and thousands of people a day who will bring the illegal, what do you call them, i call them the illegals, came across the border illegally, bring them to sanctuary city areas and let that particular area take care of it, whether it's a state or whatever it might be. california is always say being want more people. and they want more people in their sanctuary cities, we can give them lot, we can give them an unlimited supply. let's see if they're so happy. they say we have open arms, let's see if they have open arms. the alternative is to change the laws that we can do it very, very quickly, very easily. >> dan: also the "new york times" reported president trump urged the acting secretary of homeland security to close the southern border despite having said he would delay a decision for a year. however, a dhs spokesman pushed back on the claim. and breaking moments ago, in a victory for the trump administration, the liberal ninth circuit court has temporarily blocked the judge's

order that would have stopped the trump administration from returning asylum seek source mexico. joining us with reaction is the white house principal deputy secretary hogan gidley. thanks for joining us, really appreciate it. i'm curious about the proposal from the white house to move illegals into sanctuary cities, we can't detain more than 20 days for a family, i'm curious, i'd like your perspective, why aren't liberal governors and mayors out there celebrating, hogan, i mean they've wanted them in the cities, some of them proposing to allow them to vote. >> we have a crisis at our southern border, well documented on this show many times. donald trump predicted this, democrats mocked and derided him when he said we would see a record surge coming across the southern border. here we are, 100,000-plus last month alone. it is increasing on pace for over one million this year. democrats' only solution, is to

say let's make everything that's illegal legal. it's completely ridiculous, the president said, listen, i understand where you are, you aren't lifting a finger to help protect american families at all, you say you want open borders, democrats, you say that illegal aliens have a right to be here, regardless of the cost. so you need work with us, our administration, and come up with a way that we can transport illegal aliens, that will be released anyway based on democrat policies, into your communities. and your districts. and your state. that's the way it needs to be done. democrats say they want them in those cities and sanctuary cities which are set up as sanctuaries for illegal aliens. they say they want it, the president said fine, we'll put your money where your mouth is, we'll send them to your districts, tell us when and where to deliver them and we'd do just that. >> dan: i find it puzzling that the left is making a legality argument this in favor of illegal immigration. is this ironic?

is this escaping the left? one more thing, it's interesting, julian castro did a town hall on another network and referred the this policy as cruel. i suggested earlier, what's particularly cruel about it? i mean it's only cruel if you view illegal immigration as a burden, am i reading this wrong? his words, not mine. >> you are right. listen, they said it was to attack our political opponents, and it was wrong for us to suggest this. wait a minute, we are not attacking anybody. at the very least, you should have characterized it as an olive branch to work with the democrats. you say democrats that you want all of these illegal aliens to come into this country unchecked. we have to release them based on the laws you put on the books and you won't change. that's fine. logically, we would just work with you, ball games along the southern border, sanantonio, sandiego, el paso, yuma, we continue to release people into the same communities. it's a burden. the folks that don't work for government, the private organizations, tell us we are overtaxed, we can't do enough

from our charities to protect or help any of these people. we have to put them in place is a cross the country. the logical landing spot for so many of these illegal aliens are the sanctuary cities that democrats say they love, and they say they want these people to come into the country. illegally and unlawful unlawfully. we're asking democrats, we're here to help you out, where do you want them and they're happy to take them there. >> dan: it must feel like in the white house you guys and ladies are on an island, getting very little help with regard to what should every been a bipartisan issue establishing our borders. but have the democrats proposed to you, are they working with the white house on any, i mean this, any substantive proposal to ensure that people who come into the country do it by our laws, anything at all you can put of the for the audience? >> absolutely not. i've heard no particular plan at all from democrats. listen, they're choosing to stand with hundreds of thousands of people who pour

into the country illegally and unlawfully as opposed to 100,000 legal citizens. they cannot and will not address this issue, at all. i guess it is just political, because donald trump is in the white house and they think they could get these people in the country and get them to vote for them one day. we see human smuggling, child smuggling, human trafficking, the drug cartels, they control the southern border. the situation is so dire and so sad, and democrats won't lift a finger to work with the white house to protect our people in the american communities. but also to stop this horrific practice of using children to come into the country illegally. we have arrested, or busted up several child smuggling rings in which they use the same child multiple times to send them back to, you know, el salvador, honduras, guatamala, to come back up, they use them multiple times. it's a tragic circumstance down there and democrats won't do

