you are making me rethink that vacation in kabo. >> tucker: that's it for tonight. see you, have the best weekend. >> jeanine: welcome to the special edition of hannity. trump on offense. i am genein piro in for sean hannity. the summit with north korea may be back on. here's what president trump said earlier today. take a look. mr. president, is the summit still off? >> we'll see what happens. it was a nice statement and we are talking to them now and they very much want to do it.

everybody plays games. >> jeanine: he said we will soon see where it would lead. hopefully to prosperity and peace and only time and talent will tell. james mattis is saying that the two sides may come to the table. take a look. >> we have possibly good news on the korean sumilate. they may have it back on even. the president sent out a note about that. and let you all know that that's a usual give and take you know, putting together big sumiments and stuff. diplomats are still at work. our point of view here in the defense department, that is

a fine thing. >> jeanine: the increased america might in the naval a address. >> we have begun the great rebuilding of the united states management. we have end happen the disastrous defense sequester. no money for the military. those days are over. [applause] and we've just secured. you read all about it. a $700 billion largest ever amount of money to support our great war fighters. >> jeanine: joining us with reaction is donnial hoffman and bret bellakovic.

good evening, gentlemen. i am start with you, daniel. are we witnessing as we look at the last 24 hours from where did it begin with wednesday peyongchang saying that the u.s. is looking for an appalling tragedy to occur and the president changing the summit and if you change your mind, don't hesitate to call. is this the kind of thing that happens in all diplomatic negotiations? >> it is particular to north korea, the hermit kingdom which is one of the most closed kingdoms on the county. and chemical and biological and nuclear weapons to go along with it. and important to note that north koreans played a hand. and secretary pompeo said they

rejected planning meetings and disparaged our vice-president and the national security advisor and the president called their bluff. the response from north korea was conciliatory. it could only strengthen our hand. >> jeanine: how different was this than noerngzs with obama and iran negotiations? >> it is it a lot different. the chess move from the president works. if it was the same deal with iran we would be begging to them to come to the negotiating table for them to sign a paper. and what we are seeing here is a seeing a significant thing. and the president did the right thing.

>> jeanine: it was interesting listening to secretary of defense mattis talking about we possibly have good news. how victim offed isment military in the negotiation stage? it was interesting seeing mattis up front there? >> that was deliberate on the president's part. and the military is the teeth behind the diplomatic and economic and information effort that is going on here and the president is masterfully synchronizing all of that. and one, to provide the trained and ready forces to say with confidence that we can attack and we can defend and do whatever we need to do and that message is very important. he advises the president on the state of readiness and the president is forceful in saying we have a trained force. and the biggest defense budget ever and that is two key pieces

that the secretary of defense plays in the negotiations and operational stuff on the ground in south korea that general vince brooks and his team will do as they head to singapore. >> jeanine: and daniel, in line with what general ta tum just said. north korea released hostage and whether or not that blowing up of the nuclear site renders it unusable we are not sure. even though there is a back and forth, north korea is doing what it should be doing and president trump said i will not meet you until you agree to denuclearize. >> yeah, the price of admission was first and foremost release hostages and then take care of nuclear test sites. they have apparently eliminated them. and now we'll have to wait and see whether they are serious

about coming to the table. and only time will tell. we did synchronize the message well. secretary pompeo was clear if north korea didn't want to negotiate we'll revert to maximum economic military pressure. > jeanine: a lot of north korea leaders promised denuclearization. even yesterday with the blowing up of that site. no one was there from our side to substanteate that. >> right, it has to be verifiable and irreversible. that is a problem. in 2008. we have to look at history there. they are watching the destruction of the cooling tower.

the north koreans had a separate facility ready to go. and they used an explosion for media coverage, but in the end they deceived us. and one of the things that i haven't seen defined here, is how do both sides define the denuclearization. peninsula? i just don't know why they would give up the nuclear arsenal for the sanctions. the president will have to convince kim jong-un whomentes really regime preservation and a new economic situation, he has to convince kim jong-un that he can preserve his regime. >> jeanine: it seems north korea is doing the moveingly.

