tv   Hannity  FOX News  January 23, 2019 6:00pm-7:00pm PST

6:00 pm
>> tucker: we'll be back tomorrow, 8:00 p.m., the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, smugness and groupness, and mediocrity which is really the story of the people in charge. in the meantime, sean hannity from new york. >> sean: welcome to "hannity." for the first time in history, a sitting u.s. president has been disinvited from delivering the state of the union address from the house chambers in a letter to speaker pelosi wrote that she would not authorize the president's speech in the house until the government reopened. this is unprecedented political ploy, obvious for what it is. it comes just days after speaker pelosi falsely claimed that the shutdown related to security concerns that that would delay the joint address. that was a lie. and pelosi's newest letter makes zero reference to security, only a demand to reopen the
6:01 pm
government, only on her terms. that just proves it's a cheap political ploy. unfortunately for speaker pelosi, we do have something called the constitution. article two section three, it requires the president to deliver the state of the union, as you can see up there from time to time, in coming days, the president will make this constitutionally important speech whether or not nancy pelosi decides to attend or whether or not she grants access to the house chamber. nancy pelosi could care less about the furloughed government workers not getting paid. she sure as hell doesn't care about the epidemic of crime, violence, pouring across what is our unsecured southern border, human trafficking, gang-related crimes. 90% of america's heroin supply comes across that border. she won't even talk to the president. we have 300 dead americans every
6:02 pm
week because of heroin. there's an opioid crisis that we can fix in large part by getting rid of the heroin. nancy doesn't seem to care. this deadly poison fentanyl also pouring across in record amounts on our southern border. nancy apparently doesn't care. that's why nancy pelosi calls this real life, every day death and destruction a "manufactured crisis." that's why she took a nice long luxury vacation to hawaii during christmas. the president remained in the white house urging democrats to come on over and negotiate. they rejected a meeting with the vice president over the weekend and sent low level aides to the shutdown negotiations. that's why dozens of pelosi's colleagues hopped on a private jet, tons of carbon emissions, for an all expense paid tropical vacation to puerto rico. complements of course of k
6:03 pm
street lobby yiists. the president only leaving briefly to visit our troops in iraq and monitor our crisis at our southern border. pelosi tried to take another week-long, taxpayer paid international trip at the height of the shutdown which would have guaranteed furloughed employees don't get a penny while trump urged her to stay home and come to the negotiating table. that's why pelosi rejected the president's good faith compromise. he provided a solution for daca recipients, so-called dreamers. she rejected it before he even read the offer. tomorrow, senate republicans will hold a vote on that compromisepushing a bill that offers nothing. president trump offered this insight. radical, extreme left wing lawmakers are now pulling the strings in what is the new radical leftist democratic socialist party. take a look.
6:04 pm
>> the state of the union speech has been canceled by nancy pelosi because she doesn't want to hear the truth. she doesn't want the american public to hear what's going on. and she's afraid of the truth. and the super left democrats, the radical democrats, what's going on in that party is shocking. it's too bad with nancy pelosi what she's done. it's radical democrats. they've become a radicalized -- they really have. they've become a radicalized party. i actually think they've become a very dangerous party for this country. if you listen to what they're saying, what they're doing, i think they've become a very dangerous -- a very, very dangerous party for this country. we are not going to allow the radical left to control our borders. because if they do, you will see crime, you will see drugs, you will see human trafficking like you've never seen ever in the history of our country. you will never see anything like
6:05 pm
what you will see. so we will never let the radical left control our borders. >> sean: the president's correct. still as we speak, the democrats have an opportunity to secure the border, provide a solution for daca, dreamers. think about this for a second. can you really say to angel moms and dads that lost their kids to illegal immigrants in this country that this is a manufactured crisis? can you look into the eyes of parents that lost their kids from heroin overdoses and say this is a manufactured crisis? they refuse to come to the table. the president can and likely will declare a national emergency and fund the border wall without their consent. now, for the president, this is obviously about life and death, fulfilling his constitutional pledge which is to protect and defend the country as commander in chief. just a few short years ago, remember democrats, oh, under obama, they sounded like trump about the border. they say they care about daca,
6:06 pm
dreamers, furloughed employees. their actions show that is absolutely false and not true. for them, this isn't about anything but power. not principle. also, how refreshing. think for a moment that we actually elected a president that is willing to fight hard to protect the country to keep it safe, to keep a promise. don't we always say we want politicians to keep their words, stand on principle, keep promises, fight for the things that they believe in? we're witnessing all of that unfold every day. that is good and something we haven't seen in a lot of politicians. now, this is not going to be easy. we're now witnessing what is an implosion of the democratic party. pelosi, schumer, other long-time democrats have completely lost control and now that party has been taken over by extreme, radical democratic socialists. a group of people that really wake up in the morning and they
6:07 pm
just hate presumptiident trump. that's what's important. not daca, not dreamers, not furloughed employees. they hate trump. they want to reshape a free market economy which is the enemy of the world. this comes as we witness horrific effects of socialism in realtime. and the south american country of venezuela, their economy, socialist, well, it's totally collapsed. the country is descending into chaos. today, protests throughout the streets of caracas, and an opposition leader has now declared himself the interim president. the socialist dictator is refusing to give up power even after it caused his country to really become, well, a living hell hole. 3 million venezuelans have fled their home country because of poverty and hunger. hyper inflation has reached 80,000%. the entire country once ran out of toilet paper.
