>> tucker: that's it for us. we'll be back tomorrow night and every week night at 8:00 p.m., they show that is the sworn enemy of -- for now, we turn things over to our friend sean hannity standing back to new york. >> hannity: tucker, great show, welcome to "hannity." tonight, the president, only moments away from speaking at a massive rally in new mexico, we will take you there live when the president takes to the stage. first we do have two big breaking news stories we covering tonight including the latest may be a mob attack again on justice kavanaugh that blew up almost immediately in the faces of "the new york times." that is coming up. but we begin tonight with serious news, breaking is out of the middle east. we can now report that the hostile regime of iran is now the likely culprit of that drone attack against major saudi oil facilities. all told, the attack caused my cause 5% of crude production to

be interrupted indefinitely. reporting that american intelligence believes the attacks were staged inside of iran. and meanwhile, the kingdom of saudi arabia confirmed that the weapons used in that attack, including multiple drones and missiles, they were iranian devices and, of course, that they farmed out in the proxy war by the rebels in yemen against saudi arabia. the reason for iran's aggression, pretty simple, not hard, not complicated to figure out, the mullahs, the on 11 such and death to america, the ones i want to wipe israel and the u.s. off the map, those same mullahs want to wipe that off the map, the sanctions that are crippling the u.s. economy. they are now suffering from a devastating multi-year recession as a result of the president's policies and the president not trying to bribe the mullahs in

iran with 15 $150 billion in cah and other currencies. deflation in iran can now reach a staggering 40%. its currency near record those. meanwhile, because of america's newfound energy independence, that's right, we, the american people, u.s. citizens, we are now shielding more than ever from the chaos in the middle east. in other words, make no mistake, oil, gas, is the lifeblood of every single economy on the face of this earth. geopolitically, this is less important than ever to us, but america's massive crude oil production, refinery capabilities, provide this country now with economic security and leverage against hostile regimes abroad including iran and other countries that, frankly, hate our guts. under president trump, this is the first time in 75 years, thanks to his policies, that america is energy independent. we are, the united states of america, for the first time in all those years, the single-largest producer of

energy worldwide. another record, another campaign promise by the president kept. but if the radical socialist democrats, if they get their way and enact their new green deal, you can pretty much kiss this prosperity and all of our security goodbye, because they have these insane fantasies about ending all oil and gas production in the u.s. in ten years, and that means no combustion engine and everything is free. in other words, they would hand over our independence, the lifeblood of our economy, to every dictator and desperate in the world, yes, including the mullahs of iran, but even the hostile regime of vladimir putin and the hostile after that he is. you want to bring the hostile regime of russia, putin to its knees, that america needs to produce more oil, more gas, and get it at cheaper prices to our western european allies. russia's economy, i promise you, it will implode, the standard of living of every single american will rise dramatically, wealth creation on the level we have never seen before in this

country. we have the world's greatest, richest natural resources. but is that what elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, and sleepy creepy crazy joe want? no. if one thing is certain, this hostile iranian regime must be held in check, yet he another tanker seized in the straits of hormones strata promos the reason it's important to us and every other country, the free flow of oil and market prices, that must continue, the rest of the world is not as fortunate as we are. the world's leading sponsor of state terrorism, well, they must never be able to acquire or develop a nuclear weapon. make no mistake, they say it, believe them, they want to wipe israel off the map. believe them when they say, yeah, they want to the united states of the face of the

earth. they want to kill israelis, they want to kill americans. it's a simple math equation, a squared +b squared equals c squared. you have the caliphate, and you marry that with nuclear weapons, that could mean a potential modern-day nuclear holocaust the likes of which we have never seen. if you doubt that, look at the last century alone. let's see, fascism, communism, nazism, stalinism, japan, slaughtering in the last country, it can happen again, al happen again if we do not act now. you cannot use evil. you cannot have evil regimes with these aggressive ideologies. instead of giving into iran's act of aggression, it is time to show the radical mullahs in the world that the u.s. has a very rigid backbone. the president stated very

