6:01 pm
>> sean: welcome to "hannity." we begin with a fox news alert, the epstein files have been released and we are now learning the names of more than 150 individuals allegedly associated with the powerful convicted pedophile. that includes former president bill clinton. we will get from pam bondi, and alan dershowitz, who once represented epstein in court and whose name appears on the list. he will join us. also tonight, shocking new video from nevada where a convicted criminal -- this is unbelievable -- brutally attacking that judge after she sentenced him to jail, and it goes on from there. we have a lot more coming up. later, i do have bad news for jon stewart, formerly of "the daily show," who once begged me along with the jersey boys and nathan lane to stay in new york. you might remember. take a look. >> sean, you know you're mad at us, and you have every right to be.
6:02 pm
occupy wall street, governor cuomo, that we had smelled. new york has made a lot of big mistakes, but we are going to change. just, please, stay. >> sean: and they actually sing. anyway, now that i've officially moved to the three state of florida, my new permanent residence, i don't know. will jon stewart and the jersey boys and nathan lane ever survived? jimmy failla is here tonight to respond. first we turned back to our top story. the ultra wealthy convicted pedophile, jeffrey epstein, we know is dead, that he leaves behind a trail of high-profile associates and friends, including many who knew about or may have participated in his massive web of sexual abuse. to date, no one other than epstein and his partner, ghislaine maxwell, had ever been charged or convicted in connection with their "under aged sex trafficking ring" and allegations. but tonight a court just unsealed a list of names in a civil suit. this was brought by one of epstein's alleged victims.
6:03 pm
before we get to the names and the allegations, here's a quick reminder. for decades, jeffrey epstein was shrouded in mystery. he was once regarded as a billionaire investor. no one seemed to know how he became so wealthy, and so well-connected. he owned multiple private planes, a fleet of cars, several massive estates all across the country, including what was the largest home right there in new york city. he even had his very own private island named "little st. james." today, many of you know it as "pedophile island," based on numerous allegations that young girls were traffic to epstein's island and that they were, in fact, abused. also allegations, according to many, at his palm beach mansion, his home in new york, his sprawling mansion new mexico, and his luxury apartment in paris, france. at the very same time, epstein hung out with some of the most well-connected people on earth, including billionaires, actors,
6:04 pm
world leaders, and according to flight logs, former president bill clinton took nearly two dozen flights on epstein's private planes, including the jet that came to be known as the "lolita express." in its unsealed documents to mention the former president, including this exchange with one of epstein's victims. "epstein said that one time clinton like them young, referring to girls." keep in mind these allegations. this is from a civil suit and that was settled and has not been proven in a court of law. former president clinton has denied any wrongdoing. of course clinton is not the only high-profile name released tonight. anyway, joining us with all the latest details, our very own eric shawn. a lot of interest in this tonight. my phone has been blowing up, eric. >> good evening. 943 pages, a lot of stuff in this, some of it i can't say on tv, giving insight into the famous sex fiend a postrace world, including top business
6:05 pm
and political leaders. the documents on epstein include definitions, the unsealing of names of people he knew. being on the list, i want to say, is not an indication of any wrongdoing. as you said, perhaps the most notable name belongs to former president bill clinton. mr. clinton is seen here shaking hands with epstein in 1993. he's described as a key person to provide information about his close relationship with ghislaine maxwell and epstein. you can see ghislaine in that photo standing behind epstein. she's now serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking underage girls for epstein. she is appealing that conviction. then there's this, from johanna sjoberg. she testified that jeffrey told her clinton likes them young, referring to young girls. as for those reported flight logs, they do show the former president flew on epstein's jet to europe and the states but not to the private caribbean island. that is where authorities say
6:06 pm
epstein held those underage sexual parties. the mention of clinton comes in this page. according to the documents, maxwell says, just so we're clear, the allegation is that clinton had a meal on jeffries island, and that's 100% false. accused also that prince andrew put his hand on her breast for a photo at the upper east side mansion. you see a photo of prince andrew -- she denied that, by the way. this photo shows another accuser, virginia giuffre. she said she was forced to have sex as many men by epstein, including prince andrew. he denied that in the case about that has been settled. as for former president trump, his name does come up in the papers. he knew epstein in new york for many years but cut him off. reports say that mr. trump kicked epstein out of mar-a-lago because epstein hit on the teenage daughter of another member. that, before epstein was ever
6:07 pm
charged in the sex cases. johanna said that she, epstein, giuffre, and maxwell once visited one of trump's atlantic city casinos in 2001. johanna was asked a very direct and blunt question in her deposition. "did you ever massage donald trump?" her answer was no. she also said she met michael jackson at epstein's palm beach mansion. she also said in the depositions that she did not massage him, either. sean? >> sean: and there were other mentions of trump during the deposition. did you ever see trump at jeffrey's home? "not that i can remember." on his island? "not that i remember." in new york?" "not that i remember." for those who go after donald trump. joining us now, harvard law professor alan dershowitz. professor, you are mentioned in this document. you are mentioned repeatedly, and very specifically.