6:08 pm
venezuela, home to the world's largest oil reserves, one of the wealthiest in latin america, now the poster child. it's not stopping them from pushing these same policies right here at home. after predicting that the world is going to end in 12 years if we didn't let the government force green energy down our throats. you think i'm kidding? i didn't make this up. take a look. >> millennials and gen z and all these folks that come after us are looking up and we're like, the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change and your biggest issue is -- [ applause ] -- your biggest issue is how are we going to pay for it? like this is the war -- this is our world war ii. >> sean: better make that bucket list. 12 years, that's all we got left.
6:09 pm
she actually called it immoral. called for oppressive taxes on private businesses and wealthy individuals. oh, the top 20% of americans pay almost all of the taxes already. and she actively supports the nationalization of the health care industry, the energy industry, just like venezuela. recently bashing americans who are "living in excess." i thought that was the american dream. take a look. >> so after you make $10 million in one year, your dollars after that start to get progressively taxed at a much higher rate. and really what that is is that it's the tax interpretation of one answer to the question of how much is -- how -- at what level are we really just living excess and what kind of society do we want to live in. >> sean: let's empower the government to confiscate it all. better hide your nice thing because here come the excess police. speaking of which, the
6:10 pm
congresswoman's new policy advisor changed his twitter handle to "every buillionaire i a policy failure." he vowed to convince his boss that is 70% top tax rate is too low and he would talk her up to 90%. after state taxes, nobody's going to work. in the twisted world, what is now the radical socialist democratic party, apparently making money and being successful is evil. venezuela is a heaven on earth opportunity for us. we recently said on fox news contributor to see what her constituents think about these socialist fantasies. let's take a look. >> she believe we should tax the rich 70%. so 70% of what they make should go back to uncle sam. do you agree with her? >> sure, why not. >> i am all for it. >> too low. >> what would you suggest? >> 90%. >> absolutely, they make so much
6:11 pm
money. tax them. >> sean: 70% nationally, 10% new york, 4% city. add property sales taxes and you get to keep nothing. a full package coming up later in the show. first, we need to address the far less baseless smears at the students at covington catholic high school, shut down today, despite being called for spreading lie after lied. congresswoman omar actually accused the students of taunting the black hebrew israelites. the same anti-gay, anti-asian, radical hate group hurling one racist and incendiary remark at the students after another. and we have the tape. [ indiscernible ] >> a bunch of child molesters! >> that's right. >> just like your damn donald trump. >> look at all these dusty
6:12 pm
[ bleep ] with that racist on them. crickets. that's right. that's why everybody hates your [ bleep ]. >> that's right. >> sean: now, after congresswoman omar and so many others on the left rushed to judgment and persecuted a group of teens based on little to no evidence, no investigation, no due process, no presumptions of innocence, many are showing very little remorse and using this saga to continue their attacks against the president's supporters. god forbid you wear a make america great again hat. >> like forget donald trump for a moment and just think about the symbol of that red hat. when i see the make america great again hat now, chris, i am triggered. i'm so triggered. but this make america great again hat is just as maddening and frustrating and triggering for me to look at as a kkk hood.
