♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity." nancy pelosi, she refuses to negotiate. chucky schumer is unwilling to compromise, all while death, destruction, drugs, cartels, gangs, carnage in america continues to mount. on wednesday, a 16-year-old boy from long island, new york, was seriously stabbed by three ms-13 gang members who were in this country illegally. on monday, an illegal immigrant in maryland was arrested after he paid ms-13 gang leaders $100 to have sex with a 14-year-old goal number girl being traffic by the violent gang.

each week, more and more horrific examples, violent crimes, committed by people who have crossed into our country illegally. an unsecured border all across the southern border. just the past two years, we have seen 4,000 arrest for homicide, 30,000 plus sex crimes, over 100,000 assaults against american citizens. 2014, one of my 14 trips to the border, i sat down for a security briefing with then texas governor rick perry, and the amount of carnage in his state, one state, 642,000 crimes committed against texans in a seven year period alone. watch this. >> criminal aliens are responsible for about 642,000 criminal offenses. you look up there, sexual assault, close to 8,000 victims. >> 642,000 crimes? >> in texas.

>> over 200,000 individuals, criminal history reflects they were committed over 642,000 crimes. that is the cost of not securing the border. >> sean: that is the cost for the humanitarian side of this crisis is about to become even more urgent. a brand-new migrant caravan is now converging in central america. they have plans to start their journey north next week. but enough is enough. it tonight, the president of the united states, he remains patient, he is dedicated to finding a congressional coalition to fund border securi. he remains open to negotiations, but the clock is ticking. at some point, it will be up to the president of the united states to address this crisis at our southern border. with or without congressional funding. there are ways he can do it. he could, of course, use his constitutional and statutory powers, utilize what is called the national emergencies act, passed in 1976, passed by congress, it enabled the

president to declare a national emergency and allocate ventral l funds to combat serious crises. keep in mind, this would not be an unprecedented move. since 1976, years before in different forms, 58 national emergencies have been declared. 31 such declarations remain in effect today. former president obama utilized this power ten times, including one instant targeting a violent mexican cartel responsible for mass of carnage on both sides of the border. that emergency declaration it also in effect today. it now senator burr lindsey graham, he is encouraging the president to use those emergency powers, or friend, the great one, mark levine recently arguer authority to declare this emergency. we will check in with gregg jarrett later in the program today, because he also reminded us that the commander in chief has the authority to direct our military to construct

any congressionally unauthorized projects. sadly, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, they have made it abundantly clear they are not willing to work toward strengthening border security at all. remember, it was nancy pelosi who said that she would only give the president $1 toward additional border security. now democrats all across the country are pretending this is just one big -- they all say the same word -- manufactured crisis. take a look. >> president trump must stop holding the american people hostage. to stop manufacturing the crisis. >> this president just use the backdrop of the oval office to manufacture a crisis. >> locals will tell him on the border, even conservatives, there isn't a national security crisis. >> leno says we have a crisis, a security crisis, is absolute nonsense beard >> a manufactured crisis, and a crisis manufactured by the trump administration. >> this artificial crisis of the

president is not going to justify his appropriate money for a wall. >> the president said there is a humanitarian crisis at the border, is there? >> absolutely not. humanitarian issues are challenges for us, but no crisi crisis. >> sean: then the extension of the democratic party, the democrats propaganda arm, you know, the hate trump media, literally repeating the exact same talking points again and again and again. as i've said many times, journalism in america is dead. here is the proof. >> the big scam of the whole address is that there is a crisis. there is not a crisis. >> the president has manufactured one heck of a political crisis for himself. >> it remains a seinfeld shutdown, all about nothing. >> what happens when there is a real crisis? when there is a real emergency? does he take to the airways? do we give him the airways? do we believe him?

>> some question if there is a crisis at all, as the president has claimed. >> there is not a crisis at the border, it is a manufactured crisis for the president to get political whammy. >> crisis can have a very elastic definition. >> he is determined to convince you there is a crisis of the border, even though an intelligence official told cnn "no one is saying this is a crisis except them." >> sean: the coverage got worse on fake news cnn, get this, according to a local station in san diego, after requesting a local reporter to go on cnn to discuss a local view on the border, the so-called facts first network, they spike the segment after discovering the reporters pro wall reporting. cnn is saying it is a nonstory. okay. tonight, we have an important question for democrats and their friends in the media, who are calling the emergency at our southern border a manufactured crisis. this is an important question. we have been asking, is this in

