>> you are really there with the people. >> welcome back, jesse. never miss an episode of "the five." don't forget to set your dvr. "hannity" is up next. >> sean: thanks to our friends at "the five." a great debut week. welcome to "hannity." i want to welcome all of our friends from the alt left propaganda media. i suspect they are tuning in tonight. i may or may not have a thing or two to say before the show is over just for you. please stay tuned. joining us tonight is newt gingrich, laura ingraham and rick grenell. and the fox news specialists, our friend eric bolling. he will join us with reaction to an interview with the commander-in-chief. he is fighting back hard against the propaganda media. that's trying to destroy him.

hey, you guys in the media -- this opening monologue is written just for you. all right, so while members of the mainstream media gather this weekend in the posh washington, d.c., area for the white house correspondent dinne dinner, donald trump went to the people. he mocked the event and slammed some of these biased journalists who attended patting themselves on the back. >> enlarged group of hollywood actors -- [boos] >> and washington media are consoling each other in a hotel ballroom in our nation's capital right now. they are gathered together for the white house correspondents dinner without the president. and i cannot possibly be more

thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from washington's swamp. spending my evening with all of you. and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people. if the media's job is to be honest and tell the truth, and i think we would all agree the media deserves a very, very big fat failing grade. >> sean: that was amazing even though president trump skip to the correspondents dinner for good reason -- they don't like him. given that the story trump media is abusively biased coverage and never-ending smears and of course conspiracy theories against him, that didn't stop the liberals who attended the event from lashing out at the commander-in-chief. wow, this is predictable. watch this. >> we cannot ignore the rhetoric that has been employed by the president about who we are and

what we do. we are not fake news. we are not failing news organizations. and we are not the enemy of the american people. we've got to address the elephant in the room. the leader of our country is not here. and that's because he lives in moscow. it's very long flight. there also was another elephant in the room but donald trump shot him and cut off his tail. if you go after the administration, it would be petty, unfair and childish. in other words, presidential. but here we go. i get why donald trump didn't want to be roasted tonight. it's he's been roasting for thet 70 years. >> sean: interesting. it didn't just happen to the event. the destroyed trump media also went after the president for

holding a rally with the people. and escaping this ever per street is correspondents dinner. really? he supposed to go hang out with you, the elitists customer watch this. >> donald trump can take the heat so he left the kitchen. he avoided the correspondents dinner last night. >> i am in washington, d.c., because i attended the annual white house correspondents dinner and of course as you know, the head of that white house was not there. >> this is the most divisive speech i've ever heard from a sitting american president. >> he needs this affirmation because he is a moral midget and deeply insecure person. >> he is still screwing us and is still saying to hell with you guys. >> aren't these perfect examples of what i've been pointing out to you? >> sean: just how biased this destroy trump media is? the mainstream media utterly

despises president trump, dripping from every word they say, they can't stand him and in the end, they would rather throw him out of office. they also want to destroy anybody else like me, anybody in the media that dares agree with him and supports him. as we have seen time and time again, trump will not sit back and let these attacks go unchallenged. he will call out the extreme bias including right to their faces. this is fun. you've got to love it. >> i think actually i've been the fake media. -- mainstream media, sometimes i must say is you. >> me personally? >> love your show. i call it deface the nation. it's not always correct. >> sean: really funny. joining us with reaction. former speaker of the house, newt gingrich.

there is such a huge divide. i don't think in my lifetime -- you would hate it, by the way. i remembered the newt gingrich that stole christmas. he went through an awful lot, a lot of battles with the media. wrinkly it seems like kindergarten compared to how vicious this effort to take him down, delegitimize him, it is. is there a comparison? did you go through this? where does this end? >> i have a little sense of where he was going through. it was true when "time" magazine had me on the cover as the grinch that stole christmas, and the following link i was the dr. seuss figure and on "newsweek," attacking -- that was before reverse born in, by the way. this is deeper, donald j. trump represents the end of their world. the people he was talking to --

in pennsylvania -- are people who really want to go back to core american values, they are fed up with the hollywood left, with left-wing academics brainwashing their children. they are fed up with "the new york times" and "washington post" and cbs and nbc and abc. they understand what the game is. the result is with trump having won the presidency, he is in position to pretty consistently move the country away from the left-wing values that hillary clinton and barack obama were trying to impose on all of us. that leads to what is a genuine cultural civil war. it's very real. it shows up in riots on campuses. they are deadly earnest. they want us to live a different life and impose their values on us. they are fully prepared to do anything they can to destroy trump in order to do that.

