and many others, that's tomorro at nine eastern here on hannity. let not your heart be troubled. finally back from vacation. or it in graham is back in washington. did you have a good vacation? >> you took a different week than i did. doing to foist your superiority on me. w >> i was back at work and you were nowhere to be found. >> thank you for your gift. it was very meaningful. thank you so much. >> there was no gift. >> that's why it was meaningful. >> you didn't get me anything, so what are you talking about?n' >> you make more than i do. >> i've been here longer. great show tonight by the way. we will catch up on other topic later.

i amng laura ingraham. this is ingraham angle. the president announcing an ova office address.hefe how the white house plans to go on the often from this immigration. could he be in the position to pick up through third supreme court justice at some point later this year. joe biden versus barack obama. once best buddies, we will explain how the 2020 nomination fight could lead to a bitter breakup over the future of the democratic party. first, the crisis of crisis denial. that is the focus on tonight angle.e. getting back from christmas break, hannity is teasing me, i torture myself by reading and watching some of the usual suspects in the media. fake news populated by fake thinkers. there are basically two movements in the coverage.

first, the manufactured outrage about what is a partial, and obviously temporary government shutdown.or >> the nations third national park they are also having huge problemsro with garbage, toilet field to capacity. >> park visitors in some places taking care of business along half ways or in the woods. >> the people who are making th are still getting paid , but we have to not get paid and still do her job. >> it's going to come to a poin where you say, but to every ga in my car or do i feed my family . >> they haven't missed a paycheck yet. but by the way, second in this coverage is the downplayed concern about the actual effect that illegal immigration has on america. in the medias way of thinking, it's not a crisis at all. >> he was lying through his teeth last week we talked about the crisis at the southern border. point of all the

president had won elections tha there was a crisis at the border . he has decreed that sense of crisis to hawin and in the to k the sense of crisis to keep his popularity from going even further down. >> i am now completely confused. it's a crisis that certain nonessential government workers won't beov w paid starting on fy , but they'll ultimately get all their money when the government reopens. but it's not a crisis when just in the past fiscal year, a tota of almost 400,000 individuals were caught crossing our southwest border? to give you a sense of just how bad it is, in october and november, this past year, that' the first two months of that ne fiscal year 02almost 102,000 people have been c caught. the number of people crossing illegally with children has als skyrocketed. in the rio grande valley sector the number spiked 27 percent since last year jumping from

4,896 to fiscal year 263,278. not a crisis? this has been a crisis beyond the confines of tv studios in far behind the halls of congress . the media and politicians only acknowledge the crisis when the tragedy of an immigrant child makes the headlines. >> today's visit reaffirmed the fact that the federal governmen under the trump administration still has a long way to go in making sure that my migrants ar treated humanely. >> every life is precious, and you bet that every death is tragic. at the border and beyond the border. the fault lies with irresponsible parents who expos

their children to this perilous journey and othat set was politicians who refuse to do their job and support a common sense enforcement agenda that the president has and is island the form that is beyond desperately needed. past year i have repeatedly urged the president to address this critical issue and not just the wall and major primetime address.nd >> thees president needs to address this from the oval and bthis should become a flashpoi now, not after the midterm. this is a crisis that must be addressed immediately. >> i've said this on air. think it's the government and immigration. those two issues have a top the list for the people. the government meaning working against the people and immigration. we have to address the country, lay it out. >> today, i'm glad to see he an angst is doingse just that tomorrow night. it's going to be followed by a trip to the actual border in

mcallen texas. i would hope that when he does this, the president personalize the border crisis. the statistics i just gave you are important, but we need to emphasize how illegal immigration has directly and at times tragically affected the lives of all americans and including the people trying to come into the country. it's been dangerous for him. the speech should be wide-ranging. isom migrations to the visa lottery, the need for mandatory e-verify in the workplace. and also, yes the scam of birthright citizenship. that's were children of non-us citizens are granted automatic citizenshipsh for being born he. every year thousands of chinese russians, and others traveled t the united states to have babie just for the passport. it's called birth tourism. it's not a constitutional right so don't try me on that. for all those that claim that

illegal immigration is not ay, crisis, i think the american families of these families woul disagree. the day after christmas, the officer was shot during a routine traffic stop. he left behind a wife, and a five -month-old baby. his murderer illegal alien. thousands of citizens and hundreds of officers attended the funeral service. i wish all of you could watch it . this happened over the weekend. the officer was originally from fiji.in as watching him today. i hadn't seen it till today. he has a better grasp of this tragedy that many american commentators. >> no words can take away the pain. no object can feel the wind in their hearts. no embrace can be more comforting. nothing can replace their shattered dreams.te