anything to stop it at all. everything they're doing incentivizes more of this illegal, bad behavior. i can't understand why they won't do a thing to work with the white house, to protect american communities. their only solution is to let everyone come in here, not have a southern border, release them into your communities, into your schools, and into your neighborhoods. it's unacceptable. >> dan: it's sad, hogan, the idea of enforceable borders used to be bipartisan. i really appreciate your time. thanks for joining us tonight, hogan. >> absolutely. >> dan: predictably, following reports, the mainstream media and the democrats lost their minds and had a complete meltdown. watch this. >> this presidency, and his administration is saying we're not interested in real solutions. what we are interested in doing is demonizing migrants. it's frankly against american

values. >> it represents a sociopathy. he's truly representing a new low, if you will. >> president trump wants to use immigration, wants to use the border as a political weapon, as opposed to talking with democrats. >> he's trying to create fear. that's what he's trying to do, create fear among people throughout the united states about these migrants. >> it seems to be sort of the height, the culmination of much what we've seen, demonization of people here illegally. >> dan: here in newyork state, newyork law makers blocked a bill expanding tuition aid for gold star families. after appraising approving $27f tuition aid for illegal immigrants. democrats at their already generous programs, unbelievable, for children of military killed on the battlefield, and they did not want to extend the program to cover noncombat deaths and injuries, or extended to illegal immigrants.

joining us now with more is florida congressman matt gaetz, former economic advisor goolsby, and i.c.e. director tom homan. at the southern border, i've heard your commentary, in the midst of an unprecedented crisis at the southern border. do you see with the ninth circuit opinion that broke, keeping people in mexico while their asylum claims are being remedied, is that going to help the situation? >> no, it's going to make it worse. ninth circuit ruling after ruling, what you spoke of earlier, that's work you'll never see by a federal court. that has affected this country in a bad way more than anything in the ninth circuit. president trump took on the ninth circuit chief justice roberts, if there is evidence, it's no wonder why the aclu goes to the ninth circuit every time they want to fight the administration. terrible ruling, going to cause more problem to come illegally, more people are going to die and more cities unsafe because of this ruling. a terrible ruling, terrible.

>> dan: austin, just from the democrat perspective, i have to tell you, you know, i enjoy your commentary, even though we have political disagreements. i'm confused, president trump suggested moving some illegal immigrants in the country with families they cannot detain because of the decree, to sanctuary cities where liberal mayors and governors told us that it adds to the economic wealth and the diversity. of the city, and illegal immigrants are a net positive. what's the problem, why are democrats objecting to the policy, why is it cruel to quote julian castro? >> i thought in general, i don't think that that would be cruel. if it were posed by president trump as the spokesperson for the white house said that, it was concession, i think they could reach some agreement. what i saw of the report was that donald trump was wanting to take the most violent or those who were in detention and try to release those in nancy

pelosi's district which would be both illegal and highly questionable. >> dan: hold, on austin, i didn't see that report. just, if you allow me for a second, we were told that people crossing the border is not safety issue, we shouldn't to have worry about that, correct? >> overwhelmingly, it isn't. if you purposely try to find one person that committed some criminal act and release them into the driveway of your political opponent, to me that feels a little disingenuous. >> dan: but we were told it's not a safety issue, congressman don't worry, open borders is not a safety problem. you have heard it multiple times, not only not a safety issue, it's not a crisis, no worries, nothing to see here, everybody move along. your take on this? >> well, i don't think we'll be able to release anyone to nancy pelosi's driveway, nancy pelosi lives behind a wall.

a privilege we would like to extend to the rest of the american people. it is outrageous. i represent the district hah has the highest concentration of active duty military in the country, i represent the gold star families. one of the things that service members worry about is what would happen to their children if they have to give their life on the battlefield. my grandfather used to say don't tell me what your priorities are, show me your checkbook and i can tell what you what your priorities are newyork state, it's all messed up, the fact they have to keep pouring money in to more entitlements for illegal aliens, what that does, dan, it builds a magnet that draws peep aim cross the borders illegally, it's bad governance. >> dan: in your experience at the border, tom, you can't deny that incentives create an incentive for people to come to the country. do you think policies like this providing tuition benefits to illegal immigrants denying them to gold star families, almost, i'm almost answering the question for you, how bad is this? >> newyork wants to know why they have almost a million

