it is sworn enemy of flying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. dvr it if you can figure out how that works. good luck. send us an email if you do. have a great evening. sean hannity, live from new york city right now. >> great show, tucker, as usual. buckle up, welcome to hannity. major win for the united states, the tough negotiation with mexico, oh, they paid off a massive big way. the president wins, mexico agreed to stay on the flow of migration with new border policies and 6,000 national guard troops. and president trump, yeah, he had mexico buckle to their knees. without the help of any republicans in the mainstream media. oh, what happens? we will have a trade war. all right, the president won and stood strong. and we are better off for it.

justice of the united states. in a letter obtained by fox news, the assistant attorney general stephen boyd explains that the investigation into the origins of the russia witch hunt is, quote, broad in scope and will cover, quote, activities of u.s. and foreign intelligence services as well as nongovernmental organizations and individuals. this is significant confirmation that the investigation of the investigators has not and has never been in vain. facts, truth, justice. as we have told you, about to cascade down on all of these deep state bad actors. those that abuse power. we will have a lot more in the course of the hour and more in a moment. but will be focused on holding the government accountable on capitol hill, well, you have jerry nadler circus and clown show in full gear. and today the democratic chairman of the house judiciary committee, literally jumped the shark. instead of passing laws or performing responsible

oversight, nadler instead, well, he invited o'fallon, the known perjurer, liar, john dean to testify. yes, the john dean, the fill in turn partisan hack, fake new cnn conspiracy theorist. he was a big star witness today. but you might remember john dean was once the white house cancel under richard nixon where he was known as the master manipulator of the watergate cover-up. he was accused of lying a whopping 19 times to federal prosecutors. i think that he forgot that there were tapes. and of course obstructing justice. john dean is a convicted felon, he was disbarred many times ago for "being unethical, unprofessional, and unwarranted conduct." disbarred too, perfect guy for fake news cnn. liar, fake news. now the felon rakes in a lot of cash, trashing donald trump daily for the mainstream lying media mob. and the cd track record with

lying, he fits right in there. naturally of course, jerry nadler was happy to give the known liar, convicted felon another platform. let's take a look at the circus. >> the last time i appeared before the committee was july 11, 1974. during the impeachment inquiry of richard nixon. in many ways, the mueller report is to president trump what the so-called watergate road map officially tied over the grand jury report and recommendation concerning transmission of evidence to the house of representatives. was to president richard nixon. stating it a little bit differently, special counsel mueller has provided this committee with a road map. >> sean: convicted felon known liar, comparing a republican president to richard nixon. this is how he now makes a living. it is nothing new for the disgrace cnn fake news mouthpiece. in fact, a few years ago dean wrote a book calling for the impeachment of oh, george w. bush.

in that book was entitled "worse than watergate." it is a line he uses over and over again and is doing the same thing. before dean was getting paid by cnn to trash donald trump, well, he was doing the exact same thing to a former president bush. he has a broken record, play the loop. take a look. >> i have really never seen as secret a presidency as we now have. >> i think that they found an old playbook down in the basement that belong to richard nixon and they said that it looks like it works. >> be specific with me, what is worse than watergate? >> if there is anything to really hit the bottom line, it is taking a nation to war any time when they might not have had to go to war. i would not use the title "worse than watergate" if i did not truly believe what is happening in the presidency is far worse than anything that happened in the nixon presidency. >> sean: worse than watergate,

worse than watergate. he gets paid for regurgitating the same stupid line over and over again as a convicted felon and a known liar. and john dean has been used as a prop by the mainstream media mob in the democratic party for years. today's hearing was a sham, a circus. a democratic propaganda, paid for by you, the american people. earlier congressman matt gaetz had this to say ted nadler star witness. pretty big take down, let's look. >> do you have knowledge of the falsity of a single material fact in the mueller report? >> i think the first thing i said was i am not here is a fact witness. >> you accuse presidents of acting like richard nixon and you make money. >> not all presidents. >> here we sit with the ghost of christmas past, because the chairman of the committee has gone to the speaker the house and sought permission to open an impeachment inquiry. and she has said no. you are functionally here as a prop, because they cannot impeach president trump.

