and lifelong &a of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink. sean hannity is next, we'll bring you a weeklong series of opioid addiction. we'll see you then. ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity," my monologue will be coming up in the next segment. preview of her close of interview with president trump. we have a lot of news breaking all over the world tonight so we begin with the entity news with, joining us first with more on secretary rex tillotson's trip to russia is rich edson, he's in moscow tonight, rich. >> good evening, in about 12 hours, secretary of state rex tillerson is scheduled to meet with russian foreign minister sergey lavrov gary rough. he says he has a choice for the russian government, join the united states, the west and

middle eastern countries to find a way to transition syria from bashar al-assad of the president to a democracy or russia can continue to support assad, iran, and hezbollah. he also offered his strongest declaration thus far on the future of bashar al-assad. >> i think that it's clear to all of us that the reign of the assad family is coming to an end. the question of how that ends in the transition itself could be very important. >> international efforts on that front have language for years, only a couple of hours before the secretary of state landed in moscow, russian president vladimir putin addressed the country, he denied assad used chemical weapons, said he wants the united nations to launch an investigation into last week's attack, the attack that prompted last thursday and said he believes russian intelligence shows that assad was framed in that effort. whether he says that's directly to the secretary of state tomorrow is still up for question as the kremlin has been saying there is no official meeting yet scheduled between

secretaries tillerson and the russian president. sean. >> thanks so much for joining us, we appreciate it. joining us now from turkey with more on the situation is our own benjamin hall, with the latest there? >> yesterday, the u.s. said if the assad regime used more chemical weapons or dropped a barrel bombs that could cause more u.s. strikes on syria. that's exactly what they did dropping barrel bombs on and our profits, these are weapons decided to kill. explosive, shrapnel, oil and nails dropped on hospitals per day have killed tens of thousands of people. if assad wants to find a betterr way of antagonizing the u.s. on this day he couldn't have found one. also today here we spoke toy members of the free syrian army backed by the u.s. at a safe house in turkey. we spoke to someone who actually came from the town bombed by the chemicals, they said of the attacks have galvanize the

people have a listen. >> life there is desperate now but the attacks have made a few more determined to fight the regime and protect our towns. but we need more help. >> but help, they need a flight no-fly zone over the skies ande antiaircraft weapons which the u.s. has category so that when i get to the rebels. >> sean: thank you, earlier today our own maria sat downha with president trump in an interview it will air tomorrow in its entirety on the fox business network. here's a quick preview. >> when you were with the president of china, you are launching these military strikes, was that planned? how did that come about that it's happening right then? right there you are saying a reminder, here's who the superpower in the world's? >> you have no idea who want to hear the answer to this? i have watched speculation on three days now what that was like. >> i will tell you, i was sitting at the table, we had finished dinner, we are now

having dessert. we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you have ever seen. i was given the message from the generals that the ships are locked and loaded, what do you do? we made a determination to do it. so the missiles were on the way. >> sean: joining me now the host of mornings with maria, congratulations on a big exclusive. let's start with what the president told you about syrian president assad and how he had to do something after being motivated by seeing those pictures of dead children, victims of that chemical attack, here's what happened. >> he is backing a person that is truly an evil person. i think it's a very bad for russia, i think it's a very bad for mankind.

it's very bad for this world. when you drop gas or bombs or barrel bombs, these massive barrels with dynamite and they drop them right in the middle ot a group of people, in all fairness you see the same, no arms, legs, no face. this is an animal. i will tell you that when i looked at the pictures, especially when you see them on television, when you see these beautiful kids that are dead in their father's arms or you see kids gasping for life and you know it's over for them, they are hosing them down. hundreds of them. when you see that, i immediately called general mattis. i said what can we do? they came back with a number of different alternatives. we hit them very hard. now, are we going to get involved with syria? no. but if i see them using gas and using things that -- even some of the worst tyrants in the world didn't use the kinds of gases that they used.

