SEAN HANNITY, HOST: This is a Fox News Alert. President Trump is
back on the road. Earlier tonight, he held a rally in Music City,
Nashville, Tennessee, where the president reacted to an Obama-
appointed federal judge, this time in Hawaii, putting another hold
on his temporary travel ban, and much more. Let's look at some of
the highlights from tonight.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Moments ago, I learned that a district judge
in Hawaii...

(BOOS)


TRUMP: ... part of the much overturned 9th circuit court...

(BOOS)

TRUMP: And I have to be nice, otherwise I'll get criticized. A judge
has just blocked our executive order on travel and refugees coming
into our country from certain countries!

Some of the fake news said, I don't think Donald Trump wants to
build a wall. Can you imagine if I said we're not going to build a
wall?

(BOOS)

TRUMP: Fake news. Fake, fake news.

We'll get rid of ObamaCare and make health care better for you and
for your family!

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: All right, we'll have reaction to the president's rally.
That's coming up later in the show.

But first, NBC's corporate jihad against President Donald Trump
continues. Plus, a new report from Circa News shows the
investigation into a server connected to Donald Trump was, in fact,
a politically motivated hit job pushed by a big-time Hillary Clinton
donor. By the way, that's tonight's "Opening Monologue."

All right, NBC has now hit a new low by releasing the president's
tax returns, or a small portion of them, last night. But what we're
seeing from the alt-left propaganda destroy Donald Trump media, it's
not new.

Now that Donald Trump occupies the Oval Office, the opposition party
press is going to new extremes and lows to try and take down his
presidency, and they won't stop until he's out of office.

Now, I've been saying since 2008 right here on this program,
journalism is dead. Now it's in the ground, buried, flowers on top.
And last night's political hit job by NBC is just the latest example
in the media's long list of attacks against the president. Here's
just a small sampling.

(END VIDEO CLIPS)

LAWRENCE O'DONNELL, MSNBC, MARCH 7: Here you have a deranged
president, or a pathologically lying president, lying about the
operations of the American government and lying about the previous
president of the United States. That's enough to invoke the 25th
Amendment, but Mike Pence and the Cabinet are not there yet.

CHRIS MATTHEWS, MSNBC, JAN. 20: When he said today "America first,"
it was not just a racial -- I mean, I shouldn't say racial, the
Hitlerian background to it...

MIKA BRZEZINSKI, MSNBC, MARCH 10: I understand why so many people
voted for him. I understand where you were coming from. I understand
why you liked him. But this man is lying to you.

BRIAN WILLIAMS, MSNBC, FEB. 16: Trump's critics, those who are
worried about this president and this White House, saw a live
special television event brought to you by narcissism, thin skin,
chaos and deeply personal grievances.

VAN JONES, CNN, NOV. 9, 2016: This was a whitelash. This was a
whitelash against a changing country. It was a whitelash against a
black president in part. And that's the part where the pain comes.

JONES, OCT. 19, 2016: This is a really sad night. I'm just going to
say it. This is a very sad night for the country. You can't polish
this turd.

NICHOLAS KRISTOF, NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST, CNN, JAN. 24: I don't
know -- are you using the word lie or falsehood? What are you --
what are you...

DON LEMON, CNN: Yes.

(CROSSTALK)

LEMON: I mean, I think you have use -- the word -- the word -- you
have to call it what it is.

LEMON, JAN. 11: It was interesting because I saw Sean Spicer on Fox
News, and he said that you were rude. And I thought...

JIM ACOSTA, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: The First
Amendment does not require us --

LEMON: When he calls you fake news, what if you had called him a
fake president?

(END VIDEO CLIPS)

HANNITY: Beyond awful. And when the alt-left propaganda media isn't
doing what you just saw and attacking the integrity and mental
health of the president, well, they're running wild with all kinds
of bizarre conspiracy theories about the Trump campaign colluding
with the Russians. Now, what the biased press refuses to tell you,
there is zero -- no evidence whatsoever that shows any kind of
collusion.