illegal aliens, ms13 problems, they entice them with free tuition, free healthcare. i grew up in a small town, carthage new york, in upstate new york, home of the tenth mountain division, the most decorated, the most deployed human in the army. i've been surrounded by those families my life. what the newyork legislature did was spit on the people, finest one-half of 1%, who who wear that uniform and enter combat. over 300,000 gold star families, i take offense they're attacking the gold star families, that's my home, people who live in newyork, children go to school in newyork, spouses work in newyork, go overseas and pay the ultimate sacrifice and die for the country. in newyork state won't take care of them like they take care of illegal aliens? illegal aliens got 10 times more tuition help than gold star family. if every viewer of the show tonight is as angry as i am,

there's something terribly wrong with what is going on. >> dan: austin, surely you don't support, this in your triage-- >> i don't support it. but you misrepresented what happened here. >> dan: explain. >> just last week, the democrats passed a bill giving $25,000 a year tuition subsidies for the kids of gold star families. now, i think they should extend this. and the democratic governor and multiple democratic state legislatures also support it. they got into some goofy procedural thing that they already passed the budget, but this would cost additional money, that's why they wanted to hold it up. i think they should change that. but they are not giving 10 times more per family to the illegal-- people here illegally. >> dan: it's not misrepresenting it, if it's 10 times or not, why are they giving any, why giving any money at all? you're an economist, certainly you understand that. >> well-- >> $27 million is ten times

more than $2.7 million. when you reward illegal behavior -- they enter the country illegally, they have no respect for this country, and we reward illegal behavior, and we want to know why the board is out of control. because of democratic decisions like this. >> these are people that were brought here as children, they have-- >> 200,000 families unit coming across the border, your next daca in 10 years. these are the next daca. >> if you come over the border right now-- >> hasn't offered up one fifth of democratic leadership to slow the tide down. >> dan: congressman gaetz, i mean -- >> i'm just listening. >> dan: well, this is just so hard to believe when i originally saw the headline, i thought surely this is a farce. there is no way lawmakers would go on the record, you were there, in the state legislature, now united states

congressman, you would never sign their names to any piece of legislation or not sign to a piece to help gold star families while simultaneously supporting illegals. this is outrageous, horrible. >> i voted against giving in-state tuition to illegal aliens in the state of florida, i didn't think we wanted to create more enticements. what tom and most law men tell you when you talk about the new things that we're going to give children of illegal aliens, we end up getting more children of illegal aliens who are themselves illegal coming across the border. one of the reasons why, now, 75% of the people presenting our family units, way up from previously. when we look at the crisis on the border, 3,000 people apprehended a day, that's just the ones we're catching, far more we don't catch. it's a consequence of the policy to create the enticements. what we need to do is crack down on sanctuary cities, institute e-verify, build the wall. i think under this president, we

have a historic opportunity to finally secure the border. it sure would be nice if democrats today believed the very same things-- believed the very same things they believed in the believed in the '90s, illegal immigration was a security threat to our country and we had to have borders to be a country. let's go back to that sense, we can argue then about what to do with the people here illegally. we can't even get their agreement to secure the border now and tom's right, that creates more problems for tomorrow. >> dan: tom, one last word, i would be remiss if i didn't ask you, is there any chance, 15 seconds, that president trump's policy of putting illegal immigrants out on flores into sanctuary cities, is that going to happen? >> why wouldn't it? their policies are creating the surge at the border, why shouldn't they get the result of their failures? this president has done everything he can to try and secure this border. keeping his promise to the american people. i worked for six presidents, and no president has done more to secure the border than president trump. talked the talk, walked the walk. if democrats don't want to help him, they should see the results of their failures.

>> and it shows, i think, either a lack of understanding or willful ignorance. >> look, there's a robust tin foil hat community in the united states that truly believes that the government is spying on them. there's a deep state within the federal government. >> didn't back off that much, it's like a sean hannity script, if he wasn't doing hah what was he doing given there's no evidence for d it. >> let's just say how very, very dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement officer of our country is going off the rails. >> this is a transparent attempt by the top law enforcement officer in the contrary to make an incendiary charge without a shred of evidence. >> dan: evidence? [laughs]ho unbelievable good how about using the phony, fake, discredited dossier to get they want to spy on carter page? or the use of a? human informant

to infiltrate the campaign? or the numerous unmasking requests on president trump's associates? years more.. the good news is, accountability is coming. just listen to devin nunes last night, talking about his forthcoming criminal referrals. take a look. >> there's five direct referrals based onon lying, obstruction of a congressional investigation, and leaking. we have a global leaks referral which involves just a few reporters but could involve multiple people. i don't think it's that many people, they probably only have a few sources within the agencies. then you have conspiracy referrals based on the manipulation of intelligence. the second one is based on fisa abuse and other matters. that's where we stand, those are the eight referrals at this point. >> dan: joining me for reaction is author of "the russia hoax," fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett.

