Let's Play A Game: Trump or Schumer - 1.8

Published Jan 8, 2019, 11:00 PM

Cabot Phillips, Media Director for CampusReform.org, conducted a terrific experiment and exposed the misinformation of the left regarding immigration. In the experiment, Phillips asked students on the campus of American University if they agreed with President Donald Trump's statements on immigration and the border wall. Only the quotes the students were given were not actually from Trump. They were from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Secretary of State Hillary of Clinton, and President Barack Obama. The Sean Hannity Show is on weekdays from 3 pm to 6 pm ET on iHeartRadio or Hannity.com.

You ever had, all right, gladial with us and write down our toll free telephone number. We'd love to hear from you today. It's eight hundred ninety four one sewn if you want to be a part of the program. You know, I don't know what. I don't know how else to say this without just coming right out and saying it. You have prominent Democrats that are playing they're playing politics with an issue that in years gone by, they've used the same arguments, the same words, and supported the same plans that they're now calling immoral. And you know, in the course of a week, we lost officers sing out in California and find out illegal immigrant. The illegal immigrant was in the criminal justice system. If they didn't have sanctuary city state policy out in California, this person ice would have taken them into custody and would have deported them. That's what federal law calls for. That didn't happen, And that's why I'm saying these laws. I don't understand why we have laws that allow the aiding and abetting and violation of federal immigration laws. I don't know why. You know, liberals love to claim that they are the most compassionate. They have a monopoly on compassion Conservatives. They are coldhearted, being cheap and horrible. They're racist, they're sexist, they're misogynist, they're xenophobic, homophobic, islamophobic. They want dirty year and water, and they want to kill granny and they want to kill children. We hear it every two and four years. But officers saying out a five month old son, that kid is never going to see his father for the rest of his life. Is the government going to step in? Considering the government through a sanctuary policy, you know that they're aiding and abetting potential and real crimes by allowing people that are in the country illegally that commit crimes, that are in the justice system by not deporting them. Now, I know some people get deported and then they come back. Well, I forgot which particular case it was. One of the famous cases might have been Kate Steinley eight times. The guy came back eight times because the border is not secure. Now we've got I interviewed last night on Hannity. It's like the hardest interviews to do. But when you interview the parents, because I think it's the hardest thing to go through in life. Very wonderful. Wendy and Cochrane, they lost their son, Pierce. I'm looking at pictures of this kid. He's in a good looking kid. He's twenty two years old. And on December twenty ninth, police say Franco Cabrani Francisco Eduardo swerved into oncoming traffic and they killed this kid criminally negligent homicide. Well, he's been in the country illegally for fourteen years. Wendy Cochrane, the mother, put a blog up there, why can't you just obey our laws? This is now life and death, you know. But here's where it gets frustrating to me. You know, you can go back and look and all of these Democrats now that are saying that this is immoral, on that this is wrong, and that they don't want the border wall. Well, President Trump picked up an endorsement for the border wall. We have number one former border patrol chief under Obama revealed that he supports the President's planned to build the wall. Any and everybody I know that ever worked at the wall, and we've been down there how many times. It's DJ and Wendy Cochrane, the parents appears Cochrane. But you go back. We've dealt with this issue many times over the past years. Two thousand and six, the Secure of Fence Act passed with a bipartisan support, requiring the construction of physical barriers along seven hundred miles of the two thousand mile US Mexico border. Sixty four House Democrats voted for the measure, twenty six in the Senate. Let's see Senate Minority Leader Chucky Schumer, he voted for it. Hillary Clinton voted for it. Crazy Uncle Joe Biden voted for it. You know. Then Illinois Senator Barack Obama praised the bills, saying it would do some good and help stem some of the tide of illegal immigration into the country. And then in twenty thirteen, all Senate Democrats, most House Democrats, they backed the comprehensive immigration reform bill called Gang of Eight Bill well that included forty six billion dollars for border security and around eight billion to repair or reinforced barriers along the seven hundred miles of border fence had been required by the Secure Fence Act, not all of which was built, and the twenty thirteen immigration bill it hadn't been signed in the law would have ramped up the Interior Enforcement and border security in return of a pathway, potential pathway to legal status for people. How the President has been clear he's willing to talk about the DOCCA kids, He's willing to talk about dreamers. You know Democrats when they support go back two thousand and six, the Secure Fence Act, sixty four Democrats voting for the measure in the House, twenty six in the Senate. All these prominent Democrats that are offering a dollar it's not funny, Well, I will offer a dollar. Is that supposed to be funny? Now we've got them in their own words. We've played some of these before war. But you got to ask yourself. If we have human trafficking and people are dying on both sides of the border, you know what a treacherous journey it is if you're coming from Central America, even with a caravan. Some come without a caravan. They have these coyotes that you pay every penny that you have in the world to bring you up to the border. No guarantee that you get to cross the border. I understand a lot of I'd say ninety eight people want what we all take for granted, liberty and freedom and an opportunity to get a job at a good pace so they can have a better life for themselves and their families. I think that's all that makes perfect sense. But you gotta do it legally, and so, you know, we hear about all of these horrible things that happened on this treacherous journey that people take. You know, we look at the statistics, and this is when here's Nielsen, the Homeland Security Secretary, pointed out to Nancy Pelosi. In two years, there's been four thousand homicides, illegal alien crime statistics, thirty thousand sex crimes, and one hundred thousand crimes involving some type of violent assault. That's all happening against American citizens. It's making our towns and our cities less safe. Ninety percent of heroin is coming from a southern border. That makes our towns and cities less safe. Then you have gun trafficking as well, that's making our towns and cities less safe. These are illegal guns, we're not talking about the legal kind. Then you have human trafficking. I have a case that I'll get into as the program unfolds. Here. Now, if you look at other data of twenty sixteens the last year. We have at fiscal year twenty eighteen, illegal immigration convictions twenty sixteen, well, they represented eighteen percent of all murder sentences in federal prison. They had, let's see, fifty one of seven hundred ninety assault sentences six point five percent, three thousand, five hundred and three drug trafficking sentences eighteen percent of the total. We had twelve hundred and seventy eight drug possession sentences. That's sixty nine percent of the total and seventeen percent of the total of national defense sentences. Now, illegal immigrants account for thirteen percent of all non immigration related federal sentences in twenty sixteen, but they represent three point five percent of the population that is illegal immigrants are set to make up. So three point five percent of the population are committing thirteen percent of the crime, and we're not doing anything to vet the people that want to come into this country. And then you add the murders, and you add all these other crimes and violent crimes associated with it, then human trafficking, and then drug trafficking. You know, it is a national immerge agency. And by the way, the political points out today that support is building among Republicans and conservatives all around the country for the President to declare a national emergency, which he has every right to do and I'll explain later, and begin building the wall using whatever funding that he can find from the Pentagon and other government agencies. And it's not because they actually want the walls, because Republicans now think building the wall is the only way that they can get President Trump to end the government shutdown. Goods, there's a politician that's not a politician. There's somebody that's focused on a promise and on a problem and not putting his finger in the air to decide whether this is good for him politically. He has gone out and he's taken a stand, and it's a stand that he's told everybody about since the first day came down that escalator wall. Street Journal reports today that there's at least thirteen billion dollars in current Pentagon budget that President Trump could legally divert to cover the border and construction costs at the wall. They say if he did that, Democrats would challenging court. That means they'll file in California or Oregon so they can get it to the Ninth Circuit. But there is a potential on an emergency stay. You might be able to bring it directly to the Supreme Court. That is a possibility, remote as it is. Anyway, people will take them to court, and they'll try and tie it up in the courts for as long as they possibly can. You know, we have you know, you would think that Nancy Pelosi and some of these and Chuck Schumer and others, you know, this just broke from last week. Five Mexicans members of the International Rendon Reis trafficking organization. They got prison terms of fifteen to twenty five years, according to the Trump Justice Department announcing this past Monday. Three other defendants set to be sentenced on January fifteen, pled guilty in twenty seventeen and the racketeering, sex trafficking other federal charges following their arrest in Mexico and the United States, where they were residing illegally. The Department of Justice said, they've been doing this for over a decade. You know, but if you look at, for example, what's so frustrating in all of this is all of these people. Let's played all of these democrats and what they said in past years and the way they voted in two thousand and six and two thirteen. I would listen to the people who live along the border, who understand what it is. So this is an area where Senator Clinton and I almost entirely agree. I think that the key is to consult with local community. The American people are a welcoming and generous people, but those who enter our country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we cannot allow people to pour into the US undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws. Well, we have been on the same page on an immigration reform. Our Democratic Caucus has adopted certain principles that relate to securing our borders. Who are talking about do we have a commitment to secure the border? Yes? What are the options that we have available to us, Let's make sure they work well. Look, I voted numerous times when I was a Senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. What they are talking about is completely opening up the border. Should we have a completely open boiler so that anybody can come into the United States of the markets if that were to happen, which I strongly disagree with, there is no question in my mind that that with substantially lower wages in this country, we are committed to ending the waves of illegal immigration that we've seen in the last thirty years. We will accomplish this goal by building a very sturdy, three legged stool of border security, employment, verification, and entry exit. I will now explain what our bill does in each of these areas to prevent future waves of illegal immigration. Make no mistake, our border will be secured as a result of this bill. We appropriate six point five billion dollars upfront in this bill to bolster our security efforts. That is his addition to the annual appropriations made for each year of border security. Before any legalization can even begin, the Secretary of Homeland Security is to require to come up with a plan on how to deploy that four point five billion to acquire new infrastructure, technology, and personnel that will enable the border patrol to catch nine out of ten illegal mimigrants that attempt to cross our border. I'll give you more of the details of their former position. That is Trump's current position and meanwhile, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and unfortunately, violence and death are still occurring. And we can solve the problem if they would go back to their former position, But they just don't want to help the president because it's all hate. Hannity Border Watch Government Shutdown Watch continues. Why pay your hard earned money to join an organization that fought for a government run healthcare system and stood against tax cuts for middle class Americans and small business owners. That's AARP.

