if they solicit you, it is treason.erer >> what has two thumbs and agrees with you? this guy. >> tucker: we will be back monday, 8:00 p.m., the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. have the best weekend with the ones you love. ♪ >> jason: welcome to the special edition of "hannity," trump versus the west. trump versus the left. i'm jason chaffetz in for sean. for the hour, we will reveal americas left obsessively push an anti-trump conspiracy theories, all while covering up clear and unbridled misconduct at some of the highest levels of the federal bureaucracy. this week, democrats and the media mob teamed up for another round of fake moral outrage. this time over a statement from president trump about foreign opposition research. the president emphasized he would pass off nefarious material to the fbi, but that

didn't matter to the far-left mob who manufactured yet another funny scandal. after more than 24 hours of constant hysteria, president president trump clarified his comments yet again. take a look. >> first of all, i don't think anybody would present me with anything because they know how much i love this country. nobody will present me with anything but number two if i was and of course you have to look at it b because if you dot look at it you won't know it's bad. how are you going to know it's bad? but of course you gave it to the fbi, or report it to the attorney general, or somebody like that. but of course you doto that. you couldn't have that happen with our country. you look at what happened, hillary clinton with the money that ultimately went to russia for the fake dossier, that total fake, pile of stuff, if money gets paid -- and by the way, the amount of money that was paid, and was paid by hillary clinton and the dnc, and it went to russia -- that's the criminal. >> jason: the president was right. it was democrats who actually

paid for foreign dirt in the 2016 election, and it was the deep state who helped them every step of the way. recently, congressman nunez sub did a perfectly right here on on the show. watch. >> i know we always say this happened at the top of the fbi, but i will tell you, that attitude permeated throughout the counterintelligence capabilities. and if retired fbi agents it's okay to usepa counterintelligence against political campaigns, i think we have gone a long way in this country. it used to be the democrats that didn't support the counterintelligence capabilities because they thought they were spying on their campaigns and political enemies. it ends up, in fact, they took them over, they corrupted the whole thing, and it seems like that iss the attitude throughout the fbi, at least for most of the former officials. >> jason: one of those high-ranking fbi agents was andrew mccabe. he was fired for lying, but now he's calling for trump's impeachment, all while

defending the clinton campaign for charges of collusion. watch this. >> the line is very clear. it is not acceptable to take anything from a foreign power, certainly not a hostile foreign power, certainly not the government of russia. for a campaign to hire a law firm, an american law firm, who then turns around and hires an american research company, who then contracts out with a foreign individual, that is not illegal. campaigns are allowed to hire individuals, foreignhi individuals, and to pay those individuals for the services that they provide. and i would add, too, chris, that in the example of the clinton campaign, it was that very far an individual who stepped forward and provided the information he had collected to the fbi, simply because he was so troubled by what he was bseeing. >> jason: wow, we are going to break that down. joining us from "the wall street journal" ," kim strassel. fox news contributor,

sara carter, and judge ken starr. kim, i want to start with you. the duplicity in just that comment from a mccabe, it was absolutely stunning, and how we can take two positions. but how come the democrats aren't asked of the hard questions? republicans get hard questions, and want to be able to answer those questions, but the democrats -- the double standard is unbelievable. >> that is what i wanted to know the entire time everyonee was going on about president trump'y comments. and i think, in the original discussion that he had with "abc news," he was actually talking about allies of ours calling him in the capacity -- his capacity as the president, to provide things. but when you love to hear somebody asked hillary clinton, do you really think it's appropriate that you had hired a researcher from a foreign country, who was getting information from russians -- disinformation. because we know it's not true. and i think andrew mccabe's entire sentiment there sums up why wait we are in the mess that we are in.

