6:01 pm
investigation, plus we have media reacting to the president and by the way, that he is not a target. oh, it's driving them insane. and he is only a subject in the corrupt mueller investigation. there is a total freakout over. this and jonathan turley is out with a brand new op-ed that is bashing the abusively biased press for refusing to accept this fact. also tonight, alan dershowitz was phenomenal last night he is back as well as doug joe digenova. congressman chaffetz has a list of things congress should be doing right now so serve you the american people, public servants, help republicans in the end actually win. he will join us with all the details. we have all of that and so, so much more. and our breaking news opening monologue. ♪ all right, tonight, president trump is on a complete tear by continuing to keep his promises and enact the agenda that you, the american people, voted for in november 2016.
6:02 pm
now, the dhs secretary kirstjen nielsen made a major announcement earlier today about president trump's plan to secure the southern border. here's what she said. >> the president has directed the national guard personnel be deployed to the southern border. the department of defense as you know has long supported the efforts of dhs to protect our nation's borders. this includes ongoing counter narcotic missions, infrastructure construction, persistent surveillance operational training and aerial alley support throughout western hemisphere. department of homeland security and i thank them for their support. while plans are being finalized, it's our expectation that the national guard will deploy personnel in support of cpp's border security mission. >> sean: tonight we have learned that president trump has signed the proclamation to send the national guard to the southern border. now the president, he deserves a lot of credit because if congress are not going to lift a financing tore solve the problem, then
6:03 pm
he is going to take the steps as commander-in-chief and do it on his own, which he now has. now, before the liberal media all you leftists out there start losing your collective minds over the national guard being deployed at the southern border, with all due respect, we will educate you. there is already precedence for awful this while george w. bush and barack obama they actually did the exact same thing. and president trump's tough rhetoric, calling for mexico to disband this caravan as you see of asylum seekers heading for the u.s. border. that's also working. according to reports, more than a thousand person caravan is now falling apart. leaders of the group are now saying they will no longer head for america's southern border. of this is the start of good news for the president. look at this, a brand new rasmussen poll, his approval rating is now 51%, which is higher than barack obama's during the exact same time in his presidency. he was only at 46%. and he got reelected. the liberal media probably
6:04 pm
won't be telling you that tonight. they are too busy orchestrating onslaught of any negative story they can possibly find obsessing over stormy daniels and trump-russia collusion, russia, russia, russia that doesn't exist. there is also a fake news cnn poll. this is pretty amazing. we show president trump making major gains with four key groups. 8 points with men since february. 5 points with younger voters, 9 points with middle aged voters and up 10 points with college graduates. here's what's so interesting about these polls, just imagine if the president wasn't constantly under attack from a media that wants to destroy him. imagine if robert mueller and his team of democratic donors weren't carrying out their never ending witch-hunt. don't you think the president's poll numbers would be a lot higher if a majority of the country wasn't being fed an endless stream of outright lies, propaganda, distortion and misinformation? now, despite all of that, president trump, he is just
6:05 pm
rolling along doing his job every day. the job that you elected him to do. look at this, manufacturing this is good news, by the way, for the media to be so successful in their attacks against trump, they are kind of cheering against the country succeeding. look at this, the strongest in three years. adp, moody's analytics, saying 241,000 jobs created in march. that's on top of the record low unemployment numbers that we now have. over 3 million jobs created since donald trump elected. by the way, the lowest unemployment numbers ever for african-americans and hispanic americans. look at this, home equity at this at record level. $5.4 trillion. the president is also taking a big step. this is amazing. nobody ever reports it. to make healthcare more affordable for everybody and getting around some of the devastating obamacare mandates. there is an op-ed in "u.s.a. today" explains how the trump administration is now set to lay out a new rule. they are about to implement this. it will lower the cost.
