enemy of lying, pomposity, snugness and group think. d.v.r. it if you can figure that out. good night from washington. sean is in new york. as we await the rally on the border. >> sean: i can hear you tonight which is an improvement. >> tucker: technology! >> sean: i didn't hear you the other night. a great show. thank you. welcome to "hannity." we start with the fox news awe letter. conference committee has apparently reached an agreement in principle on a budget bill to fund the border wall. it would still need the president's approval. dubious of this based on some details. i'll bring you in a moment. we'll have more details as they become available. as you can see in el paso, texas, president trump only moments away from taking the stage. as this fight over border security appears to be making some progress. we'll take you live to the president's speech as soon as that happens. but first, set the stage with our "hannity" watch on the very wall negotiations that

have been ongoing. now for days democrats, they have been up to the old tricks. once again playing politics trying to torpedo border security talks with what is an outrageous demand aimed -- think about this -- at curtailing the effectiveness of i.c.e. we know they want to abolish it in the end. over the weekend we learned democratic negotiators -- look at this -- they were pushing for arbitrary cap on the number of illegal immigrants that i.c.e. would be allowed to detain at one time. and the democrats, they wanted to set the cap at only 16,500 individuals. in other words, if capacity exceeds that number for any reason, unvetted, unverified, undocumented illegal immigrants would essentially pour free in to united states and border enforcement would be powerless to stop them. even criminals. those with violent track records, gang ties, cartel ties would all be free to

enter the country illegally and not face any immigration detention. keep in mind, look at the last two years alone. 266,000 arrests of criminal aliens have been carried out. including 100,000 assault charges. 13,000 sex crimes charges. 4,000 murder, homicide charges. and as we speak, nearly 180,000 illegal immigrants live right here in the u.s. including some of the violent felons that are already facing removal orders. democrats want to cap i.c.e. detention at 16,500. well, that is insane because 16,5001 and what if it turned out to be a murder, rapist or part of a drug cartel? president trump has been calling for more funding, more resources, more security, to tackle the scourge of drugs, gang violence, human trafficking, sex trafficking of the young girls and more

democrats seem content which trying to make the border security what? more difficult? now, look, the president is foughting this as it is. a life and -- fighting this as it is. a life-and-death issue. this is about your family's safety and security first. democrats once again playing just pure politics. it's pretty outrageous. they seem to hate donald trump. that is more important to them based on their actions than your security, your family security, more important than daca, dreamers, even furloughed employees that they claim to care so much about. these are the things they say they wanted. just a few short years ago. in obama's second term. they were advocating the same policies donald trump is now pushing hard for. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell put it in the democratic party, the radicals, as i've been saying the radical extremist new socialist party is running the show. take look. >> senator mcconnell: this is a poison pill that no

administration, not this one, not the previous one would or should ever accept. imagine the absurdity of this. the house democrats want to set a limit on how many criminal aliens government can detain. this is where some democrats are. a get out of jail free card for criminals because the radical left doesn't like u.s. immigration and customs enforcement. >> sean: now for months we told you the radical extreme left has consumed the democratic party. now we're watching what? open borders. that agenda play out in real time. they want to eliminate i.c.e. but americans now are waking up and waking up very, very quickly and seeing how extreme the new democratic socialist party is. now the president's approval rating, look at this. his highest point in two years. look after the "state of the union." cbs evening news poll. 72% of the american people

approved of the president's "state of the union" remarks about immigration. so, by the way if you are arame, especially in the senate -- if you're a republican, especially in the senate -- we will talk to lindsey graham tonight -- it's time to take a stand and do your job and fulfill your promises and stop being so afraid of ever being courageous. keep your promises to the american people. you know, we will see, because if they did that we'd be safer as more details about the compromise become available. here is the bottom line. if you're a republican senator or house member and you are too weak to stake a stand it's probably time for you to retire. go home. let somebody who is willing to fight take your place. if democrats, if they continue to stonewall, play politics with the national security, drugs coming in the country in this brand new deal that we'll find out more about, the president will have no choice, he will veto this. and declare a national emergency. why?