former attorney sydney powell, and congressman mike turner.. gregg, i'll go to you first, this has to be surely one of the low points for the american media, the evidence for spying, your book, what a time to have a book called "the russia hoax." what's odd about this whole thing, they're calling us conspiracy theorists as they promoted the russia hoax, and yet the evidence of spies and spy-like surveillance asset is smacking them in the face. >> as you showed with the clips the melodramatic anger and hysteria underscores that, you know, the terrificrs derangemet syndrome is in a sad dementia among the media and democrats.t they were apoplectic that mueller determined no collusion, now they're doggedly determined to destroy anybody who dares to tell the truth about the russia hoax. i feel badly for barr, barr is telling the truth, look up in the oxford dictionary spyingi s secretly collecting information, it can be legal,

it can be illegal, human observation, listening devices, electronic communications, photographs, video, all of that is spying. we have the warrant application. james comey signed off to it. comey takes the cake, the pompous, pretentious, vainglorious comey when he says i don't know what he is talking about when he talks about spying on the campaign. it reminds me of the time comey said to come i don't know what that were deleting means. >> dan: he also said it was court ordered, as if he had nothing to do with it. as if they kick down his door and said you must fight. so ridiculous. congressman, i'll go to you, next. what i find fascinating about the euphemism game of spy versus surveillance versus informant, sean dave interest at "the federalist" has an excellent tweet thread, with them calling everything under the sun spying. everything was spying. he has the actual headline. it is funny that your

democratic colleagues are the word police on spying. >> well, everyone watching can certainly google the synonym for surveillance, and it is spying. from brennan, clapper, comey their allegations of possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia resulted in surveillance and that is spying.bl i think it's important that attorney general barrhi said he'll look at the genesis of this investigation and whether or not things were improper. as we know from what has has been made public, hillary clinton paid, democratic national committee paid opposition research that was placed into the fisa court to p get warrants to undertake surveillance which is spying. >> dan: sydney, you are a former federal prosecutor, you are familiar with the law and how it works. serious question, are we mischaracterizing the use of a fisa warrant, foreign

intelligence surveillance courn warrant, to access people's data, phone, text, e-mail, also the use of a human intelligence asset, three people, two we know were working in conjunction with them, we don't know about clovis. are we mischaracterizing this in your experience as prosecutor? >> oh, no, dan, we're not mischaracterizing it. the democrats will continue to unravel because this is the first time they faced any measure of accountability in decades for their egregious abuse of power and this entire fraud on the american people o on top of that it goes back further than the fisa warrants. we must remember the decision of rosemary collier, the chief judge the fisa court, who has found that comey gave illegal access to the raw database to three private contractors as early as 2015. i would bet money one of those

was fusion gps on nellie ohr, working with brennan and strzok. when and where do you think this started. >> dan: what you said, for everyone out there to view, if you doubt any word that she's saying, april of 2017, that fisa court review, that indicates that access to private contractors is out there for everyoneha to look a. gregg, i think, some was redacted but you can check it out. the next shoe to drop on this is the mueller probe. at the big question that's getting left out of everybody's conversation on this, when did mueller do exactly that collusion was a hoax? you and i knew two years ago. so did any rational, sentient being. what was he doing for 675 do days. >> according to the president's lawyer, john dowd, he20 knew as early as december of 2017, which is about 7 or 8 moms after mueller was appointed special counsel. he certainly knew a year ago from today.

so why the american public had to go through this agonizing investigation that to some extent debilitated and deterred the president's efforts to advance policy decisions, why mueller sat on at least that part of it, no collusion part, he's really bewildering and confoundingss. it was commissioned by hillary clinton, the dossier, what it's all about. and it was advanced by two nefarious characters, christopher steele and glenn simpson. steele was fired for lying and he's gone into hiding. simpson invoked the fifth amendment and has clammed up. it is a crime, really that, our nation and a presidency was held hostage by two individuals who conjured out of thin air a lie. >> dan: and he hires andrew weissmann, mueller, who's

briefed in 2016 about the dossier. he knows the entire time. congressman, is congress going to push this, jim jordan, mark meadows and the good congressmen and women going to make sure justice is served in this case? >> absolutely. even congresswoman least a phonic has got a bill that would make what comey did inappropriate under the law, where he said he didn't follow the rules, didn't follow protocol that would require they notify congress. but the one thing that we know is that the mueller report found no collusion, than there certainly wasn't any collusion when brennan and comey and clapper were looking at it and they run all over the cable news saying that they are themselves saw evidence of collusion. and it's absolutely not correct. >> dan: sydney, thank you to all of you for joining me. president trump responded to congresswoman omar's shameful comments on 9/11. will play the tape. we'll have a reaction.