because 70% of democrats want something that 60% of americans don't. >> sean: checkmate, and congressman gaetz was one of many republicans who called out dean and his self-serving abusively biased testimony. it did i mention that he was a felon? any obstructed justice? take a look. >> the corrupt cobol of page, mccabe, comey and others, i believe that they have the godfather here. >> now we have john dean, 45 years ago went to pleading guilty of obstruction of justice, now coming into enlightened the judiciary committee on obstruction of justice when we could be going right to the start of how this whole thing started. >> we are not just talking about your credibility as a witness. you are a biased witness as well. you spent the last 45 years trying to rehabilitate yourself. and i don't blame you. and you have written numerous books. you have claimed multiple republican administrations as being worse than watergate. >> now mr. dean, i have no

problem with you having an opinion. you pay your debt to society. you have made your opinion clear. in the last two years did you know that you sent 970 tweets about donald trump. all 970 tweets about donald trump are anti-donald trump. >> sean: did i mention that he was a liar, obstruction of justice and a felon? and his testimony smacks the democratic desperation. the house democrats want to impeach president trump over a hoax, no collusion, no conspiracy, no obstruction. he is not a fact witness. and recommending no charges paid to the general, deputy attorney general. presented no indictments in a nothing to do with department of justice policy or any constitutional issue. as oh, even mueller said. compare that to the independent counsel ken starr who will join us in a moment. following his 1998 investigation into then-president bill clinton, ken starr detailed 11 specific felonies where he could be impeached. but lost his law license and was impeached.

but back then jerry nadler and his fellow democrats pushed hard. they did not want the starr report released to the public. wow, what a different jerry nadler he was back in the day. let's take a look. >> the staff of the judiciary committee, perhaps the chairman and ranking argument members of the committee will have to go over this material. at least the four or 500 pages in the report to determine what is fit for a release, and what is decency and protecting people's privacy rights. maybe third parties that should not be released at all. >> sean: so it is nadler's circus, no shame, a political hack missing your money. and what has to be one -- becoming one of the most epic flip-flops in american political history. only a few weeks ago, now they are actually threatening the attorney general of the united states. attorney general barr with attempt by congress.

not for declassifying, just two full and partial lines of the mueller report. everything was released on obstruction, the section that was redacted was because the law demands it. it had grand jury material. he was asking the attorney general to commit a crime and reveal grand jury material. he literally wanted america's top law enforcement to break the law or hold him in contempt. at this from a guy who desperately tried to keep the starr report hidden from you, we, the american people. without a doubt that is hypocrisy on steroids and human growth hormone. i wonder how long this is going to last, but the trump administration, they are done. they are not going to participate in his political circus which is the right decision. for years the white house cooperated fully with multiple investigations. we had the fbi 9-month investigation. no collusion. house until investigation, no collusion. bipartisan probe in the senate,

no collusion. mueller's 22-month witch hunt. no collusion. no obstruction. and during the year long process, not one time, not a single moment of the trump white house ever exert executive privilege. not once. the president encouraged every person in the white house in his administration to participate fully, and they did. they handed over 1.5 million documents to the special counsel and the white house attorney even don mcgann was interviewed by a mueller for 30 hours which to me is insanity. the president answered mueller's questions himself. now it is all over, no collusion, and the president will not allow democrats to literally drag americans through this process yet again for what would be a fifth investigation. and that's why the president is now rightly saying enough is enough. exerting executive privilege pit house democrats, they are not going to have the ability to relitigate the russia probe for a fifth time.

it is no abuse of power, and the newly elected president, more importantly, people that were for the president trying to serve their country should not have to shell out tens and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees answering the same questions over and over and over again. and literally sit for a perjury trap. witnesses and documents, forget it. it is done. that will not be made available. this is the right decision from the president. the vast powers of our government should never be used two oppressed americans. and harass a sitting president, and cost the american taxpayers what is now a fifth investigation into the same topic. and by the way, president trump is not the first president to invoke executive privilege. although he did not do it with mueller. former president clinton did it a whopping 14 times. meanwhile, obama successfully utilized executive privilege blocking the request of document

surrounding, remember fast and furious, the gunrunning scandal. an american died as a result of that stupid policy. and the fast and furious program. obama also tried to withhold document surrounding the failed solyndra project, and benghazi in the attack there. he tried, but he turned them over. he was forced to. i have some advice for nadler, schiff and all of the democrats abusing their power against the president of the united states. the american people are smart. they will not support your impeachment. and by the way, they are sick and tired of your lives, your conspiracy theories and or phony russia hoax. if you continue down this road, which i highly encourage you to do, you will pay at the ballot box and will guarantee a trump landslide in 2020. joining us now, former independent counsel, ken starr, and we will get back to the monologue in a moment. gregg jarrett, good to see you too. ken starr, you are under a different statute, that was the independent counsel statute.

