tomorrow at 9:00 eastern. sean hannity is up next. coming out you, sean. >> sean: thanks to all my friends at "the five." by the way, tucker, "the five," they all debuted number one in their timeslots last night. congratulations to them all. welcome to "hannity." a very busy newsnight on this very busy "newsweek" ." first, the alter radical left propaganda destroyed trump media has been out to destroy president trump but also anybody who dares to support him and his policies. that is tonight very important opening monologue.

it's no secret that the alt radical destroyed trump media is completely biased, agenda driven, lazy, ideological. they are incapable of actually delivering honest news coverage to you, the american people. they helped elect american obama. they collude with the clinton campaign. and we know that they are on a mission to take down president trump. simply put, they want him thrown out of office. impossible, and put in jail. since they won't stop until that happens, now the destroyed trump media is advancing their attack and targeting outlets and people and individuals who refused to push their biased talking points and fall in line with their agenda. they hate fox fox news, talk r, they hate any conservative who supports this president and it supports its policies. their goal right now is this shut down and completely silent what they see as opposition.

it has evolved into what i call media fascism. last night i told you that i have become the target of a smear and slander campaign. the alt radical destroyed trump media weakly and immediately picked up on all the smears and lies, it spread like wildfire all around the country despite the fact that these allegations were completely false. the individual who made them quickly recanted these bogus claims but the destroyed trump media wanted a cheap headline. a simple, basic fundamental google search would have ended the witch hunt against me. these lazy journalists -- if they did that, they would have discovered this individual has , serious, severe credibility issues and has targeted and tried to slander me for well over a decade. this isn't about me or any individual. it so much bigger. it's about silencing every single conservative voice in the country. now the seeds of this have

already been planted. the destroyed trump media viciously attacked then candidate trump and now president trump. one example? take a look at these disgusting examples. >> surprising since i just assumed he was running as a jok. >> we better be ready for the fact that he might be leading the republican ticket. [laughter] >> i know you don't believe that. i want to go on. >> which republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election? >> of the declared ones? right now, donald trump. [laughter] >> i understand where you're coming from. i understand why you like him. this man is lying to you. >> trumps critics, those who are worried about this president and this white house, saw a live spt brought to you by narcissism,

thin skin, chaos and deeply personal grievances. >> this was a white lash. he white lash against a changing country. a white/against a black president in part. and that is the part where the pain comes. >> he said today -- -- >> this is a very bad night for the country. you can't polish this. >> what if you called him a fake president? >> if it wasn't so serious, it would be funny. these media passes have been going off on president trump since november 9th. he refuses to sit back and take it. he has been fighting back at everything that has been thrown at him. obviously this is frustrating to the destroyed trump media and since they can't take down the big prize, president trump, they are now redirecting some of their attacks and targeting every white house advisor.

even the first lady. members of the president's family. his daughter, even his 10-year-old son is a target. tonight it is time to label what we are seeing -- what it really is. i call it media fascism. joining us with reaction, fox news contributor, do you have any more titles? laura ingraham. >> i have a couple in mind. i'm working on it. it's a family show. >> sean: you can say anything on this show. >> sean: wow here is my point on this. you have been in the public eye, we've basically been -- we have come up the ranks together, if you will. i have broad shoulders. i've been called everything. >> hand the day, that is just by me. >> sean: [laughs] it doesn't even bother me. i'm like no, maybe it should. maybe i have a missing chip. but this is more serious.

every minute of your talk show, every minute you are on the sho show, they are hoping you say something wrong and then they can boycott you, shut you down. an end your ability to give your opinion. that is media passes fascism. >> we are seeing this outbreak of liberal fascism. jonah goldberg wrote that book book -- >> sean: i have to give him credit. jonah goldberg gets it. well deserved. >> he wrote this book about how the history of the nationalist/socialist party was a history rife with intolerance of different viewpoints. it was also for big government programs. he wasn't saying it was exactly the same as a liberal intolerance today but you could really follow along the continuum of intolerance in

general. when they say that talk radio hosts are this and that, no. the true fascists who are operating today in this country are of a different variety than the old fascists of mo selena's day. they want to shut down debate on college campuses, what they're doing to ann coulter, milo, others. they are targeting people like you, talk radio shows, if they can put us out of business -- that their ultimate goal -- they won't have to bother having a debate on issues of policy that are important to the country. they are fresh out of ideas, all they have is the same playbook that frankly barack obama read from for eight years. all of his accolades continue to read from in the days we are seeing now. i am so glad you are on this issue and fighting back against it.