this is what the passing the scheme to those closest to him. >> on december 29th, piscopo was killed in a collisionll and not so, tennessee. the man who swerved into him an took his lifeless and life was another illegal alien. my friends, the families of bot of these upstanding americans are tonight in crisis. the precedents cannot relent. he must continue topr this families and frankly for the millions of you that believe every country, not just ours, every country around the world has the sovereign right to determine who can and cannot recite here. it's not immoral to do so. if our elected representatives refused to do their solemn duty to defend our country than we i

a sense already have a government that is shut down. shut down to the will of the people. by the way, the people rank illegal immigration is one of the most serious problems facin the nation. as for the republicans on capitol hill. take a lesson from the democrats . they never break rank. think about what you republican accomplished by supporting the president during the confirmation fight with brad cavanagh when things got tough when the media were piling on, republicans stood firm. do it again here. the democrats are desperate to divide and conquer the gop. don't let them. joining me is tom coleman for mean acting as director and former dnc comes director and former medications adviser to president obama. tom, besides the wall, what are the legislative fixes that congress must do. >> i think the top ones are

victims protection acts. when children come across the border the central american children are treated differentl than children from mexico and canada. once they find out they're not true victims of trafficking, they can remove them right away. from central america could they get all these extra rights goin to the immigration process that the mexican children and canadian children don't get. all the children need to have the same set of rules. the other thing is. >> those numbers, the numbers can kind of be sterile. those numbers are staggering. 63,000 people. those kids have to go to public schools. they have to be cared for. they often are on food stamps and other public assistance. we get two blocks from here and people are sitting sleeping in the streets saying i'm an air

force veteran sleeping in the streets tonight. >> priority needs to take place. 160,000 family units. a ninth circuit judge ruled tha we can't detain families more than 20 days. back when we first started we had these hearings and once we filled planes up with 90 percen less ga some judge in the ninth circuit says which means they get released and that's why there i a surge of's family members rig now because they know they want to be detained, they get released to the public and then don't show up for court. if they show up for court they lose their case, less than 2 percent lead. that is an open borders agenda. >> the foreign settlement agreement.le it seems that just a few years ago, democratsee believed in orr , not the walls, but operation gatekeeper in san diego, that was a bill clinton

initiative. i covered it for cbs news. in 1996 i was down at the borde operation gatekeeper, huge stee barrier. what changed? >> one of the issues is that donald trump is a expert in creating a crisis. could you deny this is a crisis at all. figure think it's a problem we can deal with efficiently. we have the resources, we have the people, we have the ability. he creates a crisis. what in my angle did i layout. richard haas is in favor of. what with my angles to do specifically disagree with. what numbers? >> the term administration dhs

under donald trump pointed out that they are at some of the historically lowest numbers of people tryingum to cross the border. there does seem to be a surge i emtober and november, but were not at any crisis level. this is a situation that yes we need to do more to work with th aree countries in northern and central america to make sure that were identified ways to reduce the violence they are great fights in the criminal organizations andmi perhaps wor with them to establish points o we can help with these people s they can request asylum. >> i have to understand this. i know you are well intentioned and i think you want a solution to this. i i get it. but how was it not a bipartisan issuee when 400,000 people come into our country legally every year. i don't f care if it's down fro 1.2 million from five years ago that's bad to that 400,000 people that have to go to publi schools they use our infrastructure.

>> we have more than 16,000 border patrol agents right now we have drones. >> gig at the same people they claim there is a crisis on the border it was the caravan. we found out differently. this crisis on the border, and president trump if you listened you can enter illegally and claim asylum. where is stuck with what president trump wanted. these two children would be alive today. >> there's definitely an important i incentive to tell parents don't pay smugglers, don't work with these criminal elements that are taking you through all these countries to get toes the southern border. that's fine, we can all agree o that. >> i don't think any country in central america would want 400,000 people. they would want a big mass of people coming into their countries who they believe once

invited or want welcome.no no country wants a free flow of humanity across the border. the reason this is a mess right now is the law this not the rig way to face this. there are definitely ways we ca improve. >> i don't recall the specifics of it. >> it's a big big fence.re >> we have it all the way to el paso and there are plenty of other things wewe need to do, changes because they build. those are the true criminal smugglers. >> i will be in favor of that. >> to his point, how does that address the crisis? a wall won't be built overnight. so how does the deal with question marks . >> i made it clear, one of the things he needs to talk about is . every place they build a barrier

, san diego, you know yuma, else passive. w they're ineffective, the wall works. then we need to talk about legislative changes because families are going to keep coming if they keep getting released. >> i don't even blame them. >> the main crisis that is not worth shedding the government checking the government down.im >> so basically when they come, you want them to stay. >> i think we have to allow someone who wants to apply for asylum to apply for it. there's ways to deal with these people even before they get to the border. >> the democrats don't want a border at all. isn't that the case?