you had an obligation to testify in an obligation to release all of this information, did you not? >> i did, the statute is absolutely clear. we were to report to the house of representatives when we found credible information that an impeachable offense may have been committed. and did we find lots of evidence. >> sean: how many specific felonies? my memory of it serves me right was 11? >> we had 11 counts in our impeachment report to congress, and it began, sean, with perjury in the case. but this was what was really serious, the obstruction of justice. obstruction of justice is being thrown around, but as you know, a judge failed president clinton in contempt not just for his perjury, but for obstruction of justice. >> sean: we hear a lot about obstruction of justice.

as robert mueller himself was clear, and he needed a little bit of time to let say correct to the record from what he previously said after his nine and a half minute debacle last week. and he got the help of the attorney general, frankly, who threw him a lifeline. but putting that aside for a minute, how many more times did they get to investigate the president over one issue? how many more people that work in the white house will have to pay $800 or $1,000 an hour to ask the same question over and over again? this is now the fifth investigation and the topic, am i right? >> you are absolutely right, and it is going to continue if the president wins reelection, it will continue for another three years, this will go on ad nauseam him. and because mueller decided he was not going to do his job on the issue of obstruction. there is nothing about the olc opinion that would have prevented him from rendering as judge starr said, and opinion of offense is committed.

the olc only talks about prosecution and charging, but mueller would not do it. and he managed to write around the circumvents, the two u.s. supreme court decisions that say that statutes do not apply to a president exercising their constitutional authority and obstruction is a general statute. unless it said so. look at the obstruction statutes. they don't say so. and mueller knew that, but he could not bring himself to say that the law does not support obstruction of justice. so he tried to write this road map for impeachment hoping that the democrats in the media would pick up the mantle, and of course they have. >> sean: let me ask you both, ken starr i will start with you, this letter from stephen boyd to larry nadler, looking at review underway by the department of justice and the certain activities involving the campaign. and it goes on to say the review

is broad in scope. it is multifaceted. it is intended to illuminate open questions regarding the activities of u.s. foreign officials as well as nongovernment organizations and individuals. i take this letter to be a wide-open notice to everybody that all abuse of power, any corruption that has taken place in the course of these events is going to be discovered and every rock is going to be looked under, and they will get to the truth, whether or not people abused power. how do you interpret it? >> it is very good news, confirmation that we will get the truth. and here is a key dimension of that, sean, this investigation is being conducted by professionals. by john durham, the united states attorney. by others in the u.s. attorney's office and the department of

justice professionals. there is not some outsider, bob mueller being brought in, you are now counsel, what the bill barr has done is that we are using the resources of the justice department and he has also made a very clear that he is getting cooperation from the intelligence agencies. by the way, including it appears foreign agencies. so i think that we should be very optimistic that at long last we will know the truth. >> sean: we saw what happen with a couple of italian intel people, gregg jarrett, how do you interpret this letter? >> well, what struck me was it is a nongovernmental. that means people like glenn simpson, fusion gps, nellie ohr at that same company, it also means the democratic national committee and the hillary clinton campaign, who were involved in paying for the phony dossier that was used as a pretext amongst the investigation as well as lying to the fisa court to spy on a trump campaign associate. this is very broad, it is for encompassing, and it looks like john durham and his team of investigators will be looking at

all matters of potential corruption seriously. >> sean: think you both, ken starr, gregg jarrett. tonight we have even more big breaking developments surrounding the deep state including a new report shedding light on how robert mueller was able to exploit gps tracking information to spy on trump associates raising even more questions about the extent of surveillance of team trump. especially as carter page reveals that the fbi informants stefan halper was intensifying communications just before the fbi obtained the secret warrant to spy on him. now the good news is that we are inching closer and closer to holding those that abuse their power accountable. the ig report, the durham review, tonight's letter, gang of eight material, exculpatory materials that were withheld. that is the avalanche of truth that will come cascading down. it is not a question of if any longer. it is now a matter of one. especially after the president's declassification. you're with reaction, carter page along with fox news