that was clearly the thought process that was guarding them as i they went on justifying th. >> jason: no, look, this is what is amazing about what the clintons were doing. on the one hand, while she was secretary of state 11 times, president clinton took more than $500,000, and while she was secretary of state, and presumably a candidate for president. and then also spending money through the dnc and the other organizations, spending millions of dollars overseas in order to generate this dossier. so sara carter, you have followed this as closely as anybody.y. t where do you see this going and what happens next? >> certainly, the investigations are ongoing. as we hear from the department of justice that john durham is basically amassed his own group of people to look at the very beginnings and the origins of the investigation into president trump and the alleged russian collusion. i think that's going to be very

significant, because what we know now, it expands far beyond the fbi, jason. they're looking right now at cia officers, and of course we know that john brennan is connected to those. we've got clapper, as well could the former director of national intelligence. and james comey. but i think what's really important is what you just said a moment ago, and what you talked about,an andrew mccabe. think about what andy mccabe is staying there. he is actually saying,g, look, e have these people talking to people in the united states. they should be reporting this to the fbi. we've got foreign actors, yet they went ahead and they took all of this information -- which i believe the investigation isnf definitely going to focus on fusion gps. that's a nongovernmental entity. that's the embattled research firm that hired christopher steele to basically collect all of the information on the dossier, which was paid for by the hillary clinton campaign and the democratic national committee. they are going to be looking very closely at that, but they

took all of this information from a four -- even if it was an ally -- a foreign mi6 agent, and then they take it from him, and he takes the information from the russians. an think about that. they are actually -- i mean, the hypocrisy is stunning there. >> jason: and judge, the selective moral outrage is what drives me crazy. ag i mean, i don't see a fair and balanced media trying to askce hard, probing questions onme anybody on the democratic side. but as you look at the president's comments that came out this week, how do you assess the situation? >> i think we should not forget that he is the president of the united states. he can talk to anyone he wants to. he can get information from anyone he wants h to. he is the nation's chief executive. and he has, i think, he has clarified that if he got something from a hostile power, he would use his discretion to report it. but that is what i think got

lost, jason, in the entire conversation. the president brought it back to .you, hey, i was just meeting with her majesty, the queen. you shouldn't be calling up the director of the fbi to report on althis conversation with her, or president macron. it is ridiculous on its face. these are important principles that we don't want the united states of america's political campaigns to be infected, especially with hostile powers. but i think that we have essentially seen a tempest in aa teapot. >> jason: kim strassel, you have been writing for ahe wall street journal" for number ofhe years. what questions would you want to ask the democrats, and how do you explain to people who may be don't follow the news day in and day out, the selective moral outrage that happens in the media? >> well, what i really want to ask them is, t okay, let's move ahead a year.. on the basis of what you are saying at the moment. what you are justifying. apparently, you would be okay if the trump fbi started a counterintelligence

investigation into one of the leading 2020 candidates or the 2020 nominee. on the basis of some sort of opposition research that had been provided to the trump campaign from a conservative operative. you would be good with that. of course, they would not. and i would also like to ask them, how they came to change their views on some their view so quickly in things, particularly civil liberties. the outrage from democrats when president bush was trying to to the patriot act, and other things, we got constantly told we cannot use these surveillance tools, even metadata, which is nothing compared to fisa warrants, by the way. but not even metadata because of the risk that it might invade an american's in some way or a fo, or allow the government to surveil.ov so i'm not quite sure where that has all disappeared other than into politics because it's more convenient to now not hold that position. >> jason: sara, we heard

devin nunes' comments on "hannity" last night. but within the intel community, how pervasive is this? it is scary to think that you have devin nunes the former chairman and ranking member of the house intel committee telling us that this is not just one or two people, more pervasive than we originally thought. >> it absolutely is more pervasive than reported.e, and i think this is the reason why, jason. so many have reached out to reporters, especially to me over the last few years. i remember early on when we were first breaking the stories on, you know, the unmaskings and a warrantless surveillance, and if she was like that, it was because people had been coming forward and saying there is something seriously wrong with the weaponization of our intelligence community. i don't think whatro we realize- that it was this fast, that it was happening at such a pervasive level. and i think this is what devin nunes and others are trying to bring forward, and by the investigation right now is so vitally important, because we

really need to clean up these agencies, find out what was going on in an effort to move forward, so that it never happens again. >> jason: and it seems like weeks ago, but judge starr, we started the week with john dean testifying. i mean, it was a comedy show as far as i could tell but what was your take on that when you saw that spectacle? >> well, i thought it was a poor exercise in judgment on the part of the chairman and the majority to call john dean. now, he's paidth his debt to society and so forth, but he's made a cottage industry if not a lucrative career out of assailing republican presidents. and it's always worse than watergate, so i think to be honest, i would not respect john dean's judgment and i think the republicans on the committee did a very fine job of saying, hey, let's look at your background and so forth, but also not just what you did at the white house, you paid your debt to society, but what