6:13 pm
like that is the -- >> i would say this -- >> -- that the policies represent. >> isn't that inflaming the situation? is that helpful? likening someone to the head of the kkk? >> well, i think as i just pointed out, i do not believe that the president is a card-carrying member of the kkk, but he has resided over and engaged in a series of racially incensensitive remarks. on king day we should be able to have that candid discussion. >> sean: these people have any shame? any compass? their only goal is to destroy the president, anyone who supports the president, even if you're a kid at all costs, regardless of facts and what truth is reality is. to many in the media, they seem all too comfortable. this rush to judgment over and over and over again. remember, first the media reported the students surrounded phillips. that never happened. videotape shows that in fact
6:14 pm
there was an indigenous peoples rally as well. he approached them. phillips accused the students of initiating taunts against the black hebrew israelites we have on tape saying all those things. we now know that's not true. that's not stopping mr. phillips. he let a group of protesters to the steps of a washington, d.c., cathedral. according to multiple reports, a new video out tonight, phillips attempted to disrupt mass before being halted by security. now, remember, fake news has real consequences. richard jewel, duke lacrosse, uva, ferguson, missouri, justice kavanaugh, cambridge police. rushing to judgment, dangerous. it ruins people's lives.
6:15 pm
covington was forced to close its doors amid a wave of death threats. the student at the center of this attack talked to nbc savannah guthrie to reflect on all the hate. take a look. >> they started shouting a bunch of homophobic, racist, derogatory comments. >> what did you hear them say? i heard them call us incest kids, bigots. they called us [ bleep ] based off one expression which i wasn't but people assumed that's what i am. they've gone from there to titling me and labeling me as a racist person, someone that's disrespectful which they've had to assume so many things to get there. >> sean: there's nothing i have seen that sandman has anything to apologize for. they walked up to him. he stood there calmly, peacefully, said he was trying
6:16 pm
to smile as a 64-year-old man approached the teen playing the drum, as you can see in the video. to the media, he became an instant villain. and we all know why. here's a message to the left and their partners in the fake news media. the face of bullying, hate, smear, slander, it's not wearing a red hat that says let's make this wonderful country of ours great again. when are you all going to take a look in the mirror, take ownership of the lies, the division, the rush to judgment and chaos that you so willingly seem to sow. your hatred for this president, we saw it with the buzzfeed article. if it's true, then spend hours and hours and hours speculating about something you have not vetted. it goes so deep you're literally willing to write the story first. no investigation, no interviews, and try to plug the facts in later to fit your already conceived narrative, destroying innocent lives in the process. this is sick. it's shameful, it's dangerous. unfortunately, not surprising.
6:17 pm
now, thankfully president trump, he's standing strong against this media coming to the defense of the students he tweeted out "nick sandman and the students of covington have become symbols of fake news and how evil it can be. they have captivated the attention of the world, and i know they will use it for good. maybe even bring people together. it started off unpleasant but can end in a dream." . on this program, we don't want to ruin people's lives, we don't want to rush to judgment. or, you know, play the media's blame game. rush to judgment. race to conclusions to score cheap political points. due process, the presumption of innocence, fairness to all people. it's actually paramount to the survival of this great constitutional republic that so many sacrificed, bled, and died for. it's part of what makes america great in the first plate, the greatest place the world has known with more hope, for opportunity, more prosperity
6:18 pm
than we've seen els elsewhere. joining us now, house minority leader kevin mccarthy is with us. let's start with the speaker of the house, let's start with the u.s. constitution article ii section 3 and your thoughts and interpretations. >> well, you're right, article ii section three says the president has to come and present to congress. since 1913, woodrow wilson, there's been 83 times -- not presidents, a number of times they came there to present to congress. the speaker of the house invited president trump on january 3rd when he was sworn in. she also said that should be a town hall, a place where we can have debates and others. i truly believe history will mark this as a low point for the speaker of the house, for that office, to disinvite this president. tomorrow, i am bringing forth to the floor a privileged resolution disapproving of the actions of --