contributor sara carter. i want to get to you on this letter, but first carter page, the use of tracking devices. the intensity just before the first fisa application, and we must remind people, before that first fisa application to spy on you, and you wear the backdoor to all things trump campaign. trump transition, trump presidency. all of this intensified activity was going on with halper including that you were being tracked. tell us about it. >> sean, to me the bigger questions, i was actually so happy to have the chance to talk to professor halper who i thought was acting as a cambridge professor from the u.k. we had a number of meetings in virginia and the district of columbia. but down in washington. and i was really, you know, when all of these fake news stories started, i was pushing to try to get the restart of my life

et cetera. and he was one of the few people that would talk to me. and actually, a lot of the trump team members, we had to basically go underground. and staying in touch with people, very limited communications. mr. halper was offering to be very helpful, et cetera. >> sean: i want to make this clear, for a long time you cannot answer this question, now you can. you were an intelligence asset working for the united states of america, and you regularly provided information to all of our intelligence agencies as a person that loved his country, is that true, sir? >> that is absolutely true, and this is why you don't like pointing a finger at professor halper. i know that there are a lot of reports, so far fbi and the u.s. government has not officially acknowledged anything. to me -- >> sean: did your government

pay you for your work? >> i was actually a volunteer, i guess that is the main difference. >> sean: were debriefed, you told him the truth? they knew that they could count on you? they often counted on you? they asked you to do specific tasks, you would do them, you will report back, correct? >> i would share information with them. >> sean: sara carter, the doj letter, your reaction to that and what this means. >> this is incredible, sean, because what he is saying is that it is a broad scope investigation. which means that they are not going to limit it to anyone thing. just as gregg jarrett said, ken starr said, they will look at everything. that means hillary clinton's campaign, and the national committee, all of the people that were involved including stefan halper, the italian government, and right now the italians are actually conducting their own investigation into how they were utilized during the campaign. it is very significant as well.

>> sean: our belief is italy, great britain, and australia, those three countries are scared to death right now, because we had our top intelligence officials, correct me if i am wrong, possibly outsourced intelligence gathering that would be illegal for them to perform, they did it for them and they got the information back door, is that what we are saying? >> bingo. one of the things that i've been hearing from a lot of intelligent sources that have focused specifically on great britain, and remember early on they were saying that the british were very nervous that some of them had suggested that they had been used in order to assist with this investigation. now, it is very difficult to prove these things. this is significantly and highly classified. >> sean: there has to be a trail somewhere. >> there is a trail and it will be exposed, because the british are obviously going to give everything they can to this investigation. they are not going to try to keep this from the trump administration or attorney general william barr, because

they want a good relationship with the united states. but there is something significant that carter page talked about. and that was how stefan halper really work him. really worked hard in that september. he did the same thing with svetlana, the russian gal that was involved in all of this salacious stories that is now suing. that will tell us how early it began. >> sean: no bombshell after carter page. that only happened to popodopulous. i feel sorry for you, carter, if you are going to be in a novel, you should get one of the bigger roles, but it is sad what they did to you. i'm not making light of it. revelation and the hillary clinton email case, you will not believe what a new document shows, but hillary is saying that trump obstructed justice. wrong. straight-ahead.

[ sitar music playing ]

chloe, why is there a lamp shade on your head? shhh. my owner might have given me a little bit of cat nip. uh. [ laughing ] it's great, listen. it is great, gidget. everything is grand. [ meow ] [ purring ] [ growl ] are you finished? [ cooing ] that was weird. oh sister it's gonna get way weirder.

>> sean: tonight we have big breaking news surrounding the biased and botched investigation into hillary clinton, because we now have the most damning evidence yet that clinton's private server was in fact compromise. something we have known and something that we believe that was put on the exoneration, but new documents, released by the fbi, summarizing and independent review of the server, and it is "penetration" by the notorious hacker. going back as far as 2009, that's not all. one clinton file was later discovered on the so-called dark web. prompting concerns that read "if it is determined by the fbi that this file ever was overtly classified, it will serve as a potential smoking gun document." clinton server was in fact a security threat. she without a doubt put national security at risk. we know that she obstructed justice. ask yourself, why are we just hearing about it now? why was this held from the public for so long. now course years later, hillary