>> you look at the letter north korea sent back. it is a bigger conversation than denuclearization. secretary pompeo talked about having north korea on parwith south korea. remember kim jong-un was educated we believe in switzerland right? he has a western education and came to power with two visions, his father and grandfather came with a self relint nation and military. and so he may be willing to tradeoff nuclear power if we come in with building infrastructure and remember, there are families that are still devided from the demarcation line. and north korea can become an economic powerhouse and this could be the end game for kim

jong-un and president trump. >> jeanine: one of the things that i found so interesting. that kim jong-un had skis frentic personality and next day he wants to reunify with south korea and games and his people didn't go to a meeting where they were supposed to set up the actual logistics for the meet. there were reports that he was afraid of being knocked off. can you talk about that? >> that is a challenge for the intelligence community. the intelligence community and they will play an important role in providing the intelligence to the president on what exactly kim jong-un is thinking and including some of the elites that may be influencing his behavior.

that is a theory that is out there and certainly possible that some were concerned that he was moving too fast and they wanted to put the breaks on him. i would caution everyone that kim jong-un is in pretty sdrong control. he has a habit of killing those who threaten him and so, i think he has strong control over his country and that may be a story that was let out and might not be true. i would highlight the valley of intelligence on this case. and i would emphasize, too. we are in for the long haul. neither side should expect immediate gratification and we heard about the extraordinary challenges that await him. >> when you think about it. the president navigated extremely difficult waters.

even in contention for the nobel piece prize. >> i think so. no president or sitting president has ever met a north korean leader and there's no doubt it would be historic. and no doubt this is the deal of the century and it will define the president you know in his career and he can't fail at this and so i am rooting for him. and i know others are looking to see him fail. this is it big are than just us in america. it is a deal for the rest of the world. ncontention nobel piece prize? >> slightly. i think it is the art of the deal. the president wants it for the world and not the nobel peace prize. >> jeanine: he has said that. gentlemen, thank you very much. president trump went on offense against the deep state actors

who are trying to hurt his presidency and the american people. we'll have that and more as special edition continues. and the safey for "most parallel parallel parking job" goes to...

happened. >> jeanine: that was president trump going on offense against the deep state. he wrote on twitter today. democrats are alluding to the concept much having an informant policed in an opposing party's campaign is different than having a spy. what about an informant that is paid a fortune and sets up way earlier than the washington hoax. and the president wrote, can you imagine having spies placed in a competing campaign for the sole purpose of political advantage and gain and to think that the party in question lost? the president's comments are causing people like former cia director john brennan to lash out. take a look. >> what is the difference of an

informant and a spy. >> it is typical of mr. trump to mischaracterize. this is it something that mr. trump is masterful at in terms of twisting the truth to support his narrative. a lot of people complain that the f.b.i. and others didn't do enough to uncover what russia was doing. this is what the f.b.i. was supposed to do and thank goodness they did it. >> jeanine: joining us is it the author of the russia hoax. greg jarret and tom fenton and charlie hurt. i will start with you, did the f.b.i. have a legal basis to start a basis to launch an intelience probe? >> they had neither. and the evidence is clear and yet they launched this dilating

investigation in candidate trump and continued with president trump. and so the president is rightly outraged and i am happy he is experiencing it that they essentially used a spy to infiltrate his campaign to elicit and induce and entrap people to say incriminating things. that is it a crime. that is call would abuse of power and did deprivation of rights. they deprive candidate trump the right of privacy and first amendment rights. >> jeanine: there is a lot of tawning of informant and spy. what is the difference if there is it one at all? >> there is no practical difference. the obama administration, the top leadership this week was forced to admit they did have someone targeting the trump

campaign and on the pay rol of more than one agency. and they would have to go back to the synths to find anything in terms of governmental abuse. you hear clapper and brennan and comey and the rest criticize president trump for highlighting tlv corruption. you are looking at a list of people who have civil and criminal activity. and you know, when you hear brennan go crazy and attack trump like he is. you have on wonder why on earth was he allowed near counter intelligence investigation. he obviously hated him and that explains why things went off the rails. >> jeanine: charlie, when they say obviously hate the donald