some of the gases are unbelievably potent. when i saw that i said we had to do something. >> sean: obviously the president was very emotionally moved by those images. also if you paid close attention to his campaign rhetoric, he wants to fight terror, he doesn't want occupation and he didn't want troops on the ground. he seemed to reiterate all of that to you in that interview, give us some more background and color as to what he was also saying. >> president trump knows exactly who the evil actors are in the world. i was very impressed in terms of his knowledge of what's happening in that part of the world and who is behind it. the truth is that many generals and military people out there no that former secretary john kerry did advocate doing something, limited to military action in syria. president obama time and time again rejected it. he did not want to do any military strike in syria.

president trump saw those pictures, saw what was really happening on the ground and moved. that's why he had broad support all around the world for those moves. i will say this, those sound bites that you ran when he said this is an evil man and russia is backing an evil person. that was in response to my question to the president. asking him if, in fact, our relationship, the u.s. relationship with russia has been damaged by this move.e. he said i don't know. but i will say this, this is an evil man and russia is backing an evil person.l i would say to you as rex tillerson meets with mr. lab y rough in russia, he has more leverage, he goes into that meeting with more leverage because the world agrees with president trump. in terms of what he just did, ht made it very clear he does not want to get in some long-term entanglement in syria. having said that, he is going to take an action, make a move when he sees this done on humanity.

that's where he stands, he woule not commit to what happens next. we know that because he's never going to tell you exactly where what he's thinking and put their plan out there on the table. he definitely felt strongly in terms of this was something that he needed to act, the u.s. needed to be up front on. >> sean: for eight months we've had this media conspiracy theory being pushed and advance without any evidence whatsoeverh of collusion between russia and the trump campaign, perhaps thae vladimir putin had information that would be compromising to then candidate and then president-elect trump. now he's president and he drew a really strong line in the sand that should put that to rest. let me ask you because of courss we have more saber rattling from kim jong he's preparing for war with the united states, you ask him about that, let's play that clip.pa

>> you redirected navy ships to go to the korean peninsula what are we doing right now in terms of north korea?o >> you never know, do you? i don't talk about the military, i'm not like obama with a talk about it in four months, we're going to hit mosul in the meantime they get ready and you never say it -- you're still fighting most of commit was supposed to last for a week ands now they've been fighting it for many months. i don't want to talk about it. we are sending an armada, very powerful. we have submarines very powerful. far more powerful than the eircraft carrier that i can tell you. we have the best military people on earth. i will say this. he is doing the wrong thing. >> do you think he is mentally fit? >> i don't know, i don't know him. he's doing the wrong thing. >> sean: what's fascinatingoi about this is he's not backing down, i get the overall

impression between what he is saying, even isis and some of these other groups are saying, they are use to have very different america, a weak america, america that's not going to respond or will draw a red lines it is mean it. i think the world's understanding that this is a very different country today. >> i think the era of leading from behind is over. president trump is basically showing the world that he will act when necessary. i don't see him wanting to get into a protracted entanglement here. he's got our navy ships right there so that north korea understands we are here, we are ready, we are not going to sit back if, in fact, there are atrocities committed. that's the bottom line. i think it's so interesting that he launches those military strikes while he's with the president of china.

you saw how it was all done and what he said about it. at the end of the day, what did he say to china as well. >> sean: china seems to bebe acquiescing on trade issues, w certainly opening up that door. within what he said during the campaign, he will fight terror, doesn't believe in occupation. certainly doesn't want troops on the ground and seems to be standing by that. very important question you asked on the advantages of doing health care before his economic plan, let me play that and get a quick response. >> we're going to have a phenomenal tax reform, i have to do health care first to do it right. >> do you have to do health care before tax reform? when i say with business managers as a tax form is so much more impactful to moving the needle on economic growth. >> i'm saving a tremendous amount, hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on health care. we're going to have a much better better plan than obamacare which is failing. >> sean: alluded to the