>> sean: i was kind of messing around at the beginning of the show. in terms of, i bet a lot of media is tuning in to me tonight. maybe i will dress them or not. they will have to tune in. what is fascinating to me is just how blatant they are about their biases at this time. from november 9th forward, there has been a full on attempt to delegitimize this president, spitting wild conspiracies against his president. colluding with this president vis-a-vis wiki links, they never vetted barack obama or talked about his atrocious record. to me, i think they feel justified. they don't see anything wrong and what they are doing. maybe i'm wrong, maybe they do see it and don't care. maybe they think their worldview is so superior to conservatives. >> culturally, it's almost a religious cult. they believe deeply and

passionately in their worldview. they believe in imposing it on others. if you watch on college campuses, i talked to college republicans who feel it's almost unsafe. to be openly for trump on some of the campuses they attend. professors who routinely in effect blackmailed the students. i talk to somebody whose daughter refuses to answer honestly how she feels in her law school class because if she answered honestly, her teacher would knock her grades down. you really do have a course of left trying to put impose its values on the country. they are rabid now because trump beat them. he won. they are terrified. >> sean: he is a winning still still. look at saturday night. i think that's a big win for him. i think the public doesn't care about the white house correspondents dinner. there is another thing i think it's really deep and profound

here. the left -- every election cycle will say conservatives are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, they want to throw us over the cliff. i have all the talking points down. they fundamentally don't understand conservatism. they will not objectively analyze that we have the lowest labor participation rate in the eight years after obama. 95 million americans out of the labor force. lowest home ownership rate in 51 years. 50 million americans on food stamps. 8 million more in poverty. 50 million in poverty. we doubled the debt. i honestly think they are incapable of questioning whether or not their worldview as represented by obama failed this country spectacularly and resulted in people in wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, and ohio

looking to trump to bring back jobs and to make this place a place where their children have a shot at the american dream that has been broken in many ways. >> i think that's right. on the left, there is almost no understanding that their policies lead ultimately to venezuela or cuba. places that failed, argentina. their idea of looting the country and redistributing the goodies, centralizing the government and a huge, giant bureaucracy has failed every time it has tried. what you saw happening was people were both resentful of the ideological imposition and they were angry about the absolute practical failure in terms of economics and jobs and safety. for example, the trump administration going after the ms-13 gangs. that's a really good example of a common sense approach to

illegal immigration. it's really hard to understand how anyone on the left can defend ms-13 which is a vicious gain originally in el salvador, it's now in many american cities, it tortures, kills, deals and drugs, focusing like t americans would be glad to see every ms-13 ms-13 criminal kicd out of this country permanently. that is what the left does not understand. >> sean: mr. speaker, stay right there. and coming up next on this busy news night tonight and a special welcome to our media friends. this is next. >> we are going to say americans health care and repeal and replace that disaster known as obamacare. president trump vowing to repeal and replace obamacare, house republicans appear to be moving closer to a vote. maybe this week. also tonight... >> it's been a campaign promise.

>> the wall. the wall is happening. okay? i will tell you that. >> sean: the cohost of the brand-new show, right here on the fox news channel, the fox news specialist, eric bolling interviewed the president about the border wall. eric will join us with reaction. laura ingraham is here tonight to weigh in on this out-of-control obstruction from the democrats, the liberal media, and so much more. we are glad you are with us tonight, as always, on "hannity "hannity." i no longer live with

the uncertainties of hep c.

wondering, what if? i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. ready to let go of hep c? ask your hep c specialist about harvoni.

>> we are going to save americans health care and repeal and replace that disaster known as obamacare. which is dying, dying, dying. we are going to give americans the freedom to purchase the health care plans they want. not the health care plans forced on them by the government. and i will be so angry at congressman kelly and congressman marino and all of those congressmen in this room if we don't get that damn thing passed quickly. >> sean: that was president trump, vowing to repeal and replace obamacare and hold congress accountable if they do not act quickly. president trump is right.