you have done since that time which really raises very serious credibility questions. so, i don't think it was a serious exercise, bad call on their part, but they are trying to keep the ball in play as i see it. keep the stories going. but it was ignored because of a helicopter crash that was tragic in new york. but it just shows it was not a good judgment on the part of the democrats. >> jason: judge starr, thank you for joiningat us. sara and kim, we thank you for your expertise. we really do appreciate it. during president trump's interview with george stephanopoulos, the journalist was upset all things mueller and president trump hold himt called him out on it. take a look. >> i gave them 1.5 million pages of documents, right? i gave them 400 or 500 witnesses. i let don mcgahn testified to my let him say to the white house counsel. >> you didn't answer questions on obstruction. >> wait a minute, i did answer questions in writing. >> i don't know. >> i did answer a lot of

questions. they gave me questions, and i answered them in writing. >> not onqu obstruction. look, george, you are paying a little wise guy, okay?ti which is typical for you, just so you understand. very simple, it's very simple. there was no crime. there was no collusion. >> jason: oh, that is vintage trump. joining us now is former fox news contributor and trey g. mr. gowdy, we thank you for joining us today. i really do appreciate it. i want to go to the beginning and when we come back to it we heard from mr. stephanopoulos but at the beginning we heard john dean before a committeeee that you used to serve on and i used to serve on at the house judiciary but what was your take on that read? >> john dean is not a fact witness and has never talk to don mcgahn or talked too president trump or ever talk to christopher steele. so, you can rule out him having

any facts that might benefit the american public. he is not a legal expert on obstruction. he did pay his debt to society. so i wouldn't have spent my 5 minutes relitigating his criminal history, but he is not a fact witness.. so it begs the question, jerry nadler, why would you call someone who can't help the american people with the facts or the law? and the reality is, jason, and you are there almost as long as i was, this story -- they wanted to get it started right after the inauguration. and they want to keep it going until november of 2020. and even having a pathetic, sad hearings that don't benefit anyone other than the folks who buy advertising on television, that is part of this effort to keep it alive. >> jason: they don't even selle advertising on c-span and i can not imagine people are wasting e their time to watch that clown show. you bring up two convicted

felons, michael cohen and john dean as the way you will propel this, i don't know how democrats with a straight face look in the cameras and say oh, yeah, we are trying to get to the bottom and do the work for the american people. part of what happened -- >> i will tell you how they do, i will tell you how they do. they're never asked about it. how many times did you and i discuss, look, you were really, really good with the media when you were there. i constantly watched you stop and talk to print reporters most of the rest of us wouldn't do it. i hope you even you have realized now that duplicity and relativism with which republicans are covered versus democrats. if you as the chairman of oversight had called someoneer like john dean who is not a fact witness or a legal expert about the best he can give you the date of the life in federal prison. that is the best he can give you. you would have been excoriated. you don't hear anything about that. >> jason: the media would not

even ask questions. i issued a subpoena for the i.t. specialist for hillary clinton, who said he served four years with hillary clinton. and had never sent or received an email, and he had an immunity agreement. we asked him to come before the committee, and no one even cover the hearing because he didn't show up. >> i was there, in case you forgot. hey, how about six years' worth of not getting information from president obama's administration? i mean, where is the outrage? where is the "politico," "washington post" articles about how outrageous it is the executive branch is not cooperating with legitimate oversight? you don't see any of it. i get our former line of work ain't that popular, but folks in the media are not trusted as in a robust thriving democracy. much as we need them to be in a robust thriving democracy.

