constitution. people that would shred our bill of rights, fourth, second, third amendments. offer solutions to protect the interests of every american. this is not republican or democrat. this is not conservative or liberal. this is about what is right for this great country. so, we begin that's my mission. the mission of this show going forward. we want to look out for you, protect you, protect your family, fight daily to ensure this constitutional republic stays strong and vibrant for future generations. and sadly, that's at risk. we have powerful forces and you can see them every day in society that have now aligned to destroy the president that we we, the people have elected. it's a clear and present danger to every american. we are inviting you in every week night at the:00. i have promise you no other show on television like

this. tonight we start our hannity watch report on the hateful forces that are determined to destroy donald trump and his administration. let me be clear. they hate this president. and they also deep down they hate we, the people that voted for him. they can't believe we made that decision you don't believe me listen to long serving democratic congressman hank johnson. this just happened yesterday. take a look. >> americans elected an authoritarian anti-immigrant racist strong man to the nation's highest office. donald trump and his make america great again followers who want to return america back to a time when white men and white privilege were unchallenged. and where minorities and women were in their place much like hitler took over the nazi party, trump has taken over the republican party. >> tucker: these type of ignorant hate-filled

analogies are happening every day. when they are not comparing us to nazis, well, remember, we're the smelly walmart people as fbi agent peter strzok called us or the irredeemable deplorable that hillary clinton told us. remember when obama referred to us he's the bitter, angry americans that actually claim to our god, our guns, our bikes and religion. many of these forces are forces of hate. we know that many hate the president. they hate we, the people. on this show we are not going to be hapght them back. them -- hating them back. instead every night on this program he would will be exposing them and what is the corrosive politics of division. this is what i call out five major forces of hate. you have the democratic party. if donald trump cured cancer today and gave every american millions of dollars today, every one. and thissal still try to diswoid this man. as he represents to them the biggest on stick kel to them

regaining power. second perhaps the most obvious in america we have the hate trump media. it's now on tv every newscast every second of every minute of every hour of every day. a never ending nonstop trump hate fest u it's on a loop. and newspapers in this country, they are actually trying to outdo each other showing how much they hate trump the most. now, when is the media ever told you about these things, for example. this is what hannity watch is all about. what about the president's success over the last two years. what about the accomplishments that are scrolling on your screen that we are showing you tonight. night in and night out? things they never talk about. don't expect the mainstream media to show this report from real clear politics. look at this, detailing the president's top ten accomplishments of the year. promises made, promises kept u his his successful exphengt guy like brett kavanaugh last year got it done for the supreme court

or the squeeze on china for unfair trade practices or intellectually property. insteesed the highest in 12 years. the middle class that the democrats claim to care about. the u.s., mexico, canada trade deal. ending the iranian nuke adeal. top accomplishments 2018. when he moved the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. smashing isis. increasing the jobs. the lowest numbers unemployment numbers for minorities. keeping members of the migrant caravan are from pouring into the country. we can't forget, this is my favorite. america is now the largest oil producing nation nut bolder. not russia. not saudi arabia. the and that doesn't include the pipelines being increased. that doesn't include anwr. that will be malls of high paying jobs.

the keep state we already neuro hillary clinton play multiple felonies and violated espionage act we know she obstructed justice. we know she descroifd subpoenaed emails, erased hard drives u broke up phones and blackberries and iphones, he is et cetera with with a hammer. we've know people purposely rig you had the regulation to give her a pass that nobody else in america would ever get. that is not good for america. that's what we are asking tonight. is it dangerous? the answer is obvious. now, all of this allowed hillary to continue her pursuit of the presidency. remember, they thought she should win 100 million to zero and allow her to funnel money into a law firm. hire a op. research firm and russian sources. to create a dossier on donald trump. that's the collusion they were looking for but don't want to find. we, of course, have the

russian lies. never verified. never corroborated. then, disseminated to you, we the people before the 2016 election to influence the outcome of that election in her favor. and those same russian lies never verified were then used by top people at our intelligence community in the fbi, in the justice department. to get four fisa warrants to spy on a trump campaign associate both before and after the election. all signed off by top officials. here's a quell tonight. is that good for america or is that dangerous for america when you have fraud per traited on fisa court judges. no arrests, nobody held accountable. the court ignores the bigs as because of power scandal in modern history. this is allowed to continue. the united states of america will become a banana republic. might as well shred the