6:06 pm
create choices by expanding association health plans. these plans allow businesses and trade associations to come together and buy health insurance plans in bulk. that saves a ton of money. and by the way a huge development. you get more care for less money. of the president also is taking steps to reduce the bloat. remember that 1.3 trillion-dollar okay my bus spending bill that nobody liked? well, thank god, he is -- he reluctantly signed it, this is the bill the president threatened to veto. he was forced to kind of sign it well congress left town. they are too lazy. now the white house is looking into using what is known as the impoundment control lack. it's a law from 1974. it gives the president the authority to cancel spending already approved by congress. by the way, they only need 51 votes in the senate, mitch. now, congress would have 45 days to approve the president's request to cut from the massive spending bill. again, he is keeping a
6:07 pm
promise. let's hope that happens. then, on top of all of, this just take a look at the side of your screen. you will never see this in the media. a list of just some of the president's many accomplishments during his short time in office. remember the heritage foundation they did a study the president's first year, they found he has already accomplished 64% of his agenda, which by the way, is higher than ronald reagan's 49% at the same time in his presidency. these are real, tangible achievements that help the forgotten men and women that voted in november of 2016 that the liberal media will never talk about because they never want to give the president credit for anything. and as we have been explaining president trump is just on fire and it's time for congressional republicans to follow suit. time to get a back pope. time to keep their promises. no more waiting around. let's see what happens in 2018. it's time for members of the g.o.p., keep their word. keep their promises. and that means they should build this someone wall. they should keep the 7 year
6:08 pm
prom noise repeal and replace obamacare. things they said and promised when they were campaigning. here's what's going to happen if republicans don't keep their promises, democrats are going to try to systematically undo every single one of those accomplishments, we will put them back on the screen. nancy pelosi has already threatened she will try repeal the tax cuts that benefit 90% of americans. by the way, you keep going, nancy, good job. don't stop. i want you to stay on message. it's up to congressional republicans to show some backbone, some spine and actually fight for the president's agenda that you voted for. now, former house oversight committee chairman jason chaffetz. now, he is going to join news a few minutes. he's out with a list 10 things congress should be doing right now. in the article chaffetz suggest congress should explain and clarify the conflicts of interest on special counsel mueller's team. i don't think there is an explanation. they should formally demand the appointment of a second special prosecutor with the power to prosecute.
6:09 pm
he lists call fisa court judges before congress to offer public testimony. they were all lied to. call attorney general jeff sessions to testify about outstanding congressional subpoenas. hold hearings on securing our borders. fortifying them with a wall and then pass legislation allowing the president to reallocate funds from the dod. and, of course, oakland mayor libby schaaf should be called to testify. facebook's mark zuckerberg and twitter's jack doorsy. they should be called to testify about speech suppression practices. this especially against conservatives. zuckerberg will testify before lawmakers next week about cambridge analytica. now congress by the way should make an effort to reform the broken budget process. they should give states the opportunity to vote on whether congress should be subject to balancing the federal budget and finally the senate should refuse to recess until every single one of the president's appointees have been voted on. mitch, time to work.