and at some point, they need to ask themselves, i wonder why we are not trusted. i wonder why people think we are in the tank with the democrats. i think you will see a little bit of that this week. >> jason: you see it every week along the way. now, one of the -- >> a little more than a little. >> jason: this week they w wanted to hold and did vote in the oversight committee, and a committee you and i were both on and chaired, to hold attorney general barr at the secretary of commerce in contempt. i can't believe they did this. what was your take on this? >> you know, jason, we held eric holder and contempt for the failure to produce documents. you are not the chairman at the time, but there is tensions between the branches over whether or not to produce documents and whether or not there has been an accommodation. there is actually litigation still going on with this. so it is kind of like holding barr in contempt for not holding not turning over the mueller report. by law, he cannot turn over certain parts of it, so you cannot hold him in contempt for

following the law. in this instant, they are holding wilbur and the attorney general in contempt t for not turning documents related to something currently part of litigation. but if you can do it and get away with it and never be questioned and never be challenged by your base or the media, why not? >> jason: in the case of wilbur ross, there is a pending supreme court decision that will happen at the end of the month. they have scheduled witnesses from the department of congress. and testified hours before the committee. they have turned over 14,000 documents and this rush to try to hold them in contempt before the supreme court comes about this decision. yet, nobody is writing the stories because they don't ask the core questions. w i have just a minute left but i want to get your take on andrew mccabe calling for the impeachment of donald trump. what is your take? >> oh, jc, go back to trump this week.

he wasn't sure whether to call the fbi -- i hope he would,wo let's encourage him to call the fbi. but who would he have gotten on the phone if he called in the summer of 2016? comey, who thinks impeachment is too good for you, mccabe, who despite his own legal distractions wants to wait in and say trump ought to be impeached. brennan, who wants to do one more than that and actually put them on trial for treason, a crime you can be put to death. so that is who he is supposed to call in the summer of 2016. i wish mccabe would just go on and deal with his own legal issues.d i really don't know anyone who gives a damn what andrew mccabe thinks about impeachment and donald trump, i really don't, other than the reporter that asked. i don't know a single soul. >> jason: he's in a big, huge legal trouble, and i think he's doing his own thing. >> that's where i put my time. i would devote my time on my own legal issues and not weighn in on other people's. >> jason: he will be in a world of hurt soon. i can't wait for the inspector general to report.

i know you and i think a lot of michael horowitz, and i'm sure he did a thorough job. when it comes out, i think it will be as close to the facts as you get. >> you are right. >> jason: congressman gowdy, thank you again for joining us. directly ahead, you won't believe what president trump said about 2020 democrats running for president.dy matt schlapp and congressman of arizona will be here with reaction. stay with us. ♪ for some powerful reasons. check 'em out at your nearest tracker boats dealer and you'll see why. tracker's revolution hull offers a ride so smooth it's guaranteed. and tracker boats are backed by the best factory warranty in aluminum boats. well equipped and ready to fish. now get a $1000 gift card with purchase of a tracker pro team 175 txw at select bass pro shops and other fine dealers. but i'm more than a number. when i'm not teaching, i'm taking steep grades and tight corners. my essilor lenses offer more than vision correction

♪ >> jason: welcome back to the special edition of "hannity" trump versus the left. 2020 democratic presidential candidates continue their pushco to impeach president trump. yesterday, california congressman eric swalwell had an article where he wrote "we have no choice. congress must begin an

impeachment inquiry against president donald trump." new york city mary bill de blasio, senator amy klobuchar, also joining in calls for impeachment. take a look. >> they should begin impeachment proceedings. we can no longer accept the notion of a president whoul openly invites interference in our election. the mueller report was bad enough, andd i thought there was plenty in there that would successfully lead to impeachment. but that interview -- there are breakthrough moments in life -- that interview says he has learned nothing. >> would you like the impeachment proceeding to begin now? >> i would support impeachment proceedings beginning now, but i also understand they may want to do investigations leading up to it. and i think they should be given the time to do that. >> jason: it sounds to me like they are afraid to face president trump in a general election.ec the president also went after some of his possible opponents when he called "fox & friends" this morning. >> everybody knows that