clearly he is locked and he is loaded this weekend. and as we wait president trump's remarks tonight, let's turn our attention to yet another important topic, and that would be the clear business model inside the medium up consisting of spreading lies, conspiracy theories, libel, defamation, that is all, you know, par for the course, especially anybody and everybody connected to president trump. over the weekend, the new york tides, the so-called paper of record got it wrong yet again and published yet another lie, misleading article, to smear brett kavanaugh. the recent article, so-called journalist reported reporting account made third third party claiming he witnessed kavanaugh commit a account and -- commit a sexual assault in college. he has no recollection of this incident and refused to be interviewed by "the new york times." they should have put that in. that might've been important. meanwhile, the thir third-party

so-called witness would be a thirlawyer who worked for the clintons, ironically, during the monica lewinsky template in other words, complete b.s., more besmirch-meant, more defamation. "the new york times" later had to issue a correction, but it doesn't matter, the damages done. it appears the near comes willfully and intentionally misled its readers, and today, the president called for the resignation of everyone involved in this story. you see the tweet on the scene. is this is not an isolated incident. these days the so-called paper of record is nothing more than a mean-spirited, sloppy, anti-trump propaganda arm an extension of all things state, democratic party just like the rest of immediate mob. last week on september 11th, "the times" was forced to retract it to be downplaying the role of terrorists on 9/11.

the day before they were forced to take another tweet praising communist dictator mao, the great revolutionary figure, as they called him. in other words, the mass murder. it was also forced to apologize for publishing a blatantly anti-semitic tweet depicting the prime minister of israel, our closest ally in the mideast, benjamin netanyahu, as trump's seeing-eye dog. in a separate incident, an editor was forced to apologize for his past kierland past purulent anti-semitic tweets and then there is bret stephens, in a very public mental meltdown, breakdown, after george washington university professor called him a bed bug on twitter. he couldn't handle it. so bedbug bret threatened to report him to his employer. well, mr. bedbug, i have no problem. you used to work in the same building as me. you feel free to report me to my bosses, i don't really care.

now your new name is bedbug brett stevens forever. in june, a prominent "new york times" reporter falsely claiming that congressman dan crenshaw, remember this, didn't support the 9/11 victims fun. the problem is, dan crenshaw was a cosponsor of the bill. let's not forget about the most blatant pack shop by "the times" actually bragging about their entire newsroom focused on one story perpetrating the russian conspiracy theory hoax against the president. in other words, they lied, they advance the biggest hoax conspiracy theories ever. but because that widespread effort was a total doubt, it became a little problematic. we are going to now shift the narrative. we are not going to admit we were wrong. we are not going to make a correction. we're just going to find more ways to go after trumps. we will go after him on racism. unfortunately, this kind of

anti-trump rage is replicated and echoed across every single mainstream media outlets in this country. they are blinded by this psychotic hate and rage, and that is why the media mob is constantly churning out fake stories, one after another. just look at your screen. over the past two plus years, we have witnessed one phony, fake, lying story after another. for example, remember when npr lied about don jr.'s senate testimony or the fake reporting about michael cohen's fantasy trip to prague when he had never been to prague. then there is "the guardian"'s fake bombshell but men afford. the cnn staffers fired over a false report anthony scaramucci, the mooch, and nikki haley and the curtains, fake news. three plus years, the fake reports have not stopped. they don't apologize, they don't retract, they don't correct, they don't change their ways. fist raised target everyone

associated with trump, starting with his wife and his kids, even his youngest son and jared kushner's brother-in-law, now brett kavanaugh, the first lady of the united states of america, even the covington high school kid that was wearing a maga had, that did nothing wrong, nicholas and ben. thanks to the media, he has one of the best attorneys in the entire country, lynn would come, my prediction, he will be, well, if not a billionaire, pretty darn close. tonight, there's not enough time to list single fake story from the mob. there isn't enough time to list every breathless untrue conspiracy theory. let's go to fake news conspiracy tv, msnbc, rachel maddow, learning absolutely nothing from heher 2 1/2 plus years of flying and pushing her conspiracy theories.

