dvr it if you know what that means. above all, stay tuned for sean hannity come alive from new york city next. we'll see you tomorrow. >> sean: lying, pomposity, what is the other one? >> tucker: t smugness and groupthink, sean! >> sean:ea>> great show, as always. welcome to "hannity." president trump is holding firm tonight. we have new information about the key promise to build the wall in terms of the southern border, and bipartisan negotiation with law markers today. it was a fascinating and historic on camera debate. the president put his foot foot down as it relates to securing the border before anything is d. after years of broken promises, not getting the job done for members of congress, it's about time. build the wall. meanwhile, obstructionist democrats are showing that they are hypocrites, political opportunists, and total flip-flop for us. we have the tape, video evidence, it will cover that in much more. we are glad you're with us. tonight's breaking news opening

monologue next. ♪ in what is almost an unprecedented move, president trump invited lawmakers to the white house today and peeled back the curtains by actually allowing tv cameras into the room to capture their debate on immigration. most of you were unable to watch this play out in full, so we will play large portions for you tonight in case you missed it. the president started off a discussion by telling members of congress that border security has to come first in any deal. yes, and we want the wall. take a look. >> we are here today to advance bipartisangr immigration reform that serves the needs of the american families, workers, and taxpayers. it's daca, we've been talking about daca for a long time. i've been hearing about it for years, long before i decided to go into this particular line of work and maybe we can do something. we have a lot of good people in this room, a lot of people that have a great spirit for taking care of people we represent, we

all represent. for that reason, any legislation on daca, we feel, at least a strong part of this group feels, has to accomplish three vital roles. the chairman will be submitting a bill over the next two to three days that will cover many of these things. a obviously, if it gets passed, it will go to the senate and they can negotiate and we will see how it all turns out. i feel having the democrats in with us is absolutely vital because it should be a bipartisan bill. it should be a bill of love, truly, it should be a bill of love, and we can do that. but it should also be a bill where we are able to secure our border, drugs are pouring into our country at a record pace. aa lot of people are coming in that we can't have. we've greatly stiffened, as you know, and fewer people are trying to come in. we have tremendous numbers of people and drugs pouring into

our country. so in order to secure it, we need all, we need closing enforcement, we have to have to close enforcement loopholes, give immigration officers, and these are tremendous people, the border security agents, the i.c.e. agents, we have to give them the equipment they need, we have to close loopholes, and this really does include a very strong amount of different things for border security. i thinknk everybody in the room would agree with that. i think it's a question of amounts, but i think everyone agrees we have to have border security. i don't think there would be anyone that says no. second, it has to be a bill toon end chain migration. chain migration as bringing and many,pl many people with one and often it doesn't work out very well. there arean many people that are

not doing us a ride. and i think a lot of people in the room, i'm not sure i can speak for everybody, but i think a lot of people in this room want to see chain migration ended, and we have a recent case along the west side highway having to do with chain migration, where a man ran over, killed eight people, and many people injured badly, loss of arms, loss of legs, horrible thing happened. thenpl you look at the chain and all the people that came in because of him, terrible situation. and the other, cancel the lottery program. they call it visa lottery, i just call it lottery. countries come in and they put names in the hopper. they are not giving you their breath names. common sense means they are not giving you their breath names. they are you names they don't want. >> sean: as he watches tonight, remember this is the same president that the media an telling you for days and weeks and in some cases, months is absolutely crazy. no, he was very engaged, totally in charge, and being transparent, extremely patient, and common sense solutions were being offered. he was giving you, the american

people, a rare glimpse into a historic process on the important process of immigration reform. a few days hours ago, the prest tweeted... the present obviously now refusing to back down on the border wall. i've been saying this for months and years. in order for the g.o.p. to be successful, you guys want to enact the midterm elections? build two or 300 miles of the border wall. go down there and cut your commercials, promise made, promise kept, voters happy. american people need to see tangible results and progress being made on this key promise, key for november. this has to become a fond of the wall, builds a wall first, it is always like, you get the tax increase, but you never get the- the wall never gets built. we have been down this road, we