joe biden does not have what it takes. okay, he doesn't have what it takes. everybody knows this. >> what does that mean? >> it means mental capacity. it means a lot of different things. he never did have what it takes. until obama -- he ran two or three times.wo i used to call him 1% joe because he never got more than 1%. then obama came along and surprisingly, took him off of i would say, the trash heap. and now i see pocahontas is doing better. i would love to run against her frankly. i see that bernie sanders is not doing well at all. i would have, frankly, liked to run against. i don't see the other ones. i really don't see it. >> jason: joining us now is american conservative union chairman matt schlapp, and arizona congressman andy biggs.g i want to go back to the beginning of where we were talking about with eric swalwell. i think it is generous to call him a presidential candidate

when you are pulling at 0.0%, but i guess you can fill out the paperwork. so he tends to this article in "the atlantic" and this is why you can't take this guy seriously. it starts off and he writes as the judiciary committee's only career prosecutor, that is just not true.ri john radcliffe, former u.s. attorney, ken buck from colorado a long time prosecutor. the guy is a fraud. and yet they continue this drumbeat and they say we have to have impeachment. >> yeah, i don't know if this is a contest to be the next democratic nominee or just a contest to get a big tv contract. i but it does seem to be kind of an interesting spectacle to watch. i do think the president's right. there is definitely tier onean group of candidates, who look like they are credible. then there is all these others. and quite honestly, to the american people, i thinkhe they look at these democrats who are running on impeachment and investigation, and i think it is rather exhausting.

>> jason: i mean, shows some creativity along the way. but andy biggs the congressman from arizona. i served with you incr the congressman, as well. it's got to be frustrating. a guy likes swalwell is there for one thing only: attention, getting in front of the camera. believe me, i know a lot about cameras, but this guy is unbelievable in his approach. but this impeachment talk are they going to do it or just chatter about it?ap >> they are doing the chattering now, but i think they will get around to doing it. right now, nancy pelosi is just trying to hold a team of horses back and drive the democrats to impeachment. but you have people like 1swalwell, amy klobuchar, pullg at 1% -- these people, who knows why they are running? they are going to be on the debate, but good grief, you're talking about people making the most outrageous claims on

hypothetical statements for impeachment. it is just absurd. it's ludicrous. and it actually, frankly, in small wells case, it's actually funny. >> jason: matt, when mayor de blasio goes out and says we need impeachment -- does it really even matter? is anybody even listening? youif can walk down fifth avenu, walk down times square, right around the corner from the building i'm sitting in right now -- this city is a mass, and it is a disaster. and how we spend time talking about other things when they have chronic homelessness and other problems around this country. it really does fire you up. >> yeah, mayor bill de blasio could kill somebody on fifth avenue, and people would say, who is that who killed that guy? i just think these are anonymous candidates. and the problem for the democrats is finding the theme, jason. it is not so much finding the candidate, it's finding a seam. the economy is roaring. america is back. we are leading again and not on bended knee apologizing to the

world. we are cracking down on the problems that our country faces.in look, in america, we reelect presidents when we are not at war and when the economy is strong. and, in donald trump's case, he has got a very strong hand. the democrats, all they have is try to make him illegitimate and they have tried for two years, and it ain't working. >> jason: this is thee problem, congressman biggs. they have nothing to run on. you take bill de blasio and people like swalwell in california, and their policies, democrats have been in charge in those places for a long time. and we see the homelessness. but you look at what donald trump is doing and the difference between the obama-biden years, with this economy soaring and democrats have something worthy to run on. >> absolutely right and i look at the democrats and say, they don't have policy prescriptions. you know, jason, you have gone through the appropriations

process, and you should see the amendments the democrats are throwing out there. if they don't want to bring the budget under control. they want to yell and scream about the president needing to be impeached, but the economy is so good, and the places de blasio and swalwell are coming from, they are not so good ince the sense -- you've gt the homeless problem. you've got this terrible problem with the cities turning to be run run down. people don't want to go there. people want to leave, because of democratic policies. i think president trump has really brought this country back, domestically and internationally, as well. >> jason: he has a record to run on. policy prescriptions that are making a difference in the country. and i don't see a one of the democrats out there with policy prescriptions that would make this country stronger than what donald trump is doing. that is my perspective. matt schlapp, congressman biggs, thank you for joining us. we do appreciate it.