constitution because it would be rendered. equal application of our laws are similarly rendered meaningless. the keep state has been and is out to destroy the president. hate the president. and they are doing it by any means necessary, obviously, and that's based on what we know today. >> . we have week wicwe have never t. they hate the president. they want to say see, we were right. you were wrong. you nonintellectual blue collar hard-working tax-paying, law abiding americans. did you this to us. no, they are trying to undermine a free and fair election. now, imagine if any american tonight like you robert mueller scrubbed the phones of trump haters and russian investigators strzok and page, clean, wipe them

clean. imagine if like james comey that you bragged about tricking a 33 year war hero into an fbi interview by bypassing all the normal protocol and procedures that would -- that you would use in past administrations. imagine the deputy fbi director telling general flynn he didn't need a lawyer and then charging him for lying. on this show moving forward, we are looking to protect you protect this great country against forces of hate that would shred our constitution. this will be your show. we will be your watchdog. we plan to expose all of this corruption. all of these lies. oh you mean like hypocrisy when democrats supported building a wall and don't any longer because trump wants one. that there really is hit in miracle. real hate. that hate is aligns forces are trying to destroy the

president. they hate the president and hate us for voting for him. they hate traditional core conservative values that we hold near and dear to our hearts. i have will admit this one hour news program to be very blunt, this show will be an island unto itself. there already no other show. protecting deeply reld american values. we are department of education tailgating too typically truth about what's happening in the country. now we turn our hannity watch on border security tonight. look at this. a 5-month-old boy will never see his hero father again. newman california police officer, legal immigrant, ronil singh viciously murdered by illegal immigrant with a very long criminal track record and ties to violent gangs. now, the county sheriff adam christianson said that this horrific crime do not have happened -- would have been

prevented if not for california's catch and release sanctuary city status. take a look. >> i simply want to focus on the fact that this is a criminal, illegal alien with prior criminal activity that should have been reported to ice. we were predicted, law enforcement was predicted because of sanctuary laws and that led to the encounter with officer sing. i'm suggesting that the outcome could have been different if law enforcement wasn't restricted, prohibited, or had their hands tied because of political interference. >> sean: hands tied because of political interference. sheriff christianson is going to be with us tonight in just a moment. it's very clear california's far left lawmakers are not listening tout citizens of their own state. we sent lawrence jones to california to see what

californians really think about that state's sanctuary policies. remember, they have criminals that should be i do ported and hande -- deportedd over to ice. they set them freenchts a lot of people are blaming the california sanctuary state policies. do you agree with that. >> i think it's the worst thing california has donna long time. >> i'm not a big wall person. >> yeah. >> i think a sanctuary state is crazy. sanctuary city policy is the stupidest thing that democrats could have ever done in this country. >> jon: we will show you more. what happened in nuland, california is all too common occurrence. over the weekend a 22-year-old man in knoxville, tennessee killed by suspected illegal immigrant who crashed into oncoming traffic. three illegal immigrants indicted for the murder of a man living in long island. so many lies have been

senselessly lost at the hands of people who never should have ever been in this country ever on the federal level. let me say these statistics really slow so even nancy pelosi, who doesn't want to fund a wall and protected borders she can understanding. since 2014, 51 murder convictions have been handed down to illegal immigrants. 228 federal assault sentences. nearly 20,000 drug trafficking sentences. on the state level it's even worse. according to the gao and their estimates since 17964, 27,300 arrests for murder have been carried ought by illegal immigrants. over 120,000 sex offenses. near liver 400,000 ataught charges. over 1,000 acts of terror. here's a tough question.