because as commander-in-chief, the president has a lot of perfectly legal options for building the wall. including look at this, 10. usc.284. it gives them the authority to complete construction of roads, fences, installation of lighting to drop drug smuggling corridors across the international boundaries of the united states. by the way, the fence can be defined a million ways. of course, the primary smuggling corridors in the u.s. are right there at our southern border. that is where 90% of the heroin in this country comes from. those borders. that means that helps put an end to the opioid epidemic in the country. so tonight, congress has two options. they do the jobs. they agree on a compromise that doesn't weaken border security or do nothing. s and they can get left behind. because the wall, predict, is going to be funded and going to be built. i believe the president is

unrelenting, tenacious and doing everything and will do everything in his power to keep his promise, get this done, even declaring a national emergency, which may even happen this week. if that is what it takes, fine. that's what it takes. he tack an oath to protect this country. do you not want to be protected and more secure? do we want to stop the cartels, the gangs, ms-13, human traffickers, drug traffickers, those that we haven't vetted that may bring harm to our fellow americans? we look forward to seeing what this agreement entails. i'm very dubious. also, of course, when the far left radicals inside the democratic party when they are calling the shots like congresswoman omar, negotiations are probably likely to break down. remember when she publicly accused border officials torturing referee -- refugees or the border patrol had to use tear gas to protect themselves against the rocks

and bottles thrown at them? they were accused of gassing children, remember? tonight in the "hannity" watch on the extreme socialist party we are seeing a sad extreme chapter unfolding before our eyes surrounding congresswoman omar. for a group that constantly tries to claim the moral high ground on everything now the democratic modern extreme radical party has an antisemitism that is now running amok inside the party. look at this over the weekend. omar was lampooned for a series of antisemitic tweets pushing a conspiracy theory that, "jewish money was behind support for america's closest ally in the middle east. the only democracy there. she tweeted. "it was all about the benjamins." after pressure from her own party she is "apologizing for offending jewish americans." but the problem is this is nothing new. they know who she is and what she haslam said in the past --

what she has said in the past. she is obsessed with hating israel for a long time. once tweeting no apology, israel hypnotized the world. may allah awaken the people and help them see the evening doings of israel." sadly, omar is not the only democrat with antisemitic ties. in 2006 her colleague congresswoman tlaib offered op-ed for the nation of islam publication that is called "the final call." this is justin louis farrakhan's paper who frequently refers to jews as satan tick, termites and -- satanic, termites and worse. he once said that hitler was a great man and jews were responsible for 9/11. this is a sick, despicable anti-semite. those who write for the paper and associate with him like congresswoman tlaib, this is not a good look for a sitting congresswoman to start with. it comes also as the other prominent democrats are facing many of their own scandals involving race. look at the commonwealth of

virginia. disgraced democratic governor ralph northam. he is digging himself into an even deeper hole amid continued calls to step down following a racist yearbook photo. and his admitted use of blackface in the '80s. after vowing to stay in office to promote racial healing. really? then the governor said this over the weekend. when he was talking about virginia's slave path. listen closely to what he says. >> if you look at virginia's history we are now at the 400-year anniversary. just 90 miles from here in 1619, the first indentured servants from africa landed on our shores in old point comfort, what we call now fort monroe. >> also known as slavery. >> yes. while we have made a lot of progress in virginia, slavery has ended, schools have been desegregated, we have ended the gym -- jim crow laws and

access to voting it's abudget don'tly clare we have -- abundantly clear we have work to do. >> sean: northam's remarks in the saga have shown his deep, deep disconnect with the people of his state who certainly deserve better. indentured servants, really? the top three leaders in virginia are all embroiled in scandal including the lieutenant governor justin fairfax who is refusing to step down after two serious allegations of violent sexual misconduct. and in one case he is accused of rape. by the way, the person making the accusation has many people that she told at the time backing up her story. staff members are reportedly now quitting, refusing to work for the embattled lieutenant governor. by the way, where are all the i believe, i believe, i believe senators? we'll keep you updated on the latest developments. of course, the scandal in virginia, it all started with governor northam's radical position where he actually

advocated for out-and-outright infanticide. first he said we'll deliver the baby, make the baby comfortable and then we'll let the mother decide if there is going to be any medical assistance for the baby. really? that bill legalizing abortion even during the birthing process. after nine full months. this is infanticide. pretty sick stuff. tonight that is only one in a long list of the radical positions of this new extreme radical democratic socialist party. including many who are now running for the nomination to be president in 2020. for their party. which brings us tonight to the "hannity" watch on the extreme 2020 democrats. we'll start with new jersey senator spartacus, cory booker. comparing the green new deal to going to the moon. and defeating the nazis. booker is talking about congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez's bizarre,