after a botched first attempt to end obama's disastrous health care law, republicans wake up and congress, get your act together. that is tonight's mini monologu monologue. a vote to repeal and replace obamacare could finally come as early as this week. right here on this program, over and over. we promise to you we will hold washington accountable. my message to republican lawmakers is simple. you already failed the american people once. don't do it again. get this right. he promised, now deliver. that means before before they hold a vote hopefully this week -- they have to make sure there is consensus among all groups, to make sure everyone is on the same page. and more importantly, the bill to repeal and replace obamacare, it must work for the american people. it must lower the costs of

premiums, offer better care and more accessibility. president trump told arbor good friend eric bolling, who will join us in the next segment, he will not sign a health care bill if it's not a good plan. >> the one mistake i made with health care -- we have one plan that has been going through. it has been getting better and better and better. somebody was saying oh, the people that voted for trump aren't getting good -- they will get the greatest. these are the greatest people. we either have a great plan or i am not signing it. i said from day one, i'm going to let obamacare die and come in with a good plan. >> sean: you now have president trump for a reason. for nearly eight years, you campaigned again and again and again on a promise to repeal and replace obamacare. 60 show boats that meant nothing? it's time to keep your promise and help the president move

forward with his agenda so the american people get a better deal on health care. joining is now again, newt gingrich. you know how frustrated i am here. i know you're going going to tell me as a friend that i have never been a speaker or a congressman and that the wheels of the bureaucracy move ever so slowly. my patients is gone as is the patience of the american people. they had eight years to prepare for this moment. they weren't ready to lead. >> right. that's obvious. you also have to deal with reality. >> sean: [laughs] you know how to make me laugh during a serious point. >> all i am saying is look, the ox is in the dish. it would be better if the ox hadn't gotten in the ditch but he did. i don't think you will like this answer but they would have been our wow been better off not even try until they had their ducks

in a row and were totally prepared. if you need to 16, you need to get to 24. wringing their hands saying oh, i don't know. i've been through that. the other thing which i frankly don't understand, the senate republicans need to do better job of -- everyone has to know going in what is in the bill. it doesn't do any good for this group to have a deal. and everyone in the middle is going, what's going on? what happens when someone brand-new is not a problem now becomes a problem? it takes a lot of massaging. i do think they are learning. i think they're trying very hard but some of these are very big issues. if you listen to the president -- he is setting a very high standard here. i think that's an important thing to remember.

>> sean: why does that not -- when they want the house in 2010, they get the house on this issue. when they want the senate in 2014, they get the senate. by the way, i am still mad at some of these leaders. i will mention names. paul ryan. he didn't really support the president. he called him horrible names. wasn't out campaigning with him. you know what? at this point, this late in the game, they don't have their act together, nobody reads the bill, no consensus -- and we don't even know if it will pass this week? i think i speak for the average person. i am sick of this. get your act together. i don't see urgency in paul ryan. i know you served the house with urgency. he doesn't. >> i don't agree with you. i talked to paul regularly. i know how frustrated he is. i know how frustrated both the moderates and freedom caucus ar

are. part of my view having done this for a living at at one time, gt over it. it's really hard. do you know why it is really hard? it is every fifth dollar in the american economy. it's life and death. obama designed a system that is hopelessly destructed destruct. how to get out of that and fix it is really hard. you are right, they had a lot of -- this is the real deal. when they pass us and goes through the house and the senate and trump signs it, it's the new law. and it's perfectly reasonable to have a very high standard here. >> sean: are you worried they will makeke on the other legislation agenda items? because i am. >> it's not the same problem. this is the only thing that is absolutely, narrowly partisan. it's obamacare. we can't go to a democrat and say will you help me repeal

obamacare? they will go crazy and destroy them in the primary. you want to do tax reform? you ought to be able to get some democrats. if you can't cut taxes and a bunch of democrats want to help, it's a pretty bad bill. you want to do infrastructure? >> sean: but they hate trump. i don't think trump could offer $100,000 to every american and they would say why is it not $1,100,005? >> you are going to vote against my getting money? then i will vote against the salary next year because i am going to fire you. >> sean: all right, mr. speaker. always good to see you. up next, tonight on this busy news night. a special warm welcome to our media friends here.

>> the wall. the wall is happening. the wall, okay, i will tell you -- >> sean: eric bolling, the cohost of the new show on the fox news channel, "the fox news specialists," he sat down with donald trump and also tonight. >> winning means winning for the american people. that is either we win or whoever wins understands the priorities of the american people. and they are not with president bush. i am so sorry, president bush. >> sean: hello? nancy pelosi calls president trump president bush, again. laura ingraham weighs on that and by the way -- the may a protest. way to see that. state wow straightahead. clarispray. from the makers of claritin.

briathe customer app willw if be live monday. can we at least analyze customer traffic? can we push the offer online? brian, i just had a quick question. brian? brian... legacy technology can handcuff any company. but "yes" is here. you're saying the new app will go live monday?! yeah. with help from hpe, we can finally work the way we want to. with the right mix of hybrid it, everything computes. at panera, a good salad is so this smuch? more than a bowl of something green. more than an obligation to be good. more than just something you have on the side. more than just one flavor, or texture, or color. a good clean salad is so much more than green. and with panera catering, more for your event. panera. food as it should be.