she never apologized, she never could corrected the record. she just doubles down on stupid every other day, and she pushed yet another hoax last week, this time about the u.s. military revealing a plan near trumps resort, why, to bolster business for the president. in reality, roswell rachel they have used that as a stop hundreds and hundreds of times before trump ever became president. maybe just a little fact-checking might help your show out. roswell rachel, she is now the face of msnbc news. she sits there on election nights, news nights, tom brokaw. she beats her coverage. wow. joining us now as we await the president is fox news contributor sara carter. sara, we have a got a lot here. let's start with what we know about kavanaugh and what we know about iran. >> i'd like to start with

justice kavanaugh, sean. i think what is so shocking here, and it really shocks the conscience of journalists, especially, you know, i have been in this field for a decade now, and the first thing that you learn is, you have three sources. you have to verify all of the evidence that you obtain from the sources. you have to triple check, double check. with "the new york times" has done is absolutely outlandish. there is a serious concern here because those purposeful omissions in "the new york times" absolutely is all the proof that anyone needs, and i've talked to sources over and over again about this -- all the proof that anyone needs that "the new yorkg this purposefully. they are doing this purposefully. so what does this mean? this means that this is an extraordinarily dangerous time where mainstream media, where we trust, we go to "the new york times," "the washington post," at least the american people used to. the other newspapers would

follow. they are at weaponized. they have weaponized their stories against political opponents, and right now, there is nobody there to oversee or over check that and less people stop buying "the new york times," stop purchasing "the new york times," ordinary times makes internal changes, and i think that's what you sow with president trump's tweet, saying, look, the only way to rectify this is to have the people in charge be removed, everybody involved in this story, because the first thing that should have been noted, it should have never ran. >> hannity: they got it wrong the entire time. 99%, they got it wrong. on this show, you, john sullivan, gregg jarrett, i'm going to forget people. if i'm forgetting you, forgive me. but here's the deal, we -- we had confirmation from multiple sources, and there were days we still waited to go with a story

to be extra, extra, extra sure. numerous times we did that. >> even to the chagrin sometimes when i get ready to push a story out and i would have three or four sources, we'd say, let's wait, let's double check this, let's talk to folks at the doj, let's make sure we talk to folks of the fbi. let's get everybody on board here before we move forward with the story. and that's the right thing to do, sean. that's absolutely the right thing to do, because this is extraordinarily damaging to a democracy. think of how many nations have been infected from rolando to russia, by false propaganda stories, to germany during world war ii. propaganda is extraordinarily damaging. look at what it is doing to justice kavanaugh and his family. these stories are really, truly unbelievable. >> hannityspew and steer it thet sara carter. we just got word that the president is less than 5 minutes out to take to the stage. massive crowd, massive rally,

this time in rio rancho, new mexico. we bring in our new colleague, fox news contributor, former white house press secretary sarah sanders. you did a job that, for me, would be impossible. i couldn't do it without probably going anthony scaramucci on them, which is a compliment. i like that. but in all seriousness, this is now -- you dealt with the democratic party agenda advanced by a corrupt media, conspiracy theories, lies, breathless hysterical reporting, and it's always wrong. they got the whole thing wrong. we got eight breakout a little talk show host on tv figured it out when they didn't. we didn't follow the mob, and as a result, we were able to get the truth to the american people, and it is getting confirmed more and more every day. >> absolutely. first, sean, i think he would have done great in my job and i don't think the media would have liked you very much because i

think you would have embarrassed them on a daily basis. >> hannity: you have the patience -- and then they doubted you are baked fries. you bring the empires and say that you bake them, they still say, i don't know if you baked them. >> i think it shows one of the biggest problems with the media is, they want to question everyone's credibility when the whole world is starting theirs. the agendas of obstruction they have against this president is completely out of control. they try to destroy the president because they hate that he won in 2016, dedicated that he was able to start delivering on all the things he said he was going to, including a conservative court. the idea that he is building, not just cravings that are happening, they're taking place under this term, but he is building a legacy that will live on long after he is no longer president, through the nominees and people who have been