6:19 pm
>> sean: explain what the privilege resolution does. that gives you the opportunity to get an up and down vote. >> it gives everybody an opportunity to vote for this. those democrat freshmen who do not like the action of what this speaker is taking -- i've heard from senior members of the democrats, the chair of agriculture committee, he said give trump the money. the arms services chair says walls work. even the number two steny hoyer believes in having a barrier or a wall. what speaker pelosi is doing is almost acting like a dictator. a privilege resolution lieus a vote on the -- allows a vote on the floor. i believe it is more important now to have the president, the senators, the house members, republican and democrats alike, all in one place talking about where america's at today and where we can go in the future. this is bigger than just our country. the world watches the state of the union. and you know what's most
6:20 pm
concerning to me? since 1934 there has not been a state of the union past february 2nd. she is pulling politics before people and she's running it almost like a dictatorship. >> sean: let me put up on the screen for the audience the constitution and what it actually says. this is article ii section 3 meaning the president shall come from time to time to give congress information to the state of the union, recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient and he may on extraordinary occasions convene both houses or either of them, one or the other. and in a case of disagreement between them, the respect to the time of adjournment. he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper and he shall receive ambassadors and senators -- sounds like the president can go to the senate. sounds like the president may even constitutionally -- and i'll let the scholars battle
6:21 pm
that out, have the ability to do that anyway. >> since 1913, woodrow wilson came in person. there's been 83 times sinks then that has taken place. speaker pelosi is trying to change history. now, we have to have a vote to make sure both houses come together. so i introduced that resolution today where people can join on that bill to actually, the resolution and move it forward. if speaker pelosi will deny the vote of the american people -- deny the american people to hear from their president. what's most concerning to me, look at what history has done. when we were in the power in the house, did we ever disinvite barack obama? no. >> sean: let me ask you one last question. because the president stayed back, no vacation. they went on vacation. they've been on junkets, private jets, interesting. and excursions that hillary wanted to take, but the president almost daily has invited them to negotiate. if she cared about daca dreamers, which would be a huge
6:22 pm
concession by the president, and the president offers to meet with them, and they continue to send aides or not show up, what are you to do in that case? how do you have a deal with somebody that won't even talk to you? >> that's the difficulty here. you're really asking what we voted on the floor today was to pay those 800,000 workers right now and all the democrats but ten voted no. nancy pelosi has the record for speaking the longest on the floor last year. and it was about daca. but she comes out against the president's proposal, which is reasonable, which finds common ground. build the wall, take care of the daca kids. all for what? something for everybody which i think america is looking for. it's only the president who is leading and trying to end this shutdown when the speaker's totally acting a total different way. >> sean: thank you, kevin mccarthy, for being with us. when we come back, he's also a lawyer, senator lindsey graham on nancy pelosi's state of the

my teemotionally, socially. very sore spot for me, if i would've known that i was gonna be 50 times happier... i would've gone into aspen dental much sooner. it was a very life changing experience... and it felt like i was me again. that's when i realized i hadn't been for three years. at aspen dental we're all about yes. like yes to flexible hours and payment options. yes to free exam and x-rays for new patients without insurance.
6:26 pm
and yes whenever you're ready to get started, we are too. call 1-800-aspendental today.
6:27 pm
>> sean: speaker pelosi's state of the union stunt isn't the only left wing fiasco on capitol hill. freshmen democrats have been given key spots on house committee. the house oversight committee is adding a group of progressive flame throwers to its ranks, including the new star of the democratic party and leader alexandria cortez. here are a few of the recent controversial comments they have made, the leaders.