the best interest for america? is this good for our country? is this good for our economy? is this good for homeland security? here is our question. all of the others think it is a manufactured crisis, what would you say to the families, the thousands of them, that lost loved ones, moms and dads, sons and daughters, at the hands of illegal immigrants? when you call their loss a manufactured crisis? because there are thousands of these families. joining us now, tonight, nine brave americans whose loved ones were killed by illegal immigrants. the ones you are saying manufactured crisis. including wendy and dj corcoran, their son pierce, 22 years old, was just killed this past december 29th by a suspected illegal immigrant in knoxville. he was driving on the wrong side of the road. at 22 years old. we are also joined by laura wilkerson, her son joshua was beaten and strangled and set aflame, on fire, by a classmate

who was in this country illegally. joshua was 18 years old. then we have steve rana back, his son, grant, raising money for college, worked overnight in a convenience store, shot by an illegal immigrant robbing the store where grant was working overnight. the midnight shift. agnes is also with us, her son, ronald da silva, was shot in a driveway by an illegal immigrant gang member who had previously been deported. let's introduce michelle, her daughter, sarah, was killed by an illegal immigrant who was drunk driving, and he disappeared after posting bail. why did he get bail? we are also joined by marianne mendoza, her son, police sergeant brandon mendoza was killed by a drunk driver, in the country illegally, and immigrant, in a head-on collision. also with us, maureen maloney, her son, matthew, denise, literally killed by an illegal alien drunk driving.

wants to be part of. you just lost your son, right, wendy? on the 29th? first, how are you holding up, this is still new to you? >> i think we are still numb, still in shock about it to a degree. in finding out so many people are hurting over the same thing, it is just -- >> sean: painful. every day you wake up with it. >> the reality hits every morning that it is a real. >> sean: that is the hardest time, the morning when you wake up. >> when you wake up, you feel like you're going to wake up from a bad dream, and then the tears, and you realize it is real. >> sean: 14 years, the driver in this case, was in the country. >> every opportunity to do the right thing and come here illegally, and become a productive citizen, but he chose not to. >> sean: what about his past criminal record? they won't reveal it?

>> they are saying there is no criminal record, that is how he was able to stay here for this long, because there was nothing. that they know of, that they know of. >> sean: laura, i have known you, you have a lot of interviews with me over the years. good to see you. >> good to see see you. >> sean: your son was only 18 years old. brutally beaten, murdered, set ablaze. >> yes. >> sean: tell us that story. >> is an absolute nightmare, i sent josh to school one day and he never came home. i started looking around for him, and i finally found his truck parked next to a dumpster, called police, and they came, called me over, and everything that was his, his shoes, his stuff, in the dumpster. we waited in the parking lot all evening. finally, they arrested a suspect who came back to the crime scene, and they arrested him there. when they took him down to the jail, he had joshua's truck key in his pocket, and finally, 24 hours later, he told us where

we could find it josh. >> sean: he had been set a fire after being brutally beaten. >> bound him up with 13 ropes around his neck into the back of his hands behind his back, through a belt loop, and then to his feet, tying him up so he could carry him, and then he put him in joshua's truck and drove around. >> sean: how long ago was this? >> 2010. >> sean: it doesn't get easier? >> no. >> sean: just like the core grains. >> i feel for them, they know the story, it is not their story yet. that comes in time, and then the really pain begins when the shock wears off and you realize that it is forever. >> sean: every christmas, everything's given, every birthday. >> when you first go home, there are books on the floor, socks, it takes a long time to get your heart and head in the same place, they are not coming back. >> sean: steve, i've known you

also a couple of years, i've interviewed you a number of times. an amazing kid you had. your son was 21 years old, grant, working in a convenience store, during the graveyard shift, midnight to eight shift, and incomes a a guy, and your story it's very interesting, he? >> he came into buy a pack of cigarettes. dumped a jar of change on the counter, grant went to start counting the change wasn't counting it fast enough. so the man said, what, you're not going to give my cigarettes? and gramps that he had to count the the man produced a gun, grant did everything he was supposed to do, gave him the cigarettes. as soon as the man happy cigarettes, he went and executed grant, shot him point blank in the face, and that is when he robbed the store, he came around the counter, grabbed two more packs of cigarettes. >> sean: that is all on video? i don't know what that would be like watching the video, i'm sure horrific for you.