trump. you had the f.b.i. and intelligence company top tier that hated president president x. yet a year ago devin nunez and it appeared there was something cooking here. and the they tout devin nunez was off of his rocker, it is all coming to fruition. >> devin nunez, everyone thought he was meeting bienterarly and meeting with skwlensigence officials in the white house grounds and the press made fun of him. basically all. concerns that he hinted at over a year ago came to fruition. and as tom pointed out. even the democrats are having to acknowledge that yes indeed, they did insert a spy into the political campaign. it is unprecedented. we heard of this kind much thing

in the '60 and '70s. it is not as bad and extensive as this. these people are going and actively punishing people, political opponents which is shocking. >> jeanine: it is it shocking and the amazing part of it, greg, look, the republicans are looking at people whose names we only heard of. bill pres staff. he was director. and he helped to change the name from gross negligence to extremely careless and then michael stien back and colon. and these are people in the upper echlon of the f.b.i. and calm would before congress and you think they will take the fifth or tell us what happened? >> so far they have obstructed and the judiciary committee is trying to question, high ranking officials. f.b.i. and the f.b.i. has been

refusing. that is obstruction much congress. that is it a classic trough for people to claim that the f.b.i. cannot talk about a pending investigation. that is it fru except for congress, which has a constitutional duty and a right under a lawful subpeona to obtain the tell. it is obstruction much congress to fail to comply. and the president is right to demand as chief executive of that branch that the doj and f.b.i. comply with the law. >> jeanine: i have given you a lot of credit in the past and you have done things that congress hasn't been able to do. it is your determination and perseverance to get records that got things that congress hasn't been able to get. so right now, we have the f.b.i. and department of justice as greg said stone walling, slow

walking and saying they don't have records when they do have records. and they have been lying. what does the president do at this point? he is the chief executive and what should he do to get the information out? >> he is order a mandatory declassification review of the documents in a reasonable amount of time and have the lawyers in the white house council's office and outside experts and they want to follow-up on to make sthur nothing is held inproperly. there is a process in court for the various text message. he could order them to start complying with the transparency laws. these agencies don't think they answer to the president or congress. they are i think protecting the

mueller operation that had its origins in the spying and fisa warrant and they are taking up the phone records of the campaign and unmasking and use for the clinton dossier. that's all part of the muellerbation. if he is uncovered it ends. >> jeanine: i have been critical of the fact that the republicans are not doing anything. not those who are doing atz much as they can. but it is time to get this thing rolling and conskrens and accountability and that's why donald trump is it president. charlie, what do you say to those people who sap it is just more hearings to the make the democrats oif to # and protective national skiert. >> they are all stalling. and you look at the things, call them crimes that are committed

in the campaign and after the campaign, why did they do it? >> they did it with ball parks they thought hillary clinton would win the leksz. and we know that and so what do we do that. 've now. >> they think they will win control. and then they will go corit. i think the president should begin declassify and have a show down. >> these people do work for the cutive branch. they are accountsable to the legislative blanch. >> andet the strzok nopt toefing. and he it is important to telling the truth. and he can cut himself a deal

because he is until jeopardy. >> they it is and we republicanan cent attorney yonl. and that is a loss to the people people. offence with only a kite, a house key and a wet hemp string,

democrats in congress refuse to close these loop holes including the disgraceful practice of catch and release ms13 gang members. i called them animals the other day and i was meet with rebuke. they said thaer people. they are not pooem. these are animals and we have to be very, very tough. >> jeanine: the president explained why we need to be tougher. >> everybody knows what is going on. they are vicious killers and the laws are more believe and we are bringing them up by the thens and this is a really that i don't like to talk about. they should be in the country but we are doing from the stand point of law enforcement a great job and the democrats are

sticking up for ms 13. you heard nancy pelosi trying to find reasons why they should stay. they are stone cold vicious killers. >> joining us is a former deputy assistant to president president sebestian gorka and author of the geraldo show. geraldo rivera. gentlemen, i understand geraldo what the president said about ms 13 was in reaction to what someone said before about the ms 13 gang member and that's why he was called them animalingly. even you a smart person thought he was talking about everyone as animals. take it back. >> the president's remarks were released by piecemeal by people criticizing him for using the