trillion dollars of savings if he is able to accomplish health care first. >> that's exactly right, he's committed to tax cuts whatever it takes. he wanted to start the taxcutting plan without trillion dollars which of course is in place because obamacare taxes. a trillion dollars in taxes. >> sean: very timely interview and great questions, will be watching in the morning. that starts tomorrowre morning, 6:00 a.m. on the fox business network. coming up next tonight, russian president vladimir putin is pushing bizarre, wild conspiracy theories that america is going to fake a new chemical weapons attack in syria. that's nothing compared to what the ultraleft particle propaganda media is claiming about president trump. our opening monologue is coming up next, monica crowley is will be here with reaction and also tonight. >> for those that continue to seek improper and illegal entry into this country, be forewarned. this is a new era. this is a trump era. >> sean: attorney general jeff

sessions announced a crackdown on illegal immigration while visiting our southern border today.>> he'll join us later with the details, that and much more on this busy news addition ofof "hannity." heigh! ho!

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity," the ultra radical left, their cronies in the detroit trump media, they're now sounding like vladimir putin when pushing their fake news conspiracy theories. the radical left is in complete meltdown mode and we are going to expose them, that's tonight's monologue. >> sean: earlier today, the head of secretary of state rex tiller sends a trip to moscow, russian president vladimir putin started running with the wild claim that the united states of america is somehow going to fake a new chemical weapons attack in syria to justify further military action fromak president trump. that sounds completely nuts, right? because it is. the ultra radical left just right trump media have repeatedly been pushing this same types of insane conspiracy theories. watch what it's supposed to be called news, nbc and others. >> wouldn't it be nice if it was just completely totally, absolutely impossible to suspect

that vladimir putin orchestrated what happened in syria this week so that his friend in the white house could have a big night with missiles and all of the praise he's picked up over the last 24 hours. wouldn't it be so nice if you couldn't even in your wildest dreams imagine a scenario like that. >> wouldn't be great if we coull go back to wag the dog being a sitcom plot. >> i'll say it again, this russian connection just keeps building and every time but builds an expense you have to wonder if trump himself isn't worried about what's swirling around under the covers. >> cnn has learned new detailser into the fbi investigation to potential links into individuals associated with a trump campaign in the russian government. >> a federal judge found that people in trump's organization were colluding with the russians >> was there somebody inside

the trump campaign who was working with them and to the president know about that, and were they successful. >> sean: cute twilight zone it's pathetic. what we have now is over the top line, bazaar, novel like conspiracy theories and the advancing of some of the most insane, craziest stories you have probably ever heard.. it's unhinged and more proof of how completely biased these people really are. that has not stopped democrats in congress from doing the exact same thing. b they are as nutty as their friends in the media.. take a look at what dominic seth mullen said about president trump's decision to restrict syria, watch this insanity. >> one exception does not prove the rule, this could very well be interpreted as an intent by the administration to get out from under the claim that they are colluding with russia. >> sean: what's clear is thell

ultra radical left are ignoring the truth and the facts. the media has been pushing without one scintilla of evidence this false narrative of president trump colluding with the russians. this goes against what the former director of national intelligence james clapper, the fbi director james comay, the nsa director admirable mike rogers have all been saying, there is zero proof of the trump russia collusion, they keep talking about for eight months. watch the truth. >> you have no intelligence t that suggests any votes were changed. >> i have nothing generated by the national security agency. >> director comay do you have any evidence in the fbi that any votes were changed. >> no. >> first we cannot say they did not change any vote tallies of

anything of that sort. we had no way of gauging the impact that the intelligence community can't gauge the impact they had on the choices the electorate made. >> sean: may be the destroyt trump media shouldd actually listen to what all those top government officials have been saying and try to report truth for once instead of these conspiracy theories. if the media wants to talk aboua interfering in an election, thee should go back at a focus on what the obama administration tried to do to the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu back in 2014. a congressional investigation did find that an israeli political group used over 300,000 taxpayer dollars from the obama state department in a grant to actually create a political apparatus to defeat our best ally israel, prime minister netanyahu. i've been saying since 2008, journalism is dead but the