>> when you don't answer question that reveals a lot. we have prioritized order security. >> border security is like swis cheese.wi >> i can't believe you're watching the media coverage okay , guys, we are out of time. now onto a story that really raises the question. do elected officials care about safety? take mecklenburg county sheriff. just one month ago on his first day in office he ended a progra called to 87 gene. another program they reported the immigration status of their inmates to immigration customs enforcement i. now mcfadden says that the goal is to build a rapport with law enforcement and the community that they serve. i wonder if the community do

what they were getting into whe this guy was selected. early last year, undocumented immigrant shot a man during an attempted robbery. he was being held in mecklenbur county jail under the 287 g program that mcfadden just ended. the man he shot wants to me remain anonymous, but he told local news that his dream of joining the army was snuffed ou due to the severity of his injury. meanwhile santos is free to walk . he's walking the streets until his hearing in two months. my questionio is why isn't this individual immediately deported any illegal who commits a fennelly is by law to be immediately deported in the united states. why aren't local officials enforcing this? they should be fast tracked out of the country. all told the office as the 28 people who were held under this 287 g provision have been released in just a months time.

28. a source said that those releas presents a danger to the public. we invited the sheriff on, i truly want to hear how he explains this. maybe there's a good explanation . he declined citing an inconsistency in the reporting a that fully separate from this whole 287 g issue. that invitation remains open. for more on why trump on and ho the gop could do it again, grab a new copy of my book. up next, president trump is set to address the country tomorrow night about the real crisis of our southern borders saying he could classify it as a national emergency.al kelly and calmly is here with a exclusive preview. >> i may declare a national emergency depending on what happens over the next few days. >> tech: at safelite autoglass

a business owner always goes beyond what people expect. that's why we built the nation's largest gig-speed network along with complete reliability. then went beyond. beyond clumsy dials-in's and pins. to one-touch conference calls. beyond traditional tv. to tv on any device. beyond low-res surveillance video. to crystal clear hd video monitoring from anywhere. gig-fueled apps that exceed expectations. comcast business. beyond fast. >> absolutely we can call a wtional emergency because of the security of our country. we can do it. i haven't done it, i might do it . >> we have a crisis at the border of human beings being trafficked all over the world, they're coming through. and we have an absolute crisis and the criminals and gang

members coming through, t it is national security. it's a national emergency. >> president trump of floating the ideaa of declaring a natio emergency to completely go around congress and get the tha border wall built. he's going to push for tomorrow night when he addresses the nation from the oval office. kelly and conley, there are som republicans who are worrying that by declaring a national emergency the president could then open himself up to the months and years of legal disputes and get that all plugged up in the court. >> the president is going to address the nationhe tomorrow a lay out the facts and figures o what he believes to be a humanitarian and crisis at the border. >> he's going to talk about the national emergency aspect? he said he's considering it. he is never committed to it. they have all the research and legal obligations of it but in many ways it would also let congress off often look one mor time. there are probably some people who want him to declare sobl congress and the courts have

failed to do their job about this crisis. when people denied the use of the word crisis at the border i said i to me because what is no crisis if not an increase in th drugs and then cocaine and the hair when coming over the southern border, 90 percent of the her when the government statistics say, over the southern border. dhs is there's a 73 percent increase in fentanyl, coming over the border causing the border patrol last year to capture. >> a wall will take a long time to build. >> it just breaks my heart. i'm constantly being asked don' you care about the children. >> if you care about the children you would agree with president trump that they shoul not take this perilous trek in the first place. we have this increase in family units coming here, and if you really care about them, as democrats and many use media claimed they do, he would deter them from taking this perilous trek in the first place.