it gets worse, though, because this same illegal immigrant had held a young woman hostage, brutally raped her, in the criminal justice system, how did he ever get out? and how did he not get deported? >> he was able to pleaded down his crimes to felony burglary, and just get probation. >> sean: he kidnapped and raped a woman for ten days, repeatedly. >> they found her full of heroin, they said she was a drug addict, not a reliable witness. >> sean: no, she was drunk. it makes it more painful, knowing they had him, knowing if they did their job, this is a big part of this thing, there are too many instances where the government -- we have them, we identify them, we put them in jail, and talk about century cities and states, then they won't hand them over to i.c.e. or the aid and abet them in the next crime.

some of these guys have blood on their hands by not following the law. it is so hard to hear the stories because all of the promise your kids, they are so young, 22, 21, 18. i'm looking at your son, agnes, her son, ronald, this picture, by the way, if i can walk over without getting any shot, that is at his wake. >> this is ronald in the coffin, this is the reality that i live with, and unlike -- this is not manufactured, i want to tell the democrats, this is not manufactured. and i want to call on our president to please, implement e-verify, please, stop the insanity for illegal and is to come to our country. and punish employers, this guy would be coming out of prison next year. taken away from me and my family

because i don't know if he is going to come after me. why should he live? >> sean: he is getting released? >> with california being a sanctuary state. >> sean: this happened in 2002, when you kill an innocent young man, why do you ever get out of jail? >> exactly. he is going to get to enjoy his family, his children. one other point i wanted to make, when nancy pelosi said one time that her child -- her grandchild was having a birthday, it was his birthday wish, he just wanted to have brown skin. well, my grand builder and, ronald's children, would also like to make a wish, to have their dad back. >> sean: i look at that picture. >> look at him, i miss that smile, i miss his bear hug, i miss everything about him. my life changed completely because of this. what is even more offensive, i'm a legal immigrant who followed the law, came through the right channels, to this country. why isn't my country and the police our politicians, standing

up for me and the american citizens of this country? they stand up with illegal aliens on criminals. >> sean: you are all of the faces. i want america -- pan back and take a look. these are the faces of a manufactured crisis. and that is what the media says about all of you and all of your experiences. manufactured? these are real lives. look at your beautiful daughter, you have a picture. this is michelle, your daughter daughter's name isn't sarah. for the sea? >> 21, she had just graduated from college with a 4.0 bachelors in criminal investigations. she was hit and killed that night after celebrating on her way home. and when he came over unaccompanied at age 16, was driving, not even his vehicle, street racing, going 70 plus miles per hour. blood alcohol of .241.

when he rear-ended my daughter's suv. >> sean: the legal immigrant is .08, and he is .241? >> they like to say it was three times the legal limit, no, he is 19, he should not have had any alcohol in him. >> sean: why did this happen? >> 2016, january 31st is what we consider her death date because she was brain-dead when they got her to the emergency room. however, being the lovely child -- >> sean: american, young, beautiful, 4.0 student, her whole life and career ahead of her. >> correct. and she was an organ donor, we saved six additional people that night with her organs. but edwin mejia made a bond because of the judge set a low bond, and he fled. so he is out there. >> sean: i'm so sorry to all of you. i'm so sorry. this has got to stop.

that is what this show is about. i want people to see what this manufactured crisis, it is not manufactured. she had a right to live, your son had a right to live, your children had a right to live. i have known you now, marianne mendoza, for a long time. he is really handsome. he looks like you. got his good looks. he was a police officer. >> he was. he wanted to be a police officer since he was very, very young. on may 11th, 2014, he spent mother's day with me and went into work, and was going to come back for dessert, he had come for dinner, and he said mom, i'm too busy, can't come in. the early hours of may 12th, 2014, he was on his way home from work, and an illegal alien, repeat criminal, had gone over 35 miles the wrong way on four different freeways, high on meth, legal limit drawn, his family let him drive repeatedly to leave a house, keep going

back and forth. he slammed head-on into my son, and i got a call, quarter to three in the morning from afghanistan, a fellow officer who was an international guard, telling me he had been in a terrible accident. i kept try to call his phone, he wasn't answering, and then my worst nightmare, the doorbell rang and it was police to take me to the hospital. he died. >> sean: i've tried to put myself in your shoes, i think parents can do that. this is the one thing i don't think you recover from. i don't care how strong you think you are, you are not going to recover from this. >> no, and this is not a manufactured crisis, this is where i have to go for his birthday, for christmas, for every holiday. just as recently -- michelle was at my house in phoenix, i have three people contacting me four and a half years later, talking about the things my son had done for them. this has been a continual, for four and a half years. >> sean: does the media ask