have seen the rodeo before. you republicans, you want to win in november? you are up for election, not donald trump. put the american people, put their security first, and show them that by november, you are keeping your promises.af smart, good for the country, good politics. after the president's remarks, the democrats moved to their debate. all they care about is amnesty and daca, amnesty and daca. take a look. >> democrats are for security at the borders. i will state that emphatically. there is not a democrat that is not for having secure borders. there are obviously differences, however, mr. president, on how you affectdi that. you just indicated that your cells. you indicated this would be a first step and that we continue to talk as we are talking today about how we best secure the border. there are difference of opinion within your party and within our party. i would urge that we move

forward on protecting the daca protected individuals. young people, young adults, as you pointed out in one of your statements, who are productive parts of our community. that we protect them and get that done, and then because i think everybody around the table, as you pointed out, is for security, the issue will be, how do we best affect that border security? i would urge us to move, as senator durbin has urged us, on the daca students. as it a matter of fact, the speaker i think today, maybe yesterday, said we need to solve the daca issue and we need to solve it in a way that is permanent, not temporary. i agree with him on that issue. >> interestingly, when you say that, president obama, when he signed the executive order, said he doesn't have the right to do this. so you do have to go through congress and you do have to make it -- whether he does, whether he doesn't come on let's assume he doesn't, he said, it was a

temporary stopgap. i think we want to have a permanent solution to this. i think everybody in this room feels this way and very strongly. speak of what happened, mr. president, i think, is that the senate passed a copperheadsf immigration bill, as you know what we did not considered in the house so we did not reach those issues. very frankly on border security, the chairman of the committee, reported a unanimous security solution, which we then included in the bill that we filed on comprehensive immigration reform. i think we can reach agreement. >> i also think that after we do daca, and i think we should be able to be successful, i really think we should look in terms of your permanent solution, and to the whole situation with immigration. i think a lot of people in this room wouldo. agree to that, als. we'll do it in steps and most people agree with that. even you say,o let's do this and then we go phase two. kevin, what would you like to

say? >>ng first, thank you for bringg everyone together. you've got the senate, house, both parties. i like the exchange of ideas. i think everybody has a point here. the one thing i don't want to have happen here is what i saw in the past. there were former bills that were passed on border security years ago that never got fixed by the immigration bills that were right back at the table with the same problems. let's make a commitment to each one, most importantly to the american people, that would make it down and come to an agreement, we are not back at this problem three, four years from now. that is why, yes, we've got to do daca, i agree with you 100%., but if we do not do something with a security, if we do not do something with a chain migration, we are fooling each other that we solved a problem. you know how difficult this issue is. so let's collectively, we are here at the table together, i will be the first want to tell you, we are all going to have to give a little and i will be the

first onet failing to. but let's solve the problem but let's not tell the american people that it solved when it's not. >> sean: grade points by kevin mccarthy. here areom some of the other big moments from today's immigration debate. take a look at this. >> the country is doing well in so many ways but there is such divisiveness, such division, and i really believe we can solve that.ry i think the system is a very bad system in terms of getting together. i will leave it up to you but i really b believe you can do something to bring it together. >> i've been doing this for ten years. iin don't think i have seen a betterdo chance to get it done than i do right now. because of you. i'm not going to support a bill if you don't support it. in' have had -- i am still standing. i am lindsay gomez, name every name you want to give to me. i am still standing. the people of south carolina wanted results. how can i get elected? i have been for a path tole citizenship for 11 million people because i have no

animosity toward them. i don't want crooks, i don't want bad hombres, i want to merit based immigration system, i want to be fair to the 11 million, i just don't want to do this every ten years. >> the chain migration has taken a big hit in the last year and what has happened. you look o at these killers, whether you like it or not, we are looking at these killers and whene you see 18 people came in, 22 people came in, 30 people came in with this person that just because a lot of people. i don't believe there are a lot of democrats will be supporting chain migration a anymore. >> can we get the homeland security secretary? > on border security, i wanto make sure we are all -- the reason that border security is so important to have is that it doesn't solve the problem if we can apprehend people but we can't remove them, so we need the wall system, which is some physical structure, as the president surprised, technology,