6:10 pm
congressman chaffetzlike here in a minute. first, we have breaking news tonight. house intel chairman devin nunes has sent a letter to the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and fbi director christopher wray. nunes is blasting the repeated stonewalling by the department of justice which is being led by rosenstein and refusing continually to hand over documents that have been subpoenaed by congress. remember, rosenstein is the guy that ran in to paul ryan's office back in january at the last hour begging speaker ryan to block congressman nunes' request for documents about all the fisa abuses in the dossier. we wouldn't have learned that had paul ryan capitulated. without those documents there never would have been a nunes memo and wouldn't have known about any of the massive scandals we are talking about every night unfolding like the fisa abuse, lying to judges to get a warrant to spy on a trump campaign associate. in that case carter page. rod rosenstein, why does he want to keep all of this a
6:11 pm
secret? why does he want to protect all his corrupt friends? now after months of obstructing, chairman nunes is demanding answers. by the way nunes has been asking for documents. some go back to august of 2017. rod, happened th hand the documr to the american people. that's how ridiculous this entire process is and nunes is now requesting the doj do their job and, of course, congress has their jobs, we have checks and balances, we have coequal branches of government. the doj turn over unredacted version of unredacted memo of the opening of the russia investigation. nunes set a deadline april 11th. given what we have seen from rosenstein, it's probably going to be a long time before the house intel committee gets to see this. the level of obstruction and protection, the incestuous nature of the relationships, this is beyond disgraceful. rosenstein has done everything possible that he can do to prevent congress from doing their job which
6:12 pm
is oversight. they have constitutional not only right but duty to do so. it's time for rod rosenstein to stop hiding the truth from the american people. his boss is the attorney general jeff sessions. and jeff sessions rightly said last week that he is angry at the slow pace that these documents are being turned over. well, you know what? well, the attorney general needs to do something about it. if the attorney general is angry, he needs to take action and force the deputy a.g. rosenstein to do his job. if rosenstein doesn't want to, then he needs to go. because that is how our government is supposed to work congress needs to be able to get answers on behalf of you. we now see corruption at the highest levels of government. you have a corrupt media, they are in major denial. they are besides themselves over reports that president trump did not currently -- let me repeat, not a target of the special counsel
6:13 pm
robert mueller wants corrupt investigation. now, despite this new development, the media is desperate. they are holding out hope. they are on their knees. they are praying to god that somehow, some way, robert mueller will still find a way to make donald trump the target and go after the president. think through this. if that ever happened, is that good for the country? is that good for the forgotten men and women of the country? does that create jobs? does that get people out of poverty and create food stamps? no. does it keep us safer? no. >> do they seem to care? no. take a look. >> subject means someone of interest to the grand jury. also someone on the road being charged with a crime. it's a big deal to be under criminal investigation by the fbi, particularly if you are president of the united states. >> certainly being the subject they shouldn't crack open the 14578 pain being the target of an investigation. >> target is somebody they are going to indict. president by policy is not
6:14 pm
be indicted. it's a little vegas what they are meaning, may be to make mr. trump relax. >> if someone walked into my office and said i was the subject of a multiyear criminal investigation led by former fbi director robert mueller, i would wet my pants. >> nontarget letter isn't worth the paper that it's printed on. because the prosecutor can just decide two days after he writes the letter that he wants to -- now he has made up his mind to charge you. >> you can't help but think maybe it's strategic. like tell him he is a subject. he likes being the subject. [laughter] >> we're going to discuss with some people who have experience in this just how often that occurs. that there is a little bit of shading of it when they are just on the verge of switching you into target. they still say you are a subject. >> sean: they they have been saying this for 18 month. the media is not trying to hide their bias. they want the president impeached. they will not stop until it happens. here is the thing. the media has been flat out wrong about everything regarding the russia investigation. now, constitutional law expert jonathan turley,
6:15 pm