Become a member today, Join now at AMAC dot us slash better, AMAC dot us slash better. It's like a who who of Democrats as it relates to them supporting building a border fence. Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Rock Obama, Nancy Pelosi, all of them. Why are they against it? Now? What is it about this time? You know? But Chuck Schumer voted in favor of the two thousand and six twenty thirteen acts. You know, you listen to what Schumer's saying, Yeah, I voted for the fence. Is bragging about voting for the fence. Seven hundred mile of the fence. We have to have a comprehensive immigration reform. Okay, well, now we have an opportunity. But because Donald Trump as president, the very same things they supported they can't support any longer. Now. That is telling me that they're putting politics above the safety and security of the American people. American people in large numbers eighty percent plus want their border secured, their southern border secured, period, and they want it secured. Even sixty four percent of you know, Democrats and independence wanted secured. The president does have the authority to build that wall either way. Question is tonight is he going to invoke the fact that he'll go out on his own, that he'll use defense funds, that he will declare a national emergency, all of which would be applicable in this case. One thing that is not political, it's smoking. That's about people, and there are thirty four million Americans. Now that's smoke. But for many there's not been a clear alternative. Jewel for me has been a game changer. I watch people all the time, they go outside in the middle of the freezing winner just to have their smoke. You don't have to do that anymore. Because of Jewel. Now people don't have to worry about the smell on your hands. Jewel was specifically designed by smokers force smokers to be a satisfying alternative. It's a clean technology. Jewel has no ash, no odor, no mess. If you're one of those thirty four million adults who do smoke, you now know there's an alternative to cigarettes and cigars. Just go to Juwel ju u l dot com slash switch America. That's ju u l dot com slash switch America. Now, this product does contain nicotine, and nicotine is an addictive chemical. But just go to Jewel ju uel dot com slash switch America. Can you promise that the president will tell the truth tonight? What do you tell the truth? Guess, Jamon? Can you promise if you will whole nothing about the trans you guys problem, brother, make sure that goes viral. Okay, this is why, By the way, this is time. The only people around here today and maybe truly get back in your face because you're such a smart ass list of the time, and I name it to the viral. A lot of these people will like you. But let me just be respectful to the media. Bit large sale again. I explained that with alternative your condition and shut back, and I explained it many times, and don't you put it back in my face for all the time. Rectus at your I was living there twenty five or twenty six and the last people here and we would bother to go on. And he disrespected, he showed you personally. I'll just live. I gotta love Kelly An. Then I exchange with fake news Jim Acosta. Where were we go? We go into the mediaite party and I saw a Costa in front of us. I was gonna go introduce myself, but then somebody grabbed my attention. Hey Jimmy, what's up? How's fake news? They just you know, watch him buzz. But you know what, you were very very nice to fake news when we were over in Europe during the Russia summit. Yeah, what did I do? And we were in Finland and our entire five and you guys were eating reindeer. Oh no, I wasn't okay. A lot of people at that table were eating some of them all. Listen, I don't eat rudolph, uh raw rudolf. Yeah, well, it's a staple in Filan to eat indeer. You didn't have any I didn't I did not have Well, you, mister altdoorsman, didn't have any raw Rudolf. I didn't want any raw Rudolph. I wanted raw cow. That's you know. It wasn't raw, but medium rare is perfect. H What were you going to say, Sunshine? I'm sorry? Are you ready for me? I'm ready for you? Yes? Oh? You people interrupting me? So when are you taking the Christmas dec this guy? First of all, it's red, white and blue themed. It's America. It's patriotism all day long, and it's on my side of the glass. Okay, all right, what did you want to say? So? I was gonna say that even though they have been so horrible to so many of us on the right, and our tables were side by side. I'm sorry, Okay, no, no, I remember now was I talking? Go ahead? Tell us you're impossible. All I get to the point I would accept that. It takes me five minutes of digression because you won't stop talking over me. So you did something very nice, and you bought that table lots of wine. He took care of some of their bill. You're very sweet, despite the fact that all the time that they're not very nice and rolled their eyes and and you were over high. How are you so gracious? I was like, Wow, it's not personal for me. The fact that they're horrible at their job is not personal for me. You know, you've decided to agree to disagree and not make it personal. It's not anybody that takes shots at me. I don't care. It's not personal, you know, like some people like there are some people I really don't like, like Jimmy Kimmel. I just think is a jackass. And but I don't like that he attacks women, especially Malania, who speaks English as her fifth language, and he's mocking her reading a book to kids, which I think is just you know, you know, just a just a pathetic, cheap shot. And what we forced them to apologize. And I would get in that fight in two seconds again and just keep hashtagging Disney, hashtag Disney, hashtag Disney, hashtag Bob Biger and make sure that you know his bosses are aware of what a jackass he is. But you know, I don't want to. I'm not in the business of trying to get people fired. But I was making a pretty good point there. When we had fights with I think I was fighting with Bett Middler one time when I used to fight on Twitter, right, and a bunch of other people. I don't care about them. I don't want them to like me. You know, when I go, I don't go to those events. I've never been to a White House correspondence dinner. I only went to one Christmas party during the Bush years, and I was invited to go this year. I was never invited during the Obama years, and I never wanted to go, And I honestly, I don't think I really wanted to interview Obama because it's they give you fifteen minutes, you get three questions, he fillips, and every time you try to interrupt them, everyone says you're rude. So it's you have to respect the office. So it becomes a pretty impossible task to do it in a respectful way, especially for somebody like me. And I've got I got a lot of questions for him. I'd need a couple hours. I'd love to have Acascio Cortesca on the program. Have you called her office yet? Well, I figure she's not willing to, uh, you know, debate anybody. She was tweeting out about me last night I know, I know. Facts are you know, they're merely incidental. What really matters is your moral ground. Facts are just a sidebar to you know, how you feel in your heart. Well, that's what she's saying, and this is going to become. Look the civil war that is brewing within the Democratic Party. All the talk is about discord within Republican ranks because of Donald Trump's style. It's not about policy. Most Republicans support tax cuts. Most Republicans like the job creation. We now have nearly five million new jobs since this man's been elected president. Record low unemployment for people that have been left behind. We always called it the forgotten men and women. Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, African Americans are vets are getting back to work in greater numbers than we've seen in decades. Youth unemployment is at what a sixty five year low. This is all opportunities for the American people. And I'll tell you those that are skittish on the stock market, that's fine. I'm not a big stock market guy, but that's not impacting most Americans. I mean, most people have a four or one K, but it's not money. You're gonna need in the next ten years, and you don't have to worry about it. If it's money you need in the near future, it shouldn't be in the stock market. You should have it in something a lot safer. Maybe you're only growing two three four percent a year. But the bottom line is, wait till we get the pipelines online. Way do we get the equipment in and war and we start drilling there. Wait till we really start digging down and extracting all the natural gas that we have. We're gonna we are literally on the precipice if we do this right, and this is our only shot while he's president, because you know, look at Acasio Cortez and her you know, Green Deal, Green New Deal, which they don't want any use of any fossil fuels. We now have surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer. Thank you, Donald Trump. How many decades it's been since that's happened. I don't know. If you go to at least in New York, and they have pretty significant New York gas taxes, but I paid less than I think I paid, like two forty a gallon this weekend I mean we were up to like eighty we were aheaded eighty five bucks a barrel, and it's come down significantly. We have more natural gas than and more oil, more clean burning cold than the entire industrialized world. That means that people like that live in Germany should stop making Russia and Putin rich. And they ought to be buying the lifeblood of their economy, their energy from the United States. We just have to figure out a better way to get it across the pond, so we can get it to them and do it in a way that's inexpensive. Otherwise you have a hostile actor of Vladimir Putin in a hostile nation Russia, and just look at what they did with Ukraine and Crimea. And that wouldn't make me feel good if seventy percent of the lifeblood of mine economy was dependent on that. But this is where the Democratic Party's going. I mean, Acascio quartet is the Green New Deal. You know what, The estimated cost of this is forty trillion dollars in its first ten to fifteen years. You know what. The goal is to remove America from all fossil fuels by the year twenty thirty. It's an unmitigated disaster. It would result in poverty, It would result in lost jobs, lost productivity GDP. We wouldn't have the money for any of this, just like her thirty two trillion dollars Medicare for all policies. But nobody in the media is going over how absolutely cost prohibitive. All of this is when has government done anything right that it instills confidence in you? I mean, for all the Americans, you know, all