6:08 pm
it was the allegation against you that epstein forced then-minor jane doe number 3 to have sexual relations with you, and that also you are an eyewitness to sexual abuse of other minors by epstein. you have been out there vigorously defending your name, your honor, and denying these allegations fiercely, and i want to give you a chance now that it's come out in writing tonight to get your reaction. >> first of all, the woman he accused me has now stated categorically that she may have misidentified me with someone else. these documents, if all the documents are revealed, will prove categorically that she did misidentify me, that i never met her, never heard of her, never spoke to her. and i can prove it by independent means. i have all my travel records, i have all my television appearances. i can prove that i couldn't
6:09 pm
possibly have been anywhere near any of the people who were involved in this. i was epstein's lawyer. of course i flew on his plane. with ken starr, with roy black, with other lawyers. we flew to meetings with the u.s. attorney, with the state attorney. so people have to be very careful about what they are believing and when it happened. for example, as soon as epstein was shown to be what he was, i ended my personal association with him completely. but i maintained a legal relationship with him. i've represented some of the worst people and continue to do so. that's my life, and of course they represented epstein. the one point i want to make, i understand all the feminist groups and the radicals who think this is the worst thing in the world that anybody had any contact with jeffrey epstein. where are all those radical feminists when it comes to the
6:10 pm
hamas rapes of young jewish girls, sexual abuse, beheadings? they are quiet, they are silent. the incredible hypocrisy of the me too movement. me too, except if you are a jew. i want to have a list of all the radical feminists who are pushing hard. i understand that, to get all these names are revealed. i want to know, how many of them have ever actually condemned hamas for the rapes we now know occurred in the murders that have occurred? how many have been silent, and how many have actually approved of what hamas did? so let's put this in context. i'm thrilled all these papers have come out. i urged them. i went to court and ask for everything to come out, because i knew i had done nothing wrong, and the papers would exculpate me. what i only worry about is that maybe the judges withheld certain documents. i want to make sure every single document comes out, including the documents that cast doubt on the credibility of some of the
6:11 pm
accusers and some of the accused. the public has the right to see everything and make their own judgment and not perpetrate guilt by accusation, but guilt by association. >> sean: i don't rush to judgment, and frankly, on many high-profile cases in this country, this show, starting with richard duell, we've been right. we were right about duke lacrosse, we are right about uva, about ferguson, missouri, and freddie gray in baltimore. because i didn't rush to judgment and i had impeccable sources. i have known you for years. i don't really know why you like to defend these high-profile clients. everybody certainly deserves defense, including mr. epstein, including o.j. simpson, and you and i have had wars over bill clinton back in the day. >> share. >> sean: you've taken on these high-profile cases why? and do you regret it at all? did you ever see anything
6:12 pm
untoward about mr. epstein? >> i never did, and i do regret ever having met jeffrey epstein, because it's caused me the worst few years of my life, when i was falsely accused. i was canceled by the 92nd street y, by temple emanuel, and then she ultimately admitted that she may have confused me with someone else. so things have obviously gotten a lot better. now of course these revelations but my name in the headlines again. but i've never been afraid of that, because i have nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be ashamed of. i did nothing wrong. what i do it again? not if i knew i was going to be falsely accused. but i represented far worse people. i represented murderers, i've represented people who have done terrible, terrible things. that is an essential part of our system. if i don't do it, who well? i had tenure, an obligation to defend the most controversial, the worst people.