6:28 pm
>> it will continue. [ indiscernible ] don't you ever let anybody take away your roots, culture, who you are. when your son looks at you and say mama, bullies don't win. no, they don't. we're going to go in and impeach the [ bleep ]. >> unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs. >> there's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factory and semantically correct than about being morally right. >> sean: here is south carolina senator lindsey graham. senator, good to see you. by the way, the world is ending in 12 years. >> that's what i hear. >> sean: a lot of issues here. how could anybody look in the eye of a parent that lost a kid from a heroin overdose and not say -- or say that this is manufactured or look in the face of an angel mom or dad, same
6:29 pm
issue there, and not even be willing to talk about the issue with the president but it's life and death, safety and security, and then put out all of these demands. it makes it impossible. >> what you don't have is clips of democratic senators saying this because they know it's a death blow to the party. president trump made a brilliant political move and good for the country to go to the middle. wall plus daca plus tps. i've had more democratic senators talk to me in the last two days than talk to me in the last 30 days. the harder nancy pelosi goes left and the more trump goes to the middle, we're going to get this thing solved. >> sean: tomorrow, i can see chuck schumer winding up all the democrats to vote on that compromise plan. tpa, daca, dreamers, and by the way the house wanting to pay the furloughed employees. no democrats supporting that
6:30 pm
either. i guess that was a lie also. >> you'll have a vote tomorrow on the president's plan that will get almost all republicans, very few democrats. we'll have schumer's proposal, that i'll vote against. then the hard work starts. we had a meeting today with eight democrats and eight republicans. nancy pelosi has become a nightmare for the democratic party. she seems unreasonable. she seems to have a dislike for the president that is hurting the country. this idea of not letting the president speak is really overplaying your hand. i want your listeners to know that there's a reaction to this far left rhetoric in the senate by more mainstream democrats that i think will eventually allow us to get the wall funded and do some things for the daca recipients and tps recipients. therest a deal in the -- there's a deal in the making. and the more extreme nancy pelosi gets, the more likely we'll have a deal. >> it can't include amnesty, you're going to lose -- >> it won't. it will not. i promise you it will not.
6:31 pm
>> sean: okay. et seems likes nancy pelosi is -- it seems like nancy pelosi is intimidated and afraid of this new radical extreme element. >> i think so. >> sean: what is your take and interpretation of the constitution article ii section 3. >> i think the president has a lot of power. she can december invite him to the house, but come to the senate, mr. president. there's plenty of places the president can choose to deliver the state of the union. here's the question for america. what kind of union do you want? do you want a country that looks more like venezuela and less like america? they're going to take you to the land where the government taxes everything in its power. they control every decision in life. and you'll see venezuela come here. this is what this whole election is going to be about in 2020. do we go further left and welcome like venezuela or do we become the america that all of us want us to be. if i'm a democrat, these people
6:32 pm
are defining my party in a way that gives it a very limited future in america, in my view. >> sean: so the president to me obviously -- and i agree with him -- views this as life and death, safety and security of the american people. stopping the heroin -- 90% of the heroin in this country from coming across the border, fentanyl. that seems like a principled, strong position, also part of his -- when he pledges to faithfully serve and protect the constitution, that means its people, he's the commander in chief as per the constitution. what is the democratic position? they don't want daca. they don't seem to care about furloughed employees. they don't seem to care about dreamers. what is this fight about then for them? >> they want trump to fail more than they want the country to win. a dollar for the wall. does that make sense in light of the caravans that have been coming? a broken border is more dangerous to the country than a partial government shutdown.
6:33 pm
in their world, there is no i.c.e. you get a dollar for the wall and the border patrol agents are gassing children, not defending the country for an onslaught. my view is that democrats in the senate are going to become more reasonable as these people define extreme positions. the president made a very smart move by putting on the table relief for daca recipients, tps yip sents, which the democrats have been for for decades. now let's see what kind of democratic party we've got. do we have a democratic party that hates trump so much they will say no to 1.1 million people having a better life? or will we have some democratic senators and house members join with the president and me to solve this problem? time will tell. >> sean: the president, it seems, he does have other options. >> yes, he does. >> sean: gangs, cartels, human trafficking, drug trafficking, real radical elements. i believe the other 98% that
6:34 pm
don't respect our laws, but they come here for a better life for themselves and their families. i believe that having been down there a lot. then the question is when the president goes alone, national emergency, what happens next? >> if i were him, i would use my power as commander in chief to build that wall because he promised to build it. every democrat has voted for wall funding except when president trump became president. if i were the president, i would ask nancy pelosi if a bill passes the senate that has wall funding, protection for daca and tps, would you take it up in the house. if she says yes, i would open the government for three weeks, let the senate see if we can reach a deal. if we can't, i would use the emergency powers as the commander in chief to bring this debacle to an end. >> i'm not sure if he gives up his leverage. but if he's prepared to do the national emergency, that means he's committed one way or the other. >> one way or the other. >> sean: thanks for being with us. when we come back, the
6:35 pm
unrelenting left influencing all the media coverage of the covington controversy. we have analysis. also an exclusive report. we sent our cameras and lawrence jones into cortez's district to talk to her con stistituents ab her radical views. we have that special exclusive tape straight ahead. i wanted to fight back. my doctor and i came up with a plan. it includes preservision. only preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula recommended by the national eye institute to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd. that's why i fight. because it's my vision. preservision. also, in a great-tasting chewable.