horrific new piece of legislation. let's see. that would plan the end of consumption of fossil fuels in ten years. by the way, the planet is going to die in 12 years. what is the point? seriously, don't write off congresswoman ocasio-cortez and her grandiose plans. look at the teams that are now coming out in support of this, this green new deal which calls for no more oil, no more gas, no more fossil fuels of any kind. not even any nuclear energy. it doesn't stop there. this bill that would eliminate airplanes, gas powered automobiles and trucks. gas-powered ovens and stoves. by the way, if you like steak. no more cows too. much flatulence. they commit co2 emissions. no more cows. you better load up on the steak and put in a freezer. her proposal also plans

literally to remodel, rebuild and retrofit every building in america to meet the insane new energy efficiency standards of hers. and it gets worse. according to her office, every american is guaranteed a job and a salary. by the way, whether or not they are willing to work or not. although they are trying to back down on that part of it. we are talking about guaranteed healthcare, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed vacations. trillions and trillions of new taxes. 70% tax rate is just the beginning for her. for those of us who are willing and able to work, well, but that is just one part of the democrats' insane push to radicalism. the new platform. elizabeth warren wants a new tax on wealth. that means your savings. that is money that is already taxed. after you pay 50, 60 cents of every dollar, if you manage to save anything she wants another bite at the apple.

by the way, 40% when you die. they want another bite at the apple. another 10% if you live in new york. they want half again. you pay to die in america. senator kamala harris wants to end all private insurance. 187 million americans wiped out of their private insurance. by the way, to put in place a government-run healthcare system called "medical -- medicare for all." and kirsten gillibrand says the same. no more private insurance. listen. they are more socialist than the crazy cousin bernie from vermont. senator gillibrand also wants to completely abolish i.c.e. as do others. this is the party of higher taxes, open borders, eliminating i.c.e., late-term abortion and government control of all industry and every aspect of your life. they are going to take away all of your insecurities and promise you healthcare and housing and daycare and college and a job and a vacation. okay. then they are going to nationalize the energy industry.

how did that obamacare thing work out? keep your doctor, keep your plan and save less. in other words they want to take capitalism, the very system that is the envy of the world, that is lifted more people out of poverty than any other system in history and flush it all down the toilet with no hope of ever getting it back. destroying the single best wealth-producing structure in the history of man. even poor people in america. compare them and their lives in most cases, if you're not homeless, do they have running water? do they have toilets? do they have kitchens? do they have refrigerators? freezers? are they able to cook? i have been to some of the poorest housing projects in america. i have been inside. so ask yourself. are those values that will make america great? are those values that will improve your life at all? do you think anybody with money is going to stay here? they are going to leave like they are leaving new york, new

jersey, illinois, and california in droves. tens and tens of thousands a year. 400,000 new residents in texas and florida. no state income tax. all right. as you can see we are awaiting the president. joining us first is the south carolina senator lindsey graham. all right, senator. over the weekend they were going to cap to 16,500. the number of the people i.c.e. can detain. we hear now there mate be a breakthrough. i don't trust it. i don't believe it. what do you know? >> i know the president will never sign a bill that caps fed space for violent offenders because that is crazy. it's dangerous. you will incentivize more illegal immigration. the party, the democratic party doesn't want to build a wall. and apparently, if you come in the country legally and we catch you, they don't want to hold you. so other than that, they are in a good spot on border security. >> sean: okay. do you know what the "breakthrough" is? >> i don't. i know what cannot be in it. you can't have a cap on bed

space. this is interior detention. when we catch you inside the country. there is bed spaces for people caught at the border. but if we catch you inside the country like in new york, ms-13 gangs, this is where we catch most of the criminals. they get through the border. they get themselves integrated in the country. we have been deporting thousands of gang members. this would deny us the bed space to hold them until they are deported. it's a dangerous concept. the president will not agree to it. to get more wall money to limit bed space is a bad, dangerous deal. >> sean: all right. let's talk about the u.s. 284 which i discussed earlier. the language is clear. i read the statue. it was pointed out to me by senator mike lee of utah, your colleague. the language that i put up on the screen is triss call clear. the -- crystal clear. the president has the right to do this, right? >> yeah. basically we have allocated money to deal with the drugger