we all nd together. i don't care if you hate talk radio, like talk radio, i stand for everybody's right to have their views and opinions heard. try to keep it not profane but i respect people's rights to speak out. we can disagree but i would never shut down someone's right to speak in a public forum or on a college campus. that is so weak and lame. >> sean: it's so pathetic. this is what is so sinister and dangerous. it's well organized and funded. what a loser, they sit in their basement three hours a day monitoring every word you say on your radio show. me too. get a life, grow up. that's why i would never support never support boycotts. it's a roundabout way of silencing opposition. i will tell you a quick story. a friend of ours, going into the white house. i sent them an email saying please, no going in. they want this president

impeached, handcuffed, mug shot, perp walk, put in jail. but in the process they will have as much collateral damage. the more the merrier, of anybody around them. i advised this person to get a lawyer and understand all ethics rules. they will attack. i think i've been proven right and i am not paranoid. >> a sad fact. when you go to work for an administration that is under the microscope to the extent that this one is, everyone should be held into account and held to the top ethical standards, i am in favor of that but what we are seeing today is a pack and herd mentality to try to chew him up and spit him out and say, see, we were right. if you are at a high level, you have to think about lawyering up. everything you say could be

taken out of context. sliced, diced, the goal here is to intimidate. it is a noxious goal that the left has. they want to intimidate and silence good people from speaking out and speaking their minds. they do it at the local level and at school systems. they do it in sports. they do it at every level of corporate america today. they are trying to intimidate people from actually speaking their mind on subjects that are important. i say, the more the merrier for different points of view and let everyone have a fine, the zesty debate. let the chips fall where they may. that is the way america is supposed to work. >> sean: we will come back, more with laura ingraham after the break, coming up next. >> we definitely, desperately need the wall. we are going to have the wall built. i watch these shows with pendants in the morning. i do not know what they are talking about. the wall will be built.

>> sean: he says the border wall will be built. this is a federal judge blocking his executive order on sinks where he said he speared and also tonight. >> you would do your best to hold the seat open. >> absolutely. >> we are the party of opposition and that is our job. >> sean: 100 days in office. highlighting the unprecedented opposition from democrats. we will get reaction, kellyanne conway is here tonight. and later, ivanka trump speaks up at a women's forum. she gets booed and hissed at. the democrats seem to know no bounds. that, as we continue here on "hannity" ." when you're close to the people you love,

>> in case anybody has any questions, the wall is going to get built and the wall is going to stop drugs and a lot of people from coming and that should not be here. it will have a huge effect on human trafficking which is a tremendous problem in this world. a problem that nobody talks about but a problem that is

probably worse during this time then in the history of the world. the wall is going to get built. we definitely, desperately need the wall. we are going to have the wall built. the pundits in the morning, i do not know what they are talking about. the wall gets built. >> sean: this president is actually enforcing the law. that was the president earlier today saying yes, the border wall will be built. a federal judge in san francisco blocked the president's executive order to withhold money to sanctuary cities. we continue with laura ingraham. you know, i'm going to go through the list of accomplishments of the president and the next segment here. what's so interesting about this is we have a continuing resolution. democrats are trying to shut down the government on saturday. he says i will take funding for

the wall off the table. everyone is like he has given up on the wall. >> one thing i know for sure, sean, is that we have way too many people on capitol hill who aren't on the president's side on this issue. i'm talking republicans. i have no doubt in my mind that donald trump wants this wall to be built. congress has to appropriate the money. i heard over two months ago the g.o.p. leadership -- the most senior's senior senators -- thy were laughing at the idea that l would ever be built. out loud laughing. basically telling this source of mine, don't worry, it's never going to happen. they are actively working against the goal of this president, what was among his most popular pledges to the country. he pledged this over and over and over again, to rocket applause.