the liberals, he got Gavin Newsom and Andrew Cuomo, and Acasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. They want socialism. Well, Cortez said, she wants a seventy percent tax pracket. Seventy percent All right, Well, let me start here. The bottom fifty percent of wage earners pay less than three percent of the income tax bills in this country. The top twenty percent pay almost ninety So twenty percent of Americans pay ninety percent of the bill. Now, if you take that money from them and you confiscate it visa vie high tax rates or the threat of a jail cell raising its seventy cents, no, you know, all the you have a mass exodus out of New York New Jersey, California, all these high tax states they're leaving. All these people are leaving for better weather, lower taxes, affordable living, nicer homes. Everything's better, you know. And people got mad at me. They said, Hannity, you're talking about well, rich people won't buy boats. No, rich people won't go to restaurants because they won't have the money. Rich people won't invest in companies. That means they're not going to hire people. Rich people are not going to remodel their homes. They're not going to build new homes. Who benefits the contractor, the electrician, the plumber, the carpenters. They're the ones that benefit when rich people spend money on their own The car manufacturers all of a sudden, well, maybe I'm gonna hang on to that old clunker for another five years because I can't afford another new home because government's taking a bigger portion of my income every every year. They don't understand freedom, free markets. They want equal results. Freedom doesn't equal equal results. And they're gonna cater to people and they're gonna say, well, we're gonna give you your healthcare for the rest of your life. So Gavin Newsom was out there saying out in California, you know first he said, you know, well, first he got confronted over the murder of officers, saying you're gonna protester blamed him for the death. Well, the policies of sanctuary stayed out there helped that, and he vows sanctuary to all who seek it. That's what Gavin Newsom offered. Then he's pushing sweeping new California healthcare plan to help illegal immigrants. He's offering free healthcare to anybody in California. I'll take that as an invitation if you get sick, my advice is consider going to California. You'll get all your bills paid for by Gavinussom. Let him pay for it. And but that is a socialist mindset. That is what this put beliefs somehow like the government Obamacare, keep your doctor, keep your plan, and save money. Well, you have more options than ever before. There are more counties in this country now that have one option one. And we've watched and witnessed increases since what it was passed in two thousand and nine, one hundred two hundred three hundred, four hundred percent for inferior care. I mean, how how did that, keep your doctor thing, work out, keep your plan and save money. What does government do well well? I think I would add the military to that. We have the best military on the face of the earth. What else do they do well for people? Well, we do have a safety net. Okay, I'm not for taking away a safety net, but we certainly want a safety net that also hands people a ladder so that they can pull themselves up and find their talents in a free society and contribute to others and produce goods and services that people want, need and desire. But you've got now, this is the far left, radical Democratic Party. This is what they're proposing. It is nothing that this country could ever sustain. And they don't want us to keep the energy, which is the lifeblood of our economy. We could be on the precipice here of truck drivers in the oil industry making one hundred and fifty grand a year. And I'm not making these numbers up. These are real jobs in North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma and elsewhere. Once you get the pipelines done, once we really dig down and get into the natural gas industry, and then of course an war is now open. That's gonna be millions of high paying career jobs for Americans, and those Americans then can afford to buy a new house, a new truck, live in a safe neighborhood, send their kids to better schools. All of that's gonna you know, that's gonna it's all gonna be a benefit for them. But we can't even get Democrats to be consistent on a simple issue like they were in two thousand and sick, build that wall. It sounded like Trump. Twenty thirteen, Build that wall. Now they sounded like Trump then now Trump wants it. We're not building the wall. The walls racist, The wall is immoral. What is immoral about building a wall that stops drugs from coming into your country, that stops criminal aliens from coming into your country, potential terrorists from coming In reality, it's not an immorality or potential terrorists from coming into your country. And then I'm not humanizing the people that want a better life. Unlike most of my colleagues in the media, I've took the time to go down there. We'll be down at the wall later this week. We're going to be in Texas on Thursday as the President goes out and takes a look at himself and the president will be addressed in the country tonight. All right, we're gonna go over the legality. Does the president have the right to declare a national emergency? He does. Greg Jard will break it down for you. Next, have you considered using emergency powers to grant yourself authorities to build this wall without congressional approval? And second on a hexago you have? Yes, I have, and I can do it if I want, so, you don't need congressional approval to build we can use them. Absolutely we can call a national emergency because of the security of our country. Absolutely, No, we can do it. I haven't done it. I may do it. I may do it. But we could call a national emergency and build it very quickly. And it's another way of doing it. But if we can do it through a negotiated process, we're giving that a shot. All right, our two Sean Hannity's show eight hundred nine for one, Shawn, if you want to be a part of the program, it shouldn't really be a big question at all in terms of and we now have even Democrats acknowledging and admitting that the president can declare a national emergency. I've gone over the facts and the figures and the amount of crimes, number of crimes that are taking place. But the president does have that constitutional right to do so. It's the National Emergencies Act of nineteen seventy six. It allows the President to trigger emergency powers conferred on him. It has been in place in various forms for more than one hundred and fifty years. When Americans are dying and ninety percent of our heroine is coming up through our southern border, and human trafficking is killing innocent young children and women, and that's part of these statistics that we've been giving out, then one might make the argument that it's a national emergency and a severe one of that. All right, Here to look at the legal aspects of this is the author of the number one New York Times bestseller of the Russia Hoax. Fox News legal analysts Greg Jarrett. You know again, I watched some of these lawyers and I'm like, where did they Where did they go to get their law degrees? Yeah, you know, you're absolutely right. In fact, I was listening to one legal analyst earlier today who said, well, the president can't do this because Congress and others might disagree with him that it's a national emergency. That is just flat out wrong. Congress, as you pointed out in seventy six, vested authority and the president to decide when a national emergency might be declared, and it gives him greater authority sean to take actions that he might otherwise be constrained to take. And so the President all he does is notified Congress that there is an emergency, and he can go further. He can cite specific statutes that he intends to utilize. One of them is literally it's ten usse twenty eight oh eight emergency powers to construct any unauthorized construction. That's his strongest specific statute beyond the National Emergency Act. But there are three others that he could use. He could direct the Secretary of the Army, he could direct the Secretary of Defense, and he could employ the Secure Fences Act of two thousand and six that empowers the Homeland Security to build a physical barrier enhancement along our southern border. Remember that's an act that was voted for in favor by Barack Obama was a Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, all four of them when they were senators in two thousand and six voted in favor of that. So you will there be a judicial channel with somebody file a lawsuit. Of course they will. Every time the President sneezes or costs he sued. Judges are not permitted to substitute their own thinking in judgment in deciding what constitutes an emergency. Congress conferred that authority specifically on the president in nineteen seventy six, and in fact, there are still thirty one states of emergency still in effect, dating all the way back to President Carter in his state of emergency on Iran back in nineteen eighty. So we have two instances in modern political history and many of the same players. In two thousand and six, the Secure Fence Act passed with bipartisan support. That was to construct a wall physical barriers seven hundred miles of the nearly two thousand mile US Mexico border, and sixty four Democrats voted for the measure in the House, twenty six in the US Senate. Chuck Schumer, he voted for it, Hillary Clinton voted for it, Joe Biden voted for it. Barack Obama voted for it. Praised the bill and saying it would do some good and help stem some of the tide of illegal immigration in this country. And then in twenty thirteen, all Senate Democrats most house back in the House, back the Comprehensive Immigration or Form legislation and the so called Gang of Eight bill, and that included forty six billion dollars forty border security eight billion to repair or reinforce barriers along the seven hundred miles of the border as required under the Secure Fence Act. And the twenty thirteen Immigration Bill had been signed in the law, you know, that would have ramped up, you know, enforcement at that time. So the reality is, why had they changing? Why is it now immorl is it immral only because Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi they don't want to give the president a win, especially in light of officers Singh being murdered in part because of sanctuaries state laws out in California. Or you know, I had on the parents of this young man, Pierce Corkrane. My heart was broken for them, killed by an illegal immigrant Knoxville, Tennessee. He