i have age-related maculare degeneration, amd, he told me to look at this grid every day. and we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression, including preservision areds 2. my doctor said preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula the national eye institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd after 15 years of clinical studies. preservision areds 2. because my eyes are everything. after becoming one of the largest broadband companies in the country. after expanding our fiber network coast to coast. these are the places we call home. we are centurylink. we believe in the power of the digital world. the power to connect. and that's what drives us everyday.

i've always had that issue with the seeds getting under my denture. super poligrip free. it creates a seal of the dentures in my mouth. just a few dabs is clinically proven to seal out more food particles. try super poligrip free. >> live from america's news headquarters, here's what happening this evening.

still no more tonight on the pursuit of a deadly stabbing rampage on a campus. the suspect was armed with a large hunting knife before surrendering. former classmates are expressing shock. they described him as a smart guy who had plenty of friends in high school. mayday, marches and demonstrations that were mostly peaceful. many of the immigration policies but violence broke out in a rally in portland, oregon, . they broke store windows and set fires. some protesters began hitting cops with projectiles. that's it for us tonight, now back to "hannity." >> something we on the side of the -- speak of the wall. the wall is happening.

okay? i will tell you. by the way, we have $1.5 billion for security in the budget. we are keeping it going. the wall is happening. >> sean: that was eric bolling, the cohost of a new show on the fox news channel, "the fox news specialists." the clip you just saw will air on tomorrow's program. we had a preview. what a great guy. at 5:00 eastern. eric joins us with more. i gave them advice on how to deal with you, by the way. >> [laughs] what did you say? >> sean: we have been friends for so long, i told them how to deal with you. great interview with the president. i was glad you asked this question. the whole border wall -- to me, if he doesn't build that wall, that's the equivalent of read my lips, no new taxes. and would result in a catastrophe in 2020 for

reelection. >> you and i -- we have known donald trump for a very long time. looking for a conservative response to the country, when he tells people i'm going to build a wall, that's one thing. for him to tell me -- who i've said from day one, when he tells you there we will be a wall, they will be a wall and mexico will pay for it. i wanted him to say to me. i have been on the front lines like you have. i am absolutely thoroughly convinced there will be a wall on our southern border. he went so far as to say look, there's a 73% decline in border crossing but that's not enough. it's not just about the border crossing. he went on to say it's about the drug running and human trafficking. how much human trafficking and drug money running meant to him -- that a wall would be the real barrier for those things, not just for people running across the border illegally. >> sean: by the way, he didn't

call your new show, deface the the nation, did he? that was hilarious. >> he came on specifically because we launched at that show today. >> sean: congratulations. well-deserved. we have been friends for a long time. it lets go through some of the other things he talked about with you. one of the things the media will never give him credit for -- this is the amazing thing -- we are all under attack. we are being monitored. everything we say, in hopes of taking all of us out. you, me, tucker, everybody. what is amazing is that they won't tell a story that he has a checklist, he made promises. he's not deviating from those promises. all the talk about the intrigue in the white house. he still keeping his promises. he reiterates what he said in the campaign. that is the key issue with him. what else did he tell you? >> we went through the whole

news media, fake news, who is the worst offender, who the worst offenders are -- >> sean: who are they? >> he said cnn. just because they don't highlight you in a way that's good for you, in a way is that why it is fake? >> he said no, they don't have an opposing view. they had mark cuban on and i said what's going on? he said trump should have known this is how tv works. i said, when you bought them dallas mavericks, were you a great owner the first 100 days? you know, mark cuban kind of understood at that point. we all have high expectations. i think you argue -- you might get a health care went very soon with donald trump. a tax reform when with donald trump very soon. he said i'm really pushing for that and said this is where we

will be able to do it. he pushed back on chuck schumer saying he's not working with me and he's leading the democrats right over the cliff. i think he said to destruction. he is having a hard time with chuck schumer. >> sean: congratulations to our good friend eric. you can catch him along with our friend ebony and kat, every day on 5:00 eastern. up next, tonight -- on a busy news night on "hannity"... >> either we win or whoever wins understands the priorities of the american people. and they are not what president bush -- excuse me i'm so sorry, president bush -- >> sean: you can't make this up. nancy pelosi did it again, calling president trump president bush. maybe she should update herbl talking points. laura ingraham will weigh in on that, up next.

i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding.

both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. ♪ ♪ i'm dr. kelsey mcneely and some day you might be calling me an energy farmer. ♪ energy lives here.