he is really aggressively pursuing, i'm so happy about it -- his agenda should be supported by the republicans on capitol hill. they couldn't find a billion dollars to put down a down payment? that's ridiculous. >> sean: obama as president, and they are still afraid of their own shadow when trump is president. i'm glad to hear the president so adamantly say we are building the wall. because if he doesn't fulfill that promise, i think that would be the equivalent of george herbert walker bush, read my lips, no more taxes -- >> they will kill him without. a republican challenger, if someone ever primaries, i am telling you. the republican leaders -- they don't want this wall to be buil built. >> sean: that brings me to my next criticism. they wanted the house in 2010, the senate in 2014, they were

not prepared when donald trump won. how they didn't have a health care bill -- my understanding is they now have one. thankfully the freedom caucus, the tuesday group, the saturday drinking group, the moderate caucus, they all came together and it looks like we have a deal. the president will sign it and then they will send it to the senate. the fact that they weren't prepared really annoys me. >> it's embarrassing. there is no way to spin this. democrats are levying a lot of unfair criticism against republicans. that is the way the game is played but this one is frankly a fair criticism. eight years later and the republicans are still messing around with the provisions and trying to figure it out. it looks juvenile. i am sorry. it looks like total mickey mouse club stuff. paul ryan -- i like him and all these people personally but you are it's supposed to be this big

legislative changes. you are supposed to know your caucus. >> sean: he never showed anybody the bill. and it then he is shocked, oh, i can't get the bill passed. it's beyond frustrating and at this bill frankly could have been better in its original rollout. why didn't he bring the caucus members in? why didn't he bring the tuesday study group people in? >> it was a cram down. they wanted to put so much pressure on these freedom caucus members, but they quake in their boots and quiver and say oh, god, we will do anything. >> sean: then of mark meadows has to fix the mess. are they going to do this on the budget tomorrow and every other agenda item? >> unless donald trump really personally gets involved to even a greater extent than he has already been involved, i think this will continue. they have to get them normal budgeting.

this is how much you get for defense, energy, you don't get a penny more. each department should have a budget and that is it. this continuing resolution is another embarrassing point of government for the united states of america. the republicans have no one to blame but themselves right now for it. >> sean: thank you for being with us. coming up on this busy newsnight, this busy "newsweek," kellyanne conway. also tonight... >> and so you would do your best to hold the seat open? >> absolutely. >> we are the party of opposition and that is our job. >> sean: the disturbing first 100 days of democratic obstruction and later, ivanka trump participates in a women forum in berlin. she talks about her father, she gets booed and hissed at. we will talk to ari fleischer and lisa boothe and the issue of

liberal fascism in general. my reaction to the left rushing in judgment and false accusations on me. that is coming up, straight ahead. if you've tried every pill on the shelf to treat your tough nasal allergies... ...listen up. unlike pills that don't treat congestion, clarispray covers 100 percent of your nasal allergy symptoms. clarispray. from the makers of claritin.

that had built his house once thout of straw.tle pig one day a big bad wolf huffed and he puffed and blew the house down. luckily the geico insurance agency had helped the pig with homeowners insurance. he had replacement cost coverage, so his house was rebuilt, good as new. the big bad wolf now has a job on a wind farm. call geico and see how easy it is to switch and save on homeowners insurance.

...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid.

do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing at mybreo.com. >> live from america's news headquarters. tense moments earlier today in the persian gulf. the guided missile having a close encounter with an iranian vessel. u.s. officials telling fox news the ship came within 1,000 yards of the u.s. navy. back in january, it was forced to fire warning shots during a similar encounter. and former national security advisor michael flynn may have violated federal law by accepting funds from a russian organization. that is according to the house republican and democratic lawmakers in charge of investigating russian meddling

in the u.s. election. the he was barred from accepting payments so his client to tell the intelligence agency about his planned trip to moscow. i am jackie ibanez, now back to "hannity" ." >> sean: welcome back to "hannity." president trump has been checking off promises off the list he has. take a look at the side of your screen. we are listing everything president trump has accomplished so far in his first 100 days. it appears he has no plans of slowing down. we are learning more about the tax reform plan but despite the president moving at lightning speed, democrats have done nothing but oppose them at every turn. the dnc put out an ad about democratic obstruction. let's take a look. >> so you would do your best to hold the seat open? >> absolutely. >> we are the party of