>> that requires a legislative fix, it's an issue sadly you an i have been going around on this . >> it's true. >> but how do you get tom tillis , cory gardner, susan collins, they were great with the president on cavanagh, they were great on that, but they'r getting antsy about the shutdown . i'm getting calls from people, the shutdown.tl the government is already shut down over this issue. you're polling when you were just doing the polling business if years ago demonstrated that. that's not changed. that poll that you dude, i so psyched about poll. level of immigration, people wanted to say the same or go down. >> particularly, and by the way in 2014 president obama had the children at the border crisis. b retzer memos i read with me tonight.

we were doing the polling in th midst of that and even then, americans agreed that they want these children by a march to be returned safely to their home countries. mexico offered asylum and pieces . safe passage to these northern triangle family units. they can have their fears that their claims of fear processed. >> i also want to get your action to debate how many terrorist are apprehended at th border. the white house is thrown aroun a number of about 4,000, but u.s. customs and border protection says they counted si immigrants with terror ties on the border with mexico in the first half of the fiscal year o 2018. we don't know about the second half. i think one terrorist is a problem. we know what one terrorist can do when you look at what happened in paris, but you know they take that and say how, you're trying to scare the people and it's a much smaller threat than you've described.

does that hurt the credibility in the white house were we don' get these basic facts right and someone's not doing their homework in the way they describe it. >> this presentation put together by the department of homeland security, secretary nielsen haspl not briefed the principles that were in the meetings over the weekend. today, i sat there issue briefe about and then she also did it with some other journalist. i think this is important because on page three and i believe it's on the website as well, this is the 3755 number does not refer to people at the southern border. fy 17. i believe that includes and som international airports. >> overwhelmingly at the airpor for the other two statistics whirl about the southern border sord that the apprehensions of border of gang members, of know criminals, these are all again

the media has this presentation. >> their cherry picking. but this is what they do, they do it to supreme court nominees. really all of us, everyone, we all make mistakes. >> everybody makes mistakes, al of us, but the fact is it's corrected here and anybody who turns a blind eye to the actual numbers as a human trafficking increase in the drugs, we are concerned about your children here in the united states not being subject to all these drug and were concerned about their children. >> is a going to be personalized , will we hear about the people much because numbers make peoples eyes glaze over.>> >> in these praising meetings has to have plenty of m persona appeals. these vulnerable populations ar inclusive.

the comments from some of the democrats who are revealing themselves day after day after day after the government shutdown goes on. set this about his previous comments about impeachment. >> stand by and beaching the president of united states. iran on that. i grew up in an incredibly beautiful urban community in th city of detroit, boring and raise. we say of all things in interesting ways, but the president of the united states is my focus. the residents back home on my focus. >> i don't know why the physiological incapable of beginning or ending a sentence with out saying donald trump seven times and she proved it. she said she had been talking t her son about becoming a congresswoman and then.

i think she was brushed back pretty severely and swiftly by congressman adler and congressman sherman. certainly mention blueback unharmed. we don't speak that way, it's not necessary. just this weekend use of the democratic leadership in the house poll way back onn this notion of their very worried about i think a number of these freshmen members coming in here and saying i thought before we were here. we are here to represent their constituents that selected you and you're here to represent their interests. this president has kept us safe secure and more prosperous. >> he's not going to relent on the shutdown. he's not going to relent on where to security. >> wall, or border security. t >> it's all the same meaning. u.s. steel. >> he's compromised. he's compromised.

this is important because many people say you should see through because of the border patrols they need to see what i on the other side. >> idthey are brave and they're putting a lot on the line. >> personalize everything. our ronald reagan understood that. when word broke today that ruth bader ginsburg did not fill out for her first oral argument of the new year, liberals freaks out and conservatives wondered while her health condition isn' unserious, she hasn't missed an oral argument and 25 years on the bench. the activist spent the better part of the last two yearswo an in fact, this film loosely base on her life hit the big screen on christmas day.

it's because she's been willing to speak out against present time. he says whatever comes into his head at the moment, he really has him go. >> if you think that cavanagh confirmation fight was brutal, and of course it was, imagine how the democrats are going to feel with trumps next nominee. t we hope ruth bader ginsburg is okay, and that she's doing well but that would change the balance of the court when she steps down. so that our bg group b snowflakes we'll be melting all over. >> she is fierce and fabulous and kind is still got it. >> she is one of my role models.

