russia, russia, russia? >> yeah. well, you know, russia, russia, russia, and then nothing ever develops, you know? t that wasn't collusion. i mean, nothing seems to have come of that. but the media just won't let go. but mainly, when you see the washington post and the new york times and the big papers here and the networks and so on, the thing that is different is the determination of the mainstream media, the elite media to bring down president donald trump. it's not just they're covering him critically, they're covering him with a negative purpose. stuart: can we get to the point where the extreme language is so extreme, i mean, you've got senator tim kaine talking about treason. >> i know. stuart: does it get to the point where voters say this is ludicrous, it is nonsense? it goes over my head, i just want something done. no? >> i think that's beginning to happen. but certainly from the media, there's no penalty against that kind of talk. and the word treason pops up and collusion. you know, a lot of -- some of the press had said that it's collusion just because donald trump jr. met with some r

russia, russia, russia. you know, when it started, it looked like a don jr. got this email. he jumped at it he met with this woman. it looks like collusion. as it turns out, the russian story is starting to fall apart because it looks like she was just a lobbyist. and she met with a whole bunch of members of congress and state department officials and members of the press and washington ohihoypaloy. >> moving the gool post. collusion that not only interfered with our election process but indeed dictate the electoral outcome. the only people that say that seriously these days is hillary clinton and nobody believes it we know why she lost. it's obvious. and, frankly, when i was campaign manager in those last several months. you know, when i needed negative information about hillary clinton, i didn't have to go very far. i looked at hillary clinton. she was a treasure trove. she was like a treasure box of negative hillary information with arms and legs. steve: kellyanne conway, people call you up all the time and say i have dirt on her and would you take a meeting with them? >> no. steve: the president said yesterday that that kind of occurrence happened all the time. >> it does. but in the case of hillary clinton, it was all there to see. no, is he absolutely right in terms of people are always whispering i have got opposition here. or i have got information there. and sometimes people want to aggrandize their own positions. wish to be helpful. many meetings end up as a bust that aren't particularly meaningful, consequential or helpful to hear don jr. to speak of it. that's how he character rips this particular meeting. let's go back to your point. your essential point is that we're not telling the american people all the good that's happening in this administration. brian: right. >> for a couple of reasons. first is because of the russian obsession. as i call it the russian concussion. the russian percussion. secondly, and this doesn't get covered at all. it's a heck of a lot easier to sit around and scream russia, russia, russia, with no basis than to go learn the finer points of the new healthcare bill to. dig in and understand the simplicity and fairness and middle class tax relief in the fax plan being developed right behind me. brian: i heard that in december the treasury sect secretary is going to release it kellyanne conway, to stop the critics, to stop the critics that want to trip up the trump administration all cost and some of which are on the right. do you believe that there should be everybody involved in the campaign and in the administration should once and for all go through all their communications, those little post-it notes, down to what they wrote on their hands to find out any type of interaction with any type of russian official just astray gowdy said to get it all out? >> every single colleague i know here at the white house and in the administration, in the campaign, even if they don't serve here, ladies and gentlemen have said they are willing to cooperate. they are wil

russia, russia, russia. they talk more about russia than america. it's like photograph today than the cold war. at's why the president temperatures twitter feed is so important. he jumps over them and tells the american people, we are making america great again. judge jeanine: there is no fear or concern on the part of this president working with putin. it's like he can let all this noise around him, he can go like this and brush off his shoulder and do business. it seems if we can work with putin to fight isis, we are doing it. >> the president is a patriot and pragmatist. he looks at relations with moscow with a steely eye. my father was arrested and tortured and imprisoned by communists. along with america we are the two most of powerful nuclear nations in the world. and we would like to have some kinds of cooperation with key issues like syria and isis. if people think that's a bad idea, then they don't understand how the world works. judge jeanine: the nuclear deal obama did, the $150 billion, they are yelling death to america. the media could care less. their hatred for donald trump is so