has not come to terms with her election loss and is still out there smearing a president. and getting his actual talking about danger of attacking the rule of law. you just cannot make this up. but this is all part of the circus that exists with all things clinton. >> the first is that russia conducted a sweeping and systemic interference in our election. the second is that obstruction of justice occurred. you cannot read the report chapter and verse fact after fact without reaching those conclusions. there is nothing normal about undermining the rule of law. there is nothing normal about attacking the press. there is nothing normal about trying to undermine another

branch of government, there is nothing normal about trying to use the legal system to go after your political enemies, there is nothing normal about any of that. >> sean: nothing normal about putting tough classified information on a secret server at a mom-and-pop shop bathroom closet and deleting 33,000 subpoenaed emails and bleach bit your server, and hammering blackberries, and iphones and destroying same cards and deleting subpoenaed emails. and what about bought and paid for russian lies that were used to steal an election. how can any one person be that out of touch and frankly so delusional. joining us now with reaction is author of the new book "swamp wars" florida attorney general pam bondi, we have an underlying crime, that is the espionage act. it is illegal.

you cannot put that information on a secret server. she did. even comey admitted it. what was the intent behind the obstruction? bleach bit, everything else in between? it was to eliminate the evidence. she did that too. that would be the real obstruction. now, how come jerry nadler never talks about that. >> of course he does not, because we know it hillary clinton did. and shout out to judicial watch for uncovering sadly that her server was hacked. according to judicial watch. we all knew it. i mean, she saw her basement server, thought it was going to be secured, that is unbelievable, she put her own political interests ahead of those of the american people. and that is so sad, sean, because it jeopardized national security, and that's what judicial watch uncovered. that's what you have known for a very long time. but now they have been able to prove it. >> sean: and you talk about the swamp in the sewer, this is

the single biggest slam-dunk obstruction case ever that i can remember. it's in the same time frame, the same election. mack, and that site never talks about it. but yet they act so sanctimonious and self-righteous when there is no underlying crime with the president, and the president loudly complaining about mueller is in no way being up strewed as a obstruction, because he could've fired him underpowered 2 and it would've been legal. >> when she says that no one is above the law, which he means is no one is above the law except for hillary clinton. i want to say something about, you played some excerpts from her speech at wellesley where she talked about how it is terrible to go after the press. i write for the american spectator, the clinton administration set the justice department on the spectator

because they did not like their investigative reporting into bill clinton and his various activities. and she also referenced her time on the impeachment committee there for richard nixon. and how proud she was of it. while, her boss did not like her. and i want to read a sentence about her. why didn't he like her, and he said, because she was a liar. she was an unethical distant honest lawyer. she conspired to violate the constitution, the rules of the house, rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality. and she has the chops to go on and talk about donald trump, her sense of projection is truly amazing. >> sean: you know, pam, if you look at the doj letter that i mentioned earlier, stephen boyd today and where this is now going, i think when we get to the bottom and the origins of all of this, it all roads, all points in clinton's direction herself. that they use multiple sources to feed different fbi people and the idea of creating a notion and impression that was false from the get-go, and actually encouraged and used the intel committee to do the dirty work. >> sean, from day one, this is

what you have said you believed, and now we have a real attorney general in bill barr who is not going to let this drop. because the american people deserve to know the truth and deserve to have her not in a higher office once again, her campaign created the fake dossier as we all know. she attempted the worst coup of a president-elect in the history of our country, i believe. and thank goodness, she failed miserably. and now i believe she is going to be held accountable. >> sean: that has to happen, if we have justice, equal application of our laws, if we want to remain a constitutional republic, all roads must be pursued. congrats on the new book. great book. when we come back, lara trump will be here next, and discussing joe biden latest

wonders, california falling apart, but they will offer illegal immigrants free health care. you can't make it up. they will pay for it. house minority leader kevin mccarthy will be here as we continue on this busy breaking news night. stay with us.

h >> sean: just like we have been telling you, well, sleepy creepy crazy joe biden is going to say and do anything to appease the new extreme democratic party and their base, just last week he reversed his decades long stance on the hyde amendment that restricts the federal funding of abortion. but the democratic strategy may be backfiring, because some democrats, members of the media mob are starting to call him out. oh, no, poor uncle joe.