Well, that didn't stop the leader of the alt-left propaganda media,
Rachel Maddow herself, from going off the deep end last night,
claiming that in 2005, a Russian oligarch knew that Donald Trump was
going to be president, so he bought a property from him in Florida
and Trump made a huge profit, more than two times what he paid for
it!

And as I said last night, Maddow thinks that somehow, maybe Russia
knew in 2005 that Donald Trump would be elected president in 2016. Unfortunately, NBC News didn't think that was possible even on
election night. Now, that's pretty pathetic, and the media should
know better, but they'd rather put their radical left-wing agenda
than telling the truth to the American people. That's why they never
vetted Obama. That's why they colluded with Hillary.

Now, two journalists at Circa News, Sara Carter, John Solomon, who
will be here in just a minute, have already debunked this Russia
story and conspiracy and the talking points. Now, last week, they
reported that the FBI has found no evidence of collusion between
Trump and the Russians, just like James Clapper had said. And that's
officials that are inside the agency. They are frustrated how it's
now being represented by this media that is corrupt.

Tonight, they have another bombshell story. Here's the headline.
Quote, "Hillary Clinton supporter pushed Trump-Russia computer
narrative investigated by FBI."

Now, according to the report, computer scientist and Indiana
University professor L. Jean Camp pushed the theory into the left-
wing media that a computer server connected to Donald Trump was
communicating with a Russian bank. Now, the FBI did, in fact, look
into it. They found nothing to indicate collusion between the Trump
campaign and the Russians.

Now, it's very important to note that L. Jean Camp has donated,
shockingly, thousands of dollars to Hillary Clinton, including
$2,200 to her 2016 presidential campaign. She's also donated over
$10,000 to Democratic groups and candidates since 2004, including
the radical group Moveon.org.

But it doesn't end there. Camp also has a series of social media
posts where she advocated for Hillary Clinton. She pushed the
Trump-Russia conspiracy connection and talked about joining the
quote, "resistance."

Circa News reached out to Camp for a comment on the story. She
confirmed the donations and said her actions regarding the server
were not politically motivated. Oh, that's shocking. But once again,
the alt left media -- they didn't even bother to look into this!

Here now with more, the journalists who broke the story, from Circa
News, Sara Carter and John Solomon. Let me ask, John -- I'll start
with you. I anybody -- this is pretty blockbuster information. You
both have over two decades in the media. And by the way, you're not
a member of my right-wing conspiracy. You worked for the AP for 20
years. I doubt I could get a job there, right?

(LAUGHTER)

JOHN SOLOMON, CIRCA NEWS: Probably not. Right.

HANNITY: All right, has anybody else in the -- probably not? All
right. Thanks a lot.

(CROSSTALK)

HANNITY: ... there, John. All right, so has anyone else in the media
looked into your story, called you about it, asked for background,
considering you're well known in this industry.

SOLOMON: Yes, they haven't, and of course, at the end of the day,
when you do these things, you're more concerned about the facts and
what sort of attention or media attention you get. Listen, there are
so many things being thrown around Washington right now. And going
back to the basics of journalism, I learned a long time ago. Follow
the money, follow the politics.

And I think when you look at some of these allegations, you start to
see a partisan political line and you see a money line. And I think
both of those things are very important to keep looking at.

HANNITY: Sara, has anyone reached out to you? And why don't you
bring us up to speed on this new development while John gets his
earpiece fixed.

(LAUGHTER)

SARA CARTER, CIRCA NEWS: Absolutely! No, no one's reached out to me,
either. And just like John, I mean, the most important thing is
getting the facts out to the American public and ensuring that we're
doing our job and doing our job well by stating those facts.