i want people to fully understand this. if people keep getting killed, this 5-month-old boy will never see his father, his father the hero that got killed this weekend, because would have people in custody, we know they are here illegally. they commit other crimes. we don't hand them over to ice, we won't enforce uft law and do port them, well, is congress going to pay to raise the children of those killed like in the case of this california officer? will congress pay for the children's chimg education? will they at least pay for the piewrnl? at some point they bear some of the burden because these failed government policies are now aiding and abetting criminal activity that otherwise would not happen. if we enforce the law. if we protected our borders. and nancy pelosi and her fellow democrats they are now willing to shutt down the government to prevent

even a partial funding of a border wall that protects people on both sides. now this wall is designed to give border agents more timple that want to apprehend those who want to cross illegally. i will be the first to concede vast 99% who want to cross in you're on can i tri are looking for better life for themselves their families and children and opportunity they don't have in their own country. we have a light to noe who is coming into in country. we support legal immigration on new year's eve 150 individuals video. break across california's border with mexico. again, rocks other projectiles thrown at border agents. keep in mind those who successfully cross our border illegally on average, if they get across, criminal justice system, educational system, healthcare system, it's costing we, the taxpayers around $70,000 per

person. even top democrats a few years ago realize the importance of stemming the tide of illegal immigration. many of them sounded like donald trump. take a 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 from. and i do think you have to control your borders. >> people who enter the united states without our permission are illegal aliens and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who entered 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. >> those who enter our country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law. and because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we

cannot allow people to pour into the u.s. undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. >> sean: they sounded like trump. now because trump wants it, they don't want it. make no mistake. this pattern is important. it's about saving lives. it's about stopping illegal immigration and drug trafficking and human trafficking. the president must stay strong on his promise get that call fully build. they started of with you but they have more. i would consider this a national security issue. the commander-in-chief vantage point he could allocate $5 billion from the military budget and get the job done. government stays shut down. essential services. don't let the media scare you that continues. social security check also go out. the coast guard is on duty. our military branches are on duty and the people will be taken care of. but the cost of unfettered of illegal immigration is too high. the risks are too great.

>> how would you feel new everywhere family member of the officer month old son killed this weekend. this is an issue of life and deaf. drugs headed to small towns and big cities all across america. to my weak republican friends in washington. hold the line have a backbone, have a spine, you are there to serve the american people. we must give our border agents the tools they need, including the wall so they can end human trafficking, drug trafficking, violent criminals, each some terrorists or anybody else who plans to break our laws and hurt our fellow american citizens. we support legal immigration. on this program republican, democrat, i don't care. we will call you out, especially republicans who don't hold the line and fund a border wall. this is worth fighting for. and by the way the president has promised to make mexico

pay for the wall. >> he actually going to write a check? we have hannity on the campaign trail, take a look. >> you don't expect he is going to write a check. what you are say something they have to make concessions. >> there is many different ways. >> sean: you don't expect $10 million. >> it wouldn't look good. >> sean: deals you make would more than con pen say for the wall. >> each if we tax them. it doesn't make any difference. >> we have more on this throughout the show. all right, let's turn our attention just briefly to mitt romney. he has not been sworn in as senator. and romney is already launching a feckless attack against the president, following his op-ed slamming president trump for so-called character and leadership issues. well, the rnc chairwoman, ronna mcdaniel, his niece, tweeted well, for an incoming republican freshman centesenator to attack president trump as their first act feeds into what the democrats andth media want. it's disappointing and

unrepublican tia. our friend the great one mark levin issuing it's clear romfully would be force in the senate playing to the media praise him and seeking a presidency. i supported mitt romney. that he was the same media that beirutize dollars him in 2012. it's sad he has more interest in closing up for those people on the left who hated him than sticking up for protecting american citizens. american independence. securing our borders, inches issues he claims to care about. democrats pursue radical left agenda. in 90 days you will know how left they are. all right. we got to take a break. we have a new mission statement. i hope you will join us each week night at 9:00. when we come back we will check in with congressman steve scalise. lindsey graham, rudy giuliani for an exclusive interview and much more hannity watch every night. right here on the fox news channel.