>> if we have a campaign where the theme is let's go back to normal, then i think -- >> you are suggesting that biden would do that. >> i'm not going to talk to anybody else's campaign. >> yes, you are. this is an indirect shot at biden. >> i hope that joe biden rethinks his stance on this issue, perhaps he does not understand who the hyde amendment hurts most. >> is it wrong? >> yes, he needs to figure out how to tell people where he stands on this, and not forget the part that makes biden, biden, where he puts his heart into the issue. we have not heard that. we have just seen a weird flip-flop. that is unusual. >> when this has been an issue in the past, how, how, call it a style issue, this is a leadership issue, it is a confidence issue, it is a leadership and confidence issue, you can't do this stuff. you do it in our business, you get fired. >> sean: and worse for sleepy creepy crazy uncle joe, because he is losing ground in an iowa poll, facing a pretty heavy

surge from even elizabeth warren and mayor of good old pete buttigieg as he tries to tout his relationship with obama, sending a tweet showing a cute little friendship bracelet, whatever that is with the words joe and barack prompting mockery from the media, and here now with reaction, senior advisor for 2020, lara trump, what is the friendship thing? what is that? >> lesson, apparently it was best friends day. but it is interesting that joe biden would tweet this, because dignity say that he did not want barack obama's endorsement for his presidential run? >> sean: yeah, right. >> it is very confusing. but i think that we are seeing that the gloves are coming off on the democrat side, and this is why everyone is really excited to see what these democratic debates hold for the democrats, who knows what they will say, they will attack each other bread i've always said that we should just sit back and let them go at it.

and then we will see who we have to run against in 2020, but it has been interesting to watch. >> sean: i cannot predict today. i cannot predict how it will turn out, watching the firing squad is enjoyable, but i think the even bigger news is what happened earlier. and that is attorney general made it very clear in the senate hearings, and the follow-up letter today by the deputy attorney general makes it clear yet again that i will go through the words of this, because it is very clear that they are now reviewing and that they are going to do a comprehensive review, a broad in scope, multifaceted review that is intended to illuminate the open questions regarding all of what has gone on as it relates to the russian investigation, that means the nefarious intelligence actions, that means the unmasking of 350% increase in

2016, that means yes, hillary probably is now in big trouble as is comey and strzok and page and baker and mccabe and a whole host of other deep state characters. >> it is about time, sean, the american people should be breathing a sigh of relief that this is happening. donald trump said that he never wanted to see something like this happen to another president. democrat or republican. all-american should feel that way. we have to get to the bottom of how this all started and the players with in this crazy mass that said it all up and the people that gave him the go-ahead on so many things that have put our country, quite frankly through hell for two years with this investigation, ruining people's lives, listen, not everybody can afford to get a great lawyer and defend yourself against something that you did not do, unfortunately people have gone bankrupt because of this. good people who did nothing wrong.

we have to get to the bottom of it. and every american should be very happy to hear that this is happening. >> sean: we have had four investigations, they have all made the same conclusion, and the president never asserted executive privilege. he cooperated fully, everybody in the white house was encouraged to speak to the special counsel, congressional committees. four separate conclusions, how many more times do you get to go back to the well and force people that are trying to serve the president and the president's agenda forced on the higher attorneys, did not make any money to begin with, really, and then have to answer the same exact questions, but god forbid they get one question a little bit off from the way that they answered it two years ago, now they are sitting on a perjury trap potential criminal referral, and possible indictment over nothing. >> yes, but you have to understand why this is happening, sean. it is happening because the democrats know that this president has far exceeded everybody's expectations in this

country. even people that voted for donald trump in 2016 did not think that he would get so much accomplished in 2.5 years. they know that he is going to be nearly impossible to beat at the campaign. we think that he will be impossible to beat in 2020. so the only hand they have to play is to try to find something somewhere that maybe they missed the first four times to your point, and they will not find it, because donald trump did not do anything wrong. the campaign did not do anything wrong. it has been proven time and time again, but this is why this is happening. because i think that they will do some jazz hands and we will all ignore all the great things that have happened in this country under the president. >> sean: what is happening in orlando, next week besides disney and space mountain? >> we have a very exciting announcement in orlando on tuesday the president will be there, the vice president, the first lady, second lady, the family. >> sean: how, i do not have an invitation? >> you are always welcome. come on down. >> sean: i get the come on down invitation.

>> you're always welcome. >> sean: all right, thank you, lara trump. we appreciate it. anyway, we have a full-fledged border crisis, but don't worry, california, they want to give away free health care. sanctuary cities they are, the sanctuary state, now they want free health care to illegal immigrants. who will pay for it? and kevin mccarthy will be here to discuss that, and the bigger problems in the golden state, and the president's showdown with mexico, he won out right, why other republicans are so weak, the very important question to have answered, straight-ahead.