and that's not just my opinion, those are the facts. >> she fell short of her duty to the americant people. that will be part of her legacy. >> she suffers from lying. the american public deserves better. >> have to say i will not miss her. >> we were the first hour to ban her tape and so i literally and figuratively will not miss her either. >> jason: and "the washington post" reacted to the news by puttingng up ths picture on their official instagram account, which reads "the queen of gas lighting. farewell to a lying, disrespectful white house press secretary." unbelievable. joining me now with reaction fox contributor charlie hurt, relatable podcast host allie beth stuckey, and trump 2020 national press secretary kayleigh mcenany, kayleigh is joining me in the studio in new york.

when you deal with the press, you deal with the press, you are a human being, you have a family. when you see that, what goes through your mind? >> i think i see what the american people see, an elitist, pompous press entirely out of touch and contrast that with sarah sanders, a wonderful, human being, honest so much integrity, and the american people what are they watch someone fighting for them. the trump agenda that they elected. there is a reason why sarah sanders ranked the ninth most admired woman in the country is because the american people see her as a fighter. someone standing up to the pomposity of the press. which has historic low low appl may ratings. >> jason: now, charlie, you have been watching the d.c. media for a long time. but when you see the attack that she is facing personally, when she is announcing she is actually leaving, what do you see? >> i've never seen anything likesh this, jason. it is really amazing. the personal nature of the attacks on her so often has

nothing to do with the policy position or a factual dispute or anything like that. it is just this vicious, vitriolic, personal attack. and the clip you just showed from msnbc, where the hostess was talking about how we were the first hour to ban her, whatever, whatever she said. that is -- it was a competition among all of these reporters to see who could be the nastiest and the most venomous towards her. much the way they have been towards president trump prior to that. but the way they have gone after sarah sanders, it's like nothing i've ever seen before. and i think they turned off a whole new sector of people who will not pay any more attention to any of the news, so-called news scribes out of washington. >> jason: now allie beth, when i see that, i think they are showing their true colors. here is a woman who sacrificed

a lot, and she is serving the president of the united states, but allie beth, why do this when you are going out the door and announcing you are leaving at the end of thee month? >> look, i understand it. they are celebrating right now. if i were an anti-trump journalist, i too would be excited about sarah sanders leaving because she is so good at her job. she did not let anyone in the press run with an unfair or untrue narrative. that is extremely intimidating coming from a strong press secretary. so, i totally get it. i get their attitudes, and i get why they are excited. they think they will have someone come in that will not be as strong as sarah sanders and they are excited to see her go. i probably would be too if i were them. >> jason: look, this is a woman who stepped up in a very tough role, did an admirable job, and the human sacrifice, the toll on her family.

you remember the stories of them harassing her a family and not serving her in a restaurant and all of those kinds of things. hats off to someone who steps up and does that. t t >> hats off to her.h: and stepping back rather than criticizing sarah, that did a good job, i wish the media would take a look in the mirror how wrong they are and how quickly they forget about they were wrong about november 8, 2016, election where president president trump won. wrong about the inclusion narrative and mexican tariffs not working. they are consistently wrong,g, yet they have the audacity to go out with those and criticize and talk about mistruths and they are the ultimate center of mistruth. >> jason: charlie, that is the problem of the flip-flop and idea, they preach this narrative about collusion that never turned out to be true. >> for two years, for two years, they used dirt from foreign adversaries. false, made-up dirt from foreign adversaries to try to undermine a duly-elected president. and they failed. all of it was completely made

up. they are all complicit in it, and they all did everything they could to cover for it and to prop it up and make it seem like it might be t true. and now, of course, we listen to allue this talk seriously about wanting to remove the president based on this fake, false information that was obtained from foreign adversaries. very strange, isn't it? >> jason: they want to get rid of him because he said he would listen. that's the crime, he would listen. he started out by saying, i would do both. but that is impeachable, listening.g. but i want to ask you, allie beth, when i was the chairman of the oversight committee, i had an agreement with ranking members. you know what, we can go after each other as elected officials, but we leave the staff alone. they work for us, they have families. they are federal employees. why should we believe the national media when they treat somebody like sarah sanders the way they have?