corridors. but there is also language in appropriation bill that you can move around $4 billion inside the department of defense in the discretion of the secretary and the president. there is well over $4 billion available to the president under current law. in addition to what the congress will give him in this deal. so i would assume they will take the money and the deal. it won't be enough. it will be well short of $5.7 million and do what we talked about to make up the difference between the appropriated amount and the $5.7 million. >> sean: the president by the way just stepped out. not being introduced. he stepped out to the crowd. he is in el paso, texas. let me ask you this. do you agree with me that based on the president's commitment to keep his promise he will use 284, the military, as he said today he is building the wall already. i believe he has no choice at this point. your thoughts? i believe he will do it in the next week. >> number one he has to do it because the need is real. the amount of money given will

not be $5.7 billion but it will be a down payment. he has to go find the money in other ways and he has to do it on his own. i think he will declare a national emergency because he needs to, to find the issue that way. >> sean: what do you make of the radical democratic party we are seeing? the late-term abortion, high taxes, free distribution, free, free, free, free? >> it's so free nobody can afford it. put it this way. making america great again is a noble quest for any party. what they are trying to do is basically destroy america as we know it. america is great because you come from anywhere, and everywhere. you can be born in the back of a liquor store. you can wash dishes and then have your own tv show, like you. >> sean: you were born in the back of a liquor store so maybe people don't know that about you. >> my mom and dad worked hard. we owned liquor store, bar and poolroom.

if you didn't get to work you didn't get paid. that is the america i grew up in. that is the america i'd like to pass on. >> sean: i don't know, we have to share stories. i was washing dishes every friday, saturday and sunday night. it wasn't a machine. by hand. that included pots and pands until 2:00 a.m. every friday, saturday, sunday night. senator, the -- >> you turned out pretty good. >> sean: president is about to take the podium but you predict as i do it will be a national emergency. >> i think he has to declare a national emergency to the republican colleagues, have his back on this. have the president's back. >> sean: we need secure borders. the president is fighting for life and death, safety and security. go to el paso, texas. [applause] >> usa! usa! usa! usa! [applause]

>> president trump: thank you very much, el paso. thank you very much. thank you. [applause] i am very, very thrilled to be here in the great state of texas. [cheers & applause] right on the banks of the legendary rio grande. i don't know, you heard, right? today, we started a big, beautiful wall right on the rio grande. [applause] right smack on the rio grande. i love this state. i love the people of this state. we have had a great romance together. you know that. it's been a great romance.

we are only getting stronger together. that's what is happening. wow! look at all the press. do you believe that? this is like the academy awards used to be. used to be. they have gone down a long way since they started hitting us a little bit. right? they have gone down. that was a long, a long fall. but there they are. last week, i was honored to stand in the house chamber to deliver the "state of the union." [applause] i asked both parties to come together to choose greatness for america. since taking office two years ago our economy is now the

hottest economy anywhere on earth. our military desperately needed funding. we went $700 million -- $700 billion and it's more powerful than ever before. not a great situation. tire and depleted. our great warriors were not taken care of. now they are taken care of again the way they should be. and america is winning again. isn't that nice? we are fighting for all miles per hours -- for all americans from every background,

religion, birthplace, color, creed. we are fighting for ourselves. we are fighting for all americans. what is it? america first. remember, it's america first. >> usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! >> president trump: our agenda is not a partisan agenda. although some people say it is. every once in a whale it does become that way. right? it's a main stream common sense agenda of the american people. it's where we want to be and where we want to go.

and despite the fact that the media refuses to acknowledge what we have done and how well we are doing it. a new poll just came out as i was coming on and it shows i don't know how you can do this. i don't think i have had a good story in years. i don't get good -- i used to get great press. until i decided to run for office. and we have done together an incredible job. and a new poll just came out today. rasmussen, one of the most respected polls, one of the polls that got the election right. so i have to remember that. you know what the number is? 52%. [applause] explain that. explain that.

