tonight on twitter sean hannity claims that never happened. joining me now is cnn political analyst kirsten powers and washington columnist max boot, author of "the corrosion of conservatism: why i left the right." u-macs, this -- what appears to be this feedback loop between fox and the white house. it's pretty incredible in true sense of the word. >> it's very pernicious, anderson. this is the inmates running the asylum. the president of the united states is governing to please fox news, which is the far right and not in terms of what's good for the country or what the constitution says. and so he is trumped up, so to speak, this nonexistent national emergency, and now he has trapped himself into doing something that appears to be extra constitutional to address this emergency because he's terrified of the blowback if he steps back from this crazy rhetoric -- the blowback he's going to get from the likes of hannity and rush limbaugh and so forth. >> he also could have gotten a better deal previously. >> right. >> except then he was criticized and at the last minute pulled out.