might otherwise have been alive. This guy was in the country fourteen years and in the criminal justice system. So at what point do these people, you know, get called out for this hypocrisy of theirs because it's all over the place. Well, you're exactly right in outgoing Governor Jerry Brown, you know, said, oh, the death of officers Singh had nothing to do with our sanctuary laws. At least he's wrong. It had everything to do with their sanctuary laws. But you're right about Democrats in Congress that the only reason they oppose the construction of a wall is because Donald Trump advocates it. If it were Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden or any of the other senators, including Schumer, who have advocated in the past for such a construction, why of course they wouldn't be all in favor of it. But this is about not wanting to help Donald Trump get reelected, not wanting to give him a political victory and a promise that he vowed to voters who put him into office. So it's about personality and not policy. And that's the simple answer. Well, let me, I think their own words, you know, make the stronger case than I could make, or you could even make. And that is their past support for the wall. Listen, I would listen to the people who live along the border, who understand what it is. Well, this is an area where Senator Clinton and I almost entirely agree. I think that the key is to consult with local community. The American people are a welcoming and generous people, but those who enter our country legally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we cannot allow people to pour into the US undetected, documented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws. Well, we have been on the same page or an immigration reform. Our Democratic Caucus has adopted certain principles that relate to securing our borders. Who are talking about do we have a commitment to secure the border? Yes? What are the options that we have available to us, Let's make sure they work well. Look, I voted numerous times when I was a Senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. What they are talking about is completely opening up the border. Should we have a completely open border so that anybody can come into the United States? Of America if that were to happen, which I strongly disagree with. There is no question in my mind that that with substantially lower wages in this country, we are committed to ending the waves of illegal immigration that we've seen in the last thirty years. We will accomplish this goal by building a very sturdy three leg stool of border security, employment, verification, and entry exit. I will now explain what our bill does in each of these areas to prevent future waves of illegal immigration. Make no mistake, our border will be secured as a result of this bill. We appropriate six point five billion dollars upfront in this bill to bolster our security efforts. That is his addition to the annual appropriations made for each year of border security. Before any legalization can even begin, the Secretary of Homeland Security is to require to come up with a plan on how to deploy that four point five billion to acquire new infrastructure, technology, and personnel that will enable the border patrol to catch nine out of ten illegal immigrants that attempt to cross our border. Believable. I mean, how do you go from there to? Its immoral? And we'll give you a dollar. You know, one of the things I said when I came back. It's not going to take long for the American people to realize they're not they're working for the American people, their agenda. They're so fixated hating Donald Trump they're even willing to turn around completely on an issue as important as border security, and things have gotten worse. I mean, I've been giving out the numbers to everybody that will ever listen. But when you've got the numbers of people that we have victims of murder and rape, and then the drug trafficking, human trafficking, potential terrorism crossing, the terrorists crossing that border, I don't think there's any more important issue. Well, you're right, and by the way, you and your staff are to be commended for coming up, doing your research and coming up with those sound bites, the comments, the advocacy in favor of enhanced border security and indeed construction of a barrier, so it lays bare. They're acute hypocrisy. If this, if it were a President Clinton right now, all of those individuals that we just heard from would be falling all over themselves to build a wall. But because I want to go over this, because this is what's going to happen if let's say, the President and more and more people as you look at it, they're looking at four thousand homicides in a two year period, thirty thousand sex crimes, one hundred thousand crimes of violence and assault. All right, So Americans are watching this, they see what's happening. They know ninety percent of the heroin comes from across the southern border. And I think the American people are saying, enough is enough, and I'm gonna We watched the Democrats and they don't want to give him anything. So I think at some point that backfires against them quickly. Yeah, you're absolutely right. I can't think of a greater national emergency at the moment other than fighting terrorism, than preventing needless deaths due to the opioid as well as the heroine crisis, not to mention crimes of violence committed by those who are coming here illegally. This is a national state of emergency. The President should so invoke it. I agree. We'll come back talk more about the legal aspect of all this as we continue with our friend Greg Jarrett number one bestseller, The Russia Hoax, which we'll be getting back to in the course of this year, I promise we have Cabot Phillips, the media director for Campus Reform, conducting a really great experiment exposing the misinformation of the left regarding immigration. As we continue our top story Hannity Watch on the shutdown, Hannity Watch on the Borders, and as we continue with Greg Jarrett, author of The Russia Hoax, number one New York Times bestseller Rumors. By the way, I saw you work in the other day in your office, and you're pounded away like maybe volume two is about to come out at some point. That's what I was thinking when I walked by your office. That's a pretty good rumor. I have, in fact started working on a second volume, because so much has happened since The Russia Hoax went to print in June of last year. And you well know, because you've covered it almost nightly. The lies of James Cummy that had now come to the four, the bias of Peter Struck and Lisa Page discovered by the Inspector General. I mean, the list goes on and on, and of course the story is not done yet. We're going to get a new Attorney General, and the big unknown question is is he going to enforce the laws of the land. If he does, then all the people that we have exposed as having committed crimes lying to fies a court, judges committing frauds there and those that put a fix in in an investigation with Hillary, and obstruction of justice and the Espionage Act. If we have equal justice under the law and application of the laws, all those names we mentioned, they should be in serious legal jeopardy and these will not be process crimes. All right. Last question on the wall, though, is there any obstacle because I assume the Democrats they're going to go judge shopping. They'll file in California or in Oregon, knowing that the appeal will go to the Ninth Circuit, and the Ninth Circuit often what eighty percent of the time they get overturned by the Supreme Court. But I don't think that matters. They're buying themselves time. Right. In order to file a proper lawsuit, there would have to be some underlying constitutional violation of rights, not simply a disagreement about discretion, presidential discretion and policy. And so anybody who files a lawsuit opposing what we expect to be the president invoking national emergency Act would be It's an uphill battle for them because, as I mentioned before, we don't allow judges to substitute their own thinking in judging in deciding what constitutes an emergency. Is there a fast path if it's a national emergency declared by the President to get this straight to the Supreme Court, and it'd be fast tracking. Always file an expedited appeal. But I'm not sure you could construct the wall faster than it would be to litigate the case. So you know, the President should invoke it and order construction as soon as possible. All Right, Greg Jared, author of the number one best selling book The Russia Hoax. Thank you, sir. When we come back, we'll continue more on our top story. We had a really huge fight with Raldo last night on Hannity on the Fox News channel. He's going to join us with Jonathan Gillham as well as Cabin Phillips of Campus Reform, as they exposed misinformation being pedaled to kids in school about immigration. They're trying to like indoctrinate little leftist and socialists. So the next generation of Acasio Cortez can make it to Congress. Wow, how are we ever going to afford her? Quick break right back. We'll continue have a flaw in the system, and there needs to be a recall. There needs to be a do over. Just say, look, we didn't foresee all of this, and we need to stop the conveyor belt and stop the manufacturer and look and see what that problem is and take control of it. The government owes us that, all of us, any person that's here paying their taxes and doing what they're supposed to be doing and imbiden by the law, the government owes them that. I think because it so deeply impacts both of you, I think you have more of a right than anybody else haven't been impacted by this to give us your thoughts. How would you like the solved. I mean, I think that my father told me one time. He said, a lock, a door, a wall will keep an honest person out. If a criminal or somebody that wants to do something harm or do something illegal, they'll find a way in the wall. Will stop some people from just coming over. But I think there needs to be something in place that's gonna being deterrent, be a deterrent. We had some friends over that we're talking to us, and they said that maybe we're looking at it wrong. You know, instead of punishing the people that are coming here trying to get a better life, to maybe start punishing the people that are employing them and enabling them and exploiting them and using them to their financial advantage, to maybe start finding those people. All right, twenty four now until the top of the hour, eight hundred ninety one, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. In two weeks, we have lost two great Americans. We lost officers