but we have to close those legal loopholes. the o effect of that is this incredible pull up from central america that just continues to exacerbate the problem. border security has to be part of this or we will be here again and three, four, five years. may be unfortunately soon year. >> i just want to know what -- emphasize secretary nielsen said. if you apprehend somebody at the border but you cannot save them back outside the united states, even though they are unlawfully present in the united states, you have not solve this problem. they are released into the interior of the country and the problem persists. that sends a message back to where they come from. >> you know what, we will negotiate that. i think a lot of people agree on both sides. >> t the other thing we have to look out, the wall that is up, mr. president, you talk your border patrolr chief, or the former border patrol chief, i have asked them, how much time as a wall by you? it was a couple of minutes or a few seconds.

itro is our own border patrol chief said have said that. >> they saved without the wall, we cannot have border security. all you have to do is ask israel. look what happened. >> homeland w appropriation, yor chief was there and the former chiefs have all said that -- if you look at -- >> mr. president, if you look at where the walls are at right now, this is where the activity is, where the walls are out right now. >> miles of area where people are pouring through, because of our rhetoric or because of the received, my perceived attitude, fewer people are trying to come through. that is a great thing. therefore, our numbers have been fantastic may be for all the right reasons. >> let me finish my thought. i want to ask you, you saw the

game last night, a good game last night. we are playing defense on the one-yard line. called the u.s. border. we spent over $18 million a year on the border. if we think about playing defense on the 20-yard line, if you look at what mexico has done, they stop thousands of people on the southern border of guatemala.we we got to be looking -- >> we stop them.ld you know why? mexico told income of the president told me, everybodyeo tells me, not as many people are coming through the southern border because they don't think they can get through our southern border and that is why they don't come. that is what happened in mexico. we didid mexico a tremendous favor. >> we put h appropriations to hp them at the southern border. >> we always give everybody -- every other nation gets money but ours. they are always looking to money for money and we give it to them. >> instead of playing defense on the one-yard line, if you look,

we know where this -- this -- o are, why play defense on the one-yard line? >> we are going after them like ever before. >> if we focus on daca, we can focus on myy things and find a sensible border security, -- >> you folks are going to have to come up with a solution. if you do, i will sign that solution. we have a lot of smart people in this room, really smart people. we have a lot of people that are good people, big hearts, want to get it done. i think almost everybody, i can think of one article i don't particularly like but that's okay. [laughter] i think everybody -- i'm trying to figure that out. everybody wants a solution. he wanted and i wanted to. you need the wall. it's wonderful. i would lovee not to build the

wall but we need the wall. i will tell you this, the icy officersth and the border patrol agencies, i had them just recently, they said if you don't have the wall in certain areas, obviously, that aren't pf you don't have the wall, you cannot have security. just can't have it. it doesn't work. >> sean: if you don't have a wall, you will never have security. also the dhs security nielsen made some great points in that exchange. as you saw today, the president and some republicans are saying the border wall has to come first. it has to. and then congress can talk about other things. to me that is the right answer. if you build a wall expeditiously and fully funded, you can move forward. you can have your discussions. chain migration also must go away. a lottery system, we have learned to the last year, must go away. when it comes to the democrats, they are massive hypocrites and they are being exposed as nothing but political opportunists on the issue of immigration. i doubt anyone in the media's

about to show you these massive flip-flops. take a f look. >> i voted numerous times when i was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. and i do think you have to control your border's. >> where it was necessary, we did support some fencing, where it was necessary, we did add border patrol agents. we have done what, by any fair estimate, would have to conclude is a good job securing the border. >> people who enter thete united states without our permission are illegal aliens and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who enter the u.s. legally. the american people will never accept immigration reform unless they truly believe that their government is committed to ending future illegal immigration. >> the president's decision to end daca was heartless and it