still, here at home, it could be russia, russia, russia. and i think that russiassia is losing hits sting. ashley: russia, russia, russia. stuart: get out of here! we'll be back. dentures are very different to real teeth. they're about 10 times softer and may have surface pores where bacteria can multiply. polident is designed to clean dentures daily. it's unique micro-clean formula kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria and helps dissolve stains, cleaning in a better way than brushing with toothpaste. that's why i recommend using polident. polident. cleaner, fresher, brighter every day. stuart: okay. that was the president of france, emmanuel macron, standing up for the president's reasons for leaving the paris agreement. we'll have more on that in a second. however, i've just got a reading on consumer sentiment which earlier this year was at a record positive high. new numbers show -- >> down. eroding economic optimism. they came in at 93.1, that's a miss. wall street was expecting a read of 95. so they're coming down to the levels possibly we saw last october be

russia, russia, russia. while completely ignoring the millions of forgotten men and women in this country. that's the issue they should be focusing on. that is tonight's opening monologue. once again, the destroy-trump-media has worked itself into a frenzy over a meeting that donald trump, jr., had back in june of 2016 with ae russian lawyer. the press is running wild, all types of black helicopter tinfoil hat conspiracy theories about russian collusion once again. of course, they are completely missing many of the key facts about this story. if you actually do some research and read more than the headlines of these phony "new york times" reports, with the media should be doing in the first place, you will notice the massive holes in this story. the lawyer who donald trump, jr., paul manafort and jared kushner met with,to didn't work for them at the time of the meeting. the woman stated she had information that individuals connected to russia refunding the democratic national committee and supporting mrs. r clinton. her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. no details with supporting information was provided or even offered. it quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information. she corroborates that. the meeting was meaningless. it did nothing to produce anything. where is the collision? not to mention, if this lawyer was such a threat and a russian agent or spy, why the obama administration let her into this country in 2016? as john solomon and sara carter reported, this lawyer was denied a visa but eventually was allowed into the country under president obama.. and as president trump the legal team pointed out, they think this meeting could have been a setup made to give the appearance of russian collusion and the person responsible for orchestrating all of this -- pay attention, you will not hear this in the mainstream media -- is connected to fusion gps. the op research firm that produced the fa

this there is nothing here but let me tell you what is the saddest part we have been told russia russia russia russia to such an extent that maybe by virtue of this repetition there's been some kind of a cerebral connection made where people impute to guilt whenever that word is met and i'm not kidding you it's almost like a brainwashing there is absolutely nothing to this story no matter how you look at it from anybody's point of view there is nothing there i think i've made that very clear i think. people are starting to return to the iraqi city of mosul for the government declared victory over islamic state in the area on monday however one of the most difficult tasks can still lie ahead as most of mosul has been devastated by nine months of fighting the u.n. says it will take billions of dollars and years to rebuild the city. according to human rights watch the coalition used a number of weapons that are inaccurate and could be quote unlawfully indiscriminate if used in a heavily populated areas among them are unguided artillery rockets and mortars and nikki aaron has more on the story. the liber

russia, russia, russia while we're talking about america, america, america, we're always going to be like this. if you actually look at the polls -- this great polling analysis where they said 6% of americans. 6% said russia was the most important issue to them and main stream media given it 75% of coverage. 35% -- >> in the bloomberg study. that's right. 11% for immigration. but that same bloomberg poll found only o440% of americans support this president. is it only to play to the base or try to reach 100% of americans, not just 40? >> i thank you for putting the poll up. i want your viewers to see. 35% health care. the only coverage cnn gives health care is whether or not it will pass and whether or not it has the votes. >> a stunning failure. one of the stories of the year. >> there you go, using those words. if you want it to be a stunning failure or you're going to insist it is a stunning failure, you are denying literally the millions and millions of americans who were lied to by the last president. you like your plan, keep your plan. if you like your doctor, keep your doctor. they don't have health care benefits through their employer like you and i do. >> that was 2009, it's 2017. let's look forw

we will get his take on the democrats' obsession with russia, russia, russia, russia, russia. >> in retrospectably would have done things a little differently. this is before the russian mania. before they were building it up in the press. opposition research. they had may be concrete evidence to all the stories i had heard about but were probably underreported for years.e i think i wanted to hear it out. it went nowhere. itto was apparent that wasn't wt the meeting with actually about. >> sean: from our exclusive interview tonight, donald trumpc jr., and with us now -- jay sekulow. here is what the amazing thing is -- we have ukraine. bibi netanyahu. obama tried to impact that election. mi6, the intelligence guy from great britain, the dossier. in that we have real crimes, for example, b are there any doubts that hillary committed crimes? mishandling and destroying classified top secret special access programs information. >> we could start with the server that was held in the townhouse in colorado. and then what james comey said. that it was extreme carelessness, which is the definition of g