sing He was just five month old. Little boy will never grow up with or remember his home father. And once again, sanctuary policies prevented us from doing what the law requires. Federal law requires, and that is okay, you caught, you commit a crime, do you do your time. If they didn't aid and abet these alien criminals, that means they would have been picked up by ice, they would have been deported to their home country, and there could be a very strong likelihood that that police officers seeing would be alive today. Last night I interviewed the parents of Pierce Cochrane. I mean, they're devastated because there's twenty year old son, great looking kid. He had a future that would have been incredible for his life, but he got killed by a fourteen year illegal immigrant that never tried to get legal, that had been in the legal justice system also and had never been deported. And this keeps happening. You know, the question that people are asking here is, well, President Trump, will he declare a national emergency? Well, that's just part of it. Now. We have just going over the numbers. In the years sixteen and seventeen, we've had four thousand homicides when you look at illegal alien crime and the briefings that have been handed out by the Department of Homeland Security, four thousand homicides, thirty thousand sex crimes, on over one hundred thousand acts of violence by illegal immigrants in this country illegally. If you look at twenty sixteen data, well, illegal immigrants accounted for thirteen percent of all nonimmigration related sentences in fiscal year twenty sixteen. Their population is three point five percent, so they have fifteen of eighty four murder sentences eighteen percent total, that three point five percent of the population. And on top of that, recent study Center for Immigration Studies points out the average illegal immigrant in terms of the cost to our criminal justice system, healthcare system, and our educational system is costing we the American people, over seventy thousand dollars a year person. Now we've got a crisis at our border, and the President is saying, and I believe he's arguing for the right things, we have to build the barrier. We have to build a wall. I don't care if it's still and I don't care if it's concrete, and the government remains shut down. As the Democrats, they couldn't even show up with a meeting with the Vice President of the United States. I guess they were too busy and they sent their aids and they think they're being cute and they think they're being funny. Oh, we'll offer you a dollar. Well, we've gone back and we've looked at the history every one of these Democrats. In two thousand and six and two thirteen, they were all sounding like Donald Trump and signing on to bills to build seven hundred miles of wall. Now they're calling in I moral, Well, that's playing politics with the lives of people. Then I can add the drug dealing that goes on and the drug trafficking that happens. Ninety percent of heroin is coming up through our southern border. Well, that's three hundred dead Americans a week. Well that's more than at the height of the killing of American soldiers in Vietnam in nineteen sixty eight, the worst year of the war. Well, if that's not a national emergency, I don't know what is now. Haraldo Rivera was on Hannity last night. We had a pretty big fight over this whole thing. And I love you, my brother, you're my friend. I'd love you. But you know, this is not the Republicans problem anymore. Donald Trump has offered everything you want him to offer. They won't even show up and sit down. They won't even talk to the president. They won't even sit down with the Vice president of the United States. They want to abolishize, they offer a dollar and now we have a dead officer and a dead twenty two year old kid named Pierce Cochrane. You know what this has got to stop. HOERLDO secure the border. Yes, of course, And I don't disagree with anything you've just said in a very eloquent and impassioned statement that you've just made in the way you care for and treat the families of the victims of the documented of the illegal immigrants I think is you're the best in the business at it. But both of us are friends with each other, but also with the presidents of the United States. He has a daunting task tonight because, as you explain, Sean, the Democrats are being totally obstructed this. They've made it almost a game, this whole issue of the wall. So this is this is my advice to my friends, as you and I would totally understand if he declared a national emergence, if he believes that that's the route that he has to take. I just urge one thing for both you and the president. Youore and I think it's very important that the president, because he knows as a businessman, he has dealt with these people, the undocumented for decades. Other you know, we see them. They're everywhere, over ten million, most of them here for more than ten years. If the President in tonight's remarks to humanity of this population and says he understands why they want to come here, if he couches it more in a compassionate tone, then he can get to the tough stuff. Then he can bring up the awful examples of crimes committed in other dangerous posed by by the popular although every time you and I've debated, I've conceded it's ninety eight or ninety nine percent. And I'm pretty convinced. People see what America has to offer. They live in poverty, they have no hope, no opportunity whatsoever, and they want a chance for a better life for them and their kids. I'm all for the door to be open, just we have to check you out, and you also have to be able to care for yourself when you're here. You shouldn't be relying on the American taxpayers if you come into our country. So well true, but you know how hard this population works because you see them. We have more than a million in New York since since I was a kid, since I was a kid working in restaurants. I of course, of course, if they if you wash an edition in a restaurant, the likelihood is in you your shoulder to shoulder with someone who's here illegally. If you mowed a lawn here in America. Same thing if you've cared for a baby, same thing if you process. But the president is offered to talk about DHAKA, Lindsey Graham put out a proposal about but I'm saying, but the President offered this before the election. He's willing to talk about the dreamers. Democrats they won't sit down and even have a discussion. And it gets worse than that, Haraldo, because I can play you tapes of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and every Democrat now that's saying a wall is immoral. They're all on tape saying that we need to protect our southern borders. And in two thousand and six and two thousand and thirteen almost all of them voted for a fence along the southern border twenty five billion dollars worth. I hear the twenty five billions. It's still trump change relative to the whole scope of the nation's wealth and dead and costs and all the rest of it. It's not I don't think the money is the issue. But why you just said reminded me that the deputy Communications White House Communications Director used to be our boss. He is still our friend, Bill Shine. What I would love is if Bill put together for the president a montage of exactly what you just said. Soho Barack Obama talking about the fencing and the wall and the barrier, so Chuck Schumer doing that the President addresses the nation unprecedented. Just picture this, He's in the Oval office. He makes that statement that you just made that you'll convince ninety eight ninety nine percent here because they want a better life for themselves and their children. But there's a problem, and you know there are criminals in this MS. Thirteen and points. Do you get to the dark stuff? But then, but I wanted, ladies and gentlemen, as I address you as President of the United States, listen into this Jill button and on video we see Barack Obama saying you've got to enhance security. You need to watch my show a little more, Haraldo, because I've been playing it. I'm playing it here. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws. Well, we have been on the same page or an immigration reform. Our Democratic Caucus has adopted certain principles that relate to securing our borders. We're talking about, do we have a commitment to secure the border. Yes. Look, I voted numerous times when I was a Senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. What they are talking about is completely opening up the border. Should we have a completely open border so that anybody can come into the United States of the markets if that were to happen, which I strongly disagree, We appropriate six point five billion dollars upfront in this bill to bolster our security efforts. That is his addition to the annual appropriations made for each year of border security. Before any legalization can even begin, the Secretary of Homeland Security is to require to come up with a plan on how to deploy that four point five billion to acquire new infrastructure, technology, and personnel that will enable the border patrol to catch nine out of ten illegal immigrants that attempt to cross our border. We want the president to do what you do every night. I don't think that's a bad idea. And right after he speaks, I'll play it all right, quick break more with Horaldo and Jonathan Gillham on the other side. Right as we continue with Horaldo and Jonathan Gillham, let me bring in Jonathan here to me. This is now a matter of life and death, and it is an emergency, and I think the President, by every measure, has the authority. We've gone over the legal aspects of that, and I don't know if he's going to declare that tonight or not. But at some point, if the Democrats dig in their heels and don't seem to care about the drugs coming across the border, the human trafficking aspect of this, they don't seem to care about the crimes that are committed by that two percent to come into the country, then somebody's got to protect the country. The borders are laws and respect for our sovereignty. Bottom line here is that what we're starting to see, and I think Carolda would agree with this, is that we have an immigration problem. But immigration and the problem we have with it is really a symptom of the politics that are involved in stopping from doing anything effective. I mean, that's that's the bottom line. Now we see this. Now we have liberals that are saying enough is enough because they're tired of it, and the Democrat Party really is has become this has become a game, and their obstructionists and stopping effective solutions from being carried out. And I think that is everybody now sees the real cancer