>> so inspired by the dissent that he decides to put into music. >> oh my gosh. walker worked in the white hous counsel office for for former president george w. bush and fo my former boss, justice clarenc thomas. we certainly wish justice ginsburg while and a speedy recovery. she had lung surgery, on module on her lung test in december. she is recovering. she is at home. after the cavanagh hearings wil the country be ready for anothe confirmation battle? >> you would hope that people what kind of ratcheted down and be reasonable about supreme court confirmation processes, but i don't think that'sro goin to happen. you can almost hear the history and machine starting to crank ut

. why do they get so terrible question or because to them the supreme court as a tool of politics. to us in to your viewers it's about the rule of law. we want judges and president trump has had a marvelous recor so far as appointing coupe all of law who apply the rule of law . that's all the presidents is looking to do. there's no reason for people to start to spin out of control. >> andrew cuomo on cavanagh and what gorsuch will do. >> kavanaugh is going to revers roe v wade. i have no doubt. so what do we do? protect ourselves. >> laura, that is fundraising. that is nothing, but fundraising. that is andrew cuomo with his o friends raising money to fund their political campaigns with their scare tactics. f

>> catalyst for the administration. i think the president will stic to his list why quit with the success he sat on that list.

>> joe biden is mulling around for the presidency according to the new york times he thinks he's the only candidate currently capable of defeating trump. his brother took to the airwaves

this morning to offer another reason. >> he will be the most dynamic 70 something -year-old you've ever met in your entire life. part of my job is to advise him on exercise routines. trump can't walk 18 holes. joe benches 1852. >> we have it obtains exclusive footage of bidens poll regimen and his outreach to younger voters. his brother might be onto something. i feel tremendous, i'm ready to take on the world. >> we will get in the older and we will never die. s >> well, let's see if that messaging works. here to debate the phenomenon i a former arkansas governor who

mike huckabee and juan williams cohost of the five. j is joe taken behind the gym and punch him. is that really the democrats best hope is to mark i like biden, of all the democrats is probably my favorite because he's kind of a gaffe automatic and he's o kind of funny. is that really the best hope? >> i hope so, i hope that's the best they'vee got. i'm like you i like joe biden i like him a lot. i think there's a difference between the joe biden and the hope that that's out there giving the heated rhetoric.d and there is the joe biden who is the serious legislator. let's be honest, joe biden has been a bridesmaid in the presidential campaigns to more weddings than liz taylor and larry king combine and yet he's never quite made it. he and mitt romney both share the aspiration to be president without the likelihood that it will ever happen.

>> juan, i was going through some old clips of joe, not the gap because that's easy to do, everybody plays those. something interesting what he says i think it was last february by my memory serves me correct about the border enforcement and the wall. this made me almost like him. let's watch. >> if you had a wall that provided a security that wasn't wst an absolute waste of money meaning the actual means to protect it and all these kids had a path to citizenship, i'd be glad toou do. >> you would give him the political victory to get the dreamer deal done? >> i don't care about his political victory. it's not how i view politics. >> i think everybody forgot about that. i was like wow, i miss this. but that's really not today's democratic party. he's kind of pragmatic. trump might get a win. where is that democrats today i

party other than joe biden? >> were of the republicans. that was something voted on las year. he got the fewest votes of any on immigration reform. the majority of republicans, they gave it the least number o votes with trump in the white house. what is seeing there a think is the real face of the indemocrat who say we want border security and were definitely concerned about dreamers, but were notot going to be foolish about it. >> is missing my point, i'm not trying to be kurt with you. he said he was okay with the wall if we get the dreamers. and republicans said no to it. nancy pelosi said the wall is tomorrow. have you ever seen her vineyard and napa? beautiful. the wall all around it.

>> i enjoy your rhetoric, but i'm telling you that right now, i think you have people concerned about border security but it's republicans and democrats, it's not one side or another. when it comes to joe biden, i a so surprised to hear you and th governor be so enthusiastic about a democrat who would run against him have a high likelihood of beating president trump. >> is called analysis. like you have a stereotype. >> that's what you and the governor said. i was surprised you'd be so forthcoming. i think that's were democrats right now the recent polls in iowa, nationally, all say that joe biden is the leading democrat among primary voters. >> we also heard from barack obama today it was reported tha the obama foundation event, governor, that he thinks they need new blood, fresh blood in the democratic party.