6:13 pm
sometimes i won, sometimes i lost, sometimes i created a plea bargain like i did in this case. epstein was furious at me, he wouldn't pay my fee because he thought i did a terrible job because he had to go to jail and report as a sex offender. the rest of the world thought it was a sweetheart deal. but that's what criminal defense lawyers do. i'm 85 years old. i hope the lord gives me the strength to continue to represent the most despised, the most controversial, the most unpopular people in the world. look at the hell i got for representing donald trump. i did that and i lost a lot of my friends and people say to me all the time, "i understand epstein but not trump. i understand trump but not obscene." you have to understand the role of a criminal defense lawyer is to defend everybody who is falsely accused. or even truthfully accused. >> sean: i think you're going to be the only one that does have the courage to say no, it's not true, and you do make a good point. if there's exculpatory information that is not released as part of the information that is being given out by the judge,
6:14 pm
i think that's unfair to everybody, and that would be unfair to you. if you believe it is excul exculpatory, i think the public said she that should see that, as well as well. >> i don't need any more exculpatory material because the woman has admitted she may have this identified me, and that's enough for me. i'm going on with my life and i'll continue to do what i have to do. thank you, sean, for the opportunity to present my case. >> sean: professor, we appreciate your time, as always. thank you for being with us. joining us now, pam bondi, and mark geragos. good have you both. pam, let's get your take on this release. what does it mean to you? >> well, it has trickled out, sean. it is trickling out. it should have come out a long time ago. professor dershowitz wanted it out, and by the way, he's one of the best attorneys in this country. i know him, i know his wife. that's a great family and they have been dragged through hell on this. i want to know why ag garland on
6:15 pm
the justice department are so quiet on this tonight. they are out there labeling parents as domestic terrorists, yet they are saying nothing about this, and these documents were so slow to come out. human trafficking is a multibillion-dollar business in this country, and jeffrey epstein is dead, and ghislaine maxwell is in prison for 20 years, where she belongs. if people in that report are still fighting to keep their names private, sean, they have no legal basis to do so unless they are a child, a victim, or a cooperating defendant by some chance against ghislaine axle. i think mark geragos as a great criminal defense attorney will back that up, as well. >> there are a lot of people professor dershowitz has represented that, frankly, i never liked, and really don't understand why he would take on these high-profile cases. you are just like
6:16 pm
professor dershowitz. you've taken on a lot of high-profile cases and i know you have paid a pretty dear price for representing people with the belief that everybody has the right to defense. and you paid a price for that. what is your take on tonight? >> you know, my father, who was my hero, and was a former prosecutor, i remember going to him over 20 years ago when i was asked to represent scott peterson. it was one of those things where he was the most hated man in the world. and he said, if you're not going to take this case because you are worried about your reputation, then why do you do what you do? which i kind of lived by, and i talked with alan over the years and we have represented many of the same people, and talked about the thankless job it is. it's been rewarding for both of us intellectually and financially, but at the same time, you have to suffer the slings and arrows. i will tell you that it is easy to make accusations, and it's a lot tougher when you are alan trying to defend yourself
6:17 pm
against the allegations. watching him and the pain he's gone through for the last couple of years, and i've talked to him on more than one occasion about the toll it has taken on him, i kind of chuckled to myself when he was talking about losing all the friends because he represented trump. some of the things -- the most hateful comments i've ever gotten was when i represented republican political fund-raisers. so i feel his pain, and probably not to the level exponentially that he has, because of trump, but it is a function of the system. if you believe in the constitution, if you believe in an adversarial system, then you need somebody to do it. not just walk through the motions. somebody who will fight zealously. i've never met a client yet who came to my office and said, "i just want someone to be window dressing and sit here and not really put up a defense." you want someone who's going to
6:18 pm
fight for you. i have had countless clients that have been innocent, and we have proven it. >> sean: what about bill clinton? how does he factor into this, we know he's a liar, we know the issue of monica lewinsky? i've got to believe a lot of americans suspect there might be some truth to this, especially the number of times he was on the plane, which i believe contradicted his public statement, if i recall corr correctly. pam? >> sean, we know one of the witnesses -- >> sean: hang on. pam first. pam? >> we know he was on the plane, not only a couple times, multiple times. he traveled internationally with jeffrey epstein, and he was on the plane called the lolita express because it supposedly had a bed in there where jeffrey epstein had young girls. he has been a friend of his, a continuing friend of his, for years and years. contrast that with donald trump, who hasn't spoken to him in many
6:19 pm
years, over a decade after he kicked him out of mar-a-lago for bad behavior. so that's the difference there, and i think americans see this two-tiered justice system. but we don't know -- they are saying clinton has not been to his private island, that he's traveled all over the world with jeffrey epstein. >> sean: over time, let's see. if the judge has other information that would add context and texture to the list, i do believe the judge has an obligation to release it, especially because people's names and reputations are at play here. thank you. mark geragos, thank you. when we come back, house republicans did something that joe biden and kamala harris couldn't be bothered to do -- actually visit the southern border. jim jordan was there, the speaker of the house was there, and we will check in with him, jim jordan, after this. also, the department of homeland security secretary mayorkas continues making excuses for the