history of our country, up there can pearl u harbor and ms murder on our soil, the imagery fresh in the minds of many. is there a more insensitive way to describe it than she did and at what point do you acknowledge it was horrendously worded and move on. >> it is an attempt to completely erase the reality of what occurred. to diminish it. what he did is that shocked. her comments shocked the conscience of everyone, for the most part, right? it was a shocking statement. it is unconscionable. and for me, and i want women in power, but what that requires is taking responsibility, owning your positions, owning what you say as opposed to deflecting. and then blaming other a peopl. that is what children do. and i fight against all the time, as we all do, the efforts to infantalize women, especially women of color, representative omar seems to be infantalizing herself.

the refusal to take responsibility, to in fact demand other democrats take this approach in her dismissal of that. that speaks to her belief.ap and i think we should take her seriously, absolutely. and she should take seriously that she shocked the conscience of this nation and if everyone in the western world who knows what that attack was and what it has led to. w so this is her responsibility. and of course in the process, the democrats, have to deal with what this means as well. and they're going to have to decide who they have become and americans certainly the democratic party base,de is gog to have to decide if this represents them and if it is appropriate if they accept it. >> dan: congressman, i'm stunned, the lesson of the mid-term elections i thought for the democrats, they were being reasonable, is that moderate candidates, connor lamb types, performed well in swingy type districts. do they really want to run in the house of representatives on re-election on ilhan omar's comments?

congressmen, as you well know, the congresswoman has a history of making comments that are openly anti-semitic, and refusing to back down. this cannot possibly be of any political advantage for the democrats in these upcoming elections. >> but instead of speakers. pelosi leading the radical left she's being led by it. if she knows better, if she wants to stay as speaker, she wouldn't be elevating and empowering and embracing the anti-semitism, the pro bds, anti-israel hate by putting her on the house foreign affairs committee. this is some one who requested leniency for isis fighters,eq blamed u.s. foreign policy forn the al shabab attacks. as we're talking about the latest comments made this week, by the way every single day this week there were new comments. this is just another week. they started off with just another monday. what happened this morning from omar, you can call it the mother of all false

equivalencies, trying to tie in president bush's speech he gave with the firefighters. they need to be held accountable. and by the way, rashida tlaib, he played a clip of her, remember what shehe set on opening day. when congress started coming when she said impeach the dash i'm not going to repeat it on air. and comparing the president to hitler. she needs to police her own. she's going to be held accountable. hopefully for the sake of our country not speaker come january 2021. >> and remember, also, there's a videotape, and this is not even about disagreements really on policy. this is very bizarre at this point that should concern us, including a videotape of her mocking the american reaction to the nameseo of alqaeda and hamas. >> dan: i saw that. at one point laughing. >> laughing about it. this is very, very strange. we can agree to disagree on tactics and how we reach our policy positions. but representative

ocasio-cortez also defending when there clearly is a very disturbing aspect to this, and i think, especially for the districts that they represent, those people and those districtsal deserve genuine representation that is serious. and these women, i should-- should be answerable to the constituencies and i hope the individuals there should have alternatives to be able to vote for somebody else. remember, with connor lamb, he did not have a primary opponent during the mid-terms. that is why he was able, i think, to move through. when you have got individuals who have opponents then i think some of the truth of what they represent eventually comes out. >> dan: congressman, this new, you're inciting violence line, alexandria ocasio-cortez jumps to her defense, is becoming the new "you're a racist" the

democrats don't mean it it'ss just meant to suppress speech and shut down conversation. little i find this really objectionable, when we make substantive comments about ridiculous absurdities like the omar said, they jump down our throats, we're inciting violence while the left is engaging in violence on collego campuses and saying nothing in many cases. >> right, dan, where we make no reference to race, religion, or gender well call us racist, sexist, islamophobic. we're having a problem with the double standards. if omar were a republican we would be naming names, bolted out of the foreign relations committee. that resolution would have been focused on anti-semitism. the double standards, moral equivalency, holdal the leadership accountable. if i wanted to raise everyone's taxes, the house republican steering committee wouldn't put me the ways and means committee. if i wanted to undercut the