partisan press is now taking it to a new bazaar conspiracy low. they have become unhinged because they are so locked into the world of hating trump and a trump derangement syndrome they are doing everything in their power to destroy him. there is no doubt tonight that unbiased news is dead and buriet with very few exceptions. joining us now with reaction, conservative commentator monica 's crowley. this isn't even funny anymore. this is like off the charts, loony, play the twilight zone, crazy bazaar conspiracy theories there advancing every hour ofli every day. >> you play that clip from vladimir putin talking about the americans are going to launch yet another fake chemical attack. the russians have long been masters of propaganda and disinformation and allies. but so has the american left. what you just laid out there is them doing the work of our enemies for us.ng

we've had a conversation about a month ago about the campaign to delegitimize donald trump. that could actually fight back and manage. what is happening is a multi-front war against this president. from the mainstream media, from the international community, from the deep state, from every possible angle. what i said at the time wasn't donald trump was able to smash 16 republican pros during the campaign, smash the obama machine, smash the clinton machine and to become president. if he can withstand this as president because this is a completely different ball game.. >> sean: how does nbc float theory that vladimir putin told assad to launch a small chemical attack that was big enough to attract media attention, and prompt president trump into launching a missile strike which would then change the topic of russian collusion and meanwhile

right now, russia is threatening to fight back against, syria is threatening to fight back against us and rex tiller's in lecture and publicly about possible collusion and incompetence of putin. >> if you look at what the left campaign has been from thehe start, it's been the allegations of russian collusion that persisted despite no evidence. it's the constant onslaught of fake news, it's the lies, it's the smears and they have the amplification of the media echo chamber to carry these messages. for the left it doesn't matter if it isn't true. anyone with common sense knows that what you just laid out is false and defamatory attack on the president. for the left, it's not about the facts. it's about injecting into the bloodstream these kinds of theories, these because of allegations. >> sean: this is almost pathological at this point. the very same people that were so upset that people wanted barack obama to show his birth certificate, that's racism and

dog whistles. >> we should call them putin's, this is not defending the birther theory, this is saying this is what they do. they go out there and we should turn the tables on them.y, call them a russian nurse, putin nurse, create a narrative against this president. once the russia story line disappears which eventually it will because at least as of now there has been no evidence thatd anybody has been able to produce, once that story line is over, they will find another one. this is just the beginning of the war against president trump, >> sean: donald trump has been invaded by aliens and aliensns controlled his mind and actions. that may not be too far off. good to see you. up next night on this busy news night here on "hannity." >> for those that continue to seek improper and illegal entry into this country, be forewarned.

this is a new era. this is a trump era. >> that was the attorney generas at the southern borderth announcing new measures to crack down on the illegal immigration. he will join us next and also tonight, former obama administration national security advisor susan rice has been caught in several lies, lying to the american people. will she finally be held accountable, laura ingraham is there tonight to weigh in on that and so much more as we continue on "hannity" we continue on you know who likes to be in control? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator. ah! still a little tender.

and ushered in a new era of border security and law enforcement. the trump administration has had a tough job ahead of them. according to pew research and their center, half of all 2014 federal arrests were for immigration related offenses. joining us now with details to enforce the border is attorney general jeff sessions. i've been down to the border probably about 12 or 14 times. i've been there when criminals are arrested, i've been drug warehouses, helicopter, horseback, boats, all-terrain vehicles, i've seen it up close and i've seen tunnels dug up from mexico to san diego. what exactly is going a to chane and how quickly will it change? >> it's already changing, can you believe that we've had the lowest number of interest in the border in 17 years? this is a direct result of donald trump's strong, clear leadership. it has an impact, the most

important thing to us is to send a message to the world that the border is not open, please don't come, you will be apprehendedhif you do, and you will be deported promptly. if you're a criminal, you will be prosecuted. if you will salt our officers were going to connect you with a ton of bricks. this is the kind of message we need to send it's already being sent. it's having a dramatic impact so far. i knew strong presidentialal leadership unlike the wishy-washy and as we've in the past would impact the flow but not as much as we've seen already, the numbers are down 70% since president obama left office. it's really remarkable achievement. >> there was a report today that congress when they get to their budget may not be funding the border wall. this was a key part of the president's agenda and narrative