confirmed to courts across the country, including two supreme court justices, because they can't beat him, that they are going after everyone around him, everyone associated with him, and they are even making stuff up. it's completely out-of-control. and at some point, they have to start holding people accountable. i think it president's right to start calling for something to be done. they continue to make things appear less acute cnm make up this absurd story about a cia operative. you had political make up a story about the air force rerouting planes paid this week you have "the new york times." give three different major outlets. the only thing they have in common is that they're putting out fake nose, trying to say it is true, all in a way to take the president down. >> hannity: we have got about a two-minute warning on most of the president is going to step on stage. the president has been very clear, when he says locked and loaded, i would take it very seriously if i was a mullah in

iran. successfully beat the caliphate back in syria and isis, did it with no boots on the ground are very limited. similarly i would not expect the president to get entangled with iran, but with that said, i don't think that this percentage is going to allow iran to move forward and dictate the free flow of oil market prices or disrupt that. it's great for us. we are energy independent. but if every country we do business with, if they now are suffering because of what is going on with the iranians, it's not good for the world economy. therefore, i would expect the president, and i'm hoping for bb netanyahu's victory. this is now a line in the sand. it appears they are not asking

to get hitched, it appears the president is very capable of doing what they want. >> absolutely, i would not test this president, mike president obama. he is going to say, not on my watch, he is not going to allow them to continue to be the bullies of the world, and the president has been very clear that he is not going to allow that to happen, like you said, thank god that we have become an energy independent nation under this president, but we cannot allow iran to continue acting in the way they have for the last several decades, the way they continue to hurt countries across the globe. and i don't think that, if i was them, i wouldn't test this president. i think he has proven his ability not just to fight back, but fight back harder than anything they think is possible. the team that he has around him, with secretary pompeo and others, making the right decision, i know it will be about this, making sure that we

remain energy independent, two things that are vital important two thinks he has been able to successfully do since becoming president. >> hannity: the other issue, between the media mob and allies, there is a very heavy price that i would pay as a tal. everybody seems to think it talk show host only does opinion but, no, as a talk show host, we actually report notes. i can produce thousands of hours of straight news coverage where we are just asking questions. there's events unfolding. there is poor. this hurricanes we did that. we investigated into the deep dive on obama. we pointed out obama's failed record after eight years. nobody would do that. also on the deep state. for "the new york times" to admit 2.5 years late, oh, it looks like that dossier was there from the beginning, i'm like, yeah, you are only two years and 5,000 years later catching up to where we have

been for a long period of time. but it is hurtful because that is 99% of the media. that's what i call them the malt, because they have a mob mentality. why is it so personal for them and this president? >> i think because he continues to prove them wrong. every single time that they say this president won't do something, he won't succeed, he won't be able to do anything on immigration, he'll cripple the economy, he won't rebuild the military, he won't cut taxes, every single time they say he won't do it, he does that. it makes them embarrassed, it makes them look like fools, and he continues to do it. i think they are still mad that he won in 2016 and they are mad that he is winning every single day for this country. i think it is incredibly sad that the media and democrats would rather see the president failed then our country succeed. i hope that they will start to learn from some of these major mistakes that have happened over the last couple weeks and start

holding people accountable. start putting some checks and balances. go back to where we have a true editorial process where they are checking these things and stories are just being pushed out in hopes that they can put somebody down but they are actually making sure that the stories are great, that they are accurate. let's hope that they learn something from them. if not, i'm sure this president will be happy to point it out to them, as will people like yourself and others on this network. >> hannity: alert, stay right there. at the present, i am told, is on the stage, we bring back sara carter and gregg jarrett. on the issue of kavanaugh and the fact -- you know, there is a very high standard. i just accepted after 31 years of public life you can say anything you want about me and the bar is so high, i accepted. but i don't know if kavanaugh has to accept this if you wouldn't have a defamation suit, a libel suit that could be

successful. you seem to think he can. >> this is classic defamation. even though kavanaugh is a public figure and he would have to show as a plaintiff in a defamation case actual malice, there is actual malice in this story by "the new york times." this wasn't journalism. this was the equivalent of a drive-by shooting. they published false informati information, and they did it knowingly and willfully, which is successfully actual malice. iit can be proven because they omitted in their story on sunday one of the most vital facts of all, that the alleged victim had told friends she is no victim at all, she has no recollectio recf this. they omitted that, if they knew that the story they were publishing was false, that's actual malice. and kavanaugh ought to hire lin