>> the democrats have been totally obstructionist. chuck schumer has turned out to be a bad leader. he's a bad leader for the country. the democrats are extremely obstructionist. all they do is obstruct. >> sean: that was president president trump explaining how the democrats slow down his agenda by refusing to work with him. he took it a step further by tweeting...

don't expect democrats to change their ways anytime soon. yes, the unhinged left continues. take a look. >> i see everything as an opportunity. i have never seen so much willingness to help win and winning means winning for the american people. either we win or whoever wins understands the priorities of the american people. they are not what president bush -- excuse me, i am so sorry, president bush -- i never thought i would pray for the day that your president again. >> he is not governing from the middle but from the hard right. that is why his regime has had hardly any major successes with the exception of gorsuch. if he changes, we could work together. he can't just dictate what he wants and not talk to us and say you must support it. >> sean: joining me now with reaction, fox news contributor

and nationally syndicated radio host, laura ingraham. your reaction? >> schumer said pretty much the same thing about bush as did pelosi. this is the same old hit list they keep playing over and over again. we are not above the surprise. we talked about this in decembe december. the democrats would do everything in their power through mass protest and probably a little help from the former president and all those folks, to resist. i mean, resist is their slogan. that's what they call themselves, the resistance. at the in congress have become more radical, and more devoted to the policies of radicalism since they lost the election. they are still not understanding why people turned out to vote for president trump. they voted for him because the democrats have become the party

wealthy. at the democrats have become the party of the status quo, stagnant growth, no real discernible increases in wages. a lot of those crossover voters, sean, turned out to vote for trump because he actually connected better with middle america. middle america is not celebrating the may day protest today that the democrats are celebrating. >> sean: you've always been particularly insightful -- you wrote a book years ago -- you have been particularly insightful about the psychology of the left. let me play a montage of democratic lawmakers attacking trump. and some of the insanity of this made a mind around the country. maybe you can enlighten us about what is going on in the minds of some of these people. >> this executive order -- was

mean-spirited and un-american. >> republican leaders don't give a [bleep] about the people they were trying to hurt. >> i will fight every day until he is impeached! impeach 45! >> this is a bunch of scumbags. that's what they are. >> those are very strong words, congresswoman. >> i have seen nothing that i can work with president bush on. i'm trying really hard to find something positive. i was thinking it was more of a creature that stopped the night, that this thing came out like a vampire. but now it has spread to the morning. >> we want to make sure that there aren't people out there supporting the trump agenda.

[horns honking] >> we are here marching and being loud and visible. we won't go back in the shadows. we will fight because this is the country we love. we will make it better. >> it is our constitutional right to be here. children deserve -- >> we are in front of a gate that will block buses that deport people from the sanctuary city of san francisco. >> sean: all right, laura, i am counting on you. your intuitive insight and analysis on all of that. >> sean, first of all, that montage is funnier than anything that was said by the comedian at the white house correspondents dinner. no, i didn't go. >> sean: thought such a good point. >> if we had late-night television hosts -- just in the

slightest bit fair, they would be able to come together at least a good hour of that montage. let's start with maxine waters, i hate to do that to the fox viewers. she is among the most unhinged, illogical, nonsensical senile politicians in the united states today. i don't think she has a good grip on reality. yes, i guess california is proud of her. imagine if she had said that about a woman? or a republican had said that about a woman who is president of the united states? it so far beyond the pale. when you watch that montage, listen to the illegal immigrants demanding that the country change for them -- not that they change for the country. they are demanding that they get all of these benefits and all of these rights and that the rule of law is bent to their will. that's rich.

the democrats who crossed over for trump, do they really think that they see those kind of sound bites and think oh, i want to be with those people? because they have a better american mind? i think that turns off people. it is insanity. >> sean: i was just saying this to newt gingrich earlier, these are serious times. when 50 million of our fellow citizens are in poverty and on food stamps. 95 millions on the lack out of the labor force. it's not funny. their policies created this. they offered no solution to make anybody's life better. bernie sanders offered solutions at least. he seems to relate to those people. >> i think that they are hoping by 2018, they will have zigged up trump enough, scarred him, bruised him enough that they wir