russia investigation. it's just constant. johnny one note thing. it's russia, russia, russia. as i said in my column. betelgeuse thing. if i say russia, russia, russia enough, maybe it will get the bogeyman donald trump. but that's not what we're supposed to be doing as journalists. liz: you're such a great writer and journalist. we're so happy you came on the show. thank you for your time, sir. >> liz, it's a pleasure. liz: now, the company called roku that makes media streaming content and software, it's preparing to launch an initial public offering before the end of the year. it's said to be seeking an evaluation of about $1 billion. now, 21st century fox is an investor in roku along with other companies. now, coming up, we have the london chief of police saying they stopped five terror attacks just minutes away from being carried out over there. so we have also this story for you. a federal judge in hawaii still trying to occu curb president trump's refugee pause here. also this story. white house adviser sebastion gorka taking on cnn on the russia, russia, russia story, and he did it last night

russia russia russia but i think he throws into relief or let's say the core of the american people the people in flyover country his constituency just how to out of touch with reality his critics are you know and to weigh in on that because the story that was getting a lot of traction we of course you know russia russia russia in the background that's what. the fake news channel c.n.n. and m s n b c they make their money that's their business model but the story that was being a lot of talk about i think was very very interesting it was about jeff sessions the attorney general and in a flash it well i should say in a tweet that story went away again jim said trolling is i trust trolling the media because he wants to control the narrative he wants to control what's in in in the storylines for the major broadcasters and newspapers. you know i don't necessarily see this trolling i do see it is entirely intentional and yes it did take the jeff sessions story off the front page but i thought that this was all directed at sort of getting people's attention focused away from the failure of the obamacare repeal it measures in the senate and sort of the the gilded nature of the trump legislative agenda there the reality is yes the president knows that he can reset the agenda any time he tweets out some

russia, russia, russia. it's psychotic. i spoke to kellyanne conway. let's start with health care. i am trying to put aside my anger and be more solution oriented. i have known you for over 20 years. we talked about health savings accounts for 20 years. i had a doctor from wichita, he's helped 400 other practices with these cooperatives. $50 a month. ted cruz's amendment drops premiums. why after 7 years are we having such a hard time with congress? >> today's lunch with the republican senators showed the president at his finest. real leadership to go in and to say, stay in washington and do your job. the president said i have been here 6 months. you have been here for 7 years. promising to repeal and replace obamacare. the president has done his job. he ran on that and he is waiting in hisov pen in hand ready to sign it. today he had a frank but respectful conversation with the senators and said to them: to do their job and recognize that a no preceded the yes vote for obamacare. we are doing this because obamacare failed many americans. 83 insurers fled the exchanges. premiums predicted to go down that have gone up $3,000. 6.5 million americans willing to fork over $3 billion to the irs in penalties rather than to pay in obamacare. over 1300 counties will have 1 provider and 14 counties have zero providers. you mentioned health saving accounts. under the current senate bill, for the first time ever people can use that money to pay for their premiums. that's the problem with obamacare. people don't have access to insurance because they don't have an insurance card. they can't use it because of the premiums. aha money to pay for premiums it's a bigger market per people to get the care they deserve. >> sean: i wasn't the biggest fan of the house bill, but it's a big step in the right direction. it allows catastrophic care which is illegal under the obamacare law. and health saving accounts. the cruz amendment is helpful to lower premiums. i don't know. it's so obvious. does the republican party want to be the party of freedom? to me it's that basic and fundamental. >> that was discussed today. this could be a very, very big moment for the party and more importantly for the country. we need to look americans in the eye and say when we had a chance to pull back on the government standing between the doctor and the patient, you and health care for your family affordably, this congress told the nation we stand with you. let's review a couple of the other great things on the bill. this is important. you have the stability fund with billion dollars more in it now. you have to stabilize markets to help cover those with pre-existing conditions. you are saving medicaid which and unaffordable in its current configuration. you give the governors flexible. 44 million dollars for the op open -- opiod epidemic. if you don't like the bill, do what ted cruz did. offer an amendment and go to the senate floor and say how to improve it. >> sean: back to the merkel dinner because of the bubble and fizz hysteria on nbc and cnn. all the press new that melania was sitting next to vladimir putin. everybody knew all of these leaders were in the room. everybody knew everybody would be talking. what do you make -- it's like i want to say to everybody in the media. if donald trump drank and he doesn't, they would say that's russian vodka because they are so obsessioned. >> we talk about made in america. they talk about russia, russia, russia. this is over the top. it was a concert and dinner hosted by merkel. we don't do the seating arrangements. melania trump seated next to vladimir putin. her husband went over to speak to vladimir putin. the upshot was any description of this as an undisclosed secret second meeting is complete nonsense. that was part of the public schedule. this is what leaders do: they talk to each other just as president putin and trump did. this is just another attempt to bring russia into the conversation. here at the white house they were talking about made in america. these people with their services made in america. very proud from all 50 states here. the president doing a great job putting american workers and keeping these american factories open. >> sean: they will never report on the good news. >> but we will. >> sean: they don't care about getting americans out of poverty and back to work. it's a constant 24/7 obsession. >> the president is more popular than the congress or t