wood. >> hannity: i can tell you something about lin wood, fits the profile of the lone bomber, and he said, yeah, you are the only one the said -- because he lives with his mother, it taught me a valuable lesson. that's when i got to know lin wood. springsteen isn't taking this case with nicholas sandmann for money, he doesn't need the money. he's taking it because of the passion, how they destroyed that kid. let me bring sara back in, the other big story, iran, locked and loaded, pretty serious terms, now you also have an added alliance that has emerged, that is my hope bibi wins tomorrow. oh come here comes the president. real quickly, it seems like iran, jordan, egypt, the saudis,

the emirates, aligning. >> they are, sean, and they have been doing this for a while. they have known that iran wants to move in and sweep fascia thea presence. it president is in the best position. he is splitting -- hopefully benjamin netanyahu wins tomorrow, because that is another really strong ally. believe it or not, in saudi arabia and israel have a lot in common when it comes to iran and protecting that region from iranian hegemony, as you call it. >> hannity: the president has now entered the arena. another packed house. just look at the crowd size, as always, packed to the rims. apparently a lot more people, thousands and thousands, that wanted to get in, that i couldn't get in, as usual, as the president makes his way to the podium.

a few questions you've got to ask yourself for 2020. all the people that voted for trump in 2016, you think the majority are going to vote for him again? based on crowd sizes, i'd say they're more enthusiastic than ever. number two, if got to ask can he win over, record low unemployment, african-americans, asian-americans, women in the workplace, youth unemployment, can he win over people that may be say, hey, i am better off under his policies? then the question that always remains, every four years, any reelect, are you better off then you were four years ago? that will become a critical question. and every single democratic candidate, what are they proposing? 70% marginal tax rates for individuals, 90% marginal tax rates for corporations. that will lose jobs.

that will -- american corporations believe in drugs and hurt american business. here's the president, rio rancho, new mexico. listen up. >> president trump: thank you [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting "usa"] [cheers and applause]

wow, thank you, thank you, new mexico. we love being with you. we love being with you. incredible. incredible people. thank you very much. and i'm thrilled to be here in albuquerque with thousands of hard work and hardworking, freedom loving american patriots. thank you. [cheers and applause] we are all united by the same love of our great country and, by the way, our country is doing great. you see it.

the same devotion to family and the same profound faith that america is blessed by the eternal grace of almighty god. [chanting "usa"] good night to that person. tomorrow they will say "massive protest." one person just going home to mommy a little bit sooner.

good night. but we are bound by these convictions. we will campaign for every vote, and we will win the great state of new mexico. [cheers and applause] and, by the way, you have thousands and thousands of people outside who can't get in, so we love you. we love you. we appreciate it. we tried to get the biggest terrain that we can get, and they are never big enough, frankly. and i always say, 2016, i don't know if there will ever be another 2016, but right now, it's like a great tree or a great plant. you plant it, and it has to take

hold. we have two win 2020. we have two win 2020. and every day, and you know as well as i do, we are battling a gun just the corrupt establishment of the past, and we are achieving historic victories for the american peop. we are winning again, and we are winning big. we are winning big. for your state, we have ended the last administration's war on american energy. and since my election, natural gas production -- big story today -- in new mexico has increased by 40%. 4-0.

and that means great wages and that means jobs, and that's why you're breaking every single record in your state's book. crude oil production in new mexico has more than doubled and going up a lot higher very quickly. and your state's energy revenues are up by nearly two-thirds. think of that. two-thirds. and that's in a short period of time. give me a little bit more time, okay? [cheers and applause]

the united states is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. and this means more jobs, higher wages, and american energy independence, which is what we have. you know, a few years ago, if we had a problem like you said two days ago in the middle east, we would have been in a panic -- although not if i were your president. we never panic. but a few years ago, they would have been in a panic. today, we got a lot of oil. we got a lot of gas. a lot of oil and gas. we don't have to send too many boats over there. you notice the other day, they

were saying, "we don't see too many american ships anymore." because we don't need -- we are independent, as independent as we want, and now a net exporter of energy. revenues from energy production provide up to 25% of your state's budget and going much higher in the beer near future, and they have generated nearly a billion dollar budget surplus in new mexico. thank you very much, president trump. thank you. now, under the green new deal, that all goes away. that all goes away. it all goes away. you can forget it. no more cows, no more airplanes, no more trips. a single car, make it electric, single car.