contest. and i thought he talked about immigrants generally and it was disconcerting to me. and i complained about it and i heard from sean hannity and he said red the entire context. and then i a mended my establishment. i still think that when you use hot button like savage or animal you have to be careful that you are not demonizing an entire group and that's what the democrats seized on and the president creates more problems. the president is right. they are a menace and just as the bloods and cripsar a menace. and the other, just like the maif ia was a menace and the russian mob is a menace and they are horrible people and no right

to be in the country and wiwant deported for sure or behind bars. we have to be careful not to paint with an brautd brush. >> jeanine: dr. gorka. i sentenced someone in a murder sentence and i called him an animal and belonged in a cage and i got heat for that. one of the reasons that people love president trump and he's elected he is a straight talker. if you take a baseball bat to a queen-year-old and machete and cut them up, you are an animal. and the frustrating part in 2014, there was a big influx from central america. they said i am a latin king and ms and i think we were letting them in, should we have? >> look, i am a little disappointed with geraldo's

nonapology. you have met the president and how can you pause it for a mili second that he thinks that all immigrants are animals. he is married to an immigrant. he was taken out of context and that was not an accident. they had headlines and said he called undocumented immigrants animals that is a lie. he talked about ms 13 gang members and this organization, the name comes from the violence initiation retual that you have to go through to be a killer. and yeah, judge, it is it amazing to have a president who finally talks the truth and has common sense and he connects with the american people. >> jeanine: should president obama let them in knowing who they were. you know all ms 13 members have to kill somebody.

should the president have let them in? >> i think historically, judge, we vet have to set the stage. >> jeanine: no, i am asking a question. >> i know, i want to talk about ms 13. it was identified as the menacing organization relatively recently in 2004. >> jeanine: when i was a da, i knew they were animals and now president trump lets them in. you have to let them in, in 2014. >> i think the >> that is -- >> let me finish my remark. the problem with inflammatory remarks like dr. gorka's attack on me just now. >> jeanine: what is the big issue? >> we as lawyers and people and care about law and order. we wantment federal, and state

and local governments to use every tool in their position and crush the criminal organizations. they are organized criminal organizations and have no police in the society. immigrants or documented. >> jeanine: what is your point? >> gang banger and illegal citizen and they have no place in american society. my point is simple. when you talk about ms 13. a tiny sliver of 11 million odd undocumented immigrant you danger to paint with a broad bush. punish>> jeanine: that is baloney. >> you may not agree with me, but it doesn't baloney. why do you think that the temdems took him out of context. >> because they lie all. time. the italian people complained about being painted by the broad

brush of mafia. and ms 13, every respectable latino wants them eradicated. >> jeanine: and that's why we have to be straight shooters. i want to finish this, geraldo. the legal immigrants and illegal immigrant and chamber maid and person waiting on you want them gone. let's call them what they are. it is about time saying this is right or wrong and this is you know, this is it legal and this is illegal. >> i just want to us to stop making it right, left, red and blue. this is something that everyone should stand united. the vast latino are hard working and want to be a part of the american dream and they don't want rapist and murderers. >> jeanine: and they work hard and they stay here and no one is

looking to get rid of those people. it is it the criminal and animals of ms13. >> you and i are in sync as we usually are. >> jeanine: coming up. we'll play a tape and get reaction. this is a special edition of hannity continues. of hannity continues. the closer you get to home, the more you know the commute is worth it. you and that john deere tractor... you can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. it's a longer drive. but just like a john deere, it's worth it.

>> the meeting between president trump and the north korean leader kim jong-un may be back on. president trump said we are having productive talks about north korea about reinstating the summit and if it does happen we'll likely remain on the same

date in singapore. morgan free man re71ing to the sexual misconduct actions. he said he never created an unsafe work with. he joke and apologizes if it didn't come across that way. the accusations were unwanted touching and comments. >> and log on to fox news.com. >> have a great evening. >> democrats like to democrats like to campaign as moderates in election time. but when they go to washington, they always vote for the adical pelosi agenda down the line. can you imagine having nancy pelosi as the speaker of the

house. can you imagine? we'll need to after the accident length more members of congress to protect life and support our military and secure our border and grow our economy and continue to make america great again. if democrats gain power, they will try to reverse the incredible gains. they are historic agains and they will try to reverse many of them. >> jeanine: welcome back to the special edition of hannity. that is president trump warning americans what will happen if democrats win in the midterm election. and the president tweeted. democrats are so obviously rooting against us in our negotiations with north korea. just like they are coming to the defense of ms 13 thugs and saying they are individuals that must be nurtured and ask to end your tax cuts. dems have lost touch.