>> i think the gloves are off when it comes to president trump and their administration. and we have never seen this pressnal vitriol from the towards the president and his administration. i think that nothing is off-limits. again, she was on the front lines. this was a the first person calling them on their narrative and calling them on their lies, and they just got really offended by it.th so, i think we are seeing some sort of celebration in this particular part of her careeree because she made them extremely uncomfortable. >> jason: well, hats off to sarah and what she said. her sacrifice, her personal sacrifice, her family, her personally, she has a lot to be proud of. and her service to this country, i hope she looks back fondly, because she was dealing with fake news media and one that had an agenda and was going after her. she stood there anddi took the bullet, day after day, night

after night, and hats off too her for the great job that she did as the press secretary. kayleigh, charlie, and allie, thank you so much for joining us tonight. when we come right back, new york city is actually using public money, your taxpayer dollars, to pay for abortion. unbelievable. stay with us. ♪ i have a vision correction number, but i'm more than a number. when i'm not teaching, i'm taking steep grades and tight corners. my essilor lenses offer more than vision correction with three innovative technologies

♪ >> jason: welcome back to this special edition of "hannity," trump versus the left.t. tonight, liberal lawlessness is continuing to plague them in major cities.ni rampant homelessness, needles on the street, and massive trash pile ups are leading to a health crisis. especially in los angeles, where city officials are now accusing neighboring suburbsbsf dumping their own homeless on l.a. streets, escalating the already out-of-control crisis.

and, unfortunately, california's soft-on-crime policies don't stop there. because democrats in the golden toate are now pushing actually let convicted felons serve on juries. and remember, this far left radicalism extends to every corner of the new, extreme democratic party. including on the issue of abortion, where new york is leading the charge, as city leaders are backing new efforts to provide abortion funding assistance for women who travel in from out-of-state to have the procedure. they are literally taking your taxpayer dollars and using it for abortions in new york. you can't get it done in your own state, come to new york, and the taxpayers in new yorkn will pay for you to go get through that process. u.s. senate candidate from michigan john james is joining us, along with foxon news contributor

rachel campos duffy. rachel, i want to start with you. a this is a tough subject, and you talk about abortion, the fact that we use taxpayer funds to do that -- how does that strike you? >> it is crazy, and it used to be that americans agreed on both sides of the issue not to use taxpayer funds for abortion. so the question is -- by the way, the fund is $250,000. it will not just pay for the abortion from out-of-state women, but it will also pay25 r transportation costs, lodging. the question is, why use public tafunds? you can raise $250,000 in a new york minute among rich, liberal democrats in new york city. why are they doing it? the reason is they are doing it purposely. it is their way to get revenge against some of the pro-life legislation and the sentiment in the country and the science community that is favoring the pro-life movement. and it's a trend you are not just in seeing new york -- i have a daughter in college that attends the university of new new york.

they just voted in the government tuition money that my husband and i paid toward my daughter's school, towards an emergency fund that will now also pay for abortions from college students. so, this is a liberal trend. it's a revenge to force people who oppose abortion to actually be complicit in it. >> jason: and this is theeo problem, because planned parenthood has literally hundreds of millions of dollars in their endowment, but they are purposely goingeno use these taxpayer dollars in order to do that. what is the message that theybu are sending there, john? >> well, i believe this is a betrayal of public trust of taxpayers in new york. i believe that using taxpayer money to fund abortions is the wrong answer and the wrong way to go about fulfilling mayor bill de blasio's campaign promises. look, i'm pro-life, i'm not going to apologize for that, but we need to spend more time wrapping our arms around the mothers and the children doing everything that we can to protect and preserve the life of both.

i've seen too much in my 38 years to abide by any more that we canh possibly do more. to stop. >> jason: and also, i have got to tell you, one thing about the health of the mother which we talk about, but this is not the safest way to do this, right, rachel? >> no, it's not. by the way, the legislation that governor cuomo signed actually is making abortion. it used to be rare and safe, but part of the legislation wasn't just to allow abortion in later stages of pregnancy and even after birth as we both know has been very controversially discussed. but also, they are making it such that it's not just doctors that could perform this but now allowing technicians and nurses. so they are not making abortion safer, it's quite the opposite. >> jason: no, john, i wish we had more time to talk about l.a. and homelessness and the policies, because i know you care deeply about that. john james, a candidate for the
