the dnc, were coming afterg you. >> sean: the last word, doug schoen.t keep giving them bad advice. >> i think i give good advice. i would say to the democrats, run on issues, try to do a deal to make the dreamers and the wall get done. it's good for both sides. >> sean: they are not going to do it. >> we need progress. if there's progress that will benefit the country and the democrats and indeed the republicans, because, sean, what is so bad about this is the real winneral in all of this is vladimir putin, president e.g., all the autocrats who see us ripping ourselves apart, hurr positions globally when, as you said quite correctly, the president is dealing with very serious foreign policy problems. >> sean: they wanted to sow discord in the country and they have succeeded. 100%. the s president is still successful, which i will point out in a few minutes. thank you all. as wee continue on the special edition of "hannity," don't miss joe digenova, alan dershowitzgh weighing in on what has been a massive, busy legal weeks, straight ahead. ♪ when trying

it was political pundit doug schoen not a ukrainian businessman hosted by doug in ukraine.ositive about ukraine. another negative to the fake russia c. would you like to explain what we need to understand about that and the context? >> this is pretty simple. i did extend an invitation to then candidate donald trump and something "the new york times" and the president agree on. i extended the invitation. it was a big deal for ukraine because this was the president's first foreign speech. he spoke to the territorial integrity of ukraine. he spoke to the need for closer ties to the west for ukraine. and it was a great event. people like -- it was bipartisan international. a big deal for ukraine, a good event and something for which the president -- >> bill: is there controversy here or not? >> i don't see it, bill. it was a speech. he received, as many do, an honor aium for speaking one time. payment one-time fee and a good deal for the country of ukraine where the president on a one-time basis spoke out in a way that none of us can anticipate he would be elected president but

time for the power panel, kevin mccullough, radio talk show host for salem media, doug schoen, coauthorerica in the age of trump" and former pollster for president bill clinton. inside inside the east room, lek a little bit about where we are with the president. i want to jump right into a conversation our viewers may have heard during the commercial. you've got an indiana lawmaker senator lindsey graham calling for potentially the nobel peace prize for president trump if you get the deal between the north and south korea's. >> most americans of all ideological stripes and parties would agree but it's a very big "if," we are a long way away from a north korean deal but who would've believed the president of north korea kim jong un would walk across the demilitarized zone into south korea? that's a huge step. >> harris: credit goes where, kevin? >> remember when trump came into office. your north korea launching missiles, on an aggressive, hostile front. something changed along the line and suddenly, they'd become very cooperative. >> harris: what changed? >> the president's dual approac

it was political pundit doug schoen, not a ukrainian businessman, who asked me to do a short speech by, skype, hosted by doug in ukraine. i was very positive about ukraine, another negative fake story, the fake russia collusion story is what he means by that. that's your story, with maggie haberman a couple of days ago. explain the story a little bit and your reaction to the president's tweet. >> the question isn't who arranged the speech. i believe the story, i believe the president inaccurately describes our story as sort of a common thing that he does where he sort of says it says one thing, when it doesn't. i believe the story does acknowledge that schoen was the one who set up the meeting. the question isn't necessarily who set up the meeting, but why did the money come in. the president gives a 20-minute speech, not really a speech. it's basically a talk with a lot of awkward delays, on to this conference in ukraine. and after that, because of something arranged by michael cohen on his end, $150,000 is moved into his charity. now we were writing about this in the context of a mue

doug schoen former advisor to president clinton and chris bedford, gentlemen, good day to both of youhey pining for holder on the left there, doug? >> i don't think so. you know, you allude to the fact there were a number of scandals, fast and furious, the conservative donor scandal but on the left the question about eric holder is why didn't he prosecute anyone, any leading financial executives coming out of the financial crisis? he gets it from the left and the right, bill. >> bill: all right. chris, i imagine you would probably want to see him in this race. i mean, do you think like democrats are looking for obama 2.0? >> i want everyone to jump into the pool. more candidates the more fun it is to cover. attorney general holder worked so closely with president obama and considers himself, he said a defender of the former president's legacy. that's what you'll get. unlike the current scandals we're talking about attorney general holder's scandals don't include spending too much money on a dining room set but losing automatic weapons. one of the most infamous massacres when a birthda

joining us now doug schoen, former advisor to president clinton and marc lotter. good morning to you. get to the larger immigration debate in troops on the border in a minute. doug, first on this. does democrats run a risk in staying too far to the left as we're seeing this growing backlash against sanctuary laws? >> i think yes. look, to me this is an issue of constitutional prerogative. federalism is very clear. you can't make your own laws on a state or a city basis that contravene federal law, you can't do it. to your question, yes, democrats run a profound, profound risk in the mid-term election if they do not a, recognize that federal law must prevail and also support the compromise which i think made sense. build the border wall and get the 1.7 to two million dreamers the right to stay and have a pathway to citizenship. >> leland: marc, you won't disagree with that. i'm asking you to take it a step further. i had a close friend of the president saying no one is better than getting the left to do things mind and do things politically stupid than president tru

stuart: doug schoen with us, former clinton pollster, fox news contributor. m. >> thank you, so much, stuart. stuart: do you think this is begins of a split this black vote. it has been pretty monolithically democrat. is this beginning of a cleavage? >> it could be, stuart. one entertainer, rapper, comedian, epdoorsing donald trump's efforts does not change the black community, let's be clear but if donald trump and republicans are smart and develop a narrative and set of programs for african-americans and hispanics, in absence of a democratic agenda, let's be clear there isn't a democratic agenda, it could get republicans up 15, 20%, of african-american, hispanic vote. if they got that, that would be pretty tough for donald trump to be denied re-election, stuart. stuart: i'm surprised to hear you say that democrats don't have an agenda or set of policies. i have been hearing a lot of about their policies shifting further and further to the left. >> they are. stuart: specifically, we had a gentleman on the show, candidate for the presidency, is this universal

joining us doug schoen, former clinton pollster, fox news contributor.ted to see this. >> i never did, stuart. as a younger person i expected israel to be at war with saud saturday am some point this is ratification of part of the trump agenda, with el-sisi in egypt and saudis, united coalition with israel against iran, save the possibilities in syria. stuart: i say a win for president trump. realignment of the forces in the middle east. a clear-cut statement who is with us and who is not. what is this about the u.s. pulling out of syria. you don't think that is a good idea? >> no, i don't. that empowers iran and isis. stuart: they haven't done it yet. >> the president said explicitly he would cut off the money and get out. that bothers me. he changes his mind. we know that. let's hope on this one he does. stuart: well he could be persuaded if the saudis were to pony up a little money like $4 billion. >> that would be very great, stuart. i would be supportive of that. stuart: successful move on the part of president trump. >> that would be segacious. stu