democrat is scolding the abusively biased media in a new op-ed he has put out. here is the headline. when will the media accept that trump is not a criminal target? turley blasts the media for promising for over a year bombshell, bombshell, bombshell. smoking gun. it's all coming. here is what he told martha maccallum earlier tonight. take a look. >> we went through a long period where people talked about collusion as if there was some federal crime called collusion. and then that morphed into obstruction and then it morphed into things like, you know, campaign finance violations or other issues. all these things have case precedent. you have to satisfy those. you and i talked there are areas that should be of a great concern for president trump. these crimes have not strengthennenned over time. before comey was fired he told trump he was not a target of that
6:16 pm
investigation. it appears that nothing has changed after over a year. >> sean: you would think after a year of conducting a witch-hunt that mueller might have something on president trump but so far that does not appear to be the case. not to mention, by the way, this is something the media refusing to accept as constitutional law professor alan dershowitz is explaining oh, this is rough for the media to handle. collusion is not a crime. he will join us later tonight along with joe digenova. first, joining us now our top story fox news contributor jason chaffetz. i am holding this in my hand. this was a brilliant idea, 10 things congress should do but won't. and i read this and i am saying why wouldn't they, especially in light of everything that i just laid out that the president is doing, troops to the border, is he helping on healthcare, is he going to go back to the omnibus bill. he is doing what he can on his own. why don't the republicans want to do these things? >> donald trump wants to play offense. i can tell you having left
6:17 pm
congress about two weeks after, there is a whole new clarity that settles down on you. until republicans, who have been given the mantel of power, they were elected and put into office to get things done, until they actually play offense, guess what, they will be on the receiving end of attacks. >> sean: if they would too these simple things, fully fund the border wall and begin the construction, the money is there i still think the president can get it from the dodd. idod. repeal obamacare. why do i believe that's good politics and everyone is worried about the blue wave in 2018. that would mitigate the blue wave. >> just do what they said they were going to do and do it in proactive way. jim jordan talks about it. this is what the american people elected us to do. let's try it and see what happens. >> sean: i see hillary clinton fixed the primary. maybe i'm the only personal in the world who cares about
6:18 pm
bernie sanders supporters. that's kind of corrupt. okay, hillary clinton, she deletes 33,000 emails. she acid washes the hard drive. bleach bit. then she takes hammers or has people taking hammers and busting up these devices. then the fix is in with strzok, comey, page loretta lynch and the tarmac meeting. they are writing exoneration once before the investigation. they interview her. two days later they exonerate her. then you have the whole dossier and then you have lying to fisa court judges. >> you have to understand that director comey went to president-elect trump and said hey, there is in dossier. it's unverified. >> sean: in january of 2017. >> that's right. here's this bogus thing. meanwhile he had signed his name off. >> sean: three months earlier. >> presenting it to the court. why was it good enough to present to the court now that there is a president-elect trump and president trump coming into office, suddenly he is making excuses for it.
6:19 pm
that is something that both sides of the aisle should be looking at. >> sean: is that a crime? in other words, i have got to believe that james comey is in a heap of trouble between leaking this information that he had -- that was supposed to be confidential and privileged with the president and what he did with the special counsel to get appointed. then he has got this issue. then he morphed into exonerate hillary and lays out 13.5 minute case and says never mind. i think he is in trouble legally. do you. >> i do think. he had john ratcliffe in the house judiciary committee point blank when did you make this decision only to find out later, months later the revelation they started writing this exoneration months before director comey stood up in july of 2016 and said, you know, we don't find anything there there. i think he is in deep legal problems. that's why you need a second special counsel. the fbi cannot investigate itself. >> sean: have you ever seen
6:20 pm
such corruption. >> i haven't and it scares me. there is 11,000 people at the department of justice and they're good, hard working patriotic people. >> sean: by the way and so is the fbi. is not rank and file fbi or intelligence people. >> no, it's not. you had the head of the beast here. you look at the people in the senior most position. and that's different in electronic age now we have text messages and emails. remember when the fbi said they couldn't find five months worth? you had handcuffs on you would be in jail. >> sean: you wouldn't be able to get me out. >> no, no. >> sean: nothanks a lot. i would take a cake with a file. have you ever heard of an fbi director taking a case away from a field office, putting it in a special category and writing an exoneration months before you investigate or talk to the key witnesses in the >> and then you combine that with the people what's going on with robert mueller now? one of the things i put on my list of 10 is that they should actually bring up and they should have director
6:21 pm