you're not allowed to travel more than 162 miles. they'll call us the hermit nation. we'll never leave our house. it's crazy, but that's okay. i don't want to bring it up, because i don't want to do it too early. maybe they'll change. think of it for you, texas, so many other places, they want to get rid of your energy? i mean, explain that one. explain that? get every major democrat running for president, they want to abolish our production of oil and natural gas. in other words, the democrats want to completely annihilate new mexico's economy. the democrats want us to be subservient to foreign producers.

they want us to be at the mercy of rogue regimes. that's not happening anymore. it's been a long time. it's been a long time. it's not happening anymore. the democrats will never get the chance because new mexico will never give them that chance. [cheers and applause] [chanting "usa"] under this administration, america is working again. america is winning again. and america is respected again like it hasn't been for a long time.

and i can tell you, because i meet so many of the leaders and their presidents and their kings and their queens and their prime minister ardern's and their everything -- dictators every once in a while. every once in a while, you get a rogue dictator. today i had the crown prince of bahrain, and they come in and they say, sir, i'd like to congratulate you on what you've done with the economy of the united states. it's a model for the entire world. they all say it. [cheers and applause] and earlier today -- do we have any baseball fans? [cheers and applause] right? right, you know what i'm going to say. earlier today in the white house, i had the honor of awarding the presidential medal of freedom, that is the highest

civilian award, to somebody who truly embodies the american dream, baseball legend, the greatest, but either way, the greatest relief pitcher of all time, mariano rivera. he was something. the yankees won a lot of world series because of mariano. great guy. done so much for charity. fantastic man, fantastic family. my administration is fighting to empower all americans to reach their dreams and achieve their potential. we have created 6 million new jobs since election day. the fake news would never have allowed us to say that during the campaign even as a projection. unemployment recently reached its lowest rate in over 50 yea

years. more than 7 million americans have been lifted off of food stamps. nearly 600,000 americans came into the labor force last month alone. think of that. wages in your state, new mexico, are growing at a rate of much more than 3% a year, which is unheard of. 20 years ago -- and i used to say during the campaign, you go back -- it's hard to believe, i'm here almost three years. can you believe how time is flying? can you believe? i don't know about me, but you look all much better than you did three years ago. your wealthier, and even with

the #meetyou movement, you're all better looking, including the men. including the men. no, you are all looking good. since my election, the number of new business applications for new mexico has increased by almost 30%, more than any state in the united states. [cheers and applause] think of that. more than any state in the united states. so essentially you're saying, and a certain category, a very important category, you are doing better than any state in the united states. how do i lose new mexico?

explain that one. how do we lose that one? and yet, for whatever reason, it has been quite a while since a republican won the state. but i think we are going to win this state easy. [cheers and applause] you ought to see it the people in all the way from the airport -- that was a long drive, by the way. 35 minutes. all the way in, we had people, they were waving. i didn't see any negative hand gestures. right? no, i think you're going to do great here. we are here for a number of reasons, but we are here because we really think we're going to turn a state and make it a republican state. [cheers and applause] yesterday marks the beginning of the hispanic heritage month.