and the immigration problem we have is the cough that's caused by this cancer immigration. I worked as a seal in Central South America. We saw the problem of how bad their life is there. We saw why they would want to come to the United States. I get all that, and we also saw the problem at the border. We knew it was coming with terrorists. We saw that. I was down there doing counter drug, counter narcotic operations. We saw it, and nobody was doing anything to stop it. But just like the VA, all they do is talk about it. Well, at some point they bear some of the culpability of the dying and the death and the drugs and the human trafficking. Absolutely, especially with sanctuary states, and we have criminal aliens in our jails, and as a matter of law out in California, you don't call in you aid in a bet future law breaking because you don't call in Ice to deport them. Haral though that's wrong because now you're putting Americans at risk with known criminals, some of them very violent. Thing. The problem correct, But I think the problem the president faces if you start getting into a debate on sanctuary cities and sanctuary states and you start making the federal government against the Democrat controlled states. I don't think that's a winner for the president. I do think that you've got to combine toughness with compassion. Jonathan describes very vividly an accurate poutry. I remember I was in the the Latin American correspondent for ABC News. I saw that up closing personal Also, are these are a needy poor people living next door to the colossus, living next door to the United States, the richest country on Earth. Of course they're going to try, as you and I and Jonathan. I gotta take a break. But quick response from Jonathan because I'm sure changing him here, go ahead. I just think you know everybody's right here speaking on this radio show right now. But the problem is when we say that the United States is the richest country. You know, I grew up with nothing. I grew up poor. I didn't have a handout. And we're not even looking at that. We're not even looking at the people in this country that are in need. We're simply talking about immigration and whether people should be able to come in or come out. First thing we need to do is set up an organized system to allow people to come in and then we can start taking care of people. All right, Gotta take a break. More with ERLDO, more with Jonathan Gillham. On the other side, eight hundred nine four one seawn if you want to be a part of this extravaganza. Also at the top of the hour, where do you see what happens on a college campus? And well, if they think something is said by Trump versus a Democrat, it's pretty amazing. Coming up next our final news round up and information Overload hour, gonna read a few quotes here from President Trump talking about the need for the southern border wall. First quote, we should spend money to build a barrier to prevent illegal inmigrations from coming. In another quote, we simply cannot allow people to pour into the US undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Quote. Illegal immigration is wrong, planet simple. Until the American people are convinced we will stop future flows of legal immigration, will make no progress. When you hear quotes like that, what's your reaction to them? It's divisive? Um, I think America is a land of opportunity, place for inclusion. I just really think it's a kind of hateful speech in general. It's just a negative message, Like all when he talks about illegal immigrants, it's just one rude like to talk about people like that kind of underlies a lot of things about like discrimination and people when they're prejudice prejudices and things like that. So I feel like that stuff is touchy to talk about. If there are racial biases kind of sort of defenbedded in there. In a word, i'd say it's more jingoist. Well, I think it's a mean, it's overall, it's just unacceptable. I think just the way that he's referring to people across the wall is very dehumanizing. So rhetoric like that it's not helpful. No, not at all. What if I told you these were from Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton? How about that? Really? Really? Oh wow? I mean yeah, Democrats and Republicans said things about border control. That's interesting. I didn't think that. Uh, that's that's interesting. Yeah, what's surprised me? It's true. Well then do you can you tell me which ones they were? Respectably? But that's a that's a very good surprise. By the way. Um, if it's were a Trump quote, I believe it would be a lot more um, maybe a lot less calculated. They I don't know, they just they wouldn't say like say that. I feel like they did. It's like their demeanor is like the way they come off is like, I don't even know what to say. I'm not surprised. Why is that? Well, because I mean, I mean, I guess I'm a little older than most of the college I'm twenty I'm a graduate student. I'm twenty six, and so I remember, you know, Clinton's administration and what they did with immigration, and what the Democrats stance was then. So I think it's kind of interesting. Isn't that amazing? Donald Trump says it's that's graceful, it's sorbo oh, I'm sorry, we just told you it was Donald Trump that said it, but it was really Hillary and old Am and Biden and oh Schumer and all the Democratic phony hypocrites because they'd all set it themselves and years gone by. But now now the border doesn't need the wall, Donald Trump wants it, therefore they can't have it. Well, does that put the safety in security of we the people ahead of their political agenda? I don't think so. If they believe that we needed a border on our southern border and a wall built, and they were willing to fund it back in the day, not that long ago, both in two thousand and six and two thou and thirteen. Why are they against it now? Why is it immoral now? When we've got more crime, more drugs, more trafficking, more potential terrorists, gang members that were identifying that want to come across the border again, not talking about the people that want a better life for themselves and their families. We're not, you know, well though, they need to come in legally. Also, we need to be able to vet them. Once we vet them, We've also that they need to prove to us that they are able to take care of themselves. We can't put the burden of visitors, healthcare and visitors education on the backs of the American people. And if they can do that, then I think we absolutely are glad to have people from wherever they come from anyway joining us now. Is Cabot Phillips. He is the media director for Campus Reform dot org. This was done. Those questions were asked at American University, very revealing. How many kids did you ask about? We were out there all afternoons books about fifteen students. That was before some of the school administrators came over and kicked us off campus and said, you guys cannot be here. They asked who we're with We told them campus reform and they said, nope, get off our campus, are not allowed here. I think they were aware of the fact that we may have been exposing some of the twisted mindsets at many of the students there house on campus. And sadly, it's almost hard to blame these students for coming out and saying, well, you know these are horrible racis. Oh well, hang on a second. How can you say that they feel one way about a statement but only if Donald Trump says it, and they feel another way about the statement if one of their beloved Democrats say it, and when they get called out on it, how is that a bad thing? Because if it's a this is an institution of higher learning, this is an opportunity for them to learn that maybe they've got a political bias in their thinking, and maybe it would make them more open minded in the future. Absolutely, I figured, if the professors are not going to teach students both sides of the discussion in class, if they're just going to push one mindset, maybe I can go to campus and enlighten the students on what's going on. And I say, it's almost hard to blame them, because these students, many of them. They're just following the lead of what their professors are telling them, what Nancy Pelosi is telling them, what they're single the mainstream, and so they truly believe that anything involving Donald Trump it has to be evil. So they don't do their own research. They hear Donald Trump and they think, I have to come out against this. And so these students the second I gave them the quote, they said, well, it's Donald Trump. It must be evil and horrible and racist, and so of course they're going to come out against it. They have to prove themselves. And I think to blame for this type of thinking really does come down to college professors, what they're teaching, how biased they are in class, the mainstream media, and people like Nancy Pelosi that are saying border security is immoral, Well, it's funny. They weren't saying that back in the day when they were willing to fund the border wall, and they were making the same case. Now when you call these students out and you finally, you know, the payoff comes out and you said, well, sorry, Donald Trump didn't say it, Hillary said it, or Joe Biden said it, or Obama said it, or Pelosi said it. Do do they acknowledge that it's only political for them, or do they deny that truth and reality? They of course come out and they could never believe that anyone they look up to, being the Obamas and the Clintons, could possibly have seen something at this. They say, well, there must be a different context that I just don't know, or these words must be out of context. And what they don't understand is that just a few years ago, border security we could all agree on was a good thing, illegal immigration was a dangerous in for our country. But I think this shows just how quickly to shift has happened, and on college campuses and really for young people in general and on the left. Right now, the narrative around immigration is that you're either pro open border, pro illegal immigration, or you are anti immigrant. They have not allowed any middle ground. We've covered this non stop at the leadership institutes, campus or Bornhout and classrooms. That's the mindset. You either have to support open borders or you are anti immigrant. And so students are you in doctrine and with this idea? And so I do think people they assume the absolute worst about anyone on the right, and they assume the absolute best from anyone in the left. Unbelievable. Well, great work. We're very proud to announce that we're going to be doing a lot of projects with Campus Reformed this year, both on radio and TV. You guys have done amazing work and we look forward to working with you