What we discovered here is that Professor L. Jean Camp, who is very
partisan and a supporter of Hillary Clinton, who's made donations
not just to Hillary Clinton but to groups supporting the Democratic
Party, posted on her Web site actually in October these connections, supposedly, between the Trump server and the Russian bank. We know
that they were first posted on Reddit. And we did not know by who
yet, but we know that it was one of her colleagues, and that they
pushed the FBI to investigate this.

And the FBI did investigate this and found no collusion whatsoever.
In fact, the data that was bouncing back and forth between the Trump
server and the Russian bank -- I mean, well, it contained no data.
It was pings, and it contained no data. So they didn't find any
collusion whatsoever and dropped the case.

And like I said before, I mean, the investigation was less than two
weeks. So they didn't spend a lot of time on it and kind of pushed
it away. Although Camp stated to us in her e-mail responses that
she wished they had continued the investigation.

HANNITY: Well, it raises questions, Sara. And before we get John
back into this here, why did the FBI listen to a political partisan?
And we talked about the FISA warrant and another warrant which I'm
suspecting it came from the FBI in some way, shape, manner or form,
a criminal investigation, and any ancillary information they got
from a Trump server. There was surveillance on a Trump server from
the Trump Tower. Although it's off-site, it's the Trump Tower
server. And they found nothing.

Why don't they tell the American people this is nonsense and move
on?

CARTER: I don't know. All I know is that Senator Lindsey Graham has
been asking the FBI to make that statement. And he even said today
that there's no evidence proving that there's any investigation
between Trump and Russia. And he hopes that the FBI director Comey
will answer that question. What we know is that Director Comey spoke
with Senator Grassley today, as well as Senator Feinstein, and that
meeting lasted more than a hour.

What they spoke about was classified, and they did not reveal what
was spoken about. But one thing that we do know is that coming from
our sources, coming from the sources that John and I both spoke
with, there is no evidence of any criminality between Trump and the
Trump team and Russia to date. And that is a fact.

HANNITY: Was she acting as a lone agent on her own volition, John,
or is there a potential here that this runs deeper, maybe a
collusion maybe at the direction of somebody in the Hillary campaign
or Hillary supporters?

SOLOMON: Listen, Jean Camp is a well-respected computer researcher.
She hung out, as she said, with a bunch of nerds -- that was her
term -- and that they discovered these pings. They became fascinated
by it and they tried to gain attention from it.

I think the most interesting part of her social media is when you
look in the last few weeks, she seems to lament that this didn't get
more attention and that it might have knocked Donald Trump out of
the presidency.

And it does go towards her motive. Giving donations to Hillary
Clinton, lamenting that the allegations she made didn't knock Trump
out of office -- I think those are things that the American public
has to take a look at and weigh when they see these...

HANNITY: All right, last question.

SOLOMON: Sure.

HANNITY: Sara, I'll throw it to you. Last question. So where is --
where -- what's the next level of this story from your vantage
point? What are the questions you want most answered?

CARTER: Well, I think we've just reached the tip of the iceberg. But
one of the questions that I think really needs to be answered --
it's a question that House Intelligence chairman Nunes posed today.
Who unmasked the names of Flynn? Where -- who was looking at this
raw data? How many more people in the White House could possibly be
exposed by leaks in the future?

And what are the regulations regarding those? I mean, these are
questions that really need to be answered, and they're very damaging
to the national security of this country, as well as to the rights
of citizens for privacy. And I think there's going to be a lot more
to this story, Sean.

HANNITY: I think there's going to be a lot more to it. I think
you're right. The deep state, the Obama holdovers, career
bureaucrats, saboteurs -- they're -- they're trying to prevent the
president from being able to do his job. They're spending so much
time on these things. That's why I say that purge needs to happen.
And I think the U.S. attorneys was only the first step, in my humble
opinion. Anyway, thank you both for being with us. We'll follow this investigation.

And up next tonight right here on "Hannity"...

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: I don't know. I have no idea where they got it, but it's
illegal. And you're not supposed to have it. And it's not supposed
to be leaked.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: President Trump reacts to his 2005 tax returns being
leaked. Somebody committed a felony. Up next, former speaker of the
House Newt Gingrich weighs in on that.