6:36 pm
6:37 pm
6:38 pm
6:39 pm
>> sean: now nbc's savannah guthrie is facing heat from both sides following her interview with nicholas salmon and with liberals accusing her of being too soft on the teenager and the right asking if he wasapologize.
6:40 pm
just look at what side show rick wilson has to say on msnbc conspiracy tv this week about white house advisor steven miller. take a look. >> the democrats offered him $25 billion for a wall if they would do daca and president miller decided that wasn't going to be what he wanted. there is something deeply wrong with steven miller. i think we all can acknowledge that. maybe some day he'll have a relationship with a live human woman and this guy -- something will -- >> sean: more love from the left over at nbc news. i guess that's the type of insightful analysis we've come to expect. joining us now, monica crowley, media reporter for the hill joe concha is with us. monica, your reaction? >> no republican president can ever expect consistently even handed coverage, but donald trump is no normal republican
6:41 pm
president. he represents a threat to the establishment media and frankly to those folks with entrenched interest in seeing the corrupt status quo continue, sean. and the establishment media are hand maiden to making sure that that happens. any kind of interesting like the covington school, this is all collateral damage for them. they continue to go with a completely false and disapproven narrative. in fact to this very day on that story simply because they've got to double down not just against this president, who they're committed to destroying, but also everybody and everything that supports him and/or his agenda. >> sean: you know, it seems -- we saw the manufactured crisis, politicians did it on the left and the media echoed the exact same phrase, no originality to come up with a new phrase. the president seems to really seems to be about principle.
6:42 pm
safety and security of the american people and life and death. we're losing lives because that border is open, joe. so the question is: where does the media -- how do they come down here in the end because the american people seem to like a president that's fighting hard to keep promises and being principled. >> yeah, i think we focus far too much on rhetoric and not as much on results, right? the sizzle instead of the steak. i think when president trump leaves the stage, it's going to be like the 2008 financial crisis. it's going to go off the cliff and you're going to see a lot more layoffs like the 15% that we saw at buzzfeed for instance. a lot of players are going to struggle without the central character and their casting. get it first, but first get it right. they used to be the standard that a lot of media places embraced. that's changed because of social media. it's an unfiltered media. who gets their news from social
6:43 pm
media? two-thirds of americans get their news from social media. that's according to pugh. you have news organizations reacting to what's trending and what's going viral. then it goes off the ledge because in this case think of the trifecta that news organizations embraced here. covington kids, catholic, white privilege wearing trump maga hats taunting an elder native american. except they weren't taunting. he approached them. they said he's a vietnam veteran, no, he's not a vietnam veteran. you see the completely different version unlike the "new york times," boys in make american great again hats mob elder. there needs to be accountability. until people start getting fired, suspended or reprimanded, you are not going to see any changes.
6:44 pm
a cop pulls you over, hey, i'll give you a warning. you're going to keep doing it. until there are actual consequences for people that make mistakes, you're going to see this over and over again. >> the rush to judgment, every big case. they do it all the time. kavanaugh recent example. duke lacrosse, ferguson, baltimore, freddie gray. >> and joe used the word "mistakes." sometimes there are honest mistakes that are made, we all make them. increasingly we're seeing these aren't mistakes. these are deliberate smears of anybody who goes against their agenda. they accuse these kids of bigotry, but the bigotry was on their part. they had a knee jerk reaction right away. even once they knew the narrative was false and disapproven, they continued to go with it, sean. we've seen a complete corruption of the establishment media. you've said it's been dead for a long time. what's different in the trump
6:45 pm
era is the level of intensity on the part of the mainstream media. >> sean: they're not looking out for what's in the best interest of the american people. >> that's the last thing on their mind. >> sean: thank you both. when we come back, we actually sent our own lawrence jones into -- apparently congresswoman cortez is watching this show now. we sent him into their district to see what they really think about her radical policies. we'll show you what she just tweeted out straight ahead. coaching means making tough choices.
