. ask your doctor about entresto. and help make the gift of tomorrow possible.

houses obamacare replacement bill tonight. members r were supposed to voten every news outlet in america is covering this of course, the drama of it, but that coverage isov obscuring a deeper truth about what's going on a capitol hill, more precisely about what's not going capitol hill. not much is happening there, most initially, the g.o.p. majority might not even bother to introduce a series immigration bill isen here. president trump ran on a promise to control the border and reform the immigration system, so it

reflects the interest of middle-class americans and not out of the big employers in the donor class. his most prominent position. he won the november election because of that position. but to fulfill the promise, he needs help with congress and you have to move fast because republicans control both chambers after today. there's no guarantee that will be the case two years foray now. as you look around, there's no urgency at all. pick three stennett staffers out and ran to see if anm immigratn bill is coming anytime soon. they may look at the 4-inch of their feet and mumble, what they won't say is yes. they know a meaningful immigration bill might notea be coming and why would it? many republican senators prefer mass immigration. the people who fund their campaigns profit from it. their families and friends don't see a downside to it. they are not affected by chaotic public schools or filthy emergency rooms or falling wages at all. there's not a lot of incentive to change the status quo but there are definitely risk, social ones anyway. for real borders, you might have to endure being called a racist by some 27-year-old blogger about speed. that's terrifying to members of

the senate. so if you want to make good on your promise to mike president will have to make congress online there's only one way to do's that, fear. his most primal of all emotions that is the most effective motivator note to politics. if the president wants immigration, the white house ought to represent its plan and a real plan with details, explain what it is, why it works, how it will make the american middle class stronger than it already is, and then wheeled with a stick. make it plain that if republican members of congress won't back that bill, the white house will support primary efforts than those who will back the bill. that will work. nothing else will. that's it for us tonight. to end every night at 9:00 to the show that is the sworn enemy of wine, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. don't forget to dvr if you don't already. sean hannity is up next and that promises to be a fascinating show with chairman devin nunes on it. a have a good night. we will see youthn tomorrow.

♪ >> sean: thanks, welcome to "hannity," this is a fox news alert. house intelligence committee chairman, monica crowley, lou dobbs will all be here in just a few minutes. tonight, james rosen is reporting that sources are now telling fox news that there is potentially a smoking gun that proves the obama administration spied on the trump team. but first, a vote to repeal and replace obamacare in the house of representatives has now been postponed until tomorrow, we know there's a lot of anger, a lot of frustration in washington around the country. unless we learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it. right here on this program, i have promised you that i will hold washington accountable and tonight, we are doing just that. wh