And later tonight...

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: And we are going to repeal and replace horrible, disastrous
ObamaCare!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: President Trump during his rally in Music City, Nashville
USA, said ObamaCare must be repealed and replaced. All of that, Jay
Sekulow, Sharyl Attkisson, Michelle Malkin and much more tonight.
Newt's next straight ahead.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HANNITY: And welcome back to "Hannity." So President Trump during
his sitdown interview with our friend and colleague Tucker Carlson
earlier today, spoke about the release of his 2005 tax returns.
Watch his answer.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: I don't know. I have no idea where they got it. But it's
illegal. And you're not supposed to have it. And it's not supposed
to be leaked. And it's certainly not an embarrassing tax return at
all, but it's an illegal thing. They've been doing it. They've done
it before, and I think it's a disgrace.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: It was a disgrace and likely a felony. And earlier today,
MSNBC's liberal Joe Scarborough suggested President Trump leaked the
tax returns himself.

Yes, liberal Joe tweeted, quote, "This one tax return is not bad for
him because he cherry-picked one return from over a decade ago and
had it leaked to the press." I guess the Russians went out in the
dark of night and put it in some guy's mailbox. Anyway, "The Trump
camp released one positive tax return to distract from Russia
hearings and "TrumpCare's" meltdown. That's painfully obvious."

NBC is now the network of bizarre conspiracy theories

Anyway, joining us with reaction, author of the New York Times
best-seller "Treason," also a new op-ed on FoxNews.com about the
president's budget, that's former speaker of the House, Fox News
contributor Newt Gingrich.

You worked with liberal Joe. I mean, I guess, you know, he's kind of
jumped the shark a bit, and now he's into mad conspiracy theories.
But...

NEWT GINGRICH, R-FMR. HOUSE SPEAKER, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Look...

HANNITY: Yes. When you get that look, I know something's coming. Go
ahead.

GINGRICH: Look, if you go to the movies and you look at "X-Men" or
you look at "Transformers" or you look at a whole range of these
hero movies and these various wild action movies, you understand the
mindset of a large number of Americans who can't think anymore.

(LAUGHTER)

HANNITY: Yes!

GINGRICH: And all they want is noise and sound and action. And
that's the modern left. I mean, what -- Joe Scarborough used to be a
much smarter guy, but the longer he stays at MSNBC, the more he
seems to drink the left- wing Kool-Aid, and it gets to be kind of
goofy. It's not ideological, it's just out of touch with reality.

So let's start with what the president said, which I agree with 100
percent, but it's up to the president and his administration to
follow through. It is a felony to release an Internal Revenue
Service tax record. It's punishable by five years’ imprisonment.
And they're going to have to start empaneling grand juries and
tracking down people who are breaking the law.

Let's be clear about this. This isn't about civil disobedience. This
isn't about, you know, the public's right to know. There are a set
of laws for good, powerful reasons which prevent people from
routinely taking government information and giving it out. And we
have to enforce those laws if we're going to have any kind of
semblance of government in Washington, D.C.

HANNITY: I've been putting up every night, Mr. Speaker, on this
program -- - I've been putting up every example of every leak from
the intelligence community. Now we've got his tax returns leaking.
Somebody -- in every case, you're right. This is a felony that is
being committed. And I talk a lot about the deep state. I talk a lot
about the lies and conspiracies that keep getting, you know,
repeated by the -- the destroy Trump media.

And now it's gotten to the point where I've got to believe that 60,
5 percent of the time that the Trump team is now spending on
defending things that people like John Solomon are reporting are not
true. There's been no proof, no evidence of any Russian collusion.

Where's James Comey? Why is he not telling the country, yes, we
investigated it, it's over. There's nothing there.

GINGRICH: Look, what the Trump team should do, what the president
should do is appoint one or two people to deal with nonsense. And
they can be called sort of the nonsense squad. And they can...

