Speaking during his opening monologue on ‘Hannity’ Wednesday night, Sean weighed-in on President Trump’s bold decision to deploy the National Guard to the southern border; saying the President was “taking action” after Congressional leaders refused “to lift a finger.”
“President Trump is on a complete tear by continuing to keep his promises and enact the agenda that the American people voted for in November 2016. The DHS Secretary made a major announcement about President Trump’s plan to secure the southern border,” said Hannity.
“President Trump has signed the proclamation to send the National Guard to the southern border,” he added. “The President deserves a lot of credit. If Congress isn’t going to lift a finger to solve the problem, then he’s going to take the steps as Commander-in-Chief and do it on his own.”
“The liberal media won’t be telling you that, they’ll be busy orchestrating an onslaught of any negative story they could find; obsessing over Stormy Daniels and Russia,” said Sean.

MILITARY TO BORDER: Trump to DEPLOY US TROOPS to Protect Southern Border
President Trump announced Tuesday his plans to deploy the American military to the United States’ southern border with Mexico; telling reporters “we’re going to be guarding our border with the military” until the US has a proper border wall.
The President was speaking with reporters at the White House when he unveiled his response to the crisis sweeping across the US border, threatening to scrap America’s free-trade deal with Mexico if they refuse to cooperate.
“We have very bad laws for our border. We’re going to be doing some things. I spoke with General Mattis, we’re going to be doing things with the military. Until we have a wall and proper security, we’re going to be guarding our border with the military,” said the Commander-in-Chief.
“It’s a big step, we certainly haven’t done that before. We will be doing things with Mexico and they have to do it, otherwise I’m not going to do the NAFTA deal. NAFTA’s been fantastic for Mexico and bad for us,” he added.

CRISIS CANCELED: ‘Caravan’ CALLED OFF After Trump’s TOUGH TALK
A ‘caravan’ of Central American asylum-seekers abandoned their plans to march to the southern border of the United States Wednesday, saying they will “wrap up” their journey in Mexico City after President Trump’s threat to deploy the US military to the region.
“A caravan of Central American migrants whose trek across Mexico infuriated President Donald Trump has decided not to travel to the US border, leaders said Tuesday,” writes the AFP.
“We will wrap up our work in Mexico City,” said the leader of People Without Borders. “We have support teams at the border if there are people who need assistance there, but they would have to travel on their own.”
The President issued a stark warning to Mexican authorities this week after the 1,500 strong ‘caravan’ made its way through Mexico towards the US border; saying he was prepared to deploy the US military to help avert a potential humanitarian crisis.
“We have very bad laws for our border. We’re going to be doing some things. I spoke with General Mattis, we’re going to be doing things with the military. Until we have a wall and proper security, we’re going to be guarding our border with the military,” said the Commander-in-Chief.