opposition and that is our job. >> i did not hear better ideas coming out of the democrats, they were just delaying and saying it was just wrong. >> he would not sit down with president trump? >> no. i am not going to sit down, i'm not going to go. >> we are not going to repeal the affordable care act. >> sean: i spoke to kellyanne conway, all right, kellyanne, great to see you. can you believe 100 days? you've got a lot of sleep, you relaxed. piece of cake. you are kicking up your feet. it is 5:00 in the afternoon. right? >> every moment has been worth it, sean. so much of it is a down payment of progress for the next 100.

the third executive orders, the pieces of legislation, the 13 congressional review acts. that's a great example of him just getting the government out of our lives, it's so intrusive, invasive, expensive and expansive. i think president george w. bush had done one and president trump obama had done zero, president trump has done 13. >> sean: neil gorsuch's was a huge promise. that's a huge promise kept. the fact the president worked the phones on all of these corporations, chrysler fiat, gm, carrier, and promising to invest so much in the country. getting rid of these regulations especially as it relates to coal, ending the war on coal. illegal immigration. now enforcing the laws, fighting against sanctuary cities. at the border wall. we saw what he did in syria, the

mother of all bombs. sanctioning iran, syria, and then setting the table for all these things. the media, if you listen to them, it's like he hasn't done anything in 100 days. >> so my people aren't listening to that. they are judging based on what they see. they see constant action, a constant move towards progress. keeping those campaign promises and doing the right thing. he has been incredibly responsive as commander-in-chief to but his response has been swift and resolute and that as a leader. what i would also point out, if you think about it in three big categories, prosperity -- he has done so many things, sean. he is about to do some more of his tax reform. it helps the job creators, the jobseekers and also the job holders.

the vast majority of american households are job holders. they are saying, when did the job no longer be enough for me to support my family? it's the regulation, taxation, all the hidden fees. the government thinking it knows best. safety and security. illegal boarding crossing down to a 17 year low as you said, our brave men and women at the border -- what he has done to the veterans, just last week signing into the law the choice act. veterans who can't get care at the va at a particular time can go to the private sector and access care. they will have better portals with safety and security. thirdly of course is accountability. he came to a town that a big swamp. lobbying band, this

transparency. it's really a remarkable for americans. >> sean: there seems to be a real flying in america's relationship with china as they put troops on the border in north korea, opening up the possibility of new trade deals with america, more favorable to us. then you have the saudi crown prince. king abdulla, general lcc. new -- if you watch the democrats. no solutions. all the people in poverty and on food stamps. that won't work with the president in any way, shape or form. my only frustration at this point is with the republicans in congress. the president is doing everything he can in my opinion. these guys, the house, senate, they wanted it and they aren't even ready for repealing and

replacing obamacare. that's frustrating for me. >> it is the first 100 days and they will continue to work together. >> sean: you are being nicer than me. >> i want to give a shout out to something that happened here today. the president -- he started this commission on opioids and drug addiction. he put governor chris christie as the chairman. and jared kushner worked very hard on this issue as well. we had bipartisan house and senate members come in and discuss the best practices, how to move forward for treatment and addiction prevention. >> sean: i know it means a lot to you. >> it is not just me. the country. i'm using it as an example of something that flies under the radar, its people just doing their work. have these democratic and republican house members and senators here, it's a bipartisan

solution. on health care? i'm glad congress has been working hard to come up with a better plan. one that will reduce premiums and truly repeals and replaces obamacare. at the white house can support as well. i think that is fantastic. others working really hard on tax reform with the president and vice president. all these things will happen in the next few months. they are happening -- it's difficult to digest. when they get change and revolution, it's hard for them -- >> sean: congress needs to wake up and move faster. they seem ill prepared for the moment. kellyanne, good to see you. >> i was slightly jealous of their two-week recess. >> sean: what? oh, yeah, i would love to weeks too. the all the radical left has had a new low. now going after ivanka trump, she gets booed and heckled at a women's forum in germany also