during the campaign. will that happen? will the president not be a part of any builder did not fund that wall? >> i know he's going to battle for that and i believe he will d get funding for the wall, i can't imagine congress to deny him that. it doesn't have to of the entire 1700 border, we know that. we need a wall, a barrier multiplies the ability of our border patrol and customs officers to be effective. they tell me that and i know they've told you that in the past. this is the way to go, if we follow through on this, we can secure this border. it will be a historic thing and something that the border patrol and our i.c.e. officerso and our customs people are really excited about. you remember, they were so frustrated to the eve of the even sued obama leadership and endorsed donald trump in thiso election. i think their morale is up and that's a part of our success too. >> sean: the president ever get to tell those people to ignore the law?

why do i expect that i was ignoring the law, they would handcuff me perp walk make him a fingerprint to me and mom shoot me, send it out all over the world. last question, sanctuary cities. criminal aliens, catch and release that's only thing of the past, correct? >> we are going to go after the century city's first and foremost, we're going to urge them to protect the safety of the people in their cities. do not release dangerous criminals into the community when the law says they are to be deported. there are a lot of things thatin we can do to help protect safety in this country. we are going to stay at it. we are going to back up ouro law enforcement officers, we are going to prosecute those who assaulted them.aw were going to prosecute the people they catch in court and we are going to send a message that the criminality is over. c >> sean: i'm glad you went down there today, there's nothing like seeing it up close

and that's why i went down there at least a dozen times, thank you. coming up, former obama administration official susan rice has been exposed time and time again for the lying is not telling the truth. if she ever going to be heldld accountable, will ask laura ingraham, that's coming up next. also later, the ceo of united airlines has finally apologized after major fallout over that viral video of a passenger beina dragged out in the aisle and removed from a flight. larry elder and mercedes schlapp will weigh in and the "hannity" hotline all as we continue. wh- ah- he- [gas pouring] [slurps loudly]

misrepresentation of the facts or lies. "washington post" giving rice the for pinocchio's over the remarks you just heard. to her comments now about chemical weapons, why isn't susan rice at the center of nearly every single big obama administration lie? do up a sketch of the bottom of it, editor-in-chief national syndicated radio host, laura ingraham is with us. bergdahl didn't serve with honor and distention, the five sunday shows, than the chemical weaponr we've just heard and lied about i know nothing about surveillance and i'm asking, she lies with regularity, he can't trust a word that comes out of her mouth. >> susan rice has become the congenital liar of the obama administration and when they when "the washington post" in "the new york times" both have to admit that this has become something of a pattern with her, specifically as it relates h to

syria, you know it's now gotten to be a bit much. you do wonder at some point, why was there never why was there never any price to be paid for going out on those sunday shows and telling untruths after untruth. the obama administration never really held anyone to account. van jones come out was that the only person they ever fired? they reassigned other people in the state department. susan rice always had a get out of investigation, get out of jail, get out of accountability cards. she always seem to be able to skate. >> sean: why don't we do that with everybody? clinton foundation, 20% of the uranium, kickbacks. we never follow up unless your name is scooter libby, then we will follow up.. >> it's so idiotic because of

john kerry had already said that they couldn't verify in fact all the weapons had been removed and destroyed. that was part of his outgoing memo to the president. in april of 2016 it had been written about that it wasn't all that clear that they had been able to remove these stockpiles. even on the facts as they are publicly reported, susan rice either isn't paying attention or doesn't care about the truth. and the other stuff we know she decided to take one for the team. >> sean: what about all the lying going on in the media right now? i know nbc slants left but there's a difference between slanting left with a story to cover or choose to cover or don't cover versus a bizarre conspiracy that putin told asada to launch a small chemical weapons attack because he wants to distract and help his buddy trump get off the russia

collusion story with the campaign. this is no nbc advancing this bizarre conspiracy. it's like they are literally spiraling down in front of our eyes because they can't accept the reality that hillary lost this campaign. >> i think they've never been able to accept it because it embarrassed so many of their pundits, so many of their reporters who really were caught napping during much of the campaign were so biased, all the revelations about collusion at cnn with the dnc, everything we've learned about how the media operated just over the past year and a half has been a complete and utter embarrassment. >> sean: how does this" mark where as is" to mark >> i think this ends with networks like fox becoming even more popular, independent journalists who don't have an extra guide either way one side or another.