[laughing] >> at the least we support obamacare but thinks it needs to be fixed. >> i am want giving you a free pass. should the democrats be investigating ukraine and a political report that says the ukraine was trying to influence our elections for hillary clinton and information was passed back to the dnc and hillary clinton campaign. >> i am a facts person. i have not seen any facts. >> because you are not watching the show anymore. >> i know the story about the

russia, russia, russia. mainstream media continues. here. all along where they're trying to make it look like this was the dirtiest white house in the history of white house. >> right. and the worst part of it is, steve, we have now seen the future, and it looks a lot like the present and the past, which is that this endless cycle of the attempts to bring down the president and the president and his team making numerous mistaking that fuel the fire. and so just keeps repeating itself. one incident after another, and the unfortunate part is that it really does detract over time from the presidency itself to where it gets wigglinged down, the optimism drip, drip, drips away, and you have the sense that the country's business is being neglected. steve: sure. after the president had a very successful g20 summit last week in europe, he comes back home, boom. new york times, and you write in your column blunted whatever good feeling the president had. >> yeah. the times used that as casual, so they had nothing to do with it; right? but, look

russia, russia, russia. you, the american people, the people that went to the polls in november, the forgotten men and women that have been left behind -- you are now caught in a crossfire. an ideological crossfire. the groups that we have been telling you about, the destroy-trump-media, the destructive democrats, the lazy republicans, they are all doing this because they don't like how you voted. that's why tonight, we have to call out the republican lawmakers. they've asked for this job and they are now failing. they need to cancel their august recess. at stake, work like the rest of america, and washington -- to fulfill the promises they made to all of us here. if you people can't get health care done, get the wall funded, the economy moving, a new budget plan passed, you are feeling the american people. the president has been in office since january doing all he can do on his own. it's time you in the house and senate got to work. it stop with the vacations! if you have to work 14 hours a day seven days a week like most americans, do it. it's time to end the excuses. find a way to get it done. you owe the american people -- you gave your word. in other words, do your job. that's what you were hired for. you are supposed to be public servants. do what the american people sent you to d.c. for. here with reaction tonight, laura ingraham. all right, laura. this is pent up. by the way, thanks for -- >> we missed you. >> sean: you were here. you did a great job holding down the fort. this is pent up fury that is building in me. >> when you get away, even a few days where you can think and you are not bombarded 24/7 with politics -- you actually talk to real people who have real lives that are separate from washington and new york and you find out with on their minds. we have the opportunity to do that on radio every day because we talk to people three hours a day five days a week. but when you get to decompress a little bit, it all does settle in. it is stunning. number one, that we have republicans who refuse to produce results for the trump agenda. that one back a historic election. that's outrageous. number two, the media who you rightly called deranged for their obsession with issues that most americans think -- well, they are important but they are not everything. he cannot focus 24/7 on those issues to the exclusion of health care and economic recovery and the good things that have already occurred under the trump administration. you are right to be frustrated. i think americans are extremely upset and enraged that mitch mcconnell cannot deliver a bill to the president's desk that he can sign. i don't see how you can keep your job at senate majority leader -- >> sean: they don't deserve to. >> they certainly don't. he would be able to keep your job in corporate america with his track record. six months into this, they should have already delivered on tax cuts, infrastructure, and clearly on repealing obamacare and replacing it with something much more market-based -- all things we have talked about. this is what the folks want. they refused to do it. it looks like we will have to get republicans who can actually deliver what the voters want. >> sean: they have about 30 days left in the legislative calendar. do you have time to eat lunch? you know what i had for lunch? campbell soup. everyday. >> [laughs] i just had a couple of oatmeal cookies. >> sean: greenroom food, which is the worst. >> yeah, exactly. i've got to say, i have been to the senate dining room a few times. there are few senators trying to get things done. it's always packed. they always have time to eat lunch in the senate dining room. they are feeding themselves quite well. i think we have to hold them accountable. look at what the left is doing, sean. they are mobilizing their resistance. elizabeth warren putting out the call to mobilize against republicans in this two week period. what a republican voters doing? they are scratching their heads saying we already told you what you want. we told you what to do and you refuse to do it. that's unconscionable. it's unconscionable. >> sean: coming up, sara carter, john solomon, jay sekulow join us with reaction to the big breaking news. it's time to hold these washington republicans accountable. ted cruz thinks they should stay home from vacation. he will update us on the senate's attempt to repeal and replace obamacare. all of that. dr. sebastian gorka and wait till you see the final minute -- the new segment tonight, terrence williams gets the last word. we will explain. coming up for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. liberty mutual insurance. my doctor recommended i switch laxatives. stimulant laxatives make your body go by forcefully stimulating the nerves in your colon. miralax is different. it works with the water in your body to hydrate and soften. unblocking your system naturally. miralax. we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. ♪ yogig-speed internet.me?