as the year progresses. And I think some of the tapes that you are getting exposes a lot of hypocrisy on these campuses. You know, campuses are supposed to be about the free and open exchange of ideas and opinions and thought, but there's not a lot of free thought on a lot of college campuses. If you are a conservative, you're treated one way. If you're a liberal, you're treated another way. And oftentimes conservative speakers are run out of town and they're not even allowed to speak on college campuses. All right, Cabot, thank you, look forward to seeing you. Thanks so much, Son, keep up the good work. Eight hundred ninety four one sewn toll free telephone number you want to be a part of the program. Jeffrey is in Long Island, New York. Long Island has a big problem with MS thirteen gangs out there in different parts of Long Island, and the opioid up demick has spread dramatically, according to law enforcement friends that I have, both in Nassau and Suffolk County. Yeah, I'm from Suffolk, and yes, that is a huge problem. At one point last year, I think they said fourteen out of the sixteen homicides were related to I'm at thirteen, but I was. I wanted to call about the woman. I wanted to point out something nobody is saying. I keep hearing the left saying it's going to be a waste of money, it's not going to work, a waste of money. But it's five billion dollars that's going to go to American workers that are going to use American steel, that are going to use American concrete, They're going to require chucks, they're gonna nese fuel all of this five billion, And everyone's so shocked about that number. He's dumping back into our economy even if it doesn't work. How would you not be in favor of such a project. Well, the point is it is a project. But think of the seventy thousand dollars annually that we spend on the average illegal imigrant, or the fact that at such a much higher rate they are on government assistance programs. If you look at twenty sixteen data, illegal immigrants accounted for thirteen percent of all non immigration related federal sentences in twenty thirteen. I'm sorry, twenty sixteen. Well that's greater than the three point five percent of the population illegal immigrants is said to make up. So three point five percent of the population thirteen percent of nonimmigration related federal sentences in twenty sixteen. They're at a much higher rate. They're committing crimes, and we've gone over the numbers in the statistics. Some of them are extremely serious. That would be murders, that would be assaults, that would be raped. These are serious crimes. Now, Hannity, you are you're attacking immigrants. No, I'm attacking criminal immigrants, and I'm attacking a system where politicians aid in a bet further law breaking and more crime by giving them sanctuary, protection and status that we don't hand them over when they get out of jail to the proper authorities so they can be deported. And if your son or daughter is one of those people that are killed as a result of not enforcing what is the federal immigration laws of the country, I don't think you feel too good about it. I agree with you one understand and I don't understand at this point. If you're a state and you are defying the federal comment that has happened in our country and you send you could send troops in. You could send troops. When they refuse to do you segregate to the college campuses, they send in a national guards. Listen, if they're openly releasing people will commit a crimes who are here illegally. Why don't we send the troops in and put Americans support immigration. Americans are good people. Americans understand all of us can go back and trace our roots and find that we came from other countries to come here for a better life, the freedom, the opportunity that America offers. We're not talking about shutting that opportunity out for people. We're just saying that, based on the things that have been going on and the you know, the crimes that are now being committed four thousand homicides in a two year period, thirty thousand sex crimes in a two year period, one hundred thousand violent crimes in a two year period, that we can do better, and we'll do better by protecting our borders so people can't walk across. It's that simple, and that's why it's a national emergency. Then add the drug component to it, and add the human trafficking component to it, and add the component potential terrorists want across that border. That's a big component. Also on Hannity, what about the ninety nine. I'm not disputing that I've been down there more than anyone else in the media, and I'm going down Thursday. I do not dispute that there are a lot of good people that see what we have and walk this great country of ours. We're saying do it legally. We cannot. We have a right to protect our own citizens first, and if you do come in legally, those protections will be for you as well. And as we get back to our busy, busy telephones, our Hannity Watch Border Government shutdown segment continues again today as we check in with Michelle Is in carried, North Carolina on the Sean Hannity Show. What's up, Michelle, how are you hey? I'm doing great, Sean, thank you so much for taking my call. I wanted to say a couple of things along with the caller that just came in. I think we are totally missing the point. First of all, in the financial portion. You know, every year we have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars given to individual states because of natural disasters, and should we spend that, absolutely, But when you're looking at potentially spending twenty five billion on a one time spending that is going to protect our entire country, it's absolutely worth it. It's a drop in the bucket. It's coomptually. And by the way, Mexico with the new trade deal is paying for the wall because we're making so much more money than we did with NAFTA. Well, you know, and I used to live in Mexico. I was a missionary in Mexico. Three my kids were born there down in Mexico City. And what people don't understand is the reason that Mexico is all still going to pay for this is because people don't understand that every person that comes across that border that is brought to a spot that has a weak area, that is brought by a coyote, every one of those people has to pay five to seven thousand dollars ahead to that coyote to get them to the spot on the wall that is passable. So if we have a wall that is impenetrable, that will end. And if we think, if we think for a minute that the Mexican government is not getting eighty five to ninety percent of that money that they are allowing to have happened up at that border, we are out of our minds because they are because they are getting wealth from that whole process, because they would rather shove everybody they possibly can up to our country so they don't have to deal with them in theirs. Look there, I gotta run, but I gotta tell you there are special interests on both sides. There are more people that want to come into this country than we can ever ever absorb the world's population. We open up up borders, it would it would be unbelievable. I don't blame people from wanting to get here, but you know, if you look at countries like Australia and New Zealand, you've got to invest in those countries to get it in. You got to have be practicing some trade or opening some business that's actually in need in their country before you can get in. They make it extremely difficult. Now, if you make it to the shores of Australia or New Zealand. They're gonna meet you out in the sea, gonna be nice about it. They're gonna throw you if you need medicine, they're gonna give you any assistance you need. They're gonna give you food, and they're gonna give you water. And then they're gonna walk you backwards and they're gonna make sure you head back to where you came from, by the way, not unlike what Mexico used to do too. All right, twenty five now till the top of the hour, Toll free or telephone numbers eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza. And we do have a lot of other news out there as it relates to we're getting a big, big picture now of what is the modern Democratic Party look like. We're gonna start out and I play. Let's start with Governor Cuomo of New York and his laundry list of leftism radicalism. Now, keep in mind states like New Jersey's number one, New York Illinois, they're losing tens and tens of thousands of residents every year because of their high tax policies and the lapidated rundown infrastructure in New York City alone. I mean it is a total and complete, utter mess, and they really need to like rebuild almost every bridge and tunnel, and which is going to be impossible. So you pay all and you pay separately. How much is it now to cross over the bridge or over the tunnel? You think I would know because you have an easy pass? What is it like seventeen dollars each way? Yeah? The Lincoln Tunnel is up to like eighteen or twenty dollars. And for like that's let's say you have to cross that tunnel to get to work. Everything sane. Yeah, I mean that's another tax for the for the truck drivers, some of them are paying over one hundred and fifty dollars, So what are they? What do we get for all the money we pay? We pay, you know, fort federal income tax, ten percent, state income tax, four percent city tax. So do the math. That's fifty four percent. Now you look at a state like California, Um, what are Gavin Newsom? Let's start with New York, then we'll go to California, and then we'll go to Acascio Cortez. Here's what Cuomo said within my first one hundred days, I will propose to the new Democratic Legislature the most progressive agenda this state has ever seen. Period, from voting reforms to rov Wade for New York, to protecting a woman's right to choose, to better gun laws, to healthcare protection, to legalizing marijuana, to protecting the labor movement, to a Green New Deal, to real criminal justice reform. We will make history. Okay, that is a liberal dream, a liberal I'm shoeing Linda a new little toy. I got there. That that is their utopia. All right, take that off. You're such a wise ass. You know. That's my self defense mechanism. That is a liberal utopia. Now, if you watch the candidates, the people that say they want to run for president on the Democratic side, you know the odd ball out that probably he might not even crazy Uncle Joe may not be able to get the nomination, especially because Hillary cheated so bad in the primary of the last time. All those rules, super delegates, all those things had to be changed and shifted. So it doesn't give the advantage as it did in twenty sixteen to the more establishment candidate that some of the money