(CROSSTALK)

HANNITY: Who wants that job? I work in the White House and I'm the
nonsense director.

GINGRICH: You could -- no, no, you could...

HANNITY: I deal with the conspiracy theories.

GINGRICH: ... find some adventurous souls. All I'm saying is they
would go in and they would start Spicer's press briefing with a five
or ten- minute list of that week's nonsense. Then they'd leave.
Everybody else ought to focus on infrastructure, creating jobs,
solving the health problem, the kind of things that matter to the
average American.

They should not allow the elite media to suck them into wasting
their senior management time chasing a bunch of stories that are
garbage. I mean (INAUDIBLE) OK, here's the garbage patrol. Maybe
they give it to the person they're mad at. You're now going to be
punished. You're in charge of the garbage patrol. I don't care how
they do it. You know, maybe they can go out and recruit Mitt Romney.
I mean, there are a lot of different opportunities for service here.
But what they should do is have a very small...

HANNITY: So basically, hire a garbage man.

GINGRICH: ... number of people whose job is to...

HANNITY: A propaganda conspiracy...

GINGRICH: Their job is to deal with...

HANNITY: ... debunking garbage man.

GINGRICH: ... nonsense, and everybody else should focus on the real
job.

HANNITY: Look, I -- part of it's funny, but when you have the
president of the United States -- when you have deep state
bureaucrats, Obama holdovers, and you've got these lifelong, you
know, career bureaucrats that want to destroy the president and are
breaking laws doing it, it's got to end. These people have to go.
They have to be fired. It's hurting the country.

GINGRICH: The only way...

HANNITY: And it's -- yes.

GINGRICH: The only way it's going to end is either, A, for Trump to
cave in and surrender, or B, for them to root out, fire the people
who are doing this, including career civil servants who are breaking
the law. And I -- there's no -- nothing in the civil service rules
that allow you to break the law. And I think they have to enforce it
very aggressively.

HANNITY: I think the odds of Donald Trump, the president, retreating
and surrendering are about negative 1,000. So I don't see that
scenario unfolding. But you're right, a lot of people would say,
Well, it's a lot easier to just act like we're being president. I
don't think -- I didn't see that tonight when he was speaking in
Nashville, Tennessee.

But we got to take a break. We'll have more with Newt Gingrich.
We'll talk about agenda items beyond conspiracies.

And also coming up next...

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: And we are going to repeal and replace horrible, disastrous
ObamaCare!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: President Trump promising again ObamaCare must be repealed
and replaced. Can he get it done with Republican lawmakers that are
at each other's throat? We'll ask Newt Gingrich how to solve that.

And also later tonight...

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: Some of the fake news said, I don't think Donald Trump wants
to build the wall. Can you imagine if I said we're not going to
build a wall? Fake news. Fake, fake news!

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: Yes, NBC, CNN, fake news, President Trump calling out the
alt left propaganda destroy Trump media at tonight's rally. Jay
Sekulow, Sharyl Attkisson will weigh in on that.

Also Michelle Malkin is here on this busy news night. Please stay
with us.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: We are going to repeal and replace horrible, disastrous
ObamaCare!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

TRUMP: If we leave ObamaCare in place, millions and millions of
people will be forced off their plans. The bill that I will
ultimately sign, and that will be a bill where everybody's going to
get into the room and we're going to get it done, will get rid of
ObamaCare and make health care better for you and for your family!

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: All right, that was President Trump earlier tonight,
Nashville, Tennessee, saying he is optimistic he will hammer out a
deal with Republicans to repeal, replace ObamaCare.

Now, during his interview with Tucker Carlson, the president said
there are five or six Republican senators who oppose the GOP health
care plan. I've said it on the show before. Republican leadership,
in my opinion -- they were ill prepared for this moment. Now it's
time to get it right.

And there is reports from The Washington Post that say, quote,
"Ryan-backed group target Freedom Caucus members with TV ads on the
health care bill."