was brainless. if this order stands, hundreds, hundreds of thousands of families will be ripped apart. tens of thousands of american businesses will lose hardworking employees. >> those who enter our country illegally and those who employ them disrespect them rule of la. and because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we cannot allow people to pour into the vice undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. >> if there arere disruptions in these countries, if there is conflict, if there is bad governments, if there is more, if there is more, if there's's poverty, and this new world that we live in, we can't isolate ourselves, we can't hide behind the wall. >> sean: it shows how far left now this democratic party has moved. by the way, anyone else goingtyo point out the hypocrisy? now that it is politically expedient for the democratic party and opposing the policies,

they were passionately supporting on masse. foxnews.com has a great article today showcasing the democrats blatant hypocrisy on immigration. here is the headline. "dems change to nonborder wall after backing barrier under obama."e the it points out that five years ago under barack obama the entire democratic caucus voted to build 7 miles of fencing along the southern border. it's the same area that president trump's border wall would cover pray they didn't get the job done and it doesn't end there. the bills democratic supporter, which was called the economic opportunity anti-immigration modernization act, also included $40 billion, over a decade, to strengthen border security measures and also called for doubling the number of border agents to be hired. what have been a good idea. here is this tells us. the democratic party in their opposition to what president trump is asking for, it is nothing but a total farce.

it's about playing politics. identity politics. it has nothing to do with the facts and reality about what is going on at the border. look, i have personally been reporting from the border at least a dozen times. horseback, all-terrain vehicle, i have been out there on helicopters and boats, i've done it all, all of it. i have seen gang members being arrested. a warehouse, the biggest one you have ever seen, floor to ceiling, drugs that were confiscated. i've been in a drug smuggling title and much more. the problems down there are real. humann trafficking, drug trafficking, democrats don't want to address these issues because they would rather score cheap political points. when we come back, we'll consider our discussion. o kellyanne conway is here. she'll respond to all of this on a busy, who is breaking on "hannity" ."

eye. >> without the wall? >> no. there wouldn't b >> any agreement without the wall -- >> no. you need it. you need the wall. i mean, it's wonderful. ii would love not to build a wal but you need the wall. i will tell you this.at the icy officers in the border patrol officers, i had them recently, they say if you don't have the wall, and certain areas, obviously, that aren't protected by nature, if you don't have the wall, you cannot have security. you just can't have it. it doesn't work. >> sean: welcome back to "hannity." here with reaction to my opening monologue on the president's big, bipartisan meeting, counsel to the president, kellyanne conway is back. good to see you, kellyanne. president put out this tweet earlier tonight. he said... we heard him over and over again, it is imperative. we know thatf conservatives,

friends of mine, they doubt because they have been promised again and again and again. we always get the consideration, amnesty, never the wall, we always get the spending increase, never the tax cuts. now we have the tax cuts. peoplele want to see that wall. they want to see some of it by november. >> everyone in that room tonight, everyone watching now, notice of the president stands for the wall, he just repeated it, t and front of the entire world to see, sean. the wall is an imperative. the wall, the president made clear today, conferring with those on the front lines who want the wall, he asked the i.c.e. agents, her asked the border patrol t agents, he asked them what they need. secretary nielsen has asked them what they need to do their job, to make us more safe and secure as a nation. they have all said, we need this type of security, we need a border. we have spent billions of dollars over decades helping other countries secure their own

borders, their own sovereignty, it's high time we did it in our country and this is the leader who will make it happen, donald trump. i think in the span of one hour today, you saw in full the three major promises this president has made to the country. security, prosperity, and transparency. the transparency is obvious. even some of his greatest critics of the media weream flabbergasted by this president, on camera, for a full hour, with no filter, no script, just a conversation, bicameral, bipartisan. unprecedented. second second, security. the wall, 2,800 miles, might be the physical wall, mountainous, but you can put fencing, you can have technology, you can put more agents there.