mueller and rod rosenstein testify before the house. >> sean: do you think he belongs in his position. >> he should brought be of before congress and talk about the conflicts of interest. that would illuminate a whole set of problems. >> sean: great job to fill in for laura. laura is back on monday. >> she is wonderful. she one the best. >> sean: that was more for the liberal media. >> appreciate it. >> sean: you will definitely want to hear from joe digenova and esteemed legal scholar alan dershowitz. a lot of news to get to tonight on hannity. stay with us. ♪ ♪ maria's always on the go,

political differences endangers democracy. alan dershowitz and former u.s. attorney for the district of columbia, joe digenova, two of the smartest lawyers in the country. last night i got incredible reaction to your comments. collusion is not a crime. but we go from collusion to object destruction to the bank records. he is not a target. the media is he is not a target but still in jeopardy. there is no winning here. >> i have to tell you if after a year of very thorough investigation and going after all the low-hanging fruit and getting people not only to sing but some of them even perhaps to compose, if they couldn't have shifted him from a subject to a target there is nothing there. >> sean: are they hoping? >> of course they are hoping. they understand that now they are going into very weak issues. collusion. i challenge mueller to tell me what statute is violated by collusion there is a memo
6:27 pm
now by rosenstein authorizing him to investigate collusion with the russians by manafort. but you can't investigate sins. can you only investigate federal crimes. and there is no such federal crime collusion. >> sean: how do they not know that. >> they no it, but they hope that by investigating collusion they will get somebody to obstruct justice, to commit perjury, to commit one of these other peferl crimes as they always say it's in the coverup. but it's not the coverup. it's that prosecutors induce coverups which is why innocent people shouldn't be testifying unless they absolutely have to because you can be indicted for perjury even if you tell the truth. if you say something that somebody else says differently. >> sean: that's a spectacular statement. you could be indicted for perjury for truth. >> that's right. if prosecutor contradicts you. you are indicted for perjury even though you told the truth. >> sean: i will get back to that question in just a second. let me go to joe degeneral.
6:28 pm
have a rod rosenstein issues this letter to mueller, allowing him to go after paul manafort the way he did, the week after they did the rate. why do i think the order of that legally needs to be reversed? >> well, let's say, this first of all, about rod rosenstein, his conduct from the beginning of this has been a disgrace legally and every other way. he is an embarrassment to the administration. it is truly too bad that he cannot be fired. let's be very clear about this. the president has never been a target. the fact that he has been recently notified that he is the subject means absolutely nothing. he is not even a subject. he is a witness. a subject is a person hesitate conduct is within the scope of the grand jury's investigation. what's the hell does that mean? that means they don't have anything on him. there have been 19 criminal cases. not one piece of evidence against the president of the united states. and now we are told that mueller wants to interview the president of the united
6:29 pm
states who knows nothing. who has been a witness to nothing. who is not a target of the investigation. what we are seeing now is conduct by two public officials, robert mueller and rod rosenstein that is unethical, unprofessional, an embarrassment to the united states government and is undermining equal enforcement of the law. >> sean: there is no doubt. >> because of what they are doing to a president of the united states. rod rosenstein single-handedly has taken away from the sitting president of the united states 16 months of his presidency by incompetence. you know why rod rosenstein appointed mueller? he didn't want to make the tough decisions you would have to make if you were supervising a case being run by a united states attorney like huber. rod rosenstein is a coward. he is a disgrace to the department of justice. it's a shame. >> sean: you can't fire him. >> it's a shame the president cannot fire him because of the political consequences. >> they can't fire him.
6:30 pm
it's amazing he hasn't been recused. >> correct. >> he is the main witness on whether or not collusion or whether or not -- i'm sorry, whether or not obstruction of justice occurred with the firing of comey. >> sean: doesn't the president have absolute right to fire anybody. >> he does. politically have there is a right to do it and it being right to do it. comment on one thing joe has said. he is absolutely right they have deprived the right of the president to govern. the republicans did the same thing to clinton. when they impeached him. >> sean: six years into his presidency. >> well, still, they made a mistake and they paid a heavy consequence for it i think the democrats would pay a heavy cost if they made the same mistake. trying to impeach without being able to remove. >> by the way, i want to say something about this notion that mueller wants to question the president. what does he want to question him about? he cannot question him about the firing of comey. that is an article 2 constitutional authority. >> i agree.