and it is the democrats who can be in trouble. he wrote an article entitled, a civil war is looming for democrats. doug joins us now and also with us and radio talk show host gina lowden and turning point founder charlie kirk. doug, talk to me about your article. >> you have the progressive that reflect much much what donald trump is saying. and then we have moderates like we do not dudle ms 13 and they are an mamand we need them out of here. and we make it clear we don't want nancy people peel as speaker. wement a pro growth agenda and we don't redistribution but compromise on health care and immigration.

the democrats can win the house as moderates, they cannot win as leftest progressive. >> jeanine: what do the primaries prove in >> a number of moderates that are outsiders did prevail. the week before it was progressive winnings. we are having a fight again message and where the democrats come down, judge. they come down resisting trump and to win. they need a positive pro growth agenda. >> she had no message and there is a traditional democrat message. i am a bill clinton democrat. and we did it with a balanced budget and welfare reform and i speak to them and stand up for. >> jeanine: gina, the left is unfortunately, you know, in

sitting with ms 13 and roding for north korea and can they possible win? >> you know, it is it a question going back years and i have seen deplaques mement and in america and in history we rarely see an entire population of people so out of touch that they would pick ms 13 members over the american angel moms that lost their children and higher taxes and for creeing out loud, nuclear war with north korea. it doesn't make sense. you can see the spy gate thing go down, it begins to remind you of at the end of the ring. you are watching the annihilation happening and it is grotesque and people who are decent people who disagree with

you like doug and it is it hard to watch. >> jeanine: you don't disagree. aren't you in agreement that tax cuts are good? >> yeah, i would have done more worry individuals and less business. >> jeanine: and ms 13 are animals. >> yes, we have to get rid of them. >> jeanine: good, good. charlie, what do the dems have to do. let me start with the premise. every first term president mid- term loses. his party always loses and that is almost man date given; is that going to happen this time? >> no. the democrats found a way to mess it up. now the republicans are leading. doweling, you are an old school democrat. the democrat party today is not what you are describing. you are scribing a moderate

republican agenda for american. they want universal health care and bernie sanders won the primary and hillary clinton stole it for him. your blend and breed of democratic party is nearly extifrpth. >> i am trying to bring it back. >> good for you. socialist are having more success than the moderates in the base of the democratic party. the pathological resistance of president trump is going to hurt them so badly in infer. bring back isis? raise your taxes. restart the korean war and i say it, but in the last week, you have seen democrats defend ms 13 and hamas and because of the resistance to the president. and at what point, are they going to recognize good coming out of the white house. de dean>> jeanine: the president is

clearly negotiating in difficult waters and he's making a difference i think. >> i applauded like most right thinking americans when the summit was on. and when we were standing up in sing more and the president pulled out. i think every right thinking american, i want and hope the summit is on. but i don't stand with hamas or our enemies like ms 13. i stand with eseral and making jerusalem the eternal capital of israel. in am sorry. >> 0 democrats want that. >> jeanine: i think we all can agree, this is it the next election not just one person but the direction we want to take the country. i don't think it will change, do you think? >> i think it is it madness right now and why the poll've

president is polling higher than obama at this point. and i am thinking that the blue wave, will be like a wet blankement. >> thank you so much to all of you. >> thank you. >> coming up. more on the special edition of hannity after the break. stay with us. benjamin franklin captured lightening in a bottle. over 260 years later, with a little resourcefulness, ingenuity, and grit, we're not only capturing energy from the sun and wind, we're storing it. as the nation's leader in energy storage, we're ensuring americans have the energy they need, whenever they need it. nextera energy.

and this is an ingraham angle special. the script is flipping, as the investigators, under investigation. tonight we will examine the issues. whether spygate is the watergate of our era, or whether timing is key to proving whether the obama administration spied on the trump campaign. former agents claimed that president trump simply made up spygate despite all the growing evidence. signs americans are fed up with russia, russia, russia, as democrats start to fear a major backlash. and whether trump can get