>> sean: joe biden and kamala harris have no interest, apparently, in fixing the border crisis they themselves created, but the house republicans are now determined to take action. a group of more than 60 g.o.p. members led by the speaker of the house, mike johnson, they visited the border today to see things for themselves. by the way, something they may want to do. house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan was on that trip earlier today. he joins us now. we have all these budgetary battles that are upcoming, and to me there are two huge priorities the republicans -- well, three, actually, that republicans need
6:25 pm
to take on. one is the border, because i believe it is a clear and present danger, especially with all the people coming from iran, syria, afghanistan, egypt, russia, and china. the next issue of great importance is getting the $34 trillion under control, spending, and the third thing would be your investigation. will those things happen this election year? >> i think they will, and you not only see the problem here. 8 out of 10 americans know the border situation is a crisis. they also understand the magnitude. they think it's a crisis because it is. 300,000 last month, the highest on record. and under joe biden, his administration, the pace we are on, we will hit 12 million migrants coming into the country in four years. that's why leave got to stop. the plan should be no more migrants coming into the country unless there is some extenuating circumstances for an individual. no new migrants should be
6:26 pm
allowed in the country. one sentence will do it. that sentence is, do not spend american tax dollars to process or release into the country any new migrants. that's what we have to try to get on every single piece of legislation that we can, and force joe biden to do the right thing. >> sean: so joe biden, we know, since he's been president, by illuminating the policies of donald trump that were working, he allowed 8.3 million people now crossing that border. all pretty much unvented, including some very hostile regimes toward this country, some of our biggest geopolitical photos. didn't joe biden take an oath to uphold the laws of our land, our constitution, every law based on that document? is the president now allowed to just pick and choose what laws he will enforce? is a president allowed to aid and abet in lawbreaking by offering free transportation? are governors allowed to offer free health care like is now
6:27 pm
being offered in states like california, forcing taxpayers to pay for people that entered the country illegally? is that now our future? >> you are exactly right. when joe biden took the oath of office on january 20th, 2021, he supposed to go enforce the law. when he did that very day's issue a number of executive orders and change policy. he said no more building the wall, no more remain in mexico while we evaluate and asylum-seekers claim, and he said that once you come to the country you will be released to wherever you want to go, all across our nation. people are going. and everyone -- that's why i think the american people know that this is deliberate. this is willful. this is purposeful. he did this -- he was determined to do this, and the country understands just how wrong it is. that's why i think you are seeing the 80% polling numbers that show something has to be done. what i think has to be done, if he's not going to pass the bill, then he should do that -- we
6:28 pm
should do that one sentence and put it on legislation. >> sean: will mayorkas be impeached? >> we are always driven by the facts and evidence. i think the facts and evidence are pretty darn compelling for him. i also think the evidence is compelling for joe biden. that's why we have actually entered an impeachment inquiry. they took a vote, and they are moving forward with the witnesses, the final witnesses we need to depose before we make a determination. but i think the facts and evidence are already compelling for both individuals. >> sean: jim jordan, thank you so much, as always. we appreciate your time. breaking earlier tonight, the deferment of justice is now actually suing the state of texas as the biden administration is trying to stop what is a brand-new texas law that would allow police to arrest illegal immigrants after they crossed the border illegally. in other words, to do joe biden's job. this lawsuit is no surprise. the biden administration has pretty much done everything they can do to stop texas from taking any action to secure their
6:29 pm
border. homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas even tried to blame the entire crisis on texas governor greg abbott. take a look. >> let me identify one fundamental problem here, and that is the fact that we have one governor in the state of texas who is refusing to cooperate with other governors and other local officials, and coordinate efforts to address a challenge that our country -- which, this country should send united -- to address what our country is facing. it's a remarkable failure of governance to refuse to cooperate with one's fellow local and state officials. >> sean: texas governor greg abbott's with us now. this is the same secretary, governor, that was saying the border is closed, the border is secure, there is no illegal immigration taking place, don't believe your own eyes. he blamed climate change,
6:30 pm
donald trump, and you today for his failure. what is your reaction? >> listen, the only climate that has changed, sean, is the refusal to enforce immigration laws of the united states. you saw what happened four years ago and we had the lowest illegal immigration in 40 years. that's because president trump put in in place to four policies. the remaining mexico policy, the title 42 policy, catch and release, and building the border wall. when biden came in, he changed all of that and he created a climate, quite literally, that attracted people from 150 countries. texas is the only government in the united states of america stepping up trying to stop illegal immigration by building our own border wall and putting up the razor wire. by the way, joe biden is also challenging me in the united states supreme court right now, sean, trying to tear down the razor wire that texas put to stop illegal immigration.