people wants. All right, so what does that mean that means you get Bozo the clown in Texas. That means you get Andrew Gillum Polka Hantas, as the President affectionately calls Elizabeth Warren. Then you get you know, Kamala Harris. She's writing a book. She wants to run, Spartacus wants to run. I don't see anything, but they're going so hard left. California Governor Gavin Newsom is vowing sanctuary to anybody that seeks it. Okay, that means are you people in California ready, because that means people that are in the country illegally. Doesn't matter what crimes they commit, it just matters that they're in California. That means Ice is not going to be able to take them when they get out of prison and deport them. That means they're moving back into the small towns and big cities of California. And he says children will not be ripped away from their parents. People's lives, freedom, security, the water we drink, the air we breathe, they all hang in the balance, he said. And then Newsom goes on and he proposed, and this is something everybody in the country needs to be aware of. And I think it's very nice, kind and generous of California taxpayers to offer this to every American and even people that are here illegally, because Newsom is proposing a healthcare mandate medical expansion to include everybody, including illegal immigrants. So Newsom announced sweeping proposals to tackle the states healthcare needs now that he's taken office, and outlining a dramatic medical expansion that would cover immigrant adults and who are also in the US illegally, require that all consumers in the state carry health insurance, and increase subsidies for middle class families that need that subsidy. This is basically, you know, Obamacare on steroids out there the day one. But nobody's ever going to be denied coverage. Every person should have access to equality, affordable healthcare, he said, and then he went on to say far away judges and politicians may try to turn back our progress, but we will never waiver in our pursuit of guaranteed healthcare for all Californians. Now, if they're going to take care of illegal immigrants, let's say you live in Montana. Let's say you live in Indiana or Ohio or Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvan, New York. Even you might if you get sick, you might want to take a vacation, fly out to California. You're not going to be denied coverage and go into Gavin. Take Gavin Newsom up at his offer of free healthcare, and everybody should go out, maybe the finest. I don't know if it's going to include every hospital. We gotta get the details of this now. He did stop short of a single payer system, but he says this is but a first step. Okay, so we'll watch that New York City's mayor, he's now Comrade d Blasio, is offering and guaranteeing comprehensive healthcare for all in the city of New York. Nothing is the thing is nothing is free in life. You know that somebody's gonna end up paying at some point someplace. And only six immigrants. By the way, this is an NBC headline. You want to talk about how dumb the media is. Only six immigrants in terrorism database stopped by CBP at the southern border in the first half of twenty eighteen, there's only six terrorists a trenacor only six. But that's where they want to take this country as goes California, New York. Now there's a mass exodus out of California, a mass exodus out of states like New Jersey, Illinois, New York. And they're going to states like Texas, you know, New York and New Jersey losing you know, like a hundred thousand people a year. And meanwhile, down in these states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee, or states like Nevada that have no state income tax, the numbers are going up hundreds of thousands every year, which, by the way, it helps those states. That's why those states keep growing. That's why those states have been prospering. Anyway, Oh, this woman that said we're going to impeach the m effort, this Rashida talib Is apparently she made an anti Semitic slur less than a week after saying that about the president on her first day in office and said we're going to impeach the m effer. Anyway, Now she's under fire from other politicians commentators for openly posting what they are calling an anti Semitic dog whistle on Twitter, and top Republicans in the Senate are alleging the Democratic leaders are hoping to hide the fact that Talib is just one of many Democratic politicians in Congress who harbored deeply anti Israeli views. And she responded to a post by A Bernie Sanders suggesting that Senate Republicans were more loyal to Israel than the US's By the way, that's an old anti Semitic canard. And the idea that we are supporting the our number one, ally and only democracy in the region, that's actually a good thing. This is gonna be a lively Congress, I can tell you that. All right, So let me go to Acasio Cortez's New Green Deal, and I know that you're gonna find a lot of this almost unthinkable. But she's the rising star of the Democratic Party, although I also heard that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are trying to get her to get out of the press as quickly as possible. So she is a self described democratic socialist. This is the Democratic Party. This is what they want. They think every single item that people need. They want full complete redistribution of wealth. Anyway, So she has proposed this green new deal, and it would cost roughly conservative estimates, forty trillion dollars in the first ten to fifteen years, and also the single payer healthcare proposal supported by Acasio Cortez that on its own would be thirty two trillion dollars. He got forty trillion for the Green New Deal program, thirty two trillion dollars for her new single payer healthcare plan that she's supporting. And she has suggested that the way to pay for these gigantic, massive government programs would be to increase the income tax rate on America's wealthiest earners as high as seventy percent. Now, if you live in New York, that's seventy percent then becomes eighty percent because of the state income tax. That eighty percent then becomes eighty four percent because then you have the New York City tax. And then if you own a home and anywhere in New York, the city or surrounding suburbs, now you're up to ninety percent tax, which means ninety cents of every dollar would go to the government. And but that's what she's proposing Medicare, Medicare for All, that is a thirty two trillion dollar costs estimate, raise taxes to seventy percent. You know, one of the things Democrats don't understand is the top fifty the top twenty percent of wage earners in America today, This whole soaked the rich plan that everybody on the left likes. They are ready pay the vast majority of the taxes they're paying. You know, bottom fifty percent pay three percent, twenty percent pays eighty eight percent. You have twenty percent of Americans paying eighty eight percent of the bill. She wants to even raise it further. What are we going to now empower the government? So the government what you either pay the seventy eighty cents of every dollar you make or what happens, You're gonna put you in jail. Well, what rich person is going to go and invest in any company in America if they're gonna lose eighty cents of every dollar. You know, I said this, and I know our friends over at Media Matters said, Hannity says that if she raises the rates of seventy percent, rich people won't buy boats. Well, that was one example. What I'm saying is if you take eighty percent of what people make or anywhere in that area, seventy percent federal income tax, and you add your other ten percent state income tax, city tax, four percent property tax, sales taxes, and you get to the point where you're taking seventy five eighty eighty five ninety cents of every dollar people make. What do you think those people are going to do? That? Not going to work anymore, They're not going to invest anymore, They're not going to produce anymore. You know all this class warfare. I never got a job in my life from a poor person. When I was working in restaurants, people had to be able to afford to go into a restaurant and buy a meal at a premium rate, and then they'd pay and leave a tip, and I'd be able to get money in my pocket. Didn't matter if I got paid for washing dishes or cooking, or bussing tables or waiting tables or at any bar. In my years in contracting, I never got a call from somebody in a poor neighborhood that said, Oh, I need you to paid the whole house over inside it out, and while you're there, I want you to do reconstruction and remove this old horse hair plaster plaster walls that I have and put a new plaster. And I want you to A poor person can't afford that and what I'm saying is, yeah, okay, then it impacts all right. Are people gonna buy new cars? Are people gonna buy and build bigger homes? Are people gonna buy a smaller home? Are people gonna renovate their home? Are people gonna buy? Yes, a boat? What happens if rich people don't have the money to buy their boats? Well, boatmakers, the guys that put them together, that make their living, that pay their insurance and pay their mortgage and pay their car payment, they're not going to have a job either. After we confiscate all of this money and you have everybody out there, and she's upset by the way that I guess, what do you call this PolitiFact? She got four false statements, he said, twenty one trillion in Pentagon accounting errors. That's where she's getting the money from Medicare for All costs thirty two trillion. That means sixty six percent of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon. No add math. And then she said, in her defeat of Republican Karen Handel, Macbeth was outspent five to one. No, that's not true either. No, didn't it fully get it? And then she said, just last year, we gave the military seven hundred billion dollars budget increase, which they didn't even ask for. No, that's not true either. No, that didn't work. ICE is required to fill thirty four thousand beds and detainees every single night, and that number has only been increasing since two thousand and nine. Beds and people. So, but this is the mindset. Andrew Cuomo, Gavin Newsom, Acasio Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala, Harris Spartacus, all of them together, this is what they want. They want this socialist utopia. They want redistribution, They want government literally confiscation. Anyway, eight hundred ninety four one, Shaun is our number. The President speaks right at nine o'clock. Brett Bear, John Roberts, Lindsey Graham, Greg Jarrett, Monica Crowley. Nine eastern tonight, the President addresses the nation, and we will have it live