you won't catch this on the other news channels. joining us now, sara carter, john solomon, jay sekulow, let's start with you, jay. on the issue of 18 u.s. code 614. government property leaked to "the new york times," u.s. code 793, classified information. are they both felonies? >> 793 is always a fallibility. at 641 can be a felony. let's be really clear what happened here. we know james comey didn't just leak one memo -- the law professor acknowledged he got it. jesse authorized disclosure would be a violation of the law. in my view, a felony. let's take it a step further. james comey testified two things. he said it was his personal notes. the government has taken a very different view saying its government property. number two, he leaked that information for one purpose only and that was to obtain a special counsel, which he did. let's put this in the context, james comey illegally leaked government information to a third party for one purpose and that was to get a special counsel. it was put in place based on documents that were illegally leaked. everything's wrong with that picture. that's not the way it supposed to be. >> sean: sara carter, let's go to you. you are reporting with john. good have you both back, by the way. what was this possibly a set u? is this a very different story at the end what the american people are being told? >> yeah, i think there's a story here that people are not getting from the mainstream media. one is this. natalia veselnitskaya was the attorney donald trump, jr., met with and was actually connected to a company called -- dennis classic actually hired fusion gps. this was the security investigative behind the christopher steele dossier. the christopher steel dossier which has been disreputable, that was tried to connect donald trump to the russians was actually the company this woman was working for. i know congressional investigators are looking into this. what was her connection to fusion gps and how does that play out with the meeting she held with donald trump junior? which he said he did not know prior to that meeting. exactly who she was and what she was representing. that is a very, very important part of this story. >> sean: john, i want to juxtapose this to another story that political broke. the headline is ukrainian efforts to sabotage trump backfire. he has officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost clinton. the story goes on to talk about this wasn't the only campaign that was boosted by a former soviet lock country. government officials try to help hillary undermine trump, questioning his fitness for office and also discussing documents implicating a top trump aid. is that coupled with with this dossier that was put together? working with the campaign to influence the outcome of an election? >> great question. we don't know who else. we've only heard about russiarussia. we don't know who they helped or what they did to help. the most important question is who allowed that russian lawyer into the united states? she was denied a visa. that means someone had to give her special permission. parole entry. when we find out what agency let her in, we will know who is responsible for getting her in the country and putting her in this position to meet with donald trump. >> sean: didn't we know that was the obama administration? >> no doubt, 2015-2016. what agency is responsible? the fbi, justice department? those are questions we need to answer. >> sean: to think this was a set up by the dnc and this fusion group we are talking about? >> there's not enough facts and evidence to assume that yet. there were a lot of people working at once and what overlays and intersections they have come up we don't know. in part because fusion gps has not answered a lot of the questions that the senate has put to them. until we find out who was bringing natalia into th