6:31 pm
joe biden has spent no time trying to stop illegal immigration. he has only spent time trying to stop texas from stopping illegal immigration. >> sean: and it's amazing, neither he nor kamala harris -- for example, these mayors that are all complaining about just a tiny percentage of illegal immigrants, when you are dealing with pretty much the entire problem, they won't do their job. you are trying to do their job for them, and how they want to stop you from doing their job. if i picked up people at the border and took them to another state, would i be arrested and convicted? >> well, you got to do it in a way that it does not turn into kidnapping, and texas is doing it in a very legal way. when we sent people to washington, d.c., chicago, to l.a., to denver, wherever they're going to, it's done by the letter of the law to make sure nothing is wrong. however, what we have found is the hypocrisy of the mayor of new york, of the mayor of
6:32 pm
chicago, of the mayor of denver, and of california, things like that, where they say, "oh, we want to be a century city and provide these free benefits to migrants," but then they start complaining when texas starts dropping them off into their states and communities. this is a responsibility caused by the joe biden administration, and these democrat mayors need to wake up to the reality that their communities are going to continue to face challenges, including more buses and planes, unless and until joe biden starts enforcing the immigration laws of the united states. >> sean: governor, i give you a lot of credit. you have tried to protect the people in your state. you are doing everything imaginable. the people of texas have had to bear the cost of this. you have shown great leadership. hope you and mack in every one of these cases, and we do appreciate your time, as always. thank you, governor. all right, coming up next, checking video showing a judge being attacked after she denied

6:38 pm
but respect for the rule of law might be at an all-time low. anyway, here with reaction, former speaker of the house fox news contributor newt gingrich. when i look at the republicans at the border today, 8.3 million unvented illegal immigrants under joe biden, including from countries like iran, syria, egypt, afghanistan, russia, and china, i look at no bail, defund, dismantle, reimagine the police. how big are these issues going to play? the economy, we need more time for bidenomics to work. what are the issues that will define this race? look at law and order in this case. >> i think law and order will be one of them in a variety of ways. first of all, biden is not enforcing the law at the border. so you have a whole question there of just, obeying the law. he swore an oath to obey the law and is not obeying the law. you have i think green

6:41 pm
because otherwise you will just be implementing more of the same. that's my admonition. >> my sense is that a lot of people who are moving have figured it out, and they are not going to go back to the kind of crazy left-wing policies. the governor of new york now, for example, recommending a reparations commission. a stupid idea that would be one more effort to take things away. you have california with all sorts of nutty rules. what you have as an election this year, between continuing down a road that most of us know doesn't work, or taking back america and returning to a path that has made us the greatest country in the world. >> sean: actually have great representatives. i've got governor desantis, i've got senator rubio, i've got senator rick scott. you know what? there are great people here in florida. unlike where i came from, my former state, new york.

and '80s, have to sign things promising i wouldn't plagiarize? and if i did, i'd get thrown out of school as opposed to made president of the university. when these charges first emerged against president gay, harvard denied them. they backed her up. they fought for her. only to find that they were more and more and more credible allegations. sean, i read her entire op-ed, and it's amazing she resigned, because she doesn't believe she did anything wrong. she called the congressional testimony in which she failed to condemn and say that tries of genocide against jews is abhorrent and should be allowed at harvard, she said it was a "well laid track." the only trap is in her mind. she failed to answer the question and she got what she deserved. >> sean: to down come want to go. horace, where is mit? >> absolutely the focus needs to
6:50 pm
turn onto mit and recognize high standards. it's not about race. and without accomplishment, about talent, and certainly not about indulging the evil of anti-semitism. >> sean: by the way, it shouldn't have just been about the added charge of plagiarism. to me, that testimony before -- elise stefanik who did a magnificent job, honestly, that should have been enough for her to have to leave and not get paid. last word. >> and that's why president gay called it a well-designed trapped, as if she still doesn't get it. she'd still doesn't understand the mistake is hers, what she did and what she said. she still is allowed at harvard's campuses, that's the problem. getting rid of presidents doesn't solve the academic problem we have in this country. >> and she continues to get nearly million dollars a year. unbelievable. thank you both. i've made it official. my new home state is florida. i'm out forever out of new york.