Back with us, former speaker of the House, Fox News contributor Newt
Gingrich. I think that was before today, the speaker said it's not
going to be the binary choice, take it or leave it, that they were
once selling.

I've said from the beginning, Mr. Speaker, I think they ought to get
the Freedom Caucus. They ought to get Reince and Bannon and the
White House in there. I even suggested you be a part of the group.
The Study Group should get in there, the Freedom Caucus. I think
they ought to get Senators Cotton and Lee and Rand Paul and -- and
Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in there. Get the groups that are opposing
it, Heritage, Americans for Prosperity, Club for growth -- get
themselves in a room, take away everybody's phone, build (ph) the
box that you talk about in creating legislation and get it done!

It seems like this is -- all this infighting shows that they're ill
prepared after eight years of running on this!

GINGRICH: Well, look, I mean, I think you are partially right. But
I think you also...

HANNITY: I think I'm always right.

GINGRICH: ... could expand the room. I know.

(LAUGHTER)

GINGRICH: But you invited me to be your guest, so I want to give
you...

HANNITY: I'm kidding!

GINGRICH: ... a slightly different opinion.

(LAUGHTER)

HANNITY: I know. Sorry. Go ahead.

GINGRICH: Look, here's my -- here's my point, and this is what folks
on the right sometimes forget. Yes, you ought to get all those
people in the room. You also have to get Senator Collins from Maine.
You have to get Senator Murkowski from Alaska. When you look at the
Senate margins, since zero Democrats are going to help because they
can't possibly be for repealing ObamaCare or they get killed in the
primaries, you have 52 votes in the Senate, period. That's the
universe. So you can't say, oh, let's make sure we take care of Ted
Cruz, but, oh, by the way, now we have lost five senators over here.
That's a net loss. That's not a win.

HANNITY: OK, but there has got to be a sweet spot. There's got to be
a win-win. There's about 23, 24 members that were in districts where
Hillary Clinton won the district but they won the Republican seat.
I'm not saying abandon those people, but I am using your analogy
here. This isn't mine, that you create a box and within that box is
the answer. And no one is going to get everything they want.

GINGRICH: Look, you are right, and I believe in that box. My first
point to the Freedom Caucus and others is the box has to include
everyone, which makes it harder, not easier. Second, I would say to
you, the number one key that I learned from the Army's training in
doctrine command way back in 1979 is a very simple set of words --
listen, learn, help, and lead. And the leadership is going to learn
in the next few days that they better spend more of their time
listening and less of their time lecturing, because it is a free
society. You have to get all these folks talking and they have got
to sort it out. And they've got to say, well, maybe plan one doesn't
work, what about a plan two, a plan three, a plan five, a plan 11?

We didn't get the things we got done by locking people in a room and
just getting one way or no way. We kept churning and looking and
developing. And we had to learn a lot. Health care is the most
complicated thing we will try to do. Ten times more complicated than
national security.

HANNITY: For eight years, and you can even argue since November 8th,
they knew what the president's mandate was on this. Of course they
are not going to be able to arm twist their way to a successful bill
and there's going to build a lot of resentment. I am frustrated and
I know many other people are frustrated that they will were not
prepared. All of the infighting we see going on on TV and on radio
every day and in the papers, shouldn't that have been handled way
before they rolled out this bill and most of this taken care of and
the consensus built?

GINGRICH: In theory, yes. I agree. I once read a fascinating book by
a golf teacher who had been Arnie Palmer's roommate at Wake Forest.
And he said he and Palmer would go out and they both had bad shots.
And all the way to his next shot, he beat himself up for being
stupid. All the way up to the next shot. Palmer would look up and
go, "bad shot," and that's it. All the way up he's figuring out how
to recover. Guess which guy did better?

So my only point is, we are where we are. You can go back and
apportion lots of things. There wasn't a big enough transition team.
They weren't prepared to deal with the complexity. Tom Price, who is
brilliant and a great doctor and a good congressman, by himself
can't be the whole department. The Democrats successfully slowed
everything down by at least two months.