who is hispanic here? [cheers and applause] latinos for trump, thank you. incredible people. but we have much to celebrate. unbelievable when you think, the unemployment for hispanic-americans is right now at the lowest level ever recorded in th history. hispanic-american property reached a brand-new all-time low in history. and after years of stagnation that you know very well, wages for hispanic-americans are rising really fast, up nearly 8%

since my election. those are unheard-of numbers. and median income, think of that, the median income for hispanic-americans surpassed $50,000 for the first time ever. that's your median. that's not bad. that means you're wealthy and getting wealthier fast. i want to tell you it is an honor. i'm on a debate stage debating one of these far left radical democrats, whoever it may be -- [crowd booing] and they start telling you what they are going to do for you, and you say, but we have the best numbers every category that we've ever had -- hispanic-americans, excuse me, new mexico as a whole -- we have the best numbers, african-americans, the best numbers that we've ever had in the history of our country,

asian-americans, the best numbers that we've ever had in history. women, the best numbers that we've had in 71 years. we are working night and day to deliver a future of limitless opportunities for our nation's hispanic-american citizens, including millions and millions of extraordinary mexican-americans who enrich our society, and strengthen our country, serve in our military, and contribute immensely to other shared american family, and i want to just tell you that mexico is doing a great job for us on the border, and i want to thank the president of mexico. [cheers and applause]

[crowd chanting] you know, it's very interesting, i hear everybody screaming. you know, we are building the wall, and it's going up. and if you think that is easy with the democrats who control the house, we have to take it back -- but if you think it's easy, but we are building a lot -- we have almost 500 miles of wall built by the end of next year, and it's making a big difference. 500 miles. but you know we won a big case two months ago and the supreme court that allowed us to do what we are doing. this has been -- i'll tell you

what. another president would have given up a long time ago. we don't give up. so we are building the wall, the army corps of engineers, doing a beautiful job. it's a great -- it's a great structure. it's a great structure. you're going to have to really want to get over that wall to do it. but, you know, it was very interesting, because not too long ago, i saw where the hispanic-americans were up with me in a poll. and i said, how is that? how is that? how is that? 17%, by 17%. i won't even tell you the final number was, they are not going to believe it. but you know why? because the hispanic-americans,

they understand. they don't want criminals coming across the border. they don't want people taking their jobs. they want to have that security. and they want the wall. they want the wall. [cheers and applause] and we have a man in the audience who is, i think, the best dressed man in this entire place, including me, right here. look at him. come here. look at him. just look at the sky. and he's been to a couple of rallies, haven't you, huh? we had some people the other d day, unbelievable, two of them. one of them it was going to be very, very close. here's another one of my friends. thank you. i like that beautiful red tie you are wearing. but we had a victory, two

victories, north carolina, where one was 17 points down three weeks ago, we got involved, we started sending out lots of different social media messages. we did a couple of little robocalls. but the big thing, we did a speech the night before. the turnout was beyond belief. and instead of being down by 17 points, easily won the election, 4,005,000 votes. dan, thank you, dan. thank you, dan bishop. and greg was up -- i would ask them but they won't give me -- what did he get it, do you know? he won by a lot. he won but a lot. i would ask, but we are not going to get a straight answer. they were not happy. they were not happy.

i'll tell you, tuesday night, the fake news was not happy. you know, they had their studios all built. cnn had their a-list talent -- they don't have a-list talent, but they had the best they could. and they were all set. this was going to be the end of trump because this man was going to lose, but he turned out to be tough and smart. in all fairness, i helped a lot too. [cheers and applause] and toward the end of the night, they started dismantling that studio. it probably would have been there for focal weeks. this is the end. but two great victories, congressional victories on tuesday night, and it was something. the one gentleman won by a number that nobody thought even

possible so much, and the other won arrays that he was weighed, wake, way back. i shouldn't tell you this, but my geniuses, my people, some of those standing right there come out right there. some of them -- right there. they said, sir, don't get involved in that race, sir. you can't come back from 17 points, sir. it's too much. i said, but i really like that guy. i think is great. let's give it a shot. they say, sir, if you lose, they will never, ever -- it'll be much worse. i say, whether i help him or he don't help them, it's going to be the same, it's going to be a disaster, so let's help them. we campaigned and worked hard, right? they said, don't do it, sarah, please don't do it, sir, it would be very embarrassing. i said, i don't mind being

embarrassed. i don't mind being embarrassed. we are also very proud that unemployment among native americans has reached the lowest rate in nearly two decades. and we are building an amazing future french citizens of every background, race, religion, color, and create. and that's what we have, that's what we have, race, religion, color, and creed. but the radical democrats want to demolish everything that we have come up they want to raise taxes, bury you in, take away your health insurance -- 180 americans -- they want to race in american history crush religious liberty, and indoctrinate our with left-wing ideology,