>> i can't imagine. as you know, you have sat in the room with so many perpetrators, i can't imagine anyone isn't begging her to take the plea.ra felicity huffman, took the plea. she admitted the guilt, she said, i'm sorry, i apologize to students who my children took the place of. i mean, she has been very gracious in light of the fact accepting the guilty plea, accepting beingus guilty. in this case, i don't know what is happening. there's wire evidence, there's information, there's recordings, recordings of her sending money, there's information of her sending the money to, you know, the charity, the hoax charity. i mean, this is very clear cut from what we understand. there's not really any coming to an innocent verdict from a court of law. it's not going to happen. >> dan: i don't get it. mark, i don't get it, given your legal expertise and your experience at trial, i know you've probably had clients who thought they knew better than

you and finally you talk sense into them. do you have any explanation, everybody is innocent until proven guilty, i understand it's allegations. but the allegation are serious. publicly released evidence is pretty overwhelming.er am i missing something here? >> i'm going to sayy that her lawyers are hopefully advising her correctly but she lives in an ulterior universe one that causes this type of activity, allegedly. i come if i was representing her, would go to the closest foot locker, get the best pair aiof running shoes, and have her run to the prosecutor's office, begging for some type of resolution short of another indictment, which he is now facing, because she failed to run to the government's office and begged for leniency. >> dan: mark, you know prosecutors are human beings like everyone else. they must know, at this point, they must see this as being spiteful. i'm not adjusting anyone is acting unethically unethicallye

evidence is overwhelming something happened here. >> and they also see, by the way, they see the footage on tv of her not walking into court, but her signing autographs, waving like she's on the cat walk, smiling and taking it all in. it was the worst p.r. i've ever seen. i don't get it. >> dan: darryl, your opinion, thedan: darryl, your opinion, innocent until proven guilty, we get it. t but i think this case is fascinating, a lot of people know aunt becky from "full house" but what possible motive would she have for holding out, ignorance of the federal judicial system? what advice would you give to her? >> well, without question she didn't serve herself well, she should have plead early in the case. her delay, given the reason she gave for the delay really weren't well served for her. i agree whole-heartedly, shehe needs to get this resolved with the federal prosecutors asap in massachusetts.s >> dan: on the jussie smollett

case, this is s another puzzling one for me. again, an overwhelming amount of evidence that he was not attacked, with maga hat wearing, bleach carriers coming from the subway. the loss and coming out publicly and getting good legal advice, this might be the bad legal advice segment, what does he do? he comes out and doubles down and he threatens them, the prosecutor and everyone else, for defaming him. am i missing something, is in another case of horrible vision? >> clearly, no attorney would possibly advise jussie to do any of this, to say any of this. any attorney, with any law school experience, and legal experience, could be out one year, please, jussie, gogo quietly into the night. thank them all very much, and keep moving. now, today, we have the head prosecutor saying she welcomes an inspector and a report for investigating her prosecution. okay, let's see what happens now. because now the drama continues.

now, it's not only jussie being difficult, it's the police department being out a lot of money, over $100,000. this is, i mean-- >> dan: quickly, any chance this $130,000-- mark, ten seconds, any chance that the city gets this $130,000 back, i'll take you and darryl quick. >> yes, without question they should get their money. >> yes. >> dan: we'll see. thanks, guys.ir appreciate it. we'll be right back with final thoughts on "hannity" special.

metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i'm relentless too. mbc doesn't take a day off, and neither will i. and i treat my mbc with everyday verzenio- the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. in fact, verzenio is a cdk4 & 6 inhibitor for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer, approved, with hormonal therapy, as an everyday treatment for a relentless disease. verzenio + an ai is proven to help women have significantly more time without disease progression, and more than half of women saw their tumors shrink vs an ai.

diarrhea is common, may be severe, and may cause dehydration or infection. before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. serious liver problems can occur. symptoms may include tiredness, loss of appetite, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising more easily than normal. blood clots that can lead to death have also occurred. talk to your doctor right away if you notice pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain or rapid breathing or heart rate. tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant. common side effects include nausea, infections, low red and white blood cells and platelets, decreased appetite, headache, abdominal pain, tiredness, vomiting, and hair thinning or loss. i'm relentless. and my doctor and i choose to treat my metastatic breast cancer with verzenio. be relentless. ask your doctor about everyday verzenio. omar, check this out. uh, yeah, i was calling to see if you do laser hair removal.