become more influential and people are going to pick and choose where they want to get their news. the idea that people are going to want to turn on nbc and really discern the true debate of the united states. to watch nbc you would think no one lived in between los angeles and new york city. you wouldn't think there was any middle part of the country for the most part in the way they report politics with rare exceptions. >> sean: thank you as usual, up next, tonight, right here, on "hannity." w [shouting] >> sean: the ceo of united airlines finally has apologized over intense outraged over a passenger literally being dragged out of the aisle off the flights. larry elder and mercedes schlapp with reaction, as "hannity"he continues >> sean: welcome back to

after nearly two days of widespread ridicule andgn noticeable decline in united stock earlier in the day, the company ceo finally issued an apology writing in part by an deeply apologize to the customer forcibly removed and to all the customers aboard, no one should ever be mistreated this way. joining is now nationally syndicated radio host larry elder. this is the dumbest thing, this is so dumb. they offered another ticket, a free tickets. if you have no takers and you go for tickets. you go eight tickets, age tickets and a four-star hotel, eight tickets and four-star hotel and $5,000 pending. now they're going to have to pay millions because this guy is going to sue the pants off them and their stock is in the tank. how could you be that dumb? that's what i'm trying to figurh out. >> it is so easily solvable, all you have to do is jack up the goodies to get the four people off the plan.

what i'm hearing is that they want overbooked, they wanted to bump for people off, that's what really happened. this has been an absolute disaster, the stock is down 1%. the ceo apologizes and then sends a statement of support to the employees and then apologizes again. i'm sure they have a crisis consultant apparently they are not listening. >> sean: i just don't understand in this dayay and ag, you know the other said part of this story is okay now the media as great as they are, they're trying to trash this poor guy. he had problems ten years ago, it's nobody's business, he wasn't misbehaving. why didn't they just offer up the ante until somebody says i'll get off. >> i really believe the ceo oscar manuals should resign.

clearly this half apology that he gave and then sending this email off to the employees basically saying i'm standing with you and then having to apologize again. this is a guy, supposedly honored as a communicator of the year. he has become a public relations disaster. he would've failed a class. the other part of it is think we travel with our kids. what if it had been me or a mother or kids watching their mother being dragged out of there. united airlines is our goal is to have a positive experience for the customer. they failed miserably on this. >> sean: you've got to know iney this day and age, everybody is videotaping it. here's the thing. if you offer enough to get incentives to give people a reason to get off that flight, take another flight, you offer g

them seats to anywhere they want to travel, spend the money, at some point, i'm raising my hand and say i'll take that deal. >> at some point i'm raising my hand. it works in reverse, remember when ronald reagan got to the gas line he let the price go to the markets. at some point for individuals would have said i can see grandma tomorrow. i can make this trip a little bit later on. i don't have to be in tonight.or i can do it to the next day. at some point for individuals would have said yes. >> united airlines made several mistakes. make those offers before the passengers board on the airplane. they were kicking people off to put their employees on that airplane. couldn't they have found another flight to put on their employees? they picked their employees over their customers. customer service and bad p.r. >> whatever they would have

spent on extra flights, hotels, even spending money is going to be pennies on the dollar by the time that saul gets settled. >> he's probably all lawyered up rightt now. you don't pull somebody out, you just don't. i was surprised nobody stepped in and said guys, slow down let's talk about this. >> why didn't somebody say take my seat, don't drag this guy off, nobody did that. >> if mercedes was getting dragged out i would've jumped up and given out my seat. >> i would've hoped someone would have stopped the chaos. when you have the white housee and the celebrities on the same page, this is a disgrace with the united airlines did, you know you're in trouble. >> sean: coming up next, very important questions of the day.