people are already not crossing as much as they did illegally because they no walls are beingk built, because they know that folks are tougher. we don't want the drugs coming over thes border, we don't want people here illegally through chain migration and the lottery. finally, the prosperity. economic security and national security go hand-in-hand. you see what's happening with this president. his leadership, his bold actions along with that of the republicans in congress, that massive tax cut to the middle class. they are making this country more prosperous. consumer l confidence cooked, unemployment levels down for african-americans, teams teensl competence measures. national security, economic security, go hand-in-hand. the wall is not negotiable. the democrats came here saying, daca is not negotiable. the president said, no, we need the wall and an end to chain migration, which accounts for

9.3 million resettled in the population a year. one person comes here and you get seven family members, some sand upwards of 20 members. >> sean: when i showed the tape of chuck schumer and bernie sanders and hillary clinton and barack obama, all of these democrats, they basically sound like donald trump. but now because donald trump supports that they can't possibly support it. only if the anointed one, obama, maybe oprah, they would support it. it is addressed opposition to this president for the sake of opposition? any other point is, all of these days, i saw a president and commander of the facts, leading, opening up transparency that we had never had before today, and thatat is what made it so fascinating. to speak it was preloaded -- those of us who work here see i. we really enjoy a discussion, he welcomes dissent and discussion. he takes many different inputs and ideas and he makes a final decision.

he was the one elected after all. i think what you saw on full display today is very similar to what we see on an ongoing basis at this white house. lethi me just say this. when you ask what's different now, sure, what's different for the democrats including hillary clinton, crowing and bragging about how she doesn't think we should have people crossing illegally and we should have borders and wow, she should have said that in 2016, she might've made the state's more competitive. anyway, we would have won. the fact is, what has changed, number one, they have a president who is willing too actually do it. just like with the tax cuts, just like with moving thed embassy to jerusalem, people have promised because, they nevr thought they had a president that would do that. they are not beholden to special interests. he's talking about national interest, not special interest. >> sean: last question. for 2018, isn't it good for the republican party to say that we are keeping our promise? we have two or 300 miles of the

wall died now. we rented and we got it w done. >> no doubt, we know that wall campus built overnight, we have a physical wall and technology, fencing and places where a physical wall cannot happen and most importantly, you end the change chain migration, and you show people about that southern border that we have more i.c.e. agents. we have to empower these men and women with the tools they need to do their job. >> sean: all right, kellyanne, thanks for coming on. good may come back, ed henry is here with a new report on the trump dossier. also, laura trump, and more. ♪ now you can join angie's list for free.

also senator dianne feinstein released a transcript of fusion gps cofounder glenn simpson, his august interview with the senate judiciary committee. here with a live report from the white house, ed henry. they talked about somebody dying over there? >> yeah, a question that may be leaking out this information and the so-called trump dossier, the unverified information about the president may have led to someone being killed, and intelligence asset, who was revealed because of this information that was published. in the last few moments, the president's personal attorney michael cohen has filed two lawsuits involving the dossier over defamation, one for buzzfeed which published some of this, the other being fusion gps, the company which put together the dossier, and glenn simpson personally, the former journalist involved in fusion gps. more on that in a minute. as you mention, the fbi facing more scrutiny over anti-trump

text messages on the eve of the 2016 election, specifically what lawmakers on the hill are looking at, back and forth messages between fbi officials peter strzok and lisa page. these were particularly messages about a "wall street journal" story apparently focused on the clinton foundation, which of course is now the focus of a renewed fbi probe into whether the original review of the foundation was too soft. these texts show the duo suggesting they knew in advance about the story and were going to share it with fbi colleagues and pretend they knew nothing about it. raising questions about whether they leaked sensitive information or whether they end other fbi officials leaked classified information, a question about the house intelligence chairman, devin nunes, will get a chance to ask strzok and page, since we have also learned that those two fbi officials will be among eight witnesses brought before the house intelligence panel in the next few weeks to get answers about fusion gps and alleged wrongdoing among fbi and justice department officials.