explain that. how do you get that when you don't get good press? i guess 93% of the stories are negative. no matter what we do. they figure out a way to make it negative. like i'll give you a quick example. when i came in, north korea, it looks like it was going to war. you know that. it was going to happen. bad things. now you have no missile launches. you have no rocket testing. no nuclear testing. i have a good relationship. maybe even a great relationship. we have tremendous sanctions on north korea. but we have our hostages back. remains are coming back. remains. and our presidents have been dealing with north korea for many, many decades. many, many decades. and on a nuclear way over the

last 20, 30 years, and all i hear is, "can't you move faster?" i left singapore 15 months ago. they have been negotiating for 85 years or something. so now their complaint is, "what is taking him so long?" i heard one of our great geniuses from a previous administration telling me how to negotiate with north korea when they got taken advantage of like nobody i've ever seen before. so some day, with all of us, this is all of us -- and those hats are beautiful, by the way. [applause] it's true. some day, they are going to appreciate us all and i'm going to vietnam to hanoi in

the near future to 27 and 28 of february to have another summit. hopefully we do as well with the second summit as we did with the first. i hope so. now we are delight and i'm delighted to be joined this evening by the texas leaders. you have great leaders. great people. great help to me. better at the forefront of this -- that rat the forefront -- that are at the forefront of the incredible revolution. there has never been anything like this in the history of our country. we have to understand that. there has never been. if you would say as an example that tonight 69,000 people signed up to be here. now the arena holds 8,000. and thank you, fire department. they got in about 10,000. thank you, fire department. appreciate it.

but if you want to really see something, go outside. tens of thousands of people are watching screens outside. [applause] and we were all challenged by a young man who lost an election to ted cruz. and then they said you know what? hey, you are supposed to win in order to run. by the way, we, i, we, i'm 1 for 1. we had one election. we won. now we'll be 2-0 and everything will be perfect. but a young man who has got very little going for himself except he has a great first

name. he challenged us. so we have let's say 35,000 people tonight. and he has 200 people, 300 people. not too good. [applause] in fact, what i would do is say that may be the end of his presidential bid. but he did challenge us. so, i want to introduce some great people. your governor, greg abbott. [applause] where is he? where is greg? thank you, greg. a great governor. a great friend of mine. lieutenant governor dan patrick. thanks, dan. thank you, dan.

look at him in the corner. so shy. thank you, dan. great job, dan. attorney general ken paxton. thanks, ken. and agriculture commissioner sid miller. [applause] thank you, sid. thank you, everybody. thanks, ken. great job you do. we are especially grateful to your wonderful senators john cornyn and ted cruz. [applause] great senators. >> usa! usa! usa!

billions of dollars. and did you see the -- i haven't been here very long. the trade deficit really went down very big this last month. and people are saying whoa! i told you so. that's what i do. that's what i do. and we don't want china to have a hard time. thank you. thank you. [applause] thank you. i can only tell you this. we will going to make great deals oned they. -- deals on trade. we're going to make great deals on military. if we defend another nation that is rich, they have to help us out. do we agree? they have to help us out. they are doing it. you saw south korea. they were paying us $500

million a year. i say you have to do more. you have to do more now. they are up to almost $900 million. that was like on two phone calls. i said, i said what i didn't they do this before? they said nobody ever asked. nobody asked. you pick up almost $500 million a year. nobody asked. we're defending rich countries. they've got to help us out, folks. they have to help us out. sorry. and you know what? they are going to like us more and maybe more importantly they will respect us. since the election, we have created $5.3 million jobs including more than half a million new manufacturing jobs. remember? manufacturing was dead. they said manufacturerring was

dead. the previous administration. you will never have it. you need the magic wand. that is what they said. we found the magic wand. the numbers are small compared to what is happening, compared to all the companies that are moving in. the unemployment -- [crowd reacting] [applause] >> usa! usa! usa!

usa! usa! >> president trump: thank you very much. the unemployment rates for african-americans, hispanic americans and asian americans have reached the lowest level in the history of our country. [applause] >> president trump: thank you. [crowd chanting]

thank you. you all right? everything okay? please. okay. thank you, thank you. and women have filled almost 60% of the new jobs created last year, which were a record number. we passed massive tax cuts for working families and we canceled a record number of job-killing regulations. that is why your oil and gas is coming back. [applause] we eliminated the obamacare individual mandate. and to give critically ill patients access to life-saving

treatments, we did something that they haven't been able to do for a long time. we passed right to try. right to try. that is incredible, the right to try. we have the greatest doctors and the research in the world. if someone was terminally ill, they would travel to asia, they would travel to europe, all over the world if they had the money. if they didn't have if money they would just go home. there was nothing they could do. i said wait a minute, we have drugs in the pipeline that are showing tremendous progress. if someone is terminally ill, let's let them have access to our drugs. let them have access. it's tougher than you think but we got it. you will not understand, nobody understands the life-saving effects. it's incredible what is going