6:31 pm
>> that the president has to fire comey. he had every write to fire flynn. suppose they say what were you thinking when you fired comey? what were you chilling when you fired flynn? >> sean: what dined of question is that? >> these are the kind of stupid questions that could be asked. this is a perjury trap. plain and simple. it is nonsense. this is absolutely outrageous, it should end right now. >> sean: here's the question i have, because i'm sure robert mueller does want to question the president. professor? >> yeah. >> sean: i would advise him not to. i don't have your experience. to me it's a trap. >> written questions. written questions. >> sean: joe, one second. hang on, professor. >> here's the problem. the special counsel has the power to put him in front of a grand jury without a lawyer. so he has some leverage. what i would suggest and the president should -- might consider this is if he is asked a question why did you fire comey, his answer is
6:32 pm
you're not allowed to ask me or question any article 2 i make. you can't question justices for their vote. if i acted within the authority of article 2, i cannot be compelled or asked why i did something. >> sean: would you advise this president to say no to any interview? >> i'm not advising the president. >> sean: no, you are not. would you advise the president? >> i would suggest that it would be best if the president refused to answer certain questions that intruded on his article 2 powers. >> sean: last word, joe, same question. >> the president should not agree to an interview in my opinion. i'm not giving him legal advice. i'm talking on this show. the president should act the most answer written questions in a very limited area and he should never ever be interviewed. this is abomination and violation. >> sean: even a year over executive privilege that battle should be waged? >> my opinion the president should not sit down for an
6:33 pm
interview. he can answer written questions in a very limited area. maybe 10, 12 questions. >> what if is he subpoenaed in front of grand jury? what we do then? >> what you do at that point is you have to argue article 2. and if bob mueller want to take the president of the united states who is not involved in any of the 19 charges that he has brought thus far, into a court over testimony, i think that that is -- would be one of the most disgraceful periods in american history. absolutely outrageous. >> sean: you guys are amazing. i want you guys on every night. this is really important commentary. thank you both. >> rare that joe and i agree with anything. today we agree on most things. >> today it's perfection. >> sean: thank you both. when we come back, roseanne's ratings off the charts. so is it time for the media, hollywood, to maybe look at their ongoing attacks against conservatives? joe concha, larry elder and more, we have a lot of news to break straight ahead.

[laughter] you know what they're thinking? i can't believe this loser isn't spanking me. [laughter] >> sean: roseanne's rating success could be a wake-up call to the liberal media and hollywood. somethin' tells me they are too arrogant. they are too obsessed with hating donald trump. take a look at this latest cover from new york magazine that depicts the president as a pig. and by the way it doesn't stop there this is brutal.

whatsoever. >> sean: i just find this part insulting, especially she is an extraordinarily bright woman. she is reading a children's book. something that first ladies do. michelle obama did it as well. and if you are not injecting yourself into politics, larry, why? what's the point? >> well, i consider the trump to be pretty tough people and melania to be pretty tough as well. as you pointed out she speaks five languages i'm pretty sure what jimmy kimmel said she is going to shine it on. success towards conservatism and donald trump hardly. 90% of hollywood's political money goes to the left. you look at people like steve colbert, sean, his numbers go up when he started attacking donald trump. when an a list young actor. >> sean: that's fair game. he is the president, fair game. if you go really low and petty like that, i just -- i don't know. what do you think? >> i think that this is

nothing new. and i think that actually what we're seeing now is donald trump, the president, and melania trump, they are being made to be sympathetic figures. and then i look at the rcp average of polls, right? that's all the major polls. >> sean: real clear politics. speaking jargon. they take 8 polls. >> rcp all right, enough. >> since december the president is up five points in that poll. and considering how polarized this country is and considering how overwhelming the media coverage is to jump 5% over all those polls, that's pretty big. >> sean: what do you think of roseanne's sces? larry elder? >> it shows you there is a market of people that don't get their point of view insulted. there is a whole market of people who want to turn on the television set. kick back, eat some popcorn, drink a beer and not have their views insulted. that's what this show is showing. sean, one of the principle