>> people have been fantastic. you have headed it up. i have to say they really have done a great job. again, we want to finish it. we want to complete it. because you can't have a partial wall. people come through the area it's not built. the areas that are built, nobody is getting through. you can't get through. unless you are a world class pole vaulter in the olympic team it's very hard to get through. very few people are able to get through. >> sean: all right. as we continue our hannity watch on the border crisis. that was president trump from earlier today during his meeting with cabinet officials. now, this afternoon there was a briefing inside the situation room with congressional leaders about the border. republican congressman steve scalise was a part of that meeting and he joins us now

it's interesting and we go back a couple years ago all these democrats supported building wall, now they don't support building a wall. but the problem is people like this officer in california are dying because we are not enforcing the law. how does congress justify what i believe is aiding and abetting by releasing people that we know broke our laws and should be sent back. >> sean, it's good to be back on with you. what you saw today with a meeting in the white house with the president is an example what we have saw for a long time. a lot of these democrats who as chuck schumer did in 2006 voted for a wall. voted for by the way $25 billion for the wall. now the president is saying we need 5 billion next year and they are opposing it because of donald trump. not because of any policy issues. what do they say to officer singh and his family which a horrible heart breaking

story and unfortunately live it happens over and over every single day at the border. our homeland security secretary care citizen nielsen was getting ready to give a briefing on all of the problems, the crisis at the border, at the beginning of this white house briefing and pelosi, schumer, kept interrupting her because they didn't want to hear the numbers. the numbers, sean, by the way are alarming. have you seen these. last year alone over 3700 known or suspected terrorists were topped from entering our country. >> thousands of criminals, not just people coming over to seek the american dream like many would have you believe, people actually convicted criminals were stopped and those are the ones we stopped. how many got across where we don't know about and have bawls. when we have walls over 90% decrease in that kind of illegal activity and crossing. this is a national crisis that we have. the question is going to be are they for border security or not. they can't be against the things our experts say they

need to the border. that's what the funding battle is all about. >> sean: do you think prior position was versus today that this is all personal, this is all politics? at the edged of the kay. if you have a criminal alien ice as a matter sanctuary city or state policy, aren't they aiding and abetting whatever future crimes are committed in this particular case murder? did they aid and abet? >> clearly, have you got some of that blood on your hands if you are okay with that kind of policy. you can't deny what it does. because, here in a sanctuary city like you saw in california sanctuary state, they are not allowed, as the sheriff said, they are not allowed to turn those kind of criminals over when they are released from prison over to ice. they are not allowed to share some of that information with our border agents who are tasked with keeping our country safe. look, a lot of these democrats up here in congress, they don't even want ice. last year alone, sean, our

ice agents, our border agents on the interior of our country stopped and saved over 900 kids from being sexually asawlgted in human trafficking. that's going on at our border. and they are stopping it but they are surely not stopping all of it. so why would they oppose this kind of funding? it's because they are not for border security. you can't say you are for better secured and oppose things that experts say are needed to keep our country safe. >> sean: congressman steve scalise thank you for joining us. joining us now with more on the battle over the border the so-called big government shutdown which is never really a shutdown south carolina senator lindsey graham is with us. senator, it makes my blood boil because has happened time and again. we have people that didn't respect our laws or our sovereignty come to america, commit more crimes. they are in custody. and then they are literally like a state like california they are protected from the

laws of land. they commit horrific crimes. now, is california, are they going to pay the funeral costs? are they going to pay the college tuition? how do they explain to this 5-month-old little boy that daddy is never coming back again? well, these policies that make it more likely that terrorists, drug dealers and criminals can come to america and have safe haven. so you said before, i think steve is a great guy. he said democrats are not for border security. yeah, they are. except when trump is president. i have seen them in action. they have all voted for 25, $42 billion. you name the number for border security. they won't give a dime to this president because they want him to fail. walls work. trump said make a deal.

nancy pelosi. >> sean: you offered compromise. democrats say they care about the daca kids what is your compromise? >> compromise is give president the $5 billion we need for wall/border security as a down payment to securing the border. the daca population about 700,000, give them work permits, three year work permits so they don't have to worry about getting deported any time soon. the tps people came here from war torn areas hurricanes and floods, we know their legal status no pathway to citizenship and call it a day. it's called compromise. the president said let's make a deal. the democratic supports is basically go to hell. they are going to spend a bill mitch mcdonnell is nern every we need the wall. they all voted for the wall. the only way we are going to get the wall is to fight for

it. >> sean: this is a battle to me worth having. i know it's convenient. i support all those furloughed employees. i don't want them caught in the political crossfire. they deserve their back pay. >> right. >> sean: it's through no fault of their own that they are not viewed at essential services. > but does the president have other options for the wall? for example, why is this the not viewed. he is the commander-in-chief, is he in charge of national security of this country. why couldn't defense department funds be used to secure our border to stop the drug trafficking. human tasking and evening the criminal gangs and 3700 terrorists that steve scalise mentioned that were caught trying to cross our border. why is that not a national security defense department issue? >> can you move some money around but he will get food there will be lawsuits in california to stop any effort to have other agencies fund the border. but there is some money you can use for sure. why should this president have to play that game?