>> sean: california now in turmoil as a result of far left policies at a local government

implementing come of the state of california releasing the 2020 budget late last night with full health coverage to illegal immigrants, setting taxpayers back $100 million per year. the "los angeles times" is reporting "16,000 people in l.a. now live in cars and vans and rvs." all of this as a president takes matters of the immigration and humanitarian crisis into his own hands, inking a deal with mexico. tackling the issue with no help from congress for the most part. joining us with reaction, kevin mccarthy. what is it about republicans? the president did not want a trade war, did not want tariffs on mexico, but he rightly is saying, do your job and stop allowing these caravans to come through, or else there will be consequences. all republicans needed to do was say we support the president. that's it, and even without it they still capitulated. >> you did not see that in the house at all, you saw 100%.

he went to back the president going into that debate. that is how the president was able to come out with a great agreement. we need to support the president in this. because i am from california. the democrat socialist policies are lowering the value of californians. we are rampant when it comes to homelessness, because of the unaffordability throughout california. but now what is california doing? they will tax american citizens that can't afford health care or refuse to pay for it, tax them to pay for illegals to have health care. it is going to drive more illegals across the border. and just last month there were 144,000 people apprehended. those are just the individuals we caught. we will have more than 1 million people this year illegally crossing this border. that is twice the size of the population of the capital of california sacramento. this is what is going wrong. the socialist policy -- >> sean: $100 million, state income tax, correct me if i am

wrong is what? 13.5 percent in your state? >> yes, the highest in the country, and what will happen here, think about this, san francisco spent a quarter of a million dollars registering to vote illegals in the election. these are the socialist policies that are trying to move through congress with this new socialist democrat party. that is why i am so afraid about this. because we have found that their policies lowered the value of everyone, make us all poor. >> sean: how is it possible that we have federal immigration laws, and that you have sanctuary cities, and your state is a sanctuary state that literally aid and abet lawbreaking. help me out with that. i am having a hard time understanding a government, a state government, assisting in that. >> it is going against federal law, we have a responsibility to protect our border. everybody in america, even mexico understands that there is a crisis at this border. even "the new york times" wrote

today that their second editorial, they told congress to stop squabbling and solve the problem. but what did the judiciary committee do today? they brought an ex-felon in that wants to focus and lie about the president even though he has the successes that he has been able to achieve. >> sean: and obstructed and lied 19 times. and every republican president, this is worse than watergate. he is a broken record. you are right about the distinction, should make a fair distinction. it was members of the senate. what is it about republican senate, why are they so pathetically weak and how is it that they have not figured out that donald trump needs to show that he means it to get the action on the other side? when he is negotiating. >> i hope that they have learned a valuable lesson. they should stand with the president when it comes to china. if we want to be successful.

if we want to win the battle, the president has shown that he can win. that if we stand behind him, we will be even stronger as a country. we should pass usnca to make us even stronger against china as well. the people that continue to fight this president even though he is against these obstacles, i just sat in normandie. i watched this president give a speech that i would say it's probably one of the best that he has ever given. i sat with the leaders from foreign countries and they all sat there in amazement of the strength of this president. you know what they told me? they guarantee that he is going to get elected again, because he shows leadership, not just to america, but to the world. >> sean: all right, congressman, thanks as always for coming on the show. we appreciate it. we have some important final thoughts and laura ingraham coming up. straight-ahead. i have a vision correction number,

apparently let not your heart be troubled, is next. go ahead. i know exactly what you're going to say. go ahead. >> laura: we were watching your show tonight. it was hilarious. and i thought at one point you were referencing me. you said something -- you tripped over your words. but -- >> sean: bleach pitting. it slipped out. what do you want to do? i fly without a net four hours a day. give me a break. >> laura: i'm going to blow my makeup. i was laughing so hard. that's going to be a trending term >> sean: struggles. >> laura: i do that all the time. come on. >> sean: did you ever hear of a bleach pit before? bleach biding, bleach -- whatever. everyone knew what i meant. >> i'm sorry. it was -- i'm mad that i didn't think of it first. because that is like the best slip of the tongue ever. but i love it.

so i needed a laugh. you gave me aoo