tonight... >> simplification, the average american should be able to do their taxes on a large postcard. >> sean: ahead of tomorrow's big announcement, steven mnuchin previews the president's tax reform plan. a massive corporate rate cut and a middle-class tax cut. that, and more on this busy newsnight, on this busy news week, on "hannity" ." 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.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity." at the alt radical left continues to go on to the attack. earlier today, ivanka trump was in germany for a women's summit. news outlets are reporting when ivanka praised her father for his advocacy on behalf of families, she was booed and even hissed at. really? >> that is something i'm very proud of, my father's advocacy. it long before he came into the presidency, but during the campaign and he has been a tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive. the new reality -- >> do you hear the reaction from the audience? >> sean: pretty unbelievable. they keep stooping to new lows and you would not believe how

many people rush to judgment about me this weekend. all the media had to do was google and they would have learned a lot of facts. here with reaction, ari fleischer and lisa boothe. are you kind of -- you kind of experienced a lot of hostility towards president bush. i don't remember laura bush being attacked by melania. i don't remember president bush's daughters being attacked, like barron -- i know his sons can handle it but -- anybody in the media like me or any conservative that supports the president. viciously attacked. is this worse than what you have lived through? >> by far, sean. remember when they went after

sarah palin's children too? it was very gracious of ivanka to go. she did it for the german chancellor, who asked her to go. the point was donald trump treated women as equals in the construction and business trade, a rough, tough business. if you are a woman in the trump organization, you could rise to the top through merit. she was booed. it tells you how much people don't like donald trump. they are not willing to even listen or give him a chance. >> sean: lisa, look, we were very critical of obama. i never went after his daughters. i did talk about his wife saying for the first time in my adult life i am proud of my country, which i found outrageous -- i can't really think of anything personal. this is different. a10-year-old kid viciously attacked. the daughter of the president,

the wife of the president. >> mind you, ivanka trump is an accomplished business woman in her own right. a large part of that is the fact that he has a disrupter. he has talked about bringing change to washington, d.c., he is not been afraid to take on his political opponents both internationally and here. that has not been met favorably by the left. we have seen the sort of ramped up vitriol and demagoguery from them as you pointed out, attacking ivanka trump and his sons, the administration. attacking everything and also violence we have seen. it remember on inauguration day? you were here in d.c., cars were set on fire. police officers were attacked. not to mention the fact that secretary of education betsy divorce was stopped from entering a public building. i think the left has big

problems on their hands with the escalation and shutting down of ideas they disagree with. this ramped up violence and rhetoric. >> sean: would i experience -- what i experience and what i think a lot of the attacks on fox news is about is they want to silence opposition. my point is, when people are paid to monitor every word i say when i am on the air, four hours a day, in the hopes that they can start a boycott and take me out -- that is a little scary. >> well, sean, i don't think you have anything to worry about in that regard. you keep doing your job and the public response and away a free market showed. that is why your show is as popular as it is. why did the leftists do it? the government is the be-all and end-all. without it, they can't advance. there is no justice, no society. as opposed to saying without the private sector, there is no

government, people don't advance. if they see conservatives who want to reboard in the village was him, they do nothing to stop it because the -- so long as the private sector is larger and more important, we are going to be fine. for the democrats, they cannot lose elections because that's the only way for america to be great. donald donald trump is a threato that. >> sean: president trump slated to unveil his tax reform plan tomorrow. herman cain, melissa francis will join us as reaction as we continue. you too, unnecessary er visits. and hey, unmanaged depression, don't get too comfortable. we're talking to you, cost inefficiencies and data without insights. and fragmented care-

stop getting in the way of patient recovery and pay attention. every single one of you is on our list. for those who won't rest until the world is healthier, neither will we. optum. how well gets done.