on. people are getting better. they were thinking they were going to die. right to try. i always wondered why we didn't do it before. the people in texas won't care much about this but the united states is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas on earth. [applause] i didn't think you'd care about that. i didn't think texas would care about that. listen to this. and texas oil production is now at the highest level it has ever been. [applause] and only for the great oil professionals in the room, we

are getting those pipelines approved so fast you will be able to practically double up on oil production, oil and gas. they are getting approved at record levels and record time. that means more money, more security, and more independence for our country. it's very simple. at one they said could never get passed, they have been trying to do it for 40 years. we passed v.a. choice. veterans choice. [applause] so that now rother than waiting online -- rather than waiting online for five days, nine days, for three weeks --

[crowd chanting] >> usa! usa! usa! usa! >> president trump: where do these people come from? where do they come from? they go back home to mommy. they get punished when they get home.

[crowd chanting] >> president trump: you really mean finish that wall because we have built a lot of it. finish it. [applause] but before we get to the wall, so, v.a. accountability and v.a. choice. accountability, we couldn't fair anybody from the veterans administration. we couldn't fire anybody. we could treat veterans badly and we had to take. i now you get rid of them. and v.a. choice, they would wait online for days and weeks. they couldn't see a doctor. now they go out and have a choice. they get a private doctor. they get things taken care of

and we pay their bill. they have been trying to get those two things fixed for many, many decades. many years. we have passed the farm bill for the wonderful farmers, ranchers and growers. we just got it passed. we had to do it. our farmers are great. we just got it done. farmers, ranchers, growers and we passed historic legislation to combat the opioid crisis. [applause]

thank you. >> president trump: is there anyplace that is more fun to be than a trump rally? is there anyplace? [cheers & applause] you know they all said,

"mr. president, we loved the tone of your 'state of the union' speech." some people said it was a great speech. some people said really a great speech. i said but if i ever did that in el paso, texas, it wouldn't work here the well. do you agree? nice and calm. no, that is not what you are looking for. this is more fun. this is more fun. and we just signed ground-breaking criminal justice reform into law. nobody thought that was going to be happening. in my address last week, i asked lawmakers in both parties to cross the aisle and

join together for the common good for all americans. democrats have to stop being so angry. they're angry. and they've got to start being partners to keep this -- really. is this an incredible miracle that is going on? we want to keep it going. keep it going. and it will keep going. it will keep going. there is so much to celebrate in your country. the economy. the military. so many things we've done scientifically. the world is trying to copy what we have done. they're not going to be able to do it. not anymore. they were catching up fast. now they are going in the wrong direction. wrong direction. unfortunately many of the democrats in congress

responded to my call for bipartisan cooperation by instead choosing really -- hey, look, did you ever see anything? radical resistance. it's the radical left. maybe it will change. maybe it will change. it all has to do with 2020 and the election. but i really don't like their policy of taking away your car. of taking away your airplane flights. of let's hop a train to california. you are not allowed to own cows anymore. there are a lot of problems. a lot of problems. but nobody has ever had this -- by the way, with us, we handle it. no president should ever have to go through what we've gone through in the first two years. it's a hoax. it's a disgrace. it should never be allowed to

happen again. a hoax! [applause] just recently as an example senator richard burr from the great stas of north carolina. he is chairman of the senate intelligence committee. they have been investigating the russia hoax for two years. think of it. they have interviewed over 200 people. they have studied hundreds of thousands of documents and pages. and richard just announced that they found no collusion between donald trump and russia. [applause] the fact is that the real collusion was between hillary and the democrats and the

other side with russia. that's where the collusion is. that's where the collusion is. [applause] that is starting to make a lot more sense. but that is where the collusion is. with the democrats and with russia and with others. by the way, there is also collusion between the democrats and the fake news right here. they know it better than anybody.

too many are focused on tearing down the opposition insteld of building up the country. by the way, i don't think anybody wants to pay 770, 80, 95% tax. look at how low the taxes are. the lowest they have been from the beginning. who wants to change what we are doing now? we are a hot, hot country. last week they introduced a massive government take over that would destroy the incredible economic gains. they introduced the so-called "green new deal."