why should donald trump have to do that when democratic presidents and republican presidents in the past were able to get money to secure the border on democrats? >> sean: last question. >> he shouldn't have to do that. i don't know how this movie is going to end but we are not giving up until we get the money. >> sean: if it takes 150 days, i think the republican party needs to stand united with the president. i have confidence in you. i don't have confidence in some of your colleagues, but saving lives and stopping human drug trafficking is worth the fight. he needs to hold the line. >> let me tell you how our government works. any bill passed from the how fast has to come to the senate and has to get 60 votes for it to be signed into law the president has to sign it. he is not going to sign a bill that doesn't have money for the wall. i will tell you exactly how far this is going to end.

president is going to challengeth president to compromise. if they continue to say no, they will pay a price with the american people. most americans want to do two things. they want to secure our border. >> if he gives in now, that's the end of 2019 in terms of him being an effective president. that's probably the end of his president. donald trump has made a promise to the american people. is he going to secure our border. every democrat in the past border funding. now they are changing their find. >> sean: it's too important. too many lives at stake. to much danger to the country. senator, good to see you. >> that's et end of us if we give up on this inner as republicans. >> sean: both of your colleagues are pretty week. some olawrence jones went to california asking people what they think about that state's sanctuary policies. our special hannity watch report on the borders will continue and much more straight ahead. ♪

richardson. guys, i don't even know what to say. sheriff, i will start with you this man was a hero. he had a 5 month old son. wasn't this man already in custody and if they didn't have sanctuary city laws wouldn't he have been deported by this time? >> well, i would hope so, sean, and that's why we are trying to spirit a positive dialogue and find resolution to unlawful illegal immigration. this is really simple. if you set aside for a moment what we call political interference. what the sanctuary policies that have been discussed and set aside the media's effort to convince people that the sheriff is wrong. this really wasn't preventable, that we could have reported this individual to ice. set that aside for a moment and ask yourself the question. why are we allowing criminal illegal aliens into this

country and why is there any political interference in the first place in our ability to protect our communities and to have a communication or at least work with ice? >> sean: police chief, i look at this, my blood boils. thinking about this five-month-old kid. and from everything i have heard, corporal singh was just an outstanding officer when you know we have these criminal aliens in custody and as a matter of state law we don't follow national laws, at some point isn't the government aiding and abetting whatever else they do? >> you know, ron, like you said, was a great man. do you look at his son and his family they came here the right way. >> sean: legally. >> they had a dream and his

dream was to be a police officer. and he fulfilled that dream. i heard his brother say today and that his brother died doing what he loved to do and he died a hero and i couldn't agree with that more at some point does the government, by not enforcing what are our immigration laws and forbidding you as law enforcement officers as a matter of state law from enforcing immigration laws don't they have culpability here? sheriff? >> i believe they do, sean, and, remember, government's number one priority is to protect its citizens. that includes border security. it includes knowing who is here and knowing who needs to be removed. >> i will give you the last word, police chief? >> >> you know, it's tragic that we actually have to stand here today and have this conversation. i'll well aware that this is a very political situation. you couldn't script it any

more political. you have a legal immigrant and illegal immigrant that we are talking about. i want everyone to remember the family. what this man came here to do. >> sean: i want that, too. >> he was a police officer. it's time we start talking about having discussions about making communities talk to each other and getting back to where we were years ago where we weren't fighting amongst each other all the time. >> sean: all we have got to do sen force the law. enforce the law and lives will be saved. this can't happen anymore. we owe it to these families. this man was a hero. my prayers to his family, my prayers to your officers and fellow sheriffs out there and we deserve better. thank you for being with us. when we come back, you won't believe the segment over fake news cnn what they ran over the holidays. unbelievable. hannity media watch next. ♪ -these people, they speak a language we cannot understand.