and left-wing democrats want to confiscate your guns and eliminate their god-given right to self-defense. you know that. as your president, i will never allow them to take away your liberty, your dignity, your social security. and i will never, ever allow them to take away your sacred right to keep and bear arms. [cheers and applause] the left tries to threaten, bully, intimidate americans into submission. they used democrat prosecutors and phony congressional

committees whenever they can. they'll do whatever they can to demean newcomen to lie about you. they try to blacklist, coerce, cancel, destroy anyone who gets in their way. look at what they are doing today to justice kavanaugh. look at what they are doing. [crowd booing] did you see "the new york times"? did you see what they are doing? did you see what democrats -- they are calling for his resignation. they are calling for his impeachment. and the woman involved said she didn't know anything. but they still -- so "the new york times" had to put out a major apology and they had to change their story. the woman said, i don't remember that. and they still want him to be impeached. and i just put out a

statement -- and he's a great man, by the way, great talent, great, brilliant man, brett kavanaugh. and i just put out a statement on social media that said -- i don't think they'll do it, but they should, for the good of the nation. i called for the resignation of everybody at "the new york times" involved in this, and while you're at it, the russian witch hunt hoax, which is just as phony a story. they have taken the old gray lady -- you know "the new york times," him a few years ago, they have taken the old great lady and broken her down, destroyed her virtue, and ruin her reputation. she can never recover and will never return to greatness under current management.

"the times" is dead, long live "the new york times." and i do want it to live, but they have to beat -- they have to change their ways. think of it, they wrote a story about somebody that said -- she doesn't remember this. can you believe it? and yet all of these radical left on committees that are set up to her to the country come up with all that we have going, with saudi arabia, with iran, with china, with russia, with north korea come up with all that we have going, look at the cards that we have been dealt. lucky we won the election in 2016, believe me. [cheers and applause] with all that we have going,

they say, let's impeach justice kavanaugh, one of the smartest, most brilliant students, top at yale, let's impeach president trump, think of that, this crazy mueller report comes out, 18 trump haters, liberal democrats, some worked for hillary clinton, they found nothing. think of it. after two ears, they found nothing. they spent $40 million. there is not a person in the room that i couldn't find something on without. they spent -- think of it. they found nothing. no collusion. no obstruction. no nothing. [cheers and applause]

to stop the far left's campaign of destruction, you must vote republican, and you're going to get the chance very soon. we are joined tonight by many terrific republican leaders, and somebody that has done an incredible job, she ran michigan for me, and as you know, for the presidential races, michigan hadn't been won in decades, and she kept saying, could he come back, sir? i said, who the heck is the woman in michigan that keeps asking? she said, sir, if you come back, you're going to end michigan. hasn't been won and decades. and i won michigan. you remember? that's great, great night. "donald trump has won the great state of michigan," they were going crazy on television. that was not a good night for certain people. remember the couple of people

that were crying? i guess they don't like a strong military. they don't like cutting regulations, they don't like low taxes. they don't like right to try. you know right to try, all these things that we've done for the vets, we got choice. everyone said it was impossible. we have rebuilt our military. i told the story for the first time today. a general came into my office in my first few weeks here. remember, it was a little dangerous and president obama left us with a few beauties. and i said to this general, you better be prepared because this is looking like it really could be a conflict. and he looked at me and he said serve, we have very little ammunition.

i said, say it again? and i want to tell you, the words of very little didn't use. >> sean: that's a president addressing new mexico. let not your heart be troubled, the coverage continues with the laura ingraham. >> laura: i am a laura ingraham and this is >> sean "the ingraham angle" from washington. in moments, my ankle will expose the real reason that democrats are reviving their smear campaign against brett kavanaugh and what it tells us about their agenda. a panel of the best legal experts bar none including those closest to the supreme court justice will respond. plus mike huckabee i doubt mike huckabee and victor davis hanson is here as well. but for now back to president trump at his live press conference in rio rancho, new mexico.