>> we have been clear with the president's objectives are for tax reform. middle income tax cuts, a priority of the president, simplification. the average american should be able to do their taxes on a large postcard. business tax reform. we need to make business taxes competitive and we expect with doing that, we will bring back trillions of dollars from offshore. >> sean: that was steven mnuchin yesterday giving a

preview of how president trump plans to overhaul and simplify america's tax system. earlier today, steven mnuchin and other top officials met with the president to go over his bold tax plan. here with reaction, herman cain and our friend, melissa francis. her brand-new book -- look at that cover. >> buy it, please! >> sean: the surprising secrets to happiness, success and sometimes, survival. you cover the economy. it might be a little higher depending on where it comes out budget wise, revenue neutral. that of course we have repatriation of money. then we've got energy independence. to me, this is the key to economic growth, success,

bringing those people off of poverty and food stamps. >> it's a great idea that 15% tax cuts -- no, the truth is, when you cut corporate taxes, it instantly frees up money for those companies to go out and hire more people. they can lower the prices of the goods we are buying here. it unleashes american economy and prosperity. the problem with supplying the tax code is they will take away everybody's favorite tax cut. everyone is going to have an objection to what is the thing in there that you care about? i care about the deduction for local and state taxes. when you simplify it, there will be little things in there that you are used to getting. >> sean: that double taxation taxation -- you've got your thing. >> sean: they take another 50%. >> i think the postcard idea is great. there is going to be surprises

in there for people when they go, wait a second, i was used to that deduction. it's great for the economy. a great policy. it is why he was elected. >> sean: herman, it is not quite 999. i don't mean this in a bad way. 100 years from now, it is going to say herman cain -- 999. everybody remembered it because it was simple. in the last eight years, we have another 13 million americans on food stamps, 8 million americans more in poverty. the lowest labor participation rate since he '70s. lowest home owner rate in 50 years. what is the quickest way to help these people? do you like these plans? >> melissa, i'm going to buy your book. let's get that off the table. i love this plan but i agree with everything melissa said because she is exactly right on. here is the challenge, sean. the democrats have gone beyond

demagogue gang whatever he puts on the table. they are going to lie about it. most americans don't go back and look at what happened in the decade of the '80s which proves that tax cuts work. simplification works. they are not going to look at that so the democrats are going to do what they usually do, they are not going to be demagogues, they are going to live and find something in president trump's proposal where they can poor people are going to be heard and rich people are going to help. they have the liberal media on their side. >> sean: that is why they would love to kill off fox news. that's to be anticipated. why is it $1,000,001? >> there is nothing he can do to get the media on his side as well. i have worked at other networks

-- the idea that everybody has an opinion, everybody has a point of view. they are not honest about it like you are. they don't come out and say where they come from. they pretend like they are neutral and it sit there and bash the plan and president. if you are neutral, you are not engaged or paying attention. how can you possibly not have an opinion on what is going on? i wouldn't trust you anyway. the american public knows the difference. that is why trump was elected. that is why did they know when they're watching you as well. it >> sean: people are intelligent. give them the benefit of the doubt. herman, anything you can add to this? i know you've been a big supporter, as i am also also, of the fair tax. >> i am. and of course i love 999. i suspect that this president is taking this step because he knows that the american people as well as the liberal media and the media aren't going to be

ready for a bold step. this is pretty bold. it would be even bolder to go to one of those other plans. here is what is going to get to his proposal across the finish line. the american people are going to have to let their congresspeople and their senators know that they support this plan. they need to hear from the american people about this plan. that would put pressure on squishy republicans, it's not going to change a lot of democrats but it would put pressure on squishy republicans to go along with this plan so they can pass it in the house and the senate and he can sign it. that will be the difference. >> sean: when we come back, we have a very important question of the day and yeah, the voice mails on the "hannity" hotline. straight ahead.

>> the question of the day.

so do you think the mainstream media is trying to destroy trump's presidency. i think it's obvious. let us know what you think. now it's time to play some of the messages. >> love your show i can't get enough and watch you on the show. a day without hannity is like a day without sunshine. thanks. >> i'm so happy you're fighting back. god bless you and keep up the good work. >> i'll take one night without the negative. one night. that was heart-warming. thanks to all of you for your kind words and support and more importantly open-mindedness and fairness to see facts for what they are. it means a lot.

want to call me. that's all the time we have left and we'll see you back here tomorrow night. >> this is a fox news alert. a federal judge in san francisco struck down the order targeting sanctuary cities. welcome to "tucker carlson." the order sought to deny federal funds to cities that actively resist immigration law and try to shield illeague illegal aliens and the ruling is a big win for now for the many mayors who vowed to resist federal immigration enforcement. >> to congress welcome. the actions by president trump turn on the head upside-down what we stand for.