another key witness is going to be obama justice department holdover bruce ohr. remember his wife actually worked for fusion gps and was a so-called russian experts. that company's cofounder, glenn simpson, under the microphone , after diane feinstein released his transcript of his public testimony. she says she released for 300 pages to set the record straight, but allies of the president say, there is no evidence of collusion for the trump campaign and this transcript actually raises new questions about fusion's collusion with the hillary clinton campaign. the transcript shows simpson declined to several questions about how simpson was paid since since then, we learned since republicans getting bank records that hillary clinton's campaign and the dnc paid for this information through a democratic attorney. when simpson was pressed on whether fusion gps was a

democratic linked firm, he responded that he did not think so, despite that money passing hands. as i mentioned of the top, breaking this hour, though, about this dossier, the personal attorney for the president, michael cohen come, longtime ally, just filed two s. in new york state, he's filed a suit against buzzfeed for publishing some of the dossier. buzzfeed has put out a statement tonight saying that "the interest of the public is obvious and that is why they published it and they will aggressively defend their first amendment rights." meanwhile, that is in state court in new york, a federal lawsuit filed by michael come on, the personal attorney for the president as well against glenn simpson and fusion gps, this firm that put together the dossier with the former british spy come across diverse deal. this is breaking in the last few moments, sean, and it shows that the trump camp is really fighting back here over all of this. >> sean: grade report tonight. we appreciated. joining us now, with reaction from a fox news contributor

sara carter and fox news legal analyst greg gregg jarrett. this is the salacious details that were never true. >> one of the most interesting points that has been brought up today is that glenn simpson testified that the fbi had a source within the trump campaign and by the way, that story, a colleague of mine here pointed out that that story is still a top story on "the washington post"'s website. what's interesting is that according to people close to glenn simpson and fusion gps, he misspoke. that isn't true at all. what he was referring to was george papadopoulos in london. so here we have "the washington post" still with the headline out there that there was a source working inside the trump campaign for the fbi, and it's flat-out wrong. there is a lot of factual errors

and even within his own testimony -- >> sean: every news network, they went nuts with that. you are right, they've been wrong all along. let's talk about the legal side of this, gregg jarrett. i'm glad michael cohen was fighting back. >> it absolutely does. it's a legitimate defamation lawsuit, a false statement, and clearly the dossier is false. it damages somebody's name and reputation. look, i went through all 311 pages of glenn simpson's testimony. it's pretty clear this is a guy who trades in rumor, innuendo, suggestion, wild speculation. i think he has read too many robert ludlum and tom clancy novels. basically the entire 311 pages is trash. this guy doesn't know anything. the dossier, he has asked as to every specific aspect of the dossier, could you verify this, did you verify that?

and the answer is no. >> sean: amazing. you read everything. we love you for it, gregg. you are amazing. they are talking about a death in the case. hang on a second. when we reported, sarah, on this program, that hillary clinton, at the fox news channel reported that five foreign intelligence agencies, 99% likelihood that they got all of those 33,000 emails and then some, and classified in top-secret and special access programs, if james comey is drafting that, remember the draft exoneration before the investigation, and comey wrote himself that it was likely these foreign entities got it, do we know of any potential harm that came to anybody? >> certainly. this is the main reason why we don't want to classified information in the hands of enemies and even our allies. we want to keep that very guarded. so that could certainly be true. there could certainly be people

or assets or areas that are compromised now because of those potential access to the server. even with the dossier right now, i know that people are looking into this, we don't know, there were a lot of bad pairs in russia, a lot of bad players out there. people could be killed for many reasons one thing looks like this happen. we don't know what we are hearing is factual. >> sean: unbelievable. comey m strzok rig to the primary so hillary could keep going and then sadly she regular primary against bernie sanders and on top of this, we have this literally hillary clinton bought and paid for dossier. we have so much more news coming in the days ahead. good to see you both. i like you without a tie, gregg jarrett. i know it's a casual vacation day for you. we dragged you and pray thank you for coming. we may come back, president trump response to reports that oprah winfrey might run against him in 2020. lara trump and joe contra are