So there are lots of places you can look at and say whether it is it
Ryan or it's Trump or it's McConnell, it's just where we are in
life. The question is, where do we go from here now? I think that
we've seen Trump who tonight was very good.

HANNITY: I agree. Do you like my idea -- put everybody in a room,
and all sides, all factions, everybody speaks, and lock the door,
throw away your phones, and get the job done?

GINGRICH: I wouldn't do that because it takes days to solve this and
I don't want people to go crazy. But your basic premise is correct.
I am very pleased with how Trump is doing this. What did he talk
about tonight? He doesn't say it is this bill or nothing. He says
you're going to love the ultimate bill. That is exactly the right
attitude. Now let's figure out how we roll up our sleeves --

HANNITY: In many ways, the president -- didn't the president in a
tough spot that he's got to go in and clean up their mess. It's
frustrating.

GINGRICH: Sean. He ran for the job. He's a volunteer. He's a big
boy. It's OK.

(LAUGHTER)

HANNITY: He's got the executive branch. They've got the
legislative branch.

GINGRICH: I know. But if one of those guys could have done it, they
would be president. They got a brand-new guy learning a brand new
game. He's never done it before. He gets better every week.

(CROSSTALK)

HANNITY: -- he's been great at negotiations. So all right, Mr.
Speaker.

GINGRICH: And he will be. Part of negotiating is patience. Part of
negotiating is a sense of humor. He will get there. I'm very
confident that President Trump will bring to bear all the things he
has learned in his career.

HANNITY: And so far, I think he is. I am more critical of the
legislative branch, but hopefully they get their act together and
hopefully we learn something as we move forward to the budgets.
They're going to pass two budgets this year, tax reform. A lot of
big issues on the table. So we've got to get moving. Thank you, sir.

And up next, tonight, right here on "Hannity."

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: Some of the fake news said I don't think Donald Trump wants
to build a wall. Can you imagine if I said we will not build a wall?
Fake news. Fake, fake news.

HANNITY: President Trump calling out the alt left propaganda media
at tonight's Tennessee rally. We're going to get reaction. Jay
Sekulow, Sharyl Attkisson will joins us. And the later, Michelle
Malkin joins us live to weigh in on NBC's corporate jihad against
the president and much more straight ahead.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: Some of the fake news said I don't think Donald Trump wants
to build a wall. Can you imagine if I said we will not build a wall?
Fake news. Fake, fake news.

And by the way, watch what happens. You just booed ObamaCare. They
will say Trump got booed when he mentioned it. They are bad people,
folks. They're bad people.

HANNITY: That was the president earlier tonight talking about all
the fake news that we have to get bombarded with pretty much every

died in '08. The alt-left propaganda destroy-Trump media was
salivating at the mouth last night, announcing NBC got a hold of
Trump's 2005 tax returns.

Let's compare and contrast, shall we? Between 2000 and 2015, take a
look. The Obamas paid a whopping $6.1 million in federal taxes, 15
years. Keep in mind, President Trump and the first lady Melania
Trump, they paid in one year alone, in 2005, $38 million. By the
way, at a higher rate than the Obama's. So President Trump paid more
taxes to the government in one year than the Obama stated in 15
years, probably their entire life and then some.

Joining us now with reaction from the American Center for Law and
Justice Jay Sekulow, and she is the host of "Full Measure" and the
author of the upcoming book "The Smear, How Shady Political
Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think, and
How you Vote," Sharyl Attkisson is with us, former of CBS.

Sharyl, it's daily. You have NBC now as the national bizarre
conspiracy network. CNN, all these networks on this Russia
conspiracy thing. How many years have you known John Solomon? Do you
believe John Solomon? Do you trust his reporting?

SHARYL ATTKISSON, "FULL MEASURE" HOST: John Solomon has excellent