voters out to the polls again because look at what we did to the big bad trump, politically speaking, we burned him an effigy. they want to be able to do that. i don't think that is enough. i still think ideas matter. i still think a track record matters which is why you are right when you talk to newt gingrich about this. donald trump does need to get a really big legislative victories that help us get this economy going again. it's all about the economy, sean. >> sean: i agree. if he wants to be reelected, just keep his promises. all the noise will go away. all right, laura. good to see you. up next, tonight, on this busy news night, here on "hannity"... >> it's a very horrible thing that's going on. the statements are very inflammatory and horrible. i don't like drawing redlines but i have to, i have to act. >> sean: eric bolling asked

about north korea with his interview with the president. we will get reaction from rick grenell. that, straight ahead. why pause a spontaneous moment? cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension,

as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis. when a fire destroyed everything in our living room. we replaced it all without touching our savings. yeah, our insurance won't do that. no. you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance

>> is there a redline for president trump for north korea? >> i'm not like president obama where he drew a redline in the sand and then let the bad things

happen and he never goes over the redline. i actually covered his redline for him with syria. i will say that you see what's going on, it's very, very bad. it's very threatening to us and to many other allies. if you look at south korea. japan. and others. the very horrible thing that's going on. the statements are very inflammatory, horrible. we will have to see. i don't like drawing redlines but if i act, i have to act. >> sean: that was president trump earlier today speaking with eric bolling about the north korean threat. joining us now with reaction's former spokesman to the u.s. ambassador, rick grenell. we have all these rising tensions, rising out of kim jong un. even more importantly, working on our allies and even china in the region which i would hope more than anything is true.

your thoughts? >> exactly right. i think trump is correct that he has enforced obama's redline and he has done it in a way that has not only used the military but picked up diplomacy. this is the president, president trump, who is focused on diplomacy when it comes to the north korea issue. yet he has a very credible threat of military action. this has been going on for eight years while the washington politicians have been playing their politics. we have seen the north koreans successfully put a rocket into orbit, and multiple times test a nuclear weapons program. that's very troublesome. the u.n. hasn't worked. >> sean: what bothers me is bill clinton gave them billions of dollars, told the american people he stopped them from getting nuclear capabilities. appeasement didn't work. they have it. now we have to work that threatening israel today,

north korea had another ballistic test last week. u.s. warships sailing within striking distance of north korea. escalating tensions. at my hope is the chinese, after they met with the president, they sent troops to the border. they are importing american coal. through their own communist newspaper, they actually said if you test another missile, there will be dire consequences. but we haven't seen them yet. >> we have had a problem with our negotiations with china for a very long time. we haven't been able to articulate the fact that china is not threatened in the same way that we are by north korea. they are not threatened by a missile launch. they know that that is not coming at them. what they are threatened by is the regime collapse and millions of refugees coming over the border. so we have to do a better job of shaking china to say, we know it is not your priority to stop this missile launch. but since our priority, you need to pay attention.

i think donald trump has done that. one thing the administration has to be able to do is continue pushing on the sanctions. i know a lot of people think they haven't worked. but we are giving hundreds of millions of dollars to the congo. american taxpayers. the congo government is dealing with the north korean government. we have to make sure our taxpaying dollars aren't trading with north korea. that should stop immediately. >> sean: rick grenell, always appreciate your expertise. when we come back, a very important question of the day and may beri a message for the media. maybe not for the media. ostriches don't really stick vitheir heads in the sand.ve horns on their helmets. and a real john deere is actually real affordable.

you learn something new everyday. the surprisingly affordable john deere e series tractors.

how to brush his teeth. (woman vo) in march, my husband didn't recognize our grandson. (woman 2 vo) that's when moderate alzheimer's made me a caregiver. (avo) if their alzheimer's is getting worse, ask about once-a-day namzaric. namzaric is approved for moderate to severe alzheimer's disease in patients who are taking donepezil. it may improve cognition and overall function, and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while.

namzaric does not change the underlying disease progression. don't take if allergic to memantine, donepezil, piperidine, or any of the ingredients in namzaric. tell the doctor about any conditions; including heart, lung, bladder, kidney or liver problems, seizures, stomach ulcers, or procedures with anesthesia. serious side effects may occur, including muscle problems if given anesthesia; slow heartbeat, fainting, more stomach acid which may lead to ulcers and bleeding; nausea, vomiting, difficulty urinating, seizures, and worsening of lung problems. most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, dizziness, loss of appetite, and bruising. (woman 2 vo) i don't know what tomorrow will bring but i'm doing what i can. (avo) ask about namzaric today. >> sean: time for the question of the day. what do you think house republicans will finally get their act together? repealed, replaced obamacare.