you for interviews? i know i've interviewed you many times. you been on many times. they don't want to hear the story? and then they arrogantly go on tv, you know how i feel about. >> one more picture. >> sean: yes, ma'am. >> this is 330 miles of our southern border in arizona. 330 miles, and it is a liberal politicians think this is going to keep criminals out of our country, they are insane. >> sean: insane, insensitive, cruel, callous, in a sense, sanctuary cities and states. from that moment forward that they release people, and it don't deport them and follow the law, they are aiding and abetting the next crime. in my opinion. >> i agree. >> sean: we will get back to you guys when we comeback that also, more with the families after this break, and also joined, you heard about officer singh out in california, his brother will also join us. that, of course, happened in recent weeks, killed by an

pair they lost a 33-year-old police officer, brother, ronil singh, just a day after christmas, killed in a traffic stop in northern california after the suspect, gustavo perez arriaga, had a long criminal record and suspected gang ties, but california sanctuary policy protected him from being handed over to i.c.e., which would have meant he would have been deported. officer singh was an immigrant, a legal immigrant, who came from fiji, came to this country as all immigrants do, legally, because they want a better life, the hope, their dreams, for themselves, their families, their kids. to raise a family. but it was cut short by a criminal alien who never should have been here in the first place. and who was in the criminal justice system and should have been long departed. joining us now to talk about his life is his brother, reggie singh is with us. i know this is still fresh i'm a this is raw for you. you met with the president

>> i think this is the moment where the scales fall from our eyes all across america, and we see the media for who they really are. i've met the angel mom's, i've held events with for them on the steps of congress. it is not just these incredible stories that cannot be denied, it is everything else that is being reported, factually, by the government. if we look at the fact that we have 10,000 children being looked after by the federal government who were sent here by their parents, without their parents, handed into the hands of the coyotes. we have more than 70,000 people die as a result of drug death last year in america. >> sean: 300 heroin overdoses a week. opioids, fenton all. >> that is more than died in the whole vietnam war, and where the drugs coming from? they are coming from the

southern border. >> sean: 90%. >> 90%. so what is manufactured? i tell you what is manufactured, sean, the propaganda that places like cnn are spewing daily. now we have jim acosta, who is not only made himself a laughing stock in the white house, now he has made himself a laughingstock on the border. enough is enough, these aren't news agencies, these are propaganda outlets. >> sean: allie beth, the fact that all of these politicians and their propaganda friends in the media, their tv for the democratic party for they can't even think of another original word on their own, they repeat the same one. >> wright, the manufactured crisis. you have to wonder what kind of orwellian universe we are living in where securing our border is bigoted, but having open borders is seen as compassionate. it is not compassionate for anyone. not for this country, not even for citizens of other countries.

as it dr. gorka just pointed out, it is dangerous for everyoe involved. the only thing right thing to do, there are no two sides about this, the only right thing to do a secure the board of the best way we know how, that is right for the people that are traveling here legally, that is right for the illegal immigrants, that is right for the citizens of this country, and it is right for the furloughed workers not getting their paycheck right now because they got refused to do their jo job. >> sean: how many more people have to die, dr. gorka? >> it is very simple. let's use their arguments against them. they say that they are the compassionate ones. the left wing, the left-wing media, they are the people who have empathy. if you have empathy, forget about americans for a second, we should be prioritizing, it is the victims that are being traffic themselves, women being raped, children being abused, they really cared, sean, they would help us build the wall. >> sean: at some point, they

are culpable. because they are not solving a problem that can be solved. thank you both for being with us. when we come back, final thoughts straight ahead. ♪ my name is jeff sheldon, and i'm the founder of ugmonk. before shipstation it was crazy. it's great when you see a hundred orders come in but then you realize i've got a hundred orders i have to ship out. shipstation streamlined that whole process. the order date, the weights of the items, everything is seamlessly put into shipstation. so when we print the shipping label everything's pretty much done. it's so much easier. so now we're ready. bring on the orders. shipstation. the number one choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/now and get 2 months free.

all politics. sad. that is all the time we have left this evening, thank you for being with us cared let not your heart be troubled, the news continues, laura ingraham is next, and we >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the government shutdown is now entering its fourth week. and neither side has moved much. the president has been arguing for the past three years that the united states needs a wall on its southern border. agree with his positions or not, trump has explained why he believes that repeatedly and in great detail. most recently in a live address to the country. democrats meanwhile argued the opposite. america should not have a border wall. they have said again and again. but the difference is they really haven't explained why. at various times democratic leaders told us that walls don't work. walls are racist. walls are wasteful. they are