sounds like a ohio term paper that got a low mark. i would shut down american energy. i don't think the people in texas will be happy with that. it would shut down a little thing called air travel. how do you take a train to europe? you know, this crazy senator from hawai'i. they said do you like it? " yes, i like it very much." really? how with regretting to dorb -- how are we getting to haze on on -- to hawai'i on a train? they want to take away the car, reduce the value of the home and put millions of americans out of work. spend $100 trillion, by the way, there is no such thing of $100 trillion. you have to spend $100 trillion. remember this, no other

country except us is going to do it. that is a little problem, too. while the world's real polluters like china would get many of our companies and factories, they just move in to china, they move to other parts of the world. that is the way the system works. not going to happen, folks. don't worry. it's not going to happen. not going to happen. $100 trillion. let's spend $100 trillion. let's rip down every building in new york city and rebuild it environmentally slightly better. to pave the way for socialism. democrats are calling for massive tax hikes and the complete elimination of private healthcare. many of us have private healthcare. that manes -- means you can stand in line for five days as you wait for a doctor who is not nearly as talented as your

doctor. remember, "you can keep your doctor." remember that? 28 times. that didn't happen. it turned out to be a lie. where are the fact-checkers? some of the most dishonest people in media are the so-called "fact-checkers." 28 times. you can keep your doctor. that didn't turn out to be what he said. they are coming for your money. and they are coming for your freedom. it will never happen. it won't even come close, folks. democrats are also pushing extreme late-term abortion. allowing children to be ripped from their mother's womb right up until the moment of birth. what is that all about?

in virginia, the governor -- he has gotten a little publicity lately. i like him. he keeps us out of the paper. i like him. we should find more guys like this one. he will want moonwalked. "darling, that would be inappropriate." i want to see someone imitate the moonwalk and michael jackson. not a good scene. his wife saved him. "darling, this would be inappropriate." i think she was right. the governor stated that he would even allow a newborn baby to come out in to the world and wrap the baby and make the baby comfortable. and then talk to the mother. and talk to the father and then execute the baby. execute the baby.

incredible. millions of innocent, beautiful babies are counting on us to protect them, and we will. that is why last week are called on congress with your great congressman over there. thank you, fellas. to immediately pass legislation prohibiting extreme late-term abortion. and that certainly is extreme. many people have never even heard -- i mean, did you ever hear of anything like this? democrats must also address the double standard on full display in virginia. by the way, that state is going to go republican pretty soon.

i'm sure about that. because the democrat party has never been more outside of the mainstream. they are becoming the party of socialism, late-term abortion, open borders, and crime. this weekend, some democrats even proposed a measure that would force the release of thousands of criminal illegal aliens, including dangerous felons convicted of rape, sex trafficking, violent assault, and even murder into our country. can you believe it? their proposal would put a hard cap on the number of illegal aliens that our brave i.c.e. officers -- we love our i.c.e.

officers. can detain and thus remove, forcing thousands of criminals to be set free into united states communities. i don't think so. okay? i don't think so. i want to thank our i.c.e. officers. what they put up with is incredible. that includes border patrol and that includes law enforcement. law enforcement. we love them. they keep us safe. in the last two years alone, i.c.e. officers have made 200 -- listen to these numbers. 266,000 arrests of criminal aliens including those charged or convicted of approximately 100,000 assaults, 40,000 larcenies, 30,000 sex crimes, 25,000 burglaries.

12,000 vehicle thefts, 11,000 robberies, 4,000 kidnappings and 4,000 murders. murders, murders, murders, killings, murders. [crowd chanting] we will. we will. if we cut detention space, we are cutting loose dangerous criminals into our country. >> that is the president addressing his supporters in el paso, texas. on this new so-called compromise, 1.3 billion? that's not even a wall, a barrier. i'm going to tell this night we will get back into this tomorrow. any republican that supports this garbage compromise, you will have to explain. look at this crowd.

look at the country. look at cbs news. even they say 72% of the american people want the heroin to stop, the cartels, the gang members to stop and those who wish us ill. we will always be fair and balanced. we are not the hate-trump media. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham has an exclusive interview with the president. she is at the rally. >> laura: thanks so much. this is a wild scene here tonight. the president has a massive crowd inside. we will be bringing you our exclusive interview and just a of moments. thousands of people outside waiting as well. we are a mile from the mexican border where president trump of course is currently holding this gargantuan rally. in moments, we will be back with my conversation with the president but first let's get back to the rally. >> president trump: they said progress is being made with this committee. just so you know. we are building the wall