it is just inconvenient timing, but he seemed to throw some col obama water on that. >> he did. it's hard though to really blam him. the democrats have a very young field, bernie sanders, hillary, elizabeth warren, joe's own brother can't remember exactly how old he is. he's just somewhere in his 70s . i don't care how old the date is , but it's about ideas. as the person going to oil the machinery or try to change this country. that's how president trump got to be the president and i think that disrupted style was unsettling to people in the dc will not call it a swamp becaus swamp have an ecological purpose , the dc sewer, they

can't stand it, but he's gettin things done and the economic record shows it and the deregulation, the tax cuts, the increase. >> let's focus on the democrats. the democrats, they are itching for a victory. they're going to have to make this calculationla eventually. not today, whether they go with someone with experience like he's is. he's blue-collar focused and someone well-known or one of th shiny new interesting objects out there. that's going to be a big decision, juan, don't you love predicting and 2019 let's going to happenin in. if you had to pick one, who would it be? >> because of what i do for living, what we all do i think you can look at the polls it's pretty clear. this is not even close in terms of democrats they would have jo biden and the reason is right and could win in places like michigan, wisconsin,

pennsylvania there was a narrow victory for president trump, an i think looking forward you would say, just from a donor perspective, political strategist perspective, this is a guy they can go in there and just like the governor and you said we like joe biden, possibl win some trump voters back over to the democratic party. >> governor, yes, no, would biden be the nominee in 2020? >> i want to remind wanda back about the same time in the previous election cycle i was near the top of the front runners and of course i'm talking to you two guys, everyone said there's no way donald trump could ever be president, he he's president, i'm on tv. >> we are spreading love around all over the place tonight. thank you so much. charges of racism hurled at the president and a hate crime that wasn't. two important debates coming up

>> do you agree president trump is a racist? >> yeah, no question. >> laura: it's a new year but the democrats are still employing the same old tired tricks. here to discuss is horace coope

cooper. i miss you guys. happy new year. you are not in the studio with me. leo, you never come into the studio. i'm going to fly you in just hang out. horace, let me start with you. i guess we are supposed to just get used to the language, the slanderous language, the trump -- what they call him, in a racist. why is it important that we don't accept that? >> first of all, the only reason this is being done is to encourage and create a political wedge to try to motivate black americans as well as other groups to support her radical progressive policies. that's the real issue, and we've got to push back against it because it's a lie and it also diminishes the real actions where bigots and racists

actually live. >> laura: he did criminal justice reform. obviously great news just coming out of the last week with jobs and economic growth. it's good for all americans, especially good for americans entering the workforce for the first time. leo, what did horace say that you disagree with? why is that word, why is that going to bring people together to pass good legislation, to get infrastructure past, why is it going to work? >> first of all you asked for the first question, what did i disagree with horace said? everything. i will submit to you that no president on this planet in our country's history has ever said the following: there is equally good people on both sides, charlottesville. a muslim man, telling a mexican judge he can get a fair trial because of the mexican heritage, the u.s. federal judge. the issue about the birth of her, when it comes to african-americans like lebron james, low i.q., i will submit o

you laura that no president hasy groups in this president. there is your evidence to support the difference. sending out dog whistles. >> laura: we will take an hour to unpack each one of those on go back through ancient history when it comes to politics. so you basically would deny the fact that when he did criminal justice reform which president obama pledged to do, he tried to being democrats into the equation. he brought a lot of well-known democrat leaders in other spheres into the equation and they actually got it done with democrats supporting him. psalm republicans didn't. he was willing to reach across the aisle to do that. you give him any credit for that? >> i give him credit for that but it does not ignore what has come out of his mouth. he can't deny what he said the last two years. those are his words. no other planet in this country's history. >> laura: why would a racist do that? that's what i'm not following. why would a person who is racist

-- i know him so i know he's not. it doesn't make any sense. horace, i will let you close it out. >> that's exactly the point. more black americans have brand-new pickup trucks. more black americans have great new jobs. more poor unemployed black americans who lost their incomes, their houses during the eight years of the obama administration are seeing that turnaround. this is the weirdest clan rally idea i've ever -- let's get -- >> why can't we hold donald trump to the words that come out of his mouth? those are called admissibility court of law. >> how about we hold him to -- >> laura: the way of interpreting it, it's not an admission of anything. thank you. what the champions of the little people, you've got to hear this, have been updated during the government shutdown. i will bring you the details

>> democrats like defended himself the champions of the little people so during the shutdown, so many government workers that canceled their fancy christmas vacations but let's take a look. maxine waters was a guest of the bohemian government seen in a festive parade known as the junk a new. nancy pelosi living large at the resort costing $5000 a night. >> the christmas holiday, half

the time i would have had, the president did not know this but hawaii is part of the united states of america. >> nice try. i'm never taking this button off. i'm never taking it off. all right, up next, the great, the one, the only shannon bream and the fox news at night team, take it from here. we have a fan in the studio, jessica, who went there and was kind of a cheerleader. the only reason i like clemson at all, jess is a phenomenal producer, roll side. >> we broke a record this year by not making it. >> i am so sorry. have a great